In less than half a day, the advance of Maudun had reached the vicinity of the first Hun tribe on the south bank of the Miskel River, Hasakah. Maudon called the general who led the army over and said

"Let the army be divided into three teams, 1,000 men from the left army, 3,000 from the middle army, and 1,000 from the right army. It is approaching in three directions: northwest and south. Waiting for my order, I heard the sound of the horn, and I led the Chinese army to assault. Hear the second trumpet again, and the whole army will attack! ”

The armies were ordered, and the three-way army was like three sharp swords straight into the Hasaka garrison. Seeing that the arrangements were in place, Mao Dun waved the Chinese army, and three thousand war horses went straight to the Hun Hasaka tribe. can

Strangely, the charge along the way did not encounter any obstacles, not even a bow and arrow flew head-on. These Donghu soldiers were worried about being ambushed, so they slowed down the speed of the attack. rushed to the east gate of the tribe station, there was still not a single Hun soldier, but a large group of Hun women and children stood at the door, led by the leader of the Hasaka tribe, Dalihun.

Seeing that the Donghu cavalry had arrived, Darihun hurriedly waved his hand to the band behind him, and immediately the drums rang out in unison. This move confused the Donghu people, who thought that there was going to be a fierce battle, how did they replace it with a welcoming ceremony with loud drums?

Darihun trotted all the way to Maudun's horse, and bowed deeply with his right hand on his chest. Said

"The Hasakah tribe of thousands of households, Dalihun, paid a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince. All of us Hasakah have been looking forward to your arrival day and night, and now that you have come with the army of Donghu to save us from the atrocities of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, we have already prepared the freshest cattle and sheep and the best mare's milk wine to entertain the heroes! I have gathered together the food of the whole clan and prepared to supply your army. In addition, I have gathered together eight hundred men of the best men of my people for the prince's drive, and they are now waiting for your orders at the west gate. ”

After saying that, Dalihun waved his hand again, and more than a hundred young girls walked out behind him, each holding a number of skins full of mare's milk wine, and handed them to the soldiers behind Maudun. Only then did the Donghu soldiers suddenly realize that the Hasaka tribe regarded them as saviors. They easily took down a Xiongnu tribe without bloodshed, and it seems that the name of this Maodun is really loud. Every Donghu soldier had a savior mentality in his heart, and one by one he marched into the Hasakah tribe station. In order to maintain the aura of his savior, Qiu did not commit any crimes everywhere he went.

When he got out of the west gate of the Hasaka garrison, he saw 800 Hun cavalry lined up to greet him. Mao Dun didn't say a word, and let General Hasaka, who took the lead, lead the team to the front to open the way. He also asked the rangers to hurry to report the victory to Liu'an, and he himself led his team to advance to the next tribe station.

Liu An received the good news, and at first he couldn't believe that this Mao Dun actually had such a big appeal. Unexpectedly, he took down the brave and good Hasaka without any effort. She hurried to lead the main force to the Hasakah garrison, and sure enough, it was just as Maudon had described. Dalihun thousands of households went out accordingly, and also prepared a lot of food and mare's milk wine. Liu An was overjoyed, but he was worried that the Huns were cheating. She left 500 Donghu soldiers under surveillance at Hasaka, and she led her brigade closely behind Maudun's forward troops, but always kept a distance.

Within a day, Maudun and his forward cavalry took six Hun tribes on the south bank of the Miskel River one after another. Not only did all the tribes surrender, but they also gathered their knights to march with Maudun, and Maudun's strength expanded from the original 5,000 to more than 10,000. Liu An had always been worried about the deception of these surrendered tribes, and arranged for 500 Donghu soldiers to be stationed in each tribe. The journey was surprisingly smooth, and although most of the Donghu soldiers had been carried away by the victory, Liu An remained vigilant. Even so, Mao Dun was able to take down these Xiongnu tribes without bloodshed, and Liu An was happy to sit back and enjoy it.

