"So, when you said you were going to go to war, I didn't advocate going to war immediately. I just wanted to repair the roads first, so that the sergeants would not be attacked by illness after exhausting their boats and cars. The current situation is considered good, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Fortunately, there is an adult." Bian Ji was really lucky. Thinking of the moment he followed him into the mountain yesterday, Bian Ji's scalp felt numb when he saw snakes and insects running all over the ground.
When it was almost noon, Lin Bei and Bian Ji received a report from a sergeant, saying that a civilian husband had died, and that there would be three of them. Lin Bei and Bian Ji were shocked.
"Is there an enemy attack?" Bian Ji asked quickly.
"none."
"But a beast?"
"My lord, I don't know, but according to the people around me, no wild beast dared to come. Those three people were chopping trees, and then they fell to the ground and convulsed, and then died. It's very strange. Now the people are a little uneasy."
Lin Bei took a breath, exchanged glances with Bian Ji, hurried out of the tent, and rushed to the scene of the incident.
The sergeant had already sealed off the place. When Lin Bei rushed there, the sergeant came to report that there was no noteworthy trace at all nearby. There must be no aborigines, and no large beasts had come.
Lin Bei went in, Bian Ji wanted to go in too, Lin Bei shook his head at him, Bian Ji had to stop: "My lord, be careful in everything."
The three civilian husbands who died were still lying there, and their bodies had not been picked up. Lin Bei could see the three men foaming at the mouth and their eyes wide open. They should have been terrified before they died. Lin Bei couldn't bear it, but he had to be more careful. observe.
"Looking at them like this, it's clear that they don't look like wild beasts. Could it be that the disease was suddenly born because of unacceptable water and soil? But why did only the three of them get sick here, but the others didn't have any accidents?"
Lin Bei then asked about the situation of the three of them. The soldiers told Lin Bei that the three of them were in good health, otherwise they would not have been selected into the logging regiment, and Lin Bei denied the disease.
Turned half a circle around the corpses of the three people.Lin Bei's eyes suddenly glanced at a big tree next to him. Half of the tree had been cut off, and the bark was turning white. Lin Bei looked at it for a while, and then remembered a kind of tree. He subconsciously took a half step back, and looked again. The heart said Nima, it turned out that this thing was made.
This tree is a poisonous tree.It is called Arrow Poison Wood, its bark is grayish white, and its sap is highly poisonous, similar to the toxicity of a cobra. As long as the sap is splashed into the wound, it is almost certain to die. Still very understanding.This kind of poisonous arrow wood is also found in China, usually in places like Dali.The three countries of Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam should also exist, but Lin Bei didn't think of it for a while, but he didn't want the peasants to cut wood, but came across this kind of tree.
"I found the reason." Lin Bei sighed inwardly, pointing to the poisonous arrow tree and said: "These three people were poisoned to death by the sap of this tree splashed into their wounds. This tree is called poisonous arrow tree. Extremely poisonous."
It's actually a tree?The sergeants were all stunned. Looking at the big tree, they subconsciously stepped back a few steps. I'm afraid they thought it was a tree demon again.
Bian Ji thought for a while, and seemed to think of something.He said slowly: "Could it be the 'Gorgon poisonous tree' that Yizhou Yi people call it? It is said that tigers and bears are shot into the body by this tree, and they fall to the ground and die. Some Yi people put its juice on the arrow and shot it Tigers and leopards are invincible.”
"It should be." Lin Bei nodded.
"It is good to know that it is this tree."
Bian Ji saw that the sergeants around him were still in disbelief and fear, so he asked the sergeant to catch a hare, cut a wound, and then asked the sergeant to carefully drip the sap into the wound. After a while, the hare kicked off. Kicking their legs, they immediately died. Only then did the sergeants realize the power of this sap.
"Wang Laicai, tell the soldiers and civilians to be careful of this kind of tree. When logging, wrap your hands with cloth, so that there will be no wounds. Once injured, let these people leave the mountain, so as not to increase unnecessary casualties." Bian Ji gave another order. .
