Cthulhu

Chapter 211 Ambush on all sides
Cheng Cheng saw that his aunt was still a little puzzled, so he explained: "It is to mobilize all the troops to create the illusion of attacking the city. This will cause a kind of panic in the enemy's mind, and it is easy to break through the defense line. Only by causing enough damage to affect the opponent Only with the psychological momentum, can one hit win, and choke his throat."

Nalan Baihe suddenly realized that it was to instill fear in the opponent's mind, thus making it easier to defeat him.There was a gleam in his eyes, he looked at his sister's son, and said with a smile: "How do you know so much, kid?"

"After playing the role of waste wood for so many years, I can only focus on the study of piano, chess, books, paintings, military strategies and psychological tactics. I can't really become a waste who does nothing, right?" Cheng smiled carefreely. Sheng replied.In those years, he had suffered so much.

"So that's how it is!" Nalan Baihe nodded, looked at Cheng Cheng and said with a smile, "It's lucky that you have such a chance, otherwise you wouldn't be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs."

There is a bitter past behind every successful person. This sentence is deeply philosophical. If Cheng Cheng hadn’t experienced the waste wood for more than ten years, he might still be a proud and proud young master of the married family. How can a bunch of dog slaves molesting good women on the street become such an all-rounder?Not only did he have astounding achievements in both magic and martial arts, but he also had great plans and extraordinary talents and strategies.

"Auntie, stop praising me, I'm even embarrassed." She said with a little embarrassment.

"Tch, would you be embarrassed? Surely you're secretly having fun?" An Lianqi said contemptuously, but she was really happy when Cheng Cheng was praised.

"Okay, let's follow Cheng Cheng's plan, first raise troops to lobby, and take down the enemy's psychological defense line." An Dongtai said, stopping everyone from laughing.

"Okay, I'll call the generals of the Dongsang Empire first. Some of them know the generals defending the city, so it's easier to lobby." Nodding his head, Lang Ya got up and left the tent.

"Everyone, let's prepare for this war without gunpowder." An Dongtai said with a smile on his face when he got up from his handsome chair.

Afterwards, a group of people left the commander's tent, went to gather the army in the camp, and pressed into Kangle City.

"dong dong dong"

On the observation deck of the city tower, a soldier who was in charge of setting off the smoke saw a large banner outside the city emerge, with the word Shangguan written on it, and then a man on a horse came out from behind the hill and appeared one mile away. Within, there were endless teams coming out from behind, like ants moving house, they were all people.

What followed was the sound of rumbling horseshoes, although not very neat, but it also shocked the soul, and the city wall seemed to shake.

The soldiers bulged their eyes wide, and quickly turned around to take out the drum hammers from the drum stand, beat them quickly on the war drums, and sent a message to all the soldiers, telling them to pay attention to the enemy's attack.Then he desperately ran up to the beacon tower, lit the beacon, and the black smoke rolled straight into the air.

"Look, Wolf Smoke, hurry up and report to the Eighth Prince!" A general stepped out of the tent, saw the Wolf Smoke in the sky, and ordered to a lieutenant beside him.The deputy general didn't dare to say much, so he quickly pulled a fast horse and rushed towards the city in a hurry.

"Report, Ba Ye Wang, the enemy army in Beicheng is attacking!"

"Report, Lord Wang, the enemy army in Nancheng is coming fiercely!"

"Report, Wang Baye, the enemy army in the west city is tens of thousands, and they are pressing towards the gate of the city!"

"Report, Ba Ye Wang, the east city has been attacked, and the entire area is full of enemy troops!"

One after another, the news exploded in the Eighth Prince's mansion like firecrackers, crackling and panicking.

Even the Eighth Prince felt dizzy when he heard so many news coming all of a sudden. After he cleared his mind, he said to the generals who reported the news: "As a soldier, don't panic when the enemy is attacking you. Be sure to keep calm, how can you lead troops to fight like you?"

"Yes, the Eighth Prince!" The four generals said.

However, they were in such a panic because they were eager to bring the news back to the Prince's Mansion.The Eighth Prince did not pursue further, and then ordered: "Quickly go back, find out the number of enemy troops attacking each city gate, and then report back, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!" With a promise, the four generals hurriedly got up and left the house.

After the four generals left, the Eighth Prince took a deep breath and shouted, "Lausang!"

"General, what do you want from me?" Luosang was the butler of the prince's mansion, and his strength should not be underestimated.

"Go and call Helian Wencheng!" the Eighth Prince ordered.

