read_content_up; Next to the swamp, there was the body of a salvaged Qin soldier. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info was like a punctured water bladder, shriveled and paralyzed on the ground, countless insects crawled around on him, but he was afraid that the torches in the hands of the Qin soldiers did not run elsewhere.

It turned out that in less than a stick of incense, the bodies of these Guilin soldiers who had fallen into the swamp were hollowed out by the insects, and only the thin layer of human skin on the outside of the body remained!

Under the swamp more than ten zhang square, the muddy sewage was constantly churning at this moment, and from time to time there were rolling black insects rolling out of the water in a clump and then submerging into the swamp.

The dense black worm mass that appeared in the swamp made the Guilin soldiers around the swamp all turn white. Obviously, this small swamp is the nest that has hollowed out the flesh and blood of Feng Fan and others, and I don't know how many such bugs there are in it.

But one thing that can be reassured is that these bugs don't seem to be able to come ashore.

Looking at the corpses of Feng Fan and dozens of other Qin soldiers covered by dense black worms, Feng Zai knew that even if Feng Fan and the others were fished up, they would be like the Guilin soldiers who were fished up before.

"Fetch the oil."

Although Feng Zheng was sad in his heart, as a commander of the army, he knew that he could not mess up at the moment. Looking back at the Feng clan's clan guard who had reported the news earlier, he burst out.

"Whoa!"

In a short time, more than a dozen barrels filled with what appeared to be liquid were transported by a group of soldiers to the swamp.

"Dig into it again to see if this swamp is all there is to it."

Because of this swamp, Feng Fan and the others who were exploring the path were all killed, and the army had completely stopped advancing at this moment.

No one knows if this swamp is really as it has been revealed, only a dozen zhang in circumference. If you don't figure out the swampy area and venture forward, you'll be gambling with the lives of ordinary soldiers.

Soon, thousands of soldiers rolled over the thick logs, which were more than a foot long.

This is the experience of discovering and dealing with such deeply hidden swamps that the Guilin Army summed up in the rest of the month. Each log weighs no less than hundreds of pounds. A row rolls over, and even the deep swamp will be pressed down and revealed. On top of that, each log is propelled forward by a long stick, which is then lassoed with a rope that presses the log out of the swamp and does not normally sink into the swamp. Of course, even if it sinks into the swamp, it can be pulled up again with a rope for recycling.

In this way, even if there are any unknown beasts lurking in the swamp, they will not hurt anyone.

Of course. Everyone in the Guilin Army knows that the primeval jungle is indeed dangerous. But even more dangerous are the large clearings that suddenly appear in the primeval jungle.

It is very likely that such a clearing will be a swamp with a huge scope. And where Feng Fan and the others fell, there were open spaces and trees, which was why Feng Fan and the others fell into the swamp.

In a moment, the shape of the Kung Fu swamp appeared.

Sure enough, it was not just the place where Feng Fan and the others fell. Instead, it surrounds a tall tree. It has an area of nearly 30 zhang.

After a while, because of the obstruction of trees, three more Guilin soldiers fell into the swamp. They didn't even have time to scream, and when the soldiers behind them pulled the ropes around their waists, they only recovered empty ropes that were still in a slipknot. There wasn't even blood on it.

In just a few breaths, a living person was hollowed out of all his flesh and blood by insects. The power of the insects made the Guilin soldiers shudder.

More than a dozen tightly sealed wooden barrels were opened, revealing the black viscous liquid inside the barrels. It exudes a pungent scent. If there are people in later generations at this time, they will definitely be able to identify it immediately, and the thing in this wooden barrel that Feng Zai called fire oil is the most important energy source that is absolutely indispensable for future generations, oil.

Of course. At this moment, the oil used by Feng Zai and the others is still crude oil.

This oil was collected by Hu Hai from the two counties of Bashu and sent to Xiang County by Longwei Mansion for Feng Zai's use.

Crude oil is insoluble in water, and it is extremely adherent, and ordinary water will not make these crude oil fail and no longer burn. Water is even more inextinguishable.

Such a good thing is suitable for use in places like Indochina where it is rainy and wet.

Hu Haitong prepared less than 300 barrels of crude oil for Feng Zao.

After all, through the vast primeval jungle, and this primeval jungle sink is also densely covered with all kinds of large and small water systems. Large-scale heavy weapons, such as large-scale crossbow machines, cannot be used at all, and are not easy to transport, which can easily add one burden or another to logistics.

Nowadays, the sixteen legions of Great Qin, including the guards who are mainly stationed in various counties without numbers, have a strict division of various arms.

On the basis of the original cavalry, scouts (scouts), infantry and other troops, Hu Hai once again added three new types of troops to each legion: baggage troops, logistics troops, and medical soldiers.

