Early the next morning, the scouts of the Tiansheng Kingdom found out and saw that in the army camp of the Chu army, there were soldiers carrying poisoned corpses and carrying them to the mountains to bury them, and some were directly burned.
Seeing the large expanse of fire, the scouts hurriedly went back and reported it to Feng Lingtian.
"Report, Prince! Great, our army's poisoning strategy has worked. The Chu army had a large number of soldiers poisoned last night. Many people were poisoned with confusion, foaming at the mouth, and more people were poisoned to death. ! The little ones saw those who were poisoned to death are being carried to the mountain by the Chu army in batches to bury them on the spot, or burn them directly.” The scout said with joy.
When Feng Lingtian heard the news, his eyebrows were triumphantly cold, and he snorted, "This trick is really unsatisfactory. I didn't expect him to have Chu Xuanchen today. However, you can see clearly that this is really still Chu Jun. Camouflaged?"
The scout hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, the younger ones were there to observe all night, and the observation was clear. Since the Chu army generals were poisoned, the barracks have been in chaos. Most of the soldiers are crying and their morale has fallen sharply."
Feng Lingtian narrowed his eyes coldly, "Chu Xuanchen's soldiers are poisoned, it seems that our time has come. But you still have to check again, and you must find out whether it is true or not, and then report to the palace!"
Feng Lingtian is very cautious, if he is not the most sure, he will not act rashly.

Lianhuashan Barracks
Chu Xuanchen was very worried after seeing that his soldiers were poisoned one after another.
A large number of soldiers died because of the poisoning and were carried up the mountain.
Many soldiers were poisoned to death, and no matter how many camps remained, 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 the stove was also reduced by two-thirds.
Without the Chu army training on horseback on the school grounds, everyone was busy going in and out of the camp to save people.
In the eyes of outsiders, there were only 30,000 horses left in the barracks that originally had "100,000" troops!
When Chu Xuanchen was very difficult, at this moment, the messenger brought the imperial decree of the imperial court.
In the barracks, after the messenger had read the imperial decree, he said, "The prince, the emperor said that you must not slack off and send troops to attack the city and rescue the people.
When Chen Ping heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Now you have seen the situation in the military camp. Most of the soldiers were poisoned and died. We only have 30,000 left. In this case, the emperor told us to attack the city. Didn't he ask us to die? ?"
Chuanxin Bing said: "General, the emperor is very worried about the safety of the people in the city, so he will ask the prince to attack the city forcibly. This is the emperor's will, and the little ones can do nothing."
When Chen Ping was about to speak, Chu Xuanchen stopped him, "Fine! General Chen, the emperor's order is hard to violate. Since the emperor wants this king to attack the city now, then the king has to do it!"
With that said, he took over the imperial edict sadly and angrily.
Upon seeing this, Mo Li and others began to discuss angrily.
"Nowadays, most of our soldiers have died, and everyone else has been poisoned to varying degrees. In this case, we will die miserably if we siege the city!"
"That's right, it's not suitable for us to attack the city at all. But the imperial decree is already down, what can we do? We have to face the difficulties and go up to death!"
"Hey, it seems that this battle is unavoidable!" Someone sighed.
Soon, Emperor Hongyuan forced Chu Xuanchen to forcibly attack the city, spread all over the Chu army camp, and also spread to the ears of the scouts of the Tiansheng Kingdom.
