I'm playing tricks in Daqin

The soldiers of the Phoenix Legion only defended but did not attack. They voluntarily gave up several lines of defense one after another. Each of them was already full of anger. As soon as the counterattack drums rang, the reserve troops who had not participated in the battle immediately looked like tigers that had been released from the gate. Leaped out of the line of defense and fiercely attacked Xiang Jinbing.

The Jin soldiers who fought continuously were already exhausted and exhausted. They who had been attacking all the time did not expect that the Qin army could launch a counterattack at such a time. They panicked for a while, some ran back desperately, and some danced The knife rushed up and was soon submerged by the red sea.

The golden soldiers only resisted a little, and soon collapsed, one by one desperately running back, even if the officers killed the deserters, it was useless. Facing the sweeping red ocean, no matter how brave the warrior was, his face was pale with fright. Turn around and run for your life in a panic.

The soldiers of the Phoenix Legion chased after them fiercely, and the golden soldiers fled. It was impossible to hold their ground and resist, so they occupied a few lines of defense not long ago and the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion regained them in one go.

Looking at the defeated tribal fighters, it is probable that Da Khan and all the tribal leaders, big and small, all opened their mouths wide. Just now, they were defeated again and again in a blink of an eye. This gap is really unacceptable.

"retreat……"

The ashen-faced man was sweating profusely for a long while, then gritted his teeth and gave the order to withdraw troops. He fought all day and paid tens of thousands of casualties, but the result was such a tragic situation that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

Desperately retreating to Ye County, in an extremely bad mood, Dabu Khan chopped off the heads of several officers and smashed several emerald cups. All the better.

Chapter 483 Attrition War

Early the next morning, Dubudu Khan continued to lead his army out of Ye County to attack the Qin army camp, and at the same time ordered all the injured soldiers to be transported back to Tiandu Danguan for recuperation.

The arrival of [-] reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the Jin soldiers. Inspired by the rumbling drums, they roared and attacked the Qin army's camp.

After recovering all the lines of defense in one go, the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion repaired and reinforced them, relying on the lines of defense to carry out tenacious resistance.

However, today's battle is different from yesterday's. After tenacious resistance, Mingzhu still ordered his soldiers to abandon the first and second lines of defense, and then ordered the soldiers to recharge their batteries for a long time when the third line of defense was under the most violent attack from the golden soldiers. The heavily armored soldiers who fell into the camp attacked.

The Jin army is in charge of the attack this time. The reinforcements have just been urgently dispatched from outside the Great Wall. They have not fought against the heavy armored soldiers in the trapped camp. , was about to go all out to capture the third line of defense of the Qin army. Seeing the counterattack of the Qin army, they immediately swarmed up, wanting to eat up the counterattacking Qin army in one go, and take the opportunity to take down the third line of defense.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, these tribal warriors who had just left the customs and went into battle finally knew the horror of the heavy armor. Their swords slashed fiercely on the thick and solid iron armor of the heavy armor, and only a stream of sparks burst out on the surface of the armor. A series of small dents were left, and the palm holding the weapon was numb and painful. It was almost impossible to hold the weapon in his hand. Leaning back a bit, it didn't hurt the soldiers of the Qin army who were tightly wrapped in iron armor at all.

And their shields are like paper paste in front of Mo Dao. When Mo Dao falls, the shield is often broken and killed, and it is almost a tragic situation of two halves.

Facing this invulnerable and invincible steel monster, no matter how brave the warrior was, he was terrified and his morale dropped to freezing point. If he didn't want to die, he could only turn around and run away.

Fortunately, although these steel monsters were terrifying, they moved very slowly, and they couldn't catch up with them at all. The only thing to dodge was the waves of dense arrow rain falling from the sky.

Mingzhu's counterattack this time, using the heavy armored soldiers trapped in the camp as the assault force, regained the line of defense without any effort, more than a thousand enemies were left, and only more than 300 Jin soldiers died under the heavy armored soldiers Mo Dao, most of them were fleeing Time to die under the cover of the arrow array.

Mostly Khan had to invest in a new attack echelon and re-launch the attack. The soldiers on both sides fought fiercely. The first, second and third lines of defense of the Qin Army became a terrifying meat grinder, frantically devouring the young soldiers of both sides. life.

