Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 148
At night, a figure quietly followed the team and sneaked into a warehouse on the city wall's defense line. It was Chu Nan Gong who used illusions to cover himself to sneak in.

"Hundreds of refined steel!"

He took out an arrow from the bundle of arrows he brought in and tapped the clear arrow with his fingers. Even Chu Nan Gong's state of mind was shocked.

Because there are too many arrows here, hundreds of thousands of them, if they are all made of fine steel arrows, Chu will have to pay a heavy price if they want to win this war.

You must know that Baiyue has obtained a large number of crossbows from the Korean army. If paired with such indestructible fine steel arrows, the Chu army's armor will definitely be difficult to withstand.

He did know that Baiyue transported a lot of iron ore and charcoal into that mountain city. He originally thought it was just Korean iron-making, but who would have thought it was steel-making.

Baiyue is going to defy heaven!
"It's going to be hard!"

Sighing, Chu Nangong turned and left.

It's not that he didn't want to destroy those arrows in the past, but when he came here, only a small part was transported, and most of them had been distributed to the city wall.

Secondly, those arrows are coated with special materials for fire prevention, so it is not easy to ignite them.

Thirdly, he does not have the means to set fire on a large scale, and he can't burn much if he wants to, which is of no practical value to the entire war.

All that can be done now is to hurry over and inform Xiang Yan and Chun Shenjun so that they can make plans early.

The marching speed of the Chu army is still very good. It has already reached several miles to the south of the mountain city. Chu Nangong easily saw the commander-in-chief Xiang Yan in the tent of the Chinese army, as well as the assistant Chun Shenjun and others. .

"Can Baiyue be able to create such fine steel?"

Xiang Yan looked solemn after receiving the fine steel arrow brought back by Chu Nan Gong.

He knew that Baiyue was built by the remnants of the Yue Kingdom and inherited the sword-making skills of the Yue Kingdom. However, over the years, Baiyue has not had a sword-smithing master, nor has it forged famous swords. Who would have thought that Baiyue was studying the skills of Baiyue Steel-making? Law.

Not even their Chu country has mastered this method.

"Although it's still not as good as real hundred-refined steel, it's very brittle, but it's very strong, and the sharpness it sharpens is no worse than a sword."

Duke Nan of Chu was also very worried that this battle would not be easy to fight.

"poisonous?"

Chun Shenjun on the side noticed that the color of the arrow was wrong and realized that it might be poisoned.

"It's a deadly poison that was made from the swamp where the Yamaki snake lives. It seals its throat when it sees blood."

Nodding his head, Chu Nangong has been seeing Baiyue all this time and knows a lot of things.

These words changed the faces of everyone present, especially those with high strength.

They had previously thought about whether they could imitate Baiyue's decapitation tactics, gathering strong men to attack the opponent's vital points, and cooperate with the army inside and outside to break through Baiyue's defense line.

Who would have thought that they have such a powerful weapon, not only steel arrows that are as sharp as swords, but also crossbows from South Korea, and now they are smeared with blood-seeking throat-sealing poison, if they are shot, they will not die Gotta waste.

Baiyue's poison technique is terrifying. The previous South Korean army fell into poison technique, and they didn't dare to be careless.

With this kind of killer weapon, even if all the masters gather and sneak in, they will be dead. Obviously, Baiyue is guarding against them.

"We can only fight head-on."

Xiang Yan said dejectedly, this time it was a siege battle, not a field battle on the plains. There was not much room for tactical battles, and the biggest advantage of their Chu army was abolished.

"Father, we can divide our forces and go northward to enter Baiyue and attack from the rear. We can break through Baiyue's defense line by working together from the inside and outside."

A boy sitting at the bottom suddenly suggested that it was Xiang Chao, the eldest son of Xiang Yan.

"It is possible to break through the Baiyue defense line with this method, but it is difficult to completely wipe out the Baiyue thieves. They are likely to retreat early and disperse into the entire Baiyue.

The complex terrain there is not conducive to our army's deployment. It will take at least several years to clean it up, but our food and grass can last for half a year at most, and the king will not allow us to lead troops to fight outside for several years. "

Shaking his head and vetoing it, Xiang Yan also thought about that method, but he quickly denied it.

War is fought in all aspects. We must not only pay attention to the enemy, but also to ourselves and behind us.

The destruction of Baiyue this time was not what the king meant, and he had little interest in it. Although he successfully led the army to fight with the help of Xiangguo Chunshen Jun and expanded the army size to 20, it also made the king feel a little bit more. dissatisfied.

