Chapter 4 The First Birth of the Qin Rebellion 43 The Great Bloody Battle of the Grassland

Just when the two Ji Hua sisters were stunned, a terrible sound of horns instantly covered the entire grassland. Before the Hun army could react, an elite Zhao army flew to kill from the flanks accompanied by a rain of arrows.

The Hun cavalry rushed all the way, and by this time they were already sleepy and lacking horses, and they were suddenly panicked by Zhao Junfei's cavalry. In just an instant, the thousand-man horse team guarding the flank was all wiped out in the rain of arrows and swords, and the Hun Lao Shan didn't know how many flying horses the Zhao army had dispatched for a while, so he hurriedly brandished his scimitar and roared: "Withdraw!" Fall back! ”

In fact, this Zhao army was nothing more than 8,000 flying horsemen sent by Li Mu to the depths of the grassland to trade goods with the small Xiongnu tribes. On the way back, they inadvertently discovered the movement of the Xiongnu army, so they sent people back to the camp in the clouds to report the news, and quietly followed behind the Xiongnu army. It was only at this moment that Fang took advantage of his lack of preparedness and suddenly launched an attack. After the first battle, the Xiongnu lost 30,000 soldiers, while the Zhao army flew and killed and wounded only 2,000 people.

"Who's up ahead?" Zhao Jun obviously noticed the Ji Hua sisters not far away, and immediately sent a hundred-man cavalry team to gallop over.

Ji Xue stepped forward and showed the bronze waist card, and replied in a loud voice: "Sima Zhao Yan of the middle army in the big camp in the clouds." ”

"Under the flying cavalry captain, the Hun army is pressing, please return to the camp with me immediately!" Captain Le Ma shouted.

Ji Xue secretly turned around and stuck out her tongue at Ji Hua, and whispered softly: "The big war is coming, God will leave my sister!" ”

Ji Hua glanced at Ji Xue's naughty appearance helplessly, and sighed slightly: "That's all it can be." ”

Ji Hua agreed to stay, so Ji Xue happily turned around and arched her hand to the captain: "Captain and lead the army first, and the two of us will follow." ”

"It's good!" Without saying a word, the horse turned over and galloped away with the hundred cavalry......

Not long after Ji Hua left, Li Mu received a report that the Xiongnu were moving south. After years of operation, Li Mu already knew the vast prairie in the clouds, and after some careful consideration, he decided to set the battlefield on the grassland hundreds of miles away from the Great Wall in the clouds.

I never thought that the Hun army had retreated all the way to Yinshan after a surprise attack by Zhao Junfei's flying horse, and there was no movement for several days.

"Birds! Fight a big fight! The Great White Bear has become a shrunken turtle! The deputy general Sima Shang drank mare's milk wine while nibbling on the dried sauce and meat in his hand, and scolded him with a sigh in his mouth.

Li Mu stared at the topographic map in the clouds in front of the big case, and listened to Sima Shang scolding himself for a long time, but he didn't say a word. Sima Shang stood up and said: "The confrontation between the two armies is not a good strategy after all, please make a decision quickly!" ”

"What tactics does the general have?" Li Mu didn't answer, but just asked lightly.

Sima Shang hurriedly threw down the dried meat, wiped his oil hand to his chest, strode behind Li Mu, pointed to the map and said: "I discussed with the generals, the general can ambush 100,000 infantry troops between the east and west mountain beams at the northern foot of Yin Mountain, prepare a strong bow and crossbow machine, and the last general will lead 50,000 flying horses to lure the enemy to attack!" ”

"It's to fight hard, if this battle can be won big, it can ensure that the northern frontier of Zhao State will be safe for ten years!" Li Mu stared at the map and said categorically.

"As long as the general gives the order, you will not hesitate to go to the soup!" Seeing that Li Mu agreed to attack, Sima Shang was greatly excited, and he hurriedly asked for his life.

I didn't want Li Mu to wave his hand: "This plan is no difference, but if the Huns insist on not coming out, what can I do?" ”

"This ...... The last will not believe! Is it possible for 300,000 iron horsemen to go south to herd horses? Sima Shang retorted unconvinced, "If it really doesn't come out, I will bring 50,000 flying horsemen to kick over Lao Shan Yu's broken account!" ”

Li Mu couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Tonight will be as you wish." ”

Sima Shang was stunned for a moment, and his voice became trembling: "The general's intentions...... Is the Admiral going to attack at night? ”

Li Mu turned around suddenly, stretched out one arm, and patted Sima Shang's shoulder heavily: "Yes!" This is the Night Raid Battle! ”

While speaking, Ji Xue entered the account and reported: "General, Ji Hua asks to see." ”

"Madame, please." Li Mu turned his back to his hand, cleared his hoarse voice, and said with a straight face.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Ji Hua, who was dressed in military uniform, hurriedly walked into the big tent, bowed deeply to Li Mu and said, "General." ”

"Madame is polite, and sit down and talk." After Ji Hua sat down, Li Mu continued to ask, "I don't know what happened to Madame?" ”

"Ji Hua came here just to ask for battle." Ji Hua got up again and solemnly asked.

