Chapter 254: The Battle of the Han-Hun River West [Asking for Votes]
Changan.
The study of Weiyang Palace.
The Li clan of Longxi, the Li clan of Zhaojun and other clans gathered together.
Before Huo Qu's illness, he summoned them to Chang'an to inquire about horses and other matters. Because of the outbreak of war, Huo Qu was ill and went on an expedition, and these people from the clan who had rich resources waited here after coming to Chang'an.
They came to Weiyang Palace because they received an invitation from Dong Zhongshu, who returned to Chang'an from the northwest, and were summoned by the emperor.
Dong Zhongshu took the initiative to gather various families, still to gather wool.
He had discussed with Huo Qubing before that he would come forward to kill the clans.
Dong Zhongshu Ming said that he would build a city in the northwest, and the meaning was very clear.
The emperor personally assisted, and then manifested the situation of the Han army in the northwest, conquering the Xiongnu.
The heads of the families did not have time to marvel at what means the emperor used to go beyond the borders of the country and peek into the situation of the war in the northwest thousands of miles away, so they were attracted by the process of war.
Time passes.
In the picture, until Huo Qubing won the victory, he led the Han army to gallop away. There was silence in the study for nearly a quarter of an hour.
The lord of the clans was the first time to see Huo Qubing commanding the army, and he was shocked and inspired.
The defeat of the Xiongnu was the most throbbing confrontation of the Han people.
This is the result of a national feud that has been entangled for centuries.
Li Zhao, the lord of the Li clan in Longxi, clenched his fists and calmed down after a while.
The Hongnong Yang family beside him, that is, the Yang family known as the "Confucius of Kansai" in later generations, the third prince of the fourth generation.
Yang Yi, the head of his family, sighed lightly.
He had a thin face, was over sixty years old, and had a long beard on his chin.
Watching the battle process, Yang Yi was also emotionally uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and then relieved:
"As a Han Chinese, we are one with the Han people. Since the army is fighting in front and fighting with the Xiongnu, we should raise money and food. ”
"It's just that each family spends year after year, and the surplus is not much!"
Dong Zhongshu said with a smile: "Do you know how much you have gained by establishing four counties in the direction of the Western Regions and opening up the road to trade in the Western Regions?"
In this establishment of the county and the subsequent trade, His Majesty allowed all families to participate.
Those who spend more will share more profits. ”
The heads of each family looked at each other and showed a look of emotion.
After Zhang Qian returned to the Han Dynasty, the business of opening the Western Regions has been carried out in the world for three or four years. Especially in Chang'an, there are often all kinds of things coming and going from the Western Regions, flowing all over the world.
Among them, the profits are visible.
If it can be vigorously implemented, the current expenditure is equivalent to an investment, and it can be recouped later.
Li Zhao groaned and said: "My Li clan is located in Longxi, adjacent to the northwest border pass, and is often disturbed by border troubles. If we can expand the borders, Longxi will no longer be a border county, which will be beneficial to my Li family.
This time the DPRK and China are expanding the new county, and I, the Li family, are willing to use the savings of my family to fund the construction of the border county. ”
The heads of several other families were surprised when they heard this.
Even though Tongxi Regions has a lot of profits, Li's statement is too generous.
He said that the surplus of the family was poured out, and if he said such things in front of the emperor, there would never be moisture.
The Li family really wanted to take out all the balance of the family, and the expenditure was much higher than the estimate of the heads of each family.
Why did the Li family invest so much money?
Several heads of the family looked thoughtful.
They didn't know that Li Zhao had been reminded that Huo Qubing had gone to Longxi before, and that his young son had come to Chang'an a year later and had become one of Huo Quai's personal soldiers.
Li Zhao later savored Huo Qu's words at the time of his illness, and vaguely realized that the emperor might want to attack the clan.
He made a statement in advance, and he also broke the fortune to avoid disaster.
Whoever wants to take less, the emperor will remember it clearly in his small book.
Liu Che's eyes swept at Li Zhao.
Other heads of families also expressed their willingness to contribute money and food.
It's just that no one is as generous as Li Zhao, and he is willing to fund the establishment of border counties in the DPRK and China.
Dong Zhongshu is quite satisfied with the results.
promised Huo to go to illness before, and went to various families to raise money, which was unexpectedly smooth.
The matter was properly discussed, but the heads of the families had no intention of retiring, and Xie Han, the lord of the Xie clan of Chenjun County, said:
"I watched Huo Hou use troops just now, it seems that there is an unfinished intention, I wonder if Your Majesty can let me wait and see?"
Watching Huo Qu get sick and fight is addictive.
