Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 150 Zodiac Art of War
Not to mention the many plans of Tian Hao and Baiyue, on the other side, after the day's offensive, the Chu army had no choice but to return to the original camp to repair. Xiang Yan and others also returned to the Chinese army's tent to discuss how to deal with it.

"General, I suggest you use kerosene, otherwise the fight will be endless."

After arguing for a while, a veteran with higher qualifications came forward to make a proposal, so that the quarreling generals could barely calm down.

Xiang Yan didn't respond immediately, she was frowning and thinking hard.

He naturally knows that kerosene combined with trebuchets is the best weapon to crack that kind of fortification, but the kerosene he brought is aimed at the last city wall of Baiyue and the Baiyue King City. How to quickly break through that city wall?
Fill it with human life?

It's just that it's too difficult to crack that kind of fortification without using kerosene.

In today's initial contact alone, [-] soldiers were killed and [-] wounded. This shows how difficult those fortifications are.

And he guessed that the other party should do this on purpose, just to induce them to use fire oil in advance.

Everyone was silent, quietly waiting for Xiang Yan's decision.

Just when Xiang Yan was pondering and hesitating, he seemed to hear something and his expression changed slightly. After being silent for a while, he stood up.

"My military order is to cut down trees to make barrels and mix kerosene with water to save kerosene and destroy the fortifications of the Baiyue thieves to the maximum extent."

"The last general takes orders!"

The generals withdrew and mobilized soldiers to cut down trees in the mountains.

Although the previous fire burned the forest, the fresh trees were not so easy to burn out, so it happened that these charred trees were cut down and brought back to make wooden barrels.

Moreover, many parts of the trebuchet were damaged by the opponent's crossbow during the battle during the day, requiring a batch of wood to be replaced and repaired.

After the soldiers left, Xiang Yan bowed to his side and said, "I'll leave this battle to Nangong!"

It was Nangong who had just transmitted the message to him and decided to use the kerosene in advance.

This time, I collected nearly all the kerosene from the whole country, and mixed it with clean water, which was enough to destroy the fortifications of Baiyue.

"Old man, I am the life of toil!"

Chu Nangong sighed and thumped his back and sat down, looked at the map and said, "I can only secretly destroy the trebuchets and bed crossbows placed on the Baiyue city wall before the last day, and you need to lead people to attack the city wall.

Moreover, those Baiyue people are using stones and soil to reinforce and heighten the city wall day and night, and it is not easy to break through it. "

"As long as there is no threat of equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows, breaking the city will only take an instant."

Xiang Yan was very confident that without the threat of those two weapons, the four legions could attack the city with shields and ignore the crossbows and arrows fired by Baiyue.

At the same time, they used trebuchets and bed crossbows to help cover the soldiers' siege of the city, and together with the experts gathered on their side, it was easy to take down the city wall.

"Don't be careless, Tianze and Luowang are not so easy to deal with."

Shaking his head solemnly, Chu Nanggong continued to look at the Baiyue map, and finally his eyes fell on the Baiyue King's City.

"I'll take a trip to the Baiyue King's City. The Baiyue King is becoming more and more wary of Tianze. Maybe we can get some help from him."

The Chu army's hard attack alone will inevitably cause great losses. If they can get the support of Baiyue's internal forces, it will be much easier to fight. It happens that there is a breakthrough in Baiyue's internal forces.

"Lao Nan is here!"

Xiang Yan was overjoyed and saluted respectfully.

He also hoped that his family's losses would be as small as possible, so that his achievements could be greater, and a miserable victory was not the result he wanted.

"Remember, don't rush in, the old man seems to have seen an old acquaintance in Baiyue."

He stood up and solemnly warned, Chu Nan Gong did not want the Chu army to suffer any more losses.

"Who?"

Seeing Chu Nan Gong's solemn words, Xiang Yan's expression also became serious. It was an extraordinary person who could be treated with such dignity by this sage.

"Sima Jin!"

Chu Nangong himself was not sure about saying a name, and he hoped that he misunderstood it.

"That lieutenant of Bai Qi?"

Xiang Yan was taken aback for a moment, and soon thought of the name Sima Jin, and her complexion changed drastically.

As a military strategist, he pays attention to the generals from various countries who are also military strategists, and naturally there is also the veteran general Sima Jin.

