Crossing the Hittite goddess

Bai Yi retreated to a remote city on the border with more than 200 wounded soldiers.The first thing to do when entering the city is to resettle the wounded soldiers and call all the people in the city, except for the elderly, women and children, all other people who can move are gathered together.Bai Yi asked someone to count the number of people, and counting the wounded soldiers he brought, there were more than 200 people in the 100 people and the [-] people stationed in the city.

More than five hundred people!Bai looked at the sky and sighed, resisting the five thousand army.

Bai Yi explained the situation loudly to a group of people who were called and still didn't know why, "Syria's army has overwhelmed the border, we must rely on our own strength to protect this city!"

The crowd looked at each other, "Where's the king and the army?"

"There are no kings and armies, only us!"

"why?"

"There is no reason, the king abandoned us and this city on the border!" At this time, Bai Yi could only discredit Karl, anyway, what he said was not far from the truth.

"I don't believe it. Our great king would never do such a thing. He is strong and brave, and he will protect the entire Hittites."

Bai Yi suddenly wanted to laugh, mighty and brave, guarding the whole Hittite?People in ancient times were really naive. Worshiping high-ranking people was like worshiping gods.He is also very naive, entrusting all his feelings to one person, and the ending is that after being abandoned, he doesn't even have a support.He is more stupid than the ignorant masses, knowing that he has been abandoned, but he still has to fight with his life!

Bai Yi said seriously, "He's gone, he's not here, the Syrian army's pressure is the best proof."

The crowd fell silent for an instant.

"Alright, those of you who know the most about the situation in the city stay here. The rest of you will come back after you go home and say goodbye to your family. I will assign tasks."

Hearing Bai Yi's words, the crowd exploded. They were all citizens of Xiaojing, and Bai Yi's words made it clear that they would be sent to the battlefield.

"No, no, I will be killed by the enemy."

"I, I... I haven't married a wife yet, I don't want to die!"

Complaints came and went.

"We are all innocent people!"

Bai Yi listened quietly to these voices of dissatisfaction, and suddenly someone shouted, "I'm not going to the battlefield, I'm going home." Everyone suddenly dispersed.

Becker looked nervously at the dispersed crowd, "Master Yali, what should I do?"

Bai Yi said unhurriedly: "Innocent? In war, no one is innocent! You are innocent, so aren't the soldiers behind me innocent? Don't they have parents, wives and children, and no worries! Okay, let's go , let’s go, let’s go too. No one guards the city, the Syrian army will use chariots and cavalry to break through the city gates and plunder your livestock! Humiliate your wives and children! Kill your parents! Enslave your bodies and minds!” Having said that, he paused for a while, and looked at the people leaving one by one to stop, "If you want these things to happen, and let your wives, children, and parents face the brutal Syrian army, then go back. "

Bai Yi rolled over and got on his horse, "Let's go!" He said to the soldiers behind him.

Suddenly, he fell to his knees in front of him.

"Master Yali, the envoy of God, Yali, please save us!"

Bai Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He rode on his horse and said loudly, "From today onwards, everyone, unite as one, resist foreign enemies, and defend our homeland!"

"Fight for the homeland!" Bai Yi raised the military thorn in his hand, pointed it at the sun in the sky, and the blade glowed brightly.At this moment, his figure was tall and sacred.

"Fight for the homeland! Fight for the homeland!..." People enthusiastically responded to Bai Yi's call.

After inspiring people, the next thing to do is to actively deploy defenses and try to defend the city, but you can't be beaten unilaterally, you must do something, otherwise you will definitely be defeated.

It is especially important to block the first wave of attacks. It not only inspires the confidence in fighting the enemy, but also shows the ability. The opponent will not launch a second attack rashly, and it also provides them with more time to relax.

In the city, various anti-Japanese war work was intensively prepared, the city gate was repaired and the city wall was strengthened, and various combat plans were drawn up.Bai Yi suggested that the fence be hung with straw mats and scarecrows. The hay was used to collect the opponent's bows and arrows, and the archers hid behind the scarecrows and used it as a shield.The old general's eyes lit up. This idea is really good, but the premise is that the opponent does not use fire to attack, and it really works.The soldiers and the civilians ate and slept together, trying to teach these civilians the most basic routines of wielding knives and guns in the shortest possible time, how to chop, how to avoid, and everyone almost reached a consensus. If you want to enter, you would rather die in battle than take prisoners.Women also joined the ranks of the resistance war, they helped make straw mats and scarecrows, and provided food.

