In the north of Shanggu County, six hundred miles north of the Great Wall, it is already the boundary of the Xiongnu, the desert grassland is boundless, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

This grassland has always been very quiet, and occasionally some Xiongnu herdsmen drive some cattle and sheep to graze here, which also seems to be very harmonious.

A group of freshly dressed cavalry suddenly appeared on this grassland, galloping wildly, heading straight north, and the sound woke up the hibernating grass insects, looking at the formation, there were no less than 2,000 people.

Red robe and black armor, carrying a bow and arrows, a long knife hanging from his waist, extremely fast.

At this time, the remnant sun is like blood.

"I've been around here for most of the time, and I haven't seen the shadow of half of the Huns, Shanjia, are you really not mistaken?" The large group of cavalry stopped on the grassy knoll, looked around, and the young general led by him had a serious face and asked the sergeant beside him.

"When my subordinates came down here last time, I saw a Hun tribe near here, but I don't know why it disappeared this time!" There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he carefully identified his surroundings.

"Eight hundred miles of running, now it has been six hundred miles deep into the desert, if we can't find a Xiongnu tribe this time, not only our lives will not be guaranteed, but the general will not last long in Yangtou Town, what should I do, the general must make a quick decision." Yanagi persuaded.

"Further north!" Qin Cheng frowned, and then said firmly.

"No!"

This light horseman, which was supposed to be with 1,500 heavy horsemen led by Li Guangsuo, actually appeared in the territory of the desert Xiongnu!

The army galloped north.

A vast world, a small cavalry line.

Soon, a brigade of cavalry came in front of them.

"General, a large group of Hun herdsmen was found twenty miles ahead, about a hundred people, countless horses and sheep, and there was a Hun cavalry guard of a hundred people!" Seeing the lone rider galloping in front of him, Qin Cheng raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and the lone rider ran to him and reported to Qin Cheng on the horse.

Qin Cheng listened, raised his eyebrows, hooked a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, and said to Shanjia: "Although your memory is a little biased, it is not too bad. ”

Shanjia is also relieved, this time the unprecedented rush to the desert, Shanjia as a guide, the burden on the body is not heavy, at this time to learn that he finally did not miss the army, it is inevitable that there is some happiness in his heart.

"It seems that I will have a harvest when I wait for thousands of miles to attack!" Qin Qingzhi couldn't help but be a little excited, his eyes looked at the north, all of them were scorching.

"Running thousands of miles and going deep into the desert is unprecedented, not to mention the new cavalry that has only been trained for four months, if this attack is successful, General Qin's hand will be enough to go down in history." The cold wind blew Liu Mu a little unable to open his eyes, he had to use his hand in front of his forehead, when he said this, there was excitement in his flat tone that could not be concealed.

Everyone almost turned in a big circle in the same place, and the shadow of half of the Huns was not seen, no one could not be anxious, and now they went north, and finally found their goal, and no one could not be excited.

Qin Cheng glanced back at the light horseman who looked a little embarrassed because of the thousands of miles he had been running, and there was no obvious change in expression on his face. After all, it is a new rider who has only been training for three or four months, and it is very rare to be able to roughly maintain the formation at this time and no one is left behind.

"Soldiers, the Huns are ahead, the day and night attack will be successful, all the soldiers are in formation, follow the general to kill the past, the military merit is yours!" Qin Cheng, whose lips were chapped, pulled out his long knife and shouted loudly.

"Kill!" Hearing that the Huns were in front, the two thousand light horsemen all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, their eyes lit up, and they instantly became excited, and they could no longer care about the fatigue and pain from their bodies, and followed Qin Cheng and rushed out wildly.

The centurion was bored riding a handsome horse and wandering around the large herd of horses and sheep, with a lazy expression, holding a water bladder in his hand that was said to be a fine wine brought from the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty. Looking back at the hundred cavalry who followed him, few of them had a good face, too, if it was not his turn to go on the expedition, then the benefits of the expedition would naturally not be his turn. His 100 cavalry were like unwelcome wild children, abandoned here at will, and treated as monkeys by the herdsmen. In this case, no one will have a good face.

