Where the Xiongnu Royal Court is located, the ground shakes and gravel jumps. It is the hollow vibration caused by the hoofs of the Han army trampling the earth.
The sound of hoofbeats rises and falls at the same time, and the sound becomes more and more terrifying.
Juqu, King Youxian, led his people to the outside of the continuous tents in the royal court and looked south.
At the end of the line of sight, a team was rising and falling like a tide, coming from a distance.
The soldiers in the team were flying with their spears, and they continued to pick off the Huns soldiers and horses who tried to stop them as they moved forward.
It’s hard to imagine that a team could rush into battle so quickly, full of the momentum of going forward in an unstoppable way and risking one’s own life!
Huo Qubing was using all his strength to activate the magical marching technique. His eyes were like hawks, looking towards the high ground of the Royal Court from afar.
"Kill!"
The overwhelming shouts of killing!
"The morale of the Han army is so high that they underestimate our grassland tribes!"
Juqu shouted sharply: "Blow the battle horn and order all the troops to fight to the death with the Han army!"
"If we lose this battle, everyone will be dead. Only one of us and the Han army can survive!"
Ju Quqiu shouted angrily, making the surrounding Huns dignitaries look stern.
They were affected by the momentum of the Han army, and they were indeed not as clear as Juqujiu.
Outside the king's tent, a messenger was blowing a huge war horn, the sound was deep and powerful, with a desolate mood.
The war cry is telling all tribes on the grassland that fighting will lead to survival, and defeat will lead to death.
Call on all ministries to fight bravely to resist the Han army!
The elite soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu royal court were mobilized by Yudu to attack the Western Region, and they were in a moment of emptiness. However, when all the ministries were gathered together and the Chinese army left behind at the royal court, there were still nearly 30,000 troops, far ahead of the Han army charging into the formation.
"The Han army is far outnumbered by me. Let all the Chinese army press forward and confront them. Anyone who avoids the battle will be killed without mercy!"
Ju Qujii said decisively: "The Han army only has a few thousand men, so I will kill them with random swords!"
With the Great Chanyu and Jujuan absent, Juqujiu became the supreme commander of the Xiongnu.
And beside Juqu, there were several important figures of the Huns, including Uwei, who was the king of Zuoguli at the time.
He is not yet twenty this year and is the son of Yi Zhixie.
According to history, he would succeed Yi Zhixie and become the Xiongnu Chanyu after seven or eight years, named Uwei Chanyu.
Under the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu, there were the Left and Right Xian Kings and the Left and Right King Guli, who were the highest-ranking ones after the Chanyu.
Unless there was a special period, the position of King Zuoxian would have been filled by Uwe, who was equivalent to the prince of the Huns.
Uwe's figure seems a bit thin at first glance, with a long and thin face, a wolf-like appearance, and raised eyebrows, hiding a hint of ferocity.
He stared at the figure riding at the front of the Han army and suggested: "Let Xubutu personally lead the army to kill the Han army!"
Xubutu was the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army who stayed behind. He was also a famous Xiongnu warrior and had great prestige among the Xiongnu army.
Letting him fight in person can improve the morale of the Huns and counter Huo Qubing.
Juqu nodded and said, "I have the same intention."
Below, the 20,000 Chinese troops arrayed outside the royal court received orders. A tall general wearing armor was Xu Butu.
He waved his hand, and all the Xiongnu troops came out and rolled towards the Han army like a big wave.
The 20,000 Xiongnu soldiers tightened their reins and asked the horses to lower their heads and put their foreheads in front of them when running, preparing for a collision.
All the Xiongnu tribesmen held war spears in their hands, with the spear points sticking out in front of the horses' heads.
At this time, the Han army had just broken through a Xiongnu team that came to stop them. Their momentum slowed down slightly, and the 20,000 Xiongnu central army had already pressed forward.
"The Han army's position is unstable and their numbers are not superior. They will never be able to stop our attack!"
Uwe stared at the battlefield with sharp eyes and gave his own judgment.
Below the high ground, at the moment when the two sides collided, the Han army's saddles and hoofs suddenly changed. The halos of secret patterns intertwined and converged into a secret pattern barrier in front of the horses, matching the military formation prompted by Huo Qubing!
