Chapter 1144 The Death of Marquis Wenchang

Chapter 1144 The Death of Marquis Wenchang
Dong Mangfu, like a eunuch, immediately knelt down and issued the order: "By order of the Supreme Royal Family, the weak soldiers of Liangwei have offended the might of the Eastern Desert. Surround and kill the weak soldiers of Liangwei. Tonight's dinner will be the flesh of the weak soldiers of Liangwei!"

The order was relayed through messengers, layer by layer.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Encircle and kill the weak soldiers of Liangwei, and eat their flesh!" The soldiers of Dongmo shouted excitedly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, they were savoring the delicious salted meat made from this meat.

That's right, the salted meat in Dongmo is not pork, but meat from Liangwei.

That's why Yun made salted meat and vegetable rice for Mo Xiucai in an attempt to influence him, which is why Mo Xiucai thought she was extremely stupid and despicable.

"Speed ​​up the march, encircle and annihilate the weak and poor troops of Wei, let them know the consequences of offending the might of the Eastern Desert! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The soldiers from the Eastern Desert roared and ran excitedly.

Boom boom boom boom!

The sounds of battle roared like thunder, echoing across the Dingmangtai battlefield.

On Dingmang Platform, the Wei soldiers watched the Dongmo army surge towards them, many of them turning deathly pale.

Bang bang bang, more soldiers were so frightened that they fainted, and a few even died of fright.

but……

escape?
They cannot escape; they are registered soldiers. If they desert in the face of battle, their families will be publicly beheaded, and their entire clan will be implicated.

beat?
Such a massive army is unbeatable.

"Brothers, bring up the poison! Let's give them a big one! We'll take those Eastern Desert beasts down with us even in death! We'll leave behind a legacy of glory for our descendants!"

This time it wasn't Old Miao who shouted, but Commander Jia.

Other commanders, centurions, and Wei soldiers echoed, "Use poison! Even if we die, we'll drag those beasts from the Eastern Desert down with us!"

"Brothers, I, Old Liu, have concocted a deadly poison, it's so potent that I didn't dare report it before, but now I'll make it for you guys, let's kill a few more enemy soldiers!" Old Liu, the military doctor, was excited that his greatest skill was finally going to be put to use.

"Old doctor, the medicine has been brought up, come and prepare it quickly!" shouted the auxiliary soldiers and slave laborers responsible for moving and carrying the medicine.

Surrounded by a group of military doctors and medics, Dr. Liu went to prepare highly toxic powder.

Whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom!
The sounds of arrows and fire pots clashing were incessant.

The Wei soldiers were not stingy either; they threw as many weapons as they could get their hands on before they died.

"Don't worry about not using up all the stuff after people die. Tie the poison to the pine oil fire pot. This poison contains a herb called wolfsbane. When it comes into contact with a large fire and high temperature, it will release poison gas that can spread for miles. It will poison those beasts in the Eastern Desert and make them regret invading our Great Wei!"

The other military doctors and medics were shocked: "Wolfsbane can be used like this? You really are an old military doctor, very knowledgeable. We didn't know you could use it like this!"

"Get to work quickly, or you won't be coming back..."

Boom!

A huge rock carrying a fireball crashed onto Dingmang Platform, and the Wei soldiers felt a tremor.

Old Miao said, "Those beasts from the Eastern Desert have launched a long-range attack with catapults! Soldiers, prepare to perish together!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, but no one cried or was afraid anymore; only excitement and a sense of relief that it had finally arrived remained.

A person who is not afraid of death is invincible.

The same applies to the more than 10,000 Wei soldiers on Dingmang Platform.

Their movements became much more agile than before. They began to launch continuous long-range counterattacks, and even went to get poison, stuffed it into pine oil jars, lit the jars, and released it.

Whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom!

The cupping jar exploded.

This batch of cupping jars severely injured the Eastern Desert soldiers at the front. After a dozen breaths, they experienced a bitter taste in their mouths, dizziness, and increasingly short breaths, to the point of suffocation.

A moment later, bang bang bang!
A group of iron-clad soldiers and cavalrymen fell to the ground, and even their warhorses collapsed and neighed.

"Report! The grain supply unit has used poison; the vanguard has been poisoned, and several hundred men have fallen!"

This?
Dongmangfu was so frightened that he dared not move.

The member of the Crimson Feather Royal Family had a grim expression, and after a long while, he finally uttered a single word: "Slaughter!"

"By imperial decree of the Supreme Royal Family, slaughter the weak soldiers of Wei, leaving no one alive!"

