Chapter 786 The high city walls have risen
The Khan of the Jun tribe should have been the first to discover that the army in northern Hubei did not go out to look for water, but he only thought that the drought had not affected northern Hubei and did not know the specific situation in northern Hubei.
"Indeed." Ferba nodded thoughtfully. "From this perspective, it's not a bad idea for us to cooperate with the Emperor of the Great Jin to attack northern Hubei. In the end, we may gain more than we expected."
If there were water in northern Hubei, the Jun people would not have to live such a hard life.
The Khan of the Jun tribe was still cautious, "What if we still can't occupy Ebei City even if we cooperate?"
As the king of a clan, he must consider a way out for his clan members.
Upon hearing this, Ferba's face darkened. "Then leave the Dark Holy Water in northern Hubei, and our entire clan will move west."
"Dark Holy Water" Even the Khan of the Jun tribe couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this word.
This thing was created by Ferba and a group of priests. Just one drop is enough to make dozens of acres of land unable to grow any crops.
If someone asks, with such a powerful thing, why didn't the Jun tribe use it to fight for territory with Dajin?
The answer is that this thing will continue to spread, and even the fertile fields nearby will be "infected" by a rain, which is comparable to modern nuclear pollution.
But if there really comes a day when the Jun people are desperate, they don't mind dragging others to hell with them.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the amount of dark holy water was very small, and it only filled one water bag in total - a specially made water bag, probably weighing only a little over one pound, and it has never been made since then.
The Khan of the Jun tribe lowered his head and pondered the possibility of this matter.
If the dark holy water was really used, the entire northern Hubei would definitely be destroyed. Even most of the areas outside the Great Wall bordering northern Hubei, as well as the area within a hundred miles south of Lanjiang, the impact might be even wider.
But the Jun tribe knew about this thing and could definitely avoid its harm. If that didn't work, they would just keep moving westward until they were no longer affected by the dark holy water.
After figuring this out, the Khan of the Jun tribe felt more confident about attacking northern Hubei. "Pass the order down and make preparations. As long as the Emperor of the Great Jin is alright, we will take northern Hubei as soon as possible!"
Time has entered June, and in a blink of an eye it is the end of the month. The scorching sun seems to be tireless, hanging brightly in the sky, and still making people unbearable the heat.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of water in northern Hubei, especially after the widening task of all rivers originating from Chengjin Mountain was completed three days ago, and the connection area was also expanded this time, covering the entire Ezhou in this large water network.
The high temperature weather has lasted for three months, and most people have become accustomed to such temperatures. In addition, there is water to drink, use and irrigate, so production and life in the entire Ezhou are gradually recovering.
What makes all the people of Ezhou talk about it with great relish is that all the places in Ezhou that border the outside world have high city walls built. In other places without city walls, there is a sentry post every ten miles, and the sentry post has a watchtower at least fifteen meters high.
"That way, we won't have to worry about a sneak attack!"
"Yes, whether it's from outside the Great Wall or Lanjiang, don't even think about launching a sneak attack from now on!"
"We are not afraid of sneak attacks. Look at how our Hubei Northern Army is getting more and more motivated now. It is said that the power of gunpowder weapons can be even greater. Look at those captives who are now obedient and no one dares to jump around anymore."
