Chapter 962: Madman against madman! [2]

Outside Wuwei City.

The sixty-thousand-strong foreign coalition army was divided into four directions—east, south, west, and north—surrounding the entire Wuwei City so tightly that not even water could pass through.

Looking down from the city walls, it was like a white ocean.

In the south of the city.

Han Sui and Bian Zhang led over a thousand Han troops, mixed in among the Hu cavalry.

Han Sui looked around with a wary gaze.

The calm sand dunes seemed to harbor a murderous aura that made Han Sui unable to feel at ease.

"Yanming, don't just rush to charge later; let the Hu cavalry go first. We must preserve our strength."

Han Sui turned his head and spoke to a youth of about sixteen or seventeen years old behind him.

The youth held a large steel spear, his face majestic, clad in black armor with a black cloak draped over his back.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing Han Sui's order, Yan Xing's expression was slightly stunned.

"Father-in-law... is there a problem?" Yan Xing asked, puzzled.

Han Sui took a deep breath, then nodded slightly and said, "I always feel a sense of unease."

"I have studied this man Duan Yu before; ever since he first began to show his mettle, he has fought countless battles, large and small."

"From Bingzhou to the Xianbei, the Xiongnu, Liangzhou, and suppressing the Huang Jin rebels, he has never known defeat."

"Never..."

Han Sui shook his head and said, "Although this time it is a trap that Beigong Boyu has plotted for half a year to set for Duan Yu, I still feel that something is not right."

"Duan Yu..."

"Would he really be fooled so easily?"

"Would he place himself in such a dangerous position?"

"Wenyue." Bian Zhang, on the other side, also cast his gaze toward Han Sui and said, "Do you mean... that Duan Yu might have already sensed something?"

Han Sui shook his head.

His gaze was extremely grave.

Although Han Sui could not be certain.

He still felt a sense of unease in his heart.

How could someone as shrewd and battle-hardened as Duan Yu fall for such a trap so easily?

To be honest, this trap was not particularly clever.

It merely exploited the competitive spirit of Duan Yu's subordinates to lure him here.

And used ten thousand troops as bait to trick Duan Yu into coming.

It seemed like one ring linked to another.

But if Duan Yu had brought too many troops.

Or if Duan Yu had been unwilling to risk himself, this plan would have been difficult to succeed.

While Han Sui was pondering, the ten thousand or so Hu cavalry beside him had already begun to spur their horses, closing in on Wuwei City.

Beigong Boyu intended to exploit the fact that Wuwei City was weak and could not withstand a siege, using his numerical advantage to trap Duan Yu within the city in one fell swoop.

"Caution never goes amiss."

Han Sui said, "Attacking Wuwei City makes no difference whether we are there or not."

"We are merely serving as witnesses to the cooperation."

Upon hearing Han Sui's words, Yan Xing and Bian Zhang both nodded.

North of Wuwei City.

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou also led over ten thousand Huangzhong Yi Cong, closing in on the direction of Wuwei City.

"Wenhou, how are things prepared over there?" Beigong Boyu asked, looking at Li Wenhou beside him.

Li Wenhou nodded and said, "Everything is prepared; the weapons for those people have all been placed in the positions you previously arranged."

Beigong Boyu, riding on a white warhorse, nodded, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"When the main army launches the attack later, as soon as Duan Yu's ambush troops appear, begin to retreat according to the route I planned!" Beigong Boyu's gaze looked toward the distant Wuwei City.

"Ah?"

Li Wenhou widened his eyes, then cast his gaze toward the surrounding towering sand dunes. ===== CHAPTER 964 =====
