It was late at night, and the Qin army was encamped.
Zhao Tuo sighed and walked out of the tent.
"General."
Guarding the tent, Li Shang, who was in charge of guarding tonight, and a few short soldiers immediately saluted and greeted him.
Zhao Tuo said "hmm" and looked up at the sky.
I saw the full moon in the night sky like a mirror, and the moonlight was like water, falling on the earth.
"Today is a full moon night."
Zhao Tuo looked around and saw a bonfire burning in the Qin camp.
In places outside the light of the campfire, benefiting from the moonlight, you can also vaguely see some scenes.
There were insects chirping, cicadas chirping, and mosquitoes and flies flying around.
Zhao Tuo stretched out a finger, dipped it in saliva, and applied it to the red, swollen and itchy areas on his face.
The reason why he couldn't sleep was not only worried about the trip, but also because of the harassment of mosquitoes.
In the handsome tent, there is a curtain similar to a mosquito net, which can play a role in isolating mosquitoes and flies.
But when the mosquito cunningly sneaks into the nest in advance and waits until Zhao Tuo falls asleep before "assassinating" him, the feeling will be forgotten.
Moreover, the mosquitoes in Yue are obviously much more ferocious and powerful than their counterparts in Qin and Chu. Even if he led the Qin army to conquer the east and west, General Zhao, who was both wise and brave, had to be defeated and leave the tent in embarrassment.
Ventilate.
He noticed that not only he, Zhao Tuo, but also Li Shang and others who were standing guard by the tent also had expressions full of confusion.
From time to time, whispers of curses and "snap" sounds could be heard from the distant camp.
In late summer and early autumn, camp in the wild.
It's hard for the soldiers to sleep peacefully.
"Just hold on for one more day. If the Yue people don't cheat, we can leave this place of Yue people and go back when the day changes to Xiong Qi."
Zhao Tuo smiled at Li Shang and others, and then looked outside the camp at the mountains and forests that looked blurry under the moonlight.
Under his careful arrangement, traps were set up among the deep grass and trees at a distance of 20 to 50 meters outside the Qin camp, and iron caltrops and the like were scattered there.
"I hope I won't have to use it."
Zhao Tuo took a deep breath, turned around and entered the tent, ready to fight the mosquitoes again.
But when he entered the camp, a question suddenly occurred to him.
How do those Yue people prevent mosquitoes?
…
Snapped!
In the mountains and forests surrounding the Qin camp, Zou Wuzhai, the best warrior in Yue, killed a mosquito with one slap.
Under the moonlight, he looked at the red spot in the middle of his palm and stretched out his tongue to lick it.
"The blood of Qin people."
"Good omen, let the Qin people bleed like rivers of blood tonight."
Zuowuzhai grinned.
On the side, Zuibi, who asked for orders to follow, offered advice: "It is better to burn the Qin camp with fire during the attack and cause chaos to the Qin army. It is more suitable for us to kill."
As a Yue from Wu, Zuibi was well-informed and knew how powerful Qin was, so he did not want to fight the Qin army.
However, the Yue King Wuyou could not help but covet the Qin people's armor, and the Yue people became extremely arrogant after successfully defeating Chu King Qi and more than 2,000 Chu troops.
The Yue people finally chose to become enemies of the Qin army.
Therefore, he could only choose to offer advice to the Yue people in order to defeat the Qin army.
"How can we set fire in the mountains and forests!"
Zuowuzhai glared at this outsider who didn't understand the rules.
He scolded: "Don't flatter these Qin people anymore. I heard slaves from the Chu people say that the so-called Qin army was just farmers who farmed in the Qin State. They were forcibly recruited by their king and went to the battlefield.
How many brave men can there be in such an army?"
"Did you know that I, Zou Wuzhai, am the best warrior in Yue? I can fight a giant turtle in the water and cut open its belly. Can these Qin people do it?"
Zuowuzhai boasted proudly.
After speaking, he pointed to the bald man next to him.
"This is the second warrior in our clan. His name is Da Gou. He is as powerful as a tiger and a leopard. He can knock down a wolf with one punch. Can the people of Qin do that?"
Then, Zou Wuzhai pointed at a lean man lying on a tree.
"This is Gou Diao, the most powerful hunter of our tribe. He has the unique skill of archery. He can shoot five arrows at a time. Do the people of Qin have such warriors?"
