Black clouds crush the city.

More than 100,000 Hun iron horsemen, violently encircling and suppressing tens of thousands of Zhao Guojing horses.

For the cavalry under Zhao Jia's command, it was like a dark cloud covering the soldiers.

The two sides fought directly from the rising sun to nearly noon, and the red sun hung in the sky, reflecting the blood-colored earth.

The north wind whimpered, blowing the rags that remained on the torn armor, and the terrible breath mixed with the strong smell of blood spread far and wide.

Zhuwenze.

The cattle and sheep, who were already frightened by the sound of war drums, smelled such a strong smell of blood, and they all ran around with restless screams.

No matter how much the herders try to restrain them, they cannot calm their fears.

The drums of war are roaring, and the shouting of killing is still the same.

The battlefield moved towards the north, and the corpses left on the battlefield, as well as the flags and weapons that were forced to be discarded, were still shining in the sun.

The vultures hovered in the sky, coveting the delicious food, but they were afraid of the shouts of killing not far away, and did not dare to fall for a long time.

At this time, the 20,000 cavalry led by Zhao Jia was almost completely defeated.

If it were an ordinary time, even if it was as tough as the cavalry of the Zhao State, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.

However, in this great battle that can affect the entire battle situation, even if they watch their robes fall to the ground, even if the banner is broken and stained with blood, even if the spear has been broken, and the blade has been curled.

They still gritted their teeth and persisted.

"Childe, give the order to retreat, otherwise not many people will be able to return to the land of Shenqi!"

The general of Shenqi Land, who was covered in blood, covered his bleeding left arm, staggered to Zhao Jia's side, crying and pleading.

Zhao Jia stepped forward to help the general up, and said softly: "It's hard work." ”

He turned his head and looked at the car formation in the distance, which had gradually completed, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Even if the cavalry suffered casualties this time, when Li Mu did not order the withdrawal of troops, Zhao Jia would definitely not retreat.

No one knows better than Zhao Jia what this war with the Xiongnu represents.

"Wang Qian, there are 20,000 cavalry left in the land of Shenqi, when will they be able to reach Yanmen County?"

Wang Jian pondered for a long time and said, "Three days at most." ”

Zhao Jia raised his head, looked at the scorching sun hanging in the sky, suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist, and shouted at the guards beside him: "Charge with me, there is no advance or retreat!" ”

Zhao Jia's actions stunned everyone.

In addition to being shocked, they also understood their son-in-law's determination to kill the enemy.

After the silence, hundreds of guards did not say anything to dissuade them, but tightly guarded Gongzi's side and charged forward.

They know very well how stubborn Childe's character is, as long as they decide something, it is difficult to make changes.

In this case, they can only sacrifice their lives to accompany each other.

At least when they still have living people, they can protect their sons from being hurt by the enemy.

"Bell, bell!"

Just as Zhao Jia began to charge, the long-awaited sound of Mingjin suddenly sounded.

The light of the armor opens to the sun.

The cavalry of Zhao State, who were struggling to resist the Huns, seemed to see the dawn in the dark night, which was hope.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

Sima Shang, who was almost exhausted, watched the robe beside him keep falling to the ground, and the pain had already made him feel numb.

He fought hard to kill the enemy, I don't know how many spears were broken, I don't know how many Huns died at his hands.

Rao is like this, and the robes around him are still getting less and less.

Sima was powerless but to desperately squeeze his own potential and kill one Hun after another, both to avenge Pao Ze and to complete the established strategic purpose.

He watched as familiar faces fell to the ground, wishing that the sound of gold would sound sooner.

There will be fewer and fewer robes around him, and Sima Shang's heart will become more and more painful.

Therefore, at the moment when the sound of Mingjin sounded, Sima Shang did not hesitate at all, and immediately shouted hoarsely.

The remaining cavalry of the Zhao State, led by Sima Shang, retreated to both sides.

The Hun cavalry had the intention to pursue, but they did not chase far, and after seeing the dense Zhao chariots in front, they immediately hesitated and did not dare to move forward.

"Drink, ha!"

"Drink, ha!"

"Drink, ha!"

At the front of the 1,300 chariots, the sword and shield soldiers kept tapping their shields with the short blades in their hands, and their mouths made a neat and majestic sound.

Xiongnu Shan Yu took the left and right Xianwang and came to the chariot position of Zhao not far away.

When they looked up, they saw a dense crowd of chariots and soldiers gathered in front of them, and on the left and right of each chariot there were bags full of dirt piled up, and a wall of earth was built that was neither high nor low.

Zhao Guo's soldiers hid behind the rudimentary earthen wall, and all those thick spears that were four or five meters long were exposed to the tip of the spear, and they were waiting for them.

Beside these spearmen, there were also sword and shield men.

