Crossing the Sword

Chapter 147: Scheme against each other

Song Yi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Now that I hear you say it, it is indeed true. We may have believed the rumors too much, so we only knew that Ling Fei was an outstanding leader, but we didn't expect that his combat strategy could be so imaginative."

"No!" Wu Sheng shook his head and said shockingly: "I'm afraid the enemy's plan was not given by Ling Fei, but someone else!"

"Who is it?" Song Yi asked immediately and cooperatively.

Wu Sheng replied: "I wonder if you have noticed the nerd next to Ling Fei? After Zhang Lang released the bullfish, Ling Fei pretended to gesture and attracted everyone's attention to him. But I found that while Ling Fei was making a statement, the scholar threw a magic weapon into the lake, which was the key to the bullfish not being able to hurt the other fleet!"

After listening to Wu Sheng's analysis, everyone couldn't help but think along his lines. After a moment, Sun Qing nodded and said, "When I saw Brother Lang being beaten into the lake, I knew he was in danger. My brain was not enough for a moment, and I just wanted to risk my life to drag one or two masters of the other side to be buried with him. Unfortunately, the other side was saved by that scholar. I didn't think too much at the time. Now I heard from the military advisor that he is indeed a master. He blocked all my back moves in just one encounter, so I had to fight him hard and missed a great opportunity to kill the enemy." He subconsciously held his right arm as he spoke, "And the hard fight with him still makes my right hand bones and muscles hurt. The injury is more serious than that of Muqiqichang's sword."

Song Yi nodded and said, "The other side has this person's help, which is indeed a great threat to us. Military Advisor, do you have any clever plans to deal with it?"

Wu Sheng smiled confidently and said, "I have been sending spies to investigate the other party's situation. The scholar's name is Zhang Songxi. He entered Ling Fei's military camp three days ago with another woman in white. However, according to the intelligence obtained by the spies, they seemed to have come by chance and decided to help Ling Fei. They were not the men of the Black Emperor."

"So what do you think, Military Advisor, how should we handle this relationship?"

Wu Sheng met Song Yi's gaze and said, "This shows that Ye Songxi doesn't necessarily care that much about this battle. At least in terms of importance, victory or defeat is far less important than that woman in white. Our advantage now is that we are in a high position and it is easier to grasp the enemy's movements. As long as we find an opportunity to capture that woman in white, we can make Zhang Songxi hesitate and even turn against us."

Several people were moved when they heard his analysis. Song Yi said: "Then we should now..."

Wu Sheng said decisively: "We just need to have the sentries keep an eye on Ye Songxi and the movements of the woman in white. All we have to do now is wait. We must guard the mountain pass tightly and wait for the other side to reveal a flaw first."

"The military advisor's plan is indeed brilliant." Lin Bao stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and said with a lewd smile: "If that woman in white is pretty, I must let my brother enjoy her. Hehe..."

"No!" Wu Sheng stared at Lin Bao with murderous eyes, and said with a very serious expression: "If you do that, it will only lead to the annihilation of our army. Even if a few of us can break through and escape, we will be hunted down endlessly. Believe me..." Then he said word by word: "He is definitely much more terrifying than me!"

Lin Bao knew Wu Sheng's methods very well. Now that he heard that Ye Shisan was even more terrifying than him, he couldn't help but shrink his neck in fear. At this moment, the drums suddenly roared at the foot of the mountain, and the shouts of killing shook the entire island in the middle of the lake. After hearing this, several people looked at each other in bewilderment. According to the time calculation, the enemy might not even have set up camps and fortresses now. How could they attack so quickly?

At the same time, in a large tent in the military camp at the foot of the mountain, Ye Shisan was helping Wen Song cure the poison amid the shouting and killing. At this time, Ling Fei suddenly rushed over and asked nervously: "Shi... Songxi. Brother Wen's poison looks very strong. Let me use the wood energy to drive out the poison for him."

"Brother Ling always likes to confuse me with Brother Tiansong." Ye Shisan said half-jokingly. The other guards heard it and didn't understand why. They really thought they all knew a person named Tiansong.

Ye Shisan paused for a moment and continued, "It's almost time now. Let the soldiers stop. Let's try again in an hour. According to my observation, the poison that Brother Wen was poisoned with was extracted from the blood of a kind of fish, which is an animal poison. It will be a bit troublesome for you to deal with it with your Tianmu Gang Qi, but don't worry, I can still handle this little poison. And the command of the Five Elements Flag cannot be separated from you."

Ling Fei has always been approachable and got along well with his generals. After spending a long time together, they naturally developed feelings for each other. However, although he cares about Wen Song now, he also knows the priorities and nodded solemnly. He patted Ye Shisan on the shoulder and turned to walk out of the tent.

In fact, the strategy that Ye Shisan proposed to him was very simple, it was just a strategy to tire out the troops. Every hour, there would be a massive assault drill, which would keep the enemy from resting day and night. As for the Five Elements Flag troops, only half of them, 2,500 people, were on the island. They would be rotated every other day, and those who were replaced could rest on the shore. In this way, within three to five days, the mountain pass would naturally fall without a fight.

Not long after Ling Fei left, there was another noise outside. It turned out that the other four flag leaders of the Five Elements Flag came to check on Wen Song's injuries. When they entered the tent, they saw that Wen Song was still unconscious. Wu Can, the leader of the Fire Flag with the most violent temper, shouted, "Brother Ye, is the poison in Brother Wen really serious? How come it's been so long and he hasn't woken up yet?"

Ye Shisan smiled and said, "Of course he is fine. I pressed his sleep point to let him have a good rest. If you insist, I can wake him up at any time, but that will only increase his fatigue and will not do any good to his body. You should think carefully."

He Yang, the leader of Shuirun Banner, hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, we just need to know that Brother Wen is fine. By the way, Brother Ye, if there is anything we can help with, please let me know."

Ye Shisan nodded and said, "I really need Brother He to do me a small favor. I have already controlled the poison in Brother Wen's body, but if I want to completely eradicate it, I must have a medicine, which is a kind of white fish in this lake. I need to observe Brother Wen's condition now, so I would like to trouble Brother He to help me catch a few."

"That's easy. You all should go back and don't disturb Brother Wen's rest." He Yang said, pulling the other three out. Ye Shisan saw that He Yang was very thoughtful, so he also secretly paid attention to him. Don't let yourself be exposed somewhere by accident, it will be bad if he finds out your identity.
