The green grass blades soon turned red, obviously sucking blood.
And even if the soldiers run fast, more weeds will dig into their calves and suck blood along the way, making them unable to escape.
No wonder the more you walk, the more tired you become. You have taken so much blood, how can you not feel tired?
Some soldiers were brave enough to pull out their machetes and chop at their feet, chopping the weeds until green juice splattered everywhere, mixed with blood, which looked particularly disgusting.
But even so, these weeds still grew new branches and leaves rapidly and continued to draw the blood of the soldiers.
"Burn with fire!"
Qian Pingwu suddenly woke up. His condition was much better than those of the soldiers. He was riding a war horse. The height of the weeds was limited and could not reach him at all. However, the blood drawn from the war horse under his crotch made his legs weak.
, he was about to lie down.
Hearing the general's roar, the soldiers suddenly realized and immediately used torches to burn the weeds.
It has to be said that fire is indeed a natural enemy of plants.
Once the torch was burned, the nearby weeds quickly withered and turned yellow, and no longer showed the vigorous and rapid growth they had before.
But the number of torches was always limited, and the weeds at their feet were burned to death. When they continued to move forward, they fell into the weeds again and had to continue to use torches to burn them.
After a short while, the torch went out.
Without the torch, it is impossible to move forward, or even to retreat!
Qian Pingwu looked back.
He was only a hundred meters away from the temporary camp, but the distance of more than a hundred meters was completely covered by weeds.
These weeds grow extremely luxuriantly, reaching a height of 1.5 meters in some places. People can only peek out when they walk inside.
Just think of the terrifying blood-sucking power of these weeds!
Wouldn’t it be seeking death if you went in?
Will his blood be drained instantly and die?
Thinking of such an embarrassing way to die, Qian Pingwu felt a little weak in his calves.
He was not afraid of being hacked to death or shot to death by the enemy on the battlefield, but this way of dying really frightened him.
"This is a magic spell! We have tools to break the magic spell!"
Qian Pingwu encouraged everyone and took the lead in raising the wooden bucket in his hand and pouring the mixture forward.
Suddenly, a blood line more than ten meters long fell down, covering the weeds within the area.
The soldiers followed suit one after another, eager to find a way to escape immediately.
But when they emptied the contents of the barrel, they were shocked to find that the situation seemed completely different from what they had imagined.
In their minds, if these evil-destroying props are poured out, the demon's evil spell will be destroyed, and they can smoothly rush to the Taoist temple and give the demon a good look.
But here comes the problem. After those weeds were poured out the magic-breaking tools, they seemed to be stimulated, and their growth rate became more than ten times faster, and they were instantly submerged in the sea of weeds!
The reason is very simple. The evil-killing tools prepared by Qian Pingwu are like excellent fertilizers for these weeds, which is why they grow so fast and luxuriantly.
By the time those weeds stopped growing, Qian Pingwu and others had been entangled by countless weeds and turned into straw men.
Fortunately, the soldiers under him were eager to protect the master. After seeing that the weeds were no longer moving, they held torches and fought their way into the grass to rescue them.
Otherwise, they will be unable to move in the haystack, and even if they don't die from being sucked out of their blood by the weeds, they will still starve to death!
Of course, even so, they were all skinny and unconscious at this time, with most of the blood in their bodies drained.
It would be good to be able to leave a small life behind.
what to do?
Qian Pingwu's two lieutenants looked at each other.
Now that the general was unconscious, and the Three Emperors Temple was indeed a bit strange, they did not dare to act rashly, and immediately sent messengers to report to King Zuo and ask for his instructions.
His Royal Highness Zuo Wang, who was leading an army of more than 200,000 people toward Huangshui Mansion in Liujiang Province, was dumbfounded after receiving the report from the messenger.
You must know that Qian Pingwu is one of his trusted generals.
This time he was selected as the leader of the three vanguard battalions because of high hopes for him.
But what he never expected was that Qian Pingwu encountered a disaster outside a broken Taoist temple in Donglin County.
Those are three thousand elite soldiers and horses, but they can't deal with a Taoist temple?
Is the general still unconscious?
"Waste! Waste!"
However, even if King Zuo scolds him, the prestige of the kingdom of God on earth cannot be lost.
So King Zuo gave an order, and the army suddenly turned left, instead of going to Huangshui Mansion, and went straight to Donglin County, and sent troops to Sanhuangguan!
The army rushed forward and arrived at the Three Emperors Temple two days later.
More than 200,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the Three Emperors Temple.
This large army led by King Zuo is not like the vanguard battalion, it is just some cavalry.
The more than 3,000 musketeers neatly arrayed at the front of the military formation were the biggest killers in the hands of King Zuo.
In addition, on both sides of the musketeers are more than a dozen squatting cannons, which are great weapons for attacking cities and seizing territory!
Just putting it up like this gives people a feeling of being out of their minds.
Seeing such a scene outside the Taoist temple, not to mention the two little brothers, even Li Zaixing who climbed to the bell tower to watch the excitement was so frightened that his legs went weak.
After he came down, Fang Xiuyun asked curiously, and Li Zaixing could only complain in his heart, with a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay, the army outside is just passing by."
Fang Xiuyun naturally didn't know about the previous conflict between Fang Xiaoyue and Zuo Wangdajun. Hearing what Li Zaixing would say, she patted her chest repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Xiaoyue also comforted her sister, saying it was okay and everything was taken care of by her brother.
However, this Zuo Wang is not as easy to deal with as the reckless general before.
The King of Zuo sat in the large tent of the Chinese army and ordered the scouts to report the situation.
The information about the horse detection came from a group of farmers who were caught in the wild.
This is not surprising, not everyone can hide in the county.
You should know that the county also collects city taxes.
What's more, now people from all over the country have fled into the county, and the county is already overcrowded.
Magistrate Cui had already issued an order and was determined not to allow anyone to enter the city again.
Of course, as a parent official, he could not explicitly say that ordinary people were not allowed to enter the city. He only reminded Inspector Lin not to let enemies into the city to spy on them.
Although Inspector Lin did not want to take responsibility, he was taught by Inspector Lao Lin and understood what Magistrate Cui meant.
Therefore, three days ago, the county seat completely closed its gates.
Thousands of people had gathered outside the city gate before. They were crying and wanting to enter the city, but the soldiers guarding the city did not pay attention to them at all.
If the commotion is too big, a few flying arrows may fall, and you deserve to be shot to death.
