Chapter 137: Seeing Through the Scheme

"Big brother, you are really amazing, just a little trick to play the enemy army around, a big battle, the enemy army has at least hundreds of casualties." Although the enemy army has stopped killing each other, Iron Bull is still excited.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded, the corners of his mouth smiled indifferently, but his heart was the same as Tie Niu, and he had already blossomed.

"Big brother, you see, a few enemy soldiers are coming towards us." Wang San pinched his throat and whispered.

Hua An looked up and saw that there were five or six enemy soldiers in front of him, holding torches, walking towards his position, less than fifty paces away.

"Retreat, you retreat first." Hua An gave the order in a whisper.

Wang San and Tie Niu immediately retreated quietly along the path with a hundred soldiers, and Hua'an observed for a while, and saw that the enemy army was approaching the entrance of the fork in the road, so he stepped on his war horse and quietly left.

"Lord, there's a fork in the road." A soldier first spotted a hidden fork in the road.

When the enemy commander heard this, he immediately rode his horse and galloped over, only to see a winding path behind a dense grass in front of him. ”

"Lord, look, the grass nearby is lying down, and the Jin army must have rested here just now." A soldier with a torch pointed to the grass where the Jin army was sitting on his stomach and said loudly.

When the enemy army leader heard this, he was immediately angry, the Jin army actually camped under his nose, needless to say, the mess of killing himself and his subordinates just now must have been seen as a joke by the Jin army.

"The hateful Jin army, this will definitely break you into thousands of pieces." The enemy leader clenched his fists and roared viciously.

"Lord, the grass where the Jin army sat is still hot, they must have just left."

"Lord, there's a pile of horse manure here, and it's hot."

The two soldiers noticed it and immediately reported it.

When the enemy commander heard this, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered loudly: "The whole army is pursuing, drive the ......" After speaking, the first horse chased after him.

More than 2,000 subordinates, except for more than 100 wounded soldiers, remained in place, and the rest of the men and horses accelerated along the path to chase forward.

#####

On the east side of the Zhao army's camp, the main general Tao Leopard mobilized nearly 30,000 troops to prepare for a decisive battle with the Jin army who robbed the camp, but to Tao Leopard's disappointment, when he hurriedly assembled the main army, the Jin army did not attack, but still beat the drum five hundred steps away, which made Tao Leopard puzzled.

He tentatively asked the commander of the Second Army to lead his subordinates forward to meet the battle, and half an hour later, the disgraced soldiers of the Second Army withdrew in disgrace.

Looking at the soldiers of the Second Army who had no battle damage in front of him, Tao Leopard knew without asking that he must be the same as the First Army, and he did not encounter the shadow of the Jin Army.

"General, the last general has been chasing for a long time, but he only heard the sound of drums but couldn't see a shadow of the Jin army, it's really strange." As soon as the commander of the Second Army returned, he reported to Peach Leopard.

Peach Leopard frowned and asked, "After chasing for so long, haven't you found anything?" ”

"General, the last general let the vanguard light cavalry pursue at full speed, but they never caught up, the last general thought, if it was really the Jin army, how could their drumming soldiers retreat so fast, and even the light cavalry couldn't catch up." The commander of the Second Army looked puzzled.

In fact, the peach leopard also has this doubt, you must know that when marching and fighting, most of the war drums are fixed in the rear of the military formation, and when attacking, the drums are just beating the drum to march, even if the moving war drums are placed on the chariot, and how can the speed of the chariot be compared with the light cavalry, there is no reason why it cannot catch up.

Of course, the peach leopard will not know that the army led by Hua'an tied the war drums to the front of the saddle, and they are all war drums of moderate size, and all the soldiers do not carry weapons and armor except for the big drums, which greatly reduces the load of the war horses, and there is not much difference between running and light horses.

The drum in front of him was still sounding unhurriedly, and the peach leopard looked at the direction where the drum came from, thought for a while, and said: "It must be the Jin army that is making trouble, but the general can't guess the intention of the Jin army, what do you think." ”

Several powerful generals behind Peach Leopard glanced at each other a few times, and one of them clasped his fists and said: "General, the last general thinks that the Jin army is pretending to be a ghost in order to scare our army." ”

"Oh." Peach Leopard responded, glared at the commander of the Second Army, and said in a dark voice: "You are right, there are many soldiers who are frightened by the tricks of the Jin Army. ”

When the commander of the Second Army heard this, he lowered his head in great shame, and many officers and soldiers behind him bowed their heads.

Peach Leopard glanced at the generals and soldiers, and said: "Han Qian also underestimates our army too much, this little trick wants to scare me Da Zhao Warrior, wishful thinking." ”

When several generals behind him heard this, they all nodded approvingly, only Tao Wu beside him still frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Wu'er, what are you thinking?" Peach Leopard discovers a son who is somewhat abnormal.

Tao Wu frowned and looked at Tao Leopard, and said suspiciously: "Dad, the conspiracy of the Jin army does not seem to be so simple, and the child always feels that something is wrong." ”

"Oh, what's wrong, tell me about it." Peach Leopard asked.

Tao Wu yawned slightly, suddenly shocked, looked at Tao Leopard, and said: "Dad, the Jin army always beats drums around my camp like this, how do the soldiers of our army rest, is it not a plan to tire the enemy!" ”

"What, a plan to exhaust the enemy." Peach Leopard was shocked for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, what Tao Wu said was indeed reasonable, the Jin army was so endlessly beating drums and making trouble, how could tens of thousands of troops rest.

Moreover, he had already ordered that he would attack Yinling City early tomorrow morning, but now that the soldiers were already exhausted, yawning sounds, and the siege plan for tomorrow morning would definitely be in vain.

"It turned out to be a plan to exhaust the enemy, and the Jin army was a poisonous strategy."

"The soldiers are tired, and tomorrow's siege will inevitably be frustrated, but I am afraid that it will be delayed for a few days."

The generals immediately began to talk loudly.

At this point, Peach Leopard has realized that he has been tricked, and the main force of the army is gathered to listen to the Jin army's drumming, which is completely the rhythm of being led by the Jin army, and a huge anger swells from Peach Leopard's heart.

Now, the only thing he doesn't understand is why the Jin army's actions are so fast, even the light cavalry can't catch up, and so far he hasn't seen a shadow of a Jin soldier.

This inexplicable doubt and curiosity made Peach Leopard even more mad, and he glared at the tiger eyes and swept over the faces of the generals beside him, stopping at the face of the captain of the pioneer battalion for a moment.

The captain of the pioneer battalion saw that the main general was looking at him, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "General, what are your orders?" ”

Peach Leopard nodded, and ordered loudly: "Take a thousand light horsemen under your command to capture the troublemaker Jin army, if you can't catch up, then keep chasing, there is always a time when the sky is bright, and you will naturally see their true colors as soon as the sky is bright." ”

"The last will obey." The captain of the pioneer battalion clenched his fists, turned around and led the 1,000 light cavalry of the pioneer battalion to chase in the direction where the drums came.
