"It's considered to repay you for saving me for your life."

Looking at Mu Lin's departure back, Lu Lingqi shook her head with a wry smile.

Lu Lingqi would agree to lend a thousand dead soldiers to Mulin, which was mixed with this meaning of "repaying kindness".

Of course, although he was willing to hand over a thousand dead soldiers to Mu Lin, Lu Lingqi still didn't expect Mu Lin in her heart. There were indeed some secrets on Mu Lin, but Lu Lingqi did not think that the secrets on him could help her turn the situation around the war and help her block the tens of thousands of Cao Cao's army. It would be difficult to win this battle...the hope was very slim.

...

"General, when will we attack? Our army's strength is far superior to that of Lu Bu's army. As long as we attack, Lu Bu's army will be completely unable to withstand our shock waves. Why do the general have to wait?"

On a flat ground in Cao Jun camp, Xiahou Yuan looked at the city sitting on the ground, namely Xia Pi City, with a little thought.

Cao Cao's army has been stationed outside Xia Pi City for nearly two or three days, but has been reluctant to attack. Not only did the Lu Bu army in Xia Pi City be confused, but even the soldiers and many generals of Cao Cao's army were confused. Although the total strength of Cao Cao's army is several times that of Lu Bu's army, as long as it attacks, Xia Pi City is very likely to not even resist the first wave of attack. However, as the main general of Cao's army's attack on Xia Pi City this time, Xiahou Yuan delayed for three days and still did not choose to attack.

"The time is not right, so we can't attack, but... there is still half a day before the military advisor said. Tomorrow is early tomorrow morning, it will be the time to launch an attack."

Ignoring the subordinates behind him, Xiahou Yuan had his own ideas.

Cao Cao's army stationed outside Xia Pi City for nearly three days, but still did not attack. It was not that Cao Cao's army had other support troops not arrived. This was not Xiahou Yuan's idea. It was a plan for this siege by Xun Yu, a military advisor who was far away in Xuchang, saying that he would not rush to attack first. He just had to wait outside the city for two or three days before launching an attack. In this way, the success rate of attacking Xia Pi City would be much higher.

Xiahou Yuan has never understood this point.

Why can Cao Cao's army increase the success rate of the capture of Xia Pi City by waiting for three days outside? If this is said from others, Xiahou Yuan would definitely think it is very unrestrained, but this sentence is said from Xun Yu, the "talent of the king and the assistant"...

The next morning, Cao Cao's army, who had been stationed outside Xia Pi City for a long time, finally began to attack!

In Xia Pi City, the sound of drums was shaking the sky. The soldiers of Lu Bu Army, who were still in poverty, were awakened by the sound of drums that resounded throughout the city. A group of confused soldiers began to gather quickly and wait for the battle.

Above the city walls, the dense archer teams have finished their narration, but the fatigue on their faces is very strong. Obviously, they were all awakened from their sleep. If a person hasn't had enough sleep, then how much combat power can he exert even if he wakes up?

When Xiahou Yuan saw the tired Lu Bu soldiers on Xia Pi City, he finally understood what the military advisor Xun Yu said.

Surrounded by Cao Cao's army, which far exceeds his own forces, almost everyone in Xia Pi City is in a high degree of tension. How many people can sleep? How well? Some soldiers are even nervous and have not closed their eyes for two days and two nights. It would be strange if they are not tired.

This is to say that someone clearly told you that he was going to kill you, but he just didn't show up... You can't know when he would appear and take your life away. You never know if there is a knife behind you that is quietly approaching you. In this case, can you sleep? Can you not be nervous?

Moreover, in the past few days, Cao Cao's army has not been attacking, and has not attacked. This has made Cao Cao's army much more mysterious. Everyone is wondering whether Cao Cao's army still has support? Now the troops are extremely powerful. If there is support, does Xia Pi City really have a chance to defend?

Thinking of this, the soldiers in Xia Pi City became even more afraid and nervous.

In this way, the fear and doubt in their hearts were tortured by the soldiers of the Lu Bu army who were in high tension for two or three days. This pain almost made the soldiers of the Lu Bu army crazy. They would rather Cao Cao army attack immediately than be tortured like this.

After being tortured by this mental torture for three days, the soldiers of the Lu Bu army were not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted. In this case, how many levels of strength can the soldiers of the Lu Bu army exert?

