In the camp, nearly 5,000 Han troops were resting and recuperating while guarding some Huns prisoners.
In the previous battle, Roshna and others had been watching from a distance from the back of the queue. At this time, the fighting stopped and they approached Huo Qubing.
A group of people looked at the entire camp.
There were Han troops around to guard, set up defenses and carefully search all parts of the camp.
Roshna followed Huo Qubing step by step.
The two envoys from Qiuci and Gumo were suffering from horse-sickness, vomiting for days, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
But after marching with the team for many days, they got used to it. At this time, the two of them were in great spirits, and they felt incredible about Huo Qubing's method of defeating the powerful Xiongnu armies in just a few days.
"What are Huo Hou's plans next?" Zhang Qian on the other side asked.
"Now that three Han armies have gathered, I have 25,000 troops. There is no need to use tactics in the next attack. Just kill the Xiongnu tribe directly."
In Huo Qubing's perception, King Xiutu and King Zhenghe Hunxie, who were controlled through the method of resurrecting corpses, were registered in Na.
The two are close to Luotianjian and King Zhelan.
At the moment when he was approaching, King Hunxie took the lead and struck Luo Tijian directly from the flank.
King Xiutu also drew his sword and struck King Zhelan under the influence of Huo Qubing's strategy.
The two struck very suddenly, leaving King Zhelan and Luotanjian completely defenseless.
King Hunxie is also a strong man who is more brave than the Xiongnu. His strength is like a long river flowing to the earth.
Luotianjian responded hastily, but his defense was broken by King Hunxie, and he hit his waist and ribs with a punch, almost breaking his ribs.
King Hunxie launches his offensive and presses forward with every move!
"You actually surrendered to the enemy?" King Zhelan shouted angrily!
"Do it!"
The Xiongnu tribesmen who followed King Hunxie were all his die-hard loyalists, and there were also some elite Han soldiers hiding among them.
These people launched an offensive at the same time and attacked the Xiongnu tribe.
The situation is in chaos.
General Na Boqing, who previously led the two coalition forces of Hunxie and Xiutu, and was with King Zhelan and others, was also under King Hunxie.
He looked confused at this time, not knowing what was going on.
King Hunxie rushed to attack the severely wounded Luotianjian, and yelled at Naboqing: "Don't do it yet!"
Naboqing realized this and immediately dispatched his troops to join the battle.
More Han troops came from the rear.
Zhao Ponu, Yao Zhao and others each led their troops and joined the battle.
Arrows flew across the sky and penetrated the armor, and screams filled the battlefield in an instant!
Swords clashed, pairs of scarlet eyes boiling with murderous intent, staring at the opponent.
The century-old hatred between the Han and the Xiongnu has reached its best outlet at this moment.
The smell of blood in the air quickly became stronger, and the number of corpses gradually increased.
This is the petition that Huo Qubing asked King Hunxie to hand over.
If you want to rebel, you have to jump to the bottom and let King Hunxie lead his troops to attack and kill King Zhelan and Luotianjian. Then there will be no possibility of them returning to the Huns.
The fight between the two sides lasted until the zenith of the moon.
Both sides suffered heavy losses, but the Han army mainly consumed the troops of the Hunxie tribe.
Some of these Huns soldiers must be consumed.
————
In the camp where Huo Qubing was, he was taking out the array diagrams.
These formation diagrams were not only the military formation diagrams he had carved in advance, but also two were the Mohist formation diagrams, taken from Ji Qiu.
Can assist in repairing fortifications.
When it comes to heritage and treasures, the Xiongnu, whose rise has only lasted a century, is much worse than the Han, who has been in charge of the land of China and whose civilization has lasted for thousands of years.
Therefore, the Xiongnu had many arrangements in this camp, but they were not as powerful as the imperial ax in Huo Qubing's hands.
When he sent the Mohist formation diagram underground.
As it spreads, the soil on the ground is pushed by the construction power of the array, and the earth and rocks rise, as if they will grow, forming low earth and stone walls. The Mohist array patterns overlap and build simple fortifications.
The damage caused by the fighting in the camp was slowly being filled up.
Huo Qubing released the two military formation diagrams he had prepared in advance to coordinate with the Mohist formation diagrams.
The atmosphere of the entire camp changed immediately, and the weapons were fierce. Under the influence of the suspicious tactics, the situation in the camp was unpredictable, and there seemed to be tens of thousands of troops.
