Yumen Pass has rejuvenated, and some emerald green shoots can already be seen on the road beginning to germinate.

Standing on the tower of this young city again, looking directly in the direction of the Western Regions.

Han Zeng pursed his lips slightly, and suddenly felt a little angry in his heart!

The land of the Western Regions is filled with the blood of countless Zhuxia warriors and heroes of the Han family!

Since Li Guangli's first attack on Dawan, there have been tens of thousands of people buried in the Western Regions by the Han family.

Therefore, this land should be the inseparable sacred territory of the Zhuxia nation.

When it is like Kyushu!

Thinking of this, Han Zeng opened his hands and said to the left and right: "Shiyun: The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" My teacher Dong Zi said: In the first month of spring, the great unification, the justice of spring and autumn! ”

"It's a pity that there are hundreds of millions of people in the Western Regions, but they can't bathe in the king, Ze Tianzi is virtuous, I really feel sorry!"

"My eldest husband, who has read the books of the sages, knows the way of etiquette and humility, and has been educated by the Son of Heaven, can An Neng turn a blind eye to the status quo in the Western Regions?"

"I must mention the three-foot sword, cast the sword into a plow, take the land of the Western Regions for Your Majesty, save the people of the Western Regions from the clutches of the Huns, and save the people from fire and water!"

The soldiers on the left and right listened, and their hearts were full of joy.

Especially this Yumen Captain Lai Yue, he can't help himself!

You must know that in the past, even when Li Guangli was there, when he was most proud, he did not openly express his covetousness and ambition for the Western Regions so openly.

Of course, as an officer promoted by Li Guangli back then, Lai Yue understood that Li Guangli needed to take into account the reactions of the countries in the Western Regions, especially the thoughts of the Wusun people.

So don't dare to be too bold.

However, as a soldier, few people care about justice.

There is only one concept in the hearts of soldiers - military merit!

Not to mention that Lai Yue and the Xiongnu had a hatred of destroying the country, killing his father, killing his mother, and killing his brother.

Therefore, listening to Han Zeng's straightforward statement, he almost knelt down on the spot, bowed his head, and expressed his loyalty.

Even so, Lai Yue said happily: "What the general said is very true! The people of the Western Regions are indeed born in fire and water, long in thorns, and always look forward to the rescue of the king. ”

Lai Yue is indeed not wrong in what he said.

The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, except for powerful countries like Wusun and Dawan, are the rest not poor people who are exploited, oppressed, and oppressed by the Xiongnu layer by layer?

Just like Lai Yue's mother country, the population is only a few thousand, like such a small country and widows, originally borrowed their 3,000 courage and did not dare to resist the Xiongnu.

However, the Huns were brutal and greedy, and they sucked the marrow of all countries.

The squeeze is incomparably great!

Moreover, the Huns are going to kill people if they don't agree with each other!

For example, the kings of Shache, Qiuzi, Yanlu and other countries often change.

One behaved so that the Huns were not pleased, so they forced the king to abdicate and change the other to be obedient.

This is true for these large countries, and even more brutal for small countries.

Once the Huns were dissatisfied with the wealth and grain of Nagong, their cavalry would enter the small country and take it themselves.

Therefore, the countries of the Western Regions, from the royal family to the common people and slaves, were full of hatred for the Huns.

As long as they have the opportunity, they will not give up the possibility of breaking free from the control of the Xiongnu.

Just like the Turtles did last year.

Han Zeng glanced back at Lai Yue, smiled, and didn't say anything else, just asked, "Where are the people of Wang Duhu?" ”

"General Qiyu, the last general was informed two hours ago, saying that he had left the royal capital of Loulan, and he should arrive at Yumen in a few hours......"

"Hmm!" Han Zeng nodded and continued to look ahead.

Huns......

He can't wait to see it!

…………………………

Between Loulan and Yumen, there is an empty wilderness.

This is the influence of the ancient desert.

The spring wind is still a little cold.

Sandwiched between them, hitting people in the face, it hurt a little badly.

Zhao Zhen hid his face in his felt hat and followed behind the Xiongnu Zheng Lanyu, and the two of them discussed as they walked.

"The Han Dynasty is still going to attack...... Lan Yu said worriedly: "The general Zhang Anshi has returned to Loulan, and now he is one of the Jiuqing Shangshu Ling."

