A small group of Qi army scouts were unfortunately discovered by Ding Kui by the Diyan Lake, and after a few breaths, it turned into Xu Dao's military exploits, and Bi Qiao rushed to fight with Ding Kui in a hurry.

The besieging Cao army rushed to the scene when they heard the news and forced Bi Qiao back.

After returning to the camp, Ding Kui took off his black crystal iron helmet and said, "Get ready, tonight will be as you expected." ”

Xu Dao immediately convened his generals to discuss the matter, and his own soldiers strictly guarded the military tent in the middle, and only those who were ordered by the army were allowed to approach.

In the evening, the siege force withdrew to the barracks, and the scouts operating around the city disappeared.

"Report, the enemy master knight approached the camp of our army. ”

"Leave him alone, when he doesn't see it, he doesn't dare to act rashly. "Ding Kui is dining," pretending to be a trick of advancing and retreating. ”

"Shouldn't we pretend to be vigilant?" Xu Dao was not used to psychological warfare.

"They know that I am here, Bi Qiao came alone to try my reaction, the more I don't show up, the more panicked he becomes, the more doubts in my heart, I must act according to our expectations, don't worry, I have seen a lot of such people. ”

Xu Dao didn't dare to question this sentence, and of course Ding Kui's experience in dealing with sixth-level masters was richer.

Bi Qiao quickly retreated, and Cao Jun's ignorance made him sure that Ding Kui was suspected of luring the enemy, and he did not dare to throw himself into the net.

At night, the war drums suddenly sounded at the head of Shuigu City, and the Cao army camp couldn't help but stir, and hundreds of cavalry ran out with fire and cruised in front of the camp to prevent the Qi army from coming to steal the camp.

However, the drums in the city continued to beat non-stop, and a small force of Cao's army approached the south gate, and was shot back by random arrows, only to see the walls densely covered with flags, and countless figures swaying under the banner.

Xu Dao walked out of the Zhongjun tent and glanced at the big tent next to him, where Ding Kui was resting, but there was no light in the tent.

"The officers on duty will step up their patrols, and the others will all return to the tents to rest!" he ordered and returned to the tent of the Chinese army.

The drums of Shuigu City rang all night, and it didn't stop until dawn, Ding Kui came to the Zhongjun tent before the point, and smiled at Xu Dao: "Hehe, the plan of hanging sheep and beating the drum has been used, and Xu Shuai can order the recovery of the empty city." ”

Xu Dao ordered the siege of the city according to his words, and Cao's army quickly advanced to the city, but did not encounter the defenders' resistance, and knocked open the city gate in three or two clicks, only to find that there was no Qi army in the city.

The herald returned: dozens of goats were hung on top of the southern city, with their forefeet on the surface of the drum, and when Cao's army landed in the city, most of the goats were still struggling to beat the war drums.

"Lord Ding was really prescient. Xu Dao was once again convinced.

Ding Kui's shame: Hanging sheep beating drums, hungry horseshoebells, is my Great China idiom, I learned it decades ago, but I just happened to meet it here, and it is not easy for the commander of the Qi army to come up with this method.

He couldn't explain it to Xu Dao, so he had to say: "The game of my childhood, I used similar methods to deceive people, Qi Jun has masters, we must pay more attention to it." ”

The 10,000 Cao army quickly occupied a strategic place in the city, demolished the magic guild rebuilt by the Qi State as soon as possible, cleaned up the weapons and grain warehouses, and then blocked the main streets, driving the people out of their homes from house to house.

The more senior officers constantly explained to the people that Mizutani City was only temporarily safe, and asked the people to pack up and move to a safe city.

The people who are still in Shuigu City today belong to people who refuse to leave their homes and their homeland, and they are unwilling to leave no matter how Cao Jun persuades them. As a result, the top echelons of Cao's army were enraged, and more troops marched into the city, divided into regions and sections, and drove the people out of the city by force.

A long dragon of people was formed outside the south gate of Shuigu City, from the city gate to the military camp, and part of the Cao army escorted a large number of people out of the city.

Ding Kui and Xu Dao observed the situation from the upper floor of Nancheng.

"Could there be a spy hidden among the people?" Xu Dao was very calm, not like he had just been angry.

"It's hard to say, anyway, they can't go back to the city today, and the batch sent to the military camp in the city can't come out, they can't contact the Qi army, and the spies who observe from a distance can't see that our people are mixed with the people. Ding Kui's attention was focused on the vicinity of the south gate, observing whether there were any people peeping in the dark.

"Will the enemy be fooled? I think that almost all of our troops are in the city. Xu Dao looked at the familiar faces in the human dragon.

It turned out that they used the excuse of driving the people out of the city, but in fact, most of the soldiers changed into civilian clothes and blended into the ranks of the people, and some of the people changed into military uniforms and pretended to be Cao Jun and stationed in the military camp in the city.

In the eyes of outsiders, almost all of Cao's army entered Shuigu City, and only a small number of troops escorted the people out of the city, but in fact, most of the men and horses had already mixed out of the city and returned to the military camp outside the city.

This is Ding Kui's plan to steal beams and change pillars, making a big move in the city and driving the people out of Shuigu City, in order to cover Cao Jun's sneak back to the barracks.

"When do you think the enemy will counterattack? Xu Dao suffers from mild dependence, and he is reluctant to use his brains around Ding Kui, so if he doesn't know, he asks, and I believe that Ding Kui will definitely be able to give the answer.

Ding Kui looked back at the north and said, "If it's fast, it's tonight, and if it's slow, it's tomorrow morning, the enemy must be worried that it will change later, and won't let us wait too long." By the way, immediately notify the side of Shuikou City, suspend the siege, and be ready to return to Tiangu City at any time. ”

"Yes!"

