Early the next morning, Tiansheng Kingdom's scouts discovered that in the Chu army's camp, soldiers were carrying poisoned corpses one after another, carrying them to the mountains to bury them, and some were directly set on fire.
Seeing the large swaths of fire, the scouts hurried back to report to Feng Lingtian.
"Report, Prince! Great, our army's poisoning strategy has worked.
A large number of soldiers of the Chu army were poisoned last night. Many were poisoned to the point of unconsciousness and foaming at the mouth. More people were poisoned to death! I saw those who were poisoned to death were being killed in batches by the Chu army.
Carry it to the mountain and bury it on the spot, or burn it directly."
The scout said happily.
When Feng Lingtian heard the news, his eyebrows were raised proudly, and he snorted coldly, "This trick has been tried and true. I didn't expect that Chu Xuanchen would be like this.
However, have you observed clearly, is this true or is the Chu army pretending?"
The scout hurriedly said: "Your Highness, a few young people have been observing there all night, and they have observed clearly.
After the soldiers of the Chu army were poisoned, the military camp was in chaos, most of the soldiers were howling, and their morale was greatly reduced."
Feng Lingtian narrowed his eyes coldly, "Chu Xuanchen's soldiers were poisoned, it seems our time has come.
But you still have to confirm it again, make sure you find out whether it is true or false, and then report it to me!"
Feng Lingtian is very cautious. If he is not sure, he will not act rashly.

Lianhuashan Military Camp
Chu Xuanchen was very worried after seeing his soldiers being poisoned one after another.
Large numbers of soldiers died of poisoning and were carried up the mountain.
Many soldiers were poisoned to death, and it was useless to leave more camps, so Chu Xuanchen asked people to reduce the number of camps.
In just two days, the Chu army's camp was reduced by two-thirds, and at the same time, the number of stoves was also reduced by two-thirds.
There were no more Chu soldiers riding horses and training in the school grounds. Everyone was busy going in and out of the camp in order to save people.
In the eyes of outsiders, the military camp that originally had "100,000" troops suddenly only had 30,000 troops left!
When Chu Xuanchen was in great difficulty, a messenger brought an imperial edict from the imperial court.
In the military camp, after the messenger finished reading the imperial edict, he said, "My lord, the emperor said that you must not slack off and immediately send troops to attack the city and rescue the people."
When Chen Ping heard this, he immediately said angrily: "You have also seen the situation in the military camp now. Most of the soldiers died of poisoning, and we only have 30,000 people left.
Under such circumstances, if the emperor still asks us to attack the city, doesn't it mean that he is asking us to die?"
The messenger said: "General, the emperor is very worried about the safety of the people in the city, so he asked the prince to attack the city by force.
This is the emperor's will, and even the little ones can't do anything about it."
When Chen Ping was about to speak, Chu Xuanchen stopped him, "That's it! General Chen, it's hard to disobey the emperor's order.
Since the emperor wants me to attack the city now, I have no choice but to do it!"
With that said, he accepted the imperial edict angrily.
When Moli and others saw this, they started talking angrily.
"Now most of our soldiers are dead, and the others are poisoned to varying degrees. If we attack the city under such circumstances, we will die miserably!"
"That is, it is not appropriate for us to attack the city now.
But the imperial edict has been issued, what can we do?
We have no choice but to face the difficulties and go straight up to die!"
"Hey, it seems that this war is inevitable!"
Someone sighed.
Soon, the news that Emperor Hongyuan forced Chu Xuanchen to attack the city spread throughout the Chu army camp and also reached the ears of Tiansheng Kingdom's scouts.
