Chapter 539 Shan escaped from Dragon City at night

The Battle of Henan, which had taken place more than four years earlier between the Han and the Hungarians, ended in a complete victory for the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty acquired the Hetao steppe and from then on the Xiongnu took the Yellow River as the boundary. Then, in the shortest possible time, the three cities of Shuofang and Wuyuan were quickly built in prominent positions.

These three fortified cities were each other's horns and barriers, firmly guarding the way for the Hun cavalry to go south, so that they never had the ability to cross this important territory for half a step, let alone invade the border passes of the Han Dynasty.

The three cities of Shuofang are like wedges deeply rooted in the Xiongnu grassland, and their role has become more and more important over time. Especially when the Han-Hungarian War broke out again, to a certain extent, it was precisely because of the continuous construction of the Hetao grassland in recent years that the victory of the Han Dynasty was doomed from the beginning.

Thinking of the will of the imperial court back then, hundreds of thousands of displaced people and handicraft workers were sent to fill the population outside the Saiwai, and settled down here to recuperate. Over the years, these people have settled down from the initial complaints and trepidation, to the gradual adaptation and discovery of the countless opportunities here.

The Yellow River is fertile for thousands of miles, and the Hetao grassland is the most abundant. Encouraged by the many preferential policies promulgated by the imperial court, these hundreds of thousands of people of different identities worked diligently and diligently together with the Han army stationed here, and in just a few years, this place, which the Huns originally called "winter pasture", was built into a plugged pearl.

More and more people are attracted here, and there are many far-sighted wealthy families who see that this area must play an increasingly important role in the future, so they will do everything they can to lay the foundation of their families here.

With the gradual utilization of resources outside the Central Plains and the expansion of trade routes, more and more families have been sent from the Central Plains, and various industrial manufacturing has begun to take shape. Behind all this, of course, it is inseparable from the strong support of the imperial court, and the role played by the monk Ling Yuanzhao.

In fact, in the court, there are many ministers who still have many different opinions on spending so much effort to manage the Hetao grassland outside the Saiwai. In their opinion, the imperial court has wasted too much money and energy in this regard, and it is somewhat worth the loss. It's just a few cities built to resist the hooves of the Huns, and it's enough to send heavy troops to garrison them, so why bother to bother with these things!

However, when they blamed the leaders of the matter in such words, the young court officials did not give them patient explanations. Yuan Zhao only said one sentence at that time.

"When the Han and Huns really fight a decisive battle, you will naturally understand!"

Those who have different political views in the court clearly don't understand, and Yuan Zhao doesn't care at all. As long as you pre-lay the chess pieces, you can play an important role in the most critical game battle, slaying the dragon and killing the king! This is the perfect closing point that he wants to see the most.

This day, he finally waited! Just as dawn broke tonight, using the power accumulated by the three cities of Shuofang, he wanted to chase and intercept the King of the Prairie who wanted to get out of the siege of Dragon City, making it impossible for him to escape!

Looking from the heights of Dragon City, the endless Han army camps seemed a little quiet. After the fierce battle during the day, the well-fed and well-fed soldiers of the Han army should have fallen asleep tired, right? It's a good time to break through.

Shan Yu Yi Zhixi's whole body armor, a BMW under his crotch, a sound iron arrow, a gold-handled scimitar, and the king's banner fluttered behind him. At this moment when he was about to fight in person, he didn't want to hide his identity. The majesty of Da Dan Yu Khan is definitely not to be underestimated! He wants to use his invincible momentum to lead the 30,000 most elite soldiers carefully selected, and set foot on the Han army camp to open a bloody road.

Now that it has reached the current point, perhaps only by killing can we reduce the resentment and unwillingness in my heart. Go to God to block and kill God, and Demon to block and kill demons! It's been a long time since he's personally charged into battle, and his sword has been bloodthirsty for a long time!

The 30,000-strong army moved quickly, and the evil horse of Shan Yizhi stepped out of the Dragon City, and blended into the night under the escort of the most loyal cavalry warriors of the thousand horsemen. Earlier, the rangers sent out had already figured out that the Han army's encirclement did not have many troops deployed in the north. This made Shan Yu and his generals want to have a good fight with the enemy again.

The strength of the two armies is about the same now. What will happen if you fight to the death? However, in the end, under the persuasion of several tribal kings and Xiongnu nobles, Shan Yuyi still dispelled this idea. A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! Wait until the base camp at the foot of Huiyin Mountain to accumulate strength, and it will not take three years to make a comeback, and at that time, there will be resentment and revenge, and he will definitely kill him to relieve the hatred in his heart!

In this cavalry team of 30,000 people, in addition to the five or six close tribal kings such as Da Shan Yu Yi Zhiyi and King Kun Evil, there are also two princes who have been trained in the army, as well as a number of royal court ministers and great elders. It can be said that more than half of the most important figures in the Xiongnu court are here. I don't know what Shan Yuyi thinks about it, maybe he is too arrogant, thinking that this time with the two-sided attack of more than 300,000 Hun cavalry, it can be decided in a battle. Therefore, in a war, the entire royal court was moved with him, just to show off his strength and calm some discontent.

