Chapter 2603 Dog Hole?

The strategy of posing a suspicious enemy is a very popular strategy used in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, because this trick is really useful!

After all, it was quite troublesome to collect intelligence about the enemy in ancient times, and it was not like today that you can pass on intelligence by swiping the screen, so most of the time, the two armies only had a general understanding of each other, and they were completely in the dark about whether there were ambushes and reinforcements.

So unless you surround the enemy in a hilltop or a city, you can determine the specific situation of the enemy, so you don’t need to worry about the strategy of posing a suspicious enemy.

In this case, the strategy of posing a suspicious enemy can really bluff people, especially by giving the kind of specious information, so that you can’t be sure how many troops and backhands the opponent has. Of course, this trick cannot be used on those pure reckless men, after all, he doesn’t care about your nonsense.

Of course, this may also be a survivor bias, because the strategies of posing a suspicious enemy that can be recorded in history must be successful, and those that failed are almost not recorded. . . Why is this?

Isn't it because these failed tactics of deceiving the enemy are not worth mentioning, or these failed tactics of deceiving the enemy are generally the party with fewer troops pretending to have more, and as a result, after being discovered or ignored, they are treated as a roadside and crushed casually, so there is no need to record them specifically.

But then again, this tactic of deceiving the enemy is basically to pretend to have more with less, and rarely to pretend to have more with less. Of course, this is also normal, because in ancient times, so many people really couldn't be hidden, so even if there were ambushes, only so many people would be arranged. After all, if there were more ambushes, it would not be called an ambush, but to arrange troops in advantageous terrain and wait for the enemy to come to the door automatically.

So is this Emperor Gengxin pretending to have less or less?

Although under normal circumstances, Liu Xing felt that Emperor Gengxin was pretending to have more with less, he always felt that something was wrong, because under normal circumstances, Emperor Gengxin did not need to use this trick of deceiving the enemy, after all, he also knew what kind of enemies he was facing. In short, these people have already shot the bow and there is no turning back, no matter how many people there are, they have to fight.

And there aren't too many torches now.

So Liu Xing suspected that there might be too many to pack, because although Luo Ye didn't say how many random teleportation arrays there were in the siege grid and where they led to, according to Yunqi's previous statement, there should be a teleportation array in the palace, so people in the siege grid might also be teleported into the palace, so there are actually quite a few reinforcements around the Emperor of Renewal.

And according to Liu Xing's experience, an emperor with an unstable foothold like this would definitely prepare some backup plans for himself, and would also place his own people in certain important positions, so the cities near the palace should all be controlled by people trusted by the Emperor of Renewal!

If possible, there should be a small path between these cities and the palace, so there is no need to use the grid array as a transit station, so at this time, the Emperor of Renewal may have reinforcements from two or three cities that have arrived at the palace in the best case.

In this way, the Emperor of Renewal can mobilize a lot of troops.

Of course, although there are many people on the side of the Update Emperor, if they directly start a direct battle, there will still be considerable losses, so it is better to use this trick to lure the enemy deep into the city, and then use the advantage of defending the city to consume the opponent's wave first, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

But this may also be that I think too much.

Liu Xing shook his head and finally realized the terribleness of the strategy of confusing the enemy, that is, no matter how you think, you will feel reliable, and in the end you will enter a state of self-doubt, after all, you can't make a decision that can completely convince yourself.

In this way, one stubborn mind becomes blocked at both ends.

Liu Xing touched the back of his head and decided to start emptying himself and stop thinking about these things. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him.

After all, I have already decided not to help either side, let them fight however they want.

After thinking this through, Liu Xing drank a sip of water and was ready to break through, because these torches are not only used to confuse the enemy, but also have a possibility of being used as a signal to prompt the friendly forces under the city to start breaking through.

So Liu Xing asked the players around him to pass on a message for him - get ready.

Because there was only water but no food, Liu Xing didn't need to make any preparations at this time, just drink a mouthful of water.

Although he was a little hungry, there is a saying that a mouthful of water can last for five minutes, so Liu Xing now has a sense of fullness.

"Leader, those NPCs are also starting to get a little restless."

At this time, Baihecheng came over and said, "The players on the periphery have seen that the NPCs around them have begun to gather together, and their eyes have been locked in a certain direction, so they should be preparing to break out! The most important thing is that the NPCs on the other side have also focused their attention on the city wall, and the leaders seem to be discussing whether to attack the city directly."

"So brave? Even if you think there are not many people on the other side, you won't attack the city after dark, right? The difficulty coefficient is not ordinary."

Liu Xing looked around the environment, and just when he was about to ask people to gather, he heard a noise not far away, as if someone had a conflict.

Soon, they started fighting.

A standard tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Liu Xing had seen this scene in many online novels, where the protagonist and his teammates pretended to have a conflict, thus attracting the enemy's attention and coming to solve the problem, and then they suddenly attacked without any intention.

As expected, the scene Liu Xing expected soon appeared. When several people who maintained order nearby came to check the situation, the others around them suddenly attacked and took away their weapons.

And the other NPCs also took action at this time, and soon tore a hole!

Seeing this, Liu Xing didn't need to say anything more. The players around him began to break out in another direction according to the predetermined plan, and the defenders in this direction had also attracted the attention of those NPCs, so they all went to help, so Liu Xing and others easily completed the breakout.