In front of the chariot, there were more elite soldiers armed with spears and long ge, waiting for the battle.

"Oops!"

When Xiongnu Shan Yu and others saw this, their faces changed greatly, and their hearts had sunk to the bottom.

Whether it is a simple earthen wall filled with dirt bags, or a dense collection of spears, long ge, or even a hideous chariot drawn by several horses, they are all sharp weapons to restrain cavalry.

But now, these are mixed together, and the despair of the Huns can be imagined.

"Rush into range and fire the arrows!"

Although the Xiongnu were flustered in their hearts, they were unwilling to give up, and ordered the Xiongnu warriors to replace their longbows, in a vain attempt to break the chariot formation set up by Li Mu with bows and arrows.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Ten thousand horses galloped up, and the Hun warriors really swarmed forward, wanting to break the car formation with bows and crossbows.

"Shoot the shot!"

Li Mu stood on top of the commander's chariot and closely watched the Huns' every move.

When he saw that the Huns began to change bows, he guessed the other party's intentions and immediately began to give orders.

"Chirp!"

More than a dozen arrows broke away from their positions and shot towards the open space in the distance, and finally stuck in the ground.

This position is the maximum distance of the range of the archers of the Zhao army, as long as the Huns enter this distance, Li Mu can give an order to shoot arrows.

"Boom!"

The Hun cavalry galloped, and its momentum was like a tsunami.

"Crossbow, wind!"

With the issuance of Li Mu's order, the 100,000 good archers did not hesitate at all, and drew their bows and arrows one after another, and the tips of the arrows pointed far away in the direction where the Huns were rushing.

Zhao Ren is good at riding and shooting.

In order to cope with this war, Li Mu specially asked King Zhao for instructions and recruited 100,000 soldiers who were good at archery.

With chariots and archers to protect their positions, it would definitely be a nightmare for the Hun cavalry.

"Armor, release the arrow!"

Seeing that the Hun cavalry had entered the farthest range of the bow and crossbow, Li Mu did not let all the soldiers release arrows, but ordered the armor guards on the chariot to take the lead in releasing arrows.

The chariot is guarded by armor, and he is almost the best shooter in the entire Zhao country, and the bow and crossbow used are also the best equipment.

The range of the bow and crossbow configured by the Zhao State was already far that of the Huns.

The range of the crossbows used by the armor guards far exceeds that of ordinary crossbowmen.

"Chirp!"

The guards agreed with a bang, and after aiming, they released their bowstrings.

Almost all of these armor guards were marksmen, and even during the charge of the Hun cavalry, the arrows shot by the armor guards were almost all missing.

It's just that there are many people who are targeted by the armor guards, which leads to 1,300 armor guards, and the first round of arrows only caused more than 300 casualties to the Hun cavalry.

Rao is so, and this casualty ratio is enough to surprise the Huns.

They began to slow down their horses, preparing to hide behind their horses and shoot at Zhao Guo's soldiers.

"All the soldiers obey the order and release the arrows!"

At this time, more and more Hun cavalry had rushed into the range of the crossbowmen of the Zhao State.

Li Mu no longer hesitated and gave the order to shoot arrows.

"Chirp!"

100,000 well-trained crossbowmen shot their arrows almost simultaneously, and 100,000 arrows soared into the sky, a scene that is rare in the world.

As soon as Zhao Jia withdrew into the formation, he felt that the originally bright sky suddenly became dark.

When he raised his head, he could still see the sun hanging in the sky, only to see dense arrows, like dark clouds covering the sky, and even the seamless light was almost completely blocked.

"It's scary!"

Zhao Jia's face was solemn.

In the face of such a dense arrow attack, even the powerful armies of later generations will not be spared unless all body armor wears helmets.

"Chirp!"

The arrows rained down and shot into the Huns.

The Huns, who were in the range of their bows and crossbows, were already stupid when they saw the sky covered by arrows.

The Huns are also good at riding and shooting, and this time they gathered more than 100,000 warriors.

However, a single Xiongnu tribe did not have too many manpower, and due to the lack of salt and iron outside the fortress, the cost of making arrows was also very high, so it was impossible for the Huns to waste arrows so much.

Therefore, such a spectacular scene was also seen for the first time by the Huns.

Although many Huns were good at riding and shooting, and were also good at dodging arrows, in the face of the rain of arrows that covered indiscriminately, the Hun cavalry within the range of bows and crossbows had no possibility of dodging at all.

"Puff puff!"

The arrows rained down like raindrops, piercing the bodies of countless Huns.

After a rain of arrows, survivors were extremely rare, and almost the entire ground was covered in a dense mass of arrows.

A few war horses with tenacious vitality and no vital shots were still lying on the ground, their bodies twitching.

"Ritsu!"

