Chapter 978

"Pay attention to me. After going up the city wall, first pretend to surrender. When there are about twenty or so people going up, you will attack immediately. As long as you hold on for a while, my people will continue to go up to help you."

"To win this city, in addition to rewarding you with a thousand pieces of gold and being promoted to three ranks, you are allowed to choose three women as rewards among the captives first."

According to Heles' instructions, the subordinate officers made arrangements and promised high-ranking officials generous salaries and women as rewards to stimulate the soldiers' enthusiasm for combat.

When the soldiers of the elite army heard this, not only could they be promoted and get money, but they could also give away women.

Seeing that the morale was boosted, Heles was satisfied, and immediately ordered the troops to advance to the new city.

Of course, in order not to be seen through by the enemy, it is also necessary to make a feint.

After paying some casualties, under the leadership of the officers, the elite soldiers pretended to collapse, and then boarded the ladder.

On Xincheng's side, Chen Fang felt that something was wrong earlier, and after seeing the clumsy acting skills of the opponent's soldiers, he naturally saw through the opponent's intentions.

Anyway, Chen Fang had doubts before, and Yu Mei also made arrangements, and he was happy to cooperate with the other side, and continued to let the soldiers not attack the area of ​​the ladder, but let them go up.

After the first elite soldier climbed up, he put down his weapon very cooperatively, raised his hands with a smile to express his surrender, and also automatically stepped aside from the position behind him, appearing very cooperative.

But you also need to act in a certain way.

At first, those ordinary soldiers behaved very anxiously after they survived a desperate situation. Their expressions were full of joy, worry and tension, which were rich but restrained.

But when the elite soldiers climbed up, what are they doing with such a happy smile on their faces, their eyes are looking everywhere, and their waists are also standing very straight.

The performance of the elite soldiers fell into the eyes of the Xincheng soldiers, and they all wanted to laugh, but in order to cooperate, they still collapsed.

The dozen or so Awakened soldiers arranged beside each ladder separated two people to block the next person on the ladder, and then the remaining eight people surrounded the elite soldier of Hecheng with grim smiles. Zhong quickly took it down, tied it like a pig, and handed it over to other soldiers to carry it away.

Send one away, and then put the ladder up and down one person up, and this operation is like an assembly line operation, capturing the elite soldiers of Hecheng one by one.

Looking at the elite soldiers of Hecheng who were being carried away with their hands and feet bound and their mouths gagged, Chen Fang jokingly glanced at the Hecheng troops below.

"I really didn't expect the opposing commander to be so stupid."

He knew what the other party was thinking, but he wanted the soldiers to pretend to surrender after they came up, and then waited for more than a dozen people to come up and start the battle of climbing the wall.

This idea seems feasible, but the other party seems to have not considered a problem.

That is to carry out this operation, it is necessary to have absolute control over the wall climbing ladder.

Think about it, the ladder is only so big, and only one person can climb up it. As long as the opening is stuck, one person will come up, and the next one will be blocked. Please go to the previous one, and then put down the other one to come up after dealing with it. There will be no chance for you to get together at all. , What do you use to execute the battle plan, your head is pinched, you still want to smoke, you just want to fart.

"Notice, let someone make some fighting news later, and play a show."

"I want to see that stupid commander, when will he find something is wrong."

Chen Fang sent messengers to notify all sections of the city wall.

Chen Fang on the top of the city wall was amused, and Heles, who watched the elite soldiers continue to go up the city wall, was also sneering.

"Hehe, that commander thought he was smart, but his cleverness was misunderstood by his cleverness, and I took advantage of him." Heles said proudly.

"My lord's wisdom is like an abyss, unfathomable and amazing."

"Yeah, we really admire him."

A group of officers applauded one after another.

Heles enjoyed the compliments from his men.

But as time passed and soldiers kept coming to the city, Helles sensed something was wrong.

"Strange, didn't you tell me to fight back when a dozen or so people went up, why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

In addition to Heles feeling that something was wrong, an officer also felt strange looking at the soldiers who were still climbing the wall, and expressed his doubts.

When he said this, other people also felt strange.

"Could it be that our intention has been discovered, the other party has already prepared." Someone said.

Heles' heart trembled, and when he was about to order the soldiers to withdraw, suddenly the sound of weapons clashing and fighting came from the top of the city, and his heart relaxed.

Similarly, his officers also relaxed.

Someone said: "Perhaps the soldiers felt that there were too many people on the other side's wall, and a dozen people couldn't support it, so they waited until now to launch it."

Others nodded one after another, thinking the same.

So Heles waited again with the officer.

But wait and wait, suddenly someone noticed something was wrong.

"My lord, I don't think it's right. You see, from the very beginning, the soldiers went up one by one, at least they would stop for a while before going up the wall."

"It can be said that the other party blocked it."

"But isn't there a fight now? Logically speaking, the one in front should go up and the one behind will catch up, but why does it still have to wait for a while now? It shouldn't be."

The officer said what he found awkward and out of place.

After hearing this, Heles immediately observed carefully, and if it was the same as what the officer said, he immediately ordered.

"Tell the soldiers not to go up, let's retreat."

A group of officers sent their men down to give orders. Soon after, the soldiers below the city wall all retreated, and even the three core energy cannons on the side of the city gate were also withdrawn.

After fighting for a long time, except for a few more pit marks on the city gate, it has no effect at all, so there is no need to go to the gate again.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the other party to be so cunning. Before that, they sent people to act on it deliberately in order not to make us suspicious."

Heles didn't expect that he would use the ladder to make a fuss, and he would use his tricks to send elite soldiers to the city wall, hoping to open a breakthrough in the battle situation.

The other party, on the other hand, took advantage of his own intentions again, used his tactics again, and even acted to deliberately let him send elite soldiers up like a tiger's mouth, creating a nesting doll game.

Let his plot fail, and nearly 3,000 elite soldiers were recruited in vain.

People have been overwhelmed by IQ, played tricks, Heles' gloomy face can wring out water.

"My lord, what should we do now? Are we still fighting?" an officer asked.

Heles said coldly, "Tell me what to hit and how to hit."

The officer naturally didn't know, and hurriedly retreated behind his colleagues.

Heles glanced at Xincheng uncertainly, and said after a moment of thought:

"The whole army returned to the camp. After a short rest, we retreated. The city will not be fought."

"ah!"

All the officers were surprised on their faces.

After losing so many people, stop fighting?

Go back and blame the city lord...

Heles said coldly: "Ah, what, I will bear all the responsibilities for the retreat this time."

After saying that Heles was about to order the withdrawal of troops, a soldier hurried over.

"My lord, our rear was attacked by enemy cavalry."

Heles froze.
