Chapter 18: The strategy of harassing the enemy and harassing us
But the officials are getting more and more interested.
The Qin army has been retreating, but there has been no ambush or anything else.
What does that mean? It means the other party is afraid.
I still have 70,000 to 80,000 people on my side, and I still have an overwhelming advantage in the Qin army, so it is normal for them to escape, which is understandable.
So to now, the coalition soldiers have been completely numb to the other party's incompetent tricks while pursuing them.
What Li Feng wanted was this effect. He was already waiting for the arrival of Liu Bang and others in front of the last and most powerful camp.
"Your Majesty, you've been here. You've been retreating. The soldiers are already dissatisfied with this state." Seeing Li Feng, Su Du suddenly felt a big stone in his heart.
"I'm afraid you guys are also dissatisfied."
Su Du was a little guilty and smiled awkwardly: "How dare I do me!"
"Hmph, just don't dare. Tell your subordinates that they will not retreat again this time, we will come and be cruel." Li Feng walked to the map: "Look at this location, our camp is in this location, and Liu Bang and others
Where will people camp?"
"Here." Su Du pointed to the point in front of the camp.
"Yes, they still have nearly 100,000 troops, and they are trapped in the crowd. Only there is water source here, and there is a place to provide their 100,000 troops to set up camp."
"But you see, the mountains and forests are dense, with lots of fallen leaves and dry firewood, which is simply a natural fire warehouse."
"I have prepared more than 10,000 ignition tanks of that kind for you, and brought more than 1,000 catapults overnight. You know what to do next. The next move is called: I will fight the enemy with fatigue."
"I know that the whole woodland will become a sea of fire."
Li Feng smiled and patted Su Du on the shoulder: "Don't disturb them tonight, let them have a good night's sleep."
As Li Feng expected, the Three Kingdoms coalition forces arrived next to the 16th camp.
Because the soldiers eliminated nails and poisonous snakes all the way, they were already exhausted at this time.
Based on past experience, the coward Su Du dared not come out to find trouble, and as long as they attacked for a while, they exhausted the Qin army's arrows, the Qin army would retreat.
And they are going to start a new round of pursuit.
If you keep chasing like this, I believe that it will not take long to enter Shu. Then, the army will be able to regain energy again, completely occupy the land of Bashu, and capture Ziying, the king of the deceased country, alive.
So don’t worry now, let the soldiers take a break first and raise their troops and accumulate strength.
Now, Liu Bang and others have also learned to use linen to block their ears, and have arranged more sentinels, so they are no longer afraid of the guys in the camp coming out to cause trouble.
Liu Bang was very proud: "Boy Su Du, I want to waste my energy, I am afraid I haven't woken up."
Su Du said: "Yes, you are right. Don't disturb your dream tonight. Sleep well, it's best to sleep a little more."
In mid-October, even in the pollution-free Qin Dynasty, the weather was dry and the weather was dry, so be careful of the fire.
In fact, once the fire starts at this time, it will become more fierce and more difficult to extinguish.
When it was ugly, for the people of Daqin, it was the time to sleep the deepest. In the military camp of the coalition forces, they slept very well from top to bottom.
It was strange that the Qin army's grandsons never came out to disturb them tonight.
This allowed them to clear away their fatigue for days and fall asleep peacefully.
However, the Qin army in the camp was not so comfortable. They were led by Su Du to a commanding height of the mountain.
At this commanding height, the things launched by the trench can accurately smash into the coalition camp, precise and efficient.
"According to the formation, the catapult was scattered in one word. Within a quarter of an hour, I would send more than 10,000 tincture bottles into Liu Bang's military camp. It was unfair. You took the archer and touched it quietly, and wait for me to start shooting.
When you have a torch, you can shoot me with a rocket."
"Receive the order!"
The sentries from Liu Bang's camp were dozing when they suddenly found a dark thing in the sky.
The Sentinels didn't care about this new weapon at first.
No fire or smoke, no sharp or thorny, what threat can it be?
They didn't react until these things fell into the camp and broke into pieces.
They are so familiar with this thing.
Along the way, most of the brothers who were killed and injured died on this thing.
A large area of throwing objects from high altitudes quickly woke up the entire camp from sleep.
Liu Bang and others rushed out and roared: "What's going on?"
Fan Kuai: "I don't know."
"Hard tin, there are fierce tinctures everywhere, King Han, ah! Help."
In just a few breaths, the rockets falling from the sky poured down again, igniting fierce tinder, the wind assisted the fire, and igniting the forests around the camp.
The soldiers were buried in the fire without even reacting.
For a moment, screams were heard.
Liu Bang and others also reacted very quickly. When they saw the situation, they knew that things were not done, so they decisively rushed out with their confidants. As for those soldiers who were still screaming? Sorry, at the critical moment, I can give up my own son's life.
, let alone you."
In the last camp, Su Du was full of excitement. After this battle, he was already impressed by Emperor Li Feng from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty, let's pursue the victory. I don't expect Liu Bang and the others to run far."
"What's the hurry? People are not too slow when chasing you, so you don't have to be so anxious."
Li Feng glanced at him, then stood up to face the generals: "As long as you follow the order, you will go out and chase the enemy, and pursue them relentlessly, but you don't have to kill them all. The main thing is to take captives. Surrender can survive, and those who resist stubbornly die.
”
"promise!"
......
After Liu Bang and others escaped, they counted the number of people, and only 20,000 people were left.
Almost all of the soldiers were burned, their clothes were torn, their arrows were used up, and their swords and guns were turned into fire sticks. They were dehydrated and their bodies were weak, and they were all powerless. They were no longer motivated.
The most terrifying thing is that the food and grass have been exhausted now, and the whole army can only dig tree bark and grass roots along the way to eat.
Even the poisonous insect and snake that were burned to death by myself before, I picked it up and ate it and found it extremely delicious.
Some soldiers could not bear this pain, so they decisively escaped and secretly became deserters.
Fan Kuai intended to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, but was stopped by Liu Bang: "Forget it, since you have no intention of following us anymore, don't make things difficult for everyone."
Hearing Liu Bang's words so kind, the remaining soldiers burst into tears silently, and felt deeply that they had met the wise master. Even Long Qi and Sima Xin couldn't help but nod and appreciate it.
It has to be said that Liu Bang does have the aura of a king. Along the way, Long Qi and Sima Xin have already agreed that Liu Bang is the leader of this coalition.
But who is Liu Bang? The reason why he said this was because he was afraid that the soldiers would not be able to bear the torture, so he mutinyed collectively and took his own heads to seek credit from the Qin army.