The Huns can no longer support it, and the royal court already has a new big order

Therefore, Lan Yu's caution and horror are completely conceivable.

Even Zhao Zhen didn't know how to describe the current situation.

He sighed, shook his head, and said, "I don't know if the King of Hardship was right or wrong when he ambushed the soldiers under the Tianshan Mountain......"

The ambush at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains was a stroke of genius for Li Ling and his group.

It's the key to turning the tide of battle!

It is also the reason why the war became famous and shocked all departments!

This battle allowed Li Ling to successfully gain the trust of the sages and tribes, so that he could successfully become the first general of the king of the day, and was supported by the sages to order the Western Regions.

In the future, there will be more opportunities to go further and become the four pillars of the Huns.

Military successes did not save political defeats

It was a bolt from the blue!

When Zhao Zhen heard about this in Loulan, he almost didn't dare to move forward.

Zhang Anshi did not leave the Western Regions, then he would inevitably become extremely bloody.

He will definitely become a ruthless and brutal general!

Maybe it's another Wu Anjun!

If I accidentally provoke him, I'm afraid I don't want to go back alive.

What's even worse is that since this Jun is in charge of Hexi, with his temper, I am afraid that in the future, whether it is the direction of the Western Regions or Mobei, it will not be better!

With him in charge, the tail of the Han Dynasty cavalry still doesn't reach the sky?

However, the strategic situation of the Xiongnu is extremely unfavorable.

The civil strife in the royal court has lasted for a winter, and there is no accurate news so far.

On the Western Regions, the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and Bailongdui completely changed hands.

The Cheshi people could only withdraw to the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and join forces with the Pu countries to protect themselves.

And the loss of the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains has opened the northern gate of the Western Regions!

Now, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty can unknowingly concentrate their forces in the territory of Qiuzi-Weili, and then launch a surprise attack on the hinterland of the Western Regions.

The only thing the Xiongnu could do was to hold the passage of the Tianshan Mountains and the bay of the water.

However, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can anyone prevent a thousand thieves?

The Tianshan Mountains and the Jixian Water Channel, which are hundreds of miles long, as long as one place is lost and broken through by the Han Dynasty cavalry, the whole line will collapse!

Both the dangerous beard and the extravagance could be seized by the Han Dynasty.

Dangerous must, luxury and loss, Jingjue, Shache and other countries naturally cannot be guaranteed.

And that's not even the deadliest!

After all, it's man-made.

The key is ......

Zhao Zhen looked at Lan Yu's expression, and then observed the appearance of the other people accompanying him, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in his heart.

Today's Huns have been frightened by that Zhang Yingyang.

Before even seeing anyone, the nobles and retinue in the mission were already frightened.

Especially the entourage, they knew that it was the Zhang Che Rider who was waiting for them in Hexi, although Zhang Anshi thought that the army was defeated in the Han Dynasty, but he did not panic in the face of chaos and commanded well, but he took root in the hearts of every Hun person.

I'm afraid it will be the same as before, when the Huns faced the hussar general—before they saw a figure, the Hun cavalry had already run away.

I really couldn't run, so I knelt on the spot.

No one dared to confront it head-on, and no one dared to charge at it.

At that time, everyone from Shan Yu to slaves knew that there were only two options for seeing the hussar banner - escape or surrender.

Because...... You can't win at all!

Invincible, irresistible!

Whether it is positional warfare, white-knuckle warfare, guerrilla warfare, or cavalry warfare, whether it is in canyons, plains, Gobi, deserts, mountains, or cities, there is no distinction between superior or inferior forces.

Any war against an army of hussars will end only one - to be crushed!

In the face of invincible people, the fighting spirit and morale of the Huns completely collapsed.

They are not as good as the servants of the Western Regions, at least those who are iron-clad and don't know the depths will stupidly go up and try to resist and struggle.

Although the result must have been crushed to powder, at least, they struggled.

It's like the Huns, except to run is to kneel.

So much so that at that time, the cavalry of the Han army was surrounded by the Huns, and the commander had a whimsical idea to send a small number of light cavalry to the flank, and then raised a forged hussar flag.