Faced with Zou Wuzhai's boast, Zou Bi fell silent.
Seeing that the boy who didn't understand the rules shut up, Zuowuzhai looked at the Qin army camp under the moonlight in the distance with satisfaction.
He has the self-confidence that belongs to Yue people.
The Qin army's armor and weapons are indeed very powerful, but it is late at night now.
The people of Qin took off their armor, put down their weapons and went to sleep, so they would not be on guard at all.
But their Yue warriors came well prepared, launched a surprise attack at night, and took advantage of the environment and geography. How could they not win?
Moreover, they were stronger and more aggressive, and they were among the best hunters and warriors in the mountains and forests. However, the Qin people were just farmers who only immersed themselves in farming. Even if they were attacked by these warriors at night, they would be so frightened that they would flee in all directions.
When they start to kill later, when they kill Qin people, it's almost like killing pigs and sheep. They can cut down one of them with one sword.
Not to mention, this time Yue King Wuyou recruited all the Yue tribes near the royal city, and the number reached 20,000, which was more than the Qin people in the camp below.
The Qin army was unprepared for a sneak attack due to its large numbers of people.
With such a huge advantage, can we just say we can win?
Zuowuzhai was full of confidence. He glanced around and saw that in the nearby mountains and forests, strong Yue warriors had arrived.
They were like wild beasts, lurking in the grass and trees, staring at the Qin army camp on the plains at the foot of the mountains with bloodthirsty and excited eyes.
It's almost time.
Zuowuzhai looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, closed his eyes and prayed to the gods.
Then he reached out and took out a bone whistle from the linen in his crotch. When he blew it, a sound similar to the chirping of a bird sounded in the forest.
When the Yue warriors heard the signal to attack, they all hunched their bodies and moved towards the Qin army's camp silently in the mountains and forests.
The large grass and trees outside the Qin army's camp will cover up their figures. It is not until they enter twenty or thirty meters near the camp that they will be exposed because the Qin army has eradicated the grass and trees on the ground.
But it didn't matter at that time. The distance of only twenty or thirty meters could only be reached in a blink of an eye for the Yue warriors who had been chasing prey in the mountains and forests for many years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Things developed from the beginning, just as Zou Wuzhai expected.
Under the moonlight, the Yue people gathered in a large circle, hunched their bodies, and quietly and slowly approached the Qin army's camp under the cover of vegetation. They did not reveal any flaws until they were about fifty meters away.
Until the big hook in their clan, who could rival tigers and leopards, stepped on a metal foreign object, and the pain in his heart made him groan.
This Da Gou was worthy of being the second warrior. He gritted his teeth, reached out and pulled out a piece of bloody caltrops from the sole of his foot, threw it behind him, cursed in Vietnamese in a low voice, and then continued to move forward.
But then, a scream like a slaughtering pig came from behind him.
It turned out to be an iron caltrop thrown behind by Da Gou, but it was stepped on by a Yue man who followed closely.
This Yue man was not as brave and calm as Da Gou, and he screamed instantly.
The piercing scream was like thunder and lightning under the moonlight. It not only startled the surrounding Yue people, but also instantly alerted the sentry guarding the Qin camp.
Seeing that things had changed, Zuowuzhai shouted: "Warriors of my clan, charge! Kill these Qin people! Those who resist will be killed, and those who surrender will be made slaves!"
"Kill...ah!"
The Yue people howled and rushed forward.
In just a moment, before the Yue people reached the vicinity of the Qin camp, many warriors were jumping up and down on the spot, screaming in agony.
In the grass and on the soil, there are iron caltrops covered with sharp thorns and wooden thorns that have been sharpened and inserted into the ground.
At this time, in the Qin Army camp, the alerted Qin Army guards blew the warning horn without hesitation.
Amidst the majestic and loud sound of the horn, Zhao Tuo, who had been tormented by mosquitoes and had difficulty falling asleep, immediately woke up.
"Enemy attack!"
Zhao Tuo's heart tightened and he immediately ran out of the camp.
Climb onto the earthen platform built near the camp and look out.
He saw, under the light of the full moon, countless dark shadows pouring out from the mountains and forests in all directions.
Those black figures were running and screaming. From time to time, some people fell down, and some even jumped up and down.
The majestic killing cry and the harsh screams were mixed together.
On this full moon night, a strange image is formed.
