Chapter 1462 Siege, Heroes [3]
Ah, itchy!
They can drag anything into the realm of gods.
The officers and soldiers who had contracted the disease were also quite ill. After hearing this, he did not investigate further, but simply ordered his troops to get to work.
but……
Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!
At the forefront of the poisoning position, enemy drums thundered, and enemy sentries on the bridge shouted urgently: "Report! Enemy attack! Wei soldiers are coming on horseback, carrying a large flag that says 'Peace talks in exchange for prisoners'!"
The reports were relayed back and forth to the rear of the poisoning site, reaching Xiqin Erqin directly. Xiqin Erqin still didn't want to pay attention, but the Second Prince, fearing that Xiqin Erqin and his men would fail again, sent his elite guards to set up sentries twenty meters behind Xiqin Erqin to keep watch.
Upon hearing this military intelligence, the junior officer in charge turned pale: "Quickly report this military intelligence to the Second Prince."
Thump thump thump!
"The Divine Envoy of the Rong Royal Clan has ordered that the Western Dead Soldiers enter the battle to intercept and kill the Liang Wei soldiers who are bringing prisoners!" The Divine Envoy of the Rong Royal Clan, holding the Divine Envoy's command flag, rushed straight to Xi Qin Erqin and cursed him: "Fool! This is Liang Wei's plan to lead prisoners into battle! Don't you see? Liang Wei wants to destroy the source of the Fire Flame Poison. Liang Wei has a long-range attack weapon called Heavenly Thunder!"
With such a devastating weapon, Liang Wei, upon learning of the military situation, instead of rushing into the poison array to kill Liang Wei, he only reported the military situation up the chain of command, showing extreme cowardice and a desire to live.
"You killed the soldiers who died in the grain supply depot, and your son Xiliu'er too! The gods don't need such burdens! These are the exact words of the leader of the divine envoy's supervisory team, Rong Huangzu!"
Did you hear that? Those are the exact words of the Molten Royal Family. It's clear that the Molten Royal Family is furious to the extreme.
Thump thump thump!
A whoosh, the sound of enemy drums came from behind. It was because the second prince of the enemy had received a report from Dong Mangfu's confidant that something was wrong with the Wei army coming to deliver prisoners at this time. In order to ensure the success of the poisoning plan, he hurriedly sent a hundred dead soldiers to help.
"Xiqin Erqin, by order of the Second Prince, immediately send a thousand western soldiers to accompany us into the poison-poisoning position to intercept and kill the grain transporting prisoners, in order to protect the Firefly Poison. The Firefly Poisoning operation cannot fail again, or you will be dead!" The officers and soldiers under the Second Prince coldly gave the order and rushed towards the poison-poisoning position without stopping.
Seeing this, Xiqin Erqin was terrified and dared not push all military affairs to the east anymore. He directly called on A Lie: "A Lie, my brother and protector, please lead the death squad into battle this time. After we successfully destroy Wei, one-tenth of my fiefdom will belong to your sons."
Royal family members and noble clan leaders are difficult to command; only one's own loyal bodyguards must carry out orders immediately.
"To serve the gods, to serve the Eastern Desert, to serve our king!" Ah Lie accepted the order and immediately called to the fallen soldiers behind him: "Charge! Go and be loyal!"
I don't really want to be loyal, but soldiers who are generals are different from ordinary soldiers in the Eastern Desert. If their master is going to die, they must die too, otherwise they won't survive.
"Heroes, I will take good care of your sons!" Xiqin Erqin promised, then gritted his teeth and shouted, "Kill Xiliu'er and make him serve the Eastern Desert!"
Tsk, not only is there no camaraderie in the Eastern Desert, but there's also no family ties.
"Yes, I will serve west Liuer faithfully!" Ah Lie shouted, also hating west Liuer, this cowardly good-for-nothing.
How dare they survive after being captured?
You've completely disgraced the King of the West!
Is it possible that this is genetic?
A Lie led several hundred soldiers, ten divine messengers to supervise the battle, and the Second Prince's hundred dead soldiers, rushing into the poisonous formation like a whirlwind, just to stop the Wei soldiers delivering prisoners of grain, so as to help the divine will be fulfilled!
