Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 89
poisonous insect……

Su Yuan looked at the object in Zhen Miao's palm, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Zhen Miao said with a serious expression: "I found this from the well. This thing will emit a strange miasma when it comes into contact with water. Although it is not much, it will cause great damage to the human body."

"Whether ordinary people drink polluted water or absorb a large amount of this miasma, they will probably suffer from sores like these soldiers."

Su Yuan listened, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the bug, threw it to the ground and stomped it down!
"Pfft..."

The poisonous insect was trampled to death by him, and the light green juice flowed out slowly.

Zhen Miao looked at Su Yuan, whose face was ice-cold, as if containing great anger.

"Great Master, there may be more than one bug here."

"Well, I'm just afraid that you're worried, so I'll grab one and explain it to you first." Zhenmiao said, "Xiao Yuan, don't be afraid, it's fine to inhale a little bit of this miasma."

"I'm not afraid, please, Grand Master, catch and kill the other bugs as soon as possible!"

"it is good."

Zhen Miao went to catch the worm, while Su Yuan walked up to a summoned soldier.

He tried to give orders, and it could be seen that even though the summoned soldiers did not feel pain or itching, their bodies were still mortal bodies, and they were also deeply affected by the poison.

The most intuitive manifestation is that their movements have become slower and their strength has also decreased a lot, not at all like Kong Wu's powerful Xiliang iron cavalry in the past.

Summoning soldiers does not need to drink water. They should not be infected by drinking poisonous water, but by inhaling a large amount of toxic miasma.

Su Yuan also knew a thing or two about this miasma.

In the depths of some tropical forests, after some animals and plants die, their corpses decompose and breed a large number of microorganisms, which can easily form miasma when triggered by sultry weather.

Some miasmas just smell bad and are not poisonous.Some are so highly toxic that animals die soon after inhaling them.

Right now, what these soldiers at Tianmenguan are suffering is a kind of chronic miasma poison.

Su Yuan looked at the abscess on the soldier's body, and for the first time, besides being angry, he also had some palpitations.

What if these were not summoned soldiers? If they were real soldiers, I am afraid that many people would have committed suicide in the unbearable pain.

Even, what if the poisonous insect enters the water source of Taiyuan City?
A layer of cold sweat oozes from Su Yuan's forehead, if the person who released the poisonous insects has entered Taiyuan, if...

"No, it's not right. Grand Master has been in Taiyuan during this time, if there is poisonous miasma, she would have noticed it!"

If Zhenmiao could find something was wrong immediately after arriving at Tianmen Pass, then if there was a similar situation in Taiyuan, he would naturally be able to notice it immediately.

Since there is no such thing now, it proves that Taiyuan has not been poisoned yet.To be precise, it has not been received yet.

If the guy who used poison is lurking in Taiyuan at this moment, who knows when a big poison will explode.

At that time, Su Yuan himself may not have any accidents under Zhen Miao's protection, but ordinary people will be in danger.

The consequences were simply unimaginable.

Just as Su Yuan was thinking, Zhao Yun also came back.

"My lord, there seems to be poisonous gas spreading in Guancheng!"

"Zilong, can you feel it too?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Yun nodded, "My inner body strength has been eroded by the poisonous gas. Although it is very slight, it is very dangerous to ordinary soldiers."

"You're right, these guards have already been recruited!"

Su Yuan felt a little heartbroken. Even if these sores were summoned soldiers, he would definitely not give up.

But keeping them out now, I don't know if the toxicity will be further aggravated, so Su Yuan simply used the All Heavens Soldiers Talisman to take these soldiers in.

At this time, Zhen Miao also came back from the outside, and nodded slightly to Su Yuan's eyes.

"It's all cleared up."

"hateful……"

Su Yuan was very annoyed by this kind of conspiracy, but he couldn't find the poisoner right away.

Moreover, the top priority now is to stabilize the defense.

He took back all the [-] soldiers guarding the gate before, but now the poisonous insects are dead, but the water source has been polluted. If Niu Yuhong leads real soldiers, what will happen if there is no water to drink.

"I need to see a map!"

In Su Yuan's memory, there seems to be a lake on the mountains on both sides of Tianmen Pass. If it is not polluted, it should be temporarily used as a clean water source.

In addition, the defense of Tianmen Pass...

"Great Master, will the residual miasma in the air still harm the soldiers?"

"No, the root cause has been removed, and the miasma will dissipate quickly. As long as the miasma is no longer breeding, it will not constitute a poisoning dose."

Although Zhen Miao is not proficient in the way of poison, she has seen many kinds of poisons, and she has a general understanding after going back and forth.

In addition, she reads ancient books in her spare time all year round, so she has dabbled in various aspects, and she is not a martial idiot who knows everything except practice.

"That's good." Su Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and then chose to summon the uninfected Xiliang cavalry to come out.

Seeing the soldiers appearing out of nowhere amidst the flashing light, Zhen Miao couldn't help opening his mouth.

In fact, she had known for a long time that some of Su Yuan's soldiers were weird. They seemed to be living people, but they always felt inhuman.

She also heard Yang Zhen, the chief steward of the palace, say that Su Yuan is a god who came down to earth and possessed unpredictable magic skills.

Although Zhen Miao was curious, he never asked.

But right now, seeing Su Yuan summon "soldiers" out of thin air with a mysterious method, she still couldn't stabilize her mind.

She really has never heard of or seen this kind of strange art.

