"Cheng Yin, is that really the case?" Arthur asked.

I didn't answer but nodded, I was afraid that too many words would only cause them to worry too much.

"I didn't expect the battle situation ahead to change so quickly, and the enemy army launched an attack so quickly, almost giving us a chance to breathe. It seems that this battle commanded by Xia Cheng was not so easy. Li Ruina said with emotion.

"Cheng Yin, since the battle situation ahead is as critical as you said, you better return to the battlefield immediately, I think you are more needed there, you can rest assured of the situation here, no one can activate this mechanism without Xia Cheng's order." Li Ruina's words were obviously for Zhao Yuyu.

Indeed, as Li Ruina said, there seems to be nothing to worry about here.

"Then I'll leave it to you here." I was about to turn around and leave here, but Zhao Yuyu walked in front of me.

"Since I can't activate this mechanism, it's not interesting for me to stay here, so why don't I go to the front line and see if Xia Cheng can turn the tide of the battle as you say." In this way, Zhao Miyu and I returned to the front of the gate again.

When we returned to Zhang Han and their formation, the battle situation in front of us had become very tense. The two lines of troops and horses of Soochow kept approaching the walls of our army, and at the same time covered those siege machines behind the army.

Although the speed of the siege machinery was quite slow, in the time that we were back and forth, the siege machinery had already reached the city wall and was ready for battle.

"Cheng Yin, it seems that you have stopped Zhao Haoyu. However, in the time that you are leaving, the enemy army has advanced faster, and as you can see, the siege machinery has begun to prepare for an attack on Yiling Pass. Cui Li said anxiously.

But even so, Xia Cheng on the city wall still didn't react, just quietly watched the changes in the battle situation in front of him.

"Look, what am I talking about, this is the Xia Cheng you have always believed in, I think he was stupid by the enemy, right? In this way, you can also dominate the overall situation, and I think only you will believe it. Zhao Yuyu said coldly.

Indeed, we are now facing a great challenge, and if the siege machinery attacks, our walls will be lost. I looked at Xia Cheng on the city wall, what was he thinking? Could it be that he had really given up on this battle as Zhao Yuyu said? No...... No way, the Xia Cheng I know will never be like this, he works harder than any of us.

Xia Cheng's face was solemn, staring at the battle situation in front of him, he seemed to be thinking about something, but he seemed to be waiting for something. Time always passes quickly, and the enemy siege machines are already in position.

The order to siege the city was only issued for a moment, but it was not something that could be completed in an instant from the top of the walls of Yiling Pass to Arthur's mechanism. What the hell is Xia Cheng waiting for?

My expression looked calm, but my heart was very anxious.

"Attack !!"

Ling Tong on the "Arrow Platform" gave the order to attack. Under his order, all the siege machinery launched an attack on the city wall of Yiling Pass, and the city wall of Yiling Pass was in flames in an instant.

"Cheng Yin, the Wu army has finally launched a general attack on our army, and the enemy's attack will soon allow them to capture this Yiling Pass, and we can only stand here and watch all this happen but are powerless."

The enemy's attack caused serious damage to the walls of Yiling Pass, and huge rocks fell from the walls of Yiling Pass and fell to the ground.

"But now the only thing that can stop the enemy army is Xia Cheng on the city wall, but what ability can you see him have to stop the enemy army now?" Zhao Yuyu said mockingly.

What was happening in front of me seemed to be exactly what she said, but I didn't think so, no matter what, even if I had questioned it for a moment, I still believed that Xia Cheng could win this war.

"Zhao Yuyu, I said that we should believe in Xia Cheng." I looked directly at Zhao Yuyu with both eyes.

The enemy's attacks did not stop, but became more and more fierce, as if they wanted to raze this Yiling Pass to the ground.

At this moment, Xia Cheng suddenly turned around and walked quickly down the wall of Yiling Pass.

