Chapter 573: Sea of Worms
Although You Shilu had already calculated that the other party, as a Baidao sect, would not dare to forcibly make a move against the officials and soldiers, he also had to be careful to take precautions.
"You can see clearly, have they all gone away?" You Shilu was still not at ease, and asked again.
Their more than 300 horses and more than 20 carts have already walked more than ten miles, and there is no shadow to be seen on the official road. The general replied.
"Well, that's good. You Shilu nodded with satisfaction, a smile appeared on his face, and suddenly asked, "How are those homeless people now?"
"They all gathered by the river on the south bank, and when they saw the corpses hanging by the bridge, they must not dare to come. The general replied.
You Shilu said: "Although I don't dare to come over, it is troublesome for more than a thousand people to gather at the bridge, and it is best to solve it as soon as possible." Each of you shall take fifty men over the bridge, and scatter them all, and if anyone is stranded, he will be killed."
The two officers should claim to be.
However, before the two of them could leave, they suddenly heard someone outside shouting, "Oh no!
A junior colonel crawled into the big tent, knelt on the ground and said breathlessly, "Enlightenment...... General Qiyu has come out of the woods a lot...... There are so many poisonous insects crawling towards our camp!"
You Shilu slapped the table and shouted: "Bastard! It's just a few poisonous insects in the mountains, what's the fuss about! Just tell the soldiers guarding outside the camp to trample to death!"
The little colonel said, "No...... No, it's ...... It's too much, and it's already about to climb into the ...... Climb into the camp!"
You Shilu's face sank, and then he realized that something must be unusual, stood up with the hilt of the sword in his hand, and said, "A few of you, go out of the account with Ben to take a look!"
Out of the camp, You Shilu could hardly believe his eyes.
It is true that a few poisonous insects are not worth making a fuss about, but hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of poisonous insects are absolutely terrifying! The camp of the officials and soldiers was set up on the mountainside, only twenty or thirty zhang away from the woods below the mountain, but I saw a large number of poisonous insects crawling out of the woods like a tidal wave and swarming towards the camp!
There are many kinds of poisonous insects, including snakes, toads, centipedes, and even many cockroaches and rats, and the most ferocious of them is a large group of poisonous scorpions larger than a palm. There were a lot of defensive equipment on the wall of the camp, all of which were giant bows and arrows, but they were ineffective in the face of these dense insects, and the poisonous insects suddenly swarmed, and the soldiers had never seen such a scene in their lives, and their feet were already soft, even if they wanted to defend it, they were too late, and they hurriedly retreated and fled. Two or three others who did not have time to escape were swallowed up by the tide of insects, and the screams were terrible.
In a matter of moments, the wall in front of the camp had been occupied. These poisonous insects are all over the wooden wall, one by one, they are dancing with their teeth and claws, and they are spitting letters, as if they are very proud!
It's deworming!
After all, You Shilu is a long-experienced general, and his knowledge is comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, he has heard that in Xiangxi Miaojiang, there is a magic technique that can drive poisonous insects, he has never seen it before, and today it can be regarded as an eye-opener.
"Give me a fire!light a torch to drive away poisonous insects!" You Shilu ordered.
The torches were lit quickly, but the results were not significant. It was only because most of the poisonous insects were not afraid of the smoke that they could only be driven away unless they were cauterized with torches, and the soldiers were too afraid to get too close to them.
If you pour more than a dozen barrels of tung oil and put a big fire on it, you can solve the problem, but now there are a lot of ordnance and utensils on the side of the wall that is entrenched by poisonous insects, and if you want to set fire, you have to burn half of the camp and the poisonous insects together, which is even more inappropriate. The insect repellent on the other side must have anticipated this section, so he deliberately let the poisonous insects crawl on the wooden wall and the nearby tent.
After all, there were 500 soldiers in the battalion, and everyone fought together with weapons and wooden planks, plus torches to drive them away, and finally gradually controlled the situation and blocked the poisonous insects near the wall. These poisonous insects are menacing, but the number is still limited, about 10,000 or so, and it is not really endless. And under You Shilu's sharp shout, all the soldiers in the camp were frightened, and they were not as scared as before.
The soldiers lined up in a row and slowly advanced, little by little to drive the poisonous insects out of the camp, burned to death, trampled to death, and shot thousands of insects to death, and finally recaptured the wall. The remaining poisonous insects began to flee, and they all jumped into the woods outside the camp, and disappeared among the grass and trees.
This hectic scene took a long time. You Shilu stood in the camp, looking at the smelly insect corpses everywhere, and heard the screams of more than a dozen soldiers who had been stung by poisonous insects, and his heart was extremely angry.
At this time, a junior colonel ran over, knelt on the ground and said: "General, it's not good! The guards on the side of the bridge at the port entrance have all been killed, and all those homeless people have crossed the bridge and fled into the Yu realm!"
"What!" You Shilu jumped up, "Take me to see it!"
