Chapter 567 Northern Xinjiang (5)
What you are proficient in is your own, and others can't take it away even if they want to use means.
It's just that the cultivation progress of the True Word Poison Determination is not fast, it not only requires you to have a certain amount of cultivation talent, but also requires a considerable degree of knowledge of poison arts.
Although the mantra poison is very detailed, it is still difficult to understand, and Chen Zheng's previous knowledge of poison can be said to be a blank.
The existence of poison and medicine is one thing, and whether you have perseverance is another.
Compared to other martial arts knowledge, poison and medicine are relatively fair.
Through the efforts of the day after tomorrow, it is also possible to catch up with the footsteps of geniuses, and it is true diligence that can make up for the shortcomings.
Perhaps the talent of the person is average, but after years of study, the contact with herbs and patients will make great progress in medical skills and poison techniques.
Of course, this premise is that people really learn, not reading a book and thinking about a book to heal the world, which is something that can only be done by geniuses, not ordinary people.
Chen Zheng has been learning the basic knowledge according to the above since he got the Truth Poison Kill, but his own talent is average, although he has the best poison gas, but that is because the materials he used to make the Hundred Poison Medicine Soup are exquisite and the effect is very good, coupled with the existence of the Golden Silk Gu Worm, he will not be poisoned, but will achieve the best poison gas.
Although the basic knowledge of poison art is recorded in detail, and some parts have annotations made by Poison Immortal Sanren, it is still difficult to learn such a field that Chen Zheng is unfamiliar with.
Up to now, Chen Zheng can configure some basic poisons, but the effect is average, and it can only be used on martial artists below the luck realm, and it is not as effective as directly hitting the poisonous gas in his body into the enemy's body.
And this is still Chen Zheng's progress under the guidance of Xu Xiaoxiao, otherwise Chen Zheng used to study mechanically according to the exercises step by step, and his understanding was a little worse, and many times he had to figure out how this knowledge was, and even some places still couldn't understand it, there was no way, the talent was not enough, and the exercises were so mysterious.
You may not be able to understand just by looking at the text, a simple example is that you can hardly remember that one plus one equals two, but why is one plus one equal to two, which requires professional people to interpret, but it is a pity that the Poison Immortal Scattered People are no longer there, and there is no one to guide Chen Zheng, after all, the truth is almost a single transmission, and no one knows the content, let alone the guidance.
Therefore, Chen Zheng's progress by himself is relatively slow.
Fortunately, Xu Xiaoxiao came later, her achievements in poison art are very good, although the cultivation has been suppressed due to the influence, but the theoretical knowledge is very rich, Chen Zheng can ask Xu Xiaoxiao for advice if he doesn't understand.
Anyway, it can be regarded as a good trading partner, and Xu Xiaoxiao is a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect and a person in the Demon Gate, but she did not learn the radical practices of the Demon Gate, but was a very simple researcher.
Even she and Chen Zheng looked through the truth together, while helping Chen Zheng, Xu Xiaoxiao herself could also learn from the experience of her predecessors that was beneficial to herself.
Just when Chen Zheng was still thinking about his brain, a relatively muffled horn sound interrupted Chen Zheng's thoughts and brought him back to his senses.
This horn sound is not the military horn on Beiyan's side, and it sounds like it has a desolate, wild feeling. Desktop:
The horns of the Central Plains countries are mostly made of metal, while the steppe people use horns more often, so the sound is different when they are blown, and they can be recognized when they are heard.
Chen Zheng and the others didn't understand the symbol of the horn sound, but Wu Tong and Yan Xuelan, who had experience in fighting with the grassland people, could immediately understand the meaning of the horn representative, which was the signal of the grassland people's attack.
Attacking directly as soon as they come up has always been the style of the steppe people, and camping and the like are the practices of the Central Plains countries, which is out of consideration for morale.
The steppe people need to think about morale, no, as long as they go out to fight, these heroic steppe warriors will be excited, and the closer they get to the goal, the more their emotions will rise, because it means that the battle will happen soon, and they can drink the blood of the enemy, which is simply too high.