Would like to watch another episode.
The emperor smiled dumbly, stretched out his hand, and a faint purple halo spread.
Once again, the scene of the Northwest is revealed.
Huo Quai's hidden march was gone.
But the emperor's driving force showed another battlefield, and it was Zhang Cigong who was engaged in a battle with the men and horses of the Xiongnu rear army.
The two sides have been fighting for some time, and the fighting is very fierce.
The battlefield is located in a vast plain, with yellow sand everywhere, and the occasional undulating sand dunes can be seen.
On the battlefield that is several miles wide, the men and horses are distributed, the banners are facing the wind, catching and fighting, and the cold light of the swords is dazzling.
In one of the positions, a Han soldier was stabbed in the chest and abdomen by the opponent's spear.
The Han army was a spear shaft that was grabbed into the abdomen, his face was fierce, and he swung his knife and slashed while being hit hard.
The Hun soldiers on the opposite side who also showed fierce eyes also paid the price, and were counterattacked by the Han army, cutting off half of their palms.
The moment the Hun soldiers let go of the handle of the spear in pain, the cold light flashed in front of them, but it was the Han army who tried their best to cut at the shoulder blades of the Hun soldiers, and the blade was cut diagonally, and even half of his neck was cut off.
The Han army took a spear into the belly and fell from his horse.
Able to fight back and kill his opponent at the last moment, he grinned, as if he wanted to laugh, but his expression was slowly solidifying!
Both fell to the ground.
The Han army was still staring at him when he was dying.
Similar scenarios are played out in every corner of the battlefield, winning or losing.
This kind of tragic fighting is the scene of the war between the two countries.
The emperor and several clan lords were silent, but they became more and more aware of Huo Quai's strength when he led the troops.
I was used to seeing him lead troops to fight the Huns, and I would subconsciously feel that the Huns were so weak that they were almost vulnerable.
But the battle curtain in front of him clearly shows the cruelty of war.
The Xiongnu tribes were not weak, but they encountered the stronger Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, and they were continuously defeated by the Han army in recent years.
Zhang Cigong was already a rare brave general, but he led his troops to block the enemy and fight with the Huns, the battle situation was scorching, and the victory was difficult to distinguish.
Turtles.
Roshna urged Shata, and she was also nervously watching the trend of the battle.
……
On the wasteland, the Han army galloped on horseback.
I could faintly hear the shouts of killing coming from ahead.
Routed by them, the fleeing Huns also galloped ahead, and the situation was chaotic.
Huo Qubing lifted the concealment effect of concealing the sky and crossing the sea and the marching method, and all the members of the Han army rushed to the battlefield as if they had been killed from the void.
On their robes, the blood splashed by the killing Hun soldiers seemed to still have residual warmth.
All the Han troops were firmly gripping their war spears, and their faces showed a look of bravery.
In the past, the Xiongnu plundered the land of the Han people and killed countless Han people...... At this moment, it is time to calculate all the past grudges and the Huns clearly, and take them back doublely.
This is the wish of all Han soldiers, and it is also the wish of Huo Quai!
The hard training in the past, joining the army to fight on the battlefield without regrets, is for the moment in front of me, the flame in my heart is only burning for the big man!
Coming this way, for these perennial soldiers, it is time to adjust their internal rest, eat a small amount, and recover their consumption.
Continuing to ride forward, the eyes of all the Han troops became more and more condensed, staring at the battlefield in front of them like sharp swords.
Some soldiers began to swallow a red pill on the seated horses to keep their horses strong.
At this moment, Huo Qu's illness suddenly gave birth to a hint of alarm.
On this battlefield, there was an ambush of the Huns......
In a corner of the battlefield, the Xiongnu did hide a group of soldiers and horses, the famous Western Xiongnu strong army, Zhelan cavalry!
They lay dormant not far from the battleground, behind rolling sand dunes and cols.
King Zhelan had contact with Huo Qubing before and knew the strength of the Han army. Therefore, he was very cautious and used means to hide, preparing to fight the ambush of the Han army.
In his hand, the king of Zhelan held a skull that looked like a falcon, which was larger than a human head.
With such a large eagle skull, I don't know how huge it was during its lifetime.
The curse on the skull was extinguished, and the eyes, mouth, etc., continued to overflow with faint black qi, covering the area where Zhelan rode it, so that their hiding did not overflow at all.
"Most of the radicals did not hesitate to use the bones of the ancestral eagle......"
Beside the king of Zhelan, it is his tribal shaman pinching the sun, and it is also famous in the Western Xiongnu.
"Before, I had a brief chase and battle with the soldiers and horses led by Huo Quai, and it was not enough to defeat him without using the ancestral artifacts of the inheritance."
