The general on duty at night was awakened by the chaos in the city, and the guards around him did not know what had happened and could not answer him.

By the time he climbed to the top of the city, the chaos in the city had disappeared and the guards had been changed.

"What was the mess just now?" The general immediately asked the guards on duty.

The soldier replied: "General, I just changed the guard, and I don't know. ”

At this time, I heard a soldier next to me say: "General, I heard that someone shouted that there were enemy troops before the change of guard, and everyone was a little panicked, and later I realized that it was a mistake and a false alarm." ”

"Enemy troops? What did you see wrong? The general raised his eyes and looked at the enemy camp outside the city, and it was so dark that he could not see anything, but there was a faint fire in the distance, and he did not know what it was.

The soldier who knew something replied: "It was the fire in the distance, when it was lit up, it was thought that the enemy was going to sneak attack at night, and later found that those points of light did not move, so I knew that it was not the enemy attack." ”

The general did not speak, but looked at the firelight, thoughtful.

Thinking about it, he suddenly woke up, as if he understood something, and immediately ordered in a loud voice: "All cheer up, I'm afraid the enemy will attack at night!" ”

"Order, triple the number of people on duty, strengthen the guards, and closely monitor the movement of the fire in the distance."

As soon as the general gave the order, the herald immediately went down to the city to convey the general's guard orders.

A quarter of an hour later, the defensive force at the head of the city reached the level of the day, and there stood in a neat line of soldiers, looking to the north, nervously on guard, and in their eyes, the fire was like a terrible devil, and they did not know when it would suddenly rush and appear in front of them.

"Wipe your eyes and stare at me to death!" The general circled the city for a week, and from time to time gave orders to the soldiers to strictly defend it.

When all the soldiers were highly focused on the fire on the opposite side and focused on the enemy troops outside the city, the general left the city and went back to report his findings to the commander himself.

Although this city is not large, it is unusually strong, and has withstood the attacks of the Annamite people for decades, and I don't know how many bones of the Annamite have been buried under this city, and they have long since grown into mud and grown into wild grass and trees. This city, the Annan people can't take it, if they can take it, they will already take it, so even if the army outside the city is pressing, he still dares to leave boldly with confidence, because he knows that the Annan people can't do anything to them.

When he came to the Shuaifu, the general on duty smashed the door with a few fists, and the door slammed into a bang.

"Who, who, knock on the door in the middle of the night!" The guards in the palace opened the door of the mansion with sleepy eyes, and when they saw that it was the general on duty, they suddenly woke up, and immediately saluted: "General, what is the important thing for you to come to the marshal so late?" I'll go brief. ”

The general on duty said: "Urgent, go quickly!" With that, he walked straight into the Shuai Mansion.

After waiting for a short time, Coach Xiang Mu Tou came out in his clothes, and his face showed tiredness, which should be overworked at night.

"What are you doing here without sleeping so late?" The manager sat down on a stool.

"Dashuai, something is wrong."

"What can be the big deal, the enemy forces outside the city have withdrawn? Siege? Or was Mr. Zhang killed? "The manager was very calm, he didn't believe anything big could happen in the city.

"I don't know if Mr. Zhang is dead or not, he didn't come back anyway. Not only did the enemy troops outside the city not retreat, but not long ago a large area of fire was found in the jungle in the north, and I am afraid that the enemy troops who were ambushed there were exposed. The 2,000 people outside the city have come to deceive us and lead us out of the city! ”

"No, no, no, you are wrong, since it is an ambush, how can it suddenly ignite at night and expose its whereabouts for us to see. This must be the enemy army outside the city bluffing, leave them alone, just those 2,000 people, let them fight for a year and enter this city. Go back to sleep. "The manager got up and left.

"General, go and take a look, there may really be a lot of enemy troops hidden in the forest in the north, if there are really enemy troops, it is estimated that there will be no less than thirty or forty thousand people, they really fight, we can't hold it!" The general on duty stood up and shouted.

The boss turned around and said: "How can there be so many enemy troops, don't you know how many garrisons there are in Annan in the north?" Can they reach the city? The city gate is optimistic, as long as the city gate is not broken, let them fight as they please. After saying that, he left, leaving the general on duty in a daze.

Do you really leave it alone? If there are really 30,000 or 40,000 people, where will this small city live? Is the handsome too confident, but don't burden them with their lives.

The general on duty had to leave the marshal's mansion and return to the city to continue to stare at the fire, if there were really tens of thousands of enemy troops coming, it was better to flee for his life in advance.

As he stared, the little fires in the distance suddenly went out in a short period of time, and the north fell into darkness again.

Whether it is as the marshal said, they are bluffing, or there are really tens of thousands of people ambushed in the northern forest, it shows that the lazy appearance of the enemy troops outside the city during the day is for the defenders of the city to see, and it is really difficult to say what purpose they have, but it is obviously not goodwill.