Although Sima Jin's glory was completely eclipsed by Bai Qi, it does not mean that he is weak. On the contrary, being able to serve as Bai Qi's deputy general is a proof of his strength, and he is by no means weaker than any general in the world.

And that person has participated in many battles against Chu State, and is very familiar with the fighting style of Chu State's army. If that person is still alive and is on Baiyue's side, this battle will be even more difficult to fight.

It is useless to use tactics in front of that kind of veteran, and it is very likely that the opponent will take the opportunity to reverse the calculation. You can only use hard power to fight to the death, which will undoubtedly kill many people.

"Hope I'm wrong!"

With a sigh, Chu Nangong's figure disappeared.

"Sima Jin!"

With a gloomy face, Xiang Yan knew that there was going to be big trouble.

"Come here, give me the order to select [-] civilians to put on military armor and form a formation with the army tomorrow."

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yan suddenly gave an order to the orderly guarding outside.

In today's battle, they lost [-] soldiers and injured [-] soldiers. It is difficult to fight again in a short time.

The weapons and armor of these [-] soldiers were emptied, but they could not be left empty.

This trip brought [-] civilians as auxiliary soldiers, and it happened that half of them put on the armor. Even if they couldn't fight like real soldiers, they could still be strong.

Such a night passed, and the next day Xiang Yan led the army out of the camp to the battlefield again.

But what Xiang Yan didn't know was that among the [-] civilian men who dispatched with the army, how many of them silently dropped a few small pieces of wood on the ground.

Not long after the army passed by, dozens of poisonous snakes swam over, swallowing snake letters, followed the faint smell to find the few small pieces of wood, swallowed them and swam away quickly without being seen by anyone.

The army moved forward, but the main camp was not close there, and it was a hot day. By the time they arrived, the soldiers were already exhausted and sweating profusely.

Coupled with the long journey, I couldn't rest well in the last three days, and my physical and mental condition was very bad.

The only good news is that they don't need to go into battle to fight. They only need to form a formation to guard against the sudden charge of hundreds of troops, which is much easier.

Seeing the state of the generals and soldiers, Xiang Yan became more determined to quickly open up the situation here, and then stationed the general camp here.

Otherwise, the daily commute back and forth would be enough for the soldiers to bear. The weather is already hot, and wearing that armor is even more painful, not to mention the restriction of drinking water, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Beep beep..."

At this moment, hundreds of huge arrows shot out, concentrated on the catapult that was pushed forward first. Although most of the arrows missed, there were still twenty or thirty arrows that hit. Let the catapult be damaged again, and even a wooden post was broken.

"put!"

Xiang Yan didn't pay much attention to it, and waited for hundreds of trebuchets to be pushed forward and backward, and decisively ordered the projection.

The soldiers put the wooden barrels they had prepared a long time ago on the trebuchet, which contained half a bucket of clear water. Then a soldier poked forward with kerosene, poured kerosene into it, and finally stuck it with a wooden board, and ignite.

Hundreds of ignited barrels were projected out and landed around the trenches. The barrels shattered and the kerosene inside spread rapidly along the water flow, and some of it spread into nearby trenches.

It's a pity that Tian Hao was also prepared for this. The soldiers in the trench raised the wooden boards that had been prepared and smeared with a layer of mud to temporarily seal the opening where the shooting was left, and resist the kerosene fire.

And everyone covered their mouths and noses with soaked cloth strips to resist the intrusion of burning smoke.

Although it is impossible to resist for too long in this way, it can be resisted for a while.

At the same time, Chu Nu's counterattack continued, focusing on those trebuchets to slow down the Chu army's offensive speed.

Of course, bed crossbows were also used to kill those Chu soldiers. Bows and arrows could not hit them, but bed crossbows definitely could.

"Disperse!"

Xiang Yan gave the order calmly.

As the military order was passed down, the Chu troops who had gathered together to form a military formation quickly dispersed.

Although the arrows of that kind of bed crossbow cannot be resisted by humans, they can choose not to resist.

After all, the number of the opponent's bed crossbows is limited, and they can only shoot hundreds of arrows at a time.

Of course, if someone is shot, there is nothing you can do but consider yourself unlucky.

In addition, the Chu army did not use all kerosene for projectiles, but more stones. After all, kerosene was limited and had to be used sparingly.

"Brothers, withdraw!"

