Chapter 1017 Plague War

The Rinan tribe's construction of Jingguan has aroused public anger in the city, and the wind of nationalism is flourishing. Although Wu Yi took this opportunity to rectify the internal surrender trend and stabilize people's hearts, it also brought side effects. Many people were unable to suppress their anger and wanted to fight to the death with the Northern Tartars.

If they really went to war, it would only be an egg hitting a stone, and they would be broken and bloody. It was not that Wu Yi had no confidence, but he was facing not a small force of the Rinan tribe, but the power of the entire Rinan tribe.

Their grand strategy was not something that Wu Yi could shake by himself. He could be confident, but if he didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, he would become ignorant.

However, Wu Yi could not ignore the emotions of the people in the city. Their reasons were also very sufficient. There was not enough food in the city. Instead of starving to death and waiting to die, it was better to go out of the city to fight. Killing one would not lose, and killing two would be a profit.

Wu Yi finally weighed the two options. On the one hand, he continued to dig tunnels so that he could attack and defend; on the other hand, he split the soldiers into small units. When it was dark, they went out of the city's water gate to harass the other side and gather information.

Wu Yi's original intention was not to let them fight head-on. It was good to achieve something, but the important thing was to preserve themselves. In the case of an absolute disparity in military strength, even a one-for-one exchange would be a loss. Preserving talents was the most important thing. Otherwise, no matter how good the city was, it would be useless.

However, once these people were released, they were no longer subject to Wu Yi's constraints. They made a big fuss and even changed their clothes to sneak into the military camp of the Rinan tribe to assassinate the high-ranking officials. The reason they used was that Wu Yi asked them to gather information.

They might think that as long as they killed a few high-ranking officials of the Rinan tribe, they would be leaderless and the other side would retreat!

These people were born in the border area and could speak some Rinan language to a certain extent. There were not many obstacles in communicating with the enemy, and the process of lurking was relatively smooth.

Among them, most of them failed naturally, but there were always one or two successful examples, like killing a priest on the opposite side! I don't know the specific identity, but judging from the reaction of the Rinnan army, the priest's identity should not be low.

The opposite side seemed to be touched on the buttocks, and quickly launched a retaliatory move. Dozens of catapults were lined up in a row, and huge stones of a radius of ten feet flew high and fell heavily as if they were free.

The huge stones hit the top of the city, and each time they hit the top of the city shook once, dust flew, and cracks appeared. Some recently repaired weak places collapsed, crushing countless soldiers and civilians.

It is not difficult to make catapults, but it is difficult to find where the huge stones come from. These are all consumables. They will be scattered and broken after use and cannot be restored. Wu Yi's side is almost in a passive situation of being beaten.

The self-righteous behavior of the subordinates brought great trouble to Wu Yi. The most important thing is that other people did not think it was wrong, but were happy to think that they had vented their anger for their dead compatriots and regarded them as heroes.

It was really helpless. Wu Yi was very distressed about this. He could not go against the will of the people. He could only use the reason that the Rinan army was closely guarded to reduce the frequency of soldiers going out.

Wu Yi still needed the support of the people at this moment, even if it cost a price. And on the bright side, assassinating the other side's high-level officials also gathered the people's hearts.

Countless boulders fell, and the soldiers on the top of the city had already entered the inner wall. The casualties were not great. The main reason was the rumbling sound that lasted for nearly an hour, which was a bit scary.

With the help of the observation tower, the soldiers could still see the outside scene and set up crossbows to fight back. Therefore, the Rinan army launched an attack after the boulders stopped, but did not gain much advantage. They left behind several corpses and withdrew again.

Wu Yi heard the news reported by his men and thought that the revenge of the Rinan army had come to an end. However, he did not expect that in the next moment, a shadow fell from the sky and landed on the ground, making a dull sound and turning into a pool of flesh and blood with a foul odor.

What happened right in front of Wu Yi was originally thought to be a soldier accidentally splashed by a boulder. Although the possibility is not high, after all, Wu Yi is in the center of Tianlang City! How can a corpse be splashed so far away? Could it be that the Rinan tribe threw the corpse in? Not long after this thought came to his mind, another corpse fell not far from Wu Yi. It was no longer human-shaped and bloody. The disgusting scene, Wu Yi didn't want to describe it. The first two words that came to his mind were plague! Yes, plague! Since ancient times, there must be a big epidemic after a war. The poor sanitary environment on the battlefield gave the dirty things the best opportunity to reproduce. The environment was already extremely bad. The Rinan army's behavior was like peeing on the ink, turning 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 would never have thought that they would be so humiliated after their death! It is difficult to compare corpses with boulders, but if they fall on people's heads, the threat is still great, so under the protection of the left and right, Wu Yi entered the bunker basement.

The boulders are difficult to search, but there are many corpses on the battlefield. It is beyond Wu Yi's expectation that the Sunan army can do such a thing. Don't they worry about the spread of the plague and shoot themselves in the foot?

This cruel throwing action lasted from noon to dusk, and finally ended. When Wu Yi came out of the basement, it seemed as if a different world had changed in front of him. What is the sea of ​​blood and corpses, what is the netherworld hell, this is it.

Mosquitoes and flies were flying and maggots were squirming. Many people were used to seeing the bloodshed on the battlefield. Seeing such scenes, they couldn't help but feel sick and vomited.

Enduring the intense discomfort, Wu Yi mobilized the city residents to clean up the flesh and blood, spread it with lime, and burn it with mugwort. If it didn't work, he would bury it on the spot.

It was destined to be a sleepless night. In order to dispose of these flesh and blood, Wu Yi rushed around all night to persuade residents to clean up as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the plague broke out, even the arrival of the Great Luo Jinxian would not be able to save the current situation.

In the next few days, the Rinan tribe's army stopped. Looking from the top of the city, their camp was already empty. They had retreated dozens of miles. They dug a deep trench around Tianlang City and placed wooden spikes. , to prevent people in the city from breaking through.

He is really vicious, doing such a thing in order to prevent the plague from spreading to himself.

Three days later, the flesh and blood in the city had been cleaned up. Although it was stained with blood, it was finally possible to see.

Wu Yi thought that as the sand spread, these blood stains would one day be covered up.

However, things are not that simple at all!
