"Report to the corps commander, the opposing battle guards suddenly all retreated, and they themselves opened the sealed city gate, the strangest thing is that the opposite commander, the man actually ran to the city wall alone, drinking wine and playing the flute." General Chumo and the soldiers didn't know what kind of trick the other party had arranged, so they temporarily withdrew their troops and retreated three miles. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? When he rode to the front of the army and looked at the opposite city wall, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, only to see Ling Xia sitting cross-legged on the city wall, playing the bamboo flute while drinking and singing.

After looking at the front of the formation for a while, Nakajima Xue'an's face showed a hint of surprise, and he turned sideways to ask Xiong Chumo. "That person is the main general of the city guard on the other side?"

Xiong Chumo was the first batch of generals who came to Beicheng to be responsible for the siege, but she was originally only an auxiliary general, some time ago Dohara Shiji and other main generals died, she was brought up, because she came to Beicheng relatively early, so she still knew a little about Ling Xia, after listening to Nakajima Xue'an's inquiry, she nodded lightly and replied:

"Commander of the Qiqi Corps, there is a man named Ling Xia sitting on the city wall, he is the master of the Xia Dynasty, married the princess of the Xia Dynasty, according to rumors, this person's martial arts are very high, once killed four masters of true qi cultivation by himself, not only that, but he also created a record of killing thousands of internal guards by himself, it can be said that his cultivation is very terrifying.

In addition to his superb martial arts attainments, this person's military strategy is also very powerful, General Yoshio Yamamoto is because of his loss, recklessly sent troops into the city, resulting in more than 300,000 soldiers and horses were killed, and later General Tsuchihara Ishiji came over, and also planted a heel from this person, and even he and his subordinate generals were all killed by the other party. ”

"If this man is so powerful, why did he remove all the soldiers? Why do you sit alone on the city wall, playing music and drinking? After whispering, Nakajima Xue'an looked at the other party intently, looking at Ling Xia's calm expression, he showed a suspicious expression on his face: "The other party took the initiative to open the city gate himself, does he want to lead us into the city?"

No, he would never dare to let us enter the city, with the strength of the opposing battle guards, if our army really entered on a large scale, the soldiers and horses defending the city would be wiped out in an instant. Do they want to give up the city? It's impossible, these people were desperately defending the city just now, how could they take the initiative to abandon the city? Could it be that this person is playing tricks? ”

……

Just when Nakajima Xue'an guessed Ling Xia's purpose with a suspicious face from the opposite side, Fu Qingyun and the others in the city wall also pinched a cold sweat for Ling Xia, they looked at Ling Xia behind the city wall, looking at Ling Xia's back playing the flute, drinking, and singing, everyone's hearts were all raised to their throats, if the other party saw through Ling Xia's plan, then Ling Xia would be in danger.

At this moment, the soldiers were slaughtering the war horses, according to Ling Xia's instructions, they all hid on the side of the city wall, avoiding the empty city gate, so that the city gate gave people an illusion, that is, the city gate was empty, but Ling Xia asked the soldiers to make a sound when they slaughtered the war horse to eat meat, and tried to make the smell of meat in the pot waft out.

"Kunlun, how are you observing? Is there any movement of the enemy forces outside the city? It's been so long, is the other party still guarding outside? The soldiers are all full, and they are all resting at this time, do you ask Ling Xia to come down and eat something? An hour later, Fu Qingyun looked up at the city wall and said with a concerned face.

At this time, Xiang Kunlun was lying on the edge of the city wall, and was cautiously looking at the opposite side to inquire about the enemy's situation, and after hearing Fu Qingyun's inquiry, he ran down and whispered: "The main generals on the opposite side have all come out, and General Ling can't come down, because at this moment, the generals of the island country are looking at General Ling, and even the commander of the island country has come out." ”

Not only Fu Qingyun and the other generals were nervous, but in fact, the soldiers below also looked at Ling Xia with worried expressions.

Knowing that the soldiers were hungry, Ling Xia ordered to slaughter the war horses under his command to satisfy everyone's hunger, seeing that the soldiers were exhausted, Ling Xia actually disregarded the respect of the horses, and personally went into battle to replace all the soldiers, creating an opportunity for everyone to rest, these actions warmed the hearts of the soldiers.

I saw Ling Xia hanging the lamp next to an arrow tower, he sat cross-legged under the lamp, in front of him were a jar of wine and a plate of roast chicken, Ling Xia calmly played music with a bamboo flute, and occasionally hummed a few words loudly, singing to a happy place, Ling Xia actually picked up the roast chicken and bit it, and even picked up the wine jar and drank wildly, his demeanor was chic and heroic, and his expression was calm.

Three miles away from Ling Xia, the army of 440,000 island countries was divided into eleven phalanxes and ready to go, Nakajima Xue'an, Xiong Chumo and dozens of senior generals stood in front of the team, they looked at Ling Xia's suspicious behavior, all of them were a little bottomless in their hearts, silently staring at Ling Xia on the city wall, no one dared to rush forward.

In this way, Ling Xia relied on his own strength to keep the 440,000 troops on the opposite side out of the city gate, one hour, two hours, three hours, three hours passed, Nakajima Snow Shore never dared to give the order to attack, his reason reminded him that Ling Xia should be bluffing, but his character suspected that there was fraud in this.

Ling Xia played the flute from the city wall for three hours, while Nakajima Xue'an stood under the city wall and listened for three hours, he wanted to analyze Ling Xia's state of mind according to the changes in the rhythm of the flute, but three hours passed, Ling Xia's flute sound remained the same, there was no change from beginning to end, neither ostentatious nor low, and there was no flaw at all.

"Commander, it's been three hours, do we want to attack the city?" Xiong Chumo asked.

"What if Ling Xia sets a trap from behind the city gate?" Nakajima said in a deep voice.

"In that case, how about we withdraw our troops and rest first?" The adjutant suggested.

"But what if Ling Xia is bluffing and delaying time?" Nakajima Yukigan groaned.

The adjutant and Xiong Chumo glanced at each other and said in unison, "Or?" Let's first send a division as the vanguard to test the reality of the opposing battle guards? ”

"What if Ling Xia used his tricks to set up a trap in advance and confuse the vanguard troops?" Nakajima Yukigan frowned.

"If we are afraid that the vanguard will be confused, then we will continue to attack the city." The two made another suggestion.

"The other party has already opened the city gates, what are we still attacking the city for? Do we have to climb through the wall to get in without leaving the gates? Now the question is not whether to attack the city, but whether we can enter the city? Nakajima Xue'an retorted and asked hesitantly, "You say, Ling Xia's purpose in doing this is to lure us into the city?" Or is it to stop us from entering the city? ”
