A bleak mountain wind blew, Dong Zhuo patted the black unicorn under his crotch, and subconsciously held his breath.

Although it is also autumn in the north, the dry temperate continental climate of Xiliang is much stronger than the temperate monsoon climate of Namashu!

For Dong Zhuo, who is accustomed to the bitter cold climate of the northwest, although this slightly warm autumn wind feels very pleasant, it will still cause a trace of subtle discomfort in his body. This discomfort is both physical and psychological.

The blue sky was cloudless, and the sun was shining brightly.

Looking back from this height of the mountain, in the distance is the Yinshan Mountain Range, and the undulating ridge is like a navy blue dragon lying across the earth.

Behind Dong Zhuo was a mighty 50,000 soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, who marched in a long column in a row of three or four through the narrow mountain roads.

The soldiers, each carrying a weapon or flag in their hand, hurried down, and seemed to be more focused on the road under their feet than the complacent ambition of their commander.

The fact that a rapid march through the rugged mountainous terrain at this speed and still maintaining a uniform formation is enough to show the good quality of this force.

At the front of the procession fluttered two large scrolls, one side with a big "Han" character and the other side with a big "Dong" character.

The two flags were as ambitious as the commanders they represented, fluttering in the air against the wind, the tips of the tassels embroidered with gold thread glittering in the sun.

Suddenly, a cavalry scout appeared in front of the queue, and Li Shiying, the general in charge of the outpost, stepped forward to ask a few words, and immediately rode to Dong Zhuo's side and reported to him: "General Dong, the scout in front has reported that he has seen the broken mountain. ”

"Hmm!"

Dong Zhuo chuckled, nodded, made a satisfactory gesture, and said, "At the current speed, you can reach Wuzhou before sunset, very good, continue to move forward at the current speed." ”

"Yes, so the scouts are still operating within the first three miles of the group?"

"Expand the patrol area to five miles. It's about to approach Wuzhou, the number of defenders is not clear, so it's better to be cautious. ”

Li Shi said "order", and just turned the horse to leave, he was stopped by Dong Zhuo again.

"The front army raised a few more flags, so that the Huns could discover the existence of our army early, and then flee from the wind."

Dong Zhuo is full of ambition at the moment, since his rebirth, his war has been smooth sailing, breaking the border chapter Han Sui, Pingxi Liang Zhuqiang, extinguishing the kitchen spring, and never tasted defeat.

Now that the three-way army is concurrent, Dong Zhuo believes that if everything goes well, before the Chinese New Year, he will be able to completely exterminate the rebellion of the Huns!

After half a month of preparation, the elite regiment of Bingzhou, which was ready to go, completed the preparations, and the conquest of the Xiongnu rebellion officially began.

Nearly 100,000 soldiers set out from Yanmen, like a sophisticated military machine, orderly unfolding on the long front from Mayi to Pingcheng, slowly and orderly revealing a sharp edge, pointing directly at the Hetao area of the Xiongnu.

Ding Yuan and Xu Jiang, who Dong Zhuo walked side by side, and a little behind was the radiant Xiao Ma Chao!

Under the influence of the coach, everyone looked relaxed, as if they were just out to go out. Ding Yuan noticed Dong Zhuo's radiant expression, so he asked appropriately: "Lord, do you see what are the chances of our army winning this time?" ”

"Hehe, Jianyang can't help but ask this question!"

Dong Zhuo raised the whip in his hand and said with a smile, "The Huns are only brave cavalry, but they are not good at defending the city, and our army is well-fed and prepared. Now it is only a matter of quick victory and slow victory, and if it is a quick victory, it is impossible to say that this war will be ended before the end of the year. ”

"That's right, there is the lord here, don't say that the Huns who have fallen lonely, even the Xianbei people who are in the sky, can't let the lord take it in his eyes!"

"This is not with Jianyang's help, the Yanmen elite under Jianyang's command are all fierce dragons and tigers, if the Hun rebellion is suppressed, Jianyang should be the first to take the lead!"

The two of them looked up to the sky at the same time and laughed, and the unknown Xiao Ma Chao next to him gave Xu Jiang a look suspiciously, what's wrong?

