Chapter 54: The Art of Sacrifice
The high places are indeed a good place, and although both fools and smokers like to run to the high places, at least, if the means are good enough, the people in the high places can make the people in the lower places drink some kind of excrement that they pull out, and vice versa, the people in the lower places can't do this to the people in the higher places.
Saying this, Chen Yu suddenly remembered that in ancient times, when people defended the city, why did they have to throw stones from the city wall, instead of pouring dung and peeing or something......
Historically, Princess Pingyang, the third daughter of Tang Taizu, poured the boiled rice soup into the ravine in front of the checkpoint, so that the enemy saw a large amount of rice soup flowing out, thinking it was poured horse urine, and then saw the banner on the city tower, the soldiers and civilians shouted to the sky, and the war drums were beating, so she misjudged that the reinforcements had arrived, and because she was afraid of being ambushed, the enemy with several times the strength finally retreated without a fight, and Princess Pingyang became famous - but in turn, she used horse urine to pretend to be rice soup...... Ahem...... No one has tried it yet.
But that's all off topic.
Ma Tan's attack on the Wei army ended in failure quickly, without any suspense, as he should be able to feel now, he is neither a soldier Han Xian, nor the overlord Xiang Yu, as an ordinary historical figure, the biggest difference between him and the two is not only in intelligence or force caste, but also in the fact that he has no ex-skills.
If Xiang Yu is replaced here and roars angrily, then the situation is likely to be different.
But that's just if.
When Ma Tan returned to the camp on the mountainside with the remnants of the army, the Wei army also began to surround the mountain. Encircling but not fighting, this is the best policy, the Shu army has tens of thousands of people, forcibly rush up the mountain to attack, the mountains are not convenient for the Wei army to carry out a large army decisive battle, not to mention, Shu in the "forest war" and "mountain war", obviously much stronger than the Wei State, after all, people are running over in the mountains and forests of Bashu, digging traps, shooting cold arrows or something, one hit a quasi, more than ten years ago even with Zhuge Liang's famous Pang Tong was lost under the arrows of the Shu army, plus the commander of the Shu army Zhuge Liang has always been setting traps, The ambush pit people have a specialty in this aspect, so it can be imagined how much the Wei army will have to pay if they really want to attack.
So it's not good to attack directly, at least, it's not the time to attack at present, as long as the water source is cut off, after a while, the Shu army finds that it can't cook, as long as a few small soldiers take the lead in coaxing, they will soon infect each other, and they don't have to attack themselves, the other party will directly mess up the whole army, and then act by themselves at that time, and get twice the result with half the effort.
Sima Yi, the governor of the Wei army, played his abacus very well. To be honest, when the first shock organized by Ma Tan was declared a failure, the victory or defeat of the Wei and Shu armies in Jieting was basically a foregone conclusion, and the Shu army had been trapped to a desperate situation, and the next thing was actually only the price at which the Wei army gnawed away this group of surrounded enemy troops, and everything was already in Sima Yi's control.
But at this time, a sentry ran over in a panic to report a news, which made Sima Yi almost fall off the chair directly-
"Report! Report to the Governor! Mountainside ...... It's raining on the mountainside! ”
"What?"
When I hurriedly walked out of the camp tent and looked at the Shu military camp on the mountainside from the sentry tower, I saw that the mountainside was indeed "stormy and shaky" at this time.
And the most peculiar thing is that only the sky above the Shu military camp on the mountainside is raining, and there are very clear sunny days on the top of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain......
It's not scientific!
Sima Yi rubbed his eyes.
But he soon discovered that what he was seeing was a fact, not an illusion.
"Governor, this ...... This ......"
The soldiers around him were in disbelief.
“……”
Sima Yi let out a long sigh.
"I heard that Zhuge Liang has the method of seizing heaven and earth, and the unpredictable power of ghosts and gods, and he sees the sky and says, sacrifices to the rain and prays for the wind - I thought he was the only one like this, but he could even learn this method even if he was a little bit ......"
"This ...... Is this Zhuge Liang's method? When he heard this, he was shocked.
"Since this method is there, it ......is difficult to take the street pavilion - it is difficult" Sima Yi did not answer to join the army, raised his head to look at the sky, and let out a long sigh.
The news of "it is raining on the mountainside" spread quickly, the Wei army stretched their necks to look at the mountainside, Sima Yi couldn't stop it, so he had to order the whole army to prepare to attack the mountain, after all, even if the way of breaking the water and the way of fire attack could not take effect because of the other party's prayer for rain, in terms of troops, the Wei army still had a clear advantage, but it might cost several times more to attack it.
"Ding!"
"System Prompt: You have triggered a special plot - [Forcing the Enemy to Attack]."
"Wow! Your Heroic Spirit Zhen Ji actually prays for rain?! On the mountainside, the plum blossom chased after Chen Yu in surprise and said loudly.
"Sort of......" Chen Yu turned his face to the side and said stupidly.
"But my friend's Zhen Ji can't do this trick even after she's level 20!!" Plum Blossom Road.
"This ......" the corners of Chen Yu's mouth twitched, "Maybe your friend is too stupid......"
"What ?!!"
Plum blossom was speechless.
And Chen Yu is actually also very cruel.
A few minutes ago, just when he dug the pit and ordered Zhen Ji to start "releasing water", a message suddenly came from the system-
"Hint: Your Heroic Spirit [Zhen Ji]'s skill [Luoshen-Luoshui Summoned] has an obvious conflict with the historical environment corresponding to the current dungeon, and cannot be used normally."
"What?" When Chen Yu received the news, he almost yelled out.
The so-called "obvious conflict with the historical environment" probably refers to the fact that in this historical environment, a person will suddenly summon a column of water from the ground to solve everyone's drinking water problem, which seems to be too abrupt. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few decades ago, Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, was rumored to have all kinds of Taoist techniques, summoning ghosts, pillars of fire or earth springs or something that was just pediatrics, so it was completely acceptable to the ancients to understand all the incredible abilities such as summoning as Taoist arts, and the ancients were very receptive to ghosts and gods, so everything was fine - but the problem was that using the summoned water as drinking water would ......
Nongfu Spring, a little sweet?
The system told Chen Yu that your approach is a bit out of place with the current scene, and slightly beyond the ability of people in the current era to accept.
Receiving this news, Chen Yu's heart suddenly sank.
All his plans are based on the premise that Zhen Ji can "release water", if Zhen Ji is not allowed to release water, then even if he is an iron sheet and has Bao Xi, the ** division, it will be difficult to reverse the situation of defeat, so you can imagine how shocked he was when he received the news.
You don't have such a trick in the system, and you will tell me when it's over!!
"Hint: Your Heroic Spirit [Zhen Ji]'s skill [Luo Shen - Luo Shui Summoned] has been temporarily changed to the Sacrificial Technique, and the Earth Surge Effect has been changed to the Sky Falling Effect."
Chen Yu: "......"
Nima, I've been tricked!
Don't stop halfway through talking, and then take a long time to say the second half!
The "Heavenly Falling Effect" is indeed very close to the acceptability of people in this era, after all, it is rumored that Zhuge Liang did something similar more than ten years ago, and the precipitation from the sky is much more considerable on the scene than the water gushing out from the ground, so this temporary change for Chen Yu, in addition to making Zhen Ji's only attack skill also lose the attack effect, there is no doubt that he earned it. It's just that, even so, Chen Yu still has palpitations now.
This is the legendary "fear"!
Fortunately, it's just a change of form, not a direct ban.
It seems that in the future, there will be an additional consideration to be added to this reversal copy - a temporary change in the system.
