Chapter 504: Come and take your head!
The Xiongnu nobles did not take the Han army's attack seriously at all. The Xiongnu Chanyu laughed loudly at the banquet and said, "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of knights to attack us.
But this Chanyu was not afraid.
This Chanyu has offered sacrifices to the great Heaven, and Heaven has responded to this Chanyu, the only Son of Heaven, surrounded by the sun and the moon, and invincible.
Behind the vast grassland is an endless barren Gobi Desert. The Han army does not have wings, so it is impossible for them to suddenly appear in front of us like gods.
Whether to beat them or just train them like hunting dogs is up to us.
Moreover, behind this barren Gobi Desert lies the iron cavalry of our Great Xia. If the Han army dares to attack, they will never return!
The men of Daxia are eagles on the grassland. They will always circle above the vast sky and never fall.
Drink!
When the Han army runs out of food and water, I, the Chanyu, will obey the will of heaven, lead the warriors of Daxia, ride on war horses, wield swords, and defeat all the invading enemies!"
The face of the Xiongnu Chanyu was full of pride, and his voice reached the ears of every Xiongnu noble. Everyone laughed and sang, and danced the legendary Daxia Dance around the campfire.
"Great Chanyu surrounded by the sun and the moon, the only son of the heaven, I wish you a long life, and may your fame spread to every corner of the world, and may all people praise you and fear you, just as they fear the heavens."
Loud singing rang out, and bold noble women sang around their husbands and the Chanyu. The singing contained decades of worry as well as vitality. After all, the great Daxia was not defeated and stood up again on the grassland.
…
While the nobles in the Xiongnu royal court were drinking and celebrating, Luo Shi, who had led the Han army, had just conquered a tribe outside the Xiongnu royal court and was on his way.
No one would have thought that the Han army would suddenly come here.
"charge!"
Facing the enemy who had not formed a formation, Luo Shi's orders were simple and straightforward. The cavalry deployed in formation, and then moved forward like geese. The sabers were simply placed horizontally on the sides of the horses, and they could continue to reap the enemies without having to swing them.
The high-speed horses simply rushed forward and could not turn at all. After rushing past, they slowly turned to the sides and then rushed back in the same formation.
Once, twice.
Countless lives were lost in this slaughter.
There was almost no hindrance, it was a complete massacre, and the Temple Army's killing always seemed like a skill.
Accurate.
efficiency.
They harvest lives in silence, and only after charging past on horseback will they let out a cheering whistle, which is both a celebration and a threat.
Luo Shi was riding a warhorse, and the horse was stepping into a pool of blood. A strong fishy smell kept coming. All around him were corpses of various causes of death. There were sparks from the burnt-out bodies, and slightly reddish spots of light.
“Tap, tap, tap.”
Perhaps the viscosity of the blood made the warhorse quite uncomfortable. The warhorse under Luo Shi's crotch paced anxiously. Luo Shi patted its head lightly, and it calmed down a little.
Several people rode their horses towards Luo Shi, and when they got close, they said happily: "Grand Protector, this is the tribe of Zuo Guli King, worthy of being one of the four kings of the Xiongnu. This tribe is quite wealthy, and we have seized a lot of supplies.
But King Zuo Guli is not here. The captives said that King Zuo Guli went to the Xiongnu king's tent to attend a banquet. "
Luo Shi frowned when he heard that, and looked around the battlefield. He found that most of the soldiers were moving things, with joy on their faces from the bottom of their hearts.
He immediately shouted, "Order the whole army to gather within a quarter of an hour. Take only light dry food and leave all the heavy baggage behind."
Speed is of the essence in war, how can we waste it here?
It’s just the Zuoguli King’s tribe, especially the Zuoguli King is not here.
When several people heard this, they said with some embarrassment: "Grand Protector, are we really going to abandon all these supplies? The soldiers will take these back, which will be a great fortune."
Luo Shi flicked his whip and shouted sternly: "How can you charge with so many supplies? Immediately notify the whole army, follow me to raid the Xiongnu royal court. After breaking through the Xiongnu royal court, take whatever you want. I will not care. You are allowed not to put down your swords!
In a quarter of an hour, the soldiers who have not assembled will be killed directly on the spot, and those who have assembled will march on directly without waiting. Do you understand?"
The Xiongnu royal court!
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly when they heard this. They almost picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons. There was still the Huns' royal court ahead waiting for everyone to harvest. Wasting time here would be really missing the forest for the trees.
"Are those prisoners going to be released?"
Luo Shi was already riding forward, and the Temple Army followed him. All they could hear was a cold and stern voice: "Gather in a quarter of an hour, and set off. Deal with the prisoners yourselves, and don't delay."
Several people took the order and turned their horses around, then shouted loudly to the soldiers to return to the team and attack the Xiongnu royal court. Some insignificant screams were heard, but no one paid attention. The well-trained army quickly gathered again.
“Tap, tap, tap.”
The sounds of countless horse hooves rang out across the grassland, and the endless Han army raised layers of dust across the grassland.
The Western Region Army suffered almost no major losses, except that they looked a little sallow, but their morale was still high, and rewards always boost people's enthusiasm.
