Chapter Seventy-Six: Countermeasures
This incense burner is contained, it is a very rare sandalwood, this is the fine sandalwood ground into powder, and then mixed with motherwort, manzhu sawa, tea millet and other auxiliary drugs, sealed in the jar, sealed with wax, sunk into the underground Yin River for brewing, three years of small success, seven years for the middle grade, thirteen years for the top grade, thirty-one years for the superb.
However, the shelf life of the vast majority of sandalwood is only ten years, so there are still goods on the market for ordinary and medium-grade products, but the top grade and the best are the kind of things that can not be encountered, but in Esoteric Buddhism, there is a method of making this thing, and it turns out that to make the top grade and the best sandalwood, you must add the blood of the monks.
Because the main use of sandalwood is to appease the frightened soul, add the blood of the enlightened monks, and contain the meaning of Buddhism to feed the tiger with the body and the eagle with meat, so it can brew the high-grade and superb sandalwood.
At this time, the incense burner in this one hundred and eight places is lit with high-grade yin sandalwood.
Strange to say, after the sandalwood is lit, there seems to be a faint silver brilliance in the curling light, and its smoke is also condensed, slowly spreading and sliding in the air, that kind of posture is inexplicably reminiscent of the scene of oil droplets slowly spreading on the water surface.
For the living, the smell of sandalwood is so-so, and if you smell it carefully, it seems to have a little taste, but it is not deliberate that you can't notice it.
After the one hundred and eight scattered incense burners were lit, the entire Wu Zuocheng was quickly covered by the smell of sandalwood with a faint silver light, and those hungry ghosts who rushed into Wu Zuocheng were holding their necks high, greedily breathing this breath, and they were all in tears, as if they were intoxicated, at this time, they were all immersed in the happy memories of reuniting with their families, and they completely forgot about the things outside their bodies.
Seized the opportunity. At this time, it was already floating on the mirror surface of the Black Emperor Mirror more than 100 zhang high in mid-air, and it also began to fly down a little bit of rain, which quickly enveloped the whole city, and the most strange thing was that there were no physical ghosts who could be drenched by this rain.
At this time, you can see that on the mirror surface of the Black Emperor Mirror, after looking at it from any angle, you can see Wu Zuocheng, Wu Zuocheng in this mirror is extraordinarily thorough and clear, and every ghost in it is delicate. There is no place to hide, without exception, they are all facing the sky on their backs, greedily swallowing the falling rainwater, and their faces are full of intoxication.
Immediately afterwards, the Black Emperor Mirror slowly turned, and finally it actually headed towards the barrier defense line not far away, the large camp of the East China Sea Alliance, and it could be vaguely seen, and a simple and dilapidated road with a black glow began to slowly extend there. The dilapidated road, though covered with planks, was rotten and tattered, and looked like a boardwalk that had fallen into disrepair.
The rain suddenly stopped, and the faces of the ghosts reflected in the Black Emperor Mirror were filled with disappointment for a moment. Pain, and a huge sense of loss, then he looked at the end of the crooked black and broken road with a crimson gaze, and rushed over it frantically!
At this time in the hearts of these ghosts. Wu Zuocheng is a happy place full of memories, as delicate as glass, but also as fragile as glass. Under the misguidance of the Black Emperor Mirror, the camp of the East China Sea Alliance on the opposite side is full of countless enemies who are full of hatred here, and they want to crush this qiฤ, so these evil ghosts awakened by the forbidden secret art must rush over to protect this happy place!!
At the same time, there are also many high-status figures in the East China Sea Coalition Army gathered on the side of the barrier defense line.
Because the night walking of the hundred ghosts is a very famous rumor among the countries of the East China Sea, I heard that the ancient terrifying secret art has now reappeared, and it will still be on the enemy on the opposite side, so half of these people are invited, and half are uninvited.
Of course, such a person saw the terrifying power of the tengu eating the moon, and then witnessed the entire large array explode to the extreme in an instant, and they were all amazed, saying that they had never seen such a spectacle, and at this time, the priests were also striking while the iron was hot, and they were arrogant, and some people even said that if you were sincere and begged us to act as soon as possible, I believe that this city would have been peaceful a long time ago.
At this time, all the generals also donated generously, some converted, and some immediately bowed.
It's just that just when these priests were busy collecting money and leading the door, the counteroffensive led by Shui E had already been fully rolled out, and it swept over like a tidal wave!
