Born short-lived

122 Empty City

"Retreat three hundred miles?" Wang Sheng looked at him in surprise, "Are you going to abandon the city?"

Dong Sheng smiled strangely, and said in a low voice: "As you said, a city without help cannot be defended, let alone an empty city. There is a saying that cannot be broken nor established."

Wang Sheng squinted at him, his expression was gloomy, and after a long time he said tepidly, "I sent away all the remaining civilians two days ago...give me another half an hour, and I'll get Zhuo Take it with your family."

Dong Sheng hummed, didn't say anything more, then turned around and left.

"Report——" There was a long-pitched announcement from outside the camp. Before the end of the sound, a group of figures got into the tent and knelt on one knee, with an expression of surprise and joy on their faces, excited. Authentic: "Report to the general, the Huaxu people have abandoned the city and fled!"

"Abandon the city and flee?" General Sha'an was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted yet, "Can you see clearly?"

"Exactly!"

"..." But General Sha'an was not affected by his joyful emotions at all, instead he didn't know what to say.

"Okay!" Knight Enwei sat on the soft bed next to him with a big horse and a golden knife. He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and shouted to General Nasha'an happily, "It seems that the 50 troops have already stopped them. Let them know that in front of [-] spirit ghosts, any conspiracy is useless!"

And General Nasha'an had participated in the first battle of Huaxu's northern border, and he knew that it was not easy, so even after hearing the good news, his expression was not very good, and he reminded with a hint of worry: "But the one hundred thousand The army didn't come back either."

"The enemy is in the dark and we are clear. It is not surprising to fight to the death." Knight Enwei was obviously very dissatisfied with the general's disappointing words, frowning and sneering, "Besides, what is their situation now? What is our situation now? ?A [-] army is nothing to us, but to them it is nearly half of the force."

The general looked back at him and said, "Master Knight really thinks about the best in everything. How can you be sure that the enemy also lost a hundred thousand people at the same time?"

"The general is too timid!" Enwei raised his voice and turned back, "They are now facing 50 spirit ghosts! And our army still has 30 troops stationed in the northwest. This is a dead end! Salted fish Do you still want to stand up? They have to retreat if they retreat, or they have to retreat if they don’t retreat! The general must think clearly, if we can’t take the entire northern border before winter, our army will run out of food again.”

Enwei was furious with anxiety, but the general simply turned around and didn't look at him, out of sight and out of mind.

"Anyway, pass on the order first," the general said to the orderling soldier without any explanation, "Let the army stop attacking the city for now, and send a small force to find out the truth, and don't advance rashly."

"General, you are delaying the military plane!" Knight Enwei shouted hysterically, and took several pictures of the deployment map on the table, shaking the table, "As long as you win these three levels, it will be difficult for the Huaxu people." Turn over! The general is going to wait until they attack again?!"

"Lord Enwei doesn't know anything! When our army attacked Huaxu for the first time, it was tricked by him. Hundreds of thousands of people entered the empty city and were ambushed. Almost none of them survived. Now if the enemy is really defeated It’s okay for our army to wait another hour or two,” General Sha’an tried his best to persuade, “My lord, I only need two hours. If there is no abnormality in the city, it will not be too late for our army to enter.”

The general turned his head and stared at him, his eyes were unusually determined. Although his words were still polite, Enwei always felt that he could taste a hint of threat from his eyes that were staring like copper bells.

Enwei swallowed, and said angrily: "Then if something goes wrong, I hope the general can take care of it by himself!"

General Sha'an said coldly: "Never drag the knight down."

Enwei snorted coldly, stood up from the soft bed with a "bass", and walked out angrily.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, the gates of the three gates were smashed, the army was stationed outside the gates, and only five thousand spirit ghosts were sent into the city in three groups to spy on the enemy.

As a result, less than half an hour after entering, there were several deafening explosions in the pass, and the main battalion at the rear immediately ordered to withdraw the spirit ghosts, but an hour passed, and none of the five thousand spirit ghosts were able to escape. come out.

After the news was sent back to the main camp, the general was stunned to break out in a cold sweat during the dog days.The knight Envi, who had been yelling like a grasshopper before, finally shut up, and sat on the soft couch by the table with a pale complexion, staring intently at the deployment plan on the table. It seemed to burn two holes in the thin layer of paper.

"Insidious and cunning!" This was the first conclusive condemnation issued by Knight Envi after a long silence.

The general's face sank like water and he said: "Soldiers never tire of cheating."

