Zhang Tang suppressed tonight's turmoil, strengthened his troops to inspect the river embankment, and at the same time asked people to count the casualties.

In the end, the situation here was sent to Bai Zhong's side overnight.

The night gradually quieted down, but Zhang Tang didn't dare to relax, his nerves were still tense, and he went out to inspect the barracks overnight, and he must not let the river embankment have an accident and not delay the progress of the excavation.

The place of excavation, not very far from the embankment.

When it was almost dawn, the news was finally delivered to Bai Zhong.

"The enemy wants to destroy the embankment?"

Bai Zhong finished reading the news and said, "Send another thousand people to Zhang Tang." ”

"If the embankment is damaged, and the Hunan water pours into this unfinished canal, many people will be drowned," Ying said. ”

Bai Zhong agreed: "What the Yue people think, probably the same, if the destruction of the river embankment is not successful, they may come here, and the order is to strengthen the vigilance, last night the enemy also used wild boars to attack the river embankment, and beware of wild beasts." ”

The king had not yet seen the enemy's ability to resist beasts, and he was very curious.

As the military order was handed down, everyone in the camp got the news of the attack on the river embankment, and the whole army began to be on alert, and groups of scouts were sent out to ensure the safety of the vicinity.

The excavation of the aqueduct, which continues, does not stop because of a small episode.

"Wu Anjun, the people of Yuyue can already guess the use of our digging this spiritual canal, right?"

Shi Lu said worriedly.

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "It's normal for them to guess, but don't worry, Shaofu, they can't stop it." ”

The strength of the Qin army, especially the strength of the soldiers under Bai Zhong's command, Shi Lu of course believed in it, and continued to urge those conscripts to excavate, and tried every means to speed up the excavation and complete it as soon as possible.

"Giant!"

Yuan Hong came over and said: "I led the people of Shaofu to make two more excavation tools, and after trying it, the effect was good, allowing people to manufacture it in large quantities, and the speed of excavation can be increased a lot." ”

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Good job, you continue." ”

Tools are the first driving force, as long as the tools are easy to use, the progress of the project can be faster.

Another few days passed.

It was quiet on the other side of the embankment, and according to Zhang Tang's information, no Yue people dared to attack again.

The excavation of the aqueduct, which has been pushed forward some distance, is progressing quite smoothly.

Just when they thought there would be no more surprises.

"Wu Anjun, what do you see outside?"

Wang Li suddenly came over and pointed out of the camp in surprise.

Bai Zhong looked up and saw insects, poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions and other things on the ground, crawling towards their camp in groups, and faintly, there seemed to be a faint echo of the flute.

"Not good!"

Bai Zhong's face changed.

In later generations, he heard that in the southwest region, there will be people who control Gu worms and poisonous insects, and what witch Gu is, but he didn't expect that there were also in this era, and they still really existed, but this is not a Miao Village area.

Baiyue's people, how can they do this?

These are the attacks that Bai Zhong and the others have never thought of, they have prepared a lot of medicinal materials, avoiding all kinds of miasma and water and soil adaptation, so they have never thought of avoiding poisonous insects.

In the past few days, there has been no movement from the Yue people, probably to collect those poisonous insects and prepare to deal a fatal blow to the Qin army.

"All of you, come back to the barracks immediately, Yuan Hong will blow up our army. The medicine is dismantled and the fire will be fired. The medicine fell along the barracks, and if there was brimstone, it all fell as well, and the barracks were all encircled. ”

Bai Zhong gave the order eagerly.

Shi Lu saw those poisonous insects in the distance, crawling in this direction, he was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, and quickly called those conscripts back and stopped all work.

Geng Wu and Yuan Hong arranged for people to dismantle the fire. Medicine, first poured around the camp, and then poured some of the remaining sulfur into the fire. In the vicinity of the medicine, resist poisonous insects.

"The beloved, poisonous insects crawled in!"

Ying Shu exclaimed.

As a woman, she is more afraid of these things, and when she sees them, she feels very disgusting and has goosebumps all over her body.

There are still gaps nearby, which are not fired. The place where the medicine was fenced off, and those poisonous insects crawled in through the cracks at this time, and it turned out that the fire. Medicine and sulfur are effective against poisonous insects and poisonous snakes.

Bai Zhong hurriedly said: "Quickly kill these poisonous insects, don't be touched!" ”

Not only was Yingshu scared, but many soldiers felt their scalps tingle when they saw it.

But there was no way, they could only use long weapons such as Changge to shoot all the poisonous insects that crawled in to attack the soldiers.

"Yuanhong, hurry!"

Bai Zhong urged.

Yuan Hong commanded a few people to come over and plug the gap here.

Chirping......

The poisonous insects were very afraid of the smell of sulfur and had just touched the fire. medicine and other things, there was a strange scream, and he retreated in fear.

The surroundings of the camp were finally surrounded by gunpowder, as long as there was no wind, it was not a big problem, and fortunately there was no wind and no rain in the past few days, otherwise I didn't know how to deal with poisonous insects.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay for the time being.

There were still a few people from Yue Yue outside, who looked at the camp curiously, and they couldn't imagine that the Qin army still had something that scared the poisonous insects, so they hesitated for a while, and did not let the poisonous insects withdraw, but instead found a batch of poisonous insects to come back and continued to surround the camp.

As long as the smell of sulfur wears off, these poisonous insects will immediately break in and bite people.

"Wu Anjun, what should I do?"

Shi Lu had never seen anything like it.

Baiyue's people still have such means that make people's scalp tingle.

Bai Zhong said: "There will be a way, first consume it with the people outside." ”

Solution, he can't think of it for the time being, if there is something like fire oil, maybe he can pour it out and burn the poisonous insects outside, but now he is unprepared, he lacks anything, and he can't do anything.

"Prepare firewood and collect all the horse manure in the army."

Bai Zhong said again.

Ren Huan asked curiously: "What can horse manure be used for?" ”

"Put it away first, I hope you don't need it."

Bai Zhong didn't explain his attitude, and said, "Zhao Tuo, you've been here once, do you know how to deal with poisonous insects?" ”

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "The last time I went south with General Tu Sui, the enemy didn't need poisonous insects. ”

What he meant was that Bai Zhong's soldiers were too strong, and the Yue people could only use the extreme means of poisonous insects to fight against them, and if it was the ability to slaughter Sui before, the Yue people would not need these things at all.

Faced with this situation, they don't know how to respond.

Soon, the horse manure was collected.

"Have firewood ready and light it at any time!"

Bai Zhong looked outside, and saw that the few Yue people who controlled the poisonous insects had not moved.

Others don't quite understand why Wu Anjun did this, but he can only prepare all kinds of firewood according to his instructions.

Buzz Buzz......

At this moment, a buzzing sound came from outside the camp, the sound was very harsh and obvious, and everyone looked up and felt their scalps tingle......
