However, they dared not to be on guard and fight. If one of the ten false things turned out to be true, they would be completely finished.
Therefore, after midnight, the commander Ming Cheng simply did not let the soldiers sleep.
Everyone, get up and be on guard against the Gan army coming to rob the camp.
Mingcheng, as the name suggests, is from the same family as Minghe who was just defeated by Zhao Hao.
The Ming family in Wu State is also a family of military generals, just like the Xiao family in Gan State.
This Mingcheng is Minghe’s cousin.
Although he is not a famous general, he is still number one.
After a night of tossing and turning, it is natural to be busy during the day.
Zhao Hao ordered the Gan army to move forward two miles, and they were only about three miles away from the Wu army camp.
The entire Wu army became extremely nervous.
This kind of tension temporarily dispelled the fatigue of last night.
However, they still did not dare to act rashly.
Still guarding the camp tightly.
With the two sides having similar military strength, the Wu army has absolutely no chance of winning.
What's more, they have reinforcements on the way.
As long as nothing happens today, reinforcements will arrive tomorrow.
Inside the Ganjun camp, Wu Song also reported the latest situation to Zhao Hao.
"Sir, reinforcements have arrived in Xingzhou City."
"We will be able to arrive before noon tomorrow."
"There are about 20,000 people!"
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Don't be nervous, we still have enough time!"
After a pause, Zhao Hao continued, "Well, Brother Wu, you lead 5,000 troops to challenge the Wu army camp."
"See if they will fight!"
Wu Song said, "I guess they don't have the courage to fight us if our forces are equal!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said nothing.
Wu Song assembled 5,000 troops and led them to challenge the enemy. As he expected, the Wu army still guarded the camp tightly and refused to come out.
After two hours of challenging, it was almost noon, and the Wu army still did not respond at all, so Wu Song had to lead his troops back to the camp.
Zhao Hao said softly: "Select another 5,000 infantrymen this afternoon and continue to challenge them!"
Wu Song nodded, and understood that Zhao Hao wanted to not let Wu Jun have any time to rest.
Always be vigilant.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Wusong continued to challenge, but the Wu army still had no intention of fighting.
At dusk, Wusong led the army back to the camp again.
At night, Zhao Hao continued to use the method from yesterday.
Every hour, very close to the Wu army camp, there would be a battle with drums and music playing and deafening shouts of killing.
The Wu army hated this, but they could do nothing about it. They could only be on guard at all times and not let the Gan army take advantage of the opportunity.
After midnight, all the soldiers of Wu army were exhausted to the extreme.
I haven't slept for almost a day and two nights. How can a normal person stand it?
At this time, the Gan army finally launched an attack.
Although the Wu army camp was prepared, the soldiers were not in a state of preparedness to fight.
Zhao Hao and Wu Song took the lead and led the army directly into the Wu army camp.
The Wu army was in a state of disarray and had no power to resist, and was slaughtered madly by the Gan army.
Even the main general Ming Cheng was killed in the chaos.
By dawn, when the battle was over, only three or four thousand men had managed to escape from the battlefield.
Zhao Hao quickly ordered his men to clean up the battlefield and then went to control the ferry.
However, after a careful search, it was discovered that all the ferries had been destroyed.
Without a ferry, it would be impossible to cross the Chushui River quickly. Zhao Hao had already anticipated that this situation might occur.
He ordered people to build fortifications on the shore and build a pontoon bridge.
This was the original plan.
Because even if there was a ferry, it would take two days to cross the north bank of the Chu River.
Therefore, it was necessary to defend the south bank.
At noon, 20,000 reinforcements from Xingcheng arrived at the south bank of the Chushui River, about 30 miles away from the Gan army camp.
Moreover, they gathered the defeated troops from last night.
In the commander's tent, Xie Daoxun called in several defeated soldiers and asked them about what happened last night.
There was no sign of any emotional fluctuation on her ordinary face.
I just asked a few simple questions about the process before and after the battle between the two armies.
After questioning, he let these defeated soldiers go out.
The black-clad woman behind him said, "Sir, this Zhao Hao is too difficult to deal with. We were evenly matched, but he managed to turn it into a situation where we could take advantage of the situation."
Xie Daoxun took a deep breath and said helplessly: "He is a true genius."
"I originally thought that he had unprecedented and unparalleled achievements in the study of things."
"I didn't expect that in just such a short period of time, he has made such great progress in military affairs."
"Moreover, there are many strategies, and each one is brilliant."
The woman in black said, "Sir, they are trying to build a pontoon bridge. Should we attack now?"
Xie Daoxun pondered for a moment and said, "Since he used such a strategy on General Mingcheng..."
"Now, let's give him some!"
Immediately afterwards, the Wu army moved forward another fifteen miles.
There are still about fifteen miles left to the Gan army camp.
Immediately afterwards, the Wu army also sent out hundreds of drummers and musicians.
At nightfall, a burst of drums and music was heard outside the camp, accompanied by shouts of killing.
Upon hearing the noise, Zhao Hao was stunned.
Is this applying your own methods to yourself?
However, he did not dare to be careless and ordered his soldiers to dress properly and be on guard against the Wu army coming to raid the camp.
When Wu Song arrived at the tent, Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask, "Second Brother Wu, how is the construction of the floating bridge going?"
Wu Song said in a deep voice: "The speed is very slow. Although the water flow is the slowest here, it is still difficult to build a floating bridge."
"I'm afraid it will take several days to achieve this."
Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and nodded: "These past few days have been very difficult!"
Turning his gaze, Zhao Hao asked, "Who is the commander of the Wu army?"
Wu Song shook his head and said, "The army has not yet raised the commander's flag, so I don't know who is the commander-in-chief."
Zhao Hao frowned and said, "If that's the case, then I know who it is."
Wu Song asked quickly.
Zhao Hao said: "It should be the female prime minister of Wu, Xie Daoxun."
"Brother Wu, comfort the soldiers. These past few days have been difficult, and I have to thank you brothers for your hard work!"
Wu Song nodded and turned away immediately.
In the next two days, the Gan army built a pontoon bridge while defending against the Wu army.
During these two days, the soldiers had not had enough rest and were exhausted.
However, it was still okay during the day. Zhao Hao sent out a lot of scouts to observe the movements of the Wu army camp.
The soldiers did get some rest.
