They did it three times in one night. By the time the soldiers realized what was going on, it was already dawn.
In the tent, the generals who had stayed up all night yawned even though they knew that they could not. Meng Tian was not like them, but he still looked tired and was not as energetic as before.
"What a tiring tactic!"
Meng Tian did not care about his tired subordinates. He narrowed his eyes and everyone knew what he was thinking. Fatigue tactics, this was a very shameless but very practical method. Especially in this situation where the enemy was in the dark and they were in the open.
"Commander, what should we do?"
His subordinates did not know what to do in the face of such shameless tactics. Being harassed like this, they did not have the energy to do anything. They could not even march, let alone fight!
"Let's not move today. Set up camp and rest. Also, choose 20 teams of better scouts to investigate. The enemy should not be far from us. "
Meng Tian knocked on the armrest of the chair and made his decision. An exhausted army could not march. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to handing victory to the enemy. Meng Tian trusted the soldiers that he had trained. However, the Emperor did not lack hungry soldiers. Even though they were well fed, with the current state of these guys, no matter how brave they were, even if they defeated the enemy, they would suffer heavy losses. In this case, it was better to play it safe. He still had the advantage. The enemy had already been forced into a corner by them. Their range of activity was only so big. Even though it was a little difficult to eliminate them in the forest, as long as they fought steadily, they could completely eliminate them. It was just that it would take a little more time.
"Yes!"
The generals replied in unison. To them, no matter what order Meng Tian gave, they would definitely carry it out without hesitation. This was a matter of loyalty. However, now that Meng Tian had given the order to rest, they were more comfortable and naturally happy.
"Is this your trump card? Let's see what tricks you can play. If I can figure out your soldiers, then it will be the end of your army. "
Sitting alone in the tent, Meng Tian narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. He was calculating in his heart.
"Report!"
At noon, a messenger suddenly brought news.
"What is it?"
Knowing that there was news, Meng Tian was very excited, but she was still very calm. As a commander, he had to be neither arrogant nor rash. He must not reveal any expression that would allow others to see through him. This was the most basic thing.
"Traces of enemy troops have been found in a col ten li northwest of here. It seems to be the location of the enemy camp."
The spy quickly reported this urgent military intelligence.
"Marshal, this general requests for soldiers to go forth and exterminate the enemy. Take the enemy general's head and present it to Marshal!"
"This general is willing!"
"This general is willing!"
"This general is willing!"
The group of generals instantly became excited. Motherf * cker, after so long, I finally found your nest.
"He was found in half a day? Could it be a trap? "
However, Meng Tian was suspicious. It had only been half a day, and the enemy camp had already been discovered? Wasn't he too unreliable?
Taking out the map, Meng Tian looked at it carefully. The valley ten li northwest of them was indeed an excellent hiding spot. The terrain was dangerous and remote, making it easy to defend and hard to attack. If it were him, he would also use that place as the location of the camp.
"Okay, XX, XX, I order you to lead three hundred thousand soldiers as the vanguard to surround the enemy. I will lead the army over as soon as possible. Remember, don't kill the enemy. As long as it is the camp, there is no need to say anything else. When we arrive, there is nothing to fear! "
Meng Tian was still suspicious, but he also knew that if it was true, this would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely defeat Chu Rui. Perhaps Rui wouldn't die, but this time, his vitality would be greatly damaged, and the remaining stragglers would be completely at his mercy. However, he was also afraid that this was a trap. After hesitating for a while, he decided to take a gamble. As a commander, one must not hesitate. One must make a decision. Moreover, if they fought steadily, there would not be any major problems at all. With three hundred thousand soldiers as the vanguard, the enemy's total number was no more than three hundred thousand. What was there to fear?
"Yes!"
Even though they were very suspicious of Meng Tian's cautiousness, Meng Tian's long-accumulated prestige was in their hearts. They would not go against Meng Tian's orders.
"Perhaps it will end today! Young friend, I hope you won't be finished off just like that! "
Meng Tian was very conflicted in his heart. On one hand, he really wanted to win this battle, but he was also afraid that if he won, it would make their hundred thousand years of waiting and hope go to waste. To them, the return of the First Emperor was the most important thing. It was also the meaning of their existence. Right now, it was the hundred thousand year deadline. This young man who entered here might be the key. If they were stopped here by him, he really did not dare to think about it.
"Pass down the order, the army is to move out!"
Shaking his head, he threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind. No matter what, as the pride of a soldier, he would not go easy on them. If they could not even pass this hurdle, then they could not possibly be the key needed for the Celestial Emperor's return. Meng Tian's somewhat lost heart instantly disappeared, and his expression became cold.
…
"Report …"
Just as the army was marching, suddenly, an incomparably shrill cry came over, making Meng Tian's heart instantly twitch.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing a soldier covered in blood and injuries running in, Meng Tian's heart suddenly felt like it had fallen into a cold cellar, and it was cold. The thing that he was worried about had finally happened.
"General, we were ambushed on the way here, and all of us were wiped out. The enemy camp was just a trap. "
The soldier spat out blood, and he was relying on his willpower to support himself, and he intermittently said this incomparably important information.
"XX, XX, XX, these three generals managed to break out of the encirclement, and the situation is unknown. We tried our best to open an exit and escaped, but they chased us all the way, and I am the only one who returned. They are a soldier type, they are … "
"What are they?"
Seeing the soldier's body twitch all over, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood, his eyes were wide open, and his legs were kicking wildly. Suddenly, his body became sluggish, and he was already dead.
Damn it!
Meng Tian's heart was heavy, unprecedentedly heavy!
Three hundred thousand soldiers, just like that! Not only that, but the most despicable thing was that he did not even know what kind of soldier type the enemy was. Just a little bit, just a little bit, but just that little bit, made him fall into a passive position again. Before he knew what kind of soldier type the enemy was, he was still in a state where the enemy was in the dark and he was in the light, and he was helpless.
