Hanhou

Longcheng was built by the Xiongnu. It is nearly ten miles from north to south and three miles from east to west.The military minister Shan Yu led the army to the south. In order to ensure the stability of the rear, [-] warriors were stationed in the city, and [-] herdsmen were able to fight.

In his opinion, given the location of Longcheng, such a defense force is enough.It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. When encountering the Han army who saw through the Huns' battle plan and planned to draw their salaries from the bottom, it is doomed that Longcheng will be lost.

The Han army arrived in the evening.

At that time, there was a strong wind on the grassland, flying sand and rocks, and snow fell from the sky.The two faced each other, and their line of sight could only reach five paces away, and the wind and snow blocked everything else.

The destination is close at hand, and the sound of the wind covers up the horseshoes crushing the snow.

In front of the army, Wei Yue raised his right arm, and the team stopped advancing.

"Detective."

"promise!"

The scouts were ordered to go first, sneaked close to Longcheng in the snowstorm, checked the garrison troops and the number of herdsmen, and immediately rushed to report.

"General, this battle is not good." Zhou Juecao went out with the army, wearing armor at this moment, standing beside Wei Yue.

"If you are not good, you have to fight." Wei Yue slowly drew out his long knife, pointed it straight at Longcheng, and raised his voice, "Blow the horn!"

Before the words fell, the desolate sound of the horn tore through the wind and snow, echoing between the heaven and the earth.

The Xiongnu cavalry and herdsmen were alarmed and walked out of their tents one after another. They couldn't help being shocked when they saw the black figure galloping in the snow.

"Enemy attack!"

"It's the Han army!"

The captain of the Xiongnu, Wan Chang, and the Xiangguo who stayed behind shouted orders, and summoned soldiers and herdsmen to mount their horses to meet the powerful enemy.

They have no time to think about why the Han army appeared in the hinterland of the grassland, and they dare not guess whether the army going south has encountered any accidents. If they don't want to be killed by the raiding Han army, they must put aside all distracting thoughts, devote themselves to the battle, and fight the opponent desperately!

"Come with me!"

Wan Changfei, the Xiongnu, mounted his horse and gathered thousands of fully armed cavalry behind him.

Those who stayed behind in Longcheng were all elites, and they were the last family property of the military minister Shan Yu.Even if he hastily confronted him, he could still organize the defense as quickly as possible, and then launch a counterattack. His actions were very methodical, and there was no panic at all.

Before being called to Chang'an, Wei Yue was stationed in Yunzhong County. He often led Yunzhong Riders to clean up the grasslands.

Coupled with the special terrain of Longcheng, when he made the battle plan, he knew very well that night attacks and sneak attacks would not have much effect. To take down the Xiongnu here, he must use the most direct method, fighting head-on, blade against blade, Kill the opponent off the horse.

The north wind roared, and the six flew out.

In such bad weather, without a thick leather robe, you will inevitably be frozen.Fighting in such an environment can be called "crazy".

However, the Han army did not follow common sense.

The army can enter the grassland in winter, take down the troops of King Aries and King Loufan, and still be able to withstand the wind and snow and break through the place where the Xiongnu sacrificed to heaven!

woo-

In the strong wind, all the shouts of killing were swallowed up, except for the continuous sound of horns.

Black cavalry approached in the wind and snow, their horses continued to accelerate, and a large white mist formed in front of their muzzles and noses.The knight on the horse holds a long knife in his hand, the armor covers his whole body, and his face is also covered with iron armor, like a god of death who came from the ancient times, gathering evil spirits all over his body, vowing to tear the enemy to pieces.

The Han flag was torn in the wind, hunting and hunting, as if alive.

The blade brushed against the scabbard, reflecting a large amount of snow light.

The horns of the Huns sounded, and the warriors and herdsmen got on their horses one after another, holding bows and arrows, bronze knives, bone knives and stone axes, and rushed towards the Han cavalry with strange screams.

The snow fell more and more, and the earth was covered with a layer of silver.

