305: Not a clueless one at all.
At the hour of Yin, Lin Yue and Wang Han finally arrived at the Xiongnu people Encampment.
After a half-hour interval, the two launched another attack on the Xiongnu people!
"Shoot arrows!" Lin Yue roared!
The Army split into three, with Lin Yue, Wang Da Tou, and Wei Liang each leading 100,000 cavalry, encircling the King of Xihu's Encampment from three sides!
The military order stated that the King of Xihu was not weak, and if the situation became unmanageable, they could decide whether to retreat.
But the word "retreat" had never appeared in the dictionaries of Lin Yue and Wang Da Tou!
Moreover, with the enemy in the open and us concealed, how could they retreat halfway through such an opportunity!
"Kill!" After a round of deadly arrow rain, Lin Yue charged at the forefront, heading straight for the King of Xihu's Encampment!
"One, two, three, hey!" Everyone pulled together, using iron chains to yank open the main gate of the King of Xihu's Encampment.
"Boom!" The gate collapsed with a crash.
Lin Yue, leading the charge, was the first to burst into the Encampment. The Generals followed closely on his left and right, and behind him, the 100,000 White Horse Righteous Cavalry, like hungry wolves smelling blood, followed tightly!
The forces within the King of Xihu's Encampment were not numerous. Intelligence reported that the King of Xihu had brought 600,000 cavalry to assist the Right Wise King in this battle, but within this vast camp, not many Xiongnu people could be seen!
Especially when compared to the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, they were pitifully few. It was common to see three or four White Horse Righteous Cavalry chasing a single Xiongnu people!
What surprised Lin Yue was that the King of Xihu had not gone on the night raid but was in the Encampment, and at this moment, he was leading a group of cavalry to attack him!
However, this was exactly what Lin Yue wanted!
name: Lai Jubo
Identity: King of Xihu (Xiongnu people)
Martial Power: 89
Intelligence: 78
Command: 84
Politics: 80
Charm: 75
Lin Yue used the Art of Recognizing People and clearly saw that the approaching General was indeed the King of Xihu, a peak Second-Rate Military General!
"Zi Long, it's your turn! You must capture this King of Xihu!" Lin Yue said in a deep voice.
He didn't know how many cavalry were still inside the Xiongnu people Encampment, so capturing the King of Xihu as quickly as possible was the right course of action!
"Understood!" Zi Long responded, then accelerated and charged towards the King of Xihu!
Zi Long was a First-rate Military General; fighting the King of Xihu, a peak Second-Rate Military General, would be effortless for him!
Lin Yue was very confident about this, so his main target was the group of cavalry behind the King of Xihu.
"Charge with me!
Trample the enemy camp!" Lin Yue raised his saber and roared, leading the Army to crash into the enemy formation!
...By the time Lin Yue stopped at the King of Xihu's Central Army main tent, Wang Da Tou had just arrived.
The two exchanged smiles, and then Wei Liang also arrived at the scene.
"Bang!" A person fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Then, Zhao Yun landed steadily from the air onto his earth-tier warhorse and cupped his hands to Lin Yue, saying, "My Lord, This humble general has captured the King of Xihu!"
"Well done, Zi Long!" Lin Yue said with a smile. Zi Long truly wouldn't disappoint him!
Then, Yang Yanping stepped forward and used a rope to tie him up tightly. Lin Yue couldn't bear to look directly; the King of Xihu was now a mess. Presumably, that free-fall had thrown him into a daze, and even if he were allowed to run now, he wouldn't have the ability.
But caution was never wrong; a peak Second-Rate Military General's realm, any treatment was not excessive.
"My Lord, don't worry. As a peak Second-Rate Military General, these injuries will incapacitate him but won't harm him fundamentally, and his life is not in any danger," Zhao Yun explained, seeing Lin Yue's expression of not being able to bear to look.
"Good," Lin Yue nodded. Since he wouldn't die, everything was fine.
At this moment, Wang Da Tou smiled and said, "Brother Lin, your subordinates are truly full of talent!"
Lin Yue cupped his hands in modesty but refused to say another word. The last time Lin Yue was tricked was because he talked too much and was ambushed by Wang Li, Wang Da Tou, and others.
Wang Da Tou didn't mind but asked, "Now that the task is done, our military orders have been completed. It's time to return to the Encampment. I wonder if Brother Lin's military orders have any other instructions? If not, why don't we return to the Encampment together?"
