Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 451 Primitive Chemical Weapon Attack and Defense

Chapter [-] Primitive Chemical Weapons Offense and Defense
There are more than 100 armed servants in Zheng's other courtyard. If they are facing ordinary stupid thieves, even if they are defeated, they are enough to persist until the arrival of reinforcements.However, the people led by Chen Ying were either the masters of the fierce tiger righteousness, or the brave generals of the three armies, so the armed servants of the Zheng family's other courtyard were tragic.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there was no one in the entire Zheng's other courtyard who dared to resist.These armed servants are not fools. Since the other party dared to attack Zheng's other courtyard, they naturally don't mind killing a few people. As long as they don't resist, these men in black will not embarrass these armed servants. They were tied up with ropes, rags and smelly socks were stuffed in their mouths, and they were left in the house.Even the maids and female relatives in the other courtyard were not treated. These maids and female relatives were also tied up and locked in several spare rooms.

At this time, Zheng Anchun slowly woke up.The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a bright horizontal knife dangling in front of his neck. A man in black with a height of over eight feet and a strong figure was holding his collar with one hand. Zheng Anchun was terrified. His soul was scattered, and he screamed pitifully: "Heroic man, spare your life, heroic man, spare your life..."

Chen Ying was really worried, if Zheng Anchun heard his voice, he might really need to kill him to silence him.Chen Ying winked at Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing took off his hood.

Chen Ying was taken aback, thinking that Zhou Qing would play tricks.But seeing Zhou Qing's face clearly, Chen Ying almost laughed out loud.This Zhou Qing is too funny, he actually smeared a black mark the size of a palm on his face, and stuck a few black hairs that looked very disgusting.Zhou Qing casually flicked the horizontal knife with his fingers, while squinting at Zheng Anchun, he said, "Call the soul, and tell me to chop off your dog's head!"

Zheng Anchun trembled, tears came out of fear, he quickly shut his mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.

Zhou Qing stretched out his hand and patted Zheng Anchun's face lightly, saying: "That's right, that's right, that's the way to be good, yeah, I only want money and don't kill you, as long as you cooperate honestly, we won't touch a single hair of yours."

Zheng Anchun let out a very difficult breath, and even let out a terrified cry: "You...what do you want to do?"

Zhou Qing said: "Don't do anything, money is tight, and I want to borrow some money from you to spend..." At this point, Zhou Qing mentioned Zheng Anchun and said: "You don't want to call Yeye a beggar, remember, you only have one time. Opportunity, if you dissatisfy Yeye, you will move your head around."

Zheng Anchun knelt down at that time and lost the Zheng family's money. If he finds Zheng Rentai to accommodate him, he may still have a chance to survive, but if he doesn't cooperate with these men in black, he will lose his head immediately.For Zheng Anchun, the choice seemed not difficult, and he immediately took Chen Ying and others to Zheng's treasury.

The treasury of the Zheng family in Xin'an was hidden in an extremely concealed way. To Chen Ying's surprise, it was not in any warehouse, but in a small pavilion in the middle of the lake in the backyard.

There is a small lake about three or four acres in the backyard of Zheng's other courtyard, and there is an inconspicuous small pavilion in the center of the lake.In a flat boat, Chen Ying, Zhou Qing, Luo Shixin and a dozen people came to the small pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake in two small boats. Zheng Anchun was trembling, twisting the stone table in the pavilion.With the sound of rattling, the stone table slid to one side, and the flat floor slowly cracked to the two sides, revealing a gap that could allow one person to enter, Chen Ying's eyeballs almost popped out.

There is actually such an institution, it seems that the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated!Chen Ying walked in first.Then, his eyes widened again.

In this dark room with an area of ​​no more than twenty or thirty square meters, white silver ingots and yellow gold ingots were packed neatly and densely, at least a few thousand taels.

Without further ado, Chen Ying hurriedly found a sack to put gold or silver in it. Luo Shixin didn't value money very much, but he was more ruthless. He clasped a silver box with both hands and carried 3000 taels on his shoulders.

Chen Ying is no longer surprised. For 3000 taels of silver, one tael in the Tang Dynasty was 42 grams, and 3000 taels was 120 grams, which is about 250 five catties. Of course, the wooden box made of sandalwood, at least It was only six to seventy catties, and the whole silver box was more than three hundred catties, but looking at Luo Shixin's appearance, he didn't bother at all.

The gold and silver in the more than 100 black-clothed men in Zheng's other courtyard are really not enough for these hunks to search. All the black-clothed men are like a gust of wind. They pick up anything valuable in the mansion and leave. Even the Zheng's other courtyard The copper basins, corals, bonsai, and even the smoked venison in the kitchen were also wiped out by the gang of black-clothed thieves.

Of course, more than forty horses and more than a dozen cows in the stables in the other courtyard were also harnessed to the carts, and the fifty or sixty horse-drawn carts and ox carts were not empty. The oil was also loaded into the truck, and these black-clothed thieves not only swept away the warehouse of Zheng's other courtyard, but also wiped out the cloth, grain, hemp rope, and various agricultural tools in the warehouse. What made Zheng Anchun vomit blood the most was that this The black-clothed thieves not only emptied the treasury, but also tore off the curtains and loaded them into cars to take them away.

In Chen Ying's view, waste is a shameful thing.Curtain cloth is also cloth, and it can also be made into dozens or hundreds of sets of clothes.

