Chapter 19: Preparations Before the War
The army of the Huns gathered outside the Saiwai, batch after batch of horses, on their horseback is the strong Huns, on those faces, you can also see a few immature faces, and some old backs, which shows that this year's snow disaster is how strong the blow to the Huns, such a teenager, have set foot on the battlefield today, this is to reduce the consumption of food, both to grab food, but also to consume manpower.
This is also the most helpless way, to send some old people and children to the battlefield, leaving hope for the rest of those who are alive, and can only hope that these people will not resent themselves.
The army of those Huns, at the front is a group of people wearing thin armor, the knives in their hands, there are some blood stains on them, especially those people's bodies, there is a thick layer of evil qi, these evil qi does not know how many people have been killed to accumulate, if ordinary people become evil, they may be seriously ill, even if some people in the rivers and lakes, they do not want to face this evil Huns.
The Xuanwu army in the distance also received the news for the first time, when the Xiongnu army was assembled, the secret agents of the Xuanwu army came with the news, this year's Saiwai, unusually cold, frozen to death a lot of cattle and sheep, Mr. Qin also estimated that those Xiongnu, relying on those grains is impossible to survive this difficult winter, their only way is to go south to invade the land of Qin to plunder grain, through this method to feed themselves.
This caused the scene in front of him, Mr. Qin sent a lot of secret agents, into the Xiongnu world in the north of the Saibei, through the arrangement of the past few days, basically mastered the direction of the Xiongnu's attack, although I don't know how the troops are, but in this situation, it may be the most fierce attack in 10 years.
At the moment when they assembled, the news was directly transmitted by carrier pigeons, and Mr. Qin also immediately made countermeasures.
"It seems that this time the Huns have gathered most of their forces to attack us, this time they can't drag on with us for too long, after all, there is not much food in their rear, as long as they don't break through at the first time, we can resist the Huns' attack, then the follow-up, those Huns will not be able to fight again, they can only retreat helplessly, and this consequence will starve a lot of Huns to death. β
Therefore, Mr. Qin deployed a large number of troops this time, and even transferred an army from the center of the empire to help them garrison the north.
As long as they can successfully fight a war of attrition, without seeking to kill, as long as they can defend the city gate to the death, then they are the victors in this battle.
And the consequence of this is that the Xiongnu may not be able to fight again in the next few years.
"Lao Qin, this time I'm afraid we will all be in danger, this time the Huns are stronger than before, and for them, it is now a moment of life and death, as long as they don't defeat us, then the only way waiting for them is death, in the face of the continuation of their race, we can only rise up and fight against them. β
Bai got up as the marshal of the Xuanwu army, of course, he knew the danger of this operation, and gathered most of the troops on the grassland, even if he relied on their Xuanwu army plus another legion, this battle was still full of great uncertainty, once they missed, then these fertile plains behind them, relying on those helpless ordinary people, will not be able to protect their homeland, become the lamb of the whole here, their food will be plundered away, after a winter has passed, I am afraid that his north will be directly covered with corpses, this situation is not conducive to the arrangement in the court, and even affects the position of the five princesγ
This must not be allowed to happen, for this decisive battle, Bai Qi can be said to have used most of his strength, whether it is military strength or political strength, and even encircled some murderers on the rivers and lakes, gave them rich rewards, and relied on them to guard the north together.
The two talked about some things on the battlefield, and wrote a manuscript, and copied two more, and sent them to the head of the Cold Ice Gate, and the marshal of another military department.
As long as they cooperate with themselves, this battle can only be successful, not defeated.
Victory only means that they defeated the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu vitality is greatly damaged, then they can not go further in a few years, if they fail, it means that the north behind them is completely attacked by the Xiongnu, the vitality of the Great Qin Empire is greatly damaged, plus the two countries in the south, will definitely not let go of the period of weakness of the Great Qin Empire.
There will definitely be a lot of change during this time.
......
Li Mu naturally didn't know that those big guys didn't have to discuss, he was not qualified now, even if he found out about this matter, they were still the bottom of the chess piece.
He is now in the Cold Ice Gate, because this matter was discovered by them, so there are some people who are monitoring them during this period of time, not suspecting their identity, this incident has happened, such surveillance is also a kind of protection, for what is happening in front of them, there may be assassinations and other situations, as for the people of the Cold Ice Gate, although they do not know that the sect master issued an order to protect them, but they can more or less guess that the Cold Ice Gate is going to have a huge change, otherwise ordinary guests are not worth them to do this at all.
