Chapter 610(1/2)
: The sings all around
Not long ago, the Chu army camp.
In the central army camp, Xiang Yu discussed with Long Zhu with an extremely ugly expression.
"What are the casualties and losses of our army...?"
He could not describe this battle as casualties, because there were basically no casualties.
This was also his first time to encounter it. After hundreds of thousands of troops fought, there were no corpses on the battlefield.
Because, the vast majority of the Chu army that were temporarily forced to be conscripted surrendered!
It's simply unheard of, a great humiliation!
Hearing the question, Long Zhu also replied dejectedly,
"Your Majesty, Yu Ziqi and Zhongli have reported it. In this battle, our former army lost most of the 40,000 people."
Most of the people who lost this time were the Chu troops who were temporarily forced to recruit by the two.
Their minds were not firm at all.
It was originally considered to be consumed, but who knew that the Qin army was so cunning that they persuaded surrender directly during the war!
This is something that has never been done before.
It actually succeeded!
Xiang Yu was already hunched at this time. He has now removed tens of thousands of core elites who have followed him from the Battle of Pengcheng.
The others are nearly 100,000 farmers recruited by Yu Ziqi and Zhongli.
But now, they have lost 20,000 to 30,000!
If such losses were simply war losses, Xiang Yu would not be unacceptable.
Because generally speaking, he can use this kind of loss to cause equal or even more damage to the enemy!
However, now they have lost such people and the Qin army has obtained so many people!
As one grows and the other disappears, strength has changed, not to mention the people's hearts’ resistance!
But he couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he could only let his direct line attack early tomorrow morning!
After the two sides fought, let other Chu troops make up!
"Okay, I know, you go down first."
"By the way, tell Yu Ziqi and Zhongli to be optimistic about their soldiers."
The two men were stationed in a camp outside the city as flanks.
Long Zhu nodded with a heavy expression and then left.
After the other party left, Xiang Yu returned to his tent with a little depressed look.
Yu Ji began to take care of him as always.
Feeling Yu Ji's gentleness, Xiang Yu sighed heavily and said,
"Yu Ji, how do you think those untouchables dare to disobey the king?"
He still couldn't figure out how those people dared to do such a thing on the battlefield!
Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, but she didn't know what was going on, but she heard that Xiang Yu had been defeated for a while.
So he smiled,
"The people are always foolish, and must have been bewitched."
"Your Majesty, let them know your majesty."
The ignorance of the people is almost the common understanding of the vast majority of nobles.
After all, the other party is short-sighted and does not know much about writing.
Even the nobles of the Qin Dynasty thought so.
This is also the rule strategy of most kings since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
It’s just a weird person like Zhao Lang.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu nodded in agreement and said fiercely,
"Yes, I just have to suppress them! Only then can I be honest and let them be driven!"
"Come here, I will give orders to those Yu Ziqi and Zhongli, and those untouchables will not be allowed to distribute food tonight!"
Eat less, these people will not have any other thoughts.
As long as some food is provided tomorrow morning, the battle will not be delayed.
Normally, the army only eats one or two meals, but only during a war, in order to ensure physical strength.
It depends on the time of the battle, and it is guaranteed to have two to three meals.
In any case, it is better to make a decision than to be confused and have no direction, and Xiang Yu's mood was slightly excited.
Under Yu Ji's service, I slowly relaxed.
Soon, a messenger went to the tents on both sides to deliver messages.
In Yu Ziqi's camp, the Chu army was gathering listlessly.
They had some regrets that they did not run away.
They didn't want to work hard for Xiang Yu, but they were forced to do so.
When they were captured, they had almost no resistance in front of the Chu army.
A slightly younger Chu army whispered to the Chu army beside him,
"Brother, what should I do tomorrow?"
"If my parents were there, we couldn't really do it."
With today's lesson, even these soldiers want to get it, the generals will not let things happen again today.
I'm afraid there will be more of those supervisory teams.
When the brother beside him heard this, he sighed slightly. He actually had no choice.
It’s no different than when it’s on the battlefield, when everyone feels hot, and there’s no problem following others.
Just when he wanted to say, their centurion suddenly came over and said with a little indifferent
"Our army is not fighting effectively today, and there is no meal for the evening!"
After saying that, he left blankly.
Hearing this, the morale of the Chu army, who were already tired and hungry, suddenly became even lower.
But no one resisted, and they usually treat this way.
When there is no military operation, it is common to eat once a day.
Anyway, just move less in the camp.
The entire camp entered the darkness in this dead body.
They have accepted their fate and are just waiting to go to the battlefield tomorrow. They are either killed by the Qin army or by the Chu army's supervisor.
The same is true for the two brothers, waiting numbly for dawn.
At this moment, Chu Jun, who was his younger brother, seemed to hear something, got up and said to his brother,
"Brother, listen."
"It seems, there are singing and laughter."
My brother also noticed the movement outside at this time.
When I stood up and looked outside, I saw piles of bonfires burning in the direction of the Qin army.
Those familiar songs and cheerful laughter floated from there.
Seeing this scene, the two brothers couldn't help but look at each other, and the light of the bonfire was reflected in their eyes.
If they had never seen the light, they could endure the darkness.
But now, the light is right in front of you.
As the elder brother, Chu Jun looked around at this time, looked at the night again, took a deep breath, and then said in a low voice,
"Brother, do you dare to go with me?"
My brother's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.
The two of them waited until it was dark and leaned towards the edge of the camp without any hesitation.
There are wooden fences around the campsite, which were not buried deep, but they are prone to loosening.
Just as the two brothers were fighting, suddenly, a figure appeared on them, a Chu army.
To be continued...
