Chapter 477: Decapitation Tactics

Wei Ba had long known that this operation was risky.

Fraud in the barracks is definitely not as simple as imagined. Thousands of soldiers were gathered together, and they all had weapons, and if something happened, it would be a big deal, and any general with troops would have to be extra careful. In order to avoid misunderstanding and disturb the morale of the army, it is forbidden to gallop horses or run fast in the camp, otherwise it is a felony or even a capital crime.

It's all about stability, for security.

The Chinese military tent is where the main general is, and the security is even more first-class, and no one can come casually without an order. This is not a place to hang out. When Wei Ba used the barbarians who surrendered from Wuyang to deceive, Chen Shi had not yet received news of Wuyang, so he had no suspicions about the barbarians with Tang Zhi's warrant, and let them succeed easily. Now the situation is different, although Chen Shi is not in the big camp, the remaining lieutenant Dai Wei knows that there has been a battle in Wuyang, and the people and horses who delivered food for the second time have an accident, so it is impossible not to be vigilant. Even if there is Zhu Wu's cover, it is extremely risky to cheat again.

If he took all his subordinates into the camp according to Zhu Wu's original idea, I am afraid that he would not even be able to see Dai Wei's face. Zhu Wu is the old department of the Shi family, Dai Wei and others were not very at ease with him, and during the war, they suddenly returned to the camp, which was a very abnormal thing in itself. It was with this in mind that Wei Ba decided that since he wanted to take the risk, he simply took a bigger risk, and he left most of Zhu Wu's men and horses, and only brought a dozen people into the camp, striving to succeed in the decapitation tactic and destroy the command center of the Wu army first.

Wu Jun was vigilant again. I didn't expect that these dozen people would be able to give birth to anything, you must know that the guards outside the big tent of the Chinese army alone are at least twice as many as them, once there is something abnormal, between breaths, they will be surrounded by hundreds of guards, and there is no reason to escape.

It was precisely because of this idea that Wu Yong would take Wei Ba into the big tent, otherwise Wei Ba would not even be able to enter the Chinese army, and he would be besieged and killed in the front camp. All Wu Yong's negligence was only one point, he didn't expect Wei Ba to be so vigilant. The means of attack are so sharp again. In the blink of an eye, Dai Wei became a hostage in the hands of Wei Ba.

Of course, he couldn't imagine that Wei Ba seemed to be extremely bold, but he was actually a very cautious person. The years in Chang'an planted a shadow of insecurity in his subconscious. At all hours. He didn't dare to be careless. What's more, now is to go deep into the enemy camp and implement the decapitation tactic, how can you not mention one hundred and twenty cautions.

The difference is a fraction of a centimeter. After a thousand miles of loss, Wu Yong, who was bent on using Wei Ba's head to wash away the shame of being captured, paid the price of blood.

The situation is as dangerous as an egg, and Wei Ba will not allow any more accidents. He strangled Dai Wei's neck tightly and did not let Dai Wei have any chance to express his opinions. Wu Yong, who seems to be cowardly, will fight back to the death, who can guarantee that if Dai Wei can speak, he will not disregard his own safety and order the guards around the big tent to attack and die together?

Dai Wei couldn't speak, and those guards didn't dare to take a desperate bet. For these pro-guard tribes, the victory or defeat of the army, and even the survival of the state of Wu, is not as important as Dai Wei's safety. If Dai Wei died, even if they killed Wei Ba, even if Wu unified the world, it would be meaningless to them. At this moment, the only person who can let them do it is Dai Wei himself.

But Dai Wei was controlled by Wei Ba and couldn't give any orders at all.

So they could only confront Wei Ba and others and maintain a stalemate.

Wei Ba himself is also a person with a trilogy, and he is very clear about the psychology of the trilogy, for Dunwu, the warriors who follow him, he is the sky, his safety is more important than everything, for his life and death, Dunwu and others can draw swords against anyone, and fight for life and death. Things are the same, people are the same, of course Wei Ba knows the psychology of these Dai Wei tribes around him. This is also the reason why he can kill Wu Yong with one sword, but he can't kill Dai Wei.

Not only could he not kill Dai Wei, but he could not even let Dai Wei commit suicide. If Dai Wei died, he would also die.

Wei Ba held Dai Wei hostage in the middle of the big tent, Wei Xing and four soldiers were by his side, and dozens of Dai Wei's subordinates were armed with bows, crossbows, knives and spears, surrounding them, but no one dared to make the first move. The tension was overwhelming, the air seemed to freeze, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at each other, and the slightest surprise could trigger a scuffle.

Wei Ba's back was covered with cold sweat, and his battle jacket was already soaked, but he still had a very calm smile on his face, and he looked like he could exchange his life for a life at any time. He knew very well that in this situation, the more he was not afraid of death, the better the chance of survival.

His composure took the initiative, and although there were only six of them, he made enemies several times his size dare not act rashly.

His success greatly encouraged Zhu Wu and others. Zhu Wu rushed to the front camp with his people, and before the soldiers of the front camp could react, he cut the bowstrings of several giant crossbows and opened the camp gate. By the time the lieutenant of the front battalion reacted, Guan Feng and Xiangfu had already led more than 1,000 soldiers to rush in. Wearing heavy armor and wielding a long-handled war knife, Wang Shuangyi took the lead, rushed to the camp gate in the rain of arrows of the Wu army, roared and killed, and with a swing of the long knife, he killed the two Wu soldiers who were besieging Zhu Wu in front of the battle.

