Chapter 307

"The entire military formation forms a circle, wrapping inward!"

"One hundred and twenty cannons are to be distributed!"

"Fan Kuai and Lu Wan, you lead twenty thousand men starting from the west!"

"Zhou Bo and Xia Houying, you lead twenty thousand men starting from the east!"

"Cao Can and Lu Da, you lead twenty thousand men starting from the south!"

"Lu Bu and Xu Chu, you lead twenty thousand men starting from the north!"

"Xiaoyaozi, you lead all the experts, drive straight in from the middle, the target is to kill all the Central Plains experts, and, capture Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu alive!"

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

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

At that moment, everyone holding the command flags shouted and bowed down!

But when it was Xiaoyaozi's turn, he stared at the command flag Han Xin handed him, stunned: "I... I lead two thousand men to drive straight in from the middle, and... capture Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu alive?"

His head buzzed!

Just hearing this mission made it feel extremely difficult!

Han Xin said: "Rest assured, Li Yuanba will be with you!"

"Li Yuanba?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Xiaoyaozi was greatly excited; directly imitating everyone else, he took the command flag and shouted at Han Xin: "Yes!"

"Set out!"

Han Xin shouted, and instantly, everyone moved out!

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

Vast grasslands, stretching endlessly!

Hulun Grasslands; because of a heavy snowfall, the entire grassland was covered in snow!

Looking from afar, a single expanse of white!

Hulun Grasslands!

Inside Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu's military camp!

During this period, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu and Fan Zeng were both extremely exhausted!

They were both handling various military affairs, boosting the soldiers, and raising morale!

Only in this way could they seek a sliver of hope amidst a win rate of one in ten!

Inside Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu's tent!

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

They have already been besieged for seven days!

During these seven days, although Han Xin intentionally delayed the advance speed, moving only twenty li per day!

But... this swamp is only a little over one hundred li!

Now, Han Xin's army has long since crossed the swamp!

They are conducting a siege on the outskirts of the Hulun Grasslands!

Now, the distance between the two sides is already less than one hundred li!

"We must wait!"

"The reason Han Xin is not attacking yet is not because he lacks certainty of victory, but because he does not want to increase casualties unnecessarily!"

"I think he will advance to within a range of thirty li, then slowly launch probing attacks, continuously creating pressure!"

"Wait until the main army is within ten li, then bombard with cannons, then use formations to surround, and finally, let Li Yuanba come in to slaughter!"

Fan Zeng made his deduction.

This was a very reasonable deduction.

Because only in this way could they achieve maximum annihilation!

After hearing this, the others all nodded, believing this must be the case!

However, just as his deduction had just finished, suddenly, a soldier rushed into the tent in panic to report:

"Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu! Chanyu Modu 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 Chanyu Modu Chanyu was shocked, looking at Fan Zeng in disbelief.

Fan Zeng was equally stunned: "He... is he mad? Attacking now?"

"His army is still nearly one hundred li from our forces; how can they attack?"

"Is it just a normal advance?"

Fan Zeng asked, extremely panicked!

The soldier reported: "A normal advance would involve carrying tents and not raising flags, but now, the flags are raised, and they have not broken camp!"

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

"What?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Fan Zeng turned pale with shock.

Without any delay, he rushed out of the tent, mounted a fast horse, and rode out.

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu, the Grand Master, Master Master Xiaomeng, and a host of Xiongnu generals wasted no time, all rushing out!

Everyone turned to watch from afar.

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

They couldn't see!

They couldn't see anything!

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

"What exactly is happening?"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu asked.

Fan Zeng frowned deeply, shaking his head: "I don't know, but I feel Han Xin will not attack now!"

"At the very least, he will not attack tonight!"

"Why?"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu asked again.

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

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

"Therefore, the earliest he will move is tomorrow!"

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

What Fan Zeng said was indeed reasonable!

Yet... inexplicably, he always felt a sense of unease.

At this very moment, order the soldiers to strengthen patrols and maintain strict surveillance!

And in fact, Fan Zeng's guess was not wrong!

Han Xin indeed had no intention of launching a full-scale attack tonight.

The reason was exactly as Fan Zeng guessed: night combat would only create an opportunity for them to escape!

But... not launching a full-scale attack does not mean Han Xin has no intention of doing other things!

Thirty li outside Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's main camp!

At this very moment, Han Xin, Xiaoyaozi, and Li Yuanba, leading over two thousand men, were in the darkness, watching Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's main camp from afar!

"Your objective is simple: capture Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu alive!"

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

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

"At that time, the sky will just be beginning to lighten!"
