Chapter 353: Overwhelmed
After the successive accidents, no matter how angry Lan Haotian was, it would be useless, so he could only invite Tang Zhen and Zhu Weimin to discuss. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info haven't seen anything else so far, but they don't think it's all a coincidence.
Lan Haotian hated it even more, and scolded Xia Fan angrily in the car, he couldn't come by himself, and he used this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with him.
However, Lan Haotian is also extremely confident, and if he wants to deal with him Lan Haotian with this, he is simply dreaming.
Although he scolded Xia Fan angrily most of the time, he finally discussed countermeasures, entered an emergency wartime state, and continued to march, while notifying some local officials along the way to protect, probe the road situation, remove some obstacles, and probe whether there was danger. Even if it doesn't do much, it can warn those who are moving.
Faced with the strange situations that appeared one after another, Lan Haotian also wanted to find out who was making trouble. It's just that when he heard Lan Haotian say this, Zhu Weimin didn't say anything, if there was no Ouyang Qing's matter, he might not care, after all, he also received some benefits from Lan Haotian, and it was nothing to let people check by the way.
But now he just wanted to escort Lan Haotian back to China as soon as possible and complete the task to go back, he felt that Ouyang Qing's death seemed to be a warning.
Lan Haotian was a little helpless, so he could only ask Tang Zhen to stop the masters around him from investigating to see if he could catch someone.
Just as they were discussing countermeasures and continuing all the way, they happened to pass by a small basin, where a road passed, surrounded by crops, and at this moment it should have just been harvested, a lot of branches and leaves were piled up, and a few people who looked like old farmers were burning the land.
All this was originally a normal peasant scene, but not long after the smoke from the burning ground burned, someone in Lan Haotian's team immediately exclaimed.
"Poisonous!"
This is a master under Lan Haotian, after all, this time Lan Haotian gathered many people, some of whom are good at using poison, and found that there is something wrong with this smoke.
It's a pity that they found out a little late, and the terrain here is special, and when they want to rush out and want to blast the smoke into the air, the wind suddenly rises in the air, and it is difficult for them to disperse the smoke. At this moment, Tang Zhen and Zhu Weimin, who were discussing countermeasures in Lan Haotian's car, all rushed out, plus Lan Haotian, and even under Lan Haotian's successive promises, the worship elder of the worship house also took action in person.
The Avatar Existence made a strong move, directly blasting a gap in a small hill next to it, and forcibly blasting out all the smoke.
Even if they reacted quickly enough to disperse all the smoke, thousands of people were poisoned and fell. The most hateful thing is that these poisons are not completely deadly, but they will make people lose their strength and be difficult to recover in a short time, while the detoxification pills are good, but how can there be so many antidote pills for so many soldiers at one time.
After some simple treatment, in the end, there were 300 people who could not move at all for three days, so they had no choice but to let people take them and leave them in the county seat they passed through next.
This time, even a fool knows that there is a problem, but this is not over, and when it reaches a sparsely populated place, the road is washed away by a river that has been suddenly diverted, but fortunately this time the precautions are early, and only a few people are swept away by the water.
But when they made a detour through the mountains and forests to get there, they found that there were traps everywhere.
Normally, although Xia Fan's reward was rich, few people were willing to meet the army directly, but Xia Fan had already explained to Zhao Weiwei that what he wanted was not to kill the other party, but to make fewer and fewer people follow Lan Haotian's side.
He doesn't care what method the other party uses, whether it is to cripple those soldiers, catch them, or directly persuade them immediately, as long as there are means and methods, then just come, and even if there is a way not to show up, directly let those soldiers lose their combat effectiveness, then the benefits are just as much.
In this case, there are many people who will be tempted, and there is no need to fight head-on, there are so many benefits, especially like the one who used poison before, he can continue to use all kinds of poison secretly, and some can use traps, and then at night, some people who are good at confusing and using illusions are like fish in water.
When some people caught some soldiers and sent them to Dudu and Zhao Weiwei to receive their rewards, the news had completely spread, so more and more people began to try to find ways to catch these soldiers.
Even if they don't catch, as long as they lose their combat effectiveness and leave the brigade, there will be a reward.
So in the next few days, Lan Haotian and they almost lived in dire straits, because this was not a battle, and even later, in order to relax and rest, they entered a county town to rest.
Some soldiers went out to buy some things, but they were directly caught and ran away on the way. In this process, Lan Haotian and the others naturally shot a few times, and even Lan Haotian killed a few people.
But this does not help at all, and it does not scare those who already see them as mountains of gold.
The point is that these people are all kinds of people, especially some with special skills, like a woman who is good at charming, every time she sits on a bird, secretly approaches in the sky, and softly communicates with some soldiers, and those soldiers will automatically leave the team.
As soon as they tried to chase and intercept her, the woman immediately fled.
There are also all kinds of problems with what they eat and drink along the way, and there are even those who know how to control things, and they throw people away one by one as if they were tied up and relayed, and it is useless to destroy those trees.
There is also a loud one, every time he is far away and roars angrily, he uses the sound wave to transmit shock waves, and he can always shock and injure a few soldiers in the first few times, although he later guarded against his attack, but this guy also roared far away and ran away, which also became a scene.
There are countless such strange things, and Lan Haotian and Tang Zhen are exhausted and overwhelmed.