Ye Lu glanced at the south, his eyes were resentful, and he poured a large sip of wine, not caring how much he spilled, and couldn't help muttering: "I think back then, I led the team to the first to kill the Han town, and at that time it was very majestic, those Han people saw me, and they rushed up without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and none ......of them could walk around under my knife."

A cavalryman who followed closely behind him heard their centurion talking drunk again, and couldn't help but sigh, this time his team of men and horses was left out in the cold, but it was a big loss, it is said that this time it was the leader of the big man in the royal court, and he gathered 10,000 people, just to avenge the last time King Zuoxian......

But think about your own king, the dignified Hun Zuoxian King is also bored at home, and these people's hearts are a little better, after all, we are not the ones who are left out.

Looking at the sky, seeing that the sun was about to set, he was about to call the sergeant beside him to order the herdsmen to return, when he saw a ranger running up.

"Centurion, no, there's a large group of men rushing over there, it seems to be ...... Han Army! Just as he was about to give the order, the ranger rushed to Jeru, pointed to the south and said in a panic.

"What do you say? Han Army? The sac in his hand smashed directly into the ranger's face, "Are you fucking watering or are you daydreaming?!" Where do you think you are? Lao Tzu told you, you didn't go on the expedition, you are still in the desert! Han Army? I'm fucking kicking you and me! ”

Ye Lu said to kick and kick, and he really kicked the ranger off the horse, and it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he also got off the horse, and prepared a wild whip against him, "Han army, Han army, Han army...... Lao Tzu Han, you mother! ”

The innocent Hun knight who was beaten and scolded covered his face and screamed, while wailing: "It's really the Han army, it's really the Han army......"

"Still fucking screaming, see if Lao Tzu doesn't wake you up!" Ye Lu scolded loudly as he waved the whip in his hand vigorously.

Everyone's eyes were focused on this, and they all tacitly agreed not to speak, and when the herdsmen saw it, they immediately turned their heads and continued with what they were doing.

The sound of horses' hooves was heard.

Bigger and bigger.

This time, all the Hun cavalry heard it clearly, it was indeed the sound of horses' hooves, and the momentum was not small.

Then, a group of horsemen appeared in their field of vision.

Red robe and black armor, isn't it the costume of the Han army?

When the Han army marched closer, these Hun cavalry still stared at it with some disbelief. Could it be that this time the victorious cavalry changed into the uniform of the Han army? When was this habit formed?

Until this time, these Hun cavalry still refused to believe that what they were facing was the authentic Han cavalry.

Because it's incredible! The Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty have been in confrontation for sixty or seventy years, when did the Han army step into the desert half a step?

In the consciousness of the Huns, there was no such thing as the Han army entering the desert one day.

"Centurion, it seems...... It seems to be really the Han Army! A ten-captain who had a good relationship with Yalu said worriedly.

Ye Lu stood up, looked at the Han army rushing over, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that the brothers who went out on the expedition wore the costumes of the Han army?" How can there be a reason for the Han army to appear here. Besides, if they were, why didn't they cry out......"

As if in response to Yelu, the Han army, which had been running silently and without a banner, suddenly erupted into an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound:

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Is it really the Han Army?!" Startled, he quickly turned on his horse, his face turned pale, and he shouted, "Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! ”

"Enemy attack! Meet the enemy! ”

The cavalry of the Han army had already rushed to within 300 zhang, and the Hun cavalry was too late to run at this time, besides, there were countless cattle and sheep and more than 100 herdsmen who needed their protection.

At this moment, Jerus clearly knew his next fate. I can't imagine that I can meet the Han army without going on the expedition, is this good luck or bad luck?

"Bow!"

Qin Cheng raised his knife and shouted.

