Chapter 709 Under the Blade
Lust and ambition are the root of all evil. The young Mrs. Hook Yi actually guessed a lot of things correctly, but at the same time, she also guessed a lot of hearts wrong. Things in the world are not so simple. Perhaps only after the dust has completely settled will we be able to distinguish between black and white.
In fact, at some point, people who are under the general trend simply cannot see the danger ahead. In particular, the emotions that are driven will always easily stimulate the heroic spirit in the depths of the heart. Even mediocre people tend to feel that they have the potential to become the darling of glory in the next moment.
Outside the Wusheng Gate, many of the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Northern Army camp are now in this state. Under the deep darkness of the night, countless swords and armor glittered in the dark, and the lieutenant generals and colonels who had prepared everything were waiting for the final order to attack.
Not long ago, when they had just left the camp of the Northern Army, they had never imagined that things would evolve to this point. However, in just a few days, the situation changed abruptly, and the 20,000 horses and horses who were ordered to enter the king of Chang'an Qin were leaderless, and they were in a dilemma.
The main general Liu Xun was imprisoned for questioning, which has already made people panic. And the latest news brought by his former comrade Shunyi further exacerbated this emotion, which eventually fermented into an anger that could be used to destroy everything. And this is the most important force that King Yan and King Guangling want to use.
"How long will we have to wait?"
The fighting man in the army requires a simple way to do things. After several major lieutenant colonels had arranged everything, they lurked in the dark and stared nervously at the Black Hawk Army camp less than three miles away from them. Tonight's chaos throughout Chang'an and beyond, the signal of the general attack, will be launched from there!
Xun Yi, who singled up the fighting spirit of 20,000 horses, was also replaced by armor all over his body at this moment. Hearing someone ask, as if feeling the tension around him, he replied confidently with the handle of the knife in his hand.
"Rest assured, generals, it will definitely not exceed three watches. When the Black Hawk Army is on fire, it can be broken with a combined force from the inside and outside! ”
Hearing his affirmative tone, many people who were still worried in their hearts secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, there is a faint excitement lurking. It's the Black Hawks on the other side! It is known as the strongest army in the world. If there's a real chance to beat them once tonight, that's really amazing. Even for such glory, after this battle, no matter whether the big thing can be done or not, it is worth it!
"Good! Give the order down, unsheath the sword, wind the bow, and be ready to attack at any time...... The future fate of all the people in the Northern Army camp will be decided only tonight! ”
In the depths of the night outside Chang'an City, the wind suddenly rose, from Wushengmen to the Black Eagle Army camp, and then to the Northern Army camp soldiers and horses stationed, although nothing could be seen clearly in this empty area, but in the sporadic firelight, there was already endless killing intent slowly condensing.
Rich but take at the head of the knife! Everyone who holds a knife in his hand, no matter what his identity is, as long as he has this goal, which will be possible to achieve after this effort, is full of enthusiasm and motivation.
In the silent camp of the Black Eagle Army, there is also such a group of people who are boiling with blood. But they didn't do it to get rich, they wanted to survive. Or rather, for revenge.
The Xiongnu nobles who were escorted here from Mobei were originally disheartened, thinking that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow would be the moment of their death. As for wanting to find a way to escape or even make waves within the territory of the Han Dynasty, he didn't even dare to think about it.
However, before death came, someone gave them hope of life. Is this the Immortal Heaven finally hearing their crying and crying for blood? After the Hun nobles were confirmed, they couldn't help but bow to the heavens with a sense of surprise.
How could a noble descendant of the wolf clan die in such a humiliating death! The final destination of these brave warriors should be in a desperate battle of swords on the battlefield where they rushed to kill.
The evil king who had been a traitor deserved to die, but when his two sons came to deliver the news of tonight's operation, the most stubborn old Hun nobles forgave them.
"As long as tonight's operation is successful, after assisting the new emperor of the Han Dynasty to ascend the throne...... No matter what kind of reward they give, your Evil Clan is the recreator of the entire grassland, and the candidate for Da Shan Yu will definitely come from the Evil Clan! This is a commitment shared by all of us. ”
Prince Luo Shan and his brother looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction. That's exactly what they're trying to achieve. After tonight, the Hun Evil King family will surely become the most important link between the Han Dynasty and the grassland forces, and its status can be imagined. As for some of the important people of these Xiongnu nobles who could threaten their interests, they might as well take advantage of the chaos and kill them...... This was originally something that the Evil King had secretly told, and the two princes naturally met and acted at the opportunity.
Maybe it's because they've returned to Chang'an, or maybe it's because the proud Black Eagle Army is too arrogant, and it's surprising that the defense and inspection of the entire garrison camp are very lax. What a godsend!
