Chapter 188 The Gift of Death
The Qin army stopped when they were 500 meters away from Jingzhou City. This was the longest range for bow and arrow shooting.
Although they stopped moving forward, they did not stop their actions and were making final preparations before attacking the city.
Although the drizzle became heavier, Mo Ye could already see the other party clearly, especially Li Chusheng who was standing in the front.
He used all his internal strength, and his voice penetrated the hundreds of meters of raindrops: "General Li Chusheng, a few months ago, was it you who arranged for people to set fire and poison in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, resulting in the tragic deaths of dozens of civilians and more than a hundred serious injuries?!"
Li Chusheng did not answer when he heard Mo Ye's question. After all, it was understandable that there were casualties when two armies fought, but poisoning the people was indeed too shameless and despicable.
Moreover, as an important general of the imperial army, he naturally could not admit this matter in public, otherwise it would easily shake the morale of the army.
But Mo Ye obviously didn't care about Li Chusheng's reaction. He just did what he had planned. He took two small iron balls from Xiaoyu's hand and flew directly into the air.
Everyone looked up and watched Mo Ye, dressed in white, fly forward dozens of meters. A cold light flashed, and two iron balls flew straight towards Li Chusheng.
However, Li Chusheng sneered. After knowing the existence of Mo Ye and others, Qin Haoran and several of his trusted generals were protected by several martial arts masters.
After flying such a long distance, the speed of the iron ball had slowed down. When it was more than ten meters away from Li Chusheng, two martial arts masters beside him threw out flying knives at the same time.
"Bang! Bang!" The flying knife collided with the iron ball, and the iron ball shattered instantly, turning out to be hollow!
After the iron ball broke, light red powder scattered from it.
The reddish mist was beautiful, and had a very relaxing aroma.
Li Chusheng vigilantly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves. After all, they were all well aware of Mo Ye's previous sneak attack on the Jingzhou camp with poison, so they had to be on guard.
"Hmph, you think you can kill me with this little trick? How ridiculous." Li Chusheng sneered, expressing his disdain for Mo Ye's methods.
He carefully observed the slow-reacting soldiers around him. After a few minutes, no one was poisoned. Instead, they enjoyed the faint fragrance.
Seeing this, he also put down his sleeves, and the disdain in his eyes turned into confusion. He didn't understand what Mo Ye was going through so much trouble to do.
"These are the gifts that the people you killed asked me to give you," Mo Ye's voice became sharp and harsh, "Those who murdered them will be punished by them."
"What a ridiculous thing! Playing tricks!" Li Chusheng shouted disapprovingly, "All troops, get ready! Move out... poof!"
Before Li Chusheng finished giving the order, blood spurted out of his mouth, and he knelt down holding his stomach, followed by a shrill scream.
"Ah...ah!"
He kept rolling on the ground, then stood up and fluttered around like a headless fly, his eyes turned gray and he shouted nonsense.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"
Li Chusheng was covered in mud and rain in the rain. He had become crazy and stupid, shouting and jumping around.
When Mo Ye saw his look, he jumped back to the city wall with great satisfaction and stood beside Xia Qin.
"Do you have to go down and get wet?" Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye who was soaked all over, and helped him smooth his wet hair with heartache.
"Doesn't it make me look more handsome this way?" Mo Ye squinted his eyes and smiled proudly.
"What kind of poison did you use?" Xia Qin asked curiously.
"Devil Heart Grass and Chaos Incense," Mo Ye turned his head and glanced at the still crazy Li Chusheng, "Gou Xi had already put the Devil Heart Grass in Li Chusheng's wine. If he smells Chaos Incense again, he will behave like this."
"So troublesome! Are you doing this for these soldiers to see?" Xia Qin understood Mo Ye's intention.
"My Xia Xia is still smart. Just like when you used gunpowder to defeat the Hun army, supernatural powers are what these people fear the most. Although it doesn't have much direct effect, it can weaken their will and desire to fight." Mo Ye explained with a smile.
"Useless trash! Incapable of doing anything good, always causing trouble!" Qin Haoran saw Li Chusheng's miserable appearance, and the anger in his heart instantly burned.
He widened his eyes and glared at Li Chusheng fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Then, Qin Haoran waved his hand suddenly and signaled to someone next to him.
The man understood what he meant and immediately took out a sharp dagger and threw it at Li Chusheng.
The dagger flashed a cold light in the air and accurately pierced Li Chusheng's chest.
Li Chusheng screamed, his body fell limply to the ground, and his blood dyed the ground beneath him red.
"How dare you use such despicable means when the two armies are fighting!" Qin Haoran roared angrily, "Lie Shu, you lead the army and attack the city immediately! No matter what, capture this city today!"
After hearing the order, Lie Shu nodded without hesitation. He turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "All troops, attack! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
The frightened soldiers came to their senses after hearing the order.
Although they were filled with fear, they also knew that if they did not obey the order, only death would await them, so they gritted their teeth and moved forward.
However, when they were still two hundred meters away from the city, suddenly, rows of strange weapons appeared on the towers and walls.
These weapons look like crossbows, but are much larger than ordinary crossbows. They are arranged neatly, as if waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
What followed was endless despair.
