Chapter 472: Night Attack on the Huns
Just a few hundred steps away from the Hun camp, in the bushes, there were two figures hiding.

"Hey, Brother Zilong, you know what, these barbarians are really good at grilling meat. I'm getting hungry just watching them."

"Brother Ziyang, please don't act rashly. The lord asked you and me to find the exact location of the Xiongnu. We must not alert them."

"Oh, Zilong, don't worry. Although I, Deng Yuan, am a rough man, I know the importance of things. I didn't expect that the lord would take us with him right after we brothers came to him. Even the tents we sleep in were arranged next to the lord's tent. It shows that he values ​​us. How could I, Deng Yuan, ruin the lord's important plan?"

Deng Yuan parted the grass and looked at the camp ahead.

"I think there are tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers in this camp. They must be the main force of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "No doubt. Let's go back and tell our lord that we can kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor behind."

Just as he was about to stand up, Deng Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"Oh, no hurry. Since you and I are here, how can we return empty-handed? Have you forgotten? Before leaving, the lord specifically told us that we can do whatever we want without alerting the enemy. Since the lord has said so, it would be too disappointing for you and me to return like this. Although killing people is easy to alert the enemy, it is not that there is nothing to do..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun looked down at him, and the two men looked into each other's eyes. Then Deng Yuan grinned at him with an expression that said "you know what I mean". Seeing this, Zhao Yun also smiled knowingly.

Ten miles away from the Xiongnu camp, there is a poplar forest that stretches for several miles along a clear river with lush branches and leaves.

In this woods, one can vaguely see groups of people and horses moving around. This is where Liu He's army is stationed.

Liu He, who was sitting under a tree eating dry food, stood up immediately after listening to the report from Zhao Yun and Deng Yuan.

"Good! Zilong and Ziyang lived up to expectations and found out the location of Zuo Xianwang's camp so quickly. I'll record their achievement first. After the victory, they will be rewarded."

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Pass the order down. After eating and drinking, we will set out as soon as it gets dark. Third brother and Da Meng, lead the Divine Tiger Cavalry to charge. Zilong, Ziyang and Chongling, each lead a thousand cavalry. This general will personally lead two thousand cavalry. We will attack the enemy camp from five directions. The remaining 15,000 infantry will shout loudly outside to disrupt the enemy's morale. At the same time, we will take advantage of the situation to attack and surround the enemy. We must not let Zuo Xianwang escape!"

"Here!"

Chong Ling is Qu Hang's pen name. He was originally Ye Xiang's deputy general in the Shenji Camp. However, this time Ye Xiang was arranged by Liu He to stay in Luoyang, so he specially borrowed Qu Hang.

The Hun soldiers had just eaten and drunk their fill when night fell.

Inside the royal tent, Zuo Xian Wang patted his belly and wiped his mouth in satisfaction.

"Although this mutton is delicious, it is not as tender as the Han children. It's a pity that since Liu He appeared, we have been able to capture fewer and fewer Han people. The Han slaves under our command either escaped or resisted and were killed. The remaining ones are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't even walk. It's hard to eat a delicious two-legged lamb now."

As he spoke, a look of longing and reminiscence appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, my king. When we go back and continue to recruit soldiers and horses and strengthen our strength, we will come back to plunder. When the time comes, we can take back more and let you enjoy them for a while."

"Well, that would be best."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. When Liu He was in Bingzhou, he was only focused on dealing with us Xiongnu and Xianbei people. Now, he is in Luoyang, controlling the Han people's royal court. Many princes like Yuan Shao are watching him. It's enough for him. He won't be a problem for a while. After the Han people have finished killing each other, we will gather our strength and march south with our army. We can take Luoyang as well. That will be enough!"

"That's right. Those Han people are as weak as sheep on the grassland. Liu He is powerful, but there is only one Liu He among the Han people, and all of us Xiongnu are heroes. Don't mention that Liu He didn't come today. Even if he really came, with so many warriors like us, we can definitely capture him alive, skin him, and stew him for soup!"

The generals spoke with great enthusiasm, and Zuo Xian Wang was so happy that his beard seemed to be flying up.

"Okay, well said, well said! Hahaha!"

However, just as they were chatting excitedly, bursts of noisy noises suddenly came into the king's tent.

"What's going on? Why is there so much noise?"

A general was about to go out to see what was going on. As soon as he lifted the curtain of the king's tent, he was met by a panicked soldier.

"Don't you have eyes? You are like a dog, you are looking for death!"

The general was about to get angry, but the soldier knelt down and said in a panic, "My Lord, something bad has happened. The Han people... the Han people are attacking us!"

