I, Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty succubus

Everyone knew that this was a moment of life and death, and they had to unite as one. Huo Manman's recent victory gave them a little confidence.

Manman is still very stable.

Her face is still blushing, her skin is still fair...her whole person still looks so fair and rosy.

Faced with so many gazes, she subconsciously tightened the robe Liu Ji had given her and put her hands on her chest to cover it. Although that part was no longer exposed, this action had become a habit.

She is...too big and is always a nuisance.

After waiting for a long time, she spoke.

"First, send two hundred people to flee to the base camp... These two hundred people should disperse into groups of five and throw all the looted items on the ground."

"The remaining three hundred people continue to follow me."

This time, Zhang Yan did not express her attitude immediately, but asked, "Why? Manman, why did you do this?"

Huo Manman said slowly, "With just our small number of people, we definitely can't hold off thousands of people, so we need support from the base camp. I see these barbarians are wearing tattered clothes and have sallow faces, and it's obvious that they don't have enough to eat, so I told them to leave the spoils along the way, and they will surely follow behind."

She continued, "Our advantage is that we can enforce discipline. If we spread out in groups of five, they will think we are deserters and will chase us recklessly. Once we reach our base camp and enter the forest, we will have everything under our control."

Everyone nodded as they listened, and Zhang Yan waved his hand, "Resolutely follow the order!"

"Yes!"

She added, "Let me lead those two hundred people."

But this time, someone spoke up to stop them, "General, let us old men come. The two hundred men this time are all scattered. If they are caught, they will surely die. We can't let the general take this risk."

After this man finished speaking...a group of elderly people stood up.

This is a death mission...

Zhang Yan didn't say anything else. The current team really couldn't do without her. She was not afraid of death... but she couldn't die here.

Soon, two hundred people rushed towards the base camp like crazy with the spoils.

They looked like complete rout.

They work in groups of five and have to resolutely execute orders. It is impossible for the army to do this in this era, but they can... and they can execute them 100%.

Along the way, all kinds of spoils were thrown everywhere.

Soon, these people were discovered by the thousand barbarians. The barbarians also discovered their dead counterparts and rushed towards the fleeing soldiers like crazy.

Screams continued to be heard in the distance.

The three hundred people who hid all had tears in their eyes.

After such a long time of getting along and supporting each other, the feelings of this team have become extraordinary.

Zhang Yan patted Huo Manman on the shoulder and whispered, "They can execute your orders 100%, but you also want them to die worthily."

Manman was still shy, she nodded vigorously.

Three hundred people followed the thousand barbarians and moved forward slowly.

The discipline of these barbarians is not good. Even after the main force has chased for a long distance, there are still barbarians searching for spoils behind them, and some of them are ready to rush over and fight immediately.

Huo Manman stretched out his hand to stop her, "Don't act rashly now. We must not be exposed."

The political commander immediately came out to persuade them, and although these people were angry, they accepted it.

This is the difference between the two teams. One side can't even follow the main force, while the other side can follow orders 100%. In a team of 500 people, not even one person disobeyed orders.

This would have been impossible for other armies of the same era.

After marching for a whole day and night, the barbarian army finally entered the woods in front of the base camp, and then... a burst of shouting and killing broke out from inside.

Although the people left in the base camp are all old, weak, sick and disabled, there are still a lot of people, and the most important thing is...Daozu is still inside.

Huo Manman and Zhang Yan led three hundred people and waited quietly outside.

With the experience from the last time, no one put forward any other suggestions this time... After fighting for half a day, a barbarian finally ran out. It seemed... that they were defeated.

Everyone looked excited.

Daozu is indeed Daozu, it is impossible for him to lose the battle.

Huo Manman immediately divided out fifty people and said, "Follow the barbarians who came out first, and wait until they run far away before taking action. You must not let the other barbarians see that there is an ambush behind us."

"Yes!"

The command was executed immediately.

Gradually, more and more barbarians came out, and Manman sent out another fifty people.

Zhang Yan said from the side, "Should we get off the field now?"