Enwei slapped the table angrily: "Then what do you want to do?!"

"This city cannot be entered," the general said solemnly, as if recalling some terrible experience, his face turned slightly pale, "If they really repeat the old tricks...then there may not only be thousands of people buried in this city Psionic explosives, and psionic cannons...even ambushes, we will never stop until we are all brought in."

Enwei's eyes widened in surprise, and he silently swallowed his saliva: "You...are you serious?"

The general nodded: "The scouts in front came to report that there is not a single spiritual cannon left on the city gate, and not only the spiritual cannon, but all the spiritual weapons on the city wall have been transported away, my lord knight...how did you Have you ever seen someone run away like this?"

"..." Enwei thought about it carefully, and felt more and more creepy, "Then general, what do we do now? We can't stand still, can we?"

The general frowned and pondered for a while, then said in a low voice: "Go around and attack from both wings."

Enwei rolled his eyes, clapped his hands immediately, and said decisively: "Okay! Just do what the general said!"

In the tower of Daomaguan, Dong Sheng took off the white crystal lens in front of his left eye, rubbed the center of his brows: "Tsk, don't take the bait."

Sitting next to him and helping him pour a glass of cold water, Wang Sheng didn't look surprised at all, rolled his eyes and said: "Do the same old trick again, I'm not a fool... Now it's all right, if they can't get through these three levels, you can't get in." Can't go back."

Dong Sheng drank a glass of cold water in one gulp, felt a chill in his heart, smiled and said: "That's not good, before they defended the city exhaustedly and they attacked the city desperately, now we don't defend Instead, they won’t attack.”

"My little grandpa, please be more careful," Wang Sheng rolled his eyes to the top of the sky, and poured another glass for Dong Sheng impatiently, "What if someone takes a detour to attack us? Have you ever thought about it?" ? You don't want to back down anymore, there are not many people in the north where you can fight casually, and if you go south to a place with a lot of people, your life will be ruined."

Dong Sheng picked up the cup and shook it, and said in a calm manner: "If they don't make a detour to attack, it will be difficult."

Xiangsheng was slightly startled, unable to figure out what he meant for a moment, but just as Dong Sheng was about to explain, a small soldier outside suddenly knocked on the door.

Past life asked: "What's wrong?"

The little soldier outside the door said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Mr. Zhuo Sheng, Mr. Zhuo asked to see... He said that he has read the book of war, and I hope the two adults will test it for themselves."

Wang Sheng frowned and said angrily: "No see!"

Dong Sheng raised his eyebrows, gloated and said cheerfully: "Hey, aren't you afraid of hurting people's self-esteem?"

"The boy is ignorant, so how can we let him mess around." Xiang said mercilessly, like a pig iron bread lord, "Now that the big battle is imminent, what is the test, you have to let him know what is the time and what is the occasion."

Dong Sheng nodded in agreement, saying that this cold ass was really wonderful.

"By the way," Wang Sheng seemed to be thinking of something, showing embarrassment, lowered his voice and asked nervously, "You...couldn't you really plant explosives in the city?"

Dong Sheng took a sip of cold water, sighed and said, "How can you...then you also believe it? I'm not crazy, how can I plant explosives on my own territory?"

Xiangsheng narrowed his eyes: "Then..."

Dong Sheng said: "Tear off the cannon frame and stick it to the ground."

Anyway, no one went in to see.

That night, the spirit ghost army divided into two groups, [-] detours from the western pass, and another [-] detours from the eastern plain.

However, the mountain road to the west is rugged, and even if the army of spirit ghosts worked tirelessly, it took a day and a half to reach the Pian Pass—but at this time, there were already ambushes waiting for them to arrive at Pian Pass.

After all, Sha'an is an outsider to Hua Xu, no matter how strong he is, he is still unfamiliar with his life, let alone those spirit ghosts who never have to think.After the third pass, there are many mountains and valleys between Pianguan and Ningwuguan, which is the easiest place to set up an ambush. The total number of people Dongsheng sent to Pianguan and Ningwuguan in advance is worth [-]. With four or two strokes of a thousand catties, those hundred thousand spirit ghosts can be beaten to pieces.

But spirit ghosts don't pass on news, and the Sha'an people don't have gray pigeons, so the scouts made two trips back and forth to send the news back to the main camp at the rear—and it was already two days later.

The Sha'an people didn't have time to recall the [-] spirit ghosts who detoured from the eastern plain. When the order to retreat just came down, the [-] spirit ghosts had already fought with Huaxu's main force.
