As the army under Su Mo left the camp, everyone followed the direction of the compass and went straight to the hinterland of the Xiongnu.

On the way, Chen Wu patted the Malay newspaper and asked: "General, there are light cavalry scouts on the Xiongnu border ahead, do you need me to take them down with someone in case the news leaks out!" ”

Su Mo said indifferently: "No, I just want the Huns to know that we are coming!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Wu looked at Su Mo with a puzzled expression.

Marching and fighting battles have always been about surprise, and it is the best policy to win by surprise attacks to reduce losses.

They also have to go deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, and there will be no evil battles in the future.

Thinking of this, he immediately voiced his doubts.

"General, why do you want the Huns to know that we are coming?"

"Wouldn't this be a surprise to the Huns and make the Huns have some precautions?"

Su Mo said with a smile: "I just want to startle the snake!" ”

"If you don't startle the snake, how can the Huns come to face it?"

"Wouldn't it be a waste of time if we didn't let them come to us?"

Hearing his explanation, Chen Wu suddenly understood Su Mo's purpose, he wanted to force the Xiongnu to fight the border army head-on.

As long as the Huns relied on the greater number of cavalry under their command, they fell into the trap of Su Mo when they directly fought with the border army.

The grassland was too vast, and more than 100,000 cavalry threw it in and couldn't splash it.

Only by hitting the court of the Xiongnu can it be effective.

If the Xiongnu avoided war and harassment, their border army was helpless, and they could only waste time on the road.

Figuring out the key, he randomly ordered his soldiers to stop reining in, and the bigger the action, the better.

Half an hour later, the border army had already marched in the middle of the night, dozens of miles away from Tai'an City!

At this time, they will also approach the first stronghold of the Xiongnu, Xinfeng Town!

This is a town established by the Xiongnu in order to exchange with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The main purpose was to give the Hun caravan a rest and turnover.

Among them, the defenders only talked about a few thousand people, and on weekdays they were just to prevent horse thieves and some mountain bandits from robbing caravans.

As the scout finished exploring, Chen Wu immediately came to report with information, and he walked quickly to Su Mo's side and said.

"General, dozens of miles ahead is Xinfeng Town, according to the news found by the scouts, there are five thousand defenders, including about two thousand cavalry!"

"The last general will directly lead someone to pull it out!"

Listening to the name of Xinfeng Town, Su Mo had a rough guess in his heart.

Now the land is close to the hinterland of the Xiongnu, and some scattered cavalry of the Xiongnu will soon be encountered.

As for this Xinfeng town, there may also be a Xiongnu caravan.

According to the previous custom, the Xiongnu usually came to trade in the depths of winter, and most of the goods were wool and so on.

He looked at Chen Wu and advised, "Remember to fight quickly, leave some alive to go back and report the news!" ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Wu suddenly understood Su Mo's purpose, and he promised to leave immediately and rush back to the place where the pioneer camp was located.

He summoned all the lieutenants under him and advised: "You are all like me Chen Wu, you are the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" ”

"During this time, you have also experienced how the border passes are compared to the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"If you want to make a contribution, be smart later!"

After speaking, he swept over the group of lieutenants and said sharply: "I don't want to see anyone, and I can't work like before!" ”

"Those who are afraid of death, those who want to enjoy happiness, it's too late to go back now!"

All the lieutenants said in unison: "Don't be afraid, not afraid, not afraid!" ”

Seeing everyone like this, Chen Wu was extremely relieved.

He was appointed as a deputy general as soon as he surrendered to the border pass, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and this trust made him extremely moved!

Coupled with the lives of the people in the border gates, he saw the motivation to work hard.

Countless times better treatment than the Great Zhou Dynasty is the purpose of his stay.

He also wants to let his children and grandchildren live this life, and now is the most crucial step to achieve this.

This is his first battle as a general, as a pioneer, and he must fight wonderfully and beautifully!

Only in this way can he be recognized by Su Mo and really accepted by the border army.

Observing the situation in Xinfeng Town, he divided his vanguard into three parts.

He personally led the elite to charge the middle gate.

The left wing was responsible for hunting around, and deliberately put some scouts back to the Huns.

Others follow behind to prevent accidents.

With an order, the cavalry in the army suddenly rushed out.

In Xinfeng Town, a group of Hun scouts looked at the cavalry not far away in surprise.

In the depths of winter, where did their cavalry come from on the steppe?

At the next moment, the cavalry torrent appeared, and on the city wall, all the soldiers were stunned in place.

The cavalry of the border army not far away was endless, like a torrent coming, heading straight for Xinfeng Town.

On the city wall, the guards shouted hoarsely: "Burn the beacon fire, the enemy attack, the enemy attack!" ”

After the hurried operation of a group of Hun soldiers, Chen Wu and the others were only three hundred steps away from Xinfeng Town, and the guards hurriedly ordered their soldiers to shoot arrows!

"Quick, quick, let go of the wood, put the oil on fire, and never let them rush over!"

Before he could finish arranging, the border army had already appeared two hundred steps away, looking at the arrows flying over, Chen Wu shouted angrily: "Those who climb the city wall first will be rewarded!" ”

Hearing his words, all the cavalry were beaten like chickens and blood, and they all accelerated their speeds.

Two hundred paces away, everyone rushed to the city gate with just a stick of incense.

Chen Wu took the lead, blasted open the city gate with internal force, and rushed in.

The combat strength of the border army was already several times higher than that of the Xiongnu, and now the Xiongnu have lost the heart of resistance, and they are even more defeated.

For a time, everyone in Xinfeng Town surrendered one after another and no longer resisted.

From the launch of the charge to the capture of Xinfeng Town, it was not more than half an hour, Chen Wu asked people to clean up the scouts in Xinfeng Town, and then rushed to the Su Mo military tent.

Before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first, and I only heard him say loudly: "General, there is an unexpected joy this time!" ”

"The caravan under the command of King Zuoxian of the Huns just rested in Xinfeng Town, and it will be close to 10,000 rolls of wool!"

Hearing this, Su Mo was slightly moved.

The Huns liked to bundle their wool into rolls for easy transportation and sale.

In ordinary times, a roll of wool is two hundred taels of silver, and in winter the price has to be doubled.

This 10,000 rolls of wool is four million taels of silver, and it should all be a windfall.
