Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 635 Betelgeuse is the claw, the white tiger kills
"The layout of Ruan Bao's barracks is quite good. Each location is clearly defined. It is built based on the terrain. With the help of the earth veins, it can be said to be strong. However, the earth veins here are originally gold veins, and fire defeats metal. If it is attacked by fire, I’m afraid I’m going to suffer!”

On a mountaintop in the distance, a man in Taoist robes stood on the edge of the cliff, watching from a distance.

"Forget it, anyway, we have to wait here for the purple air to come from the east and take in the morning breath, so we might as well take a look."

If Zhang Jingsheng, Ge Lu and others were here, they would immediately recognize the origin of this Taoist. If not, then who is Li Bunie?

There has been no news from this person since he left without saying goodbye in Ge Lu's house last time. Unexpectedly, he was outside the city again, standing on the side of the cliff.

Looking from his angle, he could clearly see Ruan Bao's camp and the city in the distance.

However, as night fell, neither the continuous military camps nor the not-so-tall city walls could be seen clearly, and one could only see the outline through the light of torches.

Suddenly, the man was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and he muttered: "In the middle of the barracks, the place guarded by the fires is where Ruan Bao is. It was originally enveloped by Qi and blood for the purpose of rising. As a result, All of a sudden this blood energy is gone, this is going to..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a hundred steps away from the barracks. In a place that was originally dark, several flames suddenly burst out. Then the flames gradually rose, and with a "whoosh", they flew out and passed straight across. Mid-air, fell into the barracks!

crackle!crackle!
Where the fire hit the ground, there was an explosion, and then the fire scattered and spread quickly!

"This is?"

Li Buyie stood up and looked intently at the dark place. After a while, he suddenly smiled and shook his head: "It's time and destiny. Unexpectedly, Pindao actually witnessed a change in luck this time! "After saying that, he sat down again and looked down carefully, but his eyes were mainly focused on the dark place.

At this time, a little light gradually appeared there.

The firecrackers were put into the net bag one after another, and then ejected directly, falling into the barracks and exploding. Not only were the caltrops scattered, but also a thick light green smoke gradually expanded.

Smoke and flames spread through the tent.

Because the camps occupy a large area and are far apart from each other, the damage caused by the flames is not great. The figure swallowed by the flames is really a drop in the bucket compared to the people in front of Dai County City.

Some people were originally in the tent. When the roof of the tent was hit by a fire pole and caught fire, they ran out as soon as possible. When they reached a relatively open area, they looked back, only to be confused and panicked.

Under this change, the entire barracks suddenly became chaotic. People were running and escaping every moment, and even more people were roaring and howling!
This voice startled Ruan Bao and others in the tent. When the commander came to the camp and looked at the rising flames, he finally understood!
"Those bastards really dare to attack the camp?" Ruan Bao gritted his teeth and then sneered, "Okay, okay, they are looking for death! Give me the order to assemble the vanguard troops and counterattack immediately!"

"promise!"

Amid the chaotic noise, the two lieutenants hurried to control the situation, and Ruan Bao then said to the other lieutenant: "Organize the manpower immediately and control the fire in the camp! And Dou Chu, the scouts he arranged are so useless, For the night attack, I have already ordered to go down to prepare, what are his people doing to eat, to let the enemy approach here, and to release so many rockets, there is no news yet!"

"Something's wrong, something's wrong." Wang Qian next to him looked wrong, "This is not caused by rockets. Although the wind direction tonight is suitable for archery in the city, if the rocket comes with the wind, it shouldn't be able to shoot so far, and the fire will not be able to shoot so far." Expanding so quickly, let alone..."

While they were talking, a flaming fire pole flew over not far from their heads and landed not far away. Suddenly there was a burst of rising fire.

The firelight reflected on the faces of several people, making them all speechless.

"This... is definitely not a rocket!" Ruan Bao's expression became tense, "There is something in the city that we don't know!"

"I'm afraid it's not just the city!" Wang Gan looked even more serious, and he looked at another person—that was the one who ran in at the beginning to inform Ruan Bao, "Lieutenant Lu, you just said that Duan Wenyang who besieged Dai County Big defeat? What on earth is going on?"

Lieutenant Nalu was also a little nervous because of the surprise attack. He was startled when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "This is the news that just came. It is said that Duan Wenyang was defeated and captured, and tens of thousands of troops were lost!"

"This is absolutely impossible!" Ruan Bao said resolutely, "This is a rumor that disrupts the morale of our army. It must have been spread by the Yang brothers in the city. Where is the person who reported the news? Drag him out immediately and kill him! Do not allow such words in the army Rumor has it! Mr. Wang, please go back to your account and wait until I break the city and capture the Yang brothers before I talk to you!"

"I wish the general a great victory!" Wang Qian nodded, knowing clearly that Ruan Bao was also doubtful about the news, but he knew very well that this matter must not be spread, otherwise it would shake the morale of the army.

