The Huns did not use gongs and drums to march on the march, which was related to the environment in which they lived. In the vast grassland Gobi, no matter how loud the drum sounds, it can't travel far, only the low sound of the horn can penetrate distance and time, and bring information to the distance.

There are many kinds of horns of the Huns, long and short, large and small, and only the horn is the most commonly used one. The whole horn was sawed off and hollowed out to make a horn. Blowing the trumpet requires skill, not that you have a lot of strength and a long breath to blow it. First, he put his tongue against the tip of the horn, puffed out a full breath, and blew out through the gap between the tongue and the horn, and the low sound sounded in the grassland, and it was heard clearly dozens of miles away.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the bull's horn, and one of the spirits sat up. The herald ran in a hurry, and when he entered, he fell on the long carpet of cow hair. Holding his helmet in one hand, he reported loudly: "Yu Danyu, the vanguard Ashi led the troops first privately, and has left their station for ten miles!" ”

Shan Yu took a deep breath, waved his hand to send the herald down, and sank back into his couch on one side. The kings did not wait for Shan Yu's violent jump, and looked at each other one after another. Han Wang sat closest to Shan Yu, coughing, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I took a bite of the crispy pastry, which I also learned from Su Ren, and I liked it very much since I ate it once. It's a pity that the Xiongnu don't produce wheat and rice, and the pastries made only from barley are a bit hard. Absorbing all the pastry residues in his hand, Shan Yu asked, "Who knows why Ashi Nabu left the station?" What was he going to do? ”

No one answered Shan Yu's question, and Shan Yu set his eyes on King Han. King Han knelt up: "Last night, Ashi Nabu looked for Xiao Wang, he wanted to go to Mayi alone, Xiao Wang persuaded him a few times, but now it seems that it has not worked." ”

"Oh!" Shan Yu nodded: "There are 3,000 soldiers and horses in Ashi's department, can he save a lot of grain and grass by leaving?" ”

King Lianpeng hurriedly said: "Yu Shan Yu, Ah Shi Nabu forcibly took a lot of livestock from the minister before leaving, and the minister was about to report to Shan Yu, but he didn't expect him to be gone, now our grain and grass are insufficient, I am afraid that we will have to reduce rations in the future, so as not to starve to death and freeze to death in the desert." ”

"How much did Ashi take with him?"

"General!"

Shan Yu was still not angry, just nodded: "Since that's the case, let's reduce!" Start with me, the daily supply only needs half a catty of meat, and the soldiers and horses of the royal court are the same as mine, as for the others, you can do it yourself. ”

The Lotus Peng King was shocked by Shan Yu's words, this weight was determined by them after research, and only the kings knew. Suddenly hearing Shan Yu say this today, King Lianpeng looked at King Han suspiciously. King Han didn't expect it, and his brows furrowed.

Shan Yu smiled slightly: "What?" It is not enough for me to reduce my Dao, do you want to starve me to death in this desert? ”

King Lotus was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and fell to his knees. The kings also stood up one by one and knelt before Shan Yu. Shan Yu waved his hand: "Stand down!" The wind and snow have been small in the past few days, since the Ashi ministry has led the troops to set off, let's also set off tomorrow, although the horse is small but extremely rich, we can't let the Ashi department take it alone, don't you come with me thousands of miles just for the grain and grass of the horse? ”

Everyone was just about to speak, but Shan Yu closed his eyes: "Yes, stand down, go and prepare, I'm tired!" ”

The vast desert, with wind and snow, looked around a white expanse, if it weren't for the perennial living in this place, the army would probably get lost and freeze to death. When I left, the wind and snow were a little lighter, but I didn't go out of fifty miles, and the wind and snow became heavier again. As a last resort, Ashi Nabu had no choice but to order his soldiers to dismount and take refuge.

Snow caves are the best haven and easy to do. Dig a hole in the ground with a stick or blade and drill into it. It took less than a cup of tea to make the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Ashi Nabu disappear from the bloodline.

Hiding in the snow cave, looking at the blizzard flying outside the cave, Ashi Nabu regretted listening to King Han's words, his subordinates were too few, although he brought enough livestock, what if these livestock did not come out of the desert after eating? With a head tilted back and a large sip of mare's milk wine, Ashi Nabu stretched. The guards on the side hurriedly put the cloak that fell on the ground for Ashi Nabu.

"General, I'm afraid the villain won't be able to get through this long snowstorm for three or five days, why don't we just wait? The king asked the general to follow Shan Yu's army, not to rush to the front line, if the king knew that the general left Shan Yu's brigade without permission, would he blame the general? ”

Ashi Nabu did not look back: "Shan Yu's soldiers and horses have been abolished, relying on those intrigues don't want to beat Ma Yi in this life!" ”

"It's ......!"

Ashi Nabu raised his hand: "Let's set off when the wind and snow are a little lighter, if we can capture Mayi, all those things in Mayi City are ours, and no one wants to take one!" ”

The guard shut up, took the flask from Ashi Nabu's hand, and refilled it with mare's milk wine. Drinking alcohol in winter is very dangerous, and although alcohol can increase the speed of blood flow, it can also make people drunk quickly. Once you get drunk in the ice and snow, there is only one result, and that is to freeze to death. But Ashi Nabu is not afraid, he still has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and there are guards behind him, so he can drink as much as he wants.

