662 This Move Is Really Awesome

The military doctor had no choice but to tell the generals the truth.

He also asked them to think of a way to get the Imperial Capital to send over a few imperial physicians who were skilled in detoxification.

The generals wanted to vomit blood after hearing this.

“Xiao Hanzheng is so despicable. How could he put poison on his sword?”

!!
“That’s right. He actually used such underhanded tactics in a battle between two armies. He’s too shameless.”

“I have never seen such a sinister commander.”

They couldn’t help but curse Xiao Hanzheng.

Although the military doctor was also cursing in his heart, he thought that his commander had poisoned the Third Prince. The other party was just returning the poison. They were all equally shameless.

Of course, he didn’t dare to say this out loud.

Xiao Hanzheng had sent spies to Ge Kingdom’s military camp, so although the military doctor and a few generals did not tell anyone about Ye Lui Donghe’s poisoning, the news still spread.

For a moment, the soldiers of Ge Kingdom were in a state of panic.

Especially after seeing the small black balls descending from the sky, many people were even more terrified.

When the generals found out, they were all furious. They hurriedly sent people to catch the person who spread the news, but he ran away ahead of time and they couldn’t catch him.

This made them feel even more aggrieved and humiliated.

They had never suffered such a huge loss in a battle between two armies.

However, no matter how aggrieved they were, there was nothing they could do. They could only send a message back in a hurry and ask the emperor to send a royal doctor who was good at detoxification.

The next afternoon, the soldiers of Daliang followed Xiao Hanzheng to the place where the Ge Kingdom army was stationed.

After his men spread the news, not only did they escape, but they also drew out the location and sent it to him.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sky was almost dark. Seeing the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the old general and the others had a solemn expression.

The old general stroked his beard and said: “This should be the campsite that Ye Lui Donghe chose before he fainted. This terrain is not easy for us to attack!”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “Although this terrain is easy to defend and hard to attack, it has its disadvantages. Look at where they are. Are they in the wind?”

Before he came here, he had already understood the terrain map, and with his understanding of Ye Lui Donghe, he had long expected that the other party would set up camp here.

Since he had brought people to launch a surprise attack, he had naturally made preparations.

Hearing his words, the old general and the others also realized that the place where the other party was at was indeed a wind vent.

The old general’s eyes lit up. “Shall we use fire?”

Once a place like this started to burn, it would be difficult to put out the fire since it was in the wind.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “That’s right. Fire!”

“We’ll just wait here for the rabbits to come out, and ambush the people who escape,” he added.

The old general and the others were impressed by Xiao Hanzheng. “We will listen to Lord Xiao!”

They had been fighting for a long time, so they realized that Xiao Hanzheng must have studied the terrain well. He was a natural talent!

Everyone did not go up the mountain but hid on the way down.

Xiao Hanzheng asked the team of arsonists who had been prepared to go up the mountain after dark.

In the Ge Kingdom’s military camp, the morale of the soldiers was relatively low, and they were all a little listless.

Suddenly…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following that, arrows flew over from the side. Soon, the Ge Kingdom’s tent was on fire.

“Ah, enemy attack, enemy attack!”

“It’s on fire! Put out the fire!”

Panic could be heard from the Ge Kingdom’s tent. Many soldiers rushed out to put out the fire.

However, these arrows were specially modified by Xiao Hanzheng. They were all coated with oil and tied with flammable materials.

Coupled with the strong wind blowing from the wind, the fire became more and more intense and could not be extinguished at all.

When Ye Lui Donghe was unconscious, the most senior general here shouted, “Charge down and retreat toward our border city.”

He wasn’t stupid. He had already guessed that there would be an ambush from the Daliang army.

But now that the camp had been burned down, they could only rush out and escape.

However, he left behind a third of his elites and brought Ye Lui Donghe up the mountain.

Going down would only lead to death. If they wanted to protect the marshal and themselves, they could only hope to escape by climbing over the mountain.

As for the soldiers who were ordered to retreat, they were just pawns that were deliberately thrown out to attract the attention of the Daliang army.

His calculations were right. After those people rushed down, they were greeted by waves of arrow rain and rolling stones.

Finally, it was the butcher’s knife of the soldiers of Daliang.

These Ge Kingdom soldiers who had rushed down were either killed or captured. Not a single one had escaped.

Two hours later, the battle ended.

After cleaning up, the deputy reported, “Lord Xiao, there are no Ye Lui Donghe and the two generals among these people.”

Xiao Hanzheng was not surprised. “They must have escaped up the mountain.”

“Should we chase after them?” the deputy general asked.

Xiao Hanzheng waved his hand. “No need. Ye Lui Donghe is already unconscious and the escaping team is nothing to worry about.”

“I’ve also arranged for people to ambush them on the other side of the mountain. They’ll suffer another wave of casualties.”

“There’s no need to capture the unconscious Ye Lui Donghe now. It’s more advantageous for us to let him go.”

“They haven’t confirmed that Ye Lui Donghe can no longer fight. Ge Kingdom will not send a new commander to take charge for the time being.”

The three most powerful generals of the Ge Kingdom, the North King was under house arrest in the capital of Daliang, Ye Lui Donghe was unconscious, and the young War God Prince Ye Lui De had been captured by them last time. After being redeemed by the Ge Kingdom, his confidence had suffered a setback, and he had yet to walk out of the shadow.

Ge Kingdom could not send out a powerful commander now, so they would probably hope to save Ye Lui Donghe.

Therefore, not only could they not capture him, they had to deliberately let the general of Ge Kingdom bring Ye Lui Donghe back to the border city.

Then he squinted and said, “This way, the initiative to attack is in our hands.”

The old general and the others roughly understood what he meant.

It was equivalent to letting Ye Lui Donghe temporarily delay Ge Kingdom’s footsteps.

Powerful, this move was truly powerful!

They could not help but sigh in their hearts. They were really old.

No, Xiao Hanzheng had calculated everything. He was too powerful, not that they were old. Cough, cough…

Xiao Hanzheng led the army back to border city.

On the other side, the remaining Ge Kingdom troops that had escaped down the mountain were ambushed again, and they lost about half of their elites. Only then did they protect the unconscious Ye Lui Donghe and flee to their border town.

After a night’s rest in the border city, Xiao Hanzheng led the army to the border.

At the border, the female soldiers led by Xi Rong were fighting against another army from Ge Kingdom. This was a strategy that Ye Lui Donghe had already planned.

Xiao Hanzheng calculated the time and the news that kept coming to him told him that Xi Rong could not hold on any longer. They had to go to the rescue as soon as possible and catch the Ge army off guard.

Shi Qingluo left with Xiao Hanzheng.

When she left, the soldiers who still had to continue guarding the border city were all reluctant to part.

If Princess Fu Bao left, they wouldn’t be able to enjoy the good fortune on her.

Most importantly, the steamed buns and canned meat were gone. They were so heartbroken…
