Turbulent Times Chapter 21: Thousand people poison
"Huo Chang, someone from the Ge Dao Department has come over and ordered us to participate in the defense of the city tomorrow." Zhou Hu said worriedly.
Wang Junlin frowned and pondered for a while, a trace of coldness and viciousness flashed in his eyes, and said: "We have to do something to help the governor break the city within three days, otherwise I will not only make great achievements in saving the governor Dugu There is no chance to enjoy it, and there is no doubt that it will die."
Everyone was refreshed, Zhou Hu said: "Fight it, please show me, I will wait for death."
Others also followed suit: "Please show me, Chief Huo, I will wait until death."
Wang Junlin said: "Jiang Mulang, Su Changqing, you two take the gold, silver and jewels we brought, and go to bribe the person in charge of the division of tasks in the sword department, and ask him to assign us to cook and deliver meals tomorrow." .”
Zhou Hu's heart was shocked, he remembered the snake venom he had collected, and said, "Huo Chang wants to poison you."
Wang Junlin said: "That's right, but it's not bad if the snake venom can kill four or five hundred people. This is far from our goal, so we need more poisonous poison."
During the war, as long as it can kill the enemy, they will do everything they can, so everyone didn't feel that Wang Junlin was vicious. On the contrary, as Wang Junlin said, everyone was worried that there was not enough poison, not enough poison.
"You don't need to worry about the poison, I have my own way. In addition, don't disclose the use of poison to Chief Dugu and his maid, Sword Slave."
Everyone looked at each other and bowed to agree, but they couldn't figure out what Wang Junlin could do.
"Li Xiang, take all the medicinal materials and snake venom I asked you to purchase in Gangu County to the kitchen. I want to cook a good meal for the people in the Ge Dao Department and the Turkic people. The others will start according to the division of labor I just made. Separate implementation."
After Wang Junlin gave the order, he went to prepare by himself, and the others also started to get busy.
Wang Junlin actually has the nickname of Poison Soldier King in later generations, not for anything else, but because he is good at using poison. Moreover, compared to the more primitive methods of using poison in this era, Wang Junlin's method of compounding poison was based entirely on the principle of individual chemical formulas.
Based on the wooden barrels that ordinary people use to hold water, a barrel of poison can poison tens of thousands of people to death. This kind of poison is estimated to be concocted by no one in this era. But if there are sufficient materials and a complete laboratory in later generations, Wang Junlin will be able to prepare it. In fact, he had done this before, poisoning nearly ten thousand illegal militants in an African country and earning one billion dollars for his mercenary group. It was also that task that established his position as the third in command of the mercenary regiment.
Nowadays there are no laboratories and various advanced tools, but because of the sufficient preparations before, the materials are fairly complete, especially the venom of more than a hundred poisonous snakes was lucky enough to collect on the road. Although Wang Junlin couldn't prepare a bucket of poison that could poison nearly ten thousand people to death, it was still possible to make a bucket of poison that could kill tens of thousands of people.
…
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
Leaving aside how Wang Junlin prepared the poison, the offensive and defensive battle surrounding Longxi City never stopped.
The big flag kept waving, the beacon smoke was like a cloud, the golden drum was beating, and the killing sound was like a tide.
A series of ladders risked their lives to build up the city wall. People gathered like ants and arrows flowed like rain. There were swords, swords and shadows everywhere on the top of the city. There were shrill screams and arrows, quickly taking the lives of the soldiers at the head of the city and those under the city.
From time to time, someone rushed up the city wall, but was desperately suppressed by the defenders, and the people behind stepped on the corpses of their comrades and rushed up without hesitation; Countless soldiers were smashed to pieces; sometimes someone was covered in flames, waving his hands and fell down the city in despair, sometimes someone was pierced into leather armor by a crossbow, and before the spear in his hand was pulled out from the body of the soldier who climbed the wall, he screamed It flew upside down for more than four feet.
Everyone is playing the role of the **** of death who takes life and death, and is also playing the life of being harvested. But they didn't hesitate for a moment. As fighters, their lives are for the glory of this moment.
The battle continued non-stop. At noon, Yu Juluo was still standing motionless in the middle army watching the enemy. His face remained expressionless. He had fought all his life. Many, he understands the reason why kindness does not command soldiers. When it is necessary to sacrifice a soldier, he will not hesitate in the slightest.
At this time, it was already sunset, and a twilight dyed the city.
"Great Governor, but do you want to continue the night battle?" Ying Yanglang, the commander of the soldiers beside Yu Juluo, came to ask Yu Juluo for instructions.
Yu Juluo watched the battlefield silently for a long time. Although he was anxious to break through Longxi City and rescue Jincheng County, he also knew that it was not suitable to continue the attack at this time. After a day of siege, he naturally knew that all the soldiers defending the city were soldiers from the Ge Dao Department, but these soldiers from the Ge Dao Department, who were not famous for their combat prowess, showed a chilling resilience.
