Outside Shouchun City, the camp where Zhu Hongjun was stationed.

Ever since the defenders of Shouchun City released the captives back yesterday, the camp was boiling in an instant. Originally, the generals of Zhu Hongjun had gradually stabilized their hearts, so that these soldiers were no longer afraid of each other's strange witchcraft.

But as soon as these captives returned, it was as if a layer of stone stirred up a thousand waves, making public opinion in the barracks continuous. As for what they are discussing, there are different versions. For example, the two guards who were now standing at the gate of the camp were having a heated discussion.

"Hey, have you heard? The defenders on the opposite side are all a bunch of poor people, it seems that even food is running out, and many people are starving to death! ”

"Hey, fart, how did I hear that the enemy army in Shouchun City is particularly strong. It's like the guy who unleashed the fire dragon on the battlefield a few days ago, although the general said it was witchcraft and a lie. But I heard that the people in the city worshipped that person as if he were a god? ”

"Impossible, how can there be immortals in this world?"

"It's your loneliness, how can ordinary people control the flames? What's more, it's still such a powerful fire dragon? Do you have the ability to give it a try? ”

When the guard heard this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, as if he was very upset that his knowledge was denied. "Then you say, if the other party really knows immortal arts, why don't you chase us all away? They must be at the end of the crossbow, so they don't dare to come out! ”

The other guard pursed his lips disdainfully: "A fool is a fool, people are immortals, how can they come to deal with us mortals?" According to me, if we just retreat like this, then the other party's immortals will not do anything to us, and if I still want to fight them, that immortal will definitely attack us. ”

The guard was even more furious: "You are stupid, they are poor and can't eat now, we should fight now, they will definitely not be able to stop it!" ”

"How dare you scold me? My mother has never scolded me since I was a child, and you dare to scold me! See if I don't beat you up today! ”

"Come on, come on, who's afraid of whom!"

So, at the entrance of the barracks, another hand-to-hand combat was staged. Why say again? Because in just one day, there were countless fights and disputes in Zhu Hongjun's camp, and the reason was nothing more than some trivial things, and the verbal quarrels caused by them finally evolved into fierce fights.

Of course, such a scene is not accidental, but Lu Cheng did it intentionally. Just yesterday, Lu Cheng put back all the hundreds of enemy soldiers he had captured earlier. However, before putting them back, he deliberately divided these people into two groups and revealed completely different information from each of them.

The first half of the people learned the news that when they were escorted out of the city, they suddenly found a strange statue in front of the homes of the people along the way, and after careful identification, they recognized that it was the image of a man surrounded by a red dragon, coupled with the reverent gaze of the surrounding soldiers looking at the statue, they quickly made up some legends on their own.

When they went out of the city, they saw a desolate scene in the city, many hungry people begged the officers and soldiers, but they were ruthlessly kicked away by the officers and soldiers, and even they heard the soldiers complaining, saying that they themselves could not eat enough, how could they give these people food, so these people made up another story in their brains!

And people are like that, they only believe what they see with their eyes and can find some reason for what they see in a short time. So Lu Cheng used this side performance to let them "probe" some news!

It's like the first half of the people, they think that what they see is the truth, and they must know that those who dare to worship at home are immortals or ancestors, so they subconsciously regard the previous fire dragon as a fairy spell. Although it may seem absurd, the ancients believed in this.

The latter half of the people are different, they see the miserable life in the city, and even "inadvertently" hear some exciting insiders, which makes them believe it even more, is it such an obvious performance, can't they guess that the situation in the city is very bad?

As for why Lu Cheng deliberately released two diametrically opposed news, it was because he knew that if he had a unified voice for all the prisoners, then the other party's generals would not be fools, and they would definitely be able to see that this was the news he had deliberately spread. And after doing so now, the other side can confuse the public, completely unable to see the actual situation on his side, and can also disturb the other side's military morale.

However, what Lu Cheng didn't expect was that his move was self-defeating and had a great impact. Just because the soldiers on the other side were not elite in the first place, and the discipline was very bad, the news of these two things spread quickly, and everyone said things as if they had seen them with their own eyes.

In addition, these soldiers have just been forcibly recruited from the village, and they are already in an extremely irritable mood, and under the mouth, it is strange that such a group of men with strong blood and strength do not fight!

In this way, there was a flurry of curses from the camp in the center of the army, mixed with the sound of smashing things, and it was clear that their commander had reached the point of rage. Soon a soldier issued a military order: rest for the night, tomorrow! Besiege!

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the sky was just white, and Zhu Hong's army had already had a good meal to meet this second siege battle. Under the leadership of the four generals in front of the battle, the army slowly advanced and went straight to Shouchun City.

Not long after this army of more than 40,000 people marched, they suddenly found a lone man in the middle in the distance. The four generals led by each other glanced at each other, and they all saw the caution in each other's eyes, this time their boss gave a death order, if they couldn't capture the city again, they wouldn't have to come back, so they couldn't help but be cautious!

One of them raised his hand to stop the advance of the army, and then he stepped forward with his three companions. When they got closer, they quickly recognized that the man who dared to come alone was the general of the enemy army, and according to the captive, this person seemed to be Lu Cheng.

The enemy general in the middle snorted angrily and said coldly: "Lu Cheng, what tricks are you going to play?" Hmph, no matter what you are here to do, but I only want to tell you one thing, we will win this battle today, and Shouchun City will definitely return to our hands! ”

Lu Cheng sat on the horse and said noncommittally: "Whatever you say, you know whether you win or lose, so why waste your tongue here." ”

The enemy general sneered: "Then what are you doing here?" Could it be that all the soldiers in the city are starving to death, and only you can come out to meet them? ”

Lu Cheng shook his head with a smile: "I think you still don't want to be a general, it's better to be a writer with such a strong imagination." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to lead the troops to kill me if I talk too much!"

Hearing this, the smile on Lu Cheng's face slowly faded, and he said in a cold voice: "Hey, I originally wanted you to say a few more words before you died, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient!" Then I'll tell you, I'm here to fight you alone! ”

"What!" The four enemy generals all screamed in astonishment, and then burst into laughter: "I said Lu Cheng, your brain is in the water, we have such a huge army, why should we fight you alone!" ”

Lu Cheng was not annoyed by the ridicule of several people, but raised his head proudly and said provocatively: "What? Don't you dare to let the four of you hit me? ”
