"Hurry up! Faster!"
On the wasteland, more than 20,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry were urging their horses wildly. They were also galloping towards the location where King Hunxie and King Xiutu were stationed.
The Huns were not without generals who were good at fighting.
Huo Qubing was pursued by the troops and horses of King Zhelan, King Luotianjian, and the generals under King Hunxie. He suddenly used his marching plan to disappear. King Zhelan and King Luotianjian soon realized Huo Qubing's target.
So the group of soldiers and horses turned around and galloped southward.
But Huo Qubing led them around the grassland for two days, and their location was hundreds of miles away from where King Hunxie was stationed. It would not be possible to go back in a short while.
"This boy is cunning and cunning. If we can catch him, we will definitely whip him to death."
The speaker was Na Boqing, a general under King Hunxie.
He was in a state of impotent rage.
King Hunxie did not come in person, he finally chose to stay at the garrison.
The soldiers and horses from the Hunxie tribe and the Xiutu tribe were led by Naboqing.
Huo Qubing had been tricked by Huo Qubing for two days. When they came out, the two coalition forces had more than 10,000 people. Later, they divided their forces to pursue them, but the Han army turned around and nibbled away part of them, which was now less than 9,000 people.
The chasing party will suffer much more losses than the pursued party.
"He was chased by us, but he never left. He was always in front of us, disappearing and appearing. I expected that he might have other intentions."
Luantan's piercing eyes were bright and yet gloomy.
Next to him, King Zhelan said: "I have also thought that he may have other plans, but even if he thinks of it in advance, it is useless. If we don't chase him, he will attack the camp to burn food. If we choose to stick to a few tribes and protect him, With food and grass, he can also raid other places at will."
King Zhelan was right.
Huo Qubing used conspiracy and was not afraid that they would know his strategic intentions.
Because it’s impossible not to chase.
So Huo Qubing blatantly led them around until he felt that the time was almost up, then he suddenly used his marching strategy, turned around and headed south to attack King Xiutu and King Hunxie.
"He's trying to trick us into not being as fast as him!"
Before, whether it was Luo Tingjian or King Zhelan.
Their tribesmen are also known for their speed.
Among the hundreds of Xiongnu tribes, Zhelanqi's hunting speed ranked among the top three.
Therefore, at the beginning of the pursuit, the two men knew that Huo Qubing was good at attacking, and they were still very confident that they could use their familiarity with the terrain and their own speed to catch up with and encircle the Han army.
It's a pity that the facts gave them a beating.
"Although he got rid of us temporarily, it's not that easy to successfully attack Hunxie and Xiutu tribe." Luotingjian said unwillingly.
King Zhelan said in surprise: "You have other plans?"
"Not to mention Xiutu and Hunxie's troops, there are still 20,000 people left behind.
With Huo Qubing's thousands of Han troops, it would not be so easy to attack and win. "
Luo Tingjian said: "Furthermore, Master had already known that the location where King Hunxie was stationed was important, and the Han army would definitely come to seize it.
When I discovered the traces of Huo Qubing, I sent a message to the Master using a secret method. He replied that he had sent Feng Ti and led his troops to King Hunxie.
Huo Qubing thought he was rushing to attack, but he couldn't say that he was seeking death. "
"Feng Ti?"
"He is the general conquered by the foreign tribes in the far north. His name was given by the master. His power is the best among the master's subordinates. Let's see how Huo Qubing resists!" Luoting was convinced.

Boom boom boom!
Outside King Hunxie's army, the sound of war horse's hooves suddenly appeared.
The lookout posts outside the king's headquarters were placed on guard, but they were not even aware of it beforehand, and were approached within a hundred feet by the Han army.
Baizhang is the most suitable sprint, a process of accumulating energy to accelerate the horse's speed.
All members of the Han army were in a state of full attack power on horseback.
They stood up slightly on their horses, with their buttocks about five or six inches away from the saddle, their upper bodies leaning forward, and their guns held high, as if they could stab at any time and kill the enemy in the next moment.
The momentum they gathered alone was enough to make any opponent feel terrified.
All the Han soldiers' eyes were shining, and they followed closely the figure riding at the front.
Even in the face of mountains of swords and seas of fire, the Han army firmly believed that the figure in front could lead them through and win.
