Outside the house, the silver sparrows in the spiritual altar sang, and the sun was rising in the sky.
On the left side of Shanglin County, Han Xin was sitting in the middle of the camp, looking at the information sent back by the scouts.
Outside the camp, Wang Li, who was wearing black armor and holding a long sword, hurriedly walked in.
"General Han, we've found traces of the Hu. There should be more than two thousand of them. They would reach Shanglin in half a day at most.”
As Wang Li spoke, he took a bowl of water from Han Xin's table and poured it down his throat.
At the same time, his eyes were filled with excitement.
Yesterday, their light cavalry had already arrived at Shanglin.
Originally, he had some doubts about Han Xin's strategic deployment.
He felt that the Hu would never come here.
However, he did not expect that in less than a day, the other party would actually appear.
This slightly changed Wang Li's opinion of Han Xin.
"Only two thousand people? Did you see it clearly?"
Although Han Xin was a little out of tune at other times, he had unparalleled talent and self-awareness when it came to war.
This was his first show.
But in terms of tactics, he maintained absolute seriousness.
He wanted to fight beautifully in this battle.
He wanted to show off the dominance of Great Qin's elite soldiers and Han Xin's prestige to everyone.
Ying Zi Xuan valued him, Han Xin, because Young Master had discerning eyes.
He was nothing but a clay chicken and a pottery dog.
"Reporting to General, the scouts have patrolled the area three times. There is no mistake in the number of people.”
Wang Li, who was initially excited, immediately perked up when he saw Han Xin's serious expression.
The frivolity in his words also dissipated.
"Our scouts are equipped with four clairvoyants provided by the Mo family. In an open area like the grasslands, we discovered the enemy's troops from extremely far away.”
When Wang Li mentioned the Clairvoyant, he was also shocked.
It was just a simple bamboo tube.
As long as it was placed in front of his eyes, he could see the grass and leaves on the ground several miles away clearly.
This thing was simply too useful.
When he looked at it with the naked eye, it was still a small black dot.
With his clairvoyant eyes, he could even see the person's appearance clearly.
It was because of this that their scouts were able to detect the Hu vanguard in advance and avoid them, allowing them to observe the enemy's main force from afar.
"If the other party didn't notice us, then it would be much more interesting. In this battle, we must try to annihilate the other party."
Han Xin looked at the map and placed a few small flag-like objects on the map. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Wang Li, go and call Meng Huo over. You two will be in charge of leading the team for this battle. Let the Deputy General of the Liu Family be in charge of cutting off the enemy's retreat. After this battle, I will report your battle achievements back to Xianyang.”
"It's true! Brother Han, we came here secretly. If you report our names back directly like this, it will be difficult for you to explain to His Majesty, right? How about this, Meng Cui and I can lead the team, and you can just find someone to take the credit.”
"Hey, did I hear you guys talking about me just now? Are we going to fight?"
"General, we are here."
"Are those Hu that Gou Liang raised coming?”
...
While Han Xin was speaking, all the deputy generals slowly walked in.
This time, the five thousand light cavalry had arranged for him to have three assistants.
The two empty seats were naturally reserved for Meng Huo and Wang Li.
However, these two fools had yet to react. On the second day of departure, they were caught by Han Xin.
When they were captured, Han Xin immediately had them tied up and sent back to Xianyang City.
This made these two fools extremely angry.
Later on, after Wang Li's emotional and logical persuasion, Han Xin reluctantly accepted them.
However, because they had sneaked into the military camp without permission, the two of them each received 20 lashes.
With just twenty lashes, Wang Li and Meng Huo began to respect Han Xin from the bottom of their hearts.
Because he kept the two of them but beat them up.
This meant that he was not afraid of the forces behind them.
He was only moved by their 'spirit'.
From then on, these two troublemakers, who were always naughty at home, immediately regarded Han Xin as their soulmate.
"Alright, since everyone's here, I'll tell you the specific plan. Wang Li, Meng Cui, you two will lead two thousand men to ambush here. According to the Hu's current speed, they will definitely be cooking near Lake Yuandi, which is five kilometers away, at noon. Once they are done, they will be able to take down Shanglin County in one go."
"As for the two of you, at noon, you will lead your troops to attack and catch the enemy off guard.”
"Yes!"
"Liu Xi, Wang Ran, the two of you are responsible for leading two thousand people and surrounding them from the back. Once Wang Li and the others start to attack, the two of you will charge out from both sides of the enemy and break through their formation.”
"Lin Chu, bring the rest of the people and prepare some rations and water. The compressed rations that Young Master Xuan prepared for us should also be good. After the battle is over, the remaining team will be responsible for clearing the path. Once the battle is over, we will immediately begin our assault!”
"Yes!"
After Han Xin gave the order.
The five deputies began to work quickly according to their own tasks.
5,000 against 2,000.
This battle did not need to be so serious.
However, considering that they still had to charge into the enemy's territory, Han Xin had to ensure that his forces were as strong as possible.
After everything was arranged, all that was left was to wait.
The sun gradually rose in the sky.
Under the cover of a small hill, Wang Li and Meng Cui held their halberds and broadswords, their sharp eyes looking at the sun in the sky.
Time passed slowly until the sun was high in the sky and their shadows completely overlapped with their bodies.
A servant on a fast horse rushed down from the top of the hill.
"General Wang Li, General Meng Huo, the brothers at the front have given the signal.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Li immediately tightened his grip on the broadsword in his hand.
Pulling the reins, he turned around and roared at the two thousand cavalry behind him.
"Brothers, it's time to make contributions! Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Wind…"
The three loud roars caused the cavalry's momentum to reach its peak.
Seeing this, Wang Li no longer hesitated.
After turning his horse around, he looked at the direction of the enemy camp that the scouts had reported.
"Let's go and kill them all!"
"Charge!"
Meng Cui roared like a madman and rushed out.
Wang Li did not want to be outdone. He pulled the reins and kicked.
The warhorse charged out like an arrow.
With the encouragement of the two of them, the cavalry behind them also followed excitedly as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
In the Hu camp ten li away.
Completely unaware of the danger that was quietly approaching, they were still recuperating and planning to catch Lin off guard.
In their camp, a few of the vanguard generals were still discussing how many women and men to capture and kill after they broke through the Upper Forest.
However, they didn't know that they, who thought they were hunters, had already become prey.
