    It's quiet at night.

    At the gate of the camp, several Chu soldiers on duty showed no sign of fatigue. They still stood majestically, scanning the night outside the camp with alert eyes.

    From time to time, groups of patrols passed by the tents of the camps, inspecting the camps.

    In order to prevent Shanshan people from harassing them again, Yan Liang has already made arrangements. If the enemy dares to harass them again, they will be forced to experience the power of arrow rain.

    In the dark night, there was suddenly a thin sound, as if something was crawling across the grass, heading this way.

    "What's the sound?" A soldier became alert and tightened his grip on his sword and gun.

    Another soldier said: "It's probably insects crawling in the grass. Don't make a fuss."

    The two of them calmed down, but soon, the increasingly dense "rustling" sounds made them both uneasy.

    The two of them stared at the dark night with their eyes wide open. The sound was getting louder and denser, as if countless insects were crawling crazily towards the camp.

    ¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± Suddenly, a soldier screamed in pain and fell to the ground, clutching his leg.

    "What's going on!" The other companion was startled and rushed over in a few steps.

    The soldier who fell to the ground pulled up his trouser legs and looked through the firelight. He saw that his calf was bitten by something, and the calf near the wound was completely black in the blink of an eye.

    ¡°Obviously, he was bitten hard by a poisonous insect.

    Just when the other soldier was horrified, he suddenly felt a pain in his feet. He yelled and subconsciously reached out to grab it.

    A long and thin thing was immediately caught in his hand.

    Looking through the firelight, the soldier shouted in horror: "Snake - it's a snake -"

    The words just fell out.  Another bite was taken on the leg, and the soldier screamed and fell down. The two of them rolled a few times, twitched violently, and then became motionless.

    In the darkness, countless poisonous snakes wormed their way into the Chu camp.  Along the way, they bite anyone they see.

    The first ones were the soldiers on patrol, and then there were the soldiers sleeping in the tents. Those poisonous snakes were all-pervasive and impossible to guard against.

    In the Chu camp, screams, exclamations, and warnings rang out, and they suddenly fell into panic.

    Yan Liang in the royal tent.  Alerted by the sound of roaring camp, he rushed out of the tent in displeasure, yawned and shouted: "It's just harassment by barbarians, don't make a fuss, stay calm."

    The order was passed down, but it had no effect at all.  Panic was like a plague, and the crazy contagion soon spread throughout the camps.

    and.  No enemy shouts of killing were seen outside the camp, so the Chu army was in chaos. Thousands of them fled towards the northwest from the direction near Panshe Pass.

    "What's going on?" Yan Liang realized that something was a little unusual, and he immediately became alert.

    At this time, Hu Cheer galloped over on horseback and shouted: "Your Majesty, for some reason, many venomous snakes suddenly got into the camp outside the camp, and they bite everyone they see. There is no way to guard against them!"

    Venomous snake?

    Yan Liang frowned, and in just one breath, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

    He realized it immediately.  These poisonous snakes are most likely secret weapons deliberately unleashed by the Shanshan people.

    You must know that the strength of Shanshan State is inferior to that of Yanqi State. They knew clearly that they were no match for Chu, but they still accepted the challenge calmly. They even dared to send troops and horses to harass the Chu army first.

    By doing this, it seems that Shanshan people are completely confident.

    "Could it be that these venomous snakes are their trump card?" Yan Liang thought quickly, connected various clues, and quickly guessed the score.

    "Your Majesty, what should we do? These venomous snakes are too damn vicious." Hu Cheer shouted.

    Yan Liang pondered for a moment, then jumped on his horse and said in a deep voice: "Instruct all the troops to mount their horses immediately, abandon their camps and retreat, and help me evacuate the oasis without stopping."

    After drinking, Yan Liang put the red rabbit on his hip, turned the horse and left.

    This poisonous snake was released by the people of Shanshan. There are so many in the dark night that it is impossible to resist them. If they stay here any longer, they will only lose the lives of the soldiers.

    Being as decisive as Yan Liang, of course he made the wisest decision immediately without even thinking about it.

    The climate of the oasis here is similar to that of the south of the Yangtze River, which is suitable for the breeding of mosquitoes, snakes and ants. However, in the Gobi outside the basin, those venomous snakes do not dare to come out. As long as you retreat outside the basin, you will definitely be able to escape the pursuit of the venomous snakes.

    After the order was passed, the officers and soldiers of all the camps abandoned their useless things and turned over their bodies.The horse, traveling lightly, galloped along the original road.

    Although the poisonous snake was fast, it could not keep up with the galloping war horse, and was soon left behind.

    At dawn, Yan Liang led his troops and finally withdrew to the outskirts of the basin and returned to the Gobi Desert.

    The total loss was over 3,000 people. They could not escape from the oasis and must have died in the mouths of poisonous snakes.

    The emotions of the soldiers gradually calmed down. Everyone sat on the ground panting with lingering fear, recalling the horror of the previous night.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Let them deal with living people without even blinking an eyebrow, but when they encounter that elusive and unpredictable venomous snake, they're all horrified.

    Since the expedition, this was the first time that the Chu army suffered damage. Although it only lost 3,000 soldiers and horses, it was an unprecedented defeat for the Chu army in recent years.

