Chapter 88 Poisonous Mushroom
The south gate was opened, and Zhao Desheng stood on the city tower with high spirits, the sword in his hand still dripping with blood, surrounded by the corpses of Qing soldiers lying in a strewn manner. You should take the lead in seizing the city!
The sound of horse hooves roared, and the Ming troops outside the city rushed into the city with shouts. Under the command of their respective generals, they galloped and slashed along the streets, attacking towards their respective targets.
Screaming and screaming, the Qing soldiers suddenly woke up from their sleep, dazed and confused. They quickly rushed out of the house with their weapons, and hurriedly entered the battle with their armor crooked.
"General, general -" the soldiers exclaimed repeatedly and rushed into Fan Guo'ao's room, only to see that Fan Guo'ao had woken up and was sitting on the bed in a daze, frowning, and quickly reported: "Something bad has happened. The enemy is coming."
How can I get into the city?"
Fan Guo'ao raised his head and glanced at the soldier, his eyes were very strange, full of disgust, and then he scolded: "Get out, you villain, don't pester me."
The soldier was dumbfounded by the scolding. Why did he become a villain and told himself to go away?
"General, the enemy has entered the city. You, please command the counterattack!" The soldier gritted his teeth and reported again. The situation was really urgent and he had no choice.
"Go away, you villain." Fan Guo'ao became more and more irritated. He jumped out of bed with bare feet, pulled out the sword on the bedside, and slashed randomly with his teeth. He also cursed: "I let you mess with me, you villains, kill me."
Just you, kill—"
The soldiers dodged left and right, screaming and jumping out of the room. The other soldiers who came over were also confused and didn't know how to deal with it.
…………
"General, general, what's wrong with you?" In Yang Chun's house in the city, several soldiers surrounded Yang Chun. They also didn't know why. The situation was critical, but the chief officer looked like this. They were so anxious that they almost cried.
Yang Chun was crying just now, but in the next moment he kept giggling again. He seemed to have seen something funny, waving his hands and grabbing them in the air.
"Damn it, I won't give you anything." The captain of the soldiers was in a daze, staggering, and was helped out of the house by several men. He was also talking nonsense, "You are my father,
Dad, dad."
Possessed by evil spirits, possessed by ghosts, cursed by witchcraft... several soldiers looked at each other in shock, with different ideas, but the results were the same.
"Protect the general, let's rush out and run to the north gate." The shouts of killing outside became louder and louder. One of the soldiers was still awake. Seeing that there was no hope of commanding a counterattack, he had to choose this last resort.
……………
Not only Yang Chun and Fan Guo'ao, many officers and soldiers in the Qing army developed strange symptoms after being awakened from their sleep, which affected the response of the Qing army in the city and greatly weakened the Qing army's organized resistance.
This is Zhu Yongxing’s little trick. The mushrooms left for the Qing army are poisonous. This kind of mushroom is called Boletus in Yunnan and is delicious. Every rainy season is the time for people to feast on it, and there are many mushrooms every year.
Few people have been poisoned by this. Because American boletus is not a kind of mushroom, but a family, and they are very similar to each other, it is difficult to identify poisonous and non-toxic ones, and local people cannot avoid being infected based on their experience in picking.
Moreover, poisoning by this kind of mushroom is generally not fatal, and there is an incubation period of several hours, making it difficult to detect by usual methods.
After poisoning, the patient's reactions are mostly mental symptoms and hallucination reactions, such as excitement, hallucinations, moodiness, a mixture of laughter and laughter, or daze, staggering gait, and talking nonsense. Some people even have "little people"
"Chinese hallucination syndrome", the poisoned person seems to have entered a small country. There are little people less than one foot tall everywhere, with various faces, wearing red and green, lively and extremely naughty, constantly provoking, besieging, and pestering the patient.
If released, the patient will be irritable and troubled.
This knowledge was introduced to him by Li Changqi, Zhu Yongxing's friend in his previous life, as a reminder to him not to just think about eating various Yunnan delicacies, but also to pay attention to the risks. It was also Li Changqi who told Zhu Yongxing a tip for identifying poisonous mushrooms, which is to look at the cows
Does the hepatitis fungus have a red mesh on its stipe? If so, it is probably poisonous and it is best not to eat it.
Of course, Zhu Yongxing did not pin his hopes of victory on mushrooms. He planned this little trick with the idea that it would be harmless if he could achieve success. Unexpectedly, it had unexpected effects. Although it was a sure win.
The outcome, however, reduced the casualties of the Ming army and accelerated the defeat of the Qing army.
Because there were not many poisonous mushrooms, Zhu Yongxing mixed some non-poisonous mushrooms into them and placed them in the better houses in the city. Naturally, most of these better houses were occupied by Qing army officers, so they were recruited
Most of them were officers of the Qing army.
The shouts of killing were loud, and the city was in chaos. One side had long planned and fully prepared, and the command was smooth and pointed at the key points; the other side was hasty resistance, command failure, and they fought independently. The result of the battle was obviously that the city was broken.
It's doomed.
The South Gate, East Gate, and West Gate were captured one after another. Ming troops continued to pour in, occupying various key points, and attacked and killed the enemy troops along familiar streets, dividing and surrounding the Qing troops who hadtily resisted.
"Kill, kill!" More than two hundred soldiers protected Yang Chun and rushed out. These soldiers were not only loyal, but also had extraordinary combat power. They broke through the obstruction of the two Ming armies before the Ming army fully controlled the situation in the city.
He also left behind hundreds of corpses and finally rushed out from the north gate.
Fan Guo'ao's soldiers responded slowly and were successfully blocked by the Ming army. They had no choice but to retreat to the Yamen and were surrounded by the Ming army. They could only resist stubbornly and delay the destruction in vain.
"Drive, drive." The Qing troops who escaped from the north gate beat the horses desperately. Many of the horses didn't even have time to put on their saddles. The riders could only hug the horses' necks tightly to avoid being knocked off.
There is no broken road from Tengchong to the camp set up by the Ming army for buffer time, mainly because of the rapid retreat of the Ming army. Seeing that there are no pursuers behind him, and they can gallop on the road, more than a hundred Qing troops
I couldn't help but secretly call myself lucky.
But things were obviously not as simple as they thought. How could such a well-thought-out and long-planned plan allow them to escape so easily.
Ah, ah... With several exclamations, the Qing soldiers running in front fell down one after another. The horse ropes suddenly tightened on the road, causing the Qing soldiers to flip over. Then they fell from the trees beside the road.
He continued to throw javelins and shoot bows and arrows.
With a beat of war drums, Liu Zhen, the prince of Shu, led thousands of Ming troops to rush out, blocking the Qing army's escape route. Rows of long spears pointed forward diagonally, forming a heart-stopping forest of spear points, cold and cold.
Coldly facing the chaotic Qing army.
"Those who surrender will avoid death; those who abandon their weapons will not be killed." Liu Zhen's arm fell suddenly, and the Ming army shouted in victory.
The escaping Qing troops faced the strict formations in front and the forest of guns flashing with the light of death. They all looked pale and defeated, knowing that they would never be able to escape.