This strange enemy, who was strolling in the dense rain of arrows, caused a great shock to the Wu army and greatly boosted the morale of the barbarians. Under the leadership of Wang Shuang, they roared and slaughtered into the camp of the Wu army.

The officers and men of the front battalion fought back and at the same time alerted the Chinese army. The sound of the siren spread throughout the entire battalion, and the left and right battalions immediately sounded war drums of inquiry, but what puzzled all the Wu troops, the Chinese battalion, which should have been the first to respond, was silent, and the sound of war drums one after another was ignored.

The Wu army panicked and didn't know what was going on, and the left and right battalions could only trap themselves in their own positions, not daring to attack easily. As a result, only the fighters of the front battalion fought bloodily. There were only more than 300 people in the front battalion, and in the face of more than 1,000 morale-boosting enemies, especially more than 100 soldiers under the leadership of Wang Shuang, they had no power to fight back at all, and they were slaughtered in just one meal.

Guan Feng and others then entered the camp of the Chinese army, and although the soldiers of the Wu army of the Chinese army were brave and fought tenaciously, they could not stop Guan Feng and Wang Shuang, who were eager to save people. Wang Shuang waved his knife in front, easily tore open the position of the Wu army, and rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army with a lot of energy, and successfully joined Wei Ba.

Protected by more than a hundred soldiers in the middle, Wei Ba finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time let go of Dai Wei, who was about to suffocate. After winning the first battle, Zhu Wu's heart was full of joy, rushed to the general platform of the Chinese army, put down the battle flag of the Wu army, and raised the battle flag of Wei Ba.

At the same time, Dunwu and others also repelled the Wu army on the cliff and raised the battle flag.

Seeing Wei Ba's battle flag, the Wu army of the left and right battalions was shocked, and in front of the imposing brute soldiers, they gave up resistance one after another and raised their hands to surrender.

Wei Ba did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Guan Feng to build a defensive line in the front camp, ready to fight at any time, and asked Xiangfu and Zhu Wu to act together, and selected barbarian soldiers or the old department of Jiaozhou who were willing to surrender from the surrendered Wu army to enrich their ranks. The Wu army was unexpectedly attacked, and was shocked, and at this moment saw that there were villagers or clansmen with the same accent who surrendered, and the object of surrender was the famous Wei Ba, and after weighing the pros and cons a little, there were four or five hundred people willing to surrender.

For this, Wei Ba should be grateful to the Wu army's military system. The soldiers of Wu were mainly Jianghuai people at first, and later with the wars over the years, there were fewer and fewer Jianghuai people, Wuhui's Shanyue, Jingchu's barbarians, and the recent Jiaozhou barbarians became the main source of soldiers, most of these people were not voluntarily enlisted, but were forcibly recruited. They have no loyalty to the generals at all, the reason why they fight, but because their families are controlled by the generals, once the situation is irretrievable, most of them are willing to surrender in exchange for temporary security, only alive, will they have the opportunity to zaijian their families in the future, and when they die, there will be nothing, the wife will become someone else's wife, and the child will become an orphan. Few people were willing to pay such a price for Wu or any general, and no general was worthy of such loyalty, not even Sun Quan himself.

With these soldiers, Wei Ba's strength was further enhanced, and he ordered to force the remaining 300 or so Wu troops who refused to surrender to act as porters, transporting bags of grain from the cave to the front camp, and stacking a line of defense with these grains, ready to be used to resist Chen Shi's counterattack. In addition to the necessary provisions, he sprinkled the rest of the grain on firewood, forage, staff, and armor, poured oil on it, and set it on fire.

In a hurry, Chen Shi, who rushed back in the starry night, saw the fire and black smoke two miles away, and almost fainted. He knew what it meant for the camp to catch fire. He didn't care about the fatigue of the soldiers running back and forth, and ordered an immediate attack, gritting his teeth to defeat Wei Ba and grab as much food as possible.

The battle broke out, and Chen Shi commanded his soldiers to abandon the boat and land ashore, and launched a tidal attack on his own camp. Wei Ba was holding the victory ticket at this time, and sat comfortably on the platform of the Chinese army, watching Guan Feng command the personal guard battalion to block the attack in the front camp, and Xiangfu and Zhu Wu respectively led the headquarters to protect the left and right wings.

With the bunkers made of those grain bags, Guan Feng's battle was easy and natural, and she sat on the command platform made of grain bags under the escort of more than a dozen Guan family sword and shield men, and commanded the personal guard battalion to launch fierce fire at the Wu army. The crossbows that had been cut off their bowstrings had been replaced with new strings, and they were now shooting huge arrows at their past masters.

After running back and forth for hundreds of miles, the Wu army, which had not rested for a day and a night, was exhausted, but could not rest, and under the urging of Chen Shi, they launched wave after wave of charges towards the camp. Under the dense rain of arrows, they suffered heavy casualties and had no way to break the enemy.

Chen Shi hated so much that his eyes cracked, and he beat his chest. The defense of the battalion was his brainchild, but now it became the biggest obstacle in front of him. Especially when he saw those straw bags full of grain piled up behind the fence as sandbags by Wei Ba, he was even more heartbroken and wanted to drip blood. These grains were the basis for the survival of Lü Dai's army, and without them, Lü Dai would not be able to continue fighting even if he withdrew safely.

"Wei Ba, I'm going to kill you!" Chen Shi raised his knife and roared. (To be continued......)