King Zhelan's eyes opened and closed, and he said:
"This time, we and other departments have exhausted their strength, if we can't defeat the Han army, we will not only lose the Western Regions, but we will also lose the place where we live!"
At this moment, on the periphery of the battlefield not far away, Huo Qubing led the team to kill and stabbed straight to the battlefield.
The place where Zhelan rode was hidden, a hundred zhang away from the right side of the Han army, and rushing out could pose a threat to the flank of the Han army and cut it off.
King Zhelan's eyes were full of joy, and he said categorically: "Those who kill the Han army will be rewarded heavily!" Those who retreat from the battle, slash! ”
He raised his hand and put the eagle skull on the top of his head, like a crown of bones in the shape of an eagle's head, which was very terrifying.
When he put on the crown of bones, the countless incantations on the skull fell and merged with him.
Behind him, the Zhilan cavalry gathered their breath, faintly turning into a blurred giant eagle made of breath.
Under the cover of the giant eagle's outstretched wings, the team rushed out of the dormant place, and the speed was so fast that it flew close to the ground and rushed towards the Han army!
Its position and timing are impeccable.
Far away in Chang'an, people watching the battle in Qiuzi from all sides were nervous.
"The Huns have ambush soldiers!"
On the battlefield, Huo Qubing had insight into an ambush in advance.
But when the army is marching, it is impossible to make adjustments immediately.
Just as Zhelan rode out, Huo Quai's sound shook the whole army:
"The right wing queue leans to the left, corresponding to the Tianjiu position, and the six turns of the kan are due east in the circle, and the internal gun is rotated outward."
Zhelan rode at a speed like flying, and he had already killed it in an instant.
At the moment when it was about to make contact with the Han army, the Han army followed the direction of the horse, slightly turned the horse's head, and shifted to the left in unison.
The entire queue moves in unison, and suddenly forms a semi-circular rotating formation.
A tortoiseshell pattern appeared on the edge of the array, which was the power of Huo Quai's blessing to release the military array and trigger the Xuanwu talisman!
In the change of the queue, the Han army waved the spear in his hand at the same time, and stabbed with the lightning of the array.
Viewed from above, the Orilans seemed to have rushed to the edge of a spinning 'millstone'.
And around this grinding disc is a war spear.
Between the lightning and the fire, the collision of men and horses, and the impact of the Zhelan cavalry were buffered by the powerful forces gathered by the Han army, the tortoiseshell pattern, and the rotating array and the formation released by Huo Quai.
Although the Han army that was collided was damaged, the surprise attack of the Zhelan cavalry did not have the desired trapping effect, and it was also moved by the Han army, and the formation of the military formation changed, and many people were stabbed to death with war spears.
The array continued to whirl, and then more of the rushing Zhelan riders were swept in, stabbed to death.
On the battlefield, the advancing Han army was diverging, and one went straight to the front to support Zhang Cigong's department.
The other team was personally led by Huo Quzhi, crossed an arc, turned back like a scimitar, and rushed towards Zhelan with murderous energy.
The whole team turned around quickly, like a river flowing.
Huo Qubing rode in front, and the team that accompanied him followed closely, and the whole army was boiling.
It has always been them who have been ambushed by others, and some people dare to fight ambushes against Huo Quai, which makes him angry that these subordinates under his command have left.
Huo Quzhi shouted: "Generals, why are we here? ”
"For the Han, for the defeat of the Huns!"
"For all Han Chinese!"
"Kill!"
The Han army changed its formation quickly, and the way it dealt with the Hun soldiers who came out of the flanks was beyond the expectations of all onlookers.
Huo Quai's reaction and the dispatch of soldiers and horses completed the anti-guest process in a few breaths.
On the other side, Zhelan Riding also made adjustments and divided into a group.
The two sides hedged head-on.
On the wasteland, the cavalry spread out, and the queue of hundreds of feet long formed a cross-section, and the horses galloped and collided with each other.
Under the hooves of thousands of horses, the rolling sand obscured the sky.
Jinan's huge hooves kicked the ground, and the ground exploded.
Its horse's eyes were full of excitement.
Around the Han army, a force gathered like a flywheel, spinning and galloping at the edge of the queue.
On the bony crown on the top of the head of the king of Zhelan, the phantom of the giant eagle rises and falls, led by it, flapping its wings as if to pounce on the Han army.
Rumble!
The two armies collided head-on, like two torrents colliding and then exploding, and the soldiers splashed in all directions!
The earth is in turmoil, and where it collides, the sound of killing suddenly rises!
