Zhen Yingxiong looked at the already one-sided battlefield in the distance and murmured: "It's over."
After a month of planning and countless infighting, the Five Counties Alliance finally forced the Aohu Legion to a dead end.
This is probably Daluo County's most serious loss since this campaign.
But he knew that this was just the beginning, and greater challenges were yet to come.
"I don't know what happened to that person. It's really easy for him to be the hands-off shopkeeper." Shangguan Zhaixing sighed.
"I really hope that his return can be a card that can turn the situation around." Zhen Yingxiong said with a smile.
"Indeed, it can be seen from the battle in the Ghost Cave that his planning ability is definitely top-notch in the world, but... he is too lazy."
…
If Jiang Ling knew what Shangguan Zhaixing said about him at this moment, he would definitely want to break his head.
He is currently racking his brains over the Wood Spirit Tribe's counterattack against the Black Spirit Tribe.
Due to limited time, he had to seize the time to formulate a strategy and stayed up all night.
"Lord Messenger, this is the best wood essence in the tribe."
Mu Qing came over with a glass of liquid that looked like nectar.
"The essence of wood..."
Jiang Ling took a tentative sip. Not to mention that it tasted very good, but at least it was very refreshing. A monk would drink it to be healthy, and a mortal would be immune to all diseases after drinking it.
"Is it dawn yet?"
"Reply to the messenger, it's just dawn."
Hearing this, Jiang Ling glanced at the map in front of him again, stood up and stretched.
"Let's go, it's time to get down to business."
…
"Replying to the messenger, all the tribesmen who can fight have been gathered." Muya said respectfully.
When Jiang Ling heard this, he shook his head.
"No, gather the clansmen who can't fight."
Muya didn't know why, but she still did it.
To defeat more with less, you must win by surprise, so it is useless to follow the methods used by the Wood Spirit Tribe.
Jiang Ling summoned all the top leaders of the Wood Spirit Tribe in front of him and said:
"Now, let me talk about strategy."
"First, as a bluff, the clan leader and high priest led a few high-level and mid-level clan members to lead the more than 10,000 clan members who cannot fight to the Blackwood Plains, where your two clans usually fight."
When the wood spirits heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and Mu Ya said: "Sir Messenger, bringing tribesmen who are incapable of fighting into the battlefield will be a hindrance."
Jiang Ling smiled and said: "Why are they holding back? This time they are of great use. There is no need to let them fight. You just take them to confront the enemy. The more arrogant you show, the better, and deceive the main force of the Black Spirit Tribe."
Go to Blackwood Plains, if the Black Spirit Tribe attacks you, just run away."
"This is the first step. While you are attracting the main force of the Black Spirit Tribe, our two envoys will lead the elite army of the Wood Spirit Tribe directly around and attack the Black Spirit Tribe's lair. Do you understand?"
It took the wood spirits ten breaths to digest it. This strategy was extremely complicated for them. How could such a trick be played in the previous battles between the two armies?
"Your Majesty the Messenger's wisdom is admirable, and the Wood Spirit Clan will fully cooperate." Mu Ya said.
"When you two masters who surpass the king level appear on the main battlefield, you will definitely attract the opponent's peak combat power. Then it will be simple to capture his rear. This is the second step. Build the plank road openly and secretly attack Chencang!"
After saying that, Jiang Ling showed a bright smile.
He discovered last night that neither the Wood Spirit Tribe nor the Black Spirit Tribe had any skills in warfare. They just gathered together to attack each other. There was no level of intrigue like in the world of immortality.
"Now that you understand everything, let's go!"
…
Blackwood Plains.
Jiang Ling led the elite army of the Wood Spirit Tribe to hide in the dark.
In his sight, Mu Ya and the high priest, together with a few elites, stood at the front in a very high-profile manner, while the ordinary Wood Spirit tribesmen with little fighting ability hid in the back and pretended to be useless.
Muya and the high priest unscrupulously exuded powerful auras, perfectly covering up the weak auras of the ordinary tribesmen behind them.
The scouts of the Black Spirit Clan had already discovered such a big movement, and were immediately frightened to death, and hurried back to report it.
…
"Report——"
In a dark hall, the tranquility was broken by a panicked shout.
Sitting on the high seat was the patriarch of the Black Spirit Clan and his wife.
At this moment, the leader of the Black Spirit Clan said angrily: "What's going on in such a panic!"
"Report to the clan leader, the clan leader and high priest of the Wood Spirit Tribe have appeared in Blackwood Plains and are calling for war!"
"What?!"
The leader of the Black Spirit Tribe immediately stood up to fight.
"Are the Wood Spirit Tribe ready to fight us to the death?"
At this time, the high priest of the Black Spirit Tribe said: "The other party also knows that this situation will not last long, and it is normal to want to defeat the enemy."
The leader of the Black Spirit Clan asked again: "How many people did the other party send?"
"A lot, I estimate it's ten to twenty thousand," the scout replied.
"Then the whole army is dispatched. Haha, this is exactly what I want. It just happens to completely destroy the Wood Spirit Tribe. Let's go and fight!" the Black Spirit Tribe laughed.
"The patriarch and his wife can just go, I will guard this place." said the high priest of the Black Spirit Tribe.
Finally, the leader and his wife of the Black Spirit Clan came out with tens of thousands of Black Spirit Tribe elites, looking majestic and high-spirited, leaving only the high priest and a handful of 10,000 to 20,000 Black Spirit Tribe people with low combat power.
…
"Lord Messenger, the Black Spirit Clan's army is here. The clan leader and his wife who are above the royal rank are here, but their high priest is not seen."
Mu Qing, who went to the front to investigate, came back to report the situation.
Jiang Ling touched his chin and said with a smile: "That's enough. Let's go back. I hope the delay here can be longer."
The leader of the Black Spirit Tribe probably couldn't even imagine that the real elite of the Wood Spirit Tribe had already gone to surround his lair.
Not long after, Qing Shu, who was one step ahead, had arrived at the Black Spirit Clan's lair and started killing without saying a word.
And Jiang Ling came quickly from behind with his army.
When he arrived, he saw corpses all over the ground, and Qingshu himself was fighting an old black spirit.
"The messenger Qingshu is so powerful, he is not weaker than the high priest of the Black Spirit Tribe."
Mu Qing looked at Qing Shu's figure longingly.
"That ugly guy is the high priest of the Black Spirit Tribe? He has some skills."
Although there is someone who is above the king's rank guarding here, this is not a problem.
"Give them all to me, kill them all, rob them all, and burn them all."
Jiang Ling directly launched the Three Lights Strategy and completely defeated the Black Spirit Tribe's rear supplies. In the subsequent battle, the Black Spirit Tribe would not be able to fight well.
"yes!"
After Jiang Ling gave the order, the elite army of the Wood Spirit Tribe immediately attacked, catching the remaining members of the Black Spirit Tribe by surprise. It was a one-sided battle.
Jiang Ling, on the other hand, turned his attention to the high priest of the Black Spirit Tribe who was fighting Qing Shu.
