Five kinds of medicine in another world

Chapter 176 Gu 9 talks about city defense, citywide mobilization

"I see!"

Xiao Yao suddenly felt as if a light had suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He said why is it so strange.

Normally, the ministers are not so active. Even if there is really an invasion by demons this time, it is estimated that only those truly patriotic ministers will speak out, and they will not work together to force the emperor to abdicate.

It turns out the problem lies here.

Xiao Yao, who had figured it out, couldn't help but sneer. He had overestimated those ministers.

"Hahaha, you'll get used to it. Those guys are just selfish bastards, but they are just ordinary people. If a man doesn't care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."

"But it's okay. It's because they are ordinary people that they are easier to control. Human nature has many weaknesses, so this is also a good thing."

Gu Shijiu's words made Xiao Yao nodded.

To be honest, after working with Gu Shijiu for nearly ten years, Xiao Yao has learned a lot. At least he knows that everything is not either beneficial or harmful, and everything has two sides.

Just like this time, these corrupt officials played a big role, forcing Emperor Yangtian to send troops in time to save the people.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao wanted to laugh.

At this time, Gu Shijiu was serious. As a saint, he naturally had excellent eyesight. He could see from afar that the demon army was divided into four parts in the camp, and he even estimated the number of demons.

The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.

Gu Shijiu sighed and shouted to the people behind him:

"Everyone listen to my orders!"

After hearing Gu Shijiu's words, everyone put down what they were doing at the same time, stood where they were, and looked at Gu Shijiu who was flying high in the sky.

"According to my observation, the demons will most likely launch an attack tomorrow, and may attack from all four walls at the same time. In order to defend against the demons, everyone, listen to my instructions now!"

Gu Nineteen paused and continued:

"The east city wall is guarded by the governor Gongsun Wen, who leads half of the demon-suppressing army and the Bodhi Temple!"

"The western city wall is guarded by Yuwen Nuo, Yuwen County Magistrate, who leads half of the Zhenxian Army, the remnants of the Hengdao Escort Agency, and the remnants of the Zhenmo County!"

"The southern city wall is guarded by Zhao Hongling, the Zhao family, and half of the demon-suppressing army!"

"The northern city wall is guarded by County Magistrate Long Yu'an, his own troops and half of the Zhenxian Army."

"All troops are sent to repair the city walls and strengthen the city defenses."

"Luo Yong, Zhao Tianran, Xiao Yao, Xiao Wuming and I are standing in the middle city watching the battle, ready to support other places at any time!"

After Gu Shijiu finished speaking, everyone responded.

"By the way, do you know how to replenish the city's defenses? In other words, do you know how to defend the city?"

Gu Shijiu suddenly thought of something and asked.

Yuwen Nuo replied:

"From a high position, we can attack them with falling rocks and bows and arrows. There are no low-level demons in the demon clan. They must be at least level three, so ordinary bows and arrows are useless. We can only attack them with falling rocks. Level three demons are unstoppable, and level four demons may also be killed."

After hearing Yuwen Nuo's words, Gu Shijiu showed an expression of "as expected" and said with a smile:

"Yuwen County Magistrate's words are wrong."

Gu Shijiu's words made Yu Wennuo curious, and he asked:

"May I ask for your opinion, Lord Gu."

Gu Nineteen said with a smile:

"To defend a city from a high position, there are many ways to do it. Falling rocks are just the basics. Rolling logs, hot oil, boiling water, gold juice, and even beams and bricks can be dismantled. The interior of the entire city can be dismantled, and the people of the entire city are the logistics. This is one of the ways to defend a city."

Yuwen Nuo was puzzled by what he heard. As a general who had been in battle for many years, he understood most of it in an instant, but he still didn't understand something. He asked in confusion:

"I understand most of it. The rolling log has a certain killing power, but the beams are not very effective. The beams have supported the house for many years, and the inside has long been soft and rotten. It is okay to hit ordinary people, but it is not easy to cause casualties when attacking demons above the third level. In addition, what is the gold juice?"

Gu Shijiu smiled and replied:

"The beams are flammable, and hot oil is very powerful, so they can be used together. In addition, gold juice is dung juice, the kind that has been cooked."

Gu Shijiu's words made everyone feel nauseous. What a vicious method. Not only physical attack, but also mental attack. Who can bear it?

However, the demons are the enemy, and being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. Needless to say, everyone understands this. The Virgin Mary usually does not survive more than three chapters in this era.

Gu Shijiu saw that everyone understood, and then said:

"Secondly, I think we should make use of so many monks. All of them can cooperate with the fire spirit when attacking. First use boiling water, then make all the oil in the city into boiling oil and pour it on the ground. Then use beams and rolling logs to attack, then use fire spirits to attack, and finally finish with rocks. This is the whole process."

"All steps must be taken slowly, one set at a time. We must strive to finish them all so that the demons will be afraid. The number of casualties is secondary. The main purpose is to hinder the demons' attack."

"I have received news that the entire dynasty is coming to support us. Emperor Yangtian has personally issued three decrees. The Yangtian Army, led by General Lu Chao, accompanied by Imperial Master Qiu Sheng and Prime Minister Qin Haoran, has already set out from the Imperial City. All counties and regions have sent troops to rush towards us."

"Except for Zhenmo County, our Hengdao Escort Agency has already dispatched troops from the other eleven counties. In addition, the two Supreme Saints of the Hengdao Escort Agency have already come out of retreat and will arrive soon."

"What we need to do now is to persevere. The city walls must be repaired and all the people in the city must be mobilized. There is strength in numbers, not to mention that there are also cultivators with good cultivation among the people. It is also good to not go to the battlefield and fight in the later stage. Tear down all the houses in the city, and build better ones for them after the demons retreat!"

Gu Shijiu spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner. Everyone understood Gu Shijiu's tactics and couldn't help but admire him.

The commanders of the four city walls mobilized all the people to demolish their own houses.

The people are extremely cooperative. If humans attack each other, they generally won't harm the people. Things like demolishing houses will definitely encounter great resistance.

But the enemy is the demons who feed on humans. Once the city is broken, no one will be left alive. In order to survive, these people will give everything they have. Everyone is mobilized in an instant.

The entire Demon-Suppressing County seemed to have been revitalized. Even children of a few years old were helping to move smaller supplies. The Demon-Suppressing County roared like a machine.

Gu Shijiu looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction in his eyes. He was not sure about the invasion of demons tomorrow, but now, he is!

"How confident are you that we can defend the city tomorrow, Nineteen?"

Xiao Yao asked softly.

"I have heard a saying before, the way to use troops is to surround them if they are ten times as many as you, attack them if they are five times as many as you, divide them if they are your enemy, fight them if they are your enemy's, flee if they are fewer than you, and avoid them if they are not as good as you."

"The demons have more than a hundred times more troops than us. I roughly calculated that there are at least 25 million demon troops. Even if they are divided into four, there will be 6 to 7 million each way. As for my confidence, I don't have it."

"All I can do is use my limited military strength to delay more time and kill more demons."

Gu Shijiu's words made Xiao Yao look worried.
