Chapter 118: The Battle of Hexi
Chapter 118: The Battle of Hexi
Emperor Star Chang'an.
A teleportation array for the expedition.
Different from the teleportation array used by the army for normal travel, the teleportation array used by the army is the responsibility of the military department and is not open to the public.
This can greatly prevent the exposure of the marching route, and it is necessary to do a good job of strict protection in the relevant matters of the military department.
The Xinghan army that set out this time gathered in front of the military headquarters teleportation array, and the number of people was so large that even an entire city built around the teleportation array could not accommodate these hundreds of millions of troops.
In front of the army, Huo Quzhi, who was dressed in imperial battle armor, stood at the forefront, and behind him were the other generals who went out this time and eight demon guards.
Lin Ran, who was wearing the mask of the Twelfth Town Demon Guard, stood with Wei Qing, who had changed into the mask of the Tenth Town Demon Guard.
"There is a big problem with the location of Yinshan, if I am King Zuoxian, I will definitely set up a heavy ambush in Yinshan." Wei Qing's voice sounded in Lin Ran's mind.
"I've taken the opportunity to convey the idea that what to do next depends on the doctor." Lin Ran also said to Wei Qing.
"This kid will inevitably be a little arrogant when he is a commander for the first time, I just hope he can accept my proposal." Wei Qing said with a sigh.
"Young people, you always have to go through experience. What's more, going to the sick is the champion of the Han Dynasty, and it can't be looked at by ordinary people. Lin Ran said with a smile.
"You're optimistic about him." Wei Qing found that Lin Ran was more and more appreciative of Huo Quai.
"Genius, always likable. What's more, you and I still have the fourth child here, even if we really go to Yinshan, we can retreat calmly. ”
Wei Qing nodded quietly, Lin Ran's words were true.
Looking up at Huo Quzhi, who was communicating with the formation master in charge of the teleportation array, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
"What is he talking about?"
As if he had heard Wei Qing's heart, Huo Quai's communication with the formation master also stopped.
The Formation Grandmaster left in a hurry, but Huo Qubing turned around and faced the soldiers of the army.
"The direction of the march has been temporarily changed, and the target galaxy Longxi."
Huo Quai's voice was steady and powerful, clearly spreading throughout the city and across the city walls, and falling into the ears of other soldiers outside the city.
"Longxi?" Wei Qing was startled, pondered for a moment, and looked suspicious.
"Is there anything wrong with Longxi?" Although Lin Ran has been fighting for several years, he is at most a beginner in the art of war, and he is a little stronger than a layman, and his strength is limited.
"Longxi is located in the left abdomen of the western part of the Xiongnu Seventy-two Galaxy, where there is the Xiongnu Holy Mountain Yanzhi Mountain, but because the interstellar position is deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu and there is no logistics line supply from our Han Dynasty, once the army falls into a protracted war, it is easy to face the dilemma of being trapped alive."
Fighting on the march is not something that your troops can win if they are strong, and there are many factors that are taken into account in every move. Grain and grass, transport supply lines, interstellar coordinates, and more.
War is an all-round confrontation between two countries, not just a confrontation of military strength.
"Then why did you make such a risky decision?" Lin Ran asked suspiciously.
"I'm not sure, maybe it's ......" Wei Qing thought of the Huns' combat methods for a long time, and vaguely sensed Huo Quai's thoughts.
"Fight for war!"
Just as Lin Ran was talking to Wei Qing, Huo Qu sent someone to call Lin Ran.
"Twelve, Huo Shuai, please come over." Huo Quai's personal guard saluted Lin Ran and said respectfully.
Lin Ran and Wei Qing glanced at each other, nodded and followed him to Huo Quai's body.
"Twelve, General Lin once said that you have magic skills to protect the army and reduce the load on the body of the teleportation array." Lin Ran instantly thought of what he had told Huo Qubing during the previous casual conversation.
"Yes, but the scope of my spells covers up to 100 million troops." Lin Ran groaned for a while and said.
"Enough!" Huo Quzhi's face was overjoyed, "It can actually support an army of 100 million, and the twelve adults are really immortal means!" ”
Lin Ran didn't speak, just arched his hand.
To put it bluntly, the Void Technique is an application of the rules of space, and the essence of the teleportation array is also the application of the rules of space, and Lin Ran's use of the Void Technique can indeed protect the army from the load of space on the body.
The Formation Grandmaster's movements were fast, and he quickly changed the interstellar coordinates and adjusted the destination of the teleportation array.
"Twelve." Huo Quzhi looked at Lin Ran.
Lin Ran nodded slightly, and pinched out the trick with both hands according to the records in the "Immortal Dao Basic Spells".
There was no difficulty for Lin Ran to cast the spell directly, but it was better to use this large-scale Void Technique.