Because that is Huo Qubing!
Combining the magical marching method with walking, the entire team showed unprecedented speed.
Like a strong wind sweeping across the earth!
In front of the queue, there is a qi machine derived from the military force, like a flywheel gathered by mist, spinning and galloping, spinning faster and faster as the Han army gallops.
Boom!
The horse-repelling formation set up by King Hunxie and King Xiutu outside their camp, and the shamanic incantations carved on the fences were all crushed to pieces by the impact of Huo Qubing's fused troops.
The camp's outer defenses were torn apart, and sawdust flew away!
Before the fight, arrows shot out like rain!
In the camp, there was no time to sound the alarm until now, which shows how fast the Han army rushed into the formation.
King Hunxie and King Xiutu rushed out of the tent at the same time and looked at the Han army that suddenly came in, with shocked expressions on their faces.
Before the sun set, someone came to attack the camp.
This is a forceful attack!
"Pooh!"
King Hunxie followed the general holding a box of gold.
He spat lightly, the scar on his neck trembled, and said with fighting spirit: "These Han people often use sneak attacks and don't have the guts to confront us head-on. I'll fight them!"
Tuohe Jin was always a reckless general and was not afraid of death. He immediately got on his horse and shouted to the whole camp: "Which Han army are you coming from? Do you dare to fight me!"
He clamped his horse's belly and rushed towards the Han army.
Other Xiongnu tribesmen also rushed out of the camp.
For a moment, the entire camp was in chaos.
The shouts of Tokhe Jin shook the camp and made Huo Qubing look at him across the way.
Huo Qubing struck out and grabbed a spear from a Hun soldier not far away.
The Huns soldier was poured into his body by a huge force. All his bones were broken, blood choked from his mouth, and he died in an instant.
call!
The spear broke through the air.
Tohejin saw Huo Qubing throwing the spear from a distance, and a sneer appeared on his ferocious face: "Stupid..."
He was getting ready to duck down.
But as soon as he had the idea of evading, Huo Qubing's movements of raising his hand and throwing a spear were still reflected in his eyes.
The spear has come to him!
So fast……
Click!
The spear penetrated the golden Tianling lid that held the box, and half of his head flew away. Red and white splattered all over the floor.
Holding Jin's body, he suddenly fell from his horse.
All the Huns soldiers who saw this scene were chilled.
Tokhe Jin is a powerful and famous general under King Hunxie!
He didn't even dodge a spear throw, and his skull was blown off by a single blow.
An uncontrollable sense of panic permeated the entire camp!
King Xiutu, who was originally planning to ride to meet the enemy and go into battle himself, saw this scene and quietly suppressed the urge to mount his horse.
King Hunxie was also very brave and famous among the Huns.
But it was equally chilly at the moment.
He thought to himself that he would have missed the spear just now if it had been him.
Huo Qubing ignited the whole audience with one blow, and the morale of the Han army soared, and they were like a mad tiger out of the gate.
"The Champion! The Champion! The Champion!"
The Han troops, who were drinking wildly, rushed out from both sides of Huo Qubing like a tide, and started fighting with the Huns.
Instead, Huo Qubing slowed down his horse.
He is adjusting to his new role.
In this battle of Hexi, the emperor had high hopes for him and appointed him as the commander-in-chief and military commander of the battle of Hexi.
He is no longer a simple general, but the commander-in-chief of the Han army.
Generals can fight on the battlefield and be the first to charge into battle, but a coach must always consider the overall situation and cannot simply kill the enemy.
So after he took a strike and personally led the army into the enemy camp, he restrained his momentum!
Seeing the wave of Han troops fighting with the Xiongnu tribe, the lines of Huo Qubing's military formation rippled out, spreading layer by layer, causing an impact on the entire Xiongnu camp!
Today, Huo Qubing has reached the top of the military formation level in the Three Realms.
The formation he released was very different from before.
The formation diagram incorporates many military strategies, reflecting the way of military strategists.
Especially the military strategies above the middle strategy can be integrated into the military formation, blessing the tribesmen, and improving the combat effectiveness.
As they moved forward and merged with the military formation, the offensive speed of the Han army within the coverage area increased out of thin air.
