Chapter 258

"The entire army formation is to wrap inward in a circle!"

"Distribute the one hundred and twenty cannons!"

"Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, you lead twenty thousand men to start from the west!"

"Zhou Bo, Xia Xia Houying, you lead twenty thousand men to start from the east!"

"Cao Can, Lu Da, you lead twenty thousand men to start from the south!"

"Lu Bu, Xu Chu, you lead twenty thousand men to start from the north!"

"Xiaoyaotzi, you lead all the experts to charge straight in from the middle; the goal is to kill all the Central Plains experts and capture Chanyu Modu alive!"

"The rest of you, follow me to bring up the rear!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

In that moment, everyone shouted and bowed while holding their command flags!

And when it was Xiaoyaotzi's turn, he looked at the command flag Han Xin handed over and was stunned: "I... I lead two thousand people to charge straight in from the middle, and... capture Chanyu Modu alive?"

His head was buzzing!

Just hearing this task, he felt it was difficult to the extreme!

Han Xin said: "Don't worry, Li Li Yuanba will be with you!"

"Li Li Yuanba?"

Once these words were spoken, Xiaoyaotzi was greatly excited, and he followed everyone else, took the command flag, and shouted to Han Xin: "Yes!"

"Move out!"

Han Xin shouted, and instantly, everyone went into action!

139. Chanyu Modu's Rage! I've raised a pack of ungrateful wolves!

The vast grasslands, stretching as far as the eye could see!

Hulun Pasture, because of a heavy snow, the entire grassland was covered in snow!

Looking from afar, it was a sheet of white!

Hulun Pasture!

In Chanyu Modu's army camp!

During this time, Chanyu Modu and Fan Ju were both very exhausted!

Both of them were handling various military affairs, encouraging soldiers, and boosting morale!

Only in this way could they seek a glimmer of survival in a win rate of less than one in ten!

In Chanyu Modu's tent!

At this very moment, a group of Xiongnu generals, along with Chanyu Modu and Fan Ju, were all guessing when Han Xin's army would attack!

They had been surrounded for seven days already!

During these seven days, although Han Xin intentionally delayed the speed of advancement, only advancing twenty miles a day!

However... this marshland was only a little over a hundred miles long!

Now, Han Xin's army had long since crossed the marshland!

They were surrounding the outskirts of Hulun Pasture!

Now, the distance between the two sides was already less than a hundred miles!

"Still waiting!"

"The reason Han Xin is delaying the attack now is not because he lacks the certainty of victory, but because he doesn't want to increase casualties in vain!"

"I think he will probably advance to within thirty miles, then slowly launch a probing attack, continuously creating pressure!"

"Wait until the army is within ten miles, then use artillery to bombard, then use the formation to surround, and finally, let Li Li Yuanba come in to slaughter!"

Fan Ju speculated.

This was a very reasonable speculation.

Because only in this way could they maximize the total annihilation!

After the others heard this, they all nodded, thinking it must be so!

However, just as his speculation ended, suddenly, a soldier rushed into the tent to report:

"Chanyu Modu Chanyu! Chanyu Modu Chanyu, it's bad, Han Xin's army is approaching us, judging by their intent, they are going to attack!"

"What?"

"Attacking now?"

Chanyu Modu was shocked and looked at Fan Ju in disbelief.

Fan Ju was equally shocked: "Is he... crazy? Attacking now?"

"His army is still nearly a hundred miles away from our army, how can he attack?"

"Is it a normal advance?"

Fan Ju asked, feeling extremely panicked!

The soldier reported: "Previously, a normal advance would involve carrying tents and not raising flags, but now, flags are raised, and they haven't pulled up camp!"

"Now, Han Xin's army is less than forty miles from our camp!"

"What?"

Once these words were spoken, Fan Ju was terrified.

Almost without any delay, he went straight out of the tent and rode a fast horse out.

Chanyu Modu, the Leader, Master Master Xiaomeng, and a group of Xiongnu generals followed without any delay!

Everyone looked toward the distance.

They wanted to see clearly, but... the sky was already getting dark!

They couldn't see!

They couldn't see anything!

They could only see that there were indeed some firelights in the distance!

"What exactly is going on?"

Chanyu Modu asked.

Fan Ju frowned fiercely and shook his head: "I don't know, but I don't think Han Xin will attack now!"

"At the very least, he won't attack tonight!"

"Why?"

Chanyu Modu asked again.

Fan Ju looked up at the sky: "There is no moon tonight, and Han Xin's goal has always been total annihilation!"

"At night, if it's a chaotic battle, wouldn't that create an opportunity for us to escape?"

"Therefore, the earliest will be tomorrow!"

Chanyu Modu looked up at the firmament and began to nod.

What Fan Ju said indeed made sense!

It's just that... inexplicably, he always had a feeling of panic.

At this moment, he ordered the soldiers to strengthen patrols and monitor closely!

And in fact, Fan Ju was not wrong!

Han Xin indeed did not intend to launch a general offensive tonight.

The reason was just as Fan Ju guessed; a night battle would simply create opportunities for them to escape!

However... not launching a general offensive did not mean Han Xin didn't intend to do other things!

Thirty miles away from Chanyu Modu's camp!

At this very moment, Han Xin, Xiaoyaotzi, and Li Li Yuanba, the three of them, leading over two thousand people, were watching Chanyu Modu's camp from afar in the dark night!

"Your goal for this trip is very simple: capture Chanyu Modu alive!"

"Depart at the fourth watch, arrive at the fifth watch!"

"Now, the nights are long and the days are short, start the operation at the sixth watch!"

"At that time, the sky will be just starting to brighten!"
