Under the blue and clear sky, the green carpet is like a weaving painting. However, at this time, there is no longer the usual peace and tranquility on the endless prairie, and a terrible storm is brewing.

Amid the roar of hooves, a dark cloud of cavalry surged out of the southwestern horizon. At the sound of the horn, at least 15,000 Hun cavalry gradually slowed down their horses, and quickly formed a charging formation against another black tide rushing in the distance.

On the opposite side is also an army of tens of thousands of Hu cavalry, such as the forest of swords, mountains and spears, a large flag waving in the wind, showing that this army is also the same Huns.

The two armies slowly approached, the armor was dazzling, shouting and shaking the sky, and suddenly in the sound of golden drums, the soldiers on both sides fell silent at the same time, and for a while only heard the neighing of war horses and the hunting of battle flags.

In the Xiongnu army in the southwest, a mighty old man galloped out of the formation under the arch guard of dozens of warriors, and shouted wildly: "Where is King Zuoxian? You and so on for no reason to lead the army to approach Shan Yu's court account, intending to make a mess? ”

"Qiangqu!" In the opponent's army array, there was also a Hun man who rushed into battle, and looked up to the sky and smiled: "This king led the army here today, do you still want to pretend to be confused?" ”

The mighty old man couldn't help but change color when he heard this, and a general behind him roared angrily: "Bold! King Zuo Xian, how dare you not call Shan Yu Zun? ”

"Humph!" King Zuo Xian said disdainfully: "Shan Yu? Qiangqu, you are good at abolishing the system of inheritance set by your ancestors, and you actually intend to tamper with hundreds of years of brother and brother and succession for the father and son...... This is an insult to our ancestors and a great disrespect to the gods! You don't deserve to continue to be our single Yu! ”

He raised his arms and shouted behind him, "Faithful believers in the nature gods of the steppe, do you agree? ”

"No! Don't say yes! More than 10,000 cavalry on the left side of the Huns clamored in unison, spreading the huge sound far to the grassland.

"What? You! "The mighty old man is the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Luanti Qiangqu, he has reigned for ten years, it is the first time he has encountered such a scale of turmoil, and it is his first successor Zuo Xian Wang who led the rebellion, which can't help but make him a little flustered.

"Please remember your identity, you are still only King Zuoxian, and it is a capital crime to commit such a blatant rebellion!" Qiang Qu barely calmed down and sneered, "Besides, what evidence do you mean?" ”

"Hahaha! If you don't want people to know, you can't do it yourself! Of course, this king has a witness! King Zuo Xian's eyes widened with a pair of bronze bells, and he suddenly shouted: "Anastu! Stand up, and the gods will witness your loyalty to the Huns above the clouds! ”

"Anastu?" Qiang Qu was shaken, and he turned his head to look behind him in disbelief, only to see a general riding out of the rear and running straight towards the open space between the two armies, it was his henchman General Anastu.

"I, Anashidu, swear to the gods that what I say is true!" Anastur was in the middle of the two armies, and he looked at the Qiangqu.

Qiang Qu's heart suddenly froze, because what he saw from those usually loyal and honest eyes was full of cunning and ruthlessness.

“…… I heard with my own ears that Shan Yu had a secret discussion with the Han envoys that as long as we, the Xiongnu, sent troops to help the Han people attack the Karasuma people, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty would support Shan Yu to support his eldest son Yu Fuluo to inherit the throne! As soon as Anashidu's words came out, the Hun armies on both sides were even more terrifyingly quiet, and even the soldiers who had been loyal to Qiangqu were a little stunned.

"Anastu!" A young Hun behind the Qiangqu roared with blood-red eyes: "You ungrateful jackal! The gods will punish you ......"

"Phew! Luan Tihu Chuquan, you are really obsessed! Anastur laughed wildly and said, "It's not bad for you to stop Shan Yu from abolishing the elder brother and the last brother!" Otherwise, even if your brother is in power, how can it be your turn to be a single Yu? The meaning of teasing under the words was fully revealed, and the cavalry on the left side of the Huns all laughed loudly.

"Father! Let's attack! Although Hu Chuquan was angry, he still did not forget to ask his father, he saw that Qiang Qu was still hesitant, and lowered his voice and said: "If we don't attack again, I'm afraid that even our soldiers will be shaken!" ”

"In the name of violating the royal court and slandering Shan Yu, I killed King Zuoxian!" Hu Chuquan said fiercely: "As long as this person lives, my father will never be able to truly control the entire tribe!" ”

Qiang Qu's hand holding the handle of the knife trembled a little, after all, King Zuo Xian was also his brother...... He gritted his teeth, drew his sword and shouted, "God above, punish these sinners who intend to rebel!" ”

"Kill!" More than 10,000 cavalry instigated their war horses together, overwhelmingly rushing towards the left cavalry on the opposite side. Not only did they have a slight advantage in numbers, but they also always boasted that they were the most elite warriors among the Huns, and of course their morale was like a rainbow.

