Chapter 876
Xi Fang's words are not exaggerating at all. When the first ray of sunshine bloomed in Shaping City the next morning, the soldiers really cried.
Too hot! It can't stand it!
Although the heat wave has swept through Luotian Mansion, it is at least tolerated, not as hot as Shaping City. Xuan Tianming told them: "The ancient Shu and Dashun are separated from Dashun and like a tropical insulation belt. Maybe you think the heat in Lanzhou and Biannan is still acceptable, but once you enter the real desert area, this heat is difficult to bear. The reason why I chose to attack the first city of Ancient Shu overnight last night was to take advantage of the coolness at night. When you were not invaded by the heat and your vital signs had not yet appeared, we won a city with a strong impact, which is a shock to ancient Shu. At the same time, it also won a transition period for our army to help you overcome this scorching heat."
When he said this, people were not particularly convinced by this statement. Although they were too hot to bear it, no matter how they thought about it, they would not have any physical problems, and even had problems that were too big to go to the battlefield to fight.
However, this idea did not last long. At noon this day, a large number of soldiers began to have diarrhea, start to have heatstroke, and even start to faint. Even Xuan Tianming himself, if he had not secretly used his internal energy to dissipate the heat, he would probably not be able to withstand the heat waves in the desert.
Ancient Shu was the first country on the edge of the desert. Because it did not go deep into the desert, the territory was still much larger than that of the small countries in the desert. There were twelve cities in total, and the capital was in the south-center area and behind the fourth city. Shaping City was closest to Dashun. Although it was not in the heart of the desert, it was surrounded by loess inside and outside the city. However, most of the ground in the city was still covered with blue bricks, and these blue bricks were obviously taken from Dashun. In order not to be strong, people in the city could not leave the door at all.
Every city and country in the desert are built on the river. It can be said that the desert people are very sensitive and accurate in finding water sources. They depend on these water sources to survive. In order to protect the water sources, almost all cities and countries surrounded the moat in the city, and there are heavy troops guarding the rivers. It can be said that the water sources are the foundation for the safety of the residents of the desert countries and cannot be neglected.
There is also a river in Shaping City, which is the mother river of Shaping people. In fact, the people of Shaping did not have much disgust with Dashun's occupation. They lived close to Dashun. When ancient Shu surrendered to Dashun, trade exchanges between the two countries were very frequent. Dashun merchants always came to Shaping City to buy their specialties, such as fruits, spices, and delicious jerky that they knew how to make. The merchants of ancient Shu would also walk to Lanzhou and bring back Dashun's clothing, vegetables, grains and other items from there. It can be said that most of the food eaten by the people of Shaping City was exchanged for Dashun. Although their understanding of Dashun was limited to Lanzhou and Luotianfu, they already yearned for Dashun's wealth.
After Xuan Tianming's army entered the city, it did not destroy the buildings, nor did it persecute the people. Apart from the riots caused by the escape of the ancient Shu army, the city was almost the same as it was. Xuan Tianming even brought soldiers with better physical conditions into the city to clean it, and also provided key protection for the river.
When the people of Shaping City saw that Dashun's soldiers were so reasonable and understood, they were no longer afraid. They walked out of their homes and helped with the tools of cleaning. At noon, they invited the soldiers to their homes for dinner. Some people even couldn't wait to ask: "Will we be under the jurisdiction of Dashun in Shaping? Then, we don't need to be as harsh as before when we traveled between ancient Shu and Dashun?"
This man happened to ask He Gan, who was puzzled: "I used to be very harsh?"
The man nodded: "Yes! Although there was no war before, the two countries allowed interoperability transactions, but the tax was too heavy, and every ten taels of silver earned, five taels would be deducted, which would make hard money. Moreover, whether from Dashun to ancient Shu, or from ancient Shu to Dashun, we had to go to the government to file first, and then the government issued a pass certificate so that we could cross the border. However, the exchange was only ten days at most, and we had to pass through the southern desert. We were all riding camels and stayed in Dashun for a few days."
He Gan nodded, "So that's the case. Shaping City has just been won, and the transaction communication should have to wait for a while before it can be restored. However, Shaping has been included in the Dashun territory, and there should be no need to be such trouble when dealing with merchants. I will talk to our coach and ask him what his opinion is, so as to make it more convenient for you all."
The man was very happy to hear this and asked He Gan to drink more special fruit wines from them, saying that they could relieve the heat.
In the past few days, the busiest people are Songkang and other military doctors. There are too many people with heatstroke, and Songkang wants to be treated without sleep. But it doesn’t work. Under such conditions, he cannot show off. He must eat, drink and sleep well so that he can ensure physical strength. After all, he was a native of the Northern Realm and was used to the cold and had to deal with the scorching heat. Unfortunately, whether it is Xuan Tianming or other soldiers, they all know that no one can suffer this time. Once the doctors fall down, there will be no one to treat the soldiers. So, the herbal tea can be treated with Songkang and others first, and even Xifang invited a few local girls to help Kang Song and others fan them. At least it will be a bit windy.