Boom!
The 20,000 Huns cavalry seemed to have crashed head-on into a mountain wall.
At the collision point, the air waves surged!
The Han army's solid strength remained motionless.
Suddenly, the two armies began to fight in close combat.
The void was filled with the sharp sound of the weapon chopping too fast and tearing the air current.
In front of the Han army, Jin'an charged forward with all his strength, his big hooves flying, and he knocked away two Xiongnu soldiers in succession, penetrated deep into the enemy's formation, and charged wildly.
It kicked the ground with its hind hooves, exploding with astonishing force. It kicked back while running, injuring people and killing horses.
Jin'an's two big horse eyes were staring at the rear of the queue from the air, where the Xiongnu Zuodu Lieutenant Xu Butu led the 20,000 people to kill them.
Without Huo Qubing's orders, Jin'an had already arranged the target to hunt down the enemy generals, and rushed all the way with Huo Qubing on his back.
As Jin'an rushed into the enemy formation, Huo Qubing's hand holding the Overlord's Halberd sank downwards, and the halberd trembled and was drawn out, like a green dragon waving its tail.
The surrounding Xiongnu tribesmen and horses staggered and fell sideways, and their leather armor cracked and exploded under the strong force.
One man and one horse, he went straight into the midst of thousands of troops.
After Huo Qubing's death, the Han army, led by Fu Luzhi and Chen Qing, held Han knives in their hands. While slashing their opponents, they also launched small-scale military formation changes and cooperated with each other.
At this time, Huo Qubing, who was in the enemy formation, suddenly got off his horse and appeared a few feet in front of Xu Butu.
Such a fast speed... On the high ground, Ju Qujiu and others thought.
Xubutu shouted: "General Yudu also dare not attack the formation of ten thousand people alone, you are looking for death!"
A lieutenant beside him took the initiative to meet him, thrusting out the big spear in his hand with great force.
Crack!
The moment the spear blade hit Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing's figure was shattered.
Suspicious tactics, mirage dragon illusion.
When the figure shattered, the big spear in Xu Bu Tu's lieutenant's hand sank, but it was Huo Qubing who put one foot on the spear shaft, and the other foot flashed forward, the end of the foot changed, it seemed to be attacking but not attacking.
When he kicked out, Xubutu's lieutenant swung his spear with his cross arm, trying to throw Huo Qubing off and at the same time summoning his strength to protect himself.
But the power he released suddenly melted away under Huo Qubing's feet, and the kick that was thrown at him continued to amplify in his consciousness.
boom!
Xu Butu's lieutenant felt as if his Tianling Cap had been hit by a giant hammer.
His head was shot directly into the abdominal cavity.
From a spectator's perspective, Huo Qubing pressed down with one foot, breaking his neck bones, his head disappeared, and his abdomen swelled strangely.
Immediately, the entire abdominal cavity exploded.
And Huo Qubing came to Xu Butu in the blink of an eye.
Beside him, several soldiers risked their lives to save him.
Xu Butu pulled away and retreated.
However, a big star appeared nearby.
Everyone seemed to be still for a moment, but Huo Qubing's speed increased instead of slowing down, and he appeared behind Xu Butu in a flash.
After a moment of silence, Xu Butu fell from his horse, and a fist-sized hole appeared in his chest. It was a fatal injury caused by being penetrated by the Overlord's Halberd!
After Huo Qubing died, Jin'an also rushed out from the enemy's formation and picked him up on his back again.
At this time, the two were less than three hundred feet away from the high ground where Ulaanbaatar was located.
However, Juqu used the order he had just sent to send 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack. Only 3,000 soldiers were left standing around the royal court.
Jin'an began to approach the high ground, his horses and steps staggered, neither fast nor slow.
In the rear, Chen Qing, Fu Luzhi and other generals were still leading the Han army to fight with the Huns!
"Press all the soldiers up!"
With a ferocious look on his face, Ju Qu pointed at Huo Qubing: "He wants to ride into the battle alone and send an order. Anyone who can kill this Han general Huo Qubing will be rewarded heavily. Those who are below the rank of a household can be directly promoted to the rank of a household!"
The war trumpet quickly conveyed Ju Qujiu's order.
