I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

fire.

Billowing thick smoke, full of fire.

The entire camp, which was three miles long from north to south and two miles wide from east to west, followed Zhang Xu's unhesitating command and turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Zhelan people are struggling;

Zhelan people are resisting;

Zhelan people are unwilling;

Zhelan people are dying.

As the three tribes with the most fighting power and fighting characteristics among the prairie barbarians, the Zhelan, Baiyang, and Loufan tribes all have their own famous skills.

For example, the Baiyang tribe, which believes in the antelope and uses the head of the sheep as the tribal totem, is famous for the disgusting "Hui Ma She" of the grassland tribes.

——The so-called horseback shooting means pretending not to be too low, riding the horse and fleeing, turning around and shooting arrows behind without warning.

In this way, the enemy who is busy chasing and killing the Aries man will bump his body into the arrow shot by the Aries man due to the huge kinetic energy of his forward charge.

Another example is Lou Anren, who is famous among the grassland tribes for his riding and shooting skills that make the entire known world dumbfounded.

Riding and archery may not sound like a big deal.

But don’t forget: In this era, there are no stirrups or saddles!

Even the Huns—even the nomads who were born and raised on horseback, needed to exercise their riding skills all their lives in order to keep their balance on horseback, not to mention holding a bow and arrow on a smooth horseback.

In fact, Lou's annoying so-called riding and shooting is nothing more than slowing down the speed during galloping and drawing the bow while moving slowly.

But even so, it was enough for Lou Fanren to become famous in the grassland with his 'riding and shooting' skills.

——For other ordinary tribes, not to mention riding and shooting, even riding on horseback and aiming with a bow in a stationary state are quite remarkable skills.

As for the Zhelan people, as the most alien, toughest, and rarest flesh-clad warriors among the prairie barbarians, their combat methods, customs, culture, and even beliefs are all aliens among aliens.

Contrary to the grassland nomads' survival rule of "run away when you smell danger": Zhelan people's culture advocates a spiritual attribute similar to meeting a narrow road and the brave wins.

According to the cultural customs of the Zhelan people, under no circumstances should a warrior retreat, or even think about retreating.

A true warrior should bravely rush to the enemy's thousands of horses even if he is alone. Even if he dies in battle, he must die on the way to the charge.

Therefore, the stunt that the Zhelan people are famous for is also famous for it.

— Death Charge.

On this day, Captain Flying Fox led by Zhang Xu also saw this magnificent scene.

In the middle of the camp, Zhelan King Ha Kan lowered his head with a strange smile, and took off the horn hanging from his waist;

After affectionately kissing his partner who had been with him for many years, Ha Kan slowly raised his head.

woo~
woo~
woo~~
woo~~~~~~
Accompanied by a low, mournful, and inexplicably sad horn sound, the Zhelan people who were trapped in the camp, felt the temperature gradually rising, but had no choice but to raise their heads in order.

When they looked in the direction of the sound of the horn, they saw the king they admired sincerely, blowing the horn to charge.

Slowly, every Zhelan person began to move.

He lowered his head, prayed in a low voice, then raised his head and walked towards his war horse.

Get on the horse, hold the blunt weapon tightly, and take a deep breath...
"Zhelan..."

"The undefeated Zhelan..."

"Immortal Zhelan..."

Amidst these low whispers, Ha Kan also got on his horse.

The crown made of pure gold shines brightly in the sun;

At this moment, the scepter in his hand, like the blunt weapon in the hands of every Zhelan people, became Ha Kan's last weapon.

Da da;

Da da;

da da da da;

da da da da;

Da da da da da da da da...
Ha Kan rode out, and every time the horse under his crotch took a step, there were dozens of figures following behind Ha Kan.

Slowly, the originally only Ha Kan team gradually gathered into a conical cavalry formation of nearly a thousand people.

— Death Charge.

——With the will to die, follow your own king and launch a desperate charge towards your enemies.

Riding horses to bump and trample;

Wield a blunt weapon to swing, to smash;
Even after falling off the horse, punching, kicking, and even biting with teeth.

From the moment the death charge is launched, until the battle is completely subsided;
The Zhelan people will never surrender.

Even if they die, the brave and fearless Zhelan people will only die on the way to charge.

Thus, the Zhelan people led by Ha Kan, the last Zhelan people, bumped into the volley fired by the most elite and experienced crossbow phalanx of the Han family.

They got what they wanted.

They died on the way to charge.

It was not until the end of their lives that there were only a few Zhelan people who vaguely realized something.

——Brave doesn't seem to mean that you can't wear armor;

Refusing to wear armor will not bring much substantive help to the brave Zhelan people...

