Chapter 103 Insect Gu

To a certain extent, Zuo Ci and Zi Xu are the same kind of people, who are just as ruthless. They only have practice in their hearts or the path they stick to, and do not care about things other than practice, such as the lives of those animals. They have even forgotten that they are also creatures and are part of nature.

The flames kept rising at a low altitude. Every time Zuo Ci blew up, dozens or even hundreds of birds killed themselves and fell into the fields on the ground. Then, the yellowed seedlings in the fields also burned and continued to spread with the wind. Huo Hai could not even stop Zuo Ci from dealing with these birds controlled by the talisman array, because either these birds died or they died.

Therefore, he could only lead his subordinates to fight forward desperately, so that they would not be hit by the burning firebirds and burned to death by the burning seedlings.

On the walls of Yecheng dozens of miles away, Zi Xu, who could see the firelight outside in the distance, said with a smile on his face, "They were trapped."

Guan Lu nodded and said, "Yes! Wu Kui's insects are the most afraid of these birds and beasts. If Zuo Ci killed all the birds and beasts within a radius of 300 miles, they would not be able to launch the bird formation to break Wu Kui's insects. When they found that the food they had snatched back was eaten up by the insects overnight, do you think they could still carry it?"

Li Yi said at this time, "Even if this is the case, we will only break through Zhang Bao's camp, and we may not be able to kill that person. And don't forget that Zhang Bao's own Taoism is not low, and there is Yu Ji around him, and Wu Kui's insect Gu may not be able to work."

"Yu Ji? He should be the weakest among the monks who have obtained the Three Books in the past dynasties! With the medicine, health care and alchemy he has learned, I am afraid that he will not be able to crack Wu Kui's insect Gu." Zi Xu said with a different opinion.

Although Li Yi thought so in his heart, the hexagram in his hand had not changed at all. The Yellow Turban Army would indeed be defeated, but it was not defeated in front of him. This has never changed after September. In other words, they could last for at least more than a month, and I am afraid that there would be no one in the Yellow Turban Camp who could break Wu Kui's insect Gu.

Of course his guess was correct, because he didn't know that the belated young Ge Xuan was also in the Yellow Turban camp at this time, holding a bowl of porridge that had been distributed from the military camp's kitchen this morning, and Ge Xuan narrowed his eyes.

In fact, he didn't know much about the knowledge of the insects, but he had a very high attainment in alchemy and weapon refining. Moreover, when he was refining alchemy and weapon refining, he had a habit of savoring its taste, observing its color, and practicing his taste, smell, and vision to the extreme. When he first drank the Jimi porridge, he felt something was wrong. Then, he poured the whole bowl of porridge into a handkerchief and filtered it, carefully observed its ingredients, and finally rushed to the granary to check the situation.

"It's the rice insect." Zhang Bao squinted his eyes and looked at the little insects that were constantly wriggling in the barn.

If ordinary people cannot see these small insects with their naked eyes, and even though these insects are as small as dust particles, they cannot eat much food at all, once they are combined with male insects, it will be different. Overnight, a female insect can produce hundreds or thousands of eggs, and it will become an adult in one hour. When there is no shortage of food, male insects will quickly grow to more than ten times the size of female insects, while female insects maintain a speed of reproduction for two hours.

Moreover, all new insects have a very high appetite. They can eat food that is more than ten times larger than their body in one night, and then they continue to combine during the process of eating to carry out the next round of reproduction. Even if there are only a few dozen small insects as the base, after several rounds of reproduction in a day, they can become millions. What's more, there are already tens of thousands of female insects in the granary.

"These insects should be all female insects, otherwise, the grain in the granary would have been no more than ten years old." Yu Ji grabbed a small insect and looked carefully and said.

"These people are really cruel. They would rather eat all our food for the insects than leave it behind." Zhang Bao said hatefully.

The harm of rice insects itself is not great, and their reproduction ability is also very weak. But once they are refined into Gu, it is a large pest with great destructive power and even able to destroy the world. They are not people with extremely vicious hearts, but they will not refine this insect insect. After all, not everyone is sure to control the reproduction of this insect insect.

"This situation where only female insects are placed but not male insects should be because someone wants to use the perception of insects to distinguish the direction. I guess it was Yuan Fang who set up a maze for the other party. They want to use this method to find our position and get out of the maze." Yu Ji guessed.

"What can we solve this problem now?" Ge Xuan asked Zhang Bao and Yu Ji.

"Rice insects are actually edible. We either cook all the grains now and eat them, or we should prevent the male insects from entering the granary. The first method will make our grains unsustainable, and the second method may allow them to find our place and get out of the maze." Zhang Bao thought for a while and said to everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, as if neither of these choices were very good.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Yu Ji suddenly had a plan, "Transport this grain to the direction of Handan City and set up a special insect-proof warehouse to hoard it, which may be a role of misleading their march. There, we can use baking to gradually clear out the rice insects in the grain and transport them to the Daying to help the needs of the Daying."

Zhang Bao nodded and said, "This is a solution. However, the Han army is right across from our camp. Once we transport the food out, they will send cavalry to intercept it. I am afraid that the offensive and defensive battle around the food will start, and we will have to pay a lot of brothers."

The more he talked about it, Zhang Bao's brows became tighter, because the number of cavalry under his jurisdiction was very limited, and the Han army not only had two or three thousand cavalry, but also several cavalry generals with martial arts skills above him. Once there were no fortifications outside the camp, they would have almost only to be tortured. If the food was transported with tens of thousands of people, the cost would be too high.