Su Yuan didn't think about it so much, he subconsciously regarded Zhen Miao as an absolutely reliable person, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with calling soldiers in front of her.

Maybe after knowing it, you will feel a little reckless, but it doesn't hurt.

After the soldiers were summoned, they placed them in various places for defense, and then Su Yuan and Tong Zhen went up to the mountain. After making sure that the water source on the mountain was not polluted, he felt relieved.

And when they returned, Li Shengtian's army of fighting against the North had already appeared in the sky.

The flags are flying, and the array is solemn.

The 45 troops marched side by side in the formation of several phalanxes, and the darkness was overwhelming, like a large group of dark clouds coming from afar.

Su Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the army.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this army is the most powerful army he has ever faced. It is equipped with various types of arms, as well as equipment such as siege vehicles, ladders, and catapults.

The number of people is even more terrifying, 45, which is really an exaggerated concept.

You know, the total population of Mozhou is only over 100 million!
This army almost reached half of Mozhou.

Seeing the army approaching, Su Yuan suddenly realized a problem.

"Li Shengtian, do you know that my defenders have been poisoned?"

This is a question, and the answer is obvious.

Must know!
Otherwise, why would the poisoner do this?
If it was just to assassinate him, Su Yuan, there would be no reason to poison the soldiers guarding the Tianmen Gate.Now that it has been downloaded, it means that it is to make it easier to win the level.

This meant that Li Shengtian must have known about it.

In a flash, Su Yuan decided to follow suit.

He immediately made arrangements.

In the distance, Li Shengtian was riding on a horse, looking at Tianmenguan City from afar.

He didn't know if Fu Chengyang's "poisoning" was successful.Originally, he planned to send out scouts to investigate first, but Tianmen Pass was heavily guarded. He sent out more than a dozen scouts in a row, but none of them came back.

There is no other way, but to abandon the investigation and directly pull the army out to do real work with real swords and guns.

Outside the Tianmen Pass, there is a wide horse farm with no shelter, so there is no room for tactics such as lure soldiers, flanking ambushes, and the like.

After Li Shengtian approached Tianmen Pass with the army, he could already see the soldiers on the tower.

They also began to throw and shoot arrows high into the air.

"shield!"

The soldiers holding up the wooden shields raised their shields to block the arrows one after another, but to their surprise, there was very little sound of arrows being inserted into the wooden shields.

They quietly looked through the gap, and found that many arrows landed a few feet in front of them, and there was a distance from them.

This obviously shouldn't be, because they have entered the throwing range of the bow and arrow.

At this distance, there was no reason why so many arrows would miss the shield.

unless……

Li Shengtian from behind saw this scene, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Unless the defenders are affected by the poison and their strength is exhausted, they can't draw the full bow and shoot long arrows!"

As soon as this thought appeared, Li Shengtian suddenly felt that the opportunity had arrived.

He is a person who does not give up any chance, and immediately ordered: "Build a ladder to attack the city! The first climber will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and will be promoted to three levels!"

"kill!!!"

The sound of shouting and killing sounded, and the front row of shield soldiers withdrew, and a group of people behind carried the ladder and rushed forward, followed by the elite infantry, that is, the first to climb the dead.

These infantrymen were all brave and good at fighting, and they were not afraid of death, so Li Shengping let them attack first.

If you choose a group of weak soldiers and use them as cannon fodder, it will seriously damage morale, and the gains outweigh the losses.

despair!
despair!
despair!
A ladder crashed on the city wall of Tianmenguan, and the dead soldiers who climbed first did not wait for the ladder to be stable, and rushed to climb up.

All of them had red eyes and panted with their mouths wide open, as if they were using this method to overcome their fear.

To their delight, the defenders this time seemed to be incapable. At first they thought that Tianmen Pass would be difficult to attack and many people would die, but now it is different from what they imagined.

Twenty or thirty ladders have already been built, and they have already climbed two-thirds of the city wall quickly, and they are about to go up.

As long as you go up, you can get a hundred gold and military merits, it's so easy!

The first climbers thought, the fastest one of them was already coming to the top of the city wall.

But in the next second, a stone fell from the top of his head.

"Boom!"

Before the man recovered his senses, his brain shook, and his body fell down, knocking down the two people below him by the way.

This one stone seemed to kick off the curtain. Immediately afterwards, a large number of heads appeared on the city wall, and everyone held the stone in their hands and smashed it down.

In an instant, a rain of stones began, and hundreds of boulders fell from the sky. In just a few tens of seconds, more than a hundred people died first.

In addition, a large number of arrows were also shot from the tower again. This time the arrows were full of strength, which was completely different from the previous round. Hundreds of people were shot and killed in a short time.

Although the archers of the Northern Army have been shooting arrows all the time, it is much more difficult to shoot upwards than downwards.Moreover, the Bei'an archers on the city tower were all in full body armor, and some arrows that were not powerful enough would bounce off them, and they could not cause any damage at all.

Something went wrong in an instant, and Li Shengtian from afar was also taken aback when he saw this situation.

He looked at the Xiandeng dead soldiers falling from the sky, and then at the Bei'an soldiers who were throwing stones down.

...Where is this a manifestation of poisoning and weakness?
Who can lift several big stones and throw them down in a row when he is poisoned and weak!

"Oops!"

Li Shengtian immediately realized that he had been deceived, and quickly asked the forward to play a semaphore and shout loudly.

"Quickly retreat! Temporarily retreat!!"
