Chang'an, early morning.
Liu Che asked the ministers to write down all the reports and submit them for review, so that the court meeting ended much earlier than usual.
He came down from the court meeting and returned to the study in the wing of the front hall of Weiyang Palace.
Unexpectedly, there are people waiting outside the study room.
Liu Qing, who was dressed in a bright red fairy dress and looked stunning, closed her eyes and said politely: "Brother Emperor."
Liu Che took a breath: "Why come here so early?"
"I want to join forces with the emperor brother, just like last time, let's take a look at the battle situation on the grassland!"
Liu Qing had a slightly worried look on his face.
She and Liu Che had full confidence in Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, but that didn't mean they could feel completely at ease.
On the contrary, she has been very anxious these past few days, and her worries have increased with time.
Liu Qing has not slept since last night and came to wait outside the study early.
Liu Che walked calmly and entered the study first.
Liu Qing was still sitting in the row of generals, where Huo Qubing should have been.
"Brother Emperor, let's start." Liu Qing was a little anxious.
In order to know Huo Qubing's whereabouts, she used some tricks this time to put a bronze armband on Huo Qubing's body, carrying a little bit of the spiritual aura she had refined.
It can be used to sense the approximate location of Huo Qubing.
So she could know in time that Huo Qubing had penetrated deep into the grassland and would attack the Huns' royal court today!
What Liu Qing didn't expect was that after Liu Che sat down, he said calmly: "Wait a little longer!"
Soon, dense footsteps were heard outside the study.
The old prime minister Gongsun Hong was the leader, and the acting prime minister Li Cai gave orders to Li Xi, his wife Dong Zhongshu, and his disciples Bai Yu, Sima Qian and other civil servants. They were all ordered by Emperor Wu to come and attend.
Of these ministers, only the old Prime Minister Gongsun Hong and the acting Prime Minister Li Cai knew in advance that the war with the Xiongnu had begun.
In addition, there is Dong Zhongshu, who vaguely has his own guess through some signs.
The rest of the crowd was unaware of the situation.
But when they sat down, Liu Che took out a bronze mirror as he was prepared.
If you look at it from the spiritual level, you will find that the true dragon of national destiny behind Liu Che has plunged into the mirror.
A dazzling purple light suddenly burst into the mirror, propelled by the power of the national destiny.
Liu Qing immediately used Taoism to divide the soul and unite with Liu Che.
In an instant, controlled by Liu Qing, a big bird on the Xiongnu grassland appeared above Ulaanbaatar.
In the study, the scene that the bird saw was reflected in the air by the bronze mirror pushed by Liu Che himself.
…
Wei Qing led 30,000 elite troops, with Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao leading the left and right armies respectively, as the flanks, with Zhang Cigong as the forward of the center army, and the veteran Su Jian as the rear army. The entire 30,000 elite troops lined up and galloped towards the royal court of the Huns.
At this moment of dawn, Wei Qing's complexion suddenly changed, and he raised his eyes and looked into the distance: "Qubing has begun to attack the Huns' royal court!"
All the generals looked into the distance.
Directly to the north, there was a fighting spirit rising into the sky, getting stronger and stronger, rolling like thunder. Even hundreds of miles away, one can feel the surge of fighting spirit, which is pure and connected to some mysterious and mysterious energy between heaven and earth.
"Qubing has stimulated the will to fight, and has declared war on the Xiongnu!" Zhang Cijing said.
Wei Qing frowned: "It's too early to rush to camp at this time. We will be at least two hundred miles away... Hurry, order the entire army to advance!"
As the soldiers and horses galloped, Wei Qing kept looking up at the northern sky.
The fighting spirit became more and more powerful, rolling like thunder, and actually stirred up the celestial phenomena.
At the end of the sky in the north, a huge war sword seemed to have evolved with war intent, stretching across the sky, with a clear tendency to strike downwards.
Two hundred miles away, thousands of horses galloped on the grassland.
Outside the royal tent, the Xiongnu elite quickly gathered, and soldiers and horses gathered like a tide.
These elite members of the headquarters came to the royal court from all directions when they heard the war cry.
Of the 50,000 soldiers and horses originally in the royal tent, more than 10,000 had already streamed out of the royal court and arrived on the grasslands of Ulaanbaatar, preparing to await the approach of the Han army.
The scorching sun shimmered in the sky, and the darkness that had shrouded the earth all night was receding.
The torches lit by the Huns have not yet been extinguished, and thousands of lights are shining like stars.
