Chapter 280: Sword Pointing at Japan (8) has two sides
The Ming army's victory at Loushanguan was naturally a defeat at Loushanguan for Bozhou. When the news spread, the provinces were naturally excited, but people in the rebellious areas of Bozhou were panicked.
Yang Yinglong was very worried. He was busy arranging the defenses south of Loushanguan, and was busy appeasing his tribe and frightening the seedlings. Not only did he lose weight, but his spirit also weakened a lot.
On this day, brothers Tian Yipeng and Tian Feipeng asked to see Yang Yinglong. Yinglong invited him in and asked him what he was doing. The Tian brothers said they were here to offer a way to defeat the Ming army.
Yang Yinglong always looked down upon the Tian brothers and chuckled a few times, but still asked his brother what his plan was to defeat the enemy. Tian Yipeng said: "My brother is in charge of Miao affairs and has a good understanding of the secrets of Miao. This Miao witchcraft is
For the Han people, the spells are extremely secretive, unimaginable, and diverse, each with its own miraculous effect. It can be said that it kills people invisible. Many of the poisons in it can cause death or damage if they are slightly contaminated. The current situation is critical, and the army is close at hand, so this technique is used
When it comes in handy.”
The Yang family has been the chieftain of Bozhou for seven hundred years, and of course they have a deep understanding of the art of poison. Yang Yinglong shook his head after hearing this and said: "Although the art of poison is quite effective for individuals, it is very difficult to raise poison, and even more difficult to grow it."
. Even if you are a master of voodoo arts, the poison you carry with you is often only enough to kill or injure a dozen people. Even if I collect the voodoo masters from all over Bozhou, I am afraid they will only be able to take the lives of more than a thousand officers and soldiers. But this time the number of officers and soldiers is over 200,000.
What benefit does my move bring to the overall situation?"
Tian Feipeng replied: "Although the art of poisoning comes from the same source, the Miao, Yao, Tong and other ethnic groups are often good at it in different ways, and there are also methods that can make more people fall into the poison.
For example, there are more than a hundred people in Bozhou who study voodoo poisons intensively. The voodoos they cultivate include snake voodoo, epileptic voodoo, chicken voodoo, louse voodoo, water voodoo, etc. Most of them are voodoo poisons made from poisonous insects, among which there are many
A small amount of poison can kill a large number of people, which is enough to make the officers and soldiers miserable after being poisoned, and they will definitely die within seven days."
Yang Yinglong thought for a moment and then asked: "But there are more than 100,000 troops approaching me. Can we defeat the enemy just by relying on these poisons? And how to grow poisons?" Planting poisons is actually quite a lot.
When it comes to poisoning, Yang Yinglong means how to poison.
Tian Yipeng said: "From the current point of view, the army will attack Dragon Claw, the land of Haiyun. Although it is a dangerous place, the troops are insufficient, and they are afraid of the power of the army, so they will not be able to hold on for a day even if they think about it.
Therefore, before asking for instructions, my two brothers had already dispersed several kinds of poison between the two places, and sent capable people disguised as guides, vegetable vendors, etc. to sneak into the army barracks and secretly poison their food reserves.
He must be unaware of it.
Once the officers and soldiers are poisoned one after another, suffering and dying miserably, it will be difficult for them to find out the truth and there is no way to solve it. They also don’t know when, where and who will be infected by the strange poison again. Therefore, it is inevitable that the officers and soldiers will
Fear spread, and I didn't dare to move forward, even to eat or drink.
As a result, the officers and soldiers will naturally become disorganized, weakened in fighting strength, and ultimately unable to fight. However, we can wait for the opportunity, and when they are almost collapsed, we can annihilate them all in one go, and then regain the entire territory of Bozhou."
After hearing this, Yang Yinglong laughed loudly, put away his previous contempt, and praised the Tian brothers endlessly: "In this case, I have nothing to worry about. Tian can predict the enemy's opportunity and come up with this clever strategy, and he will definitely be able to teach the officer
The army never came back, and made an immortal contribution to ensuring the safety of Bozhou.
