As the spring breeze blew across the land, the emerald green color reappeared in the world, and the war machine that the Han court had been preparing for three years began to operate.

"With the general Changping Hou Weiqing led 100,000 steps to ride out of Daijun, the right Beiping to conquer the Xiongnu Shan Yuting and the Zuoxian Wang, the hussar general champion Hou Huo went to the sick rate of 30,000 fine cavalry out of Shuofang to conquer the Xiongnu Right Xianwang Department, and the Xiaocai general Wushuang Hou Luo Wujian led 30,000 Jing to ride out of Longxi to conquer the Hutu King and the Hun Evil King."

Outside the city of Chang'an.

Thousands of knights in iron armor rode on horses, as far as the eye could see, and the roar of war horses was everywhere, this was the most elite cavalry in the entire Han court.

After that, there will be other Liangjiazi who join the army while marching, and countless Guanzhong children will follow the expedition along the way from Chang'an to Longxi.

There are also hundreds of princes and the children of various generals will accompany the expedition, among these people, I don't know how many can come back alive, but this is their fate, the feudal system does not raise idlers.

"No illness, you just have to boldly rush to the west of the river and the Western Regions, and the Right Virtuous King will be handed over to me here, and pay attention to ensure your own safety, don't let your sister worry."

Huo Quzhi put his arm around Luo Wuji's shoulder and said.

Luo Wuji said with a smile: "I have the blessing of my ancestors, and nothing big will happen, but you must pay attention to your physical condition during the march, and think about yourself not for yourself, but also for your sister." ”

After speaking, he raised his horse and spurred the horse and walked: "Go sick, I'm leaving, and I will meet in the Hun King's tent!" ”

Luo Wujian led the army from Chang'an, and along the way, he incorporated Liangjiazi into the army in various counties, until he arrived in Longxi County, and was about to enter the scope of the Hexi Corridor, and he already had 30,000 elite horsemen under his command.

He did not lead the infantry, because the infantry would only slow him down, and this time he was going to make a surprise attack and defeat the Xiongnu king entrenched in the Hexi Corridor with lightning speed.

In Longxi County, Luo Wujian did the general mobilization before the war, first of all, he worshiped King Su and the soldier master Xiang Yu, and now although the people of Guanzhong are the fusion of the Qin people, the Luo people, and the Chu people, culturally they are mainly Luochu, and the ancestral gods of the Qin State belong to the point of being ignored.

"Brothers, out of Longxi County, it is the territory of the Huns.

This time, we didn't have any logistical supplements except dry food, where to fight, where to eat, so that the Huns could have a good look at the demeanor of our Zhuxia Erlang.

Spread the glory of the Emperor Su to the Wild and Dark Lands! ”

"Kill Hu!"

"Kill Hu!"

As soon as I got out of Longxi County, I didn't go far, I only felt that there was a vast space between heaven and earth, and there was a sense of recklessness with the wind.

Luo Wujian looked at the large grassland, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is a better horse breeding farm than Henan, if you can raise horses here, the number of war horses of the Han Dynasty may reach hundreds of thousands, and then you will be able to completely suppress or even destroy the Huns." ”

Northwest, Saibei, Northeast, these are the three major horse breeding areas, especially in the northwest region, sixty percent of the world's war horses come out from here, and the quality is good, are high-headed horses, fast, strong impact, can run long distances, the only drawback is that it is not very durable, not only not cold-resistant, but also need to be very fine.

If you want to launch an offensive in winter, you have to be the war horse of Saibei, that is, the Mongolian horse of later generations, although the size is a little smaller, but the skin is rough and thick, can endure hard fighting, march for several days, and can also fight with high intensity.

Luo Wuji's goal was to penetrate directly into the court of the Hun Evil King, and the Huns would never have imagined that tens of thousands of cavalry of the Han army would raid Hexi, because in the eyes of the Huns, it was impossible for the Han people to suddenly have so many cavalry.

……

The war horse that Luo Wuji was riding stepped on a pit where blood gathered into a pit, looking at the dust on the ground mixed with blood, Luo Wuji did not have a trace of expression on his face, and slowly inserted the horse lance dripping with blood into the side of the war horse.

A daring warrior stepped forward and asked, "Childe, what should I do with these Hun captives?" ”

Luo Wuji said: "We only have 30,000 people, these people can't be wasted, the leaders and cronies of the Xiongnu tribe are all killed, the slaves let them ride on horses, give them a knife, follow us, as long as they can kill a Hun person, they will be pardoned as slaves."

Bring dry rations and throw away all the rest of the baggage, so as not to affect the speed of the march. ”

"Yes!"

After the daring warrior got the order, he went down, and then there were dozens of sounds of knives entering the flesh, and the Hun slaves looked at the Han army with fear, and then they learned that they didn't have to die, and they were immediately ecstatic.

The Han army killed all the wounded horses of the Huns, and then after a good meal, they immediately got on their horses and began to hurry.

After continuous non-stop marching and hundreds of miles of wild running, Luo Wujian finally arrived at the royal court of the Evil King, with continuous tents and no defense!

Luo Wujian looked at this scene and laughed loudly: "The Huns are really defenseless, and the brothers will rush to kill with me!" ”

……

Chang'an Changle Palace.

