(Foreword)

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

(Text)

The enemy's strong winds blew away the flood created by the "Celestial Dragon Lance" in Xia Cheng, and at the same time prevented our archers from continuing to fire their bows and arrows, which was truly a double win.

Seeing this scene, Xia Cheng had no choice but to withdraw the "Heavenly Dragon Spear" in his hand, and soon the flood in front of him receded.

In this battle between the two armies, Lu Xun obviously had the upper hand, it seems that he had planned before, and all this was in his plan.

"Cheng Yin, I don't understand this, didn't Xia Cheng have a very good effect when he used Alluring Water before? The enemy didn't have time to use the wind-making machine to fight back, but why was the situation completely different this time? As soon as our army used the 'Celestial Dragon Lance''s Alluring Water, the enemy activated the mechanism of the tempest. What the hell is going on? Cui Li asked in shock.

"That's right, didn't Xia Cheng say before that it would take a certain amount of time for the enemy's machine to create a strong wind to start? But why can this time the mechanism be activated instantly, this is simply unreasonable, can the settings in this 'strange array' be changed at will? Zhao Yuyu said angrily.

I looked at the battle situation in front of me, and it was clear that the setting in the "Strange Array" would not be easily changed, so that it meant that the mechanism that created the wind could not be activated instantly, and there was only one reason for all this, but it was this reason that made this battle more difficult.

"The setting in 'Odd Array' hasn't changed, the mechanism that created the wind has not been activated, which means that the wind has nothing to do with that mechanism......"

Before I finished speaking, Cui Li asked: "Cheng Yin, why do you talk about me more and more confused, you said that the mechanism that created the wind was not activated at all, so where did the wind come from?" You can't just appear out of nowhere, can you? This Lu Xun didn't necessarily have the right time, knowing that there would be a strong wind? It's impossible. ”

"Cui Li, you're right, Lu Xun didn't count the time, but just did a simple thing. Imagine what else can set off such a hurricane on this battlefield except the machine that creates a strong wind? ”

My rhetorical question has clearly given the answer.

"Cheng Yin, this is still a question of what I mean, apart from that machine in this battlefield, only that 'Tianjing Fan' can create a strong wind, but I didn't fall into the ......," Professor Wu said halfway, obviously understanding what I meant.

"Cheng Yin, you're not joking. Could it be that the enemy army picked up the 'Tianjing Fan' dropped by Professor Wu? Zhao Yuyu's expression obviously became flustered.

"I'm afraid it's not a joke, the only thing that can instantly unleash a violent wind is the 'Tianjing Fan', in other words, we have lost one of our most powerful skills, but this skill has been mastered by the enemy." I reluctantly explained.

"Hey...... It's all my fault, if I hadn't thrown this fan on the battlefield at that time, I might have been able to rely on Xia Cheng's 'Heavenly Dragon Spear' to win this battle, but I ......" Professor Wu blamed himself deeply, as if the light of victory was shining on us, but we moved our position by ourselves.

"Professor Wu is not too self-reproachful, I believe that with Lu Xun's strategy, even if he didn't pick up that 'Tianjing Fan', he would definitely be able to think of a way to deal with our 'Heavenly Dragon Spear''s Alluring Water, and if he wanted to leave this 'Strange Array', it would never be possible to do it just by launching a single Alluring Water. Although this time the Alluring City Water did not succeed, it does not mean that we have lost this battle, I believe that Xia Cheng has also thought of all this, and we still have hope. I said.

"Cheng Yin, is there really any hope? Although I don't know if I can really get out of here, but we have been through so much before, and every time we can think of a way to get out of the dangerous situation we are in, so this time I want to choose to believe, believe in you, believe in Xia Cheng, and believe in everyone here. Cheng Yin ......" Cui Li wanted to speak and stopped, this didn't seem to be like his usual life.

But at this moment, the earth-shattering drums sounded outside Yiling Pass again, and the enemy army was obviously ready to attack again. With the help of the wind, they can basically ignore the attacks of our archers, and to be honest, I don't know what Xia Cheng's next plan is, and all I have to do at this time is to wait here quietly until the moment this door in front of me opens.

"Attack with all your troops!" Zhou Tai, the general of Eastern Wu, led an army of 10,000 to Yiling Pass of our army.

"Cheng Yin, you see that Zhou Tai is coming to us with 10,000 soldiers, and with our current strength, if we rush out, we will definitely be able to defeat them. Not enough to shake the enemy's main forces, but enough to reduce their remaining forces and reduce their morale. What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

Cui Li's proposal sounds flawless, but in fact it is a big plan if you can't bear it, maybe Zhang Hanheli and I can defeat the enemy's 10,000 troops who came to attack Yiling Pass, but this will undoubtedly tell the enemy that our army has a plan to gather heavy troops before the battle gate.

In this way, it will be impossible for the plan made with Xia Cheng before to continue.

"Cui Li, now we must not act rashly, Zhang Han and I have more important tasks, although your suggestion can temporarily force back the 10,000 enemy troops who came to us, but it will only be exchanged for a tighter deployment and cautious attack of the enemy army." I directly rejected Cui Li's suggestion.

