Before Liu Yu and others arrived at the battlefield, they had already heard the sound of fighting on the battlefield ahead.
When Liu Yu saw the scene of the battlefield in the distance, he was completely stunned.
Thousands of people crowded the avenue, which was not open to the public.
These people had completely lost the desire to fight, and everyone was scrambling to squeeze into a gap near the mountains to the south.
Behind them, thousands of Han soldiers were driving forward in a dense and strict formation.
"These Hulu are completely afraid to fight."
Zhao Kun, the guard general who followed Liu Yu, said.
"Not only do I not dare to fight anymore, I am simply discouraged."
Liu Yu saw that these Xiongnu soldiers had completely lost their flag formation. Everyone was fighting for a way to escape, and they did not hesitate to crowd and trample each other.
The Han troops arrayed behind them did not press too hard.
"Your Majesty, this opportunity cannot be missed. Let the general go up and kill him!"
Zhao Kun immediately asked for orders. At this time, Wu Xin's troops in front were still very cautious and did not launch a large-scale pursuit.
"good!"
Liu Yu immediately agreed happily.
Zhao Kun was overjoyed when he heard this. After leaving a cavalry to guard Liu Yu, he immediately led the remaining cavalry to line up in a hurry.
As loud horns sounded from behind, the Hun soldiers who had no intention of fighting immediately fell into complete collapse and panic.
"Failed!"
"Run!"
Tens of thousands of people soon experienced more brutal pushing and shoving, and the blood-curdling stampede intensified.
As the Han cavalry rushed behind them in an instant, a large number of unorganized Xiongnu soldiers died tragically under the hoofs of the horses.
The Hun soldiers in the middle could neither flee forward nor dare to turn back to resist. Many of them turned to the nearby ravine with pine and cypress bushes, no longer caring about the rugged terrain.
Some brave and courageous people saw that they were unable to advance or retreat, so they simply held swords and guns and tried to fight the pursuers.
However, when faced with the well-organized Han infantry and cavalry, these scattered counterattacks were quickly and completely crushed.
The sounds of tragic fighting and wailing were directly transmitted several miles away.
Hu Yanyan looked at the battlefield behind him with a sad face, and a feeling of heart bleeding surged into his chest.
"General, let's leave quickly! The army of thieves is coming."
A general came running over and said in a hurry.
Hu Yanyan looked further into the distance, and could vaguely see a patchwork of Han army flags appearing in his field of vision.
"The Black Dragon Flag of the Imperial Han Dynasty."
Hu Yanyan whispered to himself.
He knew that the Qingzhou bandits all called their flag the 'Huanghan Xuanlong Banner', just like Emperor Guangwen Liu Yuan called himself Huanghan.
However, the world is so big that it cannot accommodate two Han countries.
Starting from today, the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom have completely lost the possibility of recovery.
The only thing Hu Yanyan could do was to take away as many soldiers as possible.
"The thief's plot finally succeeded!"
"The general's strong man cut off his wrist. If we stay there to fight the thieves, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape even these people."
The general next to him noticed Hu Yanyan's mood and immediately offered words of comfort.
"Today's revenge will definitely be repaid in the future!"
After Hu Yanyan finished speaking, he turned his head and no longer looked at the Hun soldiers who were engaged in the killing.
"Let's go back to Chang'an!"
After Hu Yanyan finished speaking, he rode away. When the tens of thousands of cavalrymen behind him saw the main force of the Han army pursuing them, they were no longer willing to wait any longer and followed Hu Yanyan to the west to escape for their lives.
Just as these Hun cavalry left, many Hun soldiers escaped through the narrow mountain roads.
In the canyon at the foot of the nearby mountain, many Huns soldiers also escaped through the dense forests and shrubs. The canyon, which was originally full of rocks and vegetation, was trampled by these defeated soldiers to create a road.
However, these escaped Huns soldiers would not really escape.
The following Han army pursuers will soon kill all these fish that have slipped through the net.
Hu Yanyan and others naturally understood the fate of these people, but he could only take away all the cavalry, and was powerless to deal with the infantry who lacked horses.
In fact, even the escape of these cavalry was not smooth sailing.
As the clouds piled up in the sky, the cold wind of winter wreaked havoc on their bodies and minds all the time.
They must try their best to get away from the chasing troops behind them before dark. Even if the Han army's cavalry is not too many, they must stay as far away as possible.
Hu Yanyan led the cavalry and ran all the way. With great difficulty, he could no longer see the traces of the pursuers behind him, but most of the day had passed.
He ordered the entire army to rest temporarily. After all, the riders could still continue to persevere, but most of the horses were already weak. If they were driven regardless of their desperate efforts, they would probably die suddenly in the middle of the journey.
"General, we just lost a dozen more troops!"
A general came over with a gloomy expression.
"Where?" Hu Yanyan asked with a frown.
"Just three miles behind, there are sentries from behind our palace."
After hearing what the general said, Hu Yanyan already understood.
This must be the result of the pride of the Han people around them. They tried their best to ignore those Han people in Wubao along the way.
But now these powerful Han people in Wubao have become more courageous, and the Hun cavalry wandering around the periphery have been attacked several times.
Counting the dozen soldiers and horses lost this time, there are already almost forty or fifty people.
"These thieves! Let the sons and daughters be careful!"
Hu Yanyan also said with some helplessness that these Wubao heroes did not rush up to fight, but often made sneak attacks on the Huns' cavalry when they were resting, or on the rangers who were patrolling around on guard.