Two days later.

"Report Lord Yali, the Syrian army is approaching, and it will reach the city in less than half a day!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became dignified, it came too fast!

Bai Yi thumped the table, "Get ready for battle immediately!" Bai Yi turned to the old general and said, "Old general, you come to command, and I will take ten people to the place with the strange smell that grandpa mentioned just now. Check it out."

"Don't worry, I will stick to it. If Syrian soldiers come in, they will step on my dead body first!" The old general nodded in righteous indignation and patted his chest as a promise.

Not much nonsense, Bai Yi led the people to set off immediately, and he silently prayed in his heart, if it must be, whether he can win this war depends entirely on it!

Bai Yi heard from the oldest old man in the city that in a mountainous area outside the city, there was a mountain where not a single blade of grass grew, and there was a very bad smell when you approached it. People said that it was a mountain cursed by the mountain god. No one wants to approach the mountain.When Bai Yi proposed to take a look, the old man quickly stopped and tried to persuade him not to go.But right now there are no resources available to resist the Syrian army, and everything is put on that mountain in vain.

Bai Yi took Becker and ten soldiers out of the city to look for the mountain. The soldiers in the city knew the location of the mountain, and the target was easy to find.Bai Yi took the brunt of running ahead, and the vegetation around the mountain was indeed sparse.Bai Yi sprawled on the ground pawing around, the soldiers behind him and Becker were all at a loss.

"Master Yali, you..."

"Found it!" Bai Yi was overjoyed and held up a light yellow translucent crystal. He sniffed it and hissed for silence. He held the crystal tightly with his hand and listened to it. There was a crackling sound. Bai Yi jumped up, "This is it!"

This thing refers to sulfur. Natural sulfur has different forms. The crystal form is often biconical or thick plate, and it is usually dense block or powder.Hold the crystal of sulfur tightly with your hand and put it close to your ear, and you can hear the sound of it breaking. be careful.

There's a good chance there's been a volcano here before, but what the hell, all I need is sulfur.

"No matter the size, the speed is fast, and you can take as much as you can. If possible, try to choose the color yellow, with high transparency, so that the sulfur content is more pure."

Although I don't know what the envoy said, but if he said so, then he would do it. Everyone fell on the ground, bowed their heads and slammed with tools, non-stop.Under the high concentration of more than a dozen people, the work progressed very quickly. Bai Yi wore gloves and sorted and sorted aside, and looked very much like the landlord Zhou Papi, or the evil landlord possessed by Tang Seng, "Quick, quick, quick! Hurry up! Don't stop!"

"Master Yali, what are you doing with this?"

"You are allowed to talk and don't stop!" Bai Bai said without raising his head.

Becker quickly lowered his head to pry the spar.

Bai Yi rested the spar in his hand and sighed, "It's not a good thing!" Then he continued to work.

It was not my intention to hurt people's lives!

"Okay, let's go!" Bai Yao took his things and got on the horse.

Bai Yi left in a hurry, and everyone was so anxious that they didn't even notice that there was one person missing in the line.

A strong man with a hunchback and a tiger's back was digging happily on the other side of the mountain. Dig more, and more, so as to protect the parents at home.When he got up to leave carrying a hill-like stone, he heard the sound of horses moving away.Hey, I'll go, wait a minute, I'm still here!

Buck stared blankly at Bai Yi and rushed back with a team of people. He sat down and said, come on, keep digging.

Bai Yi took Becker and a few soldiers to deal with the dug natural sulfur. Half a day later, the Syrian army arrived outside the city and camped at a place about 2000 meters away.Everyone's hearts were suspended, and after a while, a person from the Syrian army came to shout.

"Your king fled without a fight. Your dilapidated city gates can't stop the cavalry of our army. As long as you surrender obediently and hand over this city, I promise to save your life!"

The old general clapped his hands angrily, grabbed the bow and arrow of the archer beside him, and shot off the hat on the opponent's head with a swish. The Syrian army was so frightened that he quickly pulled up the reins and retreated.

