Sun Hao did not refuse his father Sun Zhe's invitation in person, but just said that he needed some time to think about it.
But deep down, Sun Hao was not willing to follow his father Sun Zhe to Quan'an City.
After all, Sun Hao still felt upset because his father Sun Zhe had ignored him for more than ten years.
Moreover, as long as he could avoid the purge of the gangs in Ganyang City by King Yong'an, Sun Hao felt that he might live a more comfortable life if he continued to stay in Ganyang City.
On the morning of August 25, 387 in the Daliang calendar, the Liang army and the Xiongnu army took up their positions outside their respective camps.
More than 2,000 armored soldiers under Sun Hao's command were arranged to the rear of the Liang army's formation, but Sun Hao brought Qin Qiong, Huang Zhong, Yuchi Gong, Dian Wei, Xiong Kuohai, and Pei Yuanqing to the vicinity of King Yong'an's flag.
At this moment, hundreds of generals from the imperial guards and the Ganyang Army had gathered at the flag of Prince Yong'an. Prince Yong'an Chen Su, wearing a suit of golden armor, as well as the Grand Commander of the Ganyang Army Cao Tingjin and the Governor of Pizhou Chen Fengshi were surrounded by the generals in the middle.
In front of Yong'an King Chen Su and hundreds of generals, there were three rows of heavy infantry formations.
Just as Sun Hao arrived at the commander's flag, a cavalry general from the opposite Xiongnu army came to the front of the two armies at the urging of his horse.
The Xiongnu cavalry general held his long sword horizontally and shouted in a strange tone of Liang dialect: "I am He Suile, the commander of the Xiongnu Khanate. Is there anyone from Liang who dares to fight me?"
Sun Hao had heard before that before a battle between two armies, the nomadic peoples of the grasslands would often send out powerful generals to fight in front of the battle in order to boost the morale of their own army.
Unexpectedly, the Huns would also have a duel with Liang's imperial guards and Ganyang Army today. Although the Liang army did not have such a tradition, a few Liang generals with excellent martial arts were also very keen on fighting in front of the battlefield to demonstrate their bravery.
When Yong'an King Chen Su saw a Xiongnu general coming to the front of the battle line and wanting to fight, he couldn't help but smile and said to the generals, "Since the Xiongnu want to fight, let's play with them!
Who among you is willing to go up and retrieve this Xiongnu Tartar's head for me?"
As soon as Yong'an Prince Chen Su finished speaking, a general of the imperial guards shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Liu Di is willing to bring back the head of this Xiongnu Tartar and present it to Your Highness!"
This imperial guard general named Liu Di was nearly 1.9 meters tall and very burly, and his weapon was a long-handled saber.
Yong'an Prince Chen Su nodded slightly, "Then let Liu Di fight!
Remember, don't weaken the reputation of our Daliang Imperial Guards!"
When Sun Hao saw the imperial guard general who asked for a fight, he secretly thought that something was wrong.
Using the skill of "Primary Exploration Eye", Sun Hao has seen that the combat power value of Xiongnu Wanhu He Suile is as high as 96 points.
Although Liu Di is also a "level 90" general, his combat power value is only 92 points, which is one level lower than the Xiongnu Wanhu He Suile.
However, given Sun Hao's status, it was not his turn to speak at this time. He could only watch Liu Di urge his horse to the front of the two armies and fight with He Suile, the Xiongnu Wanhu.
What Sun Hao didn't know was that Liu Di was actually an old acquaintance of the three brothers Gao Heng, Gao Tai, and Gao Yong. He was the captain of the second battalion of the Imperial Guards' Yulin Cavalry and a very famous general in the Imperial Guards. He was once one of the "Five Tigers of the Yulin" together with Gao Sheng, the Gao brothers' deceased father.
After Liu Di fought fiercely with the Xiongnu Wanhu Hesile for more than thirty rounds, when Liu Di and the opponent once again met in the stirrups of their horses, he was directly killed by a sword.
