The moonlight is bright and clear.
In the camp, nearly 5,000 Han troops were resting and recuperating while guarding some Huns prisoners.
In the previous battle, Roshna and others had been watching from a distance from the back of the queue. At this time, the fighting stopped and they approached Huo Qubing.
A group of people looked at the entire camp.
There were Han troops around to guard the camp, setting up defenses and carefully searching all parts of the camp.
Roshna followed Huo Qubing step by step.
The two envoys from Qiuci and Gumo were suffering from horse-sickness, vomiting for days, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
But after following the team for many days, I got used to it. At this time, the two of them were in great spirits, and they found it incredible that Huo Qubing had defeated all the powerful Xiongnu armies in just a few days.
"What are Huo Hou's plans next?" Zhang Qian on the other side asked.
"Now that the three Han armies have gathered together, I have 25,000 troops. There is no need to use tactics in the next attack. Just kill the Xiongnu tribe directly."
In Huo Qubing's perception, King Xiutu and King Zhenghe Hunxie, who were controlled through the method of resurrecting corpses, were in Na's name.
The two were close to Luotangjian and King Zhelan.
At the moment when he was approaching, King Hunxie took the lead and struck Luotajian directly from the flank.
King Xiutu also drew his sword and struck King Zhelan under the influence of Huo Qubing's military strategy.
The two men struck very suddenly, leaving King Zhelan and Luotangjian completely defenseless.
King Hunxie is also a strong man who is braver than the Xiongnu, and his power is like a long river flowing to the ground.
Luotianjian responded hastily, but his defense was broken by King Hunxie. He hit his waist and ribs with a punch, almost breaking his ribs.
King Hunxie launches his offensive and presses forward with every move!
"You actually surrendered to the enemy?" King Zhelan shouted angrily!
"Do it!"
The Huns who followed King Hunxie were all his die-hard loyalists, and there were also some elite Han soldiers hiding among them.
These people launched an offensive at the same time and attacked the Xiongnu tribe.
The situation is chaotic.
General Na Boqing, who previously led the two coalition forces of Hunxie and Xiutu, and was with King Zhelan and others, was also under King Hunxie.
He was confused at this time and didn't know what was going on.
King Hunxie rushed to attack the severely injured Luoting Jian, and then yelled at Naboqing: "Don't do it yet!"
Naboqing realized this and immediately dispatched his troops to join the battle.
More Han troops came from behind.
Zhao Ponu, Yao Zhao and others led their respective troops and joined the battle.
Arrows flew across the sky and penetrated the armor, and screams filled the battlefield in the blink of an eye!
The swords clashed, and pairs of scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent stared at the opponent.
The centuries-old hatred between the Han and the Xiongnu ushered in the best catharsis at this moment.
The smell of blood in the air quickly became stronger, and the number of corpses gradually increased.
This is the surrender certificate that Huo Qubing asked King Hunxie to hand over.
If you want to rebel, you have to jump to the bottom and let King Hunxie lead his troops to attack and kill King Zhelan and Luotianjian. Then there will be no possibility of them returning to the Huns.
The fight between the two sides lasted until the moon passed the zenith.
Both sides suffered heavy losses, but the Han army's main losses were the men and horses of the Hunxie tribe.
Some of these Huns soldiers must be consumed.
————
In the camp where Huo Qubing was, he was taking out the array diagrams.
These formation diagrams were not only the military formation diagrams he had carved in advance, but there were also two of the Mohist formation diagrams that he had taken from Ji Qiu.
Can assist in repairing fortifications.
When it comes to heritage and treasures, the Xiongnu, whose rise was only a century old, are much worse than the Han, who have been in charge of the land of China and whose civilization has lasted for thousands of years.
Therefore, the Xiongnu had many arrangements in this camp, but they were not as powerful as the imperial ax in Huo Qubing's hands.
When he sent the Mohist formation diagram underground.
It spreads, and the soil on the ground is pushed by the construction power of the array. The soil and stone rise, as if they will grow, forming a low soil and stone wall. The Mohist formations overlapped to form simple fortifications.
The damage caused by the fighting in the camp was slowly being filled up.
Huo Qubing released the two military formation diagrams he had prepared in advance to coordinate with the Mohist formation diagrams.
The atmosphere of the entire camp changed immediately, and the weapons were fierce. Under the influence of the suspicious tactics, the situation in the camp was unpredictable, and there seemed to be tens of thousands of troops.