The war was about to break out, and the Syrian army was about to formally attack soon. Bai Yi was very glad that they didn't invent any exaggerated attacking tools, and they still used the very old wooden stakes to top the door.

"The Syrian army has begun to attack!" The soldier reported.

The old general nodded slightly. Years of experience on the battlefield had honed his extraordinary patience, and he didn't need to do anything yet.

Taking down a small remote town without an army stationed in it, the Syrian soldiers and soldiers felt that it was in their pockets. They got reliable news that the king went home to put out the fire because of a fire in his backyard, and he would not be able to take care of it for a while. So go ahead!

The infantry rushed to the front, and suddenly the ground subsided, and a wide gully was exposed on the open ground. The entire row of soldiers in the front all fell into the trap. The trap was not just a pit. Bai Yi came out to let the enemy in. But after thinking of all kinds of deadly tricks, the trap is full of sharpened wood.In short, after falling in, people will definitely be poked into a sieve, and some chariots will accidentally fall in, and the horse must be hopeless, and the chariot will not get stuck if it is not destroyed.

After all, the general commanded by Syria was a man who had seen the world, so he immediately ordered a few rows of planks to be erected on the ravine, and the soldiers stepped on the planks and continued to rush forward.

The old general raised his hand, "Pull the rope!"

A whole row of sharpened rafts covered by gravel under the city gate was pulled up from the ground and turned outward at a 45-degree angle.

The Syrian soldiers could only chop the raft with their knives first. There were more and more soldiers under the city wall. They began to build ladders to climb up. The soldiers climbed up the ladders. The Syrian general thought it was too strange. The ladder, even the archer didn't shoot an arrow, and the soldiers were allowed to climb up.Most of the chariots have already driven through the ravine towards the city gate.

When the time is right, the old general waved his hand, "Light on the fire, pour oil!"

Clay pots full of hot oil were rolling down the ladders on the city wall. The soldiers who were scalded by the hot oil screamed and fell back as soon as they let go of their hands. There were also some soldiers who were on fire. They rushed back and forth, and because they were covered with hot oil, the soldiers who were not on fire were caught by the soldiers who were on fire.

The Syrian general jumped up and down and cursed, "There are traps everywhere, you damn scumbags! Archers!"

The rain of arrows flew towards the city wall, the old general leaned against the stone wall and touched his chin, hey, shoot more, the more the better!

"Pull up the haystack, and everyone send the arrows back to them!" The old general took the lead in drawing the arrows and drawing the bow to shoot the Syrian army.

The infantry of the Syrian army suffered heavy casualties. They originally planned to fight Karl, but they brought mostly chariots. Now they are useless. The general ordered a temporary retreat.

The first attack was survived. After all, there was no direct combat and there were not many wounded.The old general got off the city wall and hurried to find Bai Yi to discuss the next strategy, but was told by Becker that Master Yali is very busy now.

Looking at the soldiers in the wounded barracks who were in constant pain, the general of the Syrian army was so angry that he wanted to rip off his hair, but it was a small town that didn't even have a garrisoned army and injured him hundreds of times The pioneer infantry of the people, where is his face, how can he hang around in the army in the future!

The city must be taken!

He decided to attack the gate first tomorrow!He couldn't believe it, how many days would such a small city last under his siege and after playing all the tricks?Even if it consumes them, it will consume them to death!

The Syrian army began to attack before dawn the next day. The storm continued for three days without stopping. The old general commanded calmly, but the reserves of spears, bows and arrows were limited. Once the weapons were used up, they could only sit and wait for death.

In vain, he locked himself in the room to purify natural sulfur, and did not close his eyes for four days and four nights. Those messy chemical knowledge had long been returned to the teacher, and he could only operate with the sporadic memory in his impression.

"Lord Yali, the general and the others can't hold on any longer." Becker reported the battle situation to Bai Yi.

No one in the room answered, and the two soldiers guarding outside were also in a hurry.

"Defend the city gate! I would rather die in battle than be a prisoner!" The old general raised his arms and shouted, and the soldiers and the people fought with the determination to see death as home!

The Syrian general obviously realized that the opponent's defensive offensive was still unable to do what he wanted, and immediately ordered the next round of onslaught.Seeing that victory was in sight, the Syrian soldiers rushed forward with all their might.

