310: Mole steals house

"Charge my foot!" Lin Yue snapped at Xing Daorong, then fell into silent contemplation.

He had overlooked one thing: around the Right Wise King's Encampment were several other Encampments!

Like satellite cities, they tightly guarded the Right Wise King's Encampment!

If his two hundred thousand Army charged forward recklessly, they would surely be attacked from all sides! There was no other possibility!

But if he attacked these "satellite camps," the Right Wise King would surely be alerted, and by then, he would have tipped his hand, and a head-on confrontation would be very bad!

However, there was no good solution now. The White Horse Righteous Cavalry' attire was very different from that of the Xiongnu, so blending in was impossible. Therefore, his two hundred thousand cavalry could not possibly pass through unnoticed, and with only two quarters of an hour left until dawn, Lin Yue was very anxious.

"Never mind! Charge straight through!" Lin Yue decided.

He still had a long way to go compared to those famous generals; he was helpless in the current situation!

Since it was a night raid, and only one night raid, they could only bypass those satellite cities and head straight for the main Right Wise King's Encampment!

As long as they struck fast, these Xiongnu cavalry wouldn't be able to catch them!

Lin Yue thought.

"All Army, listen to my command! Divide into two parts and bypass the Xiongnu Encampment in front of us from the left and right sides. Our target is the Right Wise King's Encampment further ahead!" Lin Yue roared softly.

"A Rong, you take the left, I'll take the right. We'll rendezvous in front of the Right Wise King's Encampment!

Move fast!" Lin Yue said.

"Understood!" Xing Daorong responded, his eyes burning with the fires of war.

The current situation was different from before. Wei Liang had no great generals under him, and Lin Yue was worried about them encountering unexpected events during the march, so he kept them close to the White Horse Camp. Xing Daorong, however, was different; he had General Yang Ye under him, and they could easily handle ordinary crises.

"Depart!" Lin Yue said softly, and the Army split into two routes to attack!

...The Right Wise King sat coldly in his main tent, his face stern, silently holding a scimitar. The atmosphere in the tent was somewhat oppressive.

The Right Wise King took a deep breath, then said, "Have you found out who did it?"

The Xiongnu Military General said in a deep voice, "It was the White Horse Righteous Cavalry. According to the cavalry nearby, Qin Army riding white horses were active there, so it's most likely the White Horse Righteous Cavalry under Lin Yue, the Great Wall Legion General!"

"Lin Yue? Is it the Lin Yue who defeated Wuluoli before?" The Right Wise King asked, thinking for a moment.

"Yes, it's him!" The Xiongnu Military General nodded in response.

"Trying to kill a snake but failing only leads to harm. Sac, if I had been ruthless enough to kill Lin Yue before, you wouldn't have died in vain tonight!" The Right Wise King said with some sorrow.

He felt some regret at this moment, regretting why he hadn't directly killed Lin Yue back then!

He suddenly remembered it was because of Wuluoli. He wanted to leave a whetstone for Wuluoli, but this whetstone had actually killed his child this time!

He had many children, and Sac was not his most favored one; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent him to the front line scouts for tempering.

Logically, the death of a child shouldn't have made him so sad, but Sac had suffered such inhuman torture after his death. Looking at the riddled corpse, he couldn't help but be filled with rage!

Cavalry like this, without the slightest reverence for warriors, did not deserve to live in this world, and from the cavalry's evil deeds, Lin Yue's character could be seen!

"Your Majesty, what about the young prince...? What should we do?" The Xiongnu Military General broke the silence.

"How is the Army on the front progressing?" The Right Wise King did not answer but instead directly counter-questioned.

"A report just came in a while ago, saying that both sides are in a fierce battle, and the Right Commandant King's progress is not smooth," the Xiongnu Military General answered softly. "And scouts have reported that our Encampment has also been attacked, including the frontline Commandant, the King of Xihu, and the King of Fuli's Encampments. It seems that while we were attacking the Qin Army, the Qin Army also sent out cavalry to counter. This humble general estimates... there might be more than one Qin Army unit." The Xiongnu Military General paused and said.

"Assemble the Army. The murderers who killed Sac are most likely among these few moles," the Right Wise King said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, it's almost dawn. Should we wait until dawn to gather the Army? This humble general fears that the tribesmen have been under mental stress recently, which could cause a mutiny.

Moreover, This humble general feels that these few moles would not dare to attack our home base. They should have already returned to the Qin Camp by now. This humble general believes that sending the Right Commandant King to intercept them is the best method!" The Xiongnu Military General replied.

"You say they wouldn't dare, so they wouldn't dare?" The Right Wise King rarely got angry.

"This humble general knows his mistake!" The Xiongnu Military General hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

"Never mind, get up," the Right Wise King sighed. "Until we receive definite news proving that these few moles have returned to the Qin Army Encampment or have been eliminated, we cannot let our guard down.

As long as there's even a slight possibility of them coming here, it's full of uncertainty, and to win, we must try to avoid these uncertainties."

"Yes! But because five hundred thousand cavalry have already followed the Right Commandant King to raid the Qin Army at night, our main force can currently only assemble eight hundred thousand men," the Xiongnu Military General explained, steeling himself.

The Right Commandant King was one of the Xiongnu's "Twenty-Four Elders," and also one of the "Two Elders" under the Right Wise King. He was the executor of this night raid!

According to the plan, everyone under the Right Wise King should have sent some Soldiers to participate in this night raid. As the behind-the-scenes initiator, the Right Wise King contributed the most troops!

Five hundred thousand cavalry was not a small number for the Right Wise King. He opposed Chanyu Touman coming to the Ordos Loop to fight the Qin Army, so he did not bring too many cavalry to assist.

Now the Army was scattered everywhere, and he could only gather less than a million cavalry for a time!

"Then notify Ha Ge Li to intercept these few moles on his return journey.

And gather the remaining people to be on high alert!" The Right Wise King said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, should we first inform the Chanyu?" The Xiongnu Military General suggested, as such an all-out military operation should be reported to the Chanyu beforehand so he could be prepared.

"Inform what? After Sac died, he became like this, with not a single piece of good flesh on his entire body! What's the difference between this and being cut into a thousand pieces!

You tell me what to inform!" The Right Wise King suddenly flared up in anger.

The Xiongnu Military General, hearing this, trembled and knelt on the ground, saying in a shaking voice:

"This humble general dares not.

Your Majesty, please restrain your grief."

"Restrain grief?

Let them also restrain their grief!" The Right Wise King fiercely plunged his short sword into the table, and a chill instantly spread throughout the entire main tent!

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Xiongnu Military General below the tent responded, nodding like a pounding garlic.

At this moment, outside, fires blazed, and shouts of killing were incessant.

The Xiongnu Military General also heard the sounds, somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

The Right Wise King sniffed, smelling a strong scent of blood. He grabbed his scimitar and suddenly stood up: "Get up, the moles have come to attack our home base. Follow me to meet the enemy!"
