Praise said:

The mountains and rivers are vast, and the grasslands are clear and clear.

Xuanjia carved saddle gallops, lonely Hong glimpse, stone inscription.

Grass and trees can thin horses and scare heroes!

Looking at it, thousands of mountains are in the clouds, and the twilight is like crying blood.

Plum blossoms are mistaken for dusk snow, who knows, proud bones are superb.

withering refuses to compete for beauty, is not afraid, and the wind is cold.

The smoke cloud at the bottom of the sleeve, and the half-pot of spirits entrusts the bright moon.

Let me do it, vertically and horizontally, and the good news will be passed on to the palace!

When the morning sun rose again on the grassland, the flames of war that had been burning for most of the night finally gradually extinguished. Yuan Zhao was immediately at the highest place in Dragon City, listening to the cheers of the soldiers under his command, and his face showed a flat look. What he was thinking about at the moment was not the joy of victory, but the greater challenge that was about to come. Although the raid on Dragon City was successful this time, a huge harvest was made, but it did not catch the Huns Shan Yu Yi Zhixie, and what the Black Eagle Army will meet next must be the Huns' crazy counterattack, if you don't make all the preparations for the battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist.

Dragon City is not actually a city, at least not the kind of male city in the eyes of the Han people, if you really want to call it a city, it can only be said to be a city made of tents.

Although there are a few scattered buildings, but they are only used for the worship of the Khan and the nobles, and the continuous tents used by the Huns are still used to live, which are tall and spacious and hundreds of thousands, becoming an important gathering place for the Huns. But now as far as the eye can see, most of these tents have been burned down, and after the night fire, only green smoke wafts through the air.

Naturally, this fire was set off by the Black Hawks. Ever since Yuan Zhao used fire attacks to achieve unexpected results in several battles, this method of combat has been mastered by the Black Eagle soldiers. The tents where the Huns lived were good targets for fire attacks, and such a simple method of attacking first could achieve a great deterrent effect.

The Black Hawks began their raid on Dragon City at the second watch last night. In fact, they had already arrived less than fifty miles away from Dragon City in the evening, but they concealed their whereabouts, recuperated and rested for a while, and after exploring the best attack route, they waited until nightfall to start their actions.

It stands to reason that Dragon City is such an important place, and now there is a big order sitting here, so it should be heavily guarded and heavily guarded. It's not easy to get close to the raid without being detected. However, Yuan Zhao did it, and there were two reasons why he was so smooth.

First of all, Dragon City is now in a short period of emptiness. The Hun cavalry of the nearby tribes all followed the two kings south to attack Yanmen, and the only remaining Qu Archer King Helan Tubu in the royal court was also sent out a few days ago, and there was no time to redeploy the troops for a while. Everyone in Dragon City never expected that there would be cavalry from the Han army who could touch here.

Another major reason is that the Black Hawks act very decisively and quickly. During the 600-mile journey in one day and one night, on both sides of the brigade and within a hundred miles in front, Yuan Zhao sent the most elite forces in the army, forming more than a dozen squads, like sharp knives, harvesting the lives of all the Hun rangers encountered along the way, with the help of the power of the nine-armed chain crossbow, basically no one could escape. As a result, the Black Hawk Army's course of action has been kept secret, and no news can be leaked to Dragon City in advance.

This is the best embodiment of "the speed of soldiers". Even if the Huns want to report the news, it is too late. Therefore, until the peace of the night when the hooves of the Black Eagle Army trampled on the steppe and sounded near Dragon City, most of the Huns who were awakened were still in a state of ignorance, and they did not understand what was going on.

It was in this panicked atmosphere that a light flashed in the direction of the night, and then a thousand feathers were fired in unison, and thousands of arrows with flames were fired in the first round. The arrows fired by the Black Hawks, all carrying cotton cloth soaked in grease, whether they were shot on the tent or landed on the dry grass between the tents, soon ignited a large fire everywhere, and with the help of the wind, the more and more it burned, the more uncontrollable.

The large number of royal court nobles who came from the south with Da Dan Yu Yi Zhi did not expect that they would encounter a sudden attack in this place in Dragon City tonight. At this point in time, some people had fallen asleep, while others were still gathering to drink and discuss things, and suddenly they were surprised to realize that a fire was burning everywhere, and there was already a loud sound of horses' hooves galloping and killing in the darkness, and they could not help but cry out in a panic and began to flee.

When the chaos began, in the most central golden-domed tent, the Huns Dadan Yu Yi Zhixiao did not rest, after the end of the discussion, several tribal kings and a number of nobles dispersed, he knew that the national teacher Zhang Zhongxing must have something to say, so he left him behind, wanting to think about the Han-Hun war after tomorrow.

As soon as he had said a few words, he saw the flames all around, and the horses from the southwest of the king's tent were like thunder, and it seemed that thousands of troops were rushing to kill them. Yu Yi's childish face changed immediately.

Although he is the king of the steppe empire and has a noble status, when he was a prince, he was also a great general on the battlefield and had rich combat experience. Don't think about it, the first reaction is that there is a cavalry night attack!

