Chapter 1435 Siege, Rescuing Da Gan
"Ha!" Jiang Dalang let out a cold, disdainful laugh. The long dagger in his hand gleamed with a chilling white light as he pointed it at Bei Qi De Kui, Xi Qin Er Qin, Xi Yan, and Dong Mang Fu and his son. He taunted them in the enemy's language: "Don't you Eastern Desert people boast of being heroes? Then come and fight me one-on-one. If you lose, you die. If you win, you can not only kill me, but also take back the head of your Fourth Prince. How about it? Do you dare? Do you have the guts?!"
"You bastard Liang Wei, do you think we're fools?... Shameless Liang Wei Jiang has run away again! Quick, fire the arrows and kill him!!"
Before Bei Qide Kui could finish speaking, Jiang Dalang and the others immediately retreated and slid into the tunnel.
Bei Qi De Kui was stunned for a moment before he realized that the reason why the killing god Liang Wei Jiang appeared and wasted words with them was to give Liang Wei soldiers time to retreat into the tunnel.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Arrows rained down on the tunnel entrance, and in the blink of an eye, the area within five meters of the entrance was filled with arrows.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The pine oil fire pot was smashed near the tunnel, and flames shot up, burning the area within ten meters of the tunnel entrance.
Slap slap slap! west Yan grabbed Dong Mangfu and slapped him repeatedly, leaving Dong Mangfu stunned.
Seeing this, west Yan became even angrier, kicked him to the ground, and cursed, "Who told you to throw the pine oil fire pot? The fire at the tunnel entrance won't kill Wei Jiang and the grain rationman, but it will hinder our army from pursuing them! Ah!"
"Put out the fire quickly... Charge straight through the fire line, rush into the tunnel and kill Liang Weijiang to avenge the Fourth Prince!" Bei Qi De Kui hurriedly gave the order, also commanding his bodyguard: "Kui Zuo, you lead the fallen soldiers first. Remember, if Liang Weijiang escapes today, a group of people from the north, west, and east will be sacrificed!"
The charlatan prince is no pushover; after suffering such a crushing defeat, he will surely kill to uphold the army's prestige.
"Yes! Protect the dead soldiers, charge, kill Wei Jiang!" Kui Zuo strode into the fire, raising his fist twice behind him.
Two hundred dead soldiers immediately followed, charging the line of fire and sliding into the tunnel.
"Western heroes, charge for three hundred!" Xiqin Erqin ordered, his hatred for Jiang Dalang evident in his words.
Dong Mie Wei hurriedly ordered, "Dong Gui Fu Wang Shu, quickly rush into the tunnels and kill Wei Jiang who is supplying grain!"
Dong Guifu is not dead yet, but due to the resistance of Cao Dong'er and the incompetence of Dong Mangfu and his son, he no longer has the heart to be loyal to Dongmo.
But he still rallied his troops, who charged into the fire line and headed towards the tunnel.
???
Well, the tunnel entrance is only half a meter wide. Are you trying to block yourselves up?
What's even funnier is that they always forget the lessons learned...
"Poisonous smoke! Liang Weijiang has released poisonous smoke again! Get out of the tunnel quickly!" Kui Zuo's soldiers shouted, and inside the tunnel, a new battlefield had already begun.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh, boom boom boom boom, puff puff puff, hiss hiss hiss!
The sounds of exploding weapons, stabbing arrows, and slicing flesh echoed throughout the tunnel.
Forced into a corner, Kui Zuo's dead soldiers had no choice but to sprinkle deadly poison on themselves before they died, hoping to perish together with Jiang Dalang and the others.
However, the tunnels under the barricades were carefully dug by the Wei army for killing the enemy. Jiang Dalang and his men knew the location of the hidden mechanisms and secret doors. As soon as the poison powder was taken out, the words "Run through the secret doors" were heard. The Wei soldiers immediately pressed the three nearest secret door mechanisms.
Click, click, click, the door opens, and people slide through the hidden door into the new tunnel.
The highly toxic powder was left in this section of the tunnel. The enemy soldiers who were crammed into the tunnel all suffocated after a few breaths, and the tunnel was filled with greedy gasps and gasps.
Climb, climb back!
However, the tunnel entrance was already blocked. Due to poisoning, the enemy soldiers were slow to move and fainted after struggling for a short time. Soon, they bled from all seven orifices and convulsed uncontrollably.
