Chapter 432 Restraint
Yu Zheng had expected that Nan Yan would launch an attack in the near future, and the generals in the army were always ready. Once they received the news, they quickly assembled the troops. After
Yu Zheng arrived, he gave an order, and the generals quickly went to the city gate.
"Wu hum--" The majestic sound of the horn reached everyone's ears, exciting and nervous.
The generals quickened their pace, arrived quickly and went out of the city to fight, trying to keep the battlefield as far away as possible to prevent Nan Yan's army from getting close to the city gate.
As expected, Nan Yan sent out the venomous snakes.
Xiao Lin looked up at the sun in the sky and smiled proudly.
Some time ago, the venomous snakes could not be used because of the cold weather, and Da Zhao took the opportunity to attack. The continuous setbacks made the generals depressed. After enduring for so many days, today I must teach Dazhao a painful lesson and avenge my past shame.
Xiao Lin was full of confidence, standing on the high platform to observe the battle situation.
Looking at the venomous snakes that were swimming swiftly and densely like a black river, although the general of Dazhao was terrified, he still held his weapon tightly and went forward without retreating.
Yu Zheng handed the gourd to a general and asked him to lead people to light it and throw it at the group of venomous snakes.
"Swish--" After the pill burned, thick gray smoke came out and quickly dissipated.
The venomous snakes were unmoved and continued to move forward, and soon arrived in front of the general of Dazhao.
The armored army blocked the front, but they could only stop the tiger, and could not stop the flexible and small venomous snakes.
"Poisonous snakes are coming, be careful!" The soldiers' scalps tightened, and they were fully alert to deal with it.
"Light some more and throw them into the crowd." The general ordered.
"Swish--" The soldiers lit the pills and threw them on the ground.
As the pills were lit one by one and fell to the ground, a large cloud of smoke quickly rose from the ground, surrounding all the people
and poisonous snakes. The magical thing is that the poisonous smoke only lingered one foot above the ground, just reaching the knees of people, just covering the poisonous snakes and not affecting people's combat.
But there is also a disadvantage. The dense smoke obscured the line of sight under the feet. The soldiers could not see the poisonous snakes wandering on the ground, and could only kill the ones that were flying.
"Ah! Ah!" Because they couldn't see the ground clearly, people were bitten in the legs one after another.
"Retreat, retreat!" The general ordered urgently.
The smoke blocked their vision and made it impossible to fight. The generals of Dazhao were forced to retreat.
After leaving the smoke range, their vision finally became clear.
Looking at the venomous snakes that were chasing them relentlessly, the generals were a little overwhelmed.
"Why is the poisonous smoke useless?"
The strength of the Nanyan venomous snakes is that they have low lethality but extremely strong frightening power. The morale of the troops was in chaos, and they had already lost half the battle before the battle.
"This is not a magic smoke. It will take some time for the medicine to take effect. Wait a little longer." The generals tried their best to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Xiao Lin and the generals on his left and right, who were watching the battle from a distance, saw a low smoke spreading over the battlefield, and their heads were covered with mist.
"What is Dazhao doing?" the right general was puzzled.
The left general stared closely and said, "The smoke must be used to restrain poisonous snakes."
The right general heard this and said, "Humph, our poisonous snakes are all fed with poisons and drugs. It's ridiculous
to think that smoke can restrain them." Xiao Lin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Yu Zheng on the opposite high ground. He always felt that the smoke was unusual and should not be underestimated.
After several encounters and several losses, Xiao Lin did not dare to be careless and underestimate the enemy.
The beast army is Nan Yan's greatest reliance and must not be restrained.
"Kill!" With the poisonous snakes leading the way, Nan Yan's morale was boosted, and he shouted and attacked the generals of Dazhao.
The general of Dazhao was busy dodging and killing poisonous snakes while dealing with the attack of Nanyan Army.
A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed...
A soldier was trying his best to fight the enemy, and he caught a glimpse of a poisonous snake attacking him from the corner of his eye, and he was terrified. It's
over, he's going to be bitten.
