Chapter 402: Extra chapter for leader Zhulan
If we were to say who is the most fortunate person in the world today, it must be the Aries King of the Xiongnu. Being able to be attacked and killed by both Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing at the same time is the treatment that only the Khan of the Xiongnu should have.
But King Aries felt it in advance. If this isn’t a blessing, then what is it? Ji Zhao thinks King Aries should learn to be grateful.
The soldiers led by Huo Qubing were all elite imperial guards of the Han court. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were not much worse than the warriors. After all, they were all mortals, and the warriors could not fight against several at once.
The difference between the two sides is that the will of the brave warriors is supernatural. They will only fight to the death and will not collapse. However, the morale of the Han army under the leadership of Huo Qubing is high and they can also withstand high losses. When fighting the Huns in a favorable battle, they are not much slower than the brave warriors.
Huo Qubing was wearing a sharp sword on his waist and holding a long spear in his hand. He rushed forward and Luo Wuji also rushed over. The two men passed by each other. Huo Qubing laughed loudly and said, "Luo Yingyang, I came just in time."
Luo Wuji shook off the blood stains on his spear, pointed in the direction of King Aries, and shouted, "This is just a timely help. Huo Piaoyao, the one with five white feathers on his head is King Aries. Let's see who will kill him."
"clear!"
Huo Qubing pulled the reins, turned the horse's head in an instant, and rushed towards King Aries with Luo Wuji on the left and right. When King Aries saw this scene, he was scared to death. He had witnessed the heroic performances of these two killers on the battlefield just now, and now they were rushing towards him together. It was simply a scene from a horror movie.
"Go! Go!"
The Aries King, who had been quite confident just now, was now filled with fear. The nobles from the court of the Xiongnu Chanyu who were standing next to him were also inexplicably terrified. They immediately wanted to abandon the Aries King and leave here quickly to join the army of the Aries King. If there were really 10,000 people, their safety should be guaranteed.
It's a pity that it was too slow. The difference between two thousand real elite soldiers and thousands of ordinary pastoral troops was too huge.
It is no exaggeration to say that even in a head-on confrontation, with generals like Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing, these two thousand people could even fight against King Aries' army of tens of thousands, but in the end they would most likely be wiped out.
Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing were like two sharp knives. They easily tore open all the barriers protecting King Aries, and then stabbed them fiercely. In the end, what stood in the way of Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing were King Aries' most elite soldiers.
Luo Wu Ji raised the lance in his hand heavily and stabbed it, even if the enemy was blocked, he would be knocked off the horse directly. In such a strong confrontation, the importance of spiritual soldiers was instantly reflected. The combat power of these spiritual soldiers could not be demonstrated when facing ordinary soldiers, but they could make the elite soldiers stagger. Luo Wu Ji's advance speed suddenly increased.
Luo Wuji estimated the distance, put away his lance, took out his longbow, and prepared to kill Aries King with one arrow, but there were obstacles around Aries King.
Upon seeing this, Huo Qubing immediately shouted loudly: "Luo Yingyang."
Luo Wuji saw Huo Qubing drawing his bow and preparing to shoot an arrow on the other side, but he was further away from King Aries. Luo Wuji understood what Huo Qubing was going to do, and drew his bow immediately. He heard the roar of the heavy arrow. Although the arrow did not penetrate the defense circle of King Aries, King Aries was a frightened bird, and was frightened by Huo Qubing's sudden arrow. The golden guards in the royal tent beside him hurriedly raised their shields to defend Huo Qubing's side.
Right now!
Luo Wuzhi shot an arrow, which passed through the crowd and hit Aries King's neck heavily. The huge force directly twisted Aries King's neck. People who were close could even hear a snap, and it was obvious that the bone was broken. In this situation, no matter how good Aries King's riding skills were, he would fall heavily off the horse. He exhaled more than inhaled, and died in just a few breaths.
As soon as King Aries died, except for those who came from the Xiongnu royal court who were still able to fight normally, the main force belonging to King Aries fell into chaos in an instant. Some captains who were more loyal to King Aries led their soldiers to seek revenge, but more soldiers fled in all directions when they saw this scene.
"color!"
Huo Qubing cheered loudly. Although the bet was important, killing King Aries was more important. Huo Qubing was not the kind of person who did not know the importance of things. He might get carried away sometimes, but overall he was still quite reliable.
Moreover, Luo Wuzhi's arrow was really impressive. It passed through numerous obstacles and moved at high speed, steadily reaching the neck of the Aries King who was also moving at high speed. Even Huo Qubing admitted that he could not match his archery skills.
He has always had a high opinion of himself. Except for his uncle Liu Che and his uncle Wei Qing, he was not inferior to any other general of the time. But now that he has seen Luo Wuji, he knows that there are still people in this world who can compete with him.
Luo Wuji shot and killed the Aries King with one arrow, heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed loudly: "Thank you, Huo Piaoyao, those people are nobles from the Xiongnu royal court, don't let them go."
Upon hearing this, Huo Qubing immediately rode forward, drew his bow and arrow again, aimed at a rather young noble and shot. After a fierce fight, the golden guards in the Aries King's tent either died or fled. Huo Qubing rushed through and killed or captured dozens or even hundreds of people.
