Chapter 1017 Plague War
The actions of the Rinan people to build Jingguan made people in the city angry and the trend of nationalism flourished. Although Wu Yi took this opportunity to clean up the internal surrender trend and stabilize people's hearts, it also brought side effects, and many people were unable to suppress their anger. , want to fight to the death with Beilu.
If he really goes to war, he will end up with an egg hitting a rock and his head will be bloody. It's not that Wu Yi doesn't have confidence, but that he is not facing a small force of the Rinan tribe, but the entire Rinan tribe. force.
Their grand strategy cannot be shaken by Wu Yi alone. He is confident. If he does not know the heights of the sky, he will be reduced to ignorance.
However, Wu Yi had to take care of the mood of the people in the city. Their reasons were also very good. There was not enough food in the city. Instead of starving to death and waiting to die, it was better to go out and fight. Killing one person would not be a loss, but killing two would make a profit.
In the end, Wu Yi weighed two things. On the one hand, he continued to dig tunnels so that he could advance and attack and retreat and defend. On the other hand, he divided the soldiers into small units and took advantage of the darkness to escape from the city. Go out and harass the other party, and at the same time be responsible for inquiring about information.
Wu Yi's original intention was not to let them fight head-on. It is good to achieve something, but the most important thing is to preserve oneself. In the case of absolute disparity in military strength, even if it is one for one, it will be a loss. The most important thing is to retain talents. A good city is useless.
It's just that once these people were released, they were no longer restrained by Wu Yi once they left Tianlang City. They made a big fuss and even changed their clothes, sneaked into the Rinan army camp, and assassinated senior officials in the name of Wu Yi. They inquired for information.
They may have thought that as long as they killed a few senior members of the Rinan clan and left the group without a leader, the other side would retreat!
These people were born in the border areas and could more or less speak some Nichinan language. There were not many obstacles in communicating with the enemy, and the process of lurking was relatively smooth.
Of course, the vast majority of them are failures, but there are always one or two successful examples, like killing a priest from the opposite side! I don’t know the specific identity, but judging from the reaction of the Rinan tribe’s army, the identity of the priest should be not low.
As if their butt had been touched, the opponent quickly launched a retaliatory move. Dozens of catapults were lined up in a row, and huge rocks with a radius of about ten feet flew up high and fell heavily as if they were free of charge.
Huge boulders hit the top of the city, shaking it with every blow. Sand and dust flew into the air, and cracks appeared. Some newly repaired weak areas collapsed, crushing countless soldiers and civilians to death.
It is not difficult to make a catapult, but the difficulty lies in where the boulders come from. These are all consumables. They will fall apart after use and cannot be restored. Wu Yi's side is almost in a passive situation of being beaten.
The self-righteous actions of the people below caused Wu Yi a lot of trouble. The most important thing is that other people did not think it was wrong. Instead, they happily thought that they had breathed evil for the dead compatriots and regarded him as a hero.
It was really helpless. Wu Yi was very troubled by this, and he could not go against the public opinion. He could only reduce the frequency of soldiers going out on the grounds that the Rinan army was closely guarding them.
Wu Yi still needs the support of the people at this moment, even if it requires a price, it is necessary. And looking on the bright side, assassinating the opponent's senior officials also unites the people's hearts.
Countless boulders fell down, and the soldiers on top of the city had already entered the interior of the city wall. The casualties were actually not large. The main reason was the rumbling sound that lasted for nearly an hour, which was a bit scary.
The soldiers could still see the outside scene with the help of the observation tower, and could also set up their bows and crossbows to fight back. Therefore, the Rinan army launched an attack after the boulder stopped, but they did not take much advantage. They left a few corpses and retreated again.
When Wu Yi heard the news reported by his men, he thought that the revenge of the Rinan army had come to an end, but unexpectedly, at the next moment, a shadow fell from the sky and landed on the ground, making a dull sound. The sound turned into a pool of flesh and blood, and the stench was unpleasant.
What happened right in front of Wu Yi's eyes, I thought it was some soldier who was accidentally splashed here by a huge boulder. Although the possibility is not high, after all, where Wu Yi is, it is the center of Tianlang City! Where would a body be sputtered so far.
Could it be that the Nichinan tribe threw the corpse in? Not long after this idea arose in his mind, another corpse fell not far away from Wu Yi. The human form was no longer visible and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Wu Yi didn't want to describe the disgusting scene. Two words immediately came to mind: plague!
Yes, the plague!
Since ancient wars, there must have been great epidemics. The poor sanitary environment on the battlefield gave the best opportunity for filthy things to multiply wantonly.
The environment was already extremely bad, but the Ninan tribe's army peed on the ink and turned it into a big dye vat.
Looking up, black shadows fell from the sky and landed in many places in the city. The owners of these corpses probably would not have thought that they would be so humiliated after their death!
The corpse was incomparable to a boulder, but if it hit a person on the head, the threat would still be great, so with the protection of the left and right, Wu Yi entered the basement of the bunker.
The boulders are difficult to search, and there are many corpses on the battlefield. The Rinan army was able to do such a thing, which was beyond Wu Yi's expectation. Aren't they worried about the spread of the plague and shooting themselves in the foot?
This cruel throwing operation lasted from noon to evening before it finally ended. When Wu Yi came out of the basement, it was as if a different world had changed before his eyes. What was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, what was a netherworld and hell?
Mosquitoes and flies were flying, maggots were crawling, and many people were used to the bloody storm on the battlefield. Seeing such a scene, they couldn't help vomiting.
Enduring the strong discomfort, Wu Yi mobilized the residents in the city to clean up the flesh and blood, spread it with lime, burn it with wormwood, and bury it on the spot.
It was destined to be a sleepless night. In order to deal with the flesh and blood, Wu Yi rushed around all night, persuading the residents to clean up as soon as possible, otherwise once the plague broke out, even the arrival of the Golden Immortal of Daluo could not save the current situation.
In the next few days, the Rinnan army calmed down. From the top of the city, their camp had long been empty. They had retreated dozens of miles, surrounded Tianlang City, dug a deep trench, and placed wooden spikes to prevent people in the city from breaking out.
It was really vicious. In order to prevent the plague from ravaging themselves, they did such a thing.
Three days later, the flesh and blood in the city had been cleaned up. Although it was bloodstained, it was finally acceptable.
Wu Yi thought that as the wind and sand spread, these bloodstains would be covered up one day.
However, things were not that simple at all!
