236: Under the moon, unexpected encounter

"Depart!" She Jian said in a deep voice, being the first to step out of the Encampment!

Then, two hundred and forty thousand surrendered Xiongnu Soldiers, divided into several teams, silently followed close behind him.

This was perhaps the last moment of calm before the great battle.

From this moment on, all Qin Army in the Encampment moved like a machine; the Army emerged from all directions, rushing to their designated locations, countless gears began to turn, and the war machine started to operate.

Countless scouts galloped on swift horses through the night, coming and going like the wind. As the Army set out, torches densely covered the ground, forming a fiery dragon, as if to devour all enemies.

Lin Yue also led Zhao Yun, Xing Daorong, Liu Sandao, General Yang Ye, and Zhao Ponu, a total of one hundred thousand White Horse Righteous Cavalry, to their designated location, finally stopping to the left rear of She Jian.

The night was quiet; besides the low snorts of horses and the "clank clank" of armor colliding, there was no other sound.

After a long while, the communication token vibrated. Lin Yue held it to his ear, and She Jian's voice came through:

"All armies prepare, the enemy is still twenty li from us."

She Jian's voice was a bit deep, but Lin Yue detected a hint of joy in it. For a pure Soldier like him, to charge on the front line, the flame in his heart must be burning fiercely now!

Immediately after, there was a deathly silence. The eve of a great battle is always tense and unsettling.

Because the battlefield is a place full of miracles and accidents. No one can be certain which way the scales of victory will tip, and no one can be certain of his own fate!

This is a place full of infinite possibilities, where countless famous generals have been born, but even more, there are nameless bones.

"A general's success is built upon ten thousand withered bones" is far from just a saying; the fate of most people is often death. "To return wrapped in horsehide" is a relatively good end; the fate of even more people is to turn into withered bones or be buried in a sea of fire.

"All armies prepare, still ten li."

She Jian's voice came again, and Lin Yue felt an inexplicable tension in his heart.

Gradually, on the vast grassland, Lin Yue spotted fiery dragons in the distance!

At the same time Lin Yue spotted them, Chahan, Right General also spotted them!

Before this, countless scouts had been reporting every small change on the battlefield, and now they finally saw the main force!

"The Qin People are right before our eyes. The time for revenge has come, brave warriors, kill!" Chahan, Right General roared, urging his warhorse forward, drawing his long spear, and charging!

He understood that the time for the decisive battle had arrived!

Under the bright moon, two cavalry armies of different ethnicities, yet with the same objective, finally met.

The great battle was about to erupt!

"All armies listen, no action without orders!" She Jian put away his communication token, then shouted to the surrendered Xiongnu Soldiers behind him:

"Follow the Black Water Dragon Banner! Where the banner is, that is your direction!"

After She Jian spoke, he glanced at Tong Wei. Seeing Tong Wei nod, he shouted with all his might:

"Achieve great deeds now, charge with me!"

Immediately, She Jian rode out alone, wielding his long spear, followed closely by Tong Wei, holding a dark black banner that was even blacker than the night!

The surrendered Xiongnu Soldiers followed behind the Black Water Dragon Banner like tigers and wolves, their eyes burning with the desire to tear apart all enemies!

This was the moment that would decide their fate!

Life or death, wandering or glory and wealth, all in an instant!

To live in Great Qin, they abandoned their racial notions and pointed their long spears at their former kinsmen! They all used every ounce of their strength, doing their utmost to survive!

"Kill!" Chahan, Right General roared!

Immediately, the Xiongnu Cavalry behind him split into three, charging directly towards the Qin Army!

Seeing this, She Jian also raised his hand in a signal. The surrendered Xiongnu Soldiers behind him also split into three, forming three armies. Immediately, the cavalry on the left and right flanks gradually outflanked, simultaneously drawing their longbows and aiming at Chahan, Right General's cavalry!

"Shoot!" Chahan, Right General shouted, and countless arrows flew towards the Qin Army!

At the same time, the arrows of the surrendered Xiongnu Soldiers also rained down!

Even the bright moon in the sky seemed to avoid their sharpness; the night sky instantly darkened!

But the darkness did not last long. In just two breaths, the bright moon broke through the arrow rain!

It once again cast its light upon the land!

The arrow rain fell in an instant, and the sky regained its brightness! Both sides were in disarray, with men and horses falling, and casualties everywhere!

But for both armies, this was merely a drop in the ocean; no one paid it any mind.

Because with the return of light, the two armies were less than two hundred meters apart in the blink of an eye!

"Left and right armies, attack!" Chahan, Right General shouted!

Cavalry warfare emphasizes bypassing the enemy's main force, choosing to attack weak points, making them unable to cope at both ends, and throwing them into disarray!

This was a flanking tactic, and Chahan, Right General understood it well, which is why he ordered the left and right armies to accelerate their charge, colliding with the Qin Army's flanks to prevent them from being cut in half!

"Kill!"

Suddenly, there was a scene of men and horses falling, and the neighing of warhorses filled the air!

The sound was incredibly piercing, but Chahan, Right General did not continue to watch, for he had met his opponent!

The Great Qin General, She Jian!

Chahan, Right General's brows, hidden beneath his helmet, furrowed tightly. He had encountered She Jian with Bulu last time, but he had never truly grasped this man's actual strength!

But there was no time to think; even if he died now, he had to charge forward!

She Jian roared and also rode his warhorse forward!

The clash of two banners also represented the collision of life and death between the two men!

"Kill!" Chahan, Right General roared, a long spear aimed directly at She Jian's face!

She Jian sneered, his arm suddenly turning into a blur, and a cold glint suddenly appeared before Chahan, Right General's eyes!

Chahan, Right General's expression tightened, and he dodged sideways, but alas, the next moment, the spear tip still pierced his shoulder!

"Ah!"

Chahan, Right General cried out in pain, brushing past She Jian!

She Jian did not stop; he understood that this general was just a pawn, and even killing him would not affect the overall situation. What he had to do was to penetrate the entire Xiongnu Cavalry, forcing Bulu to reveal himself!

Only this way could the outcome be decided in one battle!

"Kill!"

She Jian continued to charge, his long spear mercilessly reaping the lives of the Xiongnu Cavalry. Wherever he went, Xiongnu Soldiers screamed and flew backward. At this moment, She Jian was like a war god possessed; no one could stop him!

Tong Wei still followed closely behind She Jian; that was a vacuum created for him by She Jian. He also had dedicated personnel protecting him, and even if someone launched a sneak attack, they would be dealt with!

His job was not to kill, but to ensure that the great banner always stood at the forefront!

He was the standard-bearer of the Great Wall Legion, the direction and faith of an Army!

Following the Black Water Dragon Banner, the surrendered Xiongnu Soldiers all charged bravely, like an arrow piercing into the Xiongnu people formation!

Countless eyes watched this battlefield.

"Make your move," Bulu said from a distance.
