Chapter 5: Exhausting the Lake to Fish and Remaining at a Deadlock
Why Shanladuo became Lu Yunqiao's subordinate is really intriguing, but the success of those few battles is not her truly proud achievement.26nbsp;
Not long after, a good news from the northern theater once again surprised everyone. After all kinds of beasts and poisonous insects, the biological warfare launched by Zalado entered a new milestone. This time the Taiping Army
What we encountered on the battlefield were not jackals, tigers, or leopards, but some strange giant trees and vines.
As soon as the two armies fought, the officers and soldiers retreated in a planned way and entered a forest behind the battlefield. This made the Taiping Army quite afraid. After all, the biological warfare a while ago had already caused them a lot of headaches. Now a forest appeared in front of them.
God knows how many mutant beasts are hidden inside? If you rush in recklessly, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
It is certainly a strategy to dispatch the cyclops and trample them directly, trampling all mutant creatures into pulp. However, in the previous battle, the weakness of the cyclops, which is bulky and energy-consuming, has been exposed. If the woods
What is hidden inside is not a mutant creature, but an invisible trap. If the Cyclops steps over it and falls into a deep mud pit, unable to move, then it will fall into the enemy's trap.
In a dilemma, someone finally came up with a seemingly smart idea, that is, a fire attack. Just set fire to it and burn the woods together with the traps and mutant creatures inside. The Taiping Army only needs to guard the exit outside the woods, and they will kill anyone who comes out.
What can we do to maintain an invincible position?
This strategy was quickly adopted and put into practice, and the reason why it seemed like a smart idea was because the Taiping Army did not expect that after setting fire to the forest, what came out was not a mutant beast, but a highly concentrated one.
Poisonous smoke that won’t open.
Black poisonous smoke filled the air for more than ten miles, like a roaring and raging poisonous dragon, shrouding the Taiping Army around the woods. In just a few minutes, many casualties appeared. The trees in the forest were burned by fire.
It was ignited and released a large amount of poisonous smoke. In addition, it also formed an incredible scene. The trees that were supposed to be motionless and insensible actually rushed out of the fire like galloping horses whose buttocks were burned.
came out and ran straight into the Taiping Army's ranks.
Trees have no vocal organs and cannot scream, but they use tree roots as their legs and move very fast, faster than a mad bull. Coupled with their amazing size and weight, as well as the burning fire on their bodies and the poisonous smoke they release, all of a sudden
It's really no joke to charge over. Officers and soldiers usually face
The fear of the one-eyed stone man when he charged into the formation was now fully realized by the Taiping Army. They screamed and wanted to escape, but in this case, it was not easy for anyone to escape, and no matter how powerful the weapon was, it would not be possible for anyone to escape except to attack their companions.
He shouted greetings from his body and cut down his companions to clear the way, but the rest could not help much.
The road to escape is definitely not easy to follow. It is not only blocked by giant trees, poisonous smoke, and fierce fire. When the surrounding high heat bakes the soil under your feet, it also spawns some fast-growing vines, wrapping around your feet and blocking the way. As long as you accidentally step on the vines, the vines will
It will emit needle-shaped seeds, which will produce a paralyzing effect after hitting the human body... This effect is meaningless, because most of the dead have long since perished under the poisonous smoke, and the real role of the vines is mainly to block roads and bind feet.
After this battle, Shanladuo's reputation became so great that he once again became a household name in Middle-earth. His popularity even surpassed that of Lu Yunqiao himself. Xu Jiangzi saw that many people were talking about it, as if only this woman
If she continues to maintain her prestige, the Taiping Army will be wiped out by her alone.
If this can really happen, it would be a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, Xu Jiangzi knows that there is no such thing as cheap things in the world. Various excellent technologies can gain a temporary advantage on the battlefield, and even rely on them to win the final victory, but it is also
It is impossible to win easily all the way. There is no absolute or perfect thing in the world. A weapon as powerful as the Cyclops still has flaws in its use. If Zalado's biological technology is so powerful, why not use it earlier?
Many inside stories on the battlefield are beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers, but as a high-level person, it is always easier for Xu Jiangzi to obtain confidential information. Soon he learned about the situation from Yin Jie and learned that the truth was not that simple.
Zanladuo's technology for transforming living things is indeed superb, but it does not come without a price. In a word, it means fishing from all the swamps. After those alien plants are born in the forest burned by the fire, they will be reborn in hundreds of years.
