After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 440 Siege War

It seems that plans can never keep up with the speed of change. Before Murong Yuan was sent away, the army of the Northern Kingdom began to attack the city!

Perhaps the two previous failures had stimulated Yelu Jin, so as soon as the weather cleared up a little, he ordered his soldiers to lead the army to war!

When the sky cleared up after the snow, the soldiers in the city didn’t even have time to enjoy the snowy scenery before they had to risk their lives!

Those northern soldiers attacked Xiangyi City fearlessly as if they were injected with chicken blood. Many ladders were set up on the high city walls. What was even more surprising was that these northerners also installed long iron nails on the ladders and nailed them firmly to the city walls. Not even the ice and snow could make them slip.

However, those northern soldiers were not afraid of the severe cold and were very good at climbing mountains, so the battle on the city wall was extremely fierce. People were constantly injured, and then more people were constantly sent up. Whenever there was a gap in the city wall, there would be soldiers to fill it up.

"General, this is not a solution. Even though we have a large number of people, we cannot withstand such attrition. If there are heavy casualties in today's battle, we will probably be controlled by others in future battles!" General Zhang gave Murong Yan a suggestion while paying attention to the battle on the city wall.

Murong Yanhui remained silent, his eyes fixed on the Northern soldiers who kept climbing up the city wall.

"Brother, there is something wrong with these people!"

Yu Lihan had been following Murong Yanhui and had been observing him for quite some time. He found that this group of Northern soldiers was very abnormal. Although Northerners were always brave and good at fighting, they were still flesh and blood after all. How could they continue to climb up the city wall to fight when they were seriously injured?

"Have you noticed too?" Murong Yan turned around and asked, "These should be the Northern Kingdom's death warriors, but for some reason, they seem to feel no pain at all. Moreover, it's always these people who are attacking the city. It seems that as long as they survive, they can keep fighting."

"General, what should we do?"

General Zhang, who was standing by, was extremely anxious as he watched these soldiers falling to the ground one by one due to injuries, while the enemy soldiers were like immortal demons. Some of them even had broken limbs, but were still climbing up the city wall.

"What kind of sorcery is this? Ah Han, you have followed your master in the martial arts world for many years, have you ever heard of such a thing?" Murong Yanhui placed his hope on Yu Lihan.

Unfortunately, Yu Lihan shook his head and said, "Although I have always followed my master, I have never heard of such a secret technique in the martial arts world. However, judging from the appearance of these people, they are obviously controlled by someone. I just don't know how to break this secret technique."

Murong Yanhui also frowned. This was indeed a difficult problem. If the other party could always create monsters in this way, then their soldiers would not be able to fight against them no matter how many people they had.

"General Zhang, you have lived here for many years. Before the war between our two countries, haven't you heard of such things?"

General Zhang also shook his head with a guilty look on his face. Obviously the answer was no. Everyone was immediately embarrassed. Murong Yanhui's face was also very ugly. General Zhang was right. If a thorough solution was not found, the damage to the soldiers would only become more serious.

Murong Yanhui pondered for a moment, "Immediately pass the order down. A large reward is offered to anyone who has heard of this secret technique and knows the solution. Go and return quickly!"

"Yes!"

General Zhang left quickly. Murong Yanhui and Yu Lihan were not idle either. They personally took over the positions of several soldiers and endured the attacks of the northerners.

Soon, General Zhang brought someone up. Murong Yan looked back at the person and his expression darkened. "Lili, what are you doing here? You're really fooling around! Swords have no eyes. Get down quickly. Besides, aren't there many soldiers waiting for you to treat them?"

"General, please don't be angry. Doctor Li said she knows how to break the Northerners' magic!"

Murong Yanhui was stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances with Yu Qingli. Knowing that she seemed to know about this, he couldn't help but marvel at it. This Yu Qingli was truly an extraordinary woman. Was there anything she didn't know? He really doubted it.

"General Murong, this thing is called a human corpse. As the name suggests, it turns living people into corpses. They generally don't feel anything, not even pain. Unless they die at the time, otherwise, they will keep fighting."

"So is there a solution?"

"Indeed, there is. I have already asked someone to prepare it. As long as we sprinkle chicken blood on these people's faces, they will be able to recover."

"It's really surprising that the Northern Kingdom has such a secret technique."

Yu Qingli's expression turned serious. "In fact, this secret technique is not from the Northern Kingdom, but only from the Eastern Tang Dynasty."

Murong Yanhui was shocked when he heard this. The secret technique that originally belonged to the Eastern Tang Dynasty was actually used in the Northern Kingdom. What did this mean? Even if no one said it, everyone knew it!

