Chapter 153 Qin Emperor Burns Books, Celestial Masters Destroy Temples!Clean up the battlefield, and come back after all the money is gone!

Feng Lebin led the team to attack, a total of [-] Qingzhou soldiers swept across the field, and killed most of the poisonous snakes very quickly, among which there were about [-] fine snakes.

Done.

Many soldiers hurriedly began to clean the battlefield and count the harvest, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a little.

Jiang Chen stood with a knife in his hand, lost in thought.

Although the two fights lasted only a few tens of breaths, they were extremely dangerous!
The previous battle was not too difficult, the Tanlang Lingsha changed a lot, and it scared the horses into terror, only two swords.

But the last one...

Thinking about it now, I still feel a little scared.

If Jiang Chen was "path dependent" and continued to use the legion martial arts, he would most likely end up being poisoned to death.

Even if he survived by luck, it is still unknown how much a thousand brothers can live behind him.

But after thinking about it carefully, Jiang Chen still couldn't figure it out. How did the three mere scholar-level monsters acquire the peculiar ability of "immorality immunity"?

Moreover.

Why do those ordinary poisonous snakes have the ability to deliver venom?

There must be something strange about this!

If you haven't thought about these two issues clearly, it is better to enter the Snake Cave Illusion later to be more stable.

Jiang Chen thought about it for a while, and stretched out his hand to grab Feng Lebin who was passing by. He guessed that after all, he was a child of a big family and should know more, so he asked Abin for answers to his questions.

however--

Feng Lebin blushed:
"I do not know."

Excellent answer.

This guy's private school grades are really not ideal... Jiang Chen sighed, and was about to give up.

However, Fan Liangshan walked over quickly, with a flattering expression on his face, and said sincerely: "Master Jiang Wubai, I may be able to answer one of these two questions for you at the end."

"Details."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

In the past, in front of Fan Liangshan, he was just a vain general who didn't even have an official status, so he was coveted.

But the situation is changing and the world is impermanent.

He has become the "Jiang Wubai Lord" with a higher status, but he has to call himself "the last general" with a humble attitude.

Fan Liangshan said respectfully:

"Do you know the origin of legion martial arts?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, knowing nothing about it.

Fan Liangshan pondered for a few seconds, and then began to describe in detail:

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, all monsters have been wiped out, but another powerful existence has gradually risen during the long civil war."

"That's God Mao."

"Some people also call them yin gods, evil gods, ghost gods, and demon gods."

"They can extract the flesh, life and soul of believers, and transform them into an extremely powerful spell, which can be bestowed on temple blessings and priests."

"In the old days, Emperor Qin burned books and tortured scholars, and it was these ghosts and gods who burned them. In the later Han Dynasty, Zhang Tianshi destroyed mountains and destroyed temples, and it was these blood-eating ghosts and gods that destroyed them."

"Since then, there will be no ghosts and gods in the land of Kyushu."

"However, there are also some divine arts that have been modified and gradually retained. This is the prototype of the legion martial arts. It draws the blood of soldiers to stimulate various powerful powers, and there are no side effects."

"Those colorful giant pythons, if they absorbed the venom of poisonous snakes and captivated thousands of Qingzhou troops, as you said, they must be the Maoshen magic technique that has disappeared for many years."

Suddenly, Jiang Chen realized something, and asked the previous question again.

but--

Fan Liangshan's face turned bitter:
"The last general is just a mere hundred general. It is a fluke to know this. If you want to get an answer, you might as well wait until after the war and ask the old village chief."

at this time,

A soldier from Qingzhou tried to cut the corpse of the colorful giant python, the scales were tough, he only cut a few times, then rolled the blade, he hurriedly called Fan Baijiang, hoping to borrow the next sharp weapon to use.

"Go."

Jiang Chen waved his hand.

After Fan Liangshan said his goodbyes, he immediately swung his weapon and cut open the body of the colorful python, harvesting three dark red snake galls as big as faces.

This is the snake-like creature, the thing where the aura gathers after death, and it is also the material needed for the Zhongzhou military soldier-Habayashi Army to be promoted to the rank of soldier.

Great value.

After a little cleaning of the battlefield.

The gains are as follows:

A number of jewels, of unknown value;
430 taels of gold, 900 taels of silver;
5000 pieces of refined snake demon guts, with a total value of about [-] taels;
Three colorful python gallbladders, worth about 200 taels;

There are 24 horse trainer prisoners in total, and it is estimated that they will get 240 meritorious service;
There are nearly a thousand healthy and injured horses, the value of which is incalculable, not less than 6000 taels;

The actual total income has already exceeded the value of the corpse of the ferocious pig and dragon.

In fact.

Dongshi's wealth is far more than this, but in a hurry, without time to search carefully, they only plundered these.

Jiang Chen predicted misfortune and fortune, and sensed that there was another wave of misfortune coming, and ordered:

"Out of town!"