Since the three-way army came out of the fortress, Liu Che has been anxiously waiting for news, this is the first full-scale war between the Han and the Xiongnu, and the victory or defeat is crucial.

He knew that the effect of the infantry led by Hou Weiqing of Changping would not be particularly large, the main thing was to play a role of containment, and the same was true of the battle report that came, Wei Qing led the army and the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wangbu fought fiercely, and there was no difference between each other, Zuoxianwang could not break through the defense of the Han army, and the Han army had no ability to pursue.

Liu Che's real expectation was on the two cavalry of Luo Wuji and Huo Quzhi, those 60,000 people were the most elite army of the Han Dynasty, and countless money was smashed on them, and countless iron and leather were spent on the three pieces of hundreds of thousands of horses.

"Your Majesty!

The Wushuang Marquis sent a battle report:

Since leaving Longxi County, the minister led the army day and night for hundreds of miles, even broke the five tribes of the Huns, and attacked the camp of the evil king, the evil king was defenseless, the evil king fled westward, captured and killed the Xiongnu nobles alive, including the prince, the deputy king, the captain, the household, the minister of the state and other 73 people, and the other 12,773 people of the evil king.

The army of the Evil King is still there, and the minister is chasing and killing the King of the Evil King all the way to the west, waiting for the opportunity to attack and destroy the King of Hugh! ”

Liu Che didn't expect to receive such good news so quickly, and couldn't help but high-five, and the joy on his face couldn't be hidden at all.

As soon as a battle report arrived, it meant that the two sides had begun to fight each other, and the battle report of Huo Quai's illness was about to arrive.

"Report!

Your Majesty, the champion Hou sent a battle report. ”

"Read!"

"Champion Hou from Shuofang all the way to the north, across the Gobi, the desert, in the Xiongnu Dalan raided the camp of the right Xian King, the two sides fought fiercely, captured the head of the Xiongnu 23,000 people, the right Xian Wang fled west, the champion Hou is pursuing."

Liu Che slowly sat on the seat, and finally completely relieved his heart.

He put his mind at ease, but the Evil King and the Right Virtuous King directly scolded their mother, "These hateful Han people, what evil tools do they hang on the body of the war horse?"

What a misfortune it is to suddenly have so many powerful cavalry! ”

"You must immediately inform the royal court, the Han have a large number of cavalry, and we can't stop it at all."

……

When Chang'an received the battle report, Luo Wujian had already chased the evil king all the way to kill, and thousands of Huns died at the hands of the Han army almost every day.

The Hun Evil King and the Hutu King were both relatively large royal courts of the Xiongnu, ruling over a population of nearly 100,000 and million-level cattle, sheep and livestock, but they felt vulnerable in the face of Luo Wuji.

In fact, because of the previous raid, the elite of the Hun Evil King was lost, and the entire Hun Evil King was in chaos, and in the process of escaping, he couldn't organize a normal counterattack at all, and Luo Wujian was very bold to accept the Huns into the army, these Huns were originally gathered together, in fact, the tribal conflicts and contradictions inside were even greater than between the Han and the Huns.

Luo Wuji incorporated a tribe of the Xiaoyue clan, which is a tribe that has a deep blood feud with the Huns, and the Dayue clan who moved to the Western Regions from the same source, Luo Wuji named them Yue's Yicong, these people fought the Huns more vigorously than the Han army, and they were even better at dividing the Xiongnu, because these people could clearly distinguish the racial differences within the Xiongnu.

This made Luo Wuji's westward journey much smoother, and it was not until he chased more than three hundred miles that Luo Wujian gradually stopped, he observed the map in his hand, and thought about the escape route of the Evil King.

"You can't go all the way to the west anymore, King Hutu must be on guard, now turn around and go north, cross the desert to Juyan, and then turn back and attack from behind, King Hutu will definitely not be guarded.

Immediately send a war report to Chang'an, report on the gains made during this period of time, and explain to Your Majesty the intentions of this general, we set off immediately, we can't wait for Your Majesty's will, go! ”

will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected.

Not to mention a general like Luo Wuji, who has traveled thousands of miles, all the emperor can get is a war report, or victory, or defeat, and it is absolutely impossible to order a command.

Even if he could send airdrop orders and command micro-operations in this era, Luo Wujian would not listen.

Another battle report came from the front line, Liu Che listened with a smile, one by one the battle reports were all victories, who could not be surprised?

"Your Majesty, after the Wushuang Marquis defeated the Hun Evil King's Department, he captured another 22,000 people and surrendered 12,000 people, and the main force of the Hun Evil King's Department has been completely annihilated.

The Evil King fled with a small army to the Hutu Palace.

Wushuang Hou sent a letter, saying that there was a high probability that the Hutu Wang's troops had begun to be alert, and in order not to cause great damage, he would lead the army to turn north and cross the desert, then march westward, and then turn back to the south to raid the Hutu Wang's department.

On the day the battle report arrived, he should have been on the desert Gobi, and he would send the war report back after defeating the Hutu Wang's army. ”

Liu Che immediately got up and looked at the Kanyu map hanging on the wall, scratched the direction of Luo Wuji's march, and laughed loudly: "Wushuang Hou is really a master of art and bold!" ”

In the desert Gobi, Luo Wujian was leading a large army on a difficult march.
