Chapter 218: Tricked Again
Now Beishan Weiyu had already arrived in front of this fortress with his army, but the scene in front of him made him feel a headache. Almost every tower here has a mage or archer standing on top of it, which means that if you get close to it, you will be attacked.
And what made him most uncomfortable was that there was a layer of protection on the outside of this fortress, yes, these were the puppeteers of the puppeteer. These golems are not afraid of pain at all, and although they are not very lethal, they are able to hold an army in one place for a long time.
It's not clear how long it will be, but no matter how long it will be, it will definitely be General Kitayama's team. After all, the puppet can still be repaired if it is broken, but the soldier cannot be reborn when he dies, which means that Zhao Yulong's army can consume them infinitely.
And even if they beat all these puppets together to the point where they can't be repaired, they lose money. Because at that time, their soldiers must not have much physical strength, and when the tactics on Zhao Yulong's side or the assassins are still full of energy, how can this battle be fought?
But fortunately for General Kitayama, the fortunate thing is that these deployments have not been very long, so these soldiers naturally have not yet adapted. This means that attacking these soldiers may be a bit scrambling now, and then they still have a chance to win.
Therefore, today's action is urgent, it must be fast, and it must be urgent to act before Zhao Yulong discovers them. After all, they had fallen for Zhao Yulong, so they naturally knew that Zhao Yulong's yin tricks were unguardable.
Now he is planning to strike first, taking advantage of Zhao Yulong's fact that he has not yet discovered the destruction of his army, so that the entire battle situation can be reversed.
But how did they know that Zhao Yulong had already discovered their whereabouts when they were far away from here. So now it is natural to know that they are outside the tent, and they are ready to attack here.
And the reason why these soldiers looked a little uncomfortable was actually Zhao Yulong asked them to pretend, the purpose was to lure the enemy into the bait.
General Beishan was smart and thought that he had defeated Zhao Yulong, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Zhao Yulong's trap again, and he didn't realize it.
Now that he looked at the fortress, he concluded that the port to the west was the easiest to break through, because there were few watchtowers and were not very well defended.
So now he hurriedly led some people towards that place, although the shooters there found them, but how could just a few arrows kill how many people?
So soon General Kitayama had arrived here under the cover of a small army, and by the way, he also shot the soldiers on the guard tower here, but these soldiers were still not able to inform the other soldiers until they died.
However, General Kitayama found that all this was too smooth, and he only brought a team of a few hundred people to test the situation, but he did not want to be able to attack the outside of the fortress in this way.
What's more, the door here is too weak, and I didn't even use too much force to break it. But now that he is carried away by the victory, where does he go back and care about so many things, naturally he doesn't care about these things.
But when he entered it, he found that there were not many people inside, and when he was about to retreat, the door that came in was closed. Then a large crowd of soldiers rushed out of the surrounding tents and surrounded them.
Obviously, Zhao Yulong didn't intend to let them leave alive, so he directly asked Jing Rui and a few of them to step forward directly, and after these soldiers attacked together, they had no power to fight back, so that hundreds of people were quietly killed.
And now Zhao Yulong's purpose is not just to kill Beishan Weiyu, he has more important things. So now he directly cut off Beishan Weiyu's head, and then carried him to hang on the main gate of this fortress.
In this way, the army that was watching from the opposite side was frightened, and their general said that they would open the gate with a small group of men, and these soldiers praised the general for his bravery.
But now, when they saw the general's head hanging above the gate, they only felt a chill. Yes, Zhao Yulong is too terrifying, he easily killed a general like this, and the status of this general is not low.
At this time, there were more than 10,000 people in the entire team, but when the general died, the dragons were leaderless, so they naturally did not dare to come forward to attack.
But fortunately, in this team, Nalan still has some power to speak, so now he can still control these 10,000 people when he speaks.
It's just that even now, he didn't dare to call these 10,000 people to come forward to attack, after all, he had suffered no less than three times at the hands of Zhao Yulong, and he naturally knew Zhao Yulong's horror, and if he rushed forward, he would definitely hang on the door.
So he didn't give any order to attack, but ordered everyone to camp in place. It seems that he is planning to spend it with Zhao Yulong like this, which is indeed a good way.
Because Zhao Yulong's military rations were basically given up before, there was not much military rations at all. So naturally, it won't last a few days, and even if you add the food in this fortress, it's only ten days at most.
But what about ten days later? Could it be that they will only starve to death? Therefore, Nalan Fengxing's idea is indeed quite good, after all, their military rations are quite a lot! Now with Zhao Yulong's consumption, they will definitely be able to completely win.
And more importantly, Zhao Yulong can't escape with the army, after all, there are too few fortresses here, and once the army wants to leave, it will definitely be able to feel a little wind and grass. After all, how can a thousand people march without the slightest sound of footsteps?
