Chapter 160: The Poultry War

As soon as he cleared the obstacles on the road, the soldiers, who were stained with white powder, began to die of poison.

The name of the Seven Steps Broken Intestine Scatter was not called in vain, and when the poison attacked, patches of soldiers fell to the ground and died.

What is the most precious thing in the era of war? Yes, it is military power. Then again, what's the use of having military power when all the soldiers are dead?

Therefore, the real heroes attach great importance to the strength of the army, this time the crusade against so many soldiers in Hongni Village was poisoned and died, which made Liu Huang confused, if this matter was known by the emperor, he would not be able to escape the responsibility.

Liu Huang saw the soldiers fall to the ground one after another, and hurriedly shouted: "Military doctor, call the military doctor quickly." What about the medics?"

At this time, someone reported back: "Just now Lord Sima ordered the military doctor to study the method of detoxification, and the military doctor went to the depths of the forest to collect medicine after receiving the order." ”

Liu Huang is naturally not a fool, just now Liu Huang ordered the military doctor to study the method of detoxification, if he can't study it, he will come to see him. At present, military doctors have not figured out how to know what medicine to collect, and this is clearly absconding in fear of crime.

Liu Huang immediately ordered: "Send two fast legs and feet to arrest the military doctor for me, go quickly." ”

Half an hour later, all the poisoned soldiers died. Not only did the military doctor abscond in fear of crime, but the two people sent to arrest the military doctor have not been heard from yet, and eighty percent have also escaped.

The number of soldiers who died in poisoning this time was counted, and the death toll was 50,000. Before he reached his destination, he was poisoned by 50,000 people after the sneak attack of Hongni Village.

Liu Huang sat on the ground weakly, and he didn't care if the ground full of dirt was clean. Liu Huang began to be afraid, afraid that he would be convicted if he returned to the imperial court.

Liu Huang has no turning back at all, so he can only continue to advance. If the troops and horses are transferred back now, the crime will only be heavier, and this time the counterinsurgency in Hongni Village can only be won cleanly, and maybe the crime can be reduced.

Liu Huang ordered the soldiers to bury the dead on the spot, and such mass deaths should have been cremated to prevent the plague.

However, all of these people died of poisoning, and Liu Huang was afraid that the poisonous smoke would be produced after cremation, which would cause unnecessary casualties.

Besides, even if there is a plague, it will be a matter of the future, and it will be the nearby people who will die, as long as it is not the soldiers under his command who die, everything does not matter.

After the incident just now, the morale of the soldiers was extremely low, and this state was definitely not able to fight, so Liu Huang had to make a morale-boosting speech: "Brothers, rest assured, our crusade against the rebellion in Hongni Village will definitely be victorious." From now on, we will continue to send spies to find out the situation, and we will definitely not fall into the enemy's ambush again. When we arrived at Hongni Village, the other side was a small village with only 1,000 people, and with the strength of our 50,000 elite soldiers, we could not capture it. ”

Liu Huang paused, looked around and continued: "After taking Hongni Village, all the men will be executed, and the women will be rewarded to everyone. In addition, one person in Hongni Village will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and three people will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. Brothers, are you still afraid of the red mud village in a small land?"

"Don't be afraid" The voice of 50,000 people shook the sky, Liu Huang finally had some comfort when he heard this voice, and the problem of low morale was temporarily solved, as long as there was a victory, morale would inevitably rise.

Liu Huang turned around and asked the magistrate of Linshan County: "What is the nearest village to here, what is the population, and how far is the distance?"

The magistrate of Donglin County hurriedly replied: "There is a Zaoshu Village more than ten miles to the northeast, and there are about 80 people in the whole village. ”

Liu Huang ordered: "The whole army marches to Zaoshu Village. ”

Liu Huang marched to Zaoshu Village with an army of 50,000, and the purpose was obvious, he wanted to use Zaoshu Village to raise the morale of the soldiers.

A small village of more than 80 people was besieged by an army of 50,000 men, and all men, old people, and young girls under the age of 10 were executed.

There were only twenty-four women over the age of ten in total, all of whom were ordered by Liu Huang to comfort the soldiers, and these soldiers, who had not seen a woman for several months, lined up one by one to solve their physical problems.

There is a limit to what people can bear, and the women of the twenty-four Zaoshu villages were soon overwhelmed and ravaged to death, but the physiological problems of the 50,000 people were not completely solved.

Liu Huang continued to ask the magistrate of Linshan County: "Where is the next village closest to here?"

Lin Shan Zhixian replied: "Tell your lordship, the next one is Hongni Village." ”

Liu Huang said to the 50,000 soldiers: "Did you hear that? The next one is Hongni Village, as you saw just now, these villagers are simply vulnerable." It's the same with Hongni Village, the brothers who haven't had enough fun went to Hongni Village to have a good time, they all dressed me, and we sent troops to Hongni Village. ”

......

In the ancestral hall of Hongni Village, when the spies reported Liu Huang's dispatch to Zaoshu Village, the whole village gritted their teeth and scolded the officers and soldiers of the Dongyang Dynasty for being a group of well-dressed beasts and beasts.

Mu Sheng said: "Everyone be quiet, I know that you are uncomfortable, so we will beat them even more fiercely in a while, and strive to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor." Village Chief, Wang Li, how are the things I asked you to prepare?"

The village chief replied, "It has been done according to your request, and I will only wait for you to leave in a moment." ”

Wang Dong also replied: "Rest assured, I have done it completely, and I will definitely surprise those eight lambs when the time comes." ”

Mu Sheng nodded: "The meeting is over, let's go back and prepare." ”

Liu Huang came to Hongni Village with an army of 50,000 mighty, and ten miles away from Hongni Village, Mu Sheng led more than 100 guards of Hongni Village to meet Liu Huang's army of 50,000.

Mu Sheng took a step forward against a large wooden box and said, "Ahead is Lord Sima Liu of the Ministry of War?"

Although Liu Huang has not met Mu Sheng, his portrait has been seen for a long time. Naturally, he knew that the other party was Mu Sheng, the leader of Hongni Village, so he said to the adjutant beside him: "Prepare for battle"

Mu Sheng hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, you see that more than 100 of us have come to comfort you with all the poultry in Hongni Village, please see, we are here sincerely." ”

Liu Huang took a closer look, and all the visitors from Hongni Village carried a big iron pot and two water bags, and there were cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock and poultry that were driven here, and the livestock and poultry also carried wine jars or wine bags.

Mu Sheng continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have worked hard all the way, why don't you take a rest first?

Liu Huang thought for a while, thinking that this Mu Sheng was also poor in skills, so he made a plan, but if you poison my 50,000 soldiers, even if you surrender now, you will definitely die.

As for the livestock, poultry and wine sent by Mu Sheng, they naturally received it, but they had to kill Mu Sheng and the others before receiving it.

So he turned his head and whispered to the adjutant: "In a while, you will take a pair of people to arrest them for me, remember to catch them alive, it is not good to torture them, it is difficult to solve the hatred in my heart." ”
