The military and civilians of Yinluo City did not receive the expected celebration banquet for the whole city. Instead, they only had one night of rest before the victory. On the second day, they recruited all the people and soldiers and ordered them to build walls and dig trenches day and night.
It is not the most difficult thing to cheer up and work hard again after a failure. The most difficult thing is to keep a calm view of the situation after winning, and find loopholes and sense of crisis.
Although this battle hurts the Yas Empire, it does not mean that it will defeat the other side. If the Yas Empire brings a large army to fight again, Yinluocheng will still be as fragile as being worn out. The tactic of winning like this will not be effective every time. The people of the Yas Empire are not idiots, and they will not leave a second chance once.
What Xu Lei has to do now is to make Yinluo City as high as possible to achieve the highest defense. The already sturdy city wall was renovated and reinforced, which was twice as thickened. The trenches outside the city wall were dug to the extreme, and a large amount of manpower and financial resources were used to collect wood, cannon stones from the mountain to stock up in the city. He, Ji Xin and others also personally entered the construction site to command day and night.
"City Lord..." Qin Guang, who had always been cherishing words and was silent, even though he was unpretentious, actually called Xu Lei without any norm.
"Ah!" Xu Lei was not used to it for a moment, and he was also a little puzzled. How did this guy who usually talked less than the wooden people on weekdays and said hello to him today? "Is there anything wrong?" Xu Lei asked politely, because he knew that this taciturn guy took the initiative to say hello to him was definitely not as simple as a greeting.
Qin Guang nodded awkwardly, and felt extremely unnatural. In fact, it was not that he was arrogant, but that he didn't like to speak in his bones. If it weren't for the fact that he had caused him to be so suffocated in his heart, he would probably not have taken the initiative to defend himself even if Xu Lei was wrongly accusing him of wanting to beat him with a military stick.
"If you have anything, tell me, I will do my best as long as I can do it." Xu Lei actually felt favored by others, wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and walked to Qin Guang.
"That..." Qin Guang pursed his lips and asked with courage, "How did you know that the person I killed was just a substitute that day?"
Xu Lei was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that this kid was just worried about this matter. No wonder he always looked strange these days, and he always looked like he wanted to speak but stopped when he saw him.
Usually, taciturn people have different degrees of paranoidness and mental cleanliness, and they cannot tolerate any flaws in their minds. Qin Guang is a very serious paranoid in his bones. No matter what he does, he has to force himself to do it to the extreme.
This taciturn man was known as the entire Yinluo City in the war a few days ago. If the number of people killed that day, even Xu Lei's demon sword could not match. Qin Guang's main body war soul wolf claws were waving in airtightly. With the terrifying blood attribute, the enemy could not even hum anywhere. And his crazy look on the battlefield, even Xu Lei was a little scared. Is this still a human? Why do you think of a crazy wolf cub the more you look at it?
Since that stop, Qin Guang has added a nickname in the army, called the Wolf Blood Madman. Xu Lei felt that this nickname was most suitable for Qin Guang, so he simply gave him the title of General Flying Wolf. In Yinluo City, if people see Xu Lei, they are respectful and respectful, and when they see Ji Xin, they will only have their scalp numbness when they see General Flying Wolf. His crazy performance on the battlefield is well-known to the entire Yinluo City, and it is spreading from time to time. Later, it turned out to become a crazy wolf that specializes in drinking human blood. He killed people just to drink human blood. In the same way, Yinluo City will say a sentence when coaxing children, "General Flying Wolf is here!" This sentence is more useful than any threatening words. No matter how naughty a child is, he shuts his mouth obediently whenever he hears General Flying Wolf coming.
Xu Lei smiled, looked at Qin Guang's slightly shy and serious face, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Why did you think that person must be the enemy commander?"
Qin Guang thought for a while and said, "He rushed out of the enemy's commander's camp, and he wore the badge representing the commander's position on his chest."
Xu Lei smiled and said, "Everyone can wear the coach's outfit and badge. Judging from these alone, it is not entirely certain that the other party's identity is."
"Then how did you see it?" Qin Guang asked impatiently.
Xu Lei nodded and smiled, "First, the man was holding a big sword made of mortal iron at that time. It is not ruled out that there are some genius generals who do not have any soul power in themselves, but this probability is too small, and such genius generals will not be included in small countries like Yas. In addition, their military discipline is extremely poor, so I dare to conclude that although his commander is not entirely a pampered bag, he will never be a genius general. If this is the case, an ordinary person who does not have soul power in his power will definitely not be able to achieve the position of commander. This is one of them."
Qin Guang listened carefully and kept Xu Lei's words in his heart. During the days when he was following Xu Lei, he was completely convinced by this young man of the same age as him. He had a better combat power than himself. What is important is that this young man of the same age is unfathomable. He seems to be able to see through people's internal organs, but he is always a mystery in front of you, and he can never see through him and guess him. Sometimes he is so calm that it makes people feel terrible, and sometimes he will be like a child.
