Although Xiang Ming was still a little confused, he nodded doubtfully at Xiang Zongyan's serious look, and then he held his hands in his hands and said: "Du Tong, no matter what you decide, I will follow you to the death with my brothers!"
"Death? I..." Xiang Zongyan was about to open his mouth again but quickly retracted it, feeling bitter in his heart. In this battle, nearly 10,000 Tang troops were wiped out in one fell swoop. In the final analysis, it was all thanks to the poisonous miasma strategy he offered. ! So what if they really rescued Li Yuan's sworn brother? How could Li Yuan and Peng Shiyu let them go...
Thinking of this, Xiang Zongyan closed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh deeply. The matter was irreversible, but as long as he could fight for a way out for the Xiang family in front of Li Yuan, no matter what the price he had to pay, even if he was killed at the neck. And willingly.
"A Ming." Xiang Zongyan had made up his mind and said calmly: "Now that the war has just ended, the Tang Army's scouts will definitely be out to investigate. You will personally lead a few smart soldiers and find a way to contact the Tang Army's camp. Remember, you are not allowed to carry it with you. We must let Tang Jun see our sincerity."
"By the way, put this flag away and bring it to the Tang Army. Let's say that General Luo has been rescued by us! Let the Tang Army send people over as soon as possible to discuss important matters..."
Xiang Ming hurriedly took it with both hands, folded it carefully and said worriedly: "Du Tong, what should I do if they don't believe it?"
Xiang Zongyan said rather calmly: "If you don't believe it, tell them that as the leader of the Xiang family, I am willing to enter the Tang camp alone..."
"We can't all take over!" Xiang Ming opened his eyes wide and said anxiously: "If something happens to you, what should the brothers do? If the leader is in trouble, how can I have the dignity to go back to see the elders of the clan? Absolutely not !”
Xiang Zongyan waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the survival of my Xiang clan! I have made up my mind, no need to say more! Just execute the military order!"
Staring at Xiang Zongyan's frowning brows, Xiang Ming suppressed the pity in his heart, straightened his waist and cupped his hands and said: "General, I will obey your orders!"
"Wait a minute, take a closer look. This General Luo's face is as dark as thick ink. Could it be that he is about to get poisoned? Send a few more people back to the tribe and urge the old witch to leave quickly!"
"I will obey your orders!"
...
Nowadays, the atmosphere in the Tang Army camp outside the ancient road can be described as extremely solemn.
All the officers and soldiers of the Wuping Army had already assembled in the open space in front of each camp and stood quietly waiting for military orders. The resolute faces couldn't hide their sad expressions. They held their weapons tightly in their hands, held their heads high and stared at the distant mountains and forests, as if they were filled with anger and could be released just waiting for the command of the coach.
At noon, due to the delay in seeing the battle report from the front, Li Yuan felt uneasy in the commander's tent, so he ordered his soldiers to invite Peng Shiyu and the generals in the camp to discuss military matters and decide on the next move.
However, when Peng Shiyu and Liu Jiangsheng led the generals to arrive, Li Yuan, who greeted them at the entrance of the tent, immediately noticed that everyone's expressions were extremely strange.
Especially Liu Jiangsheng, who was at the front of the queue, showed an extremely rare gloomy expression. After twenty years of getting along with each other, how could Li Yuan not understand that this upright man who was like a brother, no matter what he had experienced since he was a child, he would always be the same. Didn't show such a look.
This doesn't look like the expression after winning a battle, could it be...? Li Yuan couldn't help but trembled in his heart. Before he could speak, he saw Liu Jiangsheng gently waving his hands, and several soldiers carried several large baskets of objects covered with linen. He didn't know what they were.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, what is this? I have never seen it in the camp before. Could it be that it was captured from the barbarians?"
Just as he reached out to open it, Liu Jiangsheng suddenly changed his expression, grabbed Li Yuan's arm, then pulled out the sword from his waist, and violently opened the linen cloth of several wooden baskets one by one.
Li Yuan took a glance at it and saw that the basket was full of broken cloth bags, with bluish-red stains still remaining in them, like blood mixed with inexplicable stains.
