Zhao Yunshu and Sima Wangzu took turns fighting with General Fox. General Fox defeated the Zhao people many times and led the Lin Hu people to chase after them. Zhao Yunshu dared to go to the valley mouth, turned back the horse, pulled out the bow and arrows, and shot three arrows in a row. Everywhere the arrow wind went, a Linhu warrior fell off his horse. Zhao Yunshu said in a loud voice: "General Fox is so useless, and he wants to marry me, it's just a fool's dream." ”

When the fox general heard this, he was furious, slashed and killed two Zhao Guotie horsemen with his sword, and went straight to Zhao Yunshu. Zhao Yunshu shot two arrows in a row, but they were both picked off by the other party with a knife. Zhao Yunshu pretended to be scared and hurriedly fled into the valley on horseback. In order to buy time for Zhao Yunshu and the Iron Cavalry Army, the Sima Wang clan brandished the Zhao knife and went to meet the battle and intercept the Lin Hu people. Seeing this, General Fox waved his sword to meet him. After five rounds of fighting, the Sima Wang clan was defeated and fled into the valley in panic.

The fox general was defeated by the Zhao people, and seeing that the opponent's combat strength was not strong, he lost his armor and fled in embarrassment, and said contemptuously: "Zhao people, but that's it." All the warriors, follow me into the valley, kill the Zhao people, and leave no one behind. ”

Lin Hu's army, go to the exit of the valley road. But he saw that there were many Zhao troops in front of him, and he was waiting for them. Suddenly, the trumpets sounded in unison and the drums thundered. The boulder rolled down, blocking the path of the Linhu people. For a time, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The neighing of war horses, the screams of the Linhu people, and the sound of weapons colliding were all in a mess. General Fox was shocked: "It's not good, we have been tricked." Hurriedly returned to the horse, but was blocked by wood and stones, in the middle of which was a clearing, the terrain on both sides was steep, and a large number of Zhao people were ambushed.

Zhao Yunshu saw that Lin Hu was in chaos, raised his hand and said, "Release the arrow." ”

The Zhao army fired ten thousand crossbows in unison and shot General Fox and more than a dozen generals in the valley road. In this battle, Zhao Guo won a complete victory, shooting and killing 10,000 Lin Hu, and his own damage was less than 2,000. Zhao Yong was in a happy mood and rewarded Zhao Yunshu and Sima Wang. After a brief rest, the trumpets sounded in unison and the drums thundered. Zhao Yong led nearly 70,000 iron cavalry and 7,000 foot soldiers to the north.

King Limhu was sitting in a big tent and drinking with the chiefs of the tribes. He believed that it would not be long before he would get the good news that General Fox had defeated Zhao Ren. However, what King Lin Hu didn't expect was the death of General Fox. When the big tent heard that General Fox had died in battle, he was shocked. King Lin Hu shouted: "The Zhao people killed General Fox, and we will avenge him." ”

Seeing that there was no one in the account to cater to him, King Lin Hu shouted angrily: "Why, you are afraid of the Zhao people." You want to give up this territory to the Zhao people. ”

The Aries clan said: "This territory is something we have built with great difficulty, how can we give it up." ”

"Okay." King Lin Hu said: "We will have a bloody battle with the Zhao people." ”

At that moment, King Linhu sent several generals to lead the Linhu warriors south to meet the Zhao people. The Linhu warriors sent out were all defeated by the Zhao people. Seeing that the Zhao people had defeated the Lin Hu warriors many times, the Aries clan said with some timidity in their hearts: "The Zhao people are in full swing, we can't fight anymore." We should avoid it. ”

General Hu also said: "The Zhao people are stronger than we imagined, we are not the opponents of the Zhao people, it is better to withdraw our troops to the north." ”

"Withdraw troops to the north." King Lin Hu was furious and said, "The Zhao people are like a wild wolf, they can eat meat. If we don't want to be eaten by wild wolves, we have to pick up our bows and arrows and shoot them. We withdrew our troops to the north, and the Zhao people chased after us, so it was difficult for us to continue to the north. ”

The Aries clan saw that King Lin Hu was unwilling to cross north, and he was even more unwilling to give up this territory, but Lin Hu couldn't beat the Zhao people. The Aries clan was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "We can't win against the Zhao people. Keep fighting, and we'll lose more warriors. ”

General Hu said: "It's better for us to make peace with Zhao Ren." ”

"Lou Fu, Qin Guo, and Yiqu can't help us, how can we make peace with Zhao Ren." King Lin Hu's words were fierce and uncompromising, "Harmony is not the personality of our prairie boys." We fought against the Zhao people, and it was true that we lost. But we still have tens of thousands of warriors in our hands, who can fight with the Zhao people. We will make peace without a fight, how will the men on the prairie see us. When the building is annoying, the righteous people see that we are weak, and they will take advantage of the fire to rob. Now that the Zhao people are flourishing, we go to seek peace, and the Zhao people will not agree, but think that we are weak and take the opportunity to kill us? Think about it, how the Qin people dealt with the Yiqu people. How the Central Plains people dealt with the steppe people. You want to defend this territory and fight against the Zhao people for your own honor. I still want to be a cowardly person and make a living. ”

