Chapter 357: The Art of Gu Poison

The Zhao army won a complete victory, the whole camp quickly retreated, and the thunderstorm stood above the pass and stared down, as the commander-in-chief, scolding or being angry at this time was not conducive to the situation.

"Strengthen the defense, and it's not too late to kill Zhao Jun after discussion."

Above the pass, everyone returned to the big tent, the chain array was broken, and the main general died, and the atmosphere of the big tent suddenly became a little more depressing, and the generals of the Qin army knew best that the chain of horse formations could be attacked and defended, and they had been carefully trained for many years, which could be called the absolute elite, and they didn't want to be so vulnerable, and the original zài loophole was still too strong for the Zhao people.

"Guys, is there a way to break the enemy?"

The generals bowed their heads one after another, and they had seen the courage of the vanguard generals of the Zhao Army, and carefully weighed it, even if they could not win the battle, Lei Storm's face sank, and he looked around, and he was proud of his ability on weekdays, and at this time, he lowered his head one by one.

One coughed lightly, the figure stood up, the body was dressed strangely, and there were special ornaments on the ears, the most amazing thing was the small cyan snake lying on the shoulder, the bulge above the snake's head must be a highly poisonous thing, the snake is a fierce beast, even in the face of a large opponent, it is not afraid, why has it become so docile at this time.

"Mr. Wen."

Thunderstorm also got up, and the man smiled: "Don't worry about the general, the old man is not talented, and he is willing to contribute to the general." ”

"How many people do you need for this to be the best?"

The man laughed, "You don't need a single soldier to retreat from Zhao Bing." ”

"This."

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone knew that the battlefield was fighting in formation, and how to fight without soldiers was not joking.

"If you don't believe it, you'll see it tonight."

"Okay, General Ben already knows what Mr. is capable of."

The night breeze is blowing, the stars are dotted, Hangu is pitch black, according to the man's instructions to remove all the torches above, a high platform rises in the middle, black cloth bags are hung around the high platform, the cloth bags bulge and don't know what is loaded, thunderstorms and others stand on the side of the high platform, one person slowly climbs, everyone looks at the same time, but they see the figure swaying left and right in the dark, and there are words in their mouths, it seems to be carrying out a strange ritual, the night is too dark to see clearly, this may be the intention of removing the torches, after all, some are not passed on secrets, No one wants to reveal their secret laws to outsiders.

"General, is this a feasible method?"

Thunderstorm waved his hand, "Just look at it." ”

On the high platform, both hands took out an object from his arms and sprinkled it in the copper basin in front of him, the copper basin shook, and the thing contained in it was the blood stains of people, as for where it came from is unknown, it is strange to say, with the passage of time, the blood stains in the copper basin slowly disappeared.

Rustle, rustle, strange sound sounded, the sound was not loud but it was very clear, that kind of sound couldn't help but make people's hairs stand up, there should be something crawling above, thinking of being accompanied by poisonous snakes on weekdays, everyone's hearts suddenly tightened, what happened above.

"That's it."

The man turned around, "Light the torch." ”

The soldiers quickly lit the torches, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the top, and there was still a high platform above, no different from before.

"What's next?"

"Sit back and wait for the Zhao people to retreat." After speaking, an extremely weird smile appeared on his face, whoosh, the little cyan snake came out of nowhere, extremely fast, its tongue was upward, and the core was spit out, and the eyes of the person standing on the high platform were exactly the same as the poisonous snake at this time.

"Cloth bag."

One person pointed with his hand, and everyone looked at it, the original bulging cloth bag became shriveled at this time, the thunderstorm's expression changed slightly, and the cloth bag was filled with human flesh and blood.

A scream rose in the Zhao army's camp, and the soldiers rolled on the ground with their stomachs in their arms, and the green tendons on their necks burst out, and they grabbed hard, eager to grab them directly.

"What's wrong?"

"Itchy, itchy."

Scratching a few blood marks on the belly is still absolutely not enjoyable, punching, hitting hard, at that moment it seems that the pain is completely lost, and the blood on the body flows.

It would not be unusual if it was just one down, one person fell, then another, and soon the whole camp fell to the ground and kept rolling.

"Go and report to the general."

"How so?"

Bai Ying got the news and arrived quickly, he was really startled, a camp of nearly three or four thousand people got a strange disease overnight, one person spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground a few times and died, a qiē is just the beginning, the strange disease spread rapidly like a plague, and the death toll increased dramatically.

"If something is wrong, go and invite the king immediately."

"Plague? No way. ”

Zhao Kuo got the news and led the guards to the accident camp, a foul smell came out, the ground was full of dead soldiers spitting out, the body bent down, it should not be the smell of blood, probed with his hand, the whole belly bulged high, the long sword crossed, and the body retreated.

Everyone was stunned, the long sword cut through the corpse of the dead soldier, this was done to find out the secret behind the inexplicable death, not to be disrespectful to the corpse, the belly was separated, and the internal organs turned completely black, emitting a foul smell, which was very similar to the taste of blood in the mouth.

Zhao Kuo is proficient in medical science, there is only one possibility in this situation, poisoning, the long sword was swung again, and the throat was directly cut off, "Impossible." ”

The blade of the sword slashed, the flesh and blood in the throat were bright red, and the poisoning of the organs must have eaten something highly poisonous, the poison entered from the mouth, and the throat was the first to touch, and now it is not affected at all, and the poison enters the body from somewhere.