After Maudun had subdued the last tribe on the south bank of the Miskel River, Liu An led a large army to join him, and the Donghu army was stationed on the south bank of the river. Eyeing the tiger, ready to cross the river at any time to attack the camp set up by King Zuo Xian on the north bank of the river. Liu An called Mao Dun and Mo Liang to the horse and said

"The prince is fortunate. Along the way, thanks to the prestige of the prince, he subdued the seven departments of Henan, and there were 5,000 more soldiers and horses. It is worth celebrating, and I have already reported to King Donghu for your credit. Now across the river is the camp of King Zuoxian, and it is reported that the camp is garrisoned by 10,000 elite horsemen of King Zuoxian. It's the season when the Miskel River is rising, and if he forcibly crosses the river to attack, he will definitely be attacked by King Zuoxian, what strategy does the prince have? ”

Maudun had already made up his mind and replied

"Princess, I don't think I'll care about the 10,000 people of King Zuo Xian on the other side of the river. I would like to ask for an order to lead my 10,000 vanguards to cross the Miskel River from the lower reaches of the river to attack the six Hun tribes on the south bank of the Naqi River. This allows you to avoid the rushing waters of the upper Misquale River and cross the river with ease. He can also take down these tribes and further weaken the strength of King Zuoxian. After I take these tribes, I will launch a general attack from the northeast, and you will lead the main force to cross the river while the chaos is in chaos, and we can annihilate King Zuo Xian in one fell swoop by attacking from both sides. What do you think? ”

Princess Liu'an felt that it made sense. But after thinking about it, now there are 10,000 people in Mao Dun's hands plus the surrendered troops, and if he subdues the various tribes on the south bank of the Naqi River, he will be able to have 15,000 men and horses. At that time, it was really a big tail. If he had rebelled against the water at that time and joined forces with King Zuoxian, not only would the forward force of 5,000 men bury the enemy, but even his main force might not be able to be saved. Liu An had an idea and gave such an order to Mao Dun

"Prince, you will now go and attack the Xiongnu tribes on the south bank of the Naqi River. The combined strength of those tribes is only 5,000 people, not to mention that they are scattered and stationed, with your prince's bravery, there should be no need to bring 10,000 people. You see"

Maudun understood what Liu An meant, and she wanted to reduce her forces. So he said

"What the princess said is reasonable, then I will lead the Hun warriors of the seven tribes on the south bank of Miskel who surrendered, and the original five thousand Donghu cavalry will be returned to the princess's command."

Liu An thought, this is not bad, let the Huns fight the Huns, and reap the benefits of the fishermen himself, but he is not very relieved, for fear that Mao Dun will fight back. So he said to Mao Dun with a pleasant face

"Prince, this time I will do as you say. It turned out that the 5,000 vanguards were led by the adjutant general Ashina Simo, and let them follow behind your Hun soldiers, so that if anything happened to the prince, they could be rescued immediately. ”

Mao Dun knew Liu An's mind very well, this Ashina Simo was Liu An's henchman, not so much assistance as surveillance. But that's part of their plan, so they readily agreed.

Mao Dun led 5,000 Huns to the north bank of the Miskel River, and 5,000 Donghu soldiers followed from afar. Despite this, Mao Dun was still very excited in his heart, he, the Hun prince, could finally lead his Hun cavalry to gallop across the country!

Liu An fell for Mo Liang's plan. Now they are carrying their own soldiers, and they can be said to be united in their hearts and minds. It turned out that the seven tribes on the south bank of the Miskel River were all surrendered by fraud, in order to temporarily avoid the edge of Donghu, first, to paralyze the enemy, second, to concentrate their forces in a dignified manner, and most importantly, to lead the Xiongnu soldiers in the name of Maodun.

Of course, all this was discussed by Moda and King Zuoxian, and then conveyed it to the heads of thousands of households of each tribe respectively, so that they could act according to the plan. Their expedition to the Xiongnu tribes on the south bank of the Naqi River was also to continue to gather their forces and at the same time stay away from the army of Liu'an.