"If you want to win by brute force...... Zuo Xianwang sketched a cruel smile on his lips: "Qiang Qu, you are really wrong!" ”

He waved his hand, and a warrior behind him immediately bent his bow and shot an arrow into the sky.

The terrible sound of "swishing ----" resounded through the grassland, and suddenly there was a faint thunderous sound of violent hooves in the distance.

"What's going on?" Qiang Qu and Hu Chuquan were shocked at the same time, and looked at the sound of hooves, and their pupils couldn't help but shrink.

On the left and right sides, at the same time, a large number of cavalry troops of black crows appeared, and they were rushing towards the two wings of the royal court army at a lightning speed.

"What is this?" Qiang Qu's body shook, and he almost fell from his horse: "Slaughter the cavalry of various tribes!" Will they also turn against me? ”

"Quick! Divide your forces to protect the wings! Hu Chuquan shouted loudly, trying to turn the tide. It's a pity that everything is already late, and Wang Tingjun, who is galloping at high speed, has already collided with the left army, and it is impossible to make timely military adjustments.

In the midst of the shouting and neighing of horses, under the shadow of swords and spears, countless Huns burst out with terrible blood mist, and fell weakly on their horses, no matter who it was, in this kind of large-scale war that was completely cavalry combat, as long as they fell off the horse, their lives had been announced, and many of them would even be difficult to identify their bodies.

The terrifying sound of tearing the air was heard, and the cavalry on both sides still shot two waves of arrows like locusts before engaging the enemy in close combat, showing their superb cavalry and archery skills. Although it was nowhere near the rate of fire of at least three waves of the Eagle's Nest, it was truly breathtaking that these slaughtering cavalry were able to complete such a difficult maneuver without stirrups at all.

Under the blow of the rain of arrows, the soldiers of the Wang Tingjun on both sides fell under the horses like the following dumplings, and the two cavalry slaughtered each other like red-hot knives, and stabbed into the waist of the Wang Tingjun without losing the opportunity.

In an instant, the defeat of the royal court army has appeared.

"No!" Qiang Quyu immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!" Hu Chuquan panicked and held Qiang Qu's crumbling body.

"Son! Get out! We can't all die here! Qiang Qu's eyes suddenly burst into the essence of a decisive battle, he slowly sat up straight, glared at Hu Chuquan and said: "I order you, immediately lead the bravest soldiers of my subordinates to break through from the south!" ”

"No, father, what should you do?" Tears welled up in the kitchen.

"For my father, I have been crisscrossing the grassland for half my life, and I have a glory of my own, if I must fall!" Qiang Qu suddenly raised his sword and smiled proudly: "I must also kiss the land that belongs to me under my feet when I die!" ”

"Father, you ......" Hu Chuquan's advice was interrupted, and dozens of strong Shan Yu's guards swarmed him, surrounded him in the middle, and rushed south together. The three thousand of the most elite cavalry warriors also turned their horses' heads and gathered around Hu Chuquan.

At the sound of the horn, the remaining Wang Tingjun followed Qiangqu to launch a final charge towards the enemy.

"Go find your brother and ask for help from Dahan together!" Qiang Qu's last voice fell into Hu Chuquan's ears, and he could only let out a heart-rending roar: "Father! ”

It was a battle, the pro-Han Southern Xiongnu Shan died in the battle of Qiangqu, 6,000 soldiers of the Wang Ting Army buried the bones of the grassland, and the rest of the people, except for Hu Chuquan who led 4,000 remnants of the army to break out of the encirclement, 5,000 soldiers all surrendered, and the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu was also succeeded by the Gudu Hou of the Xiongnu famous family Xu Bu.

Soon after, the two brothers, Huchuquan and Yu Fuluo, joined forces and wanted to raise troops for revenge, but their total military strength was less than 7,000, and not only was there no hope of counterattacking, but it was also difficult to protect themselves. In desperation, the two Xiongnu princes obeyed their father's orders and led their troops all the way south, sending a signal for help to the counties of the Han Dynasty. But they were disappointed again, the entire northern frontier of the Han Dynasty was deeply caught in the rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun and the invasion of the Karasuma people. Many places even stay away from it, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

Soon, the two Xiongnu princes had to face another catastrophe: they were running out of food!

In order to obtain shelter and necessary supplies as soon as possible, finding a temporary ally has become an imminent matter for the remnants of the Southern Xiongnu army, and for this purpose, they even set their sights on the Baibo army active in Bingzhou and the Taihang Mountain bandits who supported their own troops.

However, they did not know that a powerful Han army was coming from the direction they were heading in.

The war in northern Xinjiang has become even more treacherous.
