At dawn, the sky was dim and the Golden Wolf King flag was flying in the wind. The 200,000 Huns army advanced along the boundless grassland. Along the way, only encountered the Han herders who bumped into fled in a panic. The grazing cattle and sheep became the on-tradition food of the Huns army. △↗
Halfway through the road, the Huns found that the situation was not right. The sun rose high and the plain was very quiet, with only herds of cattle and sheep abandoned by the Han herders.
"Bank of China said it!"
Junchen Shanyu said: "Tell me that the Han army does not appear nearby, but why did I not even encounter a county and a soldier?"
"I don't know either. Why would I grab a few tongues and ask about the situation?"
King Zuo Xian waved his hand and hundreds of cavalrymen rushed out like a gust of wind. The scattered cavalrymen rushed to all directions, but disappeared in a moment.
The Huns' army did not stop and still detoured south according to the original plan, but the marching speed was not as fast as the initial one, and the Huns were also puzzled by the Han army's reaction.
Logically, the Han army should have responded early and turned around in a hurry to intercept with all their strength. Therefore, the military minister Shanyu could use his strategies to fight to the decisive battle, and wiped out 300,000 main forces of the Han army in one go. As a result, the main enemies of the Han area completely disappeared, and the Han area became a pasture for the Huns to gallop.
But no one appeared. With the rich experience accumulated over the years of war, Junchen Shanyu smelled a breath of danger. He was not sure whether there was a huge danger ahead. It might be a great victory. It was more likely to be a terrible trap. The Huns could mock the Han people for their lack of cavalry and shooting skills. They could show off the great combat power of the king's cavalry, but the Huns would never say that the Han people were stupid. The Huns were just showing off their wisdom compared to the Han people.
The 300,000 Han troops gathered about half of the main forces of the Western Han Dynasty. It is difficult for the reserves to form combat effectiveness in the short term, but whether they can defeat the Han army as they wish is still unknown. The little king of the Huns can be optimistic, but the military minister Shanyu and Zuo Xianwang are not optimistic.
Wei Youqu followed the team a lot of hardships, but he did not enjoy the high-standard treatment of shrinking expectations. The Huns gave him a slow horse, a clumsy Hun slave, a slave's mount and a donkey, and allowed him to follow the main force of the Huns' Chanyu. Faced with many contempts and difficulties, Wei Youqu gritted his teeth and persevered.
He chooses the road himself, and he has to bear it no matter how hard or tired he is.
"No! The plain is too quiet!"
Weiyouqu looked around and screamed in surprise: "I want to see the Great Chanyu, let me go to see the Great Chanyu!"
The Hun warrior waved his arm and hit his shoulder. Wei Youqu lost balance and almost fell down from his slow horse. Fortunately, the slow horse was not fast and his steps were steady. When he found that Wei Youqu's body was shaking, he slowed down and moved forward slowly. Wei Youqu was shocked and angry: "Why are you pushing me!"
"Shut up, you bastard! The big kid explicitly prohibited the marching and made a loud noise, and then cut off your tongue with a shout."
Wei Youqu was so scared that his face turned pale. He had never seen a rude person. He received the specialized education of the Prince of the Joseon Dynasty since he was a child. He was not only proficient in Han rituals and wearing gorgeous Hanfu, but also his knowledge system came from the Han Empire. He liked the Huns only because of the blind admiration of force by young people, but when he approached the great Hun Empire that he once admired, what he saw was amazing roughness and ugliness.
Although he had been in the Han Empire for a short few months, he was not particularly happy. At least he would be respected as he should when he went to any place, and everything became unique on the Xiongnu grassland. The Human tribes like the Huns only hunt and plunder. It is the most common to raise bows, arrows and long swords to show their courage. They are full of barbarians.
"Damn Hun madman."
Wei Youqu cursed with gritted teeth, and his shoulders were still sore and weak. Children of aristocrats like him usually did not receive good treatment in the Huns, and even the Huns' own noble children were treated almost the same. The rude Huns did not think that the complex etiquette was very effective. Their stroking their chests and bowing were equivalent to the regular bowing ceremony of the Han family.
Zhao She quietly looked into the distance, her eyes swept across the quiet plain, and saw several cavalry teams returning quickly. The confusion and doubt that they had gained nothing were the best answer.
The pride on the grassland, the cavalry of the Huns' tents were nothing, and they didn't even catch a Han tongue.
"The Great Shanyu!"
The Bank of China said it was wrong: "Or we retreat first to confront the Han people for a few days, and wait for the tribes in the south of the desert to enter the Yamen County before deciding."
"You said, is this a trap?"
"The old slave thought it might be 70%."
"Mr. Zhao, what do you think?"
"I think there is a high probability that there are some problems."
Zhao She was calm and expressionless. He was not the Zhongzhan saying that he had the first to promote the cause. The old eunuchs jumped around and ran around in recent days. Even the Hun nobles who looked down on the Zhongzhan saying in the past must be particularly tolerant. The plan to destroy the Han army was as powerful as the Zhongzhan said. At present, the Huns were in unprecedented trouble. The Zhongzhan said that he was nervous and looked dissatisfied, but he could watch coldly.