Here, after a few brief words, Ruan Bao put on his helmet, and with the support of several soldiers, he was about to go to where the war horse was, but inexplicably, several groups of faint green smoke floated over, shrouding the air. Around a few people.

In fact, while they were talking, there was already a very thin green mist floating over, lingering around, seeping into their mouths and noses, but it was just too rare that no one noticed it.

Until this moment, along with a newly fallen fire pole, the light green smoke finally became thicker.

"Huh? These smokes..." Ruan Bao noticed the smoke, his whole body swayed slightly, and his mind sank, his eyesight turned black, his eyelids became heavy, and he suddenly thought something bad in his heart, "No! This thing has... ..." He exclaimed, but found that the sound was very weak. He turned his head and looked to the side, only to see that the king had fallen to the ground. He tried hard to climb up, but was unable to do so.

"……poison!"

When the last word was spoken, Ruan Bao's legs were unstable and he fell to the ground, but he still desperately used his two arms to move the ground, trying to move forward and escape from this smoke-shrouded place——

He has already guessed that the current situation is caused by these fogs, but at the moment, even if he uses both hands and feet, he still seems a little powerless.

"General!" At the critical moment, two of his soldiers came over and picked up the fallen general.

The temples of the two soldiers bulged high. After exhaling, they closed their mouths and noses tightly, and the muscles all over their bodies were trembling slightly.

Ruan Bao, whose eyelids were already heavy, only had time to point to the king before he fell asleep completely.

………………

"I don't know if this kind of poisonous gas fire is really as powerful as the prefect said."

On the distant city wall, Yang Song and Yang Yuan stood at the top of the city, looking at the barracks with huge flames from a distance.

After Yang Song sighed, he added: "I have to admit that the ambush you arranged in advance was just right, because they ambush earlier than Ruan Bao's scouts, so when those scouts passed by, they immediately was taken down."

"What should be really surprising is the training of these scouts." Yang Yuan shook his head. "Without the training methods ordered by the prefect, I would not have dared to implement this strategy. The skills of those scouts were really beyond my expectation. If I didn't know Their heels, I would think they have been practicing for several years."

"Because of this, those vehicles and cannons were able to get close and start attacking, but..." Yang Song looked at his brother with a complex expression. The flames shone on his face, bringing out various emotions, which seemed to be mixed with a trace of Fear, "Isn't it a bit too much to just take out the poison gas fire? The prefect has repeatedly warned that this thing kills too much. You have also seen it. The result of our attempt with the wild dog and hare is not until the last moment." …”

"With all due respect, brother." Yang Yuan interrupted Yang Song before he could finish his words, "I have seen and admired the prefect's ability, but there are some things he still doesn't do enough. The two armies are fighting, and it is a matter of life and death. How can there be any mercy? Naturally, we must use the most tyrannical means to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and then win!"

There was a cold look in his eyes, and then his words turned to regret: "It's a pity that the poisonous mist is difficult to control, and the number of herbs that can resist it is not many. Otherwise, 2000 people and horses would have herbs in their mouths at this time, and take advantage of the enemy's chaos. The attack on the camp to cover up the killing will definitely be successful! As it is now, many people in the camp may have a chance to escape."

The poisonous mist does not distinguish between friend and foe, so even if the enemy camp is in chaos and is at the upper wind, Yang Yuan cannot lead people over to take advantage of the opportunity to harvest, which is regrettable.

But his words made his brother Yang Song's eyelids twitch and the corners of his mouth twitch subconsciously.

At the same time, on the edge of the cliff in the distance, Taoist Li Buni looked at the fire in the night, sighed, raised his head, and stared into the depths of the starry sky.

"Prepare firewood, and the three stars are in the sky. Rigel is the claw, and the white tiger is responsible for killing. Rigel rises, and there is another killing. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

Saying this, he suddenly stood up, turned around and walked away without waiting for the sun to rise in the east. He disappeared into the depths of the night in a blink of an eye.

As the battle turns and the stars move, the moon sets and the sun rises.

When the killings in the city did not change the alternation of day and night, when the east turned white, many aristocratic families in Dai County sent people out, but when they arrived, their faces were full of worry.

So when they gathered at the execution ground, the air here seemed much more solemn.

The people gathered around to watch, and the prefect sat on it, administering laws and decrees, and making decisions about life and death.

Before the prisoners were brought to the execution ground, Chen Zhi was already sitting there. Looking at his figure, the family members felt complicated.

"Did you ever hear that Ruan Bao led his troops to kill him? Let me tell you, today's execution may not be possible."

In the commotion, someone whispered.

　Thanks to "Changing Heart Song", "Chinese Dragon Tea", "I'm Not Qingping" and "Xueyu Taoist" for their rewards!
