Chapter 507 (2/2)
Then, as Xiong Qian said, the post Qin army outside the city did not move. Instead, they set up camp outside the city and seemed to be preparing to live there. Although seeing each other so arrogant, but the garrison soldiers or resist the impulse to attack out of the city, concentrate on guarding the city. Looking at the smoke in the camp outside the city, a middle-aged officer suddenly said with a smile: ”as expected, as the general said, these Han people really have a conspiracy!”
At the middle-aged officer's side, several younger officers all heard his words and quickly walked to the middle-aged officer. A young officer asked curiously, ”brother! Why do you say that? What do you see? Let's talk to the brothers quickly The young officer's proposal was immediately approved by other young officers.The middle-aged Officer immediately turned pale. After smoothing his chin, he pointed to the kitchen smoke outside the city and said, ”this is what I learned from the general for so many years! You all have to learn! You see, from the smoke rising from the post Qin camp, we can judge how many stoves the post Qin army has opened! In an army, the amount of food a stove can cook is limited. If you can know how many stoves the other side has, you can judge how many people's meals the other side has prepared! In my judgment, after this, the Qin army prepared at least 6000 people's meals
However, the young officer was still puzzled and asked, ”even so, why do you say these Han people have a plot?”
The middle-aged Officer immediately showed a look that rotten wood could not be carved and said, ”you, you! Why don't you understand? Whether it was the news from our scouts yesterday, or the men and horses brought by the bad breath boy today, there were 3000 men. If there are only 3000 people in the Qin vanguard army, why should we prepare meals for 6000 people? This shows that the real people of the vanguard army of the post Qin Dynasty should be 6000! And the general's judgment is not wrong! In addition to the three thousand people on the surface, there are three thousand people waiting to ambush us
At the same time, even one of the young officers said, ”General Xiong Qian is really great. Fortunately, General Xiong Qian is guarding here. If he had been another general, he would have rushed out of the city. In that case, you will be caught in the treacherous schemes of the Han people
The middle-aged officer patted the young officer's head and said with a smile, ”OK! Don't mess around here. It's useless! Don't report the situation to the general as soon as possible! ” The young officer who was photographed didn't get angry. He just giggled a few times, then turned around and ran towards the city. He went to report to Xiong Qian.
Soon after hearing the report from the young officer, Xiong Qian showed a certain expression on his face and said with a smile: ”hum! How young and inexperienced are the people who came up with such a naive and immature strategy! In this way, Li Yuanhe may be the vanguard General of this time! Give me the order! Be on guard at the head of the city. No matter how provocative the other party is, you are not allowed to go out of the city to meet the challenge! ”
Since Xiong Qian issued the general order that he was not allowed to go out of the city to fight, three days passed. Every day, Li Yuanhe would take his men and horses to the outside of the city to curse. But already knew that the other side has ambush, does not need Xiong Qian to explain, those garrison soldiers also did not have the slightest reaction. At the end of the day, Li Yuanhe simply assigned the task of scolding to those soldiers. Not only was his voice louder than that of Li Yuanhe, but also Li Yuanhe didn't have to work hard.
In the morning of the fourth day, Xiong Qian still arrived at the head of the city early in the morning. This was the case for three days in a row. Xiong Qian felt something was wrong. The other three thousand men of the Qin army never saw a shadow. Did the other side bypass Yantian city and March directly to other cities south of Yantian city?
Just as Xiong Qian was thinking so wildly, he heard the drums of the Qin army camp outside the city ring as usual. However, Xiong Qian narrowed his eyes and took a closer look, but he found that the post Qin Army today was different from that of the past. It seemed that there was a lot less of them. Moreover, the general leading the army was no longer the tall Li Yuanhe the other day, but he was replaced by a thin man in a long gray coat.
This sudden change made Xiong Qian a little strange. After that, the Qin army just arrived out of the range of the archers in the city just like a few days ago. After the Qin army has been close, let Xiong Qian see more carefully, there is no mistake! Today, there are only a few hundred people in the post Qin army, and the one at the front of the latter Qin army is just a young man with the appearance of a scholar!
At this time, the young scholar suddenly turned to his side and said something to a soldier behind him. Immediately, the soldier strode to the front of the battle and called out to the head of the city: ”Xiong Qian, Dachang general on the head of the city, listen! This is my lord Bo Kong, the leader of the Qin vanguard army! Our vanguard General Li said it! Since Xiong Qian, when you see General Li and 3000 Qin generals and soldiers, they are afraid to go out of the city to fight. Today, we, Master Kong Bo Yijie, bring 500 soldiers to challenge! I don't know if you dare to come to fight today, Xiong Qian? ”
