An army of 50,000 was about to cross the river, right under the noses of 20,000 to 30,000 ferocious Hun enemy troops.
Ying saw it all and kept it in mind.
He couldn't wait any longer, not caring that speaking out now would undermine the commander's prestige!
If he waited any longer, all his 50,000 cavalry would be lost here, and he would have to go back to drinking in a daze.
"General Meng, we can't cross the river now! The enemy has already deployed their troops on the shore. Once our army has crossed half of the river and the enemy intercepts us halfway, our army will surely be defeated. It is better to wait until nightfall, when the Huns retreat, and then we can cross the river at night. It can be three o'clock in the morning, five o'clock in the morning, but we can't cross the river now. Please give the order!"