Wang Laicai responded quickly, and then notified everyone. Hearing that the reason was found out, the common people were relieved, and then heard that they were poisoned to death by tree sap. These common people were a little scared. Fortunately, Wang Laicai listened to Bian Ji's words , Let these people wrap their hands with cloth, so that there are no wounds, Lin Bei even showed his own experience, touching the poisonous arrow wood with his body, telling the common people that as long as there are no wounds, nothing will happen, and the common people settled down, and then they became more cautious when logging .
In the evening, the sergeant came to report again. Nothing happened this afternoon, but a lot of poisonous arrow trees were found. In addition to the poisonous arrow wood, the sergeant and the civilian husband also found several poisonous rattans and shrubs. These are not as poisonous as poison arrow wood, and the folks have already prepared for it, and there is no accident, but this day only a wooden path of more than ten miles has been paved, and the progress is very slow.
There was no rain at night, and Lin Bei had been patrolling the surrounding area, and he didn't go back until the middle of the night. He was planning to recover his energy, but he didn't know that something happened as soon as he went back.
A frenzied rhino rushed into the resting place of civilian husbands and soldiers. Because of being caught off guard, one soldier was killed, and then the rhino injured more than ten people before being driven away. After Lin Bei got the news, he was very angry. The one came up, and immediately started chasing and killing the rhinoceros. After chasing and killing it for more than ten miles, he killed the rhinoceros, and then dragged it back, and then appeased the common people and the soldiers.
On the second day after entering the forest, another [-] people fell ill and were sent away from Changshan. Fortunately, because it was not an epidemic, the existence of Linbei gave the common people and soldiers a sense of security, so even though accidents happened one after another, Morale remains high.
At noon on the second day, Lin Bei saw something wrong with Bian Ji's face: "Master, do you think there is something wrong with you?"
Bian Ji blushed a little, but this was not normal, but Bian Ji didn't feel it, "My lord, the student didn't feel it. With an adult by my side, how could there be something wrong with the student?"
"I don't think you look right."
Bian Ji looked at the basin, "Could it be that you haven't slept well these days?"
Lin Bei ignored Bian Ji, and ordered the sergeant to call in the military doctor. After the military doctor took the pulse, he said that Bian Ji was alternating cold and heat, with rising yin qi, and low yang qi. Anyway, there were a lot of them. At the beginning of the disease, I would not feel it, but once the disease occurs, it will be like a mountain, and now Lin Bei directly asks the sergeant to send Bian Ji away.
On this day, the peasants had already had some time to pave the wooden road, so they paved fifteen miles in one day. At the same time, they also encountered a problem, that is, they encountered a swamp in the forest, and this swamp was not easy to get around.
At night, Lin Bei walked around the swamp and came back to tell the soldiers how to cross the swamp, that is to cut down the big trees without removing the branches and leaves, and use the trees as bridges. Lin Bei was also very tired that day , he writhed in the mud of the swamp, dragged trees, rescued people, and tested the depth of the swamp. Anyway, he did everything he could do. Finally, when he was resting at night, Lin Bei felt as tired as a dog.
Even if Lin Bei was too tired to follow a dog, on the fourth day, more and more people became ill, reaching a total of more than [-] people who became ill. At this time, there was still a distance of nearly fifty miles from point b. Difficult.
As we went deeper into the dense forest, there were more ferocious beasts around. At night, the sergeant had to light torches to drive away the wild beasts. Even though he was so prepared, he encountered another rhino attack. Every rhino was short-sighted, and they couldn’t see people at all. , so sometimes they will charge towards bright places. They have rough skin and great strength. They charge like tanks, and the soldiers can't stop them at all.
In addition to rhinos, Lin Bei and the others also encountered a large herd of bison. They don't know if they migrated or what. The number of bison reached nearly a thousand. Fortunately, the bison are afraid of fire, and the bison were scared away by the erected torches. However, that kind of momentum made many people dare not sleep all night, including Lin Bei.
Before and after running, Lin Bei had to do everything, but his body would not get sick, so on the morning of the fifth day, Lin Bei looked at his body and found that he was a little thinner, mentally and mentally haggard.
ps:...
Chapter 211
"When there is time, we must get a special operations unit out." Lin Bei was furious in his heart.
Special operations forces are special operations forces. In the eyes of the public, they generally refer to those special forces, and this is what Lin Bei thinks.
