Chapter 357: Playing with people's hearts and poisoning Leshan
"The Seventh Formation, Break!"
While the roar like thunder exploded, Yang Renjie's whole body was suddenly empty. At this time, he had already passed through the sixth cavalry. There were still about 2,500 iron cavalry in the Thunder God Camp behind him. However, the Jin army, which had been powerful before, was only four square formations in the city of Leshan in front. The 14,000 Jin cavalry in the other seven square formations had turned into corpses, scattered on the mountain road that stretched dozens of miles behind.
Seeing the hundreds of surviving cavalry fleeing back in a hurry, Yang Renjie did not pursue him, panting and retracting the Purple Thunder Sword, using his mind to calm down his restless true energy. Xiang Beibei beside him also raised his hand and clenched his fists when he saw this, and directed everyone behind him to re-form the formation.
Previously, Yang Renjie comprehended the meaning of martial arts in the front battle. Although he had not broken through to the fifth realm, he was able to completely grasp the military force of 1,500 thunder cavalry. After defeating the third formation, the remaining four military formations were difficult to resist their fierce and fierce sword intent, and collapsed one by one.
When Yang Renjie broke through the third formation, the two fifth realms of Leshan City wanted to take action, but immediately, two martial arts intentions that were only inferior to the two of them immediately surged up behind the Thunder God Camp, forcing them back.
Although the five realms of the Thunder God Camp are inferior to the two of them, the momentum of the Thunder God Camp after breaking several formations is in full swing. The army that the two can gather is less than 70% of the past, and the other party's aura is almost the same as that of the Thunder God Camp. Obviously, it can take advantage of the Thunder God Camp's military power. If you fight, you will be afraid that it will be difficult to decide the outcome.
It is difficult to decide the outcome of the battle in the five realms, but the battle between the two armies below did not have the upper hand at all. While the two were hesitating, Yang Renjie had already broken through the seven formations in a row. It was too late to take action at this time.
Seeing that Yang Renjie and others did not attack with the trend, but re-formed the formation there and accumulated strength. Wanyan Dang, the city defense general of Leshan City, glanced at several times and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, will they let them be there to prepare with peace of mind? Otherwise, they will rush over before they have gained a foothold now!"
The Lord of Leshan City, Wanyan Zhen, frowned thickly, and after a while, he shook his head and said solemnly: "The strength of Wanyan Tieshan is only slightly weaker than our brothers, but he was killed by Yang Renjie with a sword in the fourth realm. At this moment, the Thunder God Camp military power is at its peak, and the two five realms behind their formation should not be moved arbitrarily."
"What should I do?" Wanyan Dang frowned and asked.
"Let's retreat first!" The tiger's eyes swept over the Thunder God's cavalry, whose breath was no more than 70% of the usual day, were in full swing. Wanyan Zhen suddenly sighed and said lightly, "This battle is invincible. Unless you and I have the plan to die together regardless of the losses, they can only retreat first and use the city wall to resolve the advantage of the opponent's cavalry attack."
Wanyan Dang's eyes widened when he heard this, and after a while, he hissed unwillingly: "I, Dajin, used cavalry battles to pacify the northwest land. Now you and I have to give up cavalry battles and fight the city walls to face the enemy. It's shame!"
But in just one stick of incense, Yang Renjie had calmed down his restlessness. He just waited for him to look into the distance again, but he found that the only eight thousand iron cavalry were retreating backwards.
However, although it was a retreat, the enemy's actions were still in order and not at all disordered, which also cut off Yang Renjie's plan to take the opportunity to attack.
At this time, Song Kai, Chu Wujie and Chu Changsheng had also rushed over from behind the formation. When they were fighting, the two elders of the Chu family only used their momentum to restrain Wanyan Zhen and Wanyan Dang, and protected Song Kai at the rest of the time. They were not here until the battle ended.
"Kaikai," Seeing Song Kai coming, Yang Renjie suddenly grinned, bent his arms with a strange expression, revealing the muscles on his arms, "I just realized the intent of the Crazy Sword!"
Squinted at him, Song Kai silently looked at the Jin army that was retreating, and said lightly: "Brother Yao has already realized the sword soul realm."
