Chapter 401: Raid on King Aries! Huo Qubing Appears! (Two in One)

Luo Wuzhi rode his horse on a gentle slope and looked down at the tents below. At first glance, they seemed to be endless and extended very far at the foot of the mountain.

"It is such a beautiful place, with a clear blue sky, gurgling springs, and green grasslands. It's a pity that it will become the burial place of the Huns."

Luo Wuji made a simple assessment and felt that he might have caught a big fish. After all, this grassland was too good to be an ordinary Xiongnu noble. He slowly drew out his sword, swung it forward heavily, and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

Following Luo Wu Ji's loud shout, the brave warriors took the lead and immediately rushed out from Luo Wu Ji's side. The sound of galloping horses' hooves fell on the ground, making a rumbling sound, like thunder that suddenly resounded through the void, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

Luo Wuzhi pulled down his visor and charged forward with a lance in his hand. Now without the three treasures for horse riding, only the elite could use this kind of gravity weapon on horseback. Now most of the cavalry were archers on horseback and chopped with swords.

There was neither joy nor fear on the faces of the five spiritual soldiers, just pure indifference. They did not have any emotions and just obeyed the orders of the head of the family and Luo Wuzhi, guarding Luo Wuzhi at all times.

The five of them were also wearing thick armor. Although they were not made of flesh and blood and had no sense of pain and would not be afraid, they would still suffer the same injuries as humans. Immortality did not mean that they would not be injured or die, so their protection was even more strict. This kind of divine object that could be passed down in the family for eternity was really too precious. If it were not for the fact that the heavenly item could defy fate and change destiny, Ji Zhao would have wanted to directly fuse the heavenly item, the Heavenly Book, into a spiritual weapon.

Currently, the entire Luo family has only fifty spiritual soldiers. If the Luo family had three thousand spiritual soldiers, the world is so big that they could go anywhere. This is probably the only type of soldiers that can defeat the warriors. After all, warriors are still human, while spiritual soldiers are not human at all.

The deafening shouts naturally startled the Huns, but the cavalry was so fast that before the Huns could react, the brave warriors had already rushed into the camp, lit torches and set the tents on fire, forcing the Huns to rush out of the tents. The Han army rode on horseback and shot the chaotic Huns one by one or rushed up and hacked them to death.

The killing was so fast that the tents turned into a sea of ​​fire in just a moment. There were cow and sheep skins in the tents, which gave off an unpleasant smell after being burned by the flames. Thick smoke billowed out of the flames and was blown to the leeward side by the wind. Smoke was a deadly weapon.

Luo Wuji naturally thought of these things before charging. Not only did he charge from the upwind side, he also prepared wet cloth. Although he didn't know how effective it would be, it was at least better than the Huns who had no protection at all.

As the Han army charged forward, the corpses of the Huns lay in disarray between the tents. Whether they were already dead or trying to escape, everyone had a look of fear on their faces.

As the brave soldiers were charging, a sergeant commanded, "Raise your bows and shoot!"

If it were a normal battle, in order to increase the maximum range, it would certainly be projectiles. But now the distance is so close, and projectiles would be a waste of arrows. With the archery skills of the brave warriors, and the distance is so close, and the number of the Huns is so large and so dense, there is no possibility of missing the target.

The only problem is that the same person might be hit by several arrows, because no one knows whether he will be hit before the arrow is shot. The sound of arrows breaking through the air was audible as one arrow after another pierced through the void, and the Huns suddenly howled like ghosts.

The brave warriors shot their arrows almost without missing a single shot. Nearly a hundred steps away, people who were running for their lives fell down in large numbers. Some were shot in the front, some had arrows stuck in their backs, or even completely pierced through, leaving only the tail feathers of the arrows trembling slightly. Some were pierced but did not die immediately. They continued to bleed, wailing in pain, and then gradually died.

Because the distance was too close, there was no time to fire three arrows, but soon the Huns no longer had to feel the pain.

The brave warriors rushed past on horseback, and if they could pull out the arrow with ease, the Hun, who had just been in great pain, would die instantly with blood spurting out. Only the huge bloody holes on his body could prove what he had just experienced.

"Eternal Heaven!"

"This is the Han army!"

"Forgive us our sins."

The Huns spoke a language that most people could not understand, with the exception of Luo Wuzhi. He wore a title and was proficient in all languages, but he was no different. He would never show mercy. He looked far away at the long camp. It seemed that some people in the distance had organized themselves, and some seemed to want to escape.

The field was covered with blood, which was scattered on the ground. During the high-speed galloping, many people who stumbled to the ground were trampled to death by the horses. With the power of the war horses, one trample would basically kill them with just one kick, even if the person was still alive for the time being, their internal organs would have been bleeding profusely and they would be close to death.

