Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 352 - 350 Imminent
Chapter 352: Chapter 350 Imminent
Since it wasn’t yet time for the contest, these people entered the field and went straight to their camp to rest and reorganize.
And this process of rest and organization made everyone’s eyes light up, as every move they made exuded a different kind of temperament.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the decisiveness and strict obedience displayed caught everyone by surprise.
This also subtly caused a clever shift in the hearts of the Hu people.
Even though Agusi and Sun Heng tried their best to dispel the anxiety and fear in everyone’s hearts, the effect was not as satisfactory as they wished. After all, such momentum from the enemy would inevitably have some influence on them.
Seeing an unstoppable trend, and with no alternatives, Agusi had no choice but to order everyone to stop looking that way and just focus on eating the food in their hands.
Despite following Agusi’s orders on the surface, the unease in the hearts of these Hu people grew even thicker.
In contrast, upon reaching his own camp, Lin Yi gave an order and everyone immediately began reorganizing themselves.
They then took out the dry rations they had prepared in advance and started eating heartily.
Of course, Lin Yi wouldn’t arrange for something like setting up cooking pots; the food they ate was not ordinary food.
It was a special military ration Lin Yi had researched, similar to the compressed biscuits of later generations.
Some may wonder if the technology for compressed biscuits existed now.
Certainly not!
But Lin Yi knew the recipe. After frying several grains, they were pressed tightly, slowly making compressed military rations for You Country.
Although these were much less tasty compared to future-era compressed biscuits, in this era, they were undoubtedly excellent goods.
Many people were struggling with basic food and warmth, and each of these small biscuit blocks was filled with an abundance of grain.
Upon seeing these men stuffing such small blocks into their mouths, everyone was stunned.
People began to discuss, especially the commoners, who felt very uncomfortable seeing this mysterious troop chewing on something as hard as bricks.
They all thought about bringing out their own home-stored grains for the soldiers to eat.
Even the young Emperor had someone convey a message to Lin Yi.
If Lin Yi’s side was tight on funds, the Emperor would immediately send over food supplies.
However, Lin Yi flatly refused this, because they would soon be putting all their strength into a great battle, and eating too much was not conducive to movement.
Moreover, the men were already accustomed to such training, not having eaten less of this substance during field exercises, and to them, it was indeed a delicacy.
"Tell His Majesty to just watch with ease. These men won’t escape; I will surely display the might of You Country."
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Finally, amidst this atmosphere, a rapid drumbeat suddenly rang out in the drill ground.
With the drumbeats, two teams of men also got to their feet, but compared to the Hu people, this side was much more orderly and unified.
These men quickly stood up from the ground and immediately integrated into the formation, making it once again appear as imposing as a continuous mountain range.
In essence, all these changes happened too fast for the Hu people to react.
"Warriors of the Grassland, draw your scimitars from your waists, and with your Commander, charge in and out of the enemy seven times!
A mere 500 soldiers from You Country dare to challenge us; they truly do not know life from death.
Brothers, make sure to show them their place after this fight. After we return, I, the Commander, will personally commend you!"
Accompanied by such encouraging words, the Hu people roared and charged forward, quickly taking one side of the field, ready to charge.
On the other side, Lin Yi had people tidy up the utensils and then shouted to his men:
"Everyone listen to my command, quickly inspect your weapons and equipment, and maintain battle readiness at all times."
Following his command, the 500 men quickly took out the sticks they had been carrying on their backs.
In the bewildered gaze of the crowd, this elite force of soldiers began to manipulate the iron sticks in their hands energetically, making the crowd wonder and suspect they had overestimated these men.
At this moment, the Hu people had already drawn their scimitars, but what about Lin Yi’s 500 soldiers? Though they looked brave and formidable, they had taken out iron sticks instead.
How could this not provoke their indignation?
They had already anticipated that if both forces collided, their side would gain nothing.
Yet Lin Yi seemed indifferent to their thoughts and simply waved his hand at his men.
The next moment, the well-organized troop in front of Lin Yi instantly disbanded.
In just a few breaths, they had completely spread out
And this scene caught the foreign soldiers off guard, leaving them exchanging puzzled looks, unclear as to what had just happened.
"Sun Heng, you’ve seen much of the world, have you ever seen such a tactic?"
The questioned Sun Heng was also bewildered; this was nothing like what he had known before.
He was well-versed in military texts and understood various formations.
However, he had never seen anything like this.
How could such a tactic be used between two opposing armies?
Even though the powers of both sides were unbalanced, it was only a ratio of 1:2.
Wouldn’t scattering like this make them sitting ducks?
A direct charge from our cavalry would sweep through them, leaving none of Lin Yi’s men alive.
Yet now the soldiers of You Country had indeed used such a strategy, inciting Sun Heng’s curiosity.
Especially given that Shi Heng was already puzzled upon seeing them equipped with iron sticks. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
