Chapter 1297: A surprise raid on the Xiongnu lair—wiped them out in one fell swoop!

Upon hearing this, Pu Duo became even more excited.

"Many thanks, Lord Gao!"

Wang Xiao stood to the side, his breathing accelerating uncontrollably, his eyes shining with a wild light.

He stared at Gao Yang, his heart shaken.

He never imagined that Gao Yang would actually find the lair of the Xiongnu Chanyu!

If he were to capture the grandfather of the Xiongnu Chanyu, this would be a monumental merit!

A merit the likes of which the entire Great Qian had not seen in nearly a hundred years!

Gao Yang stared at the Xiongnu tribe a few miles away, his own eyes flashing with brilliance.

This feeling of being a "sixth man" (a sneak/camper) during a surprise raid was truly great!

"Pass on this Captain's order!"

"The entire army will rest in place. After the night deepens, we will launch a surprise attack on the Xiongnu Chanyu's lair and achieve an immortal merit!"

Gao Yang's voice rang out.

In an instant, the messengers relayed the order, and the eight hundred men all fell silent, beginning to rest where they were.

Whoosh!

Winter had passed and spring had come; the weather was gradually warming up, but on the grasslands, the spring wind sweeping through was still quite chilly.

Yet beneath this hill, the hearts of the eight hundred personal guards grew increasingly fiery.

They lurked behind the sand dunes a few miles from the Xiongnu encampment, quietly waiting for nightfall.

The sky gradually darkened.

Darkness was approaching.

At this moment, the Xiongnu encampment was bustling with activity; bonfires burned fiercely, illuminating the night sky and reflecting the joyful faces of the Xiongnu people.

Outside the tents, a group of Xiongnu men with bare chests gathered around a giant wine barrel, holding wine bowls high and gulping down mellow mare's milk wine, then slamming the bowls onto the ground with boisterous laughter.

Xiongnu women in colorful attire danced joyfully, their skirts flying and kicking up dust, while children chased and played among them, their innocent laughter ringing out from time to time.

The entire tribe appeared extremely peaceful and calm.

Inside the tents, Xiongnu nobles sat around long tables filled with delicacies, eating and drinking to their hearts' content.

Someone spoke up, "Great Chanyu, the Great Qian army has reached the Xuanshui River bend; they are coming aggressively. Should we take extra precautions and retreat a bit further?" ===== CHAPTER 1299 =====