·
"How should this be?"

"This! What should I do?!"

Mayi, the north wall of the city.

Looking at the Flying Fox camp dozens of miles away, with black smoke rising into the sky at this moment, Zhidu felt an indescribable anxiety.

- It's over.

In Zhidu's view, the Flying Fox Army paid the price for their arrogance and their inaction over the past ten days.

Perhaps last night, the Huns launched a raid that turned the Flying Fox Camp upside down;

Perhaps at this moment, there are countless Yanzhao men who are tumbling and howling with fire all over their bodies, but still unable to change their destiny.

The most unacceptable thing is: if the facts are as they guessed, then the strategic goal of the Huns has been completed.

Why did the Huns fight this war?
——Because at the beginning of spring, the Huns first attacked the four counties on the Han side, and then used the results of the battle as a bargaining chip to send envoys to blackmail the Han Dynasty.

After being sternly rejected by the young emperor and stating that "what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get it on the negotiating table", the Huns urgently need to prove to the young emperor Sheng that we can't get what we want on the battlefield , It's just too much trouble.

In this way, the strategic goal of the Huns in this war is clear at a glance.

Carried out a certain degree of destruction and looting in the Daibei area, and caused a certain degree of damage to the Han army, in order to warn the young Han Emperor Liu Sheng: Huns, you are not easy to mess with!

If you don't want similar things to happen again, just obediently send the charming princess, and by the way, all the dowry that my great Hun wants!
Obviously, whether it is to severely damage the troops of the Chariot General Zhidu stationed in Mayi, or attack the troops of the Flying Fox Captain Zhang Xu outside Mayi, the Huns' strategic goal of "warning the Han family" can be achieved.

And when the strategic goal is achieved, and there is really no chance to cross Mayi and continue to expand the fruits of victory, the wisest choice for the Huns...
"Walk."

"Huns, will go."

"—Having achieved the desired result, and having no confidence in breaking Mayi, the Huns will definitely leave."

"Shortly afterward, I am afraid that the Huns sent another envoy to show off in Chang'an, saying that there is no one in my Han family, so that Captain Feihu is nothing more than thousands of wine bags and rice bags..."

As he said so, Zhi Du's face became more anxious, and his eyes flashed a sinister light from time to time.

Having been classmates for many years, Cheng Bushi saw Zhidu's plan at a glance, so he hurried forward and lowered his volume.

"Absolutely not!"

"The barbarians are all excellent cavalry. Although our army is famous for chariots and cavalry, there are few cavalry!"

"If you rush out of the city rashly, it's a small thing to get nothing, but a big thing to be defeated by an ambush!"

"—Brother!"

"Lord, don't start a division out of anger, general, don't start a war out of anger?!"

"Have you forgotten the teacher's teachings???"

Some earnest words of dissuasion caused Zhidu to frown, and the depression in his chest turned into a low growl.

"How about that?"

"——That Zhang Xu is arrogant, let alone delaying the fighter, and now his life and death are unknown!!!"

"If Captain Flying Fox makes a mistake, we don't care what will happen to the North Wall in the future;"

"It's just that the defeat of this battle is not only related to how our Han family will deal with the Northern Huns in the future, it is even more related!"

···
"It's more about His Majesty!!!"

Halfway through the speech, Zhi Du instinctively stopped talking when he realized what he was about to say;
It's just that the messy thoughts finally made Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, he left the sentence "more about His Majesty" in extreme distress, and gritted his teeth.

Seeing that Cheng didn't know what to say, he immediately showed a thoughtful expression, and Zhi Du finally had to worry, "Oh! With a sound, his fist hit the wall.

Cheng Bushi couldn't help but understand the importance of this battle.

Especially the 'relevant to His Majesty' that Zhidu mentioned implicitly, Cheng Bushi knew it all the more.

——Liu Sheng, already turned 20 years old.

If such a change does not happen, then in the spring of next year, Liu Sheng, who is now [-] years old, will have a crown ceremony, a big wedding, and then he will be in charge of the court.

This war started when Liu Sheng had not yet been crowned or in charge, and the Empress Dowager Dou made an exception to allow Liu Sheng to be the master.

In case the final result is not as expected...

"Qin Wangzheng also came to the throne without being crowned. He obviously didn't make any mistakes, but under the coercion of his mother, Queen Zhao, and Prime Minister Lu Buwei, he had no choice but to postpone the crown for two years."

"In order to be pro-government, he first quelled Lao Ai's rebellion, and then deposed the prime minister, Lu Buwei, so that he could monopolize the power of Qin."