Two thousand light horsemen drew bows and arrows, and the movements could barely be regarded as uniform.

"Arrows!"

Qin Cheng's long knife led forward.

No matter how bad the archery level of the new cavalry is, after all, there are two thousand iron arrows, and two thousand iron arrows are against a hundred cavalry, no matter how crooked the shot is, the damage it can cause should not be underestimated, so this round of shooting, a hundred-man Hun cavalry was immediately tossed and disrespectful.

Two thousand iron arrows to kill a hundred cavalry is a mountain smashing mosquitoes, and those 100 arrows to kill two thousand cavalry, no matter how bad luck is, can hit the target, so this first round of shooting, the actual casualties of the two sides are not much different.

But the second round of shooting is different, the second round of shooting of the Han army, the Hun cavalry of 100 people is basically gone, and no matter how good the Huns' archery luck is, there are only a few dozen arrows, how powerful can it be?

But Qin Cheng listened to the screams coming from behind him, and he still couldn't help but feel distressed, this is the meat on his body, it hurts to lose the slightest!

The Han light cavalry was just a charge, and when many herdsmen were still dumbfounded, they easily finished the hundred-man team guarding the herdsmen, horses and sheep. Then they split up on the left and the right, and put tens of thousands of horses and sheep in the middle, so that the herders in the middle would not have a chance to escape and report to their tribes.

"General, there's a living one!" Qin Qingzhi led people to escort a Hun cavalry with three arrows stuck in his body and not yet dead, and said to Qin Cheng.

Ye Lu raised his head weakly and opened his eyes, glanced at the Han army general in front of him, and lowered it again.

"The centurion who commanded you is really stupid, seeing us running from afar, there was no movement for half a day, but the measures taken by the general to prevent you from reporting the news were useless, and when you meet such a centurion, it is no wonder that you only have the life of the family, and you have no part in the expedition. You deserve to fall into the hands of this general today, and remember not to follow the wrong person in the next life. Qin Cheng was in a good mood, looking at this dejected Hun cavalry, he laughed twice, and when he said this, everyone laughed, but they didn't feel how bitter this whole day's running was.

When Ye Lu heard Qin Cheng's words, he was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his head was crooked, and he lost his breath.

Qin Qingzhi was almost sprayed with blood by Yelu, but fortunately it flashed quickly, he came back to his senses and slapped Yelu on the head, and was about to scold, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after a closer look, he found that the Hun cavalry was no longer breathing, and looked at Qin Cheng in surprise: "He's dead!" ”

"How did you die so easily, and you were still alive just now." Everyone was puzzled why Ye Lu was so angry that he vomited blood and died after only listening to Qin Cheng's words.

Qin Cheng touched his chin with his hand and groaned, and said thoughtfully: "Probably, he is the centurion!" ”

"Huh?" Qin Qing was stunned, then laughed, "I see." ”

At this time, Liu Mu walked over, and Qin Cheng asked, "Did you ask about it?" ”

"Seventy miles to the north, there is a big Xiongnu tribe, but the cavalry in the tribe were all transferred away more than ten days ago, and now there are only a few hundred housekeeping cavalry and some old and weak women and children left in the tribe." Yanagi said, a faint flush of excitement appeared on his pale face.

"Good! Gather the team, set off secretly, and prepare for a night attack on the Hun camp! ”

……

It is said that Li Guang fought with Yi Xue'er for a round today, and with the power of the iron cavalry, he managed to escape into the small mountains, and finally settled in Yangtou Town, and also created a posture of more than 3,000 cavalry for the Hun cavalry who caught up behind.

To put it bluntly, Li Guang and Qin Cheng didn't believe from the beginning that there were only 2,000 Hun cavalry going south this time, so no matter how they tossed and bewitched, Li Guang and Qin Cheng were unmoved. Of course, it's impossible to not move at all, after all, Ixher's acting is too realistic. I really want to say that when the army retreated yesterday, Li Guang and Qin Cheng's hearts were also beating. You must know that if the Huns retreated directly if they had no follow-up moves, the two of them would inevitably have to bear the charge of dereliction of duty and slackness on the battlefield.