After all, there is no impenetrable wall in this world, let alone the fact that there are no walls on the grassland. The wind from all directions brought the news that the Han army had arrived in Mobei to the camp of the Xiongnu king.
The Xiongnu Zuoxian King was horrified and asked repeatedly, "Did the Han army really come to Mobei again? And did they defeat the Zuoguli King's army?"
After receiving the spies' accurate information, Zuo Xian Wang rushed out of the tent to report to the Xiongnu Chanyu, shouting loudly, "Gather the soldiers immediately, gather the soldiers immediately."
One by one, the Hun soldiers were awakened from their sleep and picked up their weapons while still half asleep.
The armored soldiers sat behind everyone, wearing light leather armor and heavy iron armor at the ready. If there was an enemy attack, they would put on the armor first.
Zuo Xian Wang ordered his men to command the royal soldiers, and he ran to the bonfire banquet, ready to inform the Xiongnu Chanyu of the news. However, he did not expect that he would be captured as soon as he arrived near the royal tent and carried in front of the Xiongnu Chanyu.
The face of the Xiongnu Chanyu was filled with anger, the anger was even about to turn into reality, and his face was full of ferocious expressions.
The nobles around them were also dissatisfied. The Xiongnu Chanyu shouted, "Wang Cheng! You gathered the soldiers without authorization. Are you planning to betray us?
Who gave you the courage to betray a great Chanyu?"
betray?
Zuo Xian Wang was stunned, and then he realized that the Xiongnu Chanyu had misunderstood the reason why he had assembled his troops, and he shouted loudly: "Chanyu, the Han army has come to attack us, and they have also broken through the Zuo Guli Wang's tribe.
I assembled the army to resist the attack of the Han army, and I came here to inform you.
Only by gathering the Royal Court's Golden Guards can we fight against the Han army. You are like a father to me, how could I possibly betray you?"
"Han army?"
The Xiongnu Chanyu asked in confusion, how did the Han army get here?
They also defeated the Zuoguli King's tribe quietly.
"Han army?"
The Hun nobles who had just glared at each other now had anxiety in their eyes, and some of them began to shake involuntarily, with an uneasy feeling churning in everyone's hearts.
Although the current Xiongnu is just a small fry compared to the Xiongnu Empire at its peak, the Zuoguli Kingdom is one of the four kings of the Xiongnu after all, and its strength cannot be underestimated among the kings.
But they were annihilated by the Han army silently. How could this not make people feel terrified?
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at the Xiongnu Chanyu. Didn't you just say that it was absolutely impossible for the Han army to come to Mobei?
So what's happening now?
"It's the Han army!"
Zuo Xian Wang confirmed once again that he could feel a noisy atmosphere in the quiet place.
The Xiongnu Chanyu could of course sense the emotions and thoughts of the crowd. He was quite angry and shouted, "So what if the Han army is here? Gather the Chanyu's royal guards. Do the men of Daxia fear the cowardly Han people?
Even if you dare to come here, you will face death.
Let us wash away the shame that was inflicted on Mount Langjuxu with the blood of the Han army, and offer sacrifice to the great and supreme god of the sky, as well as all the gods of the mountains, forests and rivers.
Almost as soon as the Xiongnu Chanyu finished speaking, a slight tremor came from under their feet. They were all nomadic princes and nobles, so how could they not know what this thing was?
There are a large number of horses running at high speed!
Han army!
This was everyone’s first thought, followed by extreme fear. How could the Han army rush here so quickly?
"Where are your Zuo Xian Wang troops?"
The Xiongnu Chanyu felt like he was going crazy. Could it be that Zuo Xian Wang’s troops would just let the Han army come?
King Zuo Xian was also confused. How could such a large tribe of mine be directly defeated by the Han army?
This is absolutely impossible!
It's not like we're unprepared.
In fact, it was certainly impossible for the Han army to defeat Zuo Xian Wang's tribe so quickly, but that did not prevent Luo Shi from dividing his troops. From the moment Zuo Xian Wang hurriedly left the tribe, Luo Shi was pleasantly surprised to conclude that the Xiongnu royal court was indeed unprepared!
As a general, you must not miss such a great opportunity.
Luo Shi immediately ordered his deputy general to command the army to continue attacking Zuo Xian Wang's troops. He himself led the temple army and three thousand elite Han troops, avoided Zuo Xian Wang's troops and rushed straight to the Xiongnu royal court.
The Xiongnu Chanyu kicked Zuo Xian Wang to the ground and shouted, "Gather the royal guards, arm the best warriors, prepare for battle, and let the Han people know the might of the warriors of Daxia."
Hearing what the Chanyu said, all the nobles trembled all over. Looking at the Xiongnu Chanyu, they just wanted to say, please stop talking, your mouth is like a blessed one, whatever you say comes true.
When the huge and unparalleled military flag appeared under the glow of the fire, when the flag of the invincible temple army entrenched in the Western Regions appeared.
A loud shout came from far away, "Hunnu Chanyu!
My name is Luo Shi, the son of Luo Wuji, the unrivaled Marquis of the Han Dynasty, and I am here to take your head!"
