after being kidnapped by the general

Everyone present knew that Huyan Wuzhu was deliberately provoking Chu Hechao.

Chu Hechao also clearly knew Huyan Wuzhu's purpose, and knew that he should not confront Huyan Wuzhu rashly at this time, but should have a long-term plan.

But he was really pissed off.

And it is a furious anger that has never been seen before.

He was not the only one who was irritated, all the generals who heard this sentence were furious, and wished to teach Huyan Wuzhu a lesson immediately, so that he would never dare to say such words again.

A man couldn't stand this kind of provocation.If they really forbear it, it will only hurt the reputations of Chu Hechao and Yuanli, and a pot of sewage will be poured on them. If they don't fight, how will Chu Hechao and Yuanli deal with each other in the future!

Among the generals present, Yang Zhongfa and He Lang were the only two who had seen Yuanli.They all have a good impression of Yuanli, and they have admiration and respect in their hearts. Even though they knew that Huyan Wuzhu was doing it on purpose, Yang Zhongfa stood up first, and clasped his fists in a deep voice: "Huyan Wuzhu is too deceitful. Will go to fight!"

This battle must be answered, Huyan Wuzhu has reached this point, there is no room for maneuver.

He Lang followed closely behind, sneering angrily, "The last general is also willing to go, I really can't bear Huyan Wuzhu insulting the general and Young Master Yuan so much!"

They started this, and the others couldn't bear it any longer, they also stood up with a clatter, and clasped their fists together to fight.

Several generals in Xinzhou didn't know Yuanli well, nor had they gotten along with Yuanli before.But just because Yuanli was Chu Hechao's sister-in-law and the food and clothing parents of their entire army, they couldn't bear Yuanli being insulted by the Huns like this.

This is not a slap in the face of one person, but the face of the entire Northern Xinjiang army.

Chu Hechao's face was gloomy, his eyes darkened.

He was furious, even far beyond the anger that ordinary people should have after being slandered for having an affair with his sister-in-law.

The subordinates who occasionally glanced at his face were also shocked, and couldn't help but sigh that the general really couldn't stand the Huns slandering his relationship with his sister-in-law.

But they didn't know that Chu Hechao was full of shock and anger.

This shock, Chu Hechao himself did not know where it came from.But it was as if some unknown secret that hadn't yet germinated was exposed, Chu Hechao's murderous heart suddenly arose, and his hostility burst out. His instincts made a decision in an instant, and he absolutely wanted to silence all those who said these words. .

Not one can be left alive.

This killing intent was too violent and extreme, Chu Hechao closed his eyes, suppressed the rolling killing intent in his heart, and calmly thought about it.

Huyan Wuzhu wanted them to fight, regardless of whether the battle was dangerous or not, he was bullied and asked to go to his house, if he didn't respond, it would only shake the morale of the army.But the Xiongnu cavalry stationed on both sides of the east and west cannot be ignored. Once all the troops are aimed at Huyan Wuzhu, the [-] cavalry of Huyan Wuzhu can turn around and run away at any time. Once his two sons attack the Great Wall from three or four hundred miles away, they will These infantry ran to death and could not catch up with the rescue.

If Yuan Congyun came back with [-] soldiers, Chu Hechao would not be so short of soldiers.

But Yuan Congyun was still on his way back to northern Xinjiang, and Chu Hechao currently had only [-] soldiers at his disposal.

The capabilities of cavalry and infantry are vastly different.

It is even more difficult to use infantry to deal with the cavalry of the Huns.

But no matter how difficult it was, Chu Hechao couldn't keep hiding.

Chu Hechao opened his eyes, and sent Xinzhou and Duan Yuquan to lead troops to guard against the two cavalry stationed at Huyanting and Huyanhuntu three or four hundred miles away, and immediately gave the order to fight.He also told the generals not to love to fight, and to retreat while fighting, and never to delay with the Huns.

In this first station, he only intends to take a look at the means and strength of the Huns for the time being.

After Huyan Wuzhu sent people to humiliate Chu Hechao under the Great Wall, he patiently waited for Chu Hechao's reaction.

On the second day, he received the news that Chu Hechao sent Yang Zhongfa to lead 3 people out of the Great Wall and came to the grassland to meet the enemy head-on.

After hearing that there were only 3 cavalry among the [-] people, Huyan Wuzhu laughed loudly and praised: "What a brave boy! It seems that my eldest son and second son have brought them a lot of fear and separated them. A lot of troops, otherwise how dare they challenge my [-] elite cavalry with [-] soldiers?"

After finishing speaking, Huyan Wuzhu's eyes flashed brightly, "Northern Zhou has indeed shown signs of decline. Even Chu Hechao, without soldiers in his hand, is like a clever woman who cannot cook without rice. My [-] cavalry can really go south in one fell swoop this time."

The subordinates looked at each other and asked, "Shan Yu, do you admire Chu Hechao?"