The tremors on the ground continued to intensify, and the sound of thousands of horses trampling on the ground caused the grass and trees outside the royal court to sway.
"The Han army is coming!"
Rondo stood in the royal court, looking south.
In that direction, a team seemed to be chasing the receding night, appearing at the end of the grassland!
They galloped on horseback, heading towards the Huns' royal court at an astonishing speed, moving forward inexorably!
Before anyone arrived, the fighting spirit was already boiling!
"Come so fast!"
Next to Rondo's position, Yi Zhi was sitting on a high platform covered with wolf skins, taking in a panoramic view of the scene outside the royal court.
He held a golden riding crop in his hand and pointed in the direction of the Han army: "I want them all to stay on my Huns' grassland, and no one is allowed to go."
Yi Zhi leaned over and gathered dozens of Hun generals, big and small, surrounding him.
General Mu Tuo said: "The Han army is approaching fiercely. Rondo, can you find a way to break its momentum and let its vigor weaken so that we can engage with it? Otherwise, it will only increase the consumption."
Yi Zhi nodded sideways: "That's right."
Lang Duo was prepared and said: "You can rest assured, the Great Chanyu. I have already expected that the Han army will use the vigor of its long-distance attack to steal the courage of our Huns. I have made arrangements, and the Han army can't maintain this situation." The momentum is coming.”
…
On the grassland, the Han army formed a wild goose formation, with Huo Qubing as the front, forming two lines on the left and right, approaching at a gallop.
Huo Qubing is wearing a silver robe and a white cloak, holding an Overlord's Halberd in his hand, with the halberd pointed at an angle, and his figure rises and falls slightly with the horse's back.
At the moment when the battle was approaching, his spirit seemed to have entered another level. He was fearless, without joy or sorrow, but he had accurate insights into the arrangement of the Huns' array in the distance.
The distance between the two sides is less than three thousand steps!
"The Huns are prepared!" Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu followed Huo Qubing, one on the left and one on the right.
A troop of 10,000 Xiongnu troops formed a formation below the high ground where the royal court was located. Their troops and horses were neatly prepared. They were indeed well prepared for the appearance of the Han army.
Farther away, there were soldiers and horses of various Xiongnu tribes. They heard the sound of war trumpets and were on their way to the royal court.
This battle will be harder than expected!
“So what if you’re prepared?”
Huo Qubing straightened his back slightly while on horseback, feeling a sense of belief that he must win.
At this moment, the waiting queue of Huns split sideways.
There was another group of people behind their horses, who were pushed out by the Huns soldiers.
The sword flashed.
About a thousand people were pushed out, including men, women, old and young, and several of them had their heads chopped off by Hun soldiers with swords.
Those who were pushed, forced by the Xiongnu soldiers, began to run in the direction where the Han army was rushing.
At this time, both sides had less than 2,000 steps.
Horse hooves hit the ground, the turf exploded, and the soil turned outward.
Yao Zhao looked at the crowd driven by the Huns from a distance and rushed towards the Han army: "These... are the Han people that the Huns plundered in the past. The Huns want to use them to reduce our momentum!"
"Huo Hou, what should we do?" Zhao Ponu tightened his grip on the spear in his hand.
It was impossible to slow down the horse's speed at this time, otherwise the Huns would attack later and the Han army would be at a disadvantage.
And even if the horse does not slow down, if they step over these people rushing over, the momentum they have accumulated by riding the horse will be greatly affected, and it will be weakened invisibly, offsetting the vigor of rushing into the formation!
This is what the Huns planned.
On the high platform in the royal court of the Huns, Mu Tuo's eyes brightened and he asked Rondo: "Are those Hannus in the tribe?"
Rondo sneered: "Exactly, letting these Han slaves rush forward is considered a waste.
Regardless of whether the Han army stepped over them, stopped on horseback, or shot these Han slaves to death and then stepped over their corpses, their momentum would slow down. My subordinates will immediately cover up and kill them, and the Han army will suffer heavy losses! "
Muto agreed: "It is indeed a good plan."
In the distance, the Han troops coming in armor showed no sign of slowing down their horses, but instead charged faster and faster.
On the opposite side, the Xiongnu soldiers and horses also began to ride, following the Hannu who were driven away by them, and rushed towards the Han army.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to less than 1,500 steps.
And between the two armies were the driven Han people!
Just in Rondo, Muto and others showed cold smiles on their lips, boasting that they could time the game, and unexpected changes occurred.
