Text Chapter 179 The Eagle Falcon Tests Its Wings and Absorbs the Dust

The Huns marched and fought in a somewhat different way from those of other countries. Most of the time, the warriors of this nation go out not for the righteousness or the honor of the state, but only for the survival of their own families and women and children.

The grassland environment is harsh and resources are limited, and it has become a habit for this human race to live and plunder.

In this large-scale attack on the Central Plains, the Hun cavalry accompanied by a total of about 50,000 or 60,000 people, and completely ransacked the already devastated border towns from several directions. At the same time, we are looking for an exit that can be broken through, and if the opportunity is ripe, we can break through the defense line of the Great Wall and approach the prosperity of the mainland again.

The Huns went out on the expedition, and they did not bring much baggage with the army. In addition to the elite of the royal court's direct family, every grassland warrior who obeyed the call of Da Shan Yu and went out across the horse had to bring his own food, horses, blades, equipment and other items, which was also a custom.

Therefore, when the Black Eagle Army broke through the fog in the mountains and approached the Hun camp in a few breaths with lightning speed, the expected situation of the enemy after the accumulation of grain and grass items did not see it. Before storming the camp, the plan to burn the Huns' heavy grain and grass fell through.

But this did not prevent the Black Hawks from attacking. In the acceleration of force, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves woke up the sleeping earth, and finally alarmed the Hun camp sleeping soundly before dawn.

The ranger whistle on the outskirts of the camp sounded the horn of the alarm, and the silence was pierced by a short, hurried and piercing sound. The Hun cavalry rolled over in ignorance, grabbed the weapons around them, and for a moment did not understand what was happening.

If the Huns who charged in a large group on horses were invincible and unstoppable, then at this time, they who had just woken up from their sleep were a plate of loose sand, and the shortcomings of lack of discipline and training on weekdays became a fatal flaw at this moment!

A fire began to rise into the air, and the Black Hawk knights, who had already mounted to the edge of the camp, set fire to the grease-soaked flaming object from behind the saddle and threw it at the tents of the enemy. Then began the forward march of the sword-wielding killing.

Chaos arises! Many Huns ran out of the burning tents, some of them not neatly dressed, let alone armored and mounted to meet the enemy. The arrogant Huns never thought that one day a Han army would dare to raid the camp, and they launched an attack from the back, where did they come from?

These thoughts flashed through the minds of many people, but they no longer allowed them to think too much, and no one would answer their questions in this time of life and death. All you face is sword light, killing intent, and blood!

The tent caught fire, and the horses scattered and panicked. Except for a few who began to resist under the organization of the reacting captains, most of the Huns began to flee in all directions.

The incoming enemy is too powerful to be stopped! The cavalry was like a spear, just like that, straight in, from the back camp to kill in, but in a moment, it was killed to the middle camp, along the way people on their backs, the Hun cavalry casualties were not counted.

When Da Shan Yu Yi Zhixie slept last night, it was already past the third watch. The envoy who came from the Huainan territory of the Han Dynasty pointed him out a shortcut. After resting tonight, tomorrow we can follow the instructions of this envoy and make a detour to the west, break through the pass where the Han army is weakly defended, and drive directly to Chang'an!

Yi Zhixie was happy in his heart, ordered someone to give wine, and drank a few glasses with this guide. After drinking and sleepy, I inevitably slept a little deeper.

When he was awakened by the guards and listened to his subordinates quickly report on the situation outside, Yi Zhiyi was frightened, hurriedly put on his horse, and prepared to meet the enemy under the protection of his henchmen. However, the news came back one after another that was not good.

The cavalry of the Han army was very strong and marched very fast, so it seemed that their plan was to step through the camp. Da Shan Yu Yizhi was furious when he heard the news, right under his own eyes, dare someone to rob the camp so proudly? He drew his sword and gave an order, ordering the commander of the Chinese army to surround and annihilate the invading enemy at all costs! It's just a joke, but the more than 1,000 Han troops dared to attack the Hun camp of more than 30,000 people, which is eating the heart of a bear and swallowing the gall of a leopard! If one of them can be allowed to run away today, how can he maintain his supreme dignity in front of the kings of all tribes in the future!

