Chapter 1212: Attacking the village with fire
Not only did Sun Xiaowu feel that Shi Zhong had a strange person by his side, but even the fifth line and Sha Hailong also found that Shi Zhong's appearance was a little strange at this time, and the people around him were also demonic, not at all like people in the righteous path.
Previously, because Gonggong Shi was the supervisor of the court and had been responsible for training the new army, and the fifth line had been helping Ren Xiaoyao to find out the news, so he had less time to deal with Shi Zhong. Moreover, at that time, Shi Zhong didn't know that the fifth line had sneaked into the East Factory, but in hindsight, he felt that this person might be the fifth line of the sword shadow. Because at that time, the fifth line used the five elements of true qi, and fought with the five demons of Dongchang respectively. Shi Zhong also learned later that the only person in the world who understands the true qi of the five elements is the fifth element.
However, all this is not so important anymore, and the most important thing now is to deal with the Japanese invaders.
However, Shi Zhong's inexplicable appearance still made the fifth line and the others feel a little uneasy. However, Zhizhi was very calm in her heart, she felt that no matter how bold Shi Zhong was, he didn't dare to make any small moves in front of him. After all, although Shi Zhong is very powerful, and there are many people who support him in the court and in the rivers and lakes, in fact, he has not yet reached the point where power leans towards the government and the opposition.
After all, Dongchang was directly ordered by the emperor, although it was inevitably mixed with various personal grievances when it was executed in the middle, but on the whole, Shi Zhong was still loyal to the emperor.
Zhizhi has always thought so, so he doesn't quite agree with the speculation of the fifth line and others.
"Owner of the village, Beishan is on fire!" Suddenly, a disciple came in.
The fifth line, Shi Zhong and others had just arrived, and at this time, the north mountain of Wugong Village suddenly caught fire.
Although the north mountain of Wugong Village is not too much, it is extremely steep, and the trees shade the sky and the sun, it is not easy to walk during the day, and it is naturally more difficult to enter at night.
At this critical moment, a fire suddenly broke out in Beishan, and it was obvious that someone was making trouble on the mountain. Because of the fire in Beishan, the fire is condescending, and it will soon threaten the backyard of Wugong Village.
However, Wugong Village cannot send people directly to the back mountain to extinguish the fire, which is not only easy to get into the plan, but also the road in Beishan is not easy to walk, and it may not be possible to successfully control the strong mountain fire when you go to Beishan.
Wu Shitong had no choice but to withdraw the people who were close to the courtyard of Beishan. Because they knew that the enemy set fire to Beishan, most likely to lure them to put out the fire, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack. As long as they are not fooled, the other party will not be able to come down from the North Mountain.
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.
After the fire was not resolved, at this time, in the martial arts village, many people suddenly vomited inexplicably, and their faces turned blue, and they were unconscious, as if it was a sign of poisoning.
"How can this be, there must be a spy?" Fifth Walkway.
"Impossible! Except for you, all the others in our village are old people, and there can be no spies. "Wu Shi Tongdao.
The fifth line is also right to think about it, Wugong Village is just a small village that spontaneously resists the Japanese Invaders, if there are really spies, it is impossible to persist for many years, and it may have been bulldozed by the Japanese Invaders just like Meijiazhai. Wu Shitong has such confidence, so he is naturally a person who can trust himself, and he also believes in the fifth line and others.
"Where does the water, the water of this stockade, come from?" The fifth line reacted immediately.
"Some of the water from the village comes from the well water in the village, and some is the spring water from the North Mountain, which is introduced into the mountain spring lake in the village." Wu Shitong replied.
Originally, although there is a well in this village, but because there are hundreds of people in the village, the well water is often insufficient, so Wu Shitong introduced the mountain spring of Beishan into the village to form a mountain spring lake. Many people in the village drink water from the mountain spring lake in the village, not from the well.
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that there must be something wrong with the water in Shanquan Lake. Since the other party can set fire to Beishan, he can also poison the mountain spring water.
"Take me to the lake." Sun Xiaowu said.
Wu Shitong first took out some antidotes to help those who were poisoned to detoxify. It's just his antidote, which can't completely detoxify, but only control the toxicity. If he really wants to detoxify, he must know what kind of poison the other party is using before he can use it to prepare the corresponding antidote.
Wu Shi distributed Sun Xiaowu's solution to the poisoned person on the same side, and led everyone to the lake.
Fortunately, most of the people in the village still drink well water, and there are not many people who drink water in Shanquan Lake, so there are not many people who are poisoned.
Sun Xiaowu and the others came to the lake, and sure enough, they saw that although the lake water was still clear, there was a faint trace of blue light, as if it was no longer pure mountain spring water.
Sun Xiaowu took a closer smell and immediately felt a strange smell, although it was not very strong, it was very uncomfortable.
"What kind of poison?" Wu Shitong said with concern.
"It's like a broken bowel."
"There is a cure for poison."
"Absolutely. But the water in this pool cannot be used, and neither man nor animal can approach it. Sun Xiaowu replied.
At this time, there was a sudden and inexplicable fight in the village, and there was no movement in the east, west, and south gates, and no one came to report the news.
"What's going on?" Wu Shitong asked loudly.
"The enemy has come down from the North Mountain!" Immediately, a villager came up to say goodbye.
"How is that possible? We are not familiar with the road in Beishan, how can we do it? What's more, there is still a fire on the North Mountain, which is not feasible at all. Wu Shitong was even more puzzled.
"I know why the other party set the fire!" At this time, the fifth line seems to understand.
"How?" Wu Shitong asked.
"It's the Fire Escape Technique!" The fifth line answers.
The fifth line had fought against the Japanese Invaders several times, and he found that both Matsuno, the eldest disciple of the Fire Evil Sect, and Mu Tengzuo, who was in cahoots with the Japanese Invaders, were both proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique. Moreover, the Fire Evil Sect is not a real name, but just a name. Since this person uses fire as his name, he is obviously very good at fire attack.
They set fire to the north mountain at this time, it seems that it was only to burn the mountain and disturb the enemy, but only to use the fire to facilitate their fire escape into the village.
Sure enough, after the Japanese invaded the village, they set fire to the village again. It's just that Wugong Village has a characteristic, that is, the east, west, south and north four villages, which are actually relatively independent parts. In case of emergency, you can also rely on the terrain and defend separately.
"Inform everyone, give up Beizhai and move to the other three villages. There are definitely not many enemies who have escaped into the village. It's just that if we want to defend the other three villages, we can catch turtles in the urn and surround the enemy. Although Wu Shitong looked vulgar, he was in danger and calmly ordered.
Sure enough, Beizhai was quickly abandoned, and the passages of Beizhai to the other three villages all have city gate checkpoints.
Wu Shitong led the fifth line to the winner's village, looked at the enemy who was fighting at the north gate, and finally figured out the enemy's situation.
"It looks like there are no more than two hundred people." The fifth line answers.
"Humph! They are killing themselves. Wu Shitong sneered.
