Chapter 265

~11 min read 2,157 words

Those Xiongnu troops had long been scared out of their wits.

At this very moment, they only wanted to flee!

But could they escape?

They couldn't!

Within a radius of twenty miles, it was all Han Xin's army!

And every direction had cannons!

No matter where they ran, it was a dead end!

The most fatal thing was behind them!

Li Li Cunxiao had killed his way over!

He was carrying the Yu Wang Su, just like a god of slaughter!

One person, actually cutting off everyone's retreat!

"Kill past!"

"Kill past!"

"Killing past means living, not killing past means dying!"

At this moment, someone shouted!

For the sake of survival, everyone fought hard!

One by one, they charged forward fearlessly, one by one, they charged into the cannon fire fearlessly.

However, they couldn't rush past, they simply couldn't rush past!

Just as they were about to arrive within a hundred paces of Han Xin's army!

Immediately, there were dense crossbow arrows!

The Qin army's arrows were very famous during the Warring States period!

Before arriving at any city, they would first use countless crossbow arrows to wash the ground!

Now, it was brought to the extreme by Han Xin!

Heavy crossbows and bows shot in unison!

Every volley of arrows shot out could take away dense lives!

In that moment, everyone was desperate!

They looked at the army in front of them, then looked at Li Li Cunxiao behind them, and they were all desperate to the extreme!

How could they run like this!

There was really no way to run!

If they wanted to run, they could only charge!

Thus... a suicide squad composed of tens of thousands of people was born!

They were fearless of death and charged directly toward the weak point of Han Xin's army!

The army there was the smallest!

But...

Was a small army really a weak point?

When they charged over, they discovered that there were dense pits everywhere!

As long as they fell in, what greeted them were countless sharp knives and thorns!

At this moment, wails and screams were endless!

Many people were dying miserably!

But... their numbers were large after all, and under the charge of not fearing death, they finally rushed over!

However... having finally rushed to the front of the Qin army!

What greeted them were the firelock soldiers!

Boom, boom, boom!

Firelocks fired one after another!

All the soldiers died miserably!

In the distance, Wang Wang Jian looked at everything on the battlefield!

He was very satisfied with the result of this battle!

But... he didn't dare to be careless!

Because... there were troops that had already rushed to within forty or fifty paces!

Any closer by ten paces, heavy crossbows wouldn't be easy to use, and cannons wouldn't be easy to use!

Only close-quarters combat remained.

Close-quarters combat... meant people would die!

Wang Wang Jian frowned!

But... Han Xin smiled and directly began to wave the flag in his hand:

"Form up!"

He shouted!

Instantly, a military formation composed of three thousand people stood in front of all the Xiongnu soldiers!

And there were thirty such military formations!

Blocking the road for all the Xiongnu soldiers to rush out!

Seeing the military formation, the Xiongnu soldiers were directly bewildered.

They couldn't understand at all what use this formation had!

There were generals who didn't know death and simply didn't care, and just charged in!

However... only after charging into the military formation did they know the horror inside!

Shield soldiers, long-spear soldiers, archers, and war chariots were charging wildly inside the formation!

You simply didn't know when soldiers would kill their way out from behind the shield soldiers!

And you didn't know when arrows would shoot out to kill people!

The heads of all the Xiongnu soldiers were dazed, and the heads of the Xiongnu generals were even more dazed.

In their desperation, they actually began to attack the shield soldiers, wanting to kill people!

But how sturdy were the shields of the shield soldiers?

And where was it so easy to break?

Just as they were attacking the shield soldiers, the formation changed!

Then, crossbow arrows shot in unison, and long spears stabbed.

In less than half an hour, the sixty thousand-plus Xiongnu soldiers who charged into the formation all died!

And inside Han Xin's military formation, not a single person died!

Let alone died, not even one was injured!

This was the huge power of the military formation; without understanding the principles and layout, as long as you charge in, you are looking for death!

It didn't matter how many people came!

In the distance, Wang Wang Jian looked at all this from afar. He was shocked by the power of the military formation, and even more shocked by Han Xin's ability to command battles!

And this military formation!

It was truly terrifying!

This was truly worthy of being the "Soldier Immortal" that Ying Su often talked about!

Such use of soldiers like a ghost, truly worthy of being the "Soldier Immortal"!

He praised endlessly!

At the same time, he looked worriedly at Li Li Yuanba's horse and asked Yao Yue:

"How is it? Can it be cured?"

Yao Yue said: "No problem, it will be fine in two or three days!"

"That's good!"

Wang Wang Jian breathed a long sigh of relief!

If the Ten Thousand Mile Smoke Cloud had died, that would have been a huge loss!

And Li Li Yuanba was angry and bowed to Han Xin: "Let me slaughter them all!"

Han Xin didn't speak, but observed the battlefield!

In front of the Xiongnu soldiers, there were military formations blocking the way, and the Xiongnu soldiers couldn't rush past!

And behind the Xiongnu soldiers, Li Li Cunxiao was slaughtering!

He alone killed over a hundred thousand Xiongnu soldiers until they threw away their armor and fled.

Every time he whirled the Yu Wang Su, a dozen people died!

Such terrifying combat power was truly no worse than Li Li Yuanba!

However... he ultimately didn't have Li Li Yuanba's "perpetual motion machine" attribute!

After fighting for over an hour, he was tired and began to pant lightly!

Continuing to observe on the battlefield for a moment, Han Xin nodded to Li Li Yuanba:

"Go!"

He ordered.

In that moment, Li Li Yuanba didn't talk nonsense and rushed in directly!

Next, it was completely a slaughter moment!

At night!

In Ying Su's tent, at this very moment, Ying Su was eating roast lamb and drinking fine wine.

