Chapter 295: Insidious and cunning
The Tanglin soldiers walked cautiously along the side of the swamp, thinking that they could bypass the swamp, but who knows......
Because no one has come here all year round, the ground has long been full of dead branches and leaves, and even the swamp is covered with a layer of dead leaves, and if it is not a heavy object on it, it is impossible to tell whether it is a swamp or not.

So, soon, someone fell into the trick and some soldiers fell in.
"Everybody pokes the ground with sticks, and if it feels like the dirt is soft, they go around." Qi Lianyu, who was staying in the middle of the crowd, raised his voice and said.
This forest is so weird, there are swamps everywhere, and there are dead branches and rotten leaves to cover up, which makes people unguardable, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it and lose your life.
Tang Yue brought 10,000 Xuan Feng and dared to provoke his hundreds of thousands of soldiers, at first she thought that she would have such a great confidence by relying on the lock trap array, but now it seems that he fell for Tang Yue this time.
The previous lock trap array was just a disguise, and the moat behind it was her big move.
She wanted to use this swampy woodland to wipe him out and the Tanglin army, no, he came with some of it this time, and there were 200,000 elite soldiers outside, if he went out, he wouldn't lose.
But now he can't get out at all, let alone lead the remaining 200,000 elite soldiers back again.
Even if he goes out, even if there are more than 200,000 soldiers, he loses more than 100,000 people at once, and his father will definitely not let him be the commander again, and he will definitely cut his military power.
Thinking like this, Qi Lianyu was resentful in his heart, if Tang Yue was in front of him, he would definitely bear the brunt of cutting her!
But if it's just if, he's a prisoner now, and it's too late to have any more remorse.
While he was thinking a lot, many soldiers fell into the swamp, and the road ahead was full of swamps, and it was impossible to prevent them, even if they poked the road with sticks, it would be useless, because they could not walk at all, and they were surrounded by soft mud, and they could not tell where the road was and which was the swamp.
Seeing this, Qi Lianyu could only lead the troops back.
But they didn't go a few steps when they turned around, but they didn't want to run into the swamp and lose a large number of soldiers.
Qi Lianyu found out that they were completely lost, and even more lost, and here he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
The Tanglin army all stayed where they were, and they didn't dare to move around anymore, because as long as they moved, they might fall into the swamp.
It's a terrible place, it's hell on earth, and those swamps are like beasts hidden underneath the ground, ready to open their mouths and swallow them at any moment.
However, if they stay here, all that awaits them is death!
Suddenly, the entire army was panicked and restless, and some simply squatted on the ground and trembled.
Everyone becomes fragile in the face of death, and who would want to die when they die.
Qi Lianyu was also very anxious in his heart, but he was the commander-in-chief, and he definitely couldn't mess with himself.
Is it really heaven to kill him! He was really unwilling!
Looking up, the branches and foliage covered the whole sky, and it was very depressing to stay here.
Qi Lianyu's eyes flashed slightly, and suddenly, he flew towards it, flying straight towards the top.
He can't die no matter what, even if all these hundreds of thousands of soldiers die, he can't die!
Two years ago, he was defeated in a battle with Feng Junyao, and at that time, he didn't abandon the hundreds of thousands of soldiers for his own lives and fled.
This time he still can!
Qi Lianyu's martial arts are very good, and his light skills are naturally not bad, he soared into the sky and went straight to the sky.
He thought he could fly out, but when he was about to reach the top of the tree, suddenly, he felt a wave of air coming towards his head and knocked him down from above.
Qi Lianyu hurriedly turned a few heels in the air before he narrowly gained a foothold, and fell back on his horse again.
He looked up, anger in his eyes.
This forest has set up a formation, and they can't get out at all.
But if they can't get out, it means that they will die here, he really doesn't want to die, and if he dies, there will be nothing.
Qi Lianyu's eyes were ruthless and a little afraid, and he shouted around: "Tang Yue, you come out for this king!" ā
As he spoke, he injected internal force, and his voice resounded throughout the forest, and there were echoes in the aftermath.
It's just that his shouts didn't get any response, let alone Tang Yue.
"Tang Yue, there is a kind of going out to fight with this king, hiding behind his back and using this kind of indiscriminate means, don't you think it's shameful." Qi Lianyu's curse sounded again.
This time, with a response, Tang Yue's indifferent voice sounded in the forest, "You don't know if you don't get tired of cheating, listen to the voice, you can know that the three princes are full of energy, it seems that the heat is insufficient, the three princes should continue to enjoy it here." ā
After saying this, there was no sound again, and the forest returned to its original calm again, and it was obvious that Tang Yue was speaking by the method of transmitting sound for thousands of miles.
Her words also caused a commotion among the Tanglin army, and she wanted to let them stay here, which didn't mean that they still had to face the coercion of death.
At this time, many Tanglin soldiers were afraid and a little hesitant, they were afraid of death, and they hesitated whether to surrender.
However, they knew that the commander did not say surrender, and the soldiers surrendered first, so they would be dealt with directly by military law before they fell into the swamp.
