Chapter 79: Strange Tactics

The night came quietly with a cold breeze, and the enemy camp opposite was lit up, noisy and amused, faintly audible.

Looking back at the city of Xiyang, the people did not dare to light the lamps, they were already afraid that the light in the night would attract the attention of the enemy, the streets were empty, and all living beings fled in a trance, except for the occasional nervous footsteps of the patrol soldiers.

"It's black and black everywhere, I want to cry when I look at it, are you guarding the city, or are you guarding the tomb?" Xia Man, who came back from transporting grain, shouted before she boarded the city gate, and she had only been away for less than half a day, and this speed was so fast that Xu Cang was speechless: "Xiaoman, why is it so fast?"

Xia Man looked around at the environment clearly: "It's the latest batch that has moved here, and I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it if it's far away!" Pointing to the brightly lit enemy camp in front of him, and then pointing to the dead city behind him: "Look at it, people are fighting like the New Year, and you haven't died in battle, it's like you're in mourning, the victory or defeat is not divided, and the judgment is made!"

"Xiyang is now a lonely city, everyone is in danger, who still has the heart to have fun? Besides, there is a shortage of materials, everyone can save money, and the people have turned off the lights early, so it looks bleak!"

Xia Man sneered at Xiao Rui: "I said that you are a little junior brother, when you were in Muen Academy, you were still a very sunny and good young man, how can you fight for three years, it seems that you have no life." Aren't you still alive? Yours are the light in the hearts of the people, and if even you are miserable and have no confidence to overcome, can you still expect those people to have the heart of victory? With the light, there will be no darkness, and only with laughter can fear be driven away!"

Xia Man has liked adventure and curiosity since she was a child, and she deeply knows that when she is lonely and helpless and in danger, the only way to save herself is to take the suffering and danger in front of her as a test of life and face it with a happy mood.

Xiao Rui listened to Xia Man's endless talk, and seemed to understand a little that this was an angle of war that he had never thought about: happy war!

In the face of the huge disparity in strength, he has been overwhelmed by the defeats over the years, and his psychology has reached the verge of collapse.

The tragic experience of Xu Cang's life made him no longer happy in his heart, a person who was negative and hated life, and it was impossible to think of treating cruel adversity as a happy enjoyment!

Two bitter gourds in a pot of soup, only bitter on bitter.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and called the city gate officer: "Light the street lights in the city, and the soldiers will replace the wine with water to celebrate today's victory in the first battle! Laugh, laugh loudly, but there is one, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, we must strictly prevent the Fuso ninja from infiltrating and taking the opportunity to destroy!"

Xia Man looked at the lights of the enemy camp opposite, laughing and laughing, thoughtfully, stretched out his hand and signaled the city gate official to stop first: "You have all turned off the lights for three years, don't be in a hurry." You see how happy they are, why don't we take advantage of the night to make them happy and sad, and then turn on the lights, burn cannons to celebrate, and them off!"

Xu Cang immediately understood what she meant: "Xiaoman, do you mean a sneak attack?" Xiao Rui also reacted at this time: "We have discussed this method a long time ago, they have an army of 300,000, there are 150,000 people in the city, and there are many Fusang ninjas in the camp, I am afraid that the sneak attack soldiers will not return!"

Xia Man almost scolded: "Do you know how the donkey died? Stupid to death! Who let you rush in and send us to death, our troops are insufficient, it's like five fingers, if you stick your fingers into someone, your fingers will be broken, but if you drag the five fingers together and beat them out, you will not be injured!"

"We also understand the truth of concentrating on attacking one point, but it is meaningless to hit the other party without pain or itching!"

Xia Man glanced at them, and when he became arrogant, the master scolded them: "It's really an elm head, isn't the ghost king's three-way army rushing here?" What we want now is not to hurt them, but to disturb, constantly disturb, so that they can't sleep well, and cooperate with the attack of the ghost king's army in six days!"

Xu Cang didn't care, more than three years ago, he and the ghost king asked for his life, originally wanted to persuade the fight, so as not to be his two apprentices, Xiao Rui and Hexiu fought, but after they came, they found that things were not so simple, Qingshu had already controlled the entire Dongying, and his ambition was far more than a Dongying drifter, but wanted to raise the clan to land on the shore and chase the deer in Jiuzhou. Xiyang is just a remote place with a population of less than five million, isolated, the Weiyang Dynasty has been controlled, let it go, an isolated and helpless Xiyang, where is the opponent of Qingswill, it is not easy to maneuver to this day, and Xu Cang has nothing to do. Now Xia Man's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and if he wants to turn passive into active, it is not a new tactic, anyway, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, so he is willing to listen!

Harassing the enemy's soldiers is just a trick in the art of war, and there is nothing magical about it, Xiao Rui still has concerns in his heart: "Although the ghost gate is not far away to rescue, this kindness naturally goes without saying, but only 30,000 soldiers and horses, facing 150,000 enemy troops, is also a drop in the bucket!"

However, Xia Man's method of harassing the enemy is purely a method of harming the enemy's interests, which is better than sitting and waiting to be killed, so he did not return to the palace, and immediately gathered all the generals at the city gate, and transferred 20 generals, each group of 500 people, to form 20 teams of light cavalry, divided into two squads, taking turns to harass the enemy camp, and made a strict order: I can only get closer, shoot fire and nitrate into the enemy camp, the enemy chases me and retreats, the enemy stops, and the enemy retreats and I advance!

Xia Man added: "The soldiers of the Ghost Gate and the Two Ghost Gate Closing Formation brought by the Shang family brothers can form a sharp knife battalion to infiltrate the enemy camp and harass them deeply, making them feel ruthless. The third watch and the second moment will return to the city, light the lamp and set off the cannon, this trick will ensure that they will be startled, and they will not sleep well tonight!"

