The sky was slightly bright and dark clouds covered the ground.
The north wind is still blowing, sharp as a knife, piercing the bone marrow.
Suddenly, heavy snow fell, soaking the clothes and armor of Maodun and his companions. In an instant, the front was covered with snow, and the horses could hardly move forward.
Maodun and his companions had to dismount and walk, fleeing in a hurry in the snowstorm.
The Huns were already exhausted and had no will to resist.
Maodun was hungry and tired, so he had to stop for a while to rest. At the same time, he ordered the Xiongnu soldiers to search for food and fire to make a fire to cook and keep warm.
Just as they were resting, a ranger came to report: "Chan Yu, something terrible has happened! An army has been spotted three miles behind us!"
"What!"
Maodun jumped up immediately. He hadn't even sat down yet and the pursuers were already here?
He asked urgently, "Can you see the enemy's flag clearly? How many people are there?"
Maodun was extremely panicked, and the Huns who followed him were even more panicked, as if the sky was about to fall.
The spy shook his head and said, "Report to the Chanyu, this army consists of about 500 men, without any banners, and judging by their disheveled clothing, they are likely not the Zhou army."
Maodun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come with me and have a look. We must not let the news leak out at this moment."
After he finished speaking, he led his men to ambush the five hundred people.
Just as Maodun was about to give the order to attack, one of his personal guards recognized him as a member of the Aries tribe.
Maodun immediately incorporated the remaining troops and set out again.
Looking at the 1,500 men under his command, Maodun felt a little safer. He took out the map given to him by Jia Shixian and examined it carefully.
This place is less than thirty miles away from Wuzhou Pass.
After a short rest, we will return to the grassland with all our strength.
After a brief reorganization, Maodun and his entourage did not dare to stop and fled straight to the grassland.
The journey was very smooth without any accidents.
They arrived at Hulukou smoothly without encountering any army from the Great Zhou.
Seeing this, Maodun felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
It just so happened that at this time, the Huns under his command were also starving and cold, so hungry that they could not even walk.
The war horses were extremely exhausted and often fell to the ground.
Maodun had no choice but to order his soldiers to rest for a while in front.
They relied on this forest to make fires for warmth, kill horses, cook, and fill their stomachs.
Maodun and his men were roasting by the fire.
It seemed that today had been too eventful, and Maodun's spirit was a little abnormal. He suddenly went crazy again and laughed with his head raised.
The guards beside him asked in confusion, "Why are you laughing again, Chanyu?"
Before, the Chanyu laughed at the incompetence of the emperor of the Great Zhou, but he didn't expect to attract an ambush and suffered heavy losses, even the Zhelan cavalry were killed.
Why are you laughing again now?
I hope nothing more trouble will happen...
Maodun looked at the surrounding terrain and laughed out loud, "I laugh at the lack of wisdom and strategy of the Empress of the Great Zhou and Chen Wujiu."
"If this Chanyu were to deploy his troops, he would certainly ambush a group of men right here, waiting for them to tire themselves out."
"In this case, even if we manage to escape, I'm afraid there won't be many of us left alive."
"You didn't set up an ambush in such a dangerous place, and allowed us to get away with it. What else could that be but stupidity?"
"Hahaha--"
Maodun was laughing triumphantly.
suddenly.
The front and rear troops were all agitated, shouting: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Maodun was horrified and pale, and he didn't even bother to put on his armor. He hurriedly snatched the warhorse of his personal guard and ran away in panic.
With the leader acting like this, the people below are naturally even more confused.
"Wei Wuyin, the subordinate of the Great Zhou Emperor, is here. Maodun, don't run away!"
Wei Wuyin led his 1,000 ambush troops and launched a sudden attack, killing several people in the chaotic army of 1,500 people.
"Where's Maodun?"
"Is anyone watching Maodun?"
Wei Wuyin shouted loudly.
"The Chanyu stole my warhorse and escaped through a small road," said the captured Hun.
"Lord Wei, let us give chase? I promise to capture the Xiongnu Chanyu intact for you."
Ju Meng was eager to try, he didn't want to miss such a great achievement.
Unexpectedly, Wei Wuyin covered his chest with his hands, looking heartbroken.
"ah!!!"
"I didn't expect that we would have to stay in this snowy place for half the night."
"This great achievement of capturing the Chanyu alive still went to someone else."
“It hurts, it hurts so much!”
Ju Meng looked confused and said, "Sir, we can actually go after them. We still have time..."
"well--"
Wei Wuyin sighed deeply, "There are still people lying in ambush ahead."
"Let's catch up with him and see how happy he is."
"I can only say that this credit has nothing to do with us."
Ju Meng nodded.
really.
Chasing after them but failing to catch them, and instead having to watch our allies vanish with high spirits, how frustrating is that?
"Sir, how can you still laugh?"
Ju Meng saw that Wei Wuyin seemed to be schizophrenic, with all kinds of sighs and discomfort on his face, but there was always a smile on his face.
Could it be that Lord Wei was so grief-stricken and angry that he had hysteria?
Ju Meng was very confused, so he asked this question.
Wei Wuyin shook his head, almost unable to stop laughing.
"Nothing, nothing."
Junior Brother Qin has made such a great contribution, and coupled with his previous achievements, he surpasses that guy Chen Wujiu, so there will be no problem for him to be directly appointed as Prime Minister.
At that time, they, the brothers, will join forces to make things difficult for Chen Wujiu.
When I think of Chen Wujiu’s expression at that time.
