Chapter 421: One bang, then another decline, three and one exhaustion
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
The kid's drum hammer as thick as an arm hit the big drum covered in cowhide, making a dull sound.
"Quick! Get ready to attack!"
As soon as Xia Liantra heard the drums, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked his soldiers to prepare for attacking the Chen family village.
Xu Zhendong cursed in his heart that the monkey was a monkey, and it was really a mud that could not be supported on the wall.
There were only drums in the Chen family village. Although there were also shouts of killing, the door of the Chen family's mansion was closed, so how could it really mean to send troops? It was probably the old fox of the Chen family's suspicious plan.
The result was exactly what Xu Zhendong guessed.
When Xia Liantra was ready for the attack, the drums in the Chen family village stopped abruptly, and the shouts of killing stopped at the same time. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion.
"What's going on?"
Xia Liantra found Xu Zhendong in a daze and asked, "There were obviously drums coming just now, why is there no movement now?"
Xu Zhendong suppressed the contempt in his heart and replied with a flattering smile: "General Xia Liantra, don't panic. According to the villain's opinion, it is probably the suspicious view of the old fox of the Chen family. If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid I will come here twice in a while."
"Do it again?"
Chaliantra asked, "Didn't you say you'd go forward when you hear the drums? This..."
Xu Zhendongdao: "The Zuo Zhuan says that in one go, one will lose again, and three times will be exhausted. Old Chen is the opposite of the way—"
"When the first drum sounded, we must be ready to advance. If the old man Chen kept his troops and did not fight with me, our morale would be frustrated."
"When the second drum sounds, we still have to prepare for the army, but Old Man Chen still holds his troops. If it is not expected, I am afraid that Old Man Chen will still hold his troops when the third drum sounds."
"At that time, although our army is despised, its morale will be affected. If Chen Laopin fights again, our army will inevitably take advantage of it in a hurry."
After hearing Xu Zhendong's explanation, Xia Liantra couldn't help but nodded and said, "Since that's the case, just tell the soldiers, no matter how old Mr. Chen provoked, just ignore it?"
Xu Zhendong shook his head and replied, "This is the one that is in a dilemma - when should you be careful? When should you ignore it? No one knows when that old man Chen will go to the battle."
Shaliantra was furious and shouted, "If so, can you only allow the old man to continue to provoke?"
Xu Zhendong was about to answer, but he didn't expect that the breeze was gradually rising, and the fragrance of food came from the Chen family village.
You know, when Xia Liantra and Xu Zhendong were ambushing and arresting Chen Qilang, it was the time when they had just used breakfast in the morning. After the punishment was used, they rushed to Chenjiazhuang again. It was already afternoon, and now the sun was about to set.
But these people didn't have the habit of having lunch, so they were already hungry. In addition, the unlucky breeze brought the fragrance of food, even Xu Zhendong and Xia Liantra couldn't help but make noises in their stomachs, let alone those ordinary soldiers.
"Not to be a son of man!"
Xu Zhendong cursed, turned his head and said to Xia Liantra: "According to the villain's opinion, if you cannot break the Chen family's village immediately, it is better to surround and not attack. Let the old man Chen do whatever he wants. I will remain unmoved. In just ten days and half a month, the Chen family's village will be destroyed."
Xia Liantra said with a dark face: "Ten days and half a month? Do you know how much military rations and how much money will be used in these ten days and half a month?"
Xu Zhendong looked at Xia Liantra in a daze, his face full of disbelief - Is this a war? How can you feel sorry for the little money and food? Then beat your mother?!
At this moment, there was a dongdong drum sound from the Chen family village. Xia Liantra and Xu Zhendong had to order their soldiers and servants to be on guard again.
However, after the Sanfoqi soldiers under Xia Liantra and the trusted servants under Xu Zhendong formed the formation, the drums and shouts of killing in Chenjiazhuang also came to an abrupt end.
This made the Three Buddhas soldiers under Xia Liantra and the trusted servants of Xu Zhendong's men complained about - is this a war or a monkey?
Xia Liantra naturally discovered that something was wrong in the army, and couldn't help but look at Xu Zhendong with a gloomy face: "You said just now that they will beat two more drums and then come out to attack?"
Xu Zhendong said: "This is not easy to say. It may come out the next drum, or it may take the next drum before it comes out. In short, the villain is not very good..."
Sharentra's face suddenly became even more stinky, and he snorted coldly: "If they don't come out, can we just wait like this? We can't attack directly?"
Xu Zhendong thought to himself, you can't use your pig brain to think about it. Just catch one Chen Qilang and kill you many subordinates. Now facing the heavily guarded Chen family village, you actually asked if you can attack directly? You didn't know a little about it!
After complaining secretly, Xu Zhendong still bowed slightly and replied: "According to the villain's opinion, it is better to wait for the effort to attack directly-
Although Mr. Chen has indeed affected the morale of our army, as the saying goes, one-time move, and then decline, and then exhaustion may not affect his Chen family. If it is not as expected by villains, I am afraid that after two drums in the future, Mr. Chen will send troops to attack."
Sharentra doubted, "You are so sure that Old Man Chen will not send someone to attack the next drum?"
Xu Zhendong shook his head and replied, "No one can tell what Mr. Chen is planning, so he still needs to be wary of him."
"But if the villain is Chen Lao Pian, he will definitely not send people to attack when the third drum is used, but will choose to attack when the fourth drum is used or the fifth drum is used. Only in this way can he paralyze the opponent to the greatest extent."
Xia Liantra was convinced by Xu Zhendong's inference. He nodded immediately and ordered to the personal soldiers beside him: "To pass on my general order, the front army must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the central army and the rear army must not be slackened. In addition, let someone prepare food."
...
Fireworks began to rise behind Shaliantra's troops.
Old Master Chen nodded secretly, then stroked his beard and said, "Silang, Wulang, Liulang?"
Silang Chen Yanhui, Wulang Chen Yande, and Liulang Chen Yanzhao immediately bowed and replied, "The child is here!"