At the front of the thousands of Hannu who were driven away by the Xiongnu soldiers, some people began to take the lead and ran to both sides, and the people behind them separated to the two sides.
Because the Han army was in a wild goose formation, and the distance was still a thousand steps away. These Hannus ran to both sides, and they did not have time to expose the space for the Han army to charge. This was tantamount to giving up the battlefield where the two sides collided, and did not play the role of blocking the Han army as the Huns hoped.
Rondo saw the changes below from a distance, and his expression suddenly changed: "Fire arrows and shoot these damn Han slaves to death for how dare they evade in battle!"
The Han people who were driven away by the Xiongnu soldiers suddenly ran to both sides. The reason was very simple. Huo Qubing's magical power to promote the resurrection plan affected the people at the front of the running queue, causing them to involuntarily give way to both sides.
In this case, if someone runs in front, the people behind will naturally follow and run to both sides to avoid the bad luck of being hit and killed head-on.
The Huns' plan was thwarted, the Han army's momentum increased rapidly, and a sharp edge was formed that had accumulated to its peak!
"Shoot the Han army!"
The distance continued to close, reaching the shooting range, and both sides opened their bows and fired at each other at the same time.
The two armies clashed on the battlefield, and arrows rained down like rain.
Huo Qubing was also galloping at high speed, firing his bow continuously, shooting arrows like meteors, and shot down many Xiongnu soldiers from their horses.
In fact, under such a strong momentum, the military aura is consistent with the entire team, and the power of ordinary arrows does not cause much damage.
Unless you have Huo Qubing's archery skills.
Under his leadership, the Han army's Qi and horses were in harmony, and their speed was getting faster and faster.
The wonderful marching method passed down by Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, was created by summarizing the essence of how to lead troops.
This marching method unfolds, and the capable man and horse unite to activate the horse power.
When a person rides on a horse, he sends a stream of Qi into the horse's body, and the circulation is endless, so the horse can run faster and faster, which is far beyond ordinary marching techniques.
Huo Qubing led his troops, and the aura of military conquest formed during the rapid riding was swirling around the queue, and it continued to accumulate as the team moved forward.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a flywheel of military energy evolution, rolling around the queue, spinning faster and faster, being pushed to the extreme.
In the sky, the fighting spirit of more than ten thousand Han troops rushing towards the sky turned into the phantom of a war weapon.
At this time, the war-like phantom fell, merged with the entire queue, and merged into the outer layer of Qi machines rotating like flywheels.
This energy suddenly turned into a storm formed by military energy.
Immediately, the two armies that were approaching each other collided without any hesitation.
The shouts of killing shook the sky.
The impact accumulated by the Han army through its wonderful marching strategy was completely absorbed by the rushing Xiongnu soldiers.
As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, the Huns were already on their backs.
Under the fierce impact, some Hun soldiers, including their horses and men, were knocked off the ground and flipped into the air.
Click!
Jin'an kicked a Hun war horse to death, and the Overlord Halberd in Huo Qubing's hand stabbed it seven or eight times in an instant, causing the Hun soldiers who passed by it to fall off their horses one after another.
From the rear, Yao Zhao, Zhao Ponu and others followed closely.
The entire Han army array was like a spear. Along with Huo Qubing, the moment they engaged in battle, they tore a hole in the Huns array!
kill!
Looking down from the high ground where the Hun Royal Court is located, the situation between the enemy and ourselves is particularly obvious.
Under the powerful momentum of the Han army, the triangular formation formed by the Xiongnu when they clashed with it was washed away at a sharp corner at the moment of contact.
The storm of fighting spirit evolved, and hundreds of Huns soldiers were strangled in the swirling motion.
This is the essence of the magical marching method passed down by the killing god Bai Qi. It gathers the impact of the entire army's galloping and transforms it into combat power, which is most conducive to rushing into the formation, breaking through defenses and piercing the enemy's army.
Gain the upper hand by crushing.
Therefore, no one could stop Bai Qi's military front!
As soon as the two sides met, a gap was made in the Huns' array.
Jin'an's strong horse's legs turned up and kicked, while Huo Qubing on the horse turned around and stopped. Every blow of the Overlord's Halberd would kill a Huns soldier.
Jin An, who was sitting under him, was running back and forth, and in the flash of light and stone, he had already shuttled back and forth in the Xiongnu formation.
His heroic performance inspired the Han army in the rear to fight the enemy bravely!
