"Report! General Li!!! Mr. Jia said that although there are many people like me and others, but at this time, we are like a giant beast that has been stripped of its minions and limbs, but it is about to rush to the wolf's den. If it is a normal giant beast, it can be slapped." You can shoot the wolf's den, but now losing claws and limbs, it's like a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by a dog!"

Indeed, more than 4 Liangzhou soldiers were killed by less than 8000 defenders in Tongguan, and they had no power to fight back. It is indeed appropriate to describe it as a tiger falling in Pingyang.

But this time, Guo Si and the first-class generals did not have any objections, and they all acquiesced.Guo Si opened his mouth, but stopped talking. If he didn't care about his face, he would have persuaded Li Cui to retreat immediately.All because of the current battle situation, it is really difficult for Guo Bang to raise his fighting spirit. The Liangzhou army is getting more and more poisoned, and they have no combat power at all. They almost have to pay the price of a dozen soldiers to shoot a soldier of the opponent. If this continues, no amount of troops will be exhausted!

Li Cui glared at Guo Bang viciously, and the hatred for Guo Bang grew deeper and deeper in his heart. This man's success was more than failure. From the last time he conquered Hedong to this time he captured Tongguan, he repeatedly ruined his overall situation.If Li Cui hadn't seen that the two had a deep relationship when they were working together in Liangzhou, he would have killed him long ago to vent his hatred.

"Pass my order, the whole army retreats immediately!"

Li Cui shouted loudly, as soon as his words fell, the swords and shield soldiers who were being thrown back and forth by the defenders on Tongguan immediately retreated crazily. This is the word retreat.

When the defenders on Tongguan saw that the Liangzhou army was about to withdraw, their morale soared. The more than 7000 soldiers were all red-eyed. He pulled the bow string vigorously, and shot out the arrows one by one violently.Dang bang bang bang! !

Countless arrows fell on the shield wall formed by the Liangzhou sword and shield soldiers like a downpour. They were so powerful that after knocking the shields of many Liangzhou sword and shield soldiers into the air, they shot and killed many Liangzhou soldiers.

After several rounds of berserk arrow attacks, the Liangzhou army finally withdrew from the shooting range of the Tongguan defenders, and rushed towards the foot of the mountain behind in chaos.

At this time, Guan Yu stepped towards Wen Han quickly, without him needing to speak, Wen Han already knew what was on his mind.Wen Han squinted his knife-like eyes and shook his head at Guan Yu.

"I was in the formation of the Liangzhou Army just now, and saw the flag with the word 'Li'. Under Dong Zhuo's command, the one surnamed Li who can be a general is undoubtedly Li Cui or Li Ru. Li Ru is treacherous and cunning, full of schemes. And under Li Cui's command, there is an expert who is even more terrifying than Li Ru. So no matter who is the general, we need to be extremely cautious.

If the second brother wants to lead the army to chase and kill him at this time, he is afraid that he will be ambushed. "

Guan Yu heard Wen Han's serious tone, so he nodded to express his understanding.Afterwards, Wen Han ordered the soldiers to extinguish the lit straw outside the gate with water, and then ordered the soldiers to drink the medicinal soup that had been prepared.These medicinal soups can detoxify sulfur. The main drug of this medicinal soup was discovered by Wen Han near the sulfur mines.

Wen Han is a top spy in later generations, and he has dealt with poisons a lot on weekdays. He understands that in any area with poisonous substances, if the surrounding creatures and vegetation can coexist with them, it means that there must be some kind of interaction between it and the poisonous substances. restrained relationship.There must be something detoxifying near the poison!

And on the mountainside, Jia Xu stared at the direction of Tongguan on the top of the mountain for a while, and after a while, the faint smile on the corner of his mouth was put away, and he murmured lightly.

"It seems that the champion of this article is really cautious. Such a good time, I didn't send an army to chase after him, but I waited for a long time in vain. That's all."

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the burnt straw and grabbed a handful. The black ash contained some half-burned yellow powder.Jia Xu frowned, squeezed the yellow powder with her hands, and then smelled it.

"Huh? This seems to be sulfur. It turns out that this yellow smoke is emitted after burning sulfur."

After Jia Xu thought for a while, he waved his hand, and then the two soldiers and horses who were ambushing on the mountain road ran out slowly.

"There's no need to wait. Let's go back, the champion of this article probably won't come after him."

When Jia Xu returned to Dazhai at the foot of the mountain, Li Cui greeted him at the gate of the village, looking at him expectantly.Jia Xu shook her head, and Li Cui couldn't help but feel powerless.Originally, he thought that Jia Xu could win a round for him, annihilate some Tongguan defenders, and relieve the pressure for the next battle.

"The champion of this article is really so good, he would guess that we have an ambush?"

"Well. He was born in a poor family. Under the current situation where there is no high-rank family and no low-rank family, he can get mixed up with the governor of a county. Of course, there is something special about him. Let's not talk about the champion of this article, let's wait. Or take care of yourself first.

