Chapter Eighty-Seven: Queen Baiyue (Ask for Subscription!)
"Cover your face with a damp cloth of water, and work in groups of ten, with ropes attached, and support each other. ”
"Expose the skin, apply it with mud to avoid bites, and take all the pills to avoid poison and obstacles. ”
Wu crossed the border, and the Lei Leopard Guard led by Xiang Liang was making solemn preparations.
The swamp has always been a chilling place.
Sludge, traps, rotting, stinking.
The most dangerous thing is not these, but the ubiquitous biogas.
Biogas is poisonous, plants are not easy to grow, animals are not easy to survive, so it produces a ghostly smell and a desolate scene.
Except for the Baiyue people who have lived here for a long time, they have adapted to the environment, and almost all of them are dead and alive.
Therefore, when the Xiang clan led the Great Chu army to destroy Wu Yue, they avoided this kind of area, even if they would take a long detour and attack the city, they did not hesitate.
But this time, Xiang Liang only had a thousand guards under his command, and he had to use decapitation tactics, in order to avoid the Wu Yue scouts patrolling the border, they had to go deep in a roundabout way, so this swamp became the only way.
Xiang Liang showed the leadership talent of the Xiang clan, and the orders were issued one after another, and everyone worked together, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walking on the dry land at the edge of the swamp.
The swampy land seems to be forever autumn, and everywhere you look, there are dead trees, puddles and mud ponds one after another, and the sludge formed by rotting leaves turns into natural traps, and animal feces are mixed with it, giving off a disgusting stench.
There was silence all around, no sound could be heard, only the rustle of soldiers stepping on fallen leaves, breaking the gloomy silence.
If it's really psychological pressure, don't be afraid, the key is that the creatures in the swamp don't welcome these uninvited guests who break into their homes.
The first to strike were the snakes, slender vipers that snaked through the swamp and struck with lightning strikes.
But Lei Baowei had already prepared, with a poison avoidance pill in his mouth, and ten people were in a group, guarding all directions, and the spear was frequently stabbed.
The stinging snake is seven inches, fast and accurate, purely relying on strong personal combat power and tacit cooperation, moving steadily.
If you go on like this, you won't get much damage if you cross the swamp.
It's a pity that when we go deeper, more terrible enemies appear-
If you walk well, the trunk next to it will suddenly move, and the screams will start, and a living person will be bitten in two, and half of his body will be gone.
If you look closely, where is the trunk of the tree, it is clearly a crocodile, and the huge body swallows the hapless soldier with a flick.
In this era, the crocodile is the name in the "Book of Rites", and the ordinary people call it the earth dragon, which shows its might, not to mention that Lei Baowei's face is as pale as dirt, Xiang Liang did not dare to provoke the overlord in this swamp, so he had to flee in the wilderness.
Fortunately, the crocodile did not have a big appetite, and after eating a few, when it was full, it lazily rolled in the mud pond and crawled to the shore to bask in the sun, and did not pursue.
What is really terrifying is that the little lizards, which are not much bigger than poisonous snakes, not only move extremely fast, but also have webbed toes, and move their feet at high speed, so that they can't hear a sound, just like a master of light skills, walking on the ground in the swamp.
Compared with the snake meandering and crawling, you can be alert, these guys are elusive, and they are undoubtedly more terrible killers.
In a short time, there were nearly 100 casualties, and the deputy general discovered a secret and hurriedly announced: "Major General, these brutes have been trained by the Baiyue people, and they have the mark of Wu Guo on their backs!"
Indeed, the back of the lizard is engraved with a mark, which is the unique seal of the Wu Kingdom.
"Damn wildlings, so despicable!"
Xiang Liang scolded angrily in a low voice.
After Wu Yue returned to the country, the means changed, which made people careless, which can be seen from the previous border friction, never expected that even the swamp was set up in the "ambush".
"It's not good! Even lizards can be used, so what about the Gu poison method that Bai Yue is already good at? If he is surrounded by hundreds of people, the consequences are unimaginable!"
Xiang Liang's complexion changed, and he immediately made a decision, and shook his spear: "No, we can't spend it in the swamp, untie the rope, and rush forward!"
"Yes!"
The rope around his waist was severed, and the Thunder Leopard Guard took out their greatest strength of the thousand-mile run and began to run at high speed.
As long as I run fast, the trap can't catch up with me, which is undoubtedly a way to deal with it.
But if you go all the way, you are destined to cause huge casualties.
Almost every moment, there were soldiers who stepped into the air and fell into the mire, and in order not to affect their comrades, they did not call for help, gritted their teeth, and sank into the mud without saying a word.
Xiang Liang took the lead, he didn't look back, but his eyes were full of tears, and he rushed wildly.