General Hu pondered for a moment and said, "I am willing to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao people and defend the territory." ”

The others also snapped, "We will do the same." ”

"Okay." King Lin Hu's eyes were firm, and he clenched his fists and said, "We will fight for honor and defeat the Zhao people." ”

Suddenly, a Linhu warrior rushed in, "Your Majesty, we find a large number of cavalry approaching us. ”

"Just in time." King Lin Hu looked in the direction outside the account and said, "Everyone, follow me to meet the Zhao people." ”

King Linhu walked out of the account, turned over on his horse, looked at the warriors of the Linhu people, and said fiercely: "The Zhao people took my territory, destroyed my homeland, and killed my general." General Fox and many other generals died under the sword of the Zhao people. You are all warriors of the steppe, how can you not avenge the dead? Zhao people are here, what are you going to do. ”

General Hu raised his arms and responded: "Defend the territory and kill the Zhao people." ”

The crowd also chanted: "Defend the territory and kill the Zhao people." ”

"Take up your swords, ye warriors, and slew the heads of your enemies, and with your bows and arrows, they pierce their chests. You must use the blood of the Zhao people to prove that you are the warriors of the grassland. King Linhu rode his horse back and forth, shouting, "Long live the immortal heaven." ”

The warrior of Linhu shouted, "Long live the immortal heaven." ”

Zhao Yong learned that the scout had come to report that there were 80,000 Linhu people in the three miles ahead.

Fei Yi said: "Your Majesty, this is the main force of the Linhu people. We found King Linhu. ”

Zhao Yong looked at the map in front of him and said happily: "After running around for more than ten days, I finally found it." ”

A soldier of the Zhao State rushed over and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Hu's army is heading south, and it is coming." ”

"Just in time." Zhao Yong pressed Zhao Dao and said sharply: "Prepare to fight." ”

Everyone said in unison, "Wow." ”

Zhao Guo arranged his troops to wait for Lin Hu. The formation was undecided, the ground shook, and then the Linhu warriors arrived. I only heard the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground, the sound of the banner spreading the wind, and the sound of Lin Hu rushing to kill, and the sound came from far and near. After a while, Zhao Yong and the others saw the dust flying in front of them, and tens of thousands of Linhu warriors appeared in front of everyone. Fei Yi did not panic and continued to set up the formation. In the middle of the Zhao army, there were 1,000 shield bearers, followed by 2,000 crossbowmen. Behind the crossbowmen was Zhao Guo's iron cavalry.

King Lin Hu asked: "We and Zhao Guojing water do not violate the river water, why do you violate my territory." ”

Fei Yi didn't answer, but asked, "It's King Lin Hu on the other side." ”

King Linhu said: "I am the king of Linhu, who is you." ”

Fei Yi said: "I am Zhao Guo's prime minister Fei Yi." ”

King Linhu shouted angrily, "Why are you attacking my territory? ”

Fei Yi replied: "All the horses in the world are in Linhu. Our country is promoting Hufu cavalry and archery to establish meritorious deeds. We want King Lin Hu to sacrifice horses and fund Zhao to train iron horses. ”

"Horses are our friends. How can I give it to you? You want me to sacrifice my horse, it's a dream. Seeing that his people were numerous, King Lin Hu was bold and provocative: "You don't want to get our war horse." Today, I'll let you see how powerful the prairie boy is. ”

"King Linhu wants to see blood before he is willing to sacrifice his horse." Fei Yi sighed: "King Linhu, if you sacrifice your horse, we don't have to go to war. ”

"Don't talk nonsense." King Lin Hu said angrily: "Let's talk about it after we win." ”

Zhao Yong saw that although the Lin Hu people were numerous, they were not good at fighting formations, let alone strategizing. If they are not defeated, the Linhu people will not surrender, let alone sacrifice their horses willingly. He suddenly remembered that Qu Guanzi had told him that if he wanted to subdue the Beihu, he must first defeat them by force, and second, he should use kindness to influence them. Today, it seems that Zhao Guotieqi and Lin Hu warriors will have a battle.

Since the implementation of Hufu cavalry archery in Zhao State, Zhao Jun has personally led the iron cavalry to cross Zhongshan Kingdom twice. Zhongshan learned Chinese etiquette, and the blood and riding of the Hu people were almost forgotten. When Zhao Guotie rode across the Zhongshan Kingdom, he did not really fight with the Zhongshan cavalry. Facing the Lin Hu warriors this time, Zhao Yong had no certainty of winning in his heart. However, Zhao Jun believes in the generals around him, and even more in the trained iron horseman.

This battle is also the best time to test Zhao Guo's iron cavalry.

