277: I am no longer the boy I used to be.

"Why did you stop?" Xing Daorong asked, looking at the scout who had suddenly halted in front.

"Colonel, there's a body here!" replied a Soldier of the White Horse Righteous Cavalry.

"A body? Aren't there bodies all over the battlefield?" Xing Daorong asked, raising an eyebrow.

"But this one seems to be from our Army," the Soldier said.

"From our Army? A few of you go and retrieve him, take him to the rear for burial," Xing Daorong ordered.

Soon, dozens of White Horse Righteous Cavalry scouts rode over.

They hoped it was one of their comrades, so they could bring him back for a proper burial, but they also hoped it wasn't, because although some had not returned to the ranks, they preferred to think their comrades were still fighting, just having forgotten the time to return.

They ran over anxiously, wanting to see if the person lying on the ground was someone they knew.

"Shunzi! My Shunzi!" A Soldier suddenly burst into tears, violently shaking Shunzi, trying to wake him up.

"Alas, go on," Xing Daorong sighed, then had people send the two of them back to the rear to handle Shunzi's funeral arrangements.

On the battlefield, to receive a complete body was already a great fortune.

"Colonel, I've contacted the General," Tian Liang shouted, riding up behind him.

"What did the Lord say?" Xing Daorong asked eagerly.

"The General ordered you to hold your position!" Tian Liang gasped for breath.

"Good," Xing Daorong nodded and shouted, "The Army, except for the scouts, will all cease marching!"

"Understood!" the Generals responded.

"Did the General say when he would arrive?" Xing Daorong looked ahead, his brows furrowed, afraid that Wuluoli would escape.

After all, no one would be indifferent to such a big fish!

"He didn't say, but This humble general heard the General say to accelerate the march," Tian Liang thought for a moment before answering.

"Alright," Xing Daorong said expressionlessly.

"A Rong, A Rong!" The communication token on Tian Liang's body made a sound, and Tian Liang, seeing this, handed it over.

"Lao Pan!" Xing Daorong exclaimed in surprise.

"A Rong, don't act rashly, wait for us to come over!

There's only one chance, don't alert the enemy!" Pan Feng's anxious words came through the token.

"Don't worry, Lao Pan, don't you trust me? I'm the most calm and collected, I won't mess things up," Xing Daorong laughed, glad he hadn't listened to Gao Bin's instigation earlier, and now he greatly admired his own wise decision.

Pan Feng's tone faltered upon hearing this, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, there was no response from the other token for a long time. Xing Daorong shook the token, sighed, "This thing, why is it so unreliable?"

"I encountered the same situation when I used it," Tian Liang said with a smile.

"No, I heard you," Pan Feng's voice sounded again, but his voice was much deeper:

"In short, don't act rashly. The Lord, Wei Liang, and I, the Colonel, are already on our way to you and will arrive soon."

"Lao Pan, don't worry, I'll wait for you," Xing Daorong chuckled, then put away the token.

He turned and ordered, "The entire Army will maintain a state of alert until the Lord arrives!"

"Understood!"

... "Your Highness, there are more and more Qin Army scouts ahead!" a Xiongnu Military General reported.

"Deal with them all!" Wuluoli said coldly, his eyes now only on Lin Yue!

He must have his revenge, to wash away his humiliation! Only then could he gain the support of the kings!

"Yes!" the Xiongnu Military General replied.

"Wait! Have you figured out the Qin Army's position and numbers?" Wuluoli stopped him, suddenly asking.

Chaji nodded slightly at this. Fortunately, Prince Wuluoli had not been blinded by hatred and remained calm at all times. This was another essential ability for a general, besides foresight!

People who were easily provoked and prone to impulsive actions were not suited for the battlefield. Central Plains historical records contained countless examples of military defeats caused by impulsive decisions.

So, from the current perspective, although Wuluoli was still far from Prince Modu, he had grown a lot compared to half a year ago.

Of course, this was just his own opinion.

"We've roughly figured it out. Their Army has about 100,000 men, all mounted on white horses, and they are about fifty li away from us.

Scouts report that the Qin Army seems a bit hesitant, now stalled in place," the Xiongnu Military General said.

"Scout again and report!" Wuluoli said sternly.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The Xiongnu Military General spurred his horse forward.

Chaji was even more satisfied. Intelligence was the top priority on the battlefield. It seemed Prince Wuluoli had gained a lot during the half year he spent fighting the Dingling People in Beihai.

He was like night and day compared to half a year ago!

But he still asked, "Your Highness, we are now over a hundred li away from the Right Wise King's troops. Shouldn't we wait for him?"

"No time! The Right Wise King will catch up once he realizes we've accelerated," Wuluoli shook his head and said.

Although Wuluoli said so, Chaji was still a little worried.

"If that Qin Soldier didn't lie, the hesitant and indecisive person is precisely Xing Daorong!

This also matches my impression of him. At this moment, I am eighty percent sure it is him!

So, this is a rare opportunity, and we cannot delay!"

At this moment, all the Generals were listening intently to Wuluoli analyze the situation, because every piece of information on the battlefield was incredibly important.

Wuluoli continued:

"The 100,000 cavalry mounted on white horses must be the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, the most elite cavalry under Lin Yue!

Xing Daorong, as a Military General, is fearful and dares not advance, completely wasting the combat power of this cavalry!

So, we only need to outflank them, and while their morale is in chaos, we can surround them on three sides and surely achieve a great victory!

Thus, Lin Yue's strongest fighting force will be annihilated. And Lin Yue without the White Horse Righteous Cavalry will be like a wolf king who has lost his legs.

At that time, capturing Lin Yue will be as easy as catching a chicken!" Wuluoli's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, wishing he could sprout wings and fly to Lin Yue's front at this very moment!

"But, if Lin Yue is really that weak, Your Highness, how did you lose to him?"

Wuluoli's figure on his warhorse trembled, almost falling off. After steadying himself, he looked at A Leng with disbelief, wondering what kind of character this Military General, brought back from the Henan region by Elder Aikala, was. Did he even have a brain?

Immediately after, Wuluoli roared with burning anger:

"Times have changed! I am no longer the Wuluoli of the past!"