This is also the reason why Feng Ti rushed over and saw the military strength in the camp.
At this time, Huo Qubing strengthened this arrangement again.
In fact, after dark, the three Han armies converged, and he sent most of the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses out to attack Luotangjian and Zhelan tribesmen.
There were less than five thousand Han troops in the camp.
"What if the Huns outside come to attack us?"
The speaker was the envoy Gumo, and he was asking Zhang Qian beside him.
Zhang Qian looked outside the camp and could see a group of Huns soldiers and horses in the distance, stopping to watch.
"The other party came over and saw that we had occupied the camp. Hunxie and Xiutu were defeated without a trace. The depth is unpredictable. They will not rush into the camp easily and lose their troops."
Zhang Qian responded: "Besides, we still have five thousand troops here. Although our troops are tired, if there is a fight, with Huo Hou sitting in command, they may not have a chance of winning. In another two hours, our troops will have rested. If they do not retreat, they will Maybe Huo Hou will take the initiative."
While Zhang Qian was talking, he glanced at Champion Hou not far away.
Huo Qubing was looking at the sea of consciousness inside.
In his book of military knowledge, there is a new strategy being launched - attacking in the east and attacking in the west.
Another reason why he continued to use tricks was to accumulate the luck of military power in the four realms.
This time, the Xiongnu tribes were lured to chase, and then they raided Xiutu. The camps of the two kings Hunxie were in line with the strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west.
Once this strategy came out, Huo Qubing mastered twelve magical magical powers.
In the military book, luck is abundant and light is dazzling.
Moreover, this battle was won continuously, and the Lingluo Soldier Talisman successively compiled several symbols from the ancient well, hanging like stars in the sea of consciousness.
When this battle is over, Huo Qubing will usher in a new period of strength growth.
But even though he won consecutively, he still felt a little uneasy.
There was still no movement from Yudu, which meant that he was not here and did not come to the Western Huns. He most likely went to Hanbei Pass in person and had other plans.
Huo Qubing glanced in the direction of Dahan Beiguan.
On the Western Huns side, there may be several tough battles to be fought in the future.
However, Huo Qubing has secured a decisive advantage and has basically stabilized in the first round of confrontation.
As for the Xiongnu, it will be difficult to gather strength in the short term to have an impact on the current situation.
The war between the Western Huns is initially decided.
"Will Marquis Huo personally lead troops into our Western Region and destroy Loulan, Pulei and other countries?" Roshna asked softly.
Huo Qubing said: "In the confrontation with the Xiongnu, we currently have the upper hand, but we need to continue to expand our advantage and strive for victory with all our strength.
However, Loulan and Pulei are both small countries with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. I will send Zhao Ponu and his troops to follow you to the Western Regions. "
The implication is that he has no interest in playing Loulan and Pu Lei.
Roshna suddenly looked disappointed.
If Huo Qubing is willing to go to the Western Regions in person, Loulan and Pu Lei will be unable to counterattack, and the danger in the Western Regions can be easily relieved.
Huo Qubing looked at Roshna: "The battle between the Han and the Xiongnu is centered on the Western Region.
And Yudu saw it accurately and occupied the camp at our feet first. To the west and southwest of this place, Pulei and Loulan can be controlled. To the east, he guarded the Han Dynasty's road to the Western Regions.
I will leave a garrison here, build a pass, and form an angle with Yumen to support each other.
Occupying this place is tantamount to cutting off the Western Xiongnu's support for the Western Regions such as Pulei and Loulan.
If they wanted to support the Western Regions again, they would have to take a detour from Cheshihouguo and pass through the Yanqi area. They could no longer control the Western Regions as closely as before.
The good days of Loulan and Pu Lei are over. "
…
On the battlefield, the yellow sand reflects the moonlight, and the enemy and ourselves are vaguely visible.
Forbidden Army Li Qing pulled out the horse war spear from the chest of a Hun soldier, turned his head and looked into the distance. The battlefield between the two sides stretched for miles, with shouts of killing, blood, and broken limbs everywhere.
A Han soldier next to Li Qing had half a broken arrow stuck in his arm armor, and his arm was red with blood.
But compared to the Han army, the Huns were much worse off.
The strength of both sides is actually about the same.
However, one side mainly attacks and is fully prepared, while the other side is completely passive. The outcome is decided as early as the moment of taking action.
