When they were fifty miles away from Jingyang, Chen Chu and the others couldn't walk anymore.

Everywhere there were people who had fled, and even the people of the government had withdrawn.

The sergeants of Zhechong Mansion were collected by Su Dingfang, and at this time a huge temporary camp was built in the field for the hungry and thirsty people and livestock to rest.

"The locust plague west of Jingyang is completely out of control, all the crops and trees have been eaten, and there is no need for us to rush over again."

Su Dingfang reported to Chen Chu: "The situation in Longxi is similar, the two adults of Fang Du are organizing a fight against locusts in the area of Chencang, Lord Chen, what do you think we should do?" ”

Chen Chu looked at this chaotic scene and couldn't figure out the current situation, but it didn't matter, Xiao Su was good at this kind of scene.

During his inquiry, Su Dingfang told him: "At present, there are more than 20,000 people gathered nearby, and the number of sergeants is more than 7,000 in total, and most of them are government soldiers from Jingyang. ”

"Because the people carry rations and have enough for the time being, but there is not enough water, and the people are slow, I am afraid they will not rest long before they will set out at once."

Chen Chu nodded: "Don't panic, Xiao Su, you let your men collect and make nets, and strive for one person who can do it, and all the young men and women in the people will come out to fight the locusts with us, and the old and weak will be sent away immediately after a little rest." ”

"Trapping, does this work?"

Su Dingfang asked, apart from Lord Chen's terrifying artifact, he didn't know what they could do in the face of the overwhelming flying locusts, even if there was an army, they were helpless.

These guys are flying in the sky, even if the altitude is low, they are not at will.

"I'll use ***** to break up the core locusts, and the rest will flow around, so you can catch them and burn them on the spot."

Chen Chu said, and then pointed behind him: "The grass crops behind us have been patronized by the advance locust swarm, you go to a fire and burn it, and make a separation zone." ”

"In this way, if we light a fire here, the flames will not continue to spread back, and we can rest assured that we can burn locusts here."

"And when these beasts see that there is fire everywhere in front of them, and they seek advantage and avoid harm under heavy losses, they will naturally retreat and detour."

Hearing Chen Chu's explanation, Su Dingfang's heart was slightly relieved, although Datang had never had such a thing as a separation zone, but he understood this principle.

He is well versed in warfare, and knows that when there were fires in the grasslands in history, there were herders who used this method to prevent the fire from spreading.

I didn't expect Lord Chen to know this kind of thing, it's really unfathomable.

Because of the large number of soldiers gathered, plus the thousands of young men and officials selected from the common people, there were many men, some of them were responsible for setting fires in the back, and some of them made nets out of various materials.

A huge area was filled with incendiary materials they had collected from all over the place, and as the people had rested and left, they lit fires.

Caught locusts are burned here and then buried in a pit on the spot.

Rumble!!!

The swarms of locusts that almost obscured the sun all over the sky crackled and fell in the flames that erupted in an instant.

Where the fire swept through, the entire sky was cleared, and the ground was covered with charred black matter.

Even if someone from the Xiao Cavalry Guard described it to them before, the officers and soldiers of Jingyang Mansion were still dumbfounded at this time.

There were even many people who knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu looked back, and the startled gun was almost unstable.

, it's time for you to do it, what are you kneeling down for Lao Tzu, I won't accept my godson!

may be due to the fact that there are too many people kneeling and the scene is too absurd, this time complaining about Chen Chu has earned a thousand points!

At the same time, there seemed to be some reward, but Chen Chu couldn't care about it.

Su Dingfang came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered the sergeants to follow and follow the original plan.

But where can the soldiers get up, this is like a miracle, where is the world supposed to be? In an instant, it was a fire that penetrated the sky and the earth, and this is simply the fire god in the world!

There was no way, when Chen Chu was taken to another firing point by a group of strong men, and Chen Chu burned the sky clean with another fire, the souls of most of the sergeants returned to their bodies.

Su Dingfang smiled bitterly, compared to the day, the fire last night was more terrifying, after all, it was dark at that time.

The swarms of locusts that were burned by the waves of fire and high temperatures, because the core area was burned out in an instant, flew scattered in all directions, and hit the nets of tens of thousands of people head-on.

A net came down, perhaps because of these two flames, and experienced people found that the locusts were much better than usual.

Dumbfounded, can't see the road clearly, can't hear the sound, and likes to get together, there are dozens or hundreds of them on the Internet.

Dozens of large fires burst into flames, and a net of locusts was thrown into it to burn into charcoal, which provided energy for the flames, and the fire became more and more vigorous.

Su Dingfang personally led a group of strong men in the army and ran around with Chen Chu non-stop.

Every time ***** spray, the concentrated locust swarm will also wither in an instant.

Tens of millions of irresistible evil things disappeared in an instant, even if Su Dingfang watched it many times, he still saw the shock every time he watched it.

Fortunately, there is only one such thing in the world, and fortunately, the enemies of Datang do not have this thing in their hands!

Until dusk, the wasteland was filled with the smell of choking fireworks, and the smell of burning, and the heat wave was pervasive, and most of the sergeants had taken off their clothes, still covered in sweat.

"Okay, let's retreat, retreat to the high ground behind where the smoke and fire can't float and set up camp first, and wait tomorrow to see how the locust plague is going nearby, if it is controlled, we will go to the south to support Fangdu and their direction."

Chen Chu took off the protective suit, still waiting for the barrel to cool down and locking it in the safe.

Su Dingfang was also tired and hungry, so he gathered the sergeant and dealt with the aftermath.

The team composed of government soldiers, Qingzhuang and Jingyang officials slowly retreated, and when they retreated to a hill, they finally breathed fresh and cool air again.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, Chen Chu raised his eyes and looked at it, but there was no longer a single locust in his field of vision, and the locust plague in the direction of Jingyang was basically controlled.

He returned to the carriage and saw a large cylindrical transparent plastic bucket next to the seat!

A bucket of pure water!

Without any explanation, Chen Chu recognized what it was at a glance.

Such a pure water bucket is filled with a full twenty kilograms of water, which can be drunk when taken out, disease-free and sterile, and has been used by people to drink directly in later generations, not to mention the worrying health of the Tang Dynasty!

For Datang, this water is a sweet spring.

Chen Chu squatted on the ground with emotion and touched the heavy bucket, and then glanced at the exchange value, the price is not cheap, a bucket is worth 10.

But it's already very good, although the price doesn't make it accessible to more people, as long as someone can drink it.
