230: Blue's Counterattack

"King Baiyang, Local Official Hawasan, having received your command, has brought six tens of thousands of cavalry to assist!"

"King Baiyang, Colonel Hasas, having received your command, has brought two tens of thousands of cavalry to assist!"

...The dim yellow light illuminated the entire great tent, and countless torches lit up around the Encampment!

Waves of cavalry continuously surged around the Encampment; every single one of them had a solemn expression and hurried footsteps.

It wasn't until everyone had arrived that King Baiyang Bulu finally spoke: "I am very happy that you could come today. But I am very disappointed by each and every one of your appearances."

Upon hearing this, the Generals all silently lowered their heads, not daring to meet Bulu's gaze.

They had previously been defeated by a Qin People Army led by Zong Ze, and then the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, who had been missing for a long time, reappeared. Although they were reluctant to admit it, they were indeed beaten like stray dogs, and when they encountered the Qin Army, they could only flee frantically.

"The grassland is our domain; you are the fiercest wolves of the grassland, not the timid yellow sheep you appear to be now!

Show your ambition! Previously, the Qin People were despicable and launched a shameless sneak attack, catching us off guard. Now we have a million troops; are we still afraid of those small Qin People?

Tell me, are you afraid!" Bulu roared!

The surrounding lights stretched his shadow long, and the Generals were all hidden in the shadows at this moment.

"No fear!" the Generals responded, their morale gradually igniting!

"We were born here and grew up here; do you want to leave this place?" Bulu continued to ask, his gaze like a knife fixed on the Generals.

"No!" the Generals replied.

There are no cowards on the grassland; they never gave up in the face of various dangers on the grassland, still stubbornly fighting against nature. How could they flee frantically now because of the Qin Army?

"Good! I was not wrong about you!

According to King Loufan's messenger, King Loufan has already organized his people to resist and is locked in a fierce battle with the Qin Army's General Dong Zhuo, having recaptured eight hundred li of the front line! Now our opportunity for a counterattack has also arrived!

Currently, the Qin Army's front line is stretched too long, and their vanguard forces are not numerous. We can completely encircle and annihilate them in one fell swoop!

Severely dampen their morale!" Bulu paused here, his gaze sweeping over the various Xiongnu people Colonels in the tent one by one, then he slowly said:

"Moreover, this King has already received news that the White Horse Righteous Cavalry are there!

The reward is still valid: whoever takes Lin Yue's head will be granted the title of Left Grand Commandant and rewarded with ten thousand gold!

Furthermore, this King will add another condition: whoever captures Zong Ze will be granted the title of Right Grand Commandant and rewarded with five thousand gold!"

Everyone under the tent breathed rapidly, and in the face of such temptation, everyone's blood boiled!

"Tomorrow, follow this King to war! Begin the counterattack!" Bulu roared!

"Yes!" the Generals responded!

It wasn't until the Generals had left the great tent that Aikala, who had remained silent the entire time, softly said:

"Bulu, have you really thought it through?"

The candlelight flickered continuously, causing Bulu's shadow to sway between light and dark. His face was gloomy, and he seemed hesitant. After a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty: "Yes, even if King Loufan is caught in a pincer attack by Dong Zhuo and Yang Wengzi, I must fight this battle."

"It's good that you've made your decision. Don't worry, Prince Wuluoli and I will always support you." Aikala smiled silently in the shadows, then said:

"But you must hurry. Yang Wengzi's sudden attack has put King Loufan in grave danger.

Time is running out for you."

"I know. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to escort you to the royal court, accompanied by the thirty thousand elite troops my father left me and the Left Great General's one hundred thousand cavalry," Bulu said in a deep voice.

"Good." Aikala's aged voice sounded again... "Lord, we surrender! We surrender!" the Xiongnu people cavalry kneeling before him shouted.

Three thousand Xiongnu people cavalry had surrendered. This was the sixteenth group of Xiongnu people cavalry to surrender in five days. After Lin Yue once again dispersed his Generals, the efficiency greatly improved, and a total of thirty thousand cavalry were recruited. Although the number was not large, even a mosquito's leg, no matter how small, is still meat.

They were mostly scattered skirmishers who had lost contact with their tribes. The more he recruited, the fewer Xiongnu people skirmishers there would be to harass them.

"A good strategist does not conscript troops twice, nor does he transport provisions thrice. He draws resources from his own country and relies on the enemy for provisions, thus ensuring an adequate supply of food for his Army."

Lin Yue had achieved this, recruiting strong men from the Xiongnu people and also obtaining grain from the Xiongnu people.

He now possessed one hundred and fifty thousand surrendered Xiongnu people soldiers, totaling two hundred and fifty thousand troops, and this did not even include the one hundred and eighty thousand troops under Pan Feng and Xing Daorong!

A total of four hundred and thirty thousand cavalry! Lin Yue had never fought such a rich battle!

Lin Yue's face was full of joy, but after the Army had eaten, Zhao Ponu rushed over in a flurry!

"Lord, three hundred li away, Colonel Pan has discovered a large number of cavalry heading towards us!"

"How many people?" Lin Yue asked, his eyes gleaming.

"The exact number is unclear. Colonel Pan estimates no less than five hundred thousand!" Zhao Ponu replied.

"Five hundred thousand?" Lin Yue exclaimed. He had just turned over a new leaf and was singing songs, and now so many people were coming to cause trouble?

"Is the information incorrect?" Lin Yue continued to ask.

"Colonel Pan said the information is accurate, and there may be reinforcements, but he doesn't know how many," Zhao Ponu said!

"Wu De!" Lin Yue shouted.

Wu De was busy wiping his mouth, and upon hearing this, he quickly ran over: "What is it, Lord?"

"Go to the rear and inform General She Jian about this! Tell him to be on high alert and to guard the Xiongnu people tribal settlements well! Quickly!" Lin Yue urged.

The enemy had at least five hundred thousand people, with subsequent reinforcements! This was not a battle Lin Yue could fight alone!

But She Jian could not be moved. Once She Jian's Army moved out of the Xiongnu people tribal settlements, removing the shackles from the surrendered Xiongnu people soldiers, the combined twenty-one tens of thousands of surrendered Xiongnu people soldiers would become like wild horses off the reins.

"Understood!" Wu De ran directly to the rear, mounted his warhorse, and galloped off to the back.

"Which units are closest to us now?" Lin Yue continued to ask.

"Gentleman of the Household Zong Ze is one hundred li behind us, with approximately one hundred thousand cavalry," Zhao Ponu said.

"Send someone to call Zong Ze over, and tell Pan Feng not to engage them directly, but to move closer to our side," Lin Yue ordered, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Understood!" Zhao Ponu replied, then rushed out in a flurry.

Lin Yue's brows were tightly furrowed. To be able to gather so many people on the grassland, it was highly likely to be Bulu. That boy harbored deep hatred towards him, and to launch an attack against him in a situation where the Xiongnu people were bound to lose, he was probably aiming for a fight to the death.
