Xia Feng blew across Qin Lang's face.
Yanguan is as quiet as water, as if falling into a deep sleep.
He turned his head and saw many pairs of eyes in the dark night, all bright and energetic.
This night, no one can sleep.
Although Yanguan is at the northern end of Lingnan, it is still hot at this time. Even at night, it is still in the mountains. The narrow pass actually has the effect of gathering wind, but it is still unbearably hot for everyone from the northern part of the Central Plains.
Of course, besides the humidity and heat, the most annoying thing here is the mosquitoes.
Especially the mosquitoes with flowery legs, they are surprisingly big, one is a big bag, with a little bit of skin exposed, those damned mosquitoes can bite you in two big bags and **** a big bag of your blood.
Snapped.
Qin Lang slapped his face, killing a damned mosquito.
He even missed the mosquitoes in Chang'an. Mosquitoes in Chang'an don't seem to bite the face, they are particular about it. But the mosquitoes in Lingnan are not particular at all, they penetrate everywhere.
Qin Lang took out a small porcelain bottle from his body, unscrewed it, poured some toilet water on his hands, then wiped it on his neck, wrists, etc., and even his face at the end.
Finally, he sprinkled some on the brocade bag containing amulets given by Chang Le on his waist.
"Give me some too." Ah Huang moved to the side.
"and yours?"
"It's already used up." Ah Huang snatched the toilet water and quickly wiped it up, saying, "This **** place, I thought the hot weather was enough to be annoying, but I didn't expect that these mosquitoes are even more annoying."
Mosquitoes will not only bite a large bag, but what is even more frightening is that they can also infect malaria. People from the north seem to have no resistance to this kind of thing.
Although Qin Lang had already made preparations, purchased a lot of powders and liquids for repelling mosquitoes and feet, and even brought almost all the toilet water that he had just mass-produced, but it was still not enough.
In addition to mosquitoes, there are many snakes and insects in this place.
Before dark, Ah Huang and the others sat there to eat in the shade, and a big snake swam up to them. A guy pressed his hand on the ground, just in time to press something cold and soft, and almost lost his soul.
When I saw the big snake that was much thicker than my arm, I almost fainted.
Ah Huang also has pores all over his body standing up.
But in the end, the snake didn't have a good time. Ah Huang cut off its head with a knife, and he even swallowed the snake gall on the spot.
The thick snake body actually stewed a big pot of snake soup, making up for everyone's fright.
Really fragrant.
It was originally planned to be able to use the mosquito repellent and insect repellent in Wu'an Prefecture, but now it is not enough.
"The wildlings are coming, put on your armor!"
Qin Lang ordered.
Ah Huang was a little helpless, in this horrible weather, if it wasn’t for the mosquito bites, he would have wanted to run naked, and hanging a gauze on his body would make people sweat profusely, but now he still has to put on an iron armor and line it with cowhide, which is simply killing people.
"Be careful, don't underestimate the enemy."
Although everyone has seen the weapons of the mountain barbarians, the knives, axes, spears, bows and arrows are very backward, and even many arrows are made of animal bones or even stones, but without armor, they still have lethality. What's more, many barbarian archers will smear various herbs or snake venom on their arrows, so they have to guard against them.
Ah Huang returned the little toilet water to Qin Lang.
"Does Saburo regret wanting Wu'an Prefecture?"
Qin Lang smiled.
Compared to Ah Huang Qinyong and these people's ignorance about Lingnan, in fact, Qin Lang was already mentally prepared. But to be honest, although he has traveled to Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and other places in later generations, after all, it is travel, not to survive, so he has not seen those horrible poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Sunscreen, visor, air conditioning, etc.
His more impression of those places is actually the beautiful beaches, blue waters, delicious seafood, and the beautiful girls.
But this time it's different.
It takes only a few hours to go on a trip and take a plane thousands of miles away. After breakfast, board the plane, drink a drink and read a book on the plane, and you will arrive. You haven’t digested breakfast yet.
Although it is not walking now, but the car and horse are bumpy, and the water and land transfers are non-stop. The most terrifying thing is that you are dizzy during the day, and you can’t sleep at night because of the heat. , Now we still have to fight.
It's a deadly hot day, and you have to put on a deadly armor.
These are all due to the wildlings.
Savage touched it.
Standing on the city wall, Qin Lang could clearly hear the sound of small footsteps, faintly shadowy in the dark night.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Sanlang, there are many mosquitoes here, you go down and have a rest first, and we will deal with these miscellaneous things." Lao Huang drew out his long blade.
"Are you still afraid that the savages will kill the city?"
Qin Lang patted the iron armor on himself.
Although it was sweltering to death, this armor was Shangfang armor made by Yujiafang and bestowed by the emperor himself.
One after another, Qin Lang's tooth soldiers and pro-army soldiers had already put on their armor and raised their longbows.
Although the humidity here in the south of the Five Ridges has affected bows and crossbows, in terms of everyone's archery skills, this effect is actually not that great.
It's not a rainy day.
"These sent to death!"
Ah Huang no longer persuaded.
At the other end, Dugu Yanyun was the first to shoot Ming Di in his hand.
The sound of sharp arrows was extremely clear in the silent night sky.
