Chapter 36 opens
Li Tian stood in front of the tent and roared. 13579246810ggaax
In the tent, Qian Mingguang, who was about to draw a knife to kill himself, was frightened by his throat and fell to the ground.
Li Tian's eyes were red, and he looked down at the ring-headed knife at Qian Ming's bare feet, and the frightened look on his face.
At this time, Li Tian intuitively felt that there was a ball of anger in his heart about to gush out, he strode into the camp tent, picked up the war knife at Qian Mingguang's feet, and threw it into his arms, Li Tian lifted Qian Mingguang's shirt with one hand, panted, and scolded loudly.
"The knife is used to kill the enemy, not to aim at yourself, after joining the army for so long, do you still think that you are the son who can act arbitrarily in the past? Have you ever thought that it doesn't matter if you die, but what about Sun Ming, who can avenge him, his ...... Who should his old parents rely on to pay respects! ”
Listening to Li Tian's angry scolding, Qian Mingguang couldn't control himself anymore, hugged Li Tian's waist, and cried loudly.
"General..... Brother Sun...... Brother Sun is dead, I am a coward, I watched from the sidelines when he died, general, what should I do, what should I do! ”
Looking at Qian Mingguang, who was crying in his arms, Li Tian was much less angry, he choked and took a deep breath, and vigorously reached out and patted Qian Mingguang, who was crying in his arms.
"Don't cry, Sun Ming is dead, you are avenging him, now, take your war knife and follow me."
Qian Mingguang raised his tear-stained face and asked while crying.
"Where are you going?"
Li Tian gritted his teeth, and his eyes seemed to burst out with a cold murderous aura.
"We're going to kill, we're going to take revenge!"
........
At this time, in the camp where the soldiers of the Han army were stationed, everyone acted quickly, first Zhao Ponu set off with a thousand cavalry, and rushed to the place where Sun Ming died in battle, and within an hour, Zhao Ponu led people back, and they successfully snatched back the bodies of Sun Ming and the two Han scouts.
After the body was recovered, Huo Qubing no longer hesitated, and ordered the army to bypass the ambush laid by the Hun Evil King and others near Yanzhi Mountain, and advance along the mountain range on the north side of Yanzhi Mountain.
Yanzhi Mountain.
The total area reaches 680 square kilometers, the altitude is 298 meters, the main peak is 3948 meters, towering into the clouds, the peak accumulates the white snow all the year round, the forest and sea on the mountain are pine, the blue waves are endless, the ravines under the mountain are vertical and horizontal, the clear spring sect.
On the northernmost mountainside of Yanzhi Mountain, a mighty dragon that stretched for dozens of miles appeared here, and 10,000 Han troops drove the war horses beside them, climbed on this majestic Yanzhi Mountain, and marched towards an unknown distance.
The bright red Han flag was waving in the cold wind, and one soldier after another hurried silently, the biting cold wind blowing on everyone's silent faces.
Not long ago, Huo Quzhi had informed the whole army of his next battle plan, but unexpectedly, no one objected, and there was no way to oppose it.
Under the mountain is the 50,000 army led by the four kings of Hexi, most of which are cavalry, since the moment when the evil king and others led the army to arrive, it is marked that this Han army has fallen into a desperate situation, and there is the possibility of being surrounded and annihilated by the Huns anytime and anywhere.
In this desperate situation in front of him, crossing the Yanzhi Mountain and raiding the rear of the Hun Evil King and others has become the only hope of survival.
The soldiers of the Han army are brave, but even they do not have the courage to fight with five times the enemy in the field, although everyone understands that even if they successfully raid Xicheng and lay down the lair of the evil king, they will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by the main force of the Huns after that, but ....... So what?
Horse leather shroud, loyal and strong!
Although nine deaths, I have no regrets!
From the first time they set foot on the land of Hexi, everyone was ready for everything.
After a three-hour long journey, 10,000 Han cavalry finally succeeded in crossing the Yanzhi Mountain under the leadership of Huo Quzhi, and at this time, his enemies, the Hun Evil King and the Hun Tu King, were still completely ignorant of this, and were leading their Hun cavalry to find their traces near the Yanzhi Mountain.
Crossing the Yanzhi Mountain also means that the Han army has completely entered the hinterland of Hexi.
Xicheng, the lair of the Hun Evil King and the Hutu King, is about 1,200 miles away from here, and there are many Xiongnu tribes along the way, if you want to successfully reach your destination....... There is only one way to fight, all the way to the west, all the way to Xicheng!
.........
After the army crossed the Yanzhi Mountain, facing the endless vast grassland in front of them, Huo Quai, who was standing on the wind-chasing horse, issued a military order, "The whole army does not rest, marches all the way, and rushes thousands of miles with the general, and goes straight to the Xicheng fortress!" ”
"No!"
As soon as Huo Quai's military order, 10,000 Han soldiers rode their horsewhips at the same time, like a swept flood beast, rushing into the distance non-stop.
In the last column of the army, Qian Mingguang, who was teary-eyed, cried on horseback, waved the horse whip in his hand, and followed the army forward, and on his horse was carrying a cold corpse.