As for whether those slaves have morale or not, it doesn't matter, they just have to bow their heads and obey orders, the steppe people will not take care of their feelings, as long as you work, who cares if your mood is good or bad?
"Raise your shield, raise your shield, defend yourself." Wu Tong calmly gave the order, at this time the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army were all at the head of the city, and there was no Luan Fengwei's sister, it was not that Wu Tong didn't want Yan Xuelan's team to play, but Luan Fengwei's shield was relatively small, at most it could hold half of his body, and almost all of the Zhenbei Army were big shields, which could better resist attacks.
At the same time, there were also soldiers from the Fengchun Battalion at the head of the city, who held black iron shields and quickly formed a defensive line, which was not much faster than the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army.
They were all at the forefront, ready to meet the attack of the steppe people.
As for the rest of the martial arts masters, they are all in a slightly lower position.
Why not just use the ballista to shoot? Of course, it was to deal with the next move of the steppe people.
Those relatively rough catapults were pushed to the front line, and these jobs were all operated by slaves, completely pulled by manpower, and relatively primitive.
Although the movement speed is slow, but it can't stand the large number of slaves, and the speed of ten people can't pull up, then I'll come to a hundred.
Anyway, in the eyes of the people on Beiyan's side, the slaves below were densely packed like ants and dragged the catapult forward.
There were also slave leaders wielding whips, either shouting loudly or urging, and if there was a slow movement, he would give them two strokes to get them to work faster.
Sensing the firing position, the catapult stopped and began to reload.
The people at the pass all stared at the movement of the catapult with a serious face, and did not react.
This is the reason why Wu Tong did not let the ballista return fire, compared to the range, the catapult is much farther than the ballista, if the position of the city defense equipment on his side is exposed in advance, it is easy to be set on fire by the enemy's catapult.
Although the quality of the things produced by the grassland people is average, and the accuracy is also very average, they can't stand the large number of people, and there can be fifty or sixty units as far as the eye can see. It would take five or six thousand people to push the catapult forward alone.
Of course, it must not be forgotten that the ammunition of catapults does not come out of thin air, and throwing air will not be lethal, depending on the geographical location, some can be made of local materials, and some need to be prepared in advance.
Because this is a plain area, it is difficult to dig large rocks, and if you have someone who is proficient in earth attribute exercises but can turn soil into stone, you can directly use it as a stone that can be thrown. Bibi e-book bibi
Compared with ordinary stones, such stones are more lethal, heavier, and also have a little earth attribute vitality, and the vibration of the magic circle is much stronger than ordinary stones, but the martial artists who cultivate the earth attribute vitality are a little tired, and they have to keep making stones without stopping, and the consumption is larger.
In addition to these basic things, the steppe people use more disgusting things.
Like decomposing corpses, feces and the like.
This steppe has the most people, both human and animal, and can be collected and used as ammunition for siege along the way.
This is not only disgusting to the enemy, but also a very effective means of attack.
The smell of these corpses and feces mixed is very strong, there are a lot of toxins that can cause disease, plus the wizards of the steppe people use all kinds of means, these mixtures are like bombs, and the explosion is not only powerful, but also has a strong toxin, which is not low corrosive, whether it is to the magic circle or to the personnel, it has a strong lethality.
At the same time, it can also disgust the opponent psychologically, this kind of bad taste, the grassland people like it the most.
The first thing Daxingguan needs to meet is such a bombardment.
Soon one by one, the catapults were loaded, and there were stones and corpses inside, especially those corpses used special techniques, all of them were inflated like balloons, as if they were about to explode when touched, and they were full of all kinds of deadly toxins and evil martial arts and witchcraft, which were specially used to deal with the large array of the Northern Yan people.
For so many years, Beiyan's turtle shell magic circle is a headache for the grassland people, with the defense of the magic circle, the power of the bow and arrow that the grassland people are proud of will be weakened a lot, and the arrow that could have pierced the armor is likely to be weakened and can only leave a small white dot, which cannot have the desired effect.