Although many soldiers had doubts, after many rounds of fighting, they had long been convinced of Jiang Chen, obeyed, and drove the horse out of the city without hesitation.

…………

East City.

When the old snake head arrived with a group of elites, the place was already deserted, and he said angrily:

"Damn, actually ran away!"

The colorful little snake spat out a letter and smirked:
"Do you need me to simulate the military order again?"

The old snake shook his head:
"Thinking about it, that young general has already seen through your and my deception, he just pretended to be deceived, went to the city to reap the benefits, and then ran away immediately."

"Let's concentrate on dealing with the trapped Qingzhou army."

"Three descendants of the gods are missing from spewing poisonous mist, and some Qingzhou soldiers have shown signs of awakening."

The colorful little snake grinned grimly:
"It doesn't matter, although the young general has a bit of talent and martial arts, but he doesn't know much about the gods, come out, my son and grandson!"

The voice just fell.

There were two slender colorful snakes slowly crawling out from the huge snake head of the colorful python.

This is the truth about "Momentum Immunity"!

The colorful little snake hides in the thick and dense snake bones, and is immune to most injuries.

of course.

The arrow shot by Jiang Chen, by coincidence, broke the head bone of one of the colorful pythons, causing one of the "descendants of the gods" to die.

Therefore, only two colorful snakes came out.

…………

Outside Xili City.

Many Qingzhou soldiers had just stopped to rest for a while, but they heard Jiang Chen suddenly order:
"Enter through the south gate!"

"what?"

Why are you going in again?

All the soldiers were stunned.

Jiang Chen didn't have much time to explain, so he ordered Feng Lebin to stay with a hundred soldiers from Qingzhou, take care of the prisoners and belongings, get away from Xili City as soon as possible, find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he himself leads the team and quickly goes to The south wall.

Most of the flying beasts in the city either escaped or died in the rain of arrows attacking the city.

This is the handwriting of veteran Wei Anguo. The principle of "know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles" has long been spread among the Kyushu army. As soon as he attacked the city, he focused on destroying many flying beasts.

Although those descendants of the gods and snake tamers possessed powerful abilities to ambush, kill and release poison, at this moment, they were like a group of savage beasts that had lost their eyes and ears.

If you don't take advantage of this time to fight a wave of mobile warfare, it will be a waste of a godsend opportunity!

of course.

Jiang Chen also issued an additional military order.

Order Fan Liangshan, Xiao Wu and Gongsun Hu to lead the team, select [-] civilian men with good legs, and go into battle lightly.

You must always keep a distance of about [-] zhang from the city wall, first go to the west wall, stay outside the city gate for a while, and then turn to the north wall.

At first, the civilian husbands were a little resistant and did not dare to join the war.

Jiang Chen didn't even have the slightest hesitation, and kicked over the wooden box full of silver, and the white silver was scattered all over the ground.

In a cold voice:
"If you are willing to go, you can receive five taels of silver now. After the matter is completed, if you die, you will receive 50 taels of compensation, and if you come back alive, you will be given another 15 taels of silver."

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!
It didn't take long.

Xiao Wu then recruited thousands of civilian husbands, using a hundred Qingzhou soldiers as the skeleton, wearing the unique iron-inlaid green robes of Qingzhou soldiers, riding a horse, and quickly headed to the west gate.

Although the civilian husband hadn't mastered the skills of riding horses, after Jiang Chen once again performed a too fierce sword gesture, the fine horses trembled with fright, and then obediently guided the horses, which greatly reduced the difficulty of marching.

430 taels of gold and jewels of unknown value were distributed to many Qingzhou soldiers.

"When all the money is gone, come back!"

Jiang Chen doesn't need gold and silver, what he really longs for has always been—military merit!
…………

everything's ready.

"go!"

Jiang Chen took [-] Qingzhou soldiers and rushed to the south gate.

into town.

Quickly kill Nanshi.

In just a few tens of breaths of time, dozens of Xili traders died under the sword.

Jiang Chen plundered more than ten thousand taels of floating wealth, and with a wave of his hand, he gave it all to the soldiers under his command.

in an instant,

Morale soared again!

When many Qingzhou soldiers were gearing up and preparing to fight, Jiang Chen didn't even hesitate, and immediately issued orders:

"set fire!"

"Out of town!"

When the old snake head led the team to arrive, Jiang Chen and many Qingzhou soldiers had already fled, so they could only find out the poor people hiding everywhere and force them to put out the flames.

The colorful little snake was silent for a while, then suddenly said:
"Could it be that the young general still wants to make plans for the West Market and the North Market?"

The old snake head frowned:
"The East City and the South City have been destroyed. Based on what he did just now, he should be going around the city to go to the West City!"

Done.

He appointed a snake trainer with good eyesight to observe the enemy's situation in the arrow tower of the city wall. Not long after, the snake trainer quickly replied:
"There is indeed a team riding a horse, heading for the west gate."