Ding Yuan's timely compliment made Dong Zhuo feel like a spring breeze.

is not as cold as the cold Dong Zhuo before, but now Dong Zhuo is more and more emotional, and he also likes the feeling of being complimented very much!

The 50,000-strong army arrived at the city of Wuzhou three days after its departure, that is, in the evening of this day.

Everything was as Ma Tan had calculated in advance.

The Huns were very taboo about the Han army taking the initiative to attack, and they had always been the one who took the initiative, and they fought if they wanted, and the Han only had points for defense. However, today's Han army is abnormal, so that the Huns in the interior of Wuzhou City are caught off guard.

When Dong Zhuojun entered Wuzhou, he met with almost no resistance.

The Huns did not expect the Han army to move so quickly, more than 3,000 Hun soldiers stationed here immediately abandoned the city and fled to Dingxiang after seeing the Han army's Daxu, the black "Dong" character Daxu, in their opinion, far more frightening than the crimson "Han" Daxu.

They knew that Dong Zhuo was coming, and they needed to bring the news back to Dingxiang and Shan Yu Wang Court as soon as possible.

Dong Zhuo's army easily controlled the entire street pavilion.

Wuzhou is not big, the narrow official road between the mountains is suddenly opened up here, and the direction of Dingxiang is wide and flat for ten miles, and there are steep mountains and rivers all around.

The small town of Wuzhou is located on the south side of the crossing, two miles behind the city is a broken mountain, this mountain rises from the ground, is about more than 200 zhang high, becomes a peak alone, and the surrounding mountains are not connected; The sound of the clear water river on the side of the mountain is stunning, vaguely seems to have a million male soldiers, under the arch of the towering mountains, it contains a momentum.

The walls of Wuzhou City are dilapidated and in disrepair, and obviously do not have much military value.

Dong Zhuo ordered the general Li Shi to lead 1,000 men into the city to reconnoitre, and at the same time sent another general, Wang Qiao, to lead 3,000 men and horses to the front of the Broken Mountain to reconnoitre. The rest of the soldiers stood by in front of the open area in front of the city.

"Armor on standby?"

Ding Yuan and Xu Jiang looked at Dong Zhuo in surprise, and then Ding Yuan asked tentatively, "Didn't the lord say that he camped?" ”

"Yes, it's not camping, the level is unknown, let them stand by first, and send more scouts to determine the direction of Xiangyunzhong; Also, you are not allowed to camp without my order, and I have other arrangements. Dong Zhuo stroked his thick beard and waved his hand to tell them to execute it as soon as possible.

No matter how easy this victory was, even this was expected by Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo had to keep a clear head and not be sloppy.

Although prudence will make these 50,000 tired troops suffer a little more, but there is no big mistake in being careful, compared with the lives of 50,000 soldiers and the success or failure of the war, these are really not worth mentioning!

The army was exhausted after three days of marching, and it was enough to be relieved that even if they were only ordered to stand by now.

After hearing the order, the soldiers put down their weapons and sat down on the spot.

Dong Zhuo saw the actions of the soldiers, and couldn't help frowning, the defensive awareness of this army was still too poor, but fortunately, those generals did not disappoint Dong Zhuo.

The cautious officers were not careless, they knew that the soldiers at this time were at their lowest level in terms of will and physical strength, and this state was very dangerous, especially since their current position was behind the enemy's flank, and there might be a Hun brigade of Dingxiang at any time.

So they assigned a group of crossbowmen to be stationed on both sides of the avenue, and piled up all the baggage in the middle of the avenue as a precautionary measure.

The soldiers and horses sent out to reconnoiter soon returned, and the results of the reconnoitration, which were completely expected by Dong Zhuo, the city of Wuzhou was empty, and there was no trace of the Huns in the mountains not far away.

"Into town!"

The military order to enter the city was long overdue, and finally reached the ears of every soldier.

The soldiers who were already sitting on the ground and couldn't get up slowly got up under the pull of their comrades-in-arms, and marched towards the gate of Wuzhou City in a scattered line!
