After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages

Chapter 312: A game within a game, is this a trap?

In the temporary camp of the Northern Barbarians, Huyan Huan looked at the increasingly brighter dawn in the sky, but he still felt anxious in his heart.

Although the battle under the cover of night gave him a sense of victory, as time went on, this sense of victory was gradually replaced by uneasiness.

In fact, throughout the entire night, Hu Yanhuan ordered his men to launch an attack almost every half hour.

Although the rebels had been well prepared, they could only suffer in silence under the cover of darkness and were unable to fight back effectively.

Such a war of attrition certainly exhausted the rebels, but at the same time, the soldiers under his command also gradually felt the strain.

After all, he didn't have many troops under his command, and in order to be absolutely sure, he sent out elite soldiers, so there was no possibility of rotation.

Hu Yanhuan clenched his fists, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that this situation could not continue, and he had to find a way to turn the tide of the war.

Now it seems that they have the initiative, but the more this happens, the more they cannot let down their guard. According to his understanding of Lin Zhongyun, Lin Zhongyun is definitely not the kind of person who would surrender without a fight.

"Lin Zhongyun, what are you waiting for?" Hu Yanhuan thought to himself, his brows furrowed and his thoughts in confusion.

He felt vaguely uneasy. Until now, Lin Zhongyun had not made a move. There were only two possibilities: one was that the current situation was not so bad that it was worth him to fight to the death in Lin Zhongyun's eyes; the other was that Lin Zhongyun had not made any move.
Another possibility is that Lin Zhongyun is secretly planning a larger-scale counterattack, waiting for the best opportunity, and once he strikes, it will be a fatal blow.

"I can't let him have such an opportunity." Hu Yanhuan made a secret decision, knowing that he must find a way to crack Lin Zhongyun's plan before it matures.

He stared into the distance, his thoughts surging, thinking about how to use the limited military force to fight a beautiful turnaround battle.

At this time, the pale sky at the edge of the sky had gradually turned golden, and the sky was getting brighter. He felt very conflicted.

Once the sky gets light, the advantages of night combat will gradually turn into relative disadvantages during the day.

He knew that by then, they would certainly not be able to harass the rebels as frequently as they did now.

"A decision must be made before dawn." Hu Yanhuan pursed his lips, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He wondered in his heart how to turn the situation around at this critical moment.

He swept his eyes over the soldiers in the camp. They all looked tired, but their eyes were shining with fighting spirit. It was obvious that no one wanted to retreat.

"If we can find a breakthrough, perhaps we can break through Lin Zhongyun's defense in one fell swoop." Hu Yanhuan thought to himself, his thoughts racing.

He decided to make a bold attempt, taking advantage of the last chance of a night battle to catch the rebels off guard.

"Prepare all the cavalry and select the most elite warriors. We will launch a final all-out raid tonight!" Hu Yanhuan suddenly gave a loud order. His voice echoed in the camp, inspiring every soldier.

He knew it would be a risk, but it was also his only chance.

"Yes, General!" The soldiers responded one after another. Although they were tired, they were encouraged by Hu Yanhuan and their morale was high. They began to organize their equipment and prepare for the upcoming battle.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Hu Yanhuan's heart. He knew very well that only at this critical moment could he defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and pave the way for the future of the Northern Barbarians.

There was a determination gleam in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"Give me some more time, and when it's completely light, we will be able to find the rebels' weaknesses." Hu Yanhuan secretly calculated in his mind and decided to carefully observe the movements of the rebels before taking action.

He knew that any small mistake could cause their plan to fail, so he had to proceed with caution.

As time passed, the pale sky was gradually swallowed up by the golden sunlight, and Hu Yanhuan became more and more nervous.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, keeping his eyes fixed on the rebel camp, waiting for the decisive moment.

"Lin Zhongyun, this day next year will be the day you die!" Hu Yanhuan secretly swore in his heart, ready to go all out in the upcoming battle and never let any opportunity slip away.

At the same time, Hu Yanhuan turned his head to look at the deputy general beside him and said in a deep voice: "Where is General Hu Yanzhong? Why hasn't he come back? Also, have you contacted the Khan?"

He estimated the time in his mind. Like the previous two raids, Huyan Zhong's raids shouldn't take that long, unless something unexpected happened.

