Chapter 575 Kou Kewang
The Wu and Shu offensive came and went quickly. After the much-hyped but little-rewarded offensive ended, the camp soon returned to its peaceful state.

After the turmoil was over, the Yellow Turban soldiers remained calm enough and continued to re-arrange the defense of the camp under the command of their general. The troops on duty to deal with emergencies tonight also returned to the camp to rest, and everything returned to normal.

Wu and Shu's night attack couldn't even scare the new recruits in the Yellow Turban camp. Their intentions of attack were too obvious and were seen through at a glance. Even a fool knew that Wu and Shu were not really going to fight, but were just harassing them.

Of course, even harassment is not useless. Soldiers also need to rest. Wu and Shu can use the cover of darkness and relatively small forces to create momentum and force the Yellow Turban army to defend, which makes it difficult for the Yellow Turban soldiers to rest peacefully.

If the Yellow Turban soldiers were harassed several times like this every night, they would be tense and unable to sleep, and their mental state would naturally plummet. Then the battle between Wu and Shu would be much easier during the day.

This plan is great, but the reality is rather ordinary.

In reality, night attacks didn't seem to have much effect. Until they withdrew, the Yellow Turban camp was actually still very stable.

From beginning to end, it was only the 20,000 rotating garrison troops of the Yellow Turbans who responded to the night attack. The main force of the army was still lying peacefully in the military tents resting. Even if they were alarmed by the noise, they were only alarmed. After the noise subsided, they turned over and continued to sleep.

This is also the reason why Xu Chen did not take this night attack too seriously, because the Yellow Turbans had already prepared a plan for this kind of thing, and it would not have any major impact on the Yellow Turban camp.

Zhou Tai did not retreat after one attack. He launched several small-scale attacks that night, still trying hard to complete his plan of tiring the enemy.

Sometimes he would not even actually rush forward to engage in battle, but would just rush in with his troops and retreat immediately before reaching the camp. His feint attack plan was just a feint and no attack was made, simply relying on the momentum to scare the Yellow Turbans.

Zhou Tai actually had no idea how useful the commotion that night was. All he could see was that every time he charged, the Yellow Turbans would react quickly. As for whether the entire army had been mobilized, he could not see it. If so, then his plan would have been a success.

Precisely because he didn't know the effect, he was happy to send troops to harass the enemy all the time, and only when it was dawn did he withdraw his troops back to the rear camp.

In the early morning, Xu Chen woke up again to the sound of the camp assembly whistle. From his sleepy state, it can be seen that he did not seem to sleep well that night.

This is indeed the case. After the noise Zhou Tai made last night, it is not known whether the soldiers generally got a good rest, but Xu Chen certainly did not get a good rest. Even though no one would worry about Wu Shu's attack, the noise and commotion caused by the harassment could definitely disturb their sleep.

At this time, cooking had already started in the camp, and steam could be seen everywhere. Led by the officers, the soldiers began to eat one after another.

Although the food supply of the Yellow Turbans was not very good, it was not bad either. At least it was far superior to that of Wu and Shu. This was also due to the fact that the Yellow Turbans had always focused on military needs in their construction.

For Xuan Xia now, being a soldier must be a career that everyone aspires to. Not only does one have enough pay, but there are also adequate security benefits. One can fight in wars with strong armor and sharp weapons, and eat as much as one can.

If we leave aside the spiritual aspects such as faith and system, material conditions are the biggest prerequisite for the army's combat effectiveness. If the soldiers can be well fed, well equipped and adequately paid, then the army's combat effectiveness will be good enough to reach an excellent level.

Before the goal of unifying China was achieved, military affairs were Xuanxia's biggest concern, and the area where Xuanxia's resources were most heavily invested. This is why the Yellow Turbans' combat power is legendary. Just a glance, the soldiers who were eating were full of energy, talking and laughing, and each of them was in good shape. Their physical condition alone was enough to crush the Wu and Shu armies. Once they put on their armor and went to the battlefield, how could the Wu and Shu soldiers not despair?

After observing the army's situation for a while, Xu Chen felt a little more relieved. It seemed that the soldiers had adapted to the battlefield much better than himself. Even though there were frequent movements last night, the soldiers were not affected. After a night, everyone looked in good spirits, which must be because they had a good rest.

As long as the enemy's night attack is not serious, the main force of the barracks does not need to be awakened to go into battle. Just a little noise is not enough to disturb them.

The soldiers were indeed very calm, and were now gathering in groups of three or four to eat. Occasionally, one could hear them talking about last night's raid, but most of them were just joking, and no one seemed to be scared.

Xu Chen walked towards the platform in the central camp. Not long after he sat down, he saw Wang Dang coming over and then stuffed something in his hand into Xu Chen's hand.

"Today's buns are good, with big fillings and thin skins. I feel very satisfied after swallowing a few. I have to eat them while they are still hot!"

Xu Chen looked down and saw a few hot buns wrapped in a piece of paper. He smiled and picked them up to eat. The soft texture of the pasta combined with the aroma of the vegetable filling immediately aroused his appetite.

Thanks to the advancement of grinding technology, pasta accounts for an increasingly large proportion of Xuanxia diet, and it tastes almost the same as in later generations.

Although the filling is made of vegetables and there is not even any meat, the taste is still good.

Nowadays, Xuanxia's productivity is growing day by day, but in fact the material level is still very low. It is only a great improvement compared to the old times that people can have enough food to eat and clothes to wear. If we want to reach the level of later generations, there is still a long way to go.

Nowadays, it is quite difficult to eat hot vegetable buns during wartime.

At this time, Lu Ping, Ju Shou, Zhao Yun and others also came over one after another. After everyone gathered, Xu Chen started chatting while eating buns.

"The enemy's attack last night was intended to tire out our army. If that's the case, I'm afraid they won't stop for just one night. I think they'll use the same trick again tonight. Although this trick is unlikely to work, I think we can't take it lightly."

Xu Chen finished the buns in his hand as he watched the soldiers changing shifts in the camp.

Lu Ping and others were also chewing buns, and they all started to think about what he said.

Ju Su stepped forward and said in agreement: "My lord is wise. Even if the enemy's harassment plan is not very harmful, our soldiers will not be able to sleep well if it happens every night. We should definitely respond."

Xu Chen nodded and said, "As the saying goes, if the enemy goes where I go, I can go too. I think it's better to fight back!"
