Chapter 164 Strange Things
"What can you deal with?" The king of Linzi humbly asked for advice.
The man in black raised his dry hand and said, "I already have a countermeasure in my heart!" He took out a drawing from his arms and handed it to the king of Linzi, saying, "This is what I designed. You order someone to make it overnight!"
King Linzi opened the drawing and saw something like a car wrapped in heavy steel. He wondered, "Is this useful? Those are all huge stones!"
The man in black glanced coldly from the inside of the black robe, "Are you doubting me?"
The king of Linzi said repeatedly, "I dare not!" He knew that the person in front of him was proficient in the art of ghosts, and often invented some strange but very useful things. He made great contributions to the previous sieges. Now he did not dare to delay any more. He immediately went out and handed over the drawings to the craftsman.
After a night's rush, the design of the black man was pushed out in the early morning of the next day. The man in the black robe looked at his work with satisfaction and talked about the use of this big guy. Hearing this, the king of Linzi was overjoyed. With this treasure, it was not a problem to attack Jiayuguan directly, let alone through that path!
Soon, the big guy threw himself into the battle. He saw that there were several wheels under the car-like thing, and the upper layers of steel were hollow in the middle, and the soldiers could get into the belly of the car and push the car forward, and there was no need to be afraid of the arrow rain from the cliff.
The big guy walked towards the stone wall, and the arrow rain shot down from the wall could not stop the big guy at all. It still hit the stone wall in its own way. Once, twice, three times, after another impact, the stone wall made of boulders finally began to loosen and finally fell down.
Because the boulder of the stone wall is still there, the big guy's wheel can't continue to pass, so it retreats. The king of Linzi was overjoyed and immediately commanded the follow-up soldiers to attack with all his strength.
The soldiers were immediately cheered and immediately rushed to Jiayu Pass. The arrow rain still shot down in a hurry, but it could no longer stop the pace of the army of the king of Linzi. Soon after, someone had come to the gate, took the ladder and began to attack the city.
And the soldiers of Jiayuguan were not vegetarian. Huangfu Shaohua personally led people to guard the city. The soldiers fought with blood, bows and arrows, hot oil, and throwing stones were used, and bursts of bloody and burnt smell came. Because of the narrow terrain of the path, the army of the King of Linzi could not all come from, and although Jiayu Pass had few people, it occupied a geographical advantage. It can be said that the army of the King of Linzi was beaten back. The second wave and the third wave were all the same.
When the king of Linzi saw that it was too late, he received his troops and prepared to attack the city again tomorrow.
He is full of ambition, thinking about his 300,000 people and horses. It must be no problem to deal with the defenders with less than 30,000. Tomorrow will be a strong attack, regardless of the cost. At that time, he will take Chang'an and ascend the throne as emperor, and the world will be in control.
However, what he did not expect was that a big guy who had just made great contributions to him was because of the greed of other princes in the barracks.
Although people don't know what this thing is when they see it today, their combat effectiveness is amazing. If they get this thing, they are still worried that the world can't have it?
The night came quietly. The king of Linzi set up a table of good wine in the military tent and was celebrating with the black-robed man under his tent. The king of Linzi poured a glass of wine and said to the black robe: "Sir, you are amazing. Today, I will open my eyes. If you attack Chang'an in the future, you will be the first achievement!"
The man in black robe drank a sip of wine and said coldly, "Your Majesty, don't be happy too early. Chang'an is still thousands of miles away, and the general of Jiayuguan, Huangfu Shaohua and others are by no means idle people, and I heard that the King of Qin has also come to Jiayuguan. That boy is not a good person to deal with!"
The king of Linzi was happy, but he was unprevented to break the cold water. He was secretly unhappy in his heart, but there was no sign on his face. He smiled and said, "Do you know the king of Qin?"