"Give me some spiritual points, stare the city to death, and release arrows when you find movement!" The general gave the order.

"Yes!" The defenders of the city also noticed the anomaly in the distance, and their hearts became even more nervous.

The fire was extinguished, and even if there were most enemy troops in ambush in the distance, it was impossible for them to march and attack in the dark of night. After making a round trip, the general on duty turned around and went down to the city, and went back to sleep.

It's dawn.

Looking down from the city, the enemy camp a mile away was as before, the tents were not missing, the flags were not moving, the smoke was rising in front of the camp, and cooking was being set up in pots.

The calmness of the enemy army made the defenders of Champa doubt their existence and eyes. With only 2,000 people, they dare to feel like they are at home under the noses of the 20,000 defenders of the city, which is completely ignoring the defenders of the city.

The defenders of the city were indignant, why were they afraid that their handful of men would open the city gate and charge to take down all the enemy troops, but now they were so nervous that they couldn't even sleep at night, and the two legs standing on the city were almost not their own.

But they can only be upset in their hearts, because they are not generals, nor commanders, but insignificant soldiers.

The general on duty slept well, ate a full meal, and came up to the city again.

"What's going on with them?" The general on duty raised his eyes in the direction of the northern jungle, where nothing could be seen at this time, and everything in that land was covered by verdant forests.

"No, as before, they started cooking at dawn, and now they haven't eaten it in their mouths, and the smoke is still cooking." The leader of the defenders, who was staring at the outside of the city, turned around and replied.

"But someone came out of the woods to the north?" The general on duty glanced at the enemy camp not far away, and it was indeed as before, and he did not see any hostility, but the more this happened, the more he felt that they were suspicious.

"No, I didn't find anyone coming out of that wood." The captain of the defending squad replied firmly.

"Okay, keep watching. If there is any change, report it immediately! Then the general turned and went down the city.

The spirit of the defenders at the city gate is very good, and the city gate is guarded very tightly, and the gate has been dead, even if the city gate is opened from the inside, it is not easy for three or five people to open it.

Seeing the general on duty coming to inspect from a distance, the gatekeeping team immediately adjusted their posture, all of them were like javelins standing on the ground, standing upright and full of energy, as if they could see the endless desire to fight from them.

"Fortunately, there is any movement outside the city?" The general on duty asked as a matter of routine.

"No, it's quiet outside the city." The captain of the city gate team answered neatly. The city gates were closed, and they naturally couldn't see what was happening outside the city behind the gates, they could only listen through their ears, and they naturally didn't know anything when nothing happened outside the city last night.

"Well, watch the city gates, don't let anyone out, let alone let anyone in, the city gate is closed, the enemy army will not retreat, and the city gate should not be opened." The general on duty commanded.

"Yes." The goalkeeper should claim to be.

"General, didn't the man who went out last night go to retreat from the enemy army? The enemy forces outside the city have not retreated? The captain of the gatekeeper asked cautiously. The guards next to him laughed secretly, but they just held back their laughter, and did not laugh out loud, nor did they let the general see the mocking look on their faces.

The general on duty said: "That's a braggart liar, it's hard to say whether he can survive or not, let alone retreat from the enemy." ”

"Will he die at the hands of those enemies outside the city?" The goalkeeper asked again.

The general on duty said: "It doesn't matter if he dies or not, he wants to go out by himself, and we can't stop him." Leave him alone, and watch over your own gates. Then he turned and left.

When the general on duty walked away, a guard at the gate said: "Didn't that man brag yesterday that he wanted to retreat from the enemy alone?" It's all been a night, and it's not really going to die. ”

"Hehe, bragging is still Vijaya people are powerful, tongue defense, tongue retreat, tongue attack, this is their strength, in their opinion, as long as the mouth is open, saliva spray, the enemy is dead, in their eyes, the enemy is not even as good as the little ant that can still struggle in the spit."

"Open your mouth, it is estimated that you can really retreat from the enemy, a mouthful of stinky and poisonous gas spews out, the enemy is not so frightened that he immediately farts and urine, he picks up his tail and runs, this can also retreat from the enemy."

"You're on point. They're all bad mouths, and they might be able to squirt the enemy back. ”

"No, they spray us little people, that stinky saliva only has an effect on us, when we meet the enemy, people don't eat their sets, I guess we have to plug their mouths."

"If you think about it, every time they open their mouths to spray us little people, we have to be obedient and do whatever we want, otherwise we will be sprayed to death, and when the enemy comes, we have to sweat and bleed. What a rotten way this is! ”

"Alright, alright, the more you talk about it, the more you go too far. When you're done complaining, shut up for me. ”

The soldiers muttered, but gradually fell silent, and calm returned to the city gates.
