Chapter Seventy-Three: The Valley of the Lost

Mao Dun didn't have much time to explain the ins and outs in detail, so he quickly asked Moda to assign tasks to everyone. Murda followed the sketch he had drawn, piled up a simple sand table with the soil on the ground, and began to dispatch troops one by one. The army had not yet been fully mobilized, and a horse flew in the distance, and it was Eled. Seeing that his face was covered with sweat, he shouted as he ran

"Prince! Haba's army is already on the other side of the river! ”

Ilder jumped off his horse and explained what he had been doing on the riverbank. It turned out that Haba learned that Mao Dun had escaped from the cliff on the southern slope of Guyan Peak, and hurriedly commanded the royal cavalry in the west, north, and east directions to gather together and pursue to the south. I also heard that the defenders of the southern slope had crossed the river in pursuit, but there was no news for half a day. Haba was worried that the 2,000 men would not be able to handle the Maodu, so he ordered all the troops to throw down their heavy weapons and rush to the Yuwu River lightly.

It wouldn't be long before Haba arrived here and said to the people around the sand table

"It's all clear, right?"

Everyone nodded

"Good! Do what you do! ”

Everyone went and got ready.

Haba Zhilu said that this time he must not let go of Maoton, otherwise he will suffer endlessly. He drew his scimitar and slashed down several royal court cavalry who were moving a little slowly, and ordered the generals

"Whoever dares to wait for him will be killed! River! Fast! Whoever kills Mao Dun for me, I will reward him with 10,000 gold and seal Hulun Village to him! ”

Forced by Haba's obscenity, the 60,000-strong army crossed the Yuwu River in less than an hour. As soon as he crossed the river, Haba saw a large mountain in the distance, and the valley and ravines in the mountain were criss-crossed, and the terrain was very complicated. At the mouth of the valley there were two horses, Maudon and Meda at the horse. Seeing that these two people seemed to be pointing fingers at their troops.

Damn, the two of them still dare to be so bold, they didn't run away quickly, and they were still comparing here. Could it be some kind of conspiracy? Haba was thinking in his heart, and he didn't dare to step forward.

He thought about it, even if Mao Dun escaped, there would be at most a thousand people around him. The one who is good with Mao Dun is also King Zuoxian. Now that King Zuo Xian is going to attack Dragon City with all his cavalry, it is impossible to send troops here. Could it be that the Right Virtuous King also rushed to the rescue? Hum! At most, there are 30,000 people, and he has 60,000 in his hands, what are you afraid of him doing?

Thinking of this, Haba was relieved. He asked the front army of 10,000 to enter the valley to chase and kill, and he followed far behind.

Ten thousand cavalry charged together, and the earth rumbled. When he was about to reach the mouth of the valley, Mao Dun looked a little flustered and patted his horse and headed towards the valley. 10,000 cavalry pursued closely behind, and since Haba had given the order to kill, these royal cavalry fired arrows while pursuing. Maudon felt the bow and arrows behind him like locusts, whistling and striking at them. Fortunately, the distance was far away, and these bows and arrows could not reach the two of them.

The leading general looked at the valley and found that the valley was not narrow, and even if it was ambushed, there was room for retreat. It's just that this valley is criss-crossed, and it is particularly easy to turn. He gave a sign as he chased him, and then sent a herald to report to Haba. After Habba received the report, the army of the commander boldly followed the pursuit, trying to join the front army.

At this time, Liu An, who was at the top of the Scattered Soul Peak, was watching the form in the valley, and when she saw Haba being fooled, she immediately shot a whistle arrow into the sky. The whistle pierced through the sky, making a sharp cry in the air. As soon as Moda heard that it was a whistle and arrow, he knew that he could proceed to the second step.

When he reached a fork in the road, he also took out his whistle and shot an arrow to the left. Then he and Maudun took the reins and ran to the valley on the left, and Haba's 5,000 men followed into the valley.

Because the front army and the brigade distanced themselves, when the front army suddenly turned into this valley, Haba did not notice. When they reached this fork in the road, there was no trace of the front army, and I don't know whether the road would continue to the left or right.