At this moment, the entire barrier defense line was full of gloomy winds, ghosts chirping, and even many weak soldiers were picked up, picked up knives and slashed wildly, and the entire military camp suddenly became a big mess
Seeing the astonishing number of ghosts in Wu Zuocheng rushing madly towards the opposite barracks, even if they were dissolved in the bloody qi, Lin Fengjin suddenly realized that Shui E was really quite powerful in this regard, thousands of evil ghosts and ghosts were played with on the applause, and they were extremely skilled! This is quite clear, in addition to ability, without extremely rich experience, it is impossible to play.
The reason for this is very simple, to take a novice doctor in management to run an exhibition of 100,000 people, it must be impossible for a veteran with a high school degree who is halfway home to run it well, this is the importance of experience. But there are too many mysteries in the servants of Shi Nu and Shui E, and when it comes to this aspect, the two of them saw the gourd of Lin Fengjin, the master who was very disrespectful to the COS, and Lin Fengjin was helpless.
Soon, Wu Zuocheng was at peace again, and Lin Fengjin also specially set aside a large area as the place where the seven great lamas were stationed. This large area is divided from the most prosperous area in Wuzuo City, it can be said that every inch of land is gold, once the siege is lifted in the future, a grand Buddha hall will be built here.
Originally, the seven great lamas still had to excuse themselves and felt a little inappropriate, but Lin Fengjin gave the example of the Daxiangguo Temple in Xiangfan City, which is the most prosperous place in Xiangdu, famous all over the world, although this temple has been destroyed for a long time, but it is still called Daxiangguo Temple, and there are many people in the prosperous place, and there are many people, and natural believers will continue to come.
The evergreen living Buddha listened to Lin Fengjin's words and thought it was very true, so he accepted it with emotion.
At this time, although the Hundred Ghosts were successful in their night walk, the area of Wu Zuocheng overlapped with the Netherworld. There is a steady stream of powerful ghosts breeding, but after the powerful ghosts in this range breed, they will first be attracted by the breath of sandalwood enshrined in the Buddha hall, and gather in the past, and they will not have the intention to harm people and animals at all.
Then, in the middle of the night, Shui E casts an illusion spell, first confusing these ghosts, immersing them in the memories of the past, and then interrupting their memories. Induce them to attack the East China Sea Coalition Army, and this series of methods is extremely familiar, and Wu Zuocheng has no effect.
Wu Zuocheng's side even beat up, and the night walk of the hundred ghosts who had high hopes on the opposite side became a big joke, and the hundred ghosts did walk at night, but unfortunately they were in their own camp
Among them, the most disgraced ones are the priests, and they haven't thought of a way to fight back, but no matter how they fight back, they are all resolved by Shui E. In the end. These priests could only bow down with a sad face, knowing that they couldn't get this powerful ghost fellow, so they could only resign themselves to demolishing the altar in the camp and concentrating on dealing with the powerful ghosts who came back from killing and revolting.
There was such a big oolong. The East China Sea Alliance has basically reached a consensus, that is, don't provoke this group of perverts in Wu Zuocheng if you have nothing to do, and it's best to defend your own defense line and trap them inside, once you provoke them. Either it was a head-to-head bout, or it was like a hundred ghosts who were counterattacked so resolutely at night
However, there is a way on which blessings and misfortunes depend. The gods of the East China Sea can be said to have lost a big face in the night walk of the hundred ghosts, so they are always thinking about fighting back, and the gods of the East China Sea are also a little angry, but after all, they are known as eight million gods, and the abilities of these evil gods are also strange.
In the end, the god of plague and the god of luck finally found a flaw in Wu Zuocheng, they sacrificed three red flag books, and then used the eleven prisoners imprisoned in Wu Zuocheng, and finally succeeded in a conspiracy, and this conspiracy did bring heavy damage to Wu Zuocheng.
Horse plague began to spread in Wu Zuocheng, and this fierce horse plague was extremely contagious, and the onset was also very fast, and it swept the entire horse herd in Wu Zuocheng in an instant.
According to the sailors of the ships who patrolled the sea outside Wuzuo City day and night, when the plague was at its peak, there were even as many as 1,000 corpses of war horses abandoned from the small dock at the back gate of Wuzuo City every day!
After such a result was confirmed, it made the East China Sea Alliance Army celebrate, and even many generals were relieved, you know, what these grassland barbarians in Wu Zuocheng are best at is cavalry running, which is also the most feared by all people, and the cavalry tactics have even brought a very deep shadow to their hearts. At this time, no matter how good these grassland barbarians in Wu Zuocheng are in riding, no matter how superb their archery skills are, without horses, it is equivalent to a stupid bird without wings, and they can't play any tricks at all, and they can't play any calculations.
