Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 297
At that time, King Wuling of Zhao led the wolf cavalry to the outside of the Great Wall and slaughtered many Huns, which made the Kyushu people clap their hands and praise.

Although for more than 1000 years, wars have often broken out among the major princes of Kyushu.

However, in any case, Kyushu is still of the same origin and connected with each other. If you hear that other countries are being bullied by foreigners, you will naturally feel unhappy.

300 years ago, the state of Jin was powerful and powerful, and it was the strongest country in the world.

However, because of that war, Duke Wen of Jin had to divide the state of Jin into three parts. Although a little national power was preserved, the once powerful state of Jin finally disappeared.

The State of Zhao was in the northernmost part of the State of Jin at that time. When the State of Jin was just beginning to split, the State of Zhao was not very powerful.

Even after the split, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han all believed that they were the orthodox Jin, and the three kingdoms were hostile to each other, and wars broke out because of this.

Not only that, but the Xiongnu, who are dominating the grasslands, saw the civil strife in Kyushu and the split of the once extremely powerful Jin Kingdom, so naturally they would not give up the great opportunity to go south.

During that time, it can be said that Zhao Guo was the most difficult time.

If it wasn't for the Lord of Piaoxue Peak back then, who walked through the northern grasslands with his injuries, the Zhao Kingdom might have perished.

Even so, Zhao Guo still couldn't hold his head up when facing the Xiongnu. Not only did he cut off a lot of land, but he also offered a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Even, the King Zhao at that time also learned the culture and customs of the Huns, and ordered the people to do the same.

After this incident spread, the monarchs of other countries in Kyushu were naturally furious, thinking that King Zhao had insulted the dignity of the people of Kyushu.

At that time, the king of Chu even scolded King Zhao in public, and claimed that if Chu State was not too far away from Zhao State, he would definitely send his troops north to destroy Zhao State first, and then massacre the Xiongnu.

Faced with the abuse of the princes and scholars, as well as the doubts and incomprehension of the people, Zhao Wang just gritted his teeth and developed silently.

More than a hundred years later, King Wuling of Zhao inherited the throne of King Zhao, and he even became brothers with Khan the Huns.

Even if the Huns went south to plunder every winter, King Zhao Wuling turned a blind eye to it. Instead, he deliberately transported a lot of grain to the north so that the Huns could plunder enough wealth.

Seeing that King Zhao Wuling was so knowledgeable, the Khan of the Huns not only sold the good grassland horses to King Zhao Wuling, but also ordered his troops to go down when they plundered, only to rob property and not to hurt people.

At that time, the people of Zhao State dared not speak out against King Zhao, and many passionate young people even went to assassinate King Zhao.

But those who assassinated King Zhao all disappeared, but King Zhao is still alive.

Just when everyone felt that Zhao Guo would be destroyed by King Zhao Wuling sooner or later, and even Yan Guo was on the border, ready to attack Zhao Guo.

King Zhao Wuling did something that shocked the world.

That winter, the weather in the northern grassland was very cold, and the Huns were also very short of food, so they planned to go south to plunder Zhao as in previous years.

Everyone in the Huns knew that Zhao Guoguo had no backbone, and the Huns warriors going south to plunder not only did not have any danger, but would return with full rewards.

In addition, the Huns were really short of food that winter, so the Khan of the Huns directly sent 15 elite cavalry to the south to plunder, almost dispatching all the troops of the Huns.

As for the headquarters of the Huns, only some old, weak, sick and disabled remained.

At that time, the Huns were so powerful that the nomadic peoples on the grassland dared not compete with them, and the neighbor Zhao State was also a weak and deceitful sheep.

Therefore, the Huns Khan did not worry about the safety of the royal court at all.

However, when 15 Xiongnu cavalry entered the country of Zhao and prepared to plunder, they discovered that there was no inexhaustible food here.

The entire northern part of Zhao State was almost deserted, and all the people disappeared without a trace, leaving only empty houses.

Unwilling, the Huns went south again to plunder the hinterland of Zhao.

However, what greeted the Huns this time was not inexhaustible wealth, but [-] well-equipped infantry and extremely strong fortifications.

It wasn't until this time that the Hun commander was convinced that he and others had been tricked by King Zhao Wuling, so he was naturally furious.

If it were normal, the Huns would attack long distances without carrying extra food and grass, and they would definitely withdraw their troops first when they encountered such a strong fortification.

But King Wuling of Zhao stood under the banner, pointed at the Huns commander's nose and shouted: "From now on, if I remind the Huns of the word Zhao Guo, they will feel fear in their hearts."

"And here is where your bones are buried!"

The commander-in-chief of the Xiongnu was furious immediately when he heard the words, and the 15 Xiongnu elite cavalry were also furious, clamoring to slaughter the [-] Zhao troops.

The commander-in-chief of the Huns remembered how weak and deceitful King Zhao Wuling was before, and compared the strength of the two sides, he felt that it should not be a problem to conquer Zhao's defense.

Then, a fierce offensive and defensive battle broke out.

The Huns abandoned their horse riding and began to attack Zhao's fortifications. They fought for seven consecutive days, and Zhao's fortifications were crumbling.

Of the [-] well-equipped Zhao Guo infantry, there are less than [-] left.

As for the Huns, they also paid a heavy price. The Huns even slaughtered war horses as rations due to lack of food.

Because the commander-in-chief of the Huns felt that relying on Zhao's remaining less than [-] remnants and defeated generals, it would not last long at all.

As long as this line of defense can be captured, the Huns can freely demand the property of the entire Zhao Kingdom.

However, just when Zhao's defense line was about to collapse, the commander of the Huns got the news that [-] Zhao cavalry rushed to the outside of the Great Wall and directly entered the court of the Huns.

The Khan of the Huns was beheaded by General Zhao.

After the news spread, the 10,000+ Hun cavalry immediately panicked, and many of them wanted to retreat.

Even the commander-in-chief of the Huns could not stabilize the morale of the army.

At this moment, [-] Zhao cavalry suddenly appeared and rushed into the formation of the Huns.

The Huns had been short of food for a long time, and many of the Huns' cavalry had lost their horses. Coupled with the unstable morale of the army, the Huns were defeated immediately.

In the service, the Huns commander was killed, more than 7 Huns died in battle, and more than [-] were captured or surrendered. As a result, more than [-] Huns soldiers were all killed by King Wuling of Zhao.

King Zhao Wuling still didn't give up, and personally led his troops to march north. Not only did he regain the land occupied by the Huns, but he also slaughtered many Huns tribes.

For several months in a row, the grasslands were filled with shouts of killing, and thick smoke billowed from the destroyed tribes.

After this battle, the world was shocked.

Yan State, who was about to make a move and was about to capture the territory of Zhao State, hurriedly called back the army and sent envoys to Zhao State to request the two sides to form an alliance forever.

As for the king of Chu in the south, after hearing the news, he laughed in front of the courtiers and generals, wrote a letter of credence himself, and sent someone to send it to the state of Zhao.

There are only eight words on the letter of credence: No bullying is allowed in the great dynasty!
As for the 10,000 cavalry who defeated the [-]+ Hun army, and the [-] fine cavalry who attacked the Hun royal court, they have since been crowned with the title of "Wolf Cavalry".

There are rumors in the world: If there are wolf riders, the Zhao country will not be destroyed, and no foreign race will dare to invade!

　When I was writing this chapter, I suddenly found the feeling of writing about the god of war. Unfortunately, this is a martial arts, after all, I still can't wantonly describe war, otherwise this is definitely a good material.
