Chapter 488
"Cover your face with a wet cloth. Ten people are in a group. They are connected by ropes and help each other."
"For exposed skin, apply it with mud to avoid bites, poison and obstacles. Take all the pills."
At the border of Wu and Yue, Lei Baowei, led by Xiang Liang, is making solemn preparations.
Swamp has always been a cold place.
Sludge, trap, rot, stink.
The most dangerous thing is not these, but the ubiquitous biogas.
Biogas is poisonous, plants are not easy to grow and animals are not easy to survive, so it produces a ghost smell and a desolate scene.
Except for the Baiyue people who have lived here for a long time, they have adapted to the environment and almost all have a narrow escape.
Therefore, when Xiang led the great Chu army to destroy Wu and Yue, he always avoided such areas, even if he would go around a long way and attack the city and pool.
But this time, Xiang Liang had only one thousand Pro guards under his command and had to use the beheading tactic. In order to avoid the Wu Yue scouts patrolling the border, they had to detour and go deep, so this swamp became the only way.
Xiang Liang showed the leadership ability of the Xiang family. Orders were issued one by one. Everyone worked together and walked on the dry land at the edge of the swamp.
It seems that the swamp is always autumn. Looking around, there are dead trees everywhere, puddles and mud ponds one after another. The sludge formed by rotten leaves turns into natural traps, and animal feces are mixed with them, giving off a disgusting stench.
There was silence all around. There was no sound. Only the rustle of soldiers stepping on the fallen leaves broke the gloomy solitude.
If it's really psychological pressure, I'm not afraid. The key is that the creatures in the swamp don't welcome these uninvited guests who break into their homes.
The first to set out was a group of snakes. These slender poisonous snakes meandered through the swamp and were attacked by lightning.
However, Lei leopard guard was prepared early. He had a poison avoidance pill in his mouth. Ten people were in a group to guard all directions, and long guns were stabbed frequently.
The hydra is seven inches, fast and accurate. It moves steadily with the cooperation of strong personal combat power and tacit understanding.
As it goes on, there won't be much damage across the swamp.
Unfortunately, when it went deeper, a more terrible enemy appeared——
If you walk well, the trunk next to you will suddenly move and scream. A living person will be bitten in two and half of his body will be gone.
A closer look, where is the trunk, is clearly a crocodile, a huge body thrown, it will swallow the unlucky soldier.
In this era, crocodile is the name in the book of rites. Ordinary people call it Earth Dragon, which shows its power. Not to mention Lei leopard guard's face, Xiang Liang dared not provoke the overlord in the swamp, so he had to flee.
Fortunately, the crocodile had little appetite and ate a few. When he was full, he rolled lazily in the mud pond, climbed to the shore to bask in the sun and did not chase.
What's really terrible is that small lizards, which are not much bigger than poisonous snakes, not only move very fast, they have fins between their toes and move their feet at high speed, but they can't hear the sound. They are like lightness masters walking on the ground in the swamp.
Compared with the snake's meandering and crawling, you can be alert. These guys haunt and haunt. They are undoubtedly more terrible killers. They often jump out of the thunder leopard satellite TV line and bite to their ankles. Once they get caught, it means death.
Not long after, the death and injury were nearly 100. The deputy general found a secret and hurriedly told him: "young general, these animals have been trained by Baiyue people and have the mark of the state of Wu on their back!"
Indeed, there is a mark engraved on the back of the lizard, which is the unique pattern seal of the state of Wu.
"Damn wild people, so mean!"
Xiang Liang scolded in a low voice.
After the restoration of Wu and Yue, the means have changed, which makes people careless. This can be seen from the friction at the previous border. It was never expected that there were "ambushes" even in the swamp.
"No! Even lizards can use it. What about the poison method that Baiyue is good at? If it is surrounded by Baiyue wild people, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Xiang Liang's countenance changed, made a quick decision and shook his long gun: "no, we can't fight in the swamp. Untie the rope and break in!"
"Yes!"
The rope around the waist was cut off. Lei leopard guard took out their greatest strength of running thousands of miles and began to run quickly.
As long as you run fast, the trap can't catch up with me. This is undoubtedly a way to deal with it.
But the reckless past is also destined to cause huge casualties.
Almost every moment, some soldiers stepped into the mire. In order not to affect their colleagues' robes, they did not cry for help, gritted their teeth and sank into the mud without saying a word.
Xiang Liang took the lead. He didn't look back, but his eyes were full of tears and rushed wildly.
Finally, the soft light of the sun came down, and the light and shadow of banbarge reflected on the earth, bringing the breath of life. The swamp is over!