Before the battle in the jungle started, Lin Bei felt that his head was too big. This kind of jungle terrain was too harsh. If he hadn't been busy and frightened the wild beasts, the casualties of the sergeants would have been astronomical, which made Lin Bei Realize that in such places, numbers are not the key to victory in battle.
It is true that there are many people and strong strength, but when it comes to scoring points, this kind of jungle terrain is suitable for elite soldiers to fight independently, and large troops are a bit cumbersome.
In addition, Lin Bei's goal is not only in the Central Plains area, it can even be said that he may not get involved in the competition of heroes in the Central Plains area, but set his sights on the countries of the world. Nowadays, most of these places are The aborigines, the place where they live is as dangerous as the dense forest here, so the special forces are particularly important.
Well-trained special forces must at least be able to adapt to many environments. Deserts, forests, and seas are the most basic, which cover almost all harsh terrains. With special forces, Lin Bei will be more confident in facing those natives. Although the army can also exterminate the aborigines, Lin Bei cannot accept the casualties caused by the harsh environment.
"We have to let Wang Laicai select excellent soldiers when we go back. Unfortunately, Xu Shu and Cui Lan are not here. Otherwise, we will leave it to them to handle the matter."
This kind of special operations force will be the most powerful soldier in the future, so it is necessary to choose a leader who is trustworthy and talented. Both An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji are internal affairs talents, and they are definitely not suitable.
On the sixth day, Linbei was still 25 miles away from point b, and then it began to rain continuously.Although it was raining, the forest was not cool. Instead, it was extremely hot. The unacclimatized weather and the influence of the weather had greatly increased the number of patients. Nearly 5000 people had fallen ill.Among them, the logging regiment had the largest number of patients. Because the sergeants were well-trained, only a hundred people fell ill.
"My lord, this forest is really not a place for people to stay." Wang Laicai was wearing armored stomach, his face was so hot that he was sweating, "It's not cool at all when it rains."
"It's like this in the forest. Let everyone overcome it. Boil the water at night before drinking it. If you feel unwell, report it immediately. Don't ask people to be hard-pressed. Those natives are not strong, so we can't worry. "
"Understood, my lord."
Lin Bei doesn't let the loggers work hard every day, and the management is quite loose, and the peasants can rest when they are tired. Because of this, some peasants are sick even if they are sick.Once they survive this period, they will find that they can adapt to the environment of the forest.
So the tenth day.The road was finally paved to point b. At this time, the number of sick people reached [-], but compared with the previous few days, the number of sick people has decreased. Most of the remaining people are extremely healthy and adaptable.Unless these people encounter accidents, even if they come in again, the chance of getting sick is not very high. People's adaptability is very strong.
There were no more natives at point b, so the sergeants checked around and reported to Lin Bei.He said that these aborigines might have left long ago, but Lin Bei was not surprised. After all, Lin Bei attacked this small tribe, and if he was one of those aborigines, he would definitely leave.
"Let the boatmen build the boat, and the sergeants patrol the surrounding area and make traps. For the time being, treat this place as a stockade and don't go back. Reinforce the wooden road that was erected when they came. This wooden road cannot be abandoned for the time being. In addition, Send the sergeant back to Haicheng, tell An Zhongzhi and Master about the situation here, and be ready for reinforcements at any time." Lin Bei gave the order.
The peasants cut down all the big trees around them, cut out a large open space, set fire to it, and erected planks around it, and a simple forest fortress was built, with wooden paths leading to the outside world, and the sea-watchers might pass through. Mu Dao came here continuously, and Lin Bei was ready to fight steadily.
There is nothing wrong with the way of fighting in ancient times. It is true that soldiers are expensive and fast. However, Lin Bei does not intend to just plunder the natives and then go back, but to completely occupy this forest. Therefore, he has to step by step and build strongholds one by one. Form a huge network of strongholds, which is also very important for the later development of business channels.
On the 12th day after entering the dense forest, the construction of this simple stockade was almost completed, and the number of sick people really decreased as Lin Bei expected.
A dozen small boats have been built, and Lin Bei asked the sergeants to take the small boats up the river to search for news about the aborigines. Once they found a gathering place of the aborigines, they could start a war.
