Next to the swamp, there was the body of a salvaged Qin army soldier. It was like a pierced water bag, shriveled and limp on the ground. Countless insects were densely packed with crawling around on his body, but he was afraid of the Qin army soldiers.
The torch did not rush anywhere else.
It turned out that in just less than a stick of incense, the bodies of these Guilin soldiers who were exploring the path and fell into the swamp were hollowed out by the insect, leaving only the thin layer of human skin outside the body!
Under the swamp that was more than ten feet in a radius, the turbid sewage continued to churn. From time to time, rolling black worms rolled out of the water and then sank into the swamp.
The dense black insect group that appeared in the swamp made all the Guilin soldiers around the swamp look pale. Obviously, this small swamp is the old nest that hollowed out Feng Fan and others' flesh and blood, and I don't know it inside.
How many such bugs are there.
But there is one thing that can be assured, that is, these bugs seem to be unable to get ashore.
Looking at the corpses of dozens of Qin soldiers including Feng Fan and others covered by dense black bugs, Feng Jie knew that even if Feng Fan and others were caught, they would probably be like the Guilin soldiers who were caught before.
"Get tinder."
Although Feng Jie was sad, as the commander of the army, he knew that he could not be confused at this moment. He looked back at the Feng clan's personal guard who had reported the news before and shouted.
"Here!"
In a short while, more than ten wooden barrels filled with liquid were transported to the swamp by a group of soldiers.
"Let's take a look again and see if this swamp is just here."
Because of this swamp, Feng Fan and other soldiers who were exploring the way were all killed, and the army had completely stopped advancing.
No one knows whether the swamp is really just over ten feet in a radius as it has been exposed. If you don’t figure out the area of the swamp and move forward rashly, you will bet on the lives of ordinary soldiers.
Soon, thousands of soldiers rolled over thick logs more than ten feet long.
This is the discovery and experience of dealing with the Guilin Army in the past month and the experience of dealing with such extremely deep swamps. Each log weighs no less than hundreds of pounds, rolls over in a row, even if it is hidden in the deep swamp.
It will also be pressed down and appear to be formed. The most important thing is that each log has a long stick to push forward. Then it is wrapped with a rope, and the logs will be pressed out of the swamp and will not sink in general
Enter the swamp. Of course, even if it sinks into the swamp, you can pull it up for waste to use it with ropes.
In this way, even if there are unknown strange beasts lurking in the swamp, they will not hurt people.
Of course, everyone in the Guilin Army knew that it was indeed dangerous in the primitive jungle. But what was even more dangerous was the large area of open space that suddenly appeared in the primitive jungle.
Such an open space is likely to be a swamp with a huge range. Where Feng Fan and others fell, there are open spaces and trees, which is why Feng Fan and others fell into the swamp.
In a moment, the shape of the swamp appeared.
Sure enough, it was not just the area of more than ten feet in the radius of Feng Fan and others. It was surrounded by tall trees, with an area of nearly thirty feet.
After a while of exploration, three more Guilin soldiers fell into the swamp because of the obstruction of trees. They didn't even have time to make a cry. When the soldiers behind them pulled the rope tied to their waists,
What was taken back was only empty ropes that remained in a slip knot state. There was not even blood on them.
In just a few breaths, a living person was hollowed out by the insects. The power of the insects made all the soldiers in Guilin shudder.
More than a dozen closed and tight wooden barrels were opened, and the black viscous liquid in the barrel was exposed, emitting a pungent breath. If there were people from later generations at this time, they would definitely be able to identify them immediately. In this wooden barrel
Things that Feng Jie calls tincture oil are the most indispensable and important energy, oil, that are absolutely indispensable in later generations.
Of course, the oil used by Feng Jie and others at this moment is still crude oil.
This oil was collected by Hu Hai from the two counties of Bashu, and was specially sent to Xiang County by Longwei Prefecture for Feng Jie to use.
Crude oil is insoluble in water and has extremely strong adhesion. Ordinary water will not make these crude oils ineffective and no longer burn, and it is even more impossible to extinguish them with water.
Such good things are suitable for use in rainy and humid places in the Indochina Peninsula.
Hu Haitong prepared less than 300 barrels of crude oil for Feng Jie.
After all, we travel through the vast primitive jungle, and this primitive jungle is densely covered with various large and small water systems. Large heavy weapons such as large continuous crossbows are simply unavailable, and they are not easy to transport, so it is easy to add such a logistics.
Or that kind of burden.
Nowadays, the sixteen legions of the Great Qin Dynasty, including the guards who do not have numbers, are strictly divided into various types of troops.
Based on the original cavalry, scout (scout), infantry and other corpses, Hu Hai once again added three new corps, including baggage, logistics, and medical and nurses.
