Outside the city everything was the same as before from morning to night, the enemy army was still so lazy, and the smoke of the cooking still rose in front of the battle, not in a hurry or impatient, as if in their own base camp.

The defenders of the city were also infected by them, and gradually became a little lazy, and even could not lift their spirits, because they were like fools in front of the enemy troops under the city.

But the general on duty did not think so, and every other hour he had to go up to the city to go around and carefully observe the movements of the enemy army, but at the end of the day he found nothing. But he was convinced that the more the enemy army seemed to have no problems, the bigger the problems.

In this way, Coach Xiang Mu Tou was pulled to the city by him, and wanted him to see for himself whether the enemy army outside the city was engaged in some conspiracy behind his back, he couldn't see it, but the coach was well-informed, and maybe he could see through it.

The boss went up to the city, stared at the camp outside the city for a while, and then turned and went down.

The general on duty looked at the commander's relaxed expression, and he didn't know if he saw anything, and it was not easy to ask directly in front of the soldiers, so he followed him down to the city and returned to the marshal's mansion.

"Dashuai, did you notice anything abnormal?" As soon as the general on duty entered the marshal's mansion, he couldn't help but ask.

Coach Xiang Mu Tou smiled: "I said earlier, don't panic, they are just bluffing, just go up and take a look, sure enough." ”

The boss sold a pass, but the general on duty was in a hurry, and was about to ask again, but the boss asked rhetorically: "What do you think of the size of the cooking smoke in the camp outside the city today?" ”

Although the general on duty didn't know what the marshal meant by asking, it must have something to do with the enemy's conspiracy, so he replied truthfully in a daze: "It's bigger and thicker than before." ”

"Is there more smoke than before, or is it less?" Coach Xiang Mu Tou sat down on the stool and asked with a smile, posing as if he had broken the mystery.

The general on duty thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "The last general didn't pay attention to this. ”

"Yesterday I also went to the city to see it, and yesterday the smoke was small, but the quantity was large, and today on the contrary, the smoke is large, but the quantity is small, and the less is not a little or two, but a small and a half. They tried to cover up this fact with thick smoke, but they were self-defeating and instead directly exposed their intentions to us. The coach said slowly, and before he finished speaking, he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

Seeing that the mystery was revealed, and he was about to sell Guanzi again, this made the general on duty anxious, and couldn't help asking: "Dashuai, is there anything wrong with this cooking smoke?" ”

Da Shuai put down the teacup, spit out the tea leaves, and then said slowly: "The problem is in the cooking smoke." This cooking smoke is used to make a fire for cooking, yesterday there is more, and today it is less, which means that now the number of people in their camp has decreased, and where has the enemy army gone? In the jungle to the north. There were a lot of fires in the north last night, and they must have done it by dividing their troops, and the smoke was very thick today, just to cover up the fact that they had divided their troops and hid in the jungle, so that we could believe that there were really tens of thousands of enemy troops in the jungle. That's a bluff! Now you get the idea. ”

After listening to the commander's explanation, the general on duty nodded and praised the commander for his delicate mind and ability to find out the enemy's division of troops in the smoke. But then another question arose in his mind, so he asked: "Great commander, they only have two thousand men, and what is the purpose of dividing their troops to create a false impression in the jungle and bluff?" Is this any benefit to them? ”

Coach Xiang Mu Tou was originally immersed in the satisfaction of breaking through the mystery of the enemy's cooking, and when he heard such a question raised by his subordinates, his mind couldn't turn for a while, this question was really incomprehensible, what was he going to do with a bluff? Coerced the defenders into abandoning the city and surrendering? What a joke, it's simply impossible!

But at this time, he is not allowed to say that he does not know, he was so wise just now, and now he says that he does not know, how to shock these young officers in the future, how to make them obey orders!

So he replied: "Ge Zhinaye, you have asked this question very well, but you can't ask me everything, you will have to face the enemy alone in the future, it's time to think about it yourself, and when you think about this problem, you can become a general who can really fight, not a general who can only be on duty." ”

The young general on duty named Ge Zhinaye nodded and said, "The lesson of the marshal is that the last general will retire. ”

"Go, although the enemy army outside the city is not to be worried, but also to keep an eye on it." The handsome calmly picked up the teacup.

With the questions he raised, General Ge Shinaye turned and left the marshal's mansion.

Watching the general on duty walk away, Coach Xiang Mu Tou muttered: "Do you want to do so much when you are young, do you want to replace my position as the commander, in another twenty years, if you can live that long." ”

The smoke from the cooking outside the city became thicker and thicker, gradually obscuring the sky, and even the enemy camp tents were a little unrealistic, and almost all of them were shrouded in the cooking smoke.

Before it got dark, everything outside the city disappeared into a miasma.

