The rest of the food could only feed the more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians in the castle for three days, and this conclusion shrouded Manhard's heart with a rich haze, and the life and death of more than 40,000 people weighed on him alone, and the situation was too unfavorable.

Although the number of the Western Qin army is not large, almost all of them are cavalry, these cavalry are scattered in all directions to besiege Bam Castle, every time the castle sends people to break through to move rescue troops, but every time they are intercepted and killed by the Western Qin cavalry outside the castle, and it is intercepted and killed in front of all the soldiers of the Great Food Army on the city wall, Manhard and the Great Food Army and civilians have even despaired of sending people to break through and move rescue troops.

Manhard sat on the top of the highest fortress in the castle and stared blankly at the soldiers and civilians who were cleaning up and treating the wounded below, and it took a long time before he had to face the reality, he regained his senses, and calculated in his heart that the remaining food could be used for the soldiers and civilians for three days through rationing, and after the food was eaten up, he could drink water for three days, so that it could last six days, and he had to find a way to repel the Western Qin army or move in to rescue the soldiers within these six days.

Manhard looked at the dense military and civilians in the castle, he thought about how to stimulate the hatred of these local residents, so that they can also give full play to their combat effectiveness, so that they can get up to 10,000 combat power, but it is very difficult for these local residents to take up arms and kill the enemy like him and his soldiers, after all, these locals are not Arabs, they are local Persians, although the Persian Empire has been destroyed for more than a hundred years, but there are still many local Persians who miss their homeland, They had never considered themselves and their families Arabs, so they had no sense of belonging to the Great Food Country, and how to get these local Persians to take up arms to resist the attack of the Western Qin army with the Great Food Army was a problem that Manhad needed to consider at the moment.

At this moment, there were many exclamations suddenly heard from inside the castle, and Manhard was startled, and he involuntarily stood up: "Is something happening again?" Why did I repeatedly make mistakes and lose control as soon as I played against the Western Qin Army? ”

Before he had time to think about it, Manhard immediately rushed to the location of the accident with his guards, and on the way, a soldier ran over and reported: "Your Excellency, something is wrong!" After praying just now, some of the soldiers and locals began to eat and eat, but I didn't expect that after these eating, some of the soldiers and locals immediately couldn't afford it, foaming at the mouth, and their faces were black, and the adjutant general suspected that it was poisoned, so he sent a villain to report to you immediately, you go and see! ”

A bad premonition rose in Manhard's heart, and his face was solemn, and he immediately said, "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”

The group soon came to the location of the accident, only to see many people lying on the ground, and they couldn't count how many there were, all of them were foaming at the mouth, their faces were black, and their bodies were constantly twitching, and there were many people next to them who were using various methods to rescue, but there was no effect.

When Adjutant Schneider saw Manhard coming, he immediately came over and said: "Your Excellency, the situation is very bad, I have made a preliminary estimate, there are nearly 2,000 people in this situation one after another, I suspect that they are poisoned, you can see that their symptoms are basically signs of poisoning!" We don't know exactly why, but I've already sent someone to find the doctor! ”

Manhard frowned and looked at the soldiers and civilians lying on the ground convulsively, twitching, foaming at the mouth, and his face was black, and he immediately said, "Send someone to the medical officer, let them come quickly!" ”

"Yes! General"

Several of the medical officers soon arrived, and Manhard did not want them to salute, but before they could speak, he immediately said, "Look what the hell is going on with these people!" ”

"Yes!"

After a short examination, the medical officers found that the symptoms of these people were basically the same, and there were many of them, and they quickly came to a preliminary conclusion, and one of the medical officers walked quickly to Manha'e and said: "Your Excellency, after preliminary examination, we believe that this is a large-scale food poisoning incident, and that someone has put a variety of deadly drugs in the food or in the water in which the food is made!" ”

Manhard immediately asked, "What kind of drugs?" Can you detoxify them right away? ”

The medical officer shook his head and said: "General, I have been a medical officer for more than 30 years, and I have never seen these poisonous drugs in our Great Food Country, but I have seen a Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty from the East before, and I have discussed the problem of medical drugs with him, and I heard that Taoist priest said that some drugs that are currently popular in the Tang Dynasty can cause death, and he mentioned that the effects of several toxic drugs are very similar to the symptoms of these people, one of which is snake liquid, the second is red letter stone, and the third is broken intestine grass!" At present, the drugs that can cause death can be divided into three categories, namely plants, animals and minerals, and the drugs in these people's bodies are accounted for, if you want to save them, you can only find an oriental doctor who is proficient in the medicinal properties of these drugs to treat, and the villains really have no way. If not treated in time, these people will soon die one after another! ”

Manhard was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and immediately said, "Go find someone, ask in the castle, and find someone who can heal them!" ”

"Yes, the last general will send someone to inquire immediately!"

