Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 481
Guniu is a mason, a native of Liaodong County, Yan State, who traveled widely with a dozen or so descendants of the same village, earning a living by building big tile houses for wealthy families. A dozen or so masons built the battlements in the southeast corner of Shanyu City, and a dozen or so Huns supervised the work.

The sudden appearance of a large group of people from the southeast caused the entire Shan Yuting court to quickly fall into turmoil.

The battlement in the southeast corner has almost been repaired. Guniu and a dozen young men from the same village stood on the three-foot-high battlement and looked down to the southeast. They could clearly see that a large group of cavalry was heading towards this place more than ten miles away. They swarmed from all sides, like a colony of ants looking for food, covering a large area of ​​darkness all over the mountains and plains.

"I'm stupid!" Guniu couldn't help but swear, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although there are still more than ten miles away, Guniu can still conclude that the cavalry that suddenly appeared in the southeast direction is definitely not the Huns. The leather armor of the Huns is all earthy brown, but the battle robes of this group of cavalry are bright yellow. Yes, the Central Plains cavalry, they must be cavalry from the Central Plains, the Central Plains cavalry came to rescue them!

Behind Guniu, more than a dozen young people from the same village also looked at each other, and they couldn't believe their eyes, but from the eyes of their companions, they clearly saw indescribable joy, and hope, yes, it was hope. The Huns came here as captives, and they have almost given up the idea of ​​returning to their hometown.

The plasterers who were working nearby also stopped their work.

A dozen Huns who were in charge of overseeing the work quickly realized the danger. If these Central Plains people were allowed to gather together again, a rebellion would probably break out, and the rebellion of these hundred or ten masons would most likely trigger riots among all the Central Plains slaves on the construction site. When the rebellion happened, more than a dozen Huns drew their swords and forced them over, ordering the bulls to disperse.

Guniu gave a wink behind him, and a dozen young men from the same village picked up the bricks, wood, and stones piled up on the top of the city, and threw them at the Huns. Seeing this scene , a hundred or so Central Plains craftsmen around shouted, and followed suit.

In an instant, the city bricks, stones, and wood fell on a dozen Huns like a torrential rain. The poor Huns had no time to react and were knocked to the ground. The craftsmen swarmed up, smashing bricks and stones with fists and kicks, and more than a dozen Huns were smashed into meat paste.

A low-pitched ox horn sounded in the Shanyu city, and a large group of Huns poured out from a large tent in the city. There were almost 500 people. The scene in front of him took him by surprise, all the slaves in the Central Plains rioted!
"Kill all the Huns!" Gun Bull shouted sharply, brandishing the bronze sword he had snatched from the Huns.

"Kill all the Huns, we want to go home!" A dozen young men from the same village accompanied them like a shadow and responded loudly.

"We want to go home, we want to go home!" More and more Central Plains slaves gathered behind the bull, and the originally chaotic roars gradually converged into a huge voice.

When Guniu and the others killed all the Huns and rushed out of Shanyu City, Shanyu Court, which was just across the river from Shanyu City, had already become a Shura bloody prison, and there were at least tens of thousands of Central Plains cavalry who swarmed in. They were divided into a dozen small groups, like a dozen sharp iron plows, plowing Shan Yuting over in the blink of an eye.

"Swipe!" A Central Plains cavalry raised a long knife and slashed lightly, and the head of a Hun cavalry was thrown into the air in an instant.

"Whoosh!" A Central Plains cavalryman drew a longbow and shot an arrow with his backhand, shooting through a Huns not far away.

"Wow..." Two Central Plains cavalry flew by, throwing their flying claws in their hands, and instantly overturned a Hun tent on the spot. A dozen Hun women and children ran out of the tent in a panic. , but was soon overwhelmed by the swarming cavalry Wang Yang. After the cavalry frenzy, there was only a piece of flesh and blood left on the grass.

"Tat-tat-tat..." Amidst the sound of iron hooves rushing like rain, a group of Central Plains cavalry suddenly rushed towards Gun Niu and the others. Seeing their ferocious appearance with their long knives raised high and their swords drawn, Gun Bull was startled and waved his hands and shouted, " We are from the Central Plains, we are from the Central Plains, don't kill us, don't kill us..."

"Huh?!" Hearing the familiar local accent in the desert thousands of miles away, the leading cavalry general of the Central Plains was a little bit taken aback, and then raised his right hand to make a gesture. Divided into left and right strands, they almost flew past in front of Gun Niu and other slaves.

At this time, Guniu also saw clearly the leading cavalry general of the Central Plains, and said in disbelief: "Prince, prince?!"

Zang Yanlema turned around, stared at Gun Niu for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why do you recognize this prince?"

Guniu hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, and said anxiously: "The villain is from Xiangping, Liaodong. In the early years, he went to Ji County to repair the royal city with the elders of the clan, and met the king and the prince several times in the royal city, so he knew him."

"Are you from Xiangping, Liaodong?" Zang Yan's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

Surrounded by Meng Ji and hundreds of soldiers, Bi Shu came down to the Yuwu River.

On the other side of the river is Shan Yuting of the Huns, and thousands of cavalry from the Central Plains are wading across the river.