The profuse Khan who supervised the battle before the battle had been watching the changes in the entire battlefield, his brows frowning into a Sichuan shape.

The repeated battles for the three positions were extremely tragic, and the losses of the already side were extremely heavy, and the loss of the Qin army was not small. Once the Qin army lost the first and second lines of defense one after another, it would definitely launch a counterattack like a madman to regain the lost positions. Even if Fang's soldiers were brave, they couldn't sustain the desperate counter-charge of the Qin army. Although the attack and defense of the heavy armored soldiers were extremely terrifying, it was difficult for them to fight for a long time. In the two subsequent counterattacks, the heavy armored soldiers had already Without participation, this made Dubudu's confidence pick up again.

However, this kind of head-on battle, regardless of losses, is not Mingzhu's style at all. If you sweat profusely for a while, you can't figure out whether Mingzhu is crazy or not?

He has played against Mingzhu many times, and he has been desperately collecting various information about Mingzhu.

According to what he knew about Mingzhu, Mingzhu was strict in running the army, with clear rewards and punishments, and she cherished the lives of the soldiers under her command. In the battles she commanded, unless it was absolutely necessary, she generally avoided confronting her opponents and tried to avoid casualties of soldiers as much as possible. They are all avoiding the truth, looking for the weak point of the opponent, and giving a fatal blow. Because of this, many of her battles are classics, which are recorded in the military history of the mainland.

Maybe Du Khan's understanding of Mingzhu is quite correct, but he forgot the main point, people will change, and the tribes outside the Great Wall never engage in production, and they all support wars by fighting. It was burning, killing, and looting, which was extremely cruel. In Mingzhu's impression, it was already extremely bad. In addition, Li Wei's inadvertent pillow breeze made her feel that the people outside the Great Wall were completely uncivilized and extremely cruel barbarians.

Another one, she is a member of the Jin Empire, let alone watch the hundreds of thousands of people in the Jin Empire being enslaved by the Jin people, so her temperament suddenly changed, she did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers under her command, and used the tough battle of defense and counterattack to fight desperately Consuming the vital strength of the Jin soldiers forced Duobu to be unable to invade the Central Plains again and retreat beyond the Great Wall.

Of course, in such a head-to-head battle, even if the Golden Army's strength was successfully exhausted, the Phoenix Legion's losses were not small, and the casualties were close to half.

With such a high casualty rate, if it were an ordinary army, it would have collapsed long ago, but the Phoenix Legion has been tempered into a hundred-fighting lion by a series of tragic battles, even though most of the companions around them have fallen, and they have not received an order to retreat The soldiers are still fighting bloody, would rather die than retreat.

"Where is the reinforcements now?"

Mingzhu asked the generals around her in a low voice. The number of troops in her hands was too small and the rate of battle losses was high, which made it difficult for her to deploy. The soldiers who participated in the battle did not get enough rest, and had to rush into a new round of battle. Physical strength and morale were inevitable. be affected to a certain extent.

"Ming Shuai, the reinforcements have arrived in Xinyang County."

A general bowed and replied that the reinforcements had already arrived in Xinyang County. However, even if they kept on going, it would take two days at the fastest to arrive.

"Two days, enough."

Mingzhu nodded slightly, and took a deep breath in her heart. She was confident that she would stick to the camp for five days, and she estimated that it would take at least four or five days for the reinforcements to arrive. She didn't expect it would only take two days, which somewhat surprised her.

However, when she thought of her husband, a faint smile could not help but escape from the corner of Dan Hong's lips, he is omnipotent.

In order to motivate the soldiers, she ordered the news of the impending arrival of the reinforcements to be conveyed, and ordered the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to start using the Thunder Chariot.

At the beginning, he didn't want to use the terrifying Thunder Chariot right away, because he was worried that he would be hurt and scared, forcing him to retreat directly, which would not achieve the purpose of consuming vital power. Not small, the Thunder Chariot is ready to use.

After receiving the order, the soldiers were all overjoyed, now it's time for those barbarians to pay for the Thunder Chariot.

