Chapter 1237 The deception of you coming and going
Yudi came to inquire about the details of the battle immediately and found a problem: "According to what you said, Tan Shang is not here."
He didn't care why Xie Peng was fighting so hard or whether Ding Kui was more powerful than before, but he was more concerned about the composition of the opponent's personnel.
"I've been keeping an eye on the area. It's true that no one is ambushing me. I'm afraid Tan Shang is really not in Matu City." Kou Zimo also noticed this.
Haotong calmed down and analyzed: "The weather now is suitable for water magicians to fight. If he takes action, we will definitely not get good results.
If he is not here, he can only be in Kuaihe City, which shows that Ding Kui has no intention of giving up Kuaihe City, and with today's actions, he may really have a plot against the acting commander."
Yudi lowered his head, stared at his toes, and quickly deduced in his mind. He couldn't get rid of these sixth-level combatants, so he could only focus on other methods.
"We didn't see Tan Shang when we came from Kuaihe City. Why did he hide in the city?" Yan Ce didn't understand. "He is the weak side there. It is unlikely that he will use the forbidden spell to sneak attack. At most, he will confuse us.
Sight, causes us to make wrong judgments.”
"Yes, the enemy's purpose is to confuse us!" Yudi raised his head, "We cannot be led by the nose. Instead of trying every means to guess the enemy's thoughts, it is better to let the enemy guess ours."
Haotong sat upright and asked, "What good idea do you have?" In fact, he didn't have high expectations in his heart. He had never seen Yudi take advantage of Ding Kui.
"The enemy can mobilize troops and horses, and so can we. Now we will transfer 10,000 people from the North Camp to the South Camp. Then I will send the 22nd North Division southward with great fanfare, ostensibly to support the Second North Army Corps, but in fact let them return to the South Camp at night."
Yudi's tone became firmer and firmer as he spoke.
"Well, a feint shot can scare Ding Kui. The troops who are attacking are afraid of being counterattacked. This can at least put psychological pressure on Ding Kui." Haotong thought this approach was feasible.
Our army moved, and soldiers and horses from the north and south camps moved south. Some soldiers sprinkled water outside the military camp and turned the wooden fence into an ice wall. This was mainly to defend against the Shaodian Army's new weapon-*.
There was no response from Shaodian's army. Yudi was not worried that they did not know that his own scouts within the confines of Matu City were no match for Shaodian's army.
Yudi did not simply mobilize two divisions, but also asked other divisions to run back and forth between the north and south camps. He just wanted the soldiers to run to warm up and save some firewood in the camp.
In this way, the actions of the 22nd Northern Division can be disguised and used to cover up fake actions. Yudi tried his best and was determined to deceive Ding Kui.
The large-scale mobilization did not end until nightfall. It is dark, so be careful with Ding Kui!
No one is willing to fight Ding Kui at night. Someone has made statistics and found that Ding Kui killed more people at night than during the day. This shows that Ding Kui is the darling of the demon clan and is good at night fighting.
Of course, this is a deliberate statement to smear Ding Kui. People in our country can’t wait for the Grand Alliance to send people to treat Ding Kui as a demon.
When Ding Kui heard this, he said disdainfully: "Then I will kill more people from my country during the day."
"The enemy seems to be making some movement." Kou Zimo was the first to notice the problem.
In order to prevent Ding Kui from leading a night attack, our three sixth-level combatants were arranged to take turns on duty at night. They could at least discover the enemy's whereabouts in advance.
Kou Zimo was on duty in the middle of the shift. Since there was no movement, he ran out for a walk. It was during this walk that he noticed a fire on the west side of Matu City, and it seemed that a large number of troops were marching.
Yudi habitually asked: "The enemy army went west? How many people are there? Can you confirm it?"
"How do I know!" Kou Zimo showed a disgusted expression.
The west side of Matu City is considered the enemy's rear. It is very dangerous to conduct reconnaissance behind the enemy's rear. Even the great archer may not be able to escape unscathed. Don't forget that the "Demon's Darling" is here.
Yudi lowered his face but did not dare to get angry, and said to himself: "Should we go around to Kwai Ho City from the west? This can avoid our eyes and ears? No, no, no, they may go around to the north to attack Beidaying.
"
He said that he did not want to be led by the enemy. But once the enemy made any changes, he had to respond passively.
"Come here, please order the Beida Camp to strengthen vigilance, especially to the west and north."
At the same time, the own troops in Kwai Hop City also made similar discoveries.
"The enemy troops entered the city only in the evening, and now there are enemy troops leaving the city?" Dai Gu was confused.
He could confirm the news from Yudi that the enemy troops heading south from Matu City entered Kuaihe City under his nose.
The strength of the Second Northern Army Corps was still intact. He was not afraid of 20,000 to 30,000 enemy troops coming to steal the camp. But why did the enemy march at night when he was in good condition?
"Could it be that the enemy troops are trying to escape?" Gong Yelei analyzed according to normal logic, "It's not like the enemy troops came to Bei County to fight with our troops. They probably just wanted to grab some property. Now that they have succeeded, why bother to fight with our troops?"
Continue to fight hard? Ding Kui is going to withdraw his troops!"
Dai Kui disagreed and said: "If our army had just arrived at that time, this analysis would make sense, but now that the First Northern Army Corps has been destroyed, the Third Northern Army Corps can only protect itself. If Ding Kui repels my troops,
Then there will be no troops to stop his invasion in the short term, and he will not give up such a good opportunity."
