In the morning, Lin Ze went to Ren Xiao and said, "General, please send someone to deliver a message to Marquis Longchuan now. The Sirius Army needs to replenish food, grass and ordnance."
Hu Hai asked doubtfully: "This battle has not been fought yet, and the army is already short of food?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "This trip will take a lot of time. It's better to prepare early. As the saying goes: If you have food at home, you won't panic."
Ren Xiao had no objection. Zhao Tuo had already promised to provide full assistance, so naturally he would not argue with Hu Hailinze on this matter, so he immediately sent someone back to deliver the message.
Liu Mengchan hurried over and saluted Hu Hai and said: "Sir, military advisors and scouts are here to report that there is something strange in the jungle. Hundreds of monsters have been driven away by the Nanzhao natives and are heading towards the camp."
After hearing this, Lin Ze laughed and said: "Is it a secret technique to drive away beasts? It's interesting. Go tell Commander Han and let him be prepared. In addition, ask Qianyuan to send someone to bring thirty cans of kerosene and a few live monsters. My military advisor
it works."
"Sir, General Ren, why don't we go together and see what the Nanzhao natives are doing."
After speaking, Lin Ze took the lead and climbed onto the camp wall. Looking over, he saw countless monsters roaring and being driven by a few people dressed as wizards, and quickly rushed towards the camp.
At this time, Han Xin and Chen Ping also got the news and went up to the camp wall. On the other side, Qianyuan also sent the kerosene and monsters that Lin Ze wanted to the camp wall.
The secret technique of driving away beasts and the technique of raising poisonous insects are two secret techniques unique to southern tribes. Every tribe with some strength has a group of wizards who specialize in learning and researching these secret techniques.
Decades ago, when the Southern Expeditionary Army first set foot on this land, they suffered greatly from these two secret arts and suffered heavy losses. After years of fighting and fighting, they had no knowledge of most of the secrets of the Southern Barbarian indigenous people that had appeared.
Each technique has detailed records and corresponding strategies.
Half of the information sent by Zhao Tuo that day was specifically recorded. Lin Ze had already stored it in his mind through Xiao Jin's scan, so once he heard about it, he immediately thought of a countermeasure.
The secret technique in front of you, which can only allow monsters and poisonous insects to commit suicide attacks, is the lowest level among them. Monsters and poisonous insects are naturally afraid of fire, and thirty cans of fire oil are enough.
The wizards of Tonggu Village drove the monsters to a place about a mile away from the camp, and then stopped moving forward, because the warriors brought by the goddess told them that the devil's bows and arrows could shoot so far.
However, Lin Ze, who had arranged two battalions (each with a hundred people) to string their bows and arrows, and wanted to kill a few wizards, miscalculated. He then ordered to fire arrows at the monster beasts that were running towards him. Suddenly, more than a dozen first- and second-grade monster beasts were killed.
land.
Sure enough, as recorded in the classics, the other monsters not only did not stop, but became even more violent.
Lin Ze was not frustrated and asked the soldiers to throw the kerosene cans out. In an instant, a sea of fire formed in front of the camp.
The scorching and bright fire light restored the swarm of monsters that had been driven into a frenzy by the secret technique, and began to retreat under the impact of inner fear.
However, Lin Ze did not intend to let them go easily. At Lin Ze's signal, Qingfeng threw two live monster beasts onto the top of the group of monster beasts and shattered them with his true energy, causing the group of monster beasts to experience a rain of flesh and blood.
The monster beasts that had regained their instincts were directly stimulated by the smell of blood, and started killing each other.
A quarter of an hour later, of the hundreds of monster beasts, only a dozen left with their tails between their legs. The Tianlang Army camp became a mess. At a glance, there were stumps and internal organs of monster beasts everywhere, mixed with mud and blood.
Then neither party was frightened, but their eyes became firmer.
In the jungle, the goddess of Nanzhao snorted coldly: "This devil's subordinate from the north is quite capable. He can actually decipher the elementary secret skills passed down by the gods. Chief of Tonggu Village, follow me to meet the devil's son.
civil."
The leader of Tonggu Village immediately knelt on the ground and advised: "Goddess, the devil's people are too dangerous, please don't get close to them."
The goddess of Nanzhao scolded: "Warrior, are you scared by the devil? I have the protection of the gods. How can the devils harm me? Besides, the gods and warriors are by my side, so they can protect my safety."
After saying that, he ignored the big leader lying on the ground and ordered the golden feather warriors to carry him to the gate of the Sirius Army camp. Several strong men from the Buddhist sect were accompanying him for protection.
Lin Ze looked ahead in confusion. Four Nanzhao natives carried the little girl to the camp, followed by a few bald heads. Well, those bald heads looked like monks.
