The war drums in Qiao Ren's heart were as anxious as raindrops, but the war drums outside the city were very soothing, and the calm rhythm was not very exciting, but they beat on everyone's hearts one by one. There were no torches outside the city, it was pitch black, and although Qiao Ren had gathered enough eyesight, he still couldn't see the situation in the distance. He could only see a faint black shadow, and knew that the enemy was arranging a formation, but he didn't know how big the enemy's formation was. The figures are mixed with the night, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and it seems that even the shadows of the mountains in the distance are shaking.

The slow sound of war drums has not stopped, and the faint sound of footsteps has not stopped, Qiao Ren felt as if his heart was pressed by a big stone, and then another stone was added, and another stone was added, and the stone kept going up, trying to crush his whole person, the whole city.

An invisible enemy, but with a greater deterrent.

Wei Ba must be playing tricks, he must be a small number of people, so he didn't dare to show the torch. Qiao Ren said to himself nervously, bursts of cold sweat poured out from his forehead, and he was blown by the night breeze, and his whole body was cold. He didn't know whether he was comforting himself or the people around him, but he knew that it was impossible, if he didn't have enough troops, Wei Ba couldn't have come to besiege the city overnight, and it wouldn't be just to scare him.

The more he thought about it, the more pressure Qiao Ren's psychology became. He kept walking around the walls, checking the city's defenses once more. He forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, loudly boosted morale, and although his voice trembled a little, he still roared loudly, reminding every soldier to prepare for battle.

However, the more he walked, the more nervous he became. The more I walked, the more panicked I became. He found that there were enemies not only in the east of the city, but also in the south and west of the city. When he came to the north gate, he was horrified to find that there were also those in the north of the city, and there seemed to be more of them, a black oppression, guided by the monotonous sound of war drums, mixed with the night. Form a large array with no end in sight.

How many enemies are there? Qiao Ren didn't know. He didn't dare to think about it. Looking at the empty flat ground outside the city, he couldn't breathe.

I don't know how long it took, but the drum beat suddenly changed, and two accents suddenly interrupted the rhythm that had been playing for an unknown amount of time.

"Knock knock!" Qiao Ren felt. In an instant. His heart seemed unable to withstand the tremendous pressure. As the drum exploded, the beating stopped. He looked at the boundless darkness, and fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

on the city walls. There was a dead silence, only heavy gasps. All Wu Jun, like Qiao Ren, was choked by the invisible fear. Rumors drifted through the city like a gust of wind before they knew it. They all know that the one who will attack Chenyang today and in the future is the invincible enemy like a myth, that person, who defeated all his enemies, half a year ago, he played with the auxiliary general; Half a month ago, he defeated the right general Buqi; Five days earlier, he had killed the Zhennan general Lü Dai; Now, he is standing under Chenyang City.

Will Chenyang City be able to stop him from moving forward? No one knows the answer, but they know it well and they will know it soon.

"Raise the fire—" A sharp sound suddenly sounded in the darkness, breaking the deathly silence of the city and attracting everyone's attention. Qiao Ren and the soldiers at the head of the city looked at the place where the sound started. It was pitch black, and they couldn't see what was there, but suddenly, a torch lit, less than two hundred paces away from them, less than a hundred paces beyond the moat.

A torch suddenly appeared in the dark night, like a light type, tearing through the darkness. The torches swayed in the night wind, as if they had life, jubilation, encouragement, and leaping, as if they were about to break free from their shackles and leap into the sky.

Tightly, on either side of this torch, two more torches lit up, followed by two more, and then two.

The torches quickly spread to the sides, and one by one the torches lit up, illuminating the warriors who were fully armed and ready to fight under the torches.

While the torches extend to both sides, they begin to extend into the distance, from one row to two, from two rows to three rows, from three rows to four rows, and spread more and more, farther and farther, until the limit of Shili.

Just in front of Wu Jun, outside the city, where he couldn't see his fingers, turned from a torch to a row of torches, from a row of torches to countless torches, countless torches lit up the sky, illuminated the wilderness outside the city, and illuminated countless warriors standing in the wilderness.

Qiao Ren was stunned and inexplicably frightened, he threw himself to the side of the city wall, and with all his eyes, he carefully examined the soldiers under the torches. He suspected that these people were not real people at all, but dummies. However, everything he saw collapsed him, everyone he could see should be real people, everyone was wearing the same standard armor as Wu Jun, everyone was holding a torch in one hand and a long knife or spear in the other, and they were lined up in a phalanx until the edge of the sky.

That's tens of thousands? Is this really just the person Wei Ba brought from Longyan Beach? Could he really be some kind of god general, who can scatter beans into soldiers?

Qiao Ren's sweat was raining, he felt that both legs were weak, and he didn't know how to face all this. He only hoped that the heralds sent out before would be able to rush out and send the news of the enemy's siege to Lu Xun's hands. But he knew very well that Lu Xun was thirty miles away from him, and even if he came to help, it would be after dawn.

However, he had no confidence in whether he would survive until dawn.

He was stunned by the almost miraculous way of appearing. He looked at the command vehicle in the enemy's formation, which was taller than the city wall, and couldn't understand how the enemy could carry such a tall thing to the front of the formation.

