The war machine of the Daqian Dynasty was activated, and it took only half a month for the 300,000 troops to be assembled. At the same time, grain and grass from all over the country were also delivered to the designated places.

Because the consumption of grain and grass transportation is very large, in the Huaiguo era, Huaiguo built a granary near some convenient transportation, galloping hubs, and garrisoned by large armies, and transported the tax grain and grass of the surrounding counties here. When it is necessary to mobilize a large army, it will be allocated nearby.

The advantage of this is that it can save time and reduce the consumption of grain and grass transportation, but the disadvantage is that it is prone to corruption, and once the local army rebels and seizes the granary base, it will cause serious consequences.

Therefore, Daqian strengthened the system of inspecting the imperial history, and these granaries were the places to focus on. At the same time, in order to prevent the officials stationed in the granary from favoritism and irregularities, they will also be replaced once every four years.

The Xiongnu infestation was vast, from Yan to the west to Qin, this time from Jinling to gather 100,000 troops, the remaining 200,000 were in Qin and Yan Zhao. Daqian is not known for cavalry, and the land of Yan and Zhao is only 100,000, and many of them are mounted infantry.

Before leaving, Wang Luo asked, "Can the general of Zhengbei be sure of a big victory?" ”

Li Mu understood Wang Luo's thoughts, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to defeat the Huns this time, but it is impossible to defeat the Huns in one battle. ”

"Your Majesty is not in the Northland, I don't know the way of life of the Xiongnu, they live in the form of tribes, and they are not like the cities of the Zhuxia Nations, and it is difficult to find their main force."

"Unless the Hun army enters the hinterland of the land of Zhuxia, we will have a chance to wipe it out, otherwise it will be too difficult to find the main force of the Huns on the vast grassland."

Wang Luo frowned when he heard this: "Does that Qing have a strategy to destroy the Huns?" ”

"If the treasury is full, there are 100,000 elite horsemen, one person and three horses, sufficient logistics, and a few years of sweeping the grassland, you can defeat the Huns."

The strength of the Hun soldiers is actually not strong, the difficulty of the army to attack the grassland is very high, first of all, the guide, above the grassland is the vast grassland, there is no road, and there are no conspicuous coordinates, it is easy to get lost.

The second is that the Hu tribe is a perennial migration, and if they want to attack the grassland, the most difficult thing is to find these Huns.

Wang Luo understood that if he wanted to completely defeat the Huns, he had no chance, unless he was willing to use the Mandate of Heaven artifact to make the grassland fall in a blizzard.

The grassland area is huge, and it will take at least a few to cover all the grasslands, but he has already used the Heavenly Mandate Artifact, and if he uses it again, he will basically die on the spot.

Since it is impossible to destroy the Huns in one battle, this time I will hurt him hard and teach the Huns a lesson.

Li Muqin led the army north, and through Chidao, the army arrived at the border of Zhao in only one month.

The land of Yan and Zhao has a special terrain in defending against the Hu people in the north. The Yanshan Mountains, the Taihang Mountains, and the Luliang Mountains are all northern barriers, so the Hu people are not a flat river when they go south.

The army went north, the Huns came faster than expected, Li Mu's army had just passed through Jinyang to the north, and the Huns had already crossed the border pass and entered the land of Zhuxia.

The vanguard of the army soon encountered some Huns, the two sides fought fiercely for a while, the Huns and the Daqian cavalry fought, the casualties were not small, worried about being entangled by the Daqian, patted the horse and left.

When Li Mu learned that the Huns had actually entered Yandi, he immediately divided half of the cavalry into two parts, and the soldiers were divided into two roads to cut off the back road of the Huns.

Because there are many mountains in the north, the terrain here can be said to be a bamboo in the chest, there are not many roads, and there are beacon towers in various key places, combined with the information of the secret guards, it is quickly judged that the main force of the Huns is most likely to gather. Then the edict ordered the armies to rush to the predetermined positions.

The 300,000 troops are all elites, and the armor rate is even more than 70%. Among them, there are tens of thousands of crossbow troops and vine armor army elites. Facing head-on, the Huns were not opponents at all.

"Brothers, a good man should immediately look for a marquis, a wife and a son, only in this dynasty, kill with me!"

Meng Tian led the army to attack, the earth-shattering shouts resounded through the heavens and the earth, the Huns charged left and right, leading the bow and cavalry to and fro like the wind, but the army of the Great Cadres stood still.

Li Mu commanded the army to approach slowly, calmly responding to the battle, and the cavalry of the Huns did not dare to attack the army formation at all. With the passage of time, the Huns suddenly found that the area of activity was getting smaller and smaller, and at some point, the Daqian army actually formed an encirclement.

The Huns sensed that something was wrong and immediately wanted to break through the gap and evacuate. The cavalry equipment of the Huns was not good, more than ninety percent of the Huns were equipped with simple wallets, and even many Huns did not even have leather armor.

Iron armor is very rare, and arrows are mostly made of bone or bronze. The only advantage is that there are many horses, which come and go like the wind.

Seeing that the Huns wanted to escape, how could Li Mu give them this opportunity?

There are also 100,000 cavalry in the Central Plains, but they can't even do one person and two horses, and the quality of the war horses is not as good as that of the Huns. At the beginning, Huai relied on horseback infantry to dominate the world.

"Yang Pingbo, you lead five thousand cavalry, raid from the left, and cooperate with General Meng Tian to block the Xiongnu army."

"Xu Chengbo, you lead five thousand cavalry to raid from the right side, and cooperate with the infantry to prevent the Huns from breaking through from the right side."

Wei Ran immediately led the cavalry to charge from the left.

One military order after another was issued, Li Mu's strong command ability was displayed, and the Daqian soldiers completely showed their fangs at this moment.

"Quick! Rush out! Can't be surrounded by them! ”

When the Huns saw that the Daqian army wanted to encircle, they immediately rushed to send a large army to break through. It's just that by this time, it's already too late.

"Since you're here, let's stay!" Seeing the Huns constantly attacking the military formation, Li Mu said with a cold face.

"I have long heard that the general of Zhengbei is like a god, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name! In this battle, the 100,000 Huns are afraid that the whole army will be wiped out. Wang Yun exclaimed.

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "The military advisor has praised it, Mu has the trust of His Majesty, let Mu lead an army of 300,000, this battle will definitely let the Huns know that it is powerful, so that the Hu people dare not go south to herd horses!" ”

"I wish to follow the general of the north to pacify the Huns!" The generals shouted excitedly.

With the encirclement of the army, 100,000 Huns could no longer care about the dead and wounded, and rushed into the large cadre army array, but Li Mu had already expected it, and sent the army to suppress the formation, and thousands of cavalry rushed into the formation, but they crashed headlong on the crossbow array, and thousands of crossbowmen continued to shoot, and the crossbow arrows rained down.

The leather armor of the Huns was like papier-mévelope, which was easily penetrated, and the Huns fell like mowing grass under the Great Crossbow Array.

Thousands of cavalry charged to the death, and before they could rush within thirty paces, most of them were killed and wounded, and the rest of the Huns collapsed directly and fled in disarray.
