Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

"Since they deliberately want us to attack, why don't we do the opposite, not attack, and wait a little longer?" Cui Li suggested on the side.

"No!! We can't wait for time, but we need to attack Yiling Pass immediately!! My tone was low.

"Attack Yiling Pass immediately? But didn't you say you couldn't attack before? Cui Li looked at me puzzled.

"The way of using soldiers lies in the virtual and the real, the real and the virtual, the virtual and the virtual, the virtual and the real, and the real and the virtual" I looked at Cui Li and said.

"What does this mean, wouldn't we already know that the other party's intention in withdrawing the archers was to make us attack rashly? But why do we still know the other party's intentions and march to Yiling Pass?" Cui Li looked at me and asked.

"This is the so-called virtual reality, real reality and virtual reality, we seem to be marching into the army in a big way, but in fact we are not moving, throwing stones to ask for directions, but to see what mysteries are in this Yiling Pass." I replied.

"The more I listen, the more confused I become." Lin Yun looked at me with wide eyes.

"You'll know when the time comes." I said mysteriously.

In the early morning of the next day, the camp had already gathered 30,000 troops and attacked Yiling Pass. In front of the Yiling Pass, where our army had arrived, I looked towards the towering Yiling Pass, and sure enough, all the archers on the enemy's city wall had been withdrawn, not even a single soldier guarding the city wall.

"It looks like the enemy wants to invite us into the city." Cui Li said jokingly.

That's right, in the eyes of ordinary people, this Yiling Pass has no defense capability at all, but in fact, no one knows how many defenders there are in Yiling Pass. Everything is an unknown existence, and all we can do at this time is guess.

"Cheng Yin, you see, I'll just say that this Yiling Pass doesn't have any troops now, and if you don't attack now, it will be tantamount to missing the best opportunity to attack, and it's hard to say whether there will be such an opportunity in the future." Professor Twilight began urging me to attack quickly.

"Don't worry, let's take a look first, it's still difficult to say about the situation in Yiling Pass." I didn't listen to Professor Due's advice.

"Archer, prepare !!" After I finished speaking, a row of archers suddenly appeared in front of the formation, pulling their bows and heading towards Yiling Pass on the opposite side.

"This ...... On the walls of this wall...... There is a person on it...... No one is ...... No, you bow...... Bows and arrows can ...... What can it do...... Use?" Hu Zaide said with a smile.

"Bows and arrows really don't have any effect on empty walls, but fire bolts are different." I waved my hand, and the archers wrapped cotton cloth around the arrows, poured wine on them, and lit fires.

"Attack !!" I shouted.

Countless rockets flew towards the enemy's Yiling Pass. The fire burned the walls, and although most of them were made of rock, the wooden structures were already on fire. However, the enemy's Yiling Pass was still very quiet, and there was no soldier coming to put out the fire, and there was no sound of shouting, as if there was really no one in Yiling Pass.

"Look, what I said, don't say that there is no Lu Xun of Eastern Wu in this Yiling Pass, not even the soldiers guarding the city, I think they must have given up Yiling Pass on their own initiative because of the long confrontation.

Take the initiative to give up Yiling Pass, but no matter how I think about it, the terrain of Yiling Pass is extremely important, and it is still easy to defend and difficult to attack, why give up such an important strategic place, I always can't understand it in my heart, but it is true that even if the flames connect the entire Yiling Pass into a sea of fire, I did not see a soldier come to put out the fire, why is this? Could it really be that there were no soldiers of the Wu army in this Yiling Pass as Professor Dujiang said, and they had already withdrawn from Yiling Pass? But I still can't believe it's true, isn't...

"Cheng Yin, the enemy really doesn't seem to have any movement, are they really not in Yiling Pass?" Cui Li was also a little hesitant.

In fact, my decision to attack this time did not intend to really attack Yiling Pass, but to play tricks and see what the enemy has to be famous, but who knows that the current situation is giving me a dilemma.

Originally, I didn't know the specific situation of the enemy, and it would be okay if I didn't attack, but now I see that the enemy is still indifferent even in the face of such flames, I still don't give the order to attack, and I will definitely attract tongue in the future, but if I rashly order the attack, but if the enemy just doesn't move, my army may be wiped out in an instant, and then we will have no hope of leaving this strange formation.

Whatever decision I make, it takes a lot of courage, but right now I'm torn between attacking and not attacking.

Yiling Pass is already a sea of fire, our archers still haven't stopped attacking, rockets are still heading towards the enemy's city wall, the situation is already so critical, but there is still no movement from the Wu army.

"Cheng Yin, why don't you send a few thousand troops to see the truth first?" Professor Wu suggested.

Sending infantry to see the enemy's reality is indeed a steady move.

"Infantry, prepare !!" In fact, I also thought of sending infantry to explore the reality, but my original idea was that once the rocket hit the enemy's city wall, the Wu army would definitely be in chaos, and then we knew that this was undoubtedly just an empty city plan of the Wu army. Wu Jun did not move at this time, but instead took me into the army.

Three thousand infantry are already ahead of my army, and at the slightest command from me they can advance towards the enemy's walls.

"Offensive !!" I yelled.

The three thousand infantry quickly ran towards the city wall, because there were no archers on the city wall, so the infantry did not carry tiger shields, and the pace was much lighter, and the speed of advancing towards Yiling Pass was also much faster.

I am very steady in this move, but I want to see how Lu Xun of Dongwu takes the move, and now is the time to see if he can stabilize.

The infantry moved forward at a fast pace, and in a short time they came to the bottom of the city walls.

"The infantry has safely reached the city walls!!" Cui Li said happily.

But there is no half joy on my face, I have always believed that there must be defenders in Yiling Pass, and Lu Xun of Eastern Wu must also be in Yiling Pass, but our infantry has already come to the city, and I am still indifferent, I really don't know if Lu Xun's heart has already drawn up a chess game, and it is bound to win.