"Look! Xia Cheng has escaped! Let me say it! You still don't believe it! Zhao Yuyu pointed to Xia Cheng in the distance and continued: "It's better to rush out of Yiling Pass now, it's better than waiting for destruction!" ”

"Zhao Miyu, what do you say? How could Xia Cheng escape? Maybe he's going to activate the mechanism. I glanced at Xia Cheng in the distance and retorted.

"Activate the mechanism? Don't be kidding, Xia Cheng wants to activate the mechanism and send a soldier to it, can't you? Cheng Yin, did you tell me that in the wars in history, which general would retreat from the battle to command the 'logistics'? Zhao Yuyu said with a sneer.

"Then you mean that Xia Cheng gave up this battle?" Cui Li asked incredulously.

"You're only now realizing it, I'm afraid it's no longer possible. Now only Xia Cheng had the chess piece to activate the mechanism, and if he retreated from the battle, no one would be able to turn the tide again. What's more, you look at the current Yiling Pass......" Zhao Miyu's eyes looked at the city wall of Yiling Pass, and the stones on the city wall kept rolling down, just as Zhao Miyu said, the city wall of Yiling Pass in front of us was already in a precarious state.

It seemed that any slight attack would cause it to collapse in an instant, but the enemy's attack did not stop, but intensified. The unturnable tide of the battle will lead us to be defeated by the enemy.

"Cheng Yin, Xia Cheng won't really escape, right?" Cui Li also seemed to be suspicious of Xia Cheng.

"How is that possible...... How could Xia Cheng escape from the battle. "I quickly interrupted Cui Li's nonsense, but the strange thing is that if you calculate the time, Xia Cheng should have already arrived at the location of the mechanism, but why hasn't the mechanism been activated yet, and the enemy's siege machinery is still attacking, what is Xia Cheng doing?

Zhang Han didn't seem to be involved in our this time, no matter what kind of attack the enemy launched, his eyes always looked at the outside of Yiling Pass, he didn't seem to be worried that Xia Cheng had retreated, but he was concerned about when the door of Yiling Pass in front of him would open for us.

"I said Zhang Han, did you hear what Zhao Yuyu said, why do you always look like you don't care about yourself? Doesn't the destruction of this 'strange array' have nothing to do with you? Don't forget, if we can't get out of this 'odd array', we will be trapped in this 'odd array' forever. Of course, that includes you. Obviously, Cui Li was a little annoyed by Zhang Han's indifferent look.

Zhang Han turned his head and looked at Cui Li with reproachful eyes and said, "Rather than having time to think about whether Xia Cheng will escape from the battle, it is more worthwhile to spend time on how to deal with the enemy's attack." ”

"Zhang Han, what do you mean? I guess you're the only one here who cares least about this fight, right? You've always gone your own way and never considered the feelings of the people around you, but now it's better to put on a high-minded attitude, who do you think you are? Cui Li's eyes were full of anger.

"Cui Li, now is not the time for us to accuse each other, although Zhang Han seems to be indifferent to everything, but in fact he also cares about our team very much. Don't forget, during the mystery of the Wall of Light, it was Zhang Han's guidance that allowed me to solve the mystery. My words softened the nervous anger I had just had.

Cui Li didn't say anything more, but his face was still full of unhappiness.

While we were reproaching each other, the enemy's two-way troops suddenly attacked our walls under the attack of siege machinery. Reinforced ropes were attached to the top of the wall, and the enemy soldiers once again began to try to climb the walls of Yiling Pass. But just when they thought that they would never miss a moment when they had siege machinery to cover them, the wall of Yiling Pass actually moved again, and the outstretched blade cut the rope again.

The two enemy soldiers had no way to climb the wall of Yiling Pass, so they could only look at the towering city wall and sigh.

