Chapter 436 He’s Dead (4)
The Turks were cruel by nature. It was impossible for the city guards, who had been slacking for many years, to fight against them. From the sound of it, the Turks came in swarms. Fear was mutual. For a moment, the footsteps of the city guards were all shivering.
Just as the people not far away were getting restless, someone suddenly shouted, “What’s that?”
Even the sound of the heavy rain could not drown out the surprise in his words. Everyone turned around and saw that torches of all sizes had appeared in Spring City. These torches densely packed the city streets, accompanied by the sound of horses and men shouting.
When the two armies faced each other, they would naturally infiltrate their spies into the city to gather information. The people guarding the city could see it from the city gate, and the spies of the Turks could see it too. The torches that appeared out of nowhere were especially bright in the rainy night, and the deafening shouts were accompanied by the sound of horses stepping on the ground.
“It’s the Luo army! It’s the Luo army!” Someone shouted and knelt down in joy. “The Luo army is coming back!”
The Luo family, the family of generals, had been in decline for many years, and the Luo army was also in a mess. The sudden shout reminded everyone of the unstoppable days of Luo Sui leading the army back then. It was as if they suddenly had a new hope. Their morale soared in an instant. The few people guarding the city drew their swords and looked around. The blood and heat in their bones seemed to have been ignited. They shouted with might, and together with the inexplicable troops in the city, they scared the Turks out of their wits.
The sudden increase in morale and the sudden increase in troops obviously shocked the Turks. They did not dare to approach any closer. After two hours of stalemate, the two sides were in a deadlock. Just as the Turks felt that something was wrong, deafening cries suddenly came from Spring City. This time, they thought that Shen Xin and the others had returned.
Although the Turks were well-built and had strong horses, they were not as experienced as Luo Sui and Shen Xin who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years. They were quickly defeated.
In Spring City, at the entrance of the Luo mansion, Luo Ling heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the report sent back from the city guard. He bowed respectfully to Shen Miao and said, “Thank you, Cousin Miao.”
“Little Cousin is so smart!” Luo Qian exclaimed, “She actually thought of such a brilliant way.”
Shen Miao asked Luo Ling to gather everyone in the mansion and then go to the street to gather the people. They lit up all the torches that could be used and asked the blacksmith to use the horseshoe to imitate the sound of hooves hitting the ground. The people of Spring City knew that this was a critical moment, so they shouted with all their might. In addition, with the blowing wind and rain, it was more than enough to deceive the Turks outside.
When the Turks saw so many torches, they subconsciously thought that there were many people. With the sound of hooves, shouts, and fear for the Luo army, the Turks were afraid and did not dare to go forward blindly. They wanted to try to probe and stall for time. As long as Shen Xin returned, they would be able to deal with everything.
It sounded like a simple strategy, but people tended to lose their composure in critical situations, so much so that they couldn’t even think of the obvious.
Luo Sa’s attitude towards Shen Miao changed a lot. He said, “It’s all thanks to you this time.”
Ever since Shen Miao came up with this idea, Luo Tan had been full of admiration for her. Seeing that this plan worked, she held Shen Miao’s arm and asked, “Cousin Miao, tell me the truth. Did you read a lot of military books? I remember that this is what is written in the military book in Grandpa’s study.”