Hu Yanyan and others all wanted to escape back to Chang'an as soon as possible and would not attack these powerful Wubao men who were like flies.
However, Hu Yanyan and others did not want to pay attention to these powerful Wubao, but invisibly made those powerful Wubao think that they were easier to bully.
After Hu Yanyan and others took a short rest, before they had gone far, the rangers in front hurriedly came to greet them.
"General, there is a group of powerful thieves ahead, blocking the road!"
"How many troops are there?" Hu Yanyan asked with a gloomy face.
These powerful dock owners had previously obeyed the Huns' army like dogs, but now they were bolder. Not only did they dare to sneak attack them, they also dared to block the road and intercept them.
"There are quite a few people, almost five to six thousand people!"
"It seems that the thief was well prepared." Hu Yanyan said.
It is absolutely impossible for one powerful family or several powerful people to gather such a large number of soldiers and horses.
Hu Yanyan immediately led his troops forward and decided to crush those powerful soldiers who dared to stop him.
When he arrived with his army, he found that although there were many powerful soldiers and horses, they all had the courage to fight and were not at all panicked by the approaching Xiongnu army.
"General, let's forget it. These thieves must have been prepared."
A general ran up to Hu Yanyan and said.
There was also a broken half arrow stuck in his shoulder.
Obviously, in the test just now, the Huns cavalry did not take advantage of the crossbows and spears of the powerful soldiers and horses on the opposite side.
The cavalry Hu Yanyan just sent out was just for testing.
Now it seems that these powerful soldiers and horses must have been prepared for a long time, and they will never get out of the way without going through a battle.
However, even if Hu Yanyan and others defeated these troops, it would only be a waste of time and energy.
After all, it is their nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.
"Let's take a detour and retreat!"
Upon seeing this, Hu Yanyan led his army to take a detour without hesitation.
The road to Chang'an is not just the one in front of you.
After seeing the retreat of these Huns cavalry, the powerful soldiers and horses who were waiting in full formation burst into cheers.
If it weren't for the surrounding horses and fences, many people would even want to pursue them.
Hearing these heroic cheers that used to cower like quails, Hu Yanyan was extremely angry.
When he led his army to take a detour, they did not go very far.
On the road ahead, another group of powerful soldiers and horses appeared along the road.
The number of these people is far less than the previous group, only one or two thousand people at most.
"Hey, the Hulu in front of you, if you don't surrender quickly, maybe you can be saved from death!"
These powerful men were waiting in formation. When they saw Hu Yanyan's army arriving, a young general wearing black armor and holding a spear eight feet long jumped up in front of the formation and shouted loudly towards Hu Yanyan and others.
"Surrender and avoid death!"
The young general raised the eight-foot-long spear in his hand and let out another loud shout.
"Surrender and avoid death!"
"Surrender and avoid death!"
The powerful tribesmen behind him also followed up with bursts of shouts.
Hu Yanyan and the others had already held their breath, but now they saw that only one or two thousand people in front of them dared to be so arrogant, they could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts.
However, Hu Yanyan decided to use his reputation to scare these powerful private soldiers. It would be best if he could make them escape without fighting.
After all, Hu Yanyan saw that these thieves had placed many horses, roadblocks and spikes around. Just pulling out these obstacles would take a lot of time.
If the Han soldiers behind them came to kill them, they would be in danger.
Hu Yanyan sent people and led the cavalry to sneak around to both sides, preparing to attack the thieves' flanks at any time. At the same time, he ordered his soldiers to step forward and shout.
"General Hu Yan, the cavalry general of the Han Dynasty, is here. The thieves in front of you, get out of the way quickly, otherwise they will crush your corpses!"
A Hun soldier shouted loudly from the front.
"Bah, Hulu!"
The young man wearing black armor and holding a spear first cursed and then shouted loudly.
"Hu Yanyan, the thief, your grandfather, I am Yang Zun. If you don't dismount and surrender, I will crush your corpses!"
"Surrender quickly!"
The troops behind him immediately started shouting again.
"Yang Zun? It turns out he is a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family."
Hu Yanyan said with some disdain that the Hongnong Yang family was indiscriminately killed by the Demon Queen Jia Nanfeng in his early years and his vitality was severely damaged. After the Xiongnu Han Kingdom occupied Guanzhong, the Hongnong Yang family did not do anything, and even obediently paid for food and sincerity.
Today, it seems that most of these Yang family's disciples have gone crazy because they dared to block their 10,000-strong army with only 2,000 people.
Even with those carbine guns and roadblocks deployed early, could they really stop themselves?
"court death!"
Hu Yanyan turned to the generals beside him and continued.
"Don't waste time, destroy these thieves quickly!"
These Xiongnu generals had been impatient for a long time, and now that they had received the order, they immediately commanded their own troops and prepared to launch an attack.
After seeing that the Xiongnu army was indeed preparing to attack, Yang Zun, who was trying to attract hatred in front of the battle, was not only overjoyed.
"As long as Thief Hu catches up, that's half the battle."
"As long as one or two thousand barbarians are intercepted and killed, my Hongnong Yang family will be able to rise again in the new dynasty."
Back then, my ancestor Yang Xi laid the foundation with a single thigh. Now if he can capture one or two thousand heads of barbarians and restore the prestige of his ancestors' generals, it would be regarded as God's will.