Baggage and logistic soldiers, as well as medical personnel, will not be directly involved in the fighting. The baggage soldiers are mainly responsible for the transportation of logistics baggage. The equipment on their bodies was not equipped except for the knives and armor that would not affect their movements, and even the Qin crossbow, which was necessary for the Qin army. The logisticians and medics did not even have weapons except for the necessary armor.

The weapons of the logistics soldiers are naturally a cauldron and other things; The Medic is a medical kit.

The various legions of Great Qin have gradually entered the trend of specialization and professionalization.

Like this expedition, the Guilin Army, the Southern Navy, the Jiuyuan Army, and the Pingyi Army did not recruit any civilians to participate. The supply of baggage and heavy supplies is done by the armies of all walks of life.

Although this increases the burden on the army and seems to weaken the combat effectiveness of the army, it is actually an inevitability to make Daqin's army more professional.

Except for the medical staff from the medical school of the Great Qin Royal Academy, the training of the baggage soldiers and logistics soldiers is no different from that of ordinary soldiers. That is, except for the difference in the division of labor, there is no difference in combat power. Once the whole army is in an unfavorable situation, these baggage troops and logistics troops can be directly equipped with weapons and go to the battlefield.

The 100,000 troops of each legion do not include the number of soldiers of baggage and logistics troops. In other words, the various legions of Great Qin are said to be 100,000 troops, but in fact, if you add the baggage soldiers and logistics troops, the number of soldiers in a complete legion is far more than 100,000. The base is about 120,000 people.

In addition to nearly three hundred barrels of oil, Hu Hai also prepared one hundred barrels of explosives for Feng Zao. These explosives are all sharp weapons for cracking rocks. For more than a month, gunpowder and gunpowder have helped Feng Zheng a lot.

However, compared to oil, which can also be burned in water, gunpowder is much more difficult to wait. Therefore, the two hundred dead soldiers of the Longwei Mansion were specially responsible for protecting these gunpowders, and sealed them tightly with tightly sealed glue wax.

Nearly ten barrels of oil were poured down the swamp in a circle, and the viscous liquid wrapped the entire swamp firmly. Then, the Guilin soldiers opened ten barrels of fire oil again, and then poured them into the swamp.

A thick layer of rotting leaves floated above the swamp, as well as a few logs that could not be recovered. In a short time, the black oil slowly spread the entire swamp.

The black worms in the swamp didn't seem to sense any danger, and rolled in a clump of black and sticky oil. The viscous oil, perhaps to them, was similar to the mud in the swamp.

The insect of black SE is the fire oil of black SE, and the roots can't tell which is the insect which is the fire oil.

But that's not a problem.

As Feng Zheng's right hand, whose eyes were bloodshot, fell heavily, one by one torches were thrown into the swamp. In less than a moment, the entire swamp turned into a sea of fire.

The Guilin soldiers had already opened a firebreak and cleaned up all the flammable materials in a circle around the swamp. The fire could not spread through the swamp and burned into the surrounding jungle.

If it burns into the surrounding jungle, I am afraid that the Guilin soldiers will burn themselves and others to death in this primeval jungle. After all, fire oil is not afraid of this humid environment.

The piercing and mournful sound of "squeaking" in the sea of fire continued to sound.

Everyone knew that it was the sound of a black squirt bug being burned to death in fire oil.

It's just that the corpses of dozens of robes can never be brought back to Xianyang for burial.

"Keep moving! Great Qin will win! ā€

Feng Zheng glanced at the swamp where the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and said in a deep voice.

With this swamp blocking the way, the Guilin army could only bypass and find a new passage. After all, although the fire oil is powerful, I don't know how many insects there are in the swamp, and no one knows how many insects this fire can burn to death.

"Great Qin will win!"

In the southernmost south of Great Qin, the overwhelming shouts rose to the sky in the depths of the vast primeval jungle. Countless dead leaves fell and seemed to tremble.

After more than a month of marching, every day there will be brothers around me who will die. No one has counted how many casualties the Guilin army has suffered so far.

After the initial panic, the Guilin soldiers, who had become accustomed to this deep and dangerous primeval jungle, were not only not knocked down by the threats lurking in this primeval jungle, but on the contrary, they aroused the hatred of the Guilin soldiers.

Travel through this jungle and conquer this jungle.

It has become an obsession in the hearts of Guilin soldiers. Even if the bones are buried in this jungle, even if there are no bones like Feng Fan and others. So what?

How could the Qin people be afraid?

How could the Great Qin soldiers be afraid?

In the vast primeval jungle, a long black dragon is winding forward. Gradually sinking into the depths of the jungle of dark green se.

……

Great Qin Western Regions County, compared with the smooth Yuzi period and Feng Zheng, who already had the will to die, the White Tiger General Du Teng has been very depressed recently, and it can also be said that Du Teng has been very depressed since the White Tiger Army took the Western Regions.
