Fire.

Billowing smoke and fires.

The entire camp, which is three miles long from north to south and two miles wide from east to west, has turned into a sea of fire with Zhang Xu's unhesitating order.

Zhelan people are struggling;

The Zhelan people rebelled;

Zhelan people are unwilling;

Zhelan people, dying.

As the three tribes with the most combat effectiveness and the most combat characteristics among the grassland barbarians, Zhelan, Baiyang, and Lou Fu all have their own famous skills.

For example, if you believe in antelope, the white sheep tribe with the head of the sheep as the tribal totem is famous for the disgusting 'return horse shooting' of the grassland tribes.

- The so-called return horse shooting is to pretend that it is not low, and when the horse is running away, he turns around and releases arrows behind him without warning.

In this way, the enemy, who is busy chasing the Aries, will slam his body into the arrows fired by the Aries due to the tremendous kinetic energy of his own forward rush.

Another example is the annoying building, which is famous among the grasslands, and is the riding and archery technology that makes the entire known world jaw-dropping.

Riding and shooting, it may not sound like a big deal.

But don't forget: in this era, there are no stirrups and saddles yet!

Even the Huns, even nomads who were born and raised on horseback, had to spend their lives perfecting their riding skills in order to maintain balance on horseback, let alone wielding bows and arrows on smooth horseback.

In fact, Lou's annoying so-called mounted archery is nothing more than slowing down the speed during the gallop and pulling the bow in a state of slow movement.

But even so, it is enough for Lou Annoying to become famous on the grassland with this 'riding and archery' skill.

- Other ordinary tribes, let alone riding and shooting, even riding on horseback, holding a bow and aiming at a stationary state are quite remarkable skills.

As the most outlier, the most iron-clad, and the least common flesh-clad warrior among the grassland barbarians, the Zhelan people's combat methods, customs and culture, and even beliefs are all outliers among the aliens.

Diametrically opposed to the survival rule of the steppe nomads of 'fleeing when they smell danger': the culture of the Zhelan people advocates the spiritual attribute of the brave who meets on a narrow road.

In the culture and customs of the Zhelan people, no matter under any circumstances, the warrior should not have the slightest retreat, or even the idea of retreating.

A true warrior should rush to the enemy's thousands of troops even if he is alone, even if he is alone, and even if he dies in battle, he must die on the way to the charge.

Therefore, the stunts that Zhelan people rely on to become famous are also famous.

- Death Charge.

On this day, the Flying Fox Captain under the leadership of Zhang Xu also saw this magnificent scene.

In the middle of the camp, the king of Zhelan, Hakan, bowed his head with a strange smile and removed the horn hanging from his waist;

After kissing his partner for many years affectionately, Hackan slowly raised his head.

Woo~

Woo~

Woo~~

Woo~~~~~~

With a low, mournful, and inexplicably sad horn sound, the Erlan people, who were trapped in the camp and felt the temperature gradually rising, raised their heads in order.

When they looked in the direction from which the trumpet came, they saw the king, whom they had revered from the heart, sounding the trumpet of the charge.

Slowly, every Zhelan person began to move.

He bowed his head and prayed in a loud voice, then raised his head and walked towards his horse.

Roll over on your horse, grip the blunt object, and take a deep breath······

"Oriran ······"

"Undefeated ······ of Orilan"

"Immortal Oriran ······"

In the midst of this low murmur, Hawkan also turned on his horse.

A crown made of pure gold, which shines brightly in the bright sun;

The scepter in his hand, like the blunt weapon in the hands of every Zhelan person, has become the last weapon that Hawkan relies on.

Dada;

Dada;

Da Da;

Da Da;

······Dada

Ha Kan rode out of the horse, and every time the war horse under his crotch took a step, more than a dozen figures followed behind Ha Kan.

Slowly, the team that originally had only one person gradually gathered into a cone-shaped cavalry queue of nearly 1,000 people.

- Death Charge.

- With a will to die, follow your own king, and launch a desperate charge against your enemies.

Riding horses to crash and trample;

wielding a blunt object to pick and smash;

Even after falling off the horse, he hit with his fists, kicked with his feet, and even bit with his teeth.

From the moment the death charge is launched, until the battle is completely quelled;

The Zhelan people will never disarm and surrender.

Even if they die, the heroic and fearless Zhelan people will only die on the way to the charge.

As a result, the Zhelan people under the leadership of Hakan, the last Zhelan, ran headlong into the salvo fired by the Han family's most elite and experienced bow and crossbow phalanx.

They got what they wanted.

They died on the way to the charge.

It was also until the end of his life that there were a few Zhelan people who were vaguely aware of something.

- Bravery, it seems, does not mean that you should not wear armor;

The refusal to wear armor did not bring much substantial help to the brave Zhelan people······

·

"How can this be?"

