Chapter 816: Enemy Attack

"What the head of the Liu family said is that we will promise to kill that kid and avenge the soldiers who died in the battle of Yangguo," Sure enough, the next moment, another family master stood up rhetorically, supporting what the Liu family master said, and at the same time expressing his position in line with Jian Lingshuang.

"Report to the city lord and all the family masters, it is roughly estimated that half of the soldiers in the camp of the front army of the night army have been poisoned, and the night army has been on guard around the camp, and the poisoned people are concentrated in the location of the big tent," when Jian Lingshuang was speechless by the two family masters, the sentry who had been riding a winged bird to observe the situation in the camp of the front army came back and went to the people to directly explain the situation he had seen.

"Good. ”

"Good. ”

......

Jian Lingshuang and several family heads applauded again and again, when they received the news that the night army had taken away a large amount of fierce beast meat, Jian Lingshuang and those family masters knew that there would definitely be people who were poisoned by meat, and it would not be a minority, because not all personnel would like to eat barbecue, there would definitely be people who cooked meat to eat, and now the place where the former army was stationed was still close to the water source.

And once someone eats the boiled meat, they will definitely be poisoned, and the more people who eat it, the more people will be poisoned, and now their spies have brought back the news that half of the soldiers of the Night Army have been poisoned, and this result has completely met their expectations. Coupled with the people in the blockade of the city, they have more than 30,000 people, not to mention the number of high-level martial cultivators, with their 30,000 manpower, there are still 20,000 left, and the morale is not high, no matter how you look at it, they have a better chance of winning.

In fact, at this moment, in the eyes of Jian Lingshuang and the others, they can completely kill the Night Army without leaving a single piece of armor, because the overall strength of their 30,000 personnel must be higher than that of the Night Army.

"Why did the Night Army gather the poisoned personnel?" When everyone felt that their actions tonight were ten or the same, one of the heads of the house unexpectedly questioned the abnormal situation reported by the spies in front of them.

"Could it be that there are capable people in the night army who can detoxify?"

"I don't think so, when marching into battle, whether it is the food that the army eats or the water they drink, they must all go through strict inspection before eating. If their pharmacist failed to find the problem before, I'm afraid that he won't be able to find the problem after the soldiers are poisoned, Master Liu, you don't have to worry too much, that poisonous insect is something unique to my Song family, and it is not easy for outsiders to solve!"

"Take a step back and say, even if they have a pharmacist who is lucky enough to detect the poison, they will never have the medicine to detoxify. If you take the liberty of healing, it will only make those who are poisoned die faster," the head of the family surnamed Song who spoke was full of confidence in his words, and even made people hear a little bit of mockery.

"What the head of the Song family said is that the high-level of the night army must have been too panicked and did not count the exact number of people in time, and now they are just moving those poisoned together to confirm the exact number. ”

"The master of the Shi family is really high-minded, haha......"

The statement of the head of the family surnamed Shi counting the number of people was quite a joke, although the person who answered the phone knew that Lin Xuanzhong and they didn't need to be so troublesome, he still smiled and agreed, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as long as the spies in the north confirm that the messengers sent by the Night Army have successfully arrived at the camp of the rear army, we can immediately notify the people on the blockade side to attack at the same time, so that the night army will be vulnerable to the enemy, and the left and right will be difficult to take care of. Presumably, in the case of half of the people being poisoned, after our flanking attack, the night army will definitely collapse, and tonight we will easily eliminate the remaining 20,000 night army, so that we can give an account to the king and the entire Yang country. ”

"Marshal Shi and the generals are still being escorted by the front army, if we deal with all the night troops, how will we deal with those people?"

"Those ministers who insult the country are in vain, and we will continue to lock them up, and then send them to Meteoric City to be disposed of by the king," Jian Lingshuang's face turned cold, and he didn't mean to save Shi Jiangchuan and the others, but said quite hostilely: "But if those people are killed or injured during the melee, then it doesn't matter to us." ”

"The city lord is wise, this matter will be done according to the city lord's wishes, we have no opinion," Immediately after, a person who had similar thoughts to Jian Lingshuang directly agreed with Jian Lingshuang's proposal without saying a word. The two took the lead, and the others naturally had no opinion.

Time passed little by little, and it didn't take long for Jian Lingshuang and the others to arrange for someone to confirm the information in the north, and after Chang Siyuan took dozens of light horses through the designated place, they directly returned to inform Jian Lingshuang and the others of the news.

After confirming that Lin Xuanzhong had sent a message for help to the rear army, Jian Lingshuang and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ordered an attack, and more than 10,000 Sword City personnel lurking halfway up the mountain with weapons one after another, and then walked to the other side. Knowing that there were night army sentries on the opposite hill, they were still not worried about revealing their whereabouts.

At the same time, in the former army camp, after informing all the soldiers that they could refine the antidote to stabilize the army's heart, Lin Xuanzhong and the other generals had been looking forward to the progress of Xue Yin's side.