A three-year-old dead city, if the lights suddenly turn on, think about that scene, how weird it is, Qingswill's old face will definitely not smile overnight, this method is a shock to the hostile psychology.

This kind of weird and weird method, maybe only the weird Xia Man can think of it, Xiao Rui stepped forward and clasped Xia Man's hands: "Thank you, little princess!"

Xia Man withdrew his hand and patted his yawning mouth "Ahaha": "You are not my dish, don't touch my hands, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep!"

As soon as Qingshu lay down, the four gates of the people reported that the four gates were wide open, and the cavalry of the Ten Routes rushed to the front of the battalion. He sat up: "There are 50,000 lonely troops in Xiyang, do you want to break through?" When I heard a burst of firecrackers outside the tent, there was no sound of tearing and killing: "Well, the way to scratch the enemy, little fireflies, what kind of brilliance can be released." Immediately ordered: "Strengthen the crossbowmen at the camp gate, watch carefully, and the rest of the soldiers, sleep in peace and don't be disturbed!"

As soon as he lay down in wide clothes, there was a faint sound of tearing and killing outside the tent, and he sat up again: "The method of exhausting the enemy is really annoying!" shouted to the herald at the door: "It's just a few dead soldiers, order the Fusang battalion to strengthen the patrol, some trivial things, don't report to me!"

As he spoke, he lay down, and in a daze, the herald outside shouted, "Report!"

"What's going on again!"

"Please also ask my king to move and see for himself!"

Qing swill out of the tent, startled, in front of ten days to a knee-black Xiyang city, at this time the lights illuminate the night sky, the city head of the sheng flag waving, soldiers holding torches, majestic, high-spirited!

I was particularly anxious in my heart: What the hell are they doing? Could it be that they were cheating on death before? Suddenly I thought, no matter how much I pretend, it is only 50,000 remnants, what kind of storm can it set off!

He went back to the tent and lay down, but he could no longer sleep, and he knew in his heart that this was the method of exhaustion, and he regretted that he was too light on the enemy, and the tent was set up too far forward, but there was nothing he could do!

Xia Man took a moment of relief, got up at night, and led the night to lead the eagle to set off, and the team was also to rest and conserve physical strength for the giant eagle at this time. Before leaving, he said to Xiao Rui: "This method only works once, and there will be no suddenness tomorrow night, but you can hold five fingers together and attack one place." I'm transporting grain, I can't let them know that there is a grain transport channel in the city, otherwise they will attack the city with all their might, and we will try to delay it until the reinforcements arrive!"

Looking at the Eagles flying into the night sky, Xiao Rui was especially grateful!

The next day the enemy camp was quiet, and there was no siege, apparently because the method of chaos had some effect. At night, Xiao Rui took out 10,000 soldiers and horses, stormed the enemy camp at the west gate, and retreated after breaking through the camp gate, although more than 3,000 soldiers and horses were lost, but it also made them panic all night!

Xia Man brought back the third batch of grain, Xiao Rui and Xu Cang came to meet, they saw the people in the city lighting sparse lights in the evening, and they already admired Xia Man's strange methods in their hearts, so they came over to ask for advice, but it was difficult to say it on their faces.

"Among the warriors of the Resting Soil, are there any water ghosts who are proficient in water?"

"Siyan is close to the sea, naturally there are some generals who are proficient in water, what do you want water ghosts to do?"

"We're not going to attack the camp tonight, we're going to burn the ship!"

Xia Man's thinking was too jumpy, and Xu Cang found that he, the leader of the Secret Wing Alliance, known as a strategist, seemed to have become a student in front of her.

Xiao Rui will not understand: "Their supplies are at the Chishui Longjing Ferry, the big ships are in the vast sea, all rely on small boats to ferry transportation, we are trapped in the city, how can we burn the boats?"

Xia Man ordered the soldiers to bring a bunch of cold and shining steel knives: "These are captured from the grain transport soldiers, they are the newly cast cold iron fine knives of the Ghost Gate, which are extremely sharp! In the afternoon, the eagles have arrived at the west wind to wait for the night to enter the city, I took this opportunity to go down the red water, and saw that if there was no one next to their fleet, they were stationed at sea, and the plan was like this: there were more than 200 giant eagles here, each carrying four people, forming a team of 800 water ghosts, carrying the things that ignited the fire, taking advantage of the night, diving into the water, and five eagles with a total of 20 people burning a boat. They have no training, they use burning and chiseling, and they play with their own oil, and they do not seek results, but only want to disturb the enemy!"

The more Xiao Rui listened, the more energetic he became, and said excitedly: "This method is even more wonderful, let's carefully plan it, and be sure to burn this ship!"

Xia Man looked at him happily dancing and felt inexplicable: "It's not easy for twenty people to burn down such a big ship, just disgust them, what are you excited about!"

Su Cangle said: "You don't know, they are afraid that the grain and grass will be burned, the army only prepares two days of grain storage, and those ships are their granaries! We have always wanted to burn their grain and grass, but in the face of the vast sea, we can only forget the boat and sigh, girl, I don't know where you learned such a strange spell in the past four years, you don't say, of course there is a promise first, and the master doesn't ask, it's just that you are a group of giant eagles, this time it really helped a lot!"

"Master, I really can't tell you this, because he's much older than you, oh no, he looks younger than me, but he's a hundred times older than you!"

has been following the immortal prodigy for more than three years, and Xia Man has even learned the temperament of half of his words!
