Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2481 The Military Genius Secretly Enters the Front Camp, and the Decisive Battle Between Han and Liao Officially Begins

Late at night, inside the Han army's main tent, Hulü Guang was still awake in the central command tent.

In recent days, Yelü Abaoji's offensive has become increasingly fierce, making it more and more difficult for Hulü Guang to handle.

Therefore, even in the dead of night, he was still fiddling with the sand table, thinking about how to fight the battle the next day.

Suddenly, the tent flap was silently lifted by a large hand, and a tall and burly figure stepped in first—it was Xing Tian.

He stepped aside like a silent guardian.

Immediately afterward, a man dressed in an ordinary soldier's uniform, with a bit of soot on his face, followed him in with his head down.

Hulü Guang didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that Xing Tian had brought his personal guards. But when he subconsciously glanced at the "soldier's" face, he was suddenly shocked as if struck by lightning.

In shock, he almost dropped the teacup he was using to stay awake.

"Greetings, General!" In the darkness of the night, Huli Guang looked solemnly at the person who had quietly arrived at the camp and quickly took a few steps to pay his respects.

The visitor was none other than Han Xin, the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

Han Xin's appearance went unnoticed. He was disguised as a soldier accompanying Xing Tian, ​​and apart from Xing Tian and Hulü Guang in front of him, no one else in the entire camp knew about it.

Han Xin put a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, and quickly scanned the tent to make sure no one else was there.

Xing Tian tacitly retreated to the tent entrance, blocking the entrance like a mountain and isolating the inside from the outside.

"Mingyue, you've worked so hard these past few days!"

"No one is to know that I am here tonight!" Han Xin instructed.

“This…this subordinate understands!” Hulü Guang replied quickly.

Although Hulü Guang was no match for Han Xin in commanding troops and fighting, he was still a famous general. After a brief moment of shock, he realized the purpose of Han Xin's secret visit.

This is clearly a last-minute change of commander, intended to catch Yelü Abaoji off guard.

Tomorrow, if Yelü Abaoji uses the same methods he used against him against Han Xin, he will surely be able to take advantage of Han Xin's unpreparedness and inflict a great loss on him.

However, at this time, Hulü Guang obviously did not expect that Han Xin was not just thinking about making Yelü Abaoji suffer a small loss, but about fighting a decisive battle with Yelü Abaoji ahead of schedule.

If Han Xin's intention was merely to inflict a minor loss on Yelü Abaoji, he would never have come so secretly; Yelü Abaoji wouldn't have warranted such a grand gesture from him.

Han Xin deceived everyone, including his own generals, by secretly getting up late at night to plan a last-minute change of commander the next day. This was not just a calculated move to outmaneuver Yelü Abaoji, but also a scheme to outmaneuver the commander-in-chief.

At the same time, it was also to outmaneuver Yelü Abaoji in the final offensive.

Could Yelü Abaoji have imagined that he would abandon his numerical advantage and instead launch a decisive battle against Yelü Abaoji with inferior forces?

One way to win is to use overwhelming military strength to advance step by step and defeat the enemy with overwhelming power.

However, using strategy to outmaneuver the unprepared, taking them by surprise, and winning with fewer troops is also a way to achieve victory.

………………

Yelü Abaoji led nearly 200,000 troops, pressing towards the Han Dynasty like a dark cloud pressing down on a city.

This is an offensive that has not been seen in more than half a month.

Previously, although Yelü Abaoji had launched relentless attacks, he had never managed to cripple all of his troops. "Just as I predicted, Yelü Abaoji is about to launch a general offensive!" Inside the military tent, Han Xin, behind the screen, spoke confidently after hearing the report from the messenger outside.

Just like last night, only Han Xin and Hulü Guang were in the entire tent. Or rather, only the two of them were in the inner tent, while the rest of the generals were waiting for orders in the outer tent.

Han Xin did not distrust his own generals, but he wanted to prevent Yelü Abaoji from receiving any news that he had secretly arrived at the camp.

Everything should be planned in secret first, and then by one's own people. The more people who know, the greater the risk of leaks.

"Mingyue, let the soldiers go out of the camp to meet the enemy!" Han Xin ordered without hesitation.

Hulü Guang nodded silently, then walked out of the inner tent and gave orders to the generals in the outer tent.

In Han Xin's absence, he would naturally be in charge. But now that Han Xin has arrived, he only needs to follow Han Xin's orders.

Both were relatively early generals, and they worked together for a long time. Hulü Guang had been fighting under Han Xin since the time when he joined forces with the three kings to attack the court of Huangfu Mingzhao.

Hulü Guang had no doubt about Han Xin's abilities.

"Your Majesty, the Han army has marched out of the camp!" On the command platform within the Dongyi army's already arrayed formation, the strategist Gu Yiduocha stared in astonishment at the scene ahead.

"How is this possible?" Yelü Abaoji also stood up in shock and began to look towards the direction of the Han army camp.

At such a distance, the view is naturally quite blurry.

However, the sight of a massive, dark mass of soldiers emerging from their camp and forming ranks, the boundless military formation, was still clearly visible.

“Your Majesty, something is amiss. The Han army’s initiative to leave their camp to meet the enemy must be suspicious!” Gu Yiduocha immediately spoke up.

Yelü Abaoji nodded silently. Of course he understood this principle. How could there not be a problem with the Han army, which was outnumbered, taking the initiative to come out of the camp to engage in battle?

"Did the Han army on the other side of the river launch a large-scale crossing operation last night?" Yelü Abaoji asked in a heavy tone.

"No!" Gu Yiduo replied directly.

Wherever there was a place where one could cross the river, they sent several groups of people to watch over it; in fact, these included not only soldiers but also martial arts masters.

Small-scale river crossings involving dozens or hundreds of people might be able to be concealed, but once a river crossing involves thousands or even tens of thousands of people, it becomes impossible to hide it from their observation.

Not to mention the so-called large-scale troop crossing.

Therefore, Gu Yiduo's answer on this point was quite confident.

"In that case, the arrow is on the bowstring, and it must be released!"

"Since the Han army has taken the initiative to leave the camp, then our army should launch a full-scale attack!" Yelü Abaoji said through gritted teeth.

With Yelü Abaoji's abilities, he certainly couldn't have failed to discern the size and composition of a military formation.

Based on the size of the enemy's formation, he was able to roughly estimate that the enemy's numbers were probably within their expectations.

Furthermore, after confirming that no large-scale Han army troops had crossed the river again, Yelü Abaoji ultimately decided not to change his plans.

Military orders cannot be changed overnight. He has already deployed nearly 200,000 troops in a grand manner. If they are scared away like this, the morale of the army will surely plummet. How can we fight the next battle?

Furthermore, at this time, Yelü Abaoji was already considering whether the Han army's initiative to leave the camp was a deliberate feint by the enemy.