This is a very dangerous hidden danger. Once something goes wrong, it may brew into a catastrophe. They have to take many things into consideration.

"General Xiang, Baiyue has colluded with Luo Wang. One of the representatives sent by Luo Wang this time is the person who rescued Qin's hostage from Zhao. This person is good at digging tunnels. Quietly, a tunnel hundreds of feet long was dug out.

The other party has dug a tunnel in the belly of that mountain city. I'm afraid there will be a conspiracy. The general needs to take precautions early. "

Wei Wuji, who had been observing the steel arrow, suddenly reminded him that he still remembered the failure of Zhao Guodu last time, and lost the famous sword worker Bu that time.

"This general will order that mountain city to be demolished. Our army's trebuchets are short of catapults!"

Nodding to Wei Wuji, Xiang Yan had already been prepared for this. He would demolish the entire mountain city. No matter what Baiyue arranged there, it would not work.

"Pass down our military order, the whole army will cultivate for three days, and after three days, they will attack the mountain city."

Xiang Yan stood up and shouted to the messenger outside that their army was marching in a hurry. At this moment, they were sleepy and exhausted. It was not suitable to start a battle immediately. They had to recuperate for a few days.

At the same time, Tian Hao and the others were standing on the platform at the top of the mountain city, using binoculars to observe the endless tents several miles away.

"Your Highness, it's very cold at night, it's time to give some warmth to the guests who came from afar."

Putting down the telescope, Tian Hao looked at Tianze beside him.

Hearing these words, Parrot Song couldn't help but roll his eyes. Are you ashamed to say it's cold in this hot night?
"I hope they like the first gift I sent!"

Tian Ze grinned ferociously, and immediately picked up a huge stainless steel bow that was leaning against the side, put a spear that had been prepared a long time ago on it, exerted force with both arms, and the bow string was pulled hard.

Yan Lingji stepped forward and lit the fuse on the spear, with dozens of fire brimstones tied to it.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

With his fingers released, the bow string pushed the spear into the air quickly. When it reached a certain level, the fuse ignited the fire and sulfur stone, exploding into pieces of fire like fireworks, which was very eye-catching in the dark night.

The hilltop where the mountain city is located is not short, it is over a hundred feet high. Now the fire sulfur stone has been shot up by Tianze to a height of hundreds of feet, and can be seen within dozens of miles.

The Baiyue soldiers ambushing in the south resolutely ignited the kerosene that had been scattered a long time ago, allowing the fire to spread instantly.

Looking from the top of the mountain city, a line of fire was formed a few miles outside the camp of the Chu State army, surrounding the entire Chu State camp.

This is the plan that Tian Hao and others have set up long ago to clear the fields. Chu State still has large-scale chariots and brings a lot of cattle and horses. These cattle and horses need a lot of forage to feed.

Once the grasslands and forests in a radius of more than ten miles are burned up, these cattle and horses will instead become a burden for the Chu army.

"when!"

Just when everyone's attention fell on that line of fire, the spear shot by Tianze suddenly fell and hit someone's helmet with precision.

Tian Hao, who had suffered an unparalleled disaster, looked up at the night sky in confusion, then at the spear that landed on the ground, and finally at Tianze, his eyes full of resentment.

You did it on purpose!

The people around couldn't help laughing, and Yan Lingji couldn't help laughing even more, and even held her stomach in the end, obviously her stomach hurt from laughing, and then it was a tragedy.

Seeing that his slave dared to laugh at him as the master, Tian Hao popped out a charged steel needle, causing the girl to fall to the ground convulsively, her eyes rolled up and her mouth was foaming, she was very embarrassed.

Ignoring everyone's strange eyes, the refreshed Tian Hao continued to wait and see the ever-expanding line of fire.

The army of Chu State also discovered the fire lines around them. Xiang Yan and the others ran out of the barracks to a nearby mountain. Looking at the large circle of fire, their complexions immediately changed, and they guessed the other party's intentions.

This is to destroy all the vegetation within a radius of more than ten miles, and even temporarily pollute the water source with the help of the burning plant ash, which is too vicious.

"Send the order to go back and dispatch the entire army to stockpile fresh water and grass as soon as possible, and send people to clear the vegetation outside the camp to prevent the fire from spreading to the camp."