"No! If the lady has a bad pool, Li Mu has no face to face the son. Li Mu did not hesitate at all, and categorically rejected Ji Hua's request.

Seeing that Li Mu refused to agree, Ji Hua's heart was sour, and tears flowed down: "What do you have to do with your son?" Ji Hua's blood revenge has to be avenged! "When Yan was in turmoil, the Xiongnu took the opportunity to invade the south, and Ji Hua's father also died under the sword of the Huns, and she was only one year old that year.

"This ......" Seeing Ji Hua's bitter expression, Li Mu couldn't help but waver, "It's just that the battle formation is not child's play." ”

"General rest assured, my sister's martial arts are not inferior to men." Ji Xue couldn't help but interject on the side.

"Sister Shi?" Li Mu glanced at Ji Xue strangely.

Ji Xue originally blurted out, but when she heard Li Muyi's question, she was immediately embarrassed, but Ji Hua reacted quickly, and hurriedly explained: "General, General Zhao Yan was originally Ji Hua's cousin. ”

"Oh? That being the case, Sima Shang obeyed the order! Li Mu turned to Sima Shang beside him.

"In!" Sima Shang thought that Li Mu wanted to make himself the main general of the night attack on the Huns, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and he couldn't wait to give his hand up.

"Order you to lead a thousand flying horses, always protect your wife's side, if there is a messenger to see you!" Li Mu gave the order with an expressionless face.

"General......" After listening to the general's order, Sima Shang was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that Li Mu would let him do such an errand.

"General, don't be so troublesome...... Ji Hua also refused.

Li Mu waved his hand, stopped Ji Hua's words, and then pressed Sima Shang's shoulder and smiled slightly: "Li Mu has made up his mind!" The battle situation is changing rapidly, and the safety of his wife is very important, and only Sima Shang can protect him, and Li Mu can rest assured. ”

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, Sima Shang had no choice but to glare at Ji Hua with a bitter expression, and then nodded helplessly......

That night, the moon on the prairie was dark and the wind was high, and the 150,000 border troops of Zhao State were all dispatched, and the soldiers crossed the Yin Mountain in two ways, and went straight to the Xiongnu camp. The Huns have always been all tribes stationed on their own, and their precautions were lax, and they did not expect that the Zhao army would actually cross the Yin Mountain to seek battle, so except for the sporadic sentries, almost everyone gathered around the dotted bonfires, wrapped in felt and hugged their heads and fell asleep.

Without a sound, the arrows attacked like locusts in the sky, and many Hun warriors lost their lives inexplicably while they were still asleep. After the salvo was completed, the two Zhao armies pressed towards the Xiongnu camp with a roar and shout according to the prior deployment. As soon as they entered the camp, the Zhao army quickly broke into pieces, and divided and encroached on the 300,000 Xiongnu army into countless small pieces with a thousand horsemen.

After the initial panic, the Xiongnu tribes gradually reacted, and gathered the remnants of the remnants to desperately lean in the direction of Lao Danyu's big tent.

Li Mu, who was standing on a high place, saw the situation on the battlefield really clearly, if he waited for it to gather, the whole army of the Huns would be wiped out, in a hurry, Li Mu's eyes flashed, and he raised his sword and yelled at Ji Xue beside him: "Capture the thief and capture the king!" Golden Drum Horn! The whole army fights to the death! Besiege the Huns alone in the white bear banner! As soon as the words fell, Li Mu had already taken the lead, leading two thousand escorts and flying horses into the battle like a hurricane.

At this time, the Hun Lao Shan Yu was anxiously leading the remnants of the people to fight desperately, and suddenly raised his eyes to see a big banner with the word "Li" coming towards him. Frightened, Lao Shan Yu hurriedly raised his longbow and shot three arrows at the general under the banner of Xu.

"General, be careful!" Seeing three sharp arrows roaring towards Li Mu, Ji Xue, who was close behind, didn't have time to think about it, jumped up from the horse, and blocked Li Mu's horse sideways. The three arrows hit Ji Xue's back almost simultaneously. The incident only happened in an instant, and Li Mu was even more unable to stop his horse, and directly bumped into Ji Xue who was in the air. was hit hard both before and after, and Ji Xue flew out like a fallen leaf in the wind.

"Zhao Yan!" Li Mu shouted, flew off his horse, swung his sword and slashed down several Hun warriors in front of him, and staggered over. Ji Xue's helmet had already fallen to the side, and her black and shiny hair was scattered like a waterfall.

With a burst of heart-wrenching pain, Ji Xue vaguely felt that a man was hugging her tightly: "Childe...... Is that you......" She whispered something that only she could understand, and leaned quietly against the man's chest, listening to his rapid and powerful heartbeat, gradually losing consciousness.

"Zhao Yan! Ben will command you...... Command that you must not die! Li Mu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has long been accustomed to bleeding and dying, doesn't know why he is crying at this moment. He knelt on his knees, picked up Ji Xue in a pool of blood, and shouted around in despair, but the woman in his arms was as light as a thin feather, as if there was no trace of weight......

Yes, the 300,000 Xiongnu army was almost wiped out, and Lao Shan Yu led the remnants to flee to the Western Regions without a trace. For more than ten years after that, the northern frontier of Zhao was calm.