Before, they couldn't figure out why Mingzhu ordered the prohibition of using the terrifying thunder chariot. They couldn't figure it out, but no one questioned the commander's order. All the veterans in the Great Qin Army have been successfully brainwashed and become loyal to the empire. In the empire, professional soldiers and fanatical militants fighting for glory, the bounden duty of soldiers is to obey orders absolutely.

At this time, after a short rest, the exhausted soldiers of the trapped camp rejoined the battle. After recovering the first and second lines of defense in one go, they withdrew to the camp to rest, and the line of defense was defended by the infantry of the Phoenix Legion.

While the Golden Army retreated and had not yet launched a new round of attack, the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion hurriedly built the dilapidated simple line of defense, while the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion pushed the thunder chariots out of the path behind the line of defense Tong, laid out in a word, erected behind the simple fence.

Those simple wooden fences were so damaged that they were useless. When repairing the line of defense, the soldiers ignored those fences and started fires to melt the snow and poured them into a one-meter-high ice wall, which was much stronger than the wooden fences.

It was not allowed to melt snow to pour ice walls before, and now this order has been cancelled. The soldiers took advantage of the fact that the golden soldiers had not yet launched a new round of attack, and desperately lit fires to melt the snow, poured ice walls one after another, and even poured a series of ice walls. A square iceberg, on which the Thunder Chariot was erected, acted as a fort.

However, the golden soldiers didn't give them much time to fiddle with the ice defense line. As the earth-shattering rumbling drums began to beat again, densely packed golden soldiers rushed forward roaring, and a new round of fighting began again.

Chapter 484 Has the Potential of a Faint King

The densely packed golden soldiers brandished their knives and guns, roaring and charging towards the Qin army camp.

I have charged many times before, and I only need to rush through the death zone made of ice bombs, and then rush through the death blockade covered by arrow rain, and then I can rush to the camp and fight hand-to-hand with the defending Qin army.

These golden soldiers are already used to it. Don’t look at the shocking sound of falling ice or stone bombs. They can knock down the city walls, but when they are used to hit people, their power is greatly reduced. Unlucky wretch.

What the golden soldiers are afraid of is the rain of arrows falling like raindrops, which are so dense that you can't dodge them at all. Fortunately, they all carry a big shield to block the rain of arrows. The unlucky guy was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. Although he was not killed immediately, he was also shot into a big hedgehog by the second rain of arrows. Life.

As long as you cross these two death blockades, you will basically save half of your life. The next close-to-hand combat will all depend on your personal strength and luck. Jinbing is not afraid of this one. Most of their personal strength is extremely high. High, some are even tyrannical, enough to block ten by one.

But this time the attack, Qin Jun gave them an unexpected "surprise,"

Huge arrows as thick as arms roared towards them, covered with raw cowhide, and shields that could not even penetrate the arrows could not protect their lives. The giant arrows smashed into the shields with terrifying force and tore their bodies apart. , and then smashed the second shield, piercing through the soldier's body, still not exhausted, then smashed the third shield, knocking No.3 soldier into the air.

Basically, the body was torn apart, or the arms, arms, and thighs were shot off, and fell on the snow, struggling and howling. Fortunately, the pain directly passed out. These wounded soldiers were not treated at all, and the end was blood loss. Too many deaths.

All of a sudden, blood mist was sprayed, stumped limbs were thrown flying, and the howls were endless. Most of the rows of golden soldiers rushing to the front fell down in an instant. , Some bit the bullet and continued to rush forward, and some turned around and ran back in fright.

The few people who ran forward were shot down one by one by the Qin army's snipers, and those who ran backward were beheaded by the supervising team. Military law is so ruthless.

Going forward is death, retreating is also death, these golden soldiers have no choice at all, they can only bite the bullet and charge forward.

However, they were frightened by the terrifying lethality of the Thunder Chariot, and their morale was obviously low.

The power of Thunderbolt's flat shot is the most terrifying. The closer the distance, the more terrifying the lethality. The giant arrows fired by the powerful machine spring can often penetrate the shield bodies of four or five soldiers, and the flying speed of this thing is so fast that you can't dodge it at all. The wooden shield covered with several layers of rawhide is like paper paste. What's terrible is that the sky will sprinkle dense waves of arrows from time to time. For a while, the attacking golden soldiers suffered heavy losses. He rushed to the front of the camp and fought with the Qin army in close combat.