Qi Lianyu was furious by Tang Yue's words, and slapped a tree with a thick waist beside him, and the tree was suddenly broken by the waist and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Qi Lianyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
trees, they can cut down the trees one by one and go out along the trees.
Thinking like this, Qi Lianyu shouted loudly: "Everyone quickly cut down the surrounding trees, let's walk along the trees." ā
When everyone heard this, they all picked up the weapons in their hands and cut down the trees.
It's a good idea, but the reality is cruel.
Because there are hundreds of thousands of troops, if they all walk along the tree, it will be repaid, this will go to the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, and soon the person who will try it first will fall in because the carrying capacity on the tree is too heavy.
"Lord Wang, what should we do, we still can't go over." An Tanglin soldier ran to Qi Lianyu and said.
Qi Lianyu looked at the soldier who fell in again, his brows tightened a little, he observed the surrounding environment, and pretended to be calm and said: "All the soldiers obey the order and continue to rush forward." ā
His words shocked the soldier, "Lord Wang, there is a swamp ahead, if you continue to do so, you will suffer heavy casualties." ā
It's still unknown how much of the swamp is ahead, but if you go on like this, won't you step on the bodies of your comrades and move forward?!
Thinking like this, the general's face couldn't help but turn pale.
Qi Lianyu glanced at him coldly and said, "It is inevitable that there will be casualties in the war, if we don't do this, everyone will be buried here." ā
What can be done now is to use people and trees to pave the way, step on the person to pass, of course, the speed must be fast, so that he can pass, once the person falls into it, it is equivalent to nothing.
"However, they are all ......" The general wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qi Lianyu's words.
Qi Lianyu condensed the dantian, and his voice interspersed the entire forest, "Everyone, listen, from now on, every time two thousand people come out of a safe place to pave the road, if this king can successfully get out of danger, this king Chengruo will definitely upgrade every soldier who died here to three levels after he goes out, and provide for his family." ā
His conditions are indeed very tempting, but no one wants to die, and if he dies, there will be nothing.
But if you violate the military order, you will still die, both horizontally and vertically, it is better to die more valuable, and take the initiative to jump into the swamp to benefit your family.
That being said, of course, people will be timid when they really face death.
For a while, the whole army wanted to explode and talk about it, but there were few people who were really willing to come out, and everyone waited for the order to go before going, and they all had a fluke mentality, maybe they were lucky enough not to call them to be stepping stones.
Seeing that no one came out voluntarily, Qi Lianyu's face suddenly became gloomy, he raised his hand and pointed to a team of people, and said, "Team 91 and Team 8 lead the way." ā
The leading way in his words is naturally to pave the way with his own soft body.
The soldiers who were not named breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the two teams whose names were named with sympathetic eyes.
The soldiers who were named were suddenly desperate, they were destined to be sacrificed by name, but they were powerless to resist, just for the sake of their families.
The two teams walked in front of the people, and when they were about to step on the felled tree, Tang Yue's ethereal and quiet voice came from the forest.
"Let me tell you the truth, your location is in the middle of the forest, and there is a formation around it, even if you fill the entire swamp with human flesh, you still can't get out, and there are still 2,000 people in this swamp, and you can't pave a road if you fill in all the hundreds of thousands of people."
As soon as she said this, the soldiers who were about to step in immediately stopped their feet and stood there waiting for Qi Lianyu to withdraw the order.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't go in yet, she's talking nonsense, as long as we step out of a road, most of the remaining soldiers will come out alive, and your current sacrifice will not be in vain." Qi Lianyu roared angrily.
"What a waste." Tang Yue sneered: "I didn't expect the third prince of Qilian to treat his subordinates as human beings so much, and used the lives of 140,000 soldiers as stepping stones in order to survive for himself. ā
Her words were full of sarcasm, but when she also talked about Qi Lianyu's purpose, she was inevitably a little weak-hearted, and said angrily at the top, "Tang Yue, you don't want to confuse the people and stir up the morale of the army, don't fall for her, she wants us to annihilate the whole army, and you don't want to think that she is a hostile party." ā
In order not to let the morale of the army be discouraged and lose the hearts of the soldiers, Qi Lianyu tried his best to quibble.
Tang Yue laughed shamefully and said: "The third prince is really good at laughing, I am your hostile party, it's good, if I really want to kill you, I don't have to be so troublesome, just burn this forest alive and shoot arrows here, etc., there are ways to wipe out your whole army, but we do this, because I won't kill innocents indiscriminately, after all, you soldiers are not wrong, the reason why I am willing to wait is to give you a chance to live, as for this opportunity, it depends on you whether you want to live or not." ā
She really doesn't want to kill all the hundreds of thousands of people, she wants to win this war instead of killing everyone on the other side, not to mention that she is not Feng Junze's courtier, so there is no need to clear all obstacles for him.
As soon as she said this, the lack of reaction from the Tanglin army must have been fake, and many people who were not strong-willed began to waver.
Qi Lianyu suddenly panicked, and hurriedly threatened, "Don't listen to this demon girl, if everyone surrenders, she will definitely kill everyone, don't forget whose woman she is, as early as a few years ago, Feng Junyao led the troops to attack the White Witch Clan, and the people of the White Witch Clan have obviously surrendered, but he is still ruthless to kill all the nearly 100,000 people who surrendered, everyone can't forget this matter." ā
His words made those who were shaken immediately retract their hearts.