The Bank of China said that he hoped he would say a few good things, but Zhao She was so good at pleading for the old eunuch slave. He rode his horse calmly and put on a look of contemplation. The reward of the first merit was long ago sent to him. He should bear the merits himself if they became mistakes. No one would kindly take the blame for him.
"Bank of China said! How did you say to me at the beginning? What did you say about the ambush of the Han army ahead of us?"
"I didn't expect that there was a problem with the three Han people. I thought they had been doing business with the Great Huns for more than ten years and should be a proper person, but what I didn't expect was..."
Junchen Shanyu waved his whip and slapped it on his face: "The humble old dog dares to argue! If you hadn't recommended it from behind, how could this Shanyu believe those three cunning merchants' nonsense?"
The Bank of China said he was knocked off his horse and covered his face and howled.
It would be better for anyone to be whipped for no reason, but the Bank of China said there was no anger or resentment because he knew that he would at least survive by whip. Junchen Shanyu beat him and said that he did not plan to kill people. If he didn't beat him, he would be really not far from death.
Zuo Xianwang brought cavalry to guard the flanks. At this time, he also rode his horse: "The Great Shanyu, the scouts found a flock of birds flying around in the mountains on the north side without falling for a long time. He suspected that the Han army was galloping from the valley in the east."
Junchen Shanyu looked eastward and saw that the distant green mountains could not be seen at the end. This place was the edge of the plateau area of the mountains and rivers inside and outside, so the rolling mountains were not as high as imagined. The hills were only a few hundred meters high, neither steep nor steep. There were also the valleys of Pingtan between the mountains, and the rivers in the valley were flowing gurgling.
There are endless dense forests on the mountain ridges, which are also a branch of the Loess Plateau. At this moment, the Loess Plateau has not yet transformed into a bare earth mountain. The dense vegetation covers the continuous mountain area. It has been an undeveloped primeval forest area since ancient times. Towering trees can be seen everywhere, while jackals, tigers and leopards are entrenched.
Looking up the mountain, you can see gray and white birds flying around. What is strange is that the birds did not scattered and catching insects and feeding them, but circled around the mountains.
Junchen Shanyu was furious and said, "Wouldn't it be better for the Han army to chase us? Order the army to set up a formation to fight."
"Not good! The camp inside the mouth was attacked."
"What?" Junchen Shanyu's face changed rapidly.
Half an hour ago, the Han army's raid troops appeared in front of the Huns camp in the mouth.
The red cavalry slowly stopped outside the Xiongnu's promise. The 100,000 iron cavalry raised a big banner and wrote the six big words "Car General Cao Shi".
The remaining Xiongnu nobles were extremely nervous. Although there were as many as 80,000 left-behind troops, all the elite cavalry of the king followed the military minister Shanyu to fight in a roundabout way. The 80,000 cavalry in the camp were not even considered elite. Even if they were not picking the remaining old, weak and remnants, they would never be separated. What's more, there were more than 50,000 noble relatives from the Shanyu Court in the camp.
"Go and report the message to the Great Shanyu!"
The Hun nobles sent more than a dozen cavalry messengers to gallop southwest.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
The deafening sound of war drums was the drum that urged the Huns to fight. The sound of war drums also warned the Huns that the war would begin soon. Don’t think that you can survive by guarding simple and crude camps.
The Hun nobles stared at the Han army hatred and cursed: "Hans who bully the weak and fear the strong, wait! Our Great Shanyu will return to the army to save us immediately, and then it will be your death."
The drum sound of the Han army did not stop. But in a short while, a group of black-armored cavalry appeared under the banner.
"Black...black cavalry!" The Hun nobles changed their faces.
Zhao Xin hid among the Hun nobles and shivered with his legs. He was very afraid of the fierce black armored cavalry. What was even more terrifying was that a large number of black armored cavalry appeared on the opposite side.
"Crazy! Han people work part-time, with more than 10,000 black armored cavalry, they are just a group of madmen!"
The Hun nobles were extremely conflicted. The Hun tribes in the south of the desert were all afraid of black armored cavalry, but they looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Han people. Under this contradiction, they made wrong judgments.
Keep waiting, hold on and wait for rescue.
The Huns' idea was to drag it down, and sooner or later, they could drag it to the Huns' army back to rescue. After all, the main force of the army was not far away. The Han army on the opposite side was roughly estimated to be about 100,000 cavalry. Half of the more than 80,000 cavalry guarding the camp and half of the 50,000 relatives could ride a horse and draw a bow. The fierce Hun women picked up the bow and arrow and were considered a warrior, and the full battle was enough for 100,000 cavalry.
"General!"
Cao Shi pulled out his battle knife and shouted: "The whole army attacks, targeting the enemy Huns in front of him!"
Suddenly, the 100,000 cavalrymen were like arrows that broke away from the strings, and they rushed out like a flood shouting and killing. The group of black-armored cavalry in the red iron stream was the most conspicuous, they were the arrows of the Han army.