Below Zheng Anchun, everyone in the entire mansion was tied up and gagged. They didn't know where the men in black transported the supplies and money, nor where they came from.The most hateful thing is that Zheng Anchun was tied up for a whole day, if a clever servant hadn't broken the hemp rope on the door frame, they didn't know how long it would have been tied up.

Chen Ying first stored his belongings in the comfort envoy Xingyuan outside Xin'an City, and then rushed to Beiman Daying overnight.Returning to Beiman Daying, Chen Ying fell asleep and went back and forth for more than 100 miles that night, carrying things and digging three feet, but Chen Ying was exhausted.

While Chen Ying was busy sleeping, Xin'an County was in chaos.

After Zheng Anchun got out of trouble, he hurriedly reported the case to Wang Wei, the magistrate of Xin'an County.Xin'an ordered Wang Wei to have nothing to do with the Taiyuan Wang family, but was very close to the Zheng family.Wang Wei's father was the treasurer of a firm in the Zheng family, and his mother was the wet nurse of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Hushi General, Quzhou Inspector, and Xiangcheng Gong Zheng Dashi in the Sui Dynasty. With the relationship between Zheng Dashi and Wang Wei, it is impossible for Wang Wei to become the magistrate of the county as the son of a concubine.

When Wang Wei learned that the other courtyard of the Zheng Mansion had been looted, he hurriedly led three classes of yamen servants to search for it, but what could he find?I asked the soldiers on duty, and found that the soldiers on duty told the truth, because Li Shimin and Wang Shichong were fighting in Luoyang City recently, and Xin'an was too close. Every day, a large number of gentry went out of the city to avoid disasters. It's all too common.

When Wang Wei was standing on the city gate and asking the soldiers on duty, he saw at least thirty or forty carts leaving Xin'an County in just a quarter of an hour.

The case of the robbery of Zheng's other courtyard in Xin'an has not yet been revealed, and a new case has emerged here. The largest grain merchant in Xin'an, the Zheng's vassal family Hu Wenyong's home in Xin'an, was also ransacked, and more than a hundred gangsters were also looted. The clothed man also beat him unconscious first, tied him up, and then emptied his house of valuables.

Wang Wei tore off a lot of his beard in a hurry, but he couldn't find any clues. This group of thieves attacked fiercely, but they didn't hurt anyone. They didn't care about meat and vegetables, and there was nothing valuable they wouldn't grab.In desperation, Wang Wei had no choice but to report the case to the appeasement envoy Chen Ying, but Chen Ying did not meet Wang Wei at all, and he was busy accompanying Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning.

In the evening, Chen Ying finally got enough sleep.But when he opened his eyes, he was taken aback. He Yue'er was sitting on the desk opposite the bed, resting his chin with his hand, and quietly looking at Chen Ying.

It took Chen Ying a long time to come back to his senses: "I know I'm handsome, so it's not like looking at me so directly? It's scary!"

Suddenly, Chen Ying felt a bit cold behind him, Chen Ying didn't have to look back, and read He Yueer's meaning from her mouth: "Pingyang!"

Chen Ying quickly turned around, and as expected, Li Xiuning was dressed in men's clothes, with narrow sleeves tight, very energetic: "San Niang, why are you here?"

"Why, I'm not welcome?"

"How dare you!" Chen Ying hurriedly said cautiously: "I hate to look at you Sanniang all the time, I want to see you in my dreams..."

Li Xiuning was very unsuitable for Chen Ying's almost straightforward words, so she hurriedly put her arms around her hair to cover up her panic: "I'm here this time...by the order of my father, I'm here to ask you something !"

"Don't talk about one thing, it's ten or a hundred. As long as I, Chen Ying, know everything!" Chen Ying said with a slight smile, "I don't know what Sanniang wants to know?"

Li Xiuning waved his hand, He Yue'er walked away knowingly, Li Xiuning smiled slightly and said: "My royal father wants to know why you were able to capture Hangu Pass in just half an hour, of course, if you are inconvenient to say it, you don't have to say it! "

Chen Yingdao: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just the smoke tactics!"

"Smoke?" Li Xiuning is neither a flower in a greenhouse nor a novice who doesn't understand military affairs. She frowned and said, "It's impossible to have such powerful poisonous smoke."

"Smoke tactics" can be interpreted as the precedent of "poison gas warfare" in later generations.However, due to the limited level of science and technology, the poisonous gas produced cannot be as powerful as the poisonous gas of later generations. The main function it can play is "fumigation." That is, to fumigate people in a certain area within a certain period of time, and then attack the city It is convenient to take the opportunity to climb the wall and seize the city, and it plays a role of cooperation. Even so, considering the technological level of the times, it is already a very powerful move.If ladders, climbing troops, and catapults can keep up.It will likely cause a great crisis to the city defenders.

Li Xiuning naturally knows about smoke, but the power of smoke is definitely not as powerful as that of Chen Ying.Even though the defenders couldn't see things and couldn't use bows and arrows to suppress the enemy's approach, if the enemy standing on the city wall refused to retreat, both sides would be in the smoke. In fact, it was a situation where no one could do anything to the other.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "As long as you put it bluntly, it is actually worthless. The dry grass is used as the inside to facilitate burning, and the wet grass is used as the surface to produce thick smoke. If poisonous weeds are mixed in, it will be even more powerful. The wolfbane grass horse will have loose bowels after eating, but if it is smoked and smoked, plus arsenic and asphalt, if it is inhaled too much, the mouth and nose will bleed. If the smoke is not avoided in time, fainting or sudden death may also occur. .”
