The first thousand three hundred and eighth chapter increased anxiety
After subduing the commander of this food team, Zeng Hongshen said calmly: "Let them put down their weapons."
As he spoke, the soft sword in his hand moved slightly, and a faint blood mark was immediately cut on the commander's neck.
The commander's body trembled slightly, and he looked at the men who focused their attention on him. After a moment of silence, he said something in a hoarse voice.
This was a Western phrase. Although Zeng Hongshen didn't understand it, he guessed it from the man's solemn tone.
This is not what he wanted him to say.
In the midst of the lightning, an idea flashed in Zeng Hongshen's heart, and before he could fully understand it, he said directly: "Stop them."
However, it's too late.
Those who can be selected to sneak into the enemy's rear must naturally find ways to ensure their loyalty.
After hearing the commander's words, the Westerners hesitated and hesitated, but when they saw that they were about to fall into the hands of the Dali people, they all put the weapons in their hands into their bodies.
The one who was faster than them was the commander who issued the order to commit suicide.
"The time has come to serve your Majesty with loyalty."
As soon as he finished speaking, he bit out the poison hidden in his teeth without hesitation.
No matter how quick Zeng Hongshen reacted, he couldn't wait fast enough for the poison to seal his throat.
Snap!
The musket in his hand fell to the ground, and the commander of the Dashi team showed a ferocious expression. Within a moment, his body completely collapsed and turned into a dead corpse.
And those big cannibals who stabbed their weapons into their bodies also fell to the ground.
In an instant, everyone in the Dashi team died.
Zeng Hongshen's expression was ugly. He didn't expect the enemy to be so decisive, so he took action a step slower.
"Tidy up."
After saying a few words, he took back his weapon and walked back to the carriage.
Standing on the side of the carriage, Zeng Hongshen reported unwillingly: "Your Highness, all the enemies committed suicide. The old man did not do his job well and left no one alive."
"It doesn't matter."
Di Xin's voice came out from inside the carriage.
"It's just a few thieves who have sneaked in. Even if they stay, they won't be able to get any useful information. Just pack them up and move on."
There was no trace of regret in his tone.
"yes."
Zeng Hongshen handed over his hand.
He also knew that those people were probably just ordinary soldiers of Dashi. Even the commander's status was not too high and he did not have much confidential information. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the rear of Dali, and he would have also been responsible for the convoy.
Carry out an assassination.
What he was unwilling to accept was that after he took action, no one was left alive.
After a while, the guards who cleaned up the battlefield returned, and the convoy set off towards the front line again.
…
Within the carriage.
After Zeng Hongshen finished his report, Di Xin closed his eyes and frowned slightly.
"Your Highness..."
Song Qianwei stretched out her hand. The woman's small fingers could only hold the man's big hand.
Di Xin wrapped Song Qianwei's small hand in his big palm with his backhand, and comforted her: "Don't be nervous, it's okay."
Even though he said this, his brows did not loosen.
Although no one was left alive, the collective suicide of the enemy team vaguely confirmed Di Xin's previous guess.
It is not unexpected that Dashi soldiers appear behind Dali. Now this place is close to the front line. In addition to the interlaced battle lines that may push the enemy troops over, the enemy troops that were broken up in the previous battle may also be scattered here.
This side.
But in the previous war that lasted for several days, if Dashi's army was really demoralized by An Junshan and Ouyang Xuan, where would these Dashi troops who appeared behind Dali have the courage to attack Dali's convoy?
If you fail, how can you have the courage to commit suicide?
The performance of the enemy team, no matter from any aspect, did not seem to have lost morale.
Also, he has not received any battle reports from the front line since yesterday.
The uneasiness in Di Xin's heart became more and more serious.
"Wei San."
"My subordinate is here."
Listening to the respectful voices outside the carriage, Di Xin named several strongholds and then ordered: "Take Gu's token, go to these strongholds, and mobilize 10,000 soldiers to rush to the front line."
With that said, Di Xin put a token out of the carriage.
These strongholds are all places they have passed through before.
"I obey my orders."
Wei San received the order and immediately left the team.
Zeng Hongshen had been riding around the carriage to protect him. After Wei San left, he asked with some concern: "Your Highness, this is..."
He also knew where Di Xin was concerned.
"Just in case."
Di Xin said in a deep voice: "The situation may not be as bad as we thought, so don't mess up your position."
"yes!"
But after a while, Zeng Hongshen's voice sounded again: "Your Highness, why don't we wait for a few days and wait for Wei San to bring the army before we act together."
Di Xin refused: "No need."
"You need to understand the real situation. The sooner you get to the front line, the more time you have to think about how to make arrangements."
"Don't worry, I won't take risks at will."
"I know."
After hearing this, Zeng Hongshen stopped trying to persuade him.
In fact, he is not worried about danger. On the battlefield, there will be danger everywhere.
What he was worried about was that His Highness advised him not to mess up his position, but he chose to advance rashly because he was worried about the frontline troops.
Although there are three innate grand masters in the team, and the more than 200 guards are practicing top-level martial arts with magical defensive powers, if they are really trapped by the army, these numbers will not last long.
He could sacrifice his life for His Royal Highness, but it was better not to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Of course, Zeng Hongshen did not expect it to be so serious. After all, His Highness was not a newbie on the battlefield, so he should understand these principles.
But on the battlefield, you are not afraid of overthinking, just afraid of not thinking about it.
He just said something more out of his own identity and responsibility.
Next, although the convoy did not stop to wait for the arrival of the army, it still changed to a more secretive route.
In order to save time, the convoy did not enter any of the strongholds, but one or two people were sent out by Di Xin towards those strongholds.
The convoy moved towards the front line secretly.
Perhaps because of the change of route, or perhaps because there were not many enemy troops infiltrated from the rear, the convoy did not encounter any more ambush.
But as he got closer to the front line, Di Xin became more uneasy.
And he quickly found the reason for his worsening uneasiness.
It's too quiet.
The quietness here does not mean that there are no sounds of insects, birds and beasts, but as he gets closer to the front line, not only does he not encounter any more enemy ambush, but he also does not see a team from the Great Li Expeditionary Force.
