"Bell, bell, bell!"

"Huh——! Whew——! Whew——! Whew——! ”

When the retreating golden cymbals of the Xiongnu army rang in a hurry, a series of strange whistling sounds sounded almost simultaneously inside the circle of the Han army, and at the same time, twenty or thirty fire points flew into the sky one after another.

The strange whistling sound was completely drowned out in the huge shouting and killing, and in the fierce battle, not many people noticed the fire points that suddenly burst into the air, but what happened next stunned all the Huns, including Mao Dun, and most of the Han soldiers - those fire points suddenly exploded in the night sky, making a louder noise, and at the same time, they also bloomed beautiful and huge flame flowers!

"What's that?"

"What's that? What the hell are the barbarians doing? ”

When the soldiers of the two armies screamed one after another, Xiang Kang's direct guards, as well as the personal soldiers of the Han army commanders on the left and right wings, started together, and took out the original grenades that had not been used in this battle and lit them, and then rushed to the front and threw them at the dense Hun crowd outside the Han army's circle array, and threw hundreds of them in one go, and the huge explosion roar quickly sounded in the dense crowd of Hun soldiers!

"Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Although they had already seen primitive grenades in the battle with Li Zuoche's troops of the Han army, and although the Xiongnu generals of all sizes had repeatedly told their soldiers that the primitive grenades of the Han army were only terrifying, in fact, the power was very pitiful, and there was almost no effect on people. However, after so many primitive grenades suddenly exploded continuously, they were forced by the loud noise, and the Hun soldiers were suddenly in chaos, and countless people subconsciously pulled their feet and ran.

Immediately afterwards, when the soldiers of the Han army continued to throw the primitive grenades one after another, the general attack drums in the Han army's flag array also sounded, and hundreds of drums beat wildly as if the sky was falling apart.

A miracle also appeared, the total strength of the Han army was more than three times that of the Han army, the Hun soldiers first heard the sound of their own army, and were suddenly thrown by the Han army The primitive grenades were blown up, and finally coupled with the rapid and sudden launch of the Han army's general attack, the left and right flanks and the Hun soldiers on the position of the Chinese army were defeated and fled together, and were killed by the Han army, which was far inferior to their own strength, and they only wanted to flee for their lives, without any idea of turning back to face the battle.

Mao Dun also rode his horse and fled to the front, Mao Dun knew very well that his bad luck was good, and when the guards sent the Ming Jin signal, they happened to catch up with the Han army and launched a strong counterattack almost at the same time, so it led to the complete collapse of his army's battle line, but Mao Dun was not panicked, because Mao Dun was more aware of the tactical mobility gap between the self-army and the Han army, and knew that the soldiers of the self-army dismounted and fought as long as they quickly re-mounted their horses, or they could completely throw off the Han army in a few minutes. Then he can quickly flee to a distance under his white-haired banner to regroup, even if he will definitely suffer some losses, it will definitely not be too much.

As for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and subordinates, of course Mao Dun can't manage so much, and Mao Dun can be sure that even King Zuo Xian, who is resolutely opposed to giving up these people, will definitely not think about the fate of his subordinates at this moment - in this world, nothing is more important than his own life!

The situation is also as Mao Dun expected, after fleeing the battlefield with the head of the mouse, the Huns who were forced to dismount and fight on foot really subconsciously rushed to the horses temporarily protected by the archers. But what these Huns didn't know was that in the distance behind them, hundreds of Han army carts were also driven by Xiang Kang's guards, rushing towards their horses!

"Ignition!"

A torch came to the back of the car, the fuse coated with nitrate powder ignited, the fuse burned and flew into the wooden box behind the car, a rocket also roared out quickly, at a speed far faster than the footsteps of the Hun soldiers, shot at the Hun horse group that was temporarily protected by the Hun archers, the sharp arrow shot the Hun people and horses at the same time, the front end of the cartridge also suddenly exploded, making a loud noise in the Hun horse herd, and bloomed the beautiful flame flowers that had exploded in the sky before!

Like the primitive grenade, the direct attack power of a swarm of rockets that appeared about 1,600 years in advance is not strong, and the shooting power of the arrows is remarkable that it is similar to ordinary bows and arrows, and the intensive firing did not kill and injure many Huns, but the rockets that suddenly exploded suddenly blew up the horses of the Hun cavalry, and there were not enough manpower to restrain them, and countless war horses ran wild before they had time to find their masters, and fled in all directions in the blink of an eye. Many of the Hun cavalry who were about to touch the reins of their horses were also caught in the air, and they could only scream and roar at the frightened fleeing horses, "Come back!" Give me back! ”

Woooo More swarms of rockets flew in, and the target was still the already chaotic Hun horse herd, thousands of war horses were frightened and galloped, running in all directions in the dark night, and more Hun soldiers also shouted in despair, "Come back!" You brutes! Give me all back! ”

Not only the Hun horses in front of the Chinese army position were assaulted, but also many Han army carts rushed to the two wings, tilting towards the Hun horses that were greeting the master, and the rockets that could make a loud noise, countless war horses were frightened and fled, and countless Hun soldiers were completely red-eyed, or tightly grabbed the reins of the fleeing war horses, and scolded being dragged around by the war horses, or in order to get on the horse first and you pulled me and pulled me, fighting with each other, during which there were several Hun soldiers fighting for a war horse, Drawing swords against each other, the scene was chaotic.