"It must be the horse that was snatched from Dongshi!"

The old snake head was overjoyed.

His favorite fighting mode is to hide in the dark, ambush and release poison, so he immediately led the team, determined to go to the West City to ambush, and with the momentum of thunder, kill Jiang Chen, the annoying "fly".

however.

After waiting for almost a cup of tea, the old snake head never waited until the Qingzhou army entered the city.

The information from the snake trainer in charge of observing the enemy's situation:

"After the team stayed outside the city for a while, they headed north!"

The old snake suddenly realized:
"It turns out that their real target is Beishi!"

Done.

He hurriedly led the team and rushed away.

only--

When the old snake head hurried to Beishi, he heard bad news.

Eight hundred soldiers from Qingzhou broke in from the south gate of the city, rushing to the outskirts of the central street like magic soldiers, killed three colorful pythons, and fled away immediately.

The strength of the colorful poisonous fog has been weakened by one third.

Two or three hundred Qingzhou veterans with strong physique woke up slowly. Although they did not have much combat power, they also stabilized the crumbling defense line.

…………

Lop Nur, West Bank.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and concentrated, his eyes hurt extremely.

If he opened his eyes at this moment, they would be bloodshot and extremely terrifying, as if he had pink eye disease.

his eyes,

and the gold and silver,

This is the necessary price for this campaign.

If he hadn't observed the changes of fortune and misfortune all the time, how could he have the ability to play that old snake head around?
If it weren't for rewarding money like flowing water, how could it arouse civilian husbands and Qingzhou soldiers to do all kinds of dangerous things?

Although it is not as magical as "Crossing Chishui four times", it is also an unconventional strategy of swaying east and west.

First of all.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of snake creatures that like to ambush, the old snake head repeatedly developed the greed for "ambush", and with greed, the strategy can really be used.

Most of the strategies on the battlefield have loopholes. It doesn’t matter whether they are perfect or not, the key is—whether they can arouse the emotions of the enemy generals!
When the emotions are aroused, the strategy is half successful.

Second.

It was the civilian husband who went to the west and north early, while Jiang Chen and other [-] Qingzhou soldiers hid in the south, waiting for the opportunity.

In the end, it was a strategic misjudgment!
Jiang Chen's behavior of plundering the wealth of the two southeast cities one after another caused the old snake head to make a strategic misjudgment, mistakenly thinking that Jiang Chen's purpose might be to plunder wealth.

But in fact.

From the very beginning, Jiang Chen's thoughts have never changed - "enter the snake cave and help the trapped thousands of Qingzhou troops".

Only by killing the colorful giant python with the "Mao Shen Spell" can the Qingzhou Army's plight be truly alleviated!

"There's only so much I can do..."

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and sighed, and took a huge snake gall from Feng Lebin.

This material is cool in nature, bitter and slightly sweet, and has the effects of expelling wind and dampness, cooling and improving eyesight, detoxifying and removing prickly heat, as long as the toxins are removed, it is an excellent medicinal material for improving eyesight.

"It's so unpalatable..."

The bitter gall entered his throat and hurt his heart, Jiang Chen's face was distorted, his lips and tongue were numb, but in order to restore his eyes and pupils as soon as possible, he swallowed.

soon.

Stomach buzzing.

Strands of strange spiritual power flowed upstream, gradually lingering around Jiang Chen's eye acupoints, blending into it, and the fascia gradually eased.

"It's so comfortable..."

Jiang Chen's eyes opened slightly, and he was able to see normally.

The blood streaks on the surface of the eyes were also completely removed, making them clear.

pity.

These high-quality snake gall bladders can only restore eye damage, but cannot increase the upper limit. Jiang Chen couldn't help but think to himself:

"If you hunt and kill a higher-level snake spirit, can you..."

Thinking room.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, and informed the generals of his recovery.

"Congratulations, Boss, on his recovery!"

"It's good that the five hundred masters are safe."

Many soldiers will congratulate repeatedly.

When they heard that Jiang Chen was "blind", they were taken aback, as if they had lost their backbone.

Fortunately, snake gallbladder can improve eyesight, and "Chief Jiang" finally recovered.

It's time to get down to business... After Jiang Chen recuperated a bit, he immediately got up and said:

"Take some arrows, and Limonium berries..."

Feng Lebin and the other hundred generals looked at each other.

Although the resources in their hands were almost exhausted after repeated battles, they still scraped together and squeezed out dozens of Lemongrass Fruits, as well as some other basic materials, and handed them all to Jiang Chen.

"Thank you."

Jiang Chen smiled, put all the things he got into the storage bag, and sensed the special spiritual power that wrapped around the body after the death of the colorful python, and his figure gradually became unreal.

The abode of the snake god,

source of thousands of vipers,
The key node in this battle of Xili,
The area where Wu Tugu, Wei Anguo, Zhang Baisui, Feng Wu and other generals are located - the fantasy land of the Snake Cave!
