Gu Feng said that he would. Gu Feng returned to the living quarters, but his attitude was extremely unyielding. He did not give Gu Feng any leeway. At this time, Gu Feng broke out in a cold sweat. Tang Yin had sent out a secret arrow to force himself to stay in the living quarters. Did he see through his fraud?
Impossible! Gu Feng secretly shook his head, and immediately denied his deduction. If Tang Yin truly saw through him, then he would not stay in the tent, and would instead send people to capture him, interrogate him, or even directly execute him. In addition, the food supplies from Tianyuan Army were being delivered to the northern camp, it was completely true, he had personally witnessed it himself!
He was still mulling over this in his heart when Jia Xi once again said impatiently: "General Gu, please!" Gu Feng regained his senses, laughed at Jia Xi, turned his body, and slowly returned to his own living quarters. On the other hand, Jia Xi followed Gu Feng and entered the tent. He did not walk inside, but after coming here recently, he sat down on the ground at the entrance of the tent, closed his eyes, and did not say a word.
Seeing Jia Xi like that, Gu Feng secretly laughed bitterly, Spirit Cultivator of Dark was truly annoying, the person in front of him was almost exactly the same as Jiang Fan! Jia Xi sat there like a boulder, not moving at all. Originally, Gu Feng wanted to probe further from his mouth, but before he could even speak, he swallowed his words.
On the other side, Tang Yin was doing the final preparations.
The Zhangyu City had a famous general like Zhan Wushuang, it was not easy for the enemy to counterattack their plan, they had to be extremely careful with all their arrangements, and they could not afford to be negligent in the slightest. Right now, Tang Yin had planned for the middle camp to be set up as an ambush, but that did not mean that it was over. Right now, Tang Yin was considering on who he should send over to the north camp to do a feint.
In order to lure the enemy into a trap, one had to first make them think that they had fallen into a trap, and so they had to attack the Zhangyu viciously, making them think that they had used all their strength, and that they were facing off against the main force.
Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying, in their hearts, were more confident in Xiao Muqing. After all, the strength of Pingyuan Army was just too strong, and if they were to fiercely attack, the imposing manner that they displayed was basically the same as when their entire army went out to attack, but Tang Yin had to consider, since the enemy troops were to attack from all sides, they must have arranged a heavy guard and adequate defensive equipment to attack from all sides. No matter who attacked, they would definitely suffer a violent counterattack from the enemy troops and suffer heavy losses.
After considering it over and over again, in the end, Tang Yin decided to use his Heavenly Eagle Army as the lead to feign attack.
After hearing Tang Yin's orders, Zi Ying could also understand Tang Yin's actions. Pingyuan Army was one of the core strength of their side, and it was indeed not suitable for them to do fake attacks.
After receiving the order, Zi Ying did not delay any further, and took advantage of the night time to order all the several tens of thousands of Heavenly Eagle Army to the northern camp. At the moment, Heavenly Eagle Army was not a large force. After many consecutive battles and losses, the overall strength of the Heavenly Eagle Army had decreased from one hundred and fifty thousand to sixty to seventy thousand people. Even so, many of the people were still wounded.
It took Zi Ying quite a bit of effort to get this small army of tens of thousands to become his army of two hundred thousand, but he was quick with thought and thought of a way to deal with them.
He ordered a large number of helmets and spears to be brought out of their armoury, and distributed them, giving one helmet and one spear to each of their soldiers.
The Heavenly Eagle Army soldiers thought it was strange, they were already wearing helmets on their heads, and they had weapons in their hands, what did the general mean by sending out helmets and weapons? Everyone was confused.
Zi Ying did not explain anything, quietly picked up a spear, and hung the helmet on it. Looking at it, he felt that it was not right, so he put the spear down and unsheathed his sword, then slashed down at the spear's body.
Ka-cha! * The wooden shaft of the spear was split in half by the sword. He then picked up the end of the half meter long spear and hung the helmet on it again. This time, as long as he raised his arm slightly, the helmet on the other half of the spear would be equal to the top of his head.
This time, Zi Ying nodded his head in satisfaction. He rolled his eyes and called for a group of soldiers to follow his example, cutting off their spears one by one and hanging their helmets on them. Then, he ordered the people to stand together again as he retreated back more than fifty meters before stopping.
He raised his eyes and looked at the soldiers. It was dark and his visibility was limited. At this time, he could vaguely see a black mass of people in front of him.
After he finished looking, Zi Ying laughed in his heart, their side is at the bottom of the city, the enemy is at the top of the city, looking down from above, using the darkness as a cover, the troops on their side can be slightly relaxed, the enemy can only see a dense red tassel, this way, their side's strength will increase by an unknown amount, if the enemy doesn't think that they are rushing out at full strength, what a strange thing!