Whether it is the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall or those core personnel, they have been busy with one thing in the past two days, that is, they have been constantly creating some obstacles, and even saying some hidden weapon poisons.
The war is about to break out, the only enemy in this north is those Huns, facing those Huns, those cold ice gate addresses are eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood, many of the people present are orphans, are killed by these Huns.
These orphans were adopted by the Cold Ice Gate, just to practice martial arts here, and one day they can take revenge and defend the country.
Since the current situation is present, everyone guessed that it might be an attack by the Huns, and in this large-scale atmosphere, each of them used a 12-point run, just hoping to kill a few more Huns in the next big battle.
"Li Mu, with these things, it is possible to save your life at that time, so you must put this thing away. β
Li Lianhua took out a small bottle, the mouth of the bottle was bubbling cold, it was the place where the ice silkworm was hiding.
Li Mu looked at that small bottle, it can be described as a means to press the bottom of the box, even if he is a first-class martial artist, once he is infected by the cold poison into his body, he will turn into an ice sculpture in a moment.
"I won't take this thing, the key is that I can save your life, which means that my strength is stronger than yours, and I don't need this thing. β
Li Mu shook his head, and held Li Lianhua's hand with his own hand, he would never ask for an ice silkworm, at a critical time, this thing can save people's lives, if he takes this thing, in case Li Lianhua encounters something dangerous, then Li Mu will not forgive himself in this life.
"Relying on my strength, I don't need this thing. β
"You are really a fool, I have so much poison on my body, can I still lack this one, tell you to take it, how can there be so much nonsense, besides, the master's life is precious, if there is no better means, will I give you this, when the time comes, I am afraid that you will die, and there is no one to lead the horse for me." β
Li Lianhua shook off his hand, but did not take back the ice silkworm, it was still in his hand.
In fact, Li Lianhua herself knows that this ice silkworm is the most important thing in her hands, and this week's poison is not as good as this ice silkworm, and the poison on her body has not been able to kill a first-class master immediately, if it is really facing such a danger, it can really be said that it is fate.
"Well, I said I wouldn't take it, just give me some useful poison. β
Li Mu naturally knew that Li Lianhua had a lot of strange poisons on her body, some poisons, even he didn't dare to try them himself, but he would never accept this ice silkworm.
"You!"
Looking at Li Mu in front of him, his resolute eyes could not be shaken, Li Lianhua Li Lianhua could only grit his teeth and scold him, he really didn't know the hearts of good people.
took out some strange medicinal powders from under her bed, those medicinal powders were wrapped in specific things, and carefully put those things into Li Mu's hands, the things in them were all highly poisonous, even if she touched them, there was no antidote.
"You must be careful when using this thing, if you accidentally bump into it, you must wash it with water as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed, and the use of this poison must be taken by surprise, after all, those masters are extremely sensitive, if you are calculated, when the time comes, don't say my name to the king of Hades." β
Li Lianhua said with a cautious face, in fact, these things were not thought of at all, because this thing is so vicious, as long as it is sprayed by that powder, the skin will begin to fester, and even if it is an immortal, it will be difficult to save you at that time.
And the configuration of this thing is not easy for 10 points, but because of the powder, if a first-class master has been observing in the fight, then these poisons will not succeed at all, and it may even be injured by the internal force of the human family.
"I'll take it. β
Li Mu took that thing over, this thing can indeed save his life at a critical time, after all, in the next big war, I am afraid that there will be a lot of Huns, including some masters, even those people in the face of Li Mu may be extremely careful, although the use of poison is a means of indiscriminate, but it can indeed save lives at a critical time.
"By the way, we also need to buy some hidden weapons or something during this time, after all, these things can save our lives when it is critical. β
Li Lianhua thought of those Huns, they must not enter in the way of an army, after all, the Cold Ice Gate is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but after all, this is a sect, and there are not so many manpower to guard such a large place, so it can only be reduced as much as possible, protect some of the most important places, and arrange them on some trails, it is impossible to fight with them.
In the face of this kind of thing in front of them, they can only preserve the most important territory, and those Huns will definitely think like this, I am afraid that they will enter in the form of squads when the time comes, and wait until those squads slowly converge, and then they will form an army and take the cold ice gate in one fell swoop.
And what they have to do is to rob and kill those people in the squad halfway, and try to make them suffer heavy losses, otherwise when they attack later, I am afraid that they will suffer a tragic attack, and it is difficult to say whether they can hold it, but many people will definitely die.
