Chapter 222

Chanyu Modu watched helplessly at the area outside the swamp less than two li away.

He looked at the Xiongnu soldiers behind him, and at that moment, he was truly unwilling!

So unwilling!

Of this fifty-li swamp, they had already charged through forty-eight li!

There were only two li left, but they just couldn't charge through!

Just as those generals said, this weapon was too powerful!

Truly too powerful!

Places where bows and arrows couldn't reach could be hit by artillery!

And the power was so immense!

Every time it spat out fire, it took away dozens of lives!

It was truly too terrifying!

"Retreat!"

He was unwilling, but... no matter how unwilling he was, at this moment, he could only choose to retreat!

Because although there were still 100, 00 people, many of them were wounded, and those with real combat capability were less than 60, 00!

60, 00 people, even if they charged through, what could they do!

There were still an unknown number of people in the swamp!

On the other side of the swamp, there were 10, 00 people waiting!

They had set up bows and arrows and were waiting!

And what was even more terrifying was on the flanks!

There were also Qin troops running out of the swamp to kill them!

"Retreat!"

At that moment, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu shouted in utter despair!

At this very moment, he even regretted listening to Fan Zeng; why did he have to charge in!

But... what Fan Zeng said really made sense!

If you didn't charge in, how could you kill Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao!

If you just let them be, then once Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao recovered, the entire Xiongnu would be finished!

That's right!

Fan Zeng was right!

What was wrong was that the Qin Army was too strong!

Han Xin was too treacherous!

And their weapons were too powerful!

And Li Li Yuanba, Li Li Cunxiao!

"Ah!"

Chanyu Modu shouted in despair again and again!

At this moment, despite having a thousand reluctances and ten thousand unwillingness, he could only order a retreat!

He had to preserve the seeds!

The 200, 00-strong Xiongnu army could not all be lost here!

He had to take some seeds out!

"Retreat!"

He shouted loudly again, turned his horse's head, made the rear army the front army, and began to retreat!

But... the way back was not so easy to walk!

Because the 60, 00 troops that had been lying in ambush in the swamp had all killed their way out!

Not only that, the artillery behind was still chasing, and on both sides, there were many people shooting arrows!

But despite this, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu still led everyone to kill their way back.

They killed their way to less than five li from the exit of the swamp!

However, when they returned, Chanyu Modu looked back, and his heart was almost dead!

50, 00 people!

When they charged in, they lost 100, 00 people!

Among the remaining 100, 00, there were many wounded!

And this time charging out, there were only 50, 00 left!

Moreover, among these 50, 00, everyone was injured!

Those missing arms and legs also accounted for a great many!

Many people had their shoulders and chests pierced with crossbow arrows!

They were all hanging on by a single breath.

Those with real combat capability were less than 30, 00!

"Ah!"

Chanyu Modu roared again!

However, this was not the most desperate part!

The most desperate part was that, suddenly, a roar shook the sky!

Artillery!

Ahead, it was still artillery!

The 5, 00 men brought by Han Xin and the 2, 00 men of Lu Bu and Xu Chu had joined forces!

Both sides had artillery, muskets, and bows and arrows!

Boom, boom, boom!

The earth-shattering cannon fire, fierce shells like raindrops, charged toward Chanyu Modu's last 50, 00 men!

122. Winning the battle and still pleading guilty? Han Xin, you brat have learned to be bad!

"This... this..."

The scene before them truly stunned all the Xiongnu troops!

Likewise, they fell into endless despair!

But even in despair, there was no good way!

Led by Chanyu Modu, all the Xiongnu troops charged toward Han Xin's side!

In the swamp, artillery roared, and the slaughter shook the sky!

The Xiongnu army and the Qin Army fought until blood flowed like a river, and corpses were everywhere!

But, outside the swamp, in the camp!

It was singing and dancing!

Those stunning Xiongnu beauties were wearing extremely revealing clothes, showing off their beautiful legs and arms, and began to dance to the music of the musicians.

Their dance moves were very beautiful.

Ying Su was so captivated that he couldn't take his eyes off them.

But he was still playing chess with Wang Wang Jian, eating barbecue, and then enjoying the incredibly beautiful dance!

This scene left even Wang Wang Jian speechless.

He thought to himself over and over, can't you just focus on one thing?

Either drink, eat meat, and watch the dance properly, or play chess properly.

Why!

Why must you play chess, watch the dance, and eat barbecue and drink all at the same time?

With you like this, how am I supposed to play chess!

Wang Wang Jian thought speechlessly in his heart.

Of course, playing chess with Ying Su was actually a form of torture for Wang Wang Jian!

Mainly because... Ying Su's chess skills were simply too terrible!

Simply rotten to the core!

His chess skills were limited to knowing how to capture and how to win!