An hour later, Zhao Da and others who were guarding the first row decisively retreated, igniting the dead branches and wood that had been prepared in the trenches, and burning the logs above them.

They can retreat, but they will never leave this dug trench to the Chu army.

This kind of trench is very special. It has complete infrastructure. You can live in it. It can also avoid direct sunlight to a certain extent, and the temperature inside will be slightly lower than outside.

In this way, the Baiyue side retreated little by little, and the Chu army advanced little by little.

There were not many casualties on both sides, but the fire oil of the Chu army was consumed a bit quickly.

After fighting like this from morning to night, the battle just ended. Xiang Yan also ordered the trenches to be filled in, and the captured land was shoveled to a depth of one foot. After confirming that there were no traps, a camp was built on this basis to rest.

It's just that it was set on fire for a whole day, especially because there were still charcoal fires burning in the trenches, which scorched the ground extremely hot, and the temperature didn't cool down until the middle of the night, but it also made the overall temperature very high, making it difficult for the soldiers to fall asleep.

This is not over yet, Tian Hao came up with a new trick again.

"Listen to the people of Chu State on the opposite side, your general Xiang Yan wants to rebel with his own self-respect, and he has long been inseparable from many concubines of the King of Chu..."

A master of one hundred chanted loudly according to a roll of animal skin, and used internal force to bless the sound to make it even louder. In front of him was a super-large horn, which could amplify the sound. It can be said that the sound shook the whole world.

The content read out made people's blood boil. It mainly described how Xiang Yan sneaked into the palace and played an interactive game with the concubine of the King of Chu. The description was so detailed that Xiang Yan's face turned livid when he was resting in the Chu army's camp. .

The generals in the army looked strange. Although they all knew that Baiyue was talking nonsense, the description was too detailed and contained countless new gestures... no, it was new knowledge, which seemed to have opened a new door for them. The door to the world can't help but be fascinated by it.

Not to mention those Chu soldiers who were about to fall asleep, although they were all exhausted, they didn't feel sleepy in the face of such unprecedented pornographic works, and they listened carefully and studied.

"mean!"

Xiang Yan was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, but there was nothing she could do. They read it over there, and they couldn't stop it.

You can't fight at night like this, you may fall into the trap of the opponent, now you can only let the soldiers continue to rest, and speed up the destruction of those trenches tomorrow, and take Baiyue as soon as possible.

In desperation, he ordered the soldiers to be forced to sleep, but unfortunately this order was of little use.

Just like this, a painful and happy night passed. The next day, everyone in the Chu army arrayed with slightly dark circles under their eyes and bloodshot eyes, including Xiang Yan.

Last night's pornographic masterpiece was too powerful, but they had no way to stop it, so they could only wait until dawn.

"Shameless!"

Staring at the rows of trenches in front of her with bloodshot eyes, Xiang Yan wished she could chop up all the people on the opposite side and feed them to the dogs.

This strategy is too insidious and described in too much detail.

Although they are all fake, but as the saying goes, three people make a tiger, once these things spread, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the king.

Originally, the king had some opinions on the Xiang clan, but now that he had come to such a fight, even if he defeated Baiyue next time, his life with the Xiang clan would never be easy after returning.

So vile, so insidious!

"Win this battle first, and the old man will help you run it when you go back!"

Chun Shenjun, who also had bloodshot eyes, rode up to comfort him and said that although the other party's methods were despicable, it was indeed very difficult. Even he didn't have a good solution. Now he could only win the war first.

"put!"

Nodding, Xiang Yan waved to the trebuchet to drop kerosene and stones as soon as possible to destroy the opponent's trench fortifications.

It was the end of another boring day. At night, the Chu soldiers were tortured by the hot temperature, and at the same time consumed by the pornographic masterpieces that sounded again. Well, some of them even lost their physical energy. There will be some consumption, which can be described as painful and happy.

"Pooh!"

"Shameless! Nasty!"

On the top of the city wall defense line, Bai Ye spat and cursed someone's shamelessness in a low voice.

The people on the side looked at Tian Hao in weird ways. I really didn’t expect that this man would secretly prepare such a heart-wrenching move. It was too despicable, too shameless, too obscene, too...

It can be said that all negative adjectives can be used on this person, and it is really sad to be an enemy of him.

