Chapter 730

~5 min read 870 words

Although he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

But after two consecutive scouting missions, there were no problems.

Perhaps he really had overthought it.

He couldn't help but doubt himself.

"I lost an arm here; did I really lose my courage here too?"

Maoshi shook his head slowly, no longer wanting to think about it.

They had launched a surprise raid, and the Qin people didn't know at all.

If they had known, then an ambush inside would make sense.

Now, he could only doubt himself.

"Move quickly, save the people and come out immediately."

"Time is precious, do not linger!"

Maoshi issued the order, letting the army advance.

The other generals looked at Maoshi speechlessly.

Time is precious?

Do not linger?

But hadn't all this time been wasted by himself?

But since things had come to this, there wasn't much to say.

Tens of thousands of cavalry charged into the gap of the Great Wall.

After they had all charged into the Great Wall,

on the Great Wall, Meng Tian and the others stood up.

"This Maoshi has truly become countless times more vigilant than before."

"I thought they wouldn't enter."

"Hehehe, who would have thought they would finally enter; it wasn't easy!"

"We were almost about to send troops to flank them and drive them in."

Seeing that Maoshi and his men had all entered the Great Wall, Han Xin and the others laughed from ear to ear.

They had set a trap inside, just waiting for them to enter.

Maoshi and his men thought no one had discovered their arrival.

But little did they know that their every move had long been monitored.

"Pass the order down, prepare to close the net!"

Meng Tian also wore a smile.

Since they entered voluntarily, there was no need to send troops to drive them in.

It saved quite a bit of trouble.

"Understood!"

Han Xin, Vice General Zhao, and the others left quickly.

After waiting for so long, the time for the harvest had finally arrived.

Inside the Great Wall.

At this moment, in the prisoner camp.

It was unusually quiet.

It wasn't that there was no one here.

On the contrary, there were many people here, and some were constantly untying ropes.

But they were all very quiet, very tacit, and did not make any loud noises.

They all knew this was a rare opportunity to escape.

If they made a loud noise now, it would be a big problem if they attracted the Qin army.

Before long, Maoshi finally arrived with the main force.

When they saw so many Xiongnu sitting in front,

they were also quite surprised.

They hadn't expected all the Xiongnu to be gathered here.

And everyone was tied up with ropes.

The person who went back to report earlier hadn't lied.

By the faint starlight and firelight, one could see dense shadows of people in front.

It was no exaggeration to say they were countless.

After all, it was night, and one couldn't see far.

"Are these Qin people foolish?"

"Gathering so many people here, and the guards are only a few thousand."

"Even if they are tied up, they should have left more people to guard them."

"Isn't it good to have fewer guards?"

"This way we can save people and get out faster."

The Xiongnu generals whispered.

At the same time, they ordered men to enter the field and untie the ropes.

There were too many people; if they didn't all go out, they wouldn't know when it would end.

Maoshi did not move, but sat on his horse, secretly vigilant.

At the same time, he sized up the situation around him.

Although it was pitch black, he could still see a little.

He noticed that not far away, many Great Qin soldiers were lying down.

They didn't look like they were asleep, but rather unconscious.

"What's going on with those people?"

Maoshi couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious.

"Your Highness, those people were drugged by us."

"It's impossible for them to wake up in a short time."

A Xiongnu soldier explained to Maoshi.

"Everyone was drugged?"

"How did you manage that?"

Maoshi was even more suspicious.

There were at least several thousand Qin soldiers; could a thousand people drug several thousand?

No matter how he thought about it, it felt unreliable.

"Your Highness, it's like this."

"We carried some sleeping powder, opened it upwind, and as the wind blew, they smelled it and fainted."

Maoshi nodded, indicating he understood.

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt.

This was an open area; could sleeping powder drug so many people?

There would at least be one or two who missed it, right?

And the noise here wasn't loud, but it definitely wasn't quiet, because there were too many people.

Yet there wasn't a single Qin soldier around.

This made him feel strange; he still felt something was wrong.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

The other generals looked at Maoshi.

Had his paranoia kicked in again?

Otherwise, why was his brow furrowed into a knot?

"Nothing, you all go and help save the people."

"Speed it up, and then leave here immediately!" ===== CHAPTER 732 =====
