Chapter 211: The Battle of the Defending the City XXV
Nakajima Xue'an didn't expect that it was because of his caution and suspicion that he fell for Ling Xia's empty city plan, seeing Ling Xia boxing and practicing in front of more than 400,000 people, and then swaggering at the city gate, he thought that Ling Xia was deliberately provoking himself, wanting to lure himself into sending troops into the city.
"Your Excellency the Corps Commander, the other party's battle guards are only tens of thousands of people, this point of strength is not worth mentioning to us at all, before they relied on the city wall to deal with us, but now the other party has opened the city gate, it is simply self-destruction, in the opinion of the last general, even if they set a trap, it is useless, why don't we take the opportunity to destroy it in one fell swoop?" Xiong Chumo said in a deep voice.
"General Xiong's words are wrong." Smiling and waving his hand, Nakajima Xuegan pointed to Ling Xia on the opposite side and said: "This person is noble and scheming, a person like him will never be in danger alone, but now he is walking out of the city gate alone and sitting there to provoke, he uses his trick as bait, and that horse master wants to use himself as bait to catch us."
Now that we know that the other party has set a trap and is waiting for us, then why do we send soldiers to die? Although the number of the other party is less than ours, their trap should not be underestimated, the 300,000 soldiers who died are a lesson, you are the most loyal soldiers of the empire, and the most valuable resource under my command, I must not watch you die in vain. ”
Nakajima Xuegan's words, all the generals of the island country were moved, Xiong Chumo left tears of gratitude, some generals directly relayed Nakajima Xuean's words to the soldiers below, knowing that Nakajima Xuegan cared about himself so much, the soldiers of the island country were all moved to cry, Nakajima Xuegan was very satisfied with this effect.
"Then when are we going to attack the other side? Can't we just keep waiting? The adjutant said softly.
"Of course we can't wait any longer, it's too dark at night, we can't see the layout of the traps in the opposite city at all, if you rush in, you will inevitably suffer a big loss, I'm worried that everyone will repeat the mistake of the previous 300,000 troops being wiped out, so I won't let you attack the city." Speaking of which, Nakajima Yukigan looked up at the sky:
"You can't storm a city at night, but you can do it during the day. After dawn, we will send troops into the city, by that time, the sky is already bright, even if the enemy army has set traps from the city, we can see through it at a glance, as long as the soldiers enter the city and bypass those traps, under the light of the sun, all the traps can be hidden. ”
"Your Excellency, Commander, what if the opponent's large army takes advantage of the night cover to move? Will the other party run away overnight? Xiong Chumo worried.
"Transfer? Have you forgotten that Ling Xia is still sitting at the gate of the city? The colts didn't go, where did they go? Hehe......" sneered, and Nakajima Xue'an pouted at Ling Xia's side: "Have you forgotten the Ling Xia on the other side?" Don't worry, as long as Ling Xia, the horse master, doesn't retreat, the battle guards on the other side won't dare to retreat, okay, let's go back and rest. ”
After listening to Nakajima Xuegan's plan, looking at Nakajima's confident appearance, although the general felt that he was too cautious in doing this, but because of his identity, no one could say anything, and after seeing Nakajima Xuegan finish speaking, he entered the camp tent, not giving everyone a chance to refute at all, Xiong Chumo and the adjutant looked at each other, and everyone had to acquiesce to his plan.
Ling Xia sat under the city gate, looking at the other side expressionlessly. Nakajima Xue'an sat in the camp tent and looked at Ling Xia with a smug expression. Behind Ling Xia was the empty city gate, and he sat cross-legged in the middle of the gate alone, facing the 440,000 troops in the distance with his own body, while Nakajima Xuegan led the 440,000 to stop in place.
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them and couldn't close their mouths, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed all this, Ling Xia actually shocked the 440,000 enemy troops on the opposite side by himself, and more than 400,000 soldiers and horses in the island country, he didn't dare to take a step forward because of Ling Xia's existence, Ling Xia stood in front of the two armies like a god of war.
"The horse master is really fierce, and he actually resisted more than 400,000 enemies by himself."
"The horse master has four legions against one enemy, and the other party has never dared to take a step forward."
"How does the colt do it? He himself pinned down all those enemy forces. ”
Seeing that Ling Xia was holding back the enemy's four legions alone, the battle guard camp was boiling, and the soldiers were talking about Ling Xia's deeds.
Time passed minute by minute, six hours later, the sky was already bright, looking at the rising sun, Ling Xia sighed secretly, the enemy army could not see the reality clearly at night, and did not dare to blindly rush into the city, but it was not possible during the day, attacking the city during the day, it was convenient for the enemy army to spy on the intelligence of the inner city, not to mention that there were no traps inside, even if it was really arranged, the enemy could see through it at a glance.
After another half an hour, the sky was completely bright, looking up at the sky, Ling Xia stood up, and then walked towards the city without looking back, as soon as he entered the city gate, he ordered the soldiers to carry stones to reseal the city gate, at the same time, Ling Xia sent the soldiers who had rested all night to the city wall.
After a night of rest and recuperation, the soldiers' mental state and physical strength were all restored, because they had been ordered in advance, so the canteen had already eaten the horse meat left over from last night to everyone, when everyone was full of food and drink, it happened that Ling Xia returned to the city from outside, as soon as they met, he ordered a level of combat readiness, and when he heard the order, the soldiers immediately prepared for battle.
……
Nakajima Xue'an was figuring out Ling Xia's trap structure, but when he saw Ling Xia get up and stretch his waist and go back to the city, when Ling Xia turned around and left, Nakajima Xue'an suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, especially when he saw the soldiers of the Battle Guards standing on the city wall again, his face gradually darkened.
The reason for this is that because Nakajima Snow Shore discovered a detail, yesterday those battle guards were still in a state of mind and weak, but after a night's work, the soldiers on the opposite side became vigorous and vigorous, not only with ruddy complexions, smooth blood and qi, but also full of hiccups.
"Baga, I was fooled, that damn Ling Xia actually deceived me, it turned out that he was bluffing last night, ah-------- I was really stupid, I was actually bluffed by him, I am simply a stupid pig, I actually made such a low-level mistake, why didn't I give the order to enter the city last night?"
At this time, Nakajima Xue'an finally came back to his senses, thinking that his 440,000 army had been blocked by Ling Xia alone for a whole night, he was both ashamed and angry, looking at the battle guards on the opposite city wall, he ordered angrily: "Attack, attack immediately, everyone is dispatched!" ”
Nakajima Xue'an was annoyed and angry, and directly dispatched all the troops to attack, seeing the island army surging like a tide, Ling Xia hesitated for a moment, and then asked Yue Qianfeng to transport those jars full of hemp to the city wall.
