Just as Zhuge Liang predicted, after three days of continuous attacks, the indigenous soldiers not only suffered nearly four thousand casualties, but also ran out of food.
With no food in the army and suffering heavy losses, the native soldiers, who had come with hatred, had lost all will to fight.
After the spy reported the situation of the native soldiers to Liu Wen, he immediately summoned Zhuge Liang.
"Kongming, the enemy is now out of food. Shouldn't we send troops?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness, if our army launches an attack now, although we may win, it is inevitable that some enemies will escape."
If these people escape back, they will inevitably cause trouble for our army in the future..."
"Oh?" Liu Wen's brows furrowed. "So, Kongming has a way to annihilate the enemy?"
Zhuge Liang nodded: "Your Highness, as I predicted, the enemy will definitely choose to attack our camp tonight. As long as we prepare an ambush, we will surely annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop!"
"Alright, then it's up to you to make the arrangements!"
"Here you go!"
Zhuge Liang agreed and then bowed and withdrew.
After bidding farewell to Liu Wen, Zhuge Liang summoned all the officers of the army.
Zhuge Liang slowly glanced at the assembled officers and said in a deep voice, "By order of His Highness, I will be in charge of all military affairs from now on. You all must cooperate fully and not delay or disregard this order!"
"Here you go!!"
Upon hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the officers responded in unison. These men were elites selected from the Imperial Guard and the navy stationed in Bangkok, so their execution ability was beyond question.
Subsequently, Zhuge Liang began to arrange the night ambush, meticulously planning everything from the location of the ambushers to the placement of oil and straw figures.
Soon, the entire Han army camp began to move silently.
While the Han army was busy, the leader of the Segeng tribe also gathered everyone together to discuss their next strategy.
"Gentlemen, our army is now out of food, and the morale of our warriors is low. If we cannot break through the Han army's camp, then we will have no choice but to retreat and wait for the Han army to slowly retreat back to our homeland!"
Upon hearing the words of the leader of the Segeng tribe, the other leaders frowned and looked solemn.
One of the leaders asked with a bitter expression, "But the Han army is holding firm and we can't break through their crossbow bolts. What should we do?"
The leader of the Segen tribe said solemnly, "Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to launch a night attack. If it succeeds, the Han army will retreat, and we will have no more worries. If it fails, we will have to retreat and discuss the matter further!"
"At this point, this is the only way!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with the proposal from the Erotic Troupe.
After all, they are quite good at ambushes.
As dusk fell, just as these indigenous tribes were preparing for their surprise attack, the Han army also completed its deployment.
Under Zhuge Liang's arrangement, the entire Han army camp was transformed into a massive killing formation riddled with oil traps.
After leaving 10,000 soldiers to hold off the enemy, Zhuge Liang deployed the remaining 40,000 troops around the main camp to block all of the enemy's retreat routes.
As night fell, the Han army camp was unusually quiet, with only a few torches flickering.
From a distance, the entire camp looked like a giant beast in the night, its mouth agape, waiting for its prey to enter its jaws.
At midnight, the leader of the Segeng tribe led his army and quietly approached the Han army camp.
The soldiers lying in ambush in the distance, seeing that the natives were indeed coming to attack the camp, immediately held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.
Looking at the tightly closed camp gates and the scattered torches inside, the leader of the Segen tribe felt a sudden sense of unease, as if something ominous was waiting for him in the Han army camp.
Just as they were hesitating, a leader stepped forward excitedly and said, "Great! The Han army's night defenses are indeed very lax. It's like heaven is helping us. Let's not delay any longer and charge in!"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Segeng tribe took a deep look at the Han army camp. He wanted to retreat, but after seeing that everyone around him was eager to try, he gave up the idea.
Since we've already come all this way, turning back now would not only damage morale but also affect our standing among the soldiers.
After a moment's thought, the leader of the Segeng tribe nodded and then ordered several of his men to move the barricades in front of the camp and open the camp gate.
"Kill them!"
As the camp gates opened, the leader of the Segeng tribe led a group of soldiers and rushed into the camp.
"Everyone, follow me straight to the enemy's main camp!"
The leader of the Segen tribe, who had stormed into the camp, led a group of his men straight to the central command tent in the middle of the camp, followed closely by the other tribal leaders and soldiers.
Just as the leader of the Segen tribe led his men to the center of the Han army camp, they suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the leader of the Colored Clan suddenly stop, a companion stepped forward with a puzzled look and asked.
"No, it's too quiet. We haven't seen a single Han soldier yet..."
Looking at the densely packed Han army camps around him, the leader of the Segen tribe said with a look of trepidation.
Logically speaking, if the enemy sneaks into the camp, whether one is in a panic to fight back or running around and trampling, one should at least have some kind of reaction.
But their men have rushed so far in, yet they haven't encountered a single Han soldier. This is truly bizarre.