The elite of the Chinese army is different, soon, several thousand people gathered and began to outflank the invading enemy, and the blood of the grassland warriors is also not to be insulted, and the tip of the knife flashed with anger.

At this time, the direction of Yanmen Pass suddenly made a loud drum, shouting to kill the sky, more than 10,000 Han cavalry in front, foot soldiers in the back, straight to the Hun front army camp to kill.

"Report a big order! The Yanmen defenders have all been dispatched and have already entered the front camp! The governor of the former camp can't resist it, so please show the big order. ”

There is no need to listen to the details at all, Yi Zhixie already knows what is going on. Premeditated, planned, and organized, the Han army took the initiative to counterattack, but he did not have this preparation, and was caught off guard.

This has never happened, and it seems that General Fei can't swallow the breath of being captured, so after escaping back, he broke the cauldron and fought to the death.

So should we fight it here, or do we stay away for the time being and wait until we gather nearby forces to fight a decisive battle? Yi Zhixie hesitated. There are not many opportunities to attract the Han army to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, this time it is really an excellent fighter, if most of the defenders of Yanmen can be wiped out here, then the gate of Yanmen Pass will be wide open.

It is a pity that time is pressing, and it is too late to mobilize the Hun army to attack everywhere. With the current strength of the battalion, it will be difficult to annihilate all these Han troops.

The idea of Yi Zhixiao is very beautiful. However, after only a quarter of an hour, he will find that he is thinking too much!

Although the morning sun has not yet appeared, the darkness has disappeared, and the light has returned to the world. The blood flowers were soaked in dewdrops, and the blooms of death bloomed all over the grass.

Like a sharp sword, the Black Hawks were unstoppable, and the enemies in front of them, without exception, fell under the hooves of their horses. Courage and pride are contagious traits, and if everyone in the whole team is enveloped by this aura, then the team becomes a whole and has a soul.

At the forefront of the horses were Gongsun Rongnu and Cao Xiang. The two of them can be regarded as the highest martial arts in the Black Eagle Army, so the two of them are responsible for the sharp edge of this sharp blade.

Gongsun Rongnu used the knife in his hand yesterday to personally cut off the head of the commander of the 5,000-year-old Hun cavalry. Wei Qing fulfilled his promise and gave him the first credit. Although it has not yet been recognized by the imperial court, it is only a matter of time.

You must know that on the frontal battlefield against the Xiongnu, such a hearty victory was the first time in the history of war between the two countries. It's a victory! No matter what the final result of this round of war in Northern Xinjiang is, for Gongsun Rongnu, after the war, his front is already a road to a famous general.

Such an incentive goal is vividly placed in front of them, and all the officers and men of the Black Hawk Army are all excited. Especially Cao Xiang, Han Yue, Zhou Ba, Zhang Cigong and others, who were originally equal to Gongsun Rongnu, were even more courageous. The current Huns, in their eyes, are no longer invincible opponents, but have become things that have taken fame and fame one by one.

Kill! Now it depends on who kills the most Huns, who kills the Huns more generals, and whose credit will be accumulated. How can you miss such a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory! The black whirlwind spread its wings and turned into an eagle that pounced on the wolves, sweeping forward, unstoppable.

The Huns never imagined that they would encounter such a dilemma as they are today. Even the elite cavalry who were waiting for the battle, when they encountered the Han army that came through the camp, was not their opponent. Not to mention the hastily assembled teams.

Although the cavalry rushed to intercept it under the loud shouts of the commander and several governors, it was to no avail. The crossbow arrows are like flying locusts shooting horizontally, and in such a short distance, the power of the nine-armed chain crossbow has been maximized. However, the longbow of the Huns did not have a chance to fire, and they screamed again and again, causing a lot of casualties.

The Black Hawk flies, smoking, and bursting into flames, like entering a no-man's land! Suddenly, a majestic voice of "single in the capture, only today" sounded, and the Black Eagle battle flag broke through to the distance of less than 100 steps away from the big tent of the Xiongnu Chinese army!