The remaining three thousand Xiongnu soldiers shouted in unison and their horses beat.
The sun was shining brightly and the battlefield was chaotic.
Jin'an, who was in the middle of the two armies, suddenly surged in speed and rushed towards the high ground.
What surprised the Huns was that with Huo Qubing's riding, another nightmare-like Han army rushed out of thin air on the flanks of the battlefield!
This Han army used a secret plan to hide outside the battlefield in advance, so that no one discovered their whereabouts.
Their sudden appearance and sudden attack on the battlefield formed a perfect coordination with Huo Qubing's charge.
"Where did this Han army come from?"
"How come there are still Han troops?!"
The leader of the Han army that rushed out was none other than Zhao Anji, who had disappeared without a trace after leaving Nanyue Kingdom!
Many days ago, Zhao Anji's team received an order to leave South Vietnam. On the way back to Chang'an, they suddenly changed their marching direction and marched northeast from the coastal area where South Vietnam was located.
When Huo Qubing left Chang'an to march to the Western Regions, Zhao Anji led the team and was ordered to come to Kuaiji County, Linhai, in the southeast corner of the Han Dynasty.
He led his two thousand troops to board the Mirage that came to pick them up, marched unimpeded along the coastline, passed through Donghai, Langya, Donglai and other counties, quickly advanced to the Bohai Bay, and finally landed in Youbeiping County.
Then from Beiping County on the right, march diagonally northwest, pass through Wuhuan territory, and go deep into the grassland.
The starting point of this route, Youbeiping County, coincides perfectly with the route used by the historical champion Hou to send his troops north to attack the Huns during the Battle of Mobei.
Their group of troops entered the Xiongnu territory and passed through Lihou Mountain and Gonglu River.
The most suitable tactics for special operations are to go deep behind enemy lines and find the dormant traces at the door.
After they approached the Xiongnu royal court, they used Huo Qubing's secret plan and completely lost their trace.
At that time, the Xiongnu were deploying troops in the Western Regions, and there were not many scouts to detect and set up defenses, so Zhao Anjineng led his troops to not far from the royal court and waited in hibernation.
It wasn't until Huo Qubing came with his troops that Zhao Anji's team came out at the best opportunity to form cooperation.
The impact of an extra Han army on the Xiongnu soldiers can be imagined.
The most wonderful thing about the whole process is that Huo Qubing used the sea route to march, which not only increased his speed, but also chose an unexpected route.
During this Han-Hong war, everyone's attention was focused on the Western Regions. No one thought that Huo Qubing would transport troops by sea and let Zhao Anji's team enter from Youbeiping County, choosing the weakest route for the Huns' defense.
The whole process, like a stroke of genius, provided the best support for Huo Qubing to conquer the royal court at this moment.
Juqu had used up all the soldiers he had with the two previous orders.
In front of him, there were only three thousand soldiers left outside the Xiongnu King's court.
Huo Qubing and Zhao Anji's soldiers and horses converged, almost making an empty goal!
"The Marquis's skill in using troops is just about to show these barbarians how our Han army fights!"
Zhao Anji's two thousand troops, following Huo Qubing, rushed into the Xiongnu's remaining troops and horses.
Three thousand Xiongnu soldiers wanted to stop Zhao Anji's two thousand special elites... it was impossible.
As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, the Xiongnu flank was broken and a gap was opened.
The Han army broke through the Xiongnu's last line of defense at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Huo Qubing, Zhao Anji, and even the Han army behind them, rushed straight to the high ground of the Xiongnu Royal Court!
A hundred feet away, Ju Qujiu and others all looked pale, and some people started to run away in the uproar.
"King Youxian, let's retreat too."
The "brutal" level of the Han army and Huo Qubing's miraculous military skills made these Xiongnu dignitaries fearful.
"It'll be too late if you don't leave!"
————
Chang'an, the emperor's study.
There was a sudden burst of cheers.
For such an important battle in the Xiongnu Royal Court, the emperor, ministers, and Liu Qing were all watching the battle from a distance.
At this moment, everyone looked overjoyed.
"Huo Hou's use of troops was truly unexpected. He turned the attack on the royal court into an ambush against the enemy!"