Nothing can grow. The land is completely polluted, corrupted, and highly toxic. It takes a lot of effort to deal with it to prevent the pollution area from expanding. If this tactic is used several times, there is no need to wait for the Taiping Army to attack.
The Dawu Dynasty will be destroyed.
As for poisonous insects and mutant beasts, the damage caused by these is much lighter and does not have such strong sequelae, but the manufacturing cost is very high, because Zaradu is currently unable to directly create mutant creatures, and can only inject the captured beasts and insects into
There is nothing wrong with the process of 'shooting' or feeding 'medicine' to cause it to mutate. Unfortunately, there is one main ingredient in the medicine used by Zaraduo that is unavoidable, and that is a large amount of gold.
Groups of mutant beasts were fearless on the battlefield and rushed towards the Taiping Army. The Taiping Army scurried away. In the eyes of the senior officials, no one was happy about this scene. As long as the number of enemy casualties and the
Once the military expenditures spent by one's own side were divided and the average cost per death of the enemy was found, the senior military officials all turned pale.
Biological warfare with huge costs and consequences, the bulky and energy-consuming Cyclops, these are all dangerous things that are extremely majestic in the eyes of the enemy, but frightening to their own people. After reading the entire report, Xu Jiangzi suddenly felt something
, the enemy and we seem to be fighting this battle to save face. If the Taiping Army continues to use the Cyclops, and our side engages in biological warfare a few more times, it will not be a competition to defeat the enemy first, but a competition to annihilate it first.
Destroy yourself.
"Looking at it this way, the war situation has reached a stalemate for a while. Unless something new changes, otherwise..."
Xu Jiangzi couldn't imagine what new changes there would be, and the new information from Yin Jie allowed him to continue to understand the situation in the north, including the fact that Shan Laduo was very dissatisfied with being inexplicably promoted to the position of "war hero".
She tried to poison one of Lu Yunqiao's staff for the first time, and she was dissatisfied, but she did not forget to enjoy the halo brought by the war hero, and seduced all the female assistants who cooperated with her to go to bed, achieving another achievement.
Achievements.
"... Excuse me, show me this kind of information, what is the meaning of this kind of information?"
Xu Jiangzi looked at the smiling smile of the silver robbery and felt that he couldn't say anything awkward, but the silver robber didn't say much, but simply said that "the Taoist brother should be interested in these information, and give it to you to see it."
Let Xu Jiangzi's heart seven or eight, shouldn't it be known to himself?
After the "reconciliation" of the silver robbery and Xuhezi, the two continued to be closely at the same time as before, as if to discuss what plan. This plan, the two of them should have been prepared for a long time, and because of this, even for the silver robberies, even for the silver robber
If the guardian is very deep, Budoko still has to cooperate with him.
Xujiangzi does not know what their plans are and do not want to listen, but in the faintness, I feel that the plans of the two of them seem to conceal themselves.
From the point of view, there seems to be no combat plan to hide itself.
This makes Xu Jiangzi puzzled. The younger brother ignored his dissuasion and got closer to the silver robbery, making himself worry. However, even so, the brothers' feelings will not have a suspicion.
What kind of tricks should be, there should be nothing.
"But ... the silver robbery is very savvy, and I must fight with him.
Xujiangzi sighed so much, but it didn't take long for him to find that he was really too naive. Many times, the affection between the two people would be changed by external environmental influence, especially ... Danghe Luo's headquarters' headquarters
Messenger, when he came to him quietly.
This secret envoy was not sent by Chichengzi, but several elders from the Heluo Sword School, with very high seniority. He had seen a few sides with Xu Jiangzi and pointed out a few martial arts. These elders believed that
Puhezi betrayed the Haluo martial arts to the court, and he was reckless, and Chichengzi ignored the matter and did not punish it.
Generation.
Xu Jiangzi almost listened to his dumbfounded eyes. He never thought about what he was competing with his brother, let alone replacing him. Although he had a very small word for his younger brother, he did not stand up to oppose him.
The elders really can't figure out the situation at all. How can I want to let myself come out to replace my younger brother?
Without thinking, Xu Jiangzi scolded the brother of the messenger with a very severe tone. If it was not because of the same door, he even had the impulse to destroy people.
In fact, as long as you think about it a little, Xujiangzi does not understand why those elders see themselves. The reason is that Xuhezi is his own brother.
The main reason why he shouldn't pick himself up, why should you pick yourself up? The main reason is ... no one else can pick it.
