Looking at the stronghold not far away, Su Mo ordered someone to thoroughly investigate it before making a decision, Chen Wu received the order, and immediately led a group of scouts to investigate.

After the three incense sticks, Chen Wu returned to the barracks with the news he had just investigated.

In the big tent, Su Mo asked people to bring warm goat milk wine and handed it to Chen Wu, who bowed down and thanked him, and then drank the goat milk wine and warmed his body for a while.

Then he hurriedly spoke.

"General, this stronghold should be the activity base of the Huns, and their tents and strongholds have not been built for a long time!"

"There are no large cattle and sheep pastures nearby, only a few small ones!"

With that, he took out some stones and used them as a map.

Chen Wu pointed to one of the rather conspicuous stones and said, "This is their barracks tent, in which there are about 20,000 soldiers, of which there are about 5,000 cavalry, and the rest are infantry!" ”

"In this tent, in addition to the 20,000 soldiers, the rest of the young and strong are quite few, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately knew that this stronghold was built temporarily to avoid the wind and cold.

Among them, the old, weak, sick and disabled should be planning to go to the Xiongnu royal court, but they encountered heavy snow on the way, so they had no choice but to set up a temporary camp.

After thinking about it, Su Mo immediately arranged tasks for the commanders.

It was still Chen Wu who served as the vanguard, responsible for storming the military camp, and Cheng Meng was the commander of a thousand soldiers, leading 5,000 cavalry to parade around to prevent a large number of cavalry from escaping.

After arranging specific combat tasks, Cheng Meng and Chen Wu left one after another and returned to their respective barracks to prepare.

In the vanguard army, all the generals looked at Chen Wu with excitement.

"What does the general say? Are we still the vanguard this time? ”

Seeing Chen Wu nodding, all the generals stood up and cheered with great excitement.

Chen Wu stopped everyone and reprimanded: "The general trusts us so much, we can't let the general down!" ”

"This stronghold is a little strange this time, these people are not weak in combat, don't take it lightly!"

Hearing this, all the commanders said indifferently: "General, you are too worried, how high the combat power of the Huns is, don't the brothers know?" ”

"If it weren't for the too many bows and crossbows in the last stronghold, the brethren would probably have died even less."

Chen Wu gave a warning to the commanders under his command, asking everyone to go back and arrange specific accusations, and not let go of any cavalry.

The rest of the commanders issued military orders one after another, promising that no one would be released.

Seeing this, Chen Wu also relieved himself to signal everyone to leave first, and waited for Su Mo's military order to start.

With the order of the Chinese army, 20,000 cavalry under Chen Wu, plus 10,000 cavalry under Cheng Meng, rushed out together.

The galloping sound of the war horses woke up the people in the Xiongnu stronghold in a hurry, and the Hun cavalry turned over on their horses before they even had time to put on their armor.

The elite cavalry under Chen Wu was like a tiger descending from the mountain, viciously pounced on the Xiongnu stronghold, and a group of Xiongnu soldiers were killed by a shot before they could even resist.

In just the first round of killing, more than 20,000 Xiongnu soldiers lost more than 3,000 people.

Under the desperate resistance of these infantry, more than 5,000 cavalry were finally raised and all of them were mounted.

Then these Hun cavalry whined and shouted, and rushed to the border cavalry.

Chen Wu glanced at it roughly, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes exuded a desire to kill, he turned around and said to the group of cavalry behind him.

"Brother, the meritorious deeds are today, kill!"

His roar spread throughout the cavalry of the border army, and a group of soldiers rushed towards the Hun cavalry as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

In just the first round of collisions, nearly a hundred brothers fell around Chen Wu, and nearly a thousand corpses fell on the Xiongnu side.

20,000 to 5,000, 100 for 1,000, Chen Wu was very dissatisfied with this result.

He turned his horse's head and rushed out again with his spear raised.

The commanders behind him also followed, and they rushed to the Hun cavalry without fear of death.

Their momentum made the Hun cavalry look uneasy, and even the war horses under their command had the idea of escaping.

The results of the first charge were still on the sidelines, and the corpses of thousands of comrades lay on the snow.

Looking at the bright red blood not far away, plus the border cavalry not far away, all the Hun cavalry had the idea of escaping.

As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, once the mind of escaping is born, they will no longer dare to exchange their lives for their lives, which makes the combat strength of the Hun cavalry sharply reduced by three percent.

As for the cavalry of the border army, they are bent on proving themselves, and they are all fierce and fearless of death.

Under the influence of the other, the momentum of the border army overwhelmed the Hun cavalry for a while.

As one cavalryman began to flee, the rest of the cavalry followed suit and began to flee in all directions.

For a time, the situation was reversed in an instant, and the border army began to pursue and kill the Hun cavalry.

Seeing this, the vanguard army under Chen Wu chose to rush and kill the stronghold.

Among them, there are also a large number of infantry who choose to resist stubbornly, and without cities and horses, the infantry is like a toy in front of the cavalry, and it is fragile.

The border army only needs to lift the speed of the war horse, and then hit it straight over, and the corpses of three or five Huns are picked up with a spear.

Seeing that the battle situation was one-sided, the Xiongnu rushed out of the extremely innate realm, wanting to take down Chen Wu and resolve the crisis.

Seeing this, the border army took out the Yuan-breaking crossbow and resolved the crisis.

Soon, the battle situation was cleared by the border army, and there were a total of 26,000 Hun soldiers in the stronghold, including 20,000 infantry and more than 6,000 cavalry.

According to Su Mo's direct gaze, except for the more than 100 cavalry specially released and used to report the news, the rest of the people were all killed.

The remaining 2,000 old and sick Confucians were left in the stronghold by Su Mo, and prepared some food for them to wait for the Xiongnu to rescue.

On the other side, Cheng Meng counted the battle report, and the whole person was extremely excited.

"General, you're rich again!"

"This stronghold seems to be under the command of King Zuoxian, and three million taels of gold, silver and jewelry alone have been found!"

"That's not counting some agate and glass, we're getting big this time!"

Su Mo didn't care about the gold and silver, he just wanted to know how much grain there was.

Cheng Meng turned out a battle report and said: "There are a total of 30,000 cattle and sheep, and more than 10,000 war horses!" ”

"There are also some weapons, armor, etc!"

As he spoke, as if he remembered something, he added, "By the way, a lot of food was also found, which should have been kept by them for backup!" That's about 200,000 stones! ”

200,000 stone of grain, enough for a month's ration for an army of 50,000.

This should be the materials that the Xiongnu have purchased and are ready to send to the royal court.

Because of the heavy snow blocking the road, he was temporarily stationed here, and was picked up by Su Mo and others.

In addition to being happy, Su Mo ordered the army to prepare, slaughter cattle and sheep, and reward the three armies!
