Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 258: Military Tent Decision (2)

Zhou, Yang, and Chu were stunned. They never thought that the claw tribe's iron claws were actually cultivated with poisonous snakes and insects. As for "the master can break through the realm of reality and illusion", it was totally unheard of. Zhou Bu was even more frightened. He had been injured for half a month, but the wound healed very slowly. It was most likely because the claws cultivated by the thorns with poisonous blood and venom were also poisonous. If it weren't for the general's magical medicine, it would be hard to say whether he could keep his life.

Chu Xiaomu asked: "General, is there no way to break this weapon cultivation technique?"

Bi Ye said, "Yes, there is. It is to be better than the opponent's weapon cultivation technique in the way of Force martial arts. But among the hundred soldiers of Bicheng, there are only seven or eight who have opened the Force, and there are even fewer who have a higher weapon cultivation technique than the Claw Clan's assassins. If we fight head-on, the only way to win is to form a battle formation; or we can know what kind of poisons they use to cultivate their weapons, and mix antidotes to apply to the blades... But the poisons used by each Claw Clan assassin are different. This method can deal with one or two people, but not hundreds or thousands of people, so it is of no practical use." Suddenly staring at Chu Xiaomu, he said, "Don't use the 'Spiritual Questioning Technique' to seek a solution. If it works, the Claw Clan will not dare to attack Bicheng."

Chu Xiaomu's heart trembled. He probably knew that he had used the spirit-asking technique to find medicine for Miss Jinglan in the Beast Mountain. Almost everything he did was under his nose. The general's unfathomable depth was simply unbelievable.

Fortunately, Bi Ye didn't say any blame, which made Chu Xiaomu feel relieved.

Bi Ye stopped talking about the weapon cultivation technique and said to Zhou Bo, "Xiao Bo, the Claw Tribe has occupied our Bicheng land and set up camp. How should we defeat them? Tell me what you think."

Zhou Bo pondered for a while and said, "The terrain of Huadu Hill is uneven and there are many weeds and bushes, which is not conducive to the army and horses to charge. I think we should lure the Claw Tribe out of Huadu Hill and fight them to the death in a flat and wide place!"

Bi Ye nodded and asked Yang Luo, "Xiao Luo, tell me something too."

Yang Luo said, "I think Third Brother's method is very good. Lure out these Claw Tribe assassins and kill them! But we need to carefully consider where to lure them. I think we need to send more scouts in the next few days, and each team should be equipped with a messenger eagle, mainly to check the movements of the Claw Tribe members and prevent them from changing their positions."

Bi Ye smiled and said, "I have been a military commander for a few years and have made some progress. I have to think things through more carefully." Then he turned serious and said, "How many soldiers do we have in Bi City now? What are our chances of winning a decisive battle with the Claw Clan's 10,000 assassins?"

Zhou Bo said: "Reporting to the general, my Nanding army has returned with more than 4,500 people this time, of which 300 are wounded, and 4,200 are able to fight..." Thinking of the more than 500 soldiers who were killed in the sudden attack by the Claw Tribe, he dared not say any more.

Yang Luo said: "My Beiding Army only brought back half of its troops this time, only 2,200 people. Together with the 3,600 people of the Zhongjing Army, there are about 8,000 soldiers in Bicheng now, which I estimate is about the same number as the assassins."

Bi Ye said, "Two days ago, I sent a message to Ding Qi, asking him to transfer 3,000 soldiers back to Bi City. It will take about four days to arrive. With his 3,000 troops, we may have the advantage in numbers. But you also said that if it is a one-on-one battle, most of our Bi City soldiers cannot beat the Claw Clan assassins. Even if we fight in battle formation, given the fierce and stubborn nature of the Claw Clan, our army will surely suffer a lot of casualties."

Zhou Bo and Yang Luo were both proud and resolute, one and heroic and straightforward, respectively. Although they were both the central army of Bicheng and had thousands of soldiers and horses under their command, the four countries had been at peace in recent years, and apart from occasionally suppressing some small bandits or monsters and evil spirits, they had never experienced a real big battle, so both of them were determined to fight head-on.

Bi Ye turned to look at Chu Xiaomu and said, "Xiaomu, tell me what you think."

Chu Xiaomu was shocked, thinking, "How can I, a small captain of a horse herding team, discuss matters with a general and two lieutenant generals?" He hurriedly said, "General, I am just a small captain of the Nanding Army's horse herding team. I don't know anything about fighting. How dare I speak nonsense in front of you?"

Bi Ye said gently, "It's okay, just tell me what you think. General, Lieutenant General, etc. are just titles, and they don't necessarily mean you are better than others."

Chu Xiaomu had only been in the Green City Army for six or seven months, and he had barely seen the formation drills, not to mention marching and fighting. Thinking of how Zhou Bo had arranged for him to be the captain of a horse herding team that was laughed at by others, and how the general ignored him, he could not help but feel angry and said, "In the past few months, I have only learned how to herd horses, and I really haven't learned anything else." After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Zhou Bo, and saw that he looked normal, as if he didn't hear the hidden meaning in his words.

Yang Luo said anxiously: "Just say what the general tells you to say. He won't hit or scold you if you say something wrong. Why do you have to be so shy? You don't have the spirit of your Chu ancestors at all!"

Zhou Bo also said: "Since you have joined our army, you should have the courage of our army. You even dared to explore the assassin's camp. Are you afraid after saying a few words?"

Chu Xiaomu was being held by several big men from Bicheng. If he didn't say a few words, it would be disrespectful. After thinking carefully, he said, "General, two lieutenants, I think we should use our wits to deal with the Claw Clan army and try to avoid direct battles. A brother from the Herdsman Team and I killed two assassins two days ago. Their claws couldn't even be cut by a knife. They were really hard to deal with."

Bi Ye Zhou and Yang were very surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that two new recruits who had never been to the school martial arts field could actually kill two assassins. There were only two possibilities: either they were born with excellent martial arts sense, or the two assassins were too bad. However, this matter was not important at the moment, so the three did not ask any more questions.

Bi Ye encouraged gently: "Keep talking."

Chu Xiaomu went on to say, "The tents of the people of Sha country are set up very closely in the camp, connected left and right, front and back, and no more than ten feet apart. If we can burn them with fire, that would be the best..."

After hearing this, Bi Ye clapped his hands and laughed, "The arrogant soldiers are connected to the camp, and we attack them with fire. What a good plan! The Chisha Country is as hot as fire, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fire country. They never thought that we would use fire to destroy their camp."

Bi Ye and Zhou Bo looked at each other and smiled, and they also felt that this plan was feasible.

Yang Luo said, "The Claw Tribe's bird-riding spies are densely deployed dozens of miles around the camp. How can we bypass them without arousing vigilance?"

Chu Xiaomu's face immediately turned red. He really didn't expect this.
