"General, the Qin army hasn't moved their troops. Could it be that they are waiting for the main force behind them?”
In the State of Zhao, a group of Zhao generals were gathered in the camp of the Zhao Army, which was facing off against Wang Ben's army.
Ever since Wang Ben's army had set up camp one mile away from the Zhao Army's camp, they had been keeping a low profile and sending out scouts to scout out the situation.
They only had 40,000 soldiers, which was 10,000 less than Wang Ben's vanguard. If they waited until the Qin army arrived, they would not be able to hold the fort even if they had the geographical advantage.
"That's right, General. Why don't we find an opportunity to strike first? We can't wait for the main force of the Qin army to meet up with this Qin army. Otherwise, it will be too late.”Then, another general of the Zhao army stood up and said to the leader of the Zhao army.
"Then how should we strike first?”General Zhao frowned and asked the general.
"Night raid!" The general of the Zhao army said softly.
"A night raid?" General Zhao and the other generals fell into deep thought when they heard this, as if they were considering the feasibility of this method.
"General, the Qin army is located on flat ground and is suitable for a night attack. Moreover, if the night attack is discovered by the Qin army, we can retreat and not suffer too many losses.”The general continued.
"Alright, then you will lead ten thousand men in the front and attack at night. We will lead another twenty thousand men behind. Once you succeed, we will follow you and attack.”General Zhao thought for a moment and then nodded.
Then, they discussed the details of the night attack. In order to avoid any trouble, they decided to attack tonight.
......
It was late at night, and most of the Qin soldiers were fast asleep.
The Qin army had been stationed here for the past few days and did not move.
Firstly, Wang Ben's army was the vanguard, so they didn't bring too many supplies with them. They only brought some rations, so most of the equipment and bows were left in the hands of the main force.
Secondly, Wang Ben had inherited his father's personality. He was very cautious and wouldn't make a move unless he was absolutely confident.
Thirdly, the Zhao army only had a difference of about 10,000 in numbers. However, the Zhao army had a huge geographical advantage. If they attacked forcefully, they might win, but the final result would be a tragic victory. The casualties would be very high.
According to the Qin country's military merit system, if there were heavy casualties in the war, even if they won, they might not be rewarded.
Besides, it wasn't that Wang Ben didn't want to attack, he was just observing the situation to see if he could find the enemy's weakness and when to attack.
Unfortunately, the Zhao army had been holding fast, so they could not find an opportunity to attack.
Therefore, he decided to stay put.
When both sides were in a stalemate, it would depend on who could not hold it in and made the first mistake.
As a commander, patience was a must.
The war had just begun, and there was no lack of opportunities to fight or to make contributions. There was no need to rush.
In Wang Ben's opinion, if there was no chance to attack, he would wait for a few more days until the main force arrived.
"There are footsteps, and quite a few.”
Yi Feng, who was sleeping in the tent, suddenly opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.
These few days, Yi Feng had been sleeping very lightly and did not turn off his super hearing, so the moment there was any movement, he would be awakened.
After all, in front of the formation, there was an enemy one kilometer ahead. How could Yi Feng still have the mood to familiarize himself with the enemy? Naturally, he became extremely vigilant.
He suddenly heard many footsteps coming from the north, slowly moving towards their camp.
"Enemy attack!" Yi Feng hurriedly sat up. The north was where the enemy was stationed. Moreover, from the speed of their movement, the other party was obviously secretly searching. Other than an enemy attack, he could not think of any other reason.
"Tell all the soldiers to gather. Move quickly and be quiet. Try not to wake up the other teams.”Yi Feng woke Xiao Shan and Xiao Hu up and ordered.
Right now, the enemies were still about 80 meters away from their camp, and with their slow speed, it would still take some time for them to reach the camp.
The reason why Yi Feng only gathered his own team was because he was worried that after waking up the soldiers of the entire camp, the enemy would give up on the night attack and choose to retreat.
Therefore, he wanted to give these enemies a surprise.
Moreover, after they engaged the enemy, all the other soldiers in the camp would naturally be awakened, and that would be enough time for the soldiers in the camp to react.
Besides, Yi Feng knew that Wang Ben wasn't a pushover. Since he had stationed his army here, he must have been very alert, and he must have considered the possibility of an ambush.
"General, all soldiers have gathered!”Soon, Xiao Shan and Xiao Hu reported to Yi Feng.
Yi Feng's 1,000-man team was all gathered in a few tents in the same area, so they gathered very quickly.
Those soldiers all looked at Yi Feng with a puzzled expression. They didn't know why Yi Feng had suddenly summoned them, but military orders were like mountains, so they still quickly got up and gathered.
"Try not to make any noise. Follow me.”Yi Feng glanced at the thousand soldiers wearing leather armor and holding halberds as he spoke indifferently.
As he spoke, he led the way. This time, he was also holding his long halberd.
Even though the other soldiers didn't understand, they still did as he said and followed closely behind Yi Feng.
At this time, Yi Feng already sensed that those enemy troops were already only about sixty meters away from the camp.
"Yi Qianjiang, where are you taking the soldiers?”After the Qin soldiers patrolling in the camp saw Yi Feng, they couldn't help opening their mouths to ask with a curious expression.
"I'm feeling a little uneasy, so I want to bring the soldiers to patrol the camp.”Yi Feng says with a faint smile.
He just found a very mysterious excuse, but this excuse often made people unable to find any reason to nitpick.
Of course, Yi Feng had also found a perfect excuse for him to discover the enemy attacking him at night.
If Wang Ben and Wang Li were to ask him why he had gathered his soldiers in the middle of the night and discovered the enemy, he wouldn't know how to explain it.
Now that he had mentioned it, it could only be a coincidence that Wang Ben and Wang Li knew about it.
Yi Feng said this to the patrolling soldiers he met along the way.
Very quickly, Yi Feng led the thousand men out of the camp. The enemies who wanted to attack at night also slowed down their movements in order not to be discovered by the Qin army.
After Yi Feng left the camp, he brought the thousand men and quietly hid in a bush about twenty meters away from the camp, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
"Without my orders, you are not allowed to make a sound, and you are not allowed to make a move!”Yi Feng softly ordered the soldiers. Then, each and every one of them quietly lay down in the grass, not moving at all.
Not long after, some enemy soldiers approached the bushes where Yi Feng and the others were hiding. Because it was too dark, the enemy soldiers did not discover Yi Feng and the others at all.
But Yi Feng and the others discovered the enemy.
"Enemy troops!" When Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu, and the soldiers saw this, their eyes widened in disbelief.
The way they looked at Yi Feng changed. They didn't know how Yi Feng knew that there would be an enemy attack here.
It was getting closer and closer.
Yi Feng and the others lay on the ground and watched as Zhao Jun slowly approached them. Especially Zhao Jun's cautious appearance, Yi Feng and the others wanted to laugh when they saw it."We discovered you long ago, but you didn't know.”
"Kill them!" Yi Feng suddenly shouts loudly, then suddenly explosively rises, raising the long halberd in his hand and hacking towards the enemy several meters ahead.