When he was in a dilemma, he saw more than a dozen royal court cavalry rushing out of the valley on the right, and he saw that the outfit was ordered. With a wave of their hands, the cavalry motioned for the brigade to follow to the right. Haba saw the valley narrowing and feared an ambush. So he sent 10,000 men from the left army to follow these heralds, and he himself took the remaining 40,000 to follow. He thought, there are 10,000 in front and 10,000 in the middle, even if there is an ambush, he can lead the 40,000 army in his hand to follow up and relieve the siege. Anyway, I have soldiers in my hands, what are I afraid of.

After running with the herald for a while, he suddenly saw two people turn out of the valley, it was Meda and Maudun. The generals of the left army wondered, could it be that the front army chased the two of them away? Regardless of him, it is important to kill Maudon anyway. So they chased after him. Liu An, who was at the top of the Scattered Soul Peak, saw that the left army was chasing closely, and opened up the distance from Haba's brigade again, and released another whistle towards the sky. Hearing the sound, Meda hurried his horse to a fork in the road not far away, shot a whistle to the left, and then turned into the valley on the left with Maudun, and 10,000 left troops followed.

When Haba caught up, another soldier was gone. After waiting for a while, more than a dozen heralds came to the valley on the right and waved at him for him to follow, and without saying a word, Haba commanded the army to pursue to the right side of Lu. Haba thought that there were many valleys here, and there must be chaos, but the team in front of him had only messengers coming and going, and it seemed that there was no ambush. It is estimated that Mao Dun relied on this chaotic valley to constantly dodge, and simply disrupted and divided his troops to pursue. Anyway, there were soldiers in hand, so he ordered the 40,000 people in his hand to be divided into four teams, each team of 10,000, divided into pursuit, echoing back and forth, and if there were ambushes, they would take care of the siege before and after.

The willow bank at the top of the Scattered Soul Peak was overjoyed when she saw this, and Haba finally divided her troops, and she shot three whistles in a row towards the sky. Meda heard it and said to Maudun

"Big brother, Haba was completely fooled. Just now, we didn't have enough troops, so we couldn't eat so many people at once. Now that the front army and the left army have been caught, there should be a chance of victory. ”

"Brother, listen to you completely. It's just that Mo is different, they are going to be tired, and they have to run around with the golden people. ”

The two brothers smiled at each other, and then led Haba's right army of 10,000 men into a valley.

It turned out that Meda had ambushed the 30,000 cavalry brought by the Right Virtuous King in three places. Each ambush site is a valley with two narrow and medium-wide ends, and as soon as the enemy's 10,000 men enter, the entrance and exit are immediately sealed with boulders, and then the ambush soldiers stand on the valley and aim their bows and arrows at the bottom to prepare for launch. Mao Dun and Mo Da took turns shouting to the Hun soldiers who had been ambushed, and the content of the shouts was exactly the same as the defenders who had persuaded them to surrender on the southern slope of Guyan Peak. Haba's secret letter to the Marquis of Humi, Haba's prince's seal letter, the returning Jinren, and the head of the Marquis of Humiling, together with the touching speeches of Meda and Maudun, and the precedent of the submission of 2,000 royal court cavalry, made the royal court cavalry who had been living under repression for a long time admire and swore allegiance to Maudun.

Meda is not to destroy them, but to turn enemies into friends, which is the so-called "invincibility of the benevolent". This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other. Who really wants to kill their own siblings? These Hun cavalry all felt that following Prince Maudun was the right way.

Now the strength of Maudun and Haba is compared to 60,000 against 40,000. Morton has invisibly shifted the advantage completely to his side.

"There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. Big brother, now you can order the siege of Haba. ”

Murda was overjoyed with the result. Mao Dun looked at the fifth brother and admired it very much. This Murda is not only scheming, but more importantly, this method can make the Huns not kill each other, and can keep the most precious vitality of the Huns, which shows that he has good intentions and benevolence. The Moda in front of Mao Dun is not only a brother born and dead, but also a good day to govern the country and the world. He felt like God had given him Murda.

"Good! Warriors of the Great Huns, listen to my orders......"