"Everyone draw their swords! Everyone draw their swords!"

The brave warriors naturally did not bother to chop and hack. They just kept their heads steady on their horses as they had been trained in the past, and placed their long swords horizontally on the sides of their horses.

As the war horses galloped at high speed, the Huns had half of their heads cut off by the swords swung horizontally. The white brain matter burst out and mixed with the bright red blood, forming a rather strange picture.

There were screams and wails everywhere, people were running around in all directions, and once they fell to the ground, they could never stand up again. This scene was like hell on earth!

The creator of this scene, however, had no feeling at all. Luo Wuji looked at the scene in front of him. He seemed to see the scene of his ancestor King Su opening up living space for the Xia people more than a thousand years ago. He raised his head high and looked at the azure sky. "Grandfather, I guess this is what you did back then, right?"

Luo Wuji raised his sword high, his voice full of the clanging sound of swords and metal, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, clansmen, in the name of King Su, kill all these Hu people and prosper the Xia!"

"May the Su King live forever!"

The brave warriors raised their swords high, and the blood on the blades flowed down the swords, and then flowed onto their hands and armor. The blood of the enemy is the glory of the warriors.

Only blood and glory can reach the Su Wang!

It was the first time for the soldiers from the Han army to see such a religious army as the Warriors. These people were typical Han soldiers. The god they worshipped most was Xiang Yu, the Lord of Arms, which was a bit similar to the worship of Guan Yu in later generations. The one they believed in the most was the emperor. As a secular leader and the Son of Heaven with a divine aura, the emperor had a high prestige as long as the Luo family did not come out to make trouble.

But when King Su and the Xia people were mentioned, all the soldiers immediately felt the same way and joined the ranks.

Luo Wuzhi led a hundred brave warriors and went straight to the most luxurious tent. The top of that tent was even decorated with gold. It was obviously where the Xiongnu nobles lived. The spiritual soldier opened the tent and walked in. He saw the Xiongnu noble was busy putting on armor, and it was obvious that he wanted to escape.

Luo Wuji chopped off the door of the tent with two swords and rode into the tent. The Xiongnu nobles looked at the murderous and bloody Han army with horror. Luo Wuji asked directly, "Who are you? Whose camp is this?"

The Xiongnu nobleman did not expect that the Han nobleman in front of him was so proficient in the Xiongnu language, and immediately said: "I am the left commander of the Aries King of the Great Xia Empire. Who are you? Where is the Aries King?"

Luo Wuji automatically ignored the Daxia mentioned by the Xiongnu commander and grasped the key point. This was actually the royal tent camp of the Aries King?

One of the three major targets this time was King Aries. I didn't expect to encounter him directly, and he only had such a small number of troops. Isn't this a great achievement that was delivered directly to us?

If they could capture the King of Aries directly and then join forces to attack the Loufan King's tribe, they would be able to completely pacify the Xiongnu tribes in the highlands south of the desert.

Luo Wuzhi had never thought that the Xiongnu noble in front of him might be lying, because there were too many Xiongnu people in the camp, and he could just ask anyone and find out his identity, and it would be impossible to hide it.

But Luo Wuji had a big question, and asked: "This is the most luxurious tent in the entire camp, but you are not the Aries King, but just a captain?

Where is the Aries King? If you don’t tell me, I will kill you immediately! "

The Xiongnu captain immediately said, "The Aries King never lives in the most luxurious tent. It is said that a smart predator never appears in front of its prey. The same is true for its prey."

At this time, King Aries's arrangement was revealed. If he lived in this luxurious tent, it would be King Aries himself who was captured by Luo Wuzhi now.

Luo Wuji had no time to care about those things. He remembered that a group of Xiongnu nobles had escaped before. He was a little angry and immediately ordered his attendants: "Tie him up and take him away. Go after King Aries immediately. Don't let him escape."

“Yes!”

When King Aries fled, he took hundreds of people with him. After being killed by Luo Wuzhi and others, most of the remaining Huns fled on their still-living horses. In just a moment, the place was completely deserted, leaving only countless mutilated corpses and blood, countless arrows and burnt tents, and wisps of smoke and dust still rising, proving what had just happened here.

"Sir, we have captured five Xiongnu nobles. Judging from their clothing, they seem to have come from the Chanyu's court."

When Luo Wuji asked, he found out that it was Zuogu Duhou, Da Danghu, and Duwei of Shanyu Ting. He immediately understood that among the people who had just escaped was not only the King of Aries, but also a close relative of the Xiongnu Shanyu of Shanyu Ting.

"Walk!"

Luo Wu Ji left some people here to cut off the right ears of the Huns so that they could calculate their military merits later. These things were what the soldiers needed most. Every ear was a generous reward. Luo Wu Ji was not the kind of person who would rather eat meat than not.

