"One more time." Bai Yutian looked at Zhao Chuxue.
Zhao Chuxue nodded and began to meditate to restore her physical strength and internal energy, while Bai Yutian hurriedly rearranged the medicinal materials, and Dong Sheng also came to help.
"Your Majesty, the art of alchemy is an evil art and has no effect at all." Dong Sheng hesitated for a while and finally persuaded him.
In his opinion, although Bai Yutian wanted to save those seriously injured soldiers, relying on elixirs was a bit fanciful.
The art of alchemy is a witchcraft that has been spread since the previous dynasty. From then on, no one dared to promote elixirs.
Even Daozong only secretly refines it internally.
"No, I have to try again." Bai Yutian shook his head and said.
Since Daozong has a record of successful refining, they also have hope.
Dong Sheng saw that Bai Yutian did not listen to the advice, so he did not continue to persuade him.
Bai Yutian and others worked from morning to night, but they never succeeded. As for Dong Sheng, he had already returned to the wounded soldiers to treat them.
Bai Yutian sat on the ground dejectedly. It was so difficult to refine this elixir.
Is there nothing we can do to save the lives of those seriously injured soldiers?
They only have the last of the medicinal materials left to refine the elixir.
Tonight, the Shanu Kingdom is likely to launch another attack, and Bai Yutian must prepare in advance.
"What? It's so easy to make an elixir. Just put the medicinal ingredients in and wait for a while." Di Ke stood up and said.
She has also read the outline of alchemy, so she naturally knows the art of alchemy.
Bai Yutian touched Di Ke's head, "It's not that simple."
"Your Majesty." A hurried voice sounded from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the Shanu Kingdom has attacked again."
"What, take me there quickly." Bai Yutian frowned, this Shanu country really came as soon as he said it.
Bai Yutian left in a hurry, leaving medicinal materials on the ground and not clearing them away.
Di Ke looked at the medicinal materials on the ground, thoughtfully.
…
In the previous rounds of attacks, the Shanu Kingdom quickly withdrew, causing almost no casualties.
However, it made the defenders of the Great Zhou Dynasty nervous all the time, and they did not dare to slack off or even take a rest.
However, the number of enemy troops has a very large advantage. Taking turns to attack, the remaining soldiers can get sufficient rest and have an extremely powerful force.
It was a devastating blow to the Zhou defenders.
Even so, Bai Yutian didn't have any countermeasures. They couldn't let down their vigilance, because maybe which round of attack would be the real attack of Shanu Kingdom.
It seems that Shanu Kingdom also wants to attack Xishengzhou City at the least cost.
They couldn't bear the price of last night.
In the middle of the night, Bai Yutian and others were resting on the city wall when they suddenly heard shouts of murder coming from outside the city.
They looked down and saw enemy troops coming like a tide.
"This is their general attack." Bai Yutian said in a deep voice.
The number of people in this attack exceeded any previous one. Nearly 80,000 fresh troops from the Shanu Kingdom took advantage of the darkness of night to launch an attack on Xishengzhou City.
Not only that, the tens of thousands of Shanu troops that had been withdrawn before were also waiting in the rear, ready for the next round of attack.
The main force in the attack this time was Cui Shou.
Without Jing Ling and others, if Cui Shou once attacks the city wall, it will be difficult to stop Cui Shou with only Yin Xi.
It seems that Shanu Kingdom is determined to capture Xishengzhou City tonight.
Bai Yutian's face was extremely heavy. Tonight was destined to be a difficult night.
The army of Shanu Kingdom approached the city wall, shouting and killing loudly, and everyone on the Zhou garrison side was also very energetic and prepared to fight.
Behind them was their emperor, which made every one of the Zhou defenders try their best, their morale was high, and no one backed down.
The arrows fell like raindrops, falling on the heads of the Sanu soldiers, causing many Sanu soldiers to be wounded and killed.
However, this was only a small loss for the huge Shanu army. At this time, the Shanu army had begun to climb up the city wall and kill the Zhou defenders.
There were too many enemy troops. Under the leadership of Yin Xi, the Zhou garrison formed the most powerful defense team of less than 20,000 people. They defeated most of the enemy troops before they could even attack the city wall.
Under the command of Zheng Tao, the musketry battalion formed a strict and orderly team. Under the cover of the soldiers in front, they launched a head-on attack on the Shanu Kingdom army.
Some Shanu soldiers who were lucky enough to climb onto the city wall were either killed by the Zhou defenders or blasted to death with muskets.
These muskets are still very powerful and can sometimes kill several Sanu soldiers at once.
However, the Shanu Kingdom's army far outnumbered them, and its follow-up force was still very strong. As time went by, gaps finally appeared in the front line of defense.
At this time, the army of Shanu Kingdom behind them also began to rush towards Xishengzhou City. Their purpose was not to attack the city, but to harass the defenders on the city wall.
Heavy crossbows and arrows were fired wildly, and many of the Zhou defenders standing at the front were unfortunately injured or killed.
The deaths of these people undoubtedly opened a larger hole in the defense line on the city wall, and countless soldiers from the Shanu Kingdom swarmed in.
"Shoot!" Zheng Tao shouted, and countless muskets were fired at the torn hole.
A group of Shanu soldiers rushed to the city wall, but before they could start fighting, they were all killed by musketry.
The surrounding Zhou garrison also quickly made up for this loophole and continued to form a line of defense.
"Shield defense, archers ready... to fire arrows."
Yin Xi shouted loudly and took the lead, leading the Zhou garrison to defend.
And the city head where he was located was also the most securely defended place.
They could even free up time to help the surrounding Zhou garrison.
The Musketeers Battalion was right behind them, killing the Sanu soldiers everywhere.
If there was no musketeer battalion, I am afraid that the Shanu army would have already attacked the city wall.
"ah!"
"hateful!"
Suddenly, countless screams came from a city head, and the shrill screams even covered up the cries of killing.
Bai Yutian and others looked over and were immediately shocked.
There, Cui Shou rushed up with more than a hundred soldiers from the Shanu Kingdom and almost slaughtered all the Zhou defenders here.
Not only that, Cui Shou tore through this line of defense, and a steady stream of soldiers climbed up from behind.
In just this moment, twenty or thirty soldiers had already climbed up.
"Musket Camp, aim at Cui Shou." Bai Yutian quickly ordered.
Cui Shou's strength is very terrifying. If Cui Shou is allowed to wreak havoc, the entire city wall will be captured.
Countless muskets were aimed at Cui Shou. Cui Shou knew how powerful these muskets were. The last attack was because of the muskets, which caused them great losses, so he did not dare to underestimate them.
Many soldiers stood in front of Cui Shou, and muskets roared. Even though the Shanu soldiers in front used tribal secrets, they could not resist the musket fire, and blood mist exploded from their bodies.
But at this time, Cui Shou had also rushed to the vicinity of the Musket Camp. He slashed through it with his sword, and the formation of the Musketeer Camp was immediately disrupted, and several soldiers were also killed by Cui Shou.