At the beginning of the war, Luoting Jian was severely wounded by King Hunxie and was later captured alive.
The price was that King Xiutu rushed over to assist Luo Tijian, and when he created an opportunity for King Hunxie, he was hit by King Zhelan, killing King Xiutu completely.
At the moment, King Zhelan is also showing a tendency to retreat and is retreating, trying to escape from the battlefield.
The Han army came from all directions and fought against the soldiers and horses of Zhelan tribe and Luo Dijian's tribe.
There were wolf howls in the night. They were wolves from the direction where the desert and the grassland meet. They were attracted by the smell of blood, but they did not dare to get close and wandered outside the battlefield.
The Xiongnu troops were in obvious decline and no longer wanted to fight.
All that's left is to pursue and see how great the results can be.
The fighting between the two parties continued until dawn.
On the other side, Feng Ti tried to rush to camp in the middle of the night.
He was very cautious. Seeing a steady stream of Han troops rushing out of the camp, at least thousands of them, Feng Ti chose to withdraw.
He will join up with the remnant troops of the Zhelan Tribe and Luotingjian, and contact the various troops of the Western Huns in the hope of stabilizing the position and regaining the disadvantage.
However, Huo Qubing laid the victory for the Han army, and the main force of the Han army will push forward later, and the situation will only become more stable!
News of the battle situation on the northwest front was sent back to Chang'an the next morning.
Huo Qubing's speed in using his troops, his decisiveness in his attacks, and his methods of maneuvering across the battlefield are all jaw-dropping.
You know, he led troops to attack the area connecting the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. Up to this point, a total of three days and one night had laid sufficient advantages for a large-scale battle.
So far, Huo Qubing has led the Han army to behead more than 14,000 enemies, captured King Hunxie, beheaded King Xiutu, and sacrificed the Tianjin people. In two days, they defeated the five kingdoms, cut off the Xiongnu's food supplies, captured Luo Tanjian alive, and defeated King Zhelan's tribe.
In the remaining small kingdoms, countless Xiongnu tribesmen were killed.
In Chang'an, the emperor and ministers received the news of frequent victories in the northwest, and recounted Huo Qubing's achievements. It can be imagined that they were in high spirits.
April 1st, noon.
Bohai County on the east side of Han Dynasty ushered in a combination of rain and snow.
Light rain fell with snowflakes falling.
Wei Qing stood on a lookout near the sea in Bohai County, looking at the turbulent sea in the distance, his robes fluttering in the wind.
Behind him was a group of pro-troops, with the deputy general standing beside and behind him holding an umbrella.
Huo Qubing warned that there might be a group of Xiongnu soldiers from the coastal area, invading the Han territory and making a surprise attack.
After Wei Qing left Chang'an, he came in person to check the defenses along the line.
At dawn today, it was indeed discovered that the Xiongnu tribe secretly united with some gangs along the coast to try to land and attack the Han territory.
Because they were well prepared, several gangs that controlled ships were secretly sorted out by the Han army.
It is expected that after entering the sea, the ship carrying Xiongnu soldiers and horses will penetrate the hull, pull out the piston, divert water into the ship, and sink the Xiongnu soldiers who cannot swim into the sea and drown them.
Very simple but effective steps.
However, after discovering signs of Xiongnu military activity in the Han territory in the northeast corner, they have yet to board the ship.
At this time, Wei Qing was standing on the coastline, frowning slightly.
His deputy general was in a high mood and said:
"I received news from Xiu Yi earlier that Huo Hou was victorious in several battles in the northwest. Chanyu's son Luotangjian was captured alive, and all the Xiongnu tribes were defeated. Your Majesty has sent fast horses to all counties in the world. Spread good news.
The general and the Marquis of Huo are the pillars of our Han army. "
After he finished speaking, he saw a thoughtful look on Wei Qing's face and asked, "What is the general thinking about?"
Wei Qing muttered: "The movement of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses is wrong. They seem to be deliberately revealing their whereabouts."
The deputy general said: "General, what do you mean, the Huns are deliberately attracting our attention?"
"They may have known that Qu Bing had seen through their plan, but they still sent troops here... just to take advantage of their plan."
Wei Qing turned to look north: "I came to Bohai County, and Qu Bing is in the northwest. Is Li Guang the one guarding the border at Beiguan?"
