Another three days passed, and in the past three days, Ao Lie used thunderous means to once again wipe out the small tribes of the five Huns, slaughtered all the Huns in the tribe, and plundered all the supplies. In just six days, there have been eight Hun tribes, which have disappeared from people's sight forever.

The Huns are not fools, Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan have not been able to spread the news of who won and who lost for a long time, which has long aroused the suspicion of the leaders of the various tribes, and they have sent envoys to the two tribes to inquire about the news.

Some of the leaders of the Huns, under the leadership of Youxian Wang Qubei, began to inspect the desert, and found that eight tribes were wiped out in silence.

Two-thirds of the leaders in the desert rushed to the tribe with their personal guards, and a series of things were really a bit strange, and they had to be cautious. However, one-third of the tribal leaders, in the case of ill-informed information, have not yet received the news of the extermination of the eight tribes, so they think that the de-Bei has ulterior motives, and he intends to take advantage of the fact that the whereabouts of Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan are unknown, and in one fell swoop, they all stay in their tribes and do not follow the order of the de-ebb.

With the help of the Shadow Members, Ao Lie quickly mastered the movements of the Huns, so Ao Lie began to divide his troops again, and let Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Xu Chu each lead an army, taking advantage of the Huns to discuss the military situation in the Bei tribe, when the tribal soldiers were leaderless, they conquered four medium-sized tribes again in one day like lightning. All the supplies were taken back to replenish the military.

It was not until Ao Lie defeated the twelve Hun tribes that the figure of the Han army was noticed by the grazing Huns. Immediately, the news of the defeat and death of Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan was also spread, counting these two people, there have been fourteen tribes that have been wiped out by the Han army led by Ao Lie, this number is close to half of the number of Hun tribes.

Under the fury, Qubei gathered all the soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu tribes, raised a total of 100,000 horses, and prepared for a decisive battle with the Han army. These 100,000 soldiers. It can be said that the Huns are the most rebellious, and almost all the young adults who are suitable for the battlefield have been pulled over by him. 100,000 horses, under the leadership of Qubei and more than a dozen tribal leaders, rushed to the wolf Juxu Mountain, intending to fight to the death with the Han army.

The movements of the Huns. Naturally, they couldn't hide the pervasive shadow, and they informed Ao Lie of the news as soon as possible. And under the leadership of Li Ru, who has been hiding in the shadows. All of them were recovered into the defense at the foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and they converged with Ao Lie. The decisive battle is imminent, and there is no point in the Shadow members wandering outside, as part of the Han army, Li Ru will lead them to participate in this decisive battle as the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty. The number of members of this part of the Shadow is not large. There are only more than 300 people, but they can be called elite. They were dressed in different clothes, and some even wore Hun clothes, after returning to the army. They immediately took off their various clothes and changed into the armor and equipment of the Han army.

Time passed day by day, and another two days slipped away before everyone's eyes. After this period of recovery, the wounded soldiers in the Han army have also recovered a lot, they were originally only slightly injured, after this period of cultivation and treatment, even if they are not recovering as before, but there is absolutely no problem on the battlefield.

At the same time, two days later, Qubei led the 100,000 Xiongnu army to finally arrive at the foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and after a short rest, Qubei launched a fierce attack on the Han army's fortifications. Under the pressure brought by the Han army, the leaders of various tribes temporarily put aside their selfishness, obeyed the dispatch of Qubei, and sent their soldiers and horses one after another as the vanguard troops to rush towards the Han army.

Since this time, the Han army has already built a strong defensive line, which consists of several parts. The part closest to the Han army is an earthen wall one zhang high and two feet back, which can effectively prevent the impact of the Hun cavalry and isolate the Huns, who are mainly cavalry, from the earthen wall, unless the Huns are willing to abandon their horses and meet the battle on foot. On the earthen wall, there were also hundreds of lookouts with a caliber of half a foot, through which the Han army could fire crossbow arrows outward, causing effective casualties to the Huns. Behind the earthen wall was a two-tiered platform on which the Han army could stand, connected by a gentle slope that allowed the Han army to advance and retreat freely between the camp and the earthen wall. At the top of the earthen wall is another layer of platform that has been tamped, this platform is the most solid and widest, and eighty red-clothed ballistas are neatly placed on it, and the bloodthirsty cold light has been aimed at the space within seven hundred steps in front of the earthen wall.