"Let me go and see what's going on." Ban Tu stood up, anticipating that it would take a long time to analyze and find out the truth.
This time Dai Gu and Gong Yelei both agreed to let Ban Tu go to investigate.
The wind and snow are much lighter tonight, with occasional snowflakes falling from the sky. The wind is not strong, and even the snow that bends the treetops cannot be blown.
Banda effortlessly opened the ice shield and flew freely in the wind and snow, as if he had become the master of the sky, and every snowflake could convey his feelings.
When he was about to fly over Kwai Ho City, a chill suddenly rose in his heart, a bad omen! He immediately slowed down and spread his mental energy around.
Sure enough, as it swept over the tower, it hit another spiritual force.
The enemy's forbidden law!
"Haha, there are guests coming!"
A green light flashed from the tower, and a figure rose simultaneously with the sound.
"So you are hiding here." Ban Tu recognized the owner of that spiritual power, Tan Shang. He had fought with Tan Shang in Nanqiu County and they were familiar with each other.
"Master Ben, there are troops of the Eighth Army here, how can I hide here? You haven't shown up in the past few days." Tan Shang also held out an ice shield and floated in the air.
These two are both forbidden magicians of the water system. There is no advantage or disadvantage in the wind and snow. They are a well-matched pair.
"Is there any action tonight? I need to trouble you to be there in person in the middle of the night." He knew that he couldn't easily find out the enemy's situation tonight.
"Yes, I'm going to sneak attack your camp. Do you think I'll let you go?" Tan Shang has been with the army for many years, so don't expect it to be so easy to get him out of his mouth.
Ban Tu retreated a distance, not daring to be careless. After all, this place was closer to the enemy camp, and help would arrive faster.
"Don't I know what you are capable of? You two can't keep me." He spoke with great force.
"Then give it a try!" Tan Shang turned over his hand and took out his magic wand, and the magic core on the wand's head suddenly lit up.
The next step is to practice water magic. The two forbidden magic tricks are almost the same. There are blue lights flashing in the air, ice arrows, ice spikes, ice balls, etc. flying around. They basically use low-level magic.
From a visual point of view, their fight was very exciting. Almost all the magic of turning water into ice appeared. The two were almost the same in terms of the level of manipulating the energy of heaven and earth, and they would not abandon the active energy of ice.
Judging from the actual combat results, they both dealt 0 damage. Forbidden spells with similar strength fought each other. It was difficult to determine the winner for days and nights.
There was a bright fire on the tower, and there was a lot of noise, and it seemed like soldiers were gathering.
"I'm leaving, do you want to follow me?" Ban Tu began to think about retreating.
"The outcome has not yet been decided, so don't leave!" Tan Shang had no intention of stopping.
When Ban Tu heard this, he became more determined to leave. He blew an ice blast in front of Tan Shang, then turned around and flew away.
However, Tan Shang chased after him relentlessly, constantly shooting ice arrows in an attempt to slow down Ban Tu.
The two of them chased each other and fled, flying some distance away. Seeing a place where Shaodian's army could not come, Ban Tu confirmed that it was safe and turned back to fight again.
Sailor versus sailor, who is afraid of whom?
After about half an hour of fierce fighting, Tan Shang probably realized that there was no result and said, "Just wait here while I call for help."
"Just call me and I can clean it up together."
The two of them exchanged the last move before stopping. Tan Shang flew back to Kwai Ho City. Ban Tu would not wait foolishly, so he naturally flew back to the camp.
"Ding Kui really wants to withdraw!" Gong Yelei became more determined after listening to Ban Tu's story.
"What happened tonight is full of doubts. You said that Tan Shang deliberately prevented Master Ban from inquiring about the military situation. Then why did we let our scouts detect the enemy's troops leaving the city at night? Wouldn't it be easier for Tan Shang to deal with a few scouts? Ding Kui is good at deception. , I used the trick of pretending to retreat and actually ambush in Beiluan County." Dai Gu was still frightened.
His idea was very simple. There was no time limit for driving Ding Kui away. As long as he stabilized his position and retained the strength of the Northern Route Army, he would be able to force Ding Kui to evacuate sooner or later. There was no need to take huge risks for a small victory.
Thinking that he had lost the First Army of the North when he took the initiative to fight, his heart felt as if a sword had been stabbed, and the pain often kept him awake at night.
Regardless of any changes in Shaodian's army, Dai Guzi stood firm and stood firm in the barracks, refusing to send troops out at night despite any words.
Gong Yelei did not argue with reason. It was his duty to make suggestions, and the final decision had to be made by others. He recorded everything in a file and submitted it to the staff after the war. The merits and demerits were left to the staff to decide.
This is the right of the chief of staff, and it is also the reason why all commanders cannot ignore the chief of staff.
The influence of the Ding family of the Shaodian Kingdom in the military is so great because they have been in charge of the staff for a long time. They have to endorse whoever fights well or not.
After finally staying up until dawn, Gong Yelei took the initiative to apply to lead the scouts out of the camp to personally inquire about the enemy's situation, but Daigu did not refuse.
Gong Yelei led a hundred cavalrymen, and after leaving the camp, they went straight to the south gate of Kwai Ho City. They did not observe secretly like ordinary scouts, but walked the main road openly.
The one hundred cavalrymen were on tenterhooks, fearing that an enemy force would appear from somewhere and steal their retreat.