"Out! We're out!"
Xiang Liang wanted to roar up to the sky. Although the Lei leopard guard behind him was seriously killed and injured, at least he didn't fall into the encirclement of the enemy.
However, at this time, the sharp eyed deputy general suddenly pointed to the front: "major general, look, there is a wooden card!"
"Array!"
Xiang Liang was like a great enemy. After the array was completed, he slowly came forward and saw two wooden signboards standing at the exit of the swamp every hundred steps away.
The first board reads, "Wu Yue welcomes you."
The wooden sign at the back reads: "there is no ambush inside. Don't hurry."
They are all written in Chu.
"Oh!"
Xiang Liang's body flashed, his blood was retrograde, and a mouthful of blood almost spewed out.
For a long time, he fought with the air, causing nearly half of his subordinates to be killed and injured?
"These wooden signboards have been erected here for at least more than a month. At that time, Wu and Yue began to prevent us from crossing this swamp?"
"General, this is a woman's handwriting. It can write my Chu characters so standardized that there are not many women in Shouyang city can do!"
There are also resourceful people in the pro guards. They are all arranged by fan Zeng. At this time, they look at the wooden card for clues and look more and more dignified.
A soldier is also crafty. If he is empty, he will be real, and if he is real, he will be empty.
This time, the enemy is actually a soldier who is proficient in military tactics and uses their psychology to subdue others without fighting.
"Can we really kill Yan LINGJI?"
At this moment, Xiang Liang also realized that Xiang Yan was wrong.
The Wu Yue after the restoration of the state is obviously no longer the Wu Yue before.
"Swear to kill the witch! Go!"
But there was no turning back. Now it is undoubtedly impossible to return to the state of Chu. Xiang Liang took a deep breath and continued on the road with the belief of death.
The territory occupied by all ethnic groups in Baiyue is as big as half of the great Chu, bigger than Wei Hanqi, but it is sparsely populated.
The harsh environment made it impossible for the aborigines to leave the villages and cities for a long time. In addition, after the death and injury of Lei leopard guard, there was less movement and danger all the way. A few days later, Gusu city was in the distance.
As the capital of the state of Wu, it used to be a grand city, but Wu was destroyed by Yue and Gusu was destroyed in the war. Later, Yue was also subjugated by Chu. The remnant people, the enemies of two generations, began to hold together and rebuild the capital.
It is not so much a city as a city. At this time, Gusu is more like a huge village. Even the city wall is incomplete. Many places are surrounded by fences and have long lost their brilliance.
If you don't go into the tiger's den, you will get a tiger. Xiang Liang ordered Lei leopard guard to stay behind. With several pro guards, you can easily enter the city.
Xiang Liang was hidden in the roadway. Those Pro guards who were proficient in Wu Yue language dispersed and soon returned to report: "young general, we found yanlingji."
"Oh?"
Xiang Liang Yixi: "is it so smooth?"
The pro guard stopped talking and finally said, "it's actually very simple."
It was really simple. When Xiang Liang and his party came to the street, they saw a long team coming amid the cheers of the people.
First of all, dozens of maidens in pleated skirts hung ornaments on their heads, necks, waist and feet, jingling when walking, warm and generous;
Then there are hundreds of strong bodyguards. Even if there are no more 3000 Vietnamese armor to swallow Wu's prestige, they are also imposing and should not be humiliated;
Yan LINGJI sat on the broad and simple throne, carried on his shoulders by a strong man about 30 feet tall, overlooking the people.
Peerless ghost!
The project is now dignified.
The breath emitted by this giant man is more terrible than Xiang Yan. He is the most difficult guard around Yan LINGJI.
"King! King! King!"
When the team approached, the people of Wu and Yue spontaneously knelt down and made a sound of mountain roaring and tsunami.
"Is this woman's prestige so high? Queen Baiyue, don't expect success..."
Xiang Liang was more alert and looked up.
No better than the concealment of the Central Plains, Yan LINGJI faces the people directly. The face of the country and the city is printed into the eyes, which makes people feel dizzy.
Xiang Liang's heart has long been hard as iron by the battlefield, but her focus is on the clothes she wears. She feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Wait! Isn't this my God of fire?"
He thought hard and suddenly had a flash of light.
Although some minor changes have been made, the clothes worn by Yan LINGJI are very similar to the most important god of fire among the six gods of Chu.
Is it a coincidence that Shouyang may hold a great ceremony to worship gods? Or is there a connection?
He was shocked. A strong arm suddenly leaned out from behind, wrapped around his neck and dragged Xiang Liang into the lane.
