"Chanyu, I'm afraid it's going to rain!"
In the valley road, Di Yi followed Tou Man Shan Yu on horseback. Like Gu Jia, Di Yi was also a Xiongnu leader who had experienced hundreds of battles. He had fought against Yuezhi and Donghu for many years, and coupled with the habits of the Huns, the weak would be killed. disuse.
However, unlike Gu Jia, Di Yi is already in his forties and middle-aged. In terms of personality, he is no longer so energetic, but more stable.
"Before it rains, cross the city wall and enter Woyang!"
Touman Shanyu was riding a horse, looked at the corpse of Qin soldiers dumped on the roadside, and turned to look ahead.
"Chanyu, do we really want to help Zhao Ren Guo Zong? If Guo Zong threatens us the first time, there will be a second time!"
Diyi turned his head and looked behind him at the Zhao man Guo Yi who was riding a horse among the tribesmen. After making sure that the Zhao man Guo Yi could not hear him from this distance, he asked Shan Yu.
In Di's eyes, every man in their tribe was unwilling to let the Huns go to fight for the Zhao people.
What's more, Zhao Ren still used threats.
"Where is the Yuezhi? I don't know what happened this time! If we can't destroy the Yuezhi, we won't have enough energy to fight with the Donghu people!"
Touman Shanyu took a deep breath and mentioned Guo Zong with fierce eyes.
As the leader of the Huns, Touman Chanyu never liked being threatened.
"Chanyu, what Diyi means is that maybe we can take advantage of this time."
Di Yi said softly, but he didn't finish his words.
Touman Shanyu turned his head in surprise and looked at Diyi. He already understood what Diyi meant. He was to take advantage of this trip south and kill Guo Zong directly after seeing him. Guo Zong would naturally be unable to assist Donghu and Donghu. Yuezhi.
"Let's see if we can see him!"
Touman Shanyu said, then looked forward.
However, before Touman Chanyu, Di Yi and other Xiongnu tribe leaders rode far, suddenly, there was a sudden movement on the top of the mountain in the valley in the distance.
Touman Chanyu and other Xiongnu tribe leaders looked up one after another. The next moment, what came into view were huge bundles of timber rolling down. Each tall timber accompanied the steep mountain and moved towards them at a very fast speed. The Xiongnu Chanyu rolled down.
This sudden change made all the Huns panic.
Immediately afterwards, huge rolling stones also rolled down the valley, faster than wooden bundles. In an instant, all the Huns heard the huge and dull sound of the rolling stones.
Within a few breaths, as boulders fell from the tall and steep mountain, some Huns and their horses were knocked to the ground on the spot. The two Huns followed a small amount of dust from the boulders and vomited blood directly. Then there was no sound.
The huge rolling stone carried unparalleled power, and everyone was knocked upside down wherever it rolled.
"There's an ambush! Back away!"
When Touman Shanyu saw the situation around him, he was completely confused. He didn't understand what was going on. Didn't Guo Zong say there would be no problem? Didn't Bai's cavalry already go to Yishui? Now that the side cavalry has gone south, who are these people who ambush them?
But Touman Shanyu had no time to think about those things now. After seeing the ambush, Touman Shanyu came back to his senses and directly turned his horse around and yelled loudly.
"Let's go!"
"Walk!"
All the Huns around him turned their horses around after hearing Touman Shanyu's order. However, in the narrow valley and all the roads behind, there were Huns riding horses.
It is said that the Huns never trained their troops. When facing an ambush, some of the Huns' weaknesses were highlighted. Fortunately, all the Huns were good at riding, otherwise this would have been a fatal weakness.
"This is impossible!"
Guo Yi, one of the Huns, looked at the mountain tops on both sides of the valley. Men wearing cloth clothes and carrying long bows suddenly appeared, numbering in the thousands. Guo Yi was completely stunned.
How can this be?
Where did so many people come from? Who are those people? Where did it come from? And why did they ambush the Huns?
Questions filled Guo Yi's mind. However, when the chaos around him woke him up, Guo Yi noticed that the wooden branches that had rolled down in front and blocked the ancient road together with the boulders seemed to be sprinkled with black water.
Seeing this scene, Guo Yi's pupils shrank. How could Guo Yi not recognize what it was.
When Guo Yi looked at the top of the mountain again, a flaming arrow was thrown down from the top of the mountain. In an instant, countless flaming arrows were flying towards the valley from the tops of the mountains on both sides.