General Ge Zhinaye watched everything happen in front of him, this should be some kind of conspiracy and trick of the enemy army, is it to take advantage of the smoke screen to withdraw the remaining enemy troops into the jungle, and continue to play bluff tricks at night? He can't figure it out yet, but he'll start thinking about it himself, as the manager said, or he'll have to be a janitor.

"Defend tightly, don't let up." He made another round around the city, reminding the defenders who had gradually relaxed after two days of intense vigilance not to be deceived by the illusion of the enemy.

However, his reminder didn't have much effect, after all, the enemy army outside the city was so numerous, even if they didn't resist, the enemy army couldn't fight, so what was there to be afraid of, besides, they were still so lazy, and they didn't seem to be threatening at all.

The young General Ge Zhinaye was very helpless, he really couldn't control these people, he was used to being lazy without an enemy, and when the enemy troops outside the city first came, they were still a little nervous, and now they couldn't be nervous anymore when they saw that there were no more enemy troops.

Now let them be vigilant, even if they say it, they will not pay attention, unless the army is overwhelmed.

After a few rounds of the city, it was getting dark.

The smoke outside the city has not yet cleared, blending with the gray sky, and it is not known what conspiracy and secrets are hidden in the darkness.

Looking in the direction of the Annam people in the north, Ge Zhinaye's thoughts raced.

What is the point of the enemy army doing this, he still can't figure it out, he can't see through it, maybe when he can figure things out for himself, he will become as wise as Commander Xiang Mu Tou, as respected by the whole army as he is, and able to command all the generals and soldiers like him!

At that time, he will be able to revive the glory of the family, so that those noble children who have looked down on him since childhood and bullied him will rush to slap him, and the women who were snatched away will be snatched back one by one, and all their women will be snatched over!

His woman, other people's women, flashed in front of his eyes, snatched over, snatched them all! Not only to snatch it, but also to bully their women in front of them, let them see it with their own eyes, and give them everything back tenfold and hundredfold!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his qi and blood gradually began to surge!

"General, you go back and rest first, and we will guard the city."

The sudden words from beside him pulled him back to reality, and he looked back blankly to find that he was still standing at the head of the city. He still has a long way to go, and he doesn't know how long it will take him to get there, but he believes that no matter how long he walks, he will definitely be able to reach the end he wants, and he will definitely be able to!

Glancing at the captain of the city guarding team who was talking to him, Ge Yuzhinaye smiled: "Okay, you guys take a good look, and report any findings immediately!" ”

The squad leader said in a loud voice: "Yes, please rest assured general, with us, no matter how many enemies there are, they will not be able to come up." ”

Ge Zhinaye patted the squad leader on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Do a good job, I remember you." Then he turned around and went down to the city.

The squad leader behind him said loudly: "Thank you, general, we will definitely defend the city well and never let the enemy step on the city wall!" ”

Ge Zhinaye returned to the city and went straight to rest.

But how did he sleep this night? The humiliating and unbearable pictures of the past appeared in front of his eyes one by one, and the fantasy of regaining the glory of the family in the future made his whole body surge!

This night was destined to be sleepless.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was too tired, but Ge Yuzhinaye still fell asleep.

In the dream, he lingered with the woman who once belonged to him, and was passionate with other people's women, and in front of others, too exciting, too excited, this is the life he wants, those ugly faces who kneel and beg for mercy and cry are the faces he has always wanted to see! Revenge, revenge, don't even think about running away! In the past, the people who flew and were domineering were like little rabbits, frightened and helpless, but they couldn't do anything, this is what he wanted to see the most, and now that it has been realized, he couldn't help laughing!

"Hahaha...... Hahaha......."

The soldiers on night duty outside the house were awakened by the laughter inside the house and looked at each other.

What's going on with the general these days? Going crazy in the middle of the night? None of them dared to ask.

"General, there's a situation outside the city!" Just as the soldiers on duty at night were laughing secretly, suddenly a guard of the city came.

"What's the situation? The general is resting, waiting for the general to wake up. The night guard scolded in a low voice.

"Emergency! Enemy attack! ”

As soon as the night guard heard the enemy's attack, he immediately turned around and knocked on the door, shouting at the same time: "General, there is a situation outside the city!" ”

After a while, the door opened, and a disgruntled Ge Zhinaye appeared in front of everyone and asked in a loud voice, "What's the situation?" ”

The defender of the city cautiously replied: "General, there are a lot of fires in the north, unlike last night, and now they are approaching us, and there is a large area of firelight, and there is no end in sight. The general should go and see for himself, I'm afraid that the Annan people are going to call. ”

When he heard of this new situation, he did not bother to go back to his room to get his clothes, and hurried up to the top of the city.

When I looked up, I was shocked by what I saw!

I saw a firelight in the north lined up in a long strip, it seemed to be like a fire dragon, I don't know how long, one end was in the vast mountain forest, and the other was towards the small city at the foot. If you look closely, you can see that the fire dragon is slowly moving forward, getting closer and closer to the city they are holding!

The army of Annam is coming!
