Chapter 154: Blood Is Not Cold

South of the Manhan Mountains.

This is the confluence of Barbarian Mountain and Zhuwenze, and at this time, the two armies are facing each other, and they dare not act rashly.

Immediately close to the edge of the canyon were eight hundred cavalrymen, and although their formation seemed scattered, they resembled a fierce pack of wolves.

Not long after Touman returned to Biansai, the defenders of Yanmen County really came violently, wanting to recapture the cattle, sheep and herdsmen.

Taking Touman's suggestion, he cut down trees to block the passage to the south of the canyon, and stationed him behind him with good archers.

The Yanmen soldiers attacked several times, but because the terrain was too narrow and there were obstacles in front of them, it was difficult to break through into the canyon.

After dropping more than a dozen corpses, the Yanmen soldiers had to give up attacking from the south.

Fortunately, the defenders of Yanmen County were familiar with the terrain and soon went around to the Barbarian Mountain in the north of the canyon, wanting to attack the canyon from there.

It's a pity that the leader of the Zodiac was already prepared and personally led 800 warriors to wait for the battle.

Although there were more than 2,000 defenders in Yanmen, most of them were foot soldiers, and they did not dare to rush to charge in the face of the 800 cavalry who were waiting for the battle.

As for the cavalry, although they were confident that they would defeat these two thousand soldiers, they were bound to suffer casualties.

Today's guards are only thinking about how to delay time and wait for the rest of the Xiongnu tribes on the grassland to send troops.

It is not a wise move to fight with the Zhao people now.

It was with this intention that the Tyrant did not attack, but was able to hold the entrance of the canyon and prevent these county soldiers from driving away the cattle and sheep.

The Yanmen County guard, as if he was also waiting for something, did not have much desire to attack, and the two were in a stalemate.

Both sides seem to feel that it is beneficial for them to continue the stalemate, so they have a very tacit understanding and do not act rashly.

The wind rose and swept in from the north.

The soldiers on both sides who were waiting for the battle felt a little chill, but no one took even half a step back.

For the Sulu tribe, the countless cattle and sheep in the canyon behind them are the foundation of the tribe's winter survival, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

For the defenders of Yanmen County, in addition to the mission, there is also a little annoying and unforgettable hatred.

In front of the garrison of Yanmen County, Hu Lie stared at the man in front of him, holding his spear tightly with both hands, like a beast that chooses people to devour.

His eyes were full of murderous intent, and he hated to shatter all these hateful people in front of him.

Over the years, the Xiongnu have invaded year after year.

Although Li Mu's policy has greatly preserved the safety of the lives and property of the people in the border area, the people are also unbearable.

Every time the Huns were on the border, they had to hold back the hatred in their hearts and deliberately leave a little food for these hateful predators in front of them.

The most unbearable thing is that after these hateful marauders succeeded, they would still show off their might in front of Wubao, showing off their pitiful booty on the one hand, and wantonly mocking and insulting the Zhao people in Wubao.

In the northern Xinjiang of Zhao State, Lou annoys people and Zhao people live together.

Both have an element of instability in their blood, proud, fierce and belligerent.

If it weren't for Li Mu's five orders, prohibiting anyone from going out to fight with the Huns, I am afraid that Lou Nuren and Zhao Ren, who have always been known for their bravery, would have been desperate to kill them, even if they fought to the death.

They are suppressed, suppressed, suppressed for too long.

To this day, many of the annoying people in the building can no longer be suppressed, and even want to disobey the military order, and go forward to fight with the scarlet.

It was only because of the looting that many villages and houses in the north were burned down.

Not only that, but even the annoying ancestral graves of Lou were opened, the corpses of the ancestors were exposed to the wilderness, and all the burial goods in the tombs were snatched away.

If it were more than 100 years ago, Lou Annoying people didn't care so much about their ancestors and ancestral graves.

After integrating into Zhao for so long, while Zhao people were affected by Lou's annoying customs, Zhao Guo's customs also deeply affected Lou's annoying people.

At least now the building is annoying, and it will no longer expel the old people of the tribe as it used to be, and let them die on their own.

They also learned filial piety, learned to respect the elders, and learned that the dead were greater, and that their ancestors would be buried in graves instead of dying in the unknown wilderness.

However, not long ago, the behavior of burning houses, digging graves, and insulting the bones of their ancestors has completely angered the Lou annoyance.

Even if there were not many villages destroyed, after the news spread, the entire Loufu tribe regarded this incident as a great shame.

The belligerent factor in the blood of the building annoyance never stops.

They are eager to fight, eager to bathe in the blood of their enemies, to wash away the shame of their ancestors' exposure to the wilderness.

"Captain, I'll wait for the battle!"

Hulie looked at the people in the distance, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he felt in his heart, and finally he couldn't hold back anymore, and came to the side of the captain, shouting for battle.

"Please fight!"

Qi followed closely, even though his body was a little thinner than Hu Lie's, the murderous aura emanating from his body did not fall behind at all.

"We ask for war, and we are willing to slaughter all the thieves, although we will die without regrets!"

The rest of the Lou Fu warriors who felt humiliated also stepped forward neatly and shouted for battle.

The Lieutenant could feel the pent-up anger in these buildings, like a volcano about to erupt, and nothing could stop it.

Du Wei felt that if he suppressed it any longer, it would not make these buildings annoying and resentful, but it would not be beautiful.

"Let's fight too!"

Just when the commander was in a dilemma, many Zhao people also stepped forward, waving the weapons in their hands, and their eyes were extremely determined.

For so many years, the Zhao people watched the Huns go south to plunder, but they never did anything.

Li Mu almost every once in a while, he would kill cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers, although these border defenders ate happily, they also had a strong sense of grievance and guilt in their hearts.

The cattle and sheep they ate came from the people.

But as the defenders of the border fortress, they could only watch the Huns go south again and again to plunder, but they could only grit their teeth and hold the weapons in their hands.

They feel aggrieved!

They felt humiliated!

They want to water this land they owe with the blood of their enemies!

They want to sacrifice the head of the enemy to their parents and relatives!

Lou's annoying blood has never been cold.

The dignity of the Zhao people has never been allowed to be trampled on.

After being suppressed for many years, when they learned that the Huns dared to insult the corpses of their ancestors, they could no longer bear it.

"Captain, I'll wait for the battle and kill all the thieves!"

The neat shouts suddenly sounded in Zhao Guojun, and almost all of Zhao Guo's soldiers shouted with their necks strained.

In the confrontation with Xu Lao, the eight hundred cavalry, who were already a little lax, were startled by the sudden shouts of Zhao Guo's soldiers, and they all became nervous.

The lieutenant turned his head to look at the eager faces behind him, and suddenly felt his blood surge.

Is it just that the soldiers have blood?

No!

As the commander of the border guard, the blood has never been cold, his dignity cannot be trampled on, and he also has the heart to fight!

The shame accumulated over the years can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy!
