Zhao State, North Great Wall.

As one of the three Jin Dynasty, the Zhao State, since the founding of the country, not only has to resist the strong Qin in the west, but also because the territory borders the Xiongnu in the north, and it must always be on guard against the Xiongnu going south. It can be said that Zhao was the most war-torn of the princes.

The Great Wall, a fortification set up by China to defend against the southward invasion of the Xiongnu in the north, has reappeared in the world 10,000 years after the ancient civilization disappeared. If Chen Ziyou stood here at this moment, looking at the prairie in the distance and the Great Wall at his feet, he would definitely be amazed.

Since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the important task of resisting the Xiongnu in the north has always been held by the Jin State, which at that time had both a vast territory and a huge manpower, as well as the financial support of the Great Zhou royal family, so it has always occupied an advantage in the face of the Xiongnu. But in recent decades, the prestige of the Great Zhou royal family weakened, and the control of the local princes declined, resulting in continuous conquest among the princes. It wasn't until the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei were separated that the situation changed.

Contrary to the expectations of the princes, compared with the Zhao State, which was far inferior to the old Jin Dynasty, after spending the first few years of being oppressed by the Xiongnu, it slowly began to turn from defense to offense.

In 380 years of the new calendar, King Wu of Zhao ascended the throne, this young monarch who was nicknamed Wu by later generations, faced with the domestic situation that had just experienced the defeat of Changping, and even gave up the title of Marquis of Zhao enshrined by the Great Zhou royal family in less than a year after ascending the throne, and proclaimed himself king. In the same year, a young general was promoted to the commander of the northern border army to resist the attack of the Xiongnu. The implementation of this policy completely changed the situation of the north to resist the Xiongnu. After wearing the costumes of the Hu people who were more able to exert their fists and feet, and learning the riding and archery of the Hu people, the strength of the border army of the northern Zhao State was greatly improved, and a cavalry that made the Huns fearful was cultivated, and this cavalry was especially good at riding and archery, and was called the wind wolf horse.

This young general, whose name is also the same as that of a famous general in the ancient civilization period, is named Li Mu.

At this moment, he was standing on the Great Wall, looking north at a large group of Hun cavalry that had come in motion.

"General, everything is ready, as you said, bring three days' worth of dry food, each horse with two quivers, and the soldiers also carry a quiver on their backs, each of which is filled with thirty arrows." A non-commissioned officer led a white horse and walked quickly to the young general's side, looking at the general who was more than ten years younger than him with a look of reverence and excitement.

Li Mu turned his head sideways to look at the non-commissioned officer, if it was the first time he saw Li Mu, no one would believe that this was the leader of the border army who had made the Huns fail repeatedly in recent years, but the slender sword eyebrows grew on a fair face, and a pair of brown pupils did not have the slightest murderous aura, but revealed a southerner tenderness. This was supposed to be a young man who made the girls crazy, but it appeared in the bitter cold northland, which was really unexpected.

"Where's the dagger?" Li Mu asked, his voice was surprisingly soft.

Although it was not the first time he had seen this handsome face, the non-commissioned officer couldn't help but marvel at Li Mu's appearance in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart that if such a person was in the market, he didn't know how many girls he would charm, but he stayed with a group of five big and three rough soldiers day and night in this bitter cold place.

"According to the general, they each carry two short knives at their waists." The non-commissioned officer came back to his senses and said.

Li Mu nodded, turned over and jumped on the white horse beside him: "General Zhang, the Huns are menacing, they have gathered all their forces, there are more than 100,000 people, and our army is only 50,000 people, are you afraid?" “

The non-commissioned officer surnamed Zhang shook his head: "The last general is not afraid, and the 50,000 soldiers will not be afraid. ”

If it is said that when this young general just came to the border to serve as the main general, there were still many unconvinced anger in the border army from top to bottom, and it has already dissipated under the polishing of the past few years. This young man, who was once considered by a group of non-commissioned officers to be the son of a big family in Handan, was impressed by his amazing performance on the battlefield, coupled with his superb archery skills, now the entire border army only has reverence and trust for him, and there is no trace of contempt.

Li Mu confidently looked at the Huns who were getting closer and closer to the north, and confidently raised his voice: "Pass my order, all the soldiers line up, prepare for battle, take me as the standard, and be ready to charge at any time!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Mu rushed to the city gate.

The non-commissioned officer looked at the white horse and white robe that was slowly running away, and nodded fiercely.

