Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

As time went by, the atmosphere in the camp remained tense.

Chu Ze sat in the tent, waiting for the battle report.

Suddenly, a scout came running over and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, victory news came from the southeast. General Lu has successfully ambushed the enemy. Most of the 2,000 enemy troops have been annihilated, and the rest have fled and are nowhere to be found!"

Chu Ze said calmly: "Very good, inform the whole army to continue to strengthen defense and not let down your guard tonight!"

The scout immediately responded and rushed away.

Chu Ze was standing outside the tent when he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the direction of the camp. He turned around and saw Guo Huai walking towards him quickly with a hint of anxiety on his face.

"Your Majesty, we just received intelligence that the main force of the Western Xia army has begun to gather. They are likely planning to launch a surprise attack on our army at night!"

Chu Ze glanced at him coldly, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Xixia wants to attack me? They are just asking for trouble!"

Guo Huai's face was solemn: "Your Majesty, this time they have assembled 30,000 elite soldiers, and their number should not be underestimated.

I suggest that maybe we should take the initiative and not give them any chances!"

Chu Ze thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Okay.

Since they came to me on their own initiative, I don’t intend to let them live in peace!”

"I am willing to lead the troops to attack first!" Guo Huai clasped his fists and asked for battle.

"We can attack, but don't rush into a head-on confrontation!" Chu Ze shook his head: "They have more soldiers, we have to win by clever tactics.

Send scouts to find out their specific deployment first, and when they reveal their flaws, annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Guo Huai received the order: "I understand. Send someone to investigate immediately!"

"Go!" Chu Ze said calmly, "Everything must be done quickly. I don't like dragging things out!"

Guo Huai immediately took the order and left.

Chu Ze stood there with a stern look in his eyes, quietly waiting for the latest news.

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent again, and a scout came in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the front reported that the main force of Xixia has set up camp thirty miles away from our army, and there is no sign of mobilization yet!"

"Set up camp? Are they still sitting still?" Chu Ze sneered, "It seems they are waiting for some signal.

Give them some more time, don't alert them!"

The scout clasped his fists and said, "I understand. Continue to monitor their movements!"

Chu Ze waved his hand, signaling the scouts to retreat, then he turned and walked towards the camp. Halfway there he suddenly stopped and said to his guards, "Go call Lu Bing. I have something to ask him!"

The guards took the order and left. After a while, Lu Bing hurried over and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Chu Ze glanced at him and said calmly: "The main force of Xixia is approaching, and I don't intend to fight them head-on.

You take a thousand cavalrymen, go around their camp, and when they send out their troops, cut off their food supply!"

Lu Bing's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, do you mean to cut off their food supply and force them to rebel?"

"That's right!" Chu Ze nodded: "They have a lot of soldiers, and they rely on logistical supplies.

If their food supply is cut off, within three days, the army will lose its morale!"

"I understand. I'll arrange it right away!" Lu Bing responded with a fist salute.

"Remember, your actions must be covert and you must not alert the enemy!" Chu Ze added.

"I will follow your majesty's orders!" Lu Bing said, and left quickly.

Chu Ze stood there with a deep look in his eyes.

The guards around him didn't dare to say much and stood by silently.

Time passed little by little, the night deepened, and the soldiers in the camp were still busy, no one dared to slack off. Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a scout came on a fast horse and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, there is a sudden movement in the Xixia army, it seems that they are mobilizing troops!"

Chu Ze smiled slightly: "They finally couldn't help it? Very good, send a message to the whole army, prepare for battle!"

The scout immediately took the order and ran away.

Soon, the soldiers in the camp began to gather quickly, with spears and shields arranged neatly, archers standing in front of the formation ready for battle, and the neighing of war horses rising one after another.

Guo Huai also came over, his face full of sternness: "Your Majesty, the enemy has begun to approach, should our army meet them immediately?"

"Don't be impatient!" Chu Ze shook his head and said, "Let them enter the ambush circle first, and then take action when the most appropriate time is right!"

Guo Huai nodded: "I understand. The archers are ready and can attack at any time!"

Soon, the Xixia vanguard approached. Chu Ze narrowed his eyes and slowly raised his hand: "Wait until they get closer!"

The enemy troops were getting closer and closer, and their formations and weapons could be clearly seen.

Chu Ze suddenly waved his hand: "Release the arrow!"

Hundreds of sharp arrows shot at the enemy like raindrops. The soldiers in the front row were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another, screaming in agony.

The Western Xia army was thrown into chaos, with soldiers fleeing in all directions without any order.

Guo Huai was overjoyed and immediately shouted to Chu Ze: "Your Majesty, the enemy army is in chaos!"

Chu Ze sneered: “It’s just the beginning.

Attack with all your forces and annihilate them!"

Five hundred cavalrymen rushed towards the enemy camp like tigers descending from the mountains, swords and spears in hand, sweeping across the area.

The Western Xia soldiers were completely unable to resist, their formation was torn apart in an instant, and the soldiers fled in all directions.

Guo Huai brandished his spear and fought bravely. As he killed the enemies, he turned back and shouted, "Your Majesty, they are in chaos!"

"Chase them and leave no one alive!" Chu Ze gave an order, and the cavalrymen rushed towards the defeated enemy troops like a torrent, completely submerging them.

The battle lasted for a short time before the Western Xia's vanguard troops were completely wiped out and the soldiers cheered.

Guo Huai rushed to Chu Ze with a joyful look on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, great victory!"

"Don't be too happy!" Chu Ze said calmly: "This is their forward, the main force hasn't moved yet.

Continue to reorganize the team and prepare for the next wave of attack! "

Guo Huai quickly cupped his hands: "I understand!"

The soldiers quickly began to clean up the battlefield and gathered the enemy's bodies for disposal.

Guo Huai led a team to continue monitoring the surroundings to prevent any lurking enemy troops.

Not long after, Lu Bing returned to the camp with a small group of cavalrymen. He jumped off his horse and rushed to Chu Ze, clasping his fists and saying, "Your Majesty, I have successfully cut off Xixia's food supply. I'm afraid their logistics supply will not last long!"

"Very good!" Chu Ze nodded: "Next, it depends on how they mess up their formation!"

Lu Bing's face was full of excitement: "Your Majesty is wise, the enemy army may not be able to hold out for a few days!"

Chu Ze said calmly: "Don't be careless, they will definitely make another move. Send a message to the entire army, stay alert!"

"I understand!" Lu Bing immediately went to convey the order.

Time passed minute by minute, and the main force of Western Xia never made any further moves. However, there was a tense atmosphere in the camp, and the soldiers were ready to face any possible battle at any time.

As the sky gradually brightened, the soldiers in the camp remained on high alert. Suddenly, a scout came running over and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the Western Xia army suddenly began to retreat. They seemed to have realized that their food supply had been cut off and had begun to evacuate northward!" (End of this chapter)
