Chapter 537 The Han army blocks the path of life and death

There were people in the Xiongnu army who were good at learning the Qiang flute. This kind of thing came from the Western Regions, because of its desolate tone, it was liked by the steppe people. The Qiang flute and the horn horn have become one of the few musical instruments of the Xiongnu.

Speaking of reality, there are very few people in the world who see death as life. No one willingly gives up their lives unless there is a reason why they have to die.

The fierce Hun cavalry were also afraid of death. In the past, they were invincible and came and went like the wind, and they rarely encountered the current situation, so they naturally didn't know what fear was. But today was different, after the fierce battle with the Han army stopped, the Xiongnu army trapped in the camp of Longcheng began to spread a negative and fearful mood.

The night was deep, the waning moon was like a hook, and the wind in Dragon City blew the breath of the extreme north, which seemed to bring the expectation waiting for them to return. For a long time, the Hun warriors plundered everywhere for the naΓ―ve women and children living in the rear, for the needs of survival, and also for the show off of the brave.

There was no gate in Longcheng, and in the dim moonlight, the Hun generals who were patrolling outside the camp looked up at the Khan's banner planted on the heights. The wolf beetle banner seems to have lost its former momentum, like a tattered rag floating in the wind...... At this moment, even such a battle-hardened captain was filled with frustration in his heart, like many in the army.

The fire of the Han army camp in the distance was bright, the aroma of food and boiled meat wafted in the wind, and the Hun commander heard many gurgling stomachs behind him, he didn't need to look back to see it, and he knew the expressions of his cavalry.

The Hun cavalry has always been best at providing food with the army. When they were out on the road, they were given very limited food and baggage, and most of them relied on captures after victory and looting along the way. The ease with which the light cavalry could come and go was their advantage, but the confrontation with the Black Hawk Army for more than a month had exhausted their remaining food and their spirit.

I don't know who played a low flute by the city wall, desolate and sad. At such a juncture, this nostalgic voice will shake the morale of the army, and it will never be allowed! The captain stopped, grasped the hilt of his sword, and was about to shout at his men to punish him severely. However, seeing the confused look on the faces of many cavalry warriors, he sighed and turned around helplessly.

Maybe...... Da Danyu will have a way after all, right? As long as you can take everyone back to your home in Mobei, then you will never come to the border of the Han Dynasty again! To the west and north, there are still many small countries to plunder, so why bother to provoke the Han Dynasty, an increasingly powerful neighbor.

This was not only the true thoughts of the Hun general, but also the thoughts of most of the seriously frustrated Hun cavalrymen. The army of the Han Dynasty was so powerful that they lost the courage to confront it.

The sound of the Qiang flute did not pass the simple walls of Longcheng, or in other words, even if the Xiongnu nobles who retreated to the city had heard this voice, they could no longer care about the feelings of ordinary soldiers. They gathered overnight at the residence of Shan Yu Khan, waiting for his final decision.

Five or six followers of the tribal kings, royal court ministers, a few loyal generals, princes...... All the important people who went out with the army this time looked at their big orders with anxious expressions, not knowing what to do.

Since sending Zhang Zhongxing to the Han army camp earlier, they have been waiting for news. This strategist from the Central Plains has provided a great boost to the growth and expansion of the Xiongnu court in the past many years. If he can really turn the tide this time, even if he is given any reward.

Just when Shan Yuyi and his courtiers were looking forward to it, the people sent finally returned. Only three of the dozen or so people in the group came back, with a message from the Great Han Shangshu Ling Yuanzhao, and ...... The head of the national teacher Zhang Zhongxing!

When Zhang Zhongxing's head was placed on several cases, everyone gasped. No one thought that the young man in the Han army would be so ruthless! He dared to take the initiative to kill the envoy sent by the Xiongnu to sue for peace, and he was an extremely important Xiongnu national teacher. This is tantamount to completely closing the door to the withdrawal of troops between Han and Hungary, and all that remains is to fight to the death! This person is really bold, he doesn't even have the intention of asking the emperor ......?

Facing everyone's complicated expressions, Shan Yu Yi's face was pale and he didn't speak for a long time. Although the defeat of King Xushan's 50,000 cavalry and the death of the second prince made him sad, he still had hope in his heart after all.

Relying on the strength of any country, it will not be able to swallow up the Xiongnu steppe, not even the Han Empire. From Saiwai to Mobei, from the coast of the North Sea to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, this vast area is not much less than that of the Han Dynasty.

Shan Yu Yi did not believe that the emperor of the Han Dynasty would have such great ambition and appetite. The emperors of the Han family and the imperial court of the past dynasties, as long as they have the ability to guard their border passes and prevent the Hun cavalry from penetrating, can already be called the son of sainthood. If it is said that they want to completely conquer a steppe empire with a territory of similar size and put it under their will, not only the Huns have never thought about it, but even the emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty dare not think like this!