"What kind of thing is it that makes these soldiers of the Ge Dao Department work so hard and can always maintain high morale? Is it because of the Podo King?" When I was in the old lair of the Ministry, I found out the news.
Thinking in this way, Yu Juluo ordered: "Retreat."
Yu Juluo gave an order, the horn sounded, the soldiers of the Sui army retreated like a tide, the noisy fighting stopped, and the battlefield suddenly became surprisingly quiet, and many exhausted soldiers found themselves Even the last bit of energy was exhausted, they staggered back to the camp, and fell to the ground, not bothering to move anymore, but after eating a hot meal and resting for two or three hours , they can become lively again.
There are **** corpses everywhere on the city wall. Some broken corpses are still hanging upside down on the city wall, or half-hanging on the stepping arrows. The damaged ladders, crash cars, and trench bridges are still burning Smoking, announcing to people the tragic battle that just happened here.
Outside the city, the Sui army began to re-arrange the camp defenses, and the smoke from cooking cooking everywhere in the camp was rising at this time. This is the life of the army in this era...
…
In Longxi City, Liu House.
Two hours later, Wang Junlin walked out of the kitchen carrying a bucket of steaming black-green liquid. By this time, Su Changqing and Jiang Mulang had also returned, and they used three hundred taels of gold to bribe the head of the sword department. The purpose is to steal a day's laziness from twenty or so people. This task is not difficult to complete.
"Huo Chang, the elder of the Ge Dao Department is notoriously greedy for money, and he is also treacherous and cunning. He is one of the few Qiang people in the Ge Dao Department who do not believe in Nestorianism. It’s just that I didn’t see it. Today when Humble Officer bribed him, he also hinted that if we don’t want to do something, we can just give him an extra ten taels of silver. Therefore, Humble Officer gave him an extra one hundred taels of silver, that is to say, we There will be ten people staying here tomorrow." Su Changqing said.
Wang Junlin nodded, and said to Su Changqing and Jiang Mulang: "You two have done a good job on this matter. I will record everyone's credit and report it truthfully when I go back."
Su Changqing and Jiang Mulang looked delighted, bowed and said in unison: "Thank you Huo Zhang."
Wang Junlin said: "How about taking a look at the poison I prepared myself?"
Everyone had been dying of curiosity for a long time, but because Wang Junlin hadn't spoken yet, at this moment, there was a huff, and they gathered around to look at it.
This is a barrel of blue-green liquid that doesn't smell bad, and looks beautiful, and is still slightly steaming.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of the crowd, Wang Junlin knew that they doubted the effect of the poison, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry! I've tried this poison before, and a cup of it knocked down more than a hundred people."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. Over the past few days, Wang Junlin's various strange skills and strong abilities have gradually convinced them, especially the successful infiltration into Longxi City, and the fact that he rescued Dugu Chief without any damage. They can't help but admire. Therefore, when Wang Junlin said that this bucket of poison could bring down tens of thousands of people, they did not doubt it at all.
"Who hasn't learned the few common Qiang words that Jiang Muling taught everyone these days?"
Zhou Hu and the other three juniors expressed embarrassment on their faces, saying that learning "a foreign language" is really too difficult.
Wang Junlin didn't reprimand them either, and said, "Then you stay here tomorrow to protect Chief Dugu."
The four of them looked regretful, secretly hating themselves for being too stupid for missing the opportunity to do such a shocking event.
"Okay, now everyone empty out the water in their water sacs and fill half of the water sacs with poison. Then tomorrow, when cooking or delivering food to the enemy defending the city, find an opportunity to inject poison. Note You can put more in the porridge and soup." Wang Junlin finally said.
Everyone drank the clear water in the water bag in one gulp, and then carefully filled the water bag with half a bag of poison with a ladle.
"Remember, don't get drowsy after sleeping at night, drink it yourself as water. I don't have the time and materials to prepare an antidote for this poison." Wang Junlin finally emphasized.
Everyone laughed and went back to rest, waiting for tomorrow to do this big event. If the poison is really as powerful as Wang Junlin said, and tomorrow's plan is successfully completed, it means that a dozen of them may have won a city, and the city will be broken at this time tomorrow, which is really meaningful. If it is too serious, its contribution is no less than beheading tens of thousands of people or breaking down a county.
Everyone is smart, and everyone is so excited that they can hardly sleep.
After everyone poured the poison, there was still a water bag and a half left. Wang Junlin personally gave half of the water bag poison to Wu San and Wu Si who were hiding in another house. These poisons were sprinkled in the feed that the Turkic war horses ate.
