330: The Huns charge!

"This humble general She Jian, along with Wang Han and Lin Yue's divisions, has reached the designated position!"

"Hold your ground and await orders!"

"Understood!"

She Jian put down his communication token and walked side-by-side with Lin Yue and Wang Da Tou, his gaze fixed on the front.

The three of them now commanded a total of 280,000 cavalry, positioned on the flank and rear of the Army, holding their ground, awaiting military orders before launching their attack.

From Modu's night raid on them until now, in just two hours, General Meng Tian had led the Great Wall Legion forward a hundred li, arrayed his forces, and prepared to launch a full-scale assault!

This speed left Lin Yue in awe, as it wasn't a movement of tens of thousands, but of over a million men and horses.

The strength of Zhao Ben's Army in the center was completely intact, with nearly 1.5 million troops, plus the simultaneous attacks from the left and right flank Armies, all targeting Touman's Army!

Touman's Army quickly responded; he did not sit idly by. There were no deep city walls here, and the Xiongnu did not possess the skill of defending cities, so he gathered the Xiongnu cavalry, spread them across the grassland, formed battle formations on General Meng Tian's inevitable path, selected terrain favorable for a charge, and prepared for a field battle with the Qin Army!

Field battles were what they excelled at. The Xiongnu cavalry, like locusts, gathered densely, but upon closer inspection, they were divided into several arrays, vast in scale yet not lacking flexibility. They had bared their fangs, ready to pounce at any moment!

The Qin Army, on the other hand, had shield soldiers arrayed in front, spear soldiers closely following, and further back, Wang Li's Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army! All around the Army, infantry guarded against Xiongnu incursions!

At this moment, General Meng Tian was on a war chariot, located in the center of the grand formation. Riding in the same chariot with him was Prince Fusu. He was not wearing his usual casual attire as before, but like everyone else, he was armored and held a sword, standing to the side!

The two Armies faced each other, the atmosphere heavy, with only the sound of the breeze rustling through the green grass audible.

It was the same on Lin Yue's side, but this tense atmosphere was broken by She Jian.

"The one who came before was Modu, the Xiongnu Crown Prince," She Jian said.

"I know," Lin Yue nodded.

Wang Da Tou remained silent, and for a moment, the atmosphere grew even heavier.

She Jian was silent, and after a long while, he said, "The Right Wise King has withdrawn from the battlefield, and the Left Wise King is also suppressed by Yang Wengzi. The Xiongnu's previous arrogance has been completely shattered.

Now the tables have turned; Touman can no longer wait. The longer the situation drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him, so this is a desperate decisive battle initiated by Touman, and his last chance.

And the Great General's choice to attack at this time is also to decide the outcome in one battle, after all, our logistical pressure is not small either."

"What do you want to say?" Lin Yue asked.

She Jian was a bit strange today. Although She Jian had always analyzed the situation for him before, wanting him to grow, Lin Yue always felt that She Jian was a bit off today.

She Jian heard this and was silent, then grinned and said, "I want to say that since heaven has eyes and let me encounter Modu again, I must seize this opportunity to avenge Yang Shao.

This way, Yang Shao will not continue to be a wandering spirit and can be buried sooner."

Lin Yue was speechless for a moment upon hearing this. Yang Shao's body had been unburied for nearly half a year. While it was understandable in winter, with the current weather, it probably couldn't wait any longer.

Moreover, Yang Shao's son, Yang Dengshan, was still in the formation, serving as one of the three commanders of the White Horse Camp. This revenge must be exacted.

But Modu's strength was evident. He could stab Yang Shao to death with one spear, and it wasn't impossible for him to stab She Jian, a First-rate Military General, to death now.

Furthermore, the cavalry under his command were very strong. Lin Yue felt it was a pipe dream to kill Modu this time.

Immediately, he said, "You are not his opponent now."

"I'm here too," Wang Da Tou suddenly said. "He caused the death of my 80,000 brothers; I will make him pay with his life."

Actually, Lin Yue wanted to say that even when the two of them combined forces against a Xiongnu Military General before, they couldn't directly defeat him. Now, with the two of them teaming up against the even stronger Modu, Lin Yue was even less optimistic.

But the words of dissuasion reached his lips, and he, as if possessed, said, "Then count me... and my brother Zi Long. With him, suppressing Modu won't be a problem."

She Jian heard this and smiled, "Then what about your safety?"

"With the three generals of the Yang Family protecting me, and besides, in a large-scale battle, I'm not that conspicuous. I can still protect myself," Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Alright then," She Jian said no more. Although he hadn't directly fought Modu last night, he had asked Zong Ze and gained a clear understanding of Modu's strength: the realm of a Legendary General, which is to say, a so-called top-tier Military General. With just him and Wang Da Tou, they had no chance of winning.

That's why he had said so much to Lin Yue just now.

Because his goal from the very beginning was Zhao Yun. Only Zhao Yun could suppress Modu, and only then would the three of them have a chance to kill Modu!

Otherwise, not being able to avenge Yang Shao was secondary; the most important thing was that if Modu continued to grow, in the future they would have an even stronger opponent, an enemy even more troublesome than Touman!

How could one allow others to sleep soundly in his bed? With Modu around, more people would die.

"Zi Long, when the battle begins later, if you encounter Modu, you don't need to worry about me," Lin Yue said.

"Understood!" Zhao Yun responded.

"Actually, even so, I'm not very optimistic. After all, Modu is a top-tier Military General; if he wants to escape, Zi Long won't be able to stop him," Lin Yue thought for a moment and still said it.

He wasn't intentionally undermining his own prestige, but rather worried that She Jian and Wang Da Tou would become obsessed with killing Modu. Once such an obsession takes root in their hearts, it could very likely affect their rationality and judgment, and in a moment of impulse, it might allow the enemy to exploit a weakness!

"I know," She Jian smiled wryly, "You were still wearing open-crotch pants when I was fighting wars."

"Yeah, don't tell an old man how to do things," Wang Da Tou also said.

Lin Yue was speechless for a moment, but considering how miserable Wang Da Tou was, he didn't dwell on it.

"The Xiongnu cavalry are charging!" She Jian whispered.

Lin Yue looked up and saw approximately over 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry already charging first, led by a Xiongnu Military General!

And General Meng Tian also drew the long sword from his waist at this moment, pointing it towards the Xiongnu Army!

"Form up!"

Zhao Ben, positioned at the very front of the formation, roared loudly!