Yang Renjie's smile froze, then he recovered as before, stretched his arms again, and laughed: "At most half a month, I will definitely be able to break through to the fifth realm!"
"Brother Yao is already in the fifth realm." Song Kai withdrew his gaze and replied lightly.
"I'll take a break! Can you not mention the evil and perverted old demon? The protagonist is amazing!" Yang Renjie muttered for a while in a fury before waved his hand angrily, and said unhappy, "First leave the mountain road, find a place to set up camp, and then discuss the siege."
Everyone rested on the spot for a while, and waited until there was no trace of Jin soldiers at the end of the mountain road before they formed a formation again. Then they slowly walked up the mountain road, and after a moment they came to the end and walked into a plain.
The terrain of Sichuan and Chongqing is indeed mysterious and magical. It was obviously a narrow mountain road the moment before, and the next moment it was a plain that stretched for hundreds of miles. Although the outline of the mountain range was still visible at the edge, it could no longer hinder the operation of the Thunder God Camp.
Everyone advanced for a long time, and found a flat land about ten miles outside Leshan City, and camped on the spot. More than 2,500 cavalrymen either set up tents, made fires from wood, or collected drinking water. In short, a group of people were busy. As for Yang Renjie, Song Kai, Xiang Beibei and the two elders of the Chu family came to the main account to discuss tomorrow's siege.
Yang Renjie expanded the map and looked at Song Kai. The latter was not polite. He pondered for a moment and said, "Leshan is different from Meishan, Ziyang and other cities. They did not participate in the battles between Guang'an and Longmen Town. The troops were intact and the elite were still there. Although they killed more than 10,000 Jin soldiers in one battle today, it depends on the situation. They are just county and township soldiers used to consume our army's strength, not elites."
"So they still have eight thousand elite soldiers?" Yang Renjie asked, then nodded and said in a deep voice, "I have read the information about the Jin Kingdom before. According to the Jin army system, the weakest troops in each main city must be perfected. In other words, the other side is a total of eight thousand elite soldiers with perfected two realms."
Xiang Beibei immediately frowned and said slowly: "Our soldiers are also perfect in the second realm, but the middle-level combat power is probably not as good as that of Leshan."
"These are all second," Shaking his head, Song Kai smiled indifferently, "Now they retreat, they must be determined to defend on the city wall. Eight thousand people are guarding the city, and at least twice the number of people will have the chance to break the city. But we only have 3,000 people. The ordinary way to attack the city may be difficult to succeed."
"Besides, in addition to the city lord and the city defense general, the branch master of the Black Lotus Sect also has five realms of cultivation," he took out several small flags with the words "five" written on it from his sleeve and inserted them on the map. Song Kai said calmly, "There may be five realms in the city where the aristocratic families come from. Although there has never been a local aristocratic family in the past, it still needs to be careful and prevented."
The tent suddenly became silent. After a while, Yang Renjie frowned and said, "Kaikai, do you have a way?"
"Of course there are methods, but I'm quite..." As if hesitating, Song Kai suddenly smiled faintly, "It hurts the world. If you are not careful, you may suffer tens of thousands of people. Are you sure you want to listen?"
Yang Renjie suddenly stopped. Others might not know, but he knew how vicious and cruel the seemingly silent guy in front of him was to deal with his opponent. Even though he was only in college, facing those guys who tried to use conspiracy against their subjects, Song Kai had tormented those people until he was almost dropped out of school before he was willing to stop.
Now that he has traveled through time for almost three years and has experienced the tempering of this troubled world, Song Kai’s mental and physical methods are afraid that he will become more and more ruthless. Therefore, the “harmfulness” he said at this moment is definitely not just a joke, but may really affect the life and death of tens of thousands of people.
After swallowing, Yang Renjie opened his mouth for a while before sighing, his expression calmed down, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it first. If it can reduce the casualties of our army, it's okay to use it."
He looked at him in surprise, and Song Kai smiled and nodded, "The poison technique I practice is extremely special, and can be integrated into all things in the world. Tomorrow, you will attack the city as usual, without real attack, just pretend. I will go to the water source in the city to poison it, which will not be fatal. Doing it in three days will make people weak."
