564 More than half of the loss

Shi Wei looked at the corpses all over the ground, the death of the soldiers was very terrifying, their expressions were distorted, their bodies shrunk into a ball, and their complexion was as black as coal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What the hell is going on? Calling the captain of the firehead army" Shi Wei asked with a gloomy face, and when he was enjoying the food made by his private chef, suddenly the adjutant came to report that many soldiers had been poisoned and died.

"Brigade commander, don't care about my business" A fat firehead ran over, trembling with the fat on his body and said: "The ingredients used in the meals are all brought from the quartermaster, and we used to eat this batch, there is no problem."

The adjutant of the "report brigade commander" said in a deep voice: "There are several kinds of poison among these soldiers, most of them are fatal, and some of them vomit and diarrhea, their bodies are seriously dehydrated, and some of them are paralyzed and incapacitated.

"Yes, brigade commander" The fat firehead army seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "This has nothing to do with my people, and the firehead army has also poisoned several people."

Shi Wei's face was gloomy and he said, "What is the death toll, have you counted it?"

The adjutant said: "According to the statistics, there are 634 people who have caused death, 245 people who vomit and diarrhea, and 196 people who have numb limbs."

Shi Wei roared angrily: "What, the effort of one meal has cost me a thousand people, why don't you immediately give the poisoned people the antidote pill, causing more than 600 people to die, what are you eating?"

The adjutant said with a wry smile: "The time of death is too short, those people just realized the poisoning, and those who died have already taken the pill, the detoxification effect is very good, it won't take too long, they will be able to recover as before"

Shi Wei's heart was bleeding, originally this was just a very simple task, a brigade to encircle and suppress an incomplete squadron, it can be completed simply, who knows that before he caught up with those people, more than 600 people died on his side, and they were poisoned, and the most hateful thing is how people poisoned it, no one knows until now.

"Pass my order, before every meal, try to see if you can eat it" Shi Wei said hatefully: "Why am I so careless, why am I not poisoned"

Ling Xiaotian in the distance said to himself: "Of course I want to keep your life, if you die, these soldiers of yours will definitely be birds and beasts and flee in all directions, don't I have no chance to annihilate you completely, if I miss you, you must be the first"

……

After waiting for more than an hour, the poisoned soldiers returned to normal, and Shi Wei ordered to set off together, and in this more than an hour, he asked his subordinates to bury the bodies of the dead soldiers on the spot.

"Everyone must be careful, I believe that the previous thing was done by a person named Xiao Tian" Shi Wei explained: "This person is very evil, and when he and his men are found, they will be broken into thousands of pieces to avenge their dead brothers."

"Revenge," a group of soldiers shouted at the top of their voices.

Ling Xiaotian was now directly above them, but there were clouds covering him, and those people didn't notice his existence.

"Grandma's, it's only a fifth of the dead" Ling Xiaotian said very dissatisfied: "I originally thought that laxatives could kill a few, but I didn't expect their detoxification pill to be so effective, it was easy to give a solution, I knew that the poison was so effective, I should have prepared more, and I would have done it all at once, now it's okay, they have a sense of vigilance, poisoning is no longer good."

The old immortal pouted and said: "Be content, boy, the soldiers killed more than 600 people on the other side without blood, nearly the strength of a regiment, if you fight with real knives and guns, 600 people stand still and let you cut at will, and you can also tire you to death."

……

The sun set, after the meal was ready, no one was willing to eat first, Huotoujun pulled out the silver needle from a piece of meat in the pot, the silver needle did not turn black at all, and then he said with confidence: "Everyone can eat with confidence, there is no poison"

Everyone just started to eat, and many people were pretending to be biting and gnawing in big mouthfuls, but in fact, they didn't swallow it in their stomachs at all, they were waiting for those who really ate it to make sure that it was not poisonous.

Ling Xiaotian sat on the mound not far away, munched on a leg of mutton that the old immortal had just stolen from there, wiped a handful of oil on his lips, and said with a smile: "Those people have all become frightened birds, Lao Tzu eats all their food, they don't dare to eat it, hehe The same method Lao Tzu will never use it twice, wait for them to fall asleep for a while, Lao Tzu will give them a fire to burn the company camp, you are responsible for 'raining', I am responsible for setting fire, wahahaha"

The old immortal didn't understand what "rain" was, but he didn't ask much, because he would know in a moment.