"Uh... forget it." Lin Yue was about to say that his military orders still had a plan, but because he and Wang Da Tou both served under General Wang Li, if he deceived Wang Da Tou tonight, it would be awkward to see him again in the future, so he stopped himself from speaking.
After all, Soldiers were straightforward men, and fabricating lies would earn him contempt.
"General Wang, aren't you going to seize this great opportunity to achieve new merits?" Lin Yue thought for a moment and tempted him.
Because all the Generals present had noticed that there weren't many Soldiers in the King of Xihu's Encampment, far from the 600,000 Army mentioned in the Intelligence!
That meant the scale of the Xiongnu people's night raid tonight was not small!
It was even more likely that every large Encampment under the Right Wise King had sent personnel to participate!
Then, those Encampments not planned for attack in the military orders would very likely be like these few Encampments: weakly defended and vulnerable!
"I won't go," Wang Da Tou shook his big head and said with a bitter smile, "I am different from you. If I act without authorization, General Wang Li will be furious."
Lin Yue's face showed suspicion, then he asked, "Why?"
"Never mind, that's not important. What's important is that with merit in hand, why doesn't Brother Lin stop now, lest he end up working in vain?" Wang Da Tou advised.
"This doesn't align with your way of being a General, General Wang?" Lin Yue exclaimed. Just before, Wang Da Tou had told him to strike while the iron was hot, so why was he retreating now?
"Alas, my way of being a General is to be steady and sure-footed.
Brother Lin, I'm going to speak frankly with you: you must calm down and never be overly ambitious!
How deep are the waters between battle formations? How many famous Generals have fallen here? Throughout history, who dares to claim invincibility?
Listen to your elder brother's advice, you are still young, and you have plenty of time in the future to prove yourself, but you cannot grasp it now.
Stop, Brother Lin!"
Wang Da Tou looked earnest and sincere, speaking as if he wanted to pull out his heart for Lin Yue to see, tirelessly advising him.
It was as if Lin Yue's path ahead was a pit of fire, and one step forward meant death!
"I know everything General Wang said, but if a young man isn't impetuous, is he still a young man?!" Lin Yue said, sticking out his neck, feeling as if someone had told him these words before, but he couldn't quite remember who.
"No, you don't know!" Wang Da Tou stared intently into Lin Yue's eyes and said.
"I know!" Lin Yue glared back fiercely, showing his determination!
"Alright, anyway, if Brother Lin wants to achieve new merits, I won't stop you, but you must remember to prioritize safety," Wang Da Tou sighed, hearing this. "Don't worry, I will cover for you with General Wang Li."
Seeing this, Lin Yue didn't insist: "Then, General Wang, could you help me escort this King of Xihu to the rear?"
Wang Da Tou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, but if he escapes, I won't be responsible."
"Of course," Lin Yue said with a smile, then jokingly pointed to Wang Zhi beside him and laughed, "The Supervisor can testify!"
If he didn't return to the rear, bringing the King of Xihu would be a burden, so it was better to let Wang Da Tou take him away. As for him escaping, Lin Yue didn't believe Wang Da Tou would be so careless.
At the same time, after he said he wouldn't return, Wang Zhi had not interrupted him the entire time, which meant Wang Zhi also agreed with his plan. After all, in history, he dared to lead 20,000 Ming Army Soldiers directly to the Mongol royal court. He was not averse to such high-risk, high-reward combat methods!
"Yes, This one can testify," Wang Zhi also chimed in with a smile.
"Oh?" Wang Da Tou looked at Wang Zhi curiously, then curiously asked Lin Yue, "He's the Supervisor?"
"Yes," Lin Yue nodded.
"So he's the Supervisor. Earlier, I saw his swordplay was powerful and decisive, killing with ruthless efficiency without any hesitation. I thought he was one of your Generals!" Wang Da Tou said, scratching his big head and laughing.
Lin Yue couldn't help but look at Wang Da Tou with higher regard upon hearing this. Look at his emotional Intelligence; no wonder he could be the head of the Five Tiger Generals!
At the same time, these words made Wang Zhi, who was nearby, overjoyed!
But the next moment, both their smiles simultaneously vanished!
"He doesn't look like a eunuch at all!"
