Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 604: Hun Strategy
"General!"

"That Sima Yi is so shameless!"

"They actually helped the Southern Xiongnu to fight against us Han people!"

At Yanmen Pass, Xing Daorong and Bao Long talked to each other about the joy of meeting each other after a long separation, and then talked about Sima Yi's situation.

But as he listened, even though Xing Daorong was a good-tempered person, he couldn't help but feel secretly resentful.

Looking at the rolling yellow sand outside the Great Wall, he seemed to see the looming wolf-head banner, and his knuckles turned white from pinching.

It was as if I saw the blue-robed students of the Imperial Academy back then, now wearing fox fur coats with left lapels, chatting and laughing in the tent of the Xiongnu king.

Traitors to the nation are the most unforgivable.

...

"What a thief Sima!"

Xing Daorong suddenly shouted, causing the snow on the battlements to fall. "In the past, I didn't care about any strategies in order to conquer the Central Plains. But now I'm teaching the Xiongnu kids to use The Art of War to slaughter my Han people!"

Bao Long echoed, "Last month, I saw the Huns causing chaos, and I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I intervened."

"I didn't expect that the Huns would use the Bagua map to change it, causing me to lose three hundred brothers."

Xing Daorong snorted coldly upon hearing this: "The Bagua formation was naturally taught by Sima Yi."

"This fellow is born with a rebellious nature and has a rebellious heart. If he had surrendered to Cao Wei, Your Majesty would have asked him to use him less."

"Now you are helping the Huns with their schemes. How hateful!"

As they were speaking, another scout came with a report.

But he shouted: "Report!"

"The Xiongnu drove 8,000 refugees to build a city in Yinshan, forcing the elders to carry stones and wood."

Good guy!
That is to prepare for long-term stability and to live permanently in the land outside the Great Wall!

Bao Long jumped up and said, "General, those Huns are going too far!"

"Let me be the vanguard today and take down that Shanyin City!"

Since Bao Long wanted to be the vanguard, there was no reason for Xing Daorong to refuse.

The reason why Xing Daorong kept letting Bao Long suffer was that he was indeed worried that Sima Yi's troops would launch a surprise attack on Chang'an, so he deliberately did not let Bao Long come back.

I think our General Bao has suffered a lot.

Now that he wanted to be the vanguard, Xing Daorong said, "I'll give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, go to Shanyin, and if you see the Huns, kill them!"

Bao Long nodded vigorously and was about to order his troops to leave.

Xing Daorong hurriedly grabbed him upon seeing this, but said, "Don't worry, we have raised a strong army in recent years, and it is just in use now, so I will bring them all with you."

Bao Long was stunned and thought to himself, what is a strong army...

But on second thought, the general couldn't let himself suffer any loss.

He didn't ask any more questions, just took the military token and went to lead the troops...

Logically speaking, Bao Long should lead the vanguard, and Xing Daorong should follow closely behind.

However, he was not in a hurry this time. He only asked Ma Chao to lead another 10,000 soldiers and horses to support, while he himself remained at Yanmen Pass to guard the situation.

...

Bao Long was really angry.

We hurried all the way and arrived at the mountain's shade area.

The north wind howled, blowing up the snow in the valley under the mountain.

Bao Long reined in his horse and stood in front of the army formation, looking at the densely packed Hun cavalry on the ridge ahead, the sword in his hand trembling slightly.

The Huns occupied the high ground, their wolf-head banners fluttered in the cold wind, and countless scimitars reflected the pale sunlight.

"Form a battle array!" Bao Long shouted, and the ten thousand soldiers behind him quickly formed a long snake formation.

The shieldmen are in the front, followed by the spearmen, and the archers are in the rear.

The snow was crushed by the iron boots, making a squeaking sound.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of 羯鼓 on the ridge.

The Xiongnu cavalry poured down like a tide, and the sound of their horses' hooves made the rocks fall down.

Bao Long narrowed his eyes, waited until the enemy cavalry rushed to within a hundred steps, and suddenly swung down his long spear: "Shoot!"