Luosang obeyed his orders and quickly went to invite Helian Wencheng. When he was originally the emperor of Dongsang Kingdom, the Eighth Prince treated him like a saddle, because Dongsang Kingdom, a small land, had to rely on the power of the Douwu Empire.

Now Helian Wencheng is like a bereaved dog who escaped from the Douwu Empire and came to seek refuge with the Eighth Prince. If it weren't for the fact that he has an army of 20, he would definitely not take in this bereaved dog.

After Luosang left, Tie Yan, the man in the iron mask, appeared behind the Eighth Prince. This man has always been extremely mysterious, and he is also one of the main players in the plan to annex the Douwu Empire and the Dongsang Kingdom.Seeing the Eighth Prince and Helian Wencheng, he didn't make any salutes, which shows that he has enough capital in front of them.

"You are finally willing to show up. The current situation is at stake. All our plans are likely to be destroyed and our lives will be lost. Alas, I didn't expect to lose so soon." Leaning back on the chair, Eighth The prince closed his eyes deeply, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

"Now that things have come to this, the prince doesn't have to worry too much. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. It's just a game, like a game of chess. It's no big deal if you lose." I couldn't see Tie Yan's expression, but his tone It's full of nothingness.

"It's not a big deal? It's not a big deal to you, but to me it's destruction, it's irreversible!" Patting the armrest of the chair, the Eighth Prince was very angry at his understatement, and retorted bitterly.

"Please calm down, haven't you lost this game?" Tie Yan also found a chair to sit down and said with a smile.

"The current situation is that we can't even make a corner of Pianan, but we are just struggling and besieged by the army of the Douwu Empire. They can collect food and grass from all over the place, while we just wait to sit and eat. Such an exquisite chess game , Is there any way to break it?" The Eighth Prince knows the current situation very well, Kangle City is besieged, if the Douwu Empire army outside collects food and grass from various places, it will be a matter of time before the city is broken.

"Since breaking the city is a matter of time, why didn't the prince make a plan sooner?" Tie Yan said with a smile.

"What plan?" Frowning, the Eighth Prince asked suspiciously.

"Put them to death and live!" Seeing the puzzled gaze cast by the Eighth Prince, Tie Yan continued to explain: "This kind of war is nothing more than relying on the number of people. In the eyes of experts, they are absolutely invulnerable, even with hundreds of thousands of troops. It can also be easily destroyed. Therefore, the strength cannot be relied on in terms of multiples, it needs the strength of a single person. Why didn't the prince leave with a master to avoid the edge, and wait until the time is right to make a comeback. At that time, he will no longer be Dongsang It is so simple to be the emperor of the kingdom, and it is not impossible to even sit on the Dragon Throne of the Douwu Empire."

"Are you going to make me be like Helian Wencheng, a dog that runs around with its tail between its legs?" Eyes narrowed, the Eighth Prince's tone turned cold, he could never be like Helian Wencheng , I only know how to run away, at worst, I will die, and the enemy will be severely injured.

"No, no, you are wrong. This is not about running away with your tail between your legs, but just avoiding the edge temporarily. I have a good place to let everyone improve their strength quickly. When everyone's strength reaches the respect level, it will be What kind of strength? Why not win the dragon chair of the Douwu Empire?"

"Zunji? Don't be afraid to flash your tongue when you say big words. Do you think the strength of Zunji is so easy to improve? You have to be a top-notch person, otherwise breaking through Zunji is undoubtedly a fantasy. It's all wishful thinking to break through to Zunji. .”

Seeing the Eighth Prince mocking him, Tie Yan was not angry, and continued to seduce: "I have a good place, and I promise that within two years, you will be able to break through to the Emperor level, and the Emperor level to the Zun level, believe it or not!" It’s up to you to decide whether to go or not to go.”

The Eighth Prince's face suddenly became ugly. He turned his head and stared at Tie Yan closely. There seemed to be a flash of light between his eyes, trying to see him thoroughly.But the more you look at it, the more strange Tie Yan looks.

"Hmph, why should I believe what you say? You are only superior in strength yourself." The Eighth Prince asked calmly as his heart was like a stormy sea.As far as he knew, even if he went to that mysterious place, it would be impossible to have such a terrifying advancement speed, no wonder he didn't believe it.

It took decades, or even hundreds of years, for the strong ones who advanced to the rank of Zun in Dou Mo to reach such a height.Who would believe that within two years, he would advance from the emperor rank to the honor rank?
"I do know such a place, and I dare to swear in the name of God's Punishment that everything I said is true. You might as well think about whether you want to fight with the enemy or dive temporarily and wait for someday." It’s up to you to make a comeback.” Tie Yan’s tone was full of indifference, as if everything was under his control.
