A cold wind howled across the grassland, and snow began to fall from the sky.
Xu Hui, his head covered in snow, stared silently at a grave in front of him, unwilling to look away for a long time.
It wasn't until a horn sounded in the distance that Xu Hui snapped out of his daze, picked up the iron helmet from the ground, and then said...
"If we are not destined to meet in this life, we will meet again in the next."
After saying that, Xu Hui mounted his horse and turned to leave.
Amidst the howling wind and snow, a wooden sign stood before a solitary grave.
The wooden plaque bears eight neatly written characters: "Tomb of Xu Hui's wife, A Duo".
The wind and snow covered the grave behind Xu Hui, and Xu Hui's eyes became even colder and more stern at this moment.
What he buried was not only his own love, but also the last bit of gratitude he owed to the grassland.
From this moment on, Xu Hui and the Xiongnu are locked in a life-or-death struggle!
As snowflakes danced in the air, more than four thousand iron cavalrymen were fully prepared and their killing intent soared into the sky!
Mu Zi'an rode the Red Hare, held the Fangtian Halberd in his hand, and gazed into the distance.
When Xu Hui, who was thin but had a cold expression, returned to the team, Mu Zi'an roared.
"Marching!"
Behind them, Zhao Yun, Luo Cheng, Jia Xu, Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu, and a thousand Night Scouts! Two thousand Beiwei Army soldiers! They all roared in unison.
"kill!"
Immediately following was the sound of warhorses neighing! Led by Xu Hui, Mu Zian headed towards the Xiongnu royal court in a zigzag pattern.
When snow begins to fall on the grassland, everything around turns into a vast expanse of white.
However, with a compass and Xu Hui, who is a living map, Mu Zi'an doesn't need to worry about going astray.
In the following days, the grasslands were plunged into fear.
The four thousand cavalrymen led by Mu Zi'an moved across the grasslands as if they were appearing and disappearing without a trace.
Wherever they went, the Xiongnu tribes fled in terror.
As news spread that a Han Chinese force, like divine soldiers, would descend upon the grasslands from the exterminated Xiongnu tribe, news of their impending demise spread.
This fear spread like a plague in all directions.
For a century, no Han Chinese had ever been able to invade the grasslands.
As a result, these Xiongnu people had long forgotten the bravery of the Han cavalry.
You don't know the pain until the knife cuts you.
Mu Zian, on the other hand, was like a sharp blade piercing directly into the chest of the Xiongnu man.
While Mu Zian was maneuvering and maneuvering in his hometown of the Xiongnu.
A series of major battles were also taking place in Liangzhou.
The loss of Gongzhou City enraged Yelü Junba.
Wu Yan, who committed the foolish act of massacring surrendered generals, was immediately ordered to be executed by Yelü Junba.
At Pei Shaozhu's suggestion, Yelü Junba gathered all the cavalry.
Just as the 150,000 reinforcements from Dali arrived in Liangzhou, they took advantage of the situation and launched a surprise attack!
This battle was fierce and chaotic!
The Hun cavalry's striking power and mobility were absolute weapons of mass destruction on the battlefield.
The reinforcements, consisting of infantry and cavalry, were not at any advantage to begin with.
However, thanks to their superior numbers and equipment, they managed to withstand the charge of the Xiongnu cavalry.
As the Longxiang cavalry were deployed to the battlefield, the reinforcements from Dali gradually began to gain the upper hand.
However, at this moment, Yelü Junba unleashed his trump card on the battlefield—two thousand Iron Pagodas!
As the most advanced war machine of this era!
The appearance of the Iron Pagoda is absolutely a game-changer on the battlefield!
The two thousand Ironclad Cavalry were like a sharp blade, directly cutting the battlefield in two!
The oppressive force emanating from the Iron Pagoda meant that even the elite troops of the Beijing Garrison had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
After a round of charges, the Longxiang Battalion's cavalry suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw from the battlefield ahead of schedule.
Without the support of the Longxiang Battalion, the 150,000-strong army was immediately put at a disadvantage.
Just as Yelü Junba was about to swallow up these 150,000 people in one fell swoop, Zhang Han led 30,000 vanguard troops to arrive from Gongzhou City in time.
Whether it was 180,000 or 150,000, it didn't really matter to Yelü Junba.
However, Zhang Han's 30,000-strong vanguard army brought with them 5,000 crossbows!
The heavily armored soldiers of the Trapped Camp bravely stood at the forefront, and five thousand crossbows roared like wild beasts!
Two thousand ironclad cavalrymen fell one after another like wheat.
Upon seeing this, Yelü Junba immediately ordered the Iron Pagoda to withdraw from the battlefield to avoid further casualties.
From dawn till dusk, the two sides fought a bloody battle that ended in a near draw.
In the following days, Tuosi, who had been sent out by Yelü Jun, began to play his role.
Scouts continued to attack the supply lines of the Dali reinforcements.
In war, it is never about fighting people, but about logistical support and maintenance.
The daily consumption of an army of 180,000 is enormous, and the consequences of running out of food would be unimaginable!
Left with no other option, the Dali reinforcements had to send more men to escort the grain route.
Even so, it still couldn't prevent the supply lines from being attacked.
The Longxiang Camp's cavalry was nearly wiped out in the battle against the Iron Pagoda, so they had no way to deal with the attacks of the Xiongnu cavalry.
This is the greatest advantage brought about by the mobility of cavalry.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yelü Junba launched continuous attacks on the Dali reinforcements, gradually eroding their strength.
The situation, which was on the verge of collapse, was gradually corrected thanks to Yelü Junba's efforts.
However, the resilience of the Dali reinforcements greatly exceeded Yelü Junba's expectations.
For some reason, the morale of the Dali reinforcements was extremely high, and their hatred for the Xiongnu was also very deep.
The two sides are locked in a life-or-death struggle the moment they meet.
