Someone yelled, and as soon as he finished speaking, the person rushed forward, his face full of excitement.
And this shout instantly attracted all the surrounding soldiers.
The ghost army, who had been hungry for several days, would react when they saw food. You can already imagine what would happen next.
During the frantic snatching, the items containing the steamed buns were knocked over and scattered everywhere.
I don’t know how many people pounced on it like hungry dogs. They didn’t care whether it was dusty or not. They grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths.
"Mine! This is mine!"
Someone tripped and was pushed to the ground by several people in the crowd, but they still frantically grabbed the steamed buns.
Not only here, but not long after, almost the same thing happened in every place in the entire camp.
Someone is fighting for dry food.
Someone was lying next to the bucket to drink water, but he was quickly pulled away and got in on his own.
Someone was grabbing the scraps.
In many places, more than a dozen people fell to the ground, wrestling and tumbling over each other while sharing a steamed bun.
There was a steamed bun that was being snatched and rolled to the side. A soldier picked it up and immediately became excited, his eyes shining: "Mine! Mine..."
Under such circumstances, all the ghost troops have no intention of fighting. They only think about one thing at the moment, and that is to fill their stomachs!
Countless soldiers were fighting and fighting, and the whole camp was filled with angry curses.
Seeing this scene, Urcha was furious and kept shouting: "Stop everyone! Stop everyone! What are you doing!"
But now, who will listen to him!
I've been hungry for days!
The situation was completely uncontrollable. At this moment, the deputy general came over in a hurry, holding a clean steamed bun in his hand, and handed it to Urcha: "General."
"You!" Unexpectedly, the deputy general also ran to grab the food! Urcha wanted to get angry, but when he lowered his head to look at the steamed buns, he couldn't help but swallowed, and swallowed the next words.
The deputy general took the opportunity to say: "General, the warriors have been chewing tree bark for several days. They are really hungry. When they see food, they will definitely go crazy. Moreover, with a full stomach, our combat power will be stronger." , let them snatch it.”
"This!" Urcha wanted to say that this place is not a good place to stay for a long time, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the steamed buns. After swallowing again, he hurriedly took it and stuffed it into his mouth.
He devoured a steamed bun without taking two bites. After finishing it, his Adam's apple slipped and he subconsciously asked: "Is there any more?"
Seeing his appearance, the deputy general was secretly amused, and then nodded quickly: "Also, general, I'll go look for him later."
Food is deadly food, but it's not poisonous yet.
And this looting, I don’t know how long it lasted, affected the entire ghost army from top to bottom, and everyone participated.
At the same time, the 'defeated' spiritual army had already quietly turned back, and the main force of the Allied forces had formed a large siege of this place from the outside.
To put it simply, the location where the ghost army besieged was changed from Pinggu City to this camp.
In the camp, the fight continued. Suddenly, with a bang, a black object fell to the ground, like a broken earthen jar.
Immediately afterwards, countless oil jars drew arcs in the air and hit various places in the camp one after another.
Bang bang bang bang!
The sound of explosions came and went.
Obviously, while the ghost army's attention was attracted by the food, the Allied forces had unknowingly approached here and launched the trebuchet that had been prepared for a long time.
The ghost army who were still fighting for it was somewhat confused, but Urcha's eyes widened in an instant, and then he roared: "Quick! There's an enemy attack! That's kerosene -"
But his reminder was too late!
After the oil altar was thrown, what followed immediately was a shower of arrows, with firelight, and they were nailed to every part of the camp indiscriminately!
Before, the oil altar shattered and the fire oil spattered everywhere. Now it ignited when it was touched by fire. Almost instantly, the fire snakes followed the oil stains and spread rapidly, forming a sea of fire.
Moreover, the tents were mostly made of wood and cloth, and when they were stained with kerosene, the fire was even more unstoppable. In an instant, they were burning with crackling sounds.
One tent was connected to the other, and as far as the eye could see, there was a huge fire, and all the ghost soldiers were screaming miserably in the fire.
Urcha stood there blankly, dumbfounded.
But despite this, there were still people who finally took advantage of this opportunity to grab the steamed buns. Their faces were filled with joy, which showed how hungry they were!
The scene was in chaos, and firemen could be seen dancing with their hands and feet everywhere.
Others who were the first to grab the food began to vomit blood one after another.
The deputy general of the ghost army also rushed to Urcha's side. He was about to say something urgently, but there was a pop and a mouthful of black blood spurted out. Then he stumbled and fell. He stretched his arms forward and shouted with difficulty: "General... "
"You..." Urcha's eyes were horrified. Looking at the deputy general's dark lips, he suddenly realized something. Then, he covered his neck, his face changed drastically, he knelt on the ground, vomiting blood, and said with extreme reluctance:
"The food... is poisonous! The coalition forces... are so cruel..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the ground with his head and fell to the ground. He tilted his head and stared wide-eyed.
The deputy general had already died. Like him, there were countless ghost soldiers who died from poisoning. Coupled with the current fire, this army was almost wiped out.
Of course, some ghost soldiers who had not grabbed food rushed to the camp gate, but this was the biggest arson point for the Allies. The purpose was to burn the ghost soldiers alive inside, so how could they be allowed to come out.
Someone was forced and rushed out with a roar, but was instantly swallowed up by the sea of fire, burned into a burning man, and let out a miserable howl.
The heat wave scorched the face, and the fire snakes raged. The longer the time went on, the bigger the fire burned throughout the camp!
It didn't take long at all, and they were all burned together, forming a larger sea of fire.
Time passed slowly, and not a single ghost army came out in front of the camp gate. The miserable howls one after another gradually calmed down in the second half of the night, and only the crackling sound of fire remained in the entire scene.
Cheng Ping's strategy, to put it bluntly, is to change a place for the ghost army, a place where it can be easily annihilated, and then lure it with food to create an opportunity for the Allied forces to encircle and suppress them.
This arrangement may not seem big, but it is actually very thorough. Without these foods, the ghost army would not stay here, giving the Allies time to burn. If they did not fake defeat, the ghost army would not be brought in.
The result of the tactical planning was that the Allied forces suffered almost no losses and easily annihilated more than 30,000 ghost troops.
So far, all the troops of Urcha, from the initial 300,000 troops, have been completely wiped out.
Inside the allied camp.
After listening to Lin Chu's report, Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "Cheng Ping's plan has many clever points. He was sure that the ghost army would fight for food. This person is very cunning..."
