Chapter 617 Plague is rampant, or lure the enemy into it?
The mighty general was thinking, but suddenly he heard Bai Xiao say:
"The mighty general may not believe it, but my skill is actually superior to yours. Even without the intervention of the four major tribes, you can't kill me. So, are you willing to surrender to me and never forget your past?"
The mighty general's face turned pale instantly. Although he did not believe that the young Bai Xiao's kung fu would be better than that of his general. But Bai Xiao saw through his mind, and he was also frightened.
Sometimes, smart people are more terrifying than those with strong martial arts skills!
"I don't think so, general. The second prince is too preoccupied."
He forced himself to remain calm and denied it.
Could it be that during his expedition this time, he not only had to deal with powerful enemies, but also got into a struggle for imperial power?
The second prince, who is favored by the four major tribes, and the little prince, who is favored by the emperor, whose side should he side with?
"The mighty general, you can think slowly, there is still a chance before you die on the battlefield."
Bai Xiao left a heartbreaking word and returned to his original position.
The mighty general swallowed hard, feeling as if he was surrounded by tigers and wolves.
His current situation can be described as one of internal and external troubles.
If you are not careful, you will step into the abyss of eternal destruction.
What should he do if he surrenders to the second prince, but the second prince is not the prince in the emperor's mind?
However, if the second prince not only won the support of the four major tribes, but also made military exploits, then the advantages and disadvantages between him and the little prince would be obvious.
There should be no reason for the emperor to insist on choosing the young prince as the crown prince, right?
While the mighty general was swaying from side to side, the team from the Iron Wolf Tribe who went to investigate came back, with excitement on their faces.
"General, good news, good news."
The mighty general quickly adjusted his mood and asked urgently:
"What good news?"
"General, the plague is rampant in the Yunxiao Kingdom's army. There are patients lying everywhere, less than half of them with beards and tails. They are now like the defeated generals, vulnerable!"
The mighty general is not so optimistic. Jun Lingyun has always been cunning on the battlefield.
"We cannot underestimate the enemy. Could it be that they are putting on a big show to lure the enemy deeper?"
"General, we watched them burn the corpses with our own eyes. There is no lie!"
"Yeah yeah."
The returning soldiers agreed.
Burning corpses? The mighty general asked:
"How many bodies were burned?"
"At least there are ten or twenty of them. We can really see them."
The investigating soldier was sworn to it.
The mighty general thought for a moment, he couldn't really burn people for the sake of acting. Then he pointed out a few more capable men.
"Go and investigate again!"
"Yes, General!"
The leaders of the four major tribes glanced at Bai Xiao and saw that his expression had not changed and he was still wiping his sword. They all looked away and considered the situation at hand.
It seems that the second prince is so calm and relaxed, it seems that it is probably a lie?
But the second group of people who went to investigate came back and saw the same situation.
"General, they are indeed dealing with the plague. The smell of herbs is everywhere. If we don't attack now, when will we wait?"
"Yes, if they were not sick or in trouble, they would have taken a preemptive strike and attacked us in the past few days, right?"
The mighty general felt that things were not that simple. He turned around and looked at Bai Xiao. After all, he did not dare to be as arrogant as before:
"Second Prince, what do you think?"
Bai Xiao said indifferently:
"Whether it's true or not, let the vanguard attack and we'll know, right?"
The mighty general understood what Bai Xiao meant.
If the Yunxiao Kingdom's army is really vulnerable, then the vanguard army will definitely be able to win.
Their main force then took advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilated the Yunxiao Kingdom army in one fell swoop.
But if it was done as a cover-up, the Iron Wolf tribe would probably be lost in the Yunxiao Kingdom camp.
But in this way, we can see through the enemy's treacherous tactics and save the main force.
Surviving with a broken arm, this second prince is really a decisive and courageous person in killing.
I'm afraid that the little prince raised in the palace cannot defeat him.
The mighty general was heartbroken and ordered:
"Bring out the camp! March towards the Yunxiao Kingdom army camp, order the Iron Wolf tribe to be the vanguard, and launch the first round of attack!"
The soldiers of the Iron Wolf Tribe were all in panic when they saw everyone looking towards them.
If this is really a cover-up to lure the enemy in, wouldn't it mean that they would die?
"General, Second Prince, our Iron Wolf Tribe is a barrier to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom! The whereabouts of the Emperor's confidants! You have treated us like this, have you thought about how to explain it to the Emperor?"
"Stab it!"
Before anyone could react, the head of the young general who spoke from the Iron Wolf tribe had been separated from his body, and Gululu rolled more than ten feet away.
The blood-stained mouth and eyes were still wide open, which was very scary and frightening to see!
The body that had lost its head fell down with a "plop", staining the ground beneath him red.
The people from the Iron Wolf tribe behind him took a few steps back, and the scene was completely silent for a moment.
The mighty general's eyes widened, he slowly raised his hand, touched the blood that was spattered on his face, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at Bai Xiao beside him.
The sword held tightly in Bai Xiao's hand was still dripping with bright red blood. He opened his thin lips lightly:
"Those who disobey military orders will be killed without mercy! Break camp and set off!"
His cold expression and cold words were exactly the same as Jun Lingyun's.
No one, including the people of the Iron Wolf tribe, dared to say no again.
The soldiers quickly packed up their tents, lined up their troops, and marched towards the northern border of Yunxiao Kingdom in an orderly manner.
Bai Xiao took a few steps away from his horse, then looked back at the mighty general who was standing still.
"General?"
"The end is here!"
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
The mighty general responded with clasped fists, only to be surprised to realize that he actually used the title "Last General" in front of his deputy general, and also made a subordinate salute?
And Bai Xiao just accepted it with peace of mind!
The mighty general couldn't help but slapped his head in annoyance. Then he got on his horse and followed Bai Xiao.
He also peeks at Bai Xiao from time to time, what a ruthless character, what a ruthless character!
He actually felt oppressed by the momentum of Bai Xiao, who was a round younger than him. His life was really in vain!
But the movement of Bai Xiao's sword just now was so fast that he almost didn't see it clearly. The sword seemed to be an understatement, but it could directly cut off a person's head.
The mighty general now had to believe that Bai Xiao's martial arts skills were truly superior to his!
Then if he was so arrogant before, would the second prince hold a grudge?
The mighty general couldn't figure out how the prince who was raised outside could grow into such a powerful figure.
As he thought about it, he could already see the camp of Yunxiao Kingdom's army. Sure enough, there was smoke curling up.
The mighty general quickly calmed down his emotions and raised his hand to signal the army to stop.
"Vanguard Army, go and break the enemy camp and explore the reality!"
"Yes, General."
The soldiers of the Iron Wolf tribe deserve to be weak.
