Zhu Zhen and Mu Ying knew very well that the success of this strategy was due to the fact that the Luo Luo people had never seen Kong Ming lanterns.

But people just don't know it, and they're not stupid, and they will come back soon. Therefore, after the two put on the lights, they immediately rushed to Puding Fort and ordered the fort door to be closed.

Mu Ying also ordered all the soldiers to walk back and forth on the fort wall, so that the people of the Puding Department could not figure out how many soldiers there were in the fort now.

He had a good grasp of the enemy's thoughts, and there were indeed many people from the Puding tribe at this time, and when they saw that there were no hungry ghosts in the sky and the world was quiet, they had the courage to come back again.

Then I found out that the nest had been stolen......

At this time, fools know that they have been fooled. The enraged Puding tribesmen are eager to kill them back immediately and break those despicable enemies into pieces.

But at this time, Pingdingshan has become someone else's natural danger, and Puding Fort has also become a castle for others, looking at the dense defenders on the city's head, the Puding tribesmen have to calm down and face the reality - with their little people can't take back Puding Fort at all.

"Look at their city, there are two or three thousand people, and there are at least ten thousand people in the fort." Mu Kui, a Puding Ministry, temporarily played the role of leader, he led people around Puding Fort in a circle, and came back to say to the leaders:

"Half of the troops in Shuidong and Shuixi are coming, we can't deal with it, we have to find help."

"Looking for whom?"

"Of course, it's the Dangxiong of the Pu'an Ministry, and the Mu Nai of the Luoshan Ministry, and they are just as anxious about losing Puding Fort. And Darima. Na Mu Kui said in a deep voice: "He is the one who made us homeless, if he does not help us recapture Fort Puding, we will surrender to Shuixi." ”

"Makes sense." Everyone nodded and said: "At the beginning, he built Puding Fort to avoid Qu Jing from facing the Ming army, but now that Puding Fort is lost, he will definitely be in a hurry." ”

"Let's go, let's split up to find reinforcements!" After Na Mukui finished speaking, he took a deep look at Puding Fort, and then turned to leave.

When all the tribesmen saw this, they followed suit. From beginning to end, no one asked, where did their female Tho Mu go?

~~

On the fortress wall, seeing that the Puding tribesmen who had gone and returned had left again, Mu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and reported to Zhu Zhen: "They shouldn't attack for the time being." ”

"Well, with their little strength, they definitely won't dare." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "It's just that they don't know, we have fewer troops." ”

"They should go to Darima for help. If Qujing is the gateway to Yunnan, Puding is the gateway to Qujing, and it is impossible for Darima to ignore it. Mu Ying said in a deep voice: "So this Puding Fort still has to go through a fierce battle." ”

"That's for sure, this is a battleground for soldiers." Zhu Zhen agreed: "I have heard that there is no such natural danger barrier in Puding, and Darima will definitely try to take it back." ”

"Your Highness is right," Mu Ying frowned and said: "Now the problem is that the last general's troops should have just arrived to the east of Guizhou, even if Shuixi cooperates, it will take some time to rush over." ”

"It's not a big problem, Darima's army is also five hundred miles away, and it must be later than our vanguard troops." Zhu Zhen said.

"Yes, but what the last general is worried about now is that before our army arrives, Darima will drive the native soldiers of the Pu'an and Luoshan tribes to attack Puding Fort. Besides, the Puding Department was also unharmed, and the combined strength of the three families was still considerable......" Mu Ying said softly.

"You're worried that the west of the water won't be able to hold on?" Zhu Zhen also said softly: "Isn't there still Shuidong?" Listening to Xiangxiang, they are all rushing here, and they will arrive in a few days, in short, they will definitely come earlier than those three. Although it is said that it is two against three, we are the defender of the city, so we should still have an advantage, right? ”

"What the last general is worried about is that Shuidong and Shuixi may not be willing to defend this fort." Mu Ying said with a serious expression: "Put yourself in their shoes, for them, it is really no good to fight this battle again." ”

"Indeed." Zhu Zhen said at one point: "Puding Fort is too far away from the territory of Shuidong and Shuixi, and they can't hold it if they occupy it." Now the revenge has been avenged, and the anger has come out. The best choice for them is to accept it when they see it, and go back to the funeral banquet with the head of Shier. ”

"If you stay and defend the city, you will die." Mu Ying sighed lightly: "Those toasts are very good, and they are definitely not willing to die for us, even if they are reluctantly left, their will to fight will not be firm." ”

"Understood, I'll take care of this." Zhu Zhen smiled at Mu Ying and said, "You can straighten out the city defense with peace of mind and prepare for the next battle to defend the city." ”

"Just wait for His Highness's words." Mu Ying immediately smiled and said, "Now the general will be relieved." ”

The corners of Zhu Zhen's mouth twitched, and he smiled speechlessly: "Brother Wen Ying, after a long time of contact, I found that you are also quite cheap." ”

"Why does Your Highness use it?" Mu Ying asked with a smile.

"Because this king is also quite cheap......" Zhu Zhen said quietly. The two of them burst out laughing.

~~

After receiving Mu Ying's life, Zhu Zhen asked Mrs. Xiangxiang to come over.

At this time, it is already early in the morning, standing at the head of the city and looking out, only to see that after a night of west wind, the sky is blue like washing, and the mountains and forests are dyed, so a colorful southwest autumn scene.

"Your Highness." Luxiang came to Zhu Zhen's side and called softly.

"Noha is here." Zhu Zhen smiled and glanced at the luxury fragrance, although she was a little haggard after not sleeping all night, it made her a little weaker, which made people pity.

"Oh no, I should have congratulated Tho Mu."

"Your Highness laughed." Xiangxiang shook her head lightly, looked at King Chu with sparkling eyes, and said: "This all depends on the help of His Royal Highness, and Xiangxiang has not been able to repay him in three lives." ”

"You're welcome, this king also has plans for his wife." After Zhu Zhen finished speaking, he coughed and said, "I mean there are also things that need help." ”

Extravagant Xiangqiao's face was slightly red, and she said softly: "Naturally, it is all up to His Highness's orders, and it is necessary to go to the soup and go to the fire." ”

"It's really a mess." Zhu Zhen was a little embarrassed, but he still said honestly: "Can you hold Puding Fort for this king for ten days?" ”

"Nature goes all out." Luxiang nodded without hesitation.

"Don't say so much to the bottom of your promise, listen to me before making a decision." Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "Our vanguard is still five hundred miles away, and it will take ten days to arrive at the earliest, and this is still under the full cooperation of Shuidong and Shuixi." ”

"Of course we will fully cooperate." Hao Xiang's voice was gentle and firm: "Your Highness can rest assured of this. ”

"Okay, you're good." Zhu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "But according to the judgment of Xiping Hou, Darima is likely to send two troops from Pu'an Luoshan to assist the Puding Department in recapturing Puding Fort." ”

"So you may have to face the siege of the three divisions, of course, Fort Puding will help you a lot, and there should not be much loss." Zhu Zhen said again: "But the premise is that the will to fight must be resolute, otherwise no natural danger can stop the enemy." ”

"Understood." Xiangxiang nodded slightly.

"So, can you still say yes?" Zhu Zhen looked at the luxury fragrance fixedly.

"Promise." Hao Xiang still said without hesitation.