Of course, the officers and soldiers are still there, so don't be careless. We still need to investigate at all times. When the officers and soldiers are defeated, it will be the day when the Tian family will receive a great reward!" The Tian brothers were overjoyed, thanked and left.
After the Tian family left, Yang Yinglong was secretly worried. Although the Yang family, like the chieftains from all over the southwest, had their own set of secret techniques to prevent poisons, he was not worried that the Tian family could harm the Yang family.
However, as Yang Yinglong himself said just now, although there are many miraculous poisons in the world, few can harm many people at once. If the Tian family really masters a poison that can poison tens of thousands of soldiers at a time, then what will happen?
Didn't it mean that the Lord of Bozhou could change his name and surname just overnight? Yang Yinglong's eyes were cold and he secretly made up his mind to wait for an opportunity to eradicate the Tian family lineage to avoid future troubles.
Not long ago, the Ming army marched to Dragon Claw and Haiyun Land. After a day of fierce fighting, they successively conquered these two dangerous places. They were busy exploring the terrain and testing the enemy's situation, but they received reports one after another that soldiers in the army suddenly felt unwell and suffered from colic in their bodies.
Report.
Due to the sudden incident and the increasing number of patients, the Ming army had no choice but to suspend its marching plan and ordered military doctors to examine it. However, after the examination, it was difficult to diagnose for a while. In the next two days, soldiers in each battalion suffered from strange symptoms one after another, and soon the number reached nearly a thousand.
the crowd.
Among these people, there are bloated and distended abdomens, vomiting and diarrhea, flushed faces, loss of appetite, erratic laughter and swearing, acting crazy, unbearable itching all over the body, like insects biting the body, and many more. There are many kinds of strange symptoms.
Later, after joint judgment by military doctors from various armies, all these anomalies in the Ming army were caused by poison, and the poison was either in the food or in the mountains. The legend of poison was widely circulated, and it was first heard that it was poison.
The poison made the officers and men of the Ming army become frightened, and there was no way to cure it. People in the military camp were panicked.
Just the next day, a large number of Ming soldiers were tortured to death, and the death conditions were all bizarre and horrific. Some people in each battalion of the Ming army even committed suicide. The desire to return home spread among the army. Rumors spread everywhere, and the generals of each battalion stopped them many times.
, to appease the morale of the army, but the morale of the army is about to collapse. Except for a few elite groups, the number of deserters from various departments has been increasing day by day.
Officials from all walks of life will gather in the camp to discuss for many days, but there is no countermeasure. Ma Kongying said: "I saw that after the man was bitten by the snake poison, there was a swelling about two or three inches long in the body, which could beat and move around the body and bite.
, extremely terrifying. It is said that snakes can be attracted outside at night, attacking from both inside and outside, making life worse than death and unable to seek treatment."
Wu Guang said: "Not only snake voodoo, but also people who are infected by lice voodoo are itchy all over the body. When scratched, blisters will appear. The lice in the bubbles are in groups, which is disgusting. If you scratch them, they will be filled with poisonous blood and black dirt.
The current continues."
Shizhu chieftain Ma Qiancheng said: "This is the Miao border witchcraft. It is not actually the most dangerous type. In the early stage, it usually causes chest and abdominal cramps and foreign bodies in the body. It takes a few days to develop. If it is not treated, it will eventually bleed to death."
, but if you can get the method to remove the poison, most of them will not have any sequelae, and they will disappear immediately. It is not the life and death of those poisons that cannot be solved or that once the poison is solved, it will harm the person who planted the poison."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Dong Yiyuan stopped him quickly and said: "Hey, Ma Xuanwei, are you trying to comfort or intimidate? Now the army is panicked, and there is no treatment for it. It's about to happen.
If we don't fight, we will collapse. This Yang Yinglong is so cunning and cruel that he can actually use this vicious trick to harm our army.