It doesn't make a difference whether you use the trick on a daily basis or not, because the boundaries of use don't need to be so obvious, and now it'......
The invisible ripples spread, enveloping some of the soldiers, silently modifying the rules of the space around each soldier.
After doing all this, Lin Ran nodded towards Huo Quai.
Huo Quzhi understood and waved his hand.
The army is out!
Under the order of Huo Quai, the commander of the three armies, the interstellar teleportation array leading to the Longxi galaxy on the border of Xinghan was officially activated.
The Endless Divine Blossom shrouded the soldiers' bodies, and the light flashed and disappeared from the teleportation array.
After the first batch of soldiers teleported away, the next group of soldiers came to the location of the previous army in an orderly manner, waiting for the second activation of the teleportation array.
The first batch of 100 million troops were supported by Lin Ran's Void Technique, and they were constantly making spatial jumps. Most people just feel the whiteness in front of their eyes, and then continue to be teleported.
Only Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao and other Extreme Realm Martial Kings who had cultivated to be powerful only noticed that there was an invisible force supporting the army and resisting the load brought by the teleportation array.
Using the Void Technique on a large scale, even if Lin Ran was close to the spiritual power stock of the late stage of the Transformation Spirit, he was a little unbearable at this time.
After dozens of teleportations, Lin Ran canceled the Void Technique, and his face under the mask was a little pale, which was a manifestation of spiritual power overdraft.
As soon as the Void Technique disappeared, the soldiers who were still wondering why they didn't feel anything about this teleportation suddenly felt the pressure of teleportation.
However, the pressure of the teleportation array is not stacked in layers, and the reason why the soldiers can't bear it is because there are too many teleportations.
If the number of times is less, ordinary soldiers can withstand long-distance teleportation.
With Lin Ran's Void Technique in front of him, the 100 million army directly arrived at the destination Longxi in one go.
The follow-up army did not have the support of Lin Ran's Void Technique, and it would take time to arrive, far less than the speed of this group of advance troops.
"Old General Gongsun, you lead a group of people to wait for the army here, and the rest of the soldiers, discard some of the bags that affect the movement speed of the Star Sea Behemoth, and go out with this commander." Huo Quzhi quickly gave the order.
Not to mention the soldiers, even the generals are a little confused, what is the commander going to do? I don't even want the weight of the bag, there is no supply in the first place, and if these things are lost, isn't there even the last supply?
And Lin Ran looked at Huo Quai, who ordered the march lightly, and felt vaguely familiar when he looked at this scene.
This man is not going to ......
Lin Ran thought of a word, blitzkrieg.
The army set off on the Star Sea Giant Beast, and Lin Ran came to Huo Quai's side with Wei Qing.
This time, Lin Ran followed in addition to the plan to completely destroy the reincarnation, but also had the meaning of guiding the way.
The token of the Xiongnu royal court was handed over to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and stayed in Chang'an.
Lin Ran has not forgotten that the tokens of the Xiongnu Court can be positioned with each other, although this thing can guide the direction in the ancient psychedelic array, but at the same time, it will also expose Lin Ran, the "leading party".
Now is not the time for him to be completely exposed.
At least not until the reincarnation is killed by him.
However, without the token of the Xiongnu Royal Court, Lin Ran still has a way to find the right way in the ancient psychedelic array.
Standing on Huo Quzhi's side, the blue-gold light flickered in his eyes, injecting the eyes of the Hun Ancient Psychedelic Array observed by the dragon's eye into the interstellar map in turn.
The next moment, the misty interstellar map dissipated, and a scarlet interstellar route to the court of the Huns appeared on the interstellar map.
"Good!" Huo Quzhi was shocked when he saw this scene, and said with a fist.
The power of qi and blood surged, making modifications on the interstellar map, and after a while, an interstellar route appeared in the sight of the generals.
Wei Qing, who hid his identity and pretended to be the Demon Guard of the Tenth Town, stood behind Lin Ran, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes when he saw this route.
Sure enough.
The first stop of the interstellar route listed by Huo Quzhi is the left ventral galaxy of the Xiongnu Seventy-two Galaxy......
Yanzhi Mountain!
……
The Xiongnu seventy-two galaxies, the Yanzhishan galaxy, and the Pu star.
The Pu Kingdom, a small Xiongnu kingdom in the belly of the Xiongnu, was originally in the form of a tribe, and with the continuous growth of the population, the tribe grew little by little and became a kingdom.
For a long time, the war between Xinghan and Xiongnu did not have much feeling for the people of the Tupu Kingdom.
Located in the hinterland of the Xiongnu, the location of the Pu Kingdom is dangerous, but if the Xinghan army wants to fight them, according to the order of conventional warfare, it needs to take all the star fields in the Gewu galaxy first, and then come to the boundary of their Pu Kingdom.