"The second and most important point." Xu Lei looked at Qin Guang, and his tone suddenly became serious. "Everyone only knows that hearing is false, but he doesn't know that eyes are the most lie. The eyes always convey some surface information without analysis, just like when you see a person wearing the coach's speed, you determine that the other party must be the coach. In fact, you were deceived by your eyes."
Xu Lei continued, "Only what you feel with your heart is the most real thing. I felt something was wrong when the substitute you killed that day rushed out of the camp. Although he looked tall and magnificent, he lacked the temperament he had cultivated as a coach for a long time. This temperament could not be imitated no matter what, so I predicted that this person must be a substitute!"
After Xu Lei finished speaking, he smiled at Qin Guang who was stunned and turned around and left. He knew that people like Qin Guang would never make the same mistake again after passing this time, otherwise he would not be the Shan King who could defeat the Yas Empire's army several times in a row.
As Xu Lei expected, the Imperial Family of the Yas Empire was completely furious about this incident. After some rest, they began to plan a military plan to raise troops to trample Yinluo City into scorched earth.
The special guards lurking in Yas City kept reporting, all about the mobilization of the Yas Empire's army. It seems that this time, the Yas Empire was determined to take down Yinluo City in one fell swoop, but it did not hesitate to transfer elite troops from other cities to gather in the border city adjacent to Yinluo City. The intention was obvious, and you could guess what your intention was with your toes.
I frowned for several days, and as time went by, my brows became even more frowned.
Every day, the army of Yas City is very likely to pounce on it like an angry beast and tear it to pieces.
Ji Xin naturally knew that it was dangerous. After several days of careful deployment, he consulted Xu Lei overnight to discuss the enemy formation, and took the initiative to attack. He bluffed the fortifications on the spot and secretly attacked another border city of Yas City from a secret path. In this way, if Yas returns to rescue, he can set up an ambush on the road and hit a few ambushes and severely defeat his troops. This will take some time. If Yas does not return to rescue him, it will be the best. If Yas does not take down the city in one fell swoop, the entire Yinluo City will move together and leave an empty city for the Yas Empire.
In this situation, this strategy is perfect from any angle. However, Xu Lei shook his head abnormally and rejected Ji Xin's proposal. He didn't explain much. He just pursed his lips and said lightly, "Wait a little longer and wait for news to fall from the sky."
Ji Xin was unsure and could not guess what Xu Lei was thinking, but he chose silence and obedience. As the commander of the entire army, he was more aware of the principle that soldiers took unconditional obedience to orders as their duty. Xu Lei was the city lord, and he was also a soldier in front of Xu Lei. He believed that this young man who was attracted by him at first sight and decided to follow him would never be aimless. Since he did that, there would be his reason.
The troops of the Yas Empire, adjacent to Yinluo City, are gathering more and more troops. The special guards keep reporting on the mobilization of their troops every day. It seems that the royal family of the Yas Empire has made up their minds to eliminate the spark that will likely start prairie in the future. They even transferred one of the three most elite battalions of 10,000 people in the Yas Empire to gather, which shows its desire to kill.
Yinluo City still builds a lot of construction day and night, and there are often a few suspicious faces on the streets. However, the Special Guard obeyed Xu Lei's instructions and just kept an eye on them. It did not alarm these spies sent by Yas City. Instead, it relaxed its scope of activities to the greatest extent and deliberately let the other party spy on the news.
Two months later, the border city adjacent to Yinluo Town of the Yas Empire had accumulated more than 100,000 troops, including one of the three most elite battalions of 10,000 people in the Yas Empire. As long as these 100,000 troops pounced on them, the fortifications of Yinluo City would become a devastating ending.
But the Yas Empire was still increasing its gathering forces, but it has not taken action for a long time.
This is another strategy of Ji Xin, the god of war on land. The reason why the Yas Empire has been slow to take action is because Yas spies are constantly rewarding. Yinluo City has a large number of troops gathered from unknown places every day, probably more than 50,000 troops!
But only Xu Lei, Ji Xin and others knew that, with the group of surrendered soldiers not long ago, the entire Yinluo City's troops were barely enough to be eight thousand.
This is another trick of the land war god Ji Xin. It turns out that these Tianyinluo City construction projects are to strengthen the city defenses on the surface, but secretly opened up an authentic tunnel to leave the city. The soldiers of Yinluo City will take advantage of the night to leave the city every day, and then wait until dawn, and then enter the city gate with great swagger, making the spies of the Yas Empire mistakenly believe that Yinluo City has been increasing its troops every day, so they came to the wrong conclusion that Yinluo City has already stationed "50,000" troops.
Although this strategy of concealing the world for a while, it cannot be hidden for a lifetime. Sooner or later, it will be exposed. Xu Lei and Ji Xin did not expect to hide it for a lifetime, but they just hoped that one day would be delayed for one day. Xu Lei has been waiting for the news that fell from the sky.