He Suile then arrogantly chopped off Liu Di's head and hung it on his saddle. He then shouted arrogantly, "Is there anyone else who dares to die?"
Seeing Liu Di being killed in the battle, Yong'an King Chen Su's face changed involuntarily. He turned to a taller and stronger imperial guard officer behind him and ordered, "Wu Jun, go up and chop off this arrogant Xiongnu Tartar!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
This imperial guard general named Wu Jun was a Lang Jiang of the Guangwu Town of the imperial guards. His martial arts skills were almost among the top three among the hundreds of thousands of imperial guards.
Seeing that Wu Jun's combat power was also 96 points, Sun Hao felt that even if he could not defeat the Xiongnu general Hesuile, he should be able to escape unscathed. But to Sun Hao's surprise, the horse Wu Jun was riding stumbled during the fight. As a result, Wu Jun, a powerful general with a combat power of 96 points, was very frustrated and was beheaded by the Xiongnu general Hesuile.
Next, Tian Jian, a captain of the Rui Camp under the command of Cao Tingjin, the commander-in-chief of the Ganyang Army, urged his horse to the front of the two armies. However, Tian Jian, with a combat power of 90 points, fought with He Suile, a Wanhu of the Xiongnu, for only twenty or so rounds before he was killed by He Suile's sword.
When hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry saw Wanhu Hesile kill three fierce generals of the Liang army in a row, their morale was greatly boosted and their cheers became louder and louder.
At this time, Sun Hao felt that he could not wait any longer. Although there were many "level 90" generals among the imperial guards and Ganyang army generals here, none of them had a combat power value of 95 points.
No matter which general from the Imperial Guards or the Ganyang Army goes up next, I'm afraid he still won't be a match for the Xiongnu Wanhu.
Sun Hao then took the initiative and loudly challenged the enemy, saying, "Your Majesty, my brother Xiong Kuohai is willing to kill this Xiongnu Tartar for you!"
At this moment, King Yong'an Chen Su regretted very much that he had started a battle with the Huns. After losing three battles in a row, the morale of the Imperial Guards and the Ganyang Army had been somewhat low.
Upon hearing that Sun Hao was willing to send people to fight, Yong'an King Chen Su couldn't help but show some hesitation on his face.
If we suffer another defeat, the morale of the Imperial Guards and the Ganyang Army will inevitably drop even lower. Should we send in the heavy infantry now?
Chen Fengshi, the governor of Pizhou, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke to Yong'an Prince Chen Su, saying, "Your Highness, Captain Sun Hao has several brave generals under his command, and Xiong Kuohai is one of them.
I have heard that Xiong Kuohai was born with supernatural powers, and the copper stick he used weighed an astonishing three hundred kilograms."
King Yong'an Chen Su was stunned when he heard this, and then he found that there were two strong men who looked like giants behind Sun Hao. One of the strong men was holding an obviously heavy copper stick in his hand.
"Who is Xiong Kuohai?" Yong'an King Chen Su asked loudly.
Xiong Kuohai shouted in a voice as loud as a bell: "Your Highness, I am Xiong Kuohai."
"Does the copper rod in your hand really weigh three hundred kilograms?"
"It is indeed three hundred kilograms."
“You are truly born with supernatural powers. I hope you won’t disappoint me.
Pass the order, beat the drum to cheer for Xiong Kuohai."
Xiong Kuohai rode a black horse produced by the "Annual Signature System" to the front of the two armies, which immediately restrained the arrogant demeanor of the Xiongnu Wanhu Hesile.
The main reason is that Xiong Kuohai is over two meters and two meters tall, and has a body as big as an iron tower, which is really intimidating.
He Suile pointed the long sword in his hand at Xiong Kuohai, "Import your name!"
Xiong Kuohai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "First, take three blows from grandpa, and then grandpa will tell you what your name is!
Hun Tatars, come and take the first blow! "
