But as time passed, we gradually felt that something was wrong, although the city of Shouchun City was thick and extremely strong, but it was surrounded by my 600,000 troops, half a month passed, and I was stunned that I didn't take it, and I didn't even have a chance to attack the city wall.

Wang Jian and I are nervous, if Shouchun City has not been able to be captured, the war has been prolonged for a long time, once the defeated Chu army is called up and regrouped, plus the reinforcements from other places continue to come to rescue Shouchun, then we will fall into the situation of suffering from the enemy on our back, we are thousands of miles away from the rear, at that time the weather turns cold and the logistics supply cannot be guaranteed, there is no need for the Chu army to attack, and the trap will trap us to death, and at this time there is no army to send in Qin.

That night, Wang Jian and I and the generals gathered in the big tent to discuss.

The sergeant in front of the battle suddenly came to report, saying that the black pressure on the Shouchun city wall was full of black-clothed people, who were climbing down the city wall along the rope, and the archers were shooting, so please ask Wang Jian what to do.

"Let's go to the front of the battle and have a look!" Wang Jian took me and the generals out of the big tent, mounted a horse and ran towards Shouchun City.

In front of the battle, the soldiers had already lit torches, and thousands of archers were desperately shooting arrows at the city wall, and the sound of swishing was endless.

I followed the firelight and looked forward, in the hazy night, the tall Shouchun City was like a low mountain in front of me, and if I looked closely, there seemed to be a lot of black shadows on the city wall slowly moving downward.

"Are they dressed in black trying to take advantage of the night to rob the camp? But the key to the success of the raid depends on whether they can be taken by surprise and attack them unprepared, and now that we have discovered them, they should retreat back to the city! Why are you still hanging on the city wall to die? Wang Jian muttered to himself.

Wang Jian turned his head and asked me, "National teacher, what do you think is going on?" ”

"I can't say for a while, but I always feel that something is wrong!" I couldn't think of a reason, so I had to tell the truth.

"Then let's go back to camp for the time being!"

I asked, "Won't the archers withdraw?" It would cost a lot of arrows to shoot like this."

"The matter started in a hurry, and now the situation is dark and unclear, for the sake of insurance, the archers will not withdraw for the time being" Wang Jian immediately turned his head and ordered the deputy general beside him: "Immediately send secret sentries around the camp, tonight the horses will not unsaddle, and the people will not take off their armor, so as to prevent the Chu army from robbing the camp"

The two lieutenants of "No" left in response.

When I think about it, the people of Chu are scheming, who knows what tricks they play!

Later, Wang Jian and I rode back to the big tent of the Chinese army and convened the generals to discuss the matter, but there was still no result. Wang Jian had to order all battalions to strengthen their vigilance and wait until dawn.

But the night passed until dawn, and no Chu army was seen to rob the camp.

Wang Jian and I went to patrol the camp early in the morning, and saw that the soldiers of each battalion had tossed all night last night, and they were all tired, and some of them even dozed off while standing.

"Did those Chu troops who went out of the city go to find rescuers?" I said.

"Nope! Absolutely not, please rescue the soldiers as long as the king of Chu has an edict, a few people or dozens of people are enough, there are at least two or three thousand black shadows on those walls last night, even if we shoot and wound half of them, there are at least a thousand people out of the city! Where have so many people gone! ”

"Will you hide somewhere, waiting for the daylight to come and attack us?"

"Haha! A thousand people don't come at night and in broad daylight to sneak up on us? Sneak attack on the camp of our 600,000 Qin troops? Isn't that looking for death? ”

"Maybe they didn't come last night, just wait for us to relax our vigilance tonight and then come to rob the camp" I really can't figure out what is going on, I can only say the guess in my heart.

Wang Jian frowned, sighed, and said:

"It's possible, then we have to be on guard tonight!" So at night, Wang Jian still ordered the whole army to strengthen its vigilance.

As a result, when I returned to the camp tent and just fell asleep, another sergeant came to inform me to go directly to the front of the battle, saying that Wang Jian was waiting for me, and I couldn't find Serkin for a while, and I didn't know where he went to cause trouble.

Yi Fazhe and I rode out of the Chinese army Dazhai and galloped all the way in the direction of Shouchun City, and it didn't take long to see rows of Qin soldiers holding torches in front of us, and crossbowmen were shooting arrows at Shouchun City, Wang Jian and many generals were discussing something in the firelight.

I suddenly understood what was going on in my heart, and turned my head to look in the direction of Shouchun City, and sure enough, there were many black shadows hanging on the walls of Shouchun City, and they were moving downward in rows, and it seemed that there was another Chu army out of the city by night.

I walked straight over.

"National teacher, look! What the hell is this Chu army doing? Don't they know that this is our living target? ”

"That's not right! The fire in front of our army is soaring, can't you see it in Shouchun City? Seeing it, he sent someone to hang on the city wall and send him to die? Yi Fazhe whispered in my ear.

I nodded, turned my head to Wang Jian and said, "General Wang, I think I'll send two people to check on it first!" We are very passive if we continue like this! I don't know what Chu Jun wants to do, it makes people panic! ”

"What the national teacher said is very true, and I have this intention."

Then I ordered two of the guards to go and investigate

The two of them carried throwing knives, changed into black clothes, and soon disappeared into the night.

Then we had to wait anxiously in front of the battle.

I didn't think that it would take less than a stick of incense for my two people to come back safe and sound. One of them also carried a prisoner on his shoulder.

I was surprised to come back unscathed in such a short period of time, and I captured a prisoner! Could it be that the soldiers around them turned a blind eye to them when they took their prisoners?

Wang Jian also seemed to be surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Two masters!" What was the situation ahead, and how many people did they come down? ”

"General Wang! "One of the clansmen threw the captive on his shoulder to the ground, and the black cloth on the outside then spread out, revealing a clump of straw inside.

Wang Jian and I were dumbfounded, and we didn't come back to our senses for a long time. What the hell is going on?!

"National teacher! General Wang, no one in the Chu army went out of the city at all, what we saw hanging on the city wall was this kind of scarecrow covered with black cloth, and the people of Chu wore many of these scarecrows with ropes, and then lowered them from the city wall one by one, and it looked like someone was out of the city from a distance! ”

Ay! It dawned on me! So that's it! No wonder I always felt that something was wrong.

"Quick! Fast! Crossbowmen stop shooting! Stop shooting! Wang Jian was so angry that his face turned red and he shouted.

I laughed bitterly, sighed and said, "Hey! We have been tricked, this Chu people are really scheming! ”

I estimate that in just these two days, a thousand crossbowmen consumed no less than 100,000 arrows, you must know that now the Qin army is equipped with Serkin to invent repeaters for them! This repeater uses the principle of gears and levers, and can fire up to five arrows at a time, or ten arrows in a row, without changing arrows! For these Moris, who were still in the Bronze Age, they were weapons of mass destruction, and their power was amazing, but at the same time, the consumption of arrows by crossbows was just as amazing! What's more, the soldiers were all tossed by the people of Chu and were exhausted, and if they continued like this, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Okay, everyone will go back to the camp to rest for the time being, just stay on duty, and I'll make a decision after discussing with the military advisor!" Wang Jian commanded several generals around him with a haggard face, and it seemed that he was also tired of tossing.