At this distance, with the swift speed of the poisonous snake, it is impossible to avoid it.
The soldier was full of despair and prepared to be bitten. But even if he was bitten, he would try his best to kill the enemy in front of him, and his death would not be in vain.
With this thought in mind, the soldier no longer cared about the poisonous snake and concentrated on fighting the enemy.
The poisonous snake arched its body and gathered strength to attack, but suddenly stopped halfway.
At this moment, the soldiers nearby were quick-witted and seized the opportunity to kill it with one sword.
The rescued soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look, the poisonous snake has slowed down!" someone shouted.
The fighting generals forced the enemy back and killed him, and looked at the poisonous snake.
The snake, which was as fast as an arrow, slowed down by half. At this speed, the generals have a high probability of avoiding the attack and killing the snake.
"The poisonous smoke is effective!" The face of the general of Dazhao suddenly brightened, and he shouted excitedly.
"What are you waiting for, kill it!" The general raised his sword and shouted, and rushed to the front.
The soldiers were greatly encouraged, and they shouted and rushed towards the Nanyan army.
"What happened? What happened to our snakes?" The Nanyan army was a little confused and panicked.
"The smoke is poisonous, our snakes must have been poisoned." Someone guessed.
Previously, they were wondering why Dazhao released smoke for no reason, but now they finally understood.
"Go and report to the prince!" The general gave orders while fighting.
The soldiers were ordered to ride back to the rear as quickly as possible and report to Xiao Lin.
"Prince, Dazhao's poisonous smoke slowed down the snakes and lost their ability to fight."
"What!" Xiao Lin was shocked, and the generals on his left and right also changed color.
They were far away and could not see the specific situation, but they knew that Dazhao suddenly launched a counterattack.
At this time, they were shocked to hear that the poisonous smoke set off by Dazhao actually restrained the poisonous snakes.
"The snakes have slowed down, and it's hard for them to bite the people of Dazhao anymore. Instead, they are easily killed and can't fight anymore." The soldiers looked anxious.
Xiao Lin looked at the battlefield and Yu Zheng on the high ground, his fists creaking, and he gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Pull the snakes back!" The
snake master received the order and hurriedly changed the tone of his flute.
Unlike other animals, snakes have poor hearing and can only rely on the surface of their jaws to receive external sound vibrations, so the snake master plays a special low-pitched whistle.
The venomous snakes that received the retreat order gave up the attack and began to retreat.
"The venomous snakes have escaped!" Dazhao General Tu was overjoyed and chased after them with his sword.
They had fought many times, and they were always chased by the snakes. This was the first time they saw the snakes being chased by them.
"Stop the Dazhao people and protect our snakes!" General Nanyan saw Dazhao General Tu chasing and killing the snakes, and gave an anxious order.
Although the venomous snakes slowed down, they were not slow either. They quickly withdrew from the battlefield, leaving only the two armies to continue fighting.
"My lord, the snakes have retreated. What should we do next?" The snake master asked.
Xiao Lin looked at the battlefield, which was clear and smoke-filled, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Change them."
Compared with tigers, poisonous snakes are easier to breed and raise, so Nanyan has tamed a lot of them. In the previous battles, only a small number of them were released. In addition to the ones they brought, there are still many in the capital of Nanyan.
In order to raise poisonous snakes and tigers, Nanyan has fenced off several mountains and spent a lot of money.
"Yes." The snake master received the order and used a new batch of poisonous snakes to fight.
"Poisonous snakes, poisonous snakes are coming again!" The generals of Dazhao were shocked.
"Quick, light the cigarette." The generals hurriedly ordered.
The soldiers took the gourd and poured it out, and said hopelessly, "No more."
What should we do!
We can only fight hard.
Looking at the venomous snake that was slithering through the Nanyan army, General Dazhao tightened his grip on the knife.
"Goose, goose—" At this moment, a goose cried behind him.
