Ziyou was a little dazed when the carriage disappeared. He looked at his body, which could be said to be strong, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
But Ziyou didn't think much about it. Instead, he looked at the dead high priest and the ruined camp. A desolation enveloped the entire camp. The originally fresh grass on the ground was also a little yellow at the moment. If he swallows it, the entire Haobao clan will be exterminated if nothing happens.
At this time, Yanmen County.
Touman rode on horseback and led some tribal leaders to look at the captured grain, grass and jewelry with satisfied smiles on their faces. The tribal leaders' eyes turned red when they looked at the grain, grass and jewelry. If it weren't for the Huns' cavalry surrounding them, they would have wanted to do it themselves. Go grab it.
"It should be like what this Shanyu said, as long as we, the prairie warriors, are brave enough to charge together without fear of death, there will be no uneven city." Touman laughed.
"What Shan Yu said is right, we shouldn't listen to leader Lin Hu." Some tribal leaders responded.
"These treasures and grains are yours, you divide them among yourself." Touman said, pointing to the piled grains, grass and jewelry.
Everyone looked at the mountains of grain, grass and jewels with disbelief in their eyes. They didn't expect Touman to give up on the division. Some smart leaders immediately got off their horses and shouted to Touman.
"Thanks to the Great Chanyu for the reward, from now on our... tribe will obey the Great Chanyu's orders and are willing to become the pawns of the Great Chanyu."
Naturally, they are not idiots to become the leader of a tribe. They can see Touman's ambition to unify the grassland. The same Donghu royal family and Linhu can also fight against the Huns, so it is difficult for them to decide who to join. Now it is advantageous to follow Touman. Unfortunately, they turned to Touman.
Seeing someone taking the lead, the other leaders only hesitated for a moment before dismounting and half-kneeling to pledge allegiance to Touman, including the leader of Xiu. Xiu also understood that the situation was pressing. He could surrender today and stab him in the back tomorrow. There are many kinds of dramas not only in the Central Plains, but also in the grasslands.
Touman couldn't help laughing when he saw the loyalty of these people, and said
"Get up quickly. Follow this Chanyu and I can guarantee that your tribe will only get better and better. You will get better pastures than now. Now follow this Chanyu south and we will plunder the entire Yanmen County."
"Plunder Yanmen County!!"
For a time, the 150,000 Xiongnu army began to move south. Although Touman integrated these people, they did not capture any city for the next two days. This made Touman a little anxious, and then began to storm a city. Li Mu looked at the Xiongnu The movement of the army knew that the time had come.
Touman rode on his horse with a gloomy face. He had gained nothing in two days. In addition, the Linhu and Donghu royal families attacked Yanmen Pass and forced Li Mu to abandon his troops and flee. These people's original intention to seek refuge with the Xiongnu began to waver. If it were not for the unification of the grassland, , Touman wants to kill these people now. He needs a victory to completely defeat these people.
"Report! Chanyu, we have found traces of Li Mu!" said a Hun cavalry spy.
"Are you sure it's Li Mu?" Touman looked at the spy seriously and asked.
"Yes, I saw Li Mu's flag with my own eyes. At the same time, our vanguard encountered thousands of troops. They broke up and fled towards the front as soon as they fought." The spy said.
"Li Mu, the turtle, finally came out." Touman said fiercely. In his opinion, if these city walls were not strong, they would have taken over the entire Yanmen County. Now that Li Mu, the border general, has been met by him, how could he Let it go, although he looked down on Li Mu, a guy who abandoned the city and fled, but catching this Zhao general and destroying the main force of the Zhao border army would be very beneficial to his reputation.
"Declare everyone to follow me and hunt down Li Mu!!"
After Touman's order was announced, the entire Xiongnu army of 150,000 people rushed out towards the Qingshan location where Li Mu was. Looking at the mighty Xiongnu army coming towards them, a sneer appeared on Li Mu's face.
"Let the chariot troops block the Xiongnu's retreat, and the archers on the highlands on both sides shoot the enemies regardless of any losses. Order Sima Shang to lead the cavalry troops to harass the flanks."
Touman looked at Li Mu's chariot on the top of the mountain and the surrounding mountains. He was panicked. Although he was a reckless man, he was not a fool. Their cavalry had no advantage in this kind of terrain. He shouted loudly
"retreat!!"
The other tribal leaders reined in their reins and looked at Touman in confusion. Before they could remember to ask, endless chariots rushed out from behind them, and a large number of chariots appeared all around, constantly attacking their cavalry formations. A large number of Zhao troops appeared on both sides, and a rain of arrows fell that blocked the sky.
"Erlangs, don't be afraid, follow me to break out of the siege." Touman no longer had the determination to dominate the grassland at this moment, and just wanted to escape.
When Touman turned his horse and prepared to lead the army to fight out, the eagle shooter beside Li Mu drew his bow and pointed it at Touman.
"Chan Yu, be careful!!" Touman's priest threw Touman down, and the priest blocked the arrow with his own life.
Li Mu watched the chariots continue to shrink the battlefield. The shrinking of the battlefield made the Huns' 150,000 troops crowded together and unable to take advantage of their mobility. They were hit by a large number of arrows and did not dare to raise their heads. Once they wanted to break out, they would come towards them. It was Zhao Bianqi who was on the periphery of the battlefield and massacred the troops trying to escape wantonly.
For a time, the sound of killings was loud, the wails continued, and the whole earth was dyed red with blood. The war lasted until the night and stopped. Sima Shang looked at the long sword in his hand that had been cut to the nick and rubbed his sore shoulders. He didn't know how many times he slashed in this battle.
Looking at the mountains of corpses, Sima Shang couldn't help but take a breath of air. There was not a single person left alive in the 150,000-strong army in one day.
"How is it?" Li Mu looked at Sima Shang and asked.
"I'm fine, I just let this guy Touman escape with two or three people. What should I do with these corpses?" Sima Shang asked.
"Cut off their heads. When Donghu is defeated, I will build a Jingguan outside Yanmen Pass." Li Mu said gloomily.
"What!?" Sima Shang was also frightened by Li Mu's idea. How spectacular the Jingguan made of 150,000 people must be. Although it was from a foreign race, it was a bit too cruel.
"Don't be surprised. This is what we must do. If we want to maintain the stability of the border, we must frighten the tribes in the grassland. Order the defenders of each city to attack the barbarian camp at midnight tonight. No one or one horse can be let go. ." Li Mu said.
"yes!"
At this time, in the Hu camp, the faces of the leaders of Donghu and Linhu were not good-looking. The news about Touman leading people to plunder came out in this alliance. For a while, their tribes began to waver, and some people even Because he had caught up with Touman, leader Donghu no longer listened to leader Linhu's advice and led his men to attack Yanmen Pass. This wise behavior made leader Linhu unable to stand it anymore and turned around and left. Just as the two of them were cold. While looking at each other coldly, the sound of fire and the sound of rushing and killing could be heard outside the camp.
The two of them stopped fighting and walked out of the king's tent one after another, grabbing the people who were escaping in a hurry and saying,
"what happened?"
"Chief, the Zhao army is coming, and Touman Shanyu's 150,000-strong army has been wiped out!" After saying this, the soldier turned around and ran away.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!!" Li Mu shouted on his horse.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!!!" Zhao Jun heard Li Mu's voice shouting in unison, but his movements did not stop, and he continued to harvest the barbarians.
ps: In the last year of King Zhao Xiaocheng (244 BC), Li Mu defeated the Huns and killed more than 100,000 horses. Destroyed Xiu, defeated Donghu, subdued Linhu, and Shanyu escaped.