Liu Jiangsheng immediately took a few steps back, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his face showed an extremely sad expression, as if he was holding back, and said in a trembling voice intermittently: "Commander, the scouts are here to report that our army encountered a large enemy ambush at the end of the ancient road. Forcing our army to rush to the battle... Unexpectedly, the enemy army was so cruel that they released poisonous miasma to attack! In this battle, all eight thousand brothers of our vanguard army fought bravely to kill the enemy, and no one retreated. They... .They have all died for their country!
Brother Yuan, Erhu, Erhu was killed in battle! "
Li Yuan just had a gloomy face, swallowed hard, shook his head in disbelief and whispered: "Poison Miasma?!... When will the enemy have the ability to release Poison Miasma? Even if Poison Miasma is used It was a sneak attack. Why didn't our army retreat after seeing it? You said that the two tigers were killed in action. How is this possible? He was reckless, but it was not like—"
Liu Jiangsheng was already bursting into tears. Upon seeing this, a deputy general quickly took over and said: "Commander, these cloth bags were picked up by the scouts who fought to the death on the battlefield! The enemy was extremely insidious. They first used arrows to shoot out these cloth bags containing poisonous powder. It caused chaos in our vanguard and rear army...
Luo Dushi and Luo Dushi were personally leading the charge of Qingqi at that time. Seeing that the formation was broken, the enemy troops came close and released poisonous miasma! Commander, the scouts saw with their own eyes that those who were affected by this poisonous miasma all had bleeding from their mouths and noses, numb limbs, and fell to the ground within a short time..."
"Release poisonous miasma at close range?"
"Yes, Commander! I don't know what tricks the enemy used to move freely through the poisonous miasma. On the other hand, our soldiers can only be slaughtered! Alas! How loyal and brave Luo Duzhi is! Pity our eight thousand vanguard army. Brother, eight thousand people!
! "The lieutenant general sat down on the ground like a puppet that was out of action, with a sad face on his face, gnashing his teeth and beating the ground with his fists.
There was a sudden pain in his heart like an electric shock, and then the dark and honest smiling face appeared in his mind. Li Yuan's expression suddenly froze, and he stood there resisting the pain in his heart. Then his face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and shouted with all his strength: "Where is the scout? ! Where is Shen Hong?! Let him come to see me!"
The lieutenant general pursed his lips and shook his head with a look of sorrow on his face: "Commander, the north wind was blowing on the battlefield at that time, and the poisonous miasma was spreading everywhere. Even the scout battalion was not spared! Most of them were killed, and the remaining dozen brothers fought to the death to remove these cloths. After the capsule was brought back, he was almost unconscious from the poison! Commander Shen has already, already died for his country!"
"Winter!" With a sound, Li Yuan's body suddenly swayed slightly, and he hit the standing timber of the camp gate uncontrollably. The generals lost their countenance and hurriedly swarmed forward. Liu Jiangsheng and Peng Shiyu, one on the left and the other on the back, struggled to hold up Li Yuan, who had a dull expression. Source, he kept calling urgently.
After stabilizing Li Yuan again, Peng Shiyu also had a face full of compassion, gritted his teeth and lowered his head and said: "Commander! I know that Luo Dushi and you have a deep friendship, but we are facing a formidable enemy, so please be careful! In this battle, Tian Hongyou unexpectedly It is really unexpected to be able to use such vicious means as poisonous miasma! I think that I have been in Xizhou for many years and have never heard of it..."
"Commander! What Governor Peng said is, Commander, please express your condolences!"
"Commander, how can you not avenge such a bloody feud?! The last general will ask for a battle and will definitely slaughter all the barbarians to avenge Luo Du and his brothers who died!"
"Yes, Commander! The barbarians are so vicious, we will never let them go! Please give the Commander-in-Chief an order. The general is willing to lead troops directly to Xizhou City, and vows to kill all the barbarians!"
"Well said! We must not be merciful when dealing with these beasts!
Commander, order the massacre of the city! "
...
As if he had regained some sense, Li Yuan suddenly struggled to break free and shouted angrily: "Stop arguing! Do you still think I am handsome?"
Upon hearing this, all the generals hurriedly bowed their heads in silence, but their faces turned red and their eyes were on fire.
"Send the order! All the officers and soldiers in the army must assemble quickly in front of the camp! The commander ordered the above generals to immediately enter the account with me to discuss military matters!
If I don’t break Xizhou and take revenge, I will never be a human being! "