"run!"
Without any time to think, Guo Yi quickly turned his horse and ran towards the direction from which he came.
On top of the mountain.
Kuai Jin watched his arrow ignite a bundle of firewood accurately, nodded with satisfaction, looked at the fleeing Huns, and turned to look at Bai Yan.
"General, the Huns are retreating!"
Kuai Jin said.
Bai Yan nodded and looked at some Huns who had been isolated in the ancient road.
"Kuai Jin, you take two hundred people down, kill those Huns, and then follow the plan and hold enough flags to stay below. Remember, no one is allowed to chase behind you! I will reward the soldiers afterwards. !”
Bai Yan said to Kuai Jin.
From the beginning of the ambush here, Bai Yan had the opportunity to directly trap more, even tens of thousands of Huns under the valley road, but Bai Yan remembered one truth, the enemy must be surrounded, and the poor aggressors should not be pressed.
To be sure of victory when encircling and suppressing the enemy, a gap must be left, otherwise the enemy will fight against the trapped beasts.
The experience summarized by the old timers hundreds of years ago certainly makes sense.
"promise!"
After hearing Bai Yan's order, Kuai Jin raised his hands and said to Bai Yan.
"Everyone else, follow me!"
Bai Yan turned around and ordered.
Behind the top of the mountain, a path has been opened up, leading directly to the mountain in the distance. According to the plan, after stopping the Huns here, the Huns will inevitably return to the outside of the mountains. At this time, the ambush behind them will start in sections. Stop some Huns.
After giving the order, Bai Yan took the lead and walked towards the trail.
Without the clumsy and thick armor, both Bai Yan's speed and the speed of the side cavalry soldiers following him were far higher than during usual training.
The first peak, the second peak, and after bypassing a valley, Bai Yan soon came to the second battlefield.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, hundreds of frontier soldiers were fighting in the valley. Every injured Huns was killed one by one by the frontier soldiers. Compared with just now, the corpses of the Huns who died tragically below the valley were densely packed. , countless arrows still fell to the ground.
"Walk!"
Bai Yan saw that everything was going according to plan, and I was ready to move towards the next battlefield.
However, suddenly, a drop of water fell on Bai Yan's forehead. Bai Yan froze on the spot, looking up at the sky in disbelief.
At this moment.
The other frontier soldiers who were originally puzzled suddenly felt something, touched their faces or foreheads, and then looked at the water in their hands.
"General?"
Zhang looked at Bai Yan with an uneasy look on his face.
At this moment, more than a hundred years ago, I had already been looking at the sky in a daze, it was going to rain! The rain came faster than expected.
Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the side knights standing behind him. They were wearing commoners and holding sharp swords and long swords in their hands. At this time, more and more rain fell from the originally dark sky.
"What should we do? General?"
You looked at Bai Yan.
The original plan was to slowly encroach on the Huns' army, and then the northernmost Yifang would lead the side cavalry to block the Huns' last retreat. However, the sudden rain now looks like it will be heavy later.
Without fire, let alone Yifang who was responsible for the final interception, even the ambushing soldiers along the way would not be able to cause huge casualties to the Xiongnu. In this way, the retreating power of the Xiongnu would not be weakened much.
Under the watchful eye.
Bai Yan looked at the rain falling slowly on his hands.
"Get off the mountain!"
Bai Yan opened his mouth and ordered, looking at the direction in which the Xiongnu left.
After a while.
At the foot of the mountain, as the rain became heavier and heavier, when Bai Yan came to the ancient road, he led nearly 3,000 side cavalry soldiers to the third ambush location.
Rain covered the entire sky. Under the dim sky, apart from the rustling sounds, small and shallow watermarks soon appeared on the ancient road along with the footprints of Bai Yan and the soldiers on the side.
Bai Yan's clothes were dead, and the heavy rain made Bai Yan's tied hair wet. From time to time, he had to wipe the rain off his face with his hands.
"General!"
"General!!"
Huge bundles of firewood and sharply cut branches were scattered all over the valley road, with black water still stained on them. When the three thousand frontier soldiers saw Bai Yan's arrival, they all gave Bai Yan a Yan gave way and looked at Bai Yan.