No matter how brave the warriors were, in the face of such a terrifying attack, they also lost all courage in fright. They turned around and ran back one by one.

Seeing the faces of the fleeing soldiers pale and lacking in courage, Khan had to order to suspend the attack. At this time, he already understood Mingzhu's purpose, which was to fight a war of attrition and consume the vital strength of the Dajin Empire.

However, he also knew that Mingzhu had to put the terrifying Thunder Chariot into the battlefield because of too few troops and suffered heavy losses in successive battles.

"Whoever enters the barracks will be rewarded with a thousand taels, promoted to three ranks, and those who are timid and retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Mostly Khan knows that before the Qin army's reinforcements arrive, this may be his last chance to defeat Mingzhu. If he misses it, he can only give up the forcible relocation of hundreds of thousands of people in Yiyang Province and counties to the outside of the Great Wall. Plan, honestly retreat to the dangerous pass of Tiandu, and patiently wait for the next opportunity.

He didn't want to miss such an opportunity, and he had to fight again no matter what, so he promised a lot of rewards to boost the morale of the soldiers.

At the same time, he sent people to Yiyang to urge Fulongduo to speed up his march, so as not to be blocked by the Qin army in the pass when Ye County could not hold it.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Thousands of tribal warriors roared, waved their weapons, and launched an attack again.

In the camp of the Qin Army, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion desperately fired huge arrows with thick arms, shooting down pieces of golden soldiers, and then covered by arrow formations, while the shield soldiers and spearmen hacked and killed the few golden soldiers who rushed close to the camp .

Although the lethality of the thunder chariot is terrifying, its rate of fire is slow and its failure rate is high. In addition to the bravery of the golden soldiers, there are still groups of golden soldiers rushing into the trenches and desperately attacking the Qin soldiers in the fence. The soldiers on both sides fought bloody battles , The sound of roaring and killing shook the sky, corpses were everywhere, and the white snow was dyed red.

Groups of golden soldiers crowded in the trenches, blocked by the ice wall, densely packed in a large area, for the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, this was an excellent bombardment target, the huge arrows could almost be said to hit the golden soldiers' chests. Shooting, often a huge arrow, can smash the shields and bodies of seven or eight golden soldiers.

The snipers hide behind the sword and shield soldiers, point to kill the officers of the golden soldiers, or extremely fierce warriors with extremely high personal force values, while the archers continue to cover them with arrow arrays, trying to kill the golden troops rushing from behind as much as possible. Soldiers block, in order to reduce the pressure on the sword and shield soldiers who are fighting close to each other in front of the formation.

The bright pearl with a calm face like water stood on the high platform, condescendingly looking down at the entire battlefield, and greatly appreciated Xianggong's new concepts such as arrow array coverage and blocking.

According to the general thinking, when the attacking side is charging, the archers throw several waves to kill the enemy as much as possible. The enemy provides some cover to the soldiers fighting in close quarters, but more and more enemies are coming in behind, which puts constant pressure on the soldiers who are resisting the enemy in front, causing more casualties. If the will is not tenacious, the defense line may be broken through and defeated.

Xianggong’s brand-new combat concepts such as arrow array coverage and blocking subverted the traditional concept. A large number of archers covered a certain area with dense arrow rain to block the troops behind the attacker, which greatly reduced the front hand-to-hand combat. The pressure to kill the soldiers, when they have almost wiped out the enemy in front of them, the enemy's follow-up troops can rush forward. Although the number of enemies killed is not as many as free shooting, the effect is great, which greatly reduces the number of soldiers in front. The pressure also reduces the casualty rate.

As for those sniper teams composed of sharpshooters, the primary goal is to shoot and kill enemy officers, which is even more amazing.

The commander is the soul of an army, and the grassroots officers are the foundation of an army. They are often served by veterans who have experienced many battles. Leading and commanding the soldiers under their command is the most precious asset in the army. The loss of a large number of officers can make An army quickly loses combat effectiveness and even collapses.

There are a lot of other things that are all thought up by Xianggong, and I don't know how many amazing and wonderful ideas he has in his mind?

