C192 toxic gas attack

Just when all the cavalry thought that they had lost, the furious Sun Sanhu who had been chasing after them the entire way finally arrived.

"Good, good, good, this is the Great Qing's Green Battalion? How could the imperial government raise a bunch of trash like you? You can't even handle a little woman, yet you still have the face to live? You still have the face to breathe? "Sooner or later, I'll remove all of your plans. All of you, scram back home and eat yellow mud …"

The Green Camp cavalry soldiers were already angry, how could they withstand the mockery, ridicule and curses of this newcomer?

"I'm done, I'm not going to serve you anymore. If you have the guts, then go kill yourself …" Brothers, let's go! " Right at that moment, a shadow suddenly floated in front of the soldier with a fiery temper. Immediately afterwards, he felt a little cold and a little wet at the throat.

The soldier reached out to touch his throat, only to discover that his palm was flushed red with shock. Then, a mist of blood sprayed out. It turned out that the black figure that floated past was Sun Sanhu. The steel dagger in his hand was indeed worthy of being called a top-notch item in the inner sect.

The soldier looked at the blood mist spraying out of his throat in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but blood gushed out of his mouth as soon as he opened it. With a flash, he fell from his warhorse into the snow, his legs still twitching.

"Did you see it clearly? This was the result of rebelling against the imperial government! "Don't forget, this is the Great Qing Dynasty. You are all soldiers of the Emperor, and I am the Royal Hawk Dog. I am the Knife guard of the Forbidden City. I have a secret decree in my hands …"

"What are you all looking at? What kind of eyes were those? It was impossible to rebel! "If you keep looking, you're going blind …" Sun Sanhu looked around, his killing intent finally deterred the crumbling Green Battalion.

The Chinese Army's Green Camp, this kind of organization had existed before the Qing Dynasty even began its existence. These armies, with the surrender of the Chinese as the main body, did the hardest and most tiring work during the process of the expansion of the Qing Dynasty's territory. They completed the most difficult and most dangerous tasks, but received the least rewards.

Facing the strict imperial authority, they did not dare to resist at all. It had to be said that their families were all recorded in the Green Battalion, and as long as one was a rebel soldier, the only thing waiting for them was a complete massacre.

Under Sun Sanhu's terrifying threat, these soldiers obediently pulled their horses' heads, preparing to continue their attack on the Xiao family's mansion. However, at this moment, the Xiao Clan had just joined the ranks of a number of fresh troops. It would not be easy to eat them all.

"Large... Lord, we only have these one hundred plus people right now, but the Xiao family has nearly seven hundred reinforcements. Even if we wanted to fight them, we wouldn't be able to do it … "It's not that we're afraid to fight, it's just that we're afraid to delay your business …"

"That's right, that's right. It's nothing if we lost one of our lowly lives, but if we were to delay the emperor's mission, wouldn't you die of hunger as well?"

The soldiers started to talk back to Sun Sanhu, but they did not expect Sun Sanhu to not laugh out loud. "Hehe, you idiots, stop acting like you're only hiding needles, I am already prepared, how can I not use my brain to deal with Xiao Letian?"

While they were talking, Sun Sanhu jumped onto the horse that the dead cavalry soldier had just dismounted and waved to one of the Death Soldiers beside him. The two of them quickly urged their horses to run towards the east, and not far from them was a pitch black warehouse.

Not long after, Sun Sanhu and the Death Soldier each carried two bulging sacks, and with just the strength of their legs, they were able to nimbly control the horses to avoid the obstacles on the ground.

"Brothers, the warehouse is filled with charcoal and sulfur. Throw them into the fire, burn them, choke them to death …" This time the cavalry realised that Sun Sanhu had already searched through the terrain on the way here. Dammit, why didn't we think of checking out those warehouses?

The vexed cavalrymen shuttled back and forth between the warehouse area and the mansion like long dragons, throwing sacks after sacks of sulphur and charcoal into the fire field with the help of their war horses. Fortunately, there were no saltpeter in the warehouses, otherwise, the fire would have been filled with explosives.

"Accelerate! If you're mounted, then you must have the appearance of cavalry. Raise your speed, as long as your warhorses don't stop, they won't be able to do anything to you …"

Sun Sanhu's instructions were correct. Right now, there were no horses in the Xiao family's mansion, so these two-legged soldiers could only use the range of their fire spears to intimidate the riders. However, in the middle of the night, when they encountered such a group of masters controlling their horses, the accuracy of their fire spears was greatly reduced.

Right now, Xiao Letian's side was already in a mess, everyone could only watch as bags of charcoal and sulphur were thrown into the fire, with the exception of a small portion of the people who fell outside, the rest that were directly thrown into the fire could not be fished out.

Charcoal was easier said than done. The houses had already been completely burnt, so adding some more firewood wouldn't be a problem. However, sulphur was not easy to deal with when it met fire. The large amount of sulphur dioxide emitted by it was a typical poisonous gas, which was very irritating to the human body's mucous membranes. Not long later, the entire inner chamber was filled with violent coughing sounds.