Maybe it was because Ashi was drunk, and he actually heard a strange noise. Standing up as soon as he stood up, his head was touched by the top of the low snow cave, and he almost nodded and stuffed it into the snow: "Don't talk!" ”

If you listen closely, there is indeed a strange sound, as if the hooves of a horse are stepping on wood, and it is very clear that it follows one after another. The guards also heard the strange voice, and their eyes widened: "What is this?" ”

Ashi Nabu put the lid on the wine jug: "Send someone to inquire immediately, there must be something strange about such a sound coming from the icy and snowy desert, and it sounds like the sound of bread and conquest!" ”

The guards immediately got out of the snow cave and into the snow.

The sound is getting louder and louder, and I can already hear it very clearly. The guards didn't come back, and a few of the young generals under Ashi's ministry came over. It was also when they heard this voice that they came to ask Ashi Nabu if he wanted to prepare.

The Huns were born warriors, and their perception of danger was exceptionally accurate. When I heard the first sound, Ashi had already decided that it was not a good thing, and since all the young generals were here, it was natural to sit down and prepare, so as not to be caught off guard by something.

The guard finally returned, and the news he brought back surprised everyone in the snow cave, it turned out to be a Han Chinese. The Han people actually came to the desert and went so far? The guards swore that they were indeed Han people, and they could see it clearly, and it was the war drums of the Han people who made that sound.

Ashi Nabu frowned: "How many people?" ”

The guards shook their heads: "There are a lot of people, stretching for miles, and their speed is very fast, and they walk on the snow like flying!" ”

"Is it really the Han Army?" A youngster still doesn't believe it.

The guards were also a little suspicious: "It's true that it's a Han person, it's hard to say if it's a Han army, the scouts didn't dare to get too close, they looked like Han people in their clothes, and there was a big flag with a wolf's head embroidered on it." ”

"Wolf head?" Ashi Nabu turned his head and asked his generals: "Have you seen the Han army of the wolf's head banner?" The youngsters all shook their heads. Ashi Nabu said to the guard: "If you go to investigate again, you must find out what these Han people do!" Also, send someone to the army and tell them to be careful! ”

The young general said yes and got out of the snow cave again.

The thorns were covered with snow, and if it weren't for the people's leather cloaks, they would have frozen like the fellows next to them, snot and tears hanging on their chests, like a round and fangy creature he had seen in the far north. Su Ren's method is very good, but it is too cold, and it is even colder if he sits still. After he got the news that Su Ren asked them to go to Wolf Juxu to harass him, Thorn thought that Su Ren's approach was too strange, since he used Ma Yi to tempt Shan Yu and sent someone to Wolf Juxu, he was not afraid that Shan Yu would turn around and go back halfway?

Old Black Tower held the reins in one hand and the leather whip in the other, and four war horses galloped wildly through the snow with sleds. The two soldiers behind him kept beating the war drums with drum hammers, so as not to lose their companions behind. Old Heita didn't believe that the Huns around him who looked like Han people, this guy was Yu Dan's subordinate, and he came to lead the way for them. According to the direction of this guy, he walked for more than half a month and still didn't see any mountains.

"The surname is Zhao, are you sure you made a mistake?"

Zhao Xin didn't speak, staring at the snow mist with a pair of eyes, and said after a long time: "Someone is watching us!" ”

The old black tower turned his head to look around, it was all white and busy, the snow was the wind, there was no grass and no beasts, and even wolves would not come out in such weather: "Where is it?" Where is there anyone in this place? ”

"I've been following us for a while, and it looks like I'll always be following!"

The creeper also looked around, and said to Thorn: "Wolf Lord, will we collide with Shan Yu's army?" ”

"Woo ......!" Old Heita grabbed the reins of the horse, turned his head and asked the creeper: "Are you sure?" ”

The creeper shook his head: "I don't know, at this time in such a place, except for us, there will be only one single army left, and no one from the tribe next to us will come out!" ”

Zhao Xin frowned: "This place is called the Duck River, it is very likely that the four generals said, generally in spring, this is Shan Yu's hunting ground, almost a thousand miles away from the royal court, judging from the speed of Shan Yu's army's march, it is not good to really meet Shan Yu's army!" ”

Old Heita grabbed Zhao Xin's collar: "You guys are just going to bring us here, right?" Wolf master, slaughter this kid, this kid is not well-intentioned! ”

Zhao Xin relied on the old black tower to grab these clothes, this is not the first time, Zhao Xin is not worried that the old black tower will really kill him, because thorns always speak at this time.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, the thorns made the old black tower let go of Zhao Xin: "What now?" ”

Zhao Xindao: "Since it has been discovered, it is estimated that it is only a thousand troops, if the general wants to eat the front army of Shan Yu's army, he thinks that he should continue to move forward, and he will definitely collide!" ”

Thorn shook his head: "I don't want to fight with the Huns here, Lao Tzu listened to Su Ren's words and lost Shan Yu's fortune in the royal court, and the brothers can't lose it here!" ”

Zhao Xin sighed: "I'm afraid the battle is unavoidable, since the scouts have followed us so far, the army may be on our side, just waiting for us to rest." ”
