Chapter Seventy-Four: The Storm Rises
After the chaotic crowd, Li Tao gently stroked his beard under his chin, and a sinister smile flashed in his eyes.
The lord is getting more and more calm, and he has the style of a general.
The Huns' pile of dry firewood is ready, and now wait for the lord to put a little spark into this pile of dry firewood, as long as this spark arrives, the thousand Huns will burn like a fire.
Agni, only true fire can quench real gold.
Zhang Feng pulled Dian Wei away, stepped forward to help Ulu up, patted Ulu's shoulder heavily, and then turned around and took off the seven-star sword on horseback without saying a word.
Zhang Feng slowly pulled out the seven-star sword.
The eyes of the Hun soldiers focused on Zhang Feng for a moment, and the shouts and shouts stopped abruptly like a knife, and there was a dead silence between heaven and earth, only the heavy breathing of the Hun soldiers sounded together.
"Hu Yanqing! Dog thief! It's better to kill me, old and young, women and children, birds and beasts! This general swears to the sky, and he swears not to stand with the thief of Huyanqing! At the end of the earth, he swears to destroy it, and whoever helps him is the enemy of the general's life and death! ”
Zhang Feng raised the seven-star sword in his hand fiercely, and shouted loudly: "If you don't kill Hu Yanqing, you will not be a man." ”
A thousand Hun soldiers were like frying the pot in an instant, and they shouted frantically.
"Swear allegiance to the general!"
Ulu and Gongsun Gu were grateful, and looked up to the sky and snorted.
"Never betray!"
Zhang Feng swung the seven-star sword in his hand forward, and shouted hoarsely: "The whole army is leaving!" ”
"Whew!"
More than 1,000 Hun soldiers howled like wolves, turned over their horses, and surged towards Linshu.
The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and there are no cattle and sheep.
Linshu, the court of the Huns.
The royal court, which had just been ransacked by Zhang Feng before, was now plundered by Huyanqing again, and there was not a single cow or sheep within a hundred miles.
Yu Fuluo died, Liu Bao also died, and the golden tribe of the entire Xiongnu royal court did not have a qualified heir, and he called Yanqing, so he pretentiously ascended to the high position of Da Shan Yu in the royal court.
"Come here!"
In the royal court camp, Hu Yanqing pointed to a woman with a haggard face and scolded: "Remove your armor!" ”
This woman was none other than Gongsun Valley's favorite woman, Amilu, and I saw that her clothes were in tatters, and there were whip marks on the exposed mutton fat skin.
In the past few days, she has experienced the darkest days and the brightest nights, Hu Yanqing is like a stallion, she can't sleep day and night, she has the idea of killing herself, but Hu Yanqing threatened her, if she is disobedient, she will hit the black fox tribe's lair and kill everyone.
The kind-hearted Amilu believed it to be true, and in order to cater to Hu Yanqing, he suffered inhuman treatment.
"Damn, didn't you hear it, come and remove the armor for Lao Tzu!"
Hu Yanqing raised the leather whip and swept it over.
"Ahh
Amilu screamed miserably, and his torn shirt immediately broke into two, half draped over Amilu's body, and half slid down the white and red skin.
"Haha......"
Hu Yanqing laughed and took off his armor by himself, and an atrocity began to continue......
A few days later, Hu Yanqing built a high platform in the royal court and performed sacrifices in order to justify his name.
The Xiongnu believed in dogma since ancient times, worshiped the sun and the moon, worshiped the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and all dynasties claimed to be born of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon arrived, and worshiped the sun and the moon at night.
In front of the court, the sound of hu, drums, and desolate tunes filled the sky above the camp, which should have been a joyful grand festival, but this time, it revealed a faint desolation.
A square altar towered in the middle of the camp, and a dozen Huns with disheveled hair painted with colorful oil paint on their faces, feathered clothes, and bone chains of wolf bones hanging from their necks, jumped around the altar with a cowhide drum in their hands, and shouted words that even they themselves could not understand.