The baggage soldiers, logistics soldiers and medical soldiers will not directly participate in the war. The baggage soldiers are mainly responsible for the transportation of logistics supplies. In addition to the swords and armor that will not affect their movements, they do not even have the Qin crossbows that are necessary for the Qin army.
Equipment, logistics soldiers and medical soldiers do not have any other necessary armor and weapons.
The weapons of the logistics soldiers are naturally like pots and other items; the medical soldiers are medical boxes.
The various legions of Daqin are gradually entering the trend of professionalization.
Like the Guilin Army, the South China Navy Army, the Jiuyuan Army, and the Pingyi Army went on an expedition this time, no civilians were recruited to participate. All the supplies were completed by various troops.
Although this increases the burden on the army and seems to weaken the combat effectiveness of the army, it is actually an inevitable necessity to make the Qin army more professional.
Except for the medical and nurses from the Medical College of the Royal College of Qin, the daily training of the baggage and logistics soldiers is no different from that of ordinary soldiers. In other words, except for the different division of labor, the combat power is not different. Once the entire army falls into disadvantages.
In the situation, these baggage and logistics soldiers can be directly equipped with weapons to the battlefield.
The 100,000 troops of each legion did not include the number of soldiers in the baggage and logistics soldiers. In other words, the various legiones of the Qin Dynasty said they were 100,000 troops. In fact, if the baggage and logistics soldiers were added, a complete number of soldiers in the corps.
It is far more than 100,000 people. Basically, it is about 120,000 people.
In addition to nearly 300 barrels of oil, Hu Hai also prepared 100 barrels of explosives for Feng Jie. These explosives are powerful tools for cracking mountains and cracking stones. For more than a month, gunpowder and gunpowder have helped Feng Jie.
A lot of busyness.
However, compared with oil that can burn in water, gunpowder is hard to serve. Therefore, the 200-person Longwei Mansion Dead Soldier is responsible for protecting these gunpowder and sealing them tightly with tightly sealed glue wax.
Nearly ten barrels of oil were poured down along the swamp in a circle, and the viscous liquid wrapped the entire swamp firmly. Then, the Guilin soldiers opened ten barrels of turmeric oil again and poured it into the swamp.
A thick layer of rotten leaves floated on the swamp, and several unrecoverable logs. In a short while, the black tincture oil slowly covered the entire swamp.
The black bugs in the swamp did not seem to feel any danger, and were wrapped in a ball of black and viscous tincture. The viscous tincture, perhaps in their opinion, the viscous tincture and the viscous tincture in the swamp.
Mud is almost the same.
Black bugs and black tincture oil can't tell which insects and which tincture oil are.
But this is not a problem at all.
As Feng Jie's right hand was filled with bloodshot eyes, torches were thrown into the swamp. In less than a moment, the swamp turned into a sea of fire.
The soldiers of Guilin had already opened fire belts and cleaned up all the flammable items in a circle around the swamp. However, the fire could not spread across the swamp and burned to the surrounding jungle.
If it burns into the surrounding jungle, the Guilin soldiers would probably burn themselves and others to death in this primitive jungle. After all, tincture oil is not afraid of this humid environment.
The harsh and squeaking sounds of "squeaking" in the sea of fire kept ringing.
Everyone knows that it is the sound of the black bug when it is burned to death in the tincture oil.
However, dozens of corpses in robes will never be brought back to Xianyang for burial.
"The army continues to move forward! The Qin Dynasty will win!"
Feng Jie glanced at the swamp where the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and said in a deep voice.
With this swamp blocking the way, the Guilin army could only bypass and find a new passage. After all, although the turmeric oil is powerful, there are countless insects in the swamp, and no one knows how many fire can burn it.
insect.
"The Qin Dynasty will win!"
To the south of the Great Qin Dynasty, the overwhelming shouts soared into the sky deep in the vast primitive jungle. Countless dead leaves fell, as if trembling.
After more than a month of marching, brothers around you will be killed every day. No one has counted how many casualties have been suffered by the Guilin Army so far.
After the initial panic, the Guilin Army soldiers who were already accustomed to this deep and dangerous primitive jungle were not only not defeated by the threats lurking everywhere in the primitive jungle, but also aroused the Guilin Army soldiers' desire to hate the enemy.
Travel through this jungle and conquer this jungle.
It has become an obsession in the hearts of Guilin soldiers. Even if the bones are buried in this jungle, even if the bones are not left like Feng Fan and others, so what?
Why did the Qin people be afraid?
How could the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty be afraid?
In the vast primitive jungle, a long black dragon winds forward, gradually sank into the depths of the deep green jungle.
...
Compared with the smooth sailing Yu Ziqi and Feng Jie, who already had the ambition to die, the White Tiger General Du Teng has been very depressed recently. It can be said that after the White Tiger Army took down the Western Regions, Du
Teng has been very depressed all the time. (To be continued.)
