Chapter 295

~11 min read 2,011 words

And today, finally back!

And he definitely didn't live up to Ying Su's expectations this time!

At the very least, he brought back everything he wanted!

And when these things were all applied to Great Qin, then... Great Qin would inevitably be strong!

At this very moment, Zheng He clenched his fists fiercely!

On the Xiongnu battlefield!

Great Snow Mountain!

At this very moment, the battle was still continuing!

No!

It couldn't be called a battle!

It should be called a massacre!

It was indeed a one-sided massacre!

On top of the Snow Mountain, at least twelve thousand snowballs and stones were rolling down continuously!

Below the Snow Mountain, at least thirty thousand Qin soldiers were drawing bows and arrows, or shooting with heavy crossbows!

On the left were two thousand people led by Li Li Cunxiao blocking the road!

On the right were two thousand people led by Li Li Yuanba blocking the road!

Four-sided troops, all slaughtering!

Whether it was the army, or the old, young, women, or tribal leaders!

As long as they were Xiongnu, kill them all!

Leave no survivors!

And under such slaughter, almost everyone was desperate!

Almost everyone was crying!

Likewise, many Xiongnu began to explode with blood!

They didn't want to wait for death here!

So, they rushed out and took the initiative to find the Qin Army for a decisive battle!

But... how should I put it?

Useless!

Just as they rushed down, Li Li Yuanba rode the Ten Thousand Mile Cloud Chaser and rushed over!

Cooperating with the army, they slaughtered them all!

At this moment, more Xiongnu troops were desperate!

Even Chanyu Modu, looking at the dense corpses on the ground, felt panic and fear!

Not afraid of death!

But afraid... that the Xiongnu would really be extinct!

He kept looking at Fan Zeng, asking him what to do, and how to escape!

Fan Zeng's head was dizzy, and at this very moment, he couldn't help but say:

"Perhaps... we shouldn't have come to the Snow Mountain at all!"

"Ah?"

Once these words were spoken, Chanyu Modu's head buzzed!

Yes!

They shouldn't have come to the Snow Mountain!

They should have entered the desert!

However... there was no food or drink in the desert, and even if they entered the desert, there was no destination!

"Phew..."

Chanyu Modu took a deep breath. At this very moment, he didn't want to say these things anymore. He looked at Fan Zeng, just wanting Fan Zeng to think of a way to lead the Xiongnu to break through and escape!

However, Fan Zeng shook his head!

Shook his head constantly!

Shook his head time and time again!

At this very moment, he didn't have a single trick!

Why?

Because, to escape the grassland, the only way to live was to climb over the Snow Mountain!

But what was on top of the Snow Mountain?

That was a constant stream of snowballs and giant stones!

Climbing the mountain was already difficult, climbing the Snow Mountain was even more difficult!

Even without anyone blocking, it would take at least a month for millions of people to cross the Snow Mountain!

Someone blocking?

Impossible!

Under the rolling of snowballs and giant stones!

Not to mention the army couldn't rush up, even those Central Plains experts, whose martial arts were very high, found it difficult to climb up!

Then rush down?

Still no!

Below is the front of the Qin Army!

Left?

Right?

Detour?

Still no!

One Li Li Cunxiao, one Li Li Yuanba, which one of these is easy to provoke!

Whoever dares to break through from their side is looking for death!

Moreover, even if you are looking for death, you might not be able to rush through!

"Find twenty thousand warriors who are not afraid of death, go down and fight with the Qin Army!"

"We will break through a passage there, and then climb the mountain from the other side!"

"Then, let the Central Plains experts try everything to go up, let them kill the Qin Army above!"

"Let the Xiongnu civilians and us wait here; whichever side can break through, we will escape to that side!"

Chanyu Modu shouted, this was the last method he thought of!

However, when these words were spoken, Fan Zeng was extremely shocked!

"Let twenty thousand people rush down?"

"Rushing down is not looking for death?"

"Climbing the Snow Mountain is not easy, you think going down the Snow Mountain is easy?"

Fan Zeng shouted!

Yes!

Just now, it wasn't that no one wanted to rush down and fight the Qin Army!

But... this is the Snow Mountain!

It's too slippery!

Often, people hadn't rushed to the Qin Army before they fell!

The people in front fell, and the people behind followed and tripped!

By the time they reached the Qin Army, almost everyone was lying on the ground!

Thousands, or even tens of thousands of people rolled down from the Snow Mountain like that!

Before the Qin Army killed them, they were knocked to death or banged to death by the stones along the way!

By the time they reached the Qin Army, they had no fighting power at all!

They could only become lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

Chanyu Modu naturally knew that this method was not very good, but at this moment, he could only shout angrily at Fan Zeng: "What can we do?"

"What else can we do!"

"I cannot just watch all my Xiongnu people be slaughtered by this bunch of inhumane beasts!"

"Look at them, they intend to wipe out every single one of my Xiongnu people!"

"They won't even spare infants still in their swaddling clothes!"

Chanyu Modu shouted, his heart filled with both fury and rage at this very moment!

Fan Zeng, however, frowned!

He looked at Chanyu Modu for a while and could not help but sigh:

"If only we hadn't been in such a rush to climb the snowy mountains, or if we could have left a detachment of troops behind to intercept them before we climbed!"