"Cough, cough, cough …" My eyes, give me some water, my eyes are going blind... "I can't catch my breath. Master, quickly think of a way to deal with this wicked bunch of things …"

What could Xiao Letian do, luckily there was water in the pond, and there was plenty of cotton in the house, so he split one each and tied it to his nose and mouth, using it as a simple gas mask.

At this moment, only the main house of the Xiao family was still intact while the outside was already a circular sea of fire. Looking back at the tunnel, it was already filled with corpses.

"Lord, this group of bastards wants to trap us to death. If we continue to burn like this, none of us will be able to survive …" "Lord, why don't we split up and break out of the encirclement? Let's first lure away the enemy before you retreat. There might be a way for you to survive …"

"Bullshit!" Do you know who that person outside is? "That is the secret protector of the Red Sect in the capital, a professional killer nurtured by the Qing Dynasty for 200 years. They have done this many times, it is impossible for them to break out of this trap …"

The intelligence agency set up in the capital of Chun Sanshiniang was not for nothing. The secret information about all the Red Churches in the martial arts world had already been delivered to Xiao Letian's hands yesterday, the information indicated that these Red Churches protectors had secretly carried out many sect extermination cases, their methods were extremely cruel and their experience was extremely rich.

In front of such a character like this, splitting up and breaking out of an encirclement was suicidal, not to mention that the other side only had a bunch of cavalrymen in their hands. Even if they attacked one at a time, they would still be able to do so.

"Right now, we can only defend the road with our lives. As long as we can defend until daybreak, as long as we can defend until our new troops come back to reinforce us, we will have won …" "Cough, cough, cough. Fuck, tear another piece of cotton cloth for me, I'm going to choke to death …"

Xiao Letian knew that he had not lost, he had only been disrupted in the rhythm of the battle. In the Xiao Family residence, the situation was extremely urgent, but in the eyes of the entire Tanggu City, he had already won.

In the black wilderness, a war horse galloped until it was covered in white smoke. A broken banner flapped in the wind, and Dragon Lord, as expected, was a man who did not take the normal route. It didn't matter if it was a canal or a snow pile. A warhorse would always be able to get past it.

There were three cavalrymen who were still in hot pursuit of him just a moment ago, but before they had even traveled five miles, each of them had already died horribly under Dragon Lord's hidden weapons. Now, all of Dragon Lord's eyes were focused on the south, he could already hear the waves of shouts and cries of battle in front of him.

The fire was getting closer and closer. Not only were the torches lit by the Marines, but there were also rows of guns lit up in the shadows. It was exceptionally eye-catching in the middle of the night.

"Who is it?" Dragon Lord's hooves alarmed the soldiers on the side. Soon after, a row of Spencer pointed towards the direction of the horse.

"I am Xiang Shaolong … Pass down the lord's order... Palm Flag! The palm-sized flag is broken! " A loud roar that was filled with inner strength resounded through the wilderness, and both sides could hear it loud and clear.

"Palm Flag? What flag do you want? " A chill ran through the hearts of the three struggling deputy Generals. The Chinese have been sensitive to flags since ancient times, so why was rebellion called flag pulling? This was because the flag represented an army or even a force.

If not for the military flag, Xiao Letian could explain that these soldiers were Western style guards, but if these soldiers had their own flags, that would only mean that Xiao Letian was going to rebel, and there would be no other excuses.

When these young men heard the words Palm Flag, they were startled. When they saw Xiao Letian, who no one could stop, claiming his allegiance, the entire army exploded with thunderous roars.

"The war flag is our war flag … Master's blood flag … Victory! " The young lad was completely mad, they once again thought back to the scene when tens of thousands of people charged towards the enemy. With the broken flag, it was like Xiao Letian had personally arrived.

"Brothers, Lord Xiao has ordered … Get rid of the enemies in front of you immediately, and use the fastest speed to get rid of them. The Lord is surrounded now, he is waiting for your reinforcements! "Don't disappoint the lord …"

Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun and Wang Huaiyuan rushed to the front of Dragon Lord's horses. Where is Master now? "

"In the Xiao family's mansion, we were trapped by two hundred cavalrymen. My lord said …" "You guys did the right thing, dividing the troops is the lord's recklessness, your decision is the right thing to do …"

"But I also want to tell you that the Lord wants you to go all out and defeat these enemies with the fastest speed possible before bringing your entire army to save him … "Time, master, what you need now is time …"

Now that the situation had come to this, there was no need to waste any more words. The blood flag was already floating in the air, there was no need to incite anyone else. All of the soldiers had gone mad, the blood flag represented Xiao Letian, and under this battle, either you win, or you die together with the enemy.

The blood flag, the flag of death, the flag of slaughter, was the flag formed by the souls of the New Army. The moment this flag was raised, it proved the doomsday of these Green Battalion.
