Chapter 186 Crazy "Golden Juice"
"Good job, but what about the casualties?"
Jiang Chen was slightly delighted when he heard about the Blue Camp's battle record.
However, he soon came to his senses.
The four fierce attacks by Prince An’s army were no joke.
Even though they repelled four fierce attacks, the Blue Camp must have paid a huge price!
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Chen ask this.
Du Mingyu shook his head helplessly and said a little embarrassedly.
"My Lord, I have 10,000 soldiers in the Blue Word Camp."
"Now, we have lost more than three hundred brothers."
"More than 200 people were seriously injured."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned.
Although this number may not sound like much.
But this is only the first day!
They had already lost three hundred men, and two hundred were seriously injured.
If we continue like this, it will only take twenty days.
Prince An can then successfully capture the west gate!
Let’s not talk about the casualties of the defenders at other city gates, but it is estimated that they are not much different.
Although the walls of the imperial capital were high, Prince An could not help but use the ladder.
They even got more than a dozen catapults, which were powerful weapons!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly.
If we continue to fight in this way, we will definitely drag down the Regent and Prince An.
I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for Prince Huai'an's army to join us.
Prince An then attacked the imperial capital and ascended the throne as emperor!
"So, what are the casualties of Prince An's army?"
With a complicated heart, Jiang Chen asked calmly.
"My Lord, we'll make an estimate."
"Including those who came with ladders, there should be about two thousand people."
Facing Jiang Chen's question, Du Mingyu replied with some pride .
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen's worried brows finally relaxed a little.
"Well, you order people to collect some of the filthy excrement."
"Have the soldiers boil it until King An attacks the city again."
"You just pour all this boiling filth down!"
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen said.
"Sir, why is this happening?!"
Du Mingyu was a little curious when he heard Jiang Chen's order.
He couldn't understand why Jiang Chen ordered the collection and boiling of these filthy things.
"Just follow my instructions."
"This 'gold juice' can give our Prince An a good look."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and then a faint murderous intent emerged.
Du Mingyu couldn't help but shudder.
Following Jiang Chen's instructions, Du Mingyu quickly called people to collect some feces and other dirty things.
Smelling the stinking odor, some soldiers couldn't help but frown.
"Tell me, why did the commander ask us to cook these things?"
"I don't know either. Just follow the orders."
"Yeah, why bother so much?"
As they spoke, the soldiers had no choice but to cover their noses while lighting a fire on the city wall.
Soon, pots of freshly baked "golden juice" were ready.
At this time, Prince An's army was ready to attack the city again.
Looking at King An's army approaching the city step by step with shields and ladders raised.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.
It seems that this is Prince An’s army.
You will be one of the first lucky people in the world to feel the "golden juice".
Following Jiang Chen's instructions, the soldiers on the city wall did not take action.
They just watched quietly as Prince An's army set up the ladders below the city.
Huo Xiang, the frontier general in charge of attacking the west gate, looked at his subordinates who were not attacked.
I couldn't help but frown.
"Have the defenders of the West City given up resistance?!"
"Impossible, these people are all followers of the Regent."
"How could they give up resistance so easily?"
"I think there must be a trick!"
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Huo, who had rich experience in leading troops, discovered something unusual.
But before he could give orders to remind the soldiers, the soldiers at the front climbed up the ladders.
Watching the soldiers of King An starting to climb up the city using ladders.
Jiang Chen turned his head and nodded to Du Mingyu beside him.
Seeing Jiang Chen's gesture, Du Mingyu immediately waved his hand.
"Here, take the hot soup we prepared."
"Send it to these brothers of King An to have a taste!"
Following Du Mingyu's order.
The defenders on the city wall poured the still boiling hot "gold juice" directly down!
"What is this? It stinks!"
Smelling the scent of "golden juice", the soldiers of Prince An who climbed up the ladders covered their noses one after another.
But the next second, the hot juice poured over their bodies.
Suddenly, waves of wailing were heard!
“Ah—ah—”
"ah--"
The soldiers of King An who had climbed up the ladder were poured with boiling "gold juice".
His arms were burned and he subconsciously let go of the handrails of the ladder with both hands.
It just fell heavily to the ground!
Countless soldiers of Prince An were frightened by this scene and dared not rush forward.
And those soldiers of Prince An who did not have time to rush up the ladders were also affected by the "golden juice".
Their faces were disfigured by the scalding juice and they fell to the ground in agony.
Looking at this scene, Prime Minister Huo, who was sitting in the back, was so shocked that he froze in place.
"Humph, it's a trick !"
"Order the army to withdraw and temporarily abandon the siege!"
At a command from Prime Minister Huo, the An Wang army, which had already intended to retreat, quickly withdrew.
In addition, those soldiers who were scalded by the "gold juice" but had not died were also brought back.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to know what methods Jiang Chen and his team used.
Prime Minister Huo personally brought a group of his troops to the wounded camp.
As soon as I entered the wounded soldiers' camp, I smelled a strong stench.
"Is this the smell of shit?!"
Smelling the stench, Prime Minister Huo couldn't believe it.
Such filthy things were actually used by Jiang Chen and his men to defend the city!
What’s more, it’s so effective!
With a look of disbelief on his face, Prime Minister Huo covered his nose and walked into the wounded camp with his head held high.
Looking at the wounded soldiers whose wounds had begun to fester.
There was a flash of pity in his eyes, and he was filled with resentment towards Jiang Chen and others who were guarding the city.
At this time, a military doctor from Prince An's army came over.
"General, I'm afraid these soldiers can't be saved."
"What nonsense! It's just a burn, why can't it be treated?!"
After hearing what the doctor said, a general beside Huo Xiang asked unhappily.
"I dare not talk nonsense about the injuries of these soldiers."
"It's more than a normal burn, the wound has festered."
"If not handled properly, there is a high probability of a plague!"
The doctor was not afraid of the general's questioning.
Instead, he retorted with a serious look.
"Well, let's kill them all!"
Knowing full well that the doctor had not deceived him, Prime Minister Huo gritted his teeth and said this.
Seeing Prime Minister Huo's reluctant expression, the doctor didn't know what to say.
As a result, more than 2,000 wounded soldiers were executed and cremated by Prime Minister Huo.