However, when Shan Yu Yi Zhixiao stared at the bloodstained head, and listened to the three people who were put back to pass the word after telling the process of the matter and the meaning of the other party with pale faces, his heart pounded violently. There is no doubt that Ling Yuanzhao, the great Han Shangshu who led this matter, was a man with great ambitions!

Zhang Zhongxing died in the self-judgment of Fu Jian. Seeing the coldness in Yuan Zhao's eyes, he knew that there was no hope in life, so he could only die. However, before he swung his sword, he asked Yuan Zhao one last question with a calm expression. That is, what is the end of his recklessness?

Yuan Zhao waved his hand lightly, signaling Park Yongyeol, who was holding the Xuan Knife, not to kill them all, leaving a few alive, and he wanted them to go back to report to Shan Yuyi.

"From the body to the mind, the Huns need a complete transformation...... It's that simple to turn a vicious wolf pack into a tame cow and sheep! ”

"The Huns won't succumb so easily! Yuanhou, if you really want to kill Da Shan Yu, you will definitely have endless troubles! ”

"You're thinking too much! After the death of a cruel and ungrateful Shan Yu, it is natural that the benevolent king of the steppe will replace him. He will lead the people of the steppe after the war to a new life, to live a life they have never experienced before...... At that time, who will remember Shan Yu Khan, who has long since decayed like grass and trees! ”

Yuan Zhao looked at the mortal man in front of him with a mockery in his tone, and patted the shoulder of the brocade boy sitting beside him, and when the person who had been silent and had never spoken raised his head, Zhang Zhongxing looked at the familiar face in surprise, first hesitated and then suddenly realized. He finally understood, it turned out that the young Han Shang Shuling had already planned the future of the entire grassland!

Zhang Zhongxing, the national teacher of the Huns, looked up to the sky and laughed miserably, killing himself with a horizontal sword, and no one knew what he thought after complete despair.

Prince Yu Dan buried his head in eating his own things again, and in his nearly ten years of fugitive life, no meal was as safe as what he ate today.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yu Dan! At the beginning, he was soft-hearted, but he didn't expect to leave a disaster after all...... Ha ha! If you want Ben Khan's head, it depends on whether they have the ability to get it! ”

In the camp of Longcheng, after listening to the whole story, Shan Yu Yi ordered someone to clean up Zhang Zhongxing's head and bury it properly, and then laughed, laughing a little hysterical and a little crazy.

"Da Danyu, so far, there is only one desperate battle! While the warriors' fighting spirit is still waning, without further ado, let's break through tonight! As long as we break through the Han army's defense line in the north of Longcheng, and the grassland is flat for thousands of miles, we can rush back to Mobei in one breath, and it is expected that the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty will never dare to pursue thousands of miles alone. ”

A tribal king eagerly stepped forward to ask for an order. Although the conditions that the Great Han Shangshu ordered people to bring back were that the first evil would be punished, and the co-followers would surrender and forgive, but they, the Xiongnu nobles, did not believe that the Han people would stop by killing Yu Khan alone. Your own life is also very precious, but if you have the slightest chance to escape, no one will be willing to be captured.

"What do you say? Do you want to surrender to the Han army or fight to the death?"

Shan Yu Yi looked coldly at these Hun nobles with different expressions, and his body once again exuded the aura of a king! I think back then, he was also a figure of the three armies, even if he made a big single Yu Khan, put on a horse, bent a bow and wielded a knife, he was invincible and unstoppable! No matter how powerful the Han army is, it may be able to defeat him, but it is difficult to take his life! As for concentrating all your strength and breaking through with all your might, it is not a difficult task.

"We will obey the orders of the big order! As long as the king's sword is pointed, it will be killed, and never take half a step back! ”

Most of these people who followed the expedition were absolute henchmen of the royal court. In the process of supporting him to usurp the throne, his hands were stained with blood. Now that I heard that Prince Yu Dan is in the Han army, I expect that there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat if I want to surrender or be captured, so it is better to fight to the death, and maybe there is a chance to live.

Shan Yu nodded with satisfaction. Out of the corner of his eye, he pointed to the man in the corner of the tent and said in a different tone.

"General Pang, you have made great contributions to the grassland before, and you originally wanted to return to the royal court to reward you after completely defeating the Han army...... If you are willing to follow us to break through to Mobei, this single is naturally welcome. If you have another choice, don't be embarrassed. ”

Pang Xin, the Han general who was defeated and surrendered, did not expect that the Xiongnu Shan Yu would fall to the point where he is today, and the remorse in his heart can be imagined. However, at this moment, it must not be revealed.

"Swear to follow Da Dan Yu to the death! No other words! ”

"Good! Gather the whole army immediately and prepare to break through ......! ”