After the success of the plot this time, even the always cautious Crow Ghost Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and rarely invited his subordinates to a meal, and he was also drunk. In the face of Wu Zuocheng's front line, the pressure of the crow ghost strategy is also extremely great, it can be said that he has been defeated repeatedly, and at the same time, he has to deal with the internal struggle for power and constraints.
This time, after the incident of His Royal Highness Yongtori and the death of Gangbo in battle, it was also a real wake-up call for the East China Sea Alliance, so the requirements for the crow ghost ce were also extraordinarily tolerant, and the crow ghost ce felt that it was not good for the general to be unruly, so he was transferred away immediately, and it was to ensure that he had the power in the military camp alone, and there was only one voice of him.
In addition, taking advantage of the fact that the army was still there at this time, and also robbed so many Han slaves, it was the opportunity to rebuild the barrier defense line, the wall of the previous barrier defense line was two zhang high, this time it was four zhang, the last time Lin Fengjin took a blitzkrieg to catch them off guard, this time between Wu Zuocheng and the barrier defense line densely dug a deep pit the size of hundreds of thousands of bowls, not to mention that the war horses in Wu Zuocheng died seventy-seven eighty-eight, even in its heyday, it was impossible to run on such a grasslandใ
At the same time, Crow Ghost Ce felt that his troops were insufficient, so he directly replenished his troops to 60,000.
The last time I left, there was too little food left for the crow ghost cere, and the food I grabbed this time was too little to eat. Therefore, the food left for the crow ghost strategy can last for three years.
The crow ghost felt that there were too few weapons on the defensive line, so it would be a word! Demolish! Replenish all the ballistas on the ship.
Finally, the crow ghost had nothing to say, he stroked the newly repaired barrier defense, his expression was intoxicated, as if he was caressing the tits of a blackened courtesan in his hometown sake town, and assured loudly in front of the leaders:
"The next time the grassland barbarians come back, they will be allowed to teach their corpses to fill this wilderness! These grassland barbarians, just obediently wait for the moldy and stinky in this Wuzuo City. โ
The leaders carefully observed for a while, and felt that the crow ghost strategy was not bragging B. Speaking big words, I finally left with confidence and boldness. At this time, they also reached a consensus, the soldiers are fast, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity that the Central Plains countries have not yet come to their senses and then go deep into the coastal area to make a profit.
According to the analysis of His Royal Highness Tianlu, there are also spies from the East China Sea countries that have been planted in the Central Plains Imperial Court, and in the face of the first attack, the reaction of the four countries of the Central Plains (without Xirong) is very strange, they are all suspicious, and they feel that it should be the surrounding neighbors who are playing ghosts. Even the opponent didn't figure it out. Under such circumstances, all states and counties can only be strictly ordered to be on strict alert, and they will not be able to make any effective response in a short period of time.
However, this trick sacrificed by the East China Sea Coalition Army is a fighting method of coastal warfare. The four countries of the Central Plains are completely unfamiliar, as long as they are close to the coast, or even in the cities by the big rivers, they can be said to be covered and included in the attack targets. The states and counties were on high alert but there were no actual reinforcements, and the only consequence was to panic everywhere. It doesn't do any good in the big picture.
For the East China Sea Alliance, the last time I went there, I was inexperienced, I was not familiar with life, and more importantly, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, so I made a lot of mistakes in a series of processes, and if I went this time, I had to make up for it. We must get back the mistakes and regrets we made last time.
Although Wu Zuocheng is located in the north, but, after all, it is the end of April, the breath of spring quietly rushed into the city that has been besieged for two months, Lin Fengjin sat in front of his study is writing a pen, as soon as he looked up, he saw that the pear blossoms and peach blossoms in front of the window were already earthly, and the red and white colors were very spiritual, and the spores on the trees next to him were also full of tender green, which made people feel full of vitality at a glance.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and after Lin Fengjin heard it, he smiled and said:
"Why is it so early today?"
The person who came was to assist Lin Fengjin in dealing with internal affairs, and after listening to Lin Fengjin's words, he reluctantly smiled and said:
"Today's official business is relatively small, so it will be dealt with in three clicks and two clicks, and there are only two remaining documents that need to be approved by the son, so I sent them over. โ
Lin Fengjin smiled and nodded, took the two official letters, changed his face several times, and suddenly knelt on the ground, and couldn't help choking:
"Childe!Please!!!"