"By imperial decree of the Supreme Royal Family, slaughter the weak soldiers of Liangwei, leave no one alive!" This imperial decree resounded throughout the heavens and earth, lingering for a long time.

All the soldiers of Dongmo went mad, launching continuous attacks on Dingmangtai, determined to destroy it and wipe out the Wei army on it in one fell swoop.

As for the Wei troops near Dingmangtai, and the scattered Wei troops who fled, they were pursued and killed by the Eastern Desert cavalry.

The sounds of killing, pleas for mercy, and retaliation continued for half an hour.

At last……

Rumble——!
With a deafening roar, the catapults from the Eastern Desert finally shattered the pillars of Dingmangtai, causing the six-meter-high platform to collapse to the ground.

however……

Boom boom boom boom!
An even louder explosion rang out, flames shot into the sky, and the entire Dingmangtai became a sea of ​​fire. The shockwave sent a group of Eastern Desert soldiers who were relatively close to Dingmangtai flying into the air.

Bang bang bang!
The Eastern Desert soldier fell to the ground, screaming in agony, "It hurts, it hurts, it's burning!"

They were almost scalded to death.

Even more frightening is...

Hoo hoo ho!
Within a radius of two miles, all the soldiers of the Eastern Desert were experiencing difficulty breathing.

Bang, bang, bang! A series of sounds rang out as bodies fell to the ground, and tens of thousands of Eastern Desert soldiers collapsed and could not get up.

Frightened!

Upon witnessing this scene, the soldiers of the Eastern Desert were so terrified that they nearly fainted, even believing it to be divine punishment inflicted upon them by the gods.

"Retreat! Retreat! The air is poisonous!" The great physician of the Eastern Desert was no pushover; upon realizing this, he immediately shouted.

After shouting, he collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.

The rest of the Eastern Desert people ignored him and hurriedly retreated, like ants leaving their nest. The area within a five-mile radius of Dingmangtai was completely empty!
The Red Feather Supreme Royal Family's large tent was moved ten miles away.

The Wei soldiers, weakened by the lack of provisions, failed to eat, and Dong Mangfu even had an arm cut off as a sacrifice to the flag.

The once-mighty Eastern Desert army, though victorious in this battle, was demoralized and everyone felt insecure.

……

General Chi and Marquis Wenchang, who were fleeing for their lives, were overjoyed... The flames were soaring into the sky, and no matter which side started the fire, both armies would suffer heavy casualties.

As long as the Eastern Desert army suffers heavy casualties, they will be considered to have made a contribution.

"General, the Eastern Desert army marches like lightning. We cannot linger. Please return to the pass and camp immediately to take charge of the overall situation!" Commander Ruan, Commander Qi, and others pleaded.

As for Vice General Lin and Assistant Magistrate Fang... if they don't die, can General Chi be at ease? Can General Chi save face?

They fought to the death and died for their country.

General Chi also saluted Dingmangtai and said, "Brother Lin and Brother Fang, rest in peace. I will definitely report your achievements to the court and request that you be granted titles and honors, so that your merits may benefit your descendants!"

Ruan Qianhu sent someone to spread this message. The surviving Wei soldiers felt that General Chi was a good general, and that even if they died in battle, they would not have to worry about their families not receiving their compensation.

"Let's go! Back to the main camp at the pass to discuss our strategy for resisting the enemy!" With a command from General Chi, thousands of Wei soldiers marched swiftly toward the main camp at the pass.

As for Marquis Wenchang's troops, they lagged behind General Chi's troops.

That's right, they escaped separately.

General Chi's side took a shortcut, while Marquis Wenchang took the main road, so their journey was slower.

Marquis Wenchang also feigned respect by offering sacrifices to the Wei soldiers who died in the Battle of Dingmangtai, before finally, with the help of Commander Wen, he boarded his carriage and headed towards…

"By bypassing the pass and camp, we will enter Tianmang Prefecture directly." Marquis Wenchang changed his order.

Wen Baihu frowned and asked, "My lord, what reason will you give to the outside world? If we do this, won't we be impeached and charged with cowardly desertion?"

Marquis Wenchang: “Going to the main camp at the pass is a dead end, we must go around it… It’s easy to find a reason, just say that I was entrusted to deliver a battle report to the capital.”

He urged again, "Stop arguing. It's dangerous now. Set off quickly. We'll talk in detail after we get around the pass and the camp."

“...Yes.” Wen Baihu replied, but he could not let Wen Changhou leave the Dingmangtai battlefield alive.