Behind Mao Dun was a huge military formation lined up neatly, the banner of the Huns fluttering in the wind, and the clear wolf tooth totem on it fluctuated in the wind in the autumn day of slaughter. The 60,000 elite Hun cavalry under the battle flag held their heads high, and the scimitars and bows in their hands shone dazzlingly under the scorching sun. At this time, they only have the same goal in mind, that is, to recover the Great Xiongnu and no longer let the great kingdom created by their ancestors be controlled and humiliated by foreigners.

"Rush!"

When the word burst out of Maudun's mouth, 60,000 elite soldiers marched forward and rushed from the hillside to Haba's ranks. The sight of thousands of galloping horses and sonic shocks was something that Murda had never imagined or experienced.

When the 60,000 cavalry was about to collide with Haba's cavalry, they suddenly split into two forces, one to the west led by Meda, and the other to the east led by Maudun. This detachment, like a big pocket, loaded Haba's 40,000 cavalry in its entirety. After the encirclement was formed, the teams of Maudon and Meda did not attack or release arrows, but only surrounded the people inside. The two sides froze at once.

Maudun shouted

"The Hun warriors inside. The Haba next to you is the Yue Clan's spy, and I have ironclad evidence that he infiltrated our Great Huns. Even the third prince was the illegitimate son of him and the Yan family. He wanted to use the Yueshi people to be the Shan Yu of our Huns, so that the soldiers could monopolize our grassland without bloodshed. Lao Shan Yu was killed by him, but he blamed me, and then let you kill your own prince. Wolf ambition! You see that I am surrounded by brothers who used to fight side by side with the rest of you, and who have changed their ways. Brothers, do not let our blood stain our own scimitars. ”

Mao Dun's impassioned speech moved everyone present. The matter in front of him was obvious, and it must have been that the 30,000 people who had surrendered believed the words of Prince Maudun, so they sided with Maudun. And he was surrounded, and he would die anyway, so it was better to listen to the prince. At this time, Haba can be said to have rebelled against his relatives, seeing that the army's heart was shaken, and the general trend had gone.

"Maudun! It doesn't matter if you slander me! How can you doubt the pure bloodline of the third prince?! When I pursued you, the third prince was already preparing to ascend the throne, and now I am afraid that the enthronement ceremony has already been completed. The third prince is destined to return, in fact, you can discredit it with just a few words! You said that the third prince was an illegitimate child, but is there any evidence?! ”

Murda took the conversation and said

"Haba, I won't talk about the third prince first. Let's talk about you, are you the prince of the Yue clan worshipping Mang? I have your seal here, and I have seen you meet with my own eyes in the secret room under your tent, can you still rely on it? Of course, I still have the head of Humi Linghou! ”

With that, Murda showed the head to the crowd. Haba looked stunned, how could this Murda know everything!

"Haba. No, it should be called Baiman. You are trying to steal the beams and change the pillars, use your own son as the Huns, and try to destroy the Huns' country and destroy the Huns' species. You think that in this way, you can win the favor of the king of the Yue clan and become the king of the Yue clan in the future. But you will be disappointed, your own brother, the second prince Zang Song has ascended the throne, Zang Song has submitted his credentials to the Xiongnu after ascending the throne, the two countries will never surrender to each other, and return the Jinren. ”

Mo Da pointed to the golden people around Mo and showed the national letter given to him by Zang Song in public. Go on

"The Yue Clan originally had no intention of invading the Xiongnu, that is, the Marquis of Xiu Mi Ling conspired with you to encroach on the territory of the Xiongnu, and now the King of the Crescent Moon Clan has killed the Marquis of Xiu Mi Ling to set the record straight, what else do you have to say! I have in my hand the edict of the old Yueshi king to let Zang Song ascend the throne, and there is also the edict of the Xinyue clan king to capture you back to the Yueshi clan. Baimang, I think you're busy in vain! ”

Haba's face turned pale, and every word Meda said seemed to pierce him in the heart, and every sentence made him feel terrible pain. Especially when he saw the edict, the Jin people and the head of the Marquis of Humiling, all his hopes were dashed.