The rain of arrows flew into the sky, covering the sky and the sun. The Xiongnu cavalry at the forefront were thrown to the ground, but the following cavalry continued to charge, stepping on the corpses of their companions.

Bao Long shouted loudly and led 500 elite cavalrymen to fight. With a sweep of his long spear, he knocked a Xiongnu centurion off his horse.

The two armies met, and there was a clanging of metal.

The Xiongnu cavalry took advantage of the momentum of the dive and forced the front line of the Han army to retreat again and again.

Seeing this, Bao Long immediately changed his formation: "Turtle Shell Formation!"

The shield bearers quickly gathered their weapons and thrust their spears out from the gaps in their shields like iron hedgehogs.

The Hun's warhorses crashed into the iron wall and fell to the ground neighing.

If this continues, it seems that the Huns will not be able to even get past Bao Long's vanguard.

In fact, ever since Emperor Wu defeated the Huns hundreds of years ago, the Huns have been afraid of the Han people.

When the two sides fought, the Huns lost more than they won.

So it’s not surprising that Bao Long won.

The battle lasted until noon, and the valley was littered with corpses.

Bao Long's armor was stained with blood, and his sword was broken by killing. At this moment, he was fighting with the Hun general with his deputy general's machete.

The Xiongnu general wielded a mace with great force and power.

Bao Long dodged the attack by leaning sideways and slashed the opponent in the ribs with his backhand.

The Xiongnu general screamed and fell off his horse, and the Xiongnu army was in great chaos.

"All troops attack!" Bao Long jumped onto his warhorse, holding high the bloody machete, and was about to pursue the victory, but he heard scouts coming on horses.

"Report——!"

"We have spotted Hun cavalry on the left wing, about 5,000 of them!"

Bao Long was startled when he heard this and turned around to look. He saw dust flying in the valley on the left and the Hun cavalry was approaching like a dark cloud, and in a blink of an eye they were within three miles.

It seems that this is a backup plan left by the Huns!
Take advantage of the last moment of the entire army's chaos and launch a surprise attack to throw the army into chaos.

But the Huns had a backup plan, and so did Bao Long.

"Where are the Modao Army!" Bao Long shouted sternly.

Immediately, three thousand Modao warriors stepped out. These carefully selected warriors from Guanzhong were eight feet tall and held seven-foot Modao in their hands, with the blades shining coldly in the sun.

The Xiongnu cavalry had rushed to within a hundred steps, with their scimitars raised high and their shouts of killing shaking the sky.

Bao Long, however, remained motionless. When the enemy cavalry rushed to within fifty steps, he suddenly waved his flag and said, "Draw your swords!"

Three thousand Mo Dao were raised at the same time, and the sword lights were like a forest.

The Hun's war horses were frightened and their front hooves flew into the air.

The Modao warriors shouted in unison, swept their long swords across, and the horses' legs were broken.

The hundreds of Hun cavalrymen who were in the front were suddenly thrown to the ground, and the following cavalrymen were unable to stop in time and crashed into each other.

"Go!" Bao Long waved the flag again.

The Modao Army advanced forward in neat steps, wielding their long swords like the wind, chopping the fallen Xiongnu soldiers into pieces, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

Some Xiongnu cavalry tried to outflank them from the flank, but were cut in half by a counterattack from the Modao warriors.

The horn of retreat sounded in the Hun army, but it was too late.

The Modao Army had cut off their retreat route, and they were invincible wherever their long swords went.

Upon seeing this, Bao Long personally led the light cavalry to encircle the enemy from the right wing.

The Xiongnu cavalry were routed, and the wolf-head banner fell to the ground, trampled to pieces by horses' hooves.

Later, Ma Chao attacked from all sides, and the entire Hun army could no longer stop them.

Leaving behind a pile of corpses, he fled in panic.

If it weren't for the heavy snow outside the Great Wall, which made it difficult to pursue them further, Bao Long and Ma Chao would definitely have pursued them for thousands of miles and hit Huanglong directly.

Although I couldn't hunt him down completely, I still felt satisfied with the kill.

But the two of them didn't realize... Sima Yi and Yu Jin were not here...
