Hearing the advice of the soldiers under his hands, Tan Wenbo's face turned pale again.

Another hundred thousand!

Of the two million army, more than 1.3 million have fallen so far.

Only about 700,000 men remained.

If he fell on the battlefield of a decisive battle, he would not say anything, but now before the decisive battle, he fell 1.3 million.

If this spreads, his reputation as Tan Wenbo I will be finished.

It's just that he was unwilling, when the grain and grass came back, he obviously sent someone to check, but no toxins were found at that time, why are there toxins now?

Staring at the alchemist, Tan Wenbo gritted his teeth and asked, "Did these toxins only get these toxins in the past two days?"

The alchemist looked at it, groaned slightly, shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, it should have been about five days, just because this toxin is hidden very deeply, and ordinary means can't check it, if it weren't for the fact that I am an alchemist, the soul power is very strong, and I can't find the problem so quickly." ”

"And this toxin ......"

After thinking about it, the alchemist said: "I heard that there are not many alchemists in the Nanyan Kingdom, but there is a powerful physician, it is the imperial physician of the Nanyan Kingdom, named Hua Tuo, and he has good medical skills, so that many seriously injured soldiers in the Nanyan Kingdom have come back to life. ”

"With his medical skills, refining such a toxin should be a breeze. ”

Rumble!

Tan Wenbo's head was like being blown up by thunder, how could he not react yet, he was calculated, calculated by Jia Xu.

"Poison Scholar Jia Xu!"

"Poison, poison, poison!"

"There would be such a degrading method!"

Tan Wenbo looked up to the sky and sighed, his face was still angry, and he was angry at the methods used by Jia Xu.

But deep down, he knew very well that this was not a trivial method, and if he could use it, he would use it.

It's just that the method of poisoning is too difficult.

In particular, it is necessary to poison the grain and grass, because you can't find the right toxin to infect the grain and grass, and it will not be detected.

But the Nanyan Kingdom has Hua Tuo, which makes this plan perfect to the extreme

What can Tan Wenbo do? What else can he do besides looking up to the sky and sighing?

"General!"

Some lieutenants behind Tan Wenbo shouted.

They were worried that Tan Wenbo would lose his fighting spirit if he was hit by Jia Xu's move.

"I'm fine. ”

Tan Wenbo waved his hand, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Order the army, prohibit the consumption of these grains and grasses, and let the warehouses that still have the original grains and grasses distribute all the grains and grasses to various places, reduce a certain amount of supply, and persist as much as possible until the follow-up grains and grasses are delivered." ”

"General, what if Meng Tian's army attacks at this time?" a lieutenant general asked worriedly.

"No, it won't. ”

Tan Wenbo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Meng Tian will definitely wait for a few more days, and he will not send troops to attack when the combat effectiveness of our army is completely low. ”

"This ......"

"Okay, let's go down and give orders!" Tan Wenbo sighed.

At this moment, he seemed to be ten years old.

In his life, he has never had such a grievance happen, and the army of more than one million people has lost its combat effectiveness like this, and it is even more difficult to predict the subsequent life and death.

"I hope the follow-up grain and grass can keep up!"

Tan Wenbo sighed again in his heart, if the follow-up grain and grass could not be supplied in time, he could only find a way to withdraw the troops to ensure the maximum combat effectiveness.

But now, he knows in his heart that it is not easy to supply grain and grass now.

The grain and grass that was enough for the two million army to eat for half a month had already consumed a lot of reserves, and if there was enough food and grass for the army to be transported, it would take at least five days to do it, not counting the time to raise it.

But for five days, can the army under his command hold out for five days?

It's hard, it's so hard!

"Whew!"

Taking a deep breath, Tan Wenbo turned his head to look at the alchemist, and said in a deep voice: "I want you to remove the toxins in these grains and grasses in the shortest possible time!"

"I can't do it. ”

The alchemist shook his head directly and said, "I am an alchemist, not a doctor, let alone a poisoner, and I am not good at detoxification." ”

"You ......"

"General, forgive me for not saying a word, the current situation, even I, a person who does not know how to march and fight, can see that it is not beneficial for the army to continue to stalemate here, and withdrawing troops is the only option. ”

After speaking, the alchemist bowed slightly and turned to leave.

He couldn't solve the problem of the army of the Bailan Kingdom, so he could only leave here now to avoid dying with these people.

Tan Wenbo looked at it and smiled bitterly, how easy is it to withdraw troops?

Meng Tian in Guhe City is not a fool, at this time, as long as he takes away so many poisoned soldiers, it only takes less than 300,000 troops to pursue, and he can leave no piece of armor killed by his army.

Withdrawing troops? That would really be an act of seeking death.

Looking up in the direction of Guhe City, Tan Wenbo muttered: "Jia Xu, Jia Xu, if you do such a scheme, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?"

If Jia Xu knew about him, he would definitely laugh out loud.

Damnation?

Marching and fighting, killing countless people, you say you are afraid of God's punishment?

So what are you going to fight? Why don't you go home and find an alley to beg?

In the valley and the city, Meng Tian and Jia Xu looked at the direction where the army of the Bailan Kingdom was located, with smiles on their faces.

They already knew the situation in the army of the Bailan Kingdom, but Jinyi Wei sent all the news as soon as possible.

"Prime Minister, do you think we should send troops now?" asked Meng Tian with a smile.

After receiving the loss of more than one million combat effectiveness of the army of the Bailan Kingdom, Meng Tian's whole person was excited.

When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled slightly, and said, "Doesn't the general already have a decision? Why ask me again!"

"Haha, I also want to see if I think the same thing as Prime Minister. Meng Tian laughed loudly and said, "It's better to wait for two more days, wait until the enemy's military rations are completely exhausted, and then attack when the people are panicking, and get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Jia Xu also nodded, he also had such an idea in his heart.

"It's just ......" Meng Tian looked at Jia Xu and asked with some doubts: "Prime Minister, when you let Qin Qiong poison, why didn't you just poison people? In this way, the enemy army has lost at least more than one million, but for us, it is a big victory!"

Jia Xu chuckled, looked at the location of the army of the Bailan Kingdom, and said softly: "If we directly kill this million army with poison that kills people, then how can we kill the rest of the army?"

"This ......"

Meng Tian just wanted to ask, but suddenly a light flashed in his heart, and he suddenly realized.

If Jia Xu didn't kill these people and let them have a life, it would be impossible for Tan Wenbo, the lord of the Bailan Kingdom, to give up these soldiers, because once he gave up, it would be a fatal blow to the morale of his army.

If you don't give up, you can only stick to the camp, and after a few days there is no food and grass, the combat effectiveness of the army is low, and it is very simple for the army under your command to break the camp.

This is equivalent to making the more than one million poisoned army a burden to Tan Wenbo, unable to defend it, and unable to give up.