"This! What should I do?! ”

Mayi, the head of the north wall of the city.

Looking at the Flying Fox camp dozens of miles away, which was rising into the sky with black smoke at the moment, Zhi Du only felt indescribably anxious.

- It's over.

In Zhidu's view, the Flying Fox Army paid the price for his arrogance and inaction in the past ten days.

Perhaps last night, the Huns launched a surprise attack that turned the Flying Fox camp upside down;

Maybe at this moment, I don't know how many Yan Zhao men are rolling and wailing with fire, but they still can't change their fate.

The most unacceptable thing for Zhi is that if the truth is really as he guessed, then the strategic goal of the Huns has been accomplished.

Why did the Huns fight this war?

- Because at the beginning of spring, the Huns first attacked the four counties of Hanbian, and then used the results of the war as a bargaining chip to send envoys to blackmail the Han family.

After being sternly rejected by the young Emperor and stating that 'if you can't get it on the battlefield, you can't get it at the negotiating table', the Huns urgently need to prove to the young Tianzi Sheng: It's not that we can't get what we want on the battlefield, it's just that it's just troublesome.

In this way, the strategic goals of the Huns in this war are clear at a glance.

A certain degree of destruction and looting was carried out in the Daibei region, and a certain degree of damage was caused to the Han army, in order to warn the young Han emperor Liu Sheng: The Huns are very difficult to mess with!

If you don't want something like this to happen again, just send the delicate princess, and by the way, send all the dowries that my big Huns want!

Obviously, whether it was to inflict heavy damage on the cavalry general Zhidu Suo's troops stationed in Mayi, or to attack the troops of Zhang Xu, the commander of the Flying Fox Commander outside Mayi, the strategic goal of the Huns to 'warn the Han family' could be achieved.

And when the strategic goal was achieved, and there was really little chance to cross the Mayi and continue to expand the fruits of victory, the Huns made the wisest choice······

"Let's go."

"Huns, will go."

"-Having already obtained the desired result, and really not having the confidence to break through Mayi, the Huns will definitely leave."

"Soon after, I am afraid that the Huns sent another envoy to show off their power in Chang'an, saying that there is no one in my Han family, so that the Flying Fox Captain is nothing more than thousands of wine bags and rice bags······"

As he said this, Zhi Du's face was even more anxious, and his eyes flashed with a grim light from time to time.

has been a classmate for many years, and Cheng Buzhi saw Zhidu's plan at a glance, so he hurriedly stepped forward to lower the volume.

"Never!"

"Hu Barbarians are all elite cavalry, although our army is famous for riding cars, but there are almost no cavalry!"

"If you rashly chase out of the city, you will gain nothing, and it will be a small matter, and if you are ambushed, it will be a big matter!"

"-Senior brother!"

"The Lord shall not raise up a teacher out of anger, and he shall not cause war because of anger?!!"

"Have you forgotten the teacher's teachings???

The words of earnest persuasion caused Zhidu to frown for a while, and the depression in his chest turned into a low roar.

"So what?"

"——There is no one in the eyes of that Xu Pifu, and he didn't care about the fighter plane first, and now his life and death are unknown!!"

"If Captain Flying Fox makes a mistake, what should happen to the north wall in the future, but it can be ignored for the time being;"

"It's just that this victory or defeat is not only related to how my Han family will deal with themselves in front of the Northern Barbarian Huns in the future, but also related to it!"

···

"It's more about Your Majesty'!!"

Halfway through his words, he realized what he was about to say, and Zhi Du instinctively stopped talking;

It's just that the chaotic thoughts finally made Zhi Du unbearable, and he threw down a sentence of 'more about Your Majesty' in extreme distress, and gritted his teeth.

Seeing that Cheng didn't know what to say, he immediately showed a thoughtful look, and Zhi Du finally had to be anxious 'Alas! With a bang, the fist slammed into the wall.

The importance of this battle will not be understood by Cheng Buzhi.

Especially the 'about Your Majesty' that Zhi Du vaguely mentioned, Cheng Buzhi knew it even more clearly.

- Liu Sheng, who has reached the age of twenty.

If such an accident does not happen, then in the spring of next year, Liu Sheng, who is now 20 years old, will have a crown ceremony, a big wedding, and then come to the court.

This war was started because Liu Sheng had not yet been crowned and had not yet been pro-government, and the Empress Dowager Dou made an exception to allow Liu Sheng to be the master.

In case the final result is not satisfactory······

"Qin Wangzheng also ascended the throne without a crown, obviously he didn't make any mistakes, but he was still under the pressure of his mother Queen Zhao and Prime Minister Lu Buwei, so he had no choice but to postpone the crown for two years."

