Chapter 187: The Straw Man Borrowed an Arrow

The camp officer was dumbfounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info also took a dozen steps back.

His team consisted of a hundred shieldmen, two hundred archers, and seven hundred swordsmen and spearmen. Now that the first round has been fought, and the opponent's face has not been seen clearly, and his side has lost more than a hundred archers, how can this battle continue? Don't you want to attack it?

Fortunately, the order given to him by General Zhong was to make a feint and lure out the ambush soldiers in the dense forest. At least this task is completed.

He had no choice but to let the soldiers stand in place, and he ran quickly to the hill, crying and reporting to General Zhong, who was sitting on the hill watching the battle: "General, there are indeed ambushes in the dense forest!" Our army lost more than a hundred dead and wounded archers. What to do next, please instruct the general! ”

The final general got a chair from nowhere, and sat firmly on the top of the hill to watch the enemy's formation. He was only six or seven hundred steps away from the edge of the dense forest, and less than five hundred steps away from the place where his Jizi battalion was arrayed, and the battle situation in front of him could be seen clearly.

It can be seen from the archery situation on both sides that the number of opponents is not large, no more than fifty at most. And they are all on the edge of the dense forest, easy to annihilate.

"There are not many opponents, you attack from the left!" The general coldly ordered.

"General!" The camp officer stopped wanting to stop again, and when he heard the general's order, he did not carry it out cleanly. More than 100 archers were killed and wounded, and he was very distressed, and now he had to attack again, and he didn't know how many people were killed and wounded. In the end, maybe the merit is not completed, and his Jizi battalion may be wiped out.

General Zhong waved his hand to the camp officer, then turned back to the other battalion officer and ordered: "Shen camp officer, you take the Shen battalion to reinforce the camp officer, you go straight into the dense forest from the right road." Be sure to wipe out all the enemy. Live or die! ”

"Yes!" Shen Yingguan is about the same age as Ji Yingguan, but he is much shorter and has a winter melon face. He waved the command flag in his hand, and his men and horses lined up one after another.

The camp officer thought to himself, this is about the same, with two battalions acting together, there is no fear of ambushes in the dense forest. Then he turned back to his camp, and moved his party a hundred or two paces to the left, where there was a gentle hill with a view of the dense forest.

He also didn't give the order to storm for a long time, and he was looking at the Shenzi camp. If you want to act, you can act together, how can you rush to grab the credit of others?

At this moment, behind a few big trees at the edge of the dense forest, Song Qi was hiding there, quietly watching the enemy's every move. The place where he was hiding was at least five trees away from the edge of the forest.

The sun's rays shone through the gaps in the tall and thick canopy, shining on the mist that was steaming up in the dense forest, shimmering a mysterious sheen around him.

Hua Meng turned his head to look at Song Qi with admiring eyes under another big tree three steps away from him, "Brother Song's trick of the white-clothed strawman borrowing arrows is really clever!" ”

"Brother Song's plan is comparable to Zhuge Liang's straw boat borrowing arrows!" Ao Leopard chuckled softly.

Behind the other trees, there were fifty or so brothers, all of whom were bent and pointed their bows and arrows out of the woods, their faces beaming with excitement. At the moment, there was a pile of arrows next to each of them.

In the beginning, they were most worried about the lack of arrows. To be honest, after the battle of the Dharma Robbery Field, there were no more arrows left around them.

Those white figures were actually straw men, dressed in linen clothes that had been worn for Ming Zhugong, and at this moment they were still standing between the trees at a distance from the three trees at the edge of the dense forest, covered by the shade of the trees, and it was impossible to distinguish the real from the distance. Unexpectedly, these seemingly useless Mai played such a big role at a critical time, and they actually borrowed one or two thousand arrows from the enemy.

Song Qi was not excited at all, and looked at the outside of the dense forest with a solemn face.

The enemy has 10,000 or so men, and now only more than 100 have been eliminated, and there are 9,900 more. The most important thing is that the general seems to be very strategic, and his command seems to be smooth, without any flaws. If they could not subdue the general, and when they stormed in, their brothers would not be able to eat and walk, and it would be extremely difficult for them to walk.

"Brother Song is worried about that general?" Hua Meng seemed to understand Song Qi's thoughts, he understood that Song Qi's usual practice was to capture the thief and capture the king first, so he pressed the sword on his waist and said in a low voice: "Why don't I go over and kill that general?" ”

"Forget it!" Song Qi shook his head, "It's seven or eight hundred steps from here to the hill where the general is, how do you get there?" And there are tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers around him, even if you pass, how can you kill him? ”

"What then?" Hua Meng looked at the general in the distance, and said angrily: "If you don't kill him, how can you end this battle?" ”

Song Qi turned his head to look at Hua Meng and shook his head silently.

At this time, the Jizi battalion just now had moved to the left, and a new group of forbidden soldiers were stationed in the position just now, and they looked more energetic and murderous.

"Attention everyone!" Song Qi gave an order to Hua Meng softly, "Their first battalion was fooled, and the second battalion may not be easily fooled." We're going to shoot a bunch of arrows first. We have a limited number of bows and arrows. Be careful to shoot as many archers as possible. Then we fought and walked and retreated. Be sure to lead them into the jungle and annihilate them in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes!" Hua Meng agreed, and explained to the others one by one.

This Shen Camp Officer is obviously much more cunning than the Ji Camp Officer. He was in the same place, but he was a dozen paces away, and the nearest shield-bearer was out of range.

"Brother Song, what now?" Hua Meng asked Song Qi softly while bending his bow to the outside.

"Don't rush, wait first!" Song Qi also looked out nervously, and the repeater crossbow in his hand was aimed at the battalion officer in the team. It's just that the distance where the opponent is standing is too far away to shoot.

"Why don't I go out and lead him to shoot arrows?" Hua Meng straightened up from behind the branches.

"Never! Don't you see that their bows and arrows are pointed here? You'll be shot as a hedgehog as soon as you get out! Song Qi hurriedly waved his hand to stop it.

"Why don't you throw a straw man out?" Ao Bao suggested.

Song Qi pondered for a long time, "It's okay!" Move the straw man to the tree in front of you! But in this way, there is a risk that the enemy will see that it is fake! ”

Listening to Song Qi's ambiguous words, Ao Bao didn't dare to act rashly, and looked at Song Qi with his eyes, "Then do you want to move?" ”

Song Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Move!" Anyway, the straw man's mission to borrow arrows has been achieved. Now it's up to them to be introduced into the jungle. They see what is false, so that they will despise us and will boldly attack us! ”

Fifty brethren quietly moved forward two trees in each of their arms, holding a straw man.

"Battalion officer! The enemy has moved! One of the shieldmen turned back to report to the Battalion Officer standing in the middle of the line.

The Shen camp officer raised his eyes to the forest, looked at it a few times, and the white shadow moved between the trees, as if he was about to attack them, so he waved the command flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Give me arrows!" (To be continued.) )
