The cold moon is shining brightly, hanging diagonally on the branches.
Outside the city, Tian You led people to sneak close to the city.
The Han army at the top of the city was divided into three columns, one in front and one in front, one in front and the other in retreat, still shooting at the Huns below.
Suddenly, Tian You saw a large number of Han troops at the top of the city. They stopped shooting arrows, changed their formation, and all descended from the city.
Tian You's heart sank, knowing that most of the Huns soldiers who could be shot in the city had been shot to death.
The Han army jumped down from the city to start mopping up the remaining Xiongnu soldiers at close range.
This shows that the situation of the war has been decided and it is unlikely that the Huns soldiers will repeat it again.
"How come it's so fast?"
Tian You hesitated instead. If there were not many Xiongnu soldiers left in the city, was it necessary to take the risk to rescue them?
However, the Han army jumped off the city wall, and it became relatively easy for him to approach the city gate.
In a flash of thought, Tian You decided to break open the city gate, and how many Huns soldiers escaped, leaving all personnel and affairs to fate.
Tian You's method of destroying the city is a war-breaking scroll written on bamboo slips, which contains the combined methods of Confucianism and Taoism.
This is a bamboo slip personally written by Liu An, King of Huainan.
As long as the broken soldier slip is placed on the door and activated with magic power, it will burst out with great power.
Tian You quickly took out the bamboo slips and was about to sacrifice them when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from behind, as fast as a shower and as loud as thunder.
The sound of horse hooves appeared very suddenly, without any warning in advance.
Hearing the sound of hoofbeats, it seemed to be already a hundred feet away.
Tian You was well-informed and immediately recognized that this was a wonderful way to mobilize troops and defeat the enemy. Before the sound of hoofbeats appears, use the method of marching to cover it up, and then release it suddenly, not far from the enemy. This can chill the enemy's courage, and it can also build up momentum for your own side and seize the opportunity.
Tian Yu felt bad when he heard the sound.
No matter which team is so powerful and can steal people's attention just by the sound of hooves, it cannot be from Huainan.
Tian You suddenly turned around and saw a team piercing through the dark night, rushing towards the hiding place of the Huainan troops he commanded.
Tian You's eyelids twitched.
The members of that team were all well-equipped, and their momentum was blazing. In just a few breaths, they defeated Huainan's team.
This is not to say that Tian You's team is weak and vulnerable.
Instead, they came to Beiguan secretly and were very cautious on the way. They had no equipment at all, but they were well-equipped soldiers and horses, with guns in front.
They were stealthy, without armor on their bodies and without weapons in their hands.
Only some of them held swords and fought with the elite team. It was not surprising that a large number of them were knocked down when they met.
However, it can still be seen that the elite team that suddenly came out must have experienced hundreds of battles.
The entire team can still maintain formation even while galloping, without any confusion, and the positions between the horses are like measuring with a ruler.
Such a team shows its strict discipline and sharpness.
Among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Han Dynasty, how many can reach the level of the team in front of you? !
Tian You was horrified, where did such a Han army come from?
At this time, he was already concerned about breaking down the door to save the Huns. The team was obviously coming towards them, and the opportunity was fleeting.
"let's go."
Tian Yu didn't even try to go back and join up with his hundreds of people, because when he looked at the troop situation from a distance, he knew that his hundreds of people would never be spared and there was no way they could compete with that team.
Tian Yu took the more than twenty confidants who followed him to break the city gate, activated the magic to cover the aura, and tried to escape at a very fast speed.
But just as he was moving to evacuate, Tian You suddenly stepped sideways with a slight scolding sound, and threw a spear, which silently passed through the air beside him.
He is also amazing. If it were anyone else, he would probably be hit hard by this spear.
Tian Yu's short and stocky figure moved with unexpected speed.
In the darkness a hundred feet away, another team seemed to emerge from a layer of mist. The leader, a general, only had a human form, wearing armor and sitting on a pure black horse, giving people a solid and indifferent look. Huo Qubing's general Zhao Ponu.
The leader of another team that was rushing to kill other Huainan people was obviously Yao Zhao.
Huo Qubing said before that in addition to sending Zhang Cigong's team, he also sent two groups of people to Beiguan.
One of these two troops went to Shuofang County, an important town in Beiguan, and the remaining group was led by Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu. After leaving Chang'an, they disappeared and marched in secret.
No one except Huo Qubing knew where they were going, and they didn't expect to suddenly appear at this time.
The total number of men and horses they commanded was less than a thousand, but they were the fierce soldiers who accompanied Huo Qubing to the rear of the Xiongnu and broke through the enemy camp.
After following Huo Qubing to the Xiongnu rear areas, this team developed a temperament, with a stern fighting spirit and a temperament that would never return to the court after victory, which was unparalleled.
Zhao Ponu said in a deep voice: "You and the Xiongnu secretly collaborated to punish the nine tribes for their great crime. What you did is despicable!"
It means calling these people beasts, a disgrace to the Han people, and colluding with foreigners.
Zhao Ponu was sent by Huo Qubing to the Western Regions to deliver prisoners, and then returned to Chang'an, and then came to Beiguan to attack. The heroes under his command were all engaged in hundreds of battles, and their murderous intent was at their peak.
After he finished speaking, he saw the people on the opposite side fleeing at a very fast speed, with no one replying at all. He immediately waved his hand, signaling for the troops behind him to press forward.
Tian Yu activated the spell in front of him, seeming to disappear into the dark night, and quickly moved away.