The soldiers who had been running for a day began to sleep, and the patrol in charge of the night kicked them awake one by one and asked them to go back to the tent, to be honest, this season, sleeping outside is much more comfortable than sleeping in the tent, but the army has the rules of the army, and there are rules that must be followed, such as sleeping in a tent.

When the snoring was rampant, it was the signal of the beginning of the old immortal's action, and he flew over each tent and sprinkled the unscented fire oil on the canvas tent, which was called "rain".

Ling Xiaotian was leisurely eating fruit, with a strong crossbow beside him, and a ball of cotton soaked in fire oil was tied to the crossbow arrow.

"Okay boy," said the old immortal flying back.

"Okay, it's time for me to set the fire" Ling Xiaotian stood up with a smile, spread his wings and flew into the sky, and after reaching the range of the crossbow arrow, he lit the cotton and pulled the trigger, and the rocket shot quickly towards a tent, and it suddenly caught fire. The rate of burning is so fast that there is no word to describe it.

"Old immortal, you go up there and continue to add fire to them" Ling Xiaotian said: "We have the oil to burn these bitches."

Immediately, screams rang out one after another, and naked soldiers rushed out of their tents......

……

30,000 people were disheveled, all panting, and the sky in the distance was white.

Keno looked at the 30,000 "elite" troops in front of him, sighed, and said to the adjutant behind him: "Do you think their arrival will be useful to us?"

"It's useless, and it will drag us back," replied the adjutant, "If they were to defend the city wall, it would only take 10,000 horses to charge at a time, and the back pass would be someone else's."

When the two of them spoke, they didn't have anything taboo, and it can be said that they deliberately said it to these people.

"Don't be unconvinced," Keno saw disdain in the eyes of those men, and he pointed to the location of the field infirmary, "You can go and visit it first, and tomorrow morning you will see what the real war looks like, and you're welcome, you'll pee your pants then."

To be honest, these 30,000 people are undoubtedly a burden, but in any case, they are sent by the empire, so they will not return it, Keno can not give face to these soldiers, but the face of the empire must be given, if you rashly "return", you will not want to get another reinforcement in the future.

On the way back to the big tent, the adjutant asked, "Lord General, how are you going to use these soldiers?"

Keno sneered and said: "It's really irresponsible to let them come here, in the defense of the city, the most taboo thing is the addition of new soldiers, no matter how many people there are, it will be in vain, not only will it not be effective, but it will greatly affect the morale of other people Since the people above sent such a group of cannon fodder over, I will use them as cannon fodder, no matter how bad the 30,000 people are, they can consume 10,000 or 20,000 people on the other side."

"What do you mean ......"

"Don't Say It"

……

At dawn, a group of soldiers with black faces threw the bodies of their comrades into the pit, many of the bodies were unrecognizable, they were burned to death, and most of the living soldiers had burn marks, a fire became their nightmare, many were burned to death in their dreams or smoked to death.

Shi Wei didn't see any expression on his face, to say that the poisoning incident at noon yesterday didn't attract enough attention from him, this fire woke him up.

"Is the number of losses counted?" Shi Wei asked.

The adjutant replied: "The death toll is eight hundred and seventy-one, and the wounded are countless"

"Plus the poisoned, which means we've lost half of our staff, right?" Shi Wei asked coldly.

The adjutant nodded and continued: "And we lost three-quarters of our horses, and our armor and weapons were basically burned, but fortunately, when we came out, the baggage officer prepared a lot, so that we would not fight the enemy with burning sticks."

When Shi Wei heard the words "burning sticks", he felt very uncomfortable, you must know that there are burning sticks everywhere here

"Brigade Commander, what are we going to do next?" The adjutant asked.

Shi Wei glanced at the big pit in front of him and said: "Pacify the soldiers, stabilize the morale of the army, let everyone have a good rest after doing these things, no one has slept well at night, and send another herald to ask for help at Qianguan, it is best to send some capable soldiers, now it seems that the numerical advantage is not an advantage"

"Will you tell the Lord General everything that happened here?" The adjutant asked cautiously.

Shi Wei sighed and said, "Of course, there is no need to hide the truth, because paper can't keep the fire, we have suffered such a big loss, and we haven't even been able to see Xiao Tian's shadow."
