In the morning, in Qingshan City, the soldiers of the defenders looked at the camps outside the city and pointed at them. It had been several days since the opponent's troops arrived at the city. The reinforcements had not been seen for a long time, but the defenders were not afraid.

There were plenty of wood and stones in the city, and the warehouse was full of food and grass. Even if there were no reinforcements outside, the military and civilians in the city could hold on for several months. However, the Zhou army could not stay for several months.

The Zhou army attacked Pyongyang and suddenly became soldiers under the city. Seeing that it was urgent to go to Pyongyang, they divided their troops to plunder everywhere. People from all over the country hid in the city near their residence. These Zhou army who were robbing families could only wander around and had no time to spend several months catching the city.

The lord of Qingshan City is knowing the current situation, so he is not afraid of the Zhou army's long-term siege, let alone the invasion of Zhou army is not much more powerful than them. If you want to attack the Ant Support City, you are not as capable as you can even surround the city. What kind of actions can you do?

Omoto was looking at the several catapults built by the army outside the city. He really didn't understand what the other party was thinking. How many catapults could they throw even if they threw stones day and night?

For the Goguryeo army that had fought with the Zhou army for the first time, they had never seen or even heard of weapons like Booming Thunder. In their opinion, the catapults were all driven by human power, so there was no threat at all for a few catapults.

In the eyes of the big room, the only thing that the other party had to do was to cut off the water source.

There is a river outside the city, which is the main source of water in the city. Although the Zhou army set up camp by the water, it was considered to have cut off the river water source, but there are mountain springs in the city. Although the water volume is small, it is considered to have a source of water in the end.

Although the spring water flows small, it flows all year round and continuously flows into the specially built reservoir. As long as it saves drinking, it will be enough for the whole city's military and civilians to use for several months, not to mention that it is rainy season now, and rainwater can be stored in the city at any time.

Therefore, even if the Zhou army cut off the river, it will not actually cause a water shortage in the city in the short term.

After thinking about it, Omoto didn't think there was any way for the other party to break the city in the short term. All he had to be wary of was a night attack. Although the catapults outside the city were a bit weird, they could not cause any substantial damage to the stone walls.

As long as one seeks stability and does not fight easily, the Zhou army will inevitably retreat and keep the military and civilians in the city safe.

As the city lord, Qingshan City and the military and civilians in the city are precious property of the great minister. Only by relying on the city and the army and the people, he can maintain his position and not be looked down upon by other nobles. Of course, he would not agree to the Zhou army if he wanted to take it away.

After patrolling the city and making sure there was no problem again, the room was about to go back to rest, but heard the shouts, and then several large stones flew in the air, each dragging a long cloth and falling into the city.

After several loud bangs, some dust rose, and the stones thrown by the Zhou army smashed some buildings in the city, but the damage caused was limited.

It's almost like tickling.

After a while, a soldier came to report that the stones thrown by the Zhou army into the city were tied with cloth strips, and patterns were painted on the cloth strips, which seemed to be curses.

When Omoto heard this, his eyebrows raised: "Curse? Do you understand Chinese characters? Or are they writing Chinese?"

"When I go back to the city lord, the cloth is painted with a snake swallowing a frog."

"Snake?" Omoto was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "It's really a curse."

After saying that, he looked at the military camps outside the city and shook his head: "I really don't know what's up."

Frogs are worshipped in Goguryeo. Now Zhou Jun drew a pattern of snake swallowing frogs and threw them into the city. It was nothing more than a curse-like threat, saying that the snake (Zhou Kingdom) would swallow frogs sooner or later (Goguryeo).

However, if the curse is useful, what other army is needed?

The big room was speechless about this boring trick. It seemed that the commander of the Zhou army had no good way to break the city, so he pretended to be a fool to do such a mess to scare people. However, if the soldiers and civilians in the city were so easily scared, then don’t be human.

He continued to go to his mansion. As he walked, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

When I returned home, I saw my wife worried and asked carefully, but my son's illness had not improved and even showed a tendency to worsen.

No matter how strong a person is, he will die of illness if he is infected with a bad disease. The son of Masashi Omoto is skilled in bow and horse, and has always been very good. He has always paid great attention to avoiding colds, but suddenly fell ill a few days ago.

This disease keeps coughing, coughing, and coughing up bleeding.

Now that he heard that his son's condition had not improved, Omoto was a little worried. Although he had more than one son, he would not be able to die after death, but he was a son after all, and as a father, he could not be a bystander.

When he wanted to visit the disease, his wife was afraid that the big room was suffering from illness and delayed the city defense, so she said that her son had already taken medicine to bed.

The couple had just said a few words when the big room suddenly started to cough, and then the wife also started to cough.

The couple coughed so well, and the servants also coughed with the maids waiting outside, which was very "live".

Omori was quickly drinking a glass of warm water to moisten his throat. He was coughing, and suddenly remembering why he felt something was wrong just now: on the way back, many people were coughing.

Sometimes people will cough when they catch a cold, so coughing is no big deal. However, if many people are coughing at the same time, this means...

Just as Omoto thought of this, he rushed out of the door and rushed to the reservoir where the spring was located to see if the fish in the pond were still alive.

The reservoir stores spring water, which can be said to be the most important water source in Qingshan City. In order to prevent anyone from poisoning, the main room was responsible for building a wall to surround the reservoir, and arranged for people to take turns to be on duty, so that no one was allowed to approach.

In order to facilitate the military and civilians in the city to obtain water, the reservoir opened a sink, allowing the pond water to flow through the water gate into the small pool outside the fence wall. There are fish in the reservoir. The guards have to check whether the fish are lively and circumvented every day.

In the past few days, there have been no abnormalities on the reservoir, so the Okushima thought there would be no problem with the water source, but now, his anxiety is expanding, and he can't do it if he doesn't go and see it with his own eyes.

As he walked, Omoto was coughing again, and most of his followers were like this.

The group came to the reservoir. The room was coughing while watching the fish swimming slowly in the pond. They couldn't help but wonder: The water source is fine, so why do many people cough?

Staring at these fish, the big room was thinking for a moment, then someone was fishing the fish, and then they found that although these fish were alive, they were all sick.

After a closer look, I saw the fish gills rotting and smelling smell.

These fish are alive, but they are all sick, and there is no doubt that there is a problem with the water.

Dashi was getting more and more uneasy, so he ordered people to search the clear reservoir. After searching for a while, he found a few inconspicuous stones.

The reason why these stones were specially touched out is because they are light in weight and have small holes. After they come out of water, they can smell a slight odor.

After being smashed, you can see that these so-called "stones" are hollow and have many slightly odorous flocs in the cavity.

This thing is obviously not the original object of the reservoir, and the water quality becomes "toxic" because of the existence of these things.

This poison will not poison people or fish, but it can make people sick with fish.

When fish are sick, there are problems with gills, people are sick and have lung problems, so they keep coughing. These things should be secretly thrown into the pool in the Zhou army in the city, because they look like stones, so they are inconspicuous.

However, these things sink at the bottom of the pool and keep toxic. Before we know it, many people drink the poisonous pool water directly.

The Zhou army cut off the water source outside the city, but did not rush to attack. They just waited for the soldiers and civilians in the city to drink the poisoned spring water and became ill.

Thinking of this, the big room was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "The water in the reservoir is empty! Only drink the spring water flowing out of the spring eyes!"

"Go now...cough cough cough cough cough...cough check now! Everyone who has approached the reservoir these days has brought them...cough cough cough cough...cough come here!"
