Outside the Tartar camp, Zhu Zhanji ordered,""Send someone in to investigate the situation of the Tartars!”
"Yes, sir!"
……
Benyashri had taken the medicine given by the doctor and had stopped his diarrhea. However, his face was pale and his limbs were weak.
"What's going on? Why are my warriors suffering from diarrhea…"
"Did the cooks use unclean food?”
"Khagan, we might have been poisoned!"”
Ben Yashili asked weakly,""Poison? Why didn't the poison kill us directly, but instead made us have diarrhea?”
"Khagan, this subordinate discovered that the bread we ate was mixed with croton powder!”the medical officer said.
"Croton powder? Didn't we abandon all our croton in the old camp?……How could someone be mixed into the flatbread?
Who brought it back? Damn it, why hasn't he investigated clearly yet!？”
"This…this subordinate is not sure either!"
Ben Yashili seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly,"Have you found Ha 'er Dadai and his five thousand elites?”
" Khagan," the attendant replied." The two groups of scouts we sent out were shot down halfway. We have already reported this to you, but you did not give the order to send more scouts out.”
"Have you caught the Ming army that ambushed us?”
"The pursuers haven't sent anyone back to report.”
"How long have they been chasing us?" Ben Ya asked in shock.”
" It's been almost four hours…Normally, they should be back by now. There are only a few hundred Ming soldiers…"
The bad feeling in Benyashili's heart grew stronger.
"How many of our warriors have eaten croton powder?”
" Basically, all the generals ate it, even the centurions…In order to reward the army, the Great Khan also gave many low-level captains meat soup and flatbread…"
Ben Yashili's mind was spinning. He struggled to sit up and asked,""What about the ordinary troops?"
"The ordinary troops are eating dried meat and are fine.”
The generals were all lying in wait, and even if the troops were fine, they would be scattered like sand…The reward that he had given to stabilize the people's hearts had become a dagger that stabbed into the hearts of the tribe…
"How long will it take for the generals to recover?" Ben Yashili looked at the doctor hopefully.
"Khagan, the generals have already used medicine to stop their diarrhea…but it will take at least two days for them to recover…"
Ben Yashili closed his eyes in pain.
Two days?
Would the Ming army give them two days?
The Ming army already had a cavalry unit sneaking over to ambush them. Would their main force still be able to travel as slowly as before?
They couldn't wait anymore. They had to leave this place as soon as possible and retreat further away. The Ming army wouldn't wait for them to recover.
"How long will it take for your medicine to allow the generals to ride their horses normally?”
" About twelve hours," the doctor replied." Although it won't affect the journey, the generals 'bodies are still weak. A long journey will make them weaker, and their lives might even be in danger…"
Benyashili calculated silently in his heart. It would be noon the next day in 12 hours, and the Ming army had already crossed the Luqu River. The road ahead was smooth, and only the area near the Wuguerzha River began to become rugged…
If the Ming army sent fast horses, they would be able to catch up in less than two hours. Even if the main force of the army chased after them, it would only take more than six hours. It was too dangerous. With the generals 'current combat strength, if they were caught up by the Ming army, they would only be completely wiped out. They would not be able to escape!
He couldn't gamble. He couldn't afford to gamble! This was his entire fortune, the foundation for him to revive the Gold Family!
" Immediately find the craftsmen to make the carriages. We'll work overnight. You'll supervise it personally. We have to break camp before dawn tomorrow. The generals will travel together in the carriages. We can't delay…"
"There must be a large number of Ming soldiers hiding around us. Otherwise, the pursuing cavalry would have returned long ago!”
Ben Yashili wanted to send people to chase after them, but he was afraid that the pursuers would add fuel to the Ming army. Now, it was even more impossible to send people to chase after them. There was no general to lead troops!
……
" Your Highness, the Tartars have been tricked. Their generals are basically dead. I saw some Tartar generals being carried into tents…"
"When this subordinate returned, I encountered the Tartars gathering craftsmen to rush the carriage overnight!”
Zhu Zhanji nodded.”
" Making carriages overnight. It seems that the Tartars are determined to continue their journey…"
"Generals have to travel in carriages. How much combat power do they have left?”
"Your Highness, should we continue to ambush them now, or should we wait until tomorrow morning when the Tartars break camp?" asked Qi Wei.”
"Although the Tartar generals are temporarily crippled, their troops are not affected…" Zhu Zhanji chuckled.
"When the army is surrounding them, it's very difficult to kill all those who want to escape…"
" Let's not let them sleep. Let them stay with us for the night. We'll drag them down as many as we can…"
" Follow the original plan and greet Benyashili…"
……
"Is the defense of the Tartars so lax? We're already 300 steps away, and no one's calling us yet?!”
Zhu Zhanji ordered everyone to stop."Let's do it from this position. Let's send a wave of arrows first!”
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