Of course, the magnitude of this increase is not large. After all, it is an additional blessing.
But with a slight improvement, even if it can only increase the combat effectiveness a little, it may be a life-saving means to defeat the enemy in an instant on the battlefield.
The beauty trap is the best strategy. After integrating into the military formation, it will be blessed with luck and increase the military strength.
The so-called luck adds to the body, which will affect and improve the fortune.
Almost none of the stray arrows on the battlefield could hit the Han army.
On the contrary, if the luck of the other party is reduced, it will be very unlucky, and the invisible casualty rate will greatly increase.
This is the true role of military strategy.
The four realms of military strategists are called military power strategies. It stands to reason that you have to go to the four realms before you can provide military strategies to your tribe, but Huo Qubing...who is trying to reason with you?
However, Xiutu and Hunxie were originally strong armies of the Xiongnu, and they also had their own methods.
If the two correspond to the cultivation system of the Han Dynasty, they also have the realm of heaven and human cultivation. In terms of pure level, they are not much weaker than Huo Qubing.
Moreover, the number of troops left behind in the camp was as high as 20,000. Compared with the Han army of 5,000, they still had a huge military advantage.
Seeing that the Han army was invincible, they had the upper hand.
King Xiutu shouted violently: "Ask the shaman to offer sacrifices to heaven!"
Immediately, someone carried out a golden man offering sacrifices to heaven from his royal tent!
Carrying the golden man were two shamans accompanying the army.
The golden man offering sacrifices to the sky is a precious treasure inherited by King Xiutu's tribe. It is also the golden man worshiping the sky who was snatched back by Huo Qubing in history and whose name will remain in history.
In terms of religious belief, the Huns practiced a polytheistic worship system of worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping ancestors, and fearing ghosts and gods.
Their heaven-sacrifice rituals are in line with the shamanistic ideas of "reverence for heaven and earth, and harmony between heaven and man."
When the prayer hosted by the shaman is completed, the trumpet will sound, accompanied by the accompaniment of divine music, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven will begin, summoning the power of ghosts and gods, and receiving the blessing of the shaman.
Half of the reason why King Xiutu's tribe can rank among the strongest tribes of the Xiongnu is because of this golden man of inheritance.
According to legend, it was the magical weapon of the shaman god back then, and it has the secret power to connect life and death.
At this time, the two shamans carrying the golden man, who was about a foot tall, personally uncovered the wolf skin covering the golden man.
The wolf's skin was densely covered with bloody spells.
They spread the wolf skin on the ground as an altar, and the golden man was placed on it.
King Xiutu personally held a dagger in his hand, cut open the flesh between the eyebrows, and took blood from the eyebrows, which meant that the soul was connected with ghosts and gods.
When the blood dripped from the center of his eyebrows, the golden man with a strange posture and holding a drum with one hand fell to the center of his eyebrows about a foot high.
Suddenly, mantras lit up on the golden man's body, and they were densely covered like blood vessels, with countless mantras intertwined.
The two shamans spoke plausibly and whispered, and each had an additional divine drum in their hands.
Around the wolfskin altar where the golden man was, a ring-shaped brand appeared on the ground.
The sky seemed to suddenly darken.
The mark under the golden man's feet was like a black lake, swallowing up the surrounding light and spreading rapidly to cover the entire camp.
In the blink of an eye, the black mark spread to an area of more than ten feet.
King Xiutu and others evaded from a distance.
Even they were afraid of the power that the golden man was about to unleash.
Under the golden man's footsteps, the brand continues to expand.
Some Han soldiers began to feel faint, and their eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of black energy.
The curses on the golden man worshiping the sky are extinguished, and his mouth seems to be opening and closing to talk. A strange sound sounded inexplicably in the ears of a Han soldier, like the roar of a strong wind, filling his ears and blinding his hearing.
This change attracted Huo Qubing's attention.
From his horseback, he looked at the golden man who was chanting the incantation.
The next moment, Huo Qubing's blessing was the best option and he used all his strength to mobilize the army.
He disappeared from his horse.
Almost at the same time as it disappeared, an additional hand appeared next to the Golden Man.
Circles of black energy surged around the golden man, eroding the hand like a tidal wave.
"Seeking death!" King Xiutu shouted.