The process of attacking Shan Yuting was extremely smooth. Although Maodun left nearly [-] cavalry to protect Shan Yuting, when the Chu-Yan allied forces launched a surprise attack, the [-] Hun cavalry were scattered and stationed in several nearby settlements. However, the real troops stationed in Shan Yuting were less than five thousand cavalry, and the strength of the troops varied greatly.

Under the overwhelming onslaught of the Chu-Yan coalition forces, the Xiongnu cavalry was quickly defeated.

Less than half an hour before and after, nearly [-] Xiongnu cavalry were smashed by the Chu-Yan coalition forces. The coalition forces that had won a complete victory immediately divided into more than a dozen groups, and rushed into Shan Yuting like a storm. At this place, tents were overturned, women and children were beheaded, cattle and sheep were taken captive, and even Maodun's tooth tent was overturned to the ground.

The Huns had established Shan Yuting at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain for nearly a hundred years, and this was the first time it was attacked.

Bi Shu bent down and threw a handful of Yuwu River water onto his face. It was so cold, he couldn't help sighing: "It's really good water. If we can use the river water here to make wine, the taste will definitely be extremely mellow and clear!"

"The general wants to drink the wine made from this river?" The battle went smoothly, Meng Ji was in a good mood, and he joked, "This is not easy. When the desert is pacified in the future, the general will ask the king to build a city here. , when the time comes, the general will build a wine shop here, and give the general a special tribute of one hundred altars of high-quality wine every year, how about it?"

"That's a good thing." Bi Shu smiled, "But when the desert is pacified, it won't be the year and month."

"It won't be too long." Meng Ji shook his head, and said thoughtfully, "My Great Chu has the power to conquer the world. In less than ten years, we will definitely be able to unify the world. At that time, we can send troops to attack the desert."

"Ten years, ten years?" Bi Shu whispered, but a look of loneliness flashed across his eyes.

A rush of horseshoes trampled through the green grass by the river, and then Crown Prince Yan's Zangyan Pegasus came to Bi Shu, turned over and fell off the horse and bowed to Bi Shu again, saying: "General, I found an unexpected situation."

Bi Shu got up to return the salute and asked, "What's going on?"

Zang Yan said: "I just met a group of craftsmen from the state of Yan who were taken captive by the Huns. I accidentally learned that besides Shan Yuting, the Huns also have another lair at the foot of Yanran Mountain, called Datiecheng, with about [-] people. Blacksmiths and [-] slaves from the Central Plains are mining and smelting iron in Iron City to make weapons for the Huns."

Meng Ji suddenly changed color: "Is there such a thing?"

Bi Shu said decisively: "Liting still has to sweep the holes, and this iron city must be destroyed!"

After finishing speaking, Bi Shu turned his head and told Meng Yu: "General Meng, you lead the left battalion and the right battalion to divide into two groups, and continue to sweep up the Hun women and children who escaped from Shanyuting along the Yuwu River and Gonglu River, and gather the Huns by the way. cattle, sheep and livestock."

"Here!" Meng Ju responded with a loud bang, and left with his younger brother Meng Keng, eldest son Meng Yuan, and second son Meng Liao.

Bi Shu then said to Prince Yan, Zang Yan: "Prince, you lead Yan Guo's elite cavalry to follow this general and set out immediately to take Yanran Mountain directly!"

"Here!" Zang Yan responded loudly, then turned on his horse and raised his head.

Bi Shu finally said to Huyan: "Huyan, you and your Huyan warriors are most familiar with the desert, so I have to trouble you to lead the five hundred wolf riders as the pioneer to go to Yanran Mountain."

"Here!" Hu Yan responded abruptly, and said calmly, "Don't worry, General, Yanran Mountain is just to the west of Langjuxu Mountain, the distance between the two places is about a thousand miles, and the general can take you there even with his eyes closed. "

Hexi, the camp of the Han army.

Zhou Guanfu strode into Baimo Xingyuan and said sharply, "Prime Minister, the scouts have found the Huns' wives and children!"

Bai Mo, who was looking at the map in the Xingyuan, suddenly turned around, Shu Sun Ying, Shu Sun Shang and other generals of the Han army also turned their heads. Someone asked Zhou Guanfu: "General Hussars, are you serious?"

"Really!" Zhou Guanfu strode to the map, slapped Juyanze heavily, and shouted, "The Huns' women, children, cattle and sheep are here, Juyanze!"

Bai Mo hit Jie fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "Here's an order to pull out the camp immediately and attack Juyanze!"

All the generals responded with a bang, and took their orders one after another. Bai Mo ordered his soldiers to put on armor for him, and Zhou Guanfu, who had already reached the gate of Xingyuan, turned back and persuaded: "Prime Minister, it is seven or eight hundred miles away to Juyanhai. It’s very hard to eat and sleep in the open, and you may encounter sandstorms, which is very dangerous, so you don’t have to go, right?”

"No." Bai Mo waved his hand and said decisively, "This battle has a lot to do with it, and the truth must go!"

Seeing that Bai Mo had made up his mind, Zhou Guanfu could only scratch his head, and immediately turned around and left.