At this moment, Guan Shou, the general on the cavalry, lowered his head in discomfort when he saw Bai Yan. They did not leave many people behind, and because they were worried that Bai Yan would be in danger once the Xiongnu army returned, Guan Shou did not lead people up and down the mountain as planned. An ambush point, but chose to go down the mountain and wait for Bai Yan to arrive.
"Walk!"
Bai Yan looked at Guan Shou's appearance, glanced at the other soldiers, and walked directly towards the north without saying anything else.
After hearing Bai Yan's words, Guan Shou and his three thousand side cavalry officers followed Bai Yan one after another.
In the heavy rain, Bai Yan did not reach the fourth ambush point this time when he suddenly heard the sound of countless horse hooves. When Bai Yan saw this, he knew that Touman Chanyu had sent some Huns back.
In the valley.
Bai Yan stopped, wiped the rain off his face with his hand, then held the sword in front of him, pulled out the sword, and threw away the scabbard.
Guan Shou followed Bai Yan. When he saw Bai Yan's actions, he quickly raised his hand. Then one by one, the side cavalry officers holding long spears came to Bai Yan's front, and the side cavalry officers holding curved bows also set up their bows. Pull the string and aim the arrow at the valley ahead.
The next moment, the swarming Huns came into everyone's sight.
As the hooves of the war horses trampled in the valley road, galloping together at high speed, from the side, it looked like countless fast figures in succession, swarming towards Bai Yan and his party.
"Fire the arrow!"
Guan Shou's face was full of rain, he turned his head, opened his mouth and shouted angrily.
In an instant, the soldiers on the frontier released their arrows and shot countless arrows at the Huns. In an instant, the Huns on horseback fell to the ground one after another. However, the number of Huns was extremely large, and the remaining Huns had already reached the front of the riding.
Just as the Huns at the front were frantically preparing to let their horses cross the guard at the front, suddenly, the side rider gave way to a small opening, and a burly man suddenly appeared in front of him.
Before the Huns could react, the burly man strode forward.
The Huns quickly pulled out the sharp blade from their waists and held a big iron rod in their hands. They turned sideways and hit the horse's leg with the stick. The horse fell forward. Before the Huns could react, they pierced him with spears. head.
"kill!"
"kill!!"
The remaining rows of frontier soldiers holding Changge rushed towards the Huns.
Behind the soldiers on the side, Bai Yan also walked forward. Under the rain, Bai Yan passed by Zhang and saw that Zhang was holding a Huns on the ground with one hand. He turned around and slapped the strong Huns. He fainted immediately, picked up the wooden stick and swung the other Huns' head so hard that there was a loud noise.
Bai Yan looked forward and stepped forward to see a Hun riding a horse at full speed. He moved his hands, looking at the distance to the Hun, and kept estimating.
In an instant, Bai Yan's pupils shrank, and the sword in his hand flew towards the Huns with all his strength. Originally, the Huns were riding horses with one hand and holding a sharp blade in the other, and were about to kill Bai Yan with a sword. Unexpectedly, the sword flew towards him and he didn't react before he could react. The middle sword declines and the horse dismounts.
Bai Yan stepped forward and drew his sword. In the rain, he saw a Huns fighting with the side riders. Suddenly he saw himself and was heading towards him.
Bai Yan held the sword in both hands. After blocking the Hun's thrust, he put the sword on the Hun's neck and walked forward step by step. Then with the force of his hands, a line of blood suddenly spattered from the Hun's neck, and the Hun fell to the ground. On the ground, with his eyes open, a stream of thick, bright red blood flowed from the rain-soaked ground.
"come!"
Seeing that there were still Huns who dared to rush towards Bai Yan, Yan strode forward, waving a huge iron rod with his burly and powerful arms. In the horrified eyes of the Huns, Yan was as simple as killing an animal.
With his absolute strength and his fierce eyes, even the Huns who had a habit of looting could not help but become frightened.
More and more Huns came back in the valley.
In the valley full of howling and killing sounds, Bai Yan held his sword and walked forward step by step. In the heavy rain, Bai Yan knew that the real danger was not here. There were 6,000 horsemen here, and the Huns wanted to rush over. It's not that simple. The real danger is the five thousand side riders led by Yi Fang.
Without the help of fire, and before reinforcements arrived, the frontier soldiers had to risk their lives to stop the Huns army without any injuries.
"Ah~!"
