Heng Saer sat in the Chinese army tent with a dark face and a very depressed mood.
In the camp, no one of the generals present dared to make a sound. They all lowered their heads in silence, waiting for Heng Saer's sharp rebuke.
After being silent for a long time, Heng Saer finally spoke up: "Have all of them become mute? Speak..."
After the words fell, the tent was still eerily quiet.
Heng Saer frowned, glared around, and asked, "Does anyone know what those poisonous smokes are about?"
After the question came out, the generals present began to exchange glances, and those sitting close to each other began to whisper among themselves.
There were many discussions, but no one could tell the specific origin of the poisonous smoke, but everyone said that the Muyue people had never used this kind of poisonous smoke before.
"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet!" Heng Saer stopped, and the camp immediately became quiet.
Heng Saer said: "Since no one knows the origin of the poisonous smoke, let's not explore it for now. The most important thing right now is how we should fight it next!"
As soon as the words fell, there was another noise of whispering in the tent.
After a while, a middle-aged general on the left said: "General Hengsar, after much thought, I still feel that Qingyuan Pass must be attacked steadily. No matter what, we must first build up the mountains, and then move on."
Using flying ladders to capture it is like capturing a city."
Heng Saer frowned and said: "What do you mean, do you mean to use human life to fill it?"
The middle-aged general said hurriedly: "This is not what I mean, General Hengsar, Qingyuan Pass is a big natural barrier that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is impossible to conquer such a natural barrier without paying some price."
!”
Heng Saer asked coldly: "Oh, some price? Then let me ask you, how many people have we lost today?"
The middle-aged general saw Heng Saer's dissatisfaction with his opinion and immediately stopped talking.
Heng Saer suddenly raised his voice: "Tell you, it's more than a thousand people! More than a thousand people died, why don't you go and see how high the mountain of earth is? Oh, tell me, how high is the mountain of earth?
"
The middle-aged general didn't dare to make a sound, his chin already resting on his chest.
At this time, a black-bearded general on the right side of Hengsar spoke: "General, calm down. I will think that since I can't attack from the front, I should think of a way to outwit him."
Heng Saer tried to calm down and asked: "Tell me, what method should I use to outsmart him?"
General Blackbeard seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and immediately said: "General, I think we can try digging a tunnel!"
"Dig a tunnel?" Heng Saer frowned.
General Blackbeard nodded and said: "Yes, dig a tunnel! General, we have many people. We just need to dig day and night to dig out a tunnel leading to the back of Qingyuan Pass, and then take advantage of it to surprise the Luna Army Camp.
Qingyuan Pass is within easy reach!"
Heng Saer frowned, and then asked with a serious expression: "Then how long do you think it will take to dig such a tunnel?"
General Blackbeard thought for a while and replied: "Go back to General, one month is enough."
Heng Sa was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and rolled his eyes helplessly.
When Heng Saer lowered his head and focused his gaze on General Blackbeard's face again, General Blackbeard seemed a little confused.
Heng Saer asked: "One month? Are you kidding me? Let me ask you, if we are accidentally discovered by the Luna Army while digging the tunnel, won't our previous efforts be wasted and our work will be in vain?"
Heng Saer did not stop and continued: "In addition, do you know and understand the terrain south of Qingyuan Pass? How long should this tunnel be dug and where is the safest place to lead to? How do you determine these? Also,
What if the digging is crooked? Besides, this is the Amokhahar Mountains. If the ground is filled with extremely hard rocks and our people cannot dig through, what are you going to do?"
"Uh..." General Blackbeard was speechless.
Heng Saer retorted: "You haven't considered these issues, and you actually dare to tell me about digging tunnels to outwit me?"
Blackbeard was very embarrassed by the rebuke. He blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to speak out.
Heng Saer took out a breath, looked at the others, and asked, "What about you?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone present shook their heads.
The two people who just spoke were both high-ranking generals in the camp. Everyone saw that they were shut down by Heng Saer's violent and ruthless attacks, and the others did not dare to say anything.
As a result, the Chinese army's tent became somewhat lifeless.
But the more silent everyone became, the more irritable Heng Saer became. Looking at the silent people in the tent, the anger in his heart gradually increased.
Suddenly, Heng Saer shouted angrily: "Get out, get out, everyone! Don't bother me here!"
Everyone was startled by him, but as soon as they heard this, everyone stood up quickly, bowed to Hengsal and apologized, and fled the camp one after another.
After a while, only Hengsar and Bangluo were left in the tent.
Suddenly, Heng Saer slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Bangluo, go get the wine."
Bangluo was very surprised, because Hengsal never drank in the army. It seemed that he was indeed very troubled today.
Soon, Bangluo went to the back to get a small jar of wine.
Heng Saer took the wine jar and opened the seal, then drank heavily.
Listening to the "gu dong gu dong" sound of the wine going down the throat, it feels like drinking water.
In an instant, half the jar of wine was down...
Only then did Heng Saer place the wine jar on the table, his chest heaving and breathing heavily.
"General, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to break through Qingyuan Pass." Bang Luo comforted him.
Heng Saer closed his eyes, shook his head slowly and said: "If it's the same as last time, I know it's possible, but now it seems that it may be difficult!"
"Why did the general say that?" Bang Luo rarely saw Heng Sar showing lack of confidence.
Heng Saer took another sip of wine and said: "Bangluo, if what I said is right, there should be an expert in charge of the current Luna Army!"
"The master is in charge?" Bangluo asked in surprise: "Why would the general think so?"
Heng Saer said: "There are three reasons! First, you saw the dents on the shields of the bamboo javelins used by the Luna Army. Don't you think the power of their bamboo javelins is a bit abnormal?"
"Yes, the power is indeed too great. It's not like what ordinary people can throw." Bangluo nodded carefully.
"And then there's the boiling excrement water..."
Having said this, Heng Saer immediately took a sip of wine, as if to offset the stench brought by the word "dung water".
Heng Saer put down the wine jar and said: "Since the war with the Muyue people, when have you seen or heard that the Muyue people used boiled dung water? If someone hadn't given Fan Xingwang some advice, I would have been beaten to death.
Don’t believe it!”
Bangluo said: "Yes, it is really strange when General Jing said this. When the Muyue people defended the city, they had never used such despicable and dirty methods. Why did they suddenly...ah, no?
, so disgusting......"
When he thought of the scene of boiling excrement pouring down on his face, Bangluo couldn't help but feel sick.
Heng Saer continued: "The last thing is today's poisonous smoke. Tell me, if there isn't an expert in the Moon God Army, what could it be?"
After talking about these three points, Bang Luo completely believed in Heng Saer's judgment.
"General, who is this master you are talking about?" Bang Luo asked with furrowed brows.
Heng Saer pondered for a moment and said: "Bangluo, you will send someone back soon to send a letter and ask them to notify the spies in Haoyue City as soon as possible and make sure to investigate this matter!"
After a moment of silence, Bangluo asked: "General, what should we do tomorrow? Do we still need to send people to rush up to fill the soil?"
Heng Saer shook his head and said: "No, the poisonous smoke today has caused us heavy losses. Now everyone's morale is very low. No more people can die."
Bangluo nodded and said, "What do you mean, general, a temporary truce?"
"At present, it seems that this is the only way." Heng Saar said reluctantly.