And if Zhao Yulong escapes with his troops, as long as he is heard, he will definitely be discovered, and how can these thousands of people deal with tens of thousands of people?
Unless Zhao Yulong shows his strength, but once he shows it, it means that he is exposed, and it is needless to say what the consequences will be, it is naturally very clear. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Yulong to take risks, so this is indeed a very smart enemy.
So much so that now Jing Rui can feel worried: "They actually plan to besiege us like this, this is not good! We can't hold out for so long, and we will definitely lose when the time comes, damn why these enemies are so cunning!"
"Yes, I didn't expect that even such a sinister person has it, isn't this deliberately trying to starve us to death?" Hu Yun felt indignant when he said this, as if only he could use tactics, and others would not be good people if they used tactics.
But soon he had his thoughts: "Why don't we send a man who can run fast to ask for help, so that if we can hold out until the reinforcements arrive, we will be saved." ”
"Don't think about it, it's impossible. Zhao Yulong poured a basin of cold water on Hu Yun: "Not to mention other factors, the journey from here to the front line alone is a seven-day journey, and it takes seven days to go, so how can it take more time to come back with a team." And we can't wait for such a long time. ”
"What can I do then? I can't starve to death!"
"Who told us we'd be stuck here and starving? Zhao Yulong still looked like he was in danger, obviously he already had a way to overcome it in his heart, which made Hu Yun and them not expect.
"Awesome! Brother Long, you can think of a good idea so quickly, and it is really a foot high and a foot high! No, how can you say this, in short, Brother Long, tell me what kind of plan this is?" Obviously, hearing that Zhao Yulong already had an idea in his heart, Hu Yun was extremely curious, so he directly stepped forward to inquire.
"You want to know? Just don't tell me, and you'll understand when the time comes. Go and bring me dozens of horses, and get me dozens of drums, preferably as big as possible. ”
"Okay, can Brother Long tell me after he finishes this?" As soon as he heard that Zhao Yulong's request was so strange, Hu Yun also felt a burst of curiosity, so he hurriedly took action, of course, even when he was acting, he didn't forget to ask Zhao Yulong about the arrangement of this plan.
"I won't tell you this when I'm done, but you'll know when you do it. Zhao Yulong didn't seem to want to say it, but the more this happened, the more Huyun wanted to know.
And the more Hu Yun wanted to know, then he felt that his relationship with Zhao Yulong should be better, so now it was a little important for him to be able to complete Zhao Yulong's task quickly.
So now his actions are unambiguous, after all, this fortress is so big, so it is not very difficult to find things. And the things that Zhao Yulong wanted were not unusual items, they were completely common in the army.
So in less than a few moments, Hu Yun put these things in front of Zhao Yulong. After Zhao Yulong counted, he then said to Hu Yun: "Now go and get me a few ropes and a few bundles of horse grass." ”
It's also some common things, so Huyun is naturally looking for it quickly. However, Zhao Yulong didn't start to act after seeing that everything was ready, but sat in place and didn't know what he was waiting for.
In short, now Zhao Yulong has begun to close his eyes and no longer speak, and now Hu Yun sees that Zhao Yulong has closed his eyes, so he naturally doesn't dare to disturb him, so he is waiting for him to open his eyes next to him.
But Hu Yun is an active person after all, and it is inevitable to be bored when waiting, so he waits and waits, and soon falls asleep.
When he woke up again, he found that it was late at night, and he was woken up by Zhao Yulong.
Looking around, just behind Zhao Yulong, almost all the horses' mouths were tied up by ropes, so that half of their bodies were hanging, and the front half of their bodies were just stepping on the drum.
"Brother Long, what are you doing here?"
"Just look at you, it's not too late now, and you go and inform all the soldiers that for the next three days you will sleep during the day and move at night, leaving only a few sentry posts during the day. With that, he prepared to borrow the rope from the horse's grass.
Hu Yun naturally wanted to know what Zhao Yulong wanted to do, and all of them naturally had to be faster now, otherwise Zhao Yulong would not be able to see it if he had already finished it.
Fortunately, after an afternoon of rest, Hu Yun's spirit was very good, all of which was to rush between the various tents to convey the notices, and it was already an hour after all the notices were in place.
But when Hu Yun returned to Zhao Yulong, he found that Zhao Yulong still didn't act, but obviously Jing Rui and Meng Liang were all around him, and they were obviously about to start.
Now Zhao Yulong saw Hu Yun coming back, so he hurriedly beckoned: "Come here, there is just one person left here, go get some horse grass and choose a horse, and stand over." ”
"Oh!" Zhao Yulong naturally didn't know what Hu Yun was going to do, after all, Zhao Yulong always wanted to be a mystery that was difficult to see.