"Qin is just one of the heroes. Wang Zheng wants to be in charge, but he has such setbacks."

"Now, my Han family is rich and powerful, and His Majesty wants to be in charge..."

The words full of sorrow only caused Zhidu to turn around in a little surprise.

"in this case·······?"

But seeing Cheng Bushi hastily shook his head, before Zhidu could say anything, he denied Zhidu's conjecture.

"Brother."

"Everything has priorities."

"——What the senior brother is worried about is just a matter of priority. It will be a matter of time before His Majesty takes the crown and governs himself."

"But if the army is buried in Mayi because of the stupidity of the two of us, and the soldiers are buried beside the wall meaninglessly, let alone the two of us can't bear the blame of everyone in the world, it is the court, It is also difficult to meet the people in Guanzhong who are eagerly looking forward to it..."

···
"In this battle, His Majesty only asked us to ensure that Mayi will not be destroyed, and Hulu will not appear south of Loufan;"

"If the Hulu have retreated, the task His Majesty entrusted to us can be counted as completed."

"—The teacher once said: Tolerance is the country."

"For the sake of my Han family, brother, let's just let it go..."

"For my Han family, keep some more power, so that in the future, I can avenge Captain Flying Fox..."

From Cheng Bushi's words, it's not hard to hear: Regarding the current situation of Captain Feihu, Cheng Bushi is no more optimistic than Zhidu.

——Yesterday, the Flying Fox camp was still smoking, but today, it has turned into billowing smoke;
Anyone who saw such a scene and such a change would only think that the Feihu camp was breached by the Huns last night, and Captain Feihu suffered heavy losses, and the entire army may not have been wiped out.

Under this premise, the main force in Guanzhong led by Zhidu and Cheng Bushi can only consider the next strategic layout based on the prerequisite that Captain Feihu has at least withdrawn from the battlefield.

Obviously: Cheng Bushi's proposal is the most sensible choice at the moment...
"Ugh·······"

"God-sent opportunity..."

"Unfortunately·······"

···
"Zhang Xu wronged the country..."

"Zhang Xu misunderstood me!!!"

Boom!
There was another muffled sound, and Zhi Du's right fist that repeatedly hit the wall finally dripped dark red.

But Zhidu seemed to have no feeling at all, and only looked at the direction of the Flying Fox Camp from a distance.

Full of regret, full of embarrassment, shaking his head with a long sigh;
Just as he was about to issue the military order to 'continue the martial law in Mayi, send scouts out of the city to investigate the whereabouts of the Huns', he saw five figures in the distance outside the city wall.

When the five figures got a little closer, before even seeing the clothes of the five people clearly, Zhi Du's eyes widened with excitement!

--Five people!
This number alone is enough to prove that these five knights are the 'one army' under the Han Dynasty army!
In particular, these five knights followed the cover formation of the very familiar scouts lurking forward, which made Zhidu even more certain: this is the first batch of messengers sent by Captain Flying Fox Zhang Xu to Mayi.

The facts turned out to be as expected.

It's just that apart from recognizing these five people as the messengers sent by Zhang Xu to Mayi, everything else was beyond Zhi's expectations.

For example, last night, the Flying Fox Army used their own camp as bait to ambush and wiped out the entire Zhelan tribe, one of the troika of the Huns!

Even Loufan and Aries, who fled after hearing the news, suffered severe injuries outside the Flying Fox camp, leaving thousands of corpses each before they were able to escape from the battlefield.

What really makes Zhi feel unimaginable, even unbelievable, is the whereabouts of Yi Zhixie, the right sage king of the Huns, and Zhang Xu's ambition...

"Zhang Duwei Tuomo will tell Zhi Cheqi: The Xiongnu Youxian King Yizhixie's troops are currently in the forest south of Feihu camp and north of Mayi, waiting for our Feihu army to break up and flee south, and attack with ambush. Of."

"Zhang Duwei wants to lead his army southward, between the hunting mountains and forests of the Right Wise King Yi Zhixie."

"If Zhi Cheqi is interested, Zhang Duwei is not a person who is greedy for merit."

"Just wait for Zhi Cheqi to lead the army out of the city, and Zhang Duwei will attack from the north and the south, and the Right Wise King Yi Zhixie will be unable to fly with his wings."

···
"——so that Zhi Cheqi can know: Youxian King Yizhixie is the royal family of the Suoda clan of the Huns."

"Capturing it and killing it is the fame of the world, so that future generations will worship it."

"Only Zhang Duwei has no desire to be humble, and Zhi Cheqi wants to take it, so he has to show his magic..."
