Chapter 170: Take a turn under Yanran Mountain

The suffering of the Menba people will not last long, because of the next changes, even the two most powerful figures on this road, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Shan Yu, the monarch of the Xiongnu, did not expect the later changes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Ming led the people towards the northwest. Because more than a dozen people led by Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing were heading towards the northwest and sneaking into the hinterland of the Xiongnu.

According to the map in Yan Ming's hand, further along, it should be Yanran Mountain. Further north of Yanran Mountain is Beihai. It was the place where Su Wu was famous for shepherding sheep in history.

The scenery of the grassland is infinitely good, but Yan Ming is not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment. Because Chengxin has just returned. Dugall's army then caught up. And the direction seems to be coming in its own direction.

Yan Ming took out the map and calculated the direction, and finally Yan Ming felt that he was heading towards Yanran Mountain, drawing a large arc counterclockwise on the grassland, going around from Qilian Mountain back to Longxi, and returning to Chang'an. He didn't believe that Dugall's army would chase him all the time. According to Chengxin, Duggal was only bewitched by the wizard and went in his direction.

More than 100 horsemen galloped wildly across the steppe, and behind them, Dugal's cavalry of nearly 2,000 men followed unhurriedly. Duggall had no idea that there were cavalry of the Han army in front of him. He believed that the group of Han Chinese had returned to Shuofang City.

Just as Yan Ming and the others were on their way straight to Yanran Mountain, Dugal's wizard divined again. It is said that the direction of a little further northwest is another small tribe. There is a side branch left by the Xianbei people who let the Huns release horses, and the surname is Murong.

"Wang, although the Murong tribe is small, it has one characteristic, their clansmen, whether they are male or female, are all handsome and tight!" The wizard said.

"Handsome!" Dougall is a complete womanizer. He didn't care about this lowly Xianbei tribe at all. It was the handsomeness of men and women that had a strong attraction to him.

"Let's go, go to the Murong Department." Dugall's cavalry, again deflected an angle to the northwest.

Yan Ming, on the prairie, drew an arc in the established direction. This caused an intersection in the marching routes of Yan Ming and Dugal. And their intersection is where the Murong Department is located.

On the prairie, after walking for two days, high mountain passes began to appear in the distance of the flat grassland, endlessly. Yan Ming took out the map and compared it, only to find that the mountain range in front of him was Yan Ran Mountain.

"Yanran Mountain, in front of Yanran Mountain!" Yan Ming shouted excitedly in his heart. Le Shi Yanran, what a famous feat in history. It was a great victory of the Han Dynasty over the Xiongnu.

The army of the Han Dynasty went through a lot of hardships and countless vicious battles before it reached Yanran Mountain. And now with a hundred light horses, he was lucky to cross most of the Xiongnu territory and ran here.

In the middle, Yan Ming is not a tribe that has not encountered the Huns. But they were always scouting ahead, and they were always able to quietly bypass the Huns' gathering places on the steppe.

Along the way, how many Huns gathered, Yan Ming asked someone to write them down. At the same time, he himself secretly marked the map.

The Huns are nomadic people, and these gathering places can only be used as a reference, because next year, the gathering place of these people may be a pasture.

"A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, Yan Ran has no plan to return, thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city!" Yan Ming looked at Yanran Mountain in the distance and groaned loudly.

"Now that we've traveled most of the Huns, it's time to go home. It's just a pity that my second and third brothers are missing. Yan Ming had to admit that he lost Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing.

Le Shi Yanran, Yan Ming decided to leave this matter to Wei Qing to do. I still don't want to take the credit of Wei Qing. Taking a turn at the foot of Yanran Mountain can be regarded as showing off his might.

He reined in his horse and turned around, and on the prairie, drew a huge arc. Return in the direction of Qilian Mountain.

"Report!" When the scouts came back again, they shouted loudly.

"Say!" Yan Ming said.

"The Xiongnu tribe was found ahead, and it seems that the whereabouts of General Gongsun Ao have been found among the Xiongnu tribes." The scout said.

"Second brother!" Yan Ming asked, "How are they now?" ”

"The front should be the Murong Department of the Xiongnu, General Gongsun, they are free for the time being, and there is no danger." The scout said.

"Why didn't Feng Laoqi come back?" Lou Xiaowu clearly remembered that he sent scouts in two directions. But only one came back, but Feng Laoqi didn't come back.

Before the scout could answer, everyone felt the earth tremble. Veterans know that this is the tremor of horses stepping on the ground before a massive cavalry attack.

"Enemy attack!" Su Jian roared. All the Hu Cavalry lieutenants drew their swords.

The cavalry of the Huns was none other than that led by the little king Dugal. Nearly two thousand cavalry made the earth tremble under their hungry feet.

"Withdraw!" One hundred versus two thousand, not the brain-dead know, there is death and no life. Yan Ming immediately ordered.

"The general retreats first, and we cover!" Su Jian brandished the swallow knife and was about to rush out.

"All the officers above the rank of commander, stay behind, and the others retreat!" Yan Ming roared angrily, drew his Yan knife, and swung it towards the back of the team.

"Yan Hou-" Su Jian still had to argue.

Yan Ming's expression was dazed, and he roared: "Obey! ”

"Withdraw, to the southeast, withdraw immediately!" While ordering the soldiers to carry out the order, Su Jian took a group of veterans and officers to protect Yan Ming and retreat at the rear of the team.

Chengxin didn't stop Yan Ming's behavior, but followed Yan Ming step by step.

This kind of retreat plan in which the officers retreat first and the soldiers retreat first has made the centripetal cohesion of the 100-Han army grow unprecedentedly. At the critical moment, if the general does not abandon the soldier, then the soldier will not abandon the general.

"Yanhou, there is the Murong Department ahead, even if we die, we will slaughter one more Xiongnu tribe." Someone yelled.

For the sudden crisis, Yan Ming didn't think that he would continue to have good luck and be able to avoid it. His eyes were bloodshot as well. A few days of grassland rush have squeezed out the ruthlessness of a man in his bones.

"Kill! Kill one is enough, and two will earn. Yan Ming smiled.

In the rear, the Huns' cavalry was still far away, but they found their fleeing army. The Huns roared and charged.

Ahead, above the grassland, a small tribe appeared.

The sound of the two groups of cavalry had already alerted this small tribe belonging to the Xianbei people. They closed the gates, and the men took up weapons to fight, while the women took up their children and hid in their tents.

Among these people, Gongsun Ao and three or four people were also among them, and the Yan knives in their hands were particularly obvious.

"Yanhou, the Murong Department in front has closed the gate of the walled gate and is guarded by bows and arrows." Message came from the knight ahead. The pace of the march slowed down.

"Is it the fourth outside?" Gongsun Ao recognized the Hu Cavalry Captain led by Yan Ming and shouted loudly inside.

"Second brother!" Hearing Gongsun Ao's voice, Yan Ming immediately rushed to the front and saw Gongsun Ao in the crowd.

"Open the door and let my fourth brother in." Gongsun Ao said that he was about to open the door.

Among the Murong people inside, there was a tall old man who was still a handsome old man despite his age, and said categorically: "Not allowed! You said that you are a merchant, and my Murong Department took it away. Now that I have met the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, this will bring the disaster of extermination to my Murong tribe. Come on, take it! ”

As the old man shouted, the surrounding Murong tribesmen pointed the finger at Gongsun Ao and several of his subordinates.
