The other few who can't rest are Wang Da and Wang Er in the Youth League, as well as more than a dozen special forces who are the best at climbing in the special forces.

They took their tools and quietly touched the Wusheh Ridge under the cover of the night and the woods, and no one knew what they were doing except Hong Tao and the raiders. Everyone was given the order to take their place and perform their duties, and wait for the next order.

At night, the woodland is foggy, and the lower it is, the thicker the fog becomes. Standing on the hillside and looking down is like a fairyland, the trees are only the upper half, the lower half is completely hidden in the fog, people walk on the ground, if you slow down, you can't see it.

The Western Xia defenders on the Wusheling Ridge were very conscientious, they lit the tallow torches and threw them down to illuminate the road, and sent people to watch over the cliffs all night to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to break through.

The rest of the people all shrank into holes in the cliff to prevent their clothes from getting wet from the mist. In the spring, it is still very cold in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is definitely uncomfortable to be wet.

But to the southwest of the cliff, there were a few dark figures who seemed to not care about the damp mist, and were climbing up little by little along the crevices of the rock, barely making any sound.

In fact, even if there is a little sound, it is okay, the Gulang River dozens of meters away roars all day, and the movement at night seems to be even greater, and it can be clearly heard in the camp of the new army a few miles away.

Hong Tao didn't sleep, the tent was soaked in asphalt oil to insulate the fog, and the ground was covered with tarpaulin and felt, and the coolness was as impenetrable as the dampness. Curled up in a cashmere sleeping bag, even if the temperature is only freezing, it is still warm.

But Hong Tao couldn't sleep, and his mind kept thinking about the situation of Wang Da and them. This task was very risky, even if Jiang Erlang had already carried two siege crossbows on his back to the ridge south of the Wusheling Mountains, and could use thunderbolts and fire oil bombs to provide fire support to Wang Da and the others.

However, the siege crossbow is not a recoilless gun, let alone a large-caliber anti-materiel gun, and the impact point of the projectile fired from a distance of several hundred meters is very large, and if it is not done well, it will have to injure one's own people by mistake, and it will not play a decisive role.

"Are the officials worried about the eldest sister and the second sister?" Chen Niang didn't have her own tent yet, so she could only sleep with Hong Tao. She didn't fall asleep either, but she wasn't as tormented as Hong Tao.

"Aren't you worried?" Seeing that someone was calmer than himself, Hong Tao was very uncomfortable.

"The eldest sister said that this matter is like probing for something, and there will be no mistakes with the eldest sister's skills." Chen Niang really thought about it, Wang Da said it was okay, she felt okay, the problem was that the tomboy said it was okay to do anything.

"How do you little girl know about her mission?" Anyway, he couldn't sleep, so Hong Tao simply didn't sleep, opened his sleeping bag and sat up.

"As soon as the eldest sister took the bag of fake salt, I knew that she was going to poison her, and the officials wanted to poison the Xia people like poisoning wild boars and pheasants!" People are small and big, Chen Niang's little head has a lot of things, it's not easy to deceive her.

The fake salt is sodium nitrite, which was originally used as a preservative for canned food, but the dose should be controlled very low, and if it is high, it is poison.

Because its appearance is very similar to table salt, Hong Tao is very strict with the management of this kind of compound, let alone outsiders, they can't see it, and most people don't even know that there is such a thing.

In order to prove that this thing was poisonous, Hong Tao deliberately took the youth group to the mountains and forests near Mawei City to do several experiments. There are often large herds of wild boars and many pheasants, which became the subjects of Hong Tao's experiments.

The test method is very simple, that is, put sodium nitrite in an open field and wet it with water, and then go far away and hide it for observation. Animals also need to consume a certain amount of salt, and there are places like this in nature. For example, sheep and cattle often run to the river to lick a certain piece of soil or rock, which is rich in salt.

Now that there is ready-made salty salt, where do the animals know that it is fake, they go up and lick it, and they rush to lick each other. The result speaks for itself, whoever licks more will die quickly, not too much, two grams is enough.

The poisoned person will have symptoms of dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, and palpitations after about half an hour, and if the antidote is not obtained, he will soon fall into a coma, and eventually die of respiratory failure.