The soldiers of the Great Food Army shouted everywhere in the castle whether anyone knew how to detoxify, and gathered all those who knew how to heal.

At this time, a centurion came over and whispered a few words to the lieutenant, the lieutenant's face instantly turned extremely pale, and Manhard saw the abnormality and immediately asked, "Schneider, what happened?" ”

Schneider's mouth was bitter, and he said with difficulty: "General, we are in big trouble, just now someone went to drink water, and soon collapsed, exactly the same symptoms as these people, that is to say, someone put medicine in our qanats, my soldiers checked all the three qanats in the castle, and found that all three qanats were put into medicine, and from now on, we are cut off from water and food!" Although the water of the qanats is flowing, when their toxicity dissipates, we are afraid that we will die of thirst and starvation! ”

When Manhard heard this, his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground, and the big food generals around him were shocked: "General??????."

?????? Bam Castle, the camp of the Western Qin army.

A Western Qin soldier who was standing on the arrow tower of the walled wall to observe the situation in the castle saw a ribbon hanging on one of the fortresses, and immediately ran down the wall, came to a big tent in the camp and reported to Wang Can: "General, our people have succeeded, I see that a yellow ribbon is hung on the top of the seventh fortress!" ”

"Oh? Take me to see it! Wang Can said and immediately got up and walked out of the tent.

When the two of them came to the humble place, the soldier pointed to one of the forts and said, "Look, general, there is a yellow ribbon hanging from that fort, and this is one of the codes for our communication with Hosasa, if they succeed in drugging the well in the castle, tie the ribbon to the seventh fort!" ”

Wang Can looked at it, immediately turned around and walked down the arrow tower to the big tent of the Chinese army, stood outside the door and clasped his fists and shouted: "Weichen Wang Can asks to see the king!" ”

"Come in!" Zhao Ziliang's voice came from inside.

Wang Can walked into the big tent and hugged his fist to Zhao Ziliang, who was dealing with the chapter, and said: "King, our meticulous work has been successful, they have put lethal medicine in the three wells in the castle, and from now on, the big cannibal has been cut off from water and food!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang raised his head, "Are you sure!" ”

"Yes, Wechen has already observed, the castle is even more chaotic, many people have died, and many people are about to die, the big cannibal has already broken through the bitter gall and is beginning to despair!"

Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed and immediately said: "Well done!" Come and convene the generals and officials to discuss the matter! ”

The generals and officials in the army were notified and quickly rushed over, Zhao Ziliang said to everyone: "Everyone, there are a total of three karez wells in Bam Castle, but now all of them have been drugged by our meticulous work, that is to say, from now on the castle will begin to run out of food and water, and they will start to die on a large scale if they can't last three days. We already know their situation, and we have ordered the Great Eclipse General Manhard to lead all the soldiers and civilians in Bam Castle to surrender, and this king can promise to ensure their personal safety, if they do not surrender, then wait for starvation and thirst to death! ”

"Yes!" Du Fu agreed, immediately walked to the side and began to splash ink, and after a while, he wrote a letter of persuasion with gorgeous rhetoric but extremely threatening persecution.

Zhao Ziliang felt more satisfied after listening to Du Fu's letter of persuasion, looked at the other generals and officials and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Liu Shan stood up and arched his hand: "King, can this persuasion book really persuade the big cannibals in the castle?" Weichen has been in charge of Honglu Temple for many years, and he also understands the temperament of the big cannibals, and the big cannibals are all as fierce as fire, and they are very strong, but I am afraid that all of them would rather starve to death and die of thirst than want to surrender! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The Great Food Country is not only the Great Cannibals, but also the Persians and other races, they are not monolithic, so let's translate this persuasion book into the Great Food Language, and then copy hundreds of copies and shoot them into the castle with bows and arrows, and then we will send people to shout to the castle with the Great Food Words on the walled wall, persuading them to go out of the city and surrender!" Du Fu, this matter is up to you, complete it as soon as possible! ”

Du Fu agreed: "Yes, king!" ”

Under the auspices of Du Fu, 300 copies of the persuasion written in Arabic took a morning to transcribe and complete with the efforts of more than a dozen scribes, Du Fu stopped the people from shooting bows and arrows into the castle, and the castle was soon full of persuasion letters, and there were people on the wall of the Xiqin camp who kept shouting in a loud voice to persuade the big cannibals in the castle to go out of the city and surrender.