Zhao Yong ordered people to beat the drum and prepare for the battle. He wanted to let the Linhu people know that the cavalry and archery of the Central Plains people were not inferior to those of Beihu. He wanted to defeat Lin Hu by force, make Lin Hu submit to Zhao, and willingly sacrifice his horse.

When King Lin Hu saw the sound of the Zhao people's drums, he shouted: "Men of the grassland, use the weapons in your hands to kill the enemy. Use your bows and arrows to pierce the chest of your enemies. Defend the honor of your warriors with the blood of your enemies. ”

The Ringhu warriors let out a deafening shout.

King Lin Hu drew his scimitar and shouted, "Prepare for war." ”

The first drum stopped, Fei Yi pulled out the Zhao knife, and shouted: "Lin Hu people are not convinced, let's let them see the character of the Zhao man." Attack Linhu in the north and open up the territory. Long live Zhao Guo, long live Zhao Jun. ”

"Attack Linhu in the north and open up the territory. Long live Zhao Guo, long live Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun let out a thunderous roar and broke through the sky.

Fei Yi said: "Prepare to fight." ”

King Lin Hu said loudly: "General Hu, you lead 10,000 warriors and launch a frontal attack. ”

"Whoa." General Hu shouted: "Warriors, follow me to kill the Zhao people." ”

Zhao Yong saw that the Lin Hu people didn't have any strategy, so he rushed over directly, thinking: "The Lin Hu people are so nonsense, don't die." ”

Seeing his arrogance, King Lin Hu suppressed the Zhao people and laughed: "The Zhao people don't dare to attack, it's really useless." ”

Seeing that the Lin Hu people were approaching, Fei Yi waved the Zhao knife in his hand forward, and shouted: "Release the arrow." ”

There were 2,000 crossbowmen in Zhao State, 1,000 were released first, and another 1,000 followed. Lin Hu people faced the Zhao people like locusts in the rain of arrows, and it was difficult to avoid. After a few rains of arrows, the Lin Hu people came to the front of the Zhao army, and most of them had been lost. Fei Yi returned the Zhao knife to the scabbard and waved the flag in his hand. Tu Yi received the order and led 10,000 iron horsemen out from the front of the battle, approaching the Linhu people.

Tu Yi divided the 10,000 iron cavalry into ten queues, each team of 1,000 people, and divided and surrounded the Linhu people. The cavalry around General Hu was divided and besieged by the Zhao people, unable to support the front and rear, and could not give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, and was quickly killed by the Zhao people. General Hu broke through the battle formation of the Zhao people and ordered: "Withdraw." ”

Fei Yi shouted: "King Lin Hu, don't descend yet." ”

King Lin Hu saw that there were 10,000 soldiers, less than 2,000 in an instant, and said angrily: "Damn. ”

Aries said: "We might as well flank it." ”

King Lin Hu said: "The Zhao people have powerful bows and crossbows, and they can fight well." We sent 20,000 warriors to attack them on the flanks. The Zhao people will also use bows and crossbows and battle formations to kill us. There's only one way to win now. That is, the whole army is dispatched. ”

The Aries clan was shocked: "The whole army is dispatched. ”

King Lin Hu said: "The Zhao people can't shoot on horseback, so they use bows and crossbows to deal with us." The people of the Central Plains often say that ten will surround it, five will attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be fought, and the enemy will be able to divide it, and if it is less, it can be escaped, and if it is not, it can be avoided. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is captured. ”

Aries asked, "What does this mean?" ”

King Lin Hu said: "We are as many as the Zhao people, and the whole army will attack." The Zhao people's bows and crossbows and battle formations can't play a role, so they are our opponents. The warriors of Linhu listened, and the whole army attacked. ”

Fei Yi saw that all the Linhu people were rushed up, like a strong wind on the grassland, and said in his heart: "The Linhu people come and go like the wind, and they rely on the courage of the moment to fight." If you want to repel the Linhu, you must suppress them by force. ”

Zhao Yong looked at him with fat eyes, and said with a smile: "The widow handed over this battle to you to command." You can fight however you want. Don't ask for the opinion of the widow. ”

Fei Yi said: "Horseback riding and archery are the strengths of the Hu people, and fighting bravely is also the advantage of the Hu people." We have defeated them with bows and crossbows, and they will flee or disobey. In order to make the Hu people submit to us, we will fight against them in the way of the Hu people. The minister decided to dispatch all the iron cavalry to fight against the Linhu warriors. ”

"Zhao Guotie cavalry against the Lin Hu warriors. Is the ferocity of the Hu warriors stronger than the might of the iron cavalry, or the iron cavalry is better than the warriors. Zhao Yong said: "When the Hu people invaded the Central Plains, they often said that we were not as good as them in cavalry and shooting. Today, we will fight against it in the manner of the Hu people. ”

Fei Yi got the promise of the king, let go of his courage and said: "The shield bearers and crossbowmen will stand behind and hold their positions." All the iron riders, charge and kill with me. ”