Within the scope of the royal court, Yi Zhixie's face was full of anger: "The white-robed general below, is it Huo Qubing who came to attack the rear of my Huns last time?"
One of the Hun generals responded: "What the Great Chanyu said is right, it's him!
This man was so brave that he was the best among the three armies of the Han people, and Qumeng died at his hands. "
The Xiongnu general who replied was the same Huo Qubing who had attacked the Xiongnu rear last time and fought with him several times outside the king's tent. The only Xiongnu general who survived was Zha Xu.
There is also a scar on his face, with the flesh turned out, which was left from the fight with Huo Qubing.
Rondo said disdainfully: "Zha Xu, you are probably scared out of your wits by a Han general, you idiot."
Yi Zhi pointed the golden riding whip in his hand at the foot of the mountain outside the royal court: "Whoever goes to capture the Han general Huo Qubing, I will give him a hundred good horses!"
Lang Duo heard this and came out: "I will capture him personally and make him a slave to the Great Chan!"
Yi Zhi snorted obliquely.
He also believed that the only way to be sure was if Rondo took action, and Huo Qubing's fighting prowess really surprised him.
"Go ahead and let the Han army know that the bravery of the Huns is beyond the comparison of the Han people."
Rondo spat softly and spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground: "Bring my horse!"
In a moment, a Hun soldier appeared, leading a pure black horse.
The subordinates handed over the armor they were wearing, but Rondo pushed it away: "How can a mere Han general use such a cumbersome thing!"
boom!
Rondo got on his horse, and the horse he was riding stepped on the ground, and a black air seemed to spurt out from his mouth and nose.
He is proficient in the art of life soul. When he gallops out, there is black energy lingering outside his body, like a black phantom.
Rondo's body seemed to have expanded, becoming stronger.
He has a black horse on his crotch, four hooves on the ground, and his momentum is extremely frightening.
On the battlefield, Huo Qubing, who had penetrated the enemy's formation in several rounds, looked sideways under the influence of Qi and found Rondo, who was galloping up from the high ground where the Hun Royal Court was located!
The eyes of the two parties met, as if two cold lightnings were colliding in the air.
"Han people below, come here and die!" Rondo's voice shook the battlefield.
Under the gaze of thousands of troops, if the enemy generals can be killed, the morale of the Han army will be ruined. They will collapse without a fight, and running thousands of miles will become a joke!
Jin'an, who was ridden by Huo Qubing, turned his horse's head like a whirlwind at the foot of the mountain. He blinked his huge eyes and looked at the Hun general Lang Duo who was riding out from the royal court.
Jin'an let out a loud neigh, as if he was declaring war on Rondo's formation on the hillside.
Its big hooves moved gently, and shallow pits immediately exploded on the ground.
Two Xiongnu soldiers took the opportunity to attack, but Huo Qubing pierced their throats with a halberd and fell to the ground dead.
When Huo Qubing gently pinched the horse's belly, Jin'an rushed out in a hurry.
This speed... everyone watching the battle was shocked.
One breath after rushing out, Jin'an turned into a shadow. He could only hear the sound of hoofbeats but couldn't see his specific figure.
This is not only its own speed, but also the effect of Huo Qubing and his Qi, gathering the momentum of the battlefield and blessing it.
Lang Duo rushed down from outside the royal court, and was five to six hundred steps away from Huo Qubing.
However, at this time, it only took two or three breaths for Jin'an to kill him less than twenty feet away.
"Good horse!"
Rondo laughed: "This horse belongs to me!"
His aura couldn't help but rise. The black aura emanating from behind was as thick as ink. A bone spear appeared out of thin air in his hand, as thick as an arm. It was the skeleton of an unknown creature with a slightly curved arc.
The entire bone spear is engraved with dense bloody shaman lines.
This bone spear was the remains of a giant creature fished out from the icy lake in the far north of the prairie by Rondo while practicing cultivation. It was unknown how long it had gone through, but the bones were not damaged at all and were extremely tough.
Then it was made into a bone spear!
The dark horse under Rondo also increased sharply in speed, racing against Jin'an.
Before the two of them could fight, an invisible ripple exploded in the void.
The two sides mobilized their troops at the same time, creating a huge impact.
The next moment, the two sides became very close!
Rondo's spear, which he had prepared for a long time, thrust forward.
His spear seems to be slow but actually fast, as if it contains immense power.