He took the brave warriors and some soldiers, as well as some horses left by the Huns, and with five horses each, he chased in the direction in which he remembered the Aries King had fled.

King Aries cursed as he ran: "Where did this group of Han troops come from? Are the tribes stationed outside a bunch of idiots? They didn't even detect such a large army."

King Aries himself did not want to run away. After all, he had some elite troops under his command and was confident that he could fight. However, there were distinguished guests from the Xiongnu royal court in his tent, all of whom were close relatives and ministers of the Chanyu. This made him dare not take any risks and he could only flee in great frustration.

“King Baiyang, as long as we can reach the Chanyu Court safely, the Chanyu will never pursue your defeat. The great Chanyu is the wise and enlightened ruler bestowed upon Daxia by the heavens, so you don’t have to worry.

And the most crucial thing is that since a small group of elite Han troops appeared here, it means that the main force of the Han army has also entered the grassland and must be nearby!

We must inform the Chanyu in time that these Han people are trying to challenge the great and supreme Daxia again. I heard that the Han emperor appointed Wei Qing as the general. It is very likely that Wei Qing brought the army to the grassland this time. "

King Aries is brave, but the distinguished guests from the Chanyu Court who came here do not want to stay here for a moment. The fierce and swift killing of Luo Wuzhi and others really shocked their minds. Moreover, at a glance, they are all armored soldiers. The people in the Chanyu Court know too well how strong these armored soldiers are.

In all the wars to encircle and suppress the elite troops of the Han army, the elite troops of the Zuoyouxian King, the Zuoyouguli King, or the Shanyu Court had to lead the charge, and then cut off the Han army's food supply, and then fight a decisive battle after the Han army was hungry and tired. Only in this way could a casualty ratio of one to several be achieved.

If all the soldiers of King Aries were here, they could indeed try to keep all these Han soldiers here, but the problem was that there were only a few thousand soldiers in the headquarters, and one third of them were killed like cutting melons and vegetables. The camp was in chaos, and it was impossible to organize a counterattack. Staying there would only mean waiting for death.

King Aries had a relatively good understanding of Qilian Chanyu. As a Chanyu who was able to unify the Xiongnu, his methods were quite superb. He both admired and feared Qilian Chanyu.

The Han general Wei Qing was very famous among the Huns. After all, Wei Qing had never been defeated in any of the major battles over the past ten years.

Upon hearing that a large Han army was nearby, King Baiyang immediately said, "We should indeed notify the Chanyu immediately and let these Han people know the Chanyu's power."

"King, the Han army is catching up."

A Xiongnu soldier came up with an anxious look on his face and said that in fact, he didn't need to report at all. These people had lived on the grassland for so many years that they were too familiar with the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground. Just from the shaking of the earth and the faint sounds, they knew that the Han people must have caught up with them.

The speed of one man and five horses can keep the war horses at a very high speed all the time. King Aries became more and more angry as he ran, and vowed to come back to let these Han troops see the majesty of the master of tens of thousands of people.

Just as he was getting angry, the voice of his uncle Shanyu rang out again: "King Baiyang, hurry up, don't let the Han army catch up with you."

King Aries cut off his fantasy thoughts about the future and said, "I'll be right there."

When answering, King Aries felt something in his heart was broken. I am one of the tribal kings of Great Xia and the master of tens of thousands of people, but I have fallen to this point and am being chased by a Han army of only more than a thousand people. It is such a shame!

Just when Luo Wuji was leading his brave warriors to hunt down King Aries, Huo Qubing had already launched a surprise attack on a Huns camp hundreds of miles away, capturing Qilian Chanyu's uncle and prime minister, and more than 2,000 heads. In real history, Huo Qubing returned directly to the army after getting these military exploits to give gifts to Wei Qing.

But in this world, facing the request to return, Huo Qubing immediately said: "Captain Yingyang must have gained more military merits. Keep attacking. My uncle's second goal is to defeat the Baiyang King's army and the Loufan King's army. Let's go and find out the situation."

Although Wei Qing's goal is to launch a surprise attack on Longcheng, this goal may not be achieved. The main purpose is to completely wipe out the two Xiongnu tribes in the south of the desert. This is why Luo Wuji has to chase after the Aries King closely. If the Aries King can be captured directly, the Xiongnu tribe will be leaderless. Once the army arrives, it will be a glorious victory.

When the Aries King was running for his life, good news suddenly came. The soldiers said happily: "King, the whereabouts of the Han army have been exposed, and the tribal captains are leading the army to come."

King Aries never expected such good news, and immediately asked, "How many people?"

"About ten thousand!"

The sergeant gave King Aries an inspiring number. When all the people who were running for their lives heard this number, they slowly stopped, and even the nobles from the Chanyu court did not want to run anymore.