The most outstanding Hedo Nine -nine Zi of the virtual character has been killed in the war. There is only one Li Mubai, but Li Mubai's "sex 'is wild and unruly, and most of the martial arts depend on self -cultivation.
Come, never let the elders look at it. If you want to use him to replace the virtual river, I am afraid it will soon become a foolish line that moves stones.
Eliminating Li Mubai, the person who can use it is indeed only one of them. He has a good reputation on the southern front of the southern front, and the style of the first soldiers and soldiers is very supported by the brothers.
Leading the brothers to continue fighting, the elders will look at themselves, but they can be understood, but they really have no such heart!
Suddenly encountered such a thing, Xu Jiangzi felt very unpleasant. Although he did it, if he leaked the wind and passed to his brother’s ears, I am afraid it would cause unnecessary trouble.
one time.
Xujiangzi thought so, but did not know how to speak. It was so annoyed for a few days. He received a notice and went to the tactical conference. After entering the camp where Xu Hezi was located, he didn't expect. The silver robber was already there.
, Zhenghezi, a few staff members discussed the situation of the war, saw Xu Jiangzi come in, and the silver calamity had two classes. He reported to him a few of the latest war status.
After the stalemate of a small victory or defeat, the silver robbery spoke.
"The situation is very clear now. If the Taiping army still has so continuously received the support, it is impossible to speculate how many powerful things they have.
It is impossible to disconnect the post -aid of the Taiping militarium, otherwise it is impossible to flatten this 'chaos'. "
The remarks are correct, but because everyone is in their hearts, therefore, everyone around everyone only flows' numbness to "nonsense".
"Please take a little bit, the dead sheep make up, even though it is too late, but there is always a chance to change. I have an old consciousness often put this word on this word.
Open the first step, the back is getting better. "
Silver robbery: "I suggest that we should open the second battlefield early. In this regard, there are not many personnel, and a few elites are more useful than the army."
Xujiangzi frowned: "Your so -called second battlefield ..."
Silver robbery: "It is outside the territory, we send people directly outside the territory, after" Sao "disturb the enemy, as long as the rear aid is cut off, the Taiping military is not difficult to cook."
"... you neuropathy."
Xu Jiangzi only returned this sentence. 'Sao' disturbing the enemy, this is just a nice statement. The more practical description is to go deep into the enemy and die for life.
Speak through 10,000 miles, go outside the domain to disturb? Besides, the silver robbery is also said to be a minority elite. At most, there are only hundreds of people.
What is the practical significance?
I thought these words were absurd enough. I did not expect that the silver robbery nodded, and then threw a big bomb, so that Xu Jiangzi almost did not believe in his ears.
"Brother Xujiangzi, who sneaked into the enemy, is not the same as small, nor is it that ordinary people can be competent. After discussion, I think Taoist brother is the most appropriate candidate.
. ""
Silver robberies smiled and talked, as if talking about a reasonable, such trivial matter, but Xu Jiangzi heard the smoke, and he was born on the battlefield. Although he was afraid, he never retreated.
I am the first leader, but ... this kind of mission is to call myself to die. Unless my brain is broken, how can I swallow it actively?
of!
"Uh ... after you just said discussion?" Xu Jiangzi suddenly felt bad and said, "Who did you discuss with it?"
"It's me!"
The one who responded was the Xuhezi who had been sitting next to the silence. This is also what Xujiangzi was worried. If the silver robber was not a fool, it would definitely be rejected if it would not be rashly exported.
It is also quite confident, and the root of this grasp is Dahezi. No matter how much, Xuhezi led all the disciples in the south. If he agreed to this matter, he couldn't see the matter as a joke.
"This is not what I just thought about it. It was the idea of the idea when I discussed my strategy with my brother Yinjie, but I just had this idea, I was not sure ..."
He was so big that Dahezi didn't dare to look directly at his brother's eyes, but in the end, Xuhezi still raised his head and looked at Xujiangzi, indicating that he was serious.
"... I want to ask, why is there this decision? Why ... must I ..." I can't? "
Xujiangzi really wants to understand. It stands to reason that he is the current charge of the He Luo Army. Every time he fights, he is almost the first to rush into the enemy line, and it is after the end of the tail.
Morality must have an impact. Although it is not necessary to be missing here, ... it doesn't matter if it should not be missing, right?
The northern defeat, the pressure of the southern battlefield is strong, the enemy's strong counterattack will begin at any time, and the enemy's army will get another one -eyed stone person tomorrow. Stepping on everyone's head.