Even if they use military troops and take risks, they cannot do it, because there are some monks who are good at divination in Yuan Shao who have predicted their actions.

"It is inevitable to sacrifice, as long as you can win the final victory." Yu Ji said in a heavy tone.

As a practitioner, he also believes that the Tao in his heart is more important than everything. In his psychology, the victory or defeat of the Yellow Turban Army is not important, but what is important is Huo Hai's plan to change the sky.

"In this way, I activated the blood and qi genitals to transfer the food to the new camp first." Zhang Bao gritted his teeth and said.

Blood and Qi and Powerful Warriors are a group of young and strong men specially selected by Zhang Bao for the fight against the tough times. They have given a secret method to improve blood and energy. Soldiers who use the secret method will not lose their minds like the Yellow Turban Strong Warriors and become fearless, but can increase their own strength by about 50% within a certain period of time.

However, after the activation, these people will become exhausted and even move hard. Moreover, this state will last for a whole day. Once the other party has survived the first hour and waited for them to become weak before killing them, it will be as simple as slaughtering a chicken and a dog.

Since these people have been a young and strong man who have been trained a lot, after their strength has been improved, they are already comparable to those of the trainers who are about to cultivate internal strength. Thousands of such warriors, let alone ordinary military formations, may not be able to rush to the formation alone, because their attack power can already hurt the masters of the peak internal strength.

This is almost the last trump card in Zhang Bao's hand. Sending this elite soldier before the final battle was even more difficult.

Yu Ji knew that he was struggling inside, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "One day, they will know that today's sacrifice is worth it."

Soon, the Yellow Turban Army camp moved. After gathering all the carriages, horses, carriages and livestock, they loaded up the food that had already been infiltrated by the insects, and began to head towards Handan City to the west.

What they didn't expect was that as soon as the team set out, an quarrel broke out in the Han army camp opposite. Yuan Shao, Han Fu, and Cao Cao had three different opinions.

The monks under Yuan Shao gave him divination results in danger.

The two hexagrams of evil and danger have two different meanings. Fear means that the failure has already arisen, while danger means that the failure is very likely to be failure, but there are also almost a chance of victory.

Therefore, Yuan Shao, who was unsure, was unwilling to go to war. It was not worth it to take risks for the court with his own family.

But he was happy to see other people taking risks, nor did he want to see Zhang Bao doing whatever he wanted under his nose, so he hoped that Han Fu and Cao Cao's troops would fight.

On Han Fu's side, it was because of Pan Feng, Zhang He and others' requests to fight, and they had a clear position that they wanted to fight, but he had few soldiers and could not fight alone.

However, the suspicious Cao Cao did not agree with him to fight. He was unwilling to send out one soldier with the most soldiers. He decided that this was the plan of the Yellow Turban thieves, lured them to divide their troops to attack, and then destroyed his own camp, and even sneaked into Huangfu Song's army. Although he did not know the result of Zhou Ling and others' divination.

Then, there was a situation where Yuan Shao, who supported Han Fu to fight and Cao Cao, who did not support Han Fu to fight, was unwilling to send troops to help him, but because of the few soldiers, Han Fu could not fight alone. This gave the Yellow Turban Army a lot of time to march.

In the end, the three decided to send scouts to investigate what the Yellow Turban Army was doing. The results they got made them very puzzled.

The Yellow Turban Army actually divided 30,000 troops and brought food to the direction of Handan City. Could it be that the attack of the three of them did not put pressure on the Yellow Turban Army at all, and they were trying to attack Handan City and open another battlefield?

In order to avoid Huangfu Song's accusing them of their poor attack, they organized a large army in the afternoon of that day, attacking Zhang Bao's camp and testing the truth. As a result, both sides naturally suffered heavy losses.

Because the Yellow Turban Army's reinforcement of the camp in the past month has offset the Han army's advantages in equipment and soldiers' quality, while Cao Cao and his team can only send a team of 3,000 to 5,000 people to attack the camp, and the ones facing them are often more than ten times more defenders.

After all, even if there are 30,000 people in Zhang Bao camp, there are still more than 100,000 people. They can be divided into two shifts and continue to resist the attack of the Han army with a number of more than ten times and a strong defensive advantage.

The only thing that gave Zhang Bao a headache was that the Han generals were prone to rush in and killing people. However, there were dozens of small bed crossbows in the camp, especially after Ge Xuan designed the talisman crossbow, they did not dare to be too arrogant.

No matter how strong your martial arts are, you can't resist the concentrated shooting of the crossbow. No matter how thick your armor is, the arrows blessed by the talisman power may penetrate you.

Therefore, as long as their crossbow is aimed at anyone, they must retreat quickly. Every time three or four powerful generals rush together, there are only one or two people who can really break in and kill the enemy, and they will have to retreat after not long after they can kill.

This offensive and defensive rhythm makes the war seem very stalemate.

I won’t mention the matter here. After being attacked by the bird formation, Huo Hai’s troops, who had been running 50 miles, also encountered some new problems.

How to block the Han army heading towards Guangzong?

Because Sun Jian was the vanguard, Huo Hai was extremely passive in this blocking battle, because he did not dare to contact the Han army at all, so he could only choose some unconventional methods. After Huo Hai's mobile phone did not have the power, he had no ability to draw talismans at all. Zuo Ci, who was careful in alchemy and Qimen Dunjia techniques, was not good at drawing attack talismans, especially the top talismans that attacked large targets such as 20,000 troops.
