Chapter 270
"General Li, can we not provoke the rebels on the opposite side? If they get ruthless..." Behind Li Hao, the old and frail Zuo Xiang advised with a tangled face.
Zuo Xiang has aged very fast these days, and there is not a single black thread in his silver hair.
The reason is that Li Hao is too good at making trouble. He always provokes the rebels outside, which results in the rebels' fierce attack regardless of casualties.
Although each attack failed, a large number of corpses were left.
However, the endless attacks of the rebels in recent days and the high-intensity combat missions have caused great losses to the soldiers of the Guards, and they are exhausted. Some of them can't even lift their swords.
"Zuo Xiang, you are really going backwards! The battle between us and the rebels cannot stop like this. Anyway, we will have a decisive battle sooner or later. We now have the advantage of a solid city wall to consume their manpower. Isn't this a wrong approach?" Li Hao glanced at Zuo Xiang and asked back.
"Li Hao, the left prime minister is right. The continuous fighting these days has made the soldiers defending the city miserable. There are many rebels outside the city. They can use the wheel tactics and come one team after another. This can continuously consume our manpower."
"We only have so many soldiers defending the city. If this continues, we may collapse directly inside without the rebels breaking through the city." Huang Rong has followed Guo Jing to defend Xiangyang for so many years, and she is quite experienced in marching, fighting and defending the city.
"You mean that our soldiers defending the city are very tired now, right?" Li Hao looked at Huang Rong in surprise. He didn't expect this vixen sister to stand on the side of the left prime minister and speak for others.
"Yes, General. Most of our soldiers are injured. The continuous fighting these days has caused them to be exhausted. The rebels often send people to harass us at night, so they have to fight during the day and cannot rest well at night, so that their spirits are a little broken."
"If it weren't for the method of remembering the bitterness and thinking of the sweetness that the general taught me, and someone brainwashed them every day, I guess our team would have been scattered long ago." Murong Fu, who was standing silently beside, couldn't help but speak up. Do you think everyone is like you, a monster who knows fatigue?
"So this is what you are worried about!" Li Hao looked at their bitter faces and couldn't help but speak up.
"General, the soldiers' physical strength is huge. If they are not replenished and recovered in time, there will be big problems, so you should save some energy and don't provoke them again."
Fatty Cheng saw that everyone had put forward opinions, and if he didn't speak up, he might be ignored by the general. In order to increase his exposure, he couldn't help but jump out and express his thoughts.
"The matter of restoring everyone's strength is easy to solve. You should immediately arrange for people to set up a big pot on the city wall to boil water. I have a use for it." Li Hao smiled and ordered directly.
"What do you want to do?" Huang Rong asked with a puzzled look.
"The mountain people have their own clever ideas. Don't ask now. You will know later. And ask someone to clean the pot for me, otherwise I think they will regret it." Li Hao touched his smooth chin and said with a smile.
As the saying goes, the superiors say a word, and the people below are exhausted to death. The ancients are true.
As soon as Li Hao's order was given, the soldiers on the city wall could only drag their tired bodies to wash the pots and set the fire.
However, there were also some lazy soldiers who just wiped the pots and started to make fire and boil water.
There were big pots everywhere on the city wall, boiling water, which made the rebels under the city scalp numb.
You know, the big pots were not boiling water before, but golden juice.
Gold juice is not what it means literally. The real gold juice is a bit disgusting. To put it bluntly, this thing is actually the feces and urine of humans and livestock. Boil it in a pot and pour it on the enemy when they rush up.
Because the feces and urine contain a large number of parasites, people who are scalded by this thing will be very painful, and as long as the wound is inflamed, the person is basically hopeless.
"General, the water is ready. Do you want to pour it directly?" After a while, Murong Fu ran over to report.
At this time, Murong Fu was quite resentful of his cousin. He finally encountered a gap when the rebels did not attack, but he actually asked others to boil water.
Now there is no shadow of a rebel under the city wall. Boiling so much water is simply a waste of time.It is a waste of manpower, material resources and resources for defending the city.
"Let's go together." Li Hao waved his hand, directly stretched out his hand to hug Huang Rong, and led a large group of people including Zuo Xiang to the top of the city wall.
"General Murong, Zuo Xiang, all of you come here." After arriving on the top of the city wall, Li Hao directly called Murong Fu and Zuo Xiang and others.
"General, I wonder what you want to do." Murong Fu and others bowed to Li Hao.
The queen once ordered that during the time when the rebels attacked the city, Li Hao would handle all affairs on his behalf.
Even if everyone had complaints about him, they could only bury the complaints in their hearts and not speak them out, lest he make trouble and chop off their heads directly.
"Take these jade bottles, and then walk forward in the east and west directions. Put a small pill in each pot, and then tell these soldiers to drink the boiling water in the iron pot."
"Remember, make sure everyone drinks some. This pill is very precious, and it has a miraculous effect on replenishing physical strength and recovering from injuries." Li Hao took a cloth bag of small jade bottles for each of them, and then said with a solemn oath.
"If there are not enough, you can come back to me, I have a lot of this stuff." Li Hao looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with a look of super richness on his face.
"If I'm not mistaken, the jade bottle contains Xiao Huan Dan, right?" After the figures of Zuo Xiang and Murong Fu disappeared on the city wall, Huang Rong couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, it's Xiao Huan Dan. This thing is useless to us, but it should be a good thing for these ordinary soldiers!" Li Hao wiped his nose and said.
He said this not because he wanted to show off, but because the system space really couldn't hold this thing anymore.
As the lowest level reward, whenever the system prompts that the reward is this, the quantity is usually *999. After so many tasks, you can imagine the total quantity of this reward.
