Chapter 338 The Fierce Battle of Tongguan

"Report! General Li!!! Mr. Jia said that although there were many people like us, it was like a giant beast with its claws stripped and broken limbs, but it was about to pounce on the wolf's nest. If it is usually a giant beast, it can destroy the wolf's nest with one palm, but now it loses its claws and limbs, just like a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by a dog!"

Indeed, more than 40,000 Liangzhou soldiers were killed by less than 8,000 defenders. It is really appropriate to describe it as Hu Luo Pingyang.

And this time, Guo Yan and the first-class generals have no objection, and they all acquiesce. Guo Yan opened his mouth and stopped talking. If he hadn't been scrupulous about this face, he would have persuaded Li to retreat immediately. Because of today's war situation, it is really difficult for Guo Wei to bring up his fighting spirit. The Liangzhou army is becoming more and more poisoned, and there is no fighting power at all. They almost have to pay the price of more than a dozen soldiers to shoot one of the other soldier. If it goes on like this, no matter how many troops will be exhausted!

Li Sui stared at Guo Yan fiercely, and his hatred for Guo Yan became deeper and deeper. This man's success was more than enough to fail. From the last expedition to the capture of Tongguan, he repeatedly ruined his overall situation. Li Sui Ruofei, who saw that the two had deep feelings when they were working together in Liangzhou, had already killed him with a knife to vent his hatred.

"Sect my order, and the whole army will retreat immediately!"

Li Sui shouted loudly. As soon as his words fell, the sword and shield soldiers who were being shot by the defenders were immediately retreating crazily. They had long lost their will to fight, and they didn't know how much they wanted to hear the word retreat.

When the defenders on Tongguan saw that the Liangzhou army was about to withdraw, their morale soared. More than 7,000 soldiers were all red-eyed. They all thought that shooting one would earn one more, which would reduce the danger in the future. They pulled the bow string and shot out one by one. Dang Dang Dang!!

Countless arrows fell on the shield wall composed of Liangzhou knives and shields like a downpour, with great strength. After flying the shields of many Liangzhou knives and shields, they shot and killed many Liangzhou soldiers.

After several rounds of violent arrow tide attacks, the Liangzhou army finally withdrew from the archery range of the Tongguan defenders and rushed to the foot of the mountain in a chaotic manner.

At this time, Guan Yu quickly stepped on Wen Han. There was no need for him to speak. Wen Han already knew what he was thinking. Wen Han narrowed his sharp eyes like a knife and shook his head at Guan Yu.

"Just now, I saw the 'Li' flag in the array of the Liangzhou Army. Under the command of Dong Zhuo, there is no doubt that Li Chu or Li Ru can be a general surnamed Li. Li Ru is sinister and cunning, with a lot of tricks. And there is a taller who is more terrifying than Li Ru under Li's command. So no matter who is this general, we need to be extremely cautious.

If the second brother wants to lead the army to chase and kill at this time, I'm afraid he will be ambushed."

Guan Yu heard that Wen Han's tone was very solemn, so he nodded to show his understanding. After that, Wenhan ordered the soldiers to use water to extinguish the straw ignited outside the gate, and then made the soldiers drink the already prepared medicinal soup. These decoction can relieve the toxicity of sulfur. The main drug of this decoction was found by Wen Han around the sulfur mine.

Wen Han is a top agent in later generations. He usually has a lot of interactions with poisons. He understands that if the creatures and vegetation around him can coexist with it, it shows that there must be a relationship of mutual restraint between him and poisons. There must be something to detoxify near the poison!

And on the mountainside, Jia Xu stared at the direction of Tongguan at the top of the mountain for a while. After a while, the faint smile at the corner of his mouth was put away and muttered faintly.

"It seems that this champion is really cautious. At such a good time, I didn't send a large army to chase and kill, which made me wait for a long time. That's all."

After saying that, Jia Xu turned his eyes to the burning pile of straw and reached out to catch it. There was some half-burning yellow powder in the dark ashes. Jia Xu frowned, pinched the yellow powder with his hand, and smelled it again.

"Huh? This seems to be sulfur. It turned out that the yellow smoke came out after the sulfur burned.

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

"Don't wait. Let's go back. This champion probably won't come to chase.

When Jia Xu returned to the village at the foot of the mountain, Li urged to greet him at the village gate and looked at him expectantly. Jia Xu shook his head, and Li Xu couldn't help feeling powerless. Originally, he thought that Jia Xu could win back a game for him, annihilate some of the defenders of Tongguan, and relieve the pressure for the next war.