But now there is still a problem, that is, Liu Xing and others don't even have a torch in their hands, so in the case that it is completely dark today, Liu Xing and others can only run around in the dark.

Therefore, as he ran, Liu Xing found that there seemed to be fewer and fewer people around him, but this was expected. After all, even if he broke through in broad daylight, it was normal for someone to get lost in a completely unfamiliar environment.

So in ancient times, if only 10% of the defeated army could return to the base camp, then about 70% of them had various problems when they were running away, and the most common one might be that they got separated from the main team while running.

As long as about 80% of the troops could be left behind, the next plan would still have a chance of success.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing continued to run forward without stopping, because no one knew if there were any pursuers behind, so it was better to stay away.

When he couldn't catch his breath, Liu Xing stopped the players around him. After looking back, he was sure that the pursuers should not have caught up, because there was no fire behind.

However, Liu Xing could still hear some noises, and it seemed that those NPCs really fought.

"Alliance leader, let's go to the palace now and see if there's a chance to find a door."

In the pitch-black night, Liu Xing only heard Bai Hecheng's voice ringing in his ears, "To be honest, everyone is a little hungry, so we have to see if there is anything to eat along the way, otherwise we really won't be able to make it to the end of this event, and we will be too hungry to have any strength."

Liu Xing nodded without caring whether Bai Hecheng could see him or not, because at this time he was really a little hungry after running for such a long distance, after all, running like this in a tense situation would consume a lot of physical strength.

"It's okay, it will pass after a while."

In order not to dampen the morale of the players around him, Liu Xing could only bite the bullet and say: "How should I put it? Although we will hear a sentence in many strange works - the body is still quite honest, but in reality it is not the case. For example, if you ignore the very obvious feeling of hunger, it will disappear in a short time, and it will not appear again for a long time, because your body has already turned on the backup hidden energy - fat! That's right, this is why many people think they have exercised enough when they are losing weight, because their stomachs are already growling with hunger, but they can't lose a few pounds."

"Isn't this just crying poor?"

Baihecheng couldn't help but complain: "Because I can't bear to use my savings, I deliberately cry poor to get help from others, so that I can save more and more money... No wonder I have gained a lot of weight recently, it turns out that I am deceiving myself."

Hearing Baihecheng say this, the players around couldn't help laughing.

Liu Xing also smiled and said as he walked: "And you should have had this experience, that is, when you have to hold it in for some reason, the big one can't hold it in for long and will automatically open the gate, but if it's a small one, you can hold it in for a long time. This is because our bladder is one of the most deceiving organs. When its capacity exceeds 50%, it will start to sound the alarm, making us feel that we have to go to the toilet, but it can actually hold it for a long time... So this world is a huge makeshift team, and our body is a miniature makeshift team."

Speaking of this, Liu Xing thought of one of his teachers. He complained in class that if four people in a dormitory have more than ten hearts, then a person's body can make up dozens of hearts, because many organs have their own ideas, so they will do some magical operations to get more.

This is like when you are playing the classic upgrade and monster-killing online game, you will basically encounter a situation where you need to add points, so when you don't have a lot of points in the early stage, you can only make a choice, and the choice here depends on the importance of these attributes and skills.

So if these attributes and skills could talk, they would definitely discuss with the players how important they are, and adding points can bring higher benefits.

Because of this, many people think that our bodies are actually composed of several individuals, which is a bit similar to the common corals we see, because corals are composed of a group of coral polyps. . . Although these coral polyps are gone.

Just when Liu Xing wanted to say something to pass the time and divert everyone's attention, he suddenly saw a Kongming lantern rising not far away.

This Kongming Lantern was too conspicuous in the dark night, so Liu Xing immediately realized what the Kongming Lantern was used for.

That's sending a signal!

"If nothing else happens, the NPCs on both sides will start fighting."

Liu Xing said seriously: "So this is the best time for us to fish in troubled waters, so we have to find a way to enter the palace as soon as possible, otherwise our visit will be in vain."

At this time, the players all knew that it was too late, so they also accelerated their pace a lot.

Because of the guidance of the Kongming Lantern, Liu Xing and others quickly found the palace wall, but they could not find the door to enter at the first time.

"We split up. We each lead a team of people to explore the left and right sides. When we find the door, we send someone to notify the other team. Of course, we have to find a way to open the door before the other team arrives! If everything goes well. , just go in and check the situation to determine if there is a treasury or imperial palace that we want to find in the surrounding buildings, or other important buildings. If there are, go and explore first. Of course, if you encounter If you are heavily guarded, take a step back."

After Liu Xing finished speaking, he led a group of people to the left without waiting for Baihecheng's reply.

As a result, before taking a few steps, Liu Xingzhen found a small door.

"Is this a dog hole?"

The player next to him frowned and said: "Why is the palace of the Emperor of China designed with a dog hole? Could it be that the Emperor of China also has a dog to make it easier for the dog to get in and out? But the outside of the palace is very dangerous. Emperor of China has a dog cave. If you really like this dog, you won’t let it go out freely, not to mention the size of this dog hole, which can only let small dogs like Teddy Pomeranian pass through.”

Liu Xing thought about it and suddenly realized a possibility, that is, this "dog hole" was not prepared for dogs!

Rat with a human face!

Or a small mythical creature like a human-faced rat!

After all, this is still a dreamland, so it is normal for some mythical creatures to appear.
