Chapter 257

The objective was to lure Fan Zeng into the swamp.

But... this was merely one part!

Afterwards, after careful deduction, Han Xin believed Fan Zeng's desire to kill Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao was so intense that even without a large army blocking the way, he would likely charge in.

Thus, he set up a double insurance!

He sent a fast rider to tell Lu Bu and Xu Chu: if they saw them charging recklessly, then simply do not block them!

Retreat and scatter to both sides, letting their two hundred thousand troops enter the swamp!

Now, seeing them charge in so recklessly, simply, Xu Chu and Lu Bu did not block them at all!

They executed Han Xin's military order, retreating and scattering to both sides!

Allowing Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's army to charge in!

But... once they truly scattered, opening a path for Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's army, suddenly, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu panicked!

Seeing Xiang Yu panicked too!

A swamp!

Once they charged in and encountered an ambush, it would be a situation of nine deaths and one life!

Even Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao themselves would not dare to charge into the swamp!

This army of two hundred thousand...

They were panicked!

In that moment, both of them looked toward Fan Zeng!

Fan Zeng's eyebrows tightened!

Even though his attitude before had been resolute.

But when it truly came to charging into the swamp, he was still afraid, still panicked!

An ambush!

Who knows what kind of ambush this madman Han Xin would have set up here!

Once they charged in, even if not annihilated, the outcome would be that only one in ten survived!

This battle could very well wipe out the entire Xiongnu army's base!

In that moment, he closed his eyes.

After pondering for a long time, he bowed to Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu: "If we want to kill Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, if we want to capture Facing Ying Su alive, this is our only chance!"

"Miss this chance, and do not mention such a thing again, because there will be absolutely no possibility of it!"

"Likewise, this journey is fraught with peril; the possibility of the entire two hundred thousand troops being annihilated is very high! The best outcome is that only one in ten survives!"

"But in the clash of two armies, victory and defeat often hinge on a hair's breadth; likewise, it comes down to the last breath. Even if both sides are severely damaged, as long as we have one more breath than them, we win!"

"As long as we kill Li Yuanba, kill Li Cunxiao, and capture Facing Ying Su alive, even if all twenty thousand troops die, we have won!"

After finishing his words, he bowed to Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu!

At this very moment, he made no decision!

Because, concerning the life and death of the two hundred thousand Xiongnu troops, only Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu could make such a decision.

And hearing Fan Zeng's words, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu took a deep breath, a deep breath!

At this very moment, he felt some regret, regretting not retreating and leaving this grassland earlier.

If he had retreated early, why would he have fallen into such a predicament!

But... it is too late to say anything now.

Now that it has come to this, even if it is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, we must charge through.

Otherwise, there is no way to survive!

"Charge!"

"Kill!"

"At this moment, there is nothing more to say!"

"If I do not kill Facing Ying Su, do not kill Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, they will slaughter all the Xiongnu people!"

"Kill!"

He shouted, and charged straight in!

"I..."

Fan Zeng opened his mouth; he wanted to say something!

But with Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu leading the way, Seeing Xiang Yu, and countless Xiongnu generals, along with countless Central Plains experts, they all followed without hesitation and charged in!

The leaders have already charged in!

Then the remaining people naturally had nothing to say!

In the blink of an eye, the two hundred thousand troops, in a mighty procession, all charged into the swamp!

However, just as they had charged in.

Suddenly, outside the swamp, Lu Bu and Xu Chu, who had just scattered, each leading five thousand men, surrounded and blocked the swamp's exit!

If it were merely this, then so be it!

The key is... shortly after they blocked the swamp's exit, suddenly, not far away, Han Xin led five thousand men slowly approaching from the distance!

And seeing these five thousand men, Lu Bu and Xu Chu were first stunned for a moment.

Then, their whole bodies trembled! Their entire beings went numb with fear!

Because... they saw it!

They saw the weapons carried by Han Xin's five thousand men!

Cannons!

Every two horses pulled a cannon, and they simply appeared on the outskirts of the swamp!

And there were fully fifty such cannons!

Besides the cannons, there were also musketeers!

Lu Bu and Xu Chu had seen all these weapons before!

Of course, not in the Three Kingdoms.

But here, with Facing Ying Su.

Not only had they seen them, but they also knew their immense power!

Who would have thought... Han Xin actually brought these things along!

It seems this battle is truly intended to annihilate them all!

At that moment, everyone's scalp went numb!

Yet, who else made people's scalps go numb besides them?

Right outside Facing Ying Su's tent!

At this moment, an army of about ten thousand people, just like Han Xin, were doing the same thing!

Cannon after cannon was simply displayed at the swamp's exit!

And the number of cannons here was even greater, reaching a full eight thousand!

In addition, there were five hundred musketeers!

These were almost all of Facing Ying Su's assets.

And when Han Xin set out on his campaign, Facing Ying Su handed them all over to Han Xin without holding anything back!

But... for two months of fighting the Xiongnu, they had not been used at all!

Why?

Because... Han Xin felt these things were more suitable for positional siege warfare!

And since entering Xiongnu territory to fight, where was there any chance to wage positional siege warfare!

It was all the great army encircling, then Li Yuanba slaughtering wildly; there was simply no opportunity to use the cannons!

And Han Xin had truly gone all out!

He directly pulled all these cannons up!

Fully over a thousand cannonballs were also distributed!

This was unavoidable!

Fan Zeng was under pressure; do you think Han Xin's pressure was any less?

Even if Fan Zeng was under great pressure, it was Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's Xiongnu soldiers who died; when Fan Zeng ordered that group to die, Fan Zeng felt not the slightest pain!
