Daqin Engineers

Chapter 70

Yang Duanhe looked confused: "What is Mongolian sweat medicine?"

When Yang Duanhe asked Shen Bing that way, he knew that there was no show. He explained slightly disappointed:

"It's a kind of medicine, and you lose consciousness temporarily after taking it."

After thinking about it, Yang Duanhe replied:

"This Mongolian perspiration medicine has never existed, but there is a frog with a similar effect."

Shen Bing stared at Yang Duanhe in a daze.

What the hell is this wood turtle?

Later, Shen Bing realized that this was a kind of poison, and it was usually a poison that nobles would prepare.

There is a saying that "accompanied by a monarch is like a tiger". In ancient times, nobles were actually very unsafe.

This was especially true after Shang Yang's reforms, and that decree was either cutting the feet or cutting the nose.

These are not bad, in case the torture such as "Ling Chi," "Half Cut", and "Car Crack" is going to be staged if it annoys the king.

Therefore, in order to prevent any accidents, most nobles will prepare some poison to "take poison to kill themselves."

In order to avoid getting the time to survive, not to seek death, not to suffer alive.

This wood turtle is one of the commonly used poisons.

Although Crane Dinghong and his ilk have quick results, they are miserable and expensive.

In contrast, the price of Panmuchi is very close to the people, and after taking it, the symptoms are limb tremor, breathing difficulties and then die in a coma, and the pain is much less.

It can be said that he committed suicide by taking poison while traveling at home...

Shen Bing did not answer and asked, "I wonder if the burning of this thing is fatal?"

Yang Duanhe shook his head and replied:

"Although I haven't tried it, I know that taking a small amount of this substance is not fatal."

"It will only have headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, and inconvenience."

"What use do you want this thing for?"

Then Yang Duanhe laughed again:

"Could it be that you want to poison those Zhao soldiers?"

"If we can poison the food, why should I wait for it?"

What Yang Duanhe said was that if he could get into Zhao Jun and poison him, it would be even easier to open the city gate directly.

However, Shen Bing has his own reason, and he replied unhurriedly:

"What if I wait not to poison the food, but to throw this mussel in a sackfire bomb into the city?"

Yang Duanhe couldn't help but uttered "Oh", then he nodded with wide-eyed eyes:

"Cunning plan, this plan will probably be successful!"

"Just act on this plan."

Needless to say, Yang Duanhe immediately reported the matter to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian is at a loss at this time, so there is no reason to disagree.

At the moment, all the nobles in the army were ordered to surrender their portable turtles...

Conditional nobles will also bring some during the war, in case they can get rid of their injuries quickly.

In addition, Wang Jian also sent cavalry to the surrounding drugstores to search, and within a day, he gathered a small basket of Panmuchi.

The number is small, and of course it is far from enough to deal with all Zhao Jun.

But if you just deal with the city gate... then it is more than enough.

That night, Shen Bing asked people to load these Panmuko into dozens of sackfire bullets.

This is not a simple installation, but it is mixed with dried horse manure and then loaded into the middle layer of sackfire bomb.

The reason for this is that the dried horse dung burns longer and has a lot of smoke.

From a scientific point of view:

If horse dung is not used, the poisonous gas produced by the burning of the wood turtle will quickly rise into the air and be dispersed by the wind.

If mixed with horse dung, there are many heavier particles and impurities in horse dung smoke, which will carry the toxicity of the catfish to stay on the ground for a long time and spread.

As for wrapping it in the middle layer, it is to burn more fully.

After it was over, Shen Bing also asked people to tie these special linen fireballs with a red string to show the difference.

Otherwise, it won't be very good for someone who accidentally gets mixed up in other fireballs and knocks him over.

Yang Duan and Na organized five hundred trapped men and practiced overnight.

The content of the exercise is to familiarize them with the structure of the gate, and which team is responsible for killing the enemy after rushing to the top of the city, which team is responsible for covering, and which team is responsible for opening the gate...

I kept busy until late at night before giving them a good meal and then hurrying to rest.

Early the next morning, as soon as it was light, Zhao Jun hit the high platform with a trebuchet as usual.

What Zhao Jun didn't know was that those high platforms were nothing but wooden shelves to attract his attention.

When the sun rose slowly from the east, Wang Jian gave an order to attack.

Suddenly the drums rumbled and the killing sound shook the sky.

The tens of thousands of Qin army rushed towards the city wall from all sides like a tide, then set up a siege ladder and climbed up the city wall.

The focus of the Qin army's offensive was on the east, west, and south.

This can be seen from the number of Qin's trebuchets and the strength of the siege troops.

Especially in the east, the number of catapults and crossbowmen is the sum of other directions.

Stone bullets and arrows flew towards Zhao Jun, covering the sky and sun like dark clouds.

This makes sense.

The ancients did not attack the city without considering the random deployment of troops. They also considered various factors.

For example, in the east in the morning, the sun just rises from the horizon and the sun shines directly on the east side of the city.

This would cause some disturbance to Zhao Jun's sight in the east, especially the crossbowmen.

However, the Qin Army crossbowmen could find the target more easily because of the sunlight illuminating the city head.

The one who was in charge of defending the city was veteran Pang Nuan... After Li Mu died, it was Pang Nuan that Zhao Guo could still use.

As for Zhao Cong, all the soldiers and civilians resisted at this time because of his notoriety for killing Li Mu.

Of course, this boycott is not public.

But no matter which army Zhao Cong leads, there will be many deserters or subordinates who refuse to obey orders.

In desperation, King Zhao could only hang him aside.

Pang Nuan stood at the head of the city and observed the offensive of the Qin Army. His first feeling was that the offensive of the Qin Army was different from usual.

The biggest difference is that the scale is much larger than usual. Looking around, the Qin army is ready to go, densely packed like ants.

Pang Nuan only said that the Qin army was trying to fight to the death, so now he drew his forces to the main attack direction of the Qin army, which is the East Gate.

However, what Pang Nuan did not expect was that this was just Qin Jun's plan to adjust the tiger away from the mountain.

The main direction of the Qin Army's attack has always been the north gate of Yang Duanhe.

It's no wonder that Pang Nuan couldn't think that the north gate city wall was a few feet higher than the city walls in other directions. How could the Qin army take it as the main thing?

Even Pang Nuan felt that it was normal for the Qin army to be the weakest offensive at the North Gate.

The two armies have been fighting like this for half an hour, and the situation changed before Pang Nuan could react.

When Pang Nuan was busy transferring a large amount of supplies and troops to the east gate, a general hurriedly reported:

"General!"

"The Qin Army stepped up its offensive at the North Gate."

"North Gate asks for help."

Pang Nuan was clumsy on the left and right, and was incapable of coping. When he heard this, Qin Jun was just diverting his attention from the north gate.

So I answered without thinking about it:

"Let the north gate hold fast."

"There will be reinforcements later!"

The minister responded and returned to his life.

Who ever thought that before Pang Nuan had time to send reinforcements, the North Gate was in chaos.

When Pang Nuan was wondering, he saw a few soldiers covered in blood running up and shouting:

"General, the big thing is not good!"

"The North Gate is lost!"

"Qin Jun has broken into the city from the north gate!"