While thinking about it, Bai Yan saw a side cavalry soldier being stabbed into the abdomen by two Huns holding sharp knives.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yan stepped forward quickly, came behind a Huns, and slashed with both hands. After one of the Huns fell, the other turned his head, and Bai Yan was already approaching quickly. In the same way that the Huns did to the side riders, the Qin sword was pierced into his abdomen, and the thrust went deeper and deeper.
"Uh~!"
The Huns were pushed back by Bai Yan, holding Bai Yan's hand tightly, looking at Bai Yan fiercely, but began to vomit blood from his mouth.
However, apart from being fierce, the Huns looked at the rain. The young Central Plains man in front of them looked at him with rain-covered eyes. That look was something the Huns had never seen before. I don’t know how to describe the look in my eyes.
Scared~! Fear~!
Emotions that had never been seen before appeared in the eyes of the Huns.
When other Huns in the valley saw Bai Yan's hand being grabbed by a tribesman, they all came towards Bai Yan with sharp knives, wanting to kill Bai Yan. They had already noticed that many Huns died here. In the hands of the Central Plains people.
This Central Plains man must be killed!
With this thought, many Huns rushed towards Bai Yan with ferocious faces.
But before they could get close.
A whistling sound rang out amidst the roar of killing. A Huns was beaten so hard that his eyes burst out with blood. On the other side, Guan Shou and other soldiers on the side of the cavalry were also killing the Huns.
Guan Shou and the soldiers on the border were all red-eyed. Just as they said before leaving Woyang, if they drink the blood of the Huns with a smile, they will die. They will kill the Huns and die with a smile.
The border cavalry officers and soldiers were like crazy. They cut down the Huns whenever they saw them, even if they were injured in exchange for injuries, they had no scruples.
This was a ferocity that the Huns had never encountered before. Looking at the Central Plains people who were desperate for their lives, under the heavy rain, more and more Huns' faces began to change, and a touch of fear appeared in their eyes.
Looking at the countless Central Plains people in the valley, they seemed to be crazy and would rather die than kill them.
When had the Huns encountered such a scene? Looking ahead, more and more fell down like grass and grass, and then they were stabbed at the neck by the crazy Central Plains people with swords, and their heads were cut off even if they died. Some The Huns were so frightened that they turned and fled.
Bai Yan felt the power of the Huns holding his hand dissipate, and pulled out the Qin sword with an expression on his face.
After watching the Huns fall, Bai Yan turned around and looked at the soldier who had just fallen.
"General!"
The soldier on the side cavalry leaned against a stone, trembling, and the hand covering his abdomen was full of blood, but his eyes looked at Bai Yan, with a smile on his rain-covered face. Under Bai Yan's gaze, the soldier on the side cavalry Pointing into the distance with a hand full of his own thick blood.
"General, I killed those two Huns. Give them to my family."
As the border knight spoke, he looked at Bai Yan with red eyes. His voice gradually became softer, with a smile on his rain-stained face. Then he opened his eyes as if tired, and slowly lowered his head.
Bai Yan looked at this scene, raindrops dripping on his cheeks, and his eyes were red.
"These two are yours too!"
Bai Yan endured the sadness of parting. After speaking, he turned to look ahead at the retreating Huns army in the heavy rain.
"There are many more! I'll help you kill them!"
Bai Yan murmured softly.
In Bai Yan's eyes, he didn't know the frontier soldier, and he didn't even know his name. He still had a wife and children at home, but Bai Yan didn't mind and killed people for him.
Just like the soldiers looked at him with a smile and called him general!
There is no good in the city.
Peng Yi was lying in the study room of the mansion, drinking tea. There were carefully prepared fruits beside the wooden table. Four charming women were rubbing Peng Yi's shoulders and legs.
No matter what the world is like, no matter where they are, whether they have money or power often determines everything in the world in their eyes.
"Calculate the time, it's time to arrive!"
Peng Yi reached out and picked up a small fruit, smiled and said softly, then took a bite of the fruit and fed the rest to the concubine next to him.
"grown ups!"
Looking at the beautiful concubine, after opening her mouth to eat the wild fruit, Peng Yi showed a smile on her face, looked down, and was about to stretch out her hand to do something frivolous.
However, suddenly there was some arguing outside the door, and the noise became louder and louder.
When Peng Yi heard the sound, he frowned slightly and turned his head, wondering what was happening again.
