Chapter 1682 Making Things Difficult
"We took the remaining brothers and ran to hide in the mountains, and we survived."
"But we go down the mountain every day to check the situation. I only dared to come over and take a look after seeing the army encamped and looking at the military flag as if it belonged to our country." General Xi Qi told them about their situation with snot and tears. Again.
Lieutenant General Ma became anxious after hearing this. If the insect trap was not sent in, wouldn't General Xu be in danger? !
Lieutenant General Ma: "No, we must find a way to deliver the insect attractant into the city, otherwise the soldiers and civilians in the city will die."
General Cheng frowned: "How to send it? There are soldiers outside the city now, and we can't get close to the city at all. Even if we want to use a crossbow or sling to throw the insect attractant in, the distance is too far and beyond the range."
After hearing this, Vice General Ma was so anxious that he circled around the camp.
After a while, he looked at death and said: "I will lead a group of elite soldiers to fight a bloody path. You push the slings behind to follow. Once you reach within the range, immediately use the slings to release insect attractants."
General Cheng disagreed: "No, this method of seeking death is useless."
Vice Admiral Ma was very loyal to General Xu and said, "It's me and my soldiers who died. Brother Cheng, there is no need to feel bad."
General Cheng frowned and cursed: "Who do you think I am? Am I someone who is afraid of death? It's just that your method will cause too many casualties and is not worth it. It will also attract the soldiers and thieves and let all the reinforcements completely annihilated!"
Bang, Vice General Ma slapped the table and asked: "Then what do you think we should do? Are we just going to watch the soldiers and civilians of Long'an Prefecture being killed by poisonous insects?"
Duan Changling was listening to a play outside the camp. Now he raised the curtain and walked in. He suggested, "I have an idea. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
When Lieutenant General Ma saw him, he sneered in his heart. What kind of kindness could the weasel have in paying New Year greetings to the rooster? He ignored him.
Duan Changling didn't give up and started talking to himself: "The man Qin Sanlang who beheaded Le Muqin was very brave. He also had some shady poison in his hand. He asked him to disguise himself as a soldier and go to the Rongren King's tent to assassinate Tianke. sweat……"
"Duan Tongzhi, are you sick?" General Cheng couldn't help it anymore and frowned at Duan Changling: "Although Duan Tongzhi has a higher position than me, we are facing a formidable enemy. I still want to remind Duan Tongzhi not to avenge private vengeance in public or to harm others. A rising star.”
Duan Changling's face was dark: "I haven't finished speaking yet. How do you know that I am avenging my personal revenge? Besides, what kind of personal hatred can I have with a small Baihu? Da Chu has generals like Qin Baihu, and I am more powerful than you." Happy."
He added: "He does not need to kill Tian Khan, he only needs to create chaos and let the soldiers return to defend the savior. It will be much easier for Lieutenant General Ma to lead his people to put insect attractants."
It makes sense, but it's still a bad idea.
"No, you can't use this idea of death if you leave." General Cheng refused.
That was Tian Khan's royal tent, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if he just went to create chaos, there would be no return.
"Report!" Vice General Ma's personal soldiers came in and reported: "Vice General, Qin Baihu of He'an Prefecture led several hundreds of households to ask for an audience."
"Ha, let him in." Duan Changling smiled, this brat really knows how to seek death.
Vice General Ma frowned and winked at the soldiers. The soldiers left and soon brought Qin Sanlang and others in.
After Qin Sanlang saluted the generals in the camp with clasped fists, he said: "To the generals, the last general has just inspected this place. This place is not suitable for camping. Rong soldiers have the habit of patrolling within thirty miles of the camp. This place is far away from the Rong army." Although the military camp is more than thirty miles away, the military flag is too high and can be seen by the patrol cavalry of the Rong. If we are discovered, troops will be sent to destroy us, and we will have been eaten by the soldiers before we can come to our rescue."
Vice General Ma frowned when he heard this. With the military flag at this height, he was too eager to save General Xu. He didn't think for a moment, but: "If we retreat further, once Long'an Mansion is in danger, it will be very slow for us to rush over."
Niu Dabao said: "We can hide in the mountains. Sanlang is optimistic about the mountain near Fucheng, and says that the mountain is good and big enough, suitable for hiding people. Let's go into the mountain and scatter our soldiers and horses in the mountain. It will be difficult for the soldiers to find it. Once the soldiers If people attack the city, we can still defend the enemy close by."
General Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Hiding in Xiaolong Mountain is a good idea."
When Xing'an Prefecture was besieged, half of his soldiers and horses were killed by the Rong, and the remaining soldiers and horses escaped by following him into the mountains.
Duan Changling was dissatisfied, but he didn't want to die, so it was indeed a good idea to go into the mountains and hide.
He looked at Qin Sanlang: "The method is okay, but how to send the insect attractant into the city? We can't watch the people of Long'an Mansion being killed by poisonous insects, right?"
At this time, he would say this, and he said it to Qin Sanlang, clearly intending to make things difficult for him.
Qin Sanlang was calm and said respectfully: "You can use the carrier pigeons raised by the army."
"Wonderful, why haven't I thought of this?" Vice General Ma slapped his forehead and said happily: "The army can use birds to deliver poisonous insects to Xing'an Prefecture, so we can naturally use carrier pigeons to deliver poisonous insects to Long'an Prefecture. Insect attractant. And the insect attractant does not require a large dose. It only takes the size of a soybean to save one person, and a homing pigeon can carry it."
The only bad thing is that they don't keep many homing pigeons, and the soldiers are very good at archery. When they besiege the city, they will shoot birds in the air to prevent the city from using homing pigeons to call for help.
Duan Changling turned green when he heard this. This Qin Sanlang was really smart and knew a lot.
However, this is Qin Sanlang hiding his clumsiness. He also knows a good way, which is to strengthen the mechanics of the ballistae and catapults.
As long as they are properly adjusted, the power of the crossbow and catapult will increase, and the range will become longer. If you stand on the peak of Xiaolong Mountain closest to Long'an Mansion, you will have a 70% chance of throwing the insect attractant. Inside the city.
But he was just a small-time man from the south. It would be a bit unreasonable if he showed off his ability to prepare supplies and heavy weapons.
Qin Sanlang ignored Duan Changling's dark face and begged Lieutenant General Ma: "Generals, before the soldiers find us, please quickly give the order to break camp and enter the mountain."
"Yes, this matter must be done quickly." General Cheng urged, and Vice General Ma immediately went to General Dai and told him the matter.
General Dai was frightened to death and immediately ordered to break camp and enter the mountain.
The army immediately broke out of the camp, wiped away all traces of the camp, and then took a small path into the mountains.
When they entered the mountain, the soldiers began to attack Long'an Mansion again. The sound of rumbling boulders hitting the city wall continued until midnight.
The people in Long'an Prefecture were tortured to death by these sounds. In addition, there was an outbreak of vermin in the city, and some people who couldn't bear it were frightened crazy.
Xu You was wounded and went to the city tower to personally command the soldiers to fight against the soldiers, but bad news kept coming from the city: "General, the prefect has contracted a strange disease and has convulsed and fainted... I'm afraid he won't survive tonight."
The strange disease in the city came suddenly, and many people fell down inexplicably, and then died suddenly.
Later, it was the military doctors sent by the general who saw bugs pouring out of the corpse that they knew it was the bugs that had killed the person.
But this truth is worse than not knowing it.
As soon as the news of the bugs entering the body and harming people spread in the city, the city was in chaos. At this time, the Rong people began to attack the city again. Even if General Xu was the God of War and descended to earth, he would not be able to defend Long'an Mansion.
