Add to that the densely packed and daunting fortresses at the foot of the Great Wall.

How easy is it to take over the Great Zhou?

The past ten years.

Da Zhou used blood to tell Maodun that it would not be easy to get in, and he would break a few of his teeth first.

If you want to get out, forget it. You'll leave behind a pile of corpses.

He led his men south several times and tried to cross the Great Wall defense line, but ultimately failed.

Now.

His teacher Jia Shixian, who was deeply grateful to him, came.

Master Jia not only gave him advice, but also brought a map that could bypass most of the strongholds and create a smooth road leading directly to Jingzhou.

Moreover, the Great Zhou had just experienced two civil wars, and its people and horses were exhausted.

As long as we capture Jingzhou and obtain supplies, we can join forces with the men on the grassland to conquer all the territories in the northern part of the Great Zhou in one fell swoop!

This is the perfect opportunity to capture the Great Zhou. If we miss this opportunity, I’m afraid we won’t know how much it will cost to capture the Great Zhou!

Yin Zhixie wanted to persuade him again, saying that after all, you have already unified the grassland and you are so young, why not take a steady approach? Why do you have to take such a risky move?

Maodun didn't give him this opportunity. His eyes flashed with brilliance and he said coldly, "Don't say anything more!"

"Let's follow Master Jia's plan and trap the Jingzhou garrison!"

"Yes." Yin Zhixie had no choice but to obey.

"Chanyu, Chanyu!"

Another rider galloped over from a distance, "Chanyu, we have discovered an army heading towards Jingzhou."

"What!" Maodun frowned, "How many people are there?"

The Rangers reported, "The large banner has the character 'Li' on it. It must be the Medicine Master Li the Chanyu mentioned. There are a total of 50,000 men."

Before Maodun could speak, Yin Zhixie seized the opportunity to persuade him, "Chanyu, Jingzhou must have been well prepared, so they sent reinforcements to guard against us. Otherwise, we should retreat first!"

Retreat???

He mobilized 300,000 young and strong men and led a long expedition, but gained nothing and just withdrew back to the grassland. How could he survive as the Chanyu?

Maodun muttered, "No, if we had been prepared earlier, the defense of Jingzhou would not have been so lax."

"Yin Zhixie, I give you 80,000 men. You must stop Li Yaoshi until I capture Jingzhou!"

Yin Zhixie continued, "Chanyu..."

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more!"

Maodun spurred his horse and galloped away with his army.

Yin Zhi glanced at Maodun's figure and sighed deeply.

Well, I can only help him defend the retreat route at the risk of my life.

This time, with the support of Jia Shixian's intelligence, the Xiongnu mobilized 300,000 elite cavalry, 100,000 of whom were led by Zuo Xian Wang to create a siege in many places in Bingzhou to attract Yan Batian's attention.

Maodun Chanyu personally led 200,000 people to launch a surprise attack on Jingzhou. If successful, the Huns would be able to obtain a large amount of supplies and baggage, and could easily engage in a fight with the Zhou army in the north.

Just wait for the coming of spring, and mobilize all the troops on the grassland to march south, and the northern land of the Great Zhou will be within our grasp!

Mobilizing so much manpower and material resources would be a fatal blow to Maodun's prestige if he failed to obtain sufficient benefits.

…

"General—"

"Hun cavalry spotted ahead!"

Pharmacist Li reined in his horse.

Huns?

I didn’t expect they would actually dare to come!

"Let Yinhuan lead the cavalry out to fight and make sure to find out the enemy's situation!"

If you want to fight the Huns in the field, you must gain the upper hand in scouting so that you can find out the enemy situation and avoid becoming deaf and blind.

To this end, Pharmacist Li carefully trained hundreds of scouts.

Now it's time to put your skills to the test.

…

Jingzhou.

"General, a large Xiongnu army has appeared twenty miles outside the city. General Li is currently engaging them in a field battle. General Li orders you to lead your troops out of the city immediately and attack them from both sides."

A messenger, covered in blood, knelt in front of Luo Yanchao.

Luo Yanchao stood up straight, clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"

"Please also tell General Li that I will lead the troops out of the city immediately!"

After the messenger left.

A lieutenant general came forward and asked, "General, are you really going to send troops?"

"It's dark out today, and we really don't know the enemy's situation. Don't fall into their trap of surrounding and attacking their reinforcements!"

"Once Jingzhou City is lost, General, you will no longer be able to face His Majesty and the people of the Great Zhou."

Luo Yanchao's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, organize the army and leave the city!"

The lieutenant general was a little surprised. He glanced at his boss and went to gather people with a confused look on his face.

Only Luo Yanchao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.

Pharmacist Li?

Let me see what you are capable of.

…

Binzhou.

Prince Ji was still asleep.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

"The Huns are coming!"

The housekeeper crawled to the door of the room and shouted.

Prince Ji was so frightened that he jumped out of his bed without even bothering to put on his clothes. He shouted, "How many people have come? Has the city gate been breached?"

The housekeeper shuddered and said, "No... I don't know how many there are. They just surrounded Binzhou City."

"Torches littered the mountains and plains, stretching endlessly, horses galloped, smoke and dust obscured the sky. There must be at least half a million horsemen!"

"Five...five hundred thousand?" Prince Ji collapsed to the ground.

It's all over.

He yelled hysterically, "What the hell is this guy doing?"

"How can you let 500,000 Huns come to attack you without even saying a word?"

"What about those people in front? Were they all killed by the Huns?"

"I slept for a few hours, and they came to kill me?"

"Zhang...Where is General Zhang?!"