If the soldiers of the Han army still can't seize such an opportunity, of course, they will be too sorry for Xiang Kang and Han Ting, who have been in Guanzhong for several years, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Xiongnu to flee in panic and a big chaos, the Han soldiers with all iron weapons in their hands forgot their hunger, thirst and exhaustion, and walked fast one by one, slashing and stabbing at the back of the defeated Xiongnu soldiers, cutting down and stabbing these grassland robbers, chopping them into pieces, and killing them until the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses piled up like a mountain.

During this period, there were many Han soldiers who rode on the war horses that pulled the armor and weapons, and rushed to the Huns who were competing for horses, frantically waving their knives and chopping and chopping, and the grassland robbers also let out a desperate beast roar, or unwillingly lying in a pool of blood, or subconsciously scattered and fled, and those Hun cavalry who were lucky enough to grab the war horse had no idea of turning back to fight to the death, and immediately ran away with the horse as soon as they got on the horse, for fear that if they escaped slowly, they would never have the opportunity to return to the grassland.

More Han cavalry rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of Guan Ying and Yang Xi's two generals, and they didn't have time to say hello to Xiang Kang, but they hurriedly confirmed that Xiang Kang's banner was also closely protected by the Han army's heavy armor soldiers, and immediately patted their horses to join the pursuit, brandishing blood-stained sabers and slashing wildly, harvesting the lives of the Hun defeated soldiers faster and more effectively, the Hun defeated soldiers were panicked, only a few people raised their swords to resist, and more Hun defeated soldiers desperately slapped their horses and fled north, fleeing to the dark north in the distance.

The battlefield was completely chaotic, from the sky bird down, the ground was full of Han army foot cavalry, but also everywhere were Hun cavalry who fled in a hurry and were forced to flee on foot, as well as the fleeing war horse that lost its master, there was me in the enemy, I had the enemy, the Huns were desperately going north, even if they saw that there was already an enemy around them, they did not have any intention of fighting, they only hated their father and mother for giving birth to two legs less, and the Han soldiers were also desperately going north, seeing the enemy without saying a word is a knife and a spear, Desperately harvesting the enemy's head like chopping melons and vegetables, the shouts of the Han soldiers and the shouts of the Hun cavalry merged into one and soared into the sky.

The old and weak women and children of the Huns in the distance to the north also abandoned their cattle and sheep property, crying and shouting to join the team to flee to the north, but these old and weak women and children of the Huns, whether they have horses or no horses, are also destined to not escape the cruel butcher's knife of the Han soldiers, when a group of Han cavalry first caught up with them, the bloody slaughter also unfolded, the Han soldiers just waved their knives and stabbed spears, and desperately slaughtered the parents and accomplices of these robbers with red eyes, as well as the future steppe bandits, Countless white-haired old Hun robbers and big-bellied female robbers howled and fell in a pool of blood, and more Hun old and weak women and children knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging the Han soldiers with tears to show mercy, but the Han soldiers did not understand their pleas, and they had long known that if there were no accomplices to do evil, the Han people in the frontier would not have to suffer so much, suffer so many crimes, and live day and night in the fear brought by the grassland bandits, so the butcher's knives of the Han soldiers still waved non-stop, Many tired Han soldiers also trampled on the bodies of these robber accomplices directly, and the robber accomplices cried and screamed to the sky, but the Han soldiers were like iron stones!

About half an hour later, Uncle Zhou led a Han infantry brigade of more than 200,000 to arrive at the battlefield, and it was too late to greet Xiang Kang, but only assigned 30,000 troops to protect Xiang Kang, and then Uncle Zhou immediately led the rest of the army to continue north, chasing the enemy overnight with torches, cleaning the battlefield more effectively and carefully, executing every injured steppe bandit who fell to the ground, eliminating every stubborn jackal outside the Saiwai, and playing the most beautiful Han song with the wailing and crying voice of the defeated Huns.

The state of the army was too poor, the Han army Li Zuoche only chased out a few miles away and chose to rest the whole team, and then under the leadership of Li Zuoche and Xiang Guan, carrying the captured heads and scarred wounded back in front of Xiang Kang, Li Zuoche and Xiang Guan bowed to Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang hurriedly picked them up with his own hands, and then took Li Zuoche's hand and said excitedly: "Guangwujun, thanks to you, if you weren't willing to take the risk to contain the main force of the Hun barbarians here, we would not have achieved these big victories in today's battle." ”

"Your Majesty has won the award, and your subordinates are just doing their best."