While swinging the spear, all the muscles in his body stirred up, forming a powerful force that was released with the spear.
As soon as the spear came out, all Huo Qubing's attack and dodge routes were instantly blocked.
A simple spear, but it pierced with invincible momentum!
The strength of this man's force is truly extraordinary.
However, the moment the two sides came into contact, Jinan's hind legs suddenly tightened, slightly bent and then straightened again, and he jumped up.
Under its terrifying tread, several cracks appeared on the ground, and a deep pit as big as a human head exploded.
The huge horse body carried Huo Qubing and jumped diagonally into the air to the left of Rondo.
At the same moment, Huo Qubing stood down and swung his Overlord Halberd towards Rondo.
Rondo's spear blocked Huo Qubing's attack and dodge route, but he didn't expect Jin'an to have such a terrifying jumping ability. He missed the edge of his spear and flew into the air with both men and horses.
Time seems to have stood still!
The Overlord Halberd drawn by Huo Qubing seems to be a simple sweep, but in fact it seems to be changing but not changing. The mysterious trajectory is in line with the principles of heaven and earth, and it is also like the traces of birds and fish, unpredictable and unpredictable.
In Rondo's eyes, the sword blade that swept over him continued to expand in his consciousness, and was as bright as a bright moon.
This halberd almost froze his mind, making it impossible for him to dodge in time.
The spear that Huo Qubing swept out could not become bigger. Only because the situation completely overwhelmed Rondo, and the powerful soul power had a spiritual impact on him, did he have this terrible illusion.
Lightning flash.
Rondo's thick body, under the almost impossible situation, supported his feet lightly and leaned back, trying to avoid the halberd.
But the spurge in Huo Qubing's hand rose up several inches with great agility, following him like a shadow.
The light on the halberd's edge flickered.
At this time, Rondo could no longer make any other changes and could only watch the approaching Ji Feng.
boom!
At the last moment, Rondo reluctantly swung his bone spear to challenge Huo Qubing's thrust.
The energy of the collision exploded, and Huo Qubing struck Rondo with a halberd, and a terrifying force like a mountain roar and a tsunami surged out.
The horse Rondo was riding neighed miserably, its eyes bulged, and all four legs exploded into blood mist.
At the critical moment, Rondo transferred the power of Huo Qubing's blow into the body of the horse underneath him, trying to avoid the damage of the blow.
His figure fell downwards as the horse beneath him fell.
Blue light and lightning!
In this situation, Huo Qubing still had enough energy to shoot out another halberd.
Snapped!
Jin'an jumped from the air and passed by Rondo.
Rondo's eyes were filled with disbelief, humiliation, anger, and fear: "You..."
Blood suddenly oozed from his eyebrows and chest.
It turned out that Huo Qubing didn't stab him with one halberd at that moment, but with two consecutive stabs. Because the speed was too fast, no one could see clearly.
Rondo was surrounded by black energy, and he tried to resist his attack, but was penetrated by the sharp edge of the Overlord Halberd, and was stabbed between the eyebrows and chest!
In the midst of thousands of troops, kill the enemy general again!
The Han troops in the rear suddenly burst out into earth-shaking cheers.
The momentum of the Xiongnu tribe was safely suppressed!
From the Hun royal court above, loud horn sounds sounded.
More Xiongnu soldiers and horses galloped out.
The Great Chan Yu Yi Zhixie ordered a full attack.
The tribesmen left behind in the Xiongnu royal court rushed out and fought with the Han army.
The battle became fierce.
Huo Qubing, armed with a long spear and a fierce horse, cut down the might of the enemy generals and shouted wildly: "Follow me to the palace of the Huns!"
"Kill the Hun royal court!"
"Kill the Hun royal court!"
For a time, the whole world was filled with the invincible fighting power of the Han army!
Nearly ten thousand Han troops, everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and they had only one simple goal in their minds, which was to kill and defeat the Huns by any means, for the sake of the big man in their hearts, and for the figure rushing in front, like a god of war.
Everyone is fulfilling their pre-war vows and fighting to the death without regrets!
"Kill!"
Zhao Ponu shouted at the top of his lungs.
Wherever the Han army passed, the first Xiongnu army of ten thousand people already had thousands of corpses lying on the ground, and the red blood dyed the grassland red.
The Han army also lost over a hundred men, which shows how intense the battle in just a short period of time was.
At this time, all the Han troops turned their horses and continued to follow the figure in front of them, heading towards the Xiongnu royal court!
