Chapter 4773: An undercover agent with false military orders appears

Zhu Lingxiu gritted his teeth and said, "I believe you are right, Brother Daoji. Please blow the trumpet quickly and ask the drummers to stop beating the drums and call the gold to withdraw the troops."

Beside Zhu Lingxiu, a messenger picked up the conch horn in his hand and put it to his mouth. When he was about to blow it, he suddenly put the horn down again, glanced at Zhu Lingxiu, and asked: "General, are you going to blow it?"

Ringing the golden horn, are you sure?"

Zhu Lingxiu's eyes widened and she said loudly: "Of course, Han Zeyu, you must not make a mistake."

The messenger named Han Zeyu nodded, picked up the conch horn in his hand, puffed up his cheeks, and blew it violently. Several shrill whistles came out of his horn, followed closely by ten people in front of him.

Several horns also sounded, sending the military order to all directions.

Zhu Lingxiu turned around, with a smile on her face, and was about to report to Tan Daoji, but Tan Daoji and him had smiles solidifying on their faces almost at the same time, because they clearly heard that the sound of gongs ringing in front of them was not the sound of golden gongs, but the sound of golden gongs.

It was an even stronger sound of war drums, which was so earth-shattering that almost the entire rear army's war drums were blasting.

At this time, even Tan Daoji jumped up from his commanding position and rushed to the edge of the stage in a few steps. Together with Zhu Lingxiu, he shouted at Han Zeyu who was playing the trumpet: "Commander, what are you doing?"

Han Zeyu laughed and threw the conch in his hand at Tan Daoji. Zhu Lingxiu shouted: "Brother Daoji, be careful!" At the same time, Zhu Lingxiu swung the long sword in his hand and knocked the conch down to the general platform.

As soon as it hit the ground, a "boom" was heard, and the conch exploded to pieces, with pieces flying everywhere, and a smell of sulfur mixed with saltpeter and kerosene filled the air.

Tan Daoji gritted his teeth: "It's actually Zhentian Lei. It turns out that you are a demon thief lurking in our army!"

Around Han Zeyu, there were already more than a dozen personal guards surrounding him. Everyone stared angrily, drew their weapons, and faced Han Zeyu. Han Zeyu laughed and said: "The real Han Zeyu has died a long time ago. I don't think so."

I followed the leader's secret order and sneaked into your place. Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to assassinate Liu Daogui, but by some mistake, I was assigned to your subordinate Tan Daoji and became Zhu Lingxiu's messenger."

Zhu Lingxiu said bitterly: "So, on the one hand, you are looking for opportunities to assassinate us and convey military information, and on the other hand, are you trying to falsely convey military orders at this most critical time?"

Han Zeyu laughed loudly and said: "Yes, even if I kill you, I will only lose one general. But this military order was transmitted incorrectly, especially at such a critical time. I want to wipe out thousands of your troops! It's not in vain."

After lurking here for three years, I finally have no regrets about the divine religion!"

As he spoke, a stream of blood suddenly flowed from his mouth, his eyes turned white, and he fell to the ground.

Tan Daoji sighed and waved his hands. The two soldiers behind him took out the small bottles of kerosene in their arms and threw them on Han Zeyu. As soon as the fire light appeared, his body burst into flames, and this skin was in it.

In this fierce fire, it turned into ashes and turned into dust and black smoke all over the sky.

Zhu Lingxiu knelt down and said, "Brother Daoji, I don't know people well, so I let Han Zeyu, a traitor, lurk around me for so long without being noticed. Today he falsely conveyed military orders and caused big trouble. It's all my fault!

"

Tan Daoji looked ahead. With the sound of war drums, all the troops still guarding the fence line had been dispatched. Even the troops who had not knocked down the fence took the initiative to knock down the fence and march forward. Two to three hundred

Faced with the power of the war drums beating in unison, even the shouts of killing that soared into the sky in front were not that strong. However, the Kongming lanterns in the distant sky were getting closer and closer amidst the shouts of killing.

Tan Daoji waved his hand: "The matter has come to this, and it's too late to regret it. The demon thief has made it clear that he wants to attack our army with fire from above. It's too late to call for gold now. Moreover, before his death, the traitor also installed Zhentian in the conch of the messenger.

Thunder came to blow me up, and now we don’t even have the horn, so we have to send scouts to the front to deliver orders."

Having said this, he glanced at the more than ten personal guards surrounding Han Yuze's charred body, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone ride to the front immediately and ask the drummers to stop beating the drums. All who encounter

All the troops are asked to evacuate quickly and gather towards us. I will erect three fire dragon flags as a sign of the gathering."

The dozen or so guards quickly bowed and retreated. Tan Daoji looked at Zhu Lingxiu who was still kneeling on the side, lowering his head and blaming himself, and said: "Lingxiu, I don't blame you for this. Now hurry up and let the three people behind you go."

The hundreds of crossbowmen are about to withdraw, and the army in front may not be able to withdraw completely. They are in a stalemate with the enemy, and it is unlikely that they will withdraw in front of the enemy. But these archers, as well as our remaining arrows, are our counterattack.

The last strength of the monster thief Kongming Lanterns, if we don’t shoot down these Kongming Lanterns and let them fly all the way to the Chinese army to set fire to them, or even airdrop immortals, then the whole army will collapse."

Zhu Lingxiu raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The best archer in our rear army and the best person to command the archers is Hu Longshi. I think even if we cannot withdraw all the front army,

At least we should bring Xiao Hu back."

Tan Daoji raised his eyebrows: "Yes, but don't miss the main business. You can go to the front in person to see if you can bring Xiao Hu back, but remember, your first task is still to lead the archery team.

Evacuation, I have to command the entire army here, including arranging for our further retreat. Everything ahead depends entirely on you."

Without saying a word, Zhu Lingxiu turned around and jumped off the general platform. After his horse neighed, he rode away and rushed towards the front line a few hundred steps away.

Tan Daoji looked back at the silent guards behind him and said: "Put up the three fire dragon flags, Gazi, go to the central army and report the battle situation here to brother Daogui, and ask him to prepare for our rear army."

Get ready, I'm afraid I can't withstand it here. Tell Brother Daogui that I will do everything possible to delay the enemy's attack, and I will also ask him to do a good job in the defense of the Chinese army. When the enemy's general attack begins, it will be today.

Night!"

The guard named Gazi shed tears: "No, Brother Daoji, I won't go this time. I want to stay with you and fight together."

Tan Daoji smiled and patted Gazi on the shoulder: "Go and do as I say. Brother Daogui will send troops to support you, which will be more useful than you staying here alone. Go ahead. I'm afraid it will be too late."