It seems that this time, Canghe has indeed encountered an unprecedented crisis!

"Let's talk about this later. Let's end the current battle first!" Murong Yanhui gave the order decisively. Yu Lihan on the side also felt that this should be done. If Xiangyi City was lost now, nothing he said would be of any use.

General Zhang's efficiency was quite good. Soon, soldiers came up with buckets of chicken blood. Then, according to Yu Qingli's instructions, they took the buckets of blood and poured them directly on the Northern soldiers on the city wall.

Suddenly, screams rang out from the originally silent ladder, and the howling of ghosts and wolves was so frightening that even Cang and the soldiers felt creepy when they heard it.

The other side probably realized that the situation was not good and hastily withdrew their troops.

Murong Yanhui did not dare to relax. There were still many soldiers left on the city wall, and he had already pulled Yu Qingli back with him. The matter was of great importance, and he had to get to the bottom of it.

Only a few main generals of the army came to the commander-in-chief's camp, including Murong Yanhui, Yu Lihan, General Zhang, and Yang Cheng. Murong Feng, the military supervisor, was also invited. After all, this matter might be reported to the emperor through him.

After hearing what happened, Murong Feng was the first to ask, "Doctor Li, how did you know about this Dong Tang secret technique?"

"I practiced medicine extensively in my early years, traveling extensively with my master, and I only discovered this by chance."

"No matter how Doctor Li knew it, the key point now is that Dong Tang got involved in the war in the Northern Kingdom. Does this mean that Dong Tang also wants to annex Canghe? Maybe they have even reached a consensus and are cooperating secretly!" Yang Cheng was quite worried.

General Zhang then said, "General Yang is right. I am also worried about this!"

"Judging from the current deployment of troops, Dong Tang seems to have not yet participated in the entire war. Of course, we can't relax. Since Dong Tang's secret techniques have appeared here, there should be at least someone in the Northern Kingdom colluding with Dong Tang. This news is obviously not good for us." Yu Lihan analyzed the current situation.

"What do you think, General?"

Seeing that Murong Yanhui remained silent, everyone's eyes fell on him.

"If I want to get to the bottom of this, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the Northern Kingdom's military camp. I need to personally confirm the relationship between Dong Tang and the Northern Kingdom. Furthermore, if I don't completely eradicate it, I'm worried that the user of the secret technique will continue to create those human corpses, or that they'll use other secret techniques against us."

As soon as Murong Yan finished her reply, Yu Qingli took over and said, "The general is right. In fact, because the situation was urgent, there are some things I haven't had time to say. This method of pouring chicken blood is only a temporary solution. It can only temporarily restore the human corpses to their original nature. However, after twelve hours, those people will become human corpses again."

Everyone present was shocked. From what they heard, the monsters would be resurrected after twelve hours? This was truly a world that made people devastated.

"Doctor Li, since you know how to temporarily control those people, you should also know a way to completely solve the problem, right?"

"I do know that in order to completely render this secret technique ineffective, we must find the person who controls the corpse and allow him to access this secret technique."

"Can't we just kill him!"

"It's certainly possible to kill that man, but those who he had cast the secret spell on will continue to exist as corpses, and the orders he had previously issued will continue to be carried out."

"This is truly terrifying! I never thought that Dong Tang would possess such a cruel secret technique."

"In fact, this kind of thing is banned even in Dong Tang. So I guess things may not be as bad as we imagined. Dong Tang and Beiguo should not have formed an alliance yet!"

Yu Qingli's words made many people feel relieved, but it also made Murong Feng's eyes more suspicious. A doctor could analyze the battle situation so thoroughly. Who is this Doctor Li?

Yu Lihan also had doubts. He always felt that Doctor Li was not simple, but he made people feel inexplicably close and trustworthy. This person was really interesting.

At the same time, in the Northern General's camp, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting cross-legged. His face was thin and his eyes were almost sunken, making him look extremely creepy. In front of him was a small incense burner with sandalwood burning in it. Suddenly, the man opened his eyes wide, spat out a mouthful of blood, and extinguished the incense in the burner.

"What's wrong, sir?" Yelu Jin asked with concern.

The man's face was serious. "Your Highness! Things are not good. Someone in the enemy camp has cracked my secret technique!"

"What? There's such a thing? Didn't the master say that this secret method was passed down orally by your ancestors and it's absolutely impossible for outsiders to know it? If that's the case, how come someone in Canghe's army knows about it?"

"General, don't worry. This secret technique lasts forever. Those corpses have only regained consciousness temporarily. After twelve hours, they will become indestructible steel warriors again!"
