Although he couldn't imagine what kind of conspiracy his father and his army would fall into, he expected that the Platinum army would definitely come to attack Moluo City.

There is only one reason, the platinum army must be extremely firm that as long as the Aoki army leaves the city, there will be no return.

So the other side is very afraid that his prediction will come true.

Because by the time the prediction came true, his father and his army might have fallen into a situation from which he could never recover, and he might never have waited for his father's return.

Afraid of returning, the preparations for the defense of the city on the other side did not dare to stop for a moment.

An army of 50,000 can hold a city for seven days, but what about 5,000 soldiers?

If you want to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops and hold a city, you have to have some way.

If you don't use some extraordinary measures, it will only be a matter of time before the city falls. Whether or not you can live to usher in tomorrow's sunrise in Moluo City, there is no bottom in the heart of the other side.

As the defender of the city, he certainly has the advantage of being blocked by the city wall, but under the situation of extremely disparity in the strength of the troops, the advantage created by the strong city wall will also be lost.

The platinum army attacked the city for seven days, and the other side thought about it for seven days, but never came up with a good solution.

But when Beifeng led the army out of Moluo City and went away, the other side looked back at the thousands of households in Moluo City, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Destroy a city, win a war."

In the area where the qi of the five elements is broken, everything is withered, and the five major tribes, including the Aoki tribe, are all very poor, and as a remote town of the Aoki tribe, Moluo City is even more poor than other cities.

Most of the inhabitants of Moluo City live in thatched houses, with thatched roofs and wooden walls, and seven or eight thousand houses densely distributed on both sides of the three north-south streets and the four east-west streets, which are disorderly and chaotic.

As long as anyone sets a fire, they can burn Moluo City to the ground in an instant, leaving only a piece of scorched earth.

The other side wants to be the one who set the fire.

However, he burned not the inhabitants of Moluo City, but the tens of thousands of troops of the Platinum Tribe.

The other side felt the direction of the wind, the north wind. I couldn't help but be secretly surprised, God help me.

"General Situ, if we set a fire from the north, will Moluo City be burned to the ground? Including the thatched houses in the city, the people in the city, everything in the city? ”

General Situ is nearly fifty years old, has been a horse all his life, a decent person, a bold personality, experienced and calm, and is a person who is extremely trusted by General Beifeng, so he is specially left to defend the city with the other side. Decades of battlefield fighting have made him put life and death out of the way, life and death are between talking and laughing, but now when he hears the words of the other side, he is still taken aback.

"Childe on the other side, what did you say?" Situ couldn't believe his ears, he wanted to set fire to a city for no reason, isn't the other side sick?

The other side smiled slightly, and said more bluntly: "I want to set a fire in the north of Moluo City and burn Moluo City clean." ”

"Nonsense." Situ understood and asked loudly, "Why do you want to set fire to the city?" Do you know that there are nearly 10,000 people in this city, and do you want to burn them to death with them? ”

"General, don't worry." The other side seemed to have expected such a reaction from Situ a long time ago, so he was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly, "I want to ask the general, if we defend a city with 5,000 soldiers, if the platinum army comes to attack, can we hold it?" ”

"If you can't keep it, you have to defend it, even if you die in battle, what are you afraid of?" General Situ said generously. "As a soldier, it is incumbent on you to protect the country and protect the people, are you afraid?"

"Please answer my question, my question is, can we hold it?" The other side looked at Situ, and his tone was still not in a hurry.

There is no doubt about the questioning, Situ doesn't like this tone very much, but he is bitter that the other side is the son of the North Wind General, and his identity is special, so he can't be easily offended. Therefore, even though Situ was unhappy in his heart, he also tried his best to suppress it and did not show it.

Situ pondered for a moment and said, "If Bai Jin still attacks with an army of 40,000, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it. ”

"If you can't hold it, the city will be broken, right?" The other side then asked.

"That's nature." Situ said loudly. "What's the fear of the city being broken, it's just that the jade is burning."

"Why does the general always think about death? Even if you die, you have to die worthwhile, don't you? As a soldier, don't the general feel sad to die meaninglessly? ”

Situ was speechless for a while, and the other side naturally had some truth. A soldier can die, but not meaninglessly, and that kind of death is not only worthless, but indeed a kind of sorrow.

"What about after the city is broken?" The other side then asked, as if asking Situ, and as if asking himself. "The Platinum Army will definitely attack Aoki Castle, and in order to prevent the people in the rear from rebelling, they will definitely slaughter the city and kill all the people in Moluo Castle. After the slaughter of the city, in order to hide his crimes, he would set a fire to Moluo, and this city could not escape a fire after all. ”

Situ was a little confused by what the other side said, and he didn't know what he wanted to do, so he scratched his head and said loudly: "The other side, you make things clear, I'm a little confused." ”

The other side looked at Situ and said solemnly: "My idea is that since it is destined to be unable to hold Moluo City, since the residents of Moluo City will definitely be slaughtered, and since the platinum army will definitely set fire to Moluo City, then why don't we take the first step and move all the people out of the city, leaving an empty city for Platinum, and when its army enters Moluo City, close the city gate immediately, and then set fire to the north, at this time it is the north wind, the fire will spread rapidly in the city, and the platinum army that enters Moluo City will all die in this fire." ”

Situ was dumbfounded when he heard this, this strategy was really too vicious, not only destroying a city, but also destroying 40,000 troops, all the elites of a tribe. In more than 30 years of fighting, not only has he never used such a poisonous scheme, but he has never even heard of it. For a while, Situ became a little stuttering when he spoke. "Are you, you mean, want, want to burn Platinum's army of forty thousand with one fire?"

