Chapter 512: Designing the Night Army

Winless City was defeated, as the commander of the Wing Army, Ruan Qiling could be said to have lost face, and he never thought that under such a disparity in strength between the two sides, the Wing Army would lose to the Night Army.

Ruan Qiling was very disappointed with his subordinates, but the great revenge could not be avenged, and more than 200,000 people of the Wing Kingdom could not be sacrificed in vain, so Ruan Qiling did not have the advice of the audience to retreat to the territory of the Wing Kingdom, but insisted on choosing a secret location in the Beast Ridge Pass and stationing down.

There were 50,000 or 60,000 troops, many of whom were wounded, but after a period of recuperation, the situation of the army had greatly improved. Recently, Ruan Qiling has been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of the Night Army, and he also knows that the Night Army will not know that they have not retreated.

With the defeat of Winless City, the Wing Army lost the possibility of confronting the Night Army head-on, and now although the garrison is there, Ruan Qiling can only plan a strange strategy to deal with the Night Army. After many days of negotiations with the generals, Ruan Qiling finally came up with a clever plan. The troops in the army are insufficient, but they can take advantage of the terrain and use external forces, and the army rushed to the Beast Ridge Pass the night before, which is giving them a chance to attack.

Ruan Qiling's clever plan is to use the power of fierce beasts to deal with the Wing Army, and the Beast Ridge Pass is a place where fierce beasts live, and it can be said that there are fierce beasts everywhere here. And their Yiguo is already good at taming beasts, and this time they came to conquer the night army, Ruan Qiling also specially brought animal tamers with them, so there are ready-made beast tamers in the army.

After discussion, Ruan Qiling sent people back to the Wing Kingdom to get a lot of things that could attract fierce beasts according to the request of the beast tamer. The winged bird is the national bird of the winged country, the winged bird is the national bird of the winged country, the body is huge, the four wings are good at flying, its back is extremely wide, it can sit on people, and the strength can carry a normal-sized carriage to fly in the sky for a long time, which is called the winged car.

In the Wing Country, the Wing Car is a special traffic attack, generally used by powerful people to carry people or transport things, the Wing Bird's physical strength lasts, flying from the Beast Ridge Pass to the territory of the Wing Country, back and forth from sending information to bringing things back, but two days.

After those special items were delivered, the animal trainer found something that could be used to attract fierce beasts, and then according to the plan, Ruan Qiling first sent people to scatter some medicinal powder specially used to attract fierce beasts around a long distance from the camp.

The amount of it went from small to large, and the smell of those medicinal powders led the fierce beasts in those places in one direction. The medicinal powders used to attract fierce beasts are made by the beast tamers of the Winged Kingdom with the essence blood of various fierce beasts and specific medicinal materials, which have a unique smell and are generally used by animal trainers to catch specific fierce beasts.

This kind of thing is very common in Yiguo, and most animal trainers know this kind of thing very well, so with the help of animal tamers, Ruan Qiling's plan was executed very smoothly.

Calculating the time, it has not been long since the 30,000 former troops of the Night Army arrived at the border pass, and Ruan Qiling is starting to complete the next part of the plan.

At the same time, the front army of the night army marched very slowly with grain and grass and baggage, but after several days of non-stop hurrying, the front army was already about to reach the border. More than 30,000 people escorted hundreds of truckloads of grain and grass, and the whole team was several miles long, looking mighty.

In the front army, the infantry was the majority, the archers were in the middle, and the cavalry fought only a few, mainly to help the large army and battalion.

A day later, after the 30,000 former troops rushed through the border city to thirty miles outside the city, the first thing they did was to set up camp. Beast Ridge Pass is not like Xilan Pass, there is no tall city wall, and a dilapidated small city is even more dilapidated after being sacked by the wing army. Where there are no garrisons in the city, it is better to build camps farther away from each other than to be stationed directly outside the city, so as not to interfere with each other.

The outside of Beast Ridge City was even more desolate, because usually no city citizens would leave the city from the south, and the south gate was even closed all the time, because Beast Ridge City was already very close to the area where the beasts were active.

Thirty miles from the city, surrounded by woods, after deciding to camp here, the night army had a lot to do, and now under the command of Zhang Yitong, all the soldiers were busy building the camp.

After several days of marching, the night army maintained a pace that was neither fast nor slow, giving the winged army sufficient time to prepare. The Wing Army is very clear about the Night Army's every move, but the Night Army knows nothing about the Wing Army, and the front army is only guarding against some fierce beasts on the way forward.

Now while he was busy setting up camp and cooking on the fire, Zhang Yitong didn't take into account the existence of the wing army at all, and just sent people around to briefly check the situation around the camp, but in this wilderness, at most, he just observed the movements of the fierce beasts, and those sentry detectives did not find anything.

In the evening, the night army finally finished setting up the camp tent, set up protection on all sides, and under Zhang Yitong's instructions, a very small number of people were left to take turns to keep vigil, and most of them had a good rest and enough energy to expand the camp tomorrow.

Those who were in charge of the vigil were not afraid of a fierce beast breaking into the camp because of the open fire everywhere in the camp. Without the slightest hint of vigilance, in the middle of the night, one by one, drowsy, seven of the last ten men standing guard sat down to rest. Especially in the second half of the night, the people who had originally arranged for the change of guard did not come to change the guard for those who had kept vigil before, and those soldiers who had been on vigil continued to sleep while asleep, and those who did not fall asleep prepared to sleep.