Between ten and fifty paces beyond the earthen wall was the second part of the Han army's defense. This part is composed of countless horse rejection piles and tripping horse ropes, which are also equipped with horse traps hidden in the ground, used to sprain the hooves of the Huns, only the Han army can distinguish where is the safety zone, where the hidden danger, if the Huns rush to come, it must be the end of the people on their backs.

Farther away, is the third component of the defense, within a distance of fifty to a hundred paces, the Han army dug a lot of traps here more than a foot deep, the bottom of the trap is inserted from the Xiongnu captives captured from the saber, once a Hun cavalry falls into the trap, it must be the end of the people and horses being pierced by the upside-down saber into a hornet's nest.

If it weren't for the fact that the time was a little rushed, the Han army could have arranged more complete fortifications, but such a defense in front of them was enough! Standing behind the earthen wall, Ao Lie, who observed the movement of the Hun cavalry through the lookout, saw that when the Huns attacked under the order of Qubei, the corners of his mouth brought a grim smile, and slowly gave an order to Xu Shu at the top of the earthen wall: "Let them taste the power of the red-clothed ballista first." ”

Xu Shu smiled knowingly, and then commanded eight hundred ballista gunners and started the first confrontation of this decisive battle! Eighty red-coated ballistas fired at the same time, and four hundred crossbow bolts of different sizes, with strong penetrating force, condescendingly shot at the Hun cavalry six hundred paces away.

Although the number of four hundred crossbow arrows is not much, but the momentum is amazing, each crossbow arrow pierces the air, bringing out a burst of wind-breaking sound, relying on the strength of the machine, these crossbow arrows actually do what only Ao Lie can do - break the wind! The roaring crossbow arrows made the charging Hun cavalry shocked, in the face of such a powerful, earth-shattering crossbow, who would dare to resist with the flesh? A row of Hun cavalry rushing to the front hurriedly gathered their horses, trying to turn around and avoid the terrifying crossbows. But they wanted to stop, but the people behind them failed to react in time, and were still galloping wildly, so the cavalry that was sprinting behind slammed into their companions who had slowed down in front, which led to a series of chain reactions, and several neat rows of Hun cavalry were in chaos.

Before more Hun cavalry could react, four hundred crossbows had already come to the front of them! A series of popping sounds of flesh being pierced, accompanied by the clicking sound of broken bones, and the screams of the Huns because of pain, as well as the mournful screams of the war horses after being pierced, suddenly resounded, and the four hundred strong crossbows brought huge damage to the Hun cavalry, and the blood splashed all over the sky, staining the yellow sand under their feet. This round of artillery bombardment alone plunged nearly 2,000 Hun cavalry into eternal darkness. What frightened the Huns was far more than the loss of 2,000 people, but the huge deterrent power of the red-clothed ballista, and in the face of such a ballista, no Hun was confident that they could survive its attack.

The Huns in the rear looked at the scene in front of them dumbfounded, and muttered: "No wonder Shan Yu and King Zuo Xian disappeared at the same time, it turns out that the Han army actually has such a killing weapon, this, it's incredible, how did the Han people come up with this thing?" The rest of the dozen or so leaders also looked at each other, they couldn't understand at all, what principle was used to make such a powerful ballista, it was almost the same as the rumored divine weapon!

At the same time of shock, the Huns also realized that they must completely eliminate this Han army, otherwise, the Huns will be exterminated and completely withdraw from the stage of history. Therefore, after the shock, more Hun cavalry were thrown into the battlefield by their respective leaders, lined up in a loose skirmish, and continued to attack the fortifications of the Han army. In the eyes of the Hun leaders, no matter how powerful the ballista is, it can only take into account one direction, and pulling the straggler line can effectively prevent the possibility of being hit by the ballista.

The Hun cavalry team in the chaos in front had also broken free from the short-term chaos, rearranged the queue, echoed the front and rear of the straggler line behind, and launched a charge again.

Xu Shu raised his right hand for the second time, and then fell heavily. Eighty red-clothed ballistas once again unleashed their might, and another four hundred powerful crossbows shot out. It's just that this time is different from just now, because the formation of the Huns was dense just now, the order given by Xu Shu was to shoot, and this time, the order given by Xu Shu was scattering. Therefore, the 400 crossbow arrows were divided into three directions, and the covering strikes were carried out in the left, center, and right directions at the same time.

There was another burst of people on their backs, another sound mixed with screams and screams filled the ears, and another 2,000 or so Hun cavalry was killed by red-coated ballistas. In front of the red-clothed ballistas, these Hun cavalry with only leather armor were not much stronger than the thin Youzhou paper, and they were broken when they were stabbed.
