The Xiongnu were composed of many tribes, and each tribe contained several clans. The famous ones include the Jingtang clan, the Huyan clan, the Lan clan, the Xub clan, the Qiulin clan, the Lang clan, etc.
Each of the Chanyus came from the Luotang family.
In addition, there are four other surnames: Huyan, Lan, Xubu, and Qiulin, who have been married to Shanyu for generations. All matters such as abolishment of establishment, peace and war, sacrifice, etc. are decided jointly by all ministries.
It can be said that the central branch of the Xiongnu royal court is composed of the five major surnames.
The Lan clan is located in Yuwushui, west of Wangting, with lush pastures.
Five days ago, they received news that Wang Ting was defeated and the Great Chan Yu was missing.
a bolt from the blue!
The royal court of the Huns in Nuoda always had between 70,000 and 100,000 elite troops. Even during the summer pastoral period, when tens of thousands were transferred to various ministries to assist in the herding and harvesting, there were still 40,000 to 50,000 elite tribesmen, but they were defeated in one day.
When Lan Tuo, the leader of the Lan clan, heard the news, his eyes turned black and he almost fainted.
If the royal court is ruined, their family will also suffer great losses and are indivisible.
Later, Lan received another message and learned that the Han army had begun to strangle and attack various ministries.
At first, the Lan family planned to contact the two major tribes of the Xubu family and Qiulin, trying to join forces to resist the Han army, and either withdraw or fight.
But before he could take a breath, Xubu was attacked by the Han army and defeated again.
On the same night, Qiu Lin's camp was also broken!
A Han army launched an offensive as quickly as thunder and lightning, attacking the Xiongnu tribes everywhere.
Two large tribes separated by hundreds of miles were defeated within one day.
The news that Lan received was that the Han army that attacked them was the same one that defeated Wang Ting.
The name of the Han army general was gradually spreading among the Huns deserters who fled to various tribes.
The Han general Huo Qubing is destined to be remembered by all the grassland tribes. Even the royal court was penetrated by it, and it defeated the enemy head-on with less force and more force.
When the Xubu clan and the Qiulin clan were identified, the camp was broken down in just one night.
The leader of the Lan family decided to move the tribe immediately, which meant running away.
Fortunately, the Xiongnu were nomadic tribes, and migration was commonplace. After a simple tidying up, they drove the team of cattle, sheep, baggage, and the main soldiers and divided them into two routes.
The leader of the Lan family wanted to preserve the strength of the tribe as much as possible. He led his elite and relied on the speed of his horses to attract the Han army and preserve the baggage, cattle and sheep.
Before dawn, Lan began to evacuate.
In the tribe, children and women were sad, bidding farewell to their men, and followed the team of cattle and sheep in other directions.
The remaining Xiongnu men in their prime formed a cavalry with solemn and solemn expressions, and were responsible for attracting the Han army.
This scene is very similar to the Huns plundering Han villages and towns, and the villagers fleeing in panic.
The Huns may have never thought before that one day, the Han army would fight deep into the grasslands and in turn drive them away and force them to flee for safety.
The tribe was filled with the neighing of cattle and horses, and was full of panic as they were forced to evacuate in the middle of the night.
Fortunately for Lan, the next few days were calm.
The leader of the Lan family led an elite force of 8,000 people, heading north along the Yuwushui grassland west of Ulaanbaatar.
Three days later, they arrived at Zhijushui in the north of the Huns' territory, but still found no trace of the Han army's incoming attack.
That night, the bright moon shone on the river.
The leader of the Lan clan and his eight thousand elite men camped at Zhijushui to rest.
After several days of running around, everyone felt tired.
Let the scouts explore around to make sure the surrounding area is safe, and everyone immediately relaxed.
"There are hundreds of tribes in our grasslands. If we include the tribes of the two great sage kings of the East and West, there are thousands of tribes, large and small."
The speaker was Lan Xu, the second son of the Lord of the Lan clan.
The sheepskin robe on his shoulders has turned yellowish brown. He is tall and has a brown face with the unique oily shine of the Huns. His eyes are fierce.
He is also a famous warrior in the tribe and has always been good at fighting: "It is really hateful for the Han army to ride horses on our grassland."
"They don't know much about the grassland as we do, and they have fought with our headquarters before. The losses must be considerable. If we fight to the death with them, we may not be able to defeat this Han army. There is no need to move north at all."
Due to the defeat of the Royal Court, those in various tribes who claimed to be inferior to the Royal Court heard the news and moved to avoid the Han army.
It's not that the Han army was so powerful that they didn't dare to fight.
One of the main reasons is that the ministries want to preserve their strength.
The Xiongnu used tribes as settlement units, and a tribe was equivalent to a high-ranking clan of the Han people. They stick together, and the tribe rises and falls as individuals.
This determines their social attributes and behavior.
Fighting to the death with a Han army that could defeat the royal court, regardless of victory or defeat, no tribe was willing to bear the huge consumption.
So every family moved away one after another.