You Shilu led the soldiers to the Bukou Bridge, and saw that more than a dozen guards had all fallen on the side of the bridge, and the large group of displaced people who had gathered in the south of the bridge had long since disappeared. However, upon closer inspection, the guards were not killed, but all fainted.
Splashing the river, pinching people, and slapping finally woke up all the guards who had passed out, but their confessions made You Shilu even more annoyed. All the guards said almost as soon as they left, and they all heard a commotion in the direction of the camp on the mountain, and their hearts were frightened, and suddenly they knew nothing when it was dark in front of them.
Drove poisonous insects to attack the camp on the mountain and dragged the officers and soldiers of the brigade, and knocked out the guards by the bridge to let the exiles cross the bridge, who dared to be so bold?
You Shilu actually knew very well in his heart that the culprit must be the "evil dog gate"!
If you want to knock out more than ten guards when they are not aware, you must have superior martial arts, only the masters of the Jianghu sect can do this, and the insect repellent technique comes from Xiangxi Miaojiang, and the "Evil Dog Sect" is also a sect in the Hunan realm, who else can there be!
It's just that now You Shilu has no evidence in his hands. The dart team of the "Evil Dog Gate" had already crossed the bridge and sailed away long before this happened, and they could have pushed the matter off without admitting it at all.
As for driving poisonous insects to attack the camp, it is even more untable.
Not everyone knows that there is thaumaturgy in this world to repel insects, and it is a dereliction of duty for you to release the exiles across the bridge. If You Shilu told the governor of Henan that the 500 soldiers he led were dragged by a large group of snakes, insects and mice for an hour, and failed to stop the displaced people in time, he was afraid that he would have already been embarrassed to his home before he brought down the "evil dog gate", and the general soldiers of Nanyang who were of the fifth grade would not have to do it anymore!
You Shilu has been stationed at the border pass in the north of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and he has always been famous for his bravery, and he is the "Wude General" of the emperor's imperial seal, but he didn't expect that he had just been transferred to Yujing not long ago, and he suffered such a big loss, and he was still dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say what he was suffering from.
He could almost imagine how the "Bad Dog" was laughing at him right now!
Thinking of being sealed by the emperor, You Shilu's face suddenly changed drastically, grabbed a soldier next to him, and asked, "Where is the general's imperial treasure horse?
The soldier trembled with fright and said, "General...... General, the little one doesn't know, no...... Not...... Didn't see ......."
You Shilu threw him away and shouted, "Go and find it for me!"
BMW horses are not allowed in captivity. Even if there is no marching war, if you are locked up in the stable all day long, it will definitely make the horses fat and lose their horsepower. You Shilu was very unusual to the treasure of the imperial horse, and he took good care of himself, and asked the soldiers to lead him to the outside of the camp every morning to play the horses. And when the poisonous insects attacked the camp before, it was the time when the soldiers went out to play horses.
The Snow Treading Red Dragon Horse was quickly found, but it was carried by five or six people. This crimson horse is still saddled and luxurious, but there are at least seventy or eighty wounds on its body that have been bitten by poisonous insects, large and small, and have long since died of exhaustion.
"Will ...... General, we are in the woods...... If you find a BMW by the woods, you ...... That's what it looks like......"
You Shilu's hair stood on end, the long hair on his chin trembled, tears rushed out, and he pulled out the sword at his waist with a "choking" sound, turned his hand and slashed it out! Before the unlucky soldier could finish his sentence, a sword was cut off on his neck, and the corpse fell straight down.
The other soldiers were so frightened that they all fell to their knees.
You Shilu's complexion on his face was originally dark, but now it has turned purple, and he is almost dripping blood. He shouted, "Get up for me!" Gather all the men and horses, I was going to chase them back, and cut them one by one!"
The sound was terrible, echoing on the banks of the river, like the howl of a wild beast.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ when the corpse of the Snow Treading Red Dragon Horse was carried to the side of the Bukou Bridge, Hua Bushi was not as proud as You Shilu imagined. On the contrary, his face was full of sadness.
Yang Jiangyi, Ximen Tong, and Li Hu were all by the side of the eldest young master, and Bu Wang also drove a caravan to follow, and behind them, it was the thousands of homeless people.
Bu Wang is not only good at raising scorpions, but also has the skill of summoning poisonous insects, which is the ability of all disciples of the "Miaojiang Poison Sect". Last night, Hua Bushi ordered him to use medicine to recruit poisonous insects, and after a whole night, Bu Wang had gathered all the poisonous insects in the nearby mountains and forests, plus the poisonous scorpions he raised, to form an army of poisonous insects, and after the dart team crossed the stone bridge, they began to attack the camp of the official army.
And Ximen Hitomi and Li Hu used light skills to sneak close to the bridge, stun the guards and soldiers, and then led a group of homeless people across the bridge.
This was a very good plan, and it was executed very smoothly, and the poisonous insects of Buwang dragged You Shilu for an hour. It's just that Hua Bushi didn't expect that this more than 1,000 homeless people would travel so slowly, and they only walked more than 20 miles after rushing for an hour, which was even slower than yesterday's walking speed.
