Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although Han Sui didn't know how many elite forces General Zhengdong had in Qinchuan City, according to his estimates, it should be only four or five hundred thousand, and now there are almost more than 200,000 killed in battle, and it would be good to have 300,000 left.
If it is to attack the city now, with the defense of the opponent's 300,000 army and sufficient logistics support personnel, it is impossible to take Qinchuan City without six or seven days. But now that the war in the Meiyang area is urgent, he is unwilling to wait any longer.
After discussing with another of his confidant generals, Cheng Gongying, Han Sui decided to leave two million troops to continue the siege of Qinchuan City, and then they personally led nearly five million troops to take Chencang City in the southeast as quickly as possible. And in Chencang City, resurrect the soldiers who died in battle to replenish their combat effectiveness, and at the same time, they can also wait for the resurrected Inhumans to rush to join them. When you regain a certain strength, you can attack Meiyang City.
On the morning of the next day, Han Sui left Qinchuan City with an army of five million, leaving Cheng Gongying to lead the army to besiege Qinchuan.
……
After Han Sui left, Cheng Gongying did not order the siege of the city, but let all the camps form a defensive formation and trap the army in Qinchuan City. And the army to which Sunshine belonged in Qinchuan City also did not move, but there were still countless troops standing on the city wall.
That night, the army under the command of Cheng Gongying encountered a particularly frightening thing, many people saw many translucent figures wandering around their camps, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but those figures were filled with a gloomy atmosphere, which made people panic at a glance!
Cheng Gongying heard about the rumors in the army the next day, but he scoffed at these rumors because of his strength, and he didn't believe in the ghosts and gods. However, there is no wind and no waves, this truth Cheng Gongying still understands very well, he feels that this incident may be the ghost of the soldiers under General Zhengdong, so Cheng Gongying ordered the army to tighten its vigilance and increase the number of people patrolling at night, in order to capture these sneaky people in one fell swoop, and the army has made up his mind.
Cheng Gongying's prestige in Han Sui's army was very high, so under his strong suppression, the panic about the suspected ghost became much lower.
However, at night, the illusory ghosts that appeared last night reappeared, and many people saw these phantoms that suddenly appeared from a distance. It's just that these things have appeared for a short time, and by the time they want to chase them, they have disappeared, leaving no trace.
Suddenly, there was a scream of intense terror outside the tent on the east side, and then there was no sound.
When a large number of soldiers arrived at the place where the sound came, they found a patrol team of ten people lying on the ground, all of them with wide eyes and eyes full of fear.
What's even more bizarre is that they failed to find any wounds on the bodies of these people, and these people died in such an unknown way.
Cheng Gongying also rushed over quickly, and on the way here, he already knew the situation here, and his face turned a little dark at this time. After all, during the day, he ordered to increase patrols, intending to catch the enemy hiding in the shadows. But now not only did these strange figures fail to catch, but they also lost more than a dozen people on their side, and the way they died was still so weird. Isn't that a slap in the face?
At the scene, Cheng Gongying didn't say anything, after all, in this case, no matter what he said, he couldn't dispel the panic in the hearts of his corporaries. He just gave a gag order to the surrounding troops, strictly forbidding them to spread what was happening here.
At the same time, Cheng Gongying asked people to find him, and he wanted to know the specific cause of death of these people.
Soon, two servants were found, and in a closed camp, Cheng Gongying asked these two servants to examine all the corpses, but the result also shocked him, because according to the situation found by the soldiers, these soldiers died of normal or excessive fright, and there were no injuries inside or outside the body, and there were no signs of poisoning.
The two of them were also very frank, after all, they had too many dealings with corpses, and many things that ordinary people couldn't accept might be normal in their eyes.
It's just that Cheng Gongying's mood is not very calm now, although he still believes that these soldiers did not die at the hands of some ghosts, but he also can't give a reasonable explanation. In the past, he asked people to come for an autopsy, which was to pin his hopes on the inside of the corpse, hoping to find out the cause of death. It's just that now it seems that his wish has been frustrated. Not only that, but if the results here get out, I'm afraid it will cause even more panic.