"What? What's going on?!"

King Zuo Xian was terrified, and the general who bumped into him at the door grabbed the soldier.

"How could there be a Han army?" "I don't know... I don't know..."

Zuo Xian Wang stood up and strode to the soldier, shouting, "How many Han soldiers are there? Who is the general?"

"I don't know how many people there are. Anyway, there are Han troops everywhere. In addition to the five cavalrymen who attacked the camp, there are also shouts and cries outside the camp. It feels like there are at least 50,000 or 60,000 Han troops. As for the commander-in-chief, it seems... it seems... it seems to be the commander-in-chief with the character Liu..."

"Liu? Could it be that Liu He came in person? That's impossible. How could it be so fast?"

"Li Gun, it's all your fault, you jinx! This time you've really attracted Liu He!"

"How can you blame me for this?"

The Hun generals immediately started quarreling.

"It's already this late, why are you still caring about these things and not preparing for battle!"

King Zuo Xian grabbed his weapon and rushed out of the royal tent.

The group of people rushed out of the king's tent in a hurry, only to see chaos all around them, flames shooting into the sky, and the sounds of fighting clearly getting closer.

"It's bad, my king. Look, there are Han troops rushing in from different directions. This time Liu He must be leading a large army to encircle and suppress us."

"Why are you panicking? Didn't you just swear that you were such a brave warrior? Kill them all. Even if we can't win, we must fight our way out! Oh, and bring out the Han couple we robbed during the evacuation from Beidi County. Kill the man and take the woman away!"

"No, my king. That couple is from a big Han family, the Wei family of Hedong County. We are counting on them to collect money and food from the Han people!"

"Bah, what time is it? Which is more important, money or life? We are trying to break out this time, what's the point of keeping a man? It's just a waste of horses and food!"

Zuo Xian Wang picked up his weapon, mounted his warhorse, and was the first to charge forward. Seeing this, the other generals did not dare to slow down and quickly followed.

Among the five Han armies, Cheng Liang and Da Meng were the most enthusiastic in killing. Although they only had a hundred Divine Tiger Riders, their combat effectiveness was the strongest, especially in this surprise attack, which had a very strong deterrent effect on the Xiongnu cavalry. Under the roar of the beasts, the already frightened horses and Xiongnu soldiers were even more frightened, and the soldiers could not muster any morale, and the horses were running wildly everywhere.

"Haha, kill, kill, kill!"

Da Meng's machete was really scary. With one swipe, he could often chop the Hun soldiers in half. Anyone who saw it would be scared to death. How could they dare to go forward to fight him?

"Da Meng, you did a great job. I'll give you a leg of lamb later!"

Cheng Liang shouted not far away. When Da Meng heard about lamb legs, he became more excited.

"Da Meng wants two, no, three!"

While he was shouting, his hands did not stop at all. In just the time it took him to say this, he had already killed two more people.

"Haha, okay, I'll give you four lamb legs!"

Cheng Liang was also very happy. In the Divine Tiger Cavalry, he was a little stronger than Dameng in terms of martial arts, but in terms of lethality and deterrence against enemy soldiers on the battlefield, Dameng was the best in the entire army. Even in the entire Anmin Army, no one could compare to him.

These two guys were in high spirits of killing, and in comparison, the two teams of Qu Hang and Liu He seemed more ordinary.

Qu Hang's martial arts skills were only 81 points, but his archery skills reached 90 points. The cavalrymen Liu He brought this time were all soldiers who were specially selected in the past two years and were good at riding and shooting.

Therefore, Qu Hang played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses. He led a thousand cavalrymen and transformed themselves into archers, patrolling and shooting arrows everywhere. Although their lethality and deterrent power were not as good as those of the Divine Tiger Cavalry, the trouble they caused to the Xiongnu camp was much greater.

As for Liu He, although he fought bravely, while killing the enemies, he kept paying attention to the battle situation of other teams in the distance.

"Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, I am taking this opportunity to give you, a newcomer, the chance to lead troops in battle alone. You have to show some respect to me, otherwise how can I give you a promotion? I have an important mission waiting to be entrusted to you..."

And at one of the locations of the camp, a white figure, with a thousand cavalrymen, was coordinating very well with long-range and close-range attacks. It was the team led by Zhao Yun.

Not long after, Deng Yuan, who was in charge of the surprise attack in another direction a hundred steps away, slowly approached and kept making threats towards Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun nodded to him, and the two men seemed to have a tacit understanding. They led their troops at the same time and attacked towards a direction in the camp.
