On top of the city, Xu Shenji said to Cheng Dalei.
Cheng Dalei looked over and saw that the Rong tribe was dismantling their tents. This was indeed a sign of breaking out of camp.
"Master, why don't we rush out and kill him before they are ready?" Xu Shenji.
Cheng Dalei shook his head. The reason for his denial was not only because this suggestion was made by Xu Shenji. Standing at the top of the city, his eyes looked at the poplar tree on Niujiao Peak. The poplar tree did not move, and Cheng Dalei did not move.
They watched helplessly as the Rong tribe set up camp and disappeared from sight without a trace.
"Master, give the order to chase them. If you don't chase them, they will run away." Xu Shenji.
"Don't worry, they want to lure us out."
"Luring the enemy?"
Cheng Dalei nodded and looked at the poplar trees on Niujiao Peak.
The top of the poplar tree shifted, like a javelin, pointing at the marching position of the Rong people in the distance. He and Cheng Dalei had predicted well. The opponent's retreat was indeed a trick to lure troops. As soon as they were out of sight, the marching speed slowed down.
Already.
"Go down and open the city gate?"
"The boss wants to send troops."
"What kind of troops are there..." Cheng Dalei spat: "When they come back, hurry up, prepare more crossbows and heavy stones, and prepare to entertain them well."
The army moved forward, but Chimei kept an eye on the movement behind him.
"Have they chased them out?"
"not yet."
"Explore again!"
Chi Mei was beating her heart, why didn't the other side chase them out? Given the great success of the empire, seeing that their own troops retreated, it was time to go out of the city to pursue and defeat the defeated troops. And once they fought out, the field field belonged to the Rong tribe.
But why are they so calm this time?
"Prince, could it be that they saw through it?" Tuoman.
"How is it possible? They don't have clairvoyance. How can they tell whether we are returning goods for real or fake?"
"Then why haven't they come out yet..."
"If we wait a little longer, even if they don't come out, once they become careless, we'll just kill them in one fell swoop."
After leading the army in circles in the mountains, Chimei finally found an open place to camp, but from the beginning to the end, they had not yet left the Qingniu Mountain range.
Red Eyebrow has been sending people to watch every move in Toad Village. It seems that they are scared out of their wits now. Even if they retreat, they dare not come out. Of course, this is also in line with the character of the Imperial people.
Now, what Chimei is waiting for is not for them to send troops, but for them to relax.
"Report! They seem to be celebrating!"
"Report! The number of guards on their city gate has been reduced to a hundred!"
"Report! The number of guards has dropped to fifty."
"Report! There are only a dozen defenders at the top of the city. The city gate is open and they are collecting weapons outside the city gate."
When he received the last piece of information, Chimei was chewing on dried meat. When the information came over, he stood up with a sigh.
"Go! Attack the city with me and kill them all!"
The Rong tribe has extremely strong mobility, which is one of the things that the empire cannot compare with. From the time the army assembled to the time they arrived outside the gate of Toad Village, the process did not take more than half an hour.
Everything and the information obtained were good. The city gate was open, and there were only a dozen defenders. When they saw the army coming, they opened their eyes wide and had a look of fear on their faces.
Unexpectedly! I didn’t leave at all, I came to kill you again.
This annoying nail can finally be pulled out today.
Red Eyebrow's general Tuoman took the lead and rushed over, roaring wildly.
"Kill, kill!"
Tuoman broke into the city gate with a dozen riders.
Red Eyebrow was overjoyed, this city was in ruins! The next step was to do what she was familiar with and good at: massacre the city.
"Warriors on the grassland, follow me to kill!" Chimei shouted, brandishing his sword.
Suddenly, something happened.
The open city gate suddenly closed, separating Tuoman from the large army. There were originally only a dozen defenders above the city gate, but in an instant, heads emerged from under the battlements, and the crowd on top of the city was filled with darkness.
What greeted them were crossbow arrows, heavy stones, gunpowder, and boiled dung.
No, I fell into a trap!
Chimei yelled out this timeless classic line. He recalled the expressions of the defenders just now and suddenly realized that their mouths were wide open, expressing not the fearful "Why are you here", but the passionate and joyful "
You are here."
And they have already prepared something to entertain the distinguished guests.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Chimei brandished his sword and shouted, but did he still have time to retreat?
Countless corpses fell down around them, people flipped on their backs and their horses fell to the ground, screaming in agony. Horses trampled their belly, blood poured out of their cavities, and their limbs were separated from the body.
Within the city.
As soon as Tuoman rushed into the city, he was tripped by a spear and knocked off his horse's hoof, followed by a group of people who rushed forward with sharp swords.
"Master, do you want to stay alive?" Xu Shenji.
"What's left to live for?" Cheng Dalei covered his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, waved his hand and said, "Kill with a bow and arrow."
Looking at Cheng Dalei's appearance, Xu Shenji suddenly realized that Cheng Dalei's focus was not on "killing", but on the embroidered handkerchief in his hand.
"Master, your handkerchief is very exquisitely embroidered, isn't it?"
"Is there any..." Cheng Dalei pretended not to care and said, "Su Ying embroidered these. I don't like to use these."
Outside the city, after paying a huge price, Chimei took the remaining defeated soldiers under his command and evacuated from the city gate.
Even he was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, so one can imagine the miserable condition of the others.
He stared at the top of the city, with great hatred in his eyes, and his face was only ferocious, without the usual laziness.
Cheng Dalei walked up to the top of the city, embroidered handkerchief and pursed his lips: "The visitor is a guest. Are you satisfied with the meal I served?"
"Dog thief!" Chimei gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill you with a thousand knives!"
"You are really an uneducated barbarian by saying hurtful words." Cheng Dalei curled his lips: "But, we are a country of etiquette. Even when we treat barbaric guests, we must maintain etiquette and demeanor. This is a farewell gift for you, take it back.
"
Whoosh...
An object was thrown from Cheng Dalei's hand, and Gululu rolled to the bottom of the city. It was Tuoman's head. His eyes were wide open and his teeth were clenched. Even though he was dead, he still maintained a ferocious appearance.
"Tuoman!" He stared at Cheng Dalei with red eyebrows and blood-red eyes: "Thief, you..."
"Stop! What qualifications does a defeated general have to bark in front of me?" Cheng Dalei said every word, as if knocking on the red eyebrow's heart: "You have been defeated."
The siege lasted for nearly 20 days, with 10,000 cavalry attacking 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people. Chimei failed to capture every plant or tree in Toad Village, but instead suffered heavy casualties on his own side. Today, there are only more than 4,000 survivors among his troops.
"Those who jump from the beam will be poked even if they are strong, and those who offend our mountains and rivers will be punished even if they are far away. You animals wearing fur and horns, wearing hair and drinking blood, still dare to dream of national weapons. If heaven does not come to punish you today, I will punish you!" Cheng Dalei said sternly, and finally
Waving his hand: "Besides, you're not strong enough."
puff!
Immediately, Chimei suddenly vomited blood and fainted.
Hey, does this count as the eloquence skill taking effect?
