302: Change home?
"They left the Encampment?" Lin Yue murmured to himself. No wonder this time it went so smoothly; he occupied this Encampment effortlessly. It turned out the main force of the Xiongnu people was not in the Encampment!
"Yes, just an hour ago, the elite Soldiers and Military Generals followed the Xiongnu Military General out of the Encampment," Zhao Ponu nodded in response.
"Then where did they go?" Lin Yue stared intently at Zhao Ponu, eager to know the answer.
"This humble general did not find out," Zhao Ponu shook his head. "These Soldiers were also suddenly woken up, completely unprepared beforehand. The Military General suddenly led the Army out of the Encampment. As for those who remained, they were only told to guard the Encampment and nothing else."
"That would be half an hour before we arrived. No wonder they only reacted when I shot arrows at them; they must have thought I was one of their own," Lin Yue suddenly realized.
"It's very possible," Zhao Yun replied after a brief thought.
"Then the Military General A Rong killed?" Lin Yue asked.
"He was the son of the Xiongnu Military General, only a Mid-Level Military General in strength, left behind by the Xiongnu Military General to guard the Encampment," Zhao Ponu replied.
"What? The person I killed wasn't the Xiongnu Military General?" Xing Daorong's eyes widened as he asked. He found this fact a bit hard to accept.
"Yes, sir," Zhao Ponu admitted in a low voice.
"That explains everything," Lin Yue nodded silently. That Xiongnu Military General was only a Mid-Level Military General, which is why Xing Daorong could easily defeat him in one move.
And because he was too far away to use his Art of Recognizing People, he mistakenly thought the person holding the wolf-tooth club was the Xiongnu Military General!
"My Lord, what should we do now?" Zhao Yun asked, his brows tightly furrowed, breaking the silence of the Generals.
"Tell the Army to ignore the Xiongnu people and immediately withdraw from the Encampment," Lin Yue said sternly.
Everything before him had caught him off guard.
Did the Xiongnu Military General sense the Qin Army's movements and make a temporary countermeasure? Or was it a plan prepared in advance?
He worried that this Encampment was a trap, so he ordered an urgent withdrawal to prevent being trapped like a turtle in a jar.
"Understood!" the two replied.
"Wait, send word to the entire Army to gather outside the Encampment. We must move on to the next target and cannot waste any time!" Lin Yue said after some thought.
He feared that the Army receiving this news would cause unrest in their morale, so he decided to state the reason for withdrawal as continuing to the next target.
This way, the Qin Army, having just achieved a great victory, would withdraw more quickly and without affecting morale!
The more urgent the situation, the calmer he needed to remain!
"Understood!" All the Generals now realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly relayed the orders.
At this moment, Lin Yue also pulled out his communication token and placed it to his mouth.
"General, General!" Lin Yue called out twice.
Soon there was a response from the token: "What is it?"
At the same time, some wind could be heard through the token, suggesting that She Jian was currently traveling at a rapid pace.
"General She Jian, our side has occupied the Xiongnu people vanguard Encampment, but the main Xiongnu people force was not in the Encampment; they left an hour ago!" Lin Yue explained the current situation.
He had to report this matter; otherwise, acting alone might backfire.
"Proceed as planned," She Jian only left this message and gave no further response.
Lin Yue sighed, put the communication token into his Pregnant, and hurried outside.
As for why he put the communication token into his Pregnant, it was because ever since he had tricked Wu De last time, the three young Generals of the Yang Family refused to keep this hot potato, so Lin Yue had to keep it himself.
The Army moved quickly, withdrawing completely from the Encampment in a short time, which left the Xiongnu Soldiers, who had thought they were surely dead, confused, unable to understand what trick the Qin Army was playing.
Lin Yue also walked to the outside of the Encampment at this time, looking at the 200,000 cavalry troops with high morale, ready to go, and shouted loudly: "Follow me!"
"Understood!" everyone shouted in unison, like wolves following their alpha, silently advancing in the night!
It wasn't until the Army had rushed thirty li outwards according to the plan that Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a trap. Otherwise, if the Xiongnu people had suddenly rushed in just now, this battle would have been truly difficult to fight.
However, the situation is now even more confusing. If it's not a trap, then where did the Xiongnu Military General take the 200,000 Xiongnu people cavalry?
Being able to evade the White Horse Camp scouts' reconnaissance means they weren't heading towards Xing Daorong's Encampment. So where did he go?"
Lin Yue pondered deeply, and suddenly a shocking idea appeared in his mind!
Were they also attacking an Encampment tonight?
Did both sides swap places?
However, these were not within his scope of consideration, because She Jian still told him to proceed as planned.
He was now heading to the second battlefield as required by the plan!
At this moment, a faint vibration came from the ground, and a large contingent of cavalry gradually appeared in front!