What do the people of Nanzhao want to do? Get married? Knowing that they can't defeat them, they send the leader's daughter to beg for surrender? Then why go to all the trouble and drive monsters to attack the camp?
"I am the daughter of the Nanzhao Goddess. Where is the leader of the devil's people? Do you dare to come out and see me?" As soon as the Nanzhao Goddess spoke, Lin Ze realized that he was overthinking.
Yes, Lin Ze understood. For Lin Ze, Nanzhao dialect was not difficult to learn. He only learned it with those soldiers for half a day. The soldiers were simply astonished. Of course, it was mainly because of Xiao Jin.
The auxiliary ability is really strong.
So Lin Ze loudly replied: "Are you the biggest leader of the Nanzhao people on the opposite side?"
The goddess of Nanzhao then replied: "Yes, leader of the devil's people, tell me why you want to invade my land of Nanzhao."
If two armies are fighting and the other side's general comes to you and asks you why you want to start a war, how will you answer?
Lin Ze did not answer her with his words, but answered her with his strength and actions. He gave the order directly, and the five hundred bows were fully drawn and then loosened, and a rain of arrows directly hit the heads of the goddess and the group of people.
Lin Ze always felt that it was foolish for a general to challenge him to a duel. If he could take the opportunity to kill the opponent's general, at least half of the battle would be won.
However, this rain of arrows did not hurt the goddess of Nanzhao. One of the monks took a few steps forward, took off his robe, and was filled with zhenqi. As soon as he wrapped it up, all the arrows that came close to the goddess were stopped by him alone.
The goddess of Nanzhao was angered by Lin Ze's shameless behavior and shouted: "Chief of the devil's people, you are not worthy of being a leader at all. You have no magnanimity. You will be burned to death."
Lin Ze was not moved at all, but answered the previous question: "Daughter of the Nanzhao God, I am not the leader of the devil's people, I am the general of the Qin Empire, and I am here to hunt down the people of the Buddha Sect."
He pointed at the bald heads with his finger.
The reason was made up by Lin Ze on the fly. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he really couldn't say with confidence, I'm just here to bully you. Since I saw a few bald heads, didn't Emperor Qin say he wanted to hunt down the people of the Buddha Sect? Just bring it.
Make an excuse.
As for you telling me that bald heads and Buddhist people are not one and the same, I'm sorry, I really can't make up any other good reasons, so I'll just make do with it.
The leader, the old monk, said: "The donor can actually recognize that we are from the Buddhist sect? No, the donor has practiced the martial arts of my Buddhist sect, no wonder he can recognize us."
Lin Ze... has the blind cat bumped into a dead mouse? These bald heads are really members of the Buddhist sect. Then his face changed, and he looked at the daughter of the Nanzhao God with pity. The Sirius army came to conquer, and at most Nanzhao could be destroyed.
The two villages stayed in southern Xinjiang for a few years and then returned.
If Nanzhao really got involved with the Buddhist sect, given the behavior of Emperor Qin, Nanzhao would probably be exterminated.
Looking at the old monk's face, Lin Ze probably didn't know that Emperor Qin had issued a killing order for the Buddha Sect. Naturally, he would not remind him. Instead, he said to Hu Hai: "Sir, I'm afraid this battle is no longer yours."
I have it under control. Please return to Chang'an immediately and tell your majesty that the Buddha Sect is hiding in Nanzhao in the southwest."
Hu Hai looked confused: "What does the Buddha Sect have to do with our war? Why do I want to leave?"
Lin Ze could only explain patiently: "The Buddha Sect is one of the three religions and is very powerful. If the Buddha Sect knows that the young master of the Qin Empire is here, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape."
Hu Hai turned around and said, "I will never leave, my master. Even if I, Hu Hai, die in southern Xinjiang, I will never return to Chang'an."
Lin Ze...
At this time, the Nanzhao Goddess spoke again: "Leader of the devil's people, if you surrender now, the gods will definitely forgive your sins and give you a way to live. Otherwise, the people of the gods will cut off your head and keep you forever.
You must not be reincarnated."
Lin Ze counterattacked unceremoniously: "Daughter of the God of Nanzhao, as long as you chop off the heads of the few Buddhists around you and make the entire Nanzhao clan surrender, I, Da Qin, will definitely treat you as Da Qin's subjects.
, teach carefully, if you don’t surrender and continue to mix with the Buddhist sect, the entire Nanzhao clan will be destroyed in the future.”
Lin Ze's words immediately touched the Nanzhao Goddess's backside. She saw the Nanzhao Goddess said bitterly: "Leader of the devil's people, I will definitely chop off your head. Just wait for me."
Then someone carried her away, preparing to attack the Sirius Army camp.