Finally, the soft rays of the sun shone down, and the light and shadow of Ban Ti shone on the land, bringing the breath of life, and the swamp passed!
"We're out!
Xiang Liang couldn't wait to look up to the sky and roar, although the Thunder Leopard Guard who followed behind him suffered heavy casualties, but at least he did not fall into the enemy's encirclement.
However, at this moment, the sharp-eyed lieutenant general suddenly pointed ahead: "Major General, look, there's a wooden sign there!"
"Array!"
Xiang Liang was like a great enemy, and after the formation was completed, he slowly stepped forward, and saw that at the exit of this swamp, there were two wooden signs standing at every hundred paces.
The first wooden sign reads: "Wu Yue welcomes you." ”
The wooden sign on the back reads: "There is no ambush inside, don't rush." ”
It's all Chu script.
"Hmm!"
Xiang Liang's body shook, his qi and blood went retrograde, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out.
After a long time, he fought wits and courage with the air, resulting in nearly half of his subordinates killed and injured?
"These wooden signs have been erected here for at least a month, and then Wu Yue began to guard against us passing through this swamp?"
"General, this is a woman's handwriting, and if you can write my Chu character so standardly, there are not many women in Shouyang City who can do it!"
There are also resourceful people among the guards, all of whom are arranged by Fan Zeng, and at this time, looking at the wooden sign to find clues, his face is becoming more and more solemn.
Soldiers, treacherous ways, fiction is real, reality is virtual.
The enemy this time is actually a soldier who is proficient in the way of soldiers, uses their psychology, and surrenders without a fight.
"Can we really kill Flame Spirit Ji?"
At this moment, Xiang Liang also realized that Xiang Yan was wrong.
After the restoration of the country, Wu Yue is obviously no longer the Wu Yue he used to be.
"Swear to kill the demon girl!"
But there is no turning back from the bow, and it is undoubtedly impossible to return to the state of Chu now, Xiang Liang took a deep breath, held the belief that he would die, and continued on the road.
The territory occupied by the various ethnic groups of Baiyue is comparable to half of Dachu, and it is larger than Wei Hanqi, but it is vast and sparsely populated.
The harsh environment made it impossible for the aborigines to leave the village for a long time, and after the death and injury of Lei Baowei, the movement was smaller, and there was no danger along the way, and a few days later, Gusu City was in sight.
As the capital of Wu, it was also a magnificent city in the past, but Wu was destroyed by Yue, Gusu was destroyed in the war, and later Yue was also destroyed by Chu, and the remnants of the enemy attacked by two generations began to rebuild the capital.
Rather than a city, Gusu at this time was more like a huge village, even the city walls were incomplete, and many places were surrounded by fences, and they had long ceased to be glorious.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, Xiang Liang ordered the Lei Leopard Guard to stay behind, and with a few guards, he easily entered the city.
Xiang Liang hid in the alleyway, and those guards who were proficient in Wu Yue dispersed, and soon returned to report: "Major General, we have found out where Flame Lingji is." ”
"Oh?"
Xiang Liang Yixi: "Is it so smooth?"
The guard stopped talking, but finally said, "It's actually very simple. ”
It's really simple, when Xiang Liang and his entourage came to the side of the street, they saw that there was a long queue coming amid the cheers of the people.
First of all, dozens of maids in pleated skirts, no matter their heads, necks, waists and feet are hung with ornaments, jingling when they walk, enthusiastic and generous;
Followed by hundreds of strong guards, even if they no longer have the majesty of three thousand Yue armor to swallow Wu, they are also imposing and cannot be humiliated;
Flame Lingji, on the other hand, sat on a large and simple throne, carried by a tall man on his shoulders, overlooking his people.
Peerless Ghost!
The beams are now dignified.
The aura emanating from this giant man's body was more terrifying than Xiang Yan, and he was the most difficult guard to deal with by Flame Spirit Ji's side.
"King, King, King!"
And when the team approached, the people of Wuyue spontaneously knelt down and made the sound of a tsunami in the mountains.
"Is this woman's prestige already so high? Queen Baiyue, don't you want to succeed......
Xiang Liang was even more vigilant in his heart, looking up.
is not as secretive as the Central Plains, Flame Lingji faces the people, and the face of the country and the city is imprinted in the eyes, which makes people feel dizzy.
Xiang Liang's heart has long been trained by the battlefield to be as hard as iron, but the focus is on the clothes she wears, and she feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Wait, isn't this my Great Chu's God of Fire?"
He pondered for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck.
Although some minor changes have been made, the costume worn by Flame Spirit Ji is very similar to the most important fire god among the six gods of Great Chu.
Is it a coincidence that there may be a festival in Shouyang? Or is there some kind of connection?
In shock, a powerful arm suddenly reached out from behind him, wrapped around his neck, and dragged Xiang Liang into the alley at once.