I have to say that Xun Yu is indeed a famous strategist in the Three Kingdoms. A plan offered by him at will caused such a great crisis to the Lu Bu army in Xia Pi City, which reduced the probability of Lu Bu army defending Xia Pi City from one fifth to one-tenth, or even smaller...

On the other hand, when he learned about Cao Cao's army's siege, Lu Lingqi immediately came to the city wall. Looking at the slowly advancing Cao Cao's army, Lu Lingqi frowned.

Lu Lingqi also saw the current situation of the soldiers of Lu Bu’s army. How could she not understand the reason why Cao Cao’s army has not attacked?

When he saw the tired expressions of the soldiers beside him, Lu Lingqi had a rough heart.

He sighed slightly in his heart, and Lu Lingqi had no choice but to do anything about it.

I can't order an attack on Cao Cao's army when Lu Bu's army is in good spirits, right? What's the difference between seeking death?

The reason why Lu Bu's army has a one-fifth chance of victory in this battle is because they are the "defensive" side. They are in Xia Pi City, and they have certain advantages. If they rush out of the city, Lu Bu's army has more than 10,000 soldiers, and facing Cao Cao's army's 50,000 or 60,000 troops, this is probably not a slight chance of winning, right?

However, now, after three days of mental torture, the only advantage of Lu Bu’s army has been weakened by half. Looking at the tired soldiers, how many levels of strength can they exert?

Thinking of this, Lu Lingqi felt even more helpless...

All the situations are very unfavorable for Lu Bujun at this moment...

How should I stop the densely packed 50,000 or 60,000 Cao Cao's army?

Even Lu Lingqi had to admit at this moment that the chances of Lu Bu's army being able to defend Xia Pi City were far less than one-fifth...

The huge Cao Cao army, even Lu Lingqi, who had unparalleled combat power, felt deeply powerless.

"Where is Mulin?"

Suddenly, Lu Lingqi thought of someone, the little soldier who borrowed her a thousand dead soldiers and said she could help her defend Xia Pi City.

Although he didn't have any hope for him, at this moment, Lu Lingqi thought of him for some reason.

"Report to the general, the thief disappeared in Xia Pi City a day ago, without a trace, and no words were left behind. Even the thousand dead soldiers seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, disappearing into Xia Pi City. The subordinates were afraid of disturbing General Lu Lingqi, so they never dared to report to you... Please punish the general!"

The soldier who was asked immediately knelt on the ground in panic and took the crime.

"What!! He disappeared!? He took all the thousand dead soldiers away?"

With his mouth open, Lu Lingqi's heart was not only shocked, but also a deep sense of disappointment and depression.

The little soldier who boldly told him to help him guard Xia Pi City disappeared with the 1,000 death soldiers he gave...

Although Lu Lingqi did not have any expectations for him, at that time, when Lu Lingqi was most helpless, Lu Lingqi was already very moved by the fact that someone had that kindness. Moreover, Lu Lingqi had always had a special feeling for that Mu Lin. She didn't know whether she liked Lu Lingqi, but she did care more about him than ordinary people.

Unexpectedly, the person who gave him a glimmer of hope when he was most helpless... disappeared.

Now that the other party just disappeared at this time, how could Lu Lingqi not know that she was deceived?

Lu Lingqi still doesn’t understand why Mu Lin lied to herself?

Just for the one thousand dead soldiers under his command? This seems to be unreasonable? He tried his best to block the fatal arrow for himself, just for the one thousand dead soldiers under his command?

If Mu Lin is a spy sent by the enemy... this is impossible.

If he was a spy, why risk his life to block that arrow for himself? Wouldn't it be better to let himself be shot by that arrow?

I wanted to break my head, but Lu Lingqi didn't think of it.

I have to say that Mu Lin's blow to Lu Lingqi was quite a big blow. First, he was hit by Xun Yu's "scheme", and then he learned about Mu Lin's "deception" about himself.

Originally, Lu Lingqi was deeply powerless when facing the huge Cao Cao army. Now the "glitter" hope that the Mulin gave Lu Lingqi is now shattered.

At this moment, Lu Lingqi no longer knows who to rely on and who can rely on...

Looking at the slowly advancing Cao's army in a daze, Lu Lingqi said nothing.