The commander of the rear army, who had untidy armor, galloped to Shan Yu's horse and said urgently: "The enemy is coming very quickly, please take a short distance from Da Danyu!"

Listening to the shouts of the Han soldiers who sounded in front and behind, the king of the grassland had a grim face and raised his sharp sword: "All the troops listen to the order, follow me to kill the enemy!" There are those who dare to say goodbye....... ”

However, before the last word "chop" could be spoken, the screams and the sound of falling horses sounded in my ears one after another. A row of crossbow arrows came from a distance, and a large number of Hun cavalry, including a dozen royal court guards, were shot off their horses.

"It's dangerous here, protect the big order and go first!" Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Zhongxing, the national teacher, shouted loudly.

Seeing that the battle situation was not good, the hundreds of loyal guards had already used wooden shields to protect the Yizhi evil group, and when they heard the order of the national teacher, they couldn't care about obeying the will of the king, so let's protect him safe first!

Wang Ting, along with his henchmen and guards, surrounded Shan Yu Khan and fled straight to the flank. The Han army rode very fast, and at this time they had already learned from the captured Xiongnu generals that Da Dan Yu was in the army, and the soldiers of the Black Eagle Army were even more energetic. Wei Qing hurriedly gave the order, regardless of anything else, the whole army drove directly to the Chinese army, and captured the Huns alive!

In the midst of a shout, the young man in the black robe and armor stepped through the smoke and dust, took the lead, and appeared on the left side of the Hun elite horse, with the long ge in his hand, stabbing down the enemy horse, and between his hands, he held the falling wolf's head banner in the crook of his arm! Cao Xiang is high-spirited and majestic.

Cutting generals to capture the flag, destroying the front, and attacking the city first, these are the hallmarks of brave generals since ancient times. Today, he is no longer the Yulin military captain who stood on the city wall and trembled when he saw the formation of the Hun cavalry. The killing and heroism stimulated the bloody nature of Jiangmen, and the Cao family's Qianliju, like many people, completed an important transformation in his life.

Two thousand-strong Hun cavalry rushed over and desperately blocked the rear, covering the retreat of Shan Yu Khan's escort. Fierce fighting, confrontation, death, defeat and escape...... Blood and fire, will wear down and quench the edge!

More than 10,000 horse infantry soldiers of the Yanmen garrison, under the leadership of deputy generals Feng De and Zhang Jin, covered from the left and right flanks. The Han and Hungarians have fought for so many years, and the brothers and sisters, and I don't know how many of them died under the sword of the Hun cavalry. Who doesn't have bitter hatred in their hearts!

Today finally has a chance to take revenge, and there is only blood in the chest! Kill, kill, kill! Don't look back, rush forward! Rush forward!

Earlier, the Black Eagle Army raided like a whirlwind, crisscrossing the north and south, and the west and east, in the firelight, the horses of the Hun cavalry had been scattered countless times, and the startled horses broke free from the reins and scurried around.

Most of the martial arts of the people on horseback are on horses, and the cavalry has no horses, such as folding legs. When encountering most of the Han army that came to take advantage of the victory, there was only the fate of being besieged and slaughtered.

However, after most of the hour, this fierce victory has been divided. The Huns were defeated, and the entire camp was in flames. Except for less than a few thousand defeated soldiers who protected Dadan Yu Yizhi's escape, the rest of the people were surrounded and divided by the Han army, and gradually strangled in this land of blood and fire.

At this time, the morning sun is rising, and the sun is shining. On the tall tower of Yanmen Pass, the sound of war drums finally stopped. All the soldiers who stayed behind looked at the battle scene in the distance with enthusiasm, and they all rubbed their hands, regretting in their hearts why they didn't ask for a battle out of the city.

Li Guang stood by the arrow stack and let out a long sigh of relief in his chest. To be honest, although he agreed to the plan to fight this time, he was still a little worried in his heart.

If the battle fails, then Yanmen Pass and the entire front line will be in danger. So his decision this time can be regarded as a big gamble. The key to victory or defeat lies in whether the Black Hawks can succeed in the raid.