There are certainly many hard-liners like Lan Xu who want to stay and fight.
They were forced to move, and they were very resentful and wanted to kill the Han army.
"Those Han people are timid and cowardly. They were plundered by us in the past and would only cry and run away... I don't believe they can really defeat our Xiongnu warriors. If we can gather all the tribes together, we will surely slaughter those Han troops like cattle and sheep."
Lan Xu said fiercely: "Damn Han people, if you give me soldiers and horses, I will fight to the death with them."
The leader of the Lan family has white hair braided on the back of his head and a jade pendant hanging on his forehead. He is over sixty years old and wears a long leather robe to ward off the cold in the night.
Although he was old, he still maintained his majesty, and he reprimanded: "Although what you said makes sense, do you know how to consider the long-term interests of the tribe?
Several kings of the Huns support each other and form the royal court together. Now that we have been defeated by the Han army, we are moving north to preserve our strength. As long as the cattle, sheep, horses and population remain, when the Han army retreats and we regroup, we will still be the masters of the grassland. "
"If all these things are consumed, the Eastern and Western tribes will take advantage of the situation to seize my position as the King of the Huns. That will be a real chaos in the grassland, and what the Han people want to see most.
Why do you think the Han army specifically hunted down several major families in our royal court?
They just want to weaken us. Once we are unable to suppress the east and west, the prairie itself will be in chaos. When the Han people watch the melee on the grassland without spending a single soldier, we will no longer have the opportunity to retaliate against the Han people and enter the Han territory..."
Before the Master of the Lan clan finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground shake, and there was a boom!
Boom boom boom!
Then thousands of horses galloped like thunder, trampling on the ground with a sound, and in an instant it became as fast as a shower.
The whole grassland seemed to be shaking.
The sound of the galloping horses seemed to contain endless murderous intent. Every time the hoofs of the horses hit the ground, the master of the Lan family and others felt their hearts skip a beat, as if there was an invisible drumstick beating their hearts along with the sound of the hoofs.
One Huns felt that their heart was contracting violently, the pain was unbearable, and their faces turned pale.
The sound of hoofbeats is full of killing intent!
It is simply unbelievable that the sound of galloping hooves alone can confuse people's minds and form an offensive.
This was the first time that the master of the Lan family encountered such a powerful sound of horse hooves.
"The Han army suddenly appeared less than two miles away and was rapidly approaching our headquarters..."
"How many Han troops are there?"
"The night was so dark that the Han army seemed to be wrapped in a layer of fog and couldn't see clearly."
The quantity is unclear and the reality is unclear.
It is impossible to fight this kind of war.
"Withdraw!" the leader of the Lan clan shouted angrily.
"I want to fight the Han army..." Lan Xu stood up quickly.
Before he finished speaking, an arrow shot out. Not far away, a tall and strong man quickly made an evasive action at the critical moment. However, he saw a second arrow strangely piercing through the void next to him, instantly killing him. A bloody hole shot out of his neck.
In the dark night, who has such amazing archery skills!
Before Lan Xu could finish his words, his always brave companion was shot dead. His words were temporarily changed to: "Let's go quickly..."
Everyone in the Lan clan got on their horses and galloped away.
Covering the stars and catching up with the moon.
It was Huo Qubing's men and horses who appeared behind them, just as the master of the Lan family said just now.
Huo Qubing stayed in the grassland in order to weaken the major clans of the Xiongnu and defeat them.
If the Xiongnu's main force is weakened, the two major tribes of the Xiongnu, the east and the west, will have different ideas. When the time comes, the Xiongnu will fight among themselves, which will intensify and consume their strength.
At this time, Huo Qubing used his uncanny military skills and his magical marching skills to cover up the enemy at a close place, then suddenly rushed out and took the lead.
As expected, Lan began to evacuate and run away.
Huo Qubing rode and led his subordinates, and quickly arrived at the place where Lan's people were resting.
This is the highest highland in the surrounding area, with green grass below and winding rivers.
The vast grassland looks like a grass blanket under the moonlight, and occasionally the howling of wolves can be heard.
In front, Zhao Ponu led a team, which had been ambushed there for a long time. He quickly pierced through the diagonal thorns and hit Lan's fleeing team from the flank, cutting them off at the waist.
The team led by Huo Qubing actually only had a few hundred people, just to confuse the enemy.
Zhao Ponu's army was dormant in the dark, and the one who suddenly came out was the main force in this battle.
In such a smooth battle, Huo Qubing didn't have to fight in person.
Now he rode slowly towards the battlefield, and Jin An ran down the hillside with his head held high.
Huo Qubing focused his attention on the battle ahead, and his spiritual thoughts spread out like mercury pouring down the ground, giving him a clear insight into the situation on the battlefield, down to every detail.
Breaking through and entering the Yin Body Realm of Soldier Soul, his strength surged significantly.
Not only can he easily command tens of thousands of armies and display his magical powers of military strategy, but the power of his military strategies has also been greatly improved.