Shrouded in evil spirit, the horses kept rushing forward, crashing and biting frantically.The cavalry confronted each other head-on, like turbulent waves hitting the shore, and huge waves hitting each other.The buzzing of swords and swords continued, a large amount of blood rained down, and the white earth was dyed scarlet.

The Han cavalry and the Xiongnu approached so fast that they didn't even have a chance to draw their bows and arrows, and they fought hand-to-hand while galloping.

The battle has been heated from the very beginning.

Han Qi stepped into the grassland with the belief that he must die. If he fails, he will be benevolent.In order to protect the place where they sacrificed to heaven, the Xiongnu did not hesitate to use themselves as a wall, and they would surely fight to the last man.

Both are elites, fighting only to kill the enemy.

Even if the sword is added to the body, as long as it does not hurt the vitals, it will continue to charge and fight.

However, in the past, the Xiongnu attacked the border, and the Han army passively defended.This time the roles were reversed, and the Han cavalry went straight to Longcheng. If the Huns didn't want to lose the sacrificial land and the golden body, they had to do whatever they could.

Outside Longcheng, it is destined to become a pool of blood.

Wei Yue took the lead, slashing the long knife in his hand, and the black armor was covered with a layer of blood ice.

There were only 3000 Han cavalry, but they smashed through the defenses of the Huns time and time again.After several charges, there were less than [-] of the [-] Hun cavalry left, and the Hun herdsmen suffered heavy casualties.

"This is a group of devils!"

Standing on the city wall, the old priest saw the black armored cavalry tearing apart the battle formation, and the horseshoes stepped on the blood of the soldiers. He held up his wooden staff, his old body straightened up, and shouted a sacrificial speech in the snow, asking the gods Bless Longcheng and drive out these terrible demons.

"God!"

The old priest cut his cheek with a knife and let the blood flow, then took out a bone dagger and stabbed it hard into his chest.

"Drain the last drop of blood and sacrifice my life to the heavens!"

The death of the priest made the Huns even more vicious.

The soldiers were all dead, and all the herdsmen took up their weapons and rushed to the Han cavalry desperately.

After a fierce battle, Wei Yue has less than [-] soldiers under his command.Facing the rushing Huns, the Han cavalry re-arranged and did not charge again, but took the initiative to distance themselves. The cavalry in the front row pulled their hand crossbows, and the cavalry in the back row pulled their horn bows.

Another two teams of cavalry took up special longbows, the bows were close to two meters, the range was longer, and the arrows were stronger, which could easily penetrate five layers of leather armor.

Seeing the actions of the Han cavalry, the Xiongnu also made adjustments, and quickly separated more than a thousand people, ready to shoot against the Han army.

Although there are no more soldiers left, Wan Chang, Xiangguo, and Du Wei have all become the souls of the opposite Han generals, the Huns in Longcheng are still ten times the number of the Han army. , can also completely drag them to death!

hum!

The sound of string control sounded one after another, and iron arrows and bone arrows intersected in midair.Because it is too dense, collisions will inevitably occur. The bone arrows of the Huns fell one after another, and some even broke in half in mid-air.

The rain of arrows was overwhelming, and the Huns lacked shields, so they could only block with weapons.

However, they can block the force of the bullhorn bow, but they cannot block the longbow.More than a hundred arrows struck at the head, and dozens of Huns were directly pierced through their chests and flew off their horses.

"continue."

Wei Yue tore open the hem of the cotton coat, not to bandage the wound on her shoulder, but to tie the long knife to her hand.

When the Han army shot the empty quiver, they all made the same move.

The comrades have fallen, and the next one may be me.Before that, they must kill more enemies and strive to burn the city of Longcheng!

The last wave of arrows flew out, and the Han army ran out of arrows.

There were still more than [-] Xiongnu on the opposite side, and they rushed over in a black mass, with an astonishing momentum.

Han Qi had no fear at all.

More than a dozen fierce soldiers even picked up arrow pots, imitating the Shaling infantry, and threw them vigorously at the charging Huns.Amidst the whistling sound, several Xiongnu were hit head-on, and fell onto their horses with blood on their faces.

