Boom! !
The rapid sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the night.
Tadun led 20,000 cavalry back along the seaside road. Because he was worried that Liucheng would be raided, Tadun didn't rest all the way. He was so exhausted that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he stopped to take a nap, recovered a little and continued on his way.
With such a high-intensity rush, many Wuhuan cavalry could not keep up and fell behind directly.
Tadun did not scold the cavalry and allowed a large number of soldiers to follow. He drove back with the cavalry who could hold on. Even though Tadun's inner legs were bruised, his back ached, and his whole body felt uncomfortable, he still persisted.
Fortunately, hard work paid off, and Tadun hurried all the way to finally return to his Liucheng.
As long as he returns to Liucheng and takes charge, even if Zhao Yun comes with his army to kill, he can still organize the Wuhuan people to resist. As long as he is there, the Wuhuan people can unleash a powerful fighting force and hold off the enemy until the subsequent cavalry arrives.
"Faster, faster."
Tadun ordered on his horse.
He continued to move forward, and after another two-quarters of an hour, Tadun approached Liucheng, and he could see Liucheng from a distance. But when Tadun looked over, his eyes suddenly showed a look of shock, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Looking from a distance, the sky in the direction of Liucheng was full of burning fire.
"Quick, go back immediately."
Tadun was nervous all over, and quickly led the cavalry on their way, returning to the vicinity of the king's tent in one breath. The Wuhuan people were wailing as soon as they entered the scene. The corpses of the Wuhuan people were everywhere on the ground, and the surrounding area was a mess caused by the fire.
Tadun's heart was filled with bad breath, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
This time he fell into Zhao Yun's strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Even if he reacted midway and rushed back with all his strength, Liucheng was still attacked.
"Da Shanyu, you are finally back."
An old man from the Wuhuan tribe came dragging his rickety body.
The elder of the Wuhuan tribe looked sad and said: "Da Shanyu, the royal court was attacked by thousands of Han cavalry, and there were countless casualties. The fires burning everywhere caused countless Wuhuan tribesmen to be buried in the sea of fire, and many people were killed and many others were injured. . A lot of livestock were killed and injured as a result of the fire.”
Tadun clenched his fists, feeling depressed inside.
In the past few years, Tadun had monopolized power in Wuhuan, and with the decline of the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan continued to plunder southward, robbing a lot of women and food, and he lived a good life.
This time, the royal court was breached.
What a loss!
It was even more embarrassing.
The clan elder suddenly thought of something and said: "Da Shanyu, the bodies of our clansmen were placed together by the Han people. I don't know the specific word, but I know that it is definitely a demonstration by the Han people."
Tadun asked: "Where?"
The clan elder replied: "It's not far from the king's tent."
"lead the way!"
Tadun gave an order.
The clan elder led the way, and Tadun followed immediately. In a short time, they arrived at the place where the corpses were placed.
Tadun didn't know Chinese characters either, so he immediately called for a literate person to read them. When he heard 'The murderer, Changshan Zhao Zilong', Tadun became even more furious.
Too arrogant!
Too arrogant!
This Zhao Zilong is Zhao Yun who has been scheming against Wuhuan. He is simply seeking death.
He is now very sure that it was Zhao Yun who led four thousand men to attack Wuhuan. However, there should be a very powerful counselor beside Zhao Yun who can make suggestions for Zhao Yun so that he can constantly plot against Wu Huan.
While Tadun felt angry, he also felt a deep sense of frustration.
He wanted to kill Zhao Yun.
However, he doesn't even know where Zhao Yun is now. To find it later, we need to keep sending people to find out the information.
Tadun was panicking, and there was endless anger hidden under his rough face. But in front of the Wuhuan people, he couldn't show it because he wanted to appease people. Tadun looked at the clan elder and ordered: "Go and gather everyone together, I have something to say."
The clan elder made arrangements.
Wuhuan people came in large numbers.
These Wuhuan people were disheveled, their hair was burnt, and they were in an extremely miserable state. There are also many people walking with a limp. In the eyes of all the Wuhuan people, there was fear, anger, and even confusion.
They have always massacred the Han people, but this time they were massacred.
Tadun glanced at the state of the Wuhuan people and said loudly: "This time our royal court was broken by the Han Zhao Zilong. The fire was burning, and the other party's cavalry was raging. Many of our people died, and many of them were buried in the sea of fire."
"Our sacred royal court has never been broken by anyone. Today it was broken by Zhao Zilong."
"What I want to tell you is that those who died will not die in vain. The blood they shed will not be in vain. This Chanyu will remember today's humiliation. All of you must also remember today's shame."
"Please remember, I will take you south to Youzhou, slaughter the Han people, and take revenge. If Zhao Zilong kills one of my tribesmen, I will kill ten, hundreds, thousands of Han people."
"We will never give up until we take revenge."
Tadun clenched his fist, waved it heavily in the air, and shouted loudly: "Revenge, revenge!"
"revenge!"
The Wuhuan people shouted loudly.
Screams came and went, echoing in the air. In the depressed atmosphere of the Wuhuan people, many Wuhuan people's eyes shone, wanting to massacre and rob the Han people, and there was excitement and longing in their eyes.
Tadun nodded slightly when he saw this scene.
Although Zhao Yunlai made a surprise attack, the Wuhuan people could not defeat them, and the Wuhuan people would definitely be able to fight again.
"Woo! Woo!!"
Suddenly, the sound of a horn came from far away.
Tadun's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately looked in the direction of the horn sound, which was coming from the northwest of the royal court. He stared into the distance and suddenly felt the rumble of horse hooves and the tremor of the ground.
In an instant, Tadun understood.
Zhao Yun is here again.
Damn it!
"Defense, immediately form a defensive formation."