Giving the order with a gloomy face, Xiang Yan could only react passively now, because they were using a conspiracy, and even if he saw through it, he could only continue.

But this is not over yet. According to the information sent back by Chu Nan Gong, the area to the north of the mountain city has long been treated by the Baiyue people. It is relatively dry and it is difficult to dig out water. It has also been sprinkled with a lot of poison. Even if a well is dug, it will most likely be poisonous water that cannot be drunk, so we can only store a lot of clean water and bring it in when the time comes.

Now even the fodder has to be cut off by the other party, and it is crazy to clear the wild areas with vertical walls to this extent.

"They're pushing us to make a quick fix, or wear us down."

Chun Shenjun said, feeling very gloomy about this.

The other party is too ruthless, it is crazy to destroy forests and mountains on such a large scale.

If they waited until they entered Baiyue, would those lunatics burn Baiyue directly and die with them?

"I didn't think it would take too long."

Xiang Yan still has confidence in the Chu army.

The people he brought this time were all real elites who had been on the battlefield, far beyond what Baiyue's civilians wearing armor could compare to.

Once a war begins, the gap between the two sides will be reflected.

Not to mention that with the four major legions as trump cards, even if Qin really sent an army to support Baiyue, he would still be able to win.

Under Xiang Yan's order, the Chu army moved into action, those who mowed the grass and those who fetched water.

It's just that the army has traveled a long distance, and now they have to work so hard, and thick smoke drifts over from time to time, making it impossible to sleep well.

In the end, because the fire spread, the temperature in the vicinity increased significantly, making the already hot temperature even hotter, it was difficult to fall asleep, and the mental state and physical condition were quite bad.

After three days and three nights of tossing like this, although Xiang Yan could see that the soldiers in the army were not in good condition, he could only move forward first.

It must be entered as soon as possible, and then set up camp inside, advancing steadily step by step, crushing all means of the opponent.

There is a saying that water and fire are the most ruthless. Even in the past life, there was no good way to deal with floods and fires, let alone this ancient time.

Therefore, Xiang Yan and others had no idea of ​​sending people to fight the fire at all, because that was unrealistic.

Not to mention the Chu State's army, even if the Baijia Army were brought over, they would not put out the fire. After all, the Baijia Army were also human beings and their skills were limited.

Even though the Chu army had 20 soldiers and [-] civilians, they were nothing more than ants in front of this kind of fire.

Tian Hao and the others were still watching the Chu army's response from the top of the mountain city, just watching quietly.

"This will not hurt the Chu army."

Bai Ye was not optimistic about this kind of fire, as it would not cause any real harm to the Chu army.

"But it will affect morale. The Chu army is a tired army. Now that it is affected by such a fire, the morale of a big country will inevitably be broken. This is very important.

If we are blocked one after another in the next war, morale will decline further, and we will collapse completely when we reach the final resort. "

Sima Jin explained. He also knew that this method could not cause casualties to the Chu army, but he never thought of using this method to injure the Chu army. The point is to hit the morale of the opponent.

Morale is important to warfare, even more so than good weaponry.

Sometimes in a war, the battle is all about morale!

"Have you cultivated the skill of observing words and emotions to the second level?"

Heixia Six Fingers suddenly asked, he also practiced the special skill of observing words and emotions, the effect is very good, and it has greatly improved his own strength.

"We have reached the limit of the first floor, and we will be able to reach the second floor in a few days."

Taking down the binoculars, he used his own eyesight to see the camp of the Chu State several miles away. Tian Hao was also very satisfied with the effect of this exercise.

After completing the first level of observing words and colors, his eyesight has been strengthened several times, and he can clearly see the movement of a bug even hundreds of meters away, which is much stronger than before simply using skills to strengthen his eyes.

It is indeed a farmer’s secret.

The most important thing is that this secret technique can also condense and use spiritual power to help them see through illusions and other means, and can be better used to surround and kill illusion masters like Chu Nan Gong.

Tianze and others are also very satisfied with and value this kind of exercise, and it is also very effective in improving their own strength.

"Everyone has already reached the third level of training!"

Yan Lingji, who had just been tidied up, jumped out again to show her presence, and proudly raised her delicate chin.

She has already mastered the Fire Charm Technique, which can be regarded as a way to train her eyes. Coupled with the mental strength exercised by the Fire Charm Technique, using this as a foundation to practice can be said to be twice the result with half the effort. It is like a divine help, and she has easily been promoted to the third level. layer.

