Countless silver balls rained down, catching the Dongluo soldiers off guard. Very quickly, they began to scream miserably as they hurriedly raised their shields to block, not caring about their feet one after another, and the scene quickly became chaotic.
What are those silver beads?
On the other side of the Eastern Barbarian, Helian Cheng sneered and raised the command flag high up, "Release the arrows! Get ready to beat the crap out of Dongluo! "
"Yes sir!" After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Eastern Barbarian immediately got up, and brought the archers to the front, pulling their bows to receive the arrows, which quickly rained down upon the people of the Dongluo camp!
Qi Yu panicked!
Damn it, Feng Qingmo did not attack his Eastern Barbarian last night. Today, Helian Cheng was like a mad dog who repaid his debts with grievances, he was probably the only one who could do this kind of thing! He really had no moral integrity at all!
What should he do? Now, a portion of the soldiers from the Dongluo had already retreated back to the city, while the remaining portion hurriedly dodged the silver pearls that had fallen from the sky. Now, they were frantically using their shields to block the arrows, and were unable to stop the rain of arrows from falling on top of their heads and bodies.
Feng Qingmo had completely lost his sense of direction, he was about to order everyone to retreat, but he was already too busy to care, Mou Qing pulled his cape back to protect Feng Qingmo, "Crown Prince, let's return to the city first!"
Feng Qingmo frowned: "No, everyone hasn't left yet, how can I leave by myself?"
From far away, Qi Yu covered her nose and spurred her horse out of the city, she shouted: "Everyone quickly hold your breath, minimize the air intake, Crown Prince, all of the water on top of your head is mercury, everyone will be poisoned, quickly think of a way to evacuate!"
After Mou Qing heard this, he hurriedly shouted to everyone present, "Everyone, be careful! Hold your breath, and take in as little air as possible. A portion of you will stay behind with me, while the rest of you follow me back to the city in an orderly manner! "
Immediately, a group of people stayed behind to cut off the rear while the rest of the people quickly retreated. Everyone quickly covered their noses and mouths, but it was already too late. The feeling of dizziness assaulted everyone, causing them to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
Fortunately, all the balls had exploded, and the silver raindrops had evaporated. Under Feng Qingmo's command, most of the soldiers had already successfully returned to the city. Only a few warriors left behind, under Mou Qing's lead, stubbornly resisted the dense rain of arrows.
Feng Qingmo clenched his teeth: "Mou Qing, retreat while blocking!"
Mou Qing covered his nose and mouth as he shouted anxiously, "There are subordinates here, quickly leave, Crown Prince! Princess, quickly leave! "
Although Feng Qingmo wanted to tell Mou Qing to retreat, under the attacks of the rain of arrows, how could they retreat?
Qi Yu watched anxiously and cried out anxiously: "Mou Qing, the people from Eastern Barbarian are afraid that the air here is poisonous, so they don't dare to chase us. You guys retreat one step at a time, and retreat another step, quickly!"
Mou Qing said loudly, "Princess, this place is dangerous. Go back with the crown prince as soon as possible! "You still have to think of a way to heal the soldiers!"
That's right! She still had to go back and think of a way to treat everyone!
Qi Yu was not in a rush. On one side, there was a small portion of the soldiers who were unable to leave, and on the other side, there were Feng Qingmo and Qi Yu who could not bear to abandon them. Just as she was panicking, she suddenly heard the sound of hooves coming from a distance away. A group of war horses donned in spikes were galloping madly in the direction of Eastern Barbarian!
Qi Yu was surprised and happy, Chu Yixuan had come to help!
Haha, with these horses here, Mou Qing and the rest can escape in time!
Qi Yu waved her hands towards Mou Qing and the others: "Mou Qing, retreat quickly!"
Some of the soldiers who were not affected by the mercury rain ran out and supported Mou Qing and the others back. The armoured war horse charged straight into the Eastern Barbarian Army, and very quickly, the Eastern Barbarian camp was broken into pieces, the formation of arrows following it. Qi Yu relaxed and said to Feng Qingmo: "Quickly return to the city. Everyone has been poisoned, we need to cure them immediately!"
