Chapter 506: Demoralization
Huang Fuye sneered and said: "Today, my 200,000 troops are pressing the border, and the general should be self-aware and prepare as soon as possible to avoid making mistakes." β
Su Yi smiled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "These words, it should be what Ben Shuai said to you, once upon a time, the general led 100,000 troops and wanted to attack Ningyang, several times the size of my Qin army, but he returned with a feather and was killed without leaving a piece of armor, this time, I am afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of the past." β
Seeing him mention the past, Huangfu Ye's anger suddenly came up, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the city pass: "Su Yi!" Don't be too arrogant! This time I will break Ningyang! β
"Then we'll see!" Su Yi returned directly.
"Humph!" Huangfu Ye snorted coldly, then flicked the reins, turned the horse's head and returned to the formation.
When he came back, the adjutant general hurriedly came over: "General, are you attacking the city now?" β
"Don't worry, Su Yi is not easy to deal with, and there are 100,000 Qin troops in Ningyang, with the current strength of our army, attacking this place can only be a bloody battle, and we still have to think of a way." Huangfu Ye said.
When Su Yi didn't come, he also tentatively attacked Ningyang twice, but now, he didn't have much confidence at all.
At this time, if you go to attack the city, there will only be one result, that is, the Wu army will pay a heavy price, and the city pass is still impregnable.
So to fight this battle, he has to wait for a fighter.
Wu Jun temporarily retreated.
Seeing that the peace had returned outside the gate, Lian Xiao came to Su Yi and couldn't help but say, "Su Shuai, what trick is this Huangfu Ye playing?" Run out of the city, attack and not attack. β
"He should have wanted to test it, but he seems to be a little worried, and he can't say it."
Su Yi shook his head slightly, and then looked at the half steamed bun in his hand.
There is something beautiful about steamed buns, but he has been staring at them closely, his brows gradually wrinkled, and there was a flash of inspiration in his mind.
Seeing this, Lian Xiao was puzzled and said: "Su Shuai ......"
Su Yi came back to his senses and glanced at him, with a little gleam in his eyes: "You say, if we prepare dry food in advance, and then suddenly attack when the smoke of the Wu army's camp is exhausted, will we catch them off guard?" β
Half of the uneaten steamed buns actually reminded him of these.
After hearing this, Lian Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'll see it!" If Su Shuai decides, it will be up to me to take the lead! β
Taking the initiative has always been Su Yi's habit.
He thought about it for a moment and said: "In this battle, we don't seek to destroy many enemies, the main purpose is to hit the morale of the Wu army. β
"After the attack, the Wu army rushed to fight in a short time, and when you reacted, you immediately retreated, and Huangfu Ye would not dare to chase."
After he finished speaking, Lian Xiao immediately hugged his fists and said, "I understand!" β
"Good! I'll just lay it out. "Su Yi is also clean and neat.
He said that he would do it, and late that night, he ordered Lian Xiao to lead 5,000 troops, carry dry food, and quietly go out of the city, lurking in a mountain forest without knowing it.
This mountain forest is not far or close to the Wu army's camp, it is not an ambush road, and its location is even more irrelevant, so it is not within the scope of Wu Jun's reconnaissance at all.
It's very safe here, and after Lian Xiao arrived sneakily, he has been resting and recuperating, and he has not moved.
By the time of dinner the next day.
The Wu army's camp was full of smoke and began to set up pots to make rice.
After a short time, all parts of the camp could be seen everywhere soldiers gathered in twos and threes, some people gathered in front of the pot stove, from time to time making firewood, some people were sweating profusely, and complained:
"After eating, I have to secretly go to the big river behind me to take a bath, this ghost weather, there is still a war, and the heat is dead......"
"Hey! What's for dinner tonight? β
"Don't look at it, there's no meat......"
It's almost time to eat, and all the Wu soldiers are hungry, where is there a trace of defense.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, in the era of distinct dignity and humility, the food of the commander is, of course, incomparable with that of ordinary soldiers.
In front of the handsome case, several plates of dishes had been served, and Huangfu Ye was holding the dishes to his mouth, and he was still thinking about the war.
Where did he think that Su Yi at this time was bold enough to attack his camp!
Su Yi uses soldiers and likes to be dangerous.
As long as there is the slightest fighter, he will immediately hold on to it.
At this time, it is actually a certain risk to attack the camp of the Wu army, and one is not good, Lian Xiao and others will all be explained here.
But in Su Yi's view, this risk is worth taking, because it is related to the next big war and the morale of both sides.
You must know that in all battles, morale comes first, and the importance of morale is many times greater than the strength of troops.
Just like a rabble of 20,000 people, facing a thousand tiger and wolf divisions with monstrous battle intent, twenty times the opponent, can they win the battle, they will obviously be defeated with one blow.
Right now, in front of the Wu army's camp, there is chaos.
Lian Xiao took the lead, armed with a spear, and killed all directions.
"Killβ"
The five thousand Qin troops who were pressed by the black pressure held their swords high one by one, and after they came in, they would cut down when they met someone, and kill them when they met someone!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attackβ"
Terrible cries filled the camp.
The random arrows struck, instantly knocking over a large area of the defending Wu army.
In the camp, all the Wu soldiers and soldiers were still scattered everywhere, sitting together to eat in twos and threes, and when they heard the enemy attack, they hurriedly threw down the dishes and chopsticks, and they didn't care much, so they got up to find their own halberd and sword, and hurried to the front.
This is also due to the fact that the Wu army battalion is well prepared, and the outpost discovers the enemy situation and warns in advance, otherwise the turmoil will be even greater.
But even so, under the surprise, the front was still caught off guard.
After the Qin army attacked, they took off the oil jar around their waists and threw it everywhere, and then burned a lot of camp tents.
The company camp of the 200,000-strong army is very large, and this is only a small tip.
After doing this, seeing that the Wu army had reacted, and was gathering a large number of troops, wanting to carry out a counterattack, even Xiao did not love to fight, and did not forget Su Yi's explanation, and immediately waved his spear back: "Withdraw!" β
The five thousand Qin army, well-trained, came fast, ran faster, and left after the fight.
At this time, the position of the main account, Huangfu Ye had naturally received the news, where to take care of eating, that is, he hurried to the front.
The adjutant general also hurriedly ran over at this time: "General! The Qin army suddenly attacked the camp, and now it is repulsed by our army, is it chasing the enemy? β
"Stop chasing!" Huangfu Ye's face was somewhat gloomy: "Su Yi is cunning with his soldiers, he dares to attack, and he retreats like this, it is very likely that it is his plan to lure the enemy, and there may be ambushes ahead." β
In fact, where is Su Yi's plan to lure the enemy, but Huangfu Ye has to have this concern.
What he didn't expect was that this Su Yi, with only 100,000 troops, was not good at defending the city, so he actually fought back.
"Fight the fire first!"
He said coldly, his face extremely ugly.
This is just a small battle, and the losses of the Wu army are not serious, but it is an unspeakable blow to their morale, because they are helpless against Ningyang, but the Qin army directly fought back, and won the war.
This is exactly the effect that Su Yi wants.
It is to tell Huangfu Ye and all the Wu army that the Qin army of 100,000 is not only more than enough to defend the city, but will also attack you at any time, so be cautious.
