Chapter 95: Yufuluo Falls into the Trap

Following the explanations of Huchuquan and Mu Shun, Yufuluo also believed it a bit.

After all, no one could take the entire Dingxiang Commandery in such a short time and still have time to ambush them.

"You two are right. This Chanyu also feels that Zhang Liao doesn't have this ability to take the entire Dingxiang Commandery so quickly."

"This Chanyu decides, the whole army pass through the valley quickly. Remember, make it clear to the soldiers, everyone must be careful!"

In the end, Yufuluo still decided not to change the route and detour, but to pass through the valley.

Little did he know, it was this decision of his that vainly buried fifty thousand troops and himself!

Following Yufuluo's order to continue advancing, the army of fifty thousand grandly headed toward Tongguo City.

Soon, Yufuluo's army arrived before the valley. Looking at the valley before him, Yufuluo ordered the army to stop advancing.

And he himself walked forward alone, staring at the valley before him, and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Yufuluo muttered to himself:

"

"If we set an ambush here, the giant boulders falling from the mountain will cut off the army's path of advance."

"Even if there is still space left, it would only be enough for a few people to pass through."

"If the enemy army cuts us off from the front and rear, that would truly be a situation where one has a nine-in-ten chance of dying!"

Little did they know, while Yufuluo was standing there lost in thought, Zhang Liao and the others, who were lying in ambush, were becoming extremely anxious.

The Commandant who was with Zhang Liao could no longer hold back his impatience and said to Zhang Liao anxiously:

"General, those Xiongnu have stopped. They couldn't have discovered us, could they?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao glared at him fiercely and scolded:

"Stop talking nonsense! The Xiongnu scouts absolutely have not discovered us. Everyone, watch and wait!"

After being scolded by Zhang Liao, the Commandant finally quieted down and continued to watch silently.

Meanwhile, Yufuluo was also feeling a bit uneasy.

To be on the safe side, he still called the scouts over and confirmed once more:

"Are you certain that this place has been thoroughly scouted?"

Faced with Yufuluo's inquiry, the scout hesitated for a moment, then replied with certainty:

"Reporting to the Grand Chanyu, this subordinate has already confirmed it. There is no large army lying in ambush on the mountain."

There was no other way; having reached this point, the scout had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.

Moreover, they had indeed scouted the mountain; it was just that there were some areas they hadn't managed to check.

In this world, such a coincidence couldn't possibly happen where the enemy army was actually in the one place they hadn't scouted.

If that were the case, then the enemy army would be hidden far too deeply!

Seeing the scout's tone of such certainty, the heart that Yufuluo had been holding in his throat finally settled down.

Behind him, Huchuquan, who had seen Yufuluo's actions, could not help but come forward.

He asked him in confusion: "Grand Chanyu, what is the matter?"

Seeing Huchuquan come to ask, Yufuluo said with some worry:

"I don't know why, but looking at this place gives me a feeling of heart-pounding dread!"

After hearing Yufuluo's words, Huchuquan immediately explained:

"Grand Chanyu, there is no need to worry. In this Bingzhou, the only one who could set an ambush for us is Zhang Liao."

"And at this moment, he is still in Dingxiang Commandery, attacking cities and seizing strongholds!"

"How could it be possible for him to be here setting an ambush?"

"Besides, our scouts have already gone to investigate."

"Grand Chanyu should trust our scouts!"

"They wouldn't dare to deceive the Grand Chanyu!"

Seeing that Huchuquan spoke with such conviction,

Yufuluo was, for a moment, somewhat convinced.

"This..."

After pondering for a while, Yufuluo suppressed the feeling in his heart and said to Huchuquan:

"What you say also makes sense. Perhaps I am just overthinking it!"

After speaking, he looked back at the valley once more, shook his head fiercely, and said to Huchuquan:

"Let's go. We must pass through this place quickly."

After saying this, he took the lead and walked toward the main army.

At this moment, Zhang Liao and the others, who were lying in ambush behind the valley, were also getting a bit anxious.

Seeing the Xiongnu army right before their eyes but refusing to enter the ambush circle—the mental torment of that is easy to imagine.

"General, what exactly is this Xiongnu Chanyu waiting for?"

"They've already reached this point, why have they stopped for so long?"

To tell the truth, Zhang Liao was also getting a bit anxious at this point.

It had been nearly half an hour, and he was also worried.

He feared that the Xiongnu, upon seeing this place, would be too scared to enter, and would rather spend more time than pass through here.

That would be quite frustrating.

"Damn it! These Xiongnu are really something, to be able to hesitate for this long!"

Zhang Liao could not help but curse under his breath.

"General, look!"

"The Xiongnu army is moving!"

Just as Zhang Liao was about to speak, the excited voice of the Commandant rang in his ears.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly looked in the direction of the Xiongnu army.

Sure enough, the Xiongnu army, which had paused for a long time, was rapidly heading toward the valley.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao's body suddenly jolted, and he said to everyone:

"Everyone, get ready. The Xiongnu army will be here in a moment."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in low voices immediately, all gripping their weapons tightly, waiting for Zhang Liao's command.

Just as Zhang Liao and the others were watching with tense faces as the Xiongnu army entered the valley,

Yufuluo was also leading the army, passing through the valley rapidly.

"The Grand Chanyu has ordered: increase your speed!"

Huchuquan and Mu Shun were currently commanding the army, moving rapidly toward the opposite side of the valley.

Seeing that the Xiongnu army had completely entered the valley,

Zhang Liao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately shouted: "Attack!"

As Zhang Liao's voice fell, the sounds of battle cries rang out immediately.

And the ten thousand soldiers who had long been prepared on the mountain peaks on both sides threw down the thunder-stones and rolling logs they held in their hands all at once.

"Boom—!"

"Oh no, take cover quickly! We are under attack!"

Seeing the thunder-stones and rolling logs falling from the mountain peaks on both sides, Yufuluo, Huchuquan, and the others shouted loudly while scrambling to take cover.

"Kill!"

Before Yufuluo and the others could react, a rain of countless arrows, accompanied by thunder-stones and rolling logs, descended upon the panicked Xiongnu army.

"Help me!"

"Oh no, I've been hit by an arrow! I'm going to die!"

"Ah! Help!"

In an instant, the entire army fell into chaos.

Everywhere there were the screams of Xiongnu soldiers.

Some were shot dead by sharp arrows, others were crushed directly by thunder-stones and rolling logs.

There were also those hit by fire arrows, running everywhere while engulfed in flames.

Many Xiongnu soldiers were also trampled to death by warhorses and their own men.

In any case, throughout the entire valley, those Xiongnu soldiers who did not take cover in time

suffered countless casualties under this wave of attacks.

"Do not panic! Do not panic!"

"Everyone follow this Chanyu and break out together!"

Looking at the Xiongnu soldiers falling before his eyes, Yufuluo's eyes turned red.

He shouted loudly toward the battlefield.

And after hearing his words, Huchuquan and Mu Shun also shouted loudly:

"Do not panic! Let us follow the Grand Chanyu and charge out together!"
