Their Lucky Star Was Transmigrated! Chapter 607: Dual use
Western border of Xiangyi Prefecture.
Xu Laosan looked at the swarm of locusts flying in the distant sky, covering the clouds and the sun, and decisively gave the order to set the fire.
The locusts flew from Qiping Mansion. Wherever they passed, there were really no leaves and no grass.
If this locust swarm is allowed to enter the boundary of Xiangyi Prefecture, Xiangyi Prefecture will surely become the second Qiping Prefecture.
Xu Laosan didn't know if his fire attack method would work, but he had to give it a try. What if it happens? This locust plague will not threaten Xiangyi Prefecture in the slightest.
Even if there is a locust plague in the future, the local government can also deal with it in time.
The felled trees and cut crops, although not completely dry, were soon ignited because rapeseed oil and lamp oil were spilled on them.
Then the fire got out of hand.
The swarm of locusts flying from Qiping House was originally falling from the sky. Now the fire is burning, and countless locusts are trying to fly away, but the wind helps the fire, and only a few locusts fly up.
Seeing a small number of locusts flying out of the sea of flames and thick smoke, Mr. Xu ordered again to set the second ten-mile fire area on fire.
The fire was raging, and the heat wave was rolling in, forcing all the locusts into the air again.
This time, however, not a single locust could fly out of the sea of fire.
"Third brother, it's done, it's done!"
Seeing that no more locusts flew out of the sea of fire, Li Gan jumped up excitedly.
Not all of the 100-mile quarantine area is used.
This is undoubtedly good news.
Of course, this is not good news either, after all, within the bounds of this hundred miles, all the crops were cut early.
"It's not over!"
Xu Laosan looked at the billowing flames in front of him, and asked Li Gan to lead the people to continue the ignition.
"Third brother, is this unnecessary?"
Li Ganwang looked at Mr. Xu, "The remaining crops in these places can be cleaned up, dried, and used as fodder for war horses!"
"No, it's all burned!"
Xu Laosan gently shook his head, his attitude was firm, "At Qiping Mansion, Song Dahu brought hundreds of thousands of people to Xiangyi Mansion. They followed behind the locust swarm, with strong walls and clear fields, not only Targeted locusts!"
The isolation belt with a range of 100 miles, from the beginning, Xu Laosan was not just guarding against locusts.
Actually, according to his calculations, if the fire can really destroy the locust swarm, it will not use the isolation belt within a hundred miles. But to defend against the civil rebellion from Qiping Mansion, he needed the isolation belt within a hundred miles.
The Qiping House was hit by a plague of locusts. The people left their homes and did not do production. Wherever they went, the harm caused was a bit worse than the plague of locusts.
"Third brother, then why don't we wait for Song Dahu and the others to come, and give them a fire attack?"
"In this case, we may not need much effort to destroy these chaotic armies!"
"The chaotic army has engulfed many innocent people. If we really set fire to it, the people who will die will be old and weak, women and children. If we do such things, people in this world will be drowned in their saliva. We!"
Xu Laosan didn't know that when the chaotic army arrived, he set fire to it, and the effect was remarkable.
But this method of fire attack is really a bit cruel.
Burn and kill the locusts, Mr. Xu doesn't have any pressure. But the fire attack to deal with people, Xu Laosan really can't bear it.
Li Gan was also silent after hearing the words of Mr. Xu.
In the end, he chose to do as Xu Laosan ordered.
Qiping Mansion is close to the boundary of Xiangyi Mansion, and Song Dahu's men and horses slowly moved forward.
The locusts are in the front, and they are behind. No city can stop the threat of the locusts crossing, allowing them to easily take down the cities.
“Report—”
Just when Song Dahu occupied Xiangyi Mansion, and from then on mastered the dragon's veins and dreamed of becoming king and hegemony, the scout team in charge of the sentry came back quickly.
Then Song Dahu was dumbfounded.
The overwhelming locust swarm has been wiped out!
The officials of Xiangyi Prefecture set a fire, and the fire burned the locusts that ravaged Qiping Prefecture to ashes.
"It's impossible!"
The size of the locusts, covering the clouds and the sun, stretches for dozens of miles, how could it be so easily extinguished by a fire?
Song beat the tiger to death and didn't believe this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, successive waves of scouts brought back the same news, and the scouts were still reporting and the fire was still burning.
Song Dahu immediately took the closest men and horses, threw away the brigade, and went straight to Xiangyi Mansion.
As a result, without him arriving at the scene, he saw the billowing smoke billowing into the sky from far away.
Dense smoke rose into the sky, and from a distance, Song Dahu could feel the heat wave blowing towards him.
"Mad, what a madman!"
"Whose idea was this?"
Song Dahu was going to go crazy, and he saw success in sight, but who would have thought that he would pull his hips just before the door.
"It should be the third child of the Xu family!"
Bai Jin, the dog-headed military sergeant, said slowly, "Marquis Wucheng and Uncle Yong Wu went to Jingbian City. On the side of Xiangyi Mansion, the third son of Marquis Wucheng is in charge!"
“?!”
Song Dahu didn't know what to say.
He actually wanted to ask God, why?
Why are people from the Xu family so good?
A Marquis of Wu Cheng, a valiant uncle, and now a third Xu Lao has emerged.
Song Dahu suddenly wanted to cry.
The fire in front is blocking the road, and I don't know how many days the fire will burn, and on his side, the food can't last for a few days. Originally, he also thought that when he entered the boundary of Xiangyi Mansion, he would be able to replicate what they did in Qiping Mansion, plundering food from the cities and maintaining the basic food supply for the team.
But now, there is a fire in Xiangyi Mansion.
This means that after they enter Xiangyi Mansion, they will not expect to get a grain of food in the short term. As for food in the wild? Don't be ridiculous, just like this fire, only grass and tree ash can be found in the wild.
"You bastard, don't be human!"
Song Dahu is really going to explode.
"Master, what should we do now?"
Song Dahu no longer expects to directly enter Xiangyi Mansion. He must ensure that the people below have food to eat. Without food, why did Song Dahu let the people below follow him?
"Lord, for today's plan, we can only go south and go to Jiannan Mansion!"
"Or, after crossing the Shiwanda Mountain, let's turn to Xiangyi Mansion!"
The so-called 100,000 Mountains are the mountains behind Lingshui Village.
This is a big mountain that stretches for an unknown extent, and there are countless beasts in the mountain. But all the people who live around the mountains know that they must not go deep into the mountains, otherwise, there will be fate in, but not out.
The second method proposed by Bai Jin is actually telling Song Dahu that they can only go south to Jiannan Mansion and go to the site of Jie Yundao to do things.
"What do you think, brothers?"
Song Dahu couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he looked at his four brothers.
"Brother, you make up your mind, no matter what you do, we will listen to you!"
At this time, Song Dahu's four brothers had the same attitude.
After all, this decision is related to their future prospects, and they don't want to speak casually, so as not to take responsibility.