— —
Within the Kang City, the injured soldiers had already been carried back to the camp one after another. They were lying on the ground side by side, moaning and groaning.
A few military doctors had also come, but they were dumbfounded by the sight of the mercury poisoning. They were at a loss as to what to do. They usually only treated wounds such as wounds caused by sabers or guns. How could they have encountered a situation like the one where they were poisoned by mercury?
Qi Yu immediately went forward and quickly checked on a few soldiers, asking them about their injuries. Accompanied by her, Feng Qingmo asked softly: "How is it? Are you sure it's mercury poisoning? "
"Yes, they are all symptoms of mercury poisoning!" Qi Yu nodded her head, "Mercury poisoning is a symptom of poisoning that occurs when the body is injected through the respiratory tract. The infected person will have a headache, dizziness, powerless fingers, and a low temperature."
"How can I cure the poison?"
"Eat egg white!" Or drink milk, protein can be exposed to heavy metals can occur salting out, detoxification, and then after the warm water wash stomach, there won't be a big problem! "
had already heard the news and rushed over to wipe the sweat off his forehead, "Crown Prince, Princess Qi … This subject has come late, may I know where this subject can serve? "
"Lord Xiao, you came at the right time!" Feng Qingmo immediately instructed, "Right now, the poisoned soldiers need eggs and milk to cure the poison …"
Qi Yu said from the side, "There might not be any milk, so bring all of the eggs of the entire city here as fast as possible. Prepare some warm salt water, the faster the better!"
"Yes, your servant will go now!" Xiao Ran immediately turned around.
Feng Qingmo called out to stop him, "If you need to borrow an egg from the citizens of the city, you must keep a clear record of the situation and repay everyone double the debt. You must be amiable and not offend any of the citizens."
"Yes, this official will remember!"
Qi Yu turned around and looked at the guard beside Feng Qingmo who was at a loss of what to do, "Does the Fire Head Camp have eggs? If there are any, hurry up and get them to send it over for detoxification! "
Feng Qingmo nodded: "We will follow Princess Qi's instructions."
The guard immediately replied and left. Very soon, the Fire Head Battalion brought a few baskets of eggs over, Qi Yu clapped her hands and said loudly: "The brothers who were not injured, come over here, line up, and come out with a dozen or so swift and nimble movements, and the military doctors will help me out; The rest, divide the injured brothers according to their condition, and bring them over here to treat the poison first. Also, I will have to trouble the brothers of the Fire Head Battalion to heat up some warm salt water as soon as possible. After washing their stomachs later, their lives are precious.
Under Qi Yu's instructions, more than a dozen nimble soldiers formed a small team. Several military doctors naturally also quickly joined in, and the rest of them divided the wounded according to the severity of the injury. Qi Yu personally demonstrated it, and everyone began to use egg white to detoxify the wounded. The Fire Head Battalion also began to burn salt water as a matter of urgency.
Feng Qingmo stood at the side and watched Qi Yu silently. She was like a busy little butterfly walking between the injured.
A sense of gratitude surged into Feng Qingmo's heart.
This little girl had really grown up!
Along the way, seeing her walk over, it was also the first time she had seen her demeanor as a general. Not only did she have a wide range of knowledge, but she was also able to judge the situation based on experience.
As for Xiao Ran, he also brought the eggs that he needed over as soon as possible. Pots after baskets, Qi Yu treated each and every one of them like butterflies piercing through flowers. Fortunately, half of the soldiers had already returned to the city. But this thousand plus people was not a small number! Qi Yu was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back!
Finally, the procedure for the detoxification of the egg white was completed, and the Fire Head Battalion soldiers brought over the warm brine. After Qi Yu taught the military doctors how to wash the stomachs of the wounded, she stood up.
Turning her head to look at Feng Qingmo who was seated not too far away, Qi Yu grabbed two eggs and walked towards him.
"What for?" He looked warily at the egg in her hand.
