Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Guang accepted the marshal's seal from Marshal Han with both hands and said:
"Marshal Han, rest assured, I will lead my soldiers to work together to drive the barbarian troops out of the country."
Marshal Han nodded, but suddenly felt a splitting headache, unable to sit up, and collapsed onto the bed, fainting.
"Marshal Han, Marshal Han..."
Everyone was shocked and quickly went to call the army doctor.
The situation was critical, so Li Guang immediately summoned everyone to the council hall to discuss matters.
Li Guang asked the crowd if there were any other commanders besides the main commander, Kuli Tuo, in the enemy camp.
After thinking for a moment, the group said, "Currently, in the barbarian camp, besides a large number of barbarian generals, there are also some generals from the Jin and Luo kingdoms. Our soldiers have fought against them many times and haven't found anything special about them."
They don't understand formations, let alone any evil magic. If Marshal Han is under a curse, it must be someone else, and the soldiers don't know who that person is yet.
Li Guang nodded and said, "Quickly find out who the enemy camp is. Before things are clear, no one is allowed to leave the city to meet them."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Li Guang immediately arranged for men to secretly infiltrate the barbarian camp to find out the situation there.
Li Guang looked at Gu Huai and asked, "General Gu, how many bombs are left? Even if this man is very powerful, he is still wary of bombs."
"Reporting to the Marshal, due to the use of a large number of bombs during the breaking of the formation, there are only about a thousand bombs left."
Upon hearing this, Li Guang felt a pang of heartache. The bombing team had brought five thousand bombs, and they had used so many to break through the Big Dipper Formation.
There will be tough battles to fight against the enemy soldiers in the future, but we don't have many bombs left, so we must use them sparingly.
The fact that I used so many bombs on the enemy soldiers this time has made them very wary, and I estimate that they will be more restrained in future battles.
Li Guang was right. At this moment, in the main tent of the barbarian army, the commander-in-chief, Kuli Tuo, sat in the middle of the tent, with generals from the barbarian, Jin, and Luo kingdoms standing on both sides. They were tall, short, fat, and thin.
Commander-in-Chief Kuli Tuo is a renowned general from the foreign kingdom. He is a veteran of many battles, nearly sixty years old, and has fought against the army of the Great Northern Dynasty on the border for decades. He is an old rival of Marshal Han.
Next to Kurituo sat an old man with an odd appearance, dressed like a god.
The old man must have been in his seventies or eighties. Although his hair was thinning, he had many braids that hung down on his head, and he was dressed in strange clothes.
I don't know what gods looked like in the eyes of the ancients, but the old man gave people the feeling of being extremely ugly and disgusting.
The tent was completely silent. Everyone stood still, not daring to even breathe, like statues.
At this moment, a scout strode in from outside the main tent, knelt before the table of Kulituo, and began to speak:
"Marshal Ku, we have found out that the young general who broke through the formation is named Li Guang."
Upon hearing the name Li Guang, Kurituo couldn't help but gasp. Some time ago, Xiao Zan had fought against Li Guang.
Li Guang's several thousand troops stormed into Xiao Zan's camp, scattering it in disarray. In the end, Yue Heng led tens of thousands of troops out of the city, inflicting a major defeat on Xiao Zan. Of his 100,000 troops, only 20,000 to 30,000 managed to escape.
Since that battle, the barbarian soldiers have been severely weakened and have never recovered.
This time, Kurituo asked someone for help, namely the old man sitting next to him. He had only been in the military camp for a few days when the situation on the front lines changed drastically.
The old man's name was Jia Feng. He was from the Central Plains and had come to the foreign country thirty years ago, where he had basically lived a secluded life.
Although he rarely appeared in public, he was very famous. It was said that he could summon wind and rain and bring the dead back to life. He was basically a god-like being, and the people of the foreign lands called him "the immortal".
While there is some exaggeration involved, this person's abilities were indeed remarkable; he was skilled in both military strategy and unorthodox arts.
For some unknown reason, Jia Feng has emerged from seclusion and is now working for Kulituo to help the foreign kingdom deal with the Great Northern Dynasty.
After learning about the confrontation between the Fan Kingdom and the Great Northern Dynasty, Jia Feng immediately put forward his own idea: concentrate forces and as long as Hanyu Pass is captured, the other fortresses will be no threat.
Kuli Tuo adopted Jia Feng's suggestion, and the effect was evident. Since Marshal Han could not concentrate troops from other places at Hanyu Pass, the troop strength at Hanyu Pass did not increase.
This created a significant disparity in strength between the two sides, and Marshal Han immediately found himself on the defensive.
Unexpectedly, Jia Feng resorted to ruthless tactics and targeted Marshal Han.
To make his actions seem even more mysterious, he drew a very strange rune diagram and applied some medicine to it. The smell of this medicine would cause poisoning and illness in a short time if inhaled.
For people with poor health, once poisoning occurs, the consequences can be very serious. If treatment is not timely or the treatment method is incorrect, it is very likely to kill the person.
Since people didn't know the reason, they thought it was a curse, and even Curetto thought so.
Soon the camp received news that Marshal Han had been cursed, his condition was serious, and he was bedridden.
Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Jia Feng ordered Kuli Tuo to send troops to attack Hanyu Pass.
On the battlefield, Jia Feng's formation trapped Yue Heng's tens of thousands of troops.
Jia Feng was very confident in his large army. He knew that it wouldn't be long before the tens of thousands of troops of the Northern Dynasty would be completely annihilated.
To his surprise, rescue teams rushed into the fray, which made Jia Feng very happy.
The more troops charged into the formation, the more were wiped out.
The first group of people rushed into the formation, clearly intending to break it. This indicated that someone on the other side must know formations. So, by changing the formation, this group of people was also trapped in the formation.
Immediately afterwards, seven waves of people rushed in. Jia Feng was startled; the enemy clearly knew the secrets of this formation.
He planned to repeat the same tactic, using a change of formation to trap these seven groups of men.
To his surprise, before he could even change his formation, the troops that rushed in disrupted his Heavenly Dipper Formation, making it impossible to change it again. His great formation was thus broken.
Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of troops attacked. If I hadn't retreated in time, I would have lost my life there.
Jia Feng, who had fled back to the barbarian camp, was still shaken. He had met a master today. The opponent's attack was too fast, giving him no chance to breathe. Because the opponent used bombs, he was defeated completely.
What was originally a sure victory turned into a defeat in the blink of an eye, with the loss of tens of thousands of men.
Upon learning of this, Kurituo was also greatly surprised and immediately ordered an investigation to find out who had broken the immortal's great formation.