Like all the sisters, Mingzhu not only admires her husband, but also admires her husband, and is secretly glad that she married the right person.

Of course, although my husband-in-law is a genius, he is not a saint. He also has a lot of minor problems. Xiao Dongdong and Hua Hua are both loved and feared by people. If they didn't understand his nature, they would really look like a fatuous, incompetent and egotistical fool.

In private, a group of sisters joked that their husband-in-law was too absurd and had the potential to be a fool.

But, then again, if you only look at the problem from the perspective of a woman, isn't this the husband's love for them?

Anyone would be happy.

Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to make the distinction between a wise ruler and a foolish ruler.

Thinking of that kind of little thing that makes people blush and heartbeat, Mingzhu instinctively raised her hand and touched her chest. The small underwear she is wearing now was designed by her husband. It is small and thin, so flirtatious. Described, a big lady puts it on, and immediately becomes... When her fingertips touched the hard and cold breastplate, she came back to her senses, and her smooth and pretty face couldn't help but flush. At this time, the battle was in full swing, but she was thinking wildly It's really embarrassing.

Chapter 485 Night Attack on the Golden Army

The tragic offensive and defensive battle did not end until the sky darkened, and the Jin army left behind corpses in various shapes and sizes and retreated to Ye County.

The battle damage was reported quickly. Excluding the wounded, more than 4000 soldiers were killed in battle. The loss was so heavy that most of them were sweating profusely with black lines on their faces, and they almost wanted to vomit blood.

However, he did not have an attack, but instead slaughtered pigs and sheep, rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, and changed his order to serve as a reserve team. The [-] soldiers who did not participate in the battle stepped up to rest.

Dudu Khan knew that this was the last chance to defeat Mingzhu, and he didn't want to miss it, but when attacking during the day, the lethality of the Qin Army's Thunder Chariot was too terrifying, so he planned to attack the camp in the middle of the night.

Fighting at night brings a lot of inconvenience, and there are too many uncertain factors, and it might be possible to shoot yourself in the foot, but this is a last resort, and it can be regarded as the last gamble.

In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, the south gate of Yexian County was quietly opened, and black golden soldiers poured out of the city, braving the cold wind of howling, and quietly touched the camp of the Qin army.

Mostly Khan led a group of tribal leaders, large and small, to supervise the battle in front of the battle. Seeing that the soldiers had entered the range of the Qin Army's thunderbolt chariot, and the Qin Army's camp was quiet and there was no movement at all, this made people feel uncomfortable. Many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the expectations in their hearts couldn't help but increase by [-]%.

The night attack was inconvenient, but the situation forced it to take risks. The Thunder Chariot of the Qin Army was too terrifying. Fighting in the daytime caused too many casualties, and it was difficult for Dajin to bear any more losses.

During the war, usually at night, the warring parties would light piles of bonfires under the city or outside the barracks to prevent the enemy from raiding the camp under the cover of night.

There were more than a dozen bonfires lit outside the camp of the Qin Army. However, perhaps it was because the soldiers on duty were lazy and did not add dry wood. The flames of the bonfires were very small and were almost extinguished. The night is like more than a dozen faint stars, flickering under the blowing of the north wind, adding a bit of eerie feeling of terror.

For this night attack, Da Khan carefully selected [-] elite fighters and divided them into three attack echelons. The [-] soldiers in the first and second attack echelons were responsible for touching the camp and causing chaos, while the third attack echelon sat on horseback. Above all, when the Qin army's camp was in chaos, they immediately attacked to expand the results of the battle, and then defeated Mingzhu, an elite Qin army of more than [-] people, in one fell swoop.

The distance between the two attacking echelons was about a hundred steps. Under the hazy moonlight, [-] warriors advanced cautiously. Ye Buxing had already sneaked to the camp of the Qin army, only ten steps away from the trench. They did not find the Qin army's patrols and secret posts at a distance of more than [-] meters. They suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts and sent people back to report the situation.

When the [-] warriors of the first attack echelon advanced to about fifty steps from the Qin Army's camp, a dozen or so Yebushou who had already dived into the trench were about to climb over the ice wall and enter the camp. A series of voices suddenly sounded in the big camp, scaring the faces of the dozen or so people who were not accepted for the night.

