The leader of the Hu people was watching triumphantly as the poisonous bees attacked the city of the Great Jin Dynasty. He believed that Jiagu Pass would be taken back by them in less than half a day.
However, the reversal came too quickly. In just a few breaths, smoke and fire suddenly rose from the city tower of Jiagu Pass, accompanied by a loud cracking sound. The swarms of poisonous bees that blotted out the sky were either burned to death or forced to turn around and flee.
Suddenly, chaos erupted as the poisonous bees flew towards the Hu army as if they had gone mad. Screams filled the air, chilling all who heard them.
Within a quarter of an hour, the Hu army was thrown into chaos, with thousands of soldiers rolling on the ground screaming in agony. Soon, those who had been bitten were stiff and blackened, clearly dead.
"The Hu people's trick was truly vicious and insidious. Fortunately, it backfired on them. It seems that these tens of thousands of troops are going to be wiped out by the poisonous bees." Song Tantan looked terrified and still felt lingering fear. Fortunately, A Xun reacted quickly, and they had all the items in their spatial storage, otherwise they would have been finished today.
"Hmm? The poisonous bees were actually controlled and flew away. It seems those few sorcerers really have some skill." Song Tantan watched coldly and soon smelled something burning.
Ye Moxun reminded him, "Quickly put out the fire, or the city tower will be burned down." That way, the Hu people wouldn't need to attack the city; they could just ride their iron hooves in.
Drawing water from the stream in the space was very strenuous, so Song Tantan didn't dare to be careless. She first put two slices of ginseng in her mouth before starting to draw water to extinguish the fire.
She had just put out the fire and was pale-faced, trying to catch her breath.
The system was yelling again: "Host, be careful! Those Taoist priests are performing rituals again, attracting a large number of bats. These vampire bats have mutated and are not very afraid of fire."
Not afraid of fire? What should we do then?
Ye Moxun searched his memory for knowledge from his past life about the weaknesses of bats. He knew that photographic memory was not just a matter of words, and he quickly came up with a solution.
"With light and fire, I refuse to believe we can't cure these harmful things." Ye Moxun coldly curled his lips.
Having just put out the fire, Song Tantan had to light it again. Feeling a bit weak, she had used up a lot of energy today and was starting to feel dizzy, so she took a few more ginseng slices.
These rice paddies were originally intended for pigsties and horse feed, but after today's fire, there's probably not much left. In addition to using fire to retaliate, she also took out more than a dozen large mining lamps from the supermarket and turned them on to shine on the bats that were flying in.
All the effort paid off. The vampire bats dared not approach the flames, and because their eyesight was already poor, they were terrified and fled in all directions when the light shone on them.
Perhaps based on their previous experience of being bitten by poisonous bees, the Taoist priests controlled the situation well this time. The bats merely fled and did not attack the Hu people's army.
The Hu people thought they were sure to win today, but they were defeated so quickly. Their opponents also had a master who subdued them with a single move.
With no other option, and having already suffered heavy casualties, the Hu people had no choice but to order a retreat.
Seeing this, Ye Moxun instructed Song Tantan to clean up all the marks on the city tower and quickly put anything that shouldn't be there back into his spatial storage. He then called Zhong Qingyi out, saying, "Uncle might have hit that Taoist priest. Even if he only hit one of them, it would still be of great benefit to us."
“Alright, leave it to me.” Zhong Qingyi possessed extraordinary arm strength and precise archery skills.
Sure enough, several arrows were shot out with a 'whoosh' sound, and then two of the five Taoists were hit. The arrows were coated with a potent poison, and the two Taoists died shortly afterward.
"In that case, they can't perform their magic to harm people for the time being." Ye Moxun saw clearly that the five Taoists had set up an array before performing their magic, but now that two of them had been killed, the array could not be set up.
"Thanks to you and Tantan today, otherwise my uncle would have been utterly defeated." Zhong Qingyi's expression was solemn. The Hu people's unpredictable entrance was truly troublesome. If they continued to fight like this a few more times, how could they possibly continue?
"Uncle, don't panic, there will definitely be a way to deal with them." Ye Moxun seemed to be thinking. Array, but an array can be used. That book that Tantan gave to his uncle, has his uncle never used it even once?
Who said they hadn't used it? Of course they had. When Zhong Qingyi first came to the border, he had no experience in fighting. He relied on his best troop deployment to drive the Hu people out of Chicheng of the Great Jin Dynasty. But later, the soldiers couldn't even get enough to eat, so they had no energy to train.
In any case, they didn't really fight properly after that, which caused a delay. When Zhong Qingyi heard Ye Moxun mention it, she realized the importance of troop deployment and decided to make use of it again.
This time, Ye Moxun didn't lose a single soldier; he and Song Tantan alone repelled the Hu army. All the generals admired him greatly, and even the other generals looked at Zhong Qingyi with even greater respect after learning about it.
Because the Hu people used underhanded tactics this time, Ye Moxun and Song Tantan did not dare to leave the military camp and stayed for another two months before leaving. During this time, the Hu people brought the remaining three Taoists to seek revenge, attracting all kinds of poisonous creatures.
However, Ye Moxun resolved each of them. The Taoist priest had set up an array to attract poisonous creatures, which would likely backfire. After several such incidents, during a battle, Ye Moxun saw clearly that after the three Taoist priests were defeated, they all spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the spot, unable to get up again.
Because of the constant harassment by the poisonous creatures, Ye Mo was extremely annoyed. He wanted to leave but was worried. When the three old Taoists were seriously injured, he and Song Tantan led a dozen or so military experts to sneak into the Hu people's tent that night and killed the three old Taoists.
Of course, they also lost one man, but for the next half month, the Hu people dared not come again and retreated ten miles.
In the subsequent battles of using poison against poison, Chunsheng and A Si were also present. At first, Ye Moxun wanted to broaden their horizons and teach them more advanced techniques of using poison.
Unexpectedly, the two became addicted. When it was time to leave, they volunteered to stay, saying they wanted to use their skills to help Zhong Qingyi deal with the heretical Taoists hired by the Hu people. Although the five Taoists had been dealt with, who knew if another evil monk or something would come later?
After his attempts to persuade them failed, and seeing that the two were determined to make a name for themselves on the border, Ye Moxun, for some selfish reasons, agreed to their request. However, before leaving, he gave them a copybook.
It contains content that the two of them had never encountered before. After reading it, they will be able to use poisons more skillfully and deeply, and will also be able to develop more domineering and powerful powders.
The two were overjoyed, thinking that they could learn Ye Moxun's skills in the future, such as being able to summon thousands of poisonous creatures and fight against people.
Ye Moxun: You're overthinking it. This is only less than half of the content. How could he possibly teach them all his skills without reservation?
When he left, everyone was very reluctant to part with him. Many soldiers came to see him off, but Ye Moxun remained calm and showed no reluctance. He had no intention of entering the court as an official, whether in civil or military affairs.
"Uncle, take good care of yourself. With Chunsheng and Asi by your side, you don't need to worry about the Hu people playing dirty tricks. They should be able to handle it. Your nephew is going back now." Seeing that he was about to leave, Ye Moxun was still a little sad and reluctant to part.
"Uncle, you must take good care of yourself. Keep those medicines safe and don't let anyone hurt you." Song Tantan sniffed, and finally couldn't hold back her tears. She buried her face in his arms and cried silently for a while.