"Spread out!" Tian You shouted.
At this time, the only way to escape with your life is to spread out and let the team behind you also split up to chase.
At that moment, more than twenty people dispersed and went their separate ways, all without any reservation, at a speed that had never been seen before in their lives.
Zhao Ponu frowned. I started running before I signed up.
"Chase!"
The cavalry thundered, and the team automatically split up, chasing the more than 20 people fleeing ahead.
Before Zhao Ponu gave chase, he looked back at Yao Zhao.
They also attacked their opponents and scattered them in all directions, also pursuing the enemy.
He looked at the small town not far away again. The shouts of killing in the city were gradually weakening.
Zhao Ponu had been in battle for a long time, and he listened carefully. He could distinguish the strength of the enemy and ourselves by shouting to kill: "The Huns are going to be finished."
At this time, he heard the sound of hoofbeats approaching not far away. He turned around and saw Yao Zhao dragging a gun with one hand and rushing over.
Since when he was attacking the Xiongnu, he saw Huo Qubing dragging his spear and riding his horse. Now, whenever Yao Zhao holds his spear, the tip of the spear must point backwards towards the ground and drag the spear.
Zhao Ponu said: "If you don't go after the enemy, what are you doing here?"
"There aren't many people. They have enough to chase. I am the Marquis's favorite general. I am going to chase these poor bandits and compete with my subordinates for credit?"
Yao Zhao dragged the big gun over, gave Zhao Ponu a look that he didn't understand, and whispered: "This wave of Huns are so stupid, the Marquis cleaned them up before they came. We don't have much use for them." You should be able to return to Chang'an in the next day, and I will take you to have fun then."
The previous part is all foreshadowing, but the last sentence is the key point.
"After attacking the Huns, you haven't had any rest yet. Take you out for a night of fun, and I'll make sure you won't be tired at all."
Zhao Ponu said: "I won't go. The Marquis told me not to fool around with you." He looked at Yao Zhao with a look of 'you are not pure'.
Yao Zhao said contemptuously: "Have you not experienced human affairs yet?"
Zhao Ponu retorted: "Why, you look down on people who have never experienced women, and neither does the Marquis."
This is a critical attack... Yao Zhao admitted his timidity and said: "Don't pull him down." He turned around and beat the horse away.
Zhao Ponu also rode to chase the fleeing troops in front.
The battle lasted until early morning, and most of the Huns soldiers in the city were killed on the spot. The remaining few who were not dead were briefly interrogated and found out that they were here to communicate with people inside and outside, hoping to break through.
But who sent them the message is not something these ordinary Huns soldiers can know.
After Zhang Cigong asked, he ordered a killing blow, leaving no one alive.
He then actually asked people to take the Huns into account, and Qianqi Commander and others were hanged outside Beiguan City.
The news was sent back to Chang'an at dawn.
Huo Qubing had just finished his evening practice and read the battle report sent by Song Ran.
The results were as he expected, no surprises, no surprises.
Song Ran was quite surprised when she saw the battle report, and her cold expression was a little moved.
Because according to the battle reports sent back, the Han army had almost no battle losses, killing more than 10,000 enemies, while its own losses were less than 400.
What kind of result is this? No one would dare write about it like this.
This battle alone is enough to make the general commanding this battle a good general.
As for the mastermind behind this battle, it is not just the formation of good generals.
Song Ran couldn't help but look at Huo Qubing secretly. Under the dim light, his stern face showed a very three-dimensional change, and his eyes were so bright that people didn't dare to look directly at him.
"If Huo Hou is not busy, I have something to ask you." Song Ran said cautiously.
"Yeah." Huo Qubing responded lightly.
Song Ran: "Um...why did Huo Hou check the records of the concubines' coming and going? What does this have to do with the current situation?"
Ru Bohu was busier than Huo Qubing these days, so Song Ran didn't have much chance to ask for advice, so he asked when the opportunity was right.
"The national strength of our Han Dynasty is growing day by day, and the national strength of your Majesty and our Han Dynasty are indivisible." Huo Qubing said.
Song Ran looked confused: "What then?"
"What then?"
Huo Qubing felt that he and Song Ran might not be on the same wavelength: "If the other party wants to plot chaos, the best way is to harm Your Majesty, but Your Majesty's power is consistent with the fate of the country and is unfathomable. Even conventional methods cannot get close to Your Majesty."
Song Ran also understood: "They can't get close to His Majesty, so they may start with some concubines who have left the palace. Huo Hou and my master both thought of this and checked the concubines' entry and exit records to find clues."
"Did you find out?"
Huo Qubing: "It's just an investigation direction. If the other party is so easy to find, your master and I are still trying to piece together clues?"
Song Ran pondered: "Even if you use concubines, what means can be used to harm Your Majesty?"
"There are always things in this world that we don't understand. The secret reconnaissance order and I just want to take precautions in advance and cut off the other party's possible plans. We are not sure that the problem is with the concubine."
After Huo Qubing finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
Song Ran followed up with small steps: "Where are Huo Hou going? Do you need to prepare the frame?"
"No, go to court."
Huo Qubing is currently in charge of the Chang'an Guards, which is equivalent to a doctor's order, so he needs to attend court meetings every day.
He went to attend the court meeting and discovered that going to court was actually a very interesting process. The civil and military ministers stood in two rows, sometimes fighting with each other, openly and secretly. Sometimes it is harmonious, but the changes are strange and often unexpected.
And he has something to start today.