"Halt! This is a plague-stricken area. If you, the grain and Wei soldiers, come here, you will surely be infected!" The enemy soldiers on duty at the front of the moat bridge shouted at the grain and Wei soldiers on the other side.
They even fired arrows, intending to kill the Wei soldiers who were supplying grain.
But they were already sick, their bodies ached, and they were too weak to draw their bows fully. Even if they released their arrows, the lack of full draw affected the range, and the arrows could not reach the assassins and eunuchs.
Commander Feng and his men were still at the rear of the bridge, bows drawn and facing the enemy, shouting in the enemy's language: "We've come to deliver prisoners! Don't you want your little prince Xiliu'er?!"
If you can't afford it, kill it quickly.
Hehe, I won't kill him, I even brought him here for you.
The assassin eunuchs ignored the enemy's shouts and retreated several meters before whipping their horses and charging forward like shooting stars, leaping onto the moat bridge.
After navigating the newly paved wooden plank bridge in the middle and rear sections with great difficulty... Bang bang bang bang bang, thud thud thud thud!
Twenty-two warhorses galloped to the bridge on the poisonous side, knocking down a row of enemy troops positioned at the front of the bridge, and trampling over their bodies as they charged toward the enemy's poisonous position.
Thump thump thump!
"Enemy attack! The Wei soldiers have crossed the bridge! Quickly launch a long-range attack to kill the Wei soldiers!" Tens of thousands of infected patients in the enemy's poisonous positions shouted.
But they were so sick that they could barely get up and take a few steps, so they could only shout and couldn't get up to fight at all.
"Get out of here, you lowly bastards! We've got the plague, if you don't want to get infected, get out of here now!" This was the only thing the enemy soldiers at the poisoning position could use to scare the assassins and eunuchs.
"Ha," the eunuchs laughed, their gazes sweeping downwards, looking down at the enemy army. "What is this mere plague in front of us assassins?"
All they wanted was death, whether from the plague or from being pierced by a thousand arrows, it made no difference.
"Enemy reinforcements are almost here! Fire the guns!" the two eunuch leaders of the suicide squad ordered.
The three groups of assassin eunuchs immediately sprang into action: one carried the cannon on his shoulder, another stood behind and aimed, and a third stuffed a specially made gunpowder pack into the cannon...
Crack, crack, crack, the brass and iron handle that pulls the cannon...
Bang, bang, bang! First, there was a loud bang, then the entire cannon shook violently, followed by a plume of white smoke.
Something flew out of the gun muzzle and headed straight for the enemy's slaughterhouse.
The assassins and eunuchs don't need to bother finding the source of the poison. The enemy is too monstrous; the slaughterhouse is their source of poison production. Just bombard them.
"The guardian deity bestows fire..."
Rumble rumble rumble!
Before he could finish shouting, three cannon shots exploded, blasting away the three drug-making sites.
The enemy soldiers, equipment, and bags containing meat and poisonous insects that were protecting the source of the poison with their bodies were blown apart, and the source of the poison was scattered in all directions.
"The fireflies have escaped! Ahhh, quickly set fire to burn the fireflies! We can't let them escape! Protect the Eastern Desert army!" A loyal enemy soldier infected with the plague shouted, his voice filled with anguish.
But fleas are so small, yet they can jump so much; you can't just stop them if you want to.
The soldiers who had just arrived nearby heard these words and felt a wave of dizziness, wishing they could commit suicide on the spot... They simply couldn't handle such a mess.
"Catapults! Quickly use the catapults to throw the bagged poison at the gate of Liangwei City! Forget about the fireflies, just throw it now, otherwise the poison will be destroyed, the Divine Order won't be completed, and everyone will be..."
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!
Before the divine messenger and the supervising soldiers could finish their orders, the assassin eunuchs launched another attack, destroying half of the poison source that the enemy had painstakingly cultivated.
"Cannons, aim at the enemy's catapults, push forward, and fire!" the leader of the assassin eunuchs ordered.
The eunuchs under his command immediately carried it out.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The enemy's arrows rained down on the twenty-two men, determined to stop them and destroy the catapults.
Even with arrows stuck in their bodies, the elite eunuchs formed a battle formation and pushed forward, protecting the eunuchs carrying cannons in the center of the formation as they approached the catapults.
Get a few meters closer, within range, and you can blast away all the sources of poison!