    "Your Majesty, I made a mistake in my intelligence and failed to think in time that there are many poisonous snakes in the Puchang Oasis. The Shanshan people actually used poisonous snakes as weapons. Please punish me." Ma Su said with shame.

    Yan Liang waved his hand and said, "Well, the Western Region is originally a land of alienation and cannot be judged by common sense. This is no wonder to you. But what kind of snake is this poisonous snake that is so powerful?"

    Ma Di hurriedly offered a killed venomous snake and said: "This snake is called a cockscomb snake. It is highly venomous. It is said that it originally grew in the jungles of the south. However, it has become extinct in the past hundred years, but it is not expected to appear in this place in the Western Regions."  ¡±

    Yan Liang looked carefully and saw that the snake had a red body and a flaming red comb on its head. It looked very different from ordinary snakes in the Central Plains.

    Just the bright color of this snake gives people a creepy feeling at first glance.

    "The environment of this Puchang oasis is similar to that of Jiangnan, and even wetter than Jiangnan. It is not surprising that this crested snake can survive here." Yan Liang disagreed.

    Guo Jia also sighed: "Earlier, I heard that there are all kinds of weird things in the Western Regions, but I didn't expect that snakes were used as weapons. It's just that the cockscomb snake is highly poisonous, and the Shanshan people released it in such large quantities.  , aren¡¯t you afraid of being hurt yourself?¡±

    "It is said that there is a kind of herbal medicine in the oasis. If you take this kind of herbal medicine all year round, your body will emit a special smell. Cockscomb snakes will not dare to approach it. It is probably because of this that these Shanshan people will be unafraid to release cockscombs.  Snakes come to deal with us," Ma Su explained.

    Upon hearing this, Guo Jia hurriedly said: "In that case, why don't we collect this herb as soon as possible and learn the methods of Shanshan people to drive away this cockscomb snake."

    All the ministers also said yes.

    Ma Su shook his head and said: "Shanshan people have been taking it for many years since they were born, so it has the effect of repelling snakes. Even if we use the same method now, it will not be effective in a short time."

    "If this is the case, if we cannot deal with this cockscomb snake, we will not be able to go deep into the oasis and wipe out the enemy city. Your Majesty, I think we should return to Yumen Pass first and think about it in the long run." Zhao Yundao.

    Everyone fell silent, their moods were temporarily frustrated, and they seemed to be unable to do anything.

    Yan Liang also had a gloomy look on his face. He was really surprised by the unique weapon of the Cockscomb Snake. According to what Ma Di said, it seemed that he couldn't find a way to restrain it in a short time.

    "If we don't restrain the Cockscomb Snake, we won't be able to penetrate deep into the oasis and level Loulan City. Then we can only lead the army back to the country as Zhao Yun said."

    In this way, the battle to pacify the Western Region will end in failure.

    After being silent for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Yan Liang's mind.

    "Hmph, I have conquered the world. Not even the vast seas can stop me. It's a joke that just a few poisonous snakes want to block my conquest." Yan Liang's arrogant tone was full of sarcasm and confidence.

    With their tone, it seems that they already have the means to crack the enemy's snake formation.

    Zhao Yun and everyone else looked at Yan Liang, full of surprise and expectation.

    Under everyone¡¯s admiration, Yan Liang issued a decree.

    As soon as this decree was spoken, all the ministers present fell into doubt and confusion.

    ¡­¡­

    Loulan City is filled with joy.

    In the bustling city, the streets were empty, and the Loulan people of the city were singing and dancing to welcome the triumphant return of their Princess Yuesha.

    This city, which was originally shrouded in the clouds of war and intimidated by the mighty Chu army, has become a sea of ??joy and excitement today.

    In the battle of Panshe Pass, their clever Princess Yuesha defeated the enemy with the Cockscomb Snake Formation, killing three thousand enemies, and drove the Chu army out of the oasis in embarrassment. This victory?, enough to make Loulan people breathe a sigh of relief and turn from panic to joy.

    Loulan City is safe and the clouds of war have been dispelled. It¡¯s strange that they are unhappy and excited.

    Princess Yuesha rode her horse proudly, accepted the obeisance of her subjects, and enjoyed the glory that the winner deserved.

    Stepping into the palace, a grand banquet was already waiting for Yuesha.

    The Plowman set up a big banquet and hosted it himself to celebrate his powerful daughter.

    "The people of Chu were bitten by a cockscomb snake like this. Knowing how powerful our Shanshan country is, they will definitely not dare to enter the oasis again." Yuesha made this conclusion firmly in front of her father and ministers.

    The plow builders and ministers were delighted and encouraged, and they all praised Yuesha's achievements.

    At this moment, the soldiers outside the palace rushed in and shouted: "Report to your Majesty, the Chu army has entered the oasis again!"

    In the main hall, everyone was stunned for a long time, and suddenly there was an uproar.

    Yuesha's beautiful face also sank, and her face showed a bit of shock and anger. You should know that she had just vowed that Chu people dared to come back. As soon as she said this, they came back to kill him. This was not a slap in the face, but a slap in the face.  What could it be.

    Yuesha was angry, and the flames of anger ignited wildly in her beautiful face.

    She stood up in a hurry, gritted her teeth and said: "Yan Liang, this guy who overestimates his own capabilities, doesn't he think he was bitten by the cockscomb snake enough? Very good, he wants to die, this princess will help him!"
