Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

When the sun rises from the east.

"Woo..."

A deafening horn suddenly sounded from the direction of Tiancang River.

Then Zuo Wangfeng led 70,000 troops to cross the river and head towards Jiangnan City by land. Several of his deputy generals led 20,000 soldiers and temporarily requisitioned dozens of merchant ships from Dujiang Town and headed towards the water.

This means that in today's third offensive and defensive battle, Zuo Wangfeng did not hold back at all and directly attacked Jiangnan City from two fronts.

On the top of Jiangnan City, Gu Chan listened to the deafening horn sound with a frown on her face.

A spy rushed to the top of the city wall and knelt behind Gu Chan to report, "My Lord, General Zuo has divided his troops into two groups and is attacking Jiangnan City. He will lead the 70,000 troops on land, and his lieutenants will lead the 20,000 troops on water."

"Pass the order down, open the waterway, let Yan Kuan avoid those 20,000 soldiers, drive the warship directly to the Tiancang River, and cut off Zuo Wangfeng's retreat." Gu Chan was not afraid at all and issued orders in an orderly manner.

"Yes, my lord." The spy responded respectfully and immediately stood up to pass on the order.

Xu Ziguang said anxiously, "Lord, once the waterway is opened, won't the 20,000 soldiers be able to march straight in? This is disadvantageous to us!"

"Are you a pig? Even if he attacks from the water, he still has to go ashore to fight us. Why don't you lead two palace patrol soldiers to the shore and wait for them? Don't let them go ashore, and that's it." Gu Chan said unhappily.

"Yes! Your lord is indeed smart, why didn't I think of it! In terms of combat power, the soldiers in our patrol camp are definitely not as good as them, but as long as we make good defenses on the shore, we can still stop them from going ashore." Xu Ziguang slapped his thigh and said with shining eyes.

He didn't have the confidence to fight head-on with the 20,000 elite troops under Zuo Wangfeng, but he was confident that he could lead them to guard the shore and prevent them from landing.

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "Leave 3,000 men here for me. I will lead them to guard the city walls. You lead 20,000 men to the rear to guard the shore. No matter what, you must hold out until midnight. As long as you can prevent those 20,000 soldiers from landing during this time, I will have the confidence to capture Zuo Wangfeng."

"Yes, Lord." Xu Ziguang said excitedly.

After saying that, he immediately followed Gu Chan's instructions and left three thousand men here to accompany her to defend the city. Then he himself took 20,000 troops and rushed to the rear to the banks of the Jiangnan River to set up defenses.

On the other side, on the avenue leading to Jiangnan City.

At this time, Zuo Wangfeng was wearing armor, riding on a tall horse, and leading the soldiers behind him forward.

"Brush brush..."

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly appeared in the air, and after a while, a light rain fell from the sky.

The soldiers were still concerned at first, but after they were drenched in the rain for a while, they all began to feel weak, and some even fell to the ground, unable to walk at all.

A deputy general rode up and said, "General, it's a sunny day, why is it raining? And after the rain, everyone's spirits have started to become bad, and some people can't even walk."

"Hmph! You have such a petty trick, yet you dare to show off in front of me? Go and tell the military doctor to collect rainwater for investigation, then prepare the corresponding antidote and have the soldiers take it. If the symptoms are too severe for people to walk, let them rest where they are, and they don't need to follow us anymore." Zuo Wangfeng said disdainfully.

The deputy general responded respectfully and immediately went to pass the order to the military doctor.

The military doctor followed his order and collected rainwater for inspection. As expected, he found the drug ingredients that make people weak in the rainwater. Then the military doctor quickly prepared the antidote and distributed it to the soldiers one by one.

After just an incense stick of time, everyone's condition gradually improved, and only a few hundred people had symptoms too severe and had to rest on the spot. But for this team of 70,000 people, the loss of a few hundred people was not worth mentioning.

Zuo Wangfeng continued to move forward, looking up at the flying beasts circling in the sky and shouting, "Go back and tell Gu Chan that his trick won't work. Not to mention that he mixed lassitude powder into the water, even if he mixed poison, the military doctors in our army can prepare an antidote. What's more, this is just a military exercise of attack and defense, and he doesn't dare to mix poison into the water!"

As Zuo Wangfeng finished speaking, all the flying mysterious beasts hovering in the sky could only fly away silently.

"Hahaha……"

Zuo Wangfeng laughed triumphantly and continued to lead the team forward.

On a hillside five miles ahead.

Wei Xing stood there and looked up. Soon, Ren Nanshan led the Flying Mystic Beast Team and slowly descended from the sky, stopping steadily in front of him.

Wei Xing asked with a smile, "How is the situation?"

"It's useless. Zuo Wangfeng has discovered our plan. Moreover, the military doctor under his command seems to be quite skilled in medicine. He quickly prepared the antidote. Now he continues to lead the team forward. He was even yelling at me just now!" Ren Nanshan said angrily as he sat on the back of the flying mysterious beast.

"Haha... no wonder he can become the general of Kyoto! He is quite capable. Compared with a woman like Shuiyue, one is in heaven and the other is in hell." Wei Xing said with a laugh.

Ren Nanshan spread his hands and said, "Don't just laugh! Now that this trick has been broken, we have to continue to think of ways to stop him! Otherwise, by noon, he will lead his army to within five miles of us. By then, with only a few thousand men and horses, we will not be able to stop them at all!"

"Don't worry, the boss has already made arrangements. Let them walk two more miles and wait until they reach the large grassland in front. They will be in trouble." Wei Xing said calmly.

After hearing what he said, Ren Nanshan calmed down and put his heart at ease.

After that, they waited quietly there.

Zuo Wangfeng, who was unaware of the situation, continued to lead the team forward based on his confidence in his own strength. After more than an hour, he led the team to the large grassland.

"Hiss..."

After everyone stepped into the large lawn, slight hissing sounds began to echo through the lawn.

The soldiers stood in place and looked around, but they could not see anything at all. But just when everyone was confused, a scene that made their scalps tingle happened.

I saw countless poisonous insects and ants, like waves, constantly pouring out from under the grass, quickly climbing along the feet of the soldiers and all the horses, and constantly crawling onto them.

"Oh my god! Where do all these poisonous insects and ants come from?"

"Ouch! It's biting me to death, General, help me!"

"Everyone, run, run out of the grass, and retreat."

Soon the soldiers were bitten by countless poisonous insects and ants, running around in panic, shouting and screaming in agony.