The expulsion continued into the afternoon, and in the unlikely event of fierce resistance, Cao stopped the expulsion and ordered martial law throughout the city, and everyone must stay at home and not go out.

With a bang, the water surface of the Earth Eye Lake suddenly cracked, and a green shadow flashed ashore, and the green shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye. There was no one nearby and could not see the scene.

Ding Kui, who was sitting in the City Lord's Mansion, suddenly got up and shouted: "Your own people are flying, don't be nervous, don't stop it." ”

As soon as the words fell, a green shadow fell into the front yard, and the pro-soldiers and guards had just been reminded by Ding Kui, and there was no violent reaction.

Ao Yu walked into the main hall with the steps of six relatives who did not recognize him, nodded to Xu Dao casually, and then said to Ding Kui: "It's coming, it is expected to arrive after dark." ”

Xu Dao heard it inexplicably, but Ding Kui knew it.

"Alright, the four walls are prepared with flammable materials, and this place is also full of fire oil, and the whole army will withdraw from Watervalley City before dark. Ding Kui crossed Xu Dao for the first time and ordered directly.

Xu Dao waited for the herald to leave before asking: "Don't you need to leave some people to fight?" Otherwise, no one will light the fire, most of the people in the city are from Cao Guo, and it is easy to burn down the houses if the fire is lit early. ”

"It's okay, he and I are in charge of igniting the fire. Ding Kui pointed at Ao Yu.

"My subordinates should stay with you. Xu Dao was embarrassed to leave his superiors.

"You can't fly. Ding Kui refused a word.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, a troop drove out of the city defense barracks, escorted hundreds of carts, and walked towards the south gate.

Those who know must be able to recognize that the officer who opened the way in front is actually Xu Dao, the commander of Cao's Fourth Army, who is now only wearing the clothes of a captain.

As soon as they left the south gate, a thick mist blew from the depths of the Earth Eye Lake and quickly spread to the shore, even if the sky was not completely dark, the people on the shore could not see the surface of the lake clearly.

In the sky north of Shuigu City, Ding Kui and Ao Yu gradually showed their figures.

"Here I am, they found me. "Ding Kui's spiritual power has just collided with the other two spiritual powers, and he found that there are two forbidden magicians in the depths of the Earth Eye Lake.

Ao Yu crossed his arms and said, "I don't like arson, you should know." ”

"I'll light the fire on the city wall, you go to the city lord's mansion, and when you see fires on three sides, just throw a torch into the hall. ”

"That's pretty much it. Ao Yu turned around and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Bah, bah, two magic light bombs flew into the air.

Suddenly there was a sound of killing in the mist, and as the fire flickered, the mist quickly dissipated, and the shadows of sails stood on the surface of the lake, and countless warships were rushing to the shore.

"Quick! Speed up, rush back to the camp to change clothes!" Xu Dao ran to the side of the road, got out of the way, and waved desperately to speed up the convoy behind.

On these more than 100 carts were the equipment taken off by Cao Jun, who was disguised as a common man, and was to be transported back to the camp to be changed by the officers and soldiers in civilian clothes.

Ding Kui didn't look back, threw a fireball backwards, and then turned around and flew to the east.

Boom, the north tower of Mizutani City burst out of the fire, and the firelight spread along a straight line to both sides, and those who have experience can see that this is a pre-buried fire line and a prepared arson.

Boom, a magic light shot rose in the distance to the east, and then the sound of killing was gradually heard.

Boom, the East City Tower also burst into flames, burning out of the fire line like the North City Tower.

In less than five minutes, the Xicheng Tower was also set on fire.

"Yo, that guy is a little faster. Ao Yu threw away the torch in disgust.

The torch drew an arc and fell into the main hall accurately, and the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion was full of fire oil, and it only took a spark for the fire to engulf the entire hall.

Five or six miles south of Cao's camp, a large number of soldiers rushed in the darkness of the night towards the avenue connecting the north and south.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

There were several screams in the darkness, and immediately someone was heard shouting, "The enemy scouts have discovered us." ”

"Rocket ready!"

On the other side of the avenue stood countless black shadows, and rows of torches lit up in the darkness, and in the light of the fire, archers could be seen lined up in a neat line, lighting arrows and drawing longbows in unison.

"Put!"

"Beep!"

As soon as the bronze whistle sounded, thousands of rockets rose into the air, suddenly lighting up the night sky, illuminating the soldiers and horses speeding in the field.

"Raise the shield! Raise the shield! It's troublesome, Cao Jun has an ambush. An officer jumped on horseback, "The front army is bypassing left and right, and the Chinese army is raising its shield on top of it, and I must rush desperately! I must cut off the official road!" After shouting, he slapped his horse and rushed towards the avenue.

Xu Dao hurried back to the barracks, quickly changed into his armor, and ordered: "The whole army rushes in the direction of Huining City! The death squad stays, waiting for the enemy to attack, and immediately set fire to the camp." ”

Ding Kui found Ao Yu, and the two had flown over Nancheng, turning around and looking north together.

"It's such a violent fluctuation of mana, is it to cast a forbidden spell?" Ding Kui put his hand on the pergola, trying to see it clearly.

"The roar of ice. Ao Yu is too familiar with water magic, "It's still far away, how can that person use this magic?"

Ding Kui put down his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Who knows, maybe afraid that someone will ambush them in the fire, and using a single forbidden spell first can ensure their safety." He could clearly feel the two forbidden magicians over there.

"Many people came from the east, more than twenty or thirty thousand. "Ao Yu is used to the battlefield, and his dragon soul is trained quite accurately in judging the strength of troops.

"Wow! it's so dangerous, it turns out that Zhu Ke's main force is here!" Ding Kui patted his chest.