The golden man has the power to connect ghosts and gods. If the Han general wants to take it away, he will undoubtedly seek death.
However, the black energy stimulated by the golden man did not have its intended use.
The hand seemed to be filled with lightning, which was indestructible. It penetrated the black energy emitted by the golden man, grabbed the golden man's neck, and held him in his hand.
The altar beneath the golden man shook and cracked.
The two shamans coughed up blood as if they had been hit hard, and their faces looked like gold paper.
The golden man was snatched away from the animal skin altar covered with incantations.
King Xiutu and King Hunxie could no longer suppress their horror.
That general of the Han people, Champion Hou...he...he forcibly captured him when the Golden Man was worshiping the sky to activate his strength!
... King Xiutu turned pale.
He looked up and saw on the horse a little further away, the Han general champion Hou Anran was sitting upright, holding in his hand the doll-like golden man whose luster had completely disappeared!
At this moment, King Xiutu felt another dark and cold hand reach out of thin air beside him.
He reacted very quickly and blocked it, but the hand had no substance at all. It passed through the air and grabbed his neck!
This is the shadowy body of the military strategist that Huo Qubing secretly released!
His Yin body was formed by merging the aura between life and death and the will to kill in the past battlefields.
Huo Qubing's blessing came first, and while taking away the golden man, he released his Yin body and attacked King Xiutu!
At this moment, King Xiutu felt a strong crisis.
An old, withered bone fragment flew out of his waist pouch!
The remains of ancestors blessed by the shaman.
The bone fragments glowed, helping him resist the Yin body's attack.
Clang!
Not far away, King Hunxie struck out with his sword.
The whole body of the knife was glowing with scarlet blood. When it was slashed out, ripples in the void were sideways, as if it had been cut open.
The force of the knife collided with the Qi of the Yin body, combined with the bone fragments and protective power urged by King Xiutu.
King Xiutu roared wildly, and finally managed to break away from the Yin body's attack on his neck, and retreated.
There was a black Yin body fingerprint left on his neck, and his face was purple. His soul was throbbing, as if the power of his soul had been extracted and absorbed, and he had a splitting headache.
Although King Xiutu escaped, he was still in shock.
The shadowy body disappeared quietly, its trace unknown.
He stood with King Hunxie, surrounded by soldiers.
The tyranny of this Han general, Champion Hou, made the two of them feel a little scared.
No wonder it was able to severely injure the great Chan Yu Yizhixie and break open the court of the Huns.
Suddenly, there was a roar!
From the other direction of the camp where they were stationed, the horn signal of enemy attack sounded again.
There is also a Han army, rushing to attack quickly!
It's Zhao Ponu, the Han Forbidden Army led by Yao Zhao, numbering ten thousand people!
Why did Huo Qubing choose to attack the camp at this moment after going in circles for two days?
The reason is that waiting for the teams of Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao to join together and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop can reduce consumption.
Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao followed him for several years.
They were influenced by what they heard and saw, and they also knew how to march. Although they were not comparable to Huo Qubing, they marched much faster than usual, so they were able to travel thousands of miles in two days to arrive at the rendezvous.
This time, Huo Qubing did not take the route taken by the inherent champions in history, but told Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu the route.
He led the Xiongnu tribes in circles on the grassland to attract the enemy's attention.
This provided Zhao Ponu and Yao Zhao with a more convenient marching opportunity.
The two then successfully rushed over with the help of their own marching plans and the bamboo slips of military plans that Huo Qubing had divided up for them in advance. They completed the rendezvous with Huo Qubing and launched the offensive!
The appearance of Han troops along the way.
It became the last straw that crushed the already shaky confidence of King Xiutu and King Hunxie!
King Hunxie shouted: "Withdraw your troops, withdraw!"
I was full of confidence before that I could stop the Han army here and gain an advantage.
But the current situation is unfavorable, and it is impossible for him to consume all the tribe's strength in an unreserved fight with the Han army!
Ps: In the past few days, I have been thinking about how to fight more novelly, trying to be as unconventional as possible and in line with military thinking. In addition to checking the military formations, military books and other information...it was more difficult to write than expected, I'm bald~
Today it is still over 9,000, and the number of words in three chapters has been increased~