Huyan Wuzhu stood up and tightened his belt, picked up the big knife, and snorted coldly, "If my two sons have half the ability of Chu Ciye, I won't be over sixty and bring you to rob winter grain gone."

Everyone showed ashamed expressions.

Huyan Wuzhu waved his hands and encouraged them again, "If you really feel sorry for me, then give me a good fight to win this battle!"

The subordinates responded loudly and excitedly: "Yes!"

The [-] cavalry of the Xiongnu assembled and headed towards the Great Wall. From a distance, they saw the Northern Zhou army lined up under the Great Wall.

The banners of the Northern Zhou army were flying, well-prepared spearmen and shield soldiers stood in the front, and cavalry and infantry followed behind.The shield battalion, archer battalion, chariot battalion, and throwing battalion are all well-arranged and imposing.

Huyan Wuzhu hadn't personally led troops to fight for a long time, and he was secretly surprised when he saw the Northern Zhou army today, "Is the Northern Zhou army so well-equipped now?"

The subordinate replied: "Chan Yu, Chu Hechao has a lot of weapons at first glance, but in fact they are mostly worn out and in short supply."

Huyan Wuzhu did not relax his vigilance. He took [-] cavalry to stop outside the range of the Northern Zhou army, and was about to send someone to shout for a test, when Han Jin burst out, "Huyan Wuzhu, you old man!" Thief, today I will surely kill you!"

Mi Yang taught him Han Jin's swearing words in advance. He raised his voice and said the words he had already memorized. He enunciated clearly and his voice was loud. Are you happy that the son born to your father's concubine called you father, who has been raised by others for more than ten years, is not the blood of your Huyan family in the end?"

After finishing speaking, all the generals and soldiers in the Northern Zhou army laughed loudly.

This is a mockery of Huyan Wuzhu's concubine having an affair and giving birth to a son for Huyan Wuzhu.A few years ago, when this matter broke out, it could be said that it was a scandal that spread far and wide. Huyan Wuzhu was so angry that he killed his concubine and fake son by torture. This incident can be described as Huyan Wuzhu's lifelong shame.

As soon as this remark came out, Huyan Wuzhu's face turned ugly for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, "Little Huangkou, I want to see who wants whose life today!"

After finishing speaking, Huyan Wuzhu ordered to mobilize the vanguard cavalry to take the lead in sprinting, trying to break the formation of the Northern Zhou Army.

The two armies officially faced each other. As soon as the forward team entered the range, dense arrows flew out and shot at the Huns densely.

Chu Hechao has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years, and he fought countless battles with the Xiongnu Xianbei.The Huns were not without weaknesses. They did not have the materials and technology to make weapons. The bows and arrows they used were all obtained from looting and confiscating the enemy. They were not as sophisticated as the bows and arrows and weapons of the Central Plains people.

As soon as the dense arrow rain came, the cavalry of the Xiongnu's charge were at a loss, and they did not rush to the front of the northern Xinjiang army for a long time.

When his subordinates reported the news, Huyan Wuzhu was not in a hurry, he said in an authentic way: "The bows and arrows are always shot, and when they run out of bows and arrows, it's time for our cavalry to show off."

The Xiongnu cavalry was not useless. Their cavalry was much stronger than the Central Plains people. They could ride and shoot even on horseback. They also killed many Northern Zhou troops with arrow rain.

Sure enough, wait until the bow and arrow is about to run out.Yang Zhongfa led the team to fight and retreat, and kept fleeing in the direction of the Great Wall.

Huyan Wuzhu immediately seized the opportunity and rushed forward with someone.

But as soon as he rushed to the front, a stone-throwing soldier threw out the stone bound by the hemp thread in his hand, and the stone hit the Huns' head and chest heavily, directly smashing the man's head until he was bleeding. die.

The horses were also injured a lot. The front row of the Huns cavalry was chaotic, and they were immediately pushed up by the rear.

The thrown stones could only come in wave after wave. Before the next wave of stones could be thrown out, the Xiongnu took the opportunity to attack in front of them, and the cavalry quickly surrounded the Northern Zhou army.The horses of the [-] cavalry brought great deterrence and a sense of oppression, and the besieged Northern Zhou army had faintly shown a look of fear and cowering.

The Xiongnu cavalry continued to shrink the encirclement, looking fiercely at the Northern Zhou army in the middle, forcing them to move to the left.

Yang Zhongfa was in a bad mood, so he yelled a few words so that the soldiers could not retreat.When he was about to find a breakthrough point, Han Jin suddenly found a flaw in the left flank of the Huns cavalry.

Han Jin was overjoyed, "General, the left wing of the Xiongnu has a flaw!"

Yang Zhongfa looked sideways, and sure enough, as Han Jin said, the number of people surrounded on the left side was the weakest.He looked at his army formation which had been torn apart by the horses, and without hesitation, he raised his sword and pointed to the left flank, saying: "Cavalry follow me to lead the way!"