After many days of marching, they finally arrived at Beast Ridge Pass and could be stationed, and they all wanted to rest for a night. On the other side, this is the case with the Wing Army, etc.

There were sentry scouts of the Winged Army lurking around the camp, and they had been paying attention to the movements of the Night Army, and the situation in the Night Army camp was no different from what Ruan Qiling expected. After sending back information about the Night Army's camp, by the second half of the night, the camp was already full of Wing Army sentinels. These people continued to lurk around the Night Army camp for a while with the mission that Ruan Qiling had given them the mission they had to complete.

By the time all the people in charge of the guard relaxed their vigilance and slept on the ground one by one. Those black-clothed winged soldiers, one by one, appeared from the dense forest or behind the weeds, and one by one carried a bag of things and lightly touched the camp of the night army, a total of more than a dozen people, without exception, all of whom were selected by Ruan Qiling with outstanding skills.

According to Ruan Qiling's instructions, after entering the night army camp, more than a dozen people would open the package at more than a dozen locations, sprinkle the medicinal powder in the package on the ground, and then quickly leave the night army camp. In any case, the Night Army could not be allowed to catch one of them and ask for questioning.

The special medicinal powder they carried was refined from the famous poisonous flower agave in the Northern Regions, and it had a unique smell that ordinary people could not smell at all. But for the fierce beasts, ten or a hundred miles away, the smell emitted by the medicinal powder is strong and abnormal, and more importantly, it will lead them to the camp of the Night Army.

A dozen people scattered the powder almost all over the camp, and after the operation, the men in black quickly exited the camp and disappeared without a trace, everything silently, as if nothing had just happened.

After diving into the forest, some of the men returned to their lives from the safety route, while others continued to lurk around the camp, but those who remained were high in the forest.

The strange fragrance in the medicinal powder continued to spread into the distance, and Ruan Qiling sprinkled the medicinal powder elsewhere, and soon more and more fierce beasts smelled the strange fragrance in the air that made them crazy, and one by one, whether they were foraging for food just now, enjoying their prey, or resting, without exception, they raised their heads and looked ahead, their eyes flashing with a fierce light.

After a moment's pause, wolves, tigers, bears, and birds of prey perched on trees all rushed or flew in the direction from which the scent came from.

For a while, there was a roar around the night army camp for hundreds of miles, and the sound of groups of fierce beasts running was everywhere. It's like a beast tide, and the numbers are gathering more and more. Sometimes, even if several different groups of fierce beasts are mixed together, there will be no friction, as if all the fierce beasts are vying to reach the direction where the strange fragrance comes from first, and the further you go, the more obvious the aroma becomes.

In order to attack the night army, Ruan Qiling put a lot of effort into arranging people everywhere to spread the aroma of medicinal powder, and rode horses from a fixed position towards the night army camp one by one, sprinkling medicine powder all the way, leading the fierce beasts around closer and closer to the night army camp. Because the night army camp has the strongest fragrance, those fierce beasts will run to the night army camp on their own after reaching a certain range.

The movement of the fierce beast was also in the situation of the Wing Army's reconnaissance, and not long after receiving the successful task of sprinkling medicinal powder in the night army camp, Ruan Qiling received information about the fierce beast from the sentinel, and according to the content of the information, their plan had been successful.

At this moment, in the big tent of the Wing Army, Ruan Qiling and the beast tamer who was responsible for planning this beast attack and many Wing Army generals were there.

"Master Zheng, the main credit for the success of the plan to attack the night army with fierce beasts this time lies with you, and when the matter over there is over, this commander will definitely give Master Zheng a great credit. Ruan Qiling smiled, thinking that the front army of the Night Army would definitely disappear after being attacked by fierce beasts, and his heart was very happy.

In the Wing Country, animal trainers are generally called "divisions", and different people only need to add a different surname in front.

"Thanks to the marshal for taking a fancy to Zheng, Zheng first thanked the marshal for his promotion," Zheng Shi replied with a smile, and did not have anything to do with Ruan Qiling.

"It's a pity that it's just a front army," this plan was successful, Ruan Qiling was extremely happy, but there was a little regret that it took so many twists and turns to destroy only one of the front troops of the Night Army.

"Marshal, then why don't you wait for all the night troops to arrive before implementing the plan?" a general heard what Ruan Qiling meant, and immediately asked.

"You think I haven't thought about it, it's not that Ben Shuai doesn't want to, it's that Ben Shuai can't, Zhao Xu is not as good as Zhang Yitong who led the army, and he has always been strict with the army, and then we won't be able to get close to the camp of the night army, let alone implement the plan. ”

"Isn't it effective to throw powders around the camp of the Night Army?" asked another general.

"Ben Shuai naturally thought about it, but in that case, the Night Army may have already noticed the arrival of the fierce beast before it was surrounded by the beast, and when the time comes, we only need to choose a direction to break through, and our plan will not have any impact on them. If the night army discovers the traces of our army, we may not even have a chance to use the strategy at that time. ”

"What about when their Chinese army arrives?" a general did not give up, and wanted to ask again.
