Chapter 697: Empty Camp
He was so sure that it was as if everything was under control, and people couldn't help but look at each other when they heard it.
But Prince Chu immediately got up, spared the handsome case, then stretched out his sleeve robe, folded his hands, bent down at Qin Mu and bowed deeply, and said, "Everything is up to the general." ”
You must know that the Prince of Chu is very likely to be the future monarch of the Chu State, where is his identity, now that he is acting like this, Qin Mu couldn't help but hurriedly salute: "His Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, it is the king's order to break the enemy army, and he will definitely go all out!" ”
On the side of the prince of Chu, he handed over the temporary command of the army's operations to Qin Mu, who also immediately began to deploy, and the next day, the number of pots in the army was reduced, and there was turmoil, and 'deserters' were everywhere.
People were scolding and scolding, and the sound of noisy shouting could be heard from afar, and such a movement soon spread to Duan Ping, and there was a report from Tan Malai, saying: "General, the enemy's heart is shaken, there is large-scale chaos in the camp, and there is a suspected desertion. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Duan Ping couldn't help but be shocked, but soon, he calmed down again.
He was able to calm down, but the others couldn't sit still, and the partial general immediately said: "General, in terms of time, the enemy's food and grass should be about to run out, and it is inevitable that the army's morale will be shaken and defeated in successive battles. ”
As soon as the general's words were finished, Tang Ze immediately continued: "Yes, General, at this time, the enemy army is in turmoil, if our army seizes the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, they will have no power to resist, but they can put down the rebellion in one fell swoop!" ”
After Tang Ze finished speaking, the other generals also looked like they were about to stand up and persuade, Duan Ping hurriedly waved his hand and looked around at everyone: "You all mean this?" ”
"General, the fighter plane is fleeting......" Tang Ze said again.
"Yes, General, give the order...... "The people followed.
But Duan Ping sneered and said, "Hmph, judging from Ben Shuai, all this is an illusion, and the enemy deliberately lured us to the bait, how can you hide such a small skill from me?" ”
"Huh?" When people heard this, they looked at each other, and some people couldn't help but ask, "Why did the general say this?" ”
Duan Ping said: "Whether it's true or not, Ben Shuai is not very sure, although Wen Cheng is a mediocre talent, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, in the case of not being able to determine the situation, there is no need for our army to attack rashly, in short, now, we will win if we don't fight." ”
"But the general ......," said the general.
Who knew that Duan Ping directly interrupted him and said, "Okay! I have made up my mind, and there is no need to say much about this matter! ”
Ay! People sighed secretly, they all felt that they had missed this opportunity, but Duan Ping was the coach, he didn't give the order to attack, and people couldn't do anything.
Duan Ping's side was not easily fooled, this was originally expected by Qin Mu, and he was not in a hurry, but everything was still going according to the original plan.
Another day later, Prince Chu withdrew from the camp, and the entire camp, when it was time to eat, there was no smoke rising. This is something that is simply impossible to happen in the army, under normal circumstances, because soldiers fight, and if they don't eat, how can it be!
Such a situation naturally reached Duan Ping's ears again, and at this time, a group of partial generals began to ask for orders to fight again, but Duan Ping was still a little hesitant, he waved his hand slightly, frowned and said: "Don't worry, this matter is weird, wait a minute!" ”
waited until noon, but when it came to lunchtime, there was still no smoke on Prince Chu's side, and the entire camp was lifeless.
At this time, even Duan Ping couldn't sit still, he stared at the soldiers who came to report, and asked in a condensed voice: "You mean, the enemy battalion, until now, has not made a fire to make food?" ”
"Yes General." The soldier replied.
"Have you found it all!?" Duan Ping asked uneasily.
"Oh general, how dare your subordinates talk nonsense about such a big thing!" The soldier hurriedly said.
"Well, Ben Shuai knows." Duan Ping nodded, then waved his hand and sent the soldier away.
After the soldiers retreated, all the generals in the tent couldn't help it, and someone immediately stood up, clenched his fists and said: "General, judging from the current situation, the enemy army is probably running out of food and has chosen to retreat." ”
"That's right, the enemy army has been defeated in successive battles, and it is chaotic, and they can only choose to retreat when they run out of food, and there are no cooking smoke rising for two meals today, even if there is fraud, then their soldiers have not eaten in the morning and noon, how can they have combat strength?" There is another bias.
He is right, if the food and grass are exhausted, reduce the food, it is understandable not to eat in the morning, but not to eat at noon, it is simply impossible!
Thinking of this, Duan Ping pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay! General Wei, you will lead 30,000 horses as the vanguard to make a tentative attack on the enemy camp! ”
"No!" The general surnamed Wei immediately responded with a fist.
"Remember, be careful, and come back immediately if there is anything abnormal!" Duan Ping said uncomfortably.
"The last general understands!" General Wei clenched his fists and left.
Soon, he led 30,000 horses and arrived outside the camp of Prince Chu, at this time, the entire camp no longer had the scene of soldiers patrolling and guarding in the past, but from a distance, there were rows of soldiers standing on the wall.
"Stop!" After reaching a certain distance, General Wei raised his hand and signaled for the team to stop.
He was on his horse, and when he looked closely, he saw rows of soldiers wearing armor and helmets standing there on the top of the enemy's walled tower.
Seeing this, he was even more puzzled, because under normal circumstances, if there were enemy troops in the camp, they would have already launched an attack on their own side, but the soldiers on the walled tower did not move a little, and just quietly watched their own approach to the camp.
After doubting, General Wei hesitated for a moment, and then ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”
With his order, the soldiers in the front row began to bow and arrow, and then fired a volley of arrows!
The sparse rain of arrows shot at the camp and also at the 'soldiers' on the walled tower, but after a round of arrow rain, the other party not only did not fight back, but did not even let out a miserable howl.
And the 'soldiers' on the upper floor of the village were covered with carved feathers, but they still stood there and did not move.
What's going on? General Wei's eyes widened suddenly!
After being shocked, he immediately pointed at one of his subordinates and said, "You! Go see what's going on! ”
"No!" The man answered, and then rode out and ran to the camp.
Soon, he came back again, and then reported to General Wei: "General Yu, the people on the walled floor are all straw men. ”
"What? Straw man? ”