As a result, the Xiongnu army collapsed in an instant, and the Han cavalry, which was originally surrounded, not only broke through smoothly, but also chased the Xiongnu rout and slashed wildly, and gained many military merits.

Now......

When the Huns faced the Han army, I am afraid that the mentality of the Huns was not much different from that when they faced Huo Hussar.

Morale, struggle, and will were taken captive.

There is no morale, there is no fighting spirit, and the will is hit by the reduction of dimensions.

Even if the Huns are eight feet tall per capita, five feet in waistline, and wearing heavy armor, they can only kneel down and call their father.

Thinking about these things in his mind, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but shudder.

He knew that disaster had begun.

If I go to the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that the result will be worse than the worst situation I imagined!

"I can only act when the opportunity arises!" Zhao Zhen thought in his heart and sighed: "Why is my life so miserable!" ”

Finally, I finally had the opportunity to assist the lord, make contributions in the distance, and strive to clear my name.

Na Cheng thought, this dream has just begun, and he is about to wake up.

With these thoughts lingering in his heart, the Han army officer who was guiding in front suddenly turned his horse's head and announced loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Jade Gate has arrived!" ”

A word wakes up the dreamer.

All the Huns, like branches blown up by the wind, immediately raised their heads.

In the distance, at the end of the line of sight, on a high ground beyond a canyon.

A square fortified city came into view.

The fortress made of rammed earth, like an iron gate, firmly choked the key pass of this passage and locked the traffic from Loulan to the west of the river.

On the tower of the city, the dragon flag of the Han family flutters high, and countless soldiers stand at the head of the city.

The cloth covers on the crossbows have been removed, the sharp arrows are exposed at the head of the city, and the giant crossbows that have been wound are like silent war giants, showing their tyrannical side.

In the canyon, columns of cavalry were slowly riding out.

They were dressed in light armor, riding tall horses, wearing iron jackets, and their resolute faces were revealed under their masks.

Their war horses, all equipped with stirrups and saddle horseshoe, this kind of new riding equipment of the Han Dynasty known to the Huns last year, shocked the Huns in the war, and suffered a big loss, the fault is not the success of the ambush at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, otherwise last year's war, the Huns will be defeated!

And, what shocked and frightened the Huns even more was that these riding tools that made them suffer a big loss were the riding tools created by the legendary three-headed and six-armed Zhang Chiyou.

Today's cavalry of the Han Dynasty is fully and massively refitting these new riding equipment.

The Huns, on the other hand, spent a winter studying and imitating.

In the end, they could only copy the barely enough stirrups and saddles, but could not imitate the horseshoe - even if Li Ling gathered almost all the well-known blacksmiths in the Western Regions, he could not make a strong and wear-resistant farrier like the captured Han Dynasty horseshoe!

This made the jealousy and fear of the Hun nobles towards that Zhang Chiyou deeper.

There are even those who believe that He is invincible, unstoppable, unstoppable, and unchallengeable.

And, now that Zhao Zhen looked at the cavalry in front of him, the horror and fear in his eyes were even deeper - because these Han Dynasty cavalry were different from the Han Dynasty cavalry he had seen!

More than just riding gear!

Their equipment has also undergone drastic changes!

Zhao Zhen looked at the cavalry coming in line seriously.

Carefully observing their movements and equipment, the color of fear in their pupils almost overflowed.

It's true, the army in front of him is too sharp!

Thousands of cavalry, divided into five columns.

Standing side by side with each other, like a wall, it gives people a sense of oppression like Tarzan.

And the equipment on their bodies has been discarded with all the common ordnance that the cavalry of the Han Dynasty once had.

There are no huge halberds, no wide swords, and no slender swords.

They just carried a basket of arrows on their backs and a bowed with horns.

Then he tied a never-before-seen weapon around his waist.

These cavalry were densely packed, but they walked about a hundred steps in front of Zhao Zhen in an orderly manner.

Then they quickly changed formations and lined up on both sides of the road.

Then, Zhao Zhen only saw bursts of cold light, shining in his sight, and countless slender long knives pulled out their scabbards.

The snow-white blades formed a sword array that shimmered with fierce light in the spring sun.

Like a dream, like a mythical and legendary heavenly soldier will descend on the earth.

People can't help but weaken their knees, and they are almost about to fall down in front of these cavalrymen and bow down!