Li Zuoche was modest, Xiang Kang didn't be polite to him, just let go of him, and turned his gaze to the blood-covered Xiang Guan next to him, his eyes flashed with tears and Xiang Guan, who was also full of tears, and only after a while did he open his arms and Xiang Guan hugged each other, choked up and said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work." ”

"My own brother, don't be so polite." Xiang Guan replied hoarsely, but the tears in his eyes flowed more.

Xiang Kang was also in tears, and it took a long time before he let go of Xiang Guan, and continued to look at the torches and crowds of Han soldiers all over the mountains and fields in the north, his heart was surging, and after a long time, Xiang Kang suddenly asked Li Zuoche: "Guangwujun, you said that in this battle, we can fight for a few years of peace for the frontier?" ”

"At least ten years! At least for ten years, the Huns did not dare to go south to herd horses! Li Zuoche replied categorically, and said: "If we can kill Mao Dun, our border people of the Han Dynasty can enjoy peace for at least twenty years!" ”

"Is that easy?" Xiang Kang smiled and said: "I saw very clearly just now, Mao Dun's banner was the first to flee to the north, and many Hun cavalry also ran away with him, although we still have Brother Xiang Zhuang's army in the north to intercept it, but it will definitely not be able to stop so many Hun defeated soldiers, if you want to kill Mao Dun directly, how easy is it?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Li Zuoche was shocked, and said: "As long as Your Majesty allows our pursuers to resolutely pursue northward, pursue to Shanwu City and then reorganize the team, and do not give the Maodun barbarians a chance to gather the defeated troops and reorganize the team during this period, we have a great hope that we can directly kill the Maodun barbarians!" ”

"What do you mean?" Xiang Kang was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked Li Zuoche: "Could it be that Guang Wujun had any clever arrangements for my brother Xiang Zhuang before he left Shanwu?" ”

"Your Majesty is clever, that's exactly the case." Li Zuoche replied with a smile, and then whispered to Xiang Kang about his advance arrangements, Xiang Kang laughed when he heard it, and hurriedly sent someone to give Uncle Zhou an order, asking Uncle Zhou to resolutely lead the army to pursue, and chase until Shanwu City and then rest the whole team, and strive to not give Mao Dun a chance to reorganize the team.

Or when the sky was twilight, the cruel battlefield was completely displayed in front of Xiang Kang, the huge battlefield was full of dead corpses, blood everywhere, and there were also Han soldiers shuttling around looking for wounded companions, the baggage carts and tents in the Hun camp were still burning, the air was rippled with a strong smell of blood, and it was disgusting, and the corpses in many places were piled up into hills, and the flowing blood gathered into a puddle of blood, reflecting red light in the sun.

Although he had seen such a scene countless times, when he saw this shocking scene again, Xiang Kang couldn't help but sigh, and said to himself with his eyes shining: "There are too many people who died in this battle, too many. Overnight, we and the Huns, I don't know how many gray-haired parents have lost their sons, we don't know how many long-awaited wives have lost their husbands, and how many children who are waiting to be fed have lost their fathers forever....... ”

"Report!" Xiang Kang's self-talk was interrupted by a sudden urgent report, and a guard rushed to Xiang Kang and said, "Your Majesty, our army scouts have found that some of the old and weak women and children of the Huns have fled to the far east in the east. ”

"Divide the army into three thousand pursuits!" The tears flickering in Xiang Kang's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he ordered with a stern expression: "Kill them all!" Leave no mouth alive! Don't take prisoners! Then give the order to the surrounding cities, and when you see the Huns barbarians, you will be killed! ”

The guard took the order and left, and Xu Ji next to him said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you just said that there are too many people killed in this battle. ”

"To be merciful to our enemies is to be cruel to ourselves." Xiang Kang replied coldly: "For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the Han Frontier, and for the peace and contentment of our Li Shu in the Han Frontier, I can go back on my word, I can bear the infamy, and I can also see more blood flowing into the river!" ”

At noon, the Han army pursued the group of Huns who escaped last night, although these exhausted Huns all chose to kneel and surrender, and begged the Han soldiers to give them a way to live with tears, but the Han soldiers still resolutely carried out Xiang Kang's order, wielding a butcher's knife to slaughter all the Huns who numbered as many as six or seven thousand people, because the Han soldiers knew that if they did not do so, they would not only disobey Xiang Kang's holy decree, but also destined to make more compatriots suffer, Suffering from the disaster of war - when the steppe bandits went south to invade the Central Plains, they never talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Blood once again stained the earth red, but fortunately, this time it was not the blood of the Central Plains, not the blood of the Han people.