After speaking, Yang Zhongfa took the lead in the charge, and the five thousand cavalry rushed forward without hesitation, opening the way for the infantry.Han Jin guarded Yang Zhongfa's side step by step, and cut off many arrows for Yang Zhongfa. Yang Zhongfa led the cavalry to fight a bloody path on the left flank of the Huns. I don't know how many people were killed. encircled.

Yang Zhongfa was overjoyed, and drove his horse forward, but suddenly saw something wrong with the withered grass and dust on the ground in front of him, his pupils constricted, and he was shocked and said: "No, it's a trap set by the Huns, this is a horse trap! "

Yang Zhongfa held on tightly to the horse in his hand, trying to turn the horse's head with all his strength, but the inertia was too great, and the horse couldn't stop even if he wanted to. Yang Zhongfa immediately abandoned the horse and rolled off the horse.

But the other cavalry who rushed over were not so lucky. They all rushed into the trap, and the dry grass collapsed instantly, revealing a huge horse pit.

There were spears and sharp bamboo poles stuck in the horse trap, and the horses and people fell into it, either breaking their heads or being pierced by the bamboo poles and spears.

Blood flowed into rivers, screams continued, and the cavalry trained with great effort in the army filled the entire horse trap.Yang Zhongfa burst into tears when he saw the tragic situation in the horse pit.

Suddenly, he remembered something, his expression changed, and he said loudly: "Han Jin!"

A weak voice came from the horse pit, "My lord..."

Yang Zhongfa quickly climbed to the side of the horse sinking pit in disbelief, and saw Han Jin who was pressed tightly to the bottom by the horse and corpse.

Fortunately for Han Jin, his arm and thigh were pierced by the spear, but his vital parts were not injured and his life was still alive.But he was so unfortunate that he was crushed firmly by the corpses of two or three horses and cavalrymen. On the battlefield, under the close pursuit of the Huns, Yang Zhongfa couldn't and had no time to rescue him.

He looks at Han Jin mournfully.

Han Jin also understood what he meant, and he said with difficulty: "My lord, hurry up and go back to the city... This time I made a mistake in judgment, my lord remembers to tell the general for my mistake."

Yang Zhongfa's surviving soldiers and the remaining cavalry rushed to Yang Zhongfa's side and hurriedly said, "My lord, let's go!"

Yang Zhongfa wiped his face and stood up, led the horse beside him and jumped up, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"I have a daughter named Yan'er." Han Jin couldn't help crying, "I'll leave it to you, my lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhongfa led the cavalry and led the infantry towards the Great Wall.

Han Jin looked up at the gray blue sky, his eyes were blurred, and the fear of death that he had just endured and didn't show was faintly revealed on his face.

He went to look at his war horse that was pierced by a spear and died in pain, and finally thought.

I shouldn't have asked Mr. Yuan to beg you.

Don't be a war horse in your next life.

The first confrontation between the Northern Xinjiang army and the Xiongnu completely failed.

The atmosphere in the barracks became even more tense, and everyone's face sank like water.

Yang Zhongfa knelt on the ground to plead guilty, his half-white hair was messy, his body was covered in blood, and his eyes were even bloodshot.

In this battle, they thought they could cause some casualties to Huyan Wuzhu, and then quickly retreated to the city. Unexpectedly, they were defeated so badly. Only 5000 cavalry had already lost 2000 horses.

It weighs heavily on everyone's heart.

When everyone was preoccupied, Chu Hechao remained unmoved and gave his subordinates support like a bone of reassurance. He said: "It's not like nothing, at least I know the tactics of the Huns." .”

Yang Zhongfa lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "General..."

He Lang and Miyang, two people who were acquainted with Han Jin couldn't help but red-eyed, but they had been on the battlefield for an unknown number of years, and the grief only stayed for a short moment, and then it turned into anger.

Chu Hechao looked at the map intently, his fingers clenched into fists, and the tent became silent again.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a centurion came to report, "General, Youzhou sent you a cart of things. The leader of the team is Wu Kai. He said that the governor of Youzhou sent him here."

Chu Hechao suddenly raised his head, "Who sent it?"

The centurion said: "The governor of Youzhou."

Chu Hechao asked: "What is it?"

The centurion was also at a loss. He shook his head, "This man said that this item can only be handed over to the general. Judging by his expression, those items should be extremely important."

The generals couldn't help but looked at each other.

He Lang intentionally broke the heavy atmosphere, pretending to be curious and said: "The things that Mr. Yuan made are all good things that he has never seen before. It must be very important that he sent someone to send them to the general. General, let's take a look. see?"

Chu Hechao pondered for a moment, strode out from behind the table, and patted Yang Zhongfa on the shoulder, "Come on, you all come and take a look with me."