He never imagined that such arrogance and risk-taking would lead to extremely serious consequences if it failed. And such a bitter fruit, they will taste it immediately.

When the wind rises in the dark night, the flags are blown and hunting. The moonlight was dim, barely enough to see the distance ahead. The Hun cavalry squinted their eyes on their horses, fortunately they were all warriors who had been tested by wind and sand on the steppe for a long time, such weather was often encountered, although the march was somewhat unfavorable, but for the people on the battlefield, these were nothing.

South of Longcheng to the banks of the Yellow River, is hundreds of miles of flat grassland, that is the best place, the water and grass are abundant, but now it has been blocked by the Han army, and it is a luxury to want to go to the horse and run again. The southwest and east were also surrounded by Han troops. The only vacancy left for Dragon City is due north of the endless sand dunes and shrubs, and there is also a northwest direction.

Although you can go to Yinshan Mountain in the northwest direction, there is a steep mountain remnant vein a hundred miles away, where there is a famous canyon mouth, which is very close to the Baishan Mountain where Mao Dunshan besieged Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. In the direction of due north, after passing through the sand dunes and shrubs, there is an endless grassland flatland, and the route chosen by Yi Zhiyi is naturally a convenient way back to Mobei.

Because of the weather and terrain, the cavalry team could not gallop in this area, so they only marched at a moderate speed. Even so, in just a few moments, it had already broken through to the several large camps that the Han army had stationed thirty miles north of Dragon City.

Somewhat unexpectedly, although the open space outside the camp was lit with torches and all kinds of marching equipment, there was no one empty. This made the Huns, who wielded scimitars and wanted to kill for a while, inevitably a little disappointed. These Han soldiers are too bold, right? It must have been their night scouts who discovered the arrival of the Hun cavalry from a distance, so they fled after hearing the news when they came back to report the news.

Shan Yu Yi and the generals under his command didn't think much about it. But now that the action has been exposed, it is time to speed up. After all, the purpose of this trip is to break through rather than a decisive battle, and if these 30,000 elites can be brought back intact, don't fight meaninglessly.

The leading generals obeyed the order and shouted loudly to order the cavalry under their command to step through the Han camp and go straight north. As long as they crossed the sand dunes and thorny fields in front, even if the Han army caught up, they could not do anything.

Tens of thousands of horsemen trampled the earth like thunder, startling countless wild beasts, desperately fleeing through the dunes and thorn bushes, as if they had a premonition that a terrible battle was about to take place in this former habitat.

In the darkness, countless figures who had been waiting here for a day and a night all stared nervously. After such a long wait, they finally waited for the person they wanted to wait! In this battle, they have to raise their eyebrows, and they will be ashamed of being pressed and beaten for decades. They want to use their bravery and actions to prove that the most powerful army of the Han Dynasty is not only cavalry like the Black Eagle Army and the Red Fire Army, but also the guards of the Han border pass are also hot-blooded men!

Shan Yu Yi Zhixiao definitely didn't expect that the young opponent on the opposite side had already guessed his next move. Dig a trap for the tiger, set up a silver bait to catch a golden turtle! A large net has already been rolled out, just waiting for him to enter the palace.

The army besieged Longcheng, and then forced Zhang Zhongxing, the Xiongnu national teacher, to kill Zhang Zhongxing, the national teacher of the Huns, in order to provoke Shan Yuyi's childish evil, leaving him with only two choices. Otherwise, you will go out of the city and fight to the death with the Han army! Or break through and leave, save your strength, and leave it for revenge.

And according to the essence of Shan Yu Yi's evil hero, he will definitely choose the latter, Longcheng broke through and fled back to Mobei. Therefore, when the Black Eagle Army and the Red Fire Army were resting, Yuan Zhao had already used the power of the Great Han Shangshu Order to control the armies, mobilized a total of more than 20,000 defenders of Yanmen, Shanggu, and Shuofang, and ordered them to march overnight at any cost to detour to the designated place north of Longcheng to secretly ambush and carry out the task of blocking the attack.

Seeing the fierce battle at the front, the Black Eagle Army and the Red Fire Army won brilliant victories one after another, and their fame was spread all over the world. But among all the men in the army, who doesn't want to aspire to it? Now that the final victory has been achieved, the generals of the border passes who received this combat mission are simply ecstatic.

Needless to say, the soldiers of the Han army at the border pass, who were organized as quickly as possible, marched a hundred miles in one breath and came to the designated place in advance to ambush them, waiting for the arrival of the Hun cavalry who wanted to escape.

The road to breakthrough is destined to be extremely difficult. Because, what awaits him on the route he has chosen is not only 20,000 Han army foot soldiers, but also greater killing ......!
