Regarding the discoloration of the water tank, of course, it is also the ghost of Huaxing and Tang Sheng.

As early as before Tang Sheng went out to purchase, Huaxing had a bold idea:

He wanted to turn the other party's water source red before the earthquake to increase the effect of the disaster.

But because Hua Xing didn't know what to use to dye in this era, he could only hand over this task to Tang Sheng.

As the son of a businessman, Tang Sheng really dabbled in some knowledge of dyes before joining the army. So when I went out, I bought a lot of madder and came back.

Madder is a common Chinese herbal medicine that is harmless to humans.

Its branches and leaves look green, but its roots are dark red, and it is one of the dyes commonly used in ancient times.

As early as this morning, Tang Sheng ordered people to put a large amount of madder roots in the upper reaches of the stream, and used fishing nets to block the grass roots and soak them in the stream. As a result, the mountain springs have been dyed red for a long time. At first glance, it looks like a mountain spring "gushing blood".

Although the deterrent effect of this move is not as direct as throwing stones from the top of the mountain, it can also play a role in adding some fuel to the fire.

is like Ah Mao in the water house, if he hadn't seen the scene of "blood gushing from the mountain spring" with his own eyes, he would not have been the first to collapse and shout to run away.

"The general praises! Subordinates, subordinates have only done their best. Compared to the general, my little credit is insignificant. ”

After hugging his fists and replying, he saw Tang Sheng take two steps closer and said with admiration in his eyes:

"It's you, the general, who not only summoned a terrible mountain earthquake, but also led 500 soldiers to defeat the opponent's 3,000 thieves, which is really powerful! By the way, General, since you know such a powerful summoning technique, why didn't you use it earlier? ”

Seeing that he asked about this, Hua Xing's face immediately crossed a wry smile.

Because only he knows that this earthquake was not "called" by him. He just took advantage of the future and foresaw it in advance.

Before crossing over, Hua Xing had read a document about ancient Chinese disasters.

He didn't remember why he read it, or when or where he read it.

He only remembered that there were many records about the Eastern Han Dynasty in the book, and one of them was written like this: "In the first year of the first peace, Lixia, the five stars were wrong, and Luoyang was shocked." ”

It was precisely because he had seen this record that he heard Tang Sheng say the day before yesterday that this year was the first year of Chuping, and it was about to arrive in Lixia, that Huaxing suddenly remembered this matter, and therefore set up this "earthquake plan".

Qiankun Mountain, located in the west of Luoyang, is only a hundred miles away.

As long as there is an earthquake in Luoyang, there will be a tremor in Qiankun Mountain, and Huaxing has no doubts about this.

But even if he knew that there would be an earthquake, how could he use it to win the battle?

This may seem simple, but it's not easy.

Because the records of this earthquake in the ancient books are too vague, there are only three words - Luoyang earthquake.

Except for knowing that it would occur on the day of the beginning of summer, there is no important information about the time of the earthquake, the intensity of the earthquake, and the duration of the earthquake.

Especially the intensity of the earthquake, if it is unpredictable, Huaxing is really difficult to use.

Because if the earthquake is strong, then he doesn't have to arrange anything, just wait for the earth to shake and collapse the rocks, and he can win.

But if it is only a small earthquake, it will be difficult to cause substantial damage to the enemy troops in the wall.

In addition, the duration of the earthquake is generally only about half a minute, and it is likely that the thieves just felt the tremor, and it ended in two clicks.

If this is the case, it will be the same as not being shaken, and it will be difficult to turn it into victory.

Therefore, if he wants to use the earthquake to formulate a decent battle plan, he must first figure out whether the so-called "Lixia Earthquake" is a big earthquake or a small earthquake.

Although there is no answer to this question in the book, after a little thought, Huaxing guessed the result: the earthquake in Lixia must be a small earthquake.

Because whenever there is a major earthquake, the records in the book will be relatively detailed, and it is rarely so simple.

For example, in 70 B.C., there was a major earthquake in the Changle area of Zhucheng, Shandong, and the book reads:

"Emperor Xuan was originally forty-nine earthquakes in the first four years of the county, or landslides and waters. Beihai evil ancestral temple city outline, killing more than 6,000 people. ”

There is also a slightly simpler one: "In the fourth year of Emperor Jianzhao of the Han Yuan Dynasty, Lantian earthquake, landslide, and water." Anyang shore collapse. Jing water, Jing water counterflow. ”

It is not difficult to see that in the recording of major earthquakes, in addition to the location and time, the recorder usually has to talk about the scope of the earthquake and the damage situation.

And a record like this, which is only a few words, does not look like an event that wants to be remembered by history, otherwise the recorder would not be so light-hearted.

Therefore, in Huaxing's view, this earthquake is a low-intensity earthquake.

Since it was a small earthquake, it was impossible to let it destroy the enemy army directly.

If you want to use this to win the battle, the best way is to fight a "heart-to-heart battle" with the other side.

As long as the other party is convinced that this is a disaster that is enough to destroy the world, the enemy in the village will be defeated.

So, after thinking all night, Huaxing finally came up with this "summoning" plan.

But in the process of implementation, there are two problems that he needs to solve:

First, although he knew that the earthquake was on the day of the beginning of summer, there were 24 hours in a day, and he did not know exactly when the earthquake would occur.

So Hua Xing came to the altar before dawn this morning, and then sat on it and never came down. I waited about four or five hours before the earthquake finally came.

Second, if the earthquake is too small or too short-lived, it will certainly not be enough to break the morale of the enemy.

Therefore, he arranged links such as "building an altar to worship the sky", "madder dyeing water", "climbing mountains and falling rocks", etc., in order to enhance the effect of the disaster.

Judging from the results so far, the effect is not bad.

But as a soldier in the 22nd century, how did Huaxing know how to build an altar?

To say this, it has nothing to do with his future memories, but the "new knowledge" he learned in the palace a while ago.

At that time, Gonggong Gui was afraid that Huaxing would be bored, so he found a lot of books to read, one of which was dedicated to the worship of previous emperors.

Not only the altar is mentioned inside, but also the sacrifices, the hours, the dress, the taboos, and many other aspects.

After Huaxing saw it, he just remembered it, and this time it came in handy.

The so-called open book is beneficial, and it is a good point to say.

Seeing that Hua Xing didn't speak for a long time after hearing his question, and there was still a mysterious smile on his face, Tang Sheng had no choice but to ask again:

"General, why don't you speak? If you had used the arcane art earlier, wouldn't we have won a long time ago? ”

In this matter, Huaxing definitely can't tell Tang Sheng the truth.

Because even if you say it, the other party may not believe it.

So after thinking for a while, I saw Hua Xing pretending to shake his head profoundly, leaving only six big words in his mouth:

"Don't leak it!"