"Exactly." The other side said with certainty. "Destroy a city and win a war that is vital to the survival of the Aoki tribe."

"It's against the morality of war." Situ said loudly.

The other side smiled coldly and said, "General Situ, is there morality in war?" Is there a moral point in killing? When the city is broken, if you are still alive and see the Platinum army first slaughtering the city and then setting fire to it, will you still speak to them about morality? ”

Situ had to admit that what the other side said was reasonable, he couldn't find a reason to refute it, not to mention, this war was really about the life and death of the Aoki tribe. As the general of the Aoki tribe, he has been fighting for Aoki all his life, and whoever wants to destroy the Aoki tribe, he will never agree. "I'll admit that you have some truth in what you say, but how can you be sure that the Platinum Army will come to attack the city?"

"What if it comes?" The other side did not answer, nor did he explain, but asked rhetorically.

Although Situ did not receive an affirmative answer, as a general who had led the army for many years, he also knew that the battlefield was uncertain, the situation was changing rapidly, and it was not impossible for the army of the Platinum Tribe to appear under Moluo City. Since there is no definite answer, then all possibilities should be taken into account. "It is not a trivial matter to move all the people out of the city. What if the people don't want to go? Situ asked.

Looking at the quiet streets of the city, he said: "The war has been going on for seven days, and the people in the city have long been panicked, if it were not for my father's strict order that the people should not leave, I am afraid that most of them would have fled from Moluo and gone to relatives and friends." As long as you explain the cause of the matter to them, you will not run into major trouble. ”

"That's just as well." Situ finally nodded in the affirmative.

"If the general agrees, give an order at once that a thousand soldiers, together with the governor of the city, go from house to house to persuade all the people to carry only valuables, and to leave the north gate of the city within an hour. At the same time, they were told that the son of the Great General of the North Wind would help them rebuild their homes after the war was over, and that the house they were assigned would be better and stronger than the current one. ”

Situ looked at the adjutant general beside him and said, "Can you understand?" ”

The adjutant said loudly: "Understood. ”

Situ ordered: "Immediately bring a thousand soldiers, do what the prince on the other side said, within an hour, I will see an empty city." ”

"My subordinates will do it." The lieutenant general received the order to run away.

"General Situ, there are three things to do next, one is to send 2,000 soldiers to garrison on the main street directly opposite the city gate, wait for the platinum army to enter the city, retreat while fighting, and go north to bring all the platinum army into the city. The other is to select fifty soldiers who dare to die, carry fire, hide in thatched huts in various places, and when the whole army of the platinum army enters the city, they will immediately set the fire on fire, these soldiers may not escape the fire, you need to write down their names, so that they can be commended after the battle. The third thing was to order 3,000 soldiers to lie in ambush behind a small hill two miles west of the city, and once they found that there was a fire in the city, they quickly moved to the south gate to prevent the Platinum army from withdrawing outside the city. ”

The other side arranged in an orderly manner, but Situ still didn't understand it very well. "What about the defense of the city walls? We only have 5,000 soldiers. ”

The other side looked into the distance, which was the direction in which his father led the army to fight, the smoke and clouds were thicker, and the distance as far as the eye could see was extremely limited.

I wonder how my father is doing now? On the other side, the sounds of fighting, the screams of the soldiers, and the mournful screams of the horses were faintly heard from far away.

"The city wall is empty, the city gate is wide open, let us use this posture and wait for the arrival of the platinum army!" The other side said hatefully.

Situ's eyes widened again, "You mean, leave an empty city for the Platinum Army?" ”

"Aren't there two thousand troops waiting for them in the city? Besides, you and I are here, how can it be an empty city? ”

In just a few moments, the other side has already thought clearly about the entire defensive strategy, and even the strategy of destroying the enemy, and deployed it clearly. Situ couldn't help but secretly admire, it was really a general who came out of the tiger, the other side was so young, but he was extremely old and calm, which was really inconsistent with his age, and Situ began to look at him with admiration.

Turning his head to look into the distance, he thought to himself that if the 40,000 troops of the Platinum Tribe came to attack the city, I am afraid that they would really all be killed in the fire. Thinking of the scene of tens of thousands of troops struggling and wailing in the sea of fire, a cold air suddenly rose in Situ's heart. He suddenly felt that the other side was a terrible person, a cold person, an unpredictable person. In this battle, if he really wiped out the 40,000 troops of Platinum according to his deployment, the name of the other side would probably spread throughout the Five Elements Domain overnight, making people smell and change.

From then on, he will form a bitter hatred with the Platinum Tribe, and become the person who Emperor Hong and even the entire Platinum tribe want to kill even in his dreams.
