Chapter 159 Croton makes another contribution

When it comes to using laxatives to make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness, no one thinks this move is so despicable. On the contrary, the Tang Dynasty used this move to kill many enemies over the years. The most famous example is the battle of Li Zhen using croto powder to destroy Jie Li Khan. At that time, although Jie Li Khan was defeated by Li Jing's army, there were actually tens of thousands of people under the command of the first escape. If they were to destroy them head-on, it would not only take time and effort, but also suffer a lot of losses themselves. This is not what Li Zhen was willing to see.

So after predicting the war form, people were sent to buy large quantities of crotons in Shu in advance, almost buying all the crotons in Shu, causing the price of crotons soaring that year, almost causing the Tang Dynasty version of 'Dou You Play'. Although it almost caused an economic crisis, the effect was also significant. After buying all crotons, grind them into powder, calculate the route and rest time of Jie Li's escape in advance, and then intercepted the river water and sprinkled the croton flour into the river...

In the end, all Jie Li's headquarters were captured in this battle, and Xue Rengui's army suffered almost no losses. The Tang army won a great victory. Xue Rengui also became famous all over the world in that battle and became the newest among the Tang army. Of course, there were enemies secretly giving him a nickname - General Badou. This nickname was passed down for a long time. Until later, Xue Rengui's talent was completely displayed, and he won more and more battles, and his reputation gradually spread. This made everyone gradually lose this nickname.

Later, laxatives became a secret weapon on the underground front. Li Zhen even specially found a refinement of croton, crotonin. The power of this thing is even more terrifying. A drop of crotonin can make hundreds of people lose their combat power. Especially in this kind of annihilation war, it only used a small bottle of crotonin, which made thousands of people in the entire manor unable to stand up.

Before the war begins, spies often put laxatives into the enemy's water source in advance. Even if they are discovered, they will only lose some laxatives. But if they succeed, the gain will be great - for example, this time, an undercover agent mixes crotonin into the water source of the manor in advance, and Ma Rufei only needs to come in to pick up the corpse, which greatly saves time and reduces the losses.

"My God..." After Ma Rufei came in, he was shocked by the spectacular scene in front of him. He knew that laxatives were the weapon of the Tang Dynasty's secret battles. He often used them without any disadvantages, but he had never seen them with his own eyes. This time he opened his eyes - hundreds of people piled up together, brown liquid flowed across the sky, and the smell filled the entire space. Everyone was lying on the ground in a mess, some people's faces were covered with ** but they didn't have the strength to avoid wiping... The scene was simply too eye-catching.

Some people could not even stand the smell and equipped the gas mask. At this moment, Ma Rufei was extremely awake. Fortunately, they equipped the gas mask and chemical protective suits, otherwise the job would not be possible. Originally, they equipped the gas mask and chemical protective suits purely to prevent toxic gases and other range-related killing weapons in the manor's mechanism, but now it seems that there is no poison gas, and the stench is sucked all over the mouth and nose.

"What are you doing? Work quickly."

Looking at the soldiers of the First Division with different expressions, the brows under the spider-mask man's mask slowly frowned, and couldn't help but remind him, but he sighed in his heart: The quality of this foreign legion is not good, and it is impossible to compare with the young army. Fortunately, they are just cannon fodder troops, so they can't ask too much.

If Ma Rufei knew his performance and therefore made the Spider-Mask Man look down on his third army soldiers, he would be unable to say what he thought.

However, the spider-mask man did underestimate the foreign legion and misunderstand Li Zhen's meaning. Li Zhen never used foreign legion as cannon fodder troops. In Ye's eyes, the Tang army was the Tang army, and at most it was divided into different branches of military service according to its functions. In his eyes, there were never two categories of regular army and cannon fodder. Some of them were the Tang army. Some of them were indeed not strong in combat, but that was only compared to the elites within the Tang Dynasty. Even these not very strong armies were elites abroad, and they were all elites among the elites. They were not vague in fighting wars. If they were accompanied by a clever commander, their combat power might not be much worse than the elite.

The foreign legion was trained by Li Zhen according to the model of the Young Army. Except for the different thermal weapons and training bases, the rest were just the same as the Young Army. In terms of military qualities, they were actually similar to the Young Army. However, this time it was their first time to conduct actual combat. They had no combat experience before, so they became ugly today.

In fact, as a group of new recruits, the performance of these teenagers is already qualified enough, but the achievements of these young teenagers are really amazing and invincible, which gives the spider mask man the illusion that foreign legions are inferior to the young army.

What the Spider Mask is hard but I don't know is that the young army's performance may not be much better than these teenagers during the recruits. The first period of the 30,000 young army was also very unbearable when Li Zhen conquered Nanyang and fought against the Linyi Dance Camp for the first time. Even though Li Zhen had made various preparations before, after the first killing, the young army still vomited and made Li Zhen angry.

The same was true for the second phase of the young army. When they completed the training, they were taken to Lingnan by Li Zhen. An accident occurred on the way, resulting in insufficient ships. Li Zhen was unable to temporarily park a large amount of supplies in Hangzhou Port and sent Qianjia Battalion to take care of him. However, due to insufficient combat experience, the enemy laxatives were placed in food by the enemy. The combat effectiveness was not one in ten (this is also retribution). If Li Zhen had not felt that something was wrong and sent reinforcements in the middle of the journey, he would have been afraid that not only the supplies would be lost, Qianjia Battalion would have been destroyed. But even so, Qianjia Battalion would have suffered heavy losses.

Li Zhen was furious. If Xue Rengui had not used his military merits over the years to kill Luo Lin at that time. Even Xue Rengui's military merits did not preserve the identity of the commander of Luo Lin's Qianjia Battalion, but were thrown into the Tingfeng mercenaries by Li Zhen. After several years, he climbed up again and successfully took over the sticks of Benyin and Clivi, becoming the second-generation mercenary of Tingfeng mercenaries. If there was no mistake at the beginning, with his ability, he would have become a real general at this time, rather than just an unorganized mercenary leader like now.

So, the new recruits are like this. No matter how well they are trained, they will make various mistakes in the first actual combat. If they are not afraid of mistakes, as long as they are summarized and corrected later, the new recruits can quickly become a qualified veteran and fully display their strength.
