Chapter 163

Darkness fell very early; one moment it was still daytime, and the next it was already dim.

Under the cover of night, Xiang Yu and the others' hiding was even more secretive.

And they had already been hiding here for a whole day.

Just to let this group of people relax their vigilance.

Although Wang Ben was resting here, he did not relax his vigilance.

While resting, he had already sent people to the surroundings to investigate the situation.

And those people investigating the situation also chose to cross the bridge to the shore to take a look.

But they did not go very far, just roughly checked the situation and returned.

After the people Wang Ben arranged investigated the situation, he let the entire army rest here for a night.

Morale is something that greatly affects an army's combat capability.

As a general who had been fighting on the battlefield for several years, he naturally understood this point.

"Great Chu remnants, where is their current location?"

Wang Ben took out the map of Shangjun and began to discuss with the strategists around him.

"This area."

One of the strategists drew a circle on the sand table with a wooden stick.

And the location of this circle was the specific location of the Great Chu remnants.

"This location is surrounded by mountains on two sides; if we can't take it down, it's very easy for the Great Chu remnants to enter the mountains."

One of them said.

Hearing this person's words, Wang Ben's brows immediately furrowed.

He had come here this time to completely eliminate this group of Great Chu remnants and accumulate military merit.

If this group of Great Chu remnants ran into the mountains, wouldn't his mission fail?

"No."

"Absolutely cannot let this group of Great Chu remnants run into the mountains."

"Find a way for me to cut off their retreat."

Wang Ben's voice was cold, and his expression was gloomy.

The several strategists beside him immediately fell silent.

Every strategist's face revealed a serious expression.

Surrounded by mountains on two sides, if they wanted to prevent them from escaping into the mountain forest, they needed to make preparations in two places.

"What is the troop strength of the Great Chu remnants?"

One of the strategists asked.

"It is reported that there are 70, 00."

Another person replied.

"We have absolutely no way to block their retreat."

"Once we disperse our troops, we will only be defeated one by one by them."

After thinking for a long time, this group of strategists still did not think of a good countermeasure.

And Wang Ben's expression became darker and darker.

He did not expect that after discussing for so long, this group of strategists would have no way at all.

"So it is reported that there are 70, 00, but their specific troop strength is definitely not 70, 00."

"And we are a solid 100, 00."

"If we can't fight a beautiful battle with more against less, are you losing face for this general?"

Wang Ben's face and voice were equally gloomy.

Now, this group of strategists did not dare to say a word.

Now whatever they said was wrong, and they could also anger General Wang Ben.

"To catch the bandits, first catch the king; if we target the bloodline of the Great Chu remnants, this matter will be much easier to solve."

Seeming unable to bear this cold and frozen atmosphere.

One of the strategists raised his head and said.

"General, your mission this time is to eliminate this group of Great Chu remnants, but this group of Great Chu remnants all take the Chu bloodline as the head."

"If we eliminate all these Chu bloodlines, the remaining people will only be a mob."

"After all, without this group of Chu bloodlines, the other people will only be a pile of loose sand, just a pile of loose sand, not worth our effort at all."

……

……

……Ding.

After listening to the strategist's words, Wang Ben's expression darkened slightly.

"You are right; if we really target this group of Chu bloodlines."

"The rest will only be a pile of loose sand."

"Leave this matter to you to be responsible for; tomorrow, I want to hear a complete plan."

The entire tent looked dim.

Even with candles lit, it still did not make the tent look any brighter.

Dim candlelight would naturally make people fall into drowsiness.

Rubbing his brows, Wang Ben waved for this group of strategists to go down.

The existence of strategists is meant to provide methods for the general.

This group of strategists could also be considered to have been by his side for a period of time.

Although they were not of much use, they could be considered not to make mistakes.

When the strategists left Wang Ben's tent, each of them revealed a distressed expression on their faces.

To hand in a complete plan early tomorrow morning meant that they would not be able to sleep tonight.

Besides sighing, they returned to another tent.

The only ones who could move outside were the patrolling soldiers.

The night grew deeper, and soon, those who fell into darkness discovered that they could no longer see the surrounding scenery.

And Xiang Yu and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, could see the situation here clearly.

After all, Wang Ben's army had lit torches, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

"Are you ready?"

Xiang Yu asked a person beside him.

"Young Master, we are ready."

That person said.

The 5, 00 people he brought out today were all old men who had followed him for a long time.

Xiang Liang would not be at ease bringing those newly joined people to his side.

After all, who knew if there were any people harboring evil intentions among that group.

"Set off with me."

Following the order, many soldiers hiding in the shadows followed behind Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu and the others sneaked across the wooden bridge and arrived at the opposite shore.

The moment the firelight lit up, countless fire arrows flew toward the tents here.

The moment the firelight lit up, it had already attracted the attention of the patrols.

But the patrolling soldiers had not yet had time to shout when countless fire arrows had already flown over.

By the time their voices were shouted out, many tents had already been ignited.

The soldiers who were in deep sleep inside were immediately awakened by this sound and the smell in the surroundings.

Wang Ben also quickly ran out from his tent.
