The military doctor had no choice but to tell several generals the truth.
And asked them to find a way to have the imperial capital send a few imperial doctors who are good at detoxification.
After hearing this, several generals felt like vomiting blood.
"Xiao Hanzheng is so despicable and shameless that he actually smeared poison on the sword."
"That's right. He actually resorted to such dirty tricks when the two armies were fighting. How shameless."
"I have never seen such a sinister commander."
They couldn't help but keep scolding Xiao Hanzheng.
Although the military doctor cursed a lot in his heart, he thought that his commander had poisoned the third prince, and the other party was just returning the poison, which was equally shameless.
Of course, he didn't dare say such words.
There were spies arranged by Xiao Hanzheng in the Ge Kingdom military camp, so even though the military doctor and several generals deliberately did not tell anyone that Yelu Donghe was poisoned and unconscious, the news still spread.
For a moment, the soldiers on the Ge State side were in panic.
Especially after seeing the small black ball falling from the sky with their own eyes, many people became extremely panicked.
When several generals found out, they were furious and hurriedly sent people to catch the person who spread the news, but the person ran away in advance and they didn't catch him.
This makes them feel even more aggrieved and humiliated.
They had never suffered such a great loss in a battle between two armies.
But no matter how aggrieved he was, there was nothing he could do. He could only send an eagle to send a message back, asking the emperor to send an imperial physician who was good at detoxification.
The next afternoon, the Daliang soldiers, who had eaten and drunk their fill, followed Xiao Hanzheng to the place where the Ge State army was stationed.
After his people spread the news, they not only slipped away, but also drew the location and sent it to him.
It was almost dark when they reached the foot of the mountain. Seeing the terrain that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, the old general and others looked solemn.
The old general stroked his beard and said, "This should be the camping site chosen by Yelu Donghe before he fell into a coma. It's not easy for us to attack this kind of terrain!"
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Although this kind of terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it also has its disadvantages. Look at where they are, are they at the wind's edge?"
He had already studied the terrain map thoroughly before coming here, and combined with his understanding of Yelu Donghe, he had long anticipated that the other party would set up camp at this location.
Since he brought people to attack, he certainly made preparations.
After hearing what he said, the old general and others also realized that the place where the other party was was indeed a windy place.
The old general's eyes lit up, "Shall we use fire attack?"
Once a place like this starts burning, it is difficult to put out the fire because it is located in a windy area.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded and said, "That's right, use fire attack!"
He added: "We will wait here and ambush anyone who escapes."
The old general and the others were really impressed by Xiao Hanzheng at this moment, "We will listen to Lord Xiao!"
They had been fighting for quite some time, so they naturally reacted. Xiao Hanzheng should have studied the terrain well. He was a natural born general! Everyone did not go up the mountain, but hid on the way down the mountain.
Xiao Hanzheng ordered the arson team, which had been prepared long ago, to sneak up the mountain after dark.
In the military camp of Ge State, the morale of the soldiers was rather low, and they all looked a little listless.
Suddenly, a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" sound was heard, followed by rockets flying from the side and below, and soon a fire broke out in Ge Guo's camp.
"Ah, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"It's on fire, put it out!"
There were a lot of panicked sounds coming from Ge Guo’s tent, and many soldiers rushed out to put out the fire.
But these rockets were specially modified by Xiao Hanzheng. They were soaked in a layer of oil and flammable materials were tied to the arrows.
Yelu Donghe was unconscious, and the most senior general here shouted, "Rush down and retreat to our border town."
He was not stupid and had already guessed that there would definitely be an ambush by the Daliang army below.
But now the military camp was burned down, and there was nothing they could do but rush out and escape.
However, he left behind one-third of his elite troops and ran towards the mountain with Yelu Donghe.
Going down would almost certainly lead to death. If they wanted to save the Marshal and their own lives, they could only hope to escape by climbing over the mountain.
As for the soldiers he ordered to rush down and retreat, they were just some abandoned pawns deliberately thrown out to attract the Daliang army.
His calculation was correct. After those people rushed down, they were greeted by waves of arrows and then rolling stones.
In the end, it was the butcher knives of the soldiers from Daliang.
Those Ge soldiers who rushed down were either ambushed and killed or captured; none of them escaped.
An hour later, the battle ended.
After the cleanup, the deputy general reported, "Sir Xiao, Yelu Donghe and the two commanders are not among these people."
Xiao Hanzheng was not surprised, "They must have escaped up the mountain in the opposite way."
The deputy general asked: "Should we chase them?"
Xiao Hanzheng waved his hand, "No need, Yelu Donghe is already unconscious anyway, so there is no need to worry about this escaped team."
"And I have also arranged for people to ambush on the other side of the mountain. They will suffer another wave of casualties."
"There is no need to capture the unconscious Yelu Donghe now. It will be more beneficial for us to release him."
"It has not been confirmed that Yelu Donghe can no longer fight, and the Ge Kingdom will not send a new commander to take charge for the time being."
The three most powerful generals of the Ge Kingdom, the King of the North was under house arrest in the capital of Daliang, Yelu Donghe was in a coma, and the little prince Yelu De, who was originally the new generation of god of war, was captured by them last time. After being redeemed by the Ge Kingdom, his confidence was frustrated and he has not yet come out of the shadow.
Since the Ge State cannot send out a very capable coach now, it is estimated that it will hope to rescue Yelu Donghe.
So not only could they not arrest anyone, they also had to deliberately let the Ge Kingdom's chief general take Yelu Donghe back to the border town station smoothly.
Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "This way, the initiative of the attack is in our hands."
When the old general and others heard this, they roughly understood what he meant.
This meant that Yelu Donghe could temporarily hold back the Ge Kingdom for them.
Great, this trick is really great! I can't help but sigh in my heart, they are really old.
No, it should be Xiao Hanzheng who took everything into account. It's because he is too powerful, not because they are old, cough cough...
Xiao Hanzheng led his army back to the border town.
On the other side, the remaining troops of the Ge State who escaped down the mountain were ambushed again and lost about half of their elite troops. They then protected the unconscious Yelu Donghe and fled to their border town.
After resting for a night in the border town, Xiao Hanzheng led his army towards the border.
On the border, the female soldiers led by Xi Rong from Daliang were fighting head-on against another army from the Ge Kingdom. This was a strategy that Yelu Donghe had already arranged.
Xiao Hanzheng calculated the time and based on the news that kept coming in, Xi Rong could not hold on any longer. They had to rush to rescue her and catch the Ge Kingdom's army off guard.
Shi Qingluo naturally left with Xiao Hanzheng.
When she left, the soldiers who had to continue guarding the border town were reluctant to see her go.
Now that Princess Fubao has left, they will no longer be able to enjoy her good fortune.
The key point is that the steamed buns and canned meat are gone, and they are so sad...