However, this is already her limit. The help brought by the Fire Charm Technique has been exhausted, and she can only practice honestly.

But fortunately she has surpassed that bad master, happy!
Of course, while showing off, Yan Lingji did not forget to take precautions. She did not want to be attacked by the insidious bad master again, and even activated the power of observing words and emotions for this purpose, with a faint golden light shining in her eyes.

However, this time Tian Hao didn't react at all, he was still watching the Chu Army camp in the distance, and even communicated with the Hundred Poison King.

"Brother Poison after the war, your manpower must follow up as soon as possible. Even if so many people lose their armor, it is still a huge threat."

He solemnly confessed to the King of Hundred Poisons that he could not let the 20 Chu army and [-] civilians survive intact. He had to add some weaknesses like the previous Korean army.

The effect of that kind of snake venom is very useful. If you really want to be disobedient on a large scale, you can use fireworks to fumigate it, and wait until the land of the Western Regions is really settled, and then cure it with an antidote, which is also a layer of insurance.

This kind of preparation is firstly to avoid trouble, and secondly, it is for the benefit of these people.

You must know that the Qin State is very harsh towards foreigners. It's okay to be obedient, but if you are disobedient, there is only one word, kill!

Although these people are captives, as long as they dare to resist, they are no longer captives, but enemy soldiers, and there is no taboo to kill them.

Those are good laborers for him to occupy the territory in the Western Region in the future, and they cannot be destroyed in the hands of some people with abnormal minds.

Of course, even though it is poisonous, there must be an antidote for this, and the price to be paid for detoxification can also be lower.

"It's already ready!"

The King of Baidu laughed strangely, he would not refuse such a thing. After all, the Chu army came to invade their Baiyue enemies. It would be the greatest kindness not to kill them. How could they let them escape in good health? .

After dealing with the South Korean army last time, there was still a bit of snake venom left, which happened to be used as a medicine to refine this poison, but the preparation of the antidote was a bit troublesome.

"Brother, don't always smile so darkly. We are positive characters, and you are the hero of Baiyue. In the future, students must be recruited to study the art of poisoning. Also, this suit must be changed, and the hairstyle must also be changed. .

Take a look at General Ji, he is not a good person, but he can look mighty and domineering when he wears armor..."

Looking at the appearance of the King of Poisons and the sinister smile, Tian Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The painting style of a villain like the King of Hundred Poisons who is exposed is too low-level. You must know that the real villains pay attention to their image, and some are even more decent than decent characters.

Look at those Ph.D.s, CEOs, and CEOs who studied T-virus in Resident Evil. Which one of them doesn’t look like a human being?
Even if you don't talk about those foreign goods, just look at Ouyang Feng from Xidu, and Ding Chunqiu from Xingxiu School, they are all quite chic.

"Brother Xing is right. I will wear a new outfit after this battle is over."

Looking down at himself, the Hundred Poison King thought about it and felt that he had to change his painting style.

After all, he is now the hero of Baiyue. He was the first to take down the Korean army. It is indeed a bit awkward to show people in this image.

Listening to the conversation between the two on the other side, the Six-Fingered Black Man sighed in his heart, but did not stop it because he knew that was the best outcome.

Otherwise, if those people really want to resist after the war, especially if they go to Qin to resist, according to Qin's practice, they will all be killed.

It's better to suffer a little like this than lose your life.

"We also have to go back and make final preparations."

Finally taking a look at the busy Chu army camp over there, Tianze turned and left, and everyone followed suit.

There is nothing to see here, just waiting for the Chu army to come over.

Yan Lingji didn't think anything of it and followed the others back naturally. However, after taking only two steps, she felt a pain in her back. At the same time, a familiar numbness swept through her whole body. She also fell to the ground with a thud, face first. kind of.

Everyone looked at Yan Lingji who was twitching all over, foaming at the mouth, rolling her eyes up, and then looked at someone with an expressionless face, all of them were speechless.

Tian Hao stepped forward with a blank expression, lifted Yan Lingji up and carried it on his shoulders, and walked down the mountain. At the same time, he did not forget to continue to provide electrotherapy services to the girl, and also used steel needles as a medium, all of which were pierced there to make her more perky The girl's symptoms continued, and her body would even stiffen and tremble from time to time.

The expressions of everyone watching this scene became more and more strange, and Yingge and Bai Ye couldn't help shivering, as if recalling the fear of being dominated once.

That bastard is too insidious, too despicable, too shameless, too evil...
