Zhang Beichen led the cavalry all the way to the Tule Valley.
He first sent a group of Donghu cavalry disguised as Huns cavalry, hoping to deceive the other party's trust, but King Changtu was too cautious, and he saw through this trick.
The two sides engaged in a brief exchange of fire outside the Tule Valley, with no outcome determined.
[You led troops to attack the Tule Valley many times, but failed because the opponent was well-defended! 】
The Xiongnu had been operating the Tule Valley for many years. When they were competing with the Donghu Dashan Yu Daji, Maotai built many large Outuo here. The defense here is comparable to the strong cities in the Central Plains!
Even though the Yan army is powerful in combat, they will not be able to defeat it for a while.
Zhang Beichen counted the days. If it dragged on for a few more months, Maotai's reinforcements would arrive.
When fighting on the grassland, Maotai will ultimately have the advantage, and the outcome will be even more uncertain at that time.
[You send a letter to Zhao Yun, asking her to lead the cavalry from Shanggu County to raid Longcheng and block Maotai's return route. 】
…
Zhao Yun has been training cavalry here in Shanggu County for several years.
After receiving Zhang Beichen's letter, she counted her troops and headed for the grassland.
…
Zhang Beichen is also thinking about how to quickly break through the Tule Valley.
Hitting hard from the front is not advisable. The Yan army is now deep in the grassland and lacks logistical supplies. If it suffers heavy losses and the offensive and defensive reverses, the Yan army is likely to be lost on the grassland.
Then the only thing left to do is to outsmart them.
Zhang Beichen observed the map. It was obvious that the map of Tule Valley had been standardized. All the main roads were built with Ou Tuo and guarded by the Huns. One after another, frontal breakthrough, it is simply to die!
Zhang Beichen decided on the river.
The Tule River Valley is naturally located by the Tule River. The Tule River has an inflection point here, forming a valley area with lush water and grass, suitable for nomadic herding.
"Brother Hao, will the Huns set up defenses by the river?" Zhang Beichen asked Hao Zhen.
Hao Zhen shook his head and said: "The river is naturally dangerous, why should we set up defenses?"
Zhang Beichen smiled when he heard what he said. The north was already dry and had fewer rivers, so the Huns paid little attention to water wars.
In the Central Plains, especially the south, water networks are densely covered, and some countries have sailors.
Yan State also trained sailors to defend Qi State from attacking from the sea.
If the sailors are allowed to attack from the river, it is possible to catch the enemy by surprise.
Zhang Beichen immediately looked for people in the army, and sure enough there were some soldiers who were familiar with water.
[You send soldiers who are familiar with water properties to explore the river. 】
A few days later, the soldier came back and reported: "Sir, it has been discovered. The enemy has very few defenses along the river, and many places are almost impossible to defend."
"Okay!" Zhang Beichen was overjoyed and ordered: "Immediately select those who are familiar with water in the army to form a special team."
[You temporarily formed a special team of sailors. On this day, heavy rain poured down, the Tule River swelled, and the river surface was completely white! 】
"This is the time!" Zhang Beichen ordered the special team to swim from the river to the Tule Valley, and at the same time led people to attack the Tule Valley from the front.
…
In the Tule Valley, because of the heavy rain outside, the Huns hid in Outuo and tents to rest.
King Changtu thought that the Yan army would definitely not attack today, so he relaxed his vigilance a little and was drinking and eating meat with a group of Xiongnu generals.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded outside.
"The Yan army is attacking!"
"Grandma, he won't rest even if it rains!" King Changtu cursed and ordered the generals: "Get ready to face the enemy!"
"yes!"
The generals mounted their horses, picked up their weapons, and returned to their respective areas to defend.
After the rain, the roads were muddy, which had a greater impact on the cavalry charge. The Yan army had been testing the edges of the Tule Valley and was not in a hurry to rush into the valley.
King Changtu smiled and said: "It seems that Zhang Beichen is really anxious! Such heavy rain is not suitable for cavalry charge at all."
"He saw that Shanyu was about to return for reinforcements and was eager to attack the city. We only need to hold on, and the Yan army will be defeated!"
So far, the Yan army has shown no signs of entering the valley.
…
In the Tule River, the Yan Army's special team was entering the valley along the river.
In order to save effort, they entered the water directly from upstream and then went down the river. In this way, the attack speed will be much faster.
Because of the heavy rain, the river surface was a lake, and the Huns were not very good at water. They did not realize that the Yan army would attack from the waterway, so no one noticed.
The special team entered the river valley smoothly and landed at the location they had explored from the beginning.