Manman shook his head, "It's not time yet."

The others were getting impatient waiting, and Zhang Yan said, "Listen to Manman..."

Only then did everyone become quiet.

After a long time, the barbarian army finally appeared... Huo Manman then ordered, "One team on the left, one team on the right, don't miss any one!"

Yes!

The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed down like crazy.

Most of the barbarians were slaughtered in an instant.

The rest could not move forward and could only keep retreating, but behind them was the base camp...these barbarians were attacked from both sides.

In the end, the barbarians could only hide on a small hill and barely resist.

Not long after, the people sent out to pursue came back. They were all smiling and said, "We didn't miss a single one! They're all dead!"

Everyone was extremely excited.

Zhang Yan counted the numbers and said, "Only fifty people died! They were all those who were sent out as bait."

"Five hundred wiped out fifteen hundred, and only sixty died?" someone summed it up.

"Huo Manman! You are great! Great!" Everyone began to celebrate.

Zhang Yan surprisingly did not stop them... and let them mess around on the battlefield.

But at this moment, the besieged barbarians suddenly started a fire. Someone said, "They saw that we killed them all before, so now they would rather die than surrender."

It's alright if you don't surrender...

The key is that these remaining barbarians brought all their baggage and food...

They were all burned.

In other words, although they won a great victory and wiped out the enemy, they... did not get any supplies at all.

Volume 151: The Real Victory

They achieved unprecedented victories, but also unprecedented defeats.

One moment, they were celebrating, the next, everyone looked pale.

What did they come out for?

They came out to steal food, and now... all the food has been burned, and so many people have died.

Where can we find food?

Everyone looked at Huo Manman, as she was the real commander of this operation.

Manman's face was still blushing, but she no longer had the calm look she had before, and her whole body began to tremble.

Zhang Yan quickly said, "It's okay, this is also my fault."

But everyone knew that Zhang Yan didn't issue a single order this time, and it was all Huo Manman who was in charge.

"It's all my fault. I will...will atone for my sins to Lord Daozu." Manman's voice was hoarse.

Not long after, Liu Ji came out with a group of people. He saw the flames and smelled the smell of burning food in the air.

Huo Manman walked to Liu Ji in a very embarrassed manner, knelt down, and said in panic, "Master Daozu... I, I... failed to complete your mission, please kill me."

She was pale before, and now she was even paler, her whole body was pale white.

She was shy before, and now she was even more shy, her whole body was shaking with nervousness.

Zhang Yan wanted to go up and take the blame with her, but several old soldiers grabbed her tightly. They knew exactly who was giving the order... It had nothing to do with Zhang Yan.

Liu Ji looked at Huo Manman, then looked at the rising flames in the distance.

"I told you that no matter what mistakes you make this time, I will pay for them. You didn't want to command alone, but I forced you to do this!"

boom!

Huo Manman touched the ground with his head, his forehead covered in blood.

"But, Master Daozu...I have betrayed your trust." As she said this, she pulled out a dagger and was about to commit suicide!

Liu Ji immediately fought him off, angrily saying, "You want to die after a setback! How can you be a general like this?"

"But...but there is nothing to eat now...I'm sorry to you and everyone." Huo Manman's face was full of tears.

Liu Ji pulled her up, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Is failure painful?"

She gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Then you must remember this pain! I want you to understand... To become a general, you must not only have the determination to win, but also be able to withstand failure. Do you understand?"

Huo Manman nodded, but her breath was extremely weak... It was obvious that she was determined to die.

So many people followed her orders, some even sacrificed themselves, but what did they get in return? Not even a grain of food.

Liu Ji was afraid that she would do something stupid again, so he could only hold her in his arms.

The little girl was hit so hard that she kept hiding in Liu Ji's arms and crying.

"Find me a hundred guys with the best physical strength!" Liu Ji gave the order.

Soon, all the people were found.

Liu Ji pointed in a direction and said, "All of you go here and search thoroughly, especially if you come across caves or cliffs."

"Yes!"

Hundreds of people scattered.
