Originally, the left and right wings of the Xiongnu forces were supposed to arrive on the battlefield within two quarters of an hour—at most one—after the Left Wise King initiated the battle. This would have formed an inescapable encirclement around Zhao Wuji, Prince of Jin, preventing any possibility of escape.
