"Squeak~" With a sharp friction sound, a strange-shaped car was pushed out from the forest by a group of natives. It was said that it was a car, but in fact it was a flat plate with four wheels. The wheels were not round, and the things on the car were also very simple. The most conspicuous was a long pole. Li Xiu looked familiar, but he seemed to have seen this thing somewhere.

"This... seems to be a catapult, right?" Li Xiu looked at the car getting closer and closer, and asked with some uncertainty. The catapult is almost the standard equipment in the army. Although this thing is very bulky, it is an indispensable weapon in siege battles, and sometimes it is easier to use than a bed crossbow. However, the catapult created by these uncivilized natives in front of him was too ugly, and Li Xiu was a little afraid to recognize it for a while.

"Although it's a bit ugly, it's indeed a catapult. But these natives wouldn't think that we can defeat our city with just a primitive catapult, right?" Zhang Shiyi also spoke at this time. They also have catapults, and there are many on the top of the city. After all, this thing can not only be used to attack the city, but also very useful when defending the city.

Just when Li Xiu and the others were confused, the natives had already pulled the catapult to the opposite city, but the distance was a little close. It seemed that their catapult was not far away. If it were placed on the battlefield, Zhang Shiyi should have let his catapult fire first and eliminate the other party's catapult. However, the other party had only one catapult, which made Zhang Shiyi not care about it at all. He just prepared the people on the city, and then looked at the fun of these natives with a smile.

"Huh? What do these natives carry? It doesn't seem to be stones?" At this moment, Li Xiu suddenly shouted in surprise, because the shells of the catapults are usually stones or blocks of earth, and the higher ones use pots filled with tinted oil. However, at the level of natives, at most they can throw some stones or the like. However, what he didn't expect was that the things carried by the natives behind did not look like stones.

"Those are... corpses!" Zhang Shiyi looked sharp and saw the things carried by the natives at once. This made him stunned at first, then looked at Li Xiu, and then they screamed almost at the same time, "No, these natives are weird!"

If you use up stones and other things prepared in advance on the battlefield, you will sometimes throw the corpse into the city as shells. However, like the natives in front of you, you will throw the corpse as soon as you come up, which is definitely strange. Moreover, Li Xiu remembered that the native leader just now said that people in their tribe had a strange disease, which made him think of the plague the first time.

Not only Li Xiu thought of this, Zhang Shiyi also thought of the above. At that moment, he almost screamed and issued an order: "The catapult is ready, launch, and launch all of them. You must not let the other party throw things into the city!"

The people on the city were not stupid either. They were also busy preparing for the catapult. There were even two crossbows that were pulled apart by several big men. The long arrows that were astonished as the javelin were placed in the crossbow trough. Then they had a heavy hammer, and the long crossbow arrows flew away like lightning ships.

However, the pirates under Zhang Shiyi were not regular troops after all, and the weapons used by the crossbows and other weapons were all old equipment that the Tang army had long eliminated. Not only was it troublesome to use, but it was not too accurate. As a result, the crossbow arrows that flew out only shot through a few natives, but did not hurt the opponent's catapult at all. When the catapult on the wall was ready, the opponent had cut off the rope. As a result, a "bang" sound, a corpse of unknown origin had flew into the air and fell accurately into the wall. Although it did not hurt people, these corpses were not intended to smash people.

Seeing this, Li Xiu couldn't help feeling cold, but the natives had only one chance. At this time, the catapults on the city also began to show their power, and they used burning pots. Although the accuracy was also very problematic, they could not hold up the number. There were always a few cans on the catapults of the natives, and then a fire broke out, burning the catapults of the natives into ashes.

However, the natives had already achieved their goal. With the shout of the other leader, all the natives turned around and fled, and disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye. This made Zhang Shiyi on the top of the city look gloomy. No matter what, he did not expect that he would be put on by these natives.

"Please burn the corpse, and no one is allowed to get close!" Zhang Shiyi immediately ordered. This was also the only way he could remedy. At the same time, he had some extravagant hope that the natives would throw a corpse just to retaliate against themselves with the so-called "curse", rather than throwing a corpse that had been infected with the plague into their own city!

"Wait a minute, I think we should first figure out the origin of this corpse, so that even if there is any change in the future, we can still deal with it!" Li Xiu suddenly spoke and stopped him. He was not as stunning and lucky as Zhang Shiyi. He even believed that the corpse thrown in by the natives must have plagues, but there are many types of plagues. If they could know which plague it was in advance, they might have a way to deal with it.

"This..." Zhang Shiyi showed a hesitant expression when he heard this. Although he knew that Li Xiu was a famous miracle doctor in the Tang Dynasty, it was not the Central Plains after all. The humid and hot climate of Liuqiu Island was more likely to cause various plagues. If you accidentally cause the destruction of the entire city, the most important thing is that he did not want Li Xiu to take this risk. He was even thinking about leaving with Li Xiu first, so as not to get infected with the plague and even unable to escape.

"Okay, Brother Eleven, don't worry too much. Even if there is a plague, there is not no treatment, let alone a corpse. I'm afraid you are not willing to give up this stronghold, right?" Li Xiu smiled again and said, as long as the prevention and control is done properly, he may not necessarily get infected with the plague, not to mention that even the most powerful plague, smallpox, has been conquered. For example, he and Zhang Shiyi have already planted cowpox.

Seeing Li Xiu's firm attitude, Zhang Shiyi had to nod and call the doctor in the village at the same time. Then a group of people came to the site of the corpse. Everyone in the village knew that there must be something wrong with the corpse, so no one dared to approach for a while. Finally, Li Xiu asked someone to take a jar of strong wine, soak one in it in a cloth towel, and then cover it on his mouth and nose. It could barely be considered disinfected to prevent bacteria from entering from the respiratory tract.

This was a blackened corpse. The doctor in the village seemed very scared, but at this time he gritted his teeth and leaned forward, then carefully looked at the characteristics of the corpse. Before Li Xiu could see anything, the doctor was trembling all over, and he staggered and took a few steps back, with a look of horror on his face.