In front of the altar, the cavalry teams of several tribes supporting Huyanqing were neatly arranged, each cavalry team was composed of a hundred strong and fierce warriors, they were wearing brand-new Xiongnu robes, powerful armor on their chests and backs, iron bracers with spikes on their wrists, shiny riding boots under their feet, and straddle tall horses, majestic and heroic.
Behind the cavalry, gathered Xiongnu herdsmen from all over the country to see the lively scene.
The desolate sound of the Hun suddenly stopped, and the drum beat suddenly became rapid, a Hun with a beard almost down to the knees took the lead in walking out of the dome tent of Da Dan Yu, the old Hun was followed by the pious new Hun Da Dan Yu Hu Yanqing, followed by Hu Yanqing, is his new Xiongnu right and right Xian Wang, left and right valley king, left and right generals, left and right captains, left and right big households, and left and right Sudu Hou.
The old Huns kowtowed three times in one step, laboriously ascended the square altar, and a dozen young Huns who jumped up and down reverently on the altar, and put the whole person tightly against the table, surrounding the old Huns in the middle like the stars and the moon.
The old Hun raised his arms leisurely, and his loose robe fell open, revealing two thin upper limbs, like a hundred-year-old dead wood in the cold wind, dark and full of wrinkles.
Da Dan Yu Hu Yanqing and all the people behind him knelt down, and rushed to see the excitement, and the Xiongnu herdsmen lay on the grass with great piety.
In fact, these Huns who performed sacrifices had already been bought by Hu Yanqing, just for show.
……
Shan Yuting was on the periphery of the court, Hu Yanqing's confidant Gu Debai was leading a team of more than 4,000 Xiongnu iron horsemen to cruise around on the grassland.
Huyanqing is holding a grand sacrificial ceremony, all the Huns are gathered in Shan Yu Court, if someone invades at this time, go straight to Shan Yu Court.
The consequences will be unimaginable! As a direct cronie of Da Dan Yu under Hu Yanqing, Gu Debai naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a horse galloped from the southeast and shouted: "Commander Wanfu, thirty miles to the southeast, I found a Hun cavalry, and a Han army!" ”
"The Huns? Han? ”
Goodbay asked in a deep voice, "How many rides?" ”
Tanma said: "There are more than 1,000 Hun cavalry, and no less than 4,000 Han cavalry. ”
"More than 5,000 riders?"
Gu Debai's expression was awe-inspiring, and he pulled out his scimitar and slammed it forward, and said sharply: "The warriors of the Great Huns, there is an enemy invading, kill!" ”
"Whew!"
The Hun cavalry behind Gudebai drew their scimitars one after another, screaming miserably, following behind Gudebai, like a storm rolling towards the southeast.
Thirty miles to the southeast, Zhang Feng was driving straight into with the army, this road, he still remembered it vividly, and the last time, he directly took Yu Fuluo's lair.
"Report, thirty miles ahead found a brigade of Hun cavalry, there are 4,000 horsemen!"
"Report, the Hun cavalry has discovered our army!"
"Report, the Hun cavalry is rushing towards our army!"
"Report, the Hun cavalry is less than ten miles away from our army!"
The probe horse drawn from Bai Ma Yi transmitted the movement of the Xiongnu army back like flowing water, Zhang Feng leisurely raised his right arm and swung it forward, and the surging cavalry behind him slowed down.
Then it slowly spread out towards the two wings and set up a battle formation.
Almost as soon as the cavalry formed a formation, a faint black line floated on the green horizon in front of them.
The black line squirmed forward slowly.
In less than a moment, it spread into a dark cloud, completely covering the turquoise grassland, and suddenly, the heavy dark cloud had turned into countless cavalry Hun cavalry, like a dark ant tide, sweeping across the vast grassland and sweeping the sky.