Song Kang did not refuse, and others did not plan, because everyone understood the principle that the military doctor must ensure the physical strength.
Fortunately, Feng Yuheng prepared a lot of medicines for the army before, and they were all Western medicines, which were easy to carry and had a long shelf life. Most of them were for the heat, diarrhea, and heat relief medicines. Songkang distributed them according to the needs to ensure that no pill was wasted. At the same time, he also suggested that Xuan Tianming ask several local doctors for help. After all, they should take such symptoms and are more comfortable. In addition, there are also some special medicinal materials and special foods like homemade fruit wine, which are very good to use for heat relief.
After several days of busy work, the soldiers who were caught in the heat finally relieved, and Xuan Tianming breathed a sigh of relief. It was not until this time that the soldiers secretly thanked that their general was really predictable. While they had just arrived and entered the border south at night, the temperature difference between the night and day in the desert was very large. They fought a beautiful battle while the cooldown was cool, and the Shenji Camp used the terrible thing called "thunder" to scare the ancient Shu army to the point of urination, which gave them the opportunity to breathe and adapt.
I don’t know how many days the ancient Shu army will be able to recover. Everyone felt satisfied when they think of the scared the ancient Shu soldiers that night. They were even more impressed by their head coach and the future princess who were still far away in Ji'an County.
As Dashun soldiers expected, the ancient Shu army was really frightened and frightened in the battle that night, so that the soldiers retreated to Jueping City for several days, but they still did not recover.
General Bi Xiu of the ancient Shu returned to Jueping City and was seriously ill. He couldn't sleep even though he was sick, because as soon as he closed his eyes, he would habitually have the rumbling echo in his ears, which shocked him to sleep all night.
As a general of the ancient Shu, Bi Xiu has been highly valued by the king of ancient Shu for many years and has a good relationship with the eighth prince of Dashun. Even the two of them formulated the plan to attack Dashun to support the eighth prince to the throne, and then he reported to the king of ancient Shu and strongly persuaded the king until he agreed. It can be said that Bi Xiu and the eighth prince Xuan Tianmo were wearing pairs of pants. He firmly believed that as long as Xuan Tianmo took the position of Emperor Dashun, his position in the Bi family in ancient Shu would definitely be able to rise to a higher level, and with the support of Xuan Tianmo, the Bi family could also have a certain amount of power to develop on the other end of Dashun.
What a pity! They made the wrong plan. They only expected that things would be the most beneficial to their development direction, but they did not expect that the ninth prince sent by Dashun was so powerful.
Bi Xiu cursed Xuan Tianmo in his heart while he was sick. The strange thing about Xuan Tianmo did not tell him in advance that there was such a hidden weapon in Xuan Tianming's hand. He still couldn't figure out what that thing was. Later, some people said it was Tianlei, and some even said that Dashun's ninth prince was a god descending to earth, but he didn't believe it! Is there really a god in this world? But why didn't the gods come to him in ancient Shu?
But if it weren't for the gods, how could such things be explained? He had been fighting for half his life and had never seen such a terrible thing, which could actually blow up the walls of Shaping City. If it weren't for the first loud noise, the soldiers would have tried their best to pull him down, I'm afraid he would have buried his bones in Shaping City long ago?
Bi Xiu's illness improved on the fourth day. He immediately summoned all the generals to the main account to discuss military information. People analyzed that thing again, but it was fruitless. However, someone saw the form and usage of the thunder that day, and told Bi Xiu that he once again suggested: "Why don't we find a way to steal it!"
But how to steal? Bi Xiu also thought this method was good, so he stole at least one or two of them to study, so he began to think about the stealing plan in his mind.
But at the same time, someone said: "Apart from the thunder, there is also the hidden weapon they have always held in their hands. I looked back and saw that the hidden weapon was filled with fire when it emitted, which was very scary. No one survived the person who was hit and died immediately. It was really terrible."
Bi Xiu slapped the table, "Steal! Must steal!" He thought for a while, and then ordered: "Go to contact Deputy General Jiang from Biannan. Your Highness Eighth Highness is not in the southern border, so he must find a way to do this!"
Bi Xiu recovered her body, but her anger could not be eliminated for a while. After defending for so many years, Shaping City was attacked overnight, and even attacked him without even room for fight back. It was so cold that he could not hide this matter. The other end of Kyoto would soon receive the news. I don’t know how angry the king would hear this letter. His Bi family finally made a humiliating mark in the history of military achievements.
