A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 265 – Inner Battle
Sung Han told some people to go investigate the situation around the hill. It is true that General Khu said, that in the west there is a large and heavy river flow. Then in the north and east there are gaps that are impossible for humans to pass. Then on the hill, there are many giant rock formations that become a kind of protection wall for the trapped troops.
When Sung Han asked the approximate number of troops, they did not know for sure. There were obviously a hundred or two hundred people guarding the outside of the stone formation. However, there was a bright light from within the stone formation, I don't know how many people were there.
"So, how do you think we should move?" Gu Ren asked when one night, they gathered in a tent that was reserved for the swordsman leadership to negotiate with each other.
Sung Han first tapped a finger on the wooden table. One thing that seems to have become a habit since a while ago.
"If we go into a guerrilla war, there is an advantage on both sides. And the advantage points are exactly the same. Is the location of the giant rock formations that."
"That's the most obvious. The stones can be used as a place for both parties to take shelter. Unless they put out a bonfire. Both sides will suffer heavy losses. Fought blind," Khuang Peng said.
"If it is like that, it is clear that the warriors are lucky" interrupted Sung Hwa suddenly. "Try thinking. The warriors below us were not warriors yesterday afternoon. They are the chosen warriors with good quality. Fighting in the dark, just blinding them, but not making them deaf."
Right on target, Sung Hwa's words were absolutely right. For the warriors fighting below them, it had already reached a high level. Moreover, the five of them, the fight in the dark should not be a big deal.
"But we don't know what they have. What if those samurai and ronin had the same abilities?" Sung Han reminded.
"You scared? No way, right?"
Sung Han shook his head. "Of course I'm not afraid. But we should be able to make this first war fall victim to a minimum."
Sung Hwa is unable to argue. This is an opportunity to make their name go up. Not to be underestimated any further.
"So, what's your plan?"
Sung Han thought for a moment. His eyes twisted here and there but his forehead wrinkled. Suddenly, he recalled the incident in the village when he became the scapegoat from the kidnapping of the girls. Without his mouth smiling.
"What if we do an inner war?"
The four of them stare. "Huh?"
"Physical warfare, arms fighting and boxing, will be very detrimental and difficult for both sides. While the inner war, it is easier for us who are warriors. We can burn around the hill, but as General Khu said, the place is too humid and cold."
"Wait, what did you mean by inner war?" Nie Chi doesn't understand.
"We attack their minds. By spreading terror and fear. I'm sure this was already thought of by the Khu generals and others, but they couldn't do it because the Jeiji people had a lot of magic warriors. Not with the Chang army relying on war science. So, the only ones who can do this task are our troops, the warriors," Sung Han explained firmly.
The four nodded and became excited. It's true what Sung Han said. We can bring them to their knees with excessive bullying. Even at the highest level, it was possible that they would surrender themselves willingly.
The next day, Sung Han started to plan. He gathered all the warriors together and told them what they needed to do. He also advised to heed the words and jeers of the soldiers. Now is the time for the warriors to show off.
The mental battle that Sung Han mentioned would indeed have a tremendous impact. For a fighter, whether a soldier or a warrior, no matter how high his skills are, if his spirit disappears, then he will not be so frightened.
Conversely, even if a farmer who every day only holds a hoe, if his spirit blazes like a grudge for example, they even biaa tore people apart.
That's Sung Han's plan, paralyzing Jeiji's men and then being wiped out.
The first step, every night they will put torches around the hill. It is placed on a bamboo stick and then placed on the ground. From afar, one would think that the hill was being surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of people. So do not be surprised if every morning there will be a lot of arrows scattered around the torch. Jeiji's men have been fooled!
But this tactic only worked for up to two days before they became smarter by letting the torches die themselves.
"For deceivers. Justdoit. One man carry twenty blunt arrows, let the two remain sharp as ever."
Although confused, they comply. Another case with another Silat World King who looked in admiration. They already understood a little about Sung Han's plan.
At night on the third day, a hundred men were sent to crouch among the bushes of the hillside. On top, the Jeiji people lit many torches, making it easy to target them.
The order was clear, Sung Han just told the archery. So when the mark is sounded, they immediately shoot. Whether it's a blunt or sharp arrow.
The results were amazing, at first the Jeiji people were panicking with a sudden attack. But they became half-disparagingly surprised when the arrows had no sharp edges. Immediately counterattack.
But how surprised and astonished those people when one by one they fell with their heads or chests pierced by arrows. May the real arrows be hidden among the blunt arrows!
The night of the fourth day, as if not wanting to give a breath, Sung Han again lowered the command.
He had to gather all the arrows of Jeiji that had been wasted. Then told Sung Hwa's army, who were experts in secret weapons, to climb up the hill. Of course secretly.
"Attack from the west. Lure some people out of the cage with our arrows. Then shoot the Jeiji arrows into the cage while the people are still confused on the riverbank" Sung Han said.
Sung Hwa himself led the raid this time. They don't need a fatten except to make things difficult for themselves. When they reached the edge of the great river, they ascended slowly.
There were fifties of people standing guard there. Sung Hwa gestured and his troops threw the arrows. Indiscriminately and recklessly, not really threatening the enemy.
"Who's there?" snapped at one of Jeiji's empires and they fired arrows.
Some of Sung Hwa's men deliberately shouted to give the impression the shot was successful. The Jeiji people became excited and quickly approached Sung Hwa's hiding place.
But then, Sung Hwa's army deftly turned and shot Jeiji's arrows into the camp behind the huge rock formation.
"Good, let's back off and see the results!" sung Hwa said after they managed to spread Jeiji's arrows to the camp.
Dozens of people came out of the camp, and their eyes searched. They walked towards the arrow and were surprised to know that the fifties, with a sling in hand, were searching among the thickets.
"Your bastards, are you going to attack your own comrades?" snatched a ronin from the camp.
"Whatchu mean? There was an assault."
"Don't lie if you're a man. Here's proof!" He pulled out the arrow that stuck on his shoulder. "These are your arrows, right? Indeed the rotten samurai, you look down on us ronin!"
Sung Hwa returns to Sung Han and reports. "They fought each other. Although it can be calmed back by an old ronin, but the dead are quite good. There are dozens."
"Good."
Sung Han looked at the map. "Next plan."
