Chapter 9: The Price of Determination

The war began in its entirety.

It shows that Liu Ling has no intention of bowing his head.

Her life's quest was not to bow down to anyone, and now, she has done it.

There is no room for maneuvering between her and Liu Che.

She wanted to use this war to tell Liu Che that she had not forgotten the humiliation that Liu Che inflicted on her.

She also wanted to use this war to tell the Huns that she had not forgotten the pain inflicted on the Huns by the Han people.

It was very difficult to reconcile the Great Han Kingdom with the Xiongnu, and it would damage Liu Ling's ruling foundation, so after not getting benefits from Yun Lang, Liu Ling brazenly launched an attack on Yangguan.

Although, such a war itself is of little significance, she needs to show her attitude and tell all the Huns that although she is a Han, she will not have a heart for the Han, and she is now the great clan of the Huns, and in the future, she will become the king of the Huns.

After it didn't make much sense to stay in Yangguan, Liu Ling left decisively, she had more important things to do.

Her millions of people still need to find their final place under her command.

Yun Lang still admires such a killing decision, and after removing the emotional factor, such Liu Ling has become a real king.

Looking at the battlefield in front of him, Yun Lang didn't know what to say.

The most boring and meaningless tragic war in the world is happening in front of his eyes, and as the commander-in-chief, he has to accompany him.

The battle situation was not very favorable to Yunlang, and the bad army led by Li Guangli did not enter the south gate as scheduled.

Li Guangli rushed left and right, but there were more and more Huns around him, even under the cover of the dense crossbow arrows at the head of the city, he could not continue to advance to the south gate.

"Yunhou save me!"

After Li Guangli was stabbed in the left shoulder, the heavy armor on his body was finally smashed, and in despair, he raised his head and shouted to Yun Lang at the head of the city.

The battlefield was full of people, Yun Lang did not hear Li Guangli's desperate cry for help, even if he did, at this moment, his focus was not on Li Guangli, who should have completed the military affairs early.

Li Ling's infantry army, after completing military affairs, not only entered the west gate, but after a short rest, his infantry army appeared on the battlefield again.

The complete military formation commanded by Li Ling, Yun Lang has seen it, but he has never seen it appear on the battlefield.

This time, it was at Li Ling's repeated requests that Yun Lang allowed Li Ling to fight again!

Li Ling's battle array is the secret of the Li clan in Longxi, even Li Dang does not know how to apply, the composition of the military array is very simple, with halberd and shield warriors as the rejection of horses, and the back row of crossbowmen.

The 5,000-strong army was thrown on the battlefield of more than 100,000 people, like a stone thrown into the water, and soon turned over into waves.

The halberd and the shield-wielding warrior stooped forward, the halberd poking out of the gaps in the shield, killing the enemy by the crossbowmen hiding behind the shieldmen.

Crossbow arrows are like locusts, sweeping any enemy in front of the army, even if there are remnants of the enemy, will be slashed by the halberd.

In just one pillar of incense, Li Ling actually advanced a hundred zhang in the chaotic army formation of the Huns.

"What is he going to do?"

Sui Yue looked at Li Guangli, who was attacked by the Huns and had almost no power to fight back, and then at Li Ling, who was scattered and fled by the Huns, and couldn't help but complain.

Yun Lang smiled, pointed to the mound outside Baizhang and said, "Li Ling is going to occupy that mound, and then condescendingly shoot the Huns with crossbow arrows." ”

Sui Yue hesitated and pointed to Li Guangli, who was only three or five hundred people left, and said, "He's dying." ”

Yun Lang glanced at Li Guangli impatiently, and said to Huo Guang: "It's a big deal for me, start a trebuchet!" ”

Huo Guang nodded hatefully and waved the yellow flag, and as a result, countless clay bullets the size of human heads made of clay flew out of the city wall.

After the heavy clay bullets fell to the ground, some of them shattered, and the hard pottery shards that exploded scattered in all directions, and the Huns who hit them fell one after another.

And those clay bullets that did not shatter, after jumping on the ground a few times, rushed out of a bloody path in the dense military formation of the Huns.

Seeing this, Li Guangli roared, mustered up his bravery, slashed the Huns in front of him with a knife, cut off a horse's leg with another knife, and took the lead in running towards the closed south gate at the risk of being hit by a clay bullet.