Ten thousand people!

The Han people were suppressed and beaten by the great Huns. Now they are ten times more powerful than the Han people. Is it possible for them to lose?

The cavalry was moving very fast, and soon King Aries saw the large group of people in front of him appear in his sight. This made him feel relieved, and he immediately rode forward and shouted loudly: "I am King Aries!"

The nobles such as Wan Chang and Du Wei hurriedly came forward and knelt on one knee and said, "King, we are late, please forgive us for our sins."

King Aries was in a very good mood and would not blame these nobles at all. Upon hearing this, he immediately laughed and said, "Nothing, you came just in time. Now let's teach those rampant Han troops a lesson."

Luo Wuji had been chasing Aries King all the way, but the spiritual soldier brought the news that a large group of Aries King's troops were on their way. This made Luo Wuji want to leave immediately. Although he was brave, he was not reckless. A thousand men could only charge against ten thousand Huns if all of them were brave warriors.

But one piece of information made Luo Wuji's eyes light up, that is, the ten thousand people were estimated, because these people came at different speeds and were sparse. Now the number of soldiers around King Aries was definitely no more than three thousand!

Luo Wuji's gaze passed over the spirit soldiers and turned to the brave warriors. The brave warriors looked at him, then raised their swords and said loudly: "Sir, the Su King is above, and the Xia people will live forever!"

The brave warriors all crossed their hands and bowed their heads, then raised their hands to their foreheads and said loudly: "The spirit of the Su King is in the sky, and the glory of the Xia will last for thousands of years!"

Luo Wuji understood what they meant, so he drew his sword, put on his strong bow, swung forward and shouted loudly: "Kill the Hu people!"

“Yes!”

The deafening sound echoed throughout the grassland. The brave warriors, fully armored, changed to their best horses, rushed out from Luo Wuji's side, and stabbed the Huns fiercely like an arrow from a bow.

Huo Qubing, who did not return to the army, also wandered around on the grassland and headed towards the camp of the Aries King tribe.

Of course Luo Wuji couldn't just watch the warriors charge. He also kicked his horse's belly and rushed forward. When the Luo royal family's children and the warriors charged together, the warriors' fighting power would increase again. The same was true for the current sons of the Luo family.

There were only a thousand people but it felt like ten thousand horses galloping. King Aries never expected that the Han army would dare to charge at this time. There were more than two hundred armored soldiers around him. Although their armor was not as good as that of the brave warriors, at least the damage from ordinary projectile arrows was not particularly great.

"These Han troops are so rampant. Don't they know that I have 10,000 troops nearby?"

If Luo Wuji knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh and say to him: "What's the big deal about 10,000 people? They are nothing but clay dogs and clay chickens."

Then King Aries soon understood why the Han army dared to charge, because the hundreds of soldiers in the front were too strong. Even their faces were covered with armor, and most of the Huns' arrows were blocked by the armor. In addition, the captain of the Han army and the five men around him were so strong that no one could withstand their attacks.

In the eyes of King Aries, these people are all capable of competing for the Hun warriors, but now they appear in a colonel's unit.

This group of people shot at him like sharp arrows. The nobles of Shanyu Court, who had been quite confident just now, now said in a panic: "King Baiyang, go and join the army quickly. These people can't seem to stop the Han army!"

King Aries naturally discovered it. Because they were too scattered, the speed at which this line of Han troops broke through was a little too fast. However, Luo Wuji felt that it was a little too slow, because they could not catch King Aries at all at this speed. When King Aries' army arrived completely, they had no choice but to withdraw.

But no one expected that Huo Qubing would come here. He chased a tribal army of King Aries to the battlefield. Standing on a high mountain, he saw at a glance a thousand soldiers of the Yingyang Cavalry Captain's Division chasing and killing King Aries' soldiers.

Huo Qubing was slightly shocked by the fighting power of those brave warriors, and could not help but exclaimed: "They are worthy of being brave warriors with a thousand-year heritage. They are indeed the strongest army in the Xia Dynasty."

A sergeant came over and asked, "Captain, are we going to join the battle right away?"

Huo Qubing brandished his sword and laughed loudly, "My men of the Han Dynasty are fighting bloody battles, can we just sit back and watch?

See those people wearing the costumes of Hun nobles?

There must be an Aries King in there!

Whoever can kill the Aries King with his own hands, His Majesty will definitely grant you at least the title of Guannei Hou, or even directly the title of Lie Hou!

Follow this captain and charge forward. Don’t let these Huns escape.”

Luo Wuji didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Captain Huo Qubing would appear. When he looked at the direction where Huo Qubing appeared, he was immediately overjoyed. King Aries couldn't escape!