However, at this time, Ling Tong commanded the "Arrow Tower" to attack the moving Yiling Pass city wall, and the enemy's bow and arrow passed through the gap in the Yiling Pass city wall and shot at our soldiers behind the city wall. Although our army successfully blocked the attack of the Wu army, it also paid heavy losses. The 2,000 soldiers I sent to General Wu Ban suffered heavy casualties in this round of attacks. Obviously, Soochow has seen through the methods of our army's attack, and the moving Yiling Pass will not be able to stop their advance again.

"You see, the last line of defense set up by Xia Cheng has also been lost, and without these two thousand soldiers, you will not move the rest of your troops, so for the Wu army, Yiling Pass at this time is probably an empty city. There is no one left to stop the army of Soochow, and soon you will know the bitter consequences of defeat. "Zhao Yuyu has already decided that we are bound to fail.

"Cheng Yin, isn't there any other way to activate that mechanism again?" Cui Li asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid there is no other way to activate that mechanism except the chess piece in Xia Cheng's hand. I wanted to do something, but I couldn't help it. ”

"Cheng Yin, didn't you personally hand over this chess piece to Arthur? But why did Xia Cheng take it again? I don't know where he is now? What are we going to do......"

At such a difficult moment, Cui Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "I know, in fact, the Xia City we saw is not the real Xia City......

I couldn't listen to it anymore before Cui Li finished speaking, "Cui Li, what nonsense are you talking about, what Xia Cheng is not Xia Cheng, he is not Xia Cheng, so who is Xia Cheng?" ”

"No, haven't you forgotten? Isn't that 'mysterious person' able to transform into someone else's appearance? If the Xia Cheng standing on the city wall is a 'mysterious person', then all this can be explained? Doesn't it tell us that he deliberately took the piece you gave Arthur, and then left the walls of Yiling Pass at the height of the battle? In fact, Xia Cheng is a 'mysterious man'! ”

If it were a normal time, I would definitely be amazed by Cui Li's reasoning, not to mention whether he said it was true or not, just looking at his expression, it seemed like this was the case.

"Cui Li, everyone is already very nervous, so don't make any more trouble. If Xia Cheng was really a mysterious person, then he must have known the chess pieces needed to activate this mechanism, so why wait until we found the chess piece to design and take it away, isn't it redundant? "I used a very simple reason to refute the reasoning that Cui Li had conceived.

"Okay, okay, you're right. But I really don't understand, where did this summer city go? He is what he needs most now, but he doesn't know where he has gone in a blink of an eye, and he has taken the most important chess piece, I really don't know what he is thinking. Cui Li complained.

At this time, Xia Cheng chose to leave, so what was his real intention? I was also in deep doubt. The mystery in front of me is like a gate in front of me at this time, and it cannot be opened.

"Wait ......" I said this word for a long time, no matter what we do now, it will be useless, since this is why not wait for the moment when the gate of the array is opened, as Xia Cheng said.

"That's all we can do, and there's nothing we can do about it now." Cui Li can only accept the reality in front of him and look forward to a miracle that can appear in front of us.

Although the enemy's two-way soldiers were heavily injured by our army when they climbed the city wall of Yiling Pass, the siege machinery was indeed unscathed and kept attacking our army's Yiling Pass, but at this time the city wall of Yiling Pass was empty, there was neither a soldier defending the city nor a commander defending the city, it was as empty as a classroom after class, leaving only the city wall of Yiling Pass in front of us quietly bearing the fierce attack of the enemy.

From time to time, stones rolled down the city walls, and Yiling Pass was already scarred, but we could only watch the battle unfold in front of us like bystanders, but we could not participate in it.

"I really don't understand, why do you believe in Xia Cheng so much? You see that this Yiling Pass has been damaged into this appearance, I really don't know how long it will last. And the Xia Cheng you believe in doesn't know where he is, and I said that it is better to rush out and fight the enemy than here. Zhao Yuyu said.

Maybe I don't know where Xia Cheng is at this time, but I believe that he will definitely stand by our side and fight side by side with us at the most critical moment.
