Chapter 469: The Fugitive Aries King (Second Update)

In the north of the Zhao State is a vast grassland. This grassland is extremely vast and lush, it is a paradise for nomads, the so-called "the sky is vast and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep low" describes the scene here, and this place is also known as Mo Nan.

To the north of the desert is the endless Gobi and the desert, and thousands of miles further north is Lake Baikal, also known as the "North Sea".

In this desert plateau between the Beihai Sea and the Monan grassland, people call it "Mobei".

Mobei is the base camp and origin of nomads.

In Chinese history, the nomads went south again and again, and were defeated by the Central Plains Dynasty again and again, but because of the existence of Mobei, the nomads were always able to get a place to rest and recuperate, so as to make a comeback again and again.

If it weren't for the existence of Mobei, then it is very likely that some powerful dynasties such as the Han and Tang dynasties would be able to completely eliminate this great disaster that has posed a great threat to the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.

Under the scorching summer sun, a Xiongnu tribe was hurrying south along the Gobi.

This is actually an uncommon sight, and usually by the end of the winter, a large number of nomadic tribes should have already made their way south to the desert, rather than waiting until the summer to go south.

The state of this tribe is not very good.

In terms of numbers, the population of this Xiongnu tribe is about 10,000 people, which can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized tribe for the vast grassland.

Moreover, in this tribe, the ratio of human beings to cattle, sheep and livestock has actually reached about 1 to 1, which means that this tribe only has about 10,000 livestock, which is undoubtedly a very strange ratio.

Not only that, but you will also find this Xiongnu tribe, in which the proportion of males is much smaller than that of normal tribes, and it looks like less than one-third.

Many people looked dazed and panicked, and just drove their horses south.

The sound of hooves rolled, splashing countless smoke and dust, which could be clearly seen even from a dozen miles away.

It's just that at the forefront of this Xiongnu tribe is a cavalry force of more than 3,000 people.

To say that it is an army is to gather all adult males together.

And in the center of these male riders was a bearded, resolute Hun man about forty years old, this Hun man was obviously a nobleman, as could be seen from his clothes. Everyone else used simple fur, but this Xiongnu nobleman wore a tiger skin.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from far and near, and the Hun nobles turned around very vigilantly, and found that it was the scout they had just released, and their expressions couldn't help but relax a little. Turning to the scout, he asked, "How's it going?" ”

The scout had a very solemn expression on his face, and said to the Hun nobles: "The Aries King, the Evil King is coming to catch up again. ”

"This damn Evil King!" The Xiongnu nobles scolded a few swear words fiercely, and said angrily: "This king has withdrawn from the competition for the position of Shan Yu, why is he still unwilling to let go of this king?" ”

By the side of the Hun Aries King, all those who heard the scout's words turned pale.

You must know that the tribe of the Aries King had tens of thousands of people and millions of cattle and sheep at its peak, but due to the failure of the Aries King to compete for the throne of the Huns, the warriors in the tribe suffered heavy losses after several successive battles, so they had to retreat south.

However, it is clear that the victorious evil king did not want to let go of this Aries king, and led a large army of cavalry to chase all the way, and the two sides fought several battles on the road, and the Aries king broke his arm all the way to survive, and finally fled here with such a few people.

The Aries King took a deep breath on his chest, took several deep breaths before calming down a little, and said in a loud voice: "Don't panic, everyone, as long as we can enter Mo Nan today, there will be reinforcements at that time!" ”

After the Aries King's words, the whole army's heart seemed to be a little more stable, so the Aries King immediately issued an order while the iron was hot: "All of them, gather immediately, and prepare to meet the damned King of the North Sea!" ”

As the Aries King spoke, billowing smoke and dust had begun to appear above the horizon around them, and it was clear that the pursuers were not far away.

The imminence of the pursuers apparently brought a great deal of psychological pressure, and almost unanimously all of them clamped the belly of the horse under their crotch and whipped their mounts to make them run faster.

But even so, the distance between the two sides is still getting closer.

A young man who followed the Aries King and looked a little similar to the Aries King tightened his grip on the bowstring in his hand, and his anger was overflowing: "Father, we fought with them!" ”

The Aries King looked left and right, and suddenly grabbed the hand of the man in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Xianshan, Father has given you an order, you immediately go south with a team of hundreds!" ”

"To the south?" Xian Shan was a little surprised, and said, "Are you going to show the way for the reinforcements of the Gu Gu Nu King?" ”

The Aries King sneered and said, "The Gugu Nu King is still fighting against the Donghu people, how could he run thousands of miles away to rescue us?" ”

Xianshan was shocked when he heard this: "But Father, if there are no reinforcements, we will not be able to resist the army of the Evil King!" ”

The Aries King said impatiently, "Of course I know, so this time I want you to hurry up and find reinforcements!" ”

Xian Shan scratched his head and said, "Now that the Evil King has claimed to be Shan Yu, and the royal decree has spread throughout the entire desert, except for the Gugu Nu King, will anyone really dare to go against him?" ”

The Aries King gritted his teeth, leaned closer to Xianshan's ear and said, "This time, you go to Zhao Kingdom for help!" ”

Xianshan's body shook and he almost fell off his horse.

The Aries King patted Xianshan's shoulder vigorously and said sharply: "As long as you go south all the way without stopping, you will be able to reach Yunzhong County in Zhao State in four days at most." There are the clansmen of King Lou Fu there, you go to them, and let them take you to find the king of Zhao Kingdom! Remember, now only the king of Zhao can save us, and the life and death of the entire tribe are tied to you. Just go! ”

Xianshan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, saluted the Aries King, and left the tribal brigade with a hundred Hun cavalry, heading south as fast as he could.

After a while, Xianshan, who was riding on his horse, suddenly looked back and found that the tribe was already in the formation of smoke and dust several miles away, and the figures of countless cavalry loomed in the smoke and dust.

Another big war began.

Xianshan was so confused that he didn't know whether he should continue south according to his father's orders, or turn around and go back to the battle.

You must know that among the clansmen in that battlefield, there is a wife who is about to give birth after being pregnant for several months!

Xianshan grabbed the mane of his mount's neck with both hands, and after a few moments, he turned his head through gritted teeth and whipped the mount's ass fiercely, and walked away.

"You must hold on until I come back with reinforcements!"