The Hun cavalry, who had not yet rushed into the range of their bows and arrows, were all shocked when they saw their companions in such a miserable situation.

They hurriedly grabbed the reins and stared at the dense array of arrows on the ground, their eyes full of fear.

"Phew, ho!"

"Phew, ho!"

"Phew, ho!"

The sound of the 150,000 Zhao soldiers shouting in unison, as if from the summons of the devil from hell, made fear permeate the hearts of all the Huns.

Now that the Zhao army has formed a formation, relying on the right time and place, it is impossible for the Hun cavalry to forcibly break through.

The power of the arrow array finally made the Xiongnu Shan Yu wake up, and he no longer had the courage to attack, so he had to order the soldiers to retreat.

The Xiongnu warriors were already intimidated by the power of the arrow array, and they were unwilling to continue to charge forward at all, and everyone lingered on the periphery of the dense sea of arrows, refusing to step forward easily.

After they heard the retreat order of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, they immediately turned their horses around and retreated, panicking like lost dogs.

Today's Xiongnu Shan Yu has no good breakthrough plan, so he can only retreat first.

Fortunately, the Xiongnu Shan Yu did not completely despair, at least in the canyon, there were still a large number of cattle and sheep, as well as several clear springs from the mountains, enough for 100,000 Hun cavalry to eat and drink for a long time.

"Phew, ho!"

"Phew, ho!"

"Phew, ho!"

The 150,000 soldiers of Zhao did not show the slightest sign of relaxing their vigilance because of the retreat of the Hun cavalry.

They were still tapping their weapons in their hands and shouting.

The outcome of this war has already come to an end in the neat shouts of all the Zhao soldiers.

Time passes.

On the second day, the chariots of the Zhao State had blocked the entrance to the gorge, and the Huns' plan to escape from the narrow exit in the south also ended in failure.

In that position, three thousand people were already stationed.

With the steep terrain, even if the Huns poured out their nests, they would not want to pass through there.

On the night of the third day, the Xiongnu Shan Yu sent people to launch a night attack, wanting to take advantage of the night to raid the Zhao army, and then rushed out of the canyon.

However, Li Mu had already taken precautions, and before the Huns could get close, they were forced back into the canyon by random arrows.

On the fourth day, the Xiongnu sent an envoy to meet Li Mu and pray for surrender, but his intention to surrender was discovered, and the Xiongnu envoy was beheaded.

In the following ten days, the Xiongnu repeatedly sent troops to break through the siege, but they were repelled by the well-defended Li Mu.

It wasn't until two months later that the Huns finally began to panic when they saw that there were fewer and fewer cattle and sheep in the canyon, and that the exits of the canyon were blocked more and more tightly.

Even, some large tribes began to snatch the cattle and sheep allocated by the small tribes, just to be able to live longer.

After a few days, as the cattle and sheep became less and less, the Xiongnu tribes finally began to compete with each other.

Some small tribes of hundreds of people were even slaughtered by large tribes, and the so-called Xiongnu alliance basically fell apart at this time.

Canyon North Exit Location.

Li Mu and Zhao Jia stood side by side on the arrow tower and witnessed the turmoil that had just occurred among the Huns.

"At this rate, in three days at most, the cattle and sheep in the canyon will be slaughtered."

"At most, in one month, the war horses belonging to the Huns will also be eaten."

"At that time, the general will be able to behead 100,000 levels without bloodshed, and obtain a world-famous meritorious service that will go down in history."

Zhao Jia looked at this Li Mu, with respect and amazement in his eyes.

Throughout the ages, the future, it is possible to solve the problem of the northern Xiongnu in this way, and at just a small price, you can slaughter more than 100,000 Xiongnu iron horsemen, which has never been encountered at all.

Zhao Jia in his previous life only knew that Li Mu had won this war, but he didn't expect to win in this way, let alone that the proportion of casualties between the two sides was so different.

"It's just a pity that there is more than four months of confrontation with the Huns before and after, although the soldiers can win the victory without blood, the 150,000 troops stationed here will also consume countless money and food."

"After this battle, Zhao Guoyi's vitality was greatly damaged, and if he couldn't get enough food and grass, it would be difficult to use his sword soldiers again for two years."

Zhao Jia was silent when he heard this.

The coming victory, of course, is a joy.

It's a pity that in the past two months, the grain and grass that has been continuously transported have also caused great pressure on the treasury of Zhao State.

Zhao Guo, who did not have much grain in stock, almost exhausted his family funds in order to support Li Mu's battle to break the Huns.

But soon, Zhao Jia asked out loud: "Yijia knows, even if the Huns slaughter all the war horses, they can only survive three months, why does the general say that it is more than four months?" ”

Li Mu glanced at Zhao Jia lightly and said softly: "Human flesh can also be eaten." ”
