Chapter twenty-eight

"Damn Xiang Yu, this guy actually came up with this bad idea. He wanted to use this trick to exhaust our army. It's really hateful. I won't be fooled by you." Cao Shen couldn't help but swear words.

"But general," a deputy general advised, "if Yi Yu really comes, will our army be unprepared?"

Cao Shen turned his eyes and nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense. I ordered the three sentries to take turns to observe and pay attention to the movements on the river. Once Xiang Yu led his army to invade, he would immediately beat the drum. The drum sounds together, and the entire army would gather immediately and wait for the battle."

"No." The deputy general agreed happily when he saw that his idea was adopted.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The chilly spring breeze was blowing tightly. The two sentries watching the whistle tower kept yawning. The oncoming wind ignited their tear glands, and rolling tears poured out from the corners of their eyes, and they were flickering with clusters of yawning.

"Damn, what's the matter with this Chu army? It made me stare at the white river in the middle of the night, and my eyes were blurred." A sentry complained.

"Yes, this is clearly trying to drag us down, but General Cao took it seriously. Hi, after all, it's still the hardship of joining the army." Another soldier took over and continued the complaint.

The sentry who was speaking at the beginning was about to take over the conversation, but his eyes were sucked by something drifting from the river - it was white, as if it was the sail of a warship, and there were a few soldiers standing on the warship - soldiers wearing Chu army armor were lined up at the bow.

"No, the Chu army attacked the camp." The sentry shouted in a hurry, and at the same time picked up the drum on one side and started beating desperately.

"Dongdongdongdongdong..." The sound of warning drums was as tight as a sound, and the lights were suddenly bright in the Han camp, and people shouted that horses were neighing, soldiers went to find generals, and were about to order troops. The vast Han camp was in chaos.

Cao Shen didn't even dare to take off his armor. As soon as he closed his eyes, he was awakened by the sound of drums. He quickly opened his eyes, picked up the weapons leaning against the side, picked up the big tent, and walked out quickly. His subordinates had already led his war horse. Cao Shen stepped on the war horse and shouted: "Boardman, rely on the village wall and aimed at the river bank. As soon as the Chu army arrived, he shot arrows at the volley."

The crossbowmen naturally did not dare to be careless, and they all looked at the river bank not far away with their breath. Although the lights in the Han camp were clear, they were extremely quiet. Cao Shen and other generals knew that this should be the silence before the war. The quieter it was, the more cruel the battle would be. Thinking of this, Cao Shen couldn't help but hold the weapons in his hand tightly.

I waited for a stick of incense so nervously, but I still couldn't see the shouts of the Chu army, and I no longer saw the Chu army.

What's going on? Cao Shen was puzzled and quickly ordered someone to ask what was going on.

The sentry who was beating the drum was also panicked and rolled and crawled to Cao Shen, knocking his head like a chicken pecking at the broken rice, and repeatedly said: "The villain just now did see a warship with Chu soldiers on it. If the general doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the riverside to find out the reason."

Cao Shen glared at the sentry with hatred and ordered the two to rush to the riverside to see what happened. Soon the two ran back and said breathlessly: "Go back to the general, there is indeed a ship, but it is full of straw men, straw men wearing Chu army armor."

He was fooled again. He had just slept for a while and was woken up again. He even made the entire Han army camp furious. Cao Shen rose from his heart. He pointed at the sentry who was still kneeling and said sternly: "I don't understand the observation, which caused the entire army to shake. Come on, drag this person down and behead him and show him the public."

When the sentry who was bowing down and bowed to the ground heard Cao Shen's words, he was so frightened that he trembled in panic and shouted repeatedly: "General, general, the villain is not guilty, the villain is not guilty, I hope the general will spare the villain's life."

The knife and axe driver, who were also sulking on both sides, dragged the guy who ruined his dream and walked out without saying anything. He didn't talk about his feelings at all. He pulled him out of the village and raised his sword. A cold light splashed out of the skull cavity, and a life flew away instantly.

"Change two tower posts and act cautiously, and don't disturb the entire camp by carelessness." Cao Shen ordered viciously.

The two sentries who succeeded were so scared that they were all jealous and hurriedly said, "The villain must observe carefully and not disturb the entire army."

Cao Shen got off the war horse in disappointment, returned to his tent, fell asleep. He was nervous for the middle of the night, but he was so tired that he was so tired, let alone Cao Shen who was waiting for the game every night?

The gathered Han army also returned to their battalions and continued to rest, but the two sentries who had changed their guard did not dare to relax at all.

The camp gradually returned to silence, and the two of them started chatting boredly. One said, "I said, Brother Zhang was too careless. He was actually beaten by a broken boat from the Chu army and a few straw men. As a result, the entire camp was unable to settle down and was cut by General Cao with one knife."

"Liu Qi, do you think Zhang Er is careless? Let me tell you, if it is you and I, I will be beaten up the drums in panic. Maybe it is you and me who are beheaded, or we are lucky. Originally, we were both responsible for Zhang Er's job, but it happened that I had something to do. I asked Zhang Er and the others to change it. After all, you have to thank me." Another sentry said half-happy and half-cherishly.

"Then I'm sorry, Brother Chen, you? I'll invite you to drink tomorrow." Liu Qi quickly flattered.

"If you drink, we can't be fooled by Chu Jun anymore. We don't want to move." Old Chen yawned.

"That's that's it," Liu Qi said hurriedly. As he was talking, he suddenly saw three or four ships sailing on the river. Several Chu soldiers were standing on the boat - but they all stood straight and motionless. Liu Qi panicked and pointed at the ships and said to Lao Chen: "Brother Chen, Chu army, it's Chu army that attacked."

Old Chen also hurriedly opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, then laughed: "Liu Qi, Liu Qi, I told you to be careful. Look at the Chu soldiers, standing there one by one, not moving at all, clearly people who are scattered. Have you forgotten about Zhang Er? Just beat the drum like this and click, and your head moves."

"That's really a straw man?" Liu Qi was a little skeptical.

"What if it's not a straw man?" Old Chen smiled. After a moment, the smile on his face was frozen by the chilly spring breeze, and his eyes also showed a look of extreme fear.

"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?" Liu Qi hadn't understood yet, so he pushed Lao Chen who was staying there.

Old Chen was shocked by Liu Qi's push and woke up. He hurriedly shouted: "It's not a straw man, it's the Chu army attacking; it's not a straw man, it's the Chu army attacking. Liu Qi... beat the drum quickly!" (To be continued)