Not to mention Lan Haotian for this kind of thing, even Tang Zhen, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has never seen or heard of it. But what's even more terrifying is that when the news is gradually known, those soldiers of the Blue Jade Kingdom are fine, and some people in the Praetorian Guard simply pretend to faint and feel uncomfortable, and then go to receive the bonus.
After all, these days they are also tortured to death, so they can simply quit as if they were not in good health, and they can still get benefits, and then they can secretly return to Hanjing City.
The number of the Praetorian Guards is drastically decreasing, but this is nothing, when a list is circulated in the shadows, it is all the details of the Praetorian Guards who came out to escort the Janissaries, family background, and what relatives and friends are in the family.
This trick made those who were not greedy for money confused, and they didn't say anything, but the meaning was very clear. And the news circulating in the dark is also spreading, telling the Praetorian Guards that this is a personal grudge and has nothing to do with them, and it is normal for them to leave if they have any problems in the middle.
After all, it is normal to encounter so many situations that you can't support it.
In the following time, there was a slight problem, and the number of injured and unsupportable Praetorian Guards increased rapidly, and finally Zhu Weimin couldn't even cry and laugh.
When there were still thousands of miles away from the border of the Blue Jade Country, Tang Zhen and Zhu Weimin stepped forward to say goodbye with tired expressions.
"Prince Qiqi, although we inflicted heavy losses on a few people who secretly ambushed us a few days ago, our losses have been very large recently, and now the escort army is less than one thousand two. Tang Zhen couldn't lift his head when he said this number, he had never encountered such a thing in his life.
Let's say it's a battle, but there aren't so many life-and-death fights, let's say it's not a battle, but it's dangerous everywhere. In this case, they can't let go of the fight, a few days ago, some people came to find a reason to knock out a few people and said they confessed, if it was in the wild, it was okay, kill and secretly suppress it.
But the other party was doing these things outside a big city at that time, and they didn't run away after the beating, so they could only send them to the yamen in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty.
There are too many, too many of these aggrieved things, and Tang Zhen is going crazy when he tosses it.
"What about the Praetorian Guard?" Lan Haotian's face was even more embarrassed than when he was seriously injured by Xia Fan in the Ancient Domain Soul Realm, and the most important thing was that kind of torture, which made him almost crazy again and again. If he was framed by someone when he followed the prince in the palace, then he was really going crazy at this moment, and he didn't even look at people right at this moment.
As for the right and lost manpower, he is already a little numb, almost every time there is something, as little as a few, as many as hundreds of lost manpower.
"Ahem... The Praetorian Guard lost a lot of manpower, and there were only 200 men left. At the mention of this, Zhu Weimin suddenly felt his old face flush, and coughed helplessly and said in a deep voice. In fact, the losses of the Praetorian Guards were not great at first, because the people of the Han Dynasty were somewhat afraid of directly attacking the Praetorian Guards.
Although they knew if they would expose themselves, the guards of the Blue Jade Kingdom didn't care, they didn't kill anyone anyway, and these people couldn't do anything to them after that. Therefore, the Praetorian Guard still had nearly 800 men the day before yesterday, and most of the losses were lost in combat and withdrew from the escort team when they accidentally received a large-scale attack.
But from the day before yesterday to the present, there are only 200 people left in the sword-wielding Praetorian Guard for two days, for no other reason, but because of Xia Fan's words that were secretly circulating.
These people absolutely didn't dare to imagine how miserable they would be when Xia Fan, the little prince who was not even afraid of Zhenhai Hou and Song Bowei dared to kill them, really wanted to clean them up. The point is that this is only a guard mission, not a military mission, and Xia Fan left them a chance to create an opportunity for them to withdraw from the escort team, so there were only two hundred people left in the Praetorian Guard who was escorted in two days.
"Bang... Two hundred...... Two hundred people ......" Lan Haotian's hand was trembling, his hand had been completely buckled into a pillar of the car, the person was standing in front of the window, the whole person was obviously not in the right state, his eyes flashed blue, he really wanted Zhu Weimin and their group of guys to get out of the way immediately.
He wanted to soar into the sky at once, and fly over this last distance quickly, but he couldn't do it. Although there are not many Praetorian Guards left, there is still a lot to be done with them.
As for flying back directly, Lan Haotian really has the heart and the courage now, he feels that the other party just wants to force him to do this. But he didn't let the other party get his wish, insisted, as long as he insisted on reaching the Blue Jade Country, everything would be ......
"Woo... Woo woo ......" At this moment, there was a sudden sound of crying outside, followed by a noisy roar, the attack of the soldiers, and the army equipment that was originally preparing to deal with the enemy's attack along the way, was constantly bombarded in a panic at this moment.
It's just that after such a long time, the soldiers who are still there have been tortured to the point of being half dead, and under the reluctant attack, the effect is average.
The whining outside, the chaotic battle, the shouting and screaming Lan Haotian was in no mood to pay attention to it, because this opportunity was happening all the time, they were fierce, murderous, and thought of all kinds of ways, but those guys who were driven by interests didn't care so much.
Trying all kinds of ways to make Lan Haotian soldiers lose their combat effectiveness, it is not a interception, there are too many means available to them.
And Lan Haotian and they were tortured all the time, and by now, they were really almost numb.
"Puff ......" It's just that Lan Haotian was numb and ignored it, but at this time, those flying insects that were whining and screaming more than half a meter long and with a long stinging tail on their tails suddenly flew over Lan Haotian's side. (To be continued.) )