"Go in, create chaos, and send a signal to the army!" A soldier fired a burst of spiritual power, which formed a red light in the air.
Zhang Beichen saw the light and ordered: "Surprise the whole army and increase the offensive!"
"yes!"
The Yan army began to increase its attack intensity.
The Huns were about to consolidate their defenses, but they found that many Yan troops suddenly appeared inside. They took weapons and started to kill. Many Huns were caught off guard and were killed in chaos.
"What's going on?" King Changtu was furious, "How did the Yan army come in?"
"I don't know, every road is obviously guarded!"
"Didn't see them attacking!"
"It's chaos, they are trying to open a passage into the river valley!"
"Guard the outside, and quickly clear out the Yan army inside!" King Changtu personally led his men to kill them.
At this time, Zhang Beichen and Hao Zhen had already gone into battle in person.
A saint, a semi-saint, bombarded Outuo under the care of the cavalry formation and the internal response, and the Huns soldiers could not resist it!
[After half an hour, you finally broke through the enemy's defense line and entered the Tule Valley! 】
King Changtu did not clear out all the Yan troops at this time, because these Yan troops were always moving around the Tule River. Once they found something bad, they would immediately jump into the river to escape.
Not many of the Huns were proficient in water. Even if they were, they would be drowned in the river as soon as they entered the river!
King Chang Tu could still kill a few with his cultivation in the Holy Realm, but there was nothing the others could do.
"Your Majesty, the Yan army has entered!" His subordinates hurriedly came over to report.
"Damn it!" King Chang Tu could only give up killing these people and led his men to fight Zhang Beichen and Hao Zhen.
By this time, the rain had lightened up a lot.
King Changtu stopped Zhang Beichen and Hao Zhen.
"Zhang Beichen, the Tule Valley will be your burial place today!" King Changtu flew up to kill him, and Zhang Beichen was not afraid either.
[The battle in the holy realm was so intense that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. Although the Chang Tu King is extremely fierce, he was ultimately defeated by you and was seriously injured by you! 】
Zhang Beichen knocked Chang Tu Wang from mid-air to the ground, but Chang Tu Wang's beast form was still no match for him.
In the end, Zhang Beichen killed him with one shot.
As soon as King Changtu died, the Huns soldiers in the Tule Valley lost their backbone and began to flee in all directions.
[You lead the troops to continue the pursuit and quickly kill all the Hun soldiers in the Tule Valley, with a small number of Hun soldiers escaping. 】
…
"Hahahaha!" Hao Zhen couldn't help but laugh in the Tule Valley. "Now the Tule Valley is also ours. We can attack the Mobei Royal Court at any time. From now on, Maotai will not be able to sleep peacefully!"
"Now we only need to join forces with Zhao Yun, and we can directly attack the Mobei Royal Court!" Zhang Beichen said.
…
In Dragon City, Zhao Yun led the cavalry to empty the place. Under her sword was the body of Hu Yanxiao, the first warrior in King Zuoxie's account.
Hu Yanxiao fought with Zhao Yun outside Shanggu County and was slightly defeated, so he led his troops back to Longcheng to rest.
He didn't expect Zhao Yun to be so bold, and he also knew the location of Dragon City accurately, so he directly attacked him from a long distance and destroyed it!
"General, we have destroyed the Huns' altar. What should we do next?" the subordinate asked.
"Continue going north!" Zhao Yun looked north with cold eyes, "Join forces with the Prime Minister and destroy the Huns!"
"yes!"
…
Maotai finally rushed back to Mobei Royal Court, but the news that came made his face gloomy.
Both Boermu and King Changtu were killed, and both river valleys were lost!
Now the Yan army formed a strong force and actually came to surround his royal court!
He was so cool, when had he ever been so embarrassed?
"Your Majesty, Zhang Beichen is leading 100,000 cavalry, and Zhao Yun is leading 100,000 cavalry, coming towards the royal court. They are expected to arrive within ten days!" A spy came to report the situation.
"These Yan people don't take us seriously at all!" The Xiongnu generals were eager to go to war and kill them!
"Don't underestimate the enemy!" Maotai warned.
He has received the battle report, even the Wolf Cavalry was unable to suppress the Yan Cavalry head-on. Now that there are so many enemies, if we are more careless, the Xiongnu may really be destroyed.
On the same day, Maotai went to Langjuxu Mountain to offer sacrifices to the beast god.
After offering the sacrifice, Maotai fell asleep.
In his sleep, he seemed to see a golden animal head appearing in front of him.
"Dear beast god!" Maotai knelt on the ground respectfully, "Your people ask for your protection. The Yan army has already reached the grassland!"