"But can we just wait here stupidly and watch the enemy army attack the city wantonly? Cheng Yin, don't forget, although Xia Cheng is full of archers on the city walls, it only has 2,000 troops as you just said. This can only play a certain deterrent effect, and cannot repel the enemy's offensive, if Yiling Pass is once attacked, what use are our defenders? Cui Li asked puzzled.

The soldiers of the enemy army were surging towards our army, and the general Zhou Tai, who led the army, waved the blade in his hand and shouted wantonly in front of Yiling Pass: "This general Zhou Tai is here, who is coming to meet him?" ”

Xia Cheng on the city wall glared at the enemy general, and he knew very well that it was impossible for our army to send troops to meet him. However, the arrogance of the enemy generals was very arrogant.

"In the past, there were many famous generals in your Shu army, and you were known as the Five Tigers, but now why no one has the courage to fight with this general? Don't you have a general in Shu? Hahaha~" Zhou Tai laughed loudly.

Wu Ban, who was beside Xia Cheng, scolded angrily: "What are you waiting for? If it weren't for you Dongwu tearing up the covenant and damaging my two generals, you would be able to shout wantonly here! ”

Xia Cheng immediately stopped Wu Ban: "General Wu doesn't need to say much to him, if he can't capture my Yiling Pass today, no matter how much talk he has, it's just useless." We don't have to deal with these people. ”

Xia Cheng stabilized Wu Ban's mood, and Zhou Tai in front of Yiling Pass shouted angrily: "Okay, you are a child, and you don't know that you dare to talk nonsense here with too many young soldiers!" The boss said that if you take Yiling Pass today, then he will keep his promise. Even if you can't defend the pass, how can you stop my army of Eastern Wu? ”

Zhou Tai's momentum was very strong, and he refused to back down at all: "Since this is the case, if you don't want to fight, then it's up to me to end this battle!" ”

I saw Zhou Tai signaling his soldiers to start attacking Yiling Pass.

At this moment, I found that there were almost only a hundred of the 2,000 soldiers on the city wall, and the rest seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and it seemed that Xia Cheng was planning a new plan.

Zhou Tai's soldiers began to attack the city wall of Yiling Pass, and once they climbed the city wall, the outcome of the battle was basically decided.

"Cheng Yin, no matter what you come up with, but the current situation is too critical, the archers on the city wall can't attack at all, and the enemy's 10,000 soldiers will soon reach the city wall, once they climb the city wall of Yiling Pass, then our defeat is certain. So, what are you waiting for? We still have a chance to rush out now, it's better than staying here and being wiped out by the enemy! ”

I looked at Zhou Tai's 10,000 soldiers, who had already begun to prepare the ropes. Apparently their siege plan was going extremely well.

I looked at Xia Cheng on the city wall again, and his face did not show the slightest panic, but quietly watched as the enemy soldiers climbed the ropes one by one towards the top of the city wall.

"What the hell do you think Xia Cheng is thinking? Although the walls of Yiling Pass are towering, they are not necessarily impassable. Once the enemy army climbs up, the situation becomes very serious. Zhao Yuyu said with a sad face.

In fact, Zhao Yuyu is not the only one who is worried, everyone present is very nervous. Seeing that the enemy army had already climbed halfway, it would not take long to reach the city wall of Yiling Pass. Could it be that Xia Cheng wanted to emulate the empty city plan set up by Zhuge Kongming back then? But it is obvious that Lu Xun of Soochow in front of him is not Sima Yi of Cao Wei, and this strategy may not succeed, and once it fails, it will lose everything.

What the hell is Xia Cheng planning? My heart was full of doubts.

The situation in front of me is very critical, but what makes me very strange is not Xia Cheng's calmness, but Lu Xun did not send additional troops to assist Zhou Tai in the face of such a favorable situation, and all doubts are waiting for the final moment to be revealed.

Suddenly, the walls of Yiling Pass moved, and a sharp blade stretched out from the gap after the move, cutting the ropes of the enemy army.

Soon, the Soochow soldiers, who were about to achieve victory, fell under the city walls one after another.

"Trap! It's the mechanism of the city wall! Cui Li exclaimed.

Now I understand why the 2,000 soldiers who had been on the walls suddenly disappeared. When Xia Cheng asked Zhang Han and me to assemble troops, he must have found out the location of the city wall organs. This time, the city wall that had once blocked the attack of our army became the biggest barrier of our army.

Zhou Tai saw that the soldiers in front of him fell to the ground one after another and suffered heavy losses, so he could only lead the army to retreat to the camp of Eastern Wu.

In this round of the contest, Xia Cheng won a complete victory, and repelled Zhou Tai's 10,000-strong army without a single soldier.

But it was obvious that Lu Xun didn't feel shocked, how could he not think that he was so familiar with Yiling Pass that we had already found the mechanism for the city wall to move, so he didn't send troops to assist Zhou Tai in attacking together, but just watched the changes in the battle situation from afar.

If I'm not mistaken, this time Zhou Tai led the army to come just Lu Xun throwing stones to ask for directions. The first is to see if our army has the possibility of taking the initiative to attack, and the second is to find out whether we have found the mechanism in the city. Although they have failed, it seems to them that they have already obtained both answers. This battle is not only about the strength of the two sides, but also about the resourcefulness of the commanders of both sides.

I looked at the sky in the distance, this battle situation is ever-changing, and whoever can find that slightest opportunity in this complicated battle situation can dominate this battle situation.