Wei Ba stood on the high platform, looking down on Chenyang City. Behind and around him, there was a sea of torches, each of which represented a warrior who was about to go into battle.

This is the result he hopes to cause, and this is the impression he hopes to make on the Wu army at the head of the city. In fact, every soldier in the city knew that there were only two thousand three hundred people here, and they were all gathered at the front of the large array. In fact, from the tenth row onwards, it was all dummies made of bamboo strips. The east and west of the city are farther away from the city, and there are almost no real people, except for those who are responsible for lighting the torches.

It was as far as the eye could see, and Wei Ba had made many people verify that at such a distance, the Wu army at the head of the city could not see whether it was a real person or a dummy. Because these dummies are wearing all genuine Wu Army-style armor. The one in his hand is also a real weapon. These are the trophies won by Wei Ba in the battles of the past dynasties, especially after defeating Wei Jing in Qingshuitan, he captured a large number of battle armor, and now all of them are used here, forming a grand array of true and false nine.

He carefully chose the distance and the placement of the torches, so as to ensure that the Wu army at the head of the city could not see the truth or falsehood. People have a mental inertia that when they are convinced that an enemy within their sight is real, they are accustomed to thinking that an enemy in the distance is also real. What's more, they originally had a kind of psychology, how could they attack the city if the number was too small? Since it's here. That's certainly true.

It's an adventure. But it is an adventure that is almost perfectly prepared from psychology to details.

Wei Ba sat in this boundless array, as if there were really thousands of troops around him.

However, this can only deceive the Wu army at the head of the city, but not enough to deceive the soldiers under the city. They couldn't see the other side of the wall. The drama directed by Wei Ba is not over yet.

"Drumming. Notify reinforcements. ”

"Whoa." Wei Xing waved the bunting. The order was given. The drummer beat the war drums violently, and the drums broke through the darkness and soared into the sky.

In the wilderness north of the city. Zhao Tong sat on the tall command car, closed his eyes and pondered. Heisha and Hanru stood on both sides of him, looking at him anxiously, listening to the sound of war drums in the distance from time to time, they all heard the movement in the south of Chenyang City, they didn't know who was a friend, they could only wait for Zhao Tong's decision. They entered the position in the dark, completed the formation in the dark, listened to the war drums in the south of the city, and saw the sky in the south of the city change from dark to bright, but they could not see the specific situation in the south of the city, and they did not even know whether it was an enemy or a companion. There was a fire in the east and west of the city, but it was also so far away that they could only see a torch, but they could not see any details.

Zhao Tong stood up and waved his hand: "Raise the fire." ”

"My lord, is the south of the city a reinforcement?" Heisha asked nervously.

"It's Wei Shizhong." Zhao Tong said expressionlessly.

"Is it Wei Shizhong?" Heisha was surprised and delighted: "He personally came to attack the city?" How many centaurs were brought? ”

"You'll be in the city later, won't you see it?" Zhao Tong smiled faintly, waved his hand, and interrupted Heisha's questioning.

Heisha didn't ask any more. After more than a month of getting along, he obeyed Zhao Tongyan, and admired Wei Ba even more. Now that they have the arrangement, he doesn't need to talk any more nonsense.

"Raise the fire."

"Yes, Sperm." A warrior of the Chenxi tribe rushed to the front of the battle and gave the order to raise fire.

The magical scene that has just been completed in the south of the city is once again staged in the north of the city. The first torch was like a kindling, spreading out in all directions, rapidly expanding into a sea of fire. Underneath each torch, there is a standing warrior. It's just that only the front of these warriors is real, and most of the back are dummies, and the dummies in front of them still have armor, and then there is only hay in the back, and from a distance, you can only see a vague figure, and you can't tell whether it is a real person or a dummy.

For the arrangement of using dummies to pretend to be troops, Heisha and the others were a little apprehensive, but Zhao Tong was as calm as water, and he told Heisha very easily, we are just suspicious soldiers, Wei Shizhong has gathered tens of thousands of troops, and we don't need to do it at all, we just need to contain the attention of the city.

Now, although they did not see the main force in the south of the city, they saw the sky illuminated by torches, and they were relieved at once. Lord Zhao is right, judging from this brightness, there are at least 20,000 people and horses brought by Wei Shizhong.

At the same time, I saw that the sky in the north of the city lit up, and the soldiers in the south of the city were also relieved. Although we are more fake and really less, there are not many friendly troops in the north of the city, and our total strength is enough to attack the city of Chenyang.

For the Wu army at the head of the city, this shock was doubled, there were countless enemies in the south and north of the city, with a total strength of no less than 20,000, and only 3,000 defenders, can they hold the city?

Qiao Ren held on to the city wall, his legs trembling, and his face turned pale.

At this moment, a person walked out of the large array in the south of the city, holding a torch and waving a white flag, all the way to the moat, and stopped. Two soldiers rushed out of the great array, and pushed a moat-filling cart into the moat, and the man calmly crossed the moat, came to the city, and cried out, "God will command, that the people of the city surrender at once, that they may not die." If you don't know the destiny of heaven and resist the heavenly soldiers, within an hour, you will wait for the jade to burn, and you will regret it too late! (To be continued......)