"In order to be pro-government, he first quelled Chang Yu's rebellion, and then deposed the prime minister Lü Buwei and allowed him to monopolize the power of Qin."

"Qin is only one of the heroes, Wang Zheng wants to be pro-government, and there are still such setbacks."

"Now, my Han family is rich in the world, and Your Majesty wants to be pro-government·······"

The words full of sorrow only caused Zhi Du to turn around in a little surprise.

"So·······?"

But seeing that Cheng was busy and shook his head, he denied Zhidu's conjecture before Zhidu's words were spoken.

"Senior brother."

"There is a priority in everything."

"——What the senior brother is worried about is only a matter of succession, and it is not too long before His Majesty is crowned pro-government."

"But if I bury the army in this Mayi because of my two stupidity, so that the soldiers are meaningless to bury the bones, not to mention that the two of us can't afford to be pointed out by the world, it is the court, and it is difficult to face the ardent expectations of the people in Guanzhong·······"

···

"In this battle, Your Majesty only asked us to ensure that Ma Yi was not broken and Hu Lu did not appear south of Loufu;"

"If Hu Lu has retreated, the task assigned to us by His Majesty can already be regarded as completed."

"——The teacher once said: forbearance is for the country."

"For the sake of my Han family, senior brother, let's stop here·······"

"For my Han family, reserve some more strength, so that in the future, I will avenge the Flying Fox Captain·······"

It is not difficult to hear from Cheng Buzhi's words: Regarding the current situation of Captain Flying Fox, Cheng Buzhi is not more optimistic than Zhi Du.

- Yesterday, the Flying Fox camp was still smoking, and today, it has turned into billowing wolf smoke;

Anyone who sees such a scene and such a change will only think that last night, the Flying Fox camp was attacked by the Huns, and the Flying Fox Commander suffered heavy losses, and it may not even be that the whole army was destroyed.

Under this premise, the main force in Guanzhong led by Zhidu and Cheng Buzhi can only consider the next strategic layout on the premise that 'Captain Flying Fox has at least withdrawn from the battlefield'.

Obviously: Cheng Buzhi's proposal is the wisest choice at the moment·······

"Alas·······"

"A godsend·······

"It's a pity ·······"

···

"Zhang Xu misled the country's ·······"

"Zhang Xu misunderstood me!!"

Boom!

There was another muffled sound, and Zhi Du's right fist, which repeatedly smashed against the wall, finally shed a little dark red.

Zhidu didn't seem to feel it at all, and only looked at the direction of the Flying Fox camp from a distance.

full of regret, full of embarrassment, shaking his head with a long sigh;

Just as he was about to issue a military order to 'continue martial law on Mayi and send scouts out of the city to investigate the whereabouts of the Huns', he saw five figures in the distance outside the city wall.

As soon as the five figures got closer, and before they could even see the costumes of the five people, Zhi Du's eyes widened with excitement!

- Five!

This number alone is enough to prove that these five knights are the 'first army' under the Han army!

In particular, these five knights were in a cover formation that was lurking and advancing according to the scouts they were very familiar with, which made Zhidu even more convinced: this was the first batch of messengers sent to Ma Yi by Zhang Xu, the captain of the Flying Fox.

The facts are not as expected.

It's just that except for recognizing these five people, who were messengers sent to Ma Yi by Zhang Xu, everything else was greatly beyond Zhidu's expectations.

For example, last night, the Flying Fox Army used its own camp as a bait to ambush and annihilate the entire Zhelan Division, one of the troika of the Huns!

Even the two tribes of Lou Fu and Bai Yang, who fled after hearing the wind, were all severely injured outside the Flying Fox camp, leaving thousands of corpses behind before they were able to escape from the battlefield.

What really made Zhi Du feel unbelievable, and even unbelievable, was the whereabouts of Yi Zhixi, the right virtuous king of the Huns, and Zhang Xu's ambitions······

"General Zhang Duwei told the Zhiche cavalry: The Xiongnu Right Sage King Yizhi Evil Department is now in the mountains and forests south of the Flying Fox camp and north of Mayi, waiting for my Flying Fox army to break up and flee south, and attack it in ambush."

"Zhang Duwei wants to lead the army south, between the mountains and forests of the Right Sage King Yizhi Evil Society."

"If Zhi is intentional, Zhang Duwei is not a person who is greedy for meritorious service."

"Just wait for the Zhiche cavalry to lead the army out of the city, and attack in the north and south of Zhang Duwei, and the right virtuous king Yi Zhizhi is evil, so it will be difficult to fly."

···

"——So that the Zhiche rider knows: the right sage king Yi Zhixi, is the royal family of the Xiongnu clan."

"Capture and kill them are all fame for eternity, for future generations to worship."

"Only Zhang Duwei has no desire to be humble, and he has the intention to take it, so he has to show his magical powers·······"