This is also the reason why Feng Ti rushed over and saw the military strength in the camp.
At this time, Huo Qubing strengthened this arrangement again.
In fact, after dark, the three Han armies converged, and he sent most of the more than 20,000 troops out to attack Luotuanjian and Zhelan tribe.
There are less than five thousand Han troops in the camp.
"What if the Huns outside attack us?"
The speaker was the envoy Gumo, and he was asking Zhang Qian beside him.
Zhang Qian looked outside the camp and could see a group of Huns soldiers and horses in the distance, stopping to watch.
"The other party came over and saw that we had occupied the camp. Hunxie and Xiutu were defeated without a trace. The depth is unpredictable. They will not rush into the camp easily and lose their troops."
Zhang Qian responded: "Besides, we still have five thousand troops here. Although our troops are tired, if there is a fight, with Huo Hou sitting in command, they may not have a chance of winning. After two hours, our troops will have rested. If they do not retreat, they will
Maybe Huo Hou will take the initiative."
While Zhang Qian was talking, he glanced at Champion Hou not far away.
Huo Qubing is looking at the sea inside.
In his book on sea warfare, there is a new strategy unfolding - attacking in the east and attacking in the west.
Another reason why he continues to use tricks is to accumulate the luck of military power in the four realms.
This time, the Xiongnu tribes were lured to pursue them, and then they raided the camps of Xiutu and Hunxie kings, which was in line with the strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west.
As soon as this military strategy came out, Huo Qubing mastered twelve strategic magical powers.
In the military book, luck is abundant and light is dazzling.
In addition to the continuous victory in this battle, the Lingli Soldier Talisman successively compiled several symbols from the ancient well, hanging like stars in the sea of consciousness.
When this battle is over, Huo Qubing will usher in a new period of strength growth.
But even though he won consecutively, he still felt a little uneasy.
There has been no movement from Yudu, which means that he is not here and has not come to the Western Huns. He most likely went to Hanbei Pass in person and has other plans.
Huo Qubing glanced in the direction of Dahan Beiguan.
On the Western Huns side, there may still be several tough battles to be fought.
However, Huo Qubing has locked in a decisive advantage, and the first round of confrontation has basically stabilized.
As for the Xiongnu, it will be difficult to gather strength in the short term and have an impact on the current situation.
The war between the Western Huns is initially decided.
"Will Marquis Huo personally lead troops into our Western Regions, Poloulan, Pulei and other countries?" Roshna asked softly.
Huo Qubing said: "In the confrontation with the Xiongnu, although we currently have the upper hand, we need to continue to expand our advantage and strive for victory with all our strength.
Loulan and Pulei are both small countries with less than ten thousand soldiers and horses. I will send Zhao Ponu to lead the army and follow you to the Western Regions."
The implication is that he has no interest in playing Loulan or Pulei.
Roshna suddenly looked disappointed.
If Huo Qubing is willing to go to the Western Regions in person, then Loulan and Pu Lei will be hard-pressed to counterattack, and the danger in the Western Regions can be easily relieved.
Huo Qubing looked at Roshna: "The battle between the Han and the Xiongnu is centered on the Western Region.
But Judu saw it very accurately and occupied the camp at our feet first. To the west and southwest from here, we can contain Pu Lei and Loulan. To the east, we can guard the road from Han Dynasty to the Western Regions.
I will leave a garrison here, build a pass, and form an angle with Yumen to support each other.
Occupying this place is equivalent to cutting off the Western Xiongnu's support for the Western Regions such as Pulei and Loulan.
If they want to support the Western Regions again, they have to take a detour through Cheshihouguo and the Yanqi area. They can no longer control the Western Regions as closely as before.
The good days of Loulan and Pu Lei are over."
……
On the battlefield, the yellow sand reflects the moonlight, and the enemy and ourselves are vaguely visible.
Li Qing, the Forbidden Army general, pulled out the horse war spear in his hand from the chest of a Hun soldier, turned his head and looked into the distance. The battlefield between the two sides stretched for several miles, and there were shouts of killing, blood, and broken limbs everywhere.
A Han soldier next to Li Qing had half a broken arrow stuck in his arm armor, and his arm was red with blood.
But compared to the Han army, the Huns were much worse off.
The military strength of both sides is actually about the same.
However, one side mainly attacks and is fully prepared, while the other side is completely passive, and the outcome is decided as early as the moment of action.
