393 Failing Because of Wine (1/2)
The two mountain regiments, a total of five thousand warriors, started to collect the weapons and lock up the rebels. The Military Law Division would trial Shanzhu and the other main people who fanned the flames.
After settling the internal tumor, Daiqin led the 2nd division to welcome the sixty thousand Li Race army. To recruit them, shedding some blood was definitely necessary.
After hearing Sun Bin's report, Ouyang Shuo even sent the three thousand palace Guards over to help.
To win against a huge army with a smaller number of men, the best way would naturally be to set a trap.
When the Li Race army approached the Tiger Legion camp, they saw a quiet and silent camp.
The commander of the army was Shanzhu's father, Shan Hu.
”Leader, it looks like an empty camp!”
The one who spoke up was a young warrior known as Shanying. His combat strength was only lower than Shanzhu’s.
”Did the enemy escape?”
”There's a chance that this is a trap. The enemy is really cunning!”
”Then what should we do?”
All of them started to discuss this matter, as they did not know what would be the best course of action. The current scene in front of them was something they had not expected.
Shan Hu frowned, “Shanying, bring a squad over to take a look!”
”Yes!”
Shanying was also really courageous. He brought a hundred men and entered just like this.
”Be careful of traps!”
Shan Hu was still worried, so he reminded Shanying.
”Don't worry, commander!”
Shanying and his men carefully entered the camp.
Looking around, they found no one. On the bare ground there were empty sacks of rice. Some sacks had broken, and the white rice grains had fallen to the ground.
Apart from that, there was also some meat, yellow beans, and the like.
”Captain?”
The members all looked toward Shanying.
”Let’s search the houses.”
Shanying looked like a really arrogant fellow, but he was a very careful person deep inside.
”Understood!”
The soldiers all focused and searched house after house.
Ten minutes later, they all returned.
”Reporting to the captain, there's no one!”
”No one!”
”Nobody!”
”Heh, those bunch of cowards must have escaped.” Shanying laughed, “Let's go back to report to the tribe leader.”
”Yes!”
Shan Hu led the troops and waited outside the camp; he did not hear any fighting sounds. As such, he got a little worried. He did not know what happened to Shanying that made him not appear.
Just at this moment, Shanying ran out.
”Leader!”
”How is it?”
”It's an empty camp with grain and meat thrown all over. They probably left in a hurry.”
”Have you searched everywhere?” Shan Hu was still worried.
”We have searched it all. Even the houses have no one left.”
”Great.” Shan Hu was delighted. He turned his head and said, “Listen up, we will all go in and rest for a day. Tomorrow, we will attack Yashan City.”
”Great!”
The troops cheered, as their morale was at an all time high.
The Tiger Legion camp was built based on four divisions. Hence, there was enough space for the sixty thousand Li Race soldiers.
Seeing the rice and meat scattered around, the soldiers cheered. When they opened the granary and saw the stacked up rice and meat, they were ecstatic.
There was even wine in the corners of the granary.
Wine, the love of the Li Race Tribe warriors.
When they smelled the wine, the soldiers all drooled.
”Tribe leader?”
Shanying took the lead, looking expectedly at Shan Hu.
Shan Hu was also happy, ”look at how hungry you guys are. Tonight we will have a feast!”
”Great!”
The soldiers leaped up in happiness. The smart ones had already ran out of the granary and spread the news.
Instantly, the camp bustled with excitement.
Shan Hu kept his smile and pulled Shanying to the side. He ordered, ”Check if the grains have any drugs.”
”Understood!”
That night, the camp was lively with noise and excitement.
The warriors had fun with singing, dancing, eating meat, and drinking wine.
They continued all the way till the late of night. Finally, the warriors returned to their tents after their sergeants chided them.
Only then did the camp slowly quieten down.
Shan Hu was still worried. He arranged for troops to take shifts to prevent a sneak attack.
Undoubtedly, his worries were unfounded.
The entire night, not a single person appeared.