"Everything was too rushed!"

He said.

But... as soon as these words left his mouth, he shook his head again!

Intercept?

What use would interception be?

How many troops would it take to stop Li Li Yuanba!

For every person who blocked the road, another would die!

He sighed incessantly!

At the same time, he could not help but marvel at how truly formidable Han Xin was!

His arrangements were truly devious!

Moreover, to this day, he still did not understand how Han Xin had managed to reach the foot of the snowy mountains so quickly!

And to have ambushed a thousand men there months in advance—it was simply masterful!

Do not let the small number of one thousand men fool you!

But those one thousand men were enough to cut off the only path of survival for over three million Xiongnu!

At this moment, even Fan Zeng was nearly at his wit's end!

He had always refused to submit to Han Xin before!

But now, he had no choice but to submit!

This man truly used troops like a ghost!

He sighed again and again!

But he also knew that sighing was useless!

After pondering for a long time, he said to Chanyu Modu: "Sending two hundred thousand men down is useless!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

"How many?"

Chanyu Modu swallowed hard!

Fan Zeng said: "Do not expect these five hundred thousand to survive; they must all die!"

"You..."

Chanyu Modu was shocked to the extreme!

Fan Zeng said:

"Han Xin's army is too small, numbering only one hundred thousand!"

"Even if these five hundred thousand just stood in front of them to be slaughtered, it would take some time!"

"No matter how good Li Li Yuanba is at fighting, he still needs time to kill!"

"We must use the lives of these five hundred thousand to buy two hours of time—two hours to let everyone who can escape, escape!"

"Additionally, as for those Central Plains experts, it is too difficult and unrealistic to have them charge the Qin Army; it would be better to have people like Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie circle to the rear of the Qin Army and find a way to kill Ying Su, Han Xin, and Wang Wang Jian!"

"If we can kill them, we might still win!"

Fan Zeng said!

And as soon as these words were spoken, Chanyu Modu's eyes lit up instantly!

He could not help but slap Fan Zeng's thigh hard: "Let it be so!"

He shouted, and immediately began to organize the army!

And in truth, everything happened just as Fan Zeng had predicted!

These five hundred thousand were truly being sent to their deaths!

Moreover, even without Li Li Yuanba and Li Li Cunxiao taking action!

Just the five hundred thousand rushing down the mountain—tripping, trampling, and rolling—had already caused massive casualties!

Add to that the Qin Army's crossbow fire and the like!

By the time they actually reached the Qin Army, over one hundred thousand had already been lost!

But Fan Zeng was right; even if these five hundred thousand just stood before Han Xin's one hundred thousand to be slaughtered, it would take time.

Even if Li Li Yuanba came over, it would still take time to kill them all!

In fact, these five hundred thousand did indeed block Han Xin's army and hold back Li Li Yuanba!

And during this process, countless people began to flee for their lives!

But... Fan Zeng had ultimately underestimated Han Xin!

From beginning to end, Han Xin remembered Ying Su's order: not to defeat the Xiongnu, but to exterminate them!

Exterminate the Xiongnu!

What does extermination mean?

It means killing the Xiongnu until not a single living soul remains!

That is what is called exterminating the Xiongnu!

It is not merely what is called defeating them!

If one speaks of defeat, they were already defeated before the decisive battle at the Hulun Grasslands!

Defeating the Xiongnu at the Hulun Grasslands and forcing Chanyu Modu to flee to the snowy mountains was already an absolute victory unparalleled through the ages!

Even in later generations, only Emperor Wu of Han and Huo Qubing could compare to it!

Crossing the Mount Langjuxu Mountain and forcing their three million people to these snowy mountains had already completely surpassed Emperor Wu of Han and Huo Qubing!

If one speaks of victory, they had truly won long ago!

And this battle was about exterminating the Xiongnu!

Therefore, his entire strategic deployment was arranged according to the extermination of the Xiongnu!

Likewise, the moment they charged down, the military formation was opened up!

A formation of thirty thousand men actually managed to surround over three hundred thousand!

And within the formation, it was nothing but a slaughter by Li Li Yuanba!

According to Fan Zeng's estimation, these five hundred thousand could hold them off for at least two hours!

But... the military formation was something Han Xin had created himself!

Fan Zeng had never seen a military formation before, let alone understood its power!

He did not know how terrifying a military formation truly was!

Let us put it this way: without the formation, even with Li Li Yuanba and one hundred thousand troops, it would take at least two hours to kill five hundred thousand people!

But with the coordination of the formation, it was completely different!

Li Li Yuanba's killing speed was increasing exponentially!

Half an hour!

In just half an hour, all five hundred thousand were slaughtered!

When Fan Zeng saw this, he was absolutely stunned!

At the same time, without any delay, he shouted for everyone to run!

To rush through this area quickly!

But... no matter how fast they were, they could not outrun Li Li Yuanba!

Li Li Yuanba rode his Wanli Wanli Yanyunzhao and arrived instantly!

Then, swinging his great hammers, he forced everyone back!

However, what made them even more desperate was not this!

What was even more desperate was that Wei Zhuang and the others had also returned!
