"Okay, it's getting late. It might rain again later. Let the monsters and people living in the city hide in the house first and have a good rest." Diao Si said this and gave the order. The general Ziguang looked surprised when he heard this.
"Is it not early? Is it going to rain?" the general asked, because there were still a few hours left before the sun set, and the weather was so clear that it didn't look like it was going to rain.
"This is for you to tell them. The real reason is that I don't want them to stay outside to avoid more conflicts." Diao Si responded. He didn't want to explain too many reasons to these generals.
After hearing this, the general reminded him: "But we are still erecting the backup arrow tower, and the factory is also producing arrows. If we stop..."
"Okay, they have been busy for so long and they should take a break. Let them take a break first to prevent their resistance from getting worse." Diao Si still took the trouble to explain to them.
After the general left, Diao Si gave an order to the other generals, asking them to arrange for all non-archer warriors to assemble behind the city gate, and then immediately remove the stone from the city gate.
The generals couldn't understand Diao Si's request. They gathered at the city gate. Are they suddenly going to send troops again? In fact, Diao Si only had one purpose in doing this, which was to let the imperial army's scouts go back and make false reports.
"Commander, why did those stones take so long to be piled up, and now they are suddenly taken away? How can our soldiers be convinced?" Generals continued to raise their doubts.
Diao Si responded: "No, I just want to train the troops and see their efficiency. They have been stunned for too long, and they will not be able to adapt to the real fight."
In fact, this has nothing to do with it. The Imperial Army is still in the nearby village, and they have to march for two or three hours to get over. But he had to do this to deceive the Imperial birdmen who might come to spy on their reality. They were coming.
The Imperial Army is not approaching now, and they are not even showing their faces. They probably want to attack at night. Although this night is very short, with the current strength of the Imperial Army, they are fully capable of capturing Ruifeng City in one go. .
How to prepare yourself at night? This may only rely on those birdmen to scout. In fact, Diao Si believed that the Imperial Army would not choose to attack at night. Firstly, there was no benefit to the Imperial Army's siege at night. Secondly, they could not attack but Ruifeng City had to defend itself.
While Diao Si was still thinking, the Imperial Army's reconnaissance force arrived. They were a large group of birdmen. They flew very high, so that bows and arrows could not reach them.
Diao Si understood that the imperial army may have guessed that he was retaining the birdman troops, and now sent the birdman troops here just to see Diao Si's reaction. But Diao Si was ready. Even if he allowed the imperial army's birdmen to scout, he still wanted to keep the birdmen in Ruifeng City.
In this way, the birdmen of the Imperial Army were flying around provocatively over Ruifeng City. They could definitely bring back the situation in Ruifeng City. Even if Diao Si asked the birdmen to attack now, it would be impossible to defeat them all.
However, then those birdmen actually spoke loudly, saying how powerful the imperial army was, how easily they captured Ruifeng City, and so on. This was to shake the military morale of Ruifeng City, but unfortunately they did not dare to fly too low, and the various creatures below were making too much noise, and not many creatures could hear them.
At this time, the general in charge of the elite archery team sent someone over to remind Diao Si that the birdmen were already within their shooting range. But Diao Si still asked them to wait first, then asked the birdmen to fly lower, and then asked the person to report back, hoping that they would drop some food that the birdmen liked to eat in a place where they can easily see it in the city to lure them down.
Birds die for food. Although Diao Si is not sure that those birdmen will even take their lives, he believes that they will fly lower when they think it is safe. Diao Si was waiting there for those birdmen who were performing as if they were performing. They were still flying around Ruifeng City, but their flying height had obviously dropped a little.
It wasn't until they seemed about to fly back and start flying high that Diao Si ordered the arrows to be released, and soon some of the birdmen were shot down. When other birdmen saw it, they immediately flew straight up into the sky, but one after another the birdmen continued to be shot. Shoot down.
But soon, they flew high and stopped when Ruifeng City's arrows could not reach them. About a dozen birdmen were shot down, and those who were not dead must have been captured.
Diao Si walked over while thinking. The imperial army may have captured their elite birdmen before and then tortured them for information about Ruifeng City. Now that the birdmen are sent here like this, don't they know that they will also be tortured to get their information
It is very likely that this was an arrangement by the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army. She deliberately asked the birdmen to report the news. These birdmen came here for many purposes. In addition to reconnaissance of the intelligence of Ruifeng City and the consumption of the birdmen in Ruifeng City, they also wanted to convey information. False information.
Arriving in front of the captured birdmen, the general who was interrogating the birdmen happily told Diao Si that she already knew the information that the imperial army was preparing to attack that night.
Seeing her excited look, Diao Si just smiled and then asked the birdmen: "What is your mission here?"
"Reconnaissance of the enemy."
"Cut off its toes one by one!"
Hearing what Diao Si said, the general showed his weapon, and with one swing, the birdman screamed and struggled on the ground. All its toes had been chopped off.
In fact, what Diao Si asked for was to cut off each one slowly, so as to scare these birdmen better, but this general also wanted to express himself. Forget it, this is not the time to criticize her.
"I want the complete mission, the details of the mission!" Diao Si asked the birdmen loudly, and their faces turned pale with fear.
"Mr. this man, our captain gave us this mission. He told us to fly here for a while and not leave until the enemy attacks. If the enemy also sends birdmen, we will lure them away first..."
"Then I want to hear, when did you know you were going to attack tonight?"
"Because the captain told us that we still have tasks tonight, and the commander-in-chief will launch a general attack at night to capture Ruifeng City in one fell swoop."
Diao Si knew that they were not lying, but listening to what they said, Diao Si was almost certain that this was a trick by the commander of the imperial army, who wanted to drain Ruifeng City's energy.
"That's enough, kill them all, then let everyone rest for a while, and then continue to do the work that has not been done before." Diao Si said as he was about to leave, but the generals were talking about it.
"Commander, don't we need to prepare for the battle tonight?" they reminded Diao Si.
"No need, they won't come, at least the big troops won't come. You need to re-stack the stones behind the city gate first. We need to have a good rest today and just leave some small teams to keep watch." Diao Si responded. .
"But this is information obtained from the enemy's mouths. It is impossible for them to lie..."
"I know they didn't lie. This is what the enemy deliberately let us know. They just want us to have no peace. Do you understand?"
"Then what if they really attack at night?"
"I promise not." After saying this, Diao Si paused and paid attention to the expressions of the generals. In fact, it was really not easy to let them sleep peacefully. After all, it was very important.
"Okay, I will prepare some teams to deal with it. Now let's continue the work we have not finished before, and then you all go to rest. This is an order!"
In this way, the generals began to disperse, and Diao Si walked towards the places crowded with creatures to understand the situation. After all, with so many creatures suddenly crowding into the city, there are quite a lot of hidden dangers. If you find them in time, you can prepare in advance.
All the preparation work in the city was started again, and Diao Si continued to visit the bow and arrow workshops and other places to check. As we continue to be busy like this, the last sun gradually sets and it begins to get dark.
So far there has been no movement from the Imperial Army, and it really feels like they are preparing for a night attack. What will this night be like? Diao Si still had no idea, because the Imperial Army might have deliberately let those birdmen leak information to Ruifeng City, and then made them think they didn't need to take precautions before actually attacking.
