Chapter Eighty-Four: Dusty Skies
"The incense bait has been dropped, and the next thing can only be taken by those who wish to take the bait."
Li Ru clapped his hands and smiled slightly.
"Sir's clever plan, how can there be a reason not to take the bait!"
Li Ru, Cao Ren and Yan Liang were all standing on a flat ground not far from Pokun Valley at the moment.
The vegetation here is not luxuriant and bare. Compared to the Broken Kun Valley, it is a wilderness. And behind the three of them, a full army of 60,000 people, just like children, stood still.
The dust in the sky was caused by the whole 60,000 of them jumping and jumping together there.
"Jump well! Knock it well! ”
Suddenly, Yan Liang, when he turned around, showed a very dissatisfied expression on his face and scolded the soldiers: "You haven't eaten?" No strength at all! ”
"Give me more energy, work harder, don't be lazy!"
Yan Liang was dissatisfied, and immediately startled a partial general on the side! hurriedly urged these soldiers, and now Yan Liang can be said to be the living king of Hades in the army.
A strong person will always be admired by others, and Yan Liang, as a pioneer general, has a terrifying and impressive record.
Thirteen generals were beheaded, three generals were beheaded, nearly a thousand were beheaded, and more than 100 beheaded in each battle. has such a proud record, coupled with Yan Ben's impatience, the habit of scolding the soldiers, and even personally enforcing military law, resulting in the army from top to bottom, everyone is very afraid of Yan Liang.
Suddenly, the drums roared, like thunder. The sky was full of dust, like beacon fire.
"Is it right?"
Yan Liang nodded with satisfaction, eating military pay should have the appearance of eating military salary. How do you fight the enemy with a dead life? Lost three points before the battle!
"Zhaowu, calm down. It's not a good thing to scold the soldiers at every turn. ”
Li Ru shook his head, Yan Liang's fiery temper has to be changed, otherwise it will be easy to have an accident.
"Huh...... Strategist, don't just see me punish them! I usually treat them, but the rewards and punishments are clear, if there is a mistake, it should be punished, and if there is merit, it should be rewarded. I have rewarded them with gold and silver, armor, swords, and even horses, and I have never spared that little bit of possessions! ”
"You say you don't think so?!"
Speaking of this, Yan Liang turned back to those soldiers and asked loudly.
"Yes...... It's ......"
This, the king of Hades has said yes, who dares to say no? This is not the birthday boy eating arsenic, and he is impatient!
"Sir, it seems that the fish have bitten the bait."
Cao Ren, who had not participated in the dialogue, suddenly closed his eyes slightly and reminded Li Ru.
Li Ru hurriedly looked back, only to see bursts of smoke and dust rising in the distance, and it was still approaching.
"Cover your mouth and nose and raise dust!"
All the soldiers stopped, and at the very end of each line was a barrel with a lid on it. The first person opened the lid, revealing a bucket of water and many cloth towels.
"Hurry up! One for each person. ”
The person at the front of each row took out the wet cloth towel and handed it out to everyone. As soon as these people took the cloth, they tied it to their mouths and noses.
"Hurry, hurry, it's all right?"
"Dust!"
Some of the soldiers immediately took out large branches, and the grass and trees were tied together, something like a broom. Flapping and waving on the ground, it wasn't dusty, and the smoke was billowing like a sandstorm.
"Woo......"
Li Ru held the wet snow-white cotton cloth over his mouth and nose, and frowned. Although he came up with the strategy, and this kind of arrangement was also planned by him with Cao Ren and Yan Liang, he never thought that it would be so painful.
"Ahem...... Hold on to it! ”
Now it was said that Li Ru was a little unbearable, even if it was blocked by a cloth towel. It was also full of earthy smell, the throat and nose were itchy, and the eyes were also very uncomfortable, and I wanted to cry.
And at this moment, Qi Kun's army has also come closer.
"General, what the hell is the Northern Army doing?"
He Miao was puzzled, and he couldn't understand which one was going on in the north, so he had to ask Qi Kun for advice.
But looking at the smoke and dust like fog, Qi Kun himself was stunned. After so many years of marching and fighting, it was the first time Qi Kun had seen such a situation.
The sky was full of smoke and dust, so that Qi Kun didn't talk about people, but he couldn't even see the ground clearly.
"General, what should I do? In this case, should we stand still first? ”
The smoke and dust in the sky not only obstructed the view, but also continued to spread. After a while, Qi Kun's vision was greatly hindered.
"Still? Did it work? ”
Qi Kun immediately asked He Miao rhetorically.
"The smoke is so big, they are ...... Cough! I'm determined to fight us. It's impossible to retreat at the moment, so you can only give up the formation and fight! ”
Qi Kun endured the strange feeling in his throat and shouted behind him: "Beat the drum, the whole army presses!"
"Knock knock!"
"March!"
The rapid sound of the drum represents a quick attack, that is, the abandonment of the formation. All the soldiers immediately marched briskly and rushed to the center of the smoke.
Bear with it a little longer, endure it a little longer, wait a minute, it's good to be done! That's what everyone thinks. Not only Qi Kun's side, but also Cao Ren's side is the same, such a big amount of smoke, even if they have made some preparations. It's also quite uncomfortable.
"Is this the beating of drums? Stop all action! ”
"Ah......h
"Ah......h
The dust gradually rose and slowly fell. There were screams in his ears from time to time, all of which made Qi Kun feel very satisfied, this battle was won!
"How do you feel like something is wrong there?"
Standing on the small dirt slope, Chen Qu looked at the fading smoke and dust, and always felt that something was wrong.
"General, should we go and help?"
A lieutenant beside Chen Qu asked a little unwillingly.
Seeing that this battle is about to end, their cavalry troops in the past, didn't they have the most beheadings that time? Wasn't that the biggest credit? But now the most critical battle is almost over, and I and the others haven't even pulled out the knife, which is really unwilling!
"No, we were ordered to hold this place. Before there is a major event, or a military order, don't act rashly! ”
Chen Qu shook his head, signaling them not to worry, and at the same time staring intently at the gradually dissipating smoke, he always felt that there was a big secret under this smoke, or something strange.
"Yes."
The lieutenant on the side immediately became listless, as if something 'important' was missing.
"...... that?"
The smoke faded away, revealing its true face. Chen Qu looked at the scene in front of him, and the whole person was stunned.
"Not good! Come with me! ”