More than a hundred enemy soldiers died, filling the tunnel completely. Only then did the enemy soldiers discover the truth and report in alarm: "Western King, people are dead! All the heroes of the Eastern Desert who went down into the tunnel are dead! General Kui Zuo is still inside the tunnel!"
As Dong Guifu reported, a secret sense of satisfaction welled up inside him: Hahaha, you Eastern Desert tribes bullied the East, you deserve to be taught a lesson by those bastards from Liangwei!
Xiqin Erqin, Xiyan, and Beiqi Dekui were all shocked and turned pale. They hurriedly asked, "Kui Zuo, quickly ask if Kui Zuo is still alive! Pull Kui Zuo out of the tunnel, he is my first guard!"
"Hey, the Wei army has already killed so many of your guards, one more won't make a difference. Just consider him dead, after all, he's really dead." Before he died, Kui Zuo couldn't believe he would die from poisoned by his own men... It was too absurd, so absurd that when he saw the dead soldier pull out the poison, he was stunned and couldn't stop him in time!
Thump thump thump!
The enemy's war drums sounded, clattering and pounding, as a cavalry unit charged into the vicinity with a strong wind; it was the divine messenger's command team.
The squad leader's gaze swept coldly over Xiqin Erqin and his men, and he asked in a chilling tone, "Where is Liang Weijiang? Wasn't he supposed to be here?!"
The news that Jiang Dalang had appeared with the Fourth Prince's head in the blink of an eye had already spread, which was why the divine messenger team that had been keeping an eye on the poisoning site was able to arrive.
But they didn't see Jiang Dalang, nor the head of the Fourth Prince. They only saw a large group of Mongol soldiers from the Eastern Desert, and dozens of Wei soldiers' corpses.
In battles where one is trapped in enemy territory, how can there be no deaths? It's just that those who died weren't people with names like Commander Zhong.
The divine messenger's command team was not to be offended, so Bei Qide Kui and his men hurriedly reported the battle situation on their side.
The squad leader laughed in anger: "Record their incompetence and report it to the Crown Prince for a judgment!"
"Now, all Eastern Desert soldiers present, heed my command, turn to the poisoning position and slaughter Wei Qianhu, the grain commander who was given divine fire poison!"
"If this Liang Wei Qianhu escapes again, the tribal kings of the North, West, and East will be ready to offer their sons as roast meat!"
The two tribal kings, as well as Bei Qi De Kui, trembled with fear and hurriedly said, "Yes, sir! We will definitely kill Liang Wei Qianhu and salvage our reputation after this defeat!"
"Hmph!" The squad leader snorted and led his team toward the poison-throwing position.
Xiqin Erqin and his men were terrified and hurriedly led all the soldiers present to catch up: "Hurry up and keep up! Don't stop! Charge straight into the poisoning position and chop up Commander Liang Wei!"
They shouted until their voices were almost splitting, but only a small number of the dead soldiers actually rode into the poisoning position.
Xiqinerqin, Xiyan, and the officers all stood outside the poisoning position, directing and observing the battle.
The squad leader didn't say anything. After all, he was the tribal king and a general, so he had to be protected to prevent him from dying from the plague.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, bang bang bang bang, boom boom boom boom boom boom!
At the edge of the poisoning position, the enemy used catapults to launch hundreds of flints at Commander Gan and his men in one go.
As big as a basket, as small as a fist, as fast as a meteorite, they smashed craters into the ground, smashed the slow-moving Wei soldiers into mincemeat, and cracked their heads open.
"Retreat immediately and get out of range!" Commander Gan shouted, but if they retreated any further, they would enter the moat. They also had an important mission: to shoot poison capsules to prevent the enemy from poisoning the city.
"Steady your stance, dodge ranged attacks, and fire!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Dozens of arrows were shot into the sky, but only a dozen or so low-altitude poison vesicles were hit. The other high-altitude poison vesicles were beyond the range of the arrows and could not be hit.
"Send a command arrow to inform the capital city to use catapults to blast the poison sacs down. If the poison sacs have already drifted into the airspace above the city, do not touch them; let them drift out of the city's boundaries on their own!"
"Yes!"
The dead soldiers released command arrows to inform the city, and then fired arrows at the enemy's newly released poison sacs.
Commander Da Gan stared intently at the spot where the poison vesicles were released, his gaze fixed on the scene, clearly planning something big.
Coincidentally, the enemy also wanted to pull off a big heist.