This time it is definitely the most elite force in the Huns, facing those warriors in the Cold Ice Gate, they can only use elite soldiers against elite soldiers, and after those ordinary soldiers come in, they may be besieged extremely tragically, and it is no longer a battlefield for those ordinary soldiers.
The two of them came to the armory on the mountain behind them, and found that the people inside were desperately practicing their weapons, and some hidden weapons were constantly being produced, most of them were some darts, and some bows and crossbows.
There were two huge stone balls on the top, and many disciples of the Cold Ice Sect took buckets and buckets of molten iron to pour on them.
The two huge stone balls were sealed with some iron nails at the end, and some warriors kept rolling the two iron balls together towards the front.
This is what to deal with those Huns, put them on the valley, as long as you meet those Huns, relying on these two huge stone balls, you can give them a fatal blow.
During this period of time, they had to make full use of the terrain, build as many weapons as possible, and reduce the number of Huns.
A few people looked at Li Mu and them, just because Zhang Yingying led them to visit many places during this period of time, and the two of them were distinguished guests, an apprentice put down the work in his hand, walked to the two of them, and asked.
"Are you two here to create any weapons, because of the attack of the enemy during this period of time, our furnaces here are basically all open, if the two of you hit the weapon, you can quickly create it. β
These blacksmith furnaces have basically been opened at this moment, plus so many disciples are here to help, and in this situation, the weapons they are building are basically coming in batches.
"We're just here to buy some hidden weapons, and then we're going to snipe at the enemy. β
Li Mu said this, and those who heard it were also overjoyed, after all, they can be said to be defending their homeland, and some of them are avenging their parents and brothers, but these two people have little to do with their sect, and in this situation, they can directly pack up their things and leave, this land of right and wrong, so as not to be affected by the pond fish next.
"We've just built those hidden weapons here, so we're going to take these things, and you didn't see what kind of hidden weapons were used. β
I saw that the hidden weapons in front of me had been piled up, whether it was cross darts, small and light hands, crossbows, they were all scattered on the ground, and only two people were there to sort out things, Even if the operation of the two was not slow, but in the face of the mountains of hidden weapons, the progress was still very slow.
Li Mu and the others walked into the pile of hidden weapons, selected some darts from them, and each took a small delicate hand, a crossbow, and each took 20 arrows.
In that snowy field, at least more than 20 people can be killed.
"Be careful, I'm going to put some poison on those hidden weapons to increase their lethality, and you won't go anywhere to help this afternoon, come to my room and coat all these weapons with poison. β
Li Lianhua took these hidden weapons, looked at the sharpness on them, and was quite satisfied, put all those things into a large basin, poured a layer of water on them, and poured some green things into it.
Through such immersion, those poisons will slowly attach to these weapons, of course, the user also needs to take some antidotes in advance, otherwise they will accidentally scratch when using hidden weapons, and at that time it is really not far from death.
"You're as sinister as ever, but I like it. β
Li Mu can only say sympathy for the suffering of those Huns, after all, they are invaders, even if there is any last resort, Li Mu will still not show mercy to his subordinates, the big deal is that after they are poisoned, solve them as quickly as possible, so as not to torture them with this poison.
The two of them repeatedly refined these poisons, so that the toxicity of these poisons slowly increased, and even on those arrows, cold ice poison was used, especially in this kind of ice and snow situation, this poison was more powerful with the help of the surrounding environment, and once the cold poison entered the body, it was not far from death.
"Every time I dispense poison, I feel that the cold in my ribs is unusually biting, and I don't know how you bear the cold when you carry it every day. β
Looking at his red hands, even if he diluted the blood in the water, since it was abnormally cold, even if he relied on internal force, there was no way to resist it.
"Get used to it, after all, we got along with this thing 10 years ago, when I fed him my own blood, raised it since I was a child, and this little thing is used to my smell, and that cold is actually not unbearable for me. β
In fact, in her body, there is a drop of ice silkworm hard work, through the continuous smelting in the past few years, she also has a certain resistance to the cold of this ice silkworm.
"I don't know how you got here when you were a kid. β
Li Mu listened to Li Lianhua's words, but felt that his childhood was an unfortunate thing, he thought that under the persecution of his master, he practiced there every day, carried stones to polish his body, compared with those children in the village, he was indeed more miserable, but compared with Li Lianhua, that misery was nothing.