"This champion is really so good that he can guess that we have an ambush?"

"Hmm. He was born in a poor family. Under the trend of no poor families, he can get to the guard of a county. Of course, there is something extraordinary. What about this champion? Let's not talk about it for the time being. I'd better take care of myself first.

General Li, after our soldiers come back, can the poisoning be alleviated?

"Leave the scenes behind the yellow smoke, the poisoning has been alleviated, but the fatigue and dizziness are still very serious. And most people still vomit, and some even vomit yellow gallbladder. If you can't find a detoxification, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight these days.

"General Li, don't worry, I have found out the source of this poison. General Li was also asked to immediately send a few less poisoned soldiers around here to find a nearby sulfur mine, 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 Qian looked at it and then grabbed the yellow powder in his hand. It was sulfur.

Li Su's heart jumped. He didn't expect the sulfur to be so toxic when burning.

"General Li, please seize the time. If it is slow, I'm afraid that the champion will burn these antidotes one step earlier than us. However, I think there may be only one place in this area, but also General Li to tell them to look carefully later. If we want to break through Tongguan, this antidote is indispensable!"

"Good! I'll go down and order right away!!"

Li Xu's face darkened, and he also understood the truth. After saluted Jia Xu very respectfully, he turned around and left. After Li Xu left, Jia Xu rubbed his painful temples and began to think about the next step.

Half an hour later, several light riders rushed out of the Liangzhou army village and rushed to the mountains near Tongguan to find a place with sulfur mines.

As expected by Jia Xu, Wen Han also sent a soldier and horse to burn the remaining herbs after collecting enough herbs. Unexpectedly, he met one of the light riding teams sent by Li Xu. After fighting for a while, the soldiers and horses sent by Wen Han hurriedly lit the surrounding plants because they carried a lot of herbs. After being killed, he fled.

The light riding team left behind quickly put out the fire, collected the remaining herbs, and then went back to Dazhai. Li Qian's other light riding teams also found the sulfur mine in several different areas. After collecting the herbs near them, it was the next morning when they returned to Dazhai.

Li Sui didn't sleep almost all night because he was worried. When he saw the people he sent to collect the herbs, he waited for several hours to make the medicine soup. After the soldiers drank the medicine soup, the poisoning was greatly reduced. Li urged to put down his high-hanging heart and returned to his account to rest.

On the other side, under Tongguan, nearly thousands of people are recycling arrows in the vicinity. These arrows are either inserted in the soil, in the corpse, or in the nearby trees.

For the defenders of Tongguan at this time, arrows are their lives, because they all know that there will be more tragic offensive and defensive battles next. As defenders, once they run out of arrows, they are almost bound to lose.

On the Tongguan wall, Wen Han's eyebrows were deeply locked. When he knew that one of Li Ru or Jia Xu in the Liangzhou army must be in the town, he immediately woke up. These two people did not miss it. They should soon find that he was using sulfur, and then he counted a lot from then on, and then found the antidote step by step. Therefore, just in case, Wen Han made people burn the herb immediately after picking it.

And from the soldiers who came back from picking medicine last night, as Wen Han guessed, the Liangzhou army was also looking for this antidote.

"Is it Li Ru or Jia Xu? Such a terrible calculation is really frightening. If only Zhicai was here, he might be able to compete with them with his intelligence. However, at this time, Dong Zhuo's situation in Luoyang is not optimistic. After the Right League of Righteous Division took the Hu Prison Pass, Meng De may come to Luoyang at any time. In this way, Li Ru should not leave Dong Zhuo's side. That is to say, 80% of this person may be the poisoner Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!"

Thinking that this person was probably Jia Xu, Wen Han couldn't help but jump wildly. When he was a teacher, he had already tasted Jia Xu's strength. Once Jia Xu makes a plan, he will force people to death, which is difficult to turn over. Now, Wen Han's hand is far less than when he was in Yan Shi, and he has to face Jia Xu, a terrible opponent.

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

At this moment, the two powerful palms grasped Wen Han's left and right shoulders almost at the same time. Wen Han's heart was shocked. Looking back, he saw the faces of Guan Yu and Xu Huang.

Guan Yu's face was firm, and Xu Huang had a relaxed smile. Neither of them said anything, but from their palms had sent a signal to Wen Han what they wanted to say.

"Second brother...four brother..."

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

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

In the big village at the foot of the mountain, on Jia Xu's account.

"Wen He, now we have less than two days left, and now we are frowned upon. How to break through this Tongguan? Please teach me!"