Half an hour is longer than ten days and half a day, not only Lin Xuanzhong himself, but Zhang Jiutian and other generals are all waiting in a hurry. The more than 10,000 poisoned personnel were still lying on the ground, and now they were only half of their strength. Originally, the strength of the entire front army might not be able to deal with those local forces, but now the loss of half of the army is even more worrying. While waiting for the antidote to be refined, the generals below all expected that they would not be attacked.

However, they all know very well in their hearts that it is unlikely that their ideas will become true. Because if it were them, no one would let go of the current opportunity, so many people hoped that the goal of those local forces was the rear army. Because of this kind of thinking, Lin Xuanzhong had to worry more about the safety of the rear army.

In the past, many generals have made new speculations about the intentions of those local forces, but no matter what they say, there has never been a high-level view. The people outside still have to be ready to fight at any time, before treating those who have been poisoned. No one can afford to let up.

In terms of refining medicine, Lin Xuanzhong has always known that Xue Yin will definitely hurry up and don't need to urge himself. Before, because I was in a hurry, I still didn't fully understand Xue Yin's explanation about the poisoning problem. If there is still a chance, Lin Xuanzhong plans to ask clearly, see what kind of means the other party used, and unknowingly let half of the soldiers in the army be poisoned.

Those more than 17,000 people are by no means a small number, even if they organize a large mercenary team, they can form dozens of teams, and the person who poisoned them is really a big deal. It seems that even with more than 100,000 troops in the future, it will not be able to take food lightly. When Lin Xuanzhong was secretly thinking about the problem of personnel poisoning, the general who had just been sent by Lin Xuanzhong to check the state of the personnel came back and said that the mental state of the soldiers was not bad, and there should be no problem after a while.

The general's answer was quite satisfactory to Lin Xuanzhong, but Lin Xuanzhong was not sure what the final result would be. If the people guarding outside are the elite of the night army, Lin Xuanzhong is confident that he will lead half of the soldiers to persist in fighting until the other half of the soldiers are treated, but unfortunately, those soldiers are not the elite of the night army, so Lin Xuanzhong is not sure at all.

At the critical moment, he couldn't control the situation, this feeling was definitely not something that a leading general wanted to experience, but after thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong really had no other way.

"General, a large number of suspicious people have been found in the east direction, and I have come down with all the sentry posts on the mountain," as soon as those generals reported the status of the personnel to Lin Xuanzhong, General Qi hurriedly led some people from the east.

"The order is given, the soldiers in the east are ready to face the battle, and the personnel on the north and south are ready to respond, and they must deal a strong blow to the intruders. ”

"General, are the men from the west standing still for the time being?"

"Well, it is very likely that the other party will attack from both sides, and the five thousand soldiers in the west will continue to hold the formation," when the general below intended to let all the soldiers participate in the battle in the east, Lin Xuanzhong still insisted on his original idea. No matter how many enemies come from the east, the line of defense from the west must not be withdrawn.

"Then what if there are not enough people in the east?" Sure enough, when he didn't receive the news that there were also enemy personnel in the west, some generals still questioned Lin Xuanzhong's order.

"There are 10,000 troops on the north and south sides, and half of the troops can be drawn from the middle to support the east first, and the other half will be on standby, and there will be follow-up notice. In any case, it must be delayed until the Great Pharmacist treats the poisoned soldiers, "Whether the east can block the opponent's offensive, Lin Xuanzhong is not sure for the time being, but he also doesn't want to lie to the truth, so he can only talk about the battle plan ahead.

"Yes," the generals in charge of the eastern line of defense agreed in unison, and hurried to the eastern position. At the same time, the generals in charge of the northern and southern lines of defense also left, and until there was an enemy attack on the west side of the camp, their task was to first transfer troops to assist in the battle in the east, and the generals in charge of the western defense line were to remain on standby.

"General, they are coming," and not long after, a fire appeared on the eastern hill, and many figures appeared on the mountain one after another, and kept walking down the mountain.

"Kill," said some of the men, who shouted in more and more order as regular soldiers charged into battle, as they did when they were charging into battle, except that they were not as well armed as the army, and at most they were a group of lightly equipped foot soldiers.

"Shoot the arrows," and when those people rushed to the camp from the foot of the mountain, Zhang Jiutian, who was in charge of commanding the battle in the east, gave the order to attack as soon as possible.

"Boom, boom, boom......" At the next moment, several rows of archers in front of the array pulled their bowstrings in unison.

"Ahh......h As long as they were shot by arrows, they were either killed or injured, of course, some people only suffered a little skin injury, but in the dark night, it was indeed difficult for them to resist those arrows, and they saw that those fifth-order martial cultivators were wielding sword qi. One after another, the sword qi kept cutting or deflecting the shooting direction of those arrows, but it could have a little effect.