Sure enough, as expected, the Hun tribes of the Huns surrendered wherever the Maodun army went. Within two days, all the tribes on the south bank of the Naqi River took refuge under the tent of Mao Dun, plus the Xiongnu soldiers who surrendered before, and now Mao Dun has 10,000 elite Hun cavalry in his hands. At this time, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Mao Dun's mouth, and this smile was full of murderous aura at the same time.

Besides, Ashina Simo, who monitored Mao Dun, saw Mao Dun's strict implementation of Liu'an's military orders, and the Hun troops who surrendered along the way were entertained with wine and meat, so he had already relaxed his vigilance. Don't you know that the saber that flashes with cold light has been put on his neck, just waiting to click for the rest of his life, so that his body will be in a different place.

Liu An received Ashina Simo's report, and Zhilu Dao was also calm on the side of the Naqi River, and he was very satisfied. She didn't expect that this westward expedition against the Xiongnu would go so smoothly, and immediately ordered Mao Dun to lead 10,000 cavalry from the northeast to kill the camp of King Zuoxian.

Mao Dun received the order to run non-stop, with 10,000 strong troops all the way, Liu An immediately ordered the whole army to cross the river!

Strange to say, usually the water of the Miskel River is turbulent in this month, but I didn't expect that the amount of water this year is not large, and the cavalry can easily flow across the river. After a while, the main forces of Donghu all crossed the Misker River. Liu An thought to himself, God helped me.

At this time, Liu An was thinking about his own plan in his heart, if the Xiongnu were defeated by King Zuo Xian in this expedition, he would take all his land for himself. He didn't go back to Donghu, so he set himself up as the king on the chassis of King Zuoxian. For many years, she has endured the revenge of killing her father, but there is no place for herself. Now with her prestige in this army of 30,000, plus the land and subordinates of King Zuo Xian, she has the strength to dominate one side. When the foundation is stable, we will conquer the east and the west to expand the territory. With these 30,000 experienced veterans and conquered Hun cavalry, it is certain to kill the king of Donghu.

In fact, she still values Maudun, Moda and Mo Liang very much in her heart. If the three of them can prove their loyalty this time, then Liu An really has a few more right-hand men.

Liu An couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and looked back and forth at every conquered Xiongnu tribe on the map. The reason why she left 500 soldiers in each tribe was because she had already regarded these tribes as her own, so she took charge of them as soon as possible. The more Liu An looked at it, the more excited he became, thinking about his dream of being the queen of Donghu.

Suddenly, a terrible thought crossed her mind: if every tribe had five hundred men left, then those who had left behind the guards would not be able to go to war. Those thirteen tribes had already diverted her and lost 6,500 cavalry. In order to spy on Maudun, another 5,000 men were sent, so wouldn't she have more than 18,000 cavalry left. And the two battalions of King Zuo Xian's north and south combined have 20,000 cavalry, isn't he at a disadvantage!

Liu An shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly asked the herald to give the order: stop advancing and retreat to the south bank of the Miskel River!

It's too late. At this time, Liu An had completely fallen into the huge trap of Mo Liang and Mo Da. The Donghu soldiers who remained in the Xiongnu tribe had already been killed by the Xiongnu people in their sleep. The 5,000 forward troops who monitored Maudun were also shot into hedgehogs by Maudun's 10,000 elite cavalry. The spearhead of Mao Dun, who is now killed from the northeast, is not King Zuoxian's camp at all, but her princess Liu'an's Chinese army!

I saw the 20,000 cavalry of King Zuo Xian and the 10,000 cavalry of Mao Dun not far away, and the 18,000 people who rushed to Liu'an from left and right. Liu An hurriedly commanded the army to cross the river, and the Donghu cavalry rushed to the other side of the river like a tide.