At this time, Zi Ying's underlings finally understood what he was trying to do. The regiment commander and the other deputy generals surrounded them and asked, "General, are you trying to use a suspicious tactic?" "That's right!" Zi Ying raised the broken half of the spear in his hand, and laughed: "With this, we can make our 70,000 soldiers instantly turn into 140,000 soldiers. With so many troops focused on attacking Zhangyu, no matter how well-prepared the enemies are, they will still be scared to death!" "Ah, yes …" The regiment commander and the deputy generals looked at each other, and then their gazes all fell onto the half of the spear in Zi Ying's hands.
Zi Ying did not care about what his subordinates thought, and sent a message to them, "Let our brothers do as I say, and rest until the fourth fragment of the night, then follow me to attack the city!" Yes! "General!" The generals obeyed.
That night, both the Zhangyu City and the Tianyuan Army camp were exceptionally calm, exceptionally quiet, and terrifyingly still as well. But on the calm surface, there was a surging undercurrent, and both sides were hiding killing intent.
Time passed minute after minute, but to the generals of both sides, time seemed exceptionally long and hard to endure.
On the fourth day, Zi Ying was resting in his tent with his eyes closed. Just then, Le Tian walked in with large strides, took out an arrow and handed it to Zi Ying, saying: "Master has orders, General Zi Ying will immediately attack North City!" "As you command!" Zi Ying stood up, knelt on one knee, and carefully received the command order arrow. Then, he stood up and said to Le Tian, "General Le Tian, please return and report to the lord, I will lead the troops to attack!" Le Tian nodded and was about to walk outside, but he stopped in his tracks. He turned around and warned Zi Ying in a low voice, "General Zi Ying should be careful too!" As the person who sent the order, he should not have said anything unnecessary, but Le Tian was truly worried for Zi Ying.
Zi Ying looked at Le Tian gratefully, and said sternly, "General Le Tian need not worry about me, but Master's side is truly in a dangerous situation, it is also a tough battle, General Le Tian must protect Master!" "I understand," said Le Tian, nodding his head heavily. "General Zi Ying, this humble one will take my leave!" After Le Tian left, Zi Ying immediately sent people to gather all the generals, and passed down the order for the entire army to attack.
The moment the commander gave the order, the entire army moved. Seventy thousand or so Heavenly Eagle Army soldiers surged out of the northern camp of the Tianyuan Army like a tide.
It was already the darkest hour of the night and the Heavenly Eagle Army s were covered with black armor, almost blending perfectly with the darkness. With a shield in one hand and half a spear in the other, they walked out of the army camp without a sound. With empty helmets still hanging from their helmets, they quietly approached Tianyu's North City.
No matter how careful or slow the movements of 70,000 people were, they would still make quite a loud noise.
On the other side.
It could be said that the northern camp of Tianyuan Army had just made its move, and Zhan Wushuang and the other generals hiding in their North City had already discovered it.
Looking out from the top of the city, could see a large black mass of people inside Tianyuan Army camp, and some of the soldiers in front were already more than a mile away from the camp, while the soldiers behind were still leaving in a steady stream. Zhan Wushuang hid behind the arrow stack, staring at them with wide eyes, and said seriously: "Tianyuan Army camp is indeed full of people attacking!" Zhong Tian, who was sitting beside Zhan Wushuang, was half asleep. When he heard this, he suddenly shivered and quickly stood up, exposing half of his head to look out. After reading it, Zhong Tian's face immediately became pale white. He knew that there were quite a few people in the Tianyuan Army, but he never expected there to be so many. Less than two kilometers away from the North City, there was only a black mass and dense mass of Tianyuan Army.
"Heavens …" Tianyuan Army... They were coming! General Wushuang, quick... "Quick, pass the order to shoot the arrows …" At this time, Zhong Tian was both frightened and shocked, to the point where he couldn't even speak clearly.
Zhan Wushuang laughed out loud as he checked, and all his Tianyuan Army s came out, this was a good thing, it showed that their side's plan had succeeded! He smiled at Zhong Tian and said softly, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. It will not be too late to shoot when the enemy approaches us!" Most of them had been trained for a few days as a motley crew. Even if they were two miles away, with the enemy at hand, it would still be difficult for them to kill the soldiers on their side!
"To..." "How close will we have to wait?" Zhong Tian asked with a grin.
Zhan Wushuang faintly said, "Six hundred meters is the best distance!" "Pu!" After Zhong Tian heard this, he almost lost his breath. A hundred meters, wouldn't that mean he was already right in front of them? If the enemy put in more effort, they would be able to rush directly to the bottom of the city and build a ladder to attack the city. He still wanted to say something, but Zhan Wushuang waved his hand and called over a Herald, and said: "Immediately ride your horses to South City, find Zhan Wudi, Hao Zhao, and the other three generals, and inform them that the enemy has fallen into a trap, the three of them will immediately lead their troops out of the city and attack Enemy's Camp!"