King Aries' army arrived little by little, and then was defeated little by little by Huo Qubing and Luo Wuji. It was like they were sending their heads off in waves.
Until the end, the remaining slightly larger army of King Aries finally arrived, but when they arrived at the edge, all they saw was corpses all over the ground. They saw the Han army chasing and hacking people like gods, with corpses everywhere. Then they saw the king's body being lifted high, and immediately everyone gave up the idea of fighting.
On the grassland, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is no such thing as loyalty, righteousness, and morality. The winner takes all. This is the rule. The Aries King has been killed, so there is no need to die for him.
Besides, they would not be able to win if they really wanted to fight, because the men in the Aries King's army who could fight had basically been lost in the previous raid on the camp, Huo Qubing's pursuit, and the battle just now.
Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing met up again and said, "Huo Piaoyao, it's time to go back to the general. We have suffered heavy casualties and made great contributions. We can't stay out here any longer."
Huo Qubing glanced at the soldiers behind the two who were still relatively intact. There were less than half of them left, and even among that half, some were seriously injured.
Luo Wuji saw that even the number of brave warriors had decreased. In a battle of this intensity, it was impossible for the elite golden guards of the king's tent in front of him to not suffer any losses.
However, compared with the results of the battle, this was already a very small loss, but we really couldn't fight any further. He nodded and said, "Luo Yingyang is right. We should go back and report to the general and give credit to our brothers."
There is no immortal on the battlefield. Even with such heavy casualties, it cannot conceal the excitement of the people, because the results of this victory are so great. Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing both know very well that both of them can be awarded the title of marquis in this wave.
The rest of the surviving soldiers were able to gain promotions and make fortunes based on their achievements.
…
The Han army’s central camp.
Wei Qing stood in the big tent, looking at Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing who had not appeared for several days and nights, "I didn't expect you would come back together. Where have you been during this time?"
Luo Wuji didn't say anything. Huo Qubing laughed loudly and said, "Uncle, your nephew and Captain Yingyang have brought you a great gift."
Then, under Wei Qing's shocked gaze, Huo Qubing first recounted his own contributions one by one, then Luo Wuji recounted his own contributions, and finally Huo Qubing recounted the contributions made by both of them together.
Wei Qing wanted to say something, then opened his mouth. The contributions made by the two colonels were greater than those of tens of thousands of troops.
"Uncle, now that King Baiyang is dead, only King Loufan's tribe is left. We can clean up the remnants of King Baiyang while we're at it. I think we can change the order of the battle plan."
The purpose of attacking the Xiongnu holy land Longcheng was to cut off the connection between the royal court and the Baiyang King and the Loufan King. But now that there is a chance to destroy them directly, why bother attacking Longcheng? Wei Qing immediately said, "First send the battle report of the two of you back to Chang'an, then notify the army to stop heading north and head southwest to attack the remnants of the Baiyang King and the Loufan King!"
“Yes!”
All the generals in the camp obeyed the order in unison, filled with envy and shock.
This battle report was immediately sent to Chang'an by Wei Qing. The messenger hurried into the palace, where Liu Che and several important ministers were. The messenger walked into the palace, knelt on one knee, first handed over a battle report, and then held another copy and read aloud: "Your Majesty.
Captain Yingyang Luo Wuji and Captain Piaoyao Huo Qubing attacked from two directions. Captain Yingyang captured the Baiyang King Commander, the uncle of the Xiongnu Chanyu, 37 porters and captains, and beheaded 2,114 more people. Captain Piaoyao killed the Xiongnu Chanyu's grandfather, captured the Xiongnu Chanyu's uncle, and also captured 42 porters, prime ministers, commanders, porters, etc., and beheaded 2,133 more people.
Captain Yingyang and Captain Piaoyao attacked the 10,000-strong army of King Baiyang together. Captain Yingyang killed King Baiyang, and Captain Piaoyao killed two princes of the Chanyu. In addition, they killed or captured 137 porters, commanders, commanders of ten thousand and commanders of a thousand. In addition, they beheaded or captured 3,757 people.
The main force of the Aries King's army was completely annihilated. Recently, Captain Yingyang and Captain Piaoyao are still accompanying the general in a fierce battle with the Loufan King!"
A long war report shocked the Han court, and it fell silent instantly.
Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe what they heard.
This is too fierce!
The two colonels had only 2,400 men. Even if they were all lost, the casualty ratio was far more than one to one. They were Huns, not mixed barbarians!
Liu Che stood up and wanted to say something, but after pacing for a few times, he still didn't know how to express his shock.
But he knew that his choice was right. Reusing Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing was the most correct thing he had ever done. These were two peerless swords bestowed upon the Han Dynasty by the Supreme Emperor Su!
"Pass on my order!"

At that time, Luo Wuji held the Purple Ying Divine Sword, and Huo Qubing held the Green Suo Divine Sword, and they combined their swords to create a powerful force that spread over hundreds of miles, killing all the demon soldiers under the White Aries Demon King. - "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Han Dynasty"
The inspiration for "The Legend of the Two Dragons" is a lot of Hong Kong comics and novels about gods and demons.