General Li, after our soldiers came back, has the poisoning situation eased? "

"After leaving those yellow smoke screens, the poisoning situation has eased somewhat, but the fatigue and dizziness are still very serious. And most of them still vomit, and some even vomited yellow bile. .If you can't find the antidote, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight in the next few days."

"General Li, don't worry, I've found the source of the poison. Please, General Li, immediately send a few troops with relatively low levels of poisoning around here to look for places with sulfur mines nearby, and then collect the herbs around them."

As Jia Xu said, he reached out and took out a pile of yellow powder from his sleeve. Li Cui looked at it, and then caught the yellow powder in his hand. It was sulfur.

Li Cui's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect the sulfur to be so poisonous when it burned.

"General Li, please seize the time. If you are too late, I'm afraid Champion Wen will be one step ahead of us and burn these antidotes. However, I think there may not only be one place in this area that has this brimstone. General Li will tell them to search carefully later. If we want to break through Tongguan, this antidote is indispensable!"

"Okay! I'll go down and order immediately!!"

Li Cui's expression sank, and he understood the reason behind it. After saluting Jia Xu respectfully, he turned and left.After Li Cui left, Jia Xu rubbed her sore temples and began to think about the next step.

Half an hour later, several light cavalry teams rushed out of Liangzhou Army Dazhai and rushed to the mountains near Tongguan to find places with sulfur mines.

And sure enough, just as Jia Xu expected, Wen Han sent a troop to collect enough medicinal herbs, and was about to burn the rest of the medicinal herbs. Unexpectedly, they met one of the light cavalry teams sent by Li Cui. , because the soldiers and horses of the Wenhan faction carried a lot of medicinal herbs, they fled after hastily igniting the surrounding vegetation.

The remaining Qingqi team quickly extinguished the fire, collected the remaining medicinal herbs, and returned to Dazhai.And Li Cui's other light cavalry teams also found sulfur mines in several different areas. After collecting the medicinal herbs nearby, it was already the next morning when they returned to Dazhai.

Because Li Cui was worried, he almost stayed up all night. When he saw the troops he sent back to collect the medicinal herbs, he waited several hours to prepare the medicinal soup. After drinking the medicinal soup, all the soldiers were poisoned. The situation has been greatly alleviated.Li Cuicai put Gao Xuan's heart at ease, and went back to his account to rest.

On the other side, under Tongguan, nearly thousands of people were recovering the arrows in the vicinity.These arrows were either inserted into the soil, or among the corpses, or among the nearby trees.

For the defenders in Tongguan at this time, arrows are their life, because they all know that there will be more tragic offensive and defensive battles.As the defenders, once the arrows are exhausted, they are almost certain to lose.

On the wall of Tongguan, Wen Han frowned deeply.When he knew that one of Li Ru or Jia Xu must be in the Liangzhou army, he immediately woke up.These two people counted everything, and they should soon find out that he used sulfur, and then count a lot from then on, and then find the antidote step by step.Therefore, just in case, Wen Han asked people to burn the herbs immediately after picking enough herbs.

And from the officers and soldiers who came back from picking the medicine last night and reported it, it was as Wen Han guessed, that the Liangzhou army was indeed looking for the antidote.

"Whether it is Li Ru or Jia Xu, such a terrifying calculation power is really confusing. It would be great if Zhicai was here. With his intelligence, he might be able to compete with them. However, Dong Zhuo's current situation in Luoyang is not forgiving. Optimistic, after the Yishi Youmeng took Hulao Pass, Meng De may come to Luoyang at any time. In this way, Li Ru should not leave Dong Zhuo's side. In other words, there is a [-]% chance that this person is a poisoner Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!"

Thinking that this person might be Jia Xu, Wen Han couldn't help but his heart beat wildly. When he was in Yanshi, he had already tasted Jia Xu's power.Once Jia Xu makes a plan, he will drive people to death, and it is difficult to turn the tables.But now, Wen Han is holding far fewer cards than when he was in Yanshi, and he has to face Jia Xu, a terrifying opponent.

The more Wen Han thought about it, the more flustered he became, his thoughts seemed to be blocked, and he felt at a loss.

But at this moment, two powerful palms grabbed Wen Han's left and right shoulders almost at the same time. Wen Han was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw the faces of Guan Yu and Xu Huang.

Guan Yu had a firm face, Xu Huang had a relaxed smile on his face, neither of them spoke, but they had already sent a signal to Wen Han from their palms.

"Second brother...fourth brother..."

Wen Han let out a deep breath of bad luck, as if he wanted to let out all the panic in his heart, then raised his hands, and tightly grasped the big hands of Guan Yu and Xu Huang on his shoulders.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the dark night came as usual.

In Dazhai at the foot of the mountain, Jia Xu's account.

"Wenhe, now we only have less than two days left, and now we are on fire, how to break through Tongguan, please teach me!"
