In the sixth year of the Great Qin New Calendar, Xia (June 201 BC).

With the opening of the fierce war between Qin and Hungary, Chu and Hungary, the Qin, Chu, and Xiongnu -- the three powerful Shili groups that dominated one side opened the prelude to a new round of hegemony in the form of a melee.

New Three Kingdoms.

If we can, we will compare Qin, Chu, and Hungary to three countries, although, in terms of political system, only the Qin State under Li Yuan's rule has truly achieved the unity of government decrees, and Xiang Yu's governance of the counties and counties in the Chu State is basically maintained on the basis of autonomy, which is a transition period from slavery to feudalism.

The Xiongnu side of Zuihou was a loose alliance of primitive tribes, and its strength came from only one person: the ruthless and superior military talent of the Great Shan Yu Maoton.

A person's vision will change depending on the goal.

Once, Xiang Yu's goal in life was to defeat the Qin State, and then return to his hometown in brocade clothes, showing off his exploits in front of his hometown fathers, so that the eyes of those young girls who were still young and young were bright, and their veins were full of affection.

This wish was fulfilled when Guanzhong was captured and the kings were divided, and Xiang Yu immediately built a palace building in Pengcheng to imitate the behavior of the first emperor.

At this time, Xiang Yu was full of ambition, and felt that all the goals of his life had been achieved, and the next thing was to lie on the bed and enjoy it. In the four-year battle for hegemony between Chu and Han, Xiang Yu's defeat actually came from this, the source was that he lost his goal and lost the motivation to move forward, compared with Liu Bang, who has always been eager to defeat Xiang Yu and surpass Xiang Yu, is full of motivation and has no intention of relaxing at all.

Now, the Qin State has risen rapidly after its fall, and the pressure on Xiang Yu from Li Yuan, a rising star, is so great, if it is nothing to defeat Liu Bang, Shen Yang, Sima Mao and the like, then this year's Hexi Battle completely shocked the arrogant Xiang Yu.

What is Hero?

Reign supreme in one nest. What is it?

Only by defeating the opponent on the battlefield of foreign races and foreign countries can he be regarded as a real hero, Li Yuan's role model Liliang made Xiang Yu find a new goal again after losing himself.

The Chu army was in a difficult situation.

Xiang Yu believed that the Huns were not comfortable either.

From Hexi to Haidong, on the border of the Xiongnu, the Qin State and the Chu State were like two small tigers with sharp teeth open, although the overall strength was not as good as the Xiongnu cavalry who was in the strongest period and was accustomed to fighting on the grassland, but on the local battlefield. As long as the Chu army can ensure the supply of baggage and weapons and war horses, it is entirely possible to hold the fertile land of Youyan.

For Xiang Yu's insistence, although there are different opinions within the generals of the Chu army, however, this kind of objection is at most like Zhou Lan's own mention, and when it comes to the implementation level, the Chu army only obeys Xiang Yu's orders, which is also an important aspect of the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Chu army after several civil strife.

Only the overlord Xiang Yu. is the well-deserved number one person in the Chu State, and no one else can regret his position.

Unlike the Qin State, which entered a feudal society and was unified by the state, Maodun, the Xiongnu Dadanyu, sounded prominent. However, its power still cannot be compared with that of the emperor of Qin, and those steppe tribes who were submissive when they met the alliance will have a different mentality after they return.

Analyze in this sense. If the Huns wanted to launch a large-scale war, the preparation time was much longer than that of Qin and Chu, and at the same time. Due to the different ideas and purposes of each department, it is easy to say that if the military operation is victorious, if it loses once, the prestige of Maudun will plummet, which is also the biggest weakness within the Xiongnu.

Since the beginning of June, the Xiongnu royal court has moved from the north of the desert to the south, it has been more than ten days, after Mao Dun issued a conscription order to the various departments, the calm steppe, once again resounded the sharp whistling sound of the dwarf.

Wuhuan Mountain.

The provisional royal court of the Xiongnu.

Dadan Yu Maodun is dispatching troops for the Pochu war, and Qiu Lijin, the king of Zuoxian, who was not effective in battle not long ago, sat in the corner with a gloomy expression, his troops have been blatantly absorbed by Maodun, and the next war, for him, has nothing to do with it.

Those who go against it die, and those who go along prosper.

The capable go up, and the mediocre go down.

The cruel competition for survival on the grassland is more in line with the natural law of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest.

Compared with the appearance of Da Shan Yu Mao Dun when he invaded Longxi two years ago, his body is thicker, which is mainly reflected in his body shape is wider than before, and the whipping marks on his face that he was whipped when he was young are also more hideous and terrifying, and at the same time, the beard under the lips and jaws is much stiffer, of course, it is inevitable that a few white whiskers are interspersed.

The same is true for beards, and the same is true for hair. The once strong and powerful body began to show the first symptoms of soreness, fatigue and muscle weakness after many rounds and injuries.

