"Your Highness is truly a man of God!"
This was the first time that Northern General Wood had such a sincere evaluation of a person.
In less than two months, the Xiongnu's seemingly strong power has already made people feel like it is falling apart.
In addition to the leader of Yantuotuo, the leaders of many tribes have promised Liu Qi that they will serve as internal responders or assist Daqing when sending troops.
In addition, even the leader of the Jin tribe, A Guyan, has promised Qingguo that he will help Qingguo and overthrow the Xiongnu Chanyu at the appropriate time.
Not only that, this guy Dakai, Wu Lan's most trusted minister, actually gave Liu Qi an unexpected surprise at this most critical moment.
After receiving many benefits from Daqing, and seeing that the Xiongnu's internal power was beginning to disintegrate, he instigated rebellion again, and single-handedly promoted Oqigitu, the current King of Zuo Ri Zhu.
He promised Liu Qi that he would defect to Qing the moment Daqing marched into the country, and he also imagined that Daqing would be able to give him high-ranking officials and generous salaries, as well as a more lofty status.
Of course, Liu Qi agreed to such a request without thinking.
At this time, Liu Qi stood in Guanyi's room, looking at the falling snow outside while stroking Zhao Wenhui's white hands.
"Wen Hui, after waiting for so long, it's finally time to end."
...
Now, the situation of strength and weakness between the Xiongnu and Qing armies has been completely reversed. Liu Qi, Bai Qi, and Lu Liang, through a series of abnormal operations and reverse thinking, gradually forced the Xiongnu Chanyu, who was originally extremely powerful and clinging to the city and waiting for work, into a desperate situation.
This feeling is like simmering beef slowly over low heat, and now it’s finally time to cook it over high heat to reduce the juice.
But now, Ulan, who is stationed in the city, is still completely unaware of the situation of the Huns tribe under his opponent, blinded by Dakai.
Although he also knew that many tribes under his command were already quite dissatisfied without winter reserves.
But he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet.
The only thing that made him regret was the trade with South Korea. He still yelled and cursed from time to time. The merchants of the Tubo Kingdom couldn't believe that they were the ones who brought trouble to the Xiongnu.
After this cold winter is over, Hatir will definitely be allowed to lead the army and teach this Tubo country a lesson.
And just when Shan Yu Ulan was still thinking about revenge against the Tubo Kingdom, he didn't know that the danger was quietly approaching...
It was the end of February. In the early hours of the morning.
Bai Qi, who had everything ready, under the instruction of the prince.
He personally led 6,000 Qing army elite cavalry, combined with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from various Xiongnu tribes, and launched a surprise attack on Shanyu Wulan in Shengtian City.
The other chief general of the Qing army, Qin Wei, followed Bai Qi's previous instructions and tripled the number of flag bearers among the generals. As a result, in the snowy night, under the light of thousands of torches, the number of Bai Qi's army seemed to suddenly increase several times.
At this time, Shan Yu Wulan of Shengtian City, after hearing this series of news, could be said to be dumbfounded, like a frightened bird.
From beginning to end, all his judgments about Qingguo were wrong. He fell into every trap set by Liu Qi and Bai Qi with almost no ability to resist.
To be honest, although Wulan can be regarded as an outstanding person, in the past, he conquered the east and west, not only unified the tribes in the grassland, but also defeated the weak Xiongnu. It has become stronger and has become a prince in essence.
However, he miscalculated one thing, that is, his opponent was too strong and too sophisticated!
At this time, he saw the huge formation of the Qing army on the top of the city, which further confirmed his judgment.
Bai Qi had indeed lied to me before. The Qing army had already arrived in overwhelming numbers. Even now, Ulan is still in the dream that Bai Qi weaved for him.
Nowadays, the current Zuori King's army, Origotu, has rebelled, and the 60,000 soldiers and horses outside the royal city are no longer under control.
The combined foreign legions of the various tribes numbered more than 50,000 people, and there was also the Daqing army that he thought was overwhelming.
What about Ulan's hands? He only has less than 90,000 troops and horses that he can control.
He believed that if he continued to guard the royal city, there would be only one outcome, and it would be death.
So Ulan immediately made what he felt was the right choice and retreated!
After arriving north of Mohe and joining Hatir's army, there will be an army of more than 200,000, which can completely reorganize the army and fight again. This is the only hope for a comeback.
In this way, Bai Qi drove Ulan out of Tiansheng City with only 6,000 troops brought by Daqing.
In fact, in the final analysis, it was Ulan himself who scared him away, thus giving Bai Qi a God-given opportunity to occupy the Xiongnu Tiansheng City.
But Wulan never expected that he would run away all the way.
As a result, at a certain point on the path, he fell into another trap set by Bai Qi in advance.
Ambushes led by Han Zhong and Wood were everywhere, and the elite cavalry of the Qing army, which had been ambushing for a long time, surrounded them from all directions.
Groups of uniformed cavalry launched a huge wave-like charge towards the Huns army. The Qing army's crossbowmen and horse archers fired a waterfall of arrows at the Xiongnu army.
The Ulan army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Its elite bodyguards were killed to pieces, and this was Bai Qi's main course. The ones before were just appetizers.
As the battle continues, the truth is: rather than saying that the Qing army defeated Ulan, it is better to say that Ulan himself defeated himself.
He lost to his inner demon, and the creator of this inner demon was Bai Qi.
Of course, there is also the hidden master who has been pulling the strings behind the scenes, Liu Qi.
And in Daqing, preparations were in full swing to close the net.
Outside Pingcheng, inside Shenwei Camp,
"Your Highness! Something bad has happened!"
Liu Qi was still watching the military report ahead, when suddenly a soldier rushed into the tent in panic.
Liu Qi frowned slightly.
"Don't panic, tell me if you have anything to do."
The soldier swallowed hard and then took out a letter.
"Your Highness, this is given to you by the Korean envoy. He is in Pingcheng now. Let me tell you..."
"say what?"
"Say, South Korea is now an ally of the Huns. If the Qing Kingdom insists on going to war with the Huns, South Korea will not mind and send troops for the Huns!"
Hearing such words, the generals in the big tent sighed.
At such a critical moment, South Korea dared to intervene.
But it has to be said that they intervened at the very right time. If South Korea intervenes now, the situation in Daqing and the defeat of the Xiongnu will most likely be reversed.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Liu Qi, after reading the letter, smiled slightly and directly threw the letter into the fire.
"It's just that the Huns are restless. South Korea still wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble. Since South Korea and the Huns are so good, let's fight!"
It's easy to say. Now, I don't know how many troops South Korea has sent. Even if it is not many, there must be at least 100,000 people.
Coupled with Ulan's remaining troops and his guards relying on Hatir, it seems that winning this battle will not be easy.
But what everyone didn't know was that Liu Qi had expected it!
