662 Trample this formation (1/2)
Sitting tall on the horse, Ren Tianxing closed his eyes and waited quietly.
In the blink of an eye, another hour passed but there was still no sound from the camp.
Ren Tianxing couldn't help but open his eyes, which were filled with worry. He was really clear about the skill of his Junior Brother. Even if he couldn't persuade those City Lords to change sides, he would still be able to retreat safely.
But, they didn't have much time left. If Zhang Huai didn't return in two hours, then he would have to attack.
A thunderous horse hoof suddenly sounded. He turned around to see a bunch of cavalry swiftly galloping over.
He was slightly shocked. Zhang Huai hadn't come out, but Zong Gang came over already.
”Greetings Inspector!”
He immediately greeted, only to see that Zong Gang's body was totally covered in blood.
It was apparent that he had been through a huge war not long ago.
Ren Tianxing thought about it and knew what had happened, ”Did some surrendered troops rebel...”
”That's right! The few cities of the southwest plotted together to stab us in the back. These kids are really cunning!”
Scolding on, Zong Gang said without bothering much, ”It is not an issue. We will send them all to the east and they would have to fight!”
Ren Tianxing shook his head. Actually, they were surrounded on all sides by enemies.
They had close to 2,000,000 surrendered troops under them. A portion of them truly served Gantian Mountain whilst there were some quietly waiting for their chance.
They traveled lightly and got grain through pillaging. Although they burnt a lot, they didn't have much of it left.
Those refugees didn't have much grain left too.
If they couldn't win this war, their situation would be worrying.
”They are defending like an iron bucket, there is no chance to break their turtle shell. I could only let Lingxuan be the Commander and come over to have a look....”
The tone was filled with closeness. Although it hadn't been long since they met, Zong Gang was such a person. He admired people who were strong and could fight battles.
Moreover, this person was Renbo's nephew.
”What is your situation here?”
”I will be able to break it within a day!”
Words were precious, these short words were firm and confident. Following this, Ren Tianxing continued to look toward the camp.
”However, Zhang Huai said that we don't need to spend much effort on this battle and he could settle the situation with a few words.”
Zong Gang was startled, there was actually such a thing? Although this person was a little delicate, he knew what he wanted.
He was able to focus on killing on the battlefield and not bother with that complicated stuff all because of this person.
In the next instant, a person walked out from a tent on the east side, his face wearing a gentle smile.
Although he was in between the two armies, his footsteps weren't fast nor slow.
It was Zhang Huai. Just as he was 5,000 feet out, several flames burned up within the camp and killing shouts rose into the air.
The seemingly impenetrable camp was in chaos.
Ren Tianxing's brow furrowed, he really succeeded?
He heaved a sigh of relief. However, Ren Tianxing knew that this wasn't the time to celebrate as he led his horse to the front, ”Evil Suppressing Army five Towns proceed forth and prepare to strike. The other troops, prepare your armor and attack with me!”
The moment the order was given, the army was in full swing. Zong Gang felt weird when he heard this. At this moment, the chaos came from the east which was right opposite those five Towns.
However from what Ren Tianxing said, he wasn't going to attack from there.
Thinking about it, Zong Gang knew the reason. The east was chaotic, if he was the enemy general, he would suppress the chaos there.
With that, the other places would be empty, to let the enemy take the pressure and then reduce their own losses.
This fellow really thought it through!
There was even more admiration in Zong Gang's eyes. This kid's ability in using troops was much stronger than his, knowing how to cherish troops and soldiers under him!
Moments later, Zhang Huai was still walking there, who knows how long he would take to get to the army formation.
Zong Gang was impatient and headed forward, asking curiously, ”Kid how did you do it?”
”This thing is simple, I just used the land to tempt them!”
Zhang Huai smiled, it was indeed a simple chip to play, ”The six provinces have no master and so many people are staring at it. How many people wouldn't be tempted by a city? Even if the City Lord isn't tempted, their men will be.”
Ren Tianxing's pupils constricted as he frowned, ”These traitors and disloyal people wouldn't be easy to manage in the future!”
He said seriously, ”The Ruler is in charge of giving land, subjects like us can't do that.”
Zhang Huai smiled and handed a golden scroll over.
Taking a look, it was actually an order from Zong Shou. It was written months ago and what it said was to allow Zhang Huai to do such things.
The Ruler predicted this long ago?
Ren Tianxing's nervous heart was finally placed down. What he was most worried about was Zhang Huai going overboard and drawing suspicion.