"Now hurry up and prepare, in a quarter of an hour there will be a fire in the camp, and that will be the time when we will raise our troops! The Han army on the other side will come to pick them up. And in the city...... Life or death, it's in this game! ”
Prince Luoshan said the last order with a stern face, and then turned around and walked out of this temporary detention place. He raised his head as he strode forward, although Chang'an City was no longer visible in the night, he knew that in that direction, their father, the Evil King, must be about to draw his scimitar and fight to regain his freedom.
During the day, he had already carefully surveyed the entire Black Hawk Army camp. The general Wei Qing has not yet returned in Chang'an City, and the first general Cao Xiang is said to have died, and Su Jian is not there, and some elite soldiers and strong generals have entered Chang'an. Now temporarily commanding the whole army is "Gongsun Shuangxiong". That is, Gongsun Rongnu and Gongsun Ao.
These two generals who have been made marquis for their merits are brave, but when it comes to the art of power change, they are far behind. With this in mind, Prince Luoshan's belief in victory deepened a little. Sure enough...... After glancing around again, he smiled coldly. These two brave and unscrupulous fellows have made even the most basic night patrols so lax, and they are sparsely nowhere to be seen, they deserve to suffer a big loss tonight!
The Huns, who were about to regain their freedom, were preparing with their hands. Although they did not have swords, bows and crossbows or other weapons in their hands for the time being, and they did not have war horses to ride, this did not stop them from wanting to fight bravely. As long as the battle begins, nothing in this world can bring them to their knees again.
And the 2,000 heavily armed Hun cavalry have also been mobilized. They are all warriors of the Hun Evil King family, and they will naturally obey the will of the Hun Evil King and the prince. When they were asked to surrender to the Han army, they would not hesitate to do it if they turned the direction of the scimitar to kill the Huns. Now, if they swing their knives at the Black Hawks, they still won't blink an eye. These people were originally dead soldiers, and only the blade and blood and endless killing could stimulate their nerves. Tonight, in the north of Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, they will have the first slash!
"Brother Wang, don't wait any longer...... Let's go! ”
"Good! May the blessed heavens of eternal life break through Chang'an, and everything will go well! ”
Under the waning moon, the fire flickered, and the descendants of the wolf clan roared to the sky, and pulled out their scimitars in unison. The 2,000 Hun cavalry and more than 1,000 bare-handed captured nobles seemed to be transformed into a ferocious wolf pack, spreading their claws and fangs and pounced viciously on the enemy army that had made them tremble!
The Huns, sure enough, were not disappointed! Although they had expected it for a long time, they were pleasantly surprised by the facts. Unexpectedly, the Black Eagle Army, which was imposing on the grassland battlefield, was so vulnerable. Many Huns have also heard that the Central Plains people have a saying called "arrogant soldiers will be defeated", and tonight they finally knew that what they said was very reasonable!
The Black Hawks, who were caught off guard by a surprise attack, were obviously defenseless. The hastily organized resistance of the Huns, sensing the intentions of the Huns, had no effect at all. Almost as soon as they made contact, they scattered and fled. And the two commanders, that is, the famous brave generals "Gongsun Shuangxiong", jumped on horseback and led the back of the hasty escape in the firelight, and fell in the eyes of the pursuing Hun warriors, which made them feel confident and shouted to kill, as if they had returned to the days of chasing prey on the grassland.
Everything seems very unreal. The three thousand Huns let nearly 10,000 elites of the Black Eagle Army flee in the wilderness, and it was only half an hour before and after. When the soldiers and horses of the Northern Army rushed over when they saw the signal of the fire, they were surprised to find that there seemed to be nothing to do.
"These Huns...... Why is it so powerful? is outnumbered, and even the Black Hawk Army is no match! ”
The leading generals of the northern army camp watched in astonishment as the Hun cavalry came back with great might, although there was nothing to gain, but their defeat of the Black Eagle Army was the reality in front of them, looking at the broken camp tents and the raging fire, it was unbelievable.
"Isn't it just right for us to have such reinforcements? Hehe! In this case, after the defeat and flight of the Black Eagle Army, there is no need to worry. The front of Chang'an Wusheng Gate is less than thirty miles away...... Let these Huns rush to the front! ”
Shunyi and all the generals of the Northern Army were in high spirits. Through the burning fire, illuminating the road to Chang'an, the blade pointed, immediately under the city!
However, after these rebels turned their horses, they did not know that in the night behind them, miles away, it took only a short time for the fleeing Black Hawks to regroup into battle formation.
"Full speed pursuit! Be sure to close outside the Wusheng Gate...... You must not let Yuanhou and General Wei down! ”
Under the banner of hunting, the iron-blooded warrior "Gongsun Shuangxiong" with a knife and a lance went first, and the head of the horse was first, and the murderous spirit was soaring.