He didn't understand anything about cutting, edge territory, corner territory, or fighting for territory!

His technique and strategy were all a pile of dog shit!

He didn't know what a big dragon was, and he didn't know what a ladder was.

But despite such terrible chess skills, Wang Wang Jian didn't dare to win against him!

Why?

Because he is the Emperor!

Not only could he not win, but he couldn't stop playing!

What, you think my chess skills are too bad and don't want to play with me!

He couldn't even let him win too obviously!

Why?

Because even though Ying Su's chess skills were bad, he still understood a little bit!

For example, when he made a slight flaw during a ladder, Ying Su pointed directly at that ladder and said:

"Why didn't you capture my ladder?"

"I..."

This sentence made Wang Wang Jian want to curse!

But... he could only bow respectfully, "This old minister is old and dim-sighted, and did not notice!"

Ying Su shook his head: "That won't do, you must be serious when playing chess, you must accompany me properly!"

After saying this, Ying Su turned his head to watch the beauties dance, and then, took the opportunity to pull a beauty into his arms!

Then, he opened his mouth, and the beauty, under Ying Su's training, was also sensible!

She drank the wine directly, then leaned close to Ying Su and fed him with her fragrant tongue!

The key was... after feeding him, she stuck out her fragrant tongue and teased Ying Su!

Damn it!

There is a war ahead, and the soldiers are fighting bloody battles!

As the Emperor, you are enjoying yourself like this?

This is a proper muddled emperor!

If this were any other emperor, Wang Wang Jian wouldn't dare to curse out loud, but he would have been cursing in his heart!

But this is Ying Su; he doesn't dare to curse out loud, and he won't curse in his heart either!

There are two reasons for this!

First, Ying Su has invested too much in this army, so much that as the Emperor, he has already done everything, and there is no need to do anything to prove it!

The money, supplies, artillery, talent, and fierce generals invested!

All of this has already proven Ying Su's emphasis on this army!

With this emphasis, there is no need to show off like other emperors, playing the "monarch and minister as one" act!

Because... no matter the general or the soldier, Ying Su has already given them what they want!

With huge financial support and high official titles, what soldier or general would not be loyal?

The second reason is... this battle is a sure win!

Not only a sure win, but a great victory!

They could even annihilate the entire enemy army!

Ying Su never doubted this from beginning to end!

Wang Wang Jian was a little worried at first, after all, the enemy had 200, 00 people, an absolute numerical advantage!

But... when Chanyu Modu's army foolishly charged into the swamp, Wang Wang Jian was not worried at all!

And he would not doubt whether this battle could be won!

Are you kidding!

Who is the person commanding the army?

Han Xin!

He had already learned of Han Xin's ability!

If this battle were fought on the plains, Wang Wang Jian might have been wary of the enemy's 200, 00 troops!

But where is this?

A swamp!

In a place like a swamp, even fierce men like Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao would not dare to step foot easily.

200, 00 troops dare to come in?

Seeking death!

This is purely coming to die!

Fighting in such a place, with the premise of having occupied this swamp in advance.

Even if the enemy came with 2 million, 100, 00 troops could still fight them!

This is really no joke!

And besides this terrain advantage, there is also artillery!

What kind of god-like weapon is this artillery!

The Great Qin's longest-range weapons were heavy crossbows and catapults!

But even with heavy crossbows and catapults, they could only shoot at most two li!

But what about artillery?

They could blow people up from ten li away!

And one blast could kill a dozen or even dozens of people!

The key is the explosive shells!

This blast is even more incredible; even if the fragments of the shell don't kill people, they can injure them!

The shrapnel from the explosion can literally cut off a person's arm!

How exaggerated is this!

Warfare emphasizes heaven's timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony!

Occupying one of them gives a 30% chance of winning!

And Han Xin occupied all three.

That is at least a 90% chance of winning!

Moreover, there is an absolute advantage in weapons.

With such a huge advantage, if Han Xin didn't raise the enemy's casualties to half, it would mean he didn't know how to fight!

Even annihilating them completely would not be an exaggeration!

So what is there to worry about!

There is no need to worry at all.

As for Chanyu Modu and Fan Zeng, they had no choice!

Let's put it this way, if they charged into the swamp to fight Han Xin, they would still have a 1% chance of winning!

But if they waited for Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao to recover, and then combined with Han Xin's command, the Xiongnu probably wouldn't even have a 0. % chance of winning!

No way!

It's just that fierce!

What else is there to worry about?

No need!

Absolutely no need!

Just wait here for Han Xin to come and report the results.

It's just... what Wang Wang Jian couldn't figure out was that it was fine for him not to worry or be anxious, after all, he had been leading troops in battle for years.

He understood military affairs too well!

It was normal for him not to worry!

But why was Ying Su not worried!
