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

(Text)

Seeing that the soldiers had assembled in front of the formation gate, Zhang Han, who was not far away, also led his army to come, and the two armies gathered here like the flowing water of the mountains and rivers and the streams beside the fields converged into the endless sea.

For us, the only way forward is to move forward, just as it is impossible for a river to flow backwards, and there is no room for retreat.

"Zhang Han, now that we have brought our respective troops to the front gate and assembled, the rest is the final decisive battle. Have you seen Summer City coming? I asked Zhang Han.

"It doesn't seem to be. I led the army all the way here, and I didn't see Xia Cheng on the way, and he asked the two of us to lead our respective troops to assemble here, and I don't know what his next plan is. ”

"I don't know, but since he has a reason for us to assemble troops here, as for what tactics he formulates to fight the enemy in a decisive battle, we will wait and see." Just as Zhang Han and I were discussing countermeasures, Xia Cheng walked towards us from a distance.

"Xia Cheng, how should we attack next?"

Xia Cheng looked at the army we had gathered and said, "Since we want to take it by surprise, we must first convince them that we will not take the initiative to attack but desperately defend Yiling Pass, only then will they be loose and unguarded, which will also create an opportunity for us." Xia Cheng said.

"But, how do we make them think we're only going to defend and not attack?" Zhang Han asked.

Zhang Han's question is indeed not wrong, although we have planned to take the initiative to launch an attack to catch the other party off guard, but how smart is Lu Xun? Our army will inevitably open the main gate of Yiling Pass when it launches an attack, but once the main gate is opened, the enemy army will soon realize that our army is about to attack, and with Lu Xun's command ability, I believe that we will soon be able to put the team into a state of confrontation, and at that time our attack will become useless, and it will not have the effect of attacking it unprepared and unexpected, so we must make a plan.

There must be no trace of this attack, and the key to all of this is when the main door opens. Looking at Xia Chengcheng's fixed expression, it was obvious that he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"That's right, we can't rush to open the main gate and attack, we must let the enemy neglect his defenses. Do you still remember the empty city plan played by Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? There are words in Xia Cheng's words, when Sima Yi led a large army to attack the city guarded by Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang had transferred the army stationed in the city to other places before, and there was no army in the city to stop Sima Yi's army, so at such a critical moment, Zhuge Liang did not rashly attack against Sima Yi's army surging towards him, but sat on the city wall leisurely Fuqin, only two boys stood beside him, and from a distance, he couldn't see a soldier in armor, Although Sima Yi also knew in advance that there were no defenders in Zhuge Liang's city, he was also suspicious when he saw this scene with his own eyes, so the key to the battle often did not depend on the situation of the troops of both sides, but how to maximize the effect of his own troops, which was the way to win. Zhuge Liang relied on himself and the two boys to make Sima Yi think that there were tens of thousands of troops stationed in the city, and maybe we could follow suit this time.

"Xia Cheng, what do you mean...... On the other hand, Zhuge Liang's empty city plan was used to deliberately create the illusion that the army was tired of guarding Yiling Pass, so as to make the enemy relax its defenses. However, there is also a key point that the main door must be opened at the right time, otherwise it will just fall short. Zhang Han carefully analyzed the current situation.

"Zhang Han, you're right, I've already thought of a way to do this, and when the time comes, once the two of you see the city gate open, you will quickly lead the army to rush out of Yiling Pass, and try every means to get close to the enemy army and restrain them." Xia Cheng said.

Xia Cheng looked confident, and it was clear that he had already figured out how to win this battle.

"Xia Cheng, I believe in you." I looked at Xia Cheng, and a sense of trust came over me like never before. This trust also depends on the countless efforts he has put into our research group before.

"Cheng Yin, I need you to mobilize the two thousand soldiers of your department." Xia Cheng said.

I clicked on the head and said to General Wu behind me, "You quickly mobilize two thousand soldiers and horses to obey the command of Xia Cheng." ”

General Wu held the blade in his hand and said, "The last general has the order." ”

Soon the two thousand soldiers followed Xia Cheng towards the city wall.

Zhang Han didn't care about putting on his cool headphones again, and there was a singing voice that I am familiar with inside:

"Thousands of years have passed, and I have never forgotten each other's vows..."

"The years have passed in a hurry, but you are still looking at me, and you have not forgotten our tomorrow..."

"When I remember, when you forget. The memory of this fate. ”

"I still remember our vows, memories that will never be forgotten."

"Standing quietly in the place where you have forgotten, watching the seasons change, I am thinking about you again at this time."

It was like a change of fate that brought us different people to the same battlefield.

Not long after Xia Cheng left, Cui Li, Professor Wu, and Zhao Yuyu also came to our side.

"I said Cheng Yin, what did the gods in front of Xia Cheng mysteriously say to you, did you formulate any tactics?" Cui Li asked curiously.

"The tactics that Xia Cheng told us are nothing new, just let us wait here, and once the formation gate is opened, we can just rush into the enemy camp." I may seem to be understatement, but that's exactly what it is.

"It's that simple, huh? I thought you had some earth-shattering tactics. It seems that the outcome of this battle is already obvious, how can we defeat the enemy's army with such a meager force? Zhao Yuyu said discouragedly.

"Cheng Yin, you're not kidding, are you? Is this a tactic? Do you want a headache? Maybe it could be better than Xia Cheng thought? Cui Li didn't seem to believe in Xia Cheng's tactics.

"Cui Li, what are you talking about, the tactics formulated by Xia Cheng must have his reason, we should believe it, not question it. Besides, I don't always think of a good solution after a headache. I seem to have a feeling that the game I'm facing is getting more and more complicated every time, and it's hard to guess......" I said as if talking to myself.

"Chess? What chess game? Can you see the chess game when you have a headache? Cui Li became curious again.

"Nothing...... It's better for us to care about the current situation. "I looked at the army in front of me. In addition to the 30,000 troops brought by Zhang Han, after the 2,000 soldiers of our army were also transferred by Xia Cheng, there were less than 3,000 people left. And then it was these 3,000 people who have followed me to fight on the battlefield since Liu Xuande gave us the army token, until now. The spirit of some of them, who were seriously wounded, still came to fight, is admirable.

"Cheng Yin, why didn't you see Xia Cheng? Isn't he with you? Professor Wu asked.

"Xia Cheng mobilized 2,000 soldiers to the city wall, presumably to carry out his plan. We just have to stay here and wait and see what he planned. I said.

"What else can be done now? I think it's just stubborn resistance, and in the end, none of us can get out of here. With such a huge disparity in troops, no matter what strategy it is, it is useless. Zhao Yuyu said dejectedly.

"It's not as hopeless as you said, after all, Xia Cheng hasn't given up and is still working for us, we have to trust him." I said.

"Trust him? Do you know how hard Lin Yun's incident hit him? Do you still believe that he can be full of reason to take us people out of the 'strange array'? Zhao Yuyu's face was full of disdain.

Lin Yun's matter was a big blow to each of us, but it was even heavier for Xia Cheng. But I still believe in Xia Cheng, and I believe that he can take us out of this 'strange array'.

"Xia Cheng is stronger than all of us imagined, and I will choose to believe him no matter what." I said.

"I think you're all crazy, it's already good to be able to defend this Yiling Pass, but you still want to attack? It's just a mantis arm as a car, and I can't measure my strength. Zhao Yuyu's words were full of words
