Because Shi Le was feeling depressed, his blood could not help but surge up, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The general beside him hurriedly stepped forward to hold him up to prevent him from falling from his horse.
"Khan, are you okay?" a tribal leader asked nervously.
Shi Le slowed down and sat firmly on the horse again.
"Send the order, the entire army retreats twenty miles! Order the Suda tribe to lead the army to break up the rear to prevent the enemy from making another sneak attack." Shi Le ordered.
"Yes, Khan" a soldier responded and rode away.
Soon afterwards, the Suda tribe, led by their leader Sudartie, lined up to defend not far from the mouth of the valley, and the other tribes began to pack their bags and retreat slowly.
Shi Le, who was riding on horseback, slowly headed in the direction he came from.
"Have the casualty results been calculated?" he asked slowly.
"Back to the Great Khan, the former army tribe is counting, and the results should be available soon." A tribal leader replied tremblingly.
"What was that loud noise last night?"
"The specific situation is unclear, but it should be the kerosene used by the Daxia army."
"Send someone to investigate immediately, we must find out!"
"People have been sent down to investigate." The tribe leader replied again.
In Xiguan City, Wang Dayong, Tian Ying, and Mo Yu were the first to return to the pass.
Lu Biao had been standing on the city wall looking at the end of the canyon last night. Although he couldn't see the specific situation, he could judge from the light of the fire that it must have been a success. At this time, he saw the three men leading the army back and hurriedly walked down the city wall.
In the Xiguan meeting hall, Lu Biao sat in the main seat.
Tian Ying and Mo Yu took the lead in handing over the tokens with smiles on their faces: "Tian Ying and Mo Yu led their troops to burn the camp, hand over the orders."
"Thank you for your hard work, generals!" Lu Biao comforted.
"Hahaha, it's not hard work, General. I haven't fought such a happy battle in many years!" Tian Ying replied.
"How is the situation of annihilating the enemy?" Lu Biaoman asked with a smile.
Tian Ying replied: "Although there were fires illuminating the night, we didn't have time to count the exact number of enemies wiped out. However, the general had left a small team to count before he came back. Statistics will be reported later."
Mo Yu added at the side: "General, you haven't seen that those Jie clan wolf cubs were burned and fled in all directions. It was really fun. It's a pity that the Jie clan army formed an formation in advance to stop them, otherwise General Mo would have to lead people to kill them. Go to the camp of the Jie tribe’s Great Khan and cut down the stone."
As he spoke, a look of regret appeared on Mo Yu's excited face.
Lu Biao was a little puzzled when he heard that the Jie tribe's army formed their formation in advance, so he hurriedly asked: "General Mo said that the Jie tribe's army formed their formation in advance?"
When Mo Yu was asked this question by Lu Biao, the smile on his face gradually faded a bit, but he still spoke.
"Yes, General, because the fire was relatively large, we couldn't rush into the camp at first. After the fire became a little smaller, we chased all the way along the camp that had been burned by the fire."
"After we fought our way out of the valley, we soon discovered that some of the army had already formed a formation. Since we were not many in number, we did not dare to rush in to pursue them."
Lu Biao secretly wondered why the enemy could form a formation to block the attack so quickly. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the enemy to assemble so quickly. He glanced around at everyone, and when he saw that everyone looked puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions.
Two hours later, Fan Zhi and Jingde returned with their troops. This time they only set fires from a high position on the mountain and did not go down the mountain to pursue them. However, several brothers accidentally fell off the cliff and died.
"General Fan, you are so condescending, can you clearly see the specific situation of last night's battle?" Lu Biao asked.
Fan Zhi thought for a moment and then returned: "Back to General, last night I led my army to ambush on the top of the mountain. At about midnight, there were several loud noises like thunder on dry land.
The general didn't know the reason at the time. He thought it was going to thunder and rain, so he hurriedly ordered arrows to be fired to burn the camp. "
As Fan Zhi spoke, he looked at Tian Ying and the others. He paused and then said, "By the light of the fire, I found that many soldiers in the Jie tribe's camp were awakened and ran out of the camp to check."
Wang Dayong on the side smiled proudly and said: "Hahaha, what's the thunder? It's my captain's heartless cannon. Those Jie people must be scared to death by my heartless cannon."
When Wang Dayong was proud, a soldier from outside ran in and knelt down and said: "Report to the general, the statistics of the enemy's annihilation have been calculated!"