......

Fifty thousand Zhao cavalry, arrayed at the foot of the Great Wall, looked down on the approaching Hun cavalry, but surprisingly, none of them had a look of fear on their faces, on the contrary, their faces were full of excitement. From time to time, a soldier looked sideways at the white-robed general in the center, his face full of longing.

Li Mu, who was in a white robe and a white horse, finally showed a touch of ruthlessness on his handsome face, looking at the Hun cavalry who had been less than a mile, and finally slapped the horse's back and rushed towards the Hun cavalry.

He aimed his bow with his left hand at the Hun striker, who was five hundred paces away, and with his right hand he pulled an arrow from his back, and pulled his bow as if he didn't need to aim at all.

Seeing such a miracle, the 50,000 cavalry of the Zhao State followed the steps of the white-robed general like crazy, and launched a charge against the Hun cavalry.

The cavalry on both sides was known for their cavalry shooting, which was very different from the cavalry of the Qin State. The cavalry of the Qin State was good at close combat, so they often directly attacked the enemy's positions and exchanged them with short combat. However, the cavalry of the Xiongnu and Zhao were good at shooting arrows immediately and were longer than long-distance battles, so the tactics were also different, with roundabout tactics being the most common, and there were few moves that directly rushed into the crowd.

Therefore, there was a very strange picture on the battlefield, the cavalry on both sides were scattered very openly, even if they passed by, they rarely drew their swords to fight, but chose to open their bows and arrows, and for a long time, there was no sound of gold and iron fighting on the battlefield.

After the first round of charge, the two armies quickly dispersed the formation, but if everyone was here, they would inevitably laugh out loud, whether it was the cavalry of the Xiongnu or the cavalry of the Zhao State, at most there were no more than 100 people gathered together, scattered all over the battlefield at the moment, extremely scattered. The formation is not in order, it is a taboo for soldiers, and the lack of education of the Huns is just that, but the cavalry formation of Zhao is also so scattered, which should not be in the eyes of many military artists.

But Li Mu didn't think so, Zhao and the Xiongnu were both archers, not good at close combat, and the stray arrows that they had to dodge between the charges were constantly flying, so it was naturally difficult to maintain the integrity of the formation, and the melee cavalry had to maintain the formation in order to tear open the enemy's mouth, but the archers were different, and what they valued was the intrusion from time to time, mainly to harass the enemy. Therefore, the archers were not good at large-scale charges, and paid more attention to repeated intrusions on the enemy, and dispersed into multiple small units was more conducive to the implementation of tactics.

Li Mu was the first person to charge, and there were only a dozen people around him at the moment, but he didn't have a trace of fear, and his white face was already stained with the blood of some Huns, which added a touch of evil to him.

Li Mu clamped his horse's back and rushed forward again with a group of Hun cavalry with hundreds of people, he was the first to launch the first round of charge, so as long as he did not die, he was still the initiator of the second round of charge. As long as he was on horseback, the charge would never stop.

The Hun cavalry in front looked at the Zhao cavalry, a small team of only a dozen people, in shock, never expected that they would dare to take the initiative to charge, but immediately a solemn look appeared on their faces.

I saw Li Mu, who was on a white horse and white robe, constantly bending his bow and arrows with both hands, and only a charge of nearly a hundred paces actually shot out five arrows, and each arrow shot a Hun cavalryman off his horse. With such archery skills, even the strongest archery warriors among the Huns are ashamed of themselves.

The Hun cavalry who reacted had already lost the opportunity to charge, only to see Li Mu plunge into the Hun cavalry pile, fire bows and arrows left and right, and shoot several cavalrymen off their horses.

A Hun leader scolded a Hun word loudly, took out a bow and arrow, and aimed it at Li Mu's back from a distance.

With a whoosh, the arrow actually passed through the thick crowd and swooped straight behind Li Mu.

At this critical moment, Li Mu suddenly fell down on the horse's back, and was able to avoid the arrow, not to mention, Li Mu, who was lying on the horse's back, grabbed the fierce arrow in the air, and the strength of the piggyback on the arrow wore out his palm, but Li Mu felt no pain at all, only to see him stretch his bow and arrow in a lying position, and shoot the Hun arrow at the Hun leader!

Less than a second had passed between the arrow being shot and appearing on the head of the Hun leader, who had not even had time to scream, and an arrow had been stuck in his head, and the arrow had just been shot out of his hand.
