When Sima Liu Huang of the Ministry of War heard what the magistrate of Linshan County said, he replied: "I have a vast army of 100,000 troops, and how many troops does he have in Hongni Village? Even if the whole village has soldiers, it is only a thousand people. Hmph, it's okay if Hongni Village doesn't come, as long as they dare to come, believe it or not, my 100,000 army can drown them with a mouthful of spit. ”

The magistrate of Linshan County hurriedly replied when he heard what Liu Huang said: "What Lord Sima said is extremely true, it is a trivial fuss made by the lower officials, our army has a large number of people, and I am afraid that there are few people in Hongni Village." ”

Sima Liu Huang of the Ministry of War heard what the magistrate of Linshan County said, nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, hurry up and lead the way, and after I level Hongni Village, I will return to the dynasty and resume my life, and your credit will be indispensable when the time comes." ”

The magistrate of Linshan County hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your support, Lord Liu has a good plan, and the next official will look forward to the adults." ”

Liu Huang is proficient in the way of officialdom, and naturally heard the implication that the magistrate of Linshan County intends to take refuge in himself as a backer. Being able to accept some magistrates as minions will naturally have a lot of benefits, and these magistrates will always give Liu Huang filial piety to the looted people's fat and ointment and the robbed beautiful women every year, and Liu Huang only needs to have the opportunity to say a few good words for them and seize the opportunity so that they can be promoted.

For Liu Huang, this is a business without capital and a matter of benefits, so he will naturally agree.

The 100,000-strong army lined up in a phalanx about ten meters wide and marched towards the wild forest in front, and the phalanx of 100,000 people was very long, ten meters wide, and exactly ten columns were lined up. Each of them is 10,000 people, and the distance between each person is about 0.5 meters, which means that the line of 100,000 people is no less than 5,000 meters.

One mile road is 500 meters, and five kilometers is exactly ten miles.

The 100,000-strong army advanced slowly until it reached the end of the wild forest, and found that the road ahead was blocked by trees and boulders. ”

As soon as Liu Huang's words fell, a lot of Kong Ming lanterns flew in the wild woods, these Kong Ming lanterns were obviously calculated, they were in the upwind direction of the 100,000 army, and they just took off and had a distance of more than ten meters just above the army.

The magistrate of Linshan County hurriedly asked Liu Huang: "My lord, what do these Kong Ming lanterns mean?"

Liu Huang looked up at the many Kong Ming lanterns in the sky and said, "In addition to being used to pray for blessings, Kong Ming lanterns can also be used to transmit signals. Maybe this is a signal that they are ready to launch an ambush, but it's strange why so many Kong Ming lanterns are released?"

Liu Huang said to the adjutant beside him: "Pass the order and prepare for battle."

As soon as Liu Huang's words fell, the arrows shot by the strong bow hit Kong Ming's lantern, and all the people in Hongni Village were martial arts masters, and the arrows they shot were not only powerful, but also extremely fast.

This time to ambush the 100,000 troops of the Dongyang Dynasty, Mu Sheng only brought members of the guards, a total of more than 100 people.

According to Mu Sheng's requirements, each person carried three Kong Ming lanterns, and more than three hundred Kong Ming lanterns had just been released, which was done by the guards of Hongni Village.

When all the Kong Ming lanterns flew above the army, Mu Sheng ordered the Kong Ming lanterns to be broken. On average, each person only needs to shoot down three Kong Ming lanterns, and for a martial arts master, shooting down three Kong Ming lanterns is too trivial, almost in the blink of an eye, Kong Ming lanterns are broken.

After Kong Ming's lantern was broken, Mu Sheng directly ordered to retreat at full speed and never fall in love with battle.

Countless pieces of white powder fell from the sky from the broken Kong Ming lantern, which was not a sweat medicine, but a poison obtained through the interrogation of the fangs—Seven Steps of Broken Intestines.

This powder fluttered and fell on the army, and many people were more or less stained with seven steps of broken intestines.

It is said that the time required from the poison to the death of the poisoned person is extremely short, and it only takes seven steps for ordinary people to walk seven steps, so it is called the seven-step broken intestine powder.

The soldiers of the Dongyang Dynasty were covered in Seven Steps of Broken Intestines, but it took a quarter of an hour for this poison to kick in.

What is the first reaction of a person with white powder?

Most people will pat it off with their hands, or shake it off after taking off their clothes. These soldiers were no exception, and a considerable number of them either patted or shaked, and then spread to more soldiers.

Originally, some of the soldiers who were in the back of the line for the first time were not touched by the powder of the seven-step broken intestines, but after the second transmission, many soldiers were stained with the powder of the seven-step broken intestines.

Remember the first reaction of a person when they were stained with white powder?

That's right, the soldier who was stained with white powder in the second transmission scolded and shook off the seven-step broken intestines on his clothes, and at the same time started the third transmission, and with the third there was a fourth ......

The magistrate of Linshan County said: "Lord Liu, what is the white powder falling on this Kong Ming lantern?"

Liu Huang pondered for a while and said, "Come on, pass on the military doctor"

Soon the military doctor came to Liu Huang with a medical kit: "I don't know what the adults are looking for?"

Liu Huang said: "Can the military doctor know what the white powder falling from the Kong Ming lantern is?"

The military doctor replied: "My subordinates don't know"

Liu Huang ordered: "Drug test"

In ancient times, the process of testing poison was very simple, find a container, add some white powder falling from the Kong Ming lantern in it, add some water, the military doctor used a silver needle to stir a few times, and pulled out the silver needle and found that the silver needle was black, indicating that it was poisonous.

Seeing the silver needle turn black, Liu Huang's face immediately became calm, although he did not count how many soldiers were stained with white powder, but as long as they were not blind, they could see it, and the number would definitely not be small.

This crusade against the rebellion in Hongni Village is just a small village of thousands of people, Liu Huang raised 100,000 troops, he thought that he would be captured, but he thought that so many people would be poisoned before he arrived in Hongni Village.

The crusade against a small village of only a thousand people has so many casualties, the current emperor has to doubt his ability, and it is unknown whether his black gauze hat can be kept at that time, and if he is involved by political enemies again, his situation will be even more dangerous, thinking of this, Liu Huang was frightened into a cold sweat.

Liu Huang, who came back to his senses, immediately ordered the adjutant and said, "You quickly pass the order, and the soldiers who are stained with white powder on their bodies are separated from the soldiers who are not stained at all." Go quickly, oh, and count the number of people contaminated with white powder, and remember not to make a noise about the poisonous nature of white powder, so as not to affect the morale of the army. Go ahead. ”

Liu Huang turned around and continued to say to the military doctor: "Gather all the military doctors to study the antidote, if the research can't come out, come and see it, go quickly." ”

The military doctor ran down with trembling hands in fright, ready to study the antidote.

Liu Huang ordered again: "Let the soldiers who are not sticking to the powder on their bodies remove the obstacles on the road." ”