Tadun gave the order loudly, and the large number of Wuhuan cavalry he brought back circled around Tadun, completely surrounding Tadun. As an old man on the battlefield, Tadun had fought countless battles with the Han Dynasty, and had constant battles with Gongsun Zan, so he had rich experience.
He knew one thing very well. His troops had just returned to the royal court and lacked combat effectiveness. If they went out now, they would be crushed, and they could only defend for time.
For a quarter of an hour, he would have more troops. In half an hour or so, he would have gathered enough troops to launch a counterattack.
Tadun is confident enough in defense.
His soldiers are not ordinary soldiers like Lou Ban, Nan Lou, and Su Buyan. The cavalry under his command are all fierce soldiers who are not afraid of death. Although they were physically exhausted and unable to launch a large-scale counterattack, they could still defend.
Tadun rolled his eyes. If he wanted to keep 'Zhao Yun', he had to attract the other party. He ordered again: "Bring out the handsome flag of my Lord Wuhuan and stand beside me to let Zhao Yun know that I am here."
The soldiers immediately set up a big flag.
The big flag was set up and buzzing in the air. It was very conspicuous. You could tell he was squatting here at a glance.
This was Tadun's intention.
As long as Zhao Yun's cavalry is held back, he can launch a counterattack when the army comes back, and then kill Zhao Yun to avenge him.
When Tadun finished making arrangements, Lu Xuan came back with Zhao Yun and Xu Chu.
The three of them formed a blade and attacked in the direction of Tadun. With the strength of Lu Xuan, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, it was easy to penetrate Wuhuan's cavalry defense line. In fact, it went very smoothly at the beginning, killing a group of Tadun's cavalry in succession.
However, Tadun had high prestige and was strict in running the army. Under Tadun's command, the Wuhuan cavalry surged up fearlessly, causing Lu Xuan to kill one group, and then another group came, dragging Lu Xuan back. Xuan's attack.
The key is that there are Wuhuan's cavalry coming back, gradually encircling them, intending to surround Lu Xuan's cavalry.
Lu Xuan continued to kill for a while, but was unable to kill Tadun. When he saw the Wuhuan cavalry gathered, he immediately shouted: "Zilong, let's change direction and go around the royal court where Wuhuan is raging, and kill the scattered Wuhuan cavalry." People, just kill them back and forth a few times and then leave."
"As you command!"
Zhao Yun answered loudly.
The two men immediately adjusted their direction, evacuated the area where Tadun was, and attacked the Wuhuan cavalry who had returned from the surrounding area. These Wuhuan cavalry who had just returned were too exhausted to fight and needed time to delay.
Lu Xuan and his men suddenly came to kill him. Many people could not resist and were killed directly. Lu Xuan led his men to charge and attack, and more and more Wuhuan people died under the command of Lu Xuan, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu.
Tadun saw this and became furious.
Damn it!
'Zhao Yun' didn't fall into the trap.
Tadun had no choice, he couldn't kill directly. Once he attacks now and his troops are dispersed, and his surroundings are exposed, he will be easily killed, so Tadun can only wait.
Time passed little by little, and a quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Tadun was extremely anxious because more and more Wuhuan soldiers were being slaughtered.
Tadun looked around. Although the current strength and combat effectiveness were not enough, they could still fight. Tadun didn't waste any more time and ordered: "Attack, attack with all your strength."
"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops at full speed."
Lu Xuan also gave the order decisively at the same time.
Lu Xuan's side was fast, and the royal court was in a mess, so Lu Xuan easily withdrew from Tadun's offensive range.
Tadun's soldiers were fighting in the royal court, but they could barely hold on. However, it was impossible for them to make a long-distance attack to catch up with Lu Xuan's cavalry because they were too exhausted and could only watch Lu Xuan and his cavalry quickly fly away.
When Tadun saw this scene, his heart was filled with panic.
So cunning.
Zhao Yun is too cunning.
Tadun turned around and looked around. He saw countless Wuhuan people being killed, saw the tents everywhere turned into ashes, and saw the fire burning everywhere. He could no longer control his heart, his throat felt sweet, and blood surged up. Come up.
puff!
Tadun spat out a mouthful of blood.
The whole person was depressed and extremely miserable.
Tadun looked at the direction in which Lu Xuan's cavalry was retreating, with anger and unwillingness in his eyes, which eventually turned into deep helplessness.
Lu Xuan ignored Tadun's thoughts. After killing him, he felt comfortable and quickly escaped with his men. He did not go to the southeast along the seaside road, but walked along the northwest of Liucheng. When he was far away from the royal court of Liucheng, he ordered his cavalry to stop and rest.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Zilong, we raided Tadun once and caught Tadun off guard. This time I feel comfortable."
Zhao Yun had a bright smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty is right, beating Tadun once, especially beating him violently in Tadun's royal court, is really comfortable. But now, Tadun's main force is back, and the general recommends taking the original path Go back and withdraw your troops.”
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Our four thousand cavalry have been fighting. Although it is mainly a surprise attack, there are only a few casualties. However, with all Tadun's troops back, it is no longer easy to attack and cannot be fought, so it is time to withdraw. . Fortunately, Tadun has a mess on his hands, and he will no longer be able to send troops at will in a short period of time."
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Report!"
Suddenly, a soldier ran over quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, someone arranged by Military Advisor Pang Tongpang is here."
"Please."
Lu Xuan was in high spirits.
Pang Tong actually sent someone to deliver the message, and when he raided Liucheng, he was able to send someone to follow his whereabouts, which means that Pang Tong paid attention to this place. Or the troops led by Pang Tong and Gan Ning had secretly arrived nearby, otherwise it would be impossible to find his whereabouts.
Lu Xuan didn't know what stage the situation in Liaodong had reached. However, if Pang Tong and Gan Ning came with their troops, the situation would be different.