At this moment, meadows emitting yellow smoke suddenly fell from the city wall. After a while, the city was filled with yellow smoke. Syrian soldiers covered their eyes, mouth and nose and rolled on the ground. Some people had difficulty breathing after inhaling a large amount of smoke. Become unconscious.

Sulfur is a low-toxic hazardous chemical, but its steam and sulfur dioxide produced after burning sulfur are highly toxic to the human body, and can cause burns when fully oxidized.

The Syrian army learned how powerful Huang Yan was, and under the influence of Huang Yan, the Syrian army retreated hastily. The more serious symptoms were dyspnea, coma, and the milder symptoms were headache, fatigue, vomiting, and some people had rashes all over their bodies. .The general of the Syrian army slapped the case hard, what is going on?

I didn't rest for four days and four nights, and fainted after explaining things and precautions.The soldiers and the masses who survived the storm felt lucky to survive the catastrophe. They thanked the envoy Yali for his guidance and guidance, and helped them tide over the difficulties.Because Bai Yi locked himself in the house to study natural sulfur, he was contaminated with this thing every day, and almost killed himself in it.Comatose, vomiting, covered in eczema, it took five days to get better.

Bai Yi lowered his head to look at the sky in the water basin, "Oh, shit! This guy with buns all over his face, how can he see people!" Bai Yi rubbed his arms through his clothes, his whole body was covered with bumps, just like he had measles when he was a child. "Ah, I am handsome and charming, a rare handsome face in the world! My neck is like a braised duck neck that has lost its hair! Look at these ones, eh~ it's disgusting!" Bai Yi shook his shoulders in disgust. .

Becker's mouth was stupid, and he could only comfort him monotonously, "It will get better, Master Yali."

"Of course I will, otherwise I'll kill myself!" As a student of the acting department, Bai Yi paid great attention to his appearance and skin.

Ten days later, the Syrian army suddenly launched a surprise attack. Bai Yi and the old general stood on the city wall and directed the battle. The battle lasted for half a month.The little bit of sulfur in Bai Yi's hand cannot be squandered at will because of the small amount. The Syrian army seems to be determined not to give up until the city is taken down.After half a month of onslaught, the Syrian army stopped attacking. Bai Yi understood in his heart that this was to trap them to death without losing any troops.There is a serious shortage of supplies. In order to fight against the Syrian army, no matter what can be used or burned, or what can be eaten or not, all are used. Even several camp tents have been burned. They are at the end of their rope.

The sun was about to set, and Bai Yi stood on the city gate and looked at the distant horizon. He fantasized that maybe Karl would show up with reinforcements in the next moment, but no!

At night, Bai Yi leaned tiredly on the meadow outside the camp, and the wounded around him were all downcast and listless. A month of hard fighting had almost exhausted all their energy!Bai Yi had already sent three people to Hattushash to ask for support, but a month passed without any news.

This is counting on me to die!

Bai Yi sighed, looking up at the moon with heavy eyes.A pleasant and long piece of music suddenly sounded in the ears. Becker picked the leaves and blew them in his mouth. Everyone listened quietly, temporarily forgetting the pain in their bodies.Bai Yi's thoughts were gradually guided, he closed his heavy eyelids, and unexpectedly slept peacefully tonight, tomorrow is destined to be a day of war and turmoil.

In the middle of the night, Bai Yi was in a deep sleep when he was woken up by Becker, who said that someone had come to seek medical treatment.

"Seek a doctor, come to me? I'm not a doctor!" Bai Yi was at a loss.

I saw a strong man who was more than two meters tall holding a woman. The strong man knelt down with a bang, and Bai Yi felt the ground shake.

"My lord envoy, save my mother quickly!" He kowtowed to Bai as he spoke.

Bai Yi hurriedly helped him up, "Let's talk first when we get up, we will definitely help."

Bai Yi comforted the strong man and asked the reason, "Okay, Buck, you said the stone, the stone you picked with us that day?"

"That's right!" Buck nodded, "Mother fainted as soon as she entered that room."

Suddenly Bai Yi's eyes lit up, he jumped up excitedly and patted Buck's shoulder, and a new idea formed in his mind. "Buck, you are a hero, you are the hero who saved the whole city!"