But since Zhao Yulong told him, he had to do it, after all, what Zhao Yulong said rarely made mistakes. And the most important thing is that everyone is brothers, and brothers naturally trust each other.
And it is precisely because of such a brother that Zhao Yulong is also very pleased.
Now Hu Yun has walked in front of the horse like Zhao Yulong and them, and at this time Zhao Yulong ordered again: "Very good, next, let's put this horse grass in front of the horse together, but just so that they can't reach it, not too far, so that they haven't laughed, and they can't get too close, too close to be eaten." ”
"Okay!" Now Hu Yun still doesn't quite understand what Zhao Yulong means, but since Zhao Yulong has already said so, he naturally wants to do it, and he estimates that he will still be able to figure it out after he finishes it.
"Very good everybody ready, put the grass in front together, and start. With that, almost everyone present put the horse grass out of the reach of these horses.
Now these horses are already a little hungry, and now they are naturally excited to see the horse grass, but because their mouths have been dropped on this, they have no way to move forward.
But the horse grass was so close to them, as if they could eat it by moving one step forward, and all they exhausted their strength to go ahead and eat the horse grass.
And when they move their bodies, they move on their feet, because their feet are not tied, and in the way they are accustomed, they are still running in the same way.
But now the front half of their bodies are suspended in the air, and only their feet are just on the drum, so now they keep stepping on the drum after moving like this.
The war drums used by the army are inherently characterized by good quality and long sound. Now there are dozens of horses stepping on it, and naturally the effect is not ordinarily good, of course, it can also be heard in the enemy camp not far from here.
Now the enemy army was sleeping peacefully, when suddenly it was awakened by a thunderclap. Then he hurriedly got up and looked towards Zhao Yulong's fortress.
I saw that through some gaps, I could vaguely see that the lights in the fortress were bright, showing a look of wanting to fight, which made General Nalan Fengxing startled.
"It's possible that he plans to attack at night, but fortunately we woke up early, but the young man is still too young after all, although the warriors are powerful, but I don't know if the drum sound is so loud will wake up the enemy, but I want to see what kind of level your night attack is. ”
If he wanted to play, General Nalan ordered the whole army to be on guard and wait for the enemy to attack. But the night had long passed, but there was still no sign of troops in Zhao Yulong's fortress, and the sound of war drums stopped in the middle of the night.
The busy work in vain naturally made the morale of these soldiers a little low, and more importantly, they didn't close their eyes last night, and now these soldiers are exhausted, so they have to continue to go back to sleep, and this matter is over.
But Zhao Yulong obviously didn't intend to let them go, so on the second night, almost at the same time, after the enemy soldiers had already fallen asleep, he used the same method to wake them up again.
Now these soldiers are a little lax, but they are still fighting and preparing to meet the enemy just in case. But this day was still in vain, because Zhao Yulong's army still did not move at all.
And on the third night, the sound of the drums was punctual again, which once again woke the sleeping soldiers. This time, however, they learned wisely, and when the drumming stopped, they found that there was nothing unusual around them and went back to sleep.
Now they have obviously developed antibodies to this drum sound, and they don't have the nervous feeling they had when they first listened to it, because they felt that Zhao Yulong was completely bluffing, and this drum sound naturally didn't need to be ignored.
Sure enough, on the fourth night, at the same time, the drum beat again. It's just that this time, the enemy soldiers, including General Nalan, have learned wisely, and they actually stuffed something in their ears, and they didn't care about the drum and continued to sleep.
And Zhao Yulong had already sent Hu Yun to observe the enemy camp at this time, after all, he had a hidden method and would not be discovered.
When he found that the enemy army did not have a single awake person, he came back and reported Zhao Yulong.
Now Zhao Yulong is naturally very happy, yes, the time is ripe, it is time to withdraw the army, so he directly notified the whole army to take advantage of the night and the sound of this drum to give up the horses and bring food to retreat directly.
And all the soldiers in the local military camp were still asleep and didn't know about Zhao Yulong's departure, and the next morning, seeing that Zhao Yulong's camp was not moving, it made Nalan Fengxing feel suspicious.
But thinking of Zhao Yulong's tricks, he didn't dare to come forward and watch for a while, so he could only watch from a distance.
Then a few more people passed, and General Nalan couldn't sit still, after all, Zhao Yulong hadn't even moved at all for the past few days, which was really strange.
And there are a lot of birds that have stopped on top of this fortress, and you must know that there are no such birds when there are people. So this made General Nalan feel even more wrong, anyway, he still can't live now, so he rushed in with the army.
After entering, he was dumbfounded, there was no one inside, and he was tricked by Zhao Yulong again.
