Xuan Zan was already seen leading his troops, bows drawn and arrows nocked, on guard.
The sounds of battle had ceased outside the camp.
Guan Sheng frowned and said,
"Where is the enemy on?"
Xuan Zan said resentfully,
"It's right in front of the camp gate,"
"After I led my troops there,"
"Then there was no more movement,"
"The thief is probably just causing trouble again."
"General, please go back and rest."
"I'll guard the camp,"
"When the bandits truly come to attack,"
"They absolutely cannot break in."
Guan Sheng nodded and said,
As the art of war says, "Use deception and reality interchangeably,"
"Don't be careless!"
"Be careful, the thieves might actually break in next time."
"Don't worry, General."
Xuan Zan watched Guan Sheng leave.
He couldn't help but curse.
"The Liangshan bandits are too cunning,"
"If I catch him,"
“They were all skinned alive.”
The soldiers were also complaining bitterly.
Guan Sheng returned to the main tent.
Just as he was about to take off his clothes,
Then another shout of battle was heard outside the camp.
However, it seems they've changed direction.
Guan Sheng didn't rush to leave the tent this time either.
After waiting for a while,
But the sounds of battle shouts grew closer and closer.
They hurriedly came out of the tent.
"Oh no, I'm afraid the thief is serious now."
Guan Sheng walked towards the sound.
As they approached the edge of the main camp,
The shouts of battle suddenly ceased.
Only the sound of footsteps from the camp's soldiers arriving remained.
Xuanzan led his troops to arrive.
The Liangshan bandits have vanished again.
Unable to control the airway,
"I'll lead a thousand soldiers out of the camp and wipe out all these petty thieves."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid they won't be able to have a moment's peace all night."
Guan Sheng quickly stopped him.
"No, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light,"
"And who knows how many thieves there are,"
"Leaving the camp rashly might lead to an ambush,"
"And the thieves are roaming around,"
"Even if we go out, we might not be able to catch them,"
"We should continue to strengthen our defenses."
Xuan Zan said with dissatisfaction,
"When we set up camp, we told them to dig lots of pitfalls,"
"They complained, and now they deserved to have been terrified all night."
Guan Sheng also knew that when setting up camp,
The soldiers were noisy.
Digging extensive pits is indeed a huge undertaking.
The soldiers, exhausted from a day and a night's toil, naturally complained.
They also feared that, like the previous night, the Liangshan bandits wouldn't come at all.
Who would want to do that hard work?
In the end, Xuanzan had no choice but to abandon the idea.
Xuanzan complained in front of the soldiers on night duty.
He shook his head and said,
"Let's not dwell on the past,"
"You'll have to work a little harder,"
"I will recommend you for commendation after the bandits are successfully annihilated."
Guan Sheng then reassured the patrolling soldiers for a while.
Only then did they return to their accounts.
This night,
The harassment from Liangshan never stopped.
When the soldiers in the barracks got used to the gongs and battle cries of Liangshan...
A deafening cannon shot rang out from outside the camp.
This immediately threw the entire military camp into chaos.
Guan Sheng heard the sound of a signal cannon.
They thought Liangshan had really brought troops to attack.
Fearing that Xuanzan wouldn't be able to stop it,
They rushed out of the camp to check, only to find it was a false alarm.
Chapter 1493 What Plan Will Be Made?
However, the soldiers in the camp were running around in all directions.
Guan Sheng led his troops to arrest some people.
Only then did the entire camp quiet down again.
"boom!"
Guan Shenggang ordered the soldiers to return to their tents.
Suddenly, a huge rock crashed into the camp.
Although not very powerful
But the noise was quite loud.
The soldiers hadn't slept well for two nights.
Everyone was on edge.
Hearing that a giant rock had fallen into the camp,
The camp erupted into chaos once again.
Some panicked soldiers even started shouting and hacking at each other.
"boom!"
Another artillery shell fired into the camp.
Although no one was killed in the explosion.
But the loud noise only caused more chaos in the military camp.
Xuan Zan could no longer hold back.
"Brother, let me lead the troops out and capture these bandits,"
"Otherwise, let the bandits keep firing their cannons like this,"
"I'm afraid things will get increasingly chaotic in the camp."
Guan Sheng saw that the camp was in complete chaos.
Knowing that this wasn't a solution, he nodded and said...
"You will lead a thousand men out of the camp,"
"Be extremely careful!"
"If the bandits retreat, do not pursue them."
Xuan Zan received the order.
Order the camp gates opened immediately.
He led a thousand men and charged toward the direction from which the boulder had been thrown.
After Xuanzan left the camp,
No more boulders were thrown.
Guan Sheng also began leading his troops to suppress the rioting soldiers in the camp.
Once Guan Sheng had restored quiet to the camp,
Xuan Zan reluctantly led his troops back.
"So, have you found any trace of the thief?"
Xuan Zan shook his head and said,
"Only one catapult was found,"
"The thief has escaped; we've searched everywhere."
"No trace of the thief was found either,"
"It seems they escaped back."
Guan Sheng looked at the sky, which was already beginning to brighten, and said with a wry smile,
"No one slept a wink again that night,"
"The army will rest here for a day,"