However, Qin Cheng and Li Guang both persevered to the end, the Huns really did not disappoint them, and in the end, this strategy was also very risky, Qin Cheng took people to separate ways before dawn, and went to attack the desert, burning the buttocks of the Huns, forcing them to have to return to help. But the Han army, which has never set foot in the desert and has never made any thousands of miles of attack, went north in a hurry this time, Li Guang was also extremely worried, a mountain armor that had somehow entered the desert could not make Li Guang feel at ease, if Qincheng failed to run thousands of miles, then the cavalry and the two senior generals of Shanggu County were finished!

At nightfall, the Huns besieging Yangtou Town and the Han army under the command of Li Guang fought inextricably.

Like the Hun cavalry who attacked Xiaohua City last time, this time the more than 10,000 Hun cavalry also adopted the strategy of burning the fort of Yangtou Town, trying to burn Li Guang and others out.

When Yi Xueer saw Li Guang running into Sheep's Head Town, her previous gloomy mood was swept away, and she immediately asked people to surround Sheep's Head Town, as long as Li Guang's army was in Sheep's Head Town, Yi Xue'er didn't believe that they could still put on their wings and run.

In fact, there is no way for Li Guang to run into this sheep's head town, and the mountain road here in the small mountains is not easy to walk down, the problem is that it is possible for Yi Xue'er to see that there are no more than 3,000 cavalry on his side at all, so it will be really doomed. But Li Guang had already issued a secret military order to Sheephead Town in the early morning, including asking them to prepare more things in the fort. The lessons of Xiaohua Castle last time have been reported to Qin Cheng and Li Guangyu, how can Li Guang not be guarded?

Because there are many Huns this time, the sergeants who came to put dry firewood outside the fort wall also have cavalry to cover behind, so when there are Han sergeants leaning out of the high window of the fort to shoot arrows, the effect is very limited, usually the Han sergeants poke their heads out of the high window, and they are shot into hedgehogs by the Hun cavalry outside. In this way, the Han army had no way to take these Huns who piled firewood outside the fort wall.

Because the defenders of Sheep's Head Town had already burned all the dry firewood in the town, when the Huns came, they had to demolish the house to use as firewood. Anyway, although the process was a lot more tortuous than the last time in Xiaohua City, the result was that the firewood was piled up, and then the fire was lit.

But the problem arose at this time, when the Huns saw the next scene, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

The Han army hiding in the fort, after the firewood outside the wall was ignited, poured a large bucket of water from the high windows with a "bang", poured it on the burning firewood, and directly extinguished the fire.

Seeing that the results of a hard afternoon were lost in this way, Yi Xueer gritted her teeth with hatred.

Eventually, Ichel came up with an even more poisonous plan: shoot rockets through the window of the fort!

As a result, a thousand Hun cavalry with excellent archery skills were selected and fired a volley at the high window of the fort!

Not only that, but the Huns also began to bang the fort gate with long logs! Even if the gate of the fort is opened, they can't rush in, but at least they can throw torches and shoot arrows inside, right?

And just like that, a new contest begins.

Yi Xue'er bit the word fire attack and didn't let go.

I have to say that Yi Xueer's strategy is quite vicious, the construction of the inside of the fort is mostly made of wood, this rocket is fired from the high window, and it is a human life if it falls on the person, and the fire is spread when it falls on the attic, whether it is the former or the latter, it is not something that the Han army in the fort can bear.

Rockets came in one by one through different high windows, causing screams and exclamations, and the fort was filled with flames.

"Xiahou Neng!" Li Guang took advantage of his face to drink the order, "Lead people to block the high windows!" ”

"No!" Xiahou can just greet the army with his front foot
