Chapter 1124 Arrived Just in Time
The smoke that accumulated for no reason suddenly made all the soldiers on the city wall nervous.
Although the first batch of soldiers defending the city were revived with a bag of medicine residue, they had been guarding for a whole day and night without sitting down or closing their eyes to rest. Their physical fatigue and overdraft were real, so they were all resting now.
Only Lao Yu was really worried, so he ran to the top of the city wall and joined the soldiers in defending the city.
He asked King Jin if he could tell the soldiers what had happened before, and King Jin nodded in agreement.
After all, it is a strange and weird thing. If you keep it secret, other people won't be on guard when it happens again, and something bad may happen again.
So the King of Jin allowed him to tell the soldiers who came from the camp about the matter.
Lao Yu felt that he had experienced it personally, so he still had to watch it here.
I thought this would never happen again, but unexpectedly, the smoke appeared again!
"That's it!"
Old Yu shouted loudly, running on the tower to tell everyone, "Quick, cover your mouth and nose with the prepared cloth, and use your shield to block it!"
Because of their previous experience, they have now made some preparations.
Although I don’t know whether these things will work, how can I know if I don’t try?
Old Yu immediately covered his mouth and nose with a cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed.
They raised their shields.
The shield was prepared for the battlefield, but I never thought that one day it would be used to defend against a strange cloud of smoke.
The soldiers' hearts were in their throats.
The smoke looked ordinary and gray, as if someone had burned a pile of hay before.
But there would be no smoke that would form a large ball and then float towards the city wall in a large ball, right?
"Did anyone see where this cloud of smoke first appeared?" asked Lao Yu.
All the soldiers shook their heads.
"Didn't see clearly!"
"When I discovered it, it was just a faint, thin mass, floating slowly towards me. But in just a few blinks of an eye, it suddenly became more numerous."
Everyone thinks so.
So they had no idea when the smoke appeared or where it came from.
While they were talking, the cloud of smoke grew thicker.
Now it looked like a large and thick mass was floating directly towards the city wall.
"This is more than what we have seen before! It's even bigger!" Old Yu's face changed.
They only felt something was wrong after the cloud of smoke came over and engulfed them, because although it came in a strange way, it didn't look so scary and weird visually at the time.
Otherwise they would have turned and run away.
But the ball in front of him was obviously much larger than the previous one.
It looks like there's something twisting and surging inside, rising like clouds and tumbling like tides, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Why does it look like a monster is about to appear?" a soldier blurted out.
All of them had already taken a few steps back, holding their shields.
This is a knee-jerk reaction.
Because the huge cloud of billowing smoke was floating over so hugely, bringing with it a strong psychological and visual pressure, they had to retreat.
"Retreat, retreat from the tower!"
The young general shouted loudly.
At first, he wanted to have someone stay here to continue guarding and see what was going on.
But now it seems that the situation is not right.
Then they thought that there were no civilians in the city, so it would be meaningless for them to defend it.
They couldn't defend themselves against such smoke.
If you can't fall down, retreat quickly and take shelter in the house to see if the city walls and house walls can block the smoke.
"Go back!"
Following his order, the soldiers retreated quickly.
After getting down from the city wall, they quickly entered a nearby house and closed the doors and windows.
It was quiet outside.
"Did it float in?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
But their doors and windows were closed and I couldn't see anything.
The old man ran last.
After getting down from the city wall, everyone else ran into the nearby shops, but Lao Yu stopped after running for a while.
He has to watch.
He had to see what would happen to the smoke after everyone hid, otherwise he wouldn't know how to report to the prince and the general when they came back.
Besides, someone has to see it more clearly.
Thinking of this, Old Yu ran to the door of a shop.
There is a small sedan chair here that the shop uses to attract customers.
That’s right, this is a sedan chair shop.
After entering the city, if you want to hire a sedan chair, you can see it at a glance. However, this is a closed city, and the sedan chairs used are simple and plain, only for rental, not exquisite and luxurious.
The sedan chair parked at the door can only accommodate one person.
It's been exposed to the wind and sun and is very old.
The windows of the sedan are latticed, with curtains hung inside.
The curtains of the sedan chair were thick, but also a bit worn.
After Lao Yu hid in the sedan chair, he lifted the curtain a little bit and looked towards the city wall.
At first I saw nothing.
Quietly.
Old Yu was just wondering if the smoke was too heavy this time to float up the tall city wall and be blocked outside the city wall. Then he saw a fog covering the city wall.
His pupils shrank.
Damn it!
The city wall can’t stop it.
The mist floated up and enveloped us!
Moreover, looking at it this way, it is actually much more and thicker than when I looked at it from the city wall just now!
Looking up from here, the fog felt like an overwhelming tidal wave pressing down on the city walls.
Like a building about to collapse.
People seem extremely insignificant in such a situation.
Old Yu watched as a large cloud of fog covered the city wall, then surged down like a tide and continued to advance towards the city.
His palms suddenly began to sweat.
It comes, it comes, it comes again.
Just then, a soldier ran out from the side for some unknown reason.
When Old Yu saw this, he immediately shouted, "Go back! Go inside!"
"Did you hear that? Go back to the house!"
Old Yu yelled, and the soldier turned his head and looked over here, looking anxious, "My jade pendant fell off!"
WTF?
"That's what my wife gave me, I have to go get it back!" the soldier shouted again.
"You bastard!!!" Old Yu saw that the mist was approaching the soldier, and his face turned red with anxiety, "I'll pick it up later!!!"
What are you picking up now?
"It's just fog!"
The soldier shouted, then ignored him and rushed into the fog.
"Oh my god!" Old Yu jumped up and rushed out with his shield raised. "Are you trying to kill someone?"
He had to go and pull that kid back.
When Old Yu rushed out, Lu Zhaoling's carriage just drove in from the other side of the city gate.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Lu Zhaoling, who was originally asleep, opened his eyes immediately.