Everyone looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground.
Lu Biao said: "About how many enemies were wiped out?"
"Go back to the general. After counting, a total of more than 4,000 bodies of the Jie tribe were found in the middle of the valley and outside the valley entrance."
There was an uproar in the meeting hall, and all the generals did not believe this was true. After struggling for a whole night, with such a huge fire, only more than 4,000 enemies were wiped out.
Tian Ying stepped forward and grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted: "How is it possible? Have you counted them clearly?"
"General, general, there are really only more than four thousand corpses." The soldier replied tremblingly.
After listening to everyone's reports, Lu Biao seemed to understand something. His face gradually darkened, his brows furrowed, and anger spread from his eyes.
His hand couldn't help but reach for the sword on his waist. This was the sword awarded by His Majesty when the imperial court conferred the title.
Just when everyone was looking at Lu Biao, Lu Biao stood up from his seat, pulled out the sword from his waist with a "squeak" sound, pointed it at Wang Dayong and cursed: "Wang Dayong, my labor and management will chop you to death."
"Fuck, what does it have to do with me?" Dayong retorted, subconsciously taking two steps back.
It turns out that although the terrain of the canyon in front of Xiguan is narrow, Xiguan is still some distance from the mouth of the valley. In addition, because the wind direction is blowing out of the valley, although the sound is heard in Xiguan, it is extremely light, and no one pays attention to it.
However, the position of the valley mouth is like a big trumpet. Depending on the direction of the wind, the huge explosion of the heartless cannon quickly spreads to the upper valley basin outside the valley. The huge sound wakes up many Jie people who are sleeping, so they can avoid caused massive casualties.
Lu Biao briefly stated the conclusion he had reached, and everyone looked at Wang Dayong with a gloomy look!
"I said you guys, don't look at me like that. This, it's not my fault. I didn't know it would be like this." Dayong said a little embarrassed.
"I asked you two or three times what that thing was for, but you just kept it secret. If you just wanted to burn these four or five thousand people to death, why wait until now?" Lu Biao cursed angrily.
He really didn't expect that this thing could cause such a big noise. If he had known earlier, he would never have agreed to Wang Dayong's sneak attack with this so-called heartless cannon.
"Come here, drag Wang Dayong out and behead him?" Lu Biao, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, shouted outside the hall.
Dayong was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Damn it, Lu Biao, are you serious?"
"How can you tolerate your childishness on the battlefield! Someone is here!"
Seeing that Lu Biao was serious about it, Dayong immediately surrendered and said: "Brother Biao, brother Biao, don't be angry. We are brothers. I am here to help you guard Xiguan under the order of the prince!"
Tian Ying saw that the situation was a bit embarrassing, so he said: "General, calm down, although this attack on the camp did not cause a fatal blow to the enemy's army, it did a big blow to the enemy's morale.
Especially the one who runs without conscience is really powerful and will be needed to defend the city in the future, so let’s spare Brother Dayong this time. "
Mo Yu also said: "Yes, General, Captain Wang didn't mean it. I have seen the destructive power of this heartless cannon, which is much more powerful than a catapult. I will need it in the future, so I spared him this time." Bar."
Lu Biao sat back on his seat and glanced at Dayong with an annoyed look.
"If the soldiers hadn't interceded for you, I would have chopped off your head today."
"Yes, yes, thank you General Lu for not killing me, and also thank you to the generals," Dayong responded hurriedly.
"Brother Dayong, you'd better explain the unscrupulous cannon to everyone, so as to avoid uncontrollable situations in the future." Tian Ying reminded.
Seeing this, Wang Dayong looked at Lu Biao with a troubled expression.
After calming down, Lu Biao seemed to understand something. It wasn't that Dayong didn't want to say it, but he didn't want to say it. This thing must be a life-saving thing made by King Yan. If the Jie clan army hadn't massively attacked Xiguan, Dayong would definitely not have been allowed to lead it. Came here.
Although the current general in Xiguan is Lu Biao, no one can tell the identities of the deputy general and ten generals below.
On the surface, they now obey Lu Biao, the newly-consecrated General of Zhenguan, but secretly they serve His Majesty, the Xue family, or the Zhang family.
But now that this matter has been seen by others, it must be impossible to hide it. Lu Biao nodded indicatively.
Dayong didn't insist anymore and gave a rough explanation of the purpose of this heartless cannon.