Thinking of this, Huyan Huan's heart tightened. He knew very well that at this critical moment, if Huyan Zhong had an accident, then the morale he had accumulated with great difficulty would most likely be destroyed, and that would be a disaster.

"General, General Huyan Zhong should be here soon." The deputy general beside him replied in a deep voice, "But the Khan did receive a reply. As soon as he saw the general attack, he led his army to join us.

We have also informed the Khan of the general's plan, and the Khan is very supportive and has ordered a fast horse to come."

The deputy general said, and after estimating the sky, he continued, "According to the itinerary, the Khan and his men will definitely be here before dawn."

Hu Yanhuan felt relieved when he heard this, but he knew that the situation was still not optimistic. He nodded, and although he felt relieved, his eyes remained firm.

He knew that even if reinforcements were about to arrive, he could not just sit and wait and had to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

"Well, time waits for no one. Order everyone to be ready to attack at any time." Hu Yanhuan glanced at the direction of the rebel army with clear eyes and ordered in a cold voice, "Wait for the Khan to join us, and we must launch a round of attack on the rebel army before dawn."

The deputy general clearly sensed Hu Yanhuan's anxiety, but he was a little confused and whispered, "General, we already have such a big advantage, why do we still need to launch an attack? What if the Khan doesn't arrive on time?"

In his opinion, their advantage is already huge. Doing this would be a huge risk. If they fail, the loss would outweigh the gain.

However, his worry did not cause Hu Yanhuan to hesitate. Hu Yanhuan hesitated for a moment, his eyes showed determination, and he replied: "The advantage is temporary. On the battlefield, the only constant is change.

We must take the initiative and seize the initiative in the battle. Even if the Khan fails to arrive on time, we must do our best to weaken the enemy and create favorable conditions for subsequent battles."

He paused, a sharp look flashing in his eyes, “Besides, I believe the Khan will arrive on time.

This attack before dawn is crucial for us. Whether we can defeat the rebels in one fell swoop today depends on this one move."

Listening to Hu Yanhuan's words, the deputy general still had doubts in his heart and said hesitantly: "But there is no such thing as a third time. If we attack again and again, I am afraid that the rebels will set up an ambush.

If we fall into their trap, wouldn't that mean all our efforts will be wasted?"

Hu Yanhuan frowned slightly. He understood that the deputy general's worries were not unreasonable, but there was no way out at this time. Only by facing the difficulties head-on could the situation be improved.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I understand your concerns, but this is not the time to hesitate. The enemy is also exhausted. We can only win with courage and strategy. Pass the order to strengthen reconnaissance and avoid unnecessary losses. Prepare to fight back. The arrival of the Khan will be the clarion call for our victory."

He looked determined, and he was also whispering in his heart that this attack could not fail. He had to launch the attack no matter what, no matter how great the risk was.

Seeing Hu Yanhuan was so stubborn, the deputy general stopped trying to dissuade him and started making arrangements quickly.

Hu Yanhuan stood on a high place in the camp, looking at the rebel camp in the distance with sharp eyes, secretly thinking about how to take advantage of the upcoming dawn and seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

As time passed, the pale sky gradually spread, and Hu Yanhuan knew that time was running out.

He began to mobilize his scouts, ordering them to conduct more detailed reconnaissance around the rebel army to ensure that they had a grasp of the enemy's movements before attacking.

"Let every scout stay in touch and report the enemy situation at any time." He said to his officers, his tone full of urgency, "We must ensure that the enemy has no ambush before launching an attack."

The scouts quickly dispersed and moved flexibly across the grassland, looking for the most advantageous observation point.

Hu Yanhuan returned to the camp, constantly thinking about how to maximize their advantages in the upcoming battle.

"If we can launch an attack before daybreak, the rebels will be caught off guard." He thought to himself, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that only by seizing this opportunity could he gain more initiative for the Northern Barbarians.

……

At this time, Yuan Jingxin, who had been lurking early on under the orders of Lin Zhongyun, was hiding in the darkness, carefully observing the movements around him, secretly planning in his mind, waiting for the best opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Despite the darkness of the night, he could sense tension in the air, as if a storm was brewing.