Sure enough, his speculation was immediately confirmed. There are Xiongnu generals who defend the periphery hurriedly come to report, there are a large number of cavalry troops killed, although it is not clear in the dark, but listening to the sound must be the army of the Han Dynasty. The thousands of Hun soldiers who were in charge of guarding outside couldn't stop it at all, so please hurry up and dodge in case of accidents.

Yi Zhi's evil Shan was shocked and angry when he heard this, and he was just about to drink the order to gather people and horses to prepare to fight to the death, Zhang Zhongxing had already grabbed him, and then shouted loudly to protect the king and go first! A large number of attendants of the royal court and some of the fire warriors who stayed behind rushed in, and they couldn't help but say that they didn't even have time to put on their armor, so they surrounded the Xiongnu Shan Yu and crossed the city on horseback, and went straight to the north.

I have to say that the national teacher Zhang Zhongxing's immediate decision was very timely, and if he delayed for a little more than half a quarter of an hour, Yi Zhiyi Shan Yu would very likely become a prisoner of the Black Eagle Army. This is definitely not speculation, because in this night raid on Dragon City, except for a small number of henchmen and nobles such as Shan Yu himself and the national teacher Zhang Zhongxing, who escaped, the rest of the kings and nobles were either killed or taken prisoner, and almost not many people were spared.

There are less than a thousand Hun cavalry forces around Dragon City that can fight, how can they be the opponent of the army of three thousand tigers and wolves! What's more, the other party is with a hundredfold confidence in victory, wrapped in the wind and dust all the way, like a sharp arrow shooting fiercely, the soldiers are under the city, vulnerable to a single blow!

The Hun cavalry, who desperately resisted, fell to the ground one after another like scattered leaves, and then were trampled like mud by horses, and the loss of life was as light as a feather at this moment. In the firelight, several captains of the Black Eagle Army broke through the rough wooden fence on the periphery from different directions according to their respective division of labor, and led the Black Eagle knights under their command into the location of the Xiongnu royal court in the southern grassland, and launched a merciless killing.

Before the charge, all the Black Eagle soldiers received a general order issued by Yuan Zhao in the name of the Han Dynasty Great Sima.

"Soldiers into Dragon City! The purpose of this battle is to deter the enemy, so the military law is unscrupulous, and the killing is in oneself! Quick wins. ”

In the Han army, such an order has never been issued by a leading general. Military law is unscrupulous, ......! In other words, Yuan Zhao has allowed them to fight according to their own wishes, as long as they win as quickly as possible, no matter what means they use against the enemy, what people they kill, how many people they kill, and whether there is any violation of the military regulations of the Han Dynasty, he will carry it for everyone!

Under such an order, the 3,000 cavalry of the Black Eagle Army, from Gongsun Rongnu, Zhang Cigong, Han Yan down, to every charging soldier, all turned into fierce tigers, and everyone took the lead. The flame ambition and the Han and Hungarian feuds, the knife head is blood-stained and killing! Tonight's tragic massacre will surely become a terrible memory in the hearts of the Huns forever.

The reason why Yuan Zhao did this naturally had a purpose. From the beginning of his intention to fight the Huns, he set a basic rule and made it the goal of the Han-Hun war, that is, to be "faster, more accurate, and more ruthless"!

He did not want this war to become a national war in which the whole country participated, let alone drag on for years, more than ten years, or even decades. The prosperity that the Han Empire was about to usher in after hard development must not be stopped or destroyed because of such a war. Therefore, from the beginning of burying the 5,000 Hun cavalry alive in Zhenfan Kingdom, he wanted to use this cruel means to deeply shock the hearts of the Huns, make them feel scared and tremble, until they completely surrendered!

In the world of beasts, wolves are tough and brutal animals, they never seem to have been tamed by hunters, and the so-called "wolf ambition and wolf nature are difficult to change" also. But Yuan Zhao wanted to tame this blue wolf on the grassland and make it obediently become the watchdog of the Han Empire...... Let's start with this Battle of Dragon City!

Da Dan Yu Yi fled for most of the night, and after dawn, he finally got rid of the pursuers behind him and entered the sphere of influence of the Right Xian King. Many of the loyal and brave Spitfire warriors and royal court attendants sacrificed their lives on the way to buy precious time for Da Shan Yu, which saved him and a small number of his close ministers.

When the king of Youxian, who got the news, hurriedly organized tens of thousands of troops in the tribe, and finally received Shan Yuyi's evil spirit, the king of the grassland, who was already safe under the protection of heavy troops, looked around at the less than 100 people who escaped with him, and he couldn't help but grieve inexplicably. He turned around and took off his golden sword, raised his hands high above his head, and gritted his teeth and issued orders word by word to the Right Virtuous King, who was waiting to obey the order.

"Today's humiliation of Dragon City, I can't give up! King Youxian, I give you this golden sword in the name of the steppe Dadan Yu Khan, and ask you to mobilize all the horses in the vicinity before it gets dark today, send troops to Longcheng, kill Yuan Zhao, and avenge ...... of revenge! ”