At the beginning of the war, Luotianjian was severely wounded by King Hunxie and was later captured alive.
The price was that when King Xiutu rushed to assist Luo Tijian and created an opportunity for King Hunxie, he was hit by King Zhelan and King Xiutu was completely killed.
At present, King Zhelan is also showing a tendency to retreat, and is retreating, trying to escape from the battlefield.
The Han army came from all directions and fought with the soldiers and horses of Zhelan tribe and the tribesmen under Luo Dijian.
There were wolf howls in the night. It was a pack of wolves in the direction where the desert and grassland meet. They were attracted by the smell of blood, but they did not dare to get close and wandered outside the battlefield.
The Xiongnu troops were in obvious decline and no longer wanted to fight.
All that's left is to pursue and see how big the results can be.
The fight between the two parties continued until dawn.
On the other side, Feng Ti tried to rush into camp in the middle of the night.
He was very cautious. Seeing a steady stream of Han troops rushing out of the camp, at least thousands of them, Feng Ti chose to withdraw.
He will join up with the remnants of the Zhelan Tribe and Luotingjian, and contact the various troops of the Western Huns in the hope of stabilizing the position and regaining the disadvantage.
However, Huo Qubing laid the victory for the Han army, and the main force of the Han army will push forward later, and the situation will only become more stable!
News of the battle situation on the northwest front was sent back to Chang'an the next morning.
Huo Qubing's speed in using his troops, his decisiveness in taking action, and his methods of maneuvering across the battlefield are all jaw-dropping.
You must know that from the time he led his troops into the area connecting the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, it took a total of three days and one night, which had laid a sufficient advantage for a large-scale battle.
So far, Huo Qubing has led the Han army to behead more than 14,000 enemies, captured King Hunxie, beheaded King Xiutu, and sacrificed the Tianjin people. In two days, he defeated the five kingdoms, cut off the Xiongnu's food supplies, and captured Luo Tanjian alive.
Defeat King Zhelan’s tribe.
In the remaining small kingdoms, countless Xiongnu tribesmen were killed.
In Chang'an, the emperor and his ministers received the news of frequent victories in the northwest and counted Huo Qubing's achievements. It is understandable that they were in high spirits.
April 1, noon.
Bohai County on the east side of Han Dynasty ushered in a combination of rain and snow.
Light rain accompanied by snowflakes fell.
Wei Qing stood on a lookout near the sea in Bohai County, looking at the turbulent sea in the distance, his robes fluttering in the wind.
Behind him was a group of pro-troops, with the deputy general standing beside and behind him holding an umbrella.
Huo Qubing warned that there might be a group of Xiongnu soldiers from the coastal area, invading the Han Dynasty for a sneak attack.
After Wei Qing left Chang'an, he came in person to check the defenses along the line.
At dawn today, it was indeed discovered that the Xiongnu tribe secretly united with some gangs along the coast to try to land and attack the Han territory.
Because they had been prepared in advance, several gangs that controlled sea vessels were secretly sorted out by the Han army.
It is expected that the ship carrying Xiongnu soldiers and horses will penetrate the hull after entering the sea, pull out the piston, divert water into the ship, and sink the Xiongnu soldiers who cannot swim into the sea and drown them.
Very simple but effective steps.
However, after discovering signs of Xiongnu military activity in the Han territory in the northeast corner, they have yet to board the ship.
At this time, Wei Qing was standing on the coastline, frowning slightly.
His deputy general was in a high mood and said:
"I received news from Xiu Yi earlier that Huo Hou was victorious in several battles in the northwest, and Shan Yu's son Luo Tijian was captured alive, and all the Xiongnu tribes were defeated. Your Majesty has sent fast horses to all counties in the world.
Spread the good news.
The general and the Marquis of Huo are the pillars of our Han army."
After he finished speaking, he saw a thoughtful look on Wei Qing's face and asked, "What is the general thinking?"
Wei Qing muttered: "The movement of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses is wrong. They seem to be deliberately revealing their whereabouts."
The lieutenant general said: "General, what you mean is that the Huns are deliberately attracting our attention?"
"They may have known that Qubing had seen through their plan, but they still sent troops here... because they wanted to take advantage of it."
Wei Qing turned and looked to the north: "I came to Bohai County, and Qubing is in the northwest. Is Li Guang guarding the border at Beiguan?"
