Chapter 330 Teach her well (2)
Du Jiu thought, this is not good, what is good?
"Archers ready!"
"put!"
The sound of killing under the city tower was loud, and after being forced to stop by the first wave of arrow rain, the imperial army retreated a few hundred meters away. Seeing that the arrow rain finally stopped, they rushed up again.
"Brothers, they are short of arrows, hurry up!"
But before they got close to the city gate, pots of boiling water and hot oil were poured down, and the besieging soldiers wailed in pain and dared not come any closer.
"General!" Shi Jin's deputy retreated to Shi Jin's side, "The opponent is too cunning, they just attacked the city not long ago, where did they find the hot water and boiling oil?"
Looking at the stalemate in front of him, Shi Jin thought of a possibility, that is, the people in this city were helping the rebels, that's why they had so much boiling oil and boiling water. He raised his hand and said, "Pause the attack, don't make unnecessary sacrifices."
Ban Hua had been on guard for a long time, and they would not be able to please them if they attacked hard now.
"yes!"
"General, they have withdrawn."
A soldier pointed to the city in surprise.
"It's just a plan to slow down the troops," Ban Hua narrowed his eyes, "These court troops will never come again within two hours, so you can rest on the spot and leave a few people guarding the top of the city. Remember not to leave your weapons!"
"yes!"
Ban Hua supported the mottled bricks on the city wall, looking at the distant direction of the imperial army with a calm expression.
She didn't know why Shi Jin was willing to lead troops to exterminate the rebels, but he was a very calm person, and he didn't want to be easily irritated like the general guarding the city of Qingsong County, so she had to be careful and cautious.
If she were Shi Jin, what method would she choose to attack the city?
"General Shi, what should we do now?"
Shi Jin looked at the wounded soldier being carried on the stretcher, shook his head and said, "Give medicine to the wounded soldier first."
"General, there is not enough wound medicine, not enough."
"General, there are some problems with some weapons, and I'm afraid they can't be used normally on the battlefield."
"General, the food that the imperial court distributed to us has become moldy, and my subordinates are worried that if these things are made for the soldiers to eat, everyone's health will be overwhelmed."
The more Shi Jin listened, the more he became silent. The moths in the court wanted them to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but at the same time gave them these things to eat. It is really hateful! Even though Shi Jin had a calm personality, he couldn't help but sullen his face. Why did he support such an imperial court and such a royal family? !
"General?!"
Seeing the general's ugly face, the leader of the group asked cautiously, "Are you all right?"
Shi Jin shook his head: "Go and see what you can eat, let everyone satisfy their hunger first, as for the others... I will figure out a way later."
The gang leader withdrew from the tent, Shi Jin sat helplessly on the chair, rubbed his forehead and sighed.
In the middle of the night, the soldier guarding the food and grass took a nap. When he opened his eyes, he hurriedly looked around. Seeing that no colleagues noticed him, he shook his head quickly to make himself more awake.
At this time, he saw a soldier walking out of a certain camp, muttering something like diarrhea in his mouth. He remembered the bowl of musty porridge he had eaten at night, and looked at the soldier with some sympathy. He looks young and tender, and I'm afraid he has never been on the battlefield before. These veterans have never eaten anything, not to mention musty porridge, but they have eaten a lot of grass roots, bark, mountain mice and hares.
After a while, the little soldier came back with his pants in his hands. When he walked past him, he whispered, "Brother, don't you feel sick to your stomach?"
"What is this, young people like you just haven't seen the world," the guard bragged to the young man for a while, then suddenly felt a little pissed, and said to the soldier, "Please take a look for me, I'll be back soon. "
"Brother, I haven't seen these, you, hurry up." The young man glanced around and saw that there were only a few soldiers guarding here, looking a little scared.
"It's all on the battlefield, why are you still talking like a bitch?" Seeing that he was still afraid of the dark, the guard couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Just stand here and I'll be right back."
When he turned around to leave, he was still a little proud, these recruits just didn't know how hard it was on the battlefield without scolding them.
Banhua threw all the phosphorous powder she had hidden on her body into the back warehouse, and after she stood a few steps away, she threw the lit paper ball into it.
"Boom!" The phosphor powder ignited as soon as it met the sparks. A guard next to her noticed her movement, and before she could speak, she covered her mouth and knocked her unconscious, and then threw it a little farther away from the granary. .
"It's on fire, the granary is on fire." After Ban Hua shouted this sentence, she quickly hid behind the tent next to her. After the other soldiers in the tent ran out, she squeezed into the crowd in a hurry.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, look around Yan's barracks, and don't let suspicious people escape!"
When Shi Jin heard that the granary was on fire, he was not shocked at all. He walked outside the account and saw that the fire in the granary was quickly extinguished. He looked around and asked, "Have you caught any suspicious persons?"
At this time, a soldier came to report that he had just spoken to a fair-skinned young man.
Fair-skinned boy?
Shi Jin was secretly suspicious, could it be that Ban Hua did it himself?
After the open fire was extinguished, he found some small fires that were not extinguished emitting a faint blue light: "Is that...phosphor powder?"
Phosphorus powder is something that jugglers can use, but these crafts are generally not passed on to the outside world, unless you have such a craftsman in your family, you can understand the inside story. It seems that this is really Ban Hua's handwriting. I know that the Ban family has raised many jugglers.
But what is she trying to do, this kind of fire can't burn the granary at all, this is a pile of grain, not a pile of flammable paper.
He was puzzled, and he didn't return to the main tent until the soldiers returned to the tent to rest wearily. As soon as he sat on the couch, there was a cold sword on his neck.
"Princess, you shouldn't have come." He closed his eyes, "If I speak out now, you won't be able to get out of this tent alive."
"Is there anything wrong with it?" Banhua turned to his front and said with a smile, "I believe that many people are sleeping soundly now, even if they beat gongs and drums, they may not be able to wake up."
What she dropped in the granary just now was not only flammable phosphorous powder, but also hypnotic powder. Anyone who smelled the smoke would unconsciously feel sleepy.
Shi Jin's complexion changed slightly: "Is this your main purpose?"
Ban Hua smiled without saying a word.
Shi Jin opened his eyes and looked at Ban Hua who was dressed as a soldier in front of him. Under the dim candlelight, her face looked a little dim, but her eyes were as bright as stars. He looked away, "The princess is good at it, but Shi is not as good as it."
