Chapter 18
Du Ting led the people to retreat while fighting, and soon came to the forest where the ambush had been made. After passing the forest, the people who ambush came out from behind the tree and fought with Du Ting.

In the end, all the pursued enemy troops were killed, and the general of the Jin army was also captured alive by Du Ting and brought back to the barracks. This was the first enemy general captured alive in this war.

General Wang and General Liu who woke up early the next morning were very surprised to see the captives. Although Du Ting and they would attack the enemy camp at night, they did not expect to have such a big harvest, and almost killed them without a single soldier. The 1000 enemy soldiers also captured an enemy general. Since then, they have become more convinced of Du Ting.

The entire first day's battle was considered a success, but Du Ting knew that the first day's Jin army was only a tentative attack, and once they started a large-scale attack, it would be much more difficult.

The Xia Kingdom claimed to have [-] troops stationed at the border. In fact, it was only [-], and the opponent had [-]. However, as the initiator of the war, they must have been prepared to mobilize troops for support, but the Xia Kingdom had no time to mobilize troops.

"Little General Meng, the nearest Ancheng has [-] troops, but it takes four days to come and go from here to Ancheng. In the next few days, the support of the Jin Army will definitely come. How should we respond then?"

When facing Du Ting, General Wang felt like facing a great general, thinking that she must have a solution.

"The next day, the entire Jin army is likely to attack. The opponent has 6 people and we will also send 6 people. I have arrangements for the rest at night."

Du Ting thought for a while, and some battles don't have to be fought by humans.

"The general wants to attack at night? I'm afraid the Jin army has taken precautions after last night." Du Ting said worriedly, thinking that he was planning to attack General Liu at night.

"This time it's not a night attack. As for how to do it, I can't disclose it yet. As long as the plan is successful, we can leave the Golden Army with 1 troops tomorrow." Du Ting is very confident in her own ideas.

"Since the general has a plan, it's fine. We don't have the brains. Then everything will depend on General Meng." Seeing that Du Ting didn't reveal his plan, General Liu stopped asking.

Sure enough, all the Jin troops were dispatched. Du Ting did not go to the battlefield this time. She arranged for people to collect all the sulfur and saltpeter in the border town. First, she made a homemade gunpowder according to the proportions in her impression, and tested the power of the gunpowder.

After success, mix all the sulfur and saltpeter together according to the proportion, pour them into the bamboo tubes that are sealed on one side, and let people put them away after they are done.Then she had shovels and planks ready for the evening.

In this battle, both sides suffered injuries to each other, and the losses were around [-] soldiers and horses, so it was a tie.For the past two days, Dr. Liu Jun has been preparing the antidote for the general, and it has already seen initial results. The general can wake up in just two days.

"Doctor Liu, is there any poison that can spread quickly by burning?" The winter wind is blowing from Xia Guo to Jin Guo, and many things can be done with the power of the wind.

"There is a poisonous weed called Silver Star Grass, which is a common weed. It is usually non-toxic, but when burned together with snake grass, it will emit a poisonous gas, which will make people lose their ability to move in a short time."

Dr. Liu Jun also discovered this incident by accident. Silver Star Grass is usually used as a kindling match, and it is easier to ignite. As a result, Dr. Liu accidentally mixed a snake-shaped grass used as medicine, and after lighting it, he fell into a coma for two days. Genius woke up.

The snake-shaped grass is only used to stop bleeding. I didn't expect it to have this characteristic when burned at the same time as the silver star grass. Although it will make people drowsy, it will not cause harm to the body. Doctor Liu Jun uses it as anesthesia.

"Thank you, Doctor Liu, for telling me. Please also ask Doctor Liu to draw the snake-shaped grass. I will send someone to collect the medicine."

Du Ting thanked Dr. Liu Jun, and then sent people to collect herbs according to the graphics drawn by Dr. Liu Jun.

After the battle, Du Ting asked all the generals to have a meeting to discuss the next battle plan. Now Du Ting is almost making decisions alone, and the others are just following orders.

"Now the Jin Army still has 5 troops, and we still have more than 7. We burned the Jin Army's food and grass before, and they can only hold on with the remaining food for a few more days. As long as we hold on, this battle will be won. ." Du Ting looked at the exhausted generals and began to cheer them up.

The food problem of the Jin army has always been a big problem. This time they have the idea of ​​​​taking over the border towns to plunder the food, so they hurriedly launched a war when they had enough food and grass. If Du Ting was not here, the general would not be able to survive if the general was poisoned. Live the scene.

"How is the situation of the general? But did you find a spy in the army?" General Wang thought that the person who poisoned the general secretly was someone from the Jin army.

"The general has improved, and the spy was found, but he committed suicide without revealing any information." That person should be Zhao Wenxuan's dead man, and Du Ting didn't plan to get any information through him.

She believes that the other party will definitely make a move, it may be the general Meng Hao, or it may be her, but she has already made plans.

She arranged for the secret guards to protect the general secretly, leaving him alive to follow secretly. Once Zhao Wenxuan made a move, she could follow the clues to find Zhao Wenxuan.

In fact, what Du Ting is doing now is good enough. Even if the general wakes up, he can't come up with a better solution. What he is doing now is not to persist until the general wakes up, but to fight back the Jin army before he wakes up.

"I don't know which son General Meng is. I heard that General Meng has only one daughter. I'm afraid this is his nephew?"

After leaving the chamber, General Wang and General Liu were discussing on the road.

"I'm afraid so, and General Meng must have tried his best to train him so that he could achieve such achievements at such an age." General Liu nodded in agreement after hearing General Wang's words.

"General Meng didn't do as well as him at this age. It's really a wave of the Yangtze River pushing forward." General Wang recognized Du Ting very much.

"The blue is better than the blue, and the general's mansion can be regarded as having a descendant, but it's a pity that he is not the son of the great general."

Since the general can take him to the battlefield, he must have plans to let him inherit the Meng family, General Liu sighed.

So far, only doctor Liu Jun knows that Du Ting is the general's daughter, and everyone else thinks she is the general's nephew.If you tell them that Du Ting is a woman now, I'm afraid they won't believe it.

At night when the others rested, Du Ting asked the soldiers who did not participate in the battle to dig holes outside the barracks, put gunpowder every few meters, then covered them with wooden planks and re-buried the soil. dead grass.

Because of last night's sneak attack, Jin Yingzhong was worried that Du Ting would repeat his old tricks, so he added a lot of night watchmen, and ordered everyone to be alert. After one night, nothing happened, and the marchers naturally didn't sleep well.