"I forgot to detoxify you."
"I'm not poisoned."
"No?" Are you sure you don't feel dizziness, headache, or weakness in your fingers after being drenched in mercury? "
"Ugh …" Feng Qingmo silently took the egg, "Give it to me, I'll do it myself."
"As long as the egg is white." "No," she said. Then, he sat down beside Feng Qingmo tiredly, "Helian Cheng is so cunning! I never thought that he would use mercury to attack us all. This fellow is so bad! "
"Yes. This guy really doesn't know the rules. " Feng Qingmo was also somewhat helpless.
"After he sprinkled the mercury rain, in order to maximize its effectiveness, he even used arrows to attack you so that you wouldn't be able to defend against it. This way, you won't be able to avoid the mercury rain!" "Could it be that this is his true combat ability?"
Feng Qingmo was silent. He drank two Chicken Eggs and looked at Qi Yu. "And then?"
Then, Qi Yu scooped out a bowl of warm salt water for him, "Drink more, until you finish puking."
Feng Qingmo did as he was told.
At this moment, vomiting sounds could be heard one after another.
Looking at others vomiting was also a way to make them vomit. As a result, the big guys collectively washed their stomachs.
The camp was quiet in the afternoon.
The injured soldiers had all quietly fallen asleep. Qi Yu looked around and when she didn't find anything abnormal, she heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, she came to Mou Qing's side. Mou Qing wanted to sit up, but Qi Yu waved her hand.
After sitting down beside Mou Qing, she looked at Mou Qing and smiled: "You really are a good subordinate. He's also a brave general. "
Mou Qing's face flushed red: "Wangfei is too kind!"
"I won't praise anyone." Qi Yu laughed, and patted his shoulder, "Rest well."
"Yes, Princess."
Lifting his head, Feng Qingmo was standing not far away as he smiled at her.
Qi Yu stood up and walked in front of Feng Qingmo: "You're still alive and lively, aren't you going to rest?"
"Don't you want to go up to the tower?" The corner of Feng Qingmo's mouth curled into an ambiguous smile.
"Ugh …" Could it be that Feng Qingmo suspected the origins of the group of horses?
Qi Yu silently followed beside Feng Qingmo. Feng Qingmo asked her: "When you were watching the battle on the city gate tower, how did you determine that your Eastern Barbarian was made out of mercury?"
"When I saw the color of mercury, an idea popped into my mind. But I never thought that they would actually use mercury as a weapon. Helian Cheng is truly cunning. "
"Do you even use mercury in battles there?"
"No, we have guns, cannons, and, even more powerful, atomic bombs."
"Ugh …" Gun and cannon. What the hell was an atomic bomb?
Feng Qingmo cleared his throat, "He must be very powerful."
"Yes, very powerful. "In the future, they will be even more powerful. No one will have to fight in a war anymore. There are even some advanced weapons that can easily destroy a city without leaving even a blade of grass."
"Is that so?" Feng Qingmo sighed, "It is truly unimaginable! — But, you are also very powerful. Today's performance was very good, and surprised me. "
Qi Yu raised her chin proudly. "I am born a professional military doctor."
Even though he hadn't graduated from the military academy yet.
Feng Qingmo nodded his head: "It's all thanks to you today, Little Yu."
Qi Yu recalled the miserable state in which everyone was poisoned and felt extremely guilty. "No, this is all my fault."
"Why?" Feng Qingmo was suspicious.
"I knew that Helian Cheng wanted to use the Silver Flower Array, but I only thought of fire. I didn't think that Helian Cheng would use mercury. If I had thought of this sooner, I might have been able to avoid it. "
"How can I blame you? No one would have thought that he would use mercury." Feng Qingmo patted her shoulder, "You did a great deed, so you don't have to feel guilty about it."
Qi Yu heaved a long sigh of relief, "Mmm."
Standing on top of the city gate tower, looking at the chaotic battlefield, Feng Qingmo suddenly asked: "Do you know where the horses in sharp armor came from?"