Just when half of the army was already in the river, suddenly a large amount of water rushed down from the upper reaches of the Miskel River! The big wave is more than a meter high!

It turned out that Moda commanded the Huns to block the upper reaches with earthen bags, and the water that had been accumulated for many days poured down, like thousands of horses galloping, and in an instant, the Donghu cavalry who were crossing the river was gone. The so-called water and fire are ruthless, and the power of nature is ten thousand times stronger than manpower!

In the face of the surging river, it will definitely not be able to cross. There is a great river in front, and there are pursuers in the back. At this time, Liu An had to take the remaining 8,000 remnants to arrange defense. Fortunately, these soldiers were all experienced in battle, and they did not panic too much in the face of difficulties, and they surrounded their horses in a circle. Make a wall out of horses, prepare bows and arrows and wait for the onslaught of the Huns. Liu An also let go, she has also faced many such crises for Donghu, and it is a big deal to be a real Donghu hero who died on the battlefield.

The Horse Leather Shroud is the best funeral for a general!

Liu An and her Donghu veterans are determined to die.

Strangely, the Huns did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but surrounded them and watched them from afar. Liu An: They finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and Liu An instructed his subordinates

"To prevent the Huns from attacking at night tonight. The flood is only temporary, and it won't take a day for the Misker River behind us to calm down. As long as we hold on for one day, we can break through tomorrow night. Tell the brothers to cheer up. ”

After getting the princess's order, everyone did not dare to slack off, and they all stared at the dark night with big eyes, for fear that a group of Hun soldiers would suddenly rush out of somewhere.

After waiting for half the night, there was still no movement, and the Donghu soldiers, who had been fighting for a day, were extremely tired, and many people couldn't stay up and fell asleep. Liu An personally carried a knife and killed a few people who had fallen asleep, which woke everyone up. As soon as he woke up for a while, a large light of torches suddenly appeared in the northwest direction, and Liu An estimated that there were thousands of torches. The torches were getting closer and closer with shouts. Liu An shouted

"It's broken! It's really a night attack! Bow and arrow ready! Shoot again when you get closer! ”

Donghu Bing stared intently in the direction of the torches. But in a moment all the torches were extinguished, and the shouts were gone. After waiting for a while, it was still dark night in front of me, and I didn't see a single Hun man's hair.

After waiting for another half an hour, the Donghu soldiers couldn't hold it anymore, and many of them fell asleep leaning on their horses. Before he could rest for a while, the northeast direction shouted again, and the torches were bright.

The Donghu soldiers hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows and prepared to meet the enemy. After a while, the torches and shouts died down again. This was repeated more than a dozen times, and the Donghu soldiers, who were already physically and mentally exhausted, staggered one by one, and had a tendency to completely collapse.

In fact, this was Murda's bad idea, and there were only 5,000 Hun soldiers shouting with torches on the opposite side, and they were divided into five teams to shout in turn, just to completely destroy the remaining energy of the Eastern Hu soldiers. The rest of the Hun soldiers are all recuperating in place, waiting for tomorrow to annihilate the remnants of Donghu in Liu'an.

In this way, he tossed until the sky was hazy, and the eight thousand remnants of Donghu couldn't open their eyes. At the moment when the huge morning sun popped up from the distant mountains, 30,000 Hun cavalry had already appeared on the horizon!

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves woke up the sleeping earth, and the Huns with their backs to the rising sun left a huge shadow on the ground. Rushing to the front was none other than the Xiongnu prince Maodun.

He shot arrows one after another while charging, and the Hun soldiers behind him also shot arrows, forming a fast-moving arrow array. Each salvo would form a huge rain of arrows, and the exhausted Donghu soldiers on the opposite side were harvested and fell to the ground like wheat, leaving behind pieces of corpses. When the Hun cavalry rushed over, there were only horses and soldiers left on Donghu's side, who shot like hedgehogs.

The main force of 30,000 Donghu was annihilated so far.
