Chapter 257: A Stratagem to Defeat the Enemy
In the next one or two days, Chen Xiao was deploying the next battle.
At the same time, the spies are also letting them understand the situation of the enemy.
Now, more than 100,000 troops from the southern border have arrived at the border of the Long Kingdom and may also be planning an attack.
Chen Xiao decided not to give the enemy a chance. Anyway, he had already planned and prepared to attack directly.
In his opinion, the enemy has not yet had a good rest, and taking the opportunity to fight at this time will definitely be caught off guard.
So, that night, he asked his troops to rectify and prepare to attack the enemy camp at night.
At night, the earth under the moonlight can still be seen clearly.
According to the initial plan, Chen Xiao divided his troops into three groups and surrounded him directly at the enemy camp.
The army of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is also very smart. It is estimated that it will be placed in mountains and forests and will be attacked.
However, they didn't know that Chen Xiao was planning to trap them in the grassland.
In this way, after being surrounded and their supplies were cut off, they had nothing but grass, and even water.
In the darkness, the Dragon Kingdom army slowly moved and soon approached the enemy camp.
But they had a secret whistle and discovered the army of Long Kingdom at the first time, so they immediately informed him, and the entire southern Xinjiang camp immediately became chaotic.
The soldiers were dressed in clothes and weapons to prepare for battle.
In this gap, the army of Long Kingdom was already encircling, blocking the three positions on the left and right of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.
In addition, nearly 30,000 people cut off the route of the southern border army from the rear.
Before the fight had begun, he was the first to surround him. This operation also made the army of the southern Xinjiang country very confused.
Logically speaking, if you suddenly attacked in the middle of the night, shouldn’t you rush in and kill?
But the army of Long Kingdom did not take the opportunity to kill, but just surrounded it.
The army of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was still stupidly ready for battle, and was surrounded by the army of the Long Kingdom.
When they found out they were surrounded, they were still a little confused.
Why not fight? What to do in surround?
Even if you are surrounded, it depends on your strength to fight?
This idea is correct, but unfortunately, Chen Xiao did not intend to use fighting to solve the battle.
He planned to encircle the more than 100,000 troops of the southern border country directly on the grassland.
That night, for the army of the southern Xinjiang Kingdom, it was really a false alarm and nothing was beaten.
For the army of Long Kingdom, the deployment was successful!
In the big tent, Zuo Xianfeng asked Chen Xiao: "Sir, if they try hard, this account will not be easy to fight!"
Chen Xiao nodded: "I understand that they can fight us with food and water. So the next thing we have to do is procrastinate and let them find their food."
"How to do it?" asked the right Pioneer!
Chen Xiao said: "Bluff!"
"Please make it clear to the general!"
Chen Xiao stood up: "How many people are there?"
"About 150,000!"
Chen Xiao said again: "How many of us?"
"Hundreds of thousands!"
Chen Xiao shook his head: "No!"
"No?" The generals were confused.
Chen Xiao said: "Our side has 200,000!"
"ah?"
The generals were confused and thought, where is it?
Immediately afterwards, someone reacted:
"I understand, General, what you mean is that we declare to them a 200,000 army, so they dare not resist easily, and can only think of strategies.
In this way, over time, they will be out of ammunition and food. Without food, they will naturally become turtles in the jar. We only need to hold them for a few days, and they will definitely be done!"
Chen Xiao smiled: "This is not enough, avoid foolproof. You must be better prepared."
“What preparation?”
Chen Xiao spoke: "Immediately, I will set up archers on the inner layer of the encirclement and aim at the enemy in the middle at all times.
Once they have action, shoot arrows immediately, no matter what, to prevent them from fighting on a large scale and keep them in the encirclement for a short time.”
The plan is very simple. The inner circle uses force to suppress the enemy and prevent them from breaking through. The outer periphery is huge and creates the momentum of 200,000 troops.
Once the enemy finds it difficult to break through, and the Long Kingdom has 200,000 troops surrounding them, they will be even more afraid to attack easily.
Just drag on it, it's a benefit.
Therefore, according to Chen Xiao's plan, countless archers were ready to suppress the enemy's breakthrough with bows and arrows at any time.
The remaining army made the movements very big all day long, and the 100,000 army suddenly made the movements of 200,000 army.
The army of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is on the plain, and there is no place with a high terrain? There is no way to observe the authenticity of the army of the Dragon Kingdom from a high point.
Therefore, on the first day, they were deceived.
At this time, there was no pressure on food and grass, so they were not in a hurry, just thinking about how to break through.
As a result, the next day and the third day, the army of the southern Xinjiang country felt something was wrong.
They didn't have much food and grass, and they used up water.
You should know that food and grass are carried in large quantities, so water is not carried.
We use water from one place to another. Even if there is water carried by the water truck, it will only take a few days and it will never be used for a long time.
So the problem is very serious now, there is still food and water left.
The water is gone, the food cannot be cooked, and there is no water to drink!
On this hot day, the most terrifying thing is not hunger or drinking without water.
The only river is in the mountains and forests outside the encirclement, and there is a river.
The plains and grasses in the encirclement are completely waterless.
Now the enemy began to panic. There was no water to drink for a day, and many people felt weak.
People who are thirsty in summer know that if they don’t eat for a day, they won’t be too powerless when they are hungry.
But if you don’t drink water, you will be listless and feel powerless.
In this state, you have to wear armor and sweat, which is something that people can bear?
This is nothing. The most terrifying thing is that Chen Xiao ordered some soldiers to use wooden barrels to make a bucket of water, and they were playing with water in the surrounding circle.
They happily poured water on themselves and others, bringing some tyranny in the coolness.
This made the soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army who had no water to drink and licked their lips one by one after another.
At this moment, where do they have the heart to fight? They just want to drink a sip of water.
No, they imagined that they had a large bucket of water like the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom, and they could only play if they couldn't finish drinking it.
Yes, the gap between dreams and reality is too big, and they are not even drooling now.
In this way, not only did they torture the army of the southern Xinjiang Kingdom, but they also pushed them to the ground and destroyed them violently from the heart.
Two more days passed, and the army of southern Xinjiang was getting terrified.
Their marshal was so thirsty that he couldn't even urinate, so he gave an order.
He took a big bucket and let the soldiers spit out a drool.
In this way, ten thousand soldiers only vomited half of their saliva.
