They now need poison doctors to study the opponent's locust methods, but they cannot force the opponent.
Otherwise, once the poison doctor is cornered and comes directly to Tailin City to poison, I am afraid more innocent people will die.
"What kind of poison is it?" Everyone was attracted by the poison doctor's words and looked sideways.
In the poison doctor's hand, he was holding a medicine bottle, which contained a dark brown liquid, which looked extremely scary.
I saw someone moved some crops over, and then caught locusts as experiments.
After Bai Yutian's transformation, Tiangong Institute now has a large testing ground.
Poison took out a little poison from the medicine bottle and carefully sprinkled it on the leaves.
However, before the locusts were released, Bai Yutian and others discovered that the leaves had begun to turn yellow and dry.
Afterwards, the locusts were released, but after seeing the yellowed and dry crops, they showed no interest at all and began to circle around the house.
Bai Yutian slapped his forehead, feeling disappointed.
"The poison I want you to research is specifically designed to target locusts, rather than killing crops as well. In this case, won't it have no effect in eliminating the locust plague?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The poison doctor nodded repeatedly and started a new round of research.
He originally planned to make some powerful poison directly, which could kill even humans, let alone mere locusts.
However, precisely because it could kill even locusts, this poison was directly rejected by Bai Yutian.
People still have to eat food, but if it is full of poison, how can they eat it?
But no matter what, the research has begun to progress, and Bai Yutian can no longer be hasty.
Methods to combat locust plagues have been studied for generations, and they are definitely not a temporary success.
Jiangbei official road.
A group of soldiers wearing armor were walking on the official road. Behind them, they were escorting food supplies for the 100,000-strong army in Jiangbei.
These grains were drawn from the imperial court and rushed to Jiangbei.
You must know that the 100,000-strong army in Jiangbei has run out of food. If this batch of food cannot be delivered in time, not to mention whether the city can be defended, even the soldiers under his command may mutiny.
Therefore, the group was extremely careful, fearing any accidents, and ensuring that the food could be delivered in time.
The person responsible for escorting this batch of food was a rising star promoted by Bai Yutian from among the recruits. He had performed well in the recruit competition and was very strong.
This person's name is Zhang Yi. Although his surname is Zhang, he has no relationship with the Zhang family in Huaizhou.
"General, the road ahead is a little bumpy, we need to slow down." Beside Zhang Yi, his deputy Xiong Kai reminded him.
Although Xiong Kai is Zhang Yi's deputy, he has participated in transporting food several times before. When Bai Yutian conquered the Shanu Kingdom in the Western Wilderness, Xiong Kai was responsible for transporting food.
Therefore, Xiong Kai can be regarded as Zhang Yi’s predecessor.
Even though Xiong Kai is the deputy at this time, Zhang Yi will listen to Xiong Kai's opinions on many decisions.
Zhang Yi nodded and smiled, "Brother Xiong has rich experience and has been taking care of me along the way. Fortunately, I have Brother Xiong taking care of me."
"It doesn't matter, you and I are working for His Majesty, and don't be humble, kid. Your Majesty has personally summoned you. You will definitely be higher than me in the future."
"When the time comes, don't forget to give me some support, brother."
Xiong Kai is very generous and kind, and he and Zhang Yi have been very happy getting along with each other these days.
"That's natural." Zhang Yi said quickly.
Zhang Yi's goal is to become a figure like Kou Wang and Jing Ling, who can lead troops in war at a young age and take charge of his own role.
However, after they walked for a while, Xiong Kai's face suddenly became wary. He looked around as if he was observing something.
At the same time, Xiong Kai signaled to Zhang Yi to stop the entire grain transport team.
"Brother Xiong, what's wrong?" Zhang Yi asked doubtfully.
Xiong Kai looked alert and said nothing, just observing the surroundings carefully.
"Retreat, retreat!" Suddenly, Xiong Kai shouted, and the sound like thunder spread throughout the entire team.
However, before they could start to retreat, the ground began to shake, and many boulders and rolling logs slid down from the valleys on both sides, some with flames on them.
Immediately, many figures ran down from the mountain, holding swords and looking fierce.
"The whole army is on alert, someone is stealing food!" Zhang Yi and Xiong Kai shouted almost simultaneously and drew their swords.
At the same time, they quickly organized their teams to protect the food, and then formed a defensive formation to meet the enemy.
Zhang Yi is worthy of being summoned by Bai Yutian himself. His martial arts value is also very strong, his muscle strength is terrifying, and he is not timid in the face of the enemy.
However, boulders and rolling logs fell down, killing and injuring numerous people in the food transport team instantly.
Moreover, some flames fell on the grain truck and a fire broke out instantly.
"Fire out! Fire out!" Zhang Yi shouted hoarsely. This was his first time transporting grain, and he didn't want to fail.
Not only that, these grains are also related to the safety of Jiangbei.
However, the nearest water source is dozens of miles away, and going back and forth cannot stop the flames from burning.
It was obvious that these people came well prepared and knew the terrain here well.
Immediately, the enemies on the mountain began to rush down and started fighting with the grain transport team.
The fight between these people is fake, but the subsequent battle to destroy the food is real.
Not only did they prevent Zhang Yi and others from extinguishing the flames and saving the grain, but they also destroyed more grain. All the grain trucks transporting grain were also destroyed and could not move.
This group of people did not love fighting. The battle only lasted for a short while before they began to retreat. There were not even any casualties on either side.
However, these grains can no longer be transported at all, and half of the grains have even been destroyed.
"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and put out the fire!" Zhang Yi rushed to the grain truck, regardless of the high temperature of the flames, and slapped the grain truck hard, hoping to save the food.
In the end, after several hours of hard work, they only managed to save half of the food.
This food was originally enough to support an army of 100,000 for seven or eight days, but now it only lasts for three or four days.
Moreover, they will definitely not be able to deliver the food in time.
"Brother Xiong, please inform His Majesty of this matter. The remaining people will follow me to carry the remaining grain to the north of the Yangtze River." Zhang Yi's eyes were full of anger, and he knelt on the ground and shouted.
These grains are life-saving grains and should not be wasted.
The next day, news that Bai Yutian could not imagine reached Tailin from Jiangbei.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and the food cannot be delivered to Jiangbei in time." Xiong Kai knelt in the main hall and burst into tears.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly?"
After hearing the news, Bai Yutian was shocked, and an unpleasant feeling surged into his heart.
He sat on the dragon chair and massaged his temples with his right hand, trying to relax himself while listening to Xiong Kai's explanation.
Xiong Kai crawled on the ground and told Bai Yutian exactly what happened.