Outside the domain, perform a task that has no hope of success at all. Which person's personnel arrangement is this? Shouldn't it ... the elders have sent secret envoys to see their own affairs, and they have been known. My younger brother transferred himself away from the domain to avoid his brothers from avoiding the brothers from the brothers.
opposition?
Xujiangzi was embarrassed, but these questions did not get answers. The explanation of Xuhezi was that this tactic was very difficult. It must be executed by the top talents.
In addition, Xuhezi can't find the soldiers available.
The most outstanding younger generation of Heilo Jiuzi, headed by Li Mubai, fought in the north. This time, two were killed. As for the people in the south, martial arts, the commander's ability is not as good as Xujiangzi.
From this point of view, Xujiangzi is indeed not allowed, but ... he still feels difficult to release it. Behind these arrangements, he may have any other reasons.
In the end, Xujiangzi temporarily put on this proposal for the time being "still needed to consider". Xuhezi and Yinjie also knew that he could not immediately decide, so he nodded and agreed. Everyone broke away and went back to rest.
That night, Xu Jiangzi sat quietly in his hut and repeatedly thought about it. When the door of the hut was opened, he knew that the person he waited was here.
"You're here ..."
"Do you know that I will come early in the morning?"
"Ahe will have such an idea, although it is the instability of the silver robbery, but it should also get your support? Or ... is it your claim at all? Sister Sea!"
Xujiangzi looked up and saw Xu Haiyue walking into the hut. The moonlight of the silver and white 'color' shine on the face of Xuhaiyue, which was obviously so familiar face, but it looked like a stranger.
This time, Xu Haiyue seemed to be preparing to talk about something important. His steps and breathing were no longer concealed. Xu Jiangzi could tell at a glance that Xu Haiyue not only knew martial arts, but also had very high martial arts, even better than himself.
As for her reaction in the face of an enemy battle, I believe I can't compare to her.
Xu Jiangzi did not mention the battle of Cangyun to anyone, but he knew that during the battle, many important camps of the Taiping Army suddenly caught fire and exploded, or some Taiping Army generals who were in command died suddenly and inexplicably.
, gave Heluo disciples an opportunity to take advantage of, which was also one of the reasons for the great victory. At that time, Xu Jiangzi had already guessed that Xu Haiyue was secretly active.
I have fought in various places over the years and killed countless people on the battlefield. My combat experience is far from what it used to be. However, this sister specializes in assassination and always fights against the best in the world. Compared with combat experience, she will only focus on herself.
Above, at this distance now...if the sister and brother turn against each other and take action, I won't be able to take advantage. If the sister has some powerful magic weapon hidden in her hand, she will definitely have no chance of survival.
These calculations flashed through his mind, and Xu Jiangzi didn't know why he was thinking about this. But seeing Xu Haiyue slowly approaching, his whole body tensed up, and he had a natural reaction to respond to the enemy. He had to suppress these reactions to avoid them.
embarrassment between each other.
"It was indeed me who suggested it to Ah He. The time has come and it's time for you to go back."
"When will we arrive? Where will we go back? Sister, what are you talking about?"
"Do you still want to continue to cover up? Although you have cleverly disguised yourself back to your current appearance, I have been maintaining your appearance for more than 20 years. If there are any changes, it is impossible for me not to recognize it... That day
, I saw the change in your disguise, and I knew you already knew the secret, and then the expression on your face revealed everything. You have been a person who has been unable to hide your thoughts since you were a child."
Xu Haiyue said: "Who is the person who disguised yourself for you? Once the disguise is removed, it is not so easy to get it back. In fact, it is not that easy to remove. How did you do it?"
?I'm very interested. If my guess is correct...could it be the female thief from last time? Your tastes and preferences are really weird!"
No longer hiding her martial arts and talents, Xu Haiyue said a few words that made Xu Jiangzi's face turn pale. Unexpectedly, what she thought was perfect would actually be full of loopholes in the eyes of this sister. Even Shan Laduo was involved.
Everything in it has been seen through.
"Sure...Sure enough, sister, you know everything. Then...why did you hide it from me? You have changed my true self since I was a child. What is the purpose of doing this?"
"To survive, otherwise what do you think it would be for? A blond, blue-eyed kid wandering around in Middle-earth, do you think you can survive? If I hadn't put on makeup and disguise for you, would you be alive today?
"
"...Does master know my true life experience?"
"He was the one who brought you back, don't you know?"