In terms of concealing the truth, the concealment ability, the interference with the number of days, and the traces left during travel have all been further improved.
The sound of hoofbeats when they came out just now was heart-breaking. It was the power of the magical marching method that was activated to a new stage.
Huo Qubing's thoughts were rising and falling in his mind. On the battlefield, the opponent has no intention of fighting and is fighting and running at the same time.
When some of them managed to escape, another Han army came out to cover them up again. However, it was Xiong San who led the team, with thousands of people, and dispersed the Lan tribe members who were running out intermittently.
Under Huo Qubing's command, Yao Zhao had been injured before and had a knife blade inserted into his abdomen.
He has returned to Beiguan with Wei Qing, and now Zhao Ponu serves as deputy general.
In addition to their group, Zhang Cigong, Gongsun Ao and Su Jian jointly led an army. A total of three Han armies rushed on the grassland to sweep away the tribes under the jurisdiction of the royal court.
These three Han armies were all commanded and controlled by Huo Qubing.
At this time, he rode close to the battlefield. Seeing that they could not run away, some Huns soldiers became ferocious.
Thousands of Huns led by Lan Xu saw Huo Qubing and immediately shouted in hatred: "Come up with me and kill the Han general!"
A group of people rode towards Huo Qubing to kill him.
Roar!
The roar of the tiger shook the sky.
A murderous aura was condensed into substance, and it hit Lan Xu head-on like a sword.
His body also exuded a layer of black energy gained from the practice of the Xiongnu Life Soul Art to defend himself, but at the moment of encounter, the murderous energy was cut away.
Lan Xu's soul was also chopped off by the killing machine. He fell from his horse and died before he had a chance to get close.
Many of the Xiongnu tribe behind him were struck by murderous aura, with blood oozing from their foreheads and their spirits destroyed.
A small number of people reluctantly rushed close, but were intercepted by the people behind Huo Qubing and started fighting.
This is a smooth push, and the opponent will collapse at the first touch. Huo Qubing's beating was so dull that he didn't even need to take action and just watched the whole process from his horse.
He touched the center of his eyebrows. The murderous aura of the White Tiger Talisman was very strong, and someone would die if it appeared.
Once blood is seen, Huo Qubing's consciousness will also be affected by the soldier talisman, and he wants to kill everyone without leaving any one behind.
The murderous intention boiled in my heart.
This is still the White Tiger Talisman that has just taken shape. If it is practiced for a period of time, the murderous intention will definitely become stronger.
This white tiger talisman does not tolerate disobedience and is very domineering. If there is disobedience, it will also inspire murderous intent.
Huo Qubing then released the Xuanwu and White Tiger Talisman at the same time, breathing out the fighting spirit of the confrontation between the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield.
In his consciousness, there was a spiritual aura permeating and rising in the ancient well.
Since breaking through to the Yin Shen level and absorbing part of the Xiongnu's shaken national destiny, the ancient wells in his sea of consciousness have also undergone new changes, including the sea of knowledge and military books.
It's just that after days of fighting, I haven't had a chance to stop and practice properly to see what specific changes have occurred in the ancient well.
When the White Tiger Soldier Talisman appears, the Yin body also emerges from the battle lines between the eyebrows, also absorbing the evil spirit, death energy, and fighting spirit of the battle between the two sides.
The moon is at the zenith.
The Lan clan always retreated while fighting, and were easily defeated.
After chasing until early morning, a small number of people fled and the rest were killed. Xiong San and Zhao Ponu came back and asked if they wanted to continue chasing.
Huo Qubing shook his head slightly: "That's almost it. Those who should run in the past few days have already retreated deep into the grassland. There is no need to pursue anymore. The grassland tribes are shrinking to the north, and we don't have much food. If we continue to pursue, we want to fight to support and rob. There is no place for the Huns to rob anything."
Zhao Ponu said excitedly: "This time the Xiongnu headquarters suffered heavy losses, and several major branches under its jurisdiction also suffered heavy losses. Let's see how they can suppress the eastern and western divisions.
These Huns, now frightened by the name of Huo Hou, dare to make enemies of the Han people again? "
"withdraw troops."
Huo Qubing issued the order.
At the end of August, Huo Qubing led the team back to Beiguan.
From a distance, he looked south, his thoughts rising and falling.
This time when the Xiongnu attacked, why was there no movement at all from that secret force?
The resurrected body he left in Beiguan, after following the two men, is still dormant somewhere in Beiguan, and has never received any orders from that mysterious power.
The dark force seemed to be hiding again, without a trace.
At the end of August, Huo Qubing returned triumphantly!
What awaited him in Beiguan was the emperor's imperial edict, a reward, and a team welcoming him was unprecedented in size!
At this time, the name of the Han general Huo Qubing had been carried to every corner of the grassland along with the fleeing troops.
Ps: Kill the main unit first and then push for the equalizer. Only with an amazing record first can the opponent escape with fame. In fact, there is no chance to take action, and he will die face to face...
