Chapter 1267: Successive setbacks, shifting targets

Prince Modu looked at the battlefield with a livid face.

It was too difficult for the Xiongnu army to win this battle.

If the cavalry charge had not been contained, they could have exhausted quite a few Qin soldiers.

The advantage of the cavalry had been suppressed by the Qin arrows.

Without the ability to charge, the power of the cavalry was greatly weakened.

However, the impact of the Qin cavalry had indeed caused them major losses.

The arrow attacks and the cavalry charges had caused the Xiongnu army to suffer heavy losses.

It had always been their cavalry charging others.

Now, the positions of the charge had been swapped, and they had become the targets being charged.

It would be a lie to say they didn't feel distressed being charged by the Qin cavalry.

"Chanyu, we cannot get close to the Qin commander."

"We have sent two teams of men in succession, but neither could get close to them."

"Their commander has too many guards."

"Why don't we change our target elsewhere?"

A general rode his horse to Prince Modu's side.

At this moment, the generals were somewhat low in morale.

After all, if there was no suspense in this battle, the Xiongnu would surely lose.

Unless a miracle occurred, they could not turn the tide of the battle.

Otherwise, it was too difficult to win this battle.

After all, they had lost the initiative from the very beginning.

Lacking long-range attack weapons had become their disadvantage.

The cavalry failing to play its role made things even worse.

"Change target? Then tell me, where should I change the target to?"

Prince Modu's face also looked somewhat unpleasant.

This battle had far exceeded his expectations.

Originally, fighting the Qin people shouldn't have been this difficult.

But for some reason, it suddenly became so difficult.

This made him somewhat unable to accept it.

After all, under his leadership, the Xiongnu had become many times stronger than under his father, Chanyu Touman.

The army size was also approaching one million.

Yet now, they were still no match for the Qin people; this made him doubt life itself.

This situation was somewhat strange.

"This..."

The general was speechless; he had only suggested changing the target of attack.

After all, the commander of an army was not so easy to kill.

Sending soldiers to attack repeatedly had been of no use.

Facts proved that there were countless soldiers guarding the commander.

Just like here, it was impossible for Qin soldiers to get close to this place.

After all, there were tens of thousands of soldiers here protecting the Chanyu's safety.

But this general also did not know what target would be better to change to.

He was just making a suggestion.

"If you have no target, then don't speak."

Prince Modu gave the general a nasty look.

He was already annoyed enough as it was.

The general dared not speak anymore.

Anyone could see that Prince Modu was in a very bad mood.

Now, being suppressed by the Qin people, this battle might end in failure.

If he could still be in a good mood under these circumstances, then it would be a miracle.

"Report!"

A soldier rode his horse over quickly.

Prince Modu looked at this small soldier with a sinister gaze.

"I hope you can give me some good news."

"Speak, what is it?"

Prince Modu looked at the soldier with suspicion.

If it weren't for the fact that they were currently at war with the Qin people,

he really wanted to vent the anger in his heart.

He had never expected this kind of situation.

If he could not break this deadlock, failure was likely already a foregone conclusion.

"Chanyu, someone below reported just now that they heard news of the Great Qin Crown Prince on the battlefield."

"It is possible that the Great Qin Crown Prince has also come to the battlefield."

"If this news is true, it is good news for us."

"Can we find an opportunity to capture the Great Qin Crown Prince?"

The soldier quickly repeated what he had heard on the battlefield just now.

Upon hearing this news, Prince Modu was immediately surprised.

If this news were true,

whether they could change the current situation—the breakthrough point might lie with the Great Qin Crown Prince.

The Great Qin Crown Prince appearing on the battlefield was truly rare.

If they could capture him, wouldn't they be able to change the tide of the battle immediately?

He had been thinking about how to break the deadlock.

If they captured the Great Qin Crown Prince, the result would definitely not be what they were seeing now.

"Is this news accurate?"

"In which direction is the Great Qin Crown Prince?"

Prince Modu looked at the messenger soldier.

A glimmer of heat erupted in his eyes.

This could be considered good news.

If they could grasp it,

changing the tide of the battle would not be a big problem.

"Chanyu, this lowly one is not sure if it is true."

"I only know it is in that direction."

As the soldier spoke, he reached out and pointed to a location.

Prince Modu looked over immediately.

The soldier might not have seen the Great Qin Crown Prince before,

but he had seen the Great Qin Crown Prince. ===== CHAPTER 1269 =====