"kill!"

Wei Yue yanked the reins violently, and the black horseman stood up. The horse's neck was solidified with red markings, which were the wounds left by the Xiongnu warhorses in the previous battle.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

More than a thousand Han cavalry shouted at the same time, and rushed towards the enemy several times their own with an unrivaled momentum.

At this moment, there was a chirping sound in the sky, followed by the familiar sound of horns in the wind and snow.

The banner with the characters "Han" jumped out of the horizon, and nearly ten thousand cavalry galloped to it.The leading general was none other than Li Xi, the Han general who commanded the battle of Mayi.

"Kill the enemy!"

As the battlefield got closer and closer, Li Xi didn't form a team, and directly pointed his blade forward, and the Han army charged under the city of Longcheng, sweeping like a rushing river, completely submerging thousands of Xiongnu.

Shan Yu, the military official who led the troops to the south, did not know that Longcheng was attacked and his old nest would be destroyed.At this moment, he was feeling irritated because King Youxian was not good in battle and could not attack Shuofang City for a long time.

The Bank of China said that after all, he was old and reluctantly went out with the army, and fell ill during the long journey.The doctor has diagnosed and treated it, and after using the medicine for a few days, it still doesn't get better.Recently, the condition has worsened, high fever has been initiated, and the waking time has become less and less.

Because of his sudden illness, Shan Yu, a military official, encountered difficulties and had no one to ask for advice.

It's not that Shan Yu doesn't have counselors under his account, it's because the battle plan was formulated by Zhong Xingshuo himself, and he told the military ministers Shan Yu and the four corners of the royal court in advance not to make any changes unless it is absolutely necessary.

Now that Bank of China said he was in a coma, the other counselors did not dare to take responsibility lightly, and there was no news from Yunzhong, Yanmen and Shanggu County, how could the military officials not be irritable.

In the evening, King Youxian returned without success again, and the mood of the military minister Shanyu became even worse.

The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and Yi Zhixie, who had fled back to the grassland, sent a message that the feigned attack on Yanmen County had failed, and the remaining cavalry with him were less than [-].The visitor also reported that King Zuo Guli judged based on his own situation that if King Zuo Xian didn't hear from him for a long time, he might suffer the same defeat as him, and even more bad luck.

After hearing the report from the visitor, the military officer Shan Yu blushed and stood up abruptly, before he could speak, he spit out a mouthful of blood and fell on his back.

"Da Chanyu!"

Everyone in the tent turned pale with fright, stepped forward one after another, and even shouted to call the doctor.

Perhaps thinking that the situation wasn't bad enough, the ranger who had gone out galloped back, fell off his horse in embarrassment, with an iron arrow stuck in his back, grabbed the soldiers patrolling the camp, and said with the last of his strength, "Report quickly, the Han army is besieging us!" , Tens of thousands!"

After uttering the last two words with difficulty, You Qi's arm dropped, and he died of exhaustion.

In Shuofang City, the prefect and captain saw the scouts delivering the letter, knowing that the reinforcements from Yunzhong and Wuyuan County had arrived, and that the reinforcements from Dingxiang and Shangjun would also arrive tomorrow, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Regardless of the injured left arm, the prefect grabbed the long knife and said loudly: "Order troops, follow me out of the city tomorrow to attack the enemy!"

Ten miles away from Shuofang City, Zhao Jia met with the captain of Wuyuan County, and after reading the news from Xinying, he set up an ambush behind the Xiongnu, waiting for tomorrow morning to catch a turtle in an urn.

Gongsun Ao and Zhao Puonu, who had gone out, came back and went to Zhao Jia to plead guilty. They said they met the Xiongnu Ranger, but they failed to win and were run away by the other party.

"No problem." Zhao Jia ordered the two of them to get up, not paying much attention.

It doesn't matter if the Huns know about it.

The encirclement circle has been formed, unless the military minister Shan Yu has the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, otherwise it is impossible to escape.