How much is that two grams of salt? As a more intuitive example, a beer bottle cap is about five grams full of salt. With a bottle of mineral water capped, filled without the tip is about ten grams.

Hong Tao also secretly did human experiments, and about 30 grams of sodium nitrite were mixed into an urn of water, and there was no major change in taste, and he couldn't realize it if he didn't taste it carefully.

However, the seven or eight Xia prisoners of war who drank this urn of water were poisoned to varying degrees, with mild vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations, and severe ones simply having blue hands and feet, and most of them did not survive for more than four hours if they did not wash their stomachs in time.

Wang Da and Wang Er carried two bags of more than three catties of sodium nitrite, and they wanted to put all these poisons into the pool of the Xia defenders in Wusheling Mountains.

To say that Li Yuanhao's uncle who is proficient in military affairs is indeed quite talented, the pass he designed is not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also not afraid of long-term confrontation.

Because he dug two cisterns on the cliff, no matter how lively the fighting was on the south side, the defenders could fall down the Gulang River with a rope from the north side to fill the pool, and they could hold out for many days.

It's just that this imperial uncle didn't expect that there would be a poison that has no peculiar smell, can be dissolved in water, and is so toxic. In this way, the cistern he specially invented became a life-saving tank.

"Then do you say that the king's meeting will be successful? There are more than ten caves on it, and I haven't personally gone up to see which one is the reservoir, in case it is discovered, you may not have the eldest sister and the second sister in the future. ”

Hong Tao is not worried about the toxicity of the poison, nor is he afraid that Xia Ren will not drink water, but he is worried that Wang Da and Wang Er are too dead-eyed, and they have to do it.

"Without officials, Chen Niang and her sisters and brothers will not be able to live such a life in this life, they can't learn so much knowledge, and they should die for officials. Teacher Xu said that death for a confidant is the highest state of being a human being, and there is no regret in death. Chen Niang carried Xu Donglai out again, and said it quite emotionally, waving this little fist and almost shouting a slogan.

"What if the officials want to use you for profit?" Chen Niang's performance made Hong Tao seem to see some kind of young player in the later life, and the highest level of playing people is nothing more than this.

Compared with those predecessors, they are still very amateurish, people can bewitch young people and adults, fathers and sons, husbands and wives can give up family affection, and they can only start with children, this is the gap between professional and business!

"Officials are the best for us, better than biological parents, they won't be so ......" This question stumped Chen Niang, no matter how much knowledge and education there is, after all, she is still young, and she can't experience this thing quickly. When it comes to the human level, her brain is not enough.

"Even if we use it, we are willing to use it. Officials don't have to remember, Wang Da is back, fortunately not disgraced. Hong Tao was not satisfied with Chen Niang's answer, it was too unreasonable. But there was another answer from outside the tent, and although the voice was small, the tone was firm and unwavering.

"You are getting more and more bold to eavesdrop on the officials!" This answer is what Hong Tao wants to hear, but it can't be too shallow, and he has to teach a lesson with a straight face.

"Commander Jiang is preparing for tomorrow morning's battle, let me come back and ask the officials if they still have orders." Wang Da and Wang Er slipped through the crack of the tent like two black cats, knelt on one leg in front of the bed, and kept their voices low.

"Eldest sister, second sister, what is it like in the camp of the Xia people?" Chen Niang looked at Wang Da and Wang Da's bells and whistles painted in oil paint, and began to get excited again.

"Is this being discovered?" Wang Da and Wang Er didn't pay attention to Chen Niang's question, Hong Tao also didn't pay attention to this little girl who was too curious, he reached out to Wang Er's chest, and pinched it.

"There was a guy who got up at night and bumped into her face, so I wiped my neck from behind, and all the stinky blood flowed onto the child's body, and there were more in my sleeves, bad luck!" Wang Er didn't dodge at all, or she didn't realize it at all.

"There is a stream down the hillside, go wash and change your clothes. Be careful to avoid outsiders, you are all adults, and there will be a difference between men and women in the future. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight, so bear with it in the box car after I hit the road tomorrow. ”

Hong Tao is not so dirty, and even takes advantage of his adopted daughter. He found some dark marks on the clothes on Wang Er's chest, so he reached out to feel if it was bloodstains. But as soon as his hand touched Wang Er's chest, he found that his movements were not appropriate.