"But I have known this Leshan City for a long time. Wanyan Zhen and Wanyan Dang treat the Jin people kindly, the Song people are harsh, and most of the Song people in the city are poor. If they are poisoned, it will be difficult for those who are already weak to survive," Song Kai's eyes froze, and suddenly looked at Yang Renjie and said lightly, "How?"
After opening his mouth, Yang Renjie hesitated. Xiang Beibei, Chu Wujie and Chu Changsheng looked at each other, and then looked at Yang Renjie in the seat, which immediately made him hesitate more.
After a long time, Yang Renjie sighed and opened his mouth to speak, but saw Song Kai suddenly wave his hand, and a smile appeared on his face, which had always been indifferent, and said lightly: "No need to answer, what I said just now is just a lie to you."
"Ga?" Yang Renjie's eyes suddenly turned round and he looked over blankly. Song Kai looked casual, as if he was not embarrassed by his deception: "Although my poison is powerful, it will not kill all the elderly and weak. As long as I have a good rest afterwards, I will not be in danger of my life."
"Besides, in just three days, I want to make the Leshan garrison weak and powerless, and I want to not harm the lives of the people in the city. My poison skills are not so powerful," said Song Kai, sneeringly, "We first use the method of riding horses to feint for two days, drag the Leshan City garrison to exhaustion, and then select more than 30 people to pretend to be defeated in Zigong and pretend to come and surrender."
"You want to trick them into opening the door?" Xiang Beibei raised her eyebrows and said suspiciously, "I'm afraid Wanyan Zhen and the others don't believe it so easily."
"Don't believe it," shook his head, Song Kai chuckled, "We will attack continuously for two consecutive days, and Leshan will definitely be filled with people's hearts and exhausted. At this time, a deserter suddenly appeared to surrender. No normal people would believe it, and they would definitely suspect that we wanted to deceive them, so our ultimate goal is neither the North Gate nor the East Gate."
"Where is that?" Chu Wujie said curiously.
"Ximen!" He pointed to the map and said confidently, "Now there are about 2,500 people in the Thunder God Camp. Two days later, two thousand people are left behind and still at the North Gate. He sent dozens of people to the East Gate to disguise the defeated soldiers. The last five hundred people will be led by Renjie, and attacked Ximen."
Yang Renjie frowned for a while, then suddenly understood and said happily: "I understand! They thought we were going to deceive them into opening the east gate, so they would definitely focus on the east gate. In addition, there were large troops outside the north gate, so they would definitely pay attention. In this way, the defense of the west gate would definitely be empty."
"That's right!" Nodded, Song Kai's lips curled slightly, and he smiled indifferently, "In today's battle, you broke the seven-cavalry formation in a row, which had already crushed their confidence in cavalry, so he defended the wall. Since that's the case, we would not play siege with them, but directly broke into the West Gate, and then decided the outcome by cavalry battle!"
"Is it too dangerous for only five hundred people?" Xiang Beibei suddenly questioned.
Smiling, Song Kai replied: "You have brothers and sisters, you and the two elders of the Chu family are in charge of the north gate. Wanyan Zhen, Wanyan Dang must also be in charge of the north gate. Only the Black Lotus Church Master is a little troublesome, but I will restrain him. Without the five realms, there are still people in the city who can block Yang Renjie, who is unparalleled in the cavalry war?"
His eyes lit up, and Yang Renjie nodded with satisfaction, and laughed: "That's right! Unparalleled cavalry! Kaikai, your flattery is so happy. Okay, let's listen to you!"
Xiang Beibei and the two elders of the Chu family were stunned, and then they all shook their heads helplessly, knowing that Yang Renjie was already full of joy by the flattery and could not convince them at all.
But the next moment, Song Kai suddenly looked at Yang Renjie and asked, "But what decision did you make just now?"
Yang Renjie, who was originally smiling, suddenly froze. Song Kai shook his head when he saw this and said lightly: "I don't want to know, but Renjie, you have to remember this decision. If you want a similar situation in the future, you may be able to make a choice without hesitation."
After a while of silence, Yang Renjie smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Kaikai, do you always like to play with people's hearts so much?"
Slightly frowned, Song Kai seemed to think about it, then shook his head and replied, "It's okay."
After humming twice, Yang Renjie did not pursue the matter and waved his hand to end the meeting.