Yun Lang looked at Li Guangli, who had entered the hole in the city gate, and snorted coldly, and no longer paid attention to this ambitious and talented guy.

Compared with Li Guangli, Li Ling's side looks much more pleasing to the eye, and after the more than 5,000 troops broke through to the mound, they were like a scattered lotus flower, arranged on the hill layer by layer.

Let the Huns attack frantically, this lotus flower will be put away and spread out for a while, and it can always dissolve the Huns' attacks again and again.

"Li Yong, what's going on with Li Shen?"

Yun Lang withdrew his gaze from Li Ling's military formation and set his gaze on Sui Yue.

"General Qiyu, before a pillar of incense, Li Yong came to report, Li Shen, curtain smoke, fox chief, is fighting fiercely with the Huns at the mouth of the Great Wall, and now, it is about to return to the gap in the Great Wall."

"How about the Yumen Pass?"

"There is no war in Yumen Pass!"

Yun Lang said with a smile: "The Huns are leaving, ready to attack the whole army at any time!" ”

Sui Yue was shocked!

"General, I'm afraid the Huns are waiting for us to get out of the city."

Yun Lang slowly straightened up, looked at the remnant sun that was about to fall in the distance, and said, "The Huns are leaving." ”

"Leaving?"

"Yes, there were more than 100,000 people at the beginning, and after the Qiang people finished depleting, there were less than 100,000 people left.

Now, if you look at it again, the Huns who remained on the battlefield did not even have 50,000 people.

This is also the reason why Li Ling dared to go deep into the enemy formation.

At this time, the only person who could make the Huns take the initiative to withdraw from the army was the sick general, and I don't know what method he used to transfer so many Huns on the battlefield.

However, I suspect that the rest of the Huns should have been left to us by the sick general.

The sick should have come to the neighborhood, and if the Huns don't leave, then there is no need to go.

Come on, beat the drums, and cheer for General Lee! ”

The dense drums sounded, and Li Ling, who was in the fierce battle, glanced back at the head of Yangguan City, wiped the blood on his face, and sneered at his subordinates: "The whole army is assaulting!" ”

The circular array immediately turned into a sharp arrow array, Li Ling jumped up from behind the giant shield, swept the halberd, overturned a war horse, turned the halberd, and gently hooked back, and a human head exploded with blood.

"The handsome man forgives his sins!"

Li Guangli, who was disheveled, knelt at Yunlang's feet, trembling.

"The general is too modest, you and I are already different, how can I deal with crimes, pack up your soldiers and horses, and let's go out of the city together!"

Li Guangli's big eyes were about to crack, he never expected that he had just returned from defeat, and Yun Lang wanted him to go on the expedition again.

Sui Yue hurriedly said to Li Guangli: "The whole army is attacking, you won't go out, right?" ”

Li Guangli saw that Yun Lang had already grasped the halberd and stepped on the war horse, he couldn't help but shiver, wiped the blood stains on his body, lifted the long knife and followed closely, and the remaining 5,000 subordinates who remained in Yangguan City were kicked and beaten by the officers and sent to the battlefield.

When Huo Quzhi rode a black horse out of the direction of the setting sun, Yun Lang laughed silently, this guy is always like this, he never shows up easily until an important moment.

Behind him was dusty...... There seem to be thousands of troops......

"Attack!"

Yun Lang urged the war horse to be the first to leave Yangguan, and after running for a hundred zhang, Sui Yue, Huo Guang, and Li Guangli had already surpassed him.

So, he simply slowed down his horse, and under the wrap of his guards, he continued to move on.

Countless hurried horns sounded, and the Huns who were fighting fiercely looked westward, and they saw Huo Qubing running in front of the billowing smoke and dust at first glance.

A Hun cavalry went straight up, but it was like a huge piece of cheese meeting a hot knife, and it was easily cut.

Behind him, dust rose to the sky......

Yun Lang went out of the city, and the empty group was dispatched, and finally shook the heart of Heng Yuzhen, the left general of the Huns, who wanted to leave.

He gave up the Huns who were fighting, and slowly retreated with the Hun Chinese army, which was almost intact, and the horn of the Huns demanding the return of the Huns sounded urgently.

Seeing that the Huns' main formation was finally shaken, Li Guangli shouted, urged his war horses, broke away from Yunlang's military formation, and stabbed obliquely to kill a group of scattered Huns......