Xu Haiyue's explanation of the past events was similar to the process that Xu Jiangzi had heard since he was a child, except that he changed from picking up an ordinary child to picking up a child from an alien race from outside the territory. Chichengzi didn't know who the parents of this child were, but
For his safety, his appearance was disguised, even hiding it from himself.
These words sounded very reasonable, but Xu Jiangzi didn’t believe a word of them. Although it was impossible for all of these things to be false, it was absolutely impossible to say that they were all true. But even if
In response to this question, Xu Haiyue would not tell the truth, so there was no need to ask.
"The leader once said that you come from an extinct tribe outside the territory. Although that tribe does not exist and its people are extinct, it still retains its legacy outside the territory. If you can get those legacies back outside the territory, it will be useful for resisting Taiping.
Military affairs are of great benefit, which is why you must do it."
Xu Haiyue said: "I heard that only people from that tribe can enter the places where the inheritance is stored, so except for you as an orphan, no one else can enter. The candidates sent to outside the territory this time, except you,
No other person can do it."
"...Is it just for today that you adopted me back then?"
Xu Jiangzi was very concerned about this question, but Xu Haiyue still did not answer directly, saying: "I got news that after the defeat in the northern battlefield, some people have already had similar thoughts and are preparing to enter the outside world. If someone gets there first..."
Xu Jiangzi didn't care much about this matter. Things like inheritances and treasures had nothing to do with him before today. Now that he was suddenly mentioned, it sounded very unreal and had no feeling.
"Ahe and I...no, forget it, it's nothing."
Xu Jiangzi really wanted to ask Xu Hezi, who was also adopted as an abandoned baby, whether his life experience was the same as his own. This was what he cared about most, but then he thought about it, so what if he asked? What if his younger brother was really an outsider?
, this answer comes out, will you be happy for him? It is already very difficult to carry the secret of just one person, let alone the secret of two people.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiangzi took back the question that came to her lips, but judging from Xu Haiyue's expression, she obviously understood the unspoken question, but...she did not answer it.
"Sister Hai, do the treasures and inheritances you talk about really exist? It's one thing to go outside the territory to take out the inheritance, but it's another thing to go outside the territory to find the needle in the haystack."
"The call from bloodline inheritance is the best treasure hunt map. The white tiger in your dream will guide you back to your homeland. At that time, the secrets that have been dormant for many years will be opened for you."
Xu Haiyue said it with absolute certainty, so categorically that it even made Xu Jiangzi feel suspicious and confused as to why she knew so clearly.
In any case, Xu Haiyue spoke in person, and the weight was different from that of Xu Hezi. Moreover, the reasons mentioned were also correct. When things developed to this point, Xu Jiangzi had to seriously consider the possibility of going outside the territory.
The conclusion is that it is really impossible not to agree, because when the situation is obvious, no one else can take on this task except myself, what reason can I have to shirk it? Besides, leaving for a while may be a good choice, otherwise the elders will not give up.
, and if you have any thoughts about yourself, it will become darker and darker, and even if you jump into the Yellow River, you can't wash it away.
The next day, Xu Jiangzi went to Xu Hezi and expressed his willingness to take on the task and work behind enemy lines outside the territory. According to Xu Hezi's statement the day before, the work outside the territory would be carried out by a small number of elites. Xu Jiangzi originally thought that it would be
Choose from the senior brothers you are familiar with. After all, they are all acquaintances with each other, so it is easy to do things, but the situation is not as you imagined.
"Brother Xujiangzi, there is something that can now let you know that in order to counter the counterattacks, the court has long organized personnel, sneaked into the enemy, and carried out all kinds of 'showing' disturbances over there.
When you arrive outside the domain, you will naturally contact you there to reduce your danger. "
The words of the silver robbery made Xu Jiangzi relieved, but also secretly shocked. The court is indeed an organization with the most resources. It has already set up dark piles outside the domain.
I know these secrets such a secret, is it his news? Or his power is high, but also on his own guess? All of this ... Maybe all the "knowledgeable scholars mentioned before the silver robbery.
"It doesn't matter!
After these things are properly arranged, Xu Jiangzi said goodbye to the familiar brother. Due to the secret of this task ', everything cannot be shouted loudly, nor can they tell them that they will go outside the domain.
It was sent to the north to support the situation, and these people heard that Xu Jiangzi was going to leave. It was surprised and asked, and it took some effort to ask Xu Jiangzi.
In the end, Xu Jiangzi finally set off, but even he never thought that he would meet a non -invited guest to see a guest.