The man in black took a moment with his hand holding the copper cup, and a cold smile overflowed out. "A few years ago, there was a fate. At that time, he was just a yellow-haired boy, but in recent years, his majestic deeds could be heard everywhere, and his actions became more and more fierce. If I had known this, I should have been killed in those years. He!"
The king of Linzi's heart moved and asked, "Do you see that Mr. Fei and the king of Qin have a deep hatred?"
The man in black took a moment and said, "It's some old things. There is no hatred, but we only see one person who must die!"
The king of Linzi felt puzzled in his heart, but he didn't ask again. The man in black robe looked at him faintly and asked, "Does the princess have any whereabouts?"
The king of Linzi's face darkened, and his eyes said gloomyly, "The whereabouts of almost all the people who went out to chase that day were unknown, including Pan'er. They really don't know life and death!"
The man in the black robe said, "The princess has his own appearance. The prince doesn't have to worry too much. At present, it's better to prepare for the war!"
The king of Linzi was gloomy for a while and said righteously, "What's what you said!" The two of them ate a few more glasses of wine, and smelled a soldier outside and said, "Your Majesty, it's not a big deal!"
The king of Linzi paused and asked harshly, "What happened?"
The soldiers outside reported: "A lot of soldiers have been found to have signs of poisoning in the barracks one after another, and even the military doctors can't find out what kind of poison they have been poisoned!"
The king of Linzi's face stiffened, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He got up and said, "Sir, I'll go back later!"
The king of Linzi resigned the man in black and quickly walked to the wounded soldier's medical account. He walked in and saw that in addition to the wounded soldiers who had just been sent, there were poisoned soldiers lying on the other side, which filled the medical accounts, and many of them were lying on the ground. He stood at the door and didn't go in. He saw two soldiers coming out carrying a pair of stretchers. The king of Linzi asked, "What's wrong?"
The soldier said, "Go back to the prince, he has lost his breath!"
King Linzi turned sideways and asked the soldier to carry the body out first. He entered and glanced at the poisoned wounded soldiers. He saw that each face seemed to be covered with a layer of black veil, groaning, moaning and rolling all over the ground!
General Linzi Wang's doctor called and asked, "What kind of poison can be found out?" Is there a way to detoxify?"
The military doctor was an old man with a white beard. He wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "I'm incompetent. I really can't find out what poison is caused by it, let alone the method of detoxification!"
King Linzi's face was gloomy, "Can you find out the source of the poison?"
The military doctor said, "According to my guess, it's the water source!"
The king of Linzi was shocked, "Water source!" If the water source is poisoned, it will be more than these people, and if they know that there is a problem with the water source, the military will definitely be in chaos! The king of Linzi decided to make a decision immediately and said, "This matter should not be revealed. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
The military doctor bowed and said, "I dare not!"
The king of Linzi looked coldly at the poisoned soldiers again and said coldly, "Kill all the poisoned people and bury them!"
A deputy general of the King of Linzi asked, "How to solve the water source?"
The king of Linzi gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw troops first! You quickly take a few powerful people to trace the truth about water poisoning, and give you a day. If there is no result, come and see!"
"Yes!"
The king of Linzi hurried back to the military tent and told the man in black robe what he saw. The man in black robe muttered slightly and said, "Although I have no choice but to withdraw, there is nothing I can do at this time!" He frowned again and said, "But there is such a master of using poison in Jiayu Pass, which is beyond my expectation. I will think about this person for a while!" It's just that my brother is not here. He is a master witch doctor. If there is him, how can this poison do anything about him?
The king of Linzi hurriedly asked, "Where is your brother now?"
The man in black said lightly, "I haven't seen my brother for more than 30 years, and now I don't know where he is!"
The king of Linzi looked disappointed and said with half a sound, "I'm afraid those princes are going to make trouble again!"
The man in black robe smiled coldly and pinched it hard. He saw that the copper cup in his hand had been pinched and changed its shape. The king of Linzi only said, "Sir, what a good kung fu!"