Thankfully, they succeeded! After the big victory, maybe from now on, everything will be different. The arrow wound on the arm should be healed quickly, and the day of killing the enemy on horseback may not be far off. Thinking of this, the veteran is like returning to his prime, and his heart is also a little hot.

Now the big picture is decided! All that remained was to clear out the small force of Hun cavalry that was still stubbornly resisting. The Huns were very strong, there was never a tradition of surrender, defeat was death, and this was a pack of wild wolves that could not be raised. Therefore, the general order received by the Han army was: leave no prisoners, only the number of enemies killed!

Wei Qing galloped up a high slope, looking at the shadow of the fleeing enemy that was already difficult to catch, there was no joy of victory in his heart, but a faint regret.

For such unfortunate luck that he could capture the Huns alive in a battle, he did not have extravagant hopes. It's just that the combat effectiveness of the Huns is really strong. In particular, the Hun warriors who were still trapped in the beast also showed their extremely strong combat effectiveness in front of the well-equipped Black Eagle Army.

According to the preliminary battle damage reported by his lieutenant, after the Black Eagle Army broke into the Chinese army camp, it only took half an hour of fighting, and it had already lost nearly four or five hundred soldiers, accounting for one-third of the entire team!

Such casualties made Wei Qing, who was the leading general for the first time, feel cramped. Although they inflicted greater casualties on the opposing side, a resounding victory was to be expected. But he still felt a little sad in his heart.

"Soldiers, murder weapons! The benefits brought by construction to mankind will never be as easy as the harm caused by war. So, I'm going to try to come up with something that will help you improve your combat power. I hope that your task is to complete every war as cleanly and without any aftermath as possible. I hope that the day when the sea is peaceful and the four realms are peaceful can be realized in your hands, ...... can be realized. ”

On a calm afternoon, after the Black Eagle Army finished training, on the flat and vast grass on Changle Plateau, Yuan Zhao once said this passage was remembered by many people. Although many of them did not wait for that day, this wish or expectation was remembered by the Black Hawks as a philosophy and spirit in the killing field that followed.

"Black Hawks, tactical coordination still needs a lot to improve...... If there were 20,000 to 50,000 such well-equipped Han troops, under their own command, they could go out of the customs and really fight against the Huns. ”

Wei Qing watched all the Han troops meet on the battlefield, with the joy of the victors, counting the fruits after the battle, and the hope in his heart slowly rose .......

Yanmen Pass is a great victory! When the news of this victory finally returned to Chang'an in two parts, a warm celebration had just been held in front of Weiyang Palace.

The envoy Yan Zhu and the final army, who went out on behalf of the Son of Heaven, returned to Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Han Empire, after a full season of expeditions. At the same time, there were also members of the royal family captured by the extinct Dongyue Kingdom.

Yu Anh, the king of Dongyue, is in his fifties this year. Although a small country is small, it is also a king after all, and it is also a person who has been supported by all the peoples. Now, he has become a prisoner.

From the far south, he traveled thousands of miles and was escorted all the way to this majestic capital. When he was outside the city, took one last look at the direction of his homeland, and then entered Chang'an City, his heart swelled with regret.

Dahan, it's really too vast! If he had known that his northern neighbor was such a country, then he would never have listened to Liu Shaoju's words, raised troops without authorization, provoked border provocations, and ended up in today's end.

It's just that it's too late to say anything now, and the carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed. For the rest of his life, he survived.

In the huge team of returning to the north, this depressed deceased man is not the only one. Dongou Guojun's feelings are completely different. This prince of a small country and widows, guarding the land founded by his ancestors taking advantage of the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, has not been stable for many years. The territory under the jurisdiction of Dongou is barren and the national strength is weak, but he is in the gap between other countries to survive, and he is afraid that the iron horses of the neighboring countries will break through the border even when he sleeps, so he came directly to his bed.

Now, I can finally be sure. On the day of his surrender, he had already received an edict from the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the return of ten thousand households in the city seemed to be a good result. Looking at the king of Dongyue who wore a sinful body, Dongou Jun felt a little relieved .......