Sun Ming's head had been stitched up, and his blood-covered face had been wiped clean, making him look like he was asleep.
Looking at Sun Ming, who had nothing in front of him, Qian Mingguang burst into tears and kept calling his name softly, but no matter what he called, his eldest brother Sun seemed to have fallen into the deepest sleep and couldn't wake up.
Qian Mingguang's liver and intestines were broken, and a painful wail resounded at the back of the army, and the horse whip in his hand also beat the war horse under his crotch fiercely, venting the pain in his heart.
This scene all fell into Li Tian's eyes.
Holding back the grief and indignation in his heart, Li Tian led the army to continue to advance, and the horsewhip in his hand was also like Qian Mingguang, pumping very hard.
Sun Ming went....... Whose turn should it be next, how many of these 10,000 elite riders can return to Chang'an alive?
Sun Ming's death in battle is like a curtain slowly opening on the stage, and everything is about to appear.
This whole day, Huo Qubing did not order the soldiers to rest, marching with all their might, the grassland, the land, the river, all left their marching figures, the Hun tribe along the way Huo Qubing ignored it, only after seeing a small force of Hun cavalry, he ordered the army under his command to rush up, now time is life for Huo Quai, he has to rush to Xicheng as quickly as possible, while the four kings of Hexi have not yet reacted, he has been full of results, victory and return to the division.
But this was destined to be impossible, because in the afternoon of the same day, the four kings of Hexi had already learned that Huo Qubing led his army over Yanzhi Mountain and did not know where to go.
When he learned the news that Huo Quai's army had disappeared, the evil king of Hun was shocked into a cold sweat, just because of the topographic map of Hexi placed in front of him.
Huo Qubing knew that his army was pressing, but instead of choosing to withdraw from Hexi, he crossed the Yanzhi Mountain,...... The creepy Evil King asked in his heart, why did he climb over Yanzhi Mountain? Where is he going?
There are only two answers, first, in order to get rid of himself, he plans to fight a roundabout battle with himself, cross the Yanzhi Mountain to raid the Xiongnu tribes in the rear, attract himself to lead the army to rush, and then he is taking the opportunity to escape.
If Huo Qubing really did this, then the Evil King would still be shocked into a cold sweat, as long as he sprinkled scouts for hundreds of miles near Yanzhi Mountain, then Huo Quzhi's whereabouts would soon be exposed, and at that time he would lead a large army to surround Huo Quzhi.
Therefore, what really scared the Hun Evil King was that Huo Qubing did not have the idea of fighting a roundabout war with himself, the Hun Evil King was afraid, he was afraid that after Huo Qubing led the army over the Yanzhi Mountain, he would advance all the way to the north, because thousands of miles away in that direction was his base camp, Xicheng, his relatives and family, including the materials accumulated over the years, were stored in Xicheng, and it can be said that the Hun Evil King's net worth was left in his base camp.
And at this moment, as he led the army away, there were only less than 2,000 guards in Xicheng, if Huo Qubing really made up his mind to attack Xicheng, Xicheng would be lost, and his relatives and dependents would inevitably become prisoners of the Han army.
Fortunately, two hundred miles southeast of Xicheng, there is still a main force of about 15,000 Xiongnu people, which makes the Hun Evil King a little relieved.
Because he couldn't find out Huo Quai's whereabouts for the time being, the evil king of Hun ordered the three kings of Zhilan Lu Huxiu to slaughter the three kings, and led an army of 10,000 to Xicheng to rush to Xicheng in case of accidents, while he led the 45,000 soldiers to search for the traces of the Han army along a radius of 100 miles near Yanzhi Mountain.
The evil king is destined to be disappointed, because Huo Qubing will not be so stupid, he knows that his current strength is not able to start a face-to-face battle with the elite soldiers in the hands of the four kings of Hexi, so he chose Xicheng and chose to attack his lair, if this battle is won, all Hexi will fall into the hands of the Han.
.......
On the first day, after the Han army crossed the Yanzhi Mountain, there was no rest, and the continuous attack lasted for 30 hours, at noon on the second day, Huo Quai's illness ordered the army to repair, and rushed on horseback for 30 consecutive hours, although the Han soldiers were very tired, but no one was left behind, and in these 30 hours, they marched for a total of more than 300 miles, which is not a myth, which is due to the training of these two years.
The 10,000 troops led by the three kings of Zhelan, Luhu, and Xiutu were all pulled far behind by them.
At noon, Huo Qubing only let the soldiers rest for an hour, and after eating enough, the whole army set off again, this time, they only ran for more than 60 miles, and Huo Qubing let the soldiers rest.
All this is a real rest, Huo Quzhi asked the soldiers to rest in place for two hours, and then set off again.
This place is a grassland with abundant water and grass, there are no cattle, sheep and herdsmen nearby, only the soldiers of the Han army, everyone is either lying on the grass and sleeping, or sitting on the ground eating dry food one bite by bite, and the horses are taken to the nearby river to drink, and the 10,000 soldiers can finally rest for a while.
Three miles away from the grassland, there was a small hillside, on which black smoke curled, accompanied by the cry of a man.