Bai Yi couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and said: "Your mother was just smoked by sulfur. Take her to a well-ventilated place, untie her collar, and let her breathe smoothly. She may feel a little uncomfortable after waking up. It will be fine in a few days."

This strong man Buck is the man who was forgotten by Bai Yi on the mountain. When Bai Yi went to his house, he looked straight at him. Are the big rocks on these two hills a joke?Obviously not, anyway, at least God didn't ask him to die here now.

Bai Yi ordered people to tie their mouth and nose with a damp cloth, wrapped their hands with cloth strips, armed themselves as best they could, and began to deal with the natural sulfur.

Tomorrow will be a good day, Bai Yi told himself.

At dawn the next day, Bai Yi and the crowd stood on the city wall and blew the horn.

The sentries of the Syrian army immediately ran into the general’s tent and reported that the Hittite envoy and a group of people stood on the city wall and danced wildly and strangely. The moon didn't win, it was ridiculous!idiot!big eater!

The general of the Syrian army was so enraged that he wanted to kill someone!That lifeless yellow-haired boy dared to pick on widows, so he must let him taste the power of the sharp knife in his hand, and let him die in hell.The military adviser hurriedly comforted him, telling him not to get excited, and beware of deceit, but how can the general listen to it, it's all crawling on his head to shit, can he still sit indifferently?Immediately copied the guy, called the younger brother, and vowed to chop Bai Yi into pieces.

Bai Yi stood on the city wall and looked at the general of the Syrian army, then suddenly made a face, turned around and slapped his butt.The general of the Syrian army could no longer use adjectives like anger or fury to express his feelings at the moment. Bai Yi humiliated him in front of all his soldiers, and he wished he could catch Bai Yi and cut him.

"Rush! Catch the Hittite envoy, and there will be a reward!"

The Syrian army almost came out in full force, and even dispatched chariot troops, daring to break open the city gate and start killing.Soldiers were exceptionally valiant, and they could not stand insults to their generals, as to themselves and their country.The crowded army stepped on their feet intensively and the horses galloped, causing the dust to fly, and there were almost no figures under the city wall, only the outlines could be distinguished.

Bai Bai looked at it expressionlessly, without a trace of nervousness, the time was almost ripe, he said softly: "Light on the fire."

More than 200 arrows burning with flames shot at the battlefield in unison, and were obliterated by the dust.

After waiting for a while without any response, Becker walked behind Bai Yi, "Lord Yali, if you fail and the city gate is broken, I will protect you until death!"

Bai Yi was surprised for a moment, "Abu..." As soon as the voice fell, there were loud explosions everywhere on the battlefield, and the flames spread everywhere. Bai Yi could hear the wailing and crying from the farthest place. Call.It turns out that this kind of sound will get used to it!

Bai Yi sighed, at least it succeeded, I was still alive, Abu was alive, and the city was defended, so that's good!

Last night, Bai Yi asked the whole city to sprinkle natural sulfur powder on the battlefield outside the city, and mixed all the remaining flour on it. Sulfur is flammable and can be mixed with dust, steam, air or oxidizers. An explosive mixture can then be formed.

"Open the city gate and wipe out the remaining enemy troops." The old general shouted, and the soldiers and the crowd covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, wrapped their skin exposed to the air, and rushed out of the gate with their weapons.The Syrian army has long been tortured to the brink of death by the poisonous gas of explosions and sulfur burning, and they can only lie on the chopping board and let the mermaid go.

There were only a few surviving wounded soldiers in the Syrian army. They helped the general back to the camp and retreated, only to find that the barracks was on fire, and the food stored by the marching army had been emptied.

That Hittite oracle is a wizard, and he can use dark witchcraft!The indignant Syrian general used this as an excuse for defeat, so in Syria, it gradually spread that the Hittites believed in the god of war, Yali, who was a dark wizard. He was evil and cruel, and he killed people without blinking an eye!

The author has something to say: I sent [-]+ in one breath, so generous, please don't be stingy to touch me!

(Explanation: 5000 people was already a lot of people at that time. Consider that the capital of Hattushash has only 5 residents. Take the Kadesh battle between Egypt and Hittites as an example. The [-] Hittite army was already The limit is reached, and in small-scale wars, even if there are reinforcements, there are only a few hundred people.)