Lin Fengjin suddenly changed color, and hurriedly went to help him up:
"What are you doing here, what's the big deal?"
Tearing away:
"Ask Gongzi to leave this Jedi as soon as possible, although Wu Zuocheng is surrounded now, but there are many strange people around Gongzi, and there are holy beasts following, if you want to escape, it is also very certain, there is no need to accompany us to be buried here!"
"It's nothing if we die, the roots of the entire Sanli tribe have been transferred, and we still want Gongzi to take care of it, please understand the truth that you can stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood!"
Lin Fengjin's face changed several times, and he was about to speak, but he saw that Chi Bili and Wolf Tu also came over, and after kneeling, he said bitterly:
"If the city is not conspired by the enemy, and the war horses are especially alive, we can still rely on the impact of the cavalry, even if we don't have to die, we can protect half of the people and rush out, but now that the enemy has strengthened that damn defense line, I am afraid that we will have to kill and wound half of us when we rush in front of us, and it will be completely in vain!"
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"You can't even rush in front of that line, because these guys are rats, and they have holes in the grassland!"
He didn't pick up Lin Fengjin's words, and continued to repeat the previous topic:
"Since Childe knows how bad our situation is at the moment, then please really leave! โ
Lin Fengjin shook his head, stood up, and said easily:
"Are we about to break the city? What do you think, all of them are urging me to go?"
Divorce the helpless way:
"Childe, don't you know? At present, the grain in the city can only be eaten for another twenty days, and even if you add the livestock in the city, it will not last for a month. Once the food is exhausted, it will be the time when the city will be broken. โ
When he said this, he looked at Lin Fengjin's eyes and was also very resentful.
You must know that Wu Zuocheng can be said to have made full preparations and stockpiled a whole grain and grass that could be eaten by people and animals for three years -- not that he could not reserve more, but that under the current conditions, grain could only be stored for three years.
However, first of all, there was an accident, some of the grain and grass were damp, which Sanli has never had similar experience, but this is just a trivial matter, and it is good to give priority to eating damp grain. But then Lin Fengjin actually accepted a large number of prisoners, and the number of these prisoners even exceeded the total strength of Wu Zuocheng!
The amount of food that these captives ate was quite staggering.
In the end, the most outrageous thing is that Lin Fengjin would actually use the precious grain and grass to trade with the enemy, although he warned himself again and again that the other party was so treacherous, even if he did such an obvious loss, he must not be fooled, but before Lin Fengjin intensified the amazing amount of grain and grass again and again, the Crow Ghost Ce still couldn't withstand his own temptation again and again, and kept sending divine envoys to fight with Lin Fengjin alone.
This bottomless pit was the fundamental reason why Wu Zuocheng's three-year grain inventory was defeated in just two or three months, and only ten days remained, but it was worth mentioning that Lin Fengjin's accumulated merit value had also increased to one hundred and fifty squares.
And although there is strong opposition to the separation, Lin Fengjin's prestige is there, and it can't be stopped at all.
Looking at the three right-hand men in front of him, Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"I finally understand that you three bastards are not here to persuade me to leave, but to ask me for a showdown. Hey, I was going to tell you in the next few days, but, given your current attitude, I'm going to make you the last people to know what I'm going to do. Alright, let's get out. โ
Lin Fengjin said this, and at this time, the three people in Wu Zuocheng could only retreat obediently. As soon as they left, the smile on Lin Fengjin's face disappeared, he took out a stick of incense stick from the side and lit it, and walked to the garden in front of him and walked slowly.
After a while, Lin Fengjin heard a "bang" in the lotus pond next to him, and after waiting for a while, he turned around and said:
"Long time no see. โ
It was none other than the new snake god envoy Ao Li, the old guy Ao Ye was red and energetic, but he was a little impatient:
"What are you doing with me, kid?"
Lin Fengjin first wrinkled his nose and sniffed, and then said:
"It's a heavy smell of sulfur, you old guy looks like you've taken advantage of Lord Wa Snake God, you must have been to Burning Rock Mountain." โ
At the mention of Burning Stone Mountain, Ao Li's face became solemn:
"You are a human and you should have no feeling at all, that ghost place is like a nightmare place for our race, and I went to meet the deity of the Wa Snake God, and this journey is really a life of nine deaths. (To be continued......)