"Kill me, kill me."

The soldier was covered in blood, and suddenly pulled out his long sword and stabbed it wildly towards his body, without any pain on his face, and as the long sword pierced into his body and fell, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth at that moment, and he must not be able to bear it, and this way was relieved.

"Don't approach these people."

The Zhao army's camp was in chaos, and the thunderstorm and others above Hangu Pass could see it clearly, "Mr. Wen, it's really good, but you can't use the sword soldiers to kill people invisibly." ”

The man looked proud, "The general is serious. ”

One snorted coldly, "Dark arrows hurting people are not heroes." I saw that the man was burly and dressed in armor, he must be a military general in the army, and he was a little unaccustomed to this method.

With a sneer, the whole person was stunned and couldn't move, the little cyan snake was coiled around his neck at this time, the snake's eyes glowed blue, and the snake's head was aimed at the person's throat.

"Most of the people who don't have the ability to be heroes don't live long."

"Mr. Wen, it's all your own people, let's talk about it." Thunderstorm hurriedly stepped forward.

There was a burst of laughter, his arm stretched out, and the green snake instantly burrowed into his sleeve and disappeared, almost at the same time from his neck, spitting out the core with a very provocative meaning, the man let out a sigh of relief, and only then did he experience the strange feeling when death came, and he had to be more careful in the future, especially this strange warlock.

"The Wen family's Gu technique can kill people for thousands of miles without leaving a trace, and it can even make the entire city of chickens and dogs not leave behind overnight, if it is regarded as a crooked evil art, it will inevitably be laughed at and generous."

"Gu Technique."

Hearing the Gu technique, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions, among them, several people who are extremely mysterious on weekdays also moved, Gu magic has always been extremely mysterious, originally only used in the Bashu area in the western part of the Qin State, most of them are used to avoid evil, or to cure diseases, but if someone is sick, as long as they are cured by Gu healing, they will be cured immediately, such a magical technique rarely appears because of its own constraints, and it is even more intolerable for the clan to harm people like this, and they don't want to appear in the Qin army camp at this time, and the Gu poison technique is also not low.

Laughing, rolling, dying, a strange scene kept appearing in the Zhao Jun camp, and the whole camp was in chaos, this situation was too strange, if you were facing the Qin State's thousands of troops and horses, you could also fight hard, but now it is different, the strange death method makes people feel that they have never been afraid, and it seems that it can only be explained by the power of ghosts.

"Could it be evil?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head, "Judging from the corpse, it should be poisoned." ”

"Poisoned! Where does the poison come from? ”

Zhao Kuo stepped forward and quickly inspected the camp, there were several large wooden barrels on one side of the camp, and there was clean water in them, most of them had bottomed out, because it was a former army, and the meal time was much earlier than that of other camps, "Why are you okay?" ”

There were less than forty people left in the entire camp, and they shook their heads again and again, "King, it wasn't us who poisoned you. ”

"I didn't suspect you, I just wanted to find out the cause of the poisoning, think about it, what's the difference?"

"I remember."

"Say it quickly."

The man said, "We were supposed to be in charge of patrolling the perimeter, and when we came back, the whole camp was like that. ”

"That is, only those who remain in the camp have something to do."

The soldier nodded, "So to speak." ”

"Strange, what the hell did these people do to make it look like this."

"Water."

Zhao Kuo looked at the almost empty wooden barrels in front of him, the food of each battalion was distributed uniformly, and the food would never have an accident, the only possible thing was water, only water could cause such a large area of poisoning, as for why there were no traces of poisoning in the throat, it should be that the water flow was too fast, and the toxins could not stay and eventually enter the body and erode the organs.

"If it's really a problem with the water, the other camps."

"Yes, notify as soon as possible, no one is allowed to touch it."

"Yes."

The order was given, several fast horses rushed out, time is life, Zhao Kuo stood there, looking at the eyes of a chill, whether it was eaten by mistake or artificially, if it was eaten by mistake, it would be fine, if it was artificial, how could the Qin people be poisoned in the water, the waters of Tianguan came from a high place, unless they could be poisoned from the upstream without interruption, otherwise they would soon be washed away by the current.

"Brothers, let's eat."

The hot dry food was lifted to emit bursts of aroma, divided into several piles, the soldiers of the camp gathered quickly, and couldn't help swallowing saliva in their eyes, one person divided one and grabbed it in his hand and ate it quickly, the sun rose, the temperature of the whole camp increased, in the hot summer, water was particularly important, the Yiyang defenders were trapped in it and had no food to eat, and finally the water could not be supplied, and finally the guide zhì was defeated.

After eating their dry rations, the soldiers hurried to the rear of the camp, where there were also dozens of large buckets, thinking that the water would cool their throats and smile on their faces.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, "The king has an order not to drink water." ”

Immediately, the people shouted loudly, and the soldiers who ran at the front had already taken the water holding tool in their hands, which was full, and finally put it down after a glance, the military order must not be violated, let alone the king's order.

"It's good to be in time."

The herald cavalry let out a sigh of relief, and saw clearly that if the whole camp also suffered bad luck again a moment later, the miserable scene was still in front of him.
