The Xiongnu believed in the Kunlun God. Every year, various tribes of the Xiongnu would gather in Dragon City to worship heaven and earth, their ancestors, and the Kunlun God. Before the war, sacrifices were also held, and the priests were responsible for conducting the sacrifices.
"What if the Kunlun God is invited to come?" Gu Tu said.
"Kunlun God's power can only stay in the human world for one day. Are you sure you want to use it now?" the priest said.
Gu Tu was silent for a moment and waved his hand, "It's better to wait until the decisive battle before using it."
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Lian Po asked immediately after returning to the camp. He couldn't wait any longer.
The rear had just finished building two thousand pairs of full armor according to the standards he required, and sent people to rush to deliver them. They worked non-stop along the way, and finally delivered them to Jiuyuan last night.
Each piece of armor is tailor-made from head to toe, providing full-body defense. Ordinary attacks have no effect on this set of armor.
Lian Po was eager to test his strength through actual combat.
The other generals are also gearing up and want to have a fight with Rong Di.
Zhao Kuo smiled, walked to the main seat and sat down. His eyes swept over everyone's face. Everyone held their heads high, hoping that Zhao Kuo would call their names.
"Pang Nuan obeys the order." Finally, Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
"The end will be here." Pang Nuan's face lit up, he took a step forward, cupped his fists and said.
"I order you to lead 30,000 cavalry, go north out of the ancient Siyang Road, cross the Yangshan and Yinshan Mountains, attack the Xiongnu base camp, and wipe out the Xiongnu rear." Zhao Kuo said loudly.
Almost all the Xiongnu troops are on the front line, and even if there are a certain number of soldiers left in the rear, there will definitely not be many. However, to be on the safe side, Zhao Kuo still gave Pang Nuan 30,000 troops.
"No." Pang Nuan was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be this order. Then he looked happy. Although he could no longer fight the Huns head-on, the thought of destroying the Huns' base camp made Pang Nuan tremble with excitement. He immediately took the military order, turned around and strode away.
"Lejian, Qingshe, and Rongben obey orders." Zhao Kuo ordered the generals again.
"The general is here." The three of them looked excited and took a step forward, clasping their fists and saying.
"The three of you each commanded 3,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 Rongdi soldiers. They went north from the ancient Jinyang Road, bypassed the Yinshan Mountains, and attacked Gaoque Fortress, Jilu Fortress and Wuyuan Fortress, cutting off the Xiongnu's retreat. The three fortresses were lost. After more than ten years, it’s time to return to our country of Zhao. In this battle, I will keep all the Huns in Hetao." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
After King Wuling of Zhao occupied Hetao, in order to resist the Huns from the north, he built several forts in the south of Langshan to prevent the Huns from going south. Among them, Gaoque Fortress and Jilu Fortress are just pure military fortresses, while Wuyuan is not only a military fortress, but also the main important city of Zhao State in the northwest region.
Historically, after the Zhao Kingdom was lost, it was not recovered until Meng Tian. However, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the south of Yinshan Mountain fell into the hands of the Xiongnu again. It was not recovered again until the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"No." The three said solemnly. Although they could not participate in the frontal battlefield, nor could they make a surprise attack on the hinterland of the Huns like Pang Nuan, it was still a great achievement to be able to cut off the enemy's retreat.
"Jun Lou Fan, it's up to you to assist them two in this matter. I remember that one of your Lou Fan faction defected to the Huns. The Huns probably can't tell which branch you Lou Fan guys belong to." Zhao Kuo looked at Lou Fan Jun.
Until now, when those Rong Di stood in front of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo couldn't tell which ones belonged to Lin Hu, which ones belonged to Lou Fan, or to the He Zong. In his opinion, the Huns were already very good at distinguishing these, and it was impossible to tell which branch of Loufan they belonged to.
In fact, Zhao Kuo still overestimated the Huns. The Huns, like Zhao, could not distinguish the relationship between Rong and Di. In the eyes of the State of Zhao, no matter the Xiongnu, Lin Hu, or Lou Fan, they are all Rongdi and belong to the same group. But from the Xiongnu's point of view, he and they were not the same people at all.
"General, I understand." Loufanjun Qiya leaned over and said.
The four people turned and left, and Zhao Kuo continued to arrange military orders. "In addition, send someone to inform Sima Shang to lead 15,000 Great Wall Guards troops out of the Yinshan Baidao from the north to attack the base camps of Hurui and Loufan."
Zhao Kuo left Sima Shang in Yuanyang, waiting for
this day. If the Xiongnu wants to attack, they can't let go of the Xiongnu and Loufan.
"Three days later, at nine o'clock and three quarters, all the troops will be mobilized to attack the Xiongnu. After this battle, there will be no more Rongdi in the northern border of Zhao." Immediately afterwards, Zhao Kuo stood up and said loudly.
"No more Rong Di." Everyone said loudly.
"Okay, let's go down and get ready." Zhao Kuo said.
In the next three days, Zhao Jun's food was very rich. All the cattle and sheep of General Zhao Kuo were brought out, as well as a large amount of pork, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. transported from the rear. Every soldier could eat meat. , even Rong Di can get a piece of it.
After winning, Zhao Guo will get all the cattle, sheep and livestock of Rong Di, no less than this. If they lose...it is impossible for Zhao Guo to lose.
Along with the meat, there was also a large amount of wine. Zhao people loved wine, and there were wine houses everywhere among the people. However, drinking has always been prohibited in the army. This time it is an exception. Except for the guards, every soldier can be given a bowl of wine every meal, so that the soldiers who have not had the smell of alcohol for months can satisfy their cravings and boost their morale. As it continued to rise, even the war clouds in the sky became denser.
Zhao Kuo dispersed the soldiers of Rong and Di to various legions to serve as Zhao Jun's retinues, and issued armor and weapons to them. It was difficult for these Rong and Di to take on big responsibilities, but if they followed Zhao Jun, they could still perform to some extent. Some combative ones.
The Xiongnu seemed to have sensed Zhao Jun's strange movements and had some suspicions in their minds. After all, Zhao Jun did not hide anything at all. The Huns began to mobilize their troops from the rear. Gu Tu also sent troops to sneak attack Zhao Jun, but was discovered by Lian Po who was guarding the camp, and none of them escaped.
After that, the Xiongnu gave up the idea of sneak attack on Zhao Jun.
Three days later, before dawn, all the soldiers filled a bucket of salted water in a bamboo tube and tied it around their waists. They also received two pieces of dry food and stuffed them into their arms. They put on their helmets and armor and went to their respective places. Gather in front of the military camp. Then, under the leadership of the general, they began to leave the camp. The war clouds in the sky rolled crazily, covering the sky and the sun, like huge waves on the sea floor that kept hitting the earth.
A chilling atmosphere filled the space, no one whispered to each other, and even Rong Di's soldiers were infected by the atmosphere and became rigid.
All the cavalry are equipped with saddles, stirrups, and iron shoes. At this point, there is no need to hide anymore. Use whatever means are available.
Zhao Kuo stood on a tall chariot, pulled by six majestic horses, and slowly approached the battlefield. Cai Ze, Li Fu, Huang Shigong, Han Fei, Li Si and others also rode on the chariot, and Zhao Kuo including parallelism.