What's even more troublesome now is that we don't know how many poisonous poisons are hidden in the mountains and fields. The whole army is restless in eating and sleeping. Yang Yinglong probably expected this. At this time, he should be gathering his troops and preparing to annihilate me in one fell swoop.
I think now is a critical moment. I even heard that there are seedlings in Sichuan. Have you ever heard of the method of removing the poison? Why don't you ask Song Zhijun and Guo Fujun to send people to search for it immediately? If the treatment is timely, our army can still
A battle."
Liu Wei thought it was not feasible: "I know a magic hand who can use poison. She is a Yao girl named 'Ali'. She is an old acquaintance of the Marquis of Nanning, and she once gave the Marquis magic medicine to him.
Keep Lord Marquis away from all kinds of poisonous poisons. If she is here, these mere poisonous poisons will not be worth mentioning.
But now... After all these years, Miss Ali is already a grass ghost old lady of the Yao people. I don’t know where she lives. Maybe even the Marquis doesn’t know about it. Only Annan Huang Dutong is her close friend. I should know her whereabouts.
.
However, Huang Dutong was far away in Dinnan City, Siam. Even if he sent a letter by flying pigeon, it would take several days. In addition, it was impossible for her to contact Miss Ali by flying pigeon. In this case, she would have to wait until someone came to seek treatment.
I am afraid that the entire army has been poisoned to death, or has been killed by the rebels... In short, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer."
Ma Qiancheng was horrified after hearing these words, and asked: "This girl Ali that Liu Zongrong mentioned was the senior who succeeded the Grass Ghost Grandmother the year before last and has the eyes of cinnabar?"
Liu Wei said in surprise: "Why do you call her senior? If I am not mistaken, she should be from Yao."
But before it was Ma Qiancheng's turn to explain, Deng Zilong interrupted: "Let's not talk about this for now. Since it is difficult to find medicine in the short term, we will definitely die if we continue to stay here. There is no point in continuing to station, let alone
Therefore, the soldiers' lives were in vain.
In my opinion, only by temporarily withdrawing from Bozhou and returning to Sichuan can we avoid being besieged by the enemy after losing combat effectiveness. We can also try to find this girl Ali for medicine. In my opinion, I should report it to Zhijun immediately and ask her to find a solution.
The Gu method allows us to withdraw our troops and return to Sichuan for resettlement."
Marin is from the north and doesn't know much about poison. He is very opposed to withdrawing troops. However, given the current situation, he has no choice but to say: "If we withdraw from Bozhou, all the hard work of our troops so far will be lost."
All efforts will be in vain. Yang Yinglong won a great victory and doubled his power. The court did not know when it would mobilize its army again. It would be extremely difficult to attack Bozhou again.
At the same time, the Bozhou Army can attack from all sides and expand its territory unrivaled. But according to the current situation, it seems that we have the only option to withdraw our troops. I...agree with General Deng's opinion, let's ask the Zhijun for permission to withdraw our troops first.
.”
When everyone felt that they had nothing to do and could only consider withdrawing their troops, Ma Qiancheng's wife Qin Liangyu suddenly broke into the tent and claimed that she had a way to cure the poison. The generals were delighted to hear this, and even though they did not know whether it was true or not, they urgently ordered her to speak.
Qin Liangyu said: "Miao Gu is passed down from female to male, so even though my husband is also a chieftain, he doesn't know much about it. Although my general has never studied the art of voodoo, he does know how to cure some common voodoo poisons.
The poisons that are raging so much now are often not unsolvable, but just ordinary poisons. In the past two days, I have carefully examined the conditions of people suffering from the poison, and most of them can be brewed with realgar, garlic, and calamus.
Swallowing it will make the poisoned person release the poison and expel the poison from the body. However, remember that not only will the stench fill the sky, but the feces and feces must also be properly buried, and must not be left alone.
However, there are also some unusual poisons in the army, so the accompanying military doctors are helpless. However, for different poisons, the method of overcoming all kinds of poisons or special drugs must be used to exorcise the poisons.