It's just that there are more battles, and they also understand the magic circle, and the grassland people naturally have a little way, since the magic circle of the Northern Yan people is troublesome, they will destroy the magic circle, and use all kinds of filthy energy to lose a lot of vitality of the magic circle, and finally this magic circle will be successfully broken?
After the first wave of ammunition was loaded, the steppe people did not carry out aiming test firing at all, and directly pulled the rope and fired.
For this kind of relatively simple operation, Wu Tong and others are no longer surprised, in the past ten years, they have not fought with the grassland people, and they have long known that they have no habit of test firing, and prefer a simple and rough approach, which is a battle.
As a result, the angle and strength of this batch of stones were not very good, let alone touching the wall of the pass, and even the boundary of the outer circle was not touched.
Those stones still have a long distance to be able to touch, probably because of the lack of strength. It landed on the ground and smashed a very obvious crater, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
As for the corpse mixture, it was a little lighter and farther away, and it exploded on the outside of the circle, and all kinds of dirt inside splashed out and fell on the ground, and the ground turned black, and at the same time there was green smoke, which was obviously quite corrosive.
The others didn't react much, but Chen Zheng wanted to vomit a little after watching it, it was too disgusting, don't look at the battles he has experienced a lot, but the number of times he has faced such a disgusting thing is too small, and it is still a little difficult to accept for a while.
The first wave of slings didn't even hit the side, and the steppe people didn't feel the slap in the face, but there were still some tribal warriors who waved their whips and whipped the slaves while scolding the slave leaders to quickly adjust their positions and angles to attack.
Then he took the slave leader like a dog's leg, and whipped it up in style, urging the slaves under his management to readjust.
Soon the second wave of ammunition was reloaded.
Perhaps the whip had an effect, and this time the stones and mixture struck the circle accurately, sending ripples through the explosion and roar.
Twenty or thirty paces from the city wall, a faint curtain of light was propped up, and every explosion of stone and mixture was intercepted by it.
This is the Daxingguan guarding array, which is specially used to defend against the enemy's long-range attacks, whether you are a rain of arrows, martial arts, stone throwing, etc., will be blocked by the magic circle.
You steppe people know how to use slaves to consume the supplies, physical strength and energy of the garrison troops.
Then we Beiyan can also use the magic circle to achieve the same effect, and many times the war is not a competition for the consumption of both sides.
Now both sides are waiting to see if the circle will be breached.
If it is broken, the defenders of Daxingguan need to prepare to meet the enemy head-on, if it is not broken, the grassland people can only use manpower to destroy the big array, anyway, they are all consumption, the difference is that the things consumed are different.
As for wanting to destroy the catapult, don't think about it, the soldiers of Daxingguan can still have the possibility of fighting with the steppe people by virtue of the geographical advantage of the pass, if they can chase a lot of warriors on horseback of the steppe people on the plain.
Not every army can be like the Yanwu army, which can use the method of foot combat to have a head-to-head duel with cavalry on the plain and return with a great victory.
Below are 50,000 elite steppe warriors, and it is very fatal for them to rush up directly.
Therefore, we must find a way to consume the vitality of the steppe people, delay the time, and there will be reinforcements in a week, and then these steppe people will double again, and don't want to take Daxingguan.
In order to delay time, this Yuan Qi Stone is also in large supply, and it is not stingy at all.
Therefore, everyone could only hear the roar of the stones falling to the ground and the explosion of the mixture, but under the effect of the Guardian Circle, it did not hurt the city wall.
However, the light curtain is gradually weakening with the attacks again and again, and the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army are also reporting rapidly, and the consumption of vitality stones has begun to increase.
However, Wu Tong didn't care, and directly asked people to put all the vitality stones on it, if they could completely consume the ammunition of the catapult of the grassland people, they would be much more comfortable in the next battle to defend the city.
Exchanging a foreign object such as a Yuan Qi Stone for the soldiers' physical exertion is very small, and it is a very good deal.
The attack lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the light curtain looked like it was about to be destroyed, but it persisted.
At the critical moment, there is a wave of timely replenishment of energy to maintain the operation of the circle.
