Chapter 128: Making Something Out of Nothing (Part II)

"I'm going to find out for myself!" Your patience is about to be worn out.

"General, as the commander of an army, how can you take the risk yourself, in case the officers and soldiers and cavalry suddenly chase after you, what should you do? I'll go for it! Vice Admiral Bu Ji stopped.

"I'm careful, if I probe two hundred steps away, I won't be discovered by the officers and soldiers." Seeing is believing, and Bu Ji wants to investigate it himself.

After speaking, Bu Ji took a few personal guards, hid in the dark, and slowly crawled towards the Han army camp.

He crawled in the grass and looked at the officers and soldiers and cavalry a hundred paces away, just like the situation reported by his subordinates.

Hundreds of horsemen hovered at the forefront, and about two hundred paces from Buji was a dense crowd of infantry.

After determining the movements of the officers and soldiers, Bu Ji secretly retreated.

After returning to the camp, he ordered the soldiers to be ready and cheer up, and the officers and soldiers could attack at any time.

It was not too cold in the middle of the night in summer, but there were too many mosquitoes, and the soldiers in ambush in the camp did not feel it, but the soldiers in ambush outside the camp were miserable.

Before you know it, it's time for Pingdan. All the Yellow Turban soldiers were in a state of limbo, and they forced themselves not to fall asleep, this is the battlefield, not child's play.

"General, if the officers and soldiers don't come to attack us, how about we attack it?" The adjutant put his hand in his arms and scratched it, and suggested to Bu Ji.

"The officers and men are the same as our army, they are all in a strict formation, if they are tough, I am afraid they are not the opponents of the officers and soldiers, maybe the officers and soldiers also have ambushes, just waiting for our army to attack." Bu Ji shook his head and said.

This battle is related to their survival and death, and they are extremely cautious.

"General, the strength of the officers and soldiers is gradually decreasing, and many camps have been uprooted." At this time, the Yellow Turban Scout ran over to report to Bu Ji.

"Damn, it's been five watches now, and after a night of hard work, the officers and soldiers have withdrawn their troops. What does that mean exactly? The adjutant said angrily.

"General, the brethren are tired, tell them to go down and rest!" One of the Yellow Turban leaders yawned and said to Bu Ji.

"Liu Fan is not only brave, but also resourceful, he will not be untargeted. I think this is Liu Fan's strategy to exhaust our army, exhaust our army at night, and attack our army on a large scale when our army rests during the day. The more he thought about it, the more likely he became.

As soon as Bu Ji said this, many Yellow Turban leaders suddenly realized, because Bu Ji's words made sense.

"Chiefs, convey the general's words, so that the brethren can understand that if you don't want to die, cheer up." The lieutenant commanded the surrounding leaders.

On the side of the Han army's formation, there were many more camps, and the camps were connected one by one, almost blocking all the roads that the yellow scarves could protrude.

A soldier was seen holding a straw man in one hand and stuffing it into a tent.

The same is true for other soldiers.

After a while, 10,000 straw men were all stuffed into various camp tents by officers and soldiers.

"Keep patrolling, and the others will rest!" After finishing, Liu Fan ordered the soldiers.

It turned out that from beginning to end, only 300 horsemen patrolled in front of the camp, and the rest of the "soldiers" were scarecrows.

Liu Fan ordered the three hundred cavalry to stay a hundred steps away from the straw man, and at night, even if the moon was bright, he could only see vaguely what was a hundred steps away, not to mention that the Yellow Turban scouts did not dare to approach the hundreds of cavalry at all.

"Haha, the lord is really clever, the Yellow Turban must think that these straw men are reinforcements for our army, all of them are in the camp and are waiting for them, they haven't slept all night, and our army is resting except for the soldiers on patrol." Guan Yu laughed and said with admiration.

"Not only will the yellow scarves not be able to sleep last night, but they will also have difficulty falling asleep during the day today. After sunrise, except for the 300 cavalry who patrolled last night, the rest of the cavalry went to the area around the Yellow Turban camp to make a posture to attack, but they were not allowed to attack. After dark, 10,000 straw men were laid out, but fifty paces ahead. Liu Fan ordered Guan Yu.

"No!" Guan Yu took the order.

There is a first step in creating something out of nothing, showing the enemy as a fake. Convince your opponent of the truth.

Bu Ji didn't know the truth and believed that Liu Fan's reinforcements had arrived, but in fact, the 8,000 infantry under Liu Fan's command were ten miles away, motionless.

Bu Ji's personality is not very suspicious, but he is very cautious. Making things out of nothing is especially effective for cautious, suspicious commanders.

After sunrise, Guan Yu's 1,700 horsemen had eaten and approached the Buji military camp.

The sound of a thousand galloping horses woke the drowsy Yellow Turban soldier abruptly.

Officers and soldiers are going on the offensive!

All the yellow scarves tensed up.

But at the moment, they are hungry and sleepy, and they can't raise much combat strength at all.

The yellow scarf eats twice a day, and the time to eat is the same as the time to eat in this era, and breakfast is the time of the hour. It's not time for them to eat.

The heart is haggard, and these four words can be used to describe the Yellow Turban soldiers at this time.

"If you don't come early, you don't come late, but this is the time. I knew that I would let the soldiers bury the pot and cook first. Bu Ji scolded Liu Fan in his heart for being insidious and cunning.

If he hadn't heard the hoofs of the officers and soldiers, he would have fallen asleep. When I wanted to mention my combat strength, I was hungry, and I could imagine the situation of the other soldiers.

Just when Bu Ji thought that his side would lose more and win less, the actions of the officers and soldiers were unexpected.

Nearly 2,000 officers and soldiers marched 100 paces away from the Yellow Turban Camp. And there was no attack on them.

An hour later, the hour came.

Guan Yu led the cavalry to attack many times, but none of them really attacked.

"What kind of medicine is sold in Liu Fan's gourd? No matter what, let the soldiers bury the pot and cook! Bu Ji couldn't wait any longer and ordered.

Although he knew that the smoke was rising from his side, there was a good chance that the officers and soldiers would attack. But he had to give this order.

It's not that he can't bear this hunger, but he is afraid that the team will mutiny.

The people participate in the Yellow Turbans just to eat with their mouths, and there are few ambitious people.

Liu Fan had a good reputation, and he knew that many Yellow Turban soldiers would surrender to Liu Fan when they were cornered.

Ordinary yellow turbans can surrender, but they can't. It is said that Liu Fan exterminated all of them, the leaders of the Yellow Turbans.

Not for others, only for yourself.

Behold? The officers and men ignored their own cooking smoke. Still wandering around the camp.

After the yellow scarf was full of food and drink, he had a little confidence.

Forcibly endured the tired body and confronted the officers and soldiers.

In the middle of the day, the officers and cavalry returned.

Just when the Yellow Turban soldiers thought they could finally rest, the officers and soldiers rushed over again.

The Yellow Turban lost his soul.

Three days later, at night.

"Tell the general, there are hundreds of officers and soldiers, only a hundred steps away from our army camp, and there are still dense infantry two hundred steps away."

Officers and soldiers are here again tonight! And it's getting closer to them!

A hundred steps, you can rush into the camp at any time. Two hundred paces away, there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.

The night was long. Don't know how to sleep?