The savage walking in the front carrying the bamboo ladder was shot and killed one by one arrow.
On the five-meter-high city wall, the arrows were not densely packed, and a dozen scattered arrows went out, but these were all arrows from sharpshooters, and every arrow that went out would kill one person.
For these sharpshooters, within fifty steps, even at night, they can still hit the target.
The savages in front of the city wall roared and charged.
The sneak attack failed, and the sound of the horn also represented the start of a feint attack. The last hope was handed over to the teams on both sides of the mountain.
The barbarians began to light torches, and even set up a fire pile of wood under the city to illuminate a section of the city wall that was not wide. But the city wall was still pitch black, Qin Lang and the others didn't need to light a fire at all, they calmly watched the savages roaring, angry, and charging forward.
More and more archers joined the shooting queue.
No need to projectile, just aim and ejaculate.
The savages are actually not good at siege. Even if there is only such a narrow city wall, the city wall of nearly two feet is still difficult for them to cross.
Just relying on those bamboo ladders is useless at all.
Free Fire.
There is no need to direct.
The savages also began to shoot at the city wall, but their bows and crossbows were far inferior to those of the Qin family, let alone attacking from their backs. The Qin family warriors were protected by the city wall and armor, and they were condescending. Coupled with the protection of the night, those arrows were against them. Not really a threat.
One after another, the savages fell to the city.
Soon, piles of corpses were piled up, and some wounded screamed and wailed under the city.
Qin Lang was wearing armor and stood on the city wall watching the battle, never saying a word. He didn't need to command at this level of fighting, and he never raised his bow or sword.
The savages are just like coming to die.
There is a strong smell of blood in the air.
Continuing to fight like this is just adding fuel to death.
"My lord, there seems to be thieves on the mountains on both sides." Feng Shan came over and said.
Qin Lang looked at the pitch-black mountain walls on both sides in the dark night, such steep cliffs made it difficult to stand on, and there was no road. If there is no one to guard against, it is of course possible to climb down from the bottom with a rope, which is the same as the spider-man who paints the outer wall or cleans the glass.
But the question is, will Qin Lang be unprepared?
Randomly arrange two teams of archers, and those savages who think too much will come to die.
"Be careful!"
Fighting all night until dawn.
morning.
It's raining.
High wind and heavy rain.
The hot and **** night was washed away.
Under the rain covering the sky, the fighting stopped.
The city gate is upstairs.
Qin Lang had already removed his armor and put on a cool silk shirt. Looking at the front of the pass, he could no longer see the savages.
The savages struggled all night, and launched three attacks on Yanguan again and again, but were ruthlessly repelled each time, leaving countless corpses behind.
"The thief has retreated ten miles."
Feng Shan came up to report with a bamboo hat and coir raincoat on his head.
"En." Qin Lang just responded lightly.
The rain was too heavy, which disrupted Qin Lang's original plan to go out of the city after dawn to fight back.
"It looks like the rain won't stop for a while." Feng Shan said.
Qin Lang nodded, "Send someone out of the customs to clean up the corpse of the thief. It's raining so hard that the fire won't be able to burn it."
"It doesn't work to dig a hole and bury it. Even if you dig a hole, it will turn into a pond."
"Then we can't let them stay outside to rot. Although it's raining, the weather is still hot. The corpses will rot within a day, or the plague will break out."
Qin Yong, Dugu Yanyun, Lao Huang and others also went up to the tower.
It's raining and windy outside, but it's cool upstairs here.
Cut two plates of sauced beef, and then a pot of realgar wine to remove dampness and poison.
"The wild man won't dare to come again after the battle last night!"
"Well, all the flukes were probably killed last night."
Several people are very calm.
The battle last night, for those mountain barbarians, may be a battle they have never seen before, but for them, it is nothing like an appetizer, especially if Ah Huang and Qin Yong have followed Qin Qiong through the Tang Dynasty For veterans of the Unification War.
They have fought several times in battles involving 100,000 people. This scene where the barbarians were sent to death is not worth mentioning.
Qin Lang looked at the wind and rain, and was also thinking about how to stop this stupid and meaningless war.
Although these barbarians are called savages, after all, they were still subject to the court in the past.
"Perhaps we should send a letter to that barbarian, calling for peace and persuading him to surrender!" Qin Lang said.
"No need, as soon as the rain stops, we can just kill them directly. The light cavalry is in the front and the pawns are in the back. We can kill them all." Ah Huang said indifferently. Not as good as those thieves in the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty. There is a fart in the number, and their performance last night has already explained everything.
Qin Lang said, "I thought these guys were just being used by others. A group of poor people, why bother to make knives for others and bleed here? Find a few unlucky ghosts who fell off the cliff last night and ask them to send letters to the barbarians Chief."
"They may not listen!"
"They are now in a dilemma. If I intend to recruit, they will be happy!"
Before this battle, Qin Lang thought that the barbarians might not be able to listen, but after this battle, the barbarians would probably be more clear-headed.
There is no unreasonable rebellion, and the barbarians must have reasons and appeals when they go down the mountain to make rebellion. Qin Lang is willing to face up to their appeals and give them a solution.
"What if the barbarians don't appreciate it?"
"Then fight until they serve!" Qin Lang announced domineeringly.
