"Report to the general, the sound of drills in the Qin army camp has decreased, and there is less smoke!"
"It's just a plan to reduce cooking stoves!" Ji Bu was very confident, as if he had seen through Jiujiang Longjun's plan.
And he confidently followed his staff and said, "Our mission is to contain them here, so the one who is anxious now is Mr. Long."
"And what Long Jun is best at is defeating many with less, and fighting with large armies in chaos."
"The best way is to reduce the number of enemies. Let us take the initiative to attack and then defeat us. Then they can quickly pass through our defense zone!"
"I can still see this little trick, after all, I am no longer the same person I was before!"
Ji Bu said with a smile.
Things have turned around, and finally I have the upper hand!
However, there was less and less movement in the Qin army's camp, which made Ji Bu hesitate. But if he thought about it carefully, it was an army of 30,000 people. How could it slip away from under his nose so calmly?
"Report~" Finally a hurried voice came, and the two Chu army scouts ran into the Shadow Tiger Legion's camp with red faces, but with a chilled mood.
"Why are you so anxious!" Ji Bu frowned, "The sky is falling, and I am the general who is holding it up, so why are you panicking!"
"Qin Army, Qin Army, Qin Army's camp is empty!" the two scouts said hurriedly.
"This joke is not funny at all!" Ji Bu looked at the two scouts coldly, but he also had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"We, we risked our lives and broke into the Qin army's camp, but there were empty tents everywhere, not a single person!" The scout gritted his teeth and described the scene he saw.
"How is that possible?" Before the two scouts could finish speaking, Ji Bu had already broken out of the camp and rode towards the Qin army's camp.
But there was not a single figure anywhere in the entire Qin Army camp. Scarecrows wearing Qin Army armor were walking around everywhere, and what moved these scarecrows around was actually a group of livestock.
Because the Qin army sprinkled grain and grass on the ground and covered it with layers of soil, the cattle and sheep were so hungry that they wandered around, looking for food against the ground, and thus dragged groups of people standing on pulleys.
The scarecrow in the car pretended to be patrolling the camp.
However, the soldiers of the Qin army all wore masks and were guarded by arrow towers, so the Chu army's scouts did not dare to get too close at first. It was not until later that they discovered that there was no sound of anyone, that they seemed to break into the Qin army's compound.
camp, and found that the entire camp was actually empty, with not a single person in sight.
And they also discovered from the cold ashes of the Qin Army that the Qin Army had been away for at least two days!
Ji Bu rushed into the Qin army's camp and broke through a tent with one sword, but no one was there! He broke through another tent with another sword, but there was no one!
The disheartened Ji Bu refused to give up and broke through several tents in succession, but the result was the same, not a single person was found!
"It's over!" Ji Bu's eyes turned black and he fell off his horse. His heart was ashen and his face was as cold as ice.
"General!" The staff who followed Ji Bu got off their horses and tried to help Ji Bu up.
But Ji Bu was a little stunned, and he just kept saying "It's over!"
Once the Qin army bypasses them and appears in Longcheng, with this time difference and Long Jun's command ability, he will definitely use this time difference to catch the main force of the Chinese army by surprise.
And once the Chinese army is damaged and defeated, he and the Shadow Tiger Army will become the biggest sinners. Death will be a light punishment, and their tribesmen will also be implicated.
The staff also understood, but the top priority now is to send the information that the Qin army may have arrived at Longcheng back to the Chinese army's tent.
Even if at least 30,000 Qin troops arrived at Dragon City, they would not be able to annihilate the entire Chinese army!
All they can do now is cut their losses!
The melee in Baiyangdian is still going on, but it is also coming to an end.
After the vanguard of the Chu army knew that something was impossible, they decisively abandoned the 30,000-strong army that was ambushing them in a roundabout way, cut off their tails, escaped, and broke out of the encirclement of the Qin army.
Jin Yao saw that the opponent was not defeated, but retreated in an organized manner, and he lost his mentality of pursuing.
If nothing else, Xiang Yan should have received the information from Anlu and must be on his way here now.
If they continue to pursue, it might turn into a decisive battle between the two armies.
No matter how strong his commanding ability is, the opponent's number is still twice as many as his own, which cannot be offset by micro-management.
"Sweep the battlefield quickly and withdraw the troops!" Jin Yao led the army to annihilate the Chu army that was encircling the rear and annihilated the prisoners, and then decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Xiang Yan finally arrived belatedly with his army, and encountered the main vanguard force that had fled and retreated.
"What's going on? All three tribes are dead when they run away from the battle!" Xiang Yan looked at the main vanguard force who had fled back with an extremely ugly look on his face.
Even if the Qin army joins, including the Dragon Guard, there will only be 60,000 people. The main force of the vanguard is 50,000, and there are 30,000 people lying in ambush behind. Even if they stick to the spot, they should be able to hold on until he leads his army to arrive.
"We have fallen into a trap!" the vanguard general said with an ugly face.
"I know, with only 60,000 people, I can kill you all!" Xiang Yan was even more furious.
He originally thought that he would make a mistake and annihilate all the combat power of Dragon City in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that the vanguard general he trusted most would actually escape from the battle and abandon his robe.
You don't need to think about it to guess the consequences. The main force of the vanguard fled, and the ambush troops behind them were like meat sent to others, and they were given to them for nothing!
"Lord Long is back, and he has brought back an army of 70,000 people!" the vanguard general said with a sad face, but still explained hastily.
"Even if it's 70,000, you have 80,000, and they can all be ranked first and second in the elite ranks!" Xiang Yan became even more angry and continued to curse.
"There are 100,000 people on the other side!" Chang Shi heard the explanation of the vanguard general, and then whispered to Xiang Yan, who was already blinded by anger.
"..." Xiang Yan suppressed his anger and looked at the vanguard general, "One hundred thousand? The Dragon Guard only has 30,000, plus the 30,000 that Qin rushed to help, where did the remaining 40,000 come from?"
The vanguard general was kneeling on the ground. How did he know? If he could have known, he would not have been beaten like this.
"Really 100,000?" Xiang Yan calmed down again, frowned and looked at the Pioneer General, not sure whether the Pioneer General made it up to avoid responsibility or if it was real.
"It's really one hundred thousand!" the vanguard general said firmly.
Xiang Yan frowned again, unsure whether the vanguard general was lying or whether Ji Bu's information was wrong.
Finally, as the generals and commanders at all levels of the Pioneer Camp spoke up, Xiang Yan also confirmed that the opponent really had a hundred thousand troops in hand.
"Ji Bu, damn it!" Xiang Yan's face turned even more ugly.
Even if the intelligence was delayed, there was actually an error of more than double in the number of people. Because of this delay and error, they directly lost 30,000 surprise troops and nearly 20,000 vanguard soldiers.
