Chapter 259

"In this way, we can annihilate Chanyu Modu's army!"

Han Xin said, took out a copper pot, looked at it for a moment, and said: "It's almost the first watch now, you all rest for a while, depart at the fourth watch!"

This was filled with sand!

Whenever the sand inside leaked out, an hour had passed!

This was a copper pot timer commonly used by the ancients!

Originally, this should have been filled with water.

But because it was winter, water was too easily frozen, so Han Xin filled it with sand!

Using sand to record the time!

And Xiaoyaotzi and the others looked at the copper pot and all nodded: "Good!"

"You continue to lie in ambush here, Li Xuanba, let's go!"

Han Xin gave instructions and took Li Li Yuanba away directly!

And the remaining two thousand-plus Central Plains experts looked at the copper pot while watching Han Xin, who had already left!

Some of them felt a bit panicked!

"Why do I always have a bad premonition?"

"Ying Su... is he really going to let us go?"

Xiaoyaotzi frowned: "Why do you say that?"

Zhong Yu said: "During the day, when we went to see Ying Su, Fan Kuai said there was a battle. Listening to his report, it seemed very urgent!"

"But... we arrived here, and it's extremely quiet, why is that?"

"And why do we have to be the vanguard?"

He frowned as he spoke.

And regarding this matter, everyone couldn't understand!

Xiaoyaotzi also shook his head; he didn't understand either, but he waved his hand: "Don't think so much. Ying Su is the Emperor, after all. Since he said with his own mouth that he would let us go, he will definitely let us go!"

"And, although we are the vanguard, don't we still have Li Li Yuanba?"

"You might not know, but when the Qin army fights, it relies almost entirely on Li Li Yuanba. The Qin army is responsible for surrounding, and Li Li Yuanba is responsible for the slaughter!"

"This time, it's the same!"

"Besides, even if there is something wrong, we don't need to panic!"

"You must know, with so many of us, no matter which side it is, we are a huge fighting force!"

"If Ying Su plays tricks on us, we can immediately return to Chanyu Modu's side and follow Chanyu Modu to kill Ying Su!"

He said.

The others heard this and all nodded, thinking it made sense!

Xiaoyaotzi continued: "However... we cannot slack off just because of suspicion. In this battle, we need to perform well. If we perform well, perhaps Ying Su will even give us rewards!"

"In that way, not only can we clear our names of treason, but we can also become heroes who defeated the Xiongnu. If we capture Chanyu Modu alive, we can even become the number one hero, respected by all under heaven!"

He said.

And once these words were spoken, everyone was instantly boiling!

People in the martial arts world might not value money that much, and they might not value power that much, but they value their reputation very much!

The beautiful name of defeating the Xiongnu already made everyone's eyes shine.

Not to mention capturing Chanyu Modu alive and becoming the number one hero?

That would truly be gaining both fame and fortune!

"Perform well. If we can capture Xiang Yu, Fan Ju, and Chanyu Modu all alive, then according to what Ying Su said before, we can receive the title of Marquis within the Pass!"

"Marquis within the Pass!"

In that instant, everyone's eyes shone!

Everyone was also looking forward to it!

And on the other side!

In the dark night, Han Xin's army was moving!

But... this movement was not discovered by any Xiongnu sentry!

Why?

Because... no one was carrying torches!

A full sixty thousand troops were marching in the dark!

This was exactly Han Xin's arrangement!

Although he couldn't fight in the dark night!

But... before dawn, it was possible to have the army lie in ambush twenty miles away from Chanyu Modu's camp!

When the sky brightened, Li Li Yuanba and the group of experts as the vanguard would directly stir up Chanyu Modu's camp!

When they reacted and wanted to escape, that would be the opportunity for the army to directly start the battle!

Use artillery to catch Chanyu Modu off guard!

Likewise, this arrangement was also something Fan Ju did not expect.

He did not expect Han Xin to make such an arrangement!

He even less expected that more than two thousand experts would actually defect to Ying Su and turn around to fight them!

And under such an arrangement!

At the third watch, all troops arrived thirty miles away!

At the fourth watch, Li Li Yuanba arrived at Xiaoyaotzi's side, and they set off!

At the fifth watch, Li Li Yuanba and Xiaoyaotzi and the group of experts had already arrived ten miles away from the camp!

This was the gathering place for the patrolling soldiers of Chanyu Modu's army camp!

But because the weather was cold, almost everyone was huddling around fire pits to keep warm, so no one discovered Xiaoyaotzi and the others!

When it reached the sixth watch, there was just a tiny bit of light on the horizon!

Xiaoyaotzi waved his hand, and instantly, dozens of experts, like civet cats, arrived in front of the patrolling soldiers without making a sound!

Their movements were skilled; one hand covered the mouth, the other cut the throat. By the time the group of patrolling soldiers in front of them were dead, not a single one had made a sound!

Following the same method, by the time they arrived five miles away from the camp, still not a single patrolling soldier had discovered them!

Just like that, they arrived three miles away from the camp, still without being discovered!

However... just as they sneaked to within two miles, someone finally discovered them.

A Xiongnu soldier who came out of a tent, yawning while urinating, suddenly saw the scene of them cutting the throats of Xiongnu soldiers!

This scene terrified him, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Who is it, what are you doing!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

He shouted loudly!

This instantly startled everyone!

In that moment, dense ranks of Xiongnu soldiers ran out of the tents!

And countless Central Plains experts ran out of the barracks!

Fan Ju and Chanyu Modu, who hadn't slept all night, were also given a huge fright by this roar!

The two of them, who were still drowsy, instantly woke up!

They didn't have any delay and ran outside the camp immediately!

And at a glance, they saw the scene of chaotic battle!

More than two thousand people were slaughtering Xiongnu soldiers like pigs, each one of them brave and fierce!

Each one of them was fierce to the extreme!

"Who!"

"Who!"

"Who is this!"

Chanyu Modu was stunned!

Fan Ju also pointed at a figure in the distance in disbelief: "He... is he... a person of the Daoist school?"

"He... is he a Confucian expert?"

"And him... Li Ming!"