The beast god asked: "Maotai, are you scared?"
"No, I have never been afraid!" Maotai shouted.
The beast god said: "Very good, just go and fight, and I will protect you."
After speaking, it spit out a drop of golden blood from its mouth, and the blood flew towards Maotai.
Maotai's consciousness suddenly woke up, and he discovered that there was indeed a drop of golden blood floating in the air next to him. It exudes divine light all over, making people afraid to look directly at it!
"Thank you Beast God for the gift!" Maotai saluted respectfully before swallowing the golden blood in one gulp.
He felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of magma. The hot temperature and fierce energy made him roar up to the sky. His roar was like the roar of a beast, with hundreds of beasts lurking in a radius of hundreds of miles!
Maotai's body grew pale golden hair, a horn sprouted from his head, and his eyes also turned pale golden.
"Such a powerful force!" Maotai clenched his fists, and he could feel the surging energy rushing through his blood vessels!
"Zhang Beichen, your death has come!" Maotai was full of confidence at this time. When a person's strength reaches a certain level, he can also affect the situation of the battle!
…
Zhang Beichen and Zhao Yun finally met.
On the grassland, Zhang Beichen saw that sassy figure at a glance.
Zhao Yun is dressed in military uniform, with long hair tied up, sharp eyes, a straight waist, and a pair of long legs tightly holding the horse's back.
Zhang Beichen flew directly over and landed on Zhao Yun's horse.
"You are finally here, I want to die as my husband!" Zhang Beichen hugged Zhao Yun and chuckled.
"So many people are watching!" Zhao Yun said.
"They don't dare!" Zhang Beichen turned around, and sure enough, all the generals had the good sense to leave.
Zhao Yun turned around and kissed Zhang Beichen.
[You join forces together and prepare to attack Mobei Royal Court. Maotai gathers your troops and prepares for them. 】
…
On the endless grassland, a figure was walking slowly.
Wearing the coarse cloth clothes of an ascetic, she walked towards the north step by step.
A group of Hun cavalry discovered her.
These people were deserters who had been defeated by the Yan army. They gathered together and plundered other small tribes.
"There's someone ahead!"
To them, people mean wealth and food!
The Hun cavalry rushed over and surrounded her.
A leader stopped in front of her, pointed his whip at her, and shouted: "Raise your head!"
She slowly raised her head and looked at the visitor, her face expressionless.
"She's a real girl, she's so beautiful!" The Xiongnu leader's eyes lit up, this woman is really extremely beautiful!
If the most beautiful woman in their tribe were in front of her, she would be in a state of darkness!
A group of Hun soldiers suddenly became excited, never expecting to encounter such a good thing.
Without saying a word, the Xiongnu leader picked up the horse's rope and tried to lasso the other party.
Unexpectedly, when the rope was thrown towards her, it took an inexplicable turn and was lost.
The woman said: "How far is it from Mobei Royal Court?"
Although she spoke the language of the Central Plains, several Huns soldiers could understand her.
"Mobei Royal Court?" the Xiongnu general said with a smile, "There is a war going on there, do you want to die? What a pity, why don't we give it to our brothers!"
"That's right!" Several Huns soldiers already laughed lewdly.
"Anyone who is rude to me will die," the woman said calmly.
"Return to me, who do you think you are?" The Xiongnu general was about to catch her again, but the next moment, he found that the world in his eyes was spinning.
"What's going on?" There was a puzzled expression in his eyes, and then it turned into extreme horror, because he saw his own body!
On his body, the head has disappeared, not only him, but also several other Huns soldiers.
And that woman's figure has disappeared at the end of the horizon!
"It's the Holy Land!" This was the last thought in the Hun soldier's mind.
…
Zhang Beichen finally led his troops to the vicinity of Mobei Royal Court.
Although this is a royal court, there is no city, only large tents.
The royal court of the Xiongnu would also move places along with the nomads.
But this time, Maotai did not order the migration, but waited here for Zhang Beichen's arrival.
After Maotai lost his troops in two river valleys, he still had more than 200,000 cavalry.
Zhang Beichen's current troops also number 200,000, which is a comparable force.
"Zhang Beichen, we meet again!" Mao Taifei was in the air with a cold tone, "Last time you deceived me and took away the land of Donghu. Now, I want to get it back together!"
"Whatever means the Great Chanyu has, just use them!" Zhang Beichen was not afraid at all. He had fought against Maotai many times and knew his cavalry tactics and personal combat methods very well.
Even if his level is lower than the opponent's, he still has more than a 50% chance of winning!