Tian Hao didn't get used to that girl either, so he popped out a lightning steel needle covertly, causing her to fall to the ground convulsively, and then explained indifferently: "The best thing to do is to attack the heart, and the best thing to do is to fight with the soldiers. Yes, this is the true superior art of war."

But this explanation made everyone look weirder. Sima Jin opened his mouth after helping Bai Ye to sit up, but he didn't know what to say. His old face was so twisted that he almost twitched.

"Don't say you are my student from now on!"

Finally choking out such a sentence, Sima Jin resolutely threw that thing out of the house, so as not to lose it at the end of the day.

"Same!"

The six-fingered black man silently agreed, saying that he had the same appeal. You kid must never say that you are my disciple in the future.

They also need face!
"Actually, this is top-secret information secretly investigated by the Zodiac Secret Agents. It has nothing to do with me. I am a virgin who doesn't understand those things and can't write them down.

I am just friends with them, and I accidentally saw this information. "

Seeing that the two teachers were going to expel him from the school, Tian Hao explained in silence, saying that he was innocent, those pornographic works had nothing to do with his Tian, ​​they were all blamed by Xiaoqiang and others.

Everyone present was speechless by this wave of friends who came out of nowhere. Why are you pretending to be pure with us now?

"You asked me for information about Chu State just to write this?"

Yingge also cast a contemptuous look, and shrank her body behind Yan Lingji to prevent being attacked by someone despicably.

"My purpose is to understand the enemy, to know the enemy and ourselves, and to fight without danger.

In addition, I don't trust the Zodiac Agents very much. You know my character. I will never let a bad person go, let alone slander a good person. It is just for comparison, and the untrue part is eliminated. "

Tian Hao decisively objected and gave him a threatening look. This girl needs to be dealt with!
"It has been confirmed that Lord Xinling is in the camp of the Chu army, there are also people from the Mo family, and there is also Bai Yifei from South Korea. I don't know how many people are hiding in the dark."

Tianze suddenly revealed a piece of information. After he knew that Chu was going to attack Baiyue, he sent people to lurk there, and now they have infiltrated the Chu army.

Although they only mixed in with the civilian husband's group, they can also see a lot of things. For example, the transportation of kerosene is in charge of the civilian husband. They already know the amount of kerosene stored in the Chu army.

Those people wrote the detected information and wrote the keywords on the wood chips, which were also smeared with special liquid medicine. They have specially domesticated poisonous snakes in Baiyue that can find and bring back these wood chips based on the smell.

"Why did the Mo family go to the Chu army?"

Tian Hao was taken aback for a moment, and the Black Man with Six Fingers on the other side was also slightly taken aback, also not expecting that the Mo family would get involved.

"It should be related to our many cooperations with Qin. They regard us as belonging to Qin."

Tianze is a little helpless, there are advantages and disadvantages to cooperating with Qin State, and now these are the bad sides, many enemies of Qin State will also set their sights on Baiyue.

"Can you determine how many people there are?"

His complexion changed slightly, Tian Hao had a deep understanding of the ability of the Mohist mechanism. If the Mohist joins the Chu army this time and manufactures that kind of giant trebuchet and bed crossbow, it will be a big threat to them.

"I only saw a vermilion bird falling down, which is suspected to be the Mo family's Vermillion Bird."

Tianze took out a few pieces of wood and handed them to Tian Hao. The people he sent were limited in ability and could not obtain specific information.

"The Mo family's mechanism, the Suzaku, cannot transport many people, and it is not enough to create a large-scale mechanism in a short period of time."

Recalling the mechanism Suzaku he had seen before, Tian Hao felt a little relieved, as long as he didn't create that kind of large mechanism.

Moreover, the organs of the Mo family tend to be defensive, and they are very bulky, very heavy and difficult to move, so they can only be used as city defense tools.

This war will not be affected in the short term.

"Why did the Marquis get involved?"

Looking at the three words Bai Yifei written on the back of the wood chip, Tian Hao didn't understand how the Marquis joined the army of Chu State. You must know that Chu State and South Korea are not very friendly, they are regarded as hostile relations.

"Bai Yifei's name is written on the same wooden board as the Mo family's organ Suzaku. It's not because they were discovered by one person, but because they appeared together."

Pointing to the piece of wood in Tian Hao's hand that recorded the names of the Mo family and Bai Yifei at the same time, Tian Ze guessed that the problem must be with the Mo family.