Yuan Jingxin was extremely nervous and his face was extremely solemn. He turned around and whispered to his subordinates behind him: "No one is allowed to take the initiative to attack without my order. Stay in ambush and wait for the opportunity."

His voice was low and firm, revealing a sense of authority.

He knew very well that the few men under his command could at best only carry out a quick raid when the Northern Barbarians relaxed their vigilance. It would be impossible to win if he launched a frontal assault.

After all, even with the cover of night, the number of troops he could bring with him was limited. If he attacked rashly, he would be exposed to the eyes of the Northern Barbarians, with disastrous consequences.

Yuan Jingxin’s primary goals were, firstly, to undermine the morale of the Northern Barbarians, and secondly, to try to figure out who was behind these raids.

He thought to himself that he must confirm whether Chagan Uli had arrived. Only in this way could they launch an effective counterattack after dawn.

Otherwise, even when daybreak came, they would be like headless flies, with no confidence of fighting back.

At this moment, a deputy general lying beside him panted softly and said, "General, look, there seems to be some movement ahead."

Yuan Jingxin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few figures in the darkness getting closer and closer to them. There was also the slight sound of horse hooves, which seemed to be the Northern Barbarian cavalry returning.

"No, everyone hide!" He did not dare to hesitate for a moment and shouted in a low voice, asking everyone to hide quickly to avoid being discovered by the Northern Barbarians.

After all, in this dark night, if the enemy is alert, the possibility of discovering them is very high.

"Quick, lie down, don't move!" The lieutenants reacted quickly, lowered their bodies, hid behind the grass, held their breath, and waited for the approaching enemy.

Yuan Jingxin's heart was tense, and his eyes were fixed on the movement in front of him. He knew that this group of barbarians was none other than the elite troops led by Hu Yanzhong who had just returned from attacking the camp.

Every soldier had a ferocious and stern look on his face. It was obvious that they had just experienced a fierce battle, and their bodies were filled with a mixture of fatigue and excitement.

"They don't look relaxed. It seems they have encountered some obstacles." Yuan Jingxin thought to himself, his thoughts racing.

He knew that if he could launch a surprise attack on Hu Yanzhong's troops at this time, he might be able to disrupt the rhythm of the Northern Barbarians and give the rebels a chance to counterattack.

"Keep quiet and don't let them find us." He whispered to the deputy general beside him, with a sharp look in his eyes.

At this moment, the silent night became their best cover, and any sound could cause their plan to fail.

As Hu Yanzhong's troops gradually approached, Yuan Jingxin thought that if he could launch an attack before they were fully alert, he might be able to weaken the morale of the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop.

He secretly decided to launch a surprise attack as soon as the enemy passed by them.

"Get ready and be on standby at any time!" He ordered in a low voice, praying silently in his heart that this raid would be successful and change the course of the battle.

At this moment, Hu Yanzhong's troops finally came into Yuan Jingxin's sight.

Their horses looked a little tired in the night, and the soldiers' expressions also revealed some tension and vigilance. Yuan Jingxin knew that the opportunity was right in front of him.

"Now!" he shouted in a low voice, leading his soldiers to rush out from their hiding place and rush directly towards Hu Yanzhong's troops.

The sudden attack in the dark of night caught the Northern Barbarian soldiers off guard and plunged them into chaos in an instant.

"Kill!" Yuan Jingxin roared, weapon in hand, charging forward, with a fearless fighting spirit burning in his heart.

As Yuan Jingxin led his team to attack, the entire battlefield instantly became chaotic, and the Northern Barbarian soldiers lost their organization in this sudden attack.

Yuan Jingxin knew that the chance of victory was right before his eyes, and he had to go all out and never give the enemy a chance to counterattack.

"I've been waiting for you!"

However, when Yuan Jingxin rushed out, Hu Yanzhong's eyes did not show a look of fear, but an extremely cold sneer, "Come here, kill him!"

"Swish!" Huyan Zhong shouted loudly and rushed towards Yuan Jingxin and the others like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

The Northern Barbarians under his command had just experienced a fierce battle, and their blood was still hot, so they were not afraid at all.

"Oh no, could this be a trap?" Yuan Jingxin was stunned by the scene in front of him, "A game within a game?"
