Chapter 63: The Battle of the Royal Court is a great victory

Under the cover of night, Chunsheng led a hundred soldiers to quietly surround the gate of the royal court of King Youxian (about in the present-day South Gobi Province of the Mongolian People's Republic).

That night, King Youxian was holding a banquet to celebrate the victory of plundering Shuofang, and the dignitaries gathered together, and King Youxian himself was drunk!

Seeing this, the soldier asked Chunsheng: "General, do you want to attack?"

Chunsheng said: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, our second team is marching at night, it is estimated that it will arrive early tomorrow morning, we will wait for them before starting to act, now tell everyone to rest in place, recuperate their spirits, we will be in the second half of the night, about the fifth watch, they are still sleeping soundly, we will start attacking, then they will be in a hurry, we will fight, rest for a while, the large army will come, and then the large army will kill the enemy again!"

The advance troops rested and hid in place, waiting for the spring birth order!

Although it was already summer, the summer night in Shuofang was still a little cold! Chunsheng sat on the ground, wrapped his clothes tightly, and he stood up to see how the soldiers were doing. The fighters endured the cold and drowsiness, but they were still full of confidence and high morale. Chunsheng tells everyone to eat some dry food and get ready to fight!

Wait until the fifth watch, and it will be dawn in a while.

Harusheng ordered everyone to light torches, mount their horses, and start attacking the city.

The soldiers on duty guarding the city did not even make a sound in the sleepiness, they were killed by a few arrows from the soldiers of Chunsheng, and then Chunsheng climbed over the wall into the city, opened the gate, and more than a dozen soldiers defending the city were all taken by the Chunsheng army, Chunsheng led the troops into the city, and first arrived at the first camp of the Hun troops defending the city, it was very quiet, they were really relaxed, the people on duty slept sleepy-eyed, and even thought that the Chunsheng troops were their own people, and Chunsheng took the soldiers to cut wildly, as if cutting vegetables.

Then Chunsheng ordered the soldiers to throw torches over when they saw the camp tent, and all of a sudden the whole barracks fell into a sea of fire, and the Hun soldiers cried wolves, ran around, and were not neatly dressed, and did not bring any weapons.

It just so happened that the 100 soldiers of Chunsheng killed one by one, and killed a bunch of them. In the panic, the entire garrison was almost completely annihilated by Chunsheng.

The day was bright, the night marching troops also arrived, Chunsheng sent people to meet at the city gate, the large army immediately spread out, marched into all the Xiongnu military camps to start the second wave of battles, and there was a strong army straight to the lair of the right virtuous king.

The guerrilla general Su Jian, the strong crossbow general Li Fu, the cavalry general Gongsun He, and the light car general Li Cai arrived one after another, wave after wave, round after round, surrounded the various Xiongnu military camps, and continued to attack!

When Wei Qing arrived, the battle of the royal court was raging, shouting all day long, and the Hun soldiers were basically unable to look like Han Dynasty soldiers falling from the sky, and the battle reached its peak at this time!

The Han army killed the enemy more and more bravely, and the Xiongnu had already collapsed!

The Xiongnu army of the entire royal court was not prepared at all, and could not organize the battle at all, it was completely chaotic, and was beaten by this wave of battles, and the generals themselves began to flee, and the soldiers were even more six gods and no masters, and they were colliding with things and hiding all over the city.

The Han army was so strong that they killed him without leaving a single piece of armor, and blood flowed like a river! Many soldiers disarmed and knelt down and simply surrendered.

King Youxian woke up from his dream, and his subordinates reported: "Lord Wang, the city gate has been lost, the garrison camp has been lost, and the whole city is in chaos! The Han army has been killed in the prince's mansion!"

King Youxian was shocked, when he heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong, and when he heard it again, he realized that it was true, this Han army part-time job is like a heavenly soldier, and it is incredible that he arrived in the local area so quickly. He had no time to resist, so he hurriedly took his concubine and led hundreds of elite horsemen to break through. The elite cavalry of the courtyard is indeed a gathering of masters, and ordinary Han soldiers are basically not opponents, they quickly fought their way out to protect the right sage king and escaped all the way!

When Wei Qing heard that King Youxian had escaped, he immediately ordered the light cavalry captains Guo Cheng and Qiusheng to lead the army to pursue them north.

Guo Cheng, Qiusheng and others chased for hundreds of miles, and found that King Youxian had indeed fled far away, and seeing that they could not catch up, the two discussed, afraid that they would chase down because they had too few soldiers and the enemy's hinterland, and it would be troublesome to be ambushed by mistake, so they returned.

In this battle, the Han army captured 15,000 men and women of the Youxian Wang's department, including more than 10 people of King Pi (Xiongnu Xiaowang), hundreds of thousands of livestock, and won a complete victory.

The Eastern Route Army led by Li Xi and Zhang Cigong also won a decisive victory.

How Chunsheng arrived at the royal court so quickly, Wei Qing didn't understand, and he didn't understand it when he asked the soldiers, but Wei Qingshen felt extremely happy that he had won a fierce general with both wisdom and bravery!

When the news of the Han army's triumph reached the imperial court, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to send an envoy to greet him and reward him on the spot!

When the Han army returned to the border fortress, the envoy sent rushed to the army with the general's seal letter in hand, worshiped Wei Qing as the general, and sealed 8,700 households, and all the generals were under the command of Wei Qing.

The rest of the generals, including spring, summer, and autumn, were also rewarded.

In order to reward Wei Qing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even named Wei Qing's three infant sons as marquis, respectively named Yichun Marquis (Wei Yan), Ming Anhou (Wei Budo), and Fagan Marquis (Wei Deng).

Wei Qing refused, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty resolutely did not allow it.

Even though Wei Qing was so humble, it still made a person jealous, he felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ignored his merits and limited his ability, and the good deeds and credits were recorded on Wei Qing's head, and he also promoted Wei Qing to be called a general, he was older than Wei Qing and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, why was his position lower than Wei Qing? This person who is strongly dissatisfied with Wei Qing is the general Li Guang, once he is envious, jealous and hateful of Wei Qing, it will bring Wei Qing trouble, which directly led to Li Guang's eldest son almost stabbing Wei Qing to death, this is a later story, we will not show it for the time being!