And beside him, Cao Cao Zhengchun was constantly reporting the battle situation:

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains experts have rushed into Chanyu Modu's army camp, and both sides have begun to slaughter!"

"Your Majesty, General Li Li Yuanba has entered and begun to slaughter!"

"Your Majesty, General Li Li Yuanba fell into a pit, Li Li Cunxiao rescued him, and the two joined forces and are killing the enemy!"

"Your Majesty..."

Battle reports were being reported by Cao Cao Zhengchun one by one.

When Ying Su heard that the Central Plains experts and Chanyu Modu and others were slaughtering, he couldn't help but let out a light laugh!

Learning that the Central Plains experts had defected again and that both sides were going to kill Li Li Yuanba together, instantly, his brows furrowed into a knot, and his murderous aura bloomed!

When he learned that Li Li Yuanba's Ten Thousand Mile Smoke Cloud had an accident, his fists clenched directly!

At this very moment, he was infinitely angry!

And when he received the news that Li Li Yuanba's horse was fine, he breathed a long sigh of relief!

Hearing Han Xin's military formation slaughtering Xiongnu soldiers again, he laughed out loud and couldn't help but praise: "Han Xin, the Soldier Immortal!"

He laughed, and a large mouthful of fine wine went down!

But just as he was happy, suddenly, Cao Cao Zhengchun ran back in a hurry and shouted to Ying Su:

"Great victory!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Great victory!"

"Someone from the front reported that Hulun Pasture has been completely occupied by our army!"

"This battle killed three hundred and ten thousand Xiongnu soldiers! Almost equal to total annihilation of the enemy!"

Hearing this, Ying Su laughed directly, and then couldn't help but think about what would happen if this victory report were sent to Xianyang!

143. Bad, why is the White Tiger not reacting?

In Ying Su's tent!

At this very moment, Ying Su was thinking.

However, just at this time, unknowingly, the sky was completely dark!

At this moment, Chong Xin rushed into the tent quickly and reported to Ying Su: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"General Han Xin and General Wang Wang Jian, they are back!"

He said excitedly.

And once these words were spoken, Ying Su didn't delay and walked out of the tent directly!

He was going to welcome the two of them personally!

However... the moment he walked out of the tent, the two of them actually knelt on the ground with a thud!

"Your Majesty! Your subject Wang Wang Jian is guilty!"

"Your Majesty! Your subject Han Xin is guilty!"

"Hmm?"

Once these words were spoken, Ying Su's brows furrowed deeply. He looked behind the two, but didn't find Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao!

In an instant, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and instantly, his face was gloomy: "Did Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao have an accident?"

"Uh... no!"

Wang Wang Jian waved his hand quickly!

Ying Su's brows furrowed again: "Then is it Lu Da, Lu Bu, Yao Yue, or perhaps Qiao Feng who had an accident?"

Han Xin bowed immediately: "All generals are fine. In this battle, our army's casualties were less than a hundred!"

"Yo!"

Ying Su laughed in anger. He didn't help Wang Wang Jian up, nor did he help Han Xin up, but walked around the two of them, looked them over, and asked with a humming voice:

"One hundred thousand people fought three hundred and thirty thousand and won, and then... you only paid a casualty of less than a hundred!"

"And then... you come to me to plead guilty?"

"Come, tell me, where is your guilt?"

"Or is it... in your eyes, I am a muddled ruler? Can't even tell right from wrong?"

Ying Su asked, at this very moment, feeling both angry and amused!

He didn't know if his father, Ying Zheng, liked this kind of approach!

But he really couldn't stand this posture of clearly having great merit but coming to plead guilty.

Wang Wang Jian was like this, he could barely accept it!

The old fox had deep thoughts, fearing that his merit would overshadow the master and cause the Emperor's suspicion. This could be understood!

But Han Xin?

What a simple person!

He had no interest in political struggles at all!

But now he had been corrupted by this old Wang Wang Jian!

Since he arrived at Hulun Pasture, Han Xin had done many, many things, but he hadn't seen Han Xin ask for merit even once. Every time, this kid Han Xin was looking for him to plead guilty!

"Speak! If you can't come up with one, two, or three today, I will definitely punish you today!"

Ying Su said, sitting cross-legged in front of the two, his eyes staring straight at them!

Wang Wang Jian was scared to death. At that moment, he was trembling all over. How could he not hear the meaning in Ying Su's words, that there was a component of beating him?

At this very moment, he felt terrified!

And Han Xin sighed: "Chanyu Modu ran away!"

"Not only did Chanyu Modu run away, but Xiang Yu, Fan Ju, the Leader, Wei Zhuang, Ge Nie, and the Nameless Swordsman, and many, many others all ran away!"

"Although this battle was won, but... not a single key figure was captured or killed!"

Han Xin sighed!

Wang Wang Jian added: "It is precisely because of this that we came to plead guilty!"

"Oh! So that's how it is!"

Ying Su nodded, but still helped the two up and laughed loudly:

"What does this count as? Just some small fry, let them run. Killing all the Xiongnu soldiers under them, leaving a bare commander, can he still turn the sky?"

"Besides, this battle is not the decisive battle. Before long, we still have to go to the snow mountain side to fight the final decisive battle!"

"Isn't that right?"

Ying Su said with a smile, not worried about these things at all.

However, Han Xin sighed lightly:

"If we could capture Chanyu Modu alive, Your Majesty could escort him back to the palace. Such a huge military merit could shock the whole world, and Your Majesty wouldn't have to suffer and be tired on the grasslands with us!"

At this very moment, Han Xin said.

And once these words were spoken, Ying Su was stunned!