In desperation, Cheng Gongying had to make up a more plausible reason, that is, these patrol soldiers died of a deadly poison, and at the same time, the two servants unified their caliber with him. Although this statement also frightens the soldiers, it is insignificant compared to the fear of the unknown.
In fact, Cheng Gongying felt that these patrol soldiers were likely to die from a spiritual attack skill, but most of the spiritual attack skills could only be mastered by warlocks. However, if this matter was done by a warlock, I am afraid that no one will believe it, because with the melee ability of a warlock, rushing into the enemy's camp is tantamount to looking for death. What's more, how to explain the phantom that has been seen by countless people? In dim light, a powerful Ranger or Assassin can only see an afterimage with his incredible speed, but Warlock does not have that ability.
Of course, if he went out directly like this and told the soldiers outside, I am afraid that few people would believe it, so in order to make his argument more convincing, Cheng Gongying asked Cheng Gongying to smear poison on some parts of the corpse to make it look more like he died of poisoning. It's just that this kind of poison smeared after death can only cause some changes in the epidermis, and will not penetrate deep into the flesh and blood.
But Cheng Gongying has no better way now, he only does not let others touch these corpses, but only allows some people to see them and then burn them. Although this will make the soldiers have some doubts, it is much better than empty words.
Besides, the main thing now is not how to fool your own soldiers, but to find out the enemy hiding in the shadows. However, Cheng Gongying is still very confident in this.
Then, Cheng Gongying walked out of the camp, and the two servants followed out with a corpse.
Cheng Gongying immediately gathered the soldiers who were at the scene of the incident just now, and then pointed to the corpse and said: "Everyone, just now I have asked people to verify the cause of the death of these soldiers, they were poisoned to death by people from the despicable imperial forces. As far as I know, General Sunshine is a person who is proficient in stealth skills, and I think it must have been Sunshine himself who sneaked in, used some ways to confuse everyone's vision, and then carried out a surprise attack on this patrol team, which caused them to lose their name on the spot. ”
After speaking, Cheng Gongying asked the two servants to break open and lift out some of the dissected parts of the corpse, and the blackened flesh inside was indeed a sign of poisoning.
Seeing the expressions of these many soldiers, who seemed to believe his words, Cheng Gongying immediately said: "Actually, it is not difficult to deal with stealth skills, as long as we lay traps around, this sunshine stealth skill will naturally be useless." At that time, he will not be able to infiltrate even our camp, let alone rush in and poison our army. I will arrange this trap at once, and when the time comes, you will help you, and if you can capture the sun in one fell swoop, I will report to the great leader and reward you. ”
As soon as Cheng Gongying finished speaking, the surrounding soldiers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if they could really find out the enemy hidden in the shadows, that would be the most convincing proof. What's more, they also trust Cheng Gongying's words very much, because under Cheng Gongying's command, there is a special team that can arrange traps.
……
During the day of the second day, Cheng Gongying ordered the more than a dozen trap masters under his command to bring enough pills to restore their internal strength and set traps on the main nodes of the camp, and the required materials were also specially carried by the soldiers. Naturally, the efficiency is incredibly fast.
The rebel players who stayed outside Qinchuan City had also heard about what happened two nights before, and many of them even saw it with their own eyes. Although it is said that it is in the game, they are still a little panicked, after all, the game is too real, and it is even more creepy than watching a horror movie in the real world. In reality, they might be able to console themselves with the argument that there are no ghosts or gods in the world, but in the gaming world, this statement is completely unreliable. After all, this game is not something that can be explained by science in the first place, and you want to say that the ghosts and gods in the game are unscientific? Let's fool the hell!
Cheng Gongying's explanation was also heard by the players last night, but these players would not follow orders like NPC soldiers, and soon after leaving, they spread the news in private. Of course, in order not to let the Baiyun City army in the city know the specific situation within them, no one poked these things to the forum, and all the players knew the news by word of mouth.
These players are also skeptical of Cheng Gongying's explanation, but one thing is certain, that is, this matter is definitely done by Sunshine or his subordinates, after all, this matter is too coincidental, and it is difficult to explain otherwise. Therefore, they are still quite confident that Cheng Gongying ordered the trap master to set a trap throughout the camp, although this trap cannot be caught by real ghosts, but it is no problem to catch the people who move ghosts and gods.
