In the Tang army commander, Li Yuan was holding a sharp sword in his hand, enduring the grief in his heart and quickly gestured on the sand table. The generals looked exactly the same, and their faces were gloomy and indignant. Although they wanted to lead their troops to rush to Xizhou City immediately, the commander Li Yuan was the leader of the three armies. Without getting the military order, he could only grit his teeth and stare around the sand table, listening to the deployment of the march patiently.

The scenes of eight thousand soldiers tragically dying, especially Luo Erhu's dark and honest smile. Li Yuan was suffering tremendous torture in his heart. The sworn brothers died and the eight thousand elite soldiers were damaged. The strong pain and hatred in his heart had already filled his body. However, as the commander of the Wuping Army, he was responsible for the life and death of the entire army, but he had to ask him to remain rational.

This time, the Wuping army fought on both sides, and nearly 10,000 elite troops were lost, and the troops were no longer superior. Moreover, the enemy also had large killing weapons such as poisonous miasma in hand. If it was impulsive, it would be unimaginable what kind of changes it caused.

After a while, Li Yuan quickly put his sword back into the sheath, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, have you heard clearly what I said just now?"

A deputy general frowned and swallowed his saliva at this time, bowed and asked, "Master! Your deployment is indeed thorough, but the last general is puzzled. According to what Governor Peng said before, the enemy army is less than 30,000, and now we are defending the city. At present, our army has only more than 20,000 troops left. The enemy and our forces are already in a different position. Why is the general reunited with two groups? In the opinion of the last general, it is better to concentrate our troops to capture Huixi Village first and then attack the city..."

The generals were silent when they heard this, especially the veterans who had been through the battlefield, who also agreed in unison. Although they were also indignant, they had to admit that Li Yuan's deployment was indeed a bit reckless.

According to their previous logic of fighting that is easy to start and then difficult, it is correct to defeat one by one when the troops are not superior, and it is indeed not a wise move to divide the troops rashly. Compared with Xizhou City, Huixizhai is obviously a tough problem.

Although the morale of the entire army was high at this time and it was quite like a pity for the soldiers to win, this battle was to attack the city gate rather than a field battle. People were emotional, but the city walls were not emotional. When two groups attacked at the same time, Huixi Village could be defended without any danger, but Xizhou City was not necessarily the case. If it was exhausted in vain, it would be really not worth the loss.

"Everyone, I know what you are thinking. I just think that the act of division of troops is my act of being voluntarily and trying to win quickly! As you said, after a morning battle, our army is now insufficient. It is logical that it is not appropriate to divide the troops. But do you think it is wise to attack Huixi Village first?

Huixi Village is indeed not as dangerous as the city gate, but it is a junction with Xizhou City. Even if our army concentrates its forces to attack Huixi Village, how can the enemy troops in Xizhou City not come out of the city to help? If they are attacked from both sides, not only will Huixi Village not be able to capture it, but the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, dividing troops is a helpless move by the general. Since we have to face two enemies, it is better to actively divide our troops and attack, forcing the enemy troops in Xizhou City to retreat to defend the city, which makes it difficult for them to take the opportunity. As long as we successfully capture Huixi Village, major events can be decided..."

These words seemed to have given the generals a reassurance, and many people nodded in a vague way. The deputy general who had just spoken suddenly patted his head and took a deep breath and said, "The general is indeed quite good at using troops! Therefore, the main attack direction of our army should be Huixizhai, and Xizhou City is full of suspicious soldiers..."

Li Yuan shook his head decisively, and his eyes were like torches and responded loudly: "Suspicious soldiers? Now our army has more than 20,000 people left, so how can we have the confidence to send out any more suspicious soldiers? You all remember this commander, and all the soldiers and horses in the two routes are the main attacks!"

"This..." The coach issued the order, his expression calmer and more. The generals couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't dare to speak again. They just whispered to each other, and their expressions were very uneasy.

Seeing this, Li Yuan immediately waved his hand to stop the generals from making noise, and then gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I have already broken two tigers, how could I let you go to die? Don't forget that there are still three hundred new catapults in the camp! I have never experienced actual combat before, and this time I happened to use the barbarians to attack!"

Liu Jiangsheng couldn't help but whisper: "Master, is this new catapult really that powerful?"

Li Yuan did not reply, but nodded heavily, then glanced at him and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, time is tight! But there are suggestions, but it's okay to say it!"

Just as the generals held their breath and concentrated, Peng Shiyu stood up and bowed worriedly, "Master, I dare not discuss military affairs in a rash way, but I have to say that regardless of whether the troops are divided or not, if Tian Hongyou attacks with poisonous miasma again, how should our army deal with it?"

This sentence is about the point, and a general wanted to ask the same question just now. However, considering that his general lost his sworn brothers due to poisonous miasma, he was very sad at this time, so he naturally had to be careful when speaking as a subordinate. This section is particularly critical. Just as he was organizing the language, Peng Shiyu finally took the lead and the generals also faced the commander to solve the doubts in his heart.

Poisonous miasma is a difficult problem that Li Yuan has to face. As Peng Shiyu said, if the problem of poisonous miasma is not solved, no matter how the troops are divided or how they are deployed, it will be empty talk.

Li Yuan had thought about this problem. After witnessing several large baskets of poison bags, his first reaction was not only shock but also headaches. Who could have expected that the barbarians who were behind and uncultured had such a way? Even the poison gas war was developed! How to deal with poisonous miasma, Li Yuan immediately thought of protective clothing for later generations, and soon lost this idea.

Given the limitations of the technological conditions of this era, my science in my previous life was half a bucket of water, so where did I start with professional craftsmanship? Even if I have this craft in my hand, now I am alone and in a barren mountain, where can I get the time and materials for you to develop these things?

Then, in a moment, I thought of some common sense from later generations, such as activated carbon with extremely strong adsorption. Historically, the production method has been recorded. In Li Shizhen's book "Compendium of Materia Medica", he mentioned that activated carbon has many pores and has strong adsorption, which can dehumidify and prevent poisoning, etc. You only need to soak it in charcoal and wood ash water, then put it in a pot and steam it three times and cook it after drying it.

But it doesn’t matter whether this method is appropriate. It only says that after obtaining activated carbon, you still have to find suitable materials to make masks and then integrate activated carbon into it. This requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Similarly, it is still a matter of time. The first production requires more research. Now it is obviously too late to be in a hurry.

Therefore, after a rapid thought in Li Yuan's mind, there were only a few measures left, such as covering his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, but this move also had great risks. Any slight toxic miasma entering the body would be futile, not to mention that the sergeant's breathing was difficult to smoothly, which would definitely be unfavorable to combat.

But there seems to be no better way at the moment.