Even if the Hun royal court ordered the whole country to be on alert in every war, only those armies on the edge of the Gewu galaxy were really alert and responded. A kingdom tribe like the Pu Kingdom, which is deep in the hinterland, doesn't take it seriously at all.
After so many years of fighting, they have long been familiar with the combat methods of the Xinghan army, so they don't have to worry about it at all.
However, empiricism is harmful.
There are always some people who don't play cards according to common sense.
Lin Ran stayed in the body of the Star Sea Giant Beast, watching the interstellar coordinates belonging to the Xingpu Star on the interstellar map turn blue, and his eyes were slightly strange.
This phenomenon means that the Xiongnu kingdom in the Great Star Huapu will either be completely wiped out or disarmed and surrendered, and the planet will be marked with the interstellar coordinates of Xinghan and become the territory of Xinghan.
I believe that the people of Pu, who were under the Nine Springs at this time, were very puzzled as to why Xinghan's army appeared in such a strange place.
In the months that followed.
Huo Qubing led a large army, across the Wulishan Galaxy, crossed the Hunu River in the Xinghai Forbidden Zone, and in just two months and sixty days, penetrated five Xiongnu kingdoms, occupied dozens of galaxies, and fought all the way to the Gaolan Mountain Galaxy.
The Xiongnu's Zhelan King and Luhu King were beaten to the doorstep only to know that the Xinghan army had quietly fought from Yanzhi Mountain, penetrated the five Xiongnu kingdoms, and now they have completely arrived in the city!
And the Huns were in large numbers......
At this time, the Xinghan army was still squatting in Yinshan.
In the face of the elite sharp knife troops of the Xinghan army, even if the strength of King Zhelan and King Luhu was good, they still could not escape the fate of death, and all their troops were killed.
In addition, the gold people used by the Xiongnu to worship their ancestors were also seized, which is probably equivalent to the tablet of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Xinghan Empire.
It is the same origin as the Jin people used by the Xiongnu royal court to suppress luck, which is a complete windfall for Lin Ran.
After defeating dozens of Xiongnu galaxies, Huo Qubing did not choose to retreat, but ordered the various armies that had converged to rest in place and set up camp in the hinterland of the Xiongnu.
By the time Zuo Xianwang's department, which was squatting in Yinshan on the front line, received the news that his hometown had been stolen, the Xinghan army had already finished resting.
Huo Qubing led the army again, crossed the Yellow River with the vision of the Xinghai Sea, crossed the Helan Mountain Galaxy, passed through the Tengger Desert and the Badain Jaran Desert, the forbidden land of the Xinghai Sea, and directly attacked the Hun Evil King and the Hutu King from the rear, annihilating 300 million enemy troops, and 25 million people including King Shan Heng, Xiangguo, and Duwei surrendered.
Shan Yu's wife and children were also captured by Huo Quai.
For a time, both Xinghan and the Huns were shaken.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent down one of the nine gifts used by the empire to worship the heavens, the Great Beard (G), which was an artifact that only the emperor could use.
Drinking the wine within the Great Beard can not only enhance cultivation and strengthen the power of qi and blood, but also get the blessing of the empire's luck and become the darling of the Xinghan's luck.
It is an extremely precious artifact.
When the artifact given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sent to Huo Qubing on the front line, Huo Qubing did not quote it alone, but poured it into a pool of spring water, integrated the miraculous power of wine into the spring water, and drank it with the soldiers.
This move won the admiration of all the soldiers, and Huo Quzhi also gave this nameless spring water a nice name, Jiuquan.
Just when Huo Qu was ill and celebrating in Jiuquan, the Hun evil king and the Hutu king were plotting to surrender, so they sent a surrender letter to Huo Quai.
The two Extreme Realm Martial Kings said that they would surrender, Huo Qubing suspected fraud, but he still responded first, but on the way to King Hutu's territory, before the Xinghan army arrived, King Hutu changed his mind and was not ready to surrender. But the evil king is bent on Han, you say you don't vote, you won't vote? He slaughtered King Hutu with his backhand, and when Huo Quai's army arrived, King Hun led his army to surrender to Xinghan.
The surrender of the evil king was a heavy blow to the Xiongnu, and it was also a fuse, and then thirty-two Xiongnu princes surrendered one after another, and they presented the territory of the Xiongnu to Xinghan before and after.
The seventy-two systems of the Xiongnu, no, should be the seventy-one galaxies, under the campaign of Huo Quai's several years, starting from Yanzhi Mountain, radiating thirty-nine galaxies inward.
Today's Xiongnu, only the last thirty-two galaxies are still surviving. And their biggest reliance, the Ancient Psychedelic Array, has lost most of its role because it has lost most of its territory.
The luck of the Huns, seven out of ten, is old.
The tragic song of the Huns: "Losing my Qilian Mountain makes my six animals rest." I have lost my mountains, and my women have no color. ”