Mobei bitter cold.

The life expectancy of people is generally between thirty and forty years old, women are shorter, forty years old can be called an old woman, if a man can live to fifty years old, it is considered a long life, compared with the life expectancy of people in the Central Plains is about ten years longer, the Han King Liu Bang Zuihou was fifty three out of fifty when he died, if it is normal, he should be able to live to about sixty.

Generally.

In front of Li Yuan and Xiang Yu, two younger and more impactful opponents, Mao Dun is like a leader who is running hard, running with all his might, while always keeping an eye on the competitors from behind him.

"King Zuogu Li listened to the order, your troops detoured from Liaodong County to the side of the Chu army, there are two goals, one is to attack the baggage troops of the Chu army, and the other is to quickly move south to occupy Jixian County, as long as this big city is taken, the Chu army will collapse without a fight, along the way, use your brains more, think about how to make the contradiction between the Yan people and the Chu people sharpened, don't learn from Qiu Lijin's idiot, except for fighting hard, there is no ability." The cold voice of Maudun is like a big shark cruising in the depths of the North Sea in search of prey, making people feel a chill on their backs.

"Da Dan Yu rest assured, Su Bu must have come back for Da Dan Yu to take the head of the Chu chieftain, thinking that he was drowning." A tall and sturdy Hun man answered the order loudly.

The Xiongnu Da Dan is below, there are mainly four kings to form a power class, the left and right Xian Wang, the left and right Gu Li Wang, after the Zuo Xian King Qiu Lijin was dismissed, the Zuo Gu Li King Xu Buhun was fortunate to be entrusted by Mao Dun to dominate the scattered eastern tribes. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of Qiu Lijin's dismissal, the Su Bu clan, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally had a chance to turn over.

"Well, the rest of the generals, with many people who are good at arrows, move south to the Hunhe River with me, and surround the Chu army that broke through to the north bank." In Mao Ton's eyes, the fierce killing intent gradually appeared.

The Qin people are good at crossbows.

The Xiongnu were good at bows, which was an asymmetrical advantage between different ethnic groups, and the Qin people were able to use the crossbow as a sharp weapon to expel the Huns from the Hetao, and now, the Huns can also use bows and arrows to let the Chu people know that they know how powerful.

――。

June 21.

A thunderstorm struck Yuyang County in Yandi, and the war between the Xiongnu and Chu States, which had been facing each other for several days, immediately took a surprising change.

On the side of the Chu army.

Overlord Xiang Yu watched the heavy rain under the tent, and his face was excited, the Chu army is good at water, and fighting in the rain is also the strength of the Jiangdong disciples from the south.

"Come on, prepare boats, war horses and weapons, and the army will attack!" In the Chu camp, the low shouting made the Chu soldiers nervous.

"The king is going to fight back, hey, Hun barbarian, look where you run this time." A strong man of the Chu army drank the liquor in his skin, swallowed the half-cooked beef and mutton, and harvested it.

"Xue Gong, your department is just a flank force, what is the spirit, if you want to make meritorious service, it depends on the ability of the major general." Another general, General Chu Jun, said sarcastically.

"Haha, when you get to the battlefield, no one knows what will happen? When the time comes, maybe Xue will meet the Hun barbarians first. Chu General Xue Gong smiled disappreciatively.

"Let's go!"

Just when the generals of the Chu army were whispering, Xiang Yu put on a black and red cloak, and rode on the black cone horse in the rain.

Surprise and attack it unprepared.

Xiang Yu, who has average political ability, is amazed by his keen sense of smell in military affairs, on such a rainy day, there are no more than three people in this world who can think that the Chu army will rise up and take the initiative to attack.

Xiang Yu was the first.

The second person should be Li Yuan, who has a cheating device, thanks to the detailed records of historians of the past dynasties on the ability of Xiang Ji to command troops to fight.

As for the third person, he was very lucky and unlucky, that is, the Huns were big and single.

In fact, Mao Dun didn't really think that the Chu army would attack him on a rainy day, he just thought of a place with Xiang Yu, and took advantage of the lax defense of the Chu army to give a fatal blow.

The Hun cavalry roared across the vast steppe.

In summer, although the Huns who were not accustomed to water were annoyed by the heavy rainstorms, they also had an advantage in marching in the rain, that is, the sound of the rushing rain could naturally drown out the sound of horses' hooves.

The amount of water in the Hunhe River.

In one day and one night, from a trickle to a torrent, when they saw that all around were confused, the Hun cavalry immersed in excitement trekked hard in the waist-high water, and the tall war horse "Herod!" He hissed, but could not make the same clear sound as usual.

From time to time, a horse with slippery hooves lost its balance, and was swept up by the torrent along with the sergeant on its back, and lost its trace in the torrent.

At this time, neither the Hun cavalry nor the soldiers of the Chu army could have imagined that the real contest between them was already in front of them. (To be continued......)