Yebushou in the ancient continent is equivalent to the scouts of later generations. They are all filled with veterans who have experienced many battles. They are good at fighting, fighting, stealth and reconnaissance. They knew that it was the sound of bowstrings firing. From the dense sound of bowstrings, it can be confirmed that thousands of archers fired arrows at the same time within a few yards. As for the heavy and muffled sound, it should be some A large assault weapon fired by a powerful spring?If I didn't guess wrong, it should be the kind of thunder chariot with terrible lethality. Doesn't it mean that the Qin army had calculated that they would attack the camp tonight, and dug a hole long ago to wait for them to throw themselves into the trap?

Before those nights could sound a warning, the five thousand warriors who were advancing in the dark had heard something strange from the howling cold wind, and instinctively looked up one by one.

"Enemy attack..."

The veteran who has experienced many battles is very experienced. When he heard the strange sound, his expression changed greatly in fright. He instinctively raised his shield to protect his head, and his body curled up under the shield desperately.

That sound is the screaming sound produced by the rapid flight of arrows piercing the air, and there are a lot of them. Thinking about the waves of dense arrow rain scattered by the Qin army during the attack during the day, it seems like you don’t need money. If you don’t hide faster, you will die of.

Most of the time, people react in a timely manner during the day with clear vision. In the dark night, even elite veterans, their brain reactions will be slower than during the day, or half a beat slower.

Just slowing down by half a beat is already fatal.

The pain in the spine was very clear, and people couldn't help but howl in pain. When they fell down, their brains also realized that they were attacked by the rain of arrows.

Wave after wave of arrows rained down from the sky, and pieces of golden soldiers fell down with screams. Many soldiers who reacted quickly raised their shields in time to protect their bodies, and were lucky to escape the catastrophe.

However, for the tribal warriors in the first attack echelon, the rain of arrows was just the beginning of a nightmare. Those tribal warriors who survived the rain of arrows had not had time to rejoice, but giant arrows as thick as arms had already shot out of the darkness. Finally, they tore their strong bodies apart, and then tore apart the bodies behind them, followed by the third, and the fourth.

While advancing in the dark, they were suddenly attacked fiercely by the Qin army. The golden soldiers of the first attack echelon were in a mess. Under the intensive arrow rain and the fierce bombardment of huge arrows, pieces of golden soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

While launching the attack, countless torches were lit up in the originally dark camp of the Qin army. Immediately afterwards, Thunderbolt chariots fired fire bombs one after another, and the blazing fireballs drew bright and dazzling arcs of light in the night sky. When they fell on the snow or among the crowd, they exploded into groups of flames, instantly illuminating the dark wilderness, and many golden soldiers who were affected by the bursting flames also turned into struggling and screaming fire men.

If the Qin Army's first wave of arrow rain and Thunder Chariot's attack were just to estimate the distance of the target, then the firing of the fire bombs exposed the exact position of the Jin Bing, and the adjusted hit rate of the Qin Army's archers It also improved a lot.

In fact, the arrow array coverage does not require high accuracy, but the density and continuity of arrows is required. Only two to three waves of dense arrow rain coverage are needed, and the targets in this area are basically cleared.

The golden soldiers of the first attack echelon who were suddenly attacked violently were in a mess, some ran forward instinctively, some turned around and ran back, huddling together with their companions in the second attack echelon.

Without receiving the order to retreat, the Jin soldiers of the second attacking echelon could only bite the bullet and continue to advance. However, the tragic situation of their comrades in front made them tremble with fear, and the speed of advancement slowed down intentionally or unintentionally. No one wanted to enter the thunder battle. Killed within range of carts and arrows.

The earth-shattering rumble of war drums sounded behind him, which was the signal to charge. The golden soldiers had no choice but to continue forward and launched a formal charge to the Qin army's camp.

Arrows rained down, blood sprayed, huge arrows with thick arms roared, blood mist sprayed, stumps and broken arms flew, but there were still many brave tribal fighters who rushed through the death blockade and jumped into the trench , and launched a close hand-to-hand combat with the Qin army guarding behind the ice wall.

At this moment, a rumbling sound of thunder suddenly sounded from the sky, and the earth shook suddenly.