But don't worry, generals. I have brought an old Miao from my clan, who is a specialist in poison poisoning in our clan. He has made his own Qiandu Powder, a prescription for exorcism, which is extremely effective and will surely turn the whole army into a powerful enemy.
An." The generals were overjoyed and hurriedly invited the Miao doctor to come in. It turned out to be an old woman. It seems that it is indeed common for Miao Gu to pass on from female to male, which is different from other tribes.
After that, Miao doctors first led the troops to eliminate the remaining poisonous poisons in the general's grain storage and water sources and grasslands around the camp, and then treated the poisoned soldiers one by one. As a result, the morale of the army gradually recovered.
Miao doctors also taught people how to prevent poisons: "Poisons are generally divided into two types: artificial poisons and natural poisons. Artificial poisons are made by poisons refined by poison masters. Most of them are colorless and odorless. They are often poisoned in the dark. Once they are poisoned,
If people accidentally eat or come into contact with it, they will suffer from poisonous poison.
Natural poisonous poisons are often produced by bats, turtle doves, crows, eels and other animals, and are left in ponds and ditches. People and animals may accidentally ingest them and become sick without noticing.
From now on, military rations and drinking water must be strictly guarded, and no strangers should be allowed within a mile. The raw water in the mountains is easy to grow poison in the upper reaches, so it is especially not drinkable.
In addition, chew the garlic into puree, give a small amount to each person, and take it once a day. After taking it, observe the tongue coating, the whites of the eyes, etc. to test whether it is poisoned or not. The last thing is to pack the powder of my exorcist.
It is made into a small bag and tied to the calf. Its pharmacological properties include the method of stimulating and suppressing the poison. Its fragrance and taste can alert the poisonous insects, so it has the effect of driving away the poisonous insects and making them afraid to approach."
After she said this, she suddenly looked at Liu Wei and said with a smile: "Although it is not as good as the Chixia insect-avoiding soup that the Marquis of Nanning drank at the grass ghost grandmother's house, it is enough to deal with these common poisons."
She was the one who cured the poisonous diseases in the army. Naturally, no one doubted her. They were all impressed. At the same time, they were also curious about how mysterious the bowl of soup that Gao Pragmatic drank was.
Ma Qiancheng was also amazed that there was such an expert in his wife Qin Liangyu's clan. Qin Liangyu laughed and said that the method of poisoning was not a royal way. This senior in the clan had only devoted his whole life to detaching poisons, which was different from that of "Senior Ah Li"
Very similar.
In fact, it is true that Ah Li was also very powerful in poisoning, but she herself also said that she was better at healing. It can be seen that the art of poisoning is originally a benevolent art, but due to various reasons, its poisoning method has been widely abused, and its use as a medical skill has not been well-known.
Obviously, it is really disappointing.
Thanks to the Miao doctor's mastery, the Gu soldiers in the Ming army were getting better day by day. Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu specially arranged an army to protect them. After receiving the news, Song Liangzuo, the commander of the army, also happened to send someone to check on the general's recovery and asked him to
When the generals reported that it was time to advance the army, all the generals of the Ming army agreed and agreed that they should rest for a few days before advancing.
The Bozhou Army found out that the poisoned soldiers in the barracks were recovering one after another. They were so frightened that they did not dare to act rashly. Instead, they hurriedly reported to Yang Yinglong.
Yang Yinglong was extremely disappointed when he found out, and said: "The main force of the official army is approaching, and it may be difficult to resist it. As long as Loushanguan cannot be retaken, the main force of Bozhou will not be able to fight in other directions. Now the morale of the official army has been greatly improved, and the Miao soldiers of all directions are
After being defeated, the only solution now is to shrink our troops and follow the example of our ancestors and retreat to Longyan to wait for the opportunity." Everyone was silent.
So Yang Yinglong ordered the whole government to pack up and prepare to retreat to Longyantun, and ordered the Miao soldiers on the front line to defend the border and delay the advance of the official army.
