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

Just as I was confused, another man in a dark cloak appeared on the cliff, and I couldn't see his appearance. But this person's figure is so familiar to me, but I can't remember it. Who is this man?

Our mountain-attacking machinery was almost completely destroyed, and Lu Xun on the cliff still looked calm, without the slightest joy of victory. The man in the cloak stared at everything in front of him, so I couldn't see his expression, but I could clearly sense the hostility of the man.

"General Cheng!! The weapons of the mountain are destroyed!! What can I do about it? Wu Ban yelled.

Decisions on the battlefield are often made in a split second, and the slightest mistake can be a thousand miles. My decision is related to the trend of the whole battle, and now all the attacking machinery is immobile. And the enemy's flint still has no intention of stopping, and the soldiers can only rely on the tiger shield to avoid the attack of the stones, and it is almost impossible to want to force the king.

"The whole army retreated!! Remove!!! "I glared at the man in cloak on the cliff, if it weren't for his appearance, Lu Xun would definitely fight us. But now the battle has been decided, and our army has been defeated. It seems that Lu Xun's prestige in the army will definitely increase greatly after that. It was even more difficult to break his insistence.

Who is this cloaked man? If he also knows how to make machinery, he must not be a person of this era. Rather, like us, they came to this strange array. But since it's the same as us, why stop us from unlocking the Strange Array? The problem has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and I don't have time to think about the reasons for it. We are now unable to parry the enemy's flints, and our officers and men have suffered heavy losses and must be evacuated as soon as possible.

"Removal !!" I yelled.

"Cheng Yin, you should leave quickly! This flint is ruthless! Professor Wu shouted to me from a long distance.

"General Wu, leave quickly!" I saw that there was a huge flint stone in front of me rushing towards General Wu Ban, and I hurriedly picked up the tiger shield dropped by the soldiers on the ground and blocked it in front of General Wu. The boulder hit the tiger shield and bounced off, and I didn't feel any impact, but suddenly I felt a sharp pain. Sure enough, the impact of the boulder caused me a certain amount of pain, just like I had been slashed by the Sword of Nothingness before, but this time the pain was even more unforgettable, and I almost fell to the ground, and I knew that if I were hit like that again, I would probably really fall here.

"General Cheng! Become a general! "All I heard was Wu Ban shouting around me.

I used the last of my strength to stand up and slowly walked in the direction of Professor Wu and them, huge flints kept falling beside me, but fortunately they didn't hit me again.

"Cheng Yin, how are you? Where did it hurt? Lin Yun asked with concern.

"Isn't this a projection? Why can it really hurt us? This... How can it be? Professor Twilight looked at me in disbelief.

"I ...... We also ...... Or is it fast...... Hurry up and get out of this ...... Here's it. "Hu Zaide usually seems to have inconvenient legs and feet, but he is still very flexible when it is critical.

"Let's go, let's go back to the camp." I was a little better, and looked back at the cliff opposite, but only Lu Xun and the two generals beside him, the mysterious man wearing the cloak, were nowhere to be found.

After returning to the camp with the rest of the sergeants, we came to the tent.

"Cheng Yin, can you see a mysterious person wearing a cloak on the cliff opposite?" Zhang Han's expression was serious.

"Mysterious people? Is it friend or foe? "Professor Twie's question seems redundant.

"Well, I think it was this person who proposed to Lu Xun to build a catapult similar to ours that caused our army to be defeated." My eyes were filled with anger.

"Damn, who the hell is it? Why stop us from unlocking the odd array. Professor Twilight was furious, too.

"Look at this person's figure, I look a little familiar, I may have seen it somewhere..."I tried to think for a while, but there was still no result.

"Cheng Yin, have you seen this person? In addition to a few of us who entered this strange array, only Li Ruina, Zhang Xinran, Zhao Haoyu and Cui Li were left unfounded. Lin Yun said.

"There's one more person." Zhang Han's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Xia Cheng ...... hesitated as soon as I said it, it couldn't be him..., but among those people before, he was the only one who could design the design of the catapult machine, and the calculation score was not bad.

"No, it won't be from Xia Cheng." Lin Yun immediately denied our conjecture. "Have you forgotten? Xia Cheng had worked so hard in the previous battle of the three generals, how could it be possible to stop us from unlocking the odd formation now? ”

Lin Yun was right, I don't believe that it was Xia Cheng who stopped us.

"Yes...... But he's so smart...... Clever people are ...... Why didn't it ......? Shu ...... not found The camp of the Shu army is now ...... And now I'm ...... Where are you? Hu Zaide's words were like adding insult to injury. All the fingers were pointed at Xia Cheng.

"Lin Yun, we understand your feelings, but now none of us can be sure who the person in the cloak is? Even Xia Cheng may not be able to. Professor Twilight also seemed to think that the man in the cloak was Xia Cheng.

"No!! No way!!! Lin Yun was a little excited.

"I don't think it's Xia Cheng... He worked so hard to solve the problems that he had before, and we have seen it with our own eyes. "I'm on Lin Yun's side.

"Whoever the cloak is, we'll take a long-term view." Professor Wu remained neutral.

………

………

While we were arguing about the identity of the cloaked man, General Wu Ban walked into the military tent with a solemn face.

"General Wu, why are you worried, what is the matter?" I asked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has learned of the defeat of our army, and he has sent a letter to bring an army to conquer in person." Every word General Wu Ban said was like a giant thunder.

I once persuaded Liu Bei to let me lead my troops to attack Eastern Wu, which changed the course of the Battle of Yiling, but now Liu Bei is driving the expedition in person, and this curve of time has returned to its original position, and the previous efforts will be in vain.

If it weren't for the mysterious man on the cliff, we would have broken through Lu Xun's insistence and returned triumphantly, but now Liu Bei must have been very angry when he heard of the defeat, which undoubtedly accelerated the original process of the Battle of Yiling. I looked at the letter in General Wu Ban's hand, and the sorrow in my heart was indescribable, only one thing we could defeat Lu Xun, just one point...

However, as I said before, the slightest mistake in the field of war is a thousand miles.
