Since that day, Gu Xinyu has been there once, and he saw the black oil site controlled by the military, as well as the secret base in the valley not far away.

I can't help but sigh that the war seems to be really close.

Hou Ye is still sitting in the military camp, and the main people in charge here are Grandpa Guo and Fu Shu, and the two assistants are Gu Jinyu and his son.

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, and in just ten days, they developed a weapon that made fire bombs from large jars and used the kind of stone-throwing weapons used to attack cities.

Gu Xinyu watched them demonstrate once, which was no less than a shell.

So now the people here are all excited and high-spirited, and in the same way, the secrecy work is also very good, because the road to Shouchang City here is temporarily blocked.

If you want to go south, you have to take another road, but the distance is farther.

So this is a secret base, and the occasional explosions in the valley are heard, and no one can hear them, and the horses here have long gagged their ears with cotton

After Gu Xinyu returned to Rongcheng, she didn't have time to go out, but she was in Taoyuan Villa.

There is still half a month to go before the New Year, and Gu Xinyu has too many things to arrange and pay for money

The first thing to do is the condolences of the barracks, Gu Xinyu doesn't have much cotton cloth or anything, but he eats more.

So the sergeants of the barracks were given all kinds of food in ten wagons.

There are all kinds of eggs and pickles pickled in the pickle shop, ten pigs were killed, and some chickens and ducks, although these meats are a drop in the bucket, but they are Gu Xinyu's thoughts.

Of course, Hou Ye accepted it with a smile on his face.

I was also relieved. This eldest daughter-in-law is really thoughtful.

Of course, it was Grandpa Guo and Fu Shu who were guarding the valley, in addition to the difficult accommodation conditions, the food was very good, because Gu Xinyu sent Uncle Wang to send some food from time to time, especially those pickled eggs at this time, which were very popular.

There is also a shabu-shabu hot pot from time to time, stewed in an iron pot, and there is also a frozen river nearby, so there will definitely be fresh cold-water fish. All of this makes the hard life in the wilderness less difficult.

Of course, the more fire bombs you make, the better. However, the first batch had to be delivered to the southern border in the fastest possible time. Because it's still in a state of stalemate.

According to Fu Shu's description, the walls of the Nanyue Kingdom were covered with poisonous snakes and scorpions, and then the Nanyue people also put poisonous water in the moat.

This made the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty unable to get close to half a minute at all.

In addition, there is a witch in Wangcheng who knows some witchcraft, and gathers together the people of Nanyue who are good at using poison. Smeared them with poison. And of course, they are not afraid of the poisonous water of the moat. So often in the middle of the night, he swam out of the river, and then secretly came to the camp of the Zhou Dynasty. They did not go in, but put into the camp the poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions that had been hidden and fed.

Although there is a detoxification pill, sometimes death is only a moment, and sometimes it is still asleep, so when it is discovered, it is also powerless.

Because after all, it's just a poison pill, not a miracle medicine to bring the dead back to life.

So inevitably, the death rate of soldiers in the Zhou Dynasty was gradually rising.

Zhou Muhan responded in a timely manner, he led everyone to dig a trench, surrounded the camp, lit a bonfire by the ditch every night, and then the soldiers took turns to guard, so as to avoid a large number of deaths of soldiers.

But this stalemate is not a way after all, although the siege of the city is also a war strategy, but the population of Nanyue is not large, and in recent years, a large number of materials have been snatched from the border of the Zhou Dynasty, and in the south is a dense forest, and the country of Nanyue is like a barrier, separating these two places.

According to the people of the rivers and lakes who secretly checked some time ago, Yan San reported that the forest is evergreen all year round, there are many wild fruits and beasts there, and there are no poisons and miasma, so it has become a big warehouse for the people of South Vietnam.

According to these estimates, such a stalemate is three or even five years, and the people of South Vietnam can afford it, so it is no wonder that there is singing there every night, and the city is also brightly lit at night.

The most important thing is that as the temperature rises, the rainy season is expected to start in a month's time.

At that time, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty must no longer be able to stay here, because with the arrival of the rainy season, the miasma in the forest is also serious.

At that time, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty had to retreat if they didn't retreat, and if they wanted to attack, they had to wait until winter came.

This made Zhou Muhan very anxious, and also reported the situation to Emperor Jianyuan, although he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the situation was out of control, Emperor Jianyuan had already made a reply, and retreated before the rainy season.

This is also Zhou Muhan's idea, it is very important to preserve strength.

Moreover, in this battle, the South Vietnamese State lost almost half of its troops, even if the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty retreated, but the national border was no longer the former national border.

The territory of the Zhou Dynasty expanded to the south by another 500 li. Emperor Jianyuan sent officials to build a small city there, because the four seasons are like spring here, so no matter when and where, you can build houses.

This was actually the biggest victory in decades, and Emperor Jianyuan was very satisfied.

And now it's different, the first batch of made firebombs with barrels of black oil has been quietly and quickly transported to the south in the middle of the night, and it is expected to arrive in a month, Hou Ye sent two teams of cavalry and two teams of soldiers of the iron-blooded battalion with about 3,000 people to escort them.

In case something happened on the road, Gu Xuan also went, although he was a Wenchen, but he thought that the road was far away, and he was accompanied by deputy generals, and there were many places where he needed to communicate with the local government and ask for assistance.

These things need to be done by a person in the officialdom, and this matter is still under wraps, so only Gu Xuan is the most suitable person.

Although Yuan Niang was reluctant in every way, it was not easy for this eldest son to come back once, and he didn't stay at home for a few days, so he had to go far away, of course Yuan Niang was reluctant.

Although he was reluctant, he still had to let go, but he just prepared the items he was carrying, and Gu Xinyu actually wanted to follow, according to the original plan, Emperor Jianyuan sent someone to implement this matter, and it would take a month to get it, and then there were all kinds of cumbersome things that needed to be improved.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jianyuan was even more anxious than he imagined, and he actually sent the eldest prince, so many things, things that needed the assistance of the Zhangli City government, became much simpler, and the saltpeter was sent in the fastest time.

In this way, all this was advanced by a month, and Gu Xinyu couldn't leave at all, but after sulking for a day, he suddenly thought that a month later, when various types of fire bombs were transported to the southern border pass, this stalemate war would have a shocking reversal.

Aren't your walls crawling with vipers? Are they afraid of fire?

What will the poisonous water in the moat look like when it burns?

I believe that this war does not need to enter the city, and the raging heavenly fire will make the South Vietnamese people surrender without a fight!

Surrendering without a fight is what Gu Xinyu wants to see the most (to be continued. )