Tang Yue frowned slightly, Qi Lianyu was right, Feng Junyao did kill all the 100,000 Baiwu people who surrendered, but that was on Feng Junze's order, in fact, Feng Junyao wanted to release the surrendered people, how could Feng Junze give several orders in a row to let him cut down the surrendered people.
For this reason, Feng Junyao fell into the title of a killing god, and was called cold-blooded and ruthless by the world, but this black cauldron has a big back.
"I promise in the honor of Tianya Pavilion that if everyone surrenders, I will never kill anyone, except for Qi Lianyu, of course."
Her words made Qi Lianyu's face turn black to the bottom of the pot, that is to say, whether he surrendered or not, she would cut it if she wanted to?
Tang Yue paused and continued: "I still say the same thing, if you really want to annihilate your whole army, there is a way, the reason why you haven't acted so far is completely to give everyone a chance to survive, I know that everyone doesn't want to come to the war, after all, no one wants to die, don't say much, give you a quarter of an hour to think about it carefully, and those who are willing to surrender will take the initiative to tie up Qi Lianyu and throw them into the swamp, okay, I will wait for everyone's decision." ā
"Tang Yue, you're really not human!" When Qi Lianyu heard this, his lungs exploded.
She lured his soldiers into throwing him into the swamp, is this a human thing, it is so hateful.
Tang Yue smiled indifferently: "I'm not a human being, is it possible that I am a god in the hearts of the three princes, and the three princes will really lift me up." ā
"Who said you were a god, I have never seen such a shameless woman as you." Perhaps knowing that he couldn't live anymore, Qi Lianyu scolded angrily.
"Don't be angry with the three princes, if you die, who will I take to negotiate with the Tanglin Emperor, rest assured, for the sake of complete victory, first wronged the three princes to stay in the swamp for a while, and after getting everyone out, I will naturally rescue you from the swamp, you are still of great use now, and you will not let you die."
This remark gave hope to Qi Lianyu, who had reached despair.
It turned out that he didn't want to kill him, Tang Yue was right, he was indeed useful, his father was actually very optimistic about him, and he should agree to some conditions for Lingfeng for him.
Besides, if there is no him, who will lead troops to fight, just rely on that mediocre and incompetent second child, what else does he have besides relying on relationships, as for the fourth child, it is even more impossible, normal people are not counted, fighting is not a good family.
Of course, he is not worried about Tang Yue's fraud, he has been in power for many years and knows the internal affairs of various countries, Feng Junyao is equivalent to a time bomb in Feng Junze's heart, and he is always on guard, listening to the gossip, Feng Junze has not poisoned Feng Junyao once or twice.
Such a relationship between monarchs and ministers, once there is no external trouble, then Feng Junze's next target is Feng Junyao, he will regard Feng Junyao as the number one enemy, although Feng Junyao's ability is amazing and there is a noble wife like Tang Yue to help, but Feng Junze is the king of a country, and the strength behind him should not be underestimated.
Therefore, for the sake of his own interests and safety, Feng Junyao would never be able to clear all the external troubles for Feng Junze, and then stretch out his head for the other party to cut and kill, but he knew that Feng Junyao was not a good person.
Qi Lianyu pondered for a moment, and said very heavily: "It's all the fault of this king, let everyone fall into the trap with this king, since Princess Li said, as long as this king and all the generals are tied up and thrown into the swamp, it will give everyone a chance to live, and this king is willing to sacrifice himself to give everyone a chance to live." ā
His words moved him with emotion and reason, which made people feel moved by it.
Just now, he didn't hesitate to use the bodies of soldiers to pave the way for his own survival, and now he knows that he can't die, and he begins to speak out about how great he is.
However, most of the Tanglin soldiers were moved by it and thanked their three princes for sacrificing for them.
When Tang Yue heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, this move won the hearts of the people for Qi Lianyu.
However, she didn't bother to pay attention to it, she just needed to win the war, and she didn't want to completely destroy Tanglin.
Besides, with their hundreds of thousands of people, it is really impossible to destroy a country, and it is not good for her to destroy Tanglin, so why bother.
In order to show his greatness, Qi Lianyu took the initiative to lead the generals in the army to jump into the swamp.
After entering, he felt that his body was sinking, and if he said that he was not afraid, it must be fake, so he hurriedly shouted into the air: "Princess Li, this king has already done what you said, can you let all the soldiers go." ā
His words once again moved all the soldiers, and they knelt down to intercede for him, begging Tang Yue to release their three princes.
"You throw your weapons into the swamp first, and I will send someone to save your three princes."
As soon as Tang Yue's words came out, those soldiers threw the weapons in their hands into the swamp one after another.
After doing this, a group of people came out of the woods, about three thousand.
These people tied everyone with ropes, and although the speed was fast, they blew up Qi Lianyu in the swamp.
Seeing that it was about to go over his chest, and there were still people tied up here, it was extremely hateful.
