When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

Chapter 164 Verbal Attack

"Ye Qi, I heard that you fell down at the feet of a beautiful woman and couldn't stand up. You hid in the camp like a coward and didn't dare to come out. Why did you come to my camp today after thinking it through?"

"Could it be that the beauty is disgusted with you, so she rushed here today to die?!"

Lebrun shouted in the direction of the Ye family army in a frivolous tone, his voice full of sarcasm.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

When the people in Xichang heard this, they all laughed continuously, completely forgetting that their own command camp in front had been destroyed by the Ye family's army. They were extremely stubborn.

As they were sneering wildly, suddenly, an arrow shot out from the Ye family army's camp, passed through the gap in Xichang's defense shield, and went straight to Lebrun's carotid artery.

The gap was deliberately displayed to show his authority, and was used to persuade the Ye family to surrender.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Aisan noticed something was wrong, shouted, and was about to rush over to block the arrow for Lebrun.

Le Brun had seen the flying arrow, his eyes changed color, and he pushed away Aisan who was trying to block the arrow for him with one hand, and raised his sword with the other hand, and actually used it to chop off the flying arrow head.

"Ye Qi, you actually used sinister moves, how despicable!"

Le Brun gritted his teeth and the defensive shield formation in front of him instantly closed tightly, no longer daring to reveal any flaws for him to show off.

Ye Qi did not reply to his nonsense, but the Ye family army burst into laughter. The young general who shot Lebrun saw the enemy camp's flaws and shot the arrows immediately, intending to directly annihilate the long-tongued man. It seemed that he must be a high-ranking official.

"Good boy, you have a good aim! You deserve a reward!" Chen Qiyun said admiringly.

His archers have already been deployed, and they will shoot as soon as they get the chance!

Therefore, he now highly appreciates his subordinates' ability to make prompt decisions and kill the enemy instantly when the opportunity arises.

"He can just talk if he wants to, why does he have to reveal himself? In my lady's words, he is 'foul-mouthed, talkative, and ostentatious'. I can only shoot him with an arrow!" the young general muttered in confusion.

Everyone was already filled with indignation at Nalebrun's slanderous remarks against the general and his wife.

Moreover, ever since the battle outside Lancheng, Bai Xin had been through life and death with Chen Qiyun and his team, and they had already forged a deep revolutionary friendship. Hearing this young general imitating Bai Xin's usual way of teasing Li Ze, they suddenly found it extremely funny, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Even Ye Qi, who was in the team, curled his lips slightly when he heard it, thinking that this was indeed what Xin'er would say.

But then again, he was not angry when Lebrun made fun of him, because it was not a shameful thing to fall at the feet of Xin'er. Instead, it made him very proud.

Lebrun was so angry at the arrogant laughter of the Ye family army that he gritted his teeth and ordered: "When the reinforcements arrive, open the fence and surround them in this canyon formation!"

"Yes!"

When the people of Xichang heard the news, they accepted the order and waited for the right opportunity to strike a heavy blow.

However, he discovered that the Ye family army was unmoved at this time. They just confronted them outside the camp gate and showed no intention of attacking. This made Lebrun a little uneasy.

"Ye Qi, you came here today but have not attacked yet. Could it be that you are afraid of us?"

"Or you haven't figured out how to die yet?"

"If you come out now, I can either kill you or send your head back to the capital and let your emperor give you a reward, or you can be infamous forever!"

Lebrun couldn't hold back and continued to verbally attack the Ye family army in the camp.

However, when the Ye family soldiers heard this, no one reacted. They just quietly set up a defensive formation outside their camp.

"Ye Qi, if you don't accept my toast, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Archers, listen to my orders and get ready to shoot!"

Seeing that they did not move, Lebrun became furious and gave harsh orders without waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

"Yes!" The Xichang archers waited for orders, with arrows on the strings, ready to shoot.

At this time, the Ye family army improved their offensive formation and collectively retreated several meters, leaving only the shieldmen to defend in front.

Lebrun squinted his eyes and looked at the deployment of the Ye family army, puzzled.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Thunder-like sounds came from far behind the Xichang camp.

Everyone in Xichang turned their heads to look behind them at the same time, trying to find out what was going on.

"Your Highness, have reinforcements arrived?" the general guarding Lebrun asked tentatively.

Le Brun frowned slightly. If it was reinforcements, how could there be such a noise? He felt a little uneasy, but he didn't think that the enemy would be so capable as to get around their city.

There were continuous thunder explosions and faint sounds of fighting. Suddenly, the Xichang camp showed signs of panic.

"Don't panic, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Le Brun shouted sharply, he had sensed that his reinforcements were under attack and now he had no choice but to fight to the death.

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of drums from the top of the mountain came from all directions again. The drumbeats were continuous and rapid, lingering throughout the entire canyon.

Ye Qi's lips curled slightly. It seemed that Li Ze had already controlled the Xichang reinforcements. Then he ordered calmly and majestically: "Put on your equipment and prepare to change formations!"

"Yes!" The generals obeyed the order.

Following the drumbeats, the Ye family army skillfully changed their positions. In the confused and panicked eyes of the Xichang people, they saw several holes in the Ye family army's defensive shields, and seven or eight iron pipes resembling chimneys protruding from the holes.

Before the people of Xichang could react, thick smoke suddenly burst out of the iron pipe and continued to roll towards the main camp of Xichang.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what are they going to do?" The general was panicked as he looked at the incoming smoke.

"Don't panic, it's just smoke!"

Lebrun pretended to be calm and said, but after a while, he found that the smell of the smoke was very wrong. As the smoke continued to diffuse, it was mixed with a pungent smell that irritated the nose and eyes.

As the smoke grew thicker, the soldiers in the Xichang camp could no longer bear it. Coughing, sneezing, and retching sounds came one after another, and slowly they could no longer open their eyes.

The shield bearer who was defending in the front was smoked first. He kept coughing and crying. The formation was gradually disintegrating. As the smoke slowly came in, the rest of the people were not spared either.

Le Brun was also choked by the smoke and the pungent smell, and he kept coughing, retching, and crying. He could hardly sit upright on the high horse. The horse was also choked and twisted and sneezed continuously.

I could only jump off the horse, coughing and sneezing constantly, feeling the tearing pain in my chest and choking.

“Your Highness, cough, cough, Your Highness, cough… Retreat quickly, they are about to rush in…!”

Aisan and the generals who were protecting Lebrun kept coughing and choking, but they were still groping to help Lebrun retreat and escape.

Because in the fog, they saw the Ye family army's defensive shields opening and closing, and threw out several bombs, which immediately blew up their heavy fences and camp gates. The shield bearers who were defending in the front were also shaken and scattered, and coupled with the choking and coughing, they could no longer get up.

“Cough cough cough…Ye Qi, this sinister, cunning and shameless person, cough cough cough…!”

Le Brun struggled and cursed, choking and coughing uncontrollably and crying.
