The heavens start from saving Daming

Destroy the enemy's formation with force, just like the light from the sky breaks through the clouds.

At the foot of Yanzhi Mountain, there is a vast green ocean.

Tens of thousands of Han army cavalry, which had been sharpened for 20 years and supported by all the strength of the world, rushed towards the troops of King Youxian of the Xiongnu like a landslide.

Hundreds of thousands of huge cavalry groups on both sides collided and attacked each other in this huge wilderness, and the fighting and screaming were extremely fierce.

The Huns can be called the two superpowers in the world together with the Han Dynasty, and their own strength is certainly not bad.

The herdsmen of the tribes on the right side of the Huns also dared to fight, and the noble heads did not hesitate to kill and throw away the warriors themselves.

The impact of the two most powerful legions in the world was really like the earth falling apart.

Between the war horses, swords and guns were brandished, and arrows rained down.

The clanging sound of iron tools became the main theme on the battlefield.

When the two sides were fighting, even someone as powerful as Huo Qubing would not be able to direct and control the actions of the various troops.

Each unit can only make its own arrangements based on the pre-war deployment as a strategy and its own flexible maneuvers on the battlefield as tactics.

Huo Qubing was followed closely by his troops. These thousands of cavalry were the most elite of the Han army.

Taking Tunqu as a unit, they formed groups of different sizes, traveling freely and horizontally, constantly attacking the nearby Huns.

Huo Qubing took the lead, personally leading hundreds of horsemen to charge, combing the battlefield over and over again like a razor.

Such a brave performance, especially the general's flag held high by the flag bearer behind him, naturally attracted the attention of the Huns.

Groups of Xiongnu cavalry rushed towards them, but they were either defeated by the nearby Han army or swept away by Huo Qubing.

Until King Luhou of the Huns mobilized nearby people, he first arranged a team to block the Han army near Huo Qubing, and then personally led more than a thousand of the most powerful warriors of the Luhou tribe, and rushed directly to Huo Qubing.

"Good come!"

Seeing a group of Xiongnu soldiers and horses equipped with iron armor coming from the opposite side, Huo Qubing, who was full of enthusiasm on the battlefield, did not have the slightest fear. Instead, he raised his lance and shouted, "Follow me!"

One general bears, the whole army bears.

If one general is brave, the whole army is brave.

As the general, Huo Qubing was so brave, the morale of the Han soldiers around him was naturally boosted, and they shouted and rode forward to fight.

The first round of charges from both sides was filled with the sound of clanging iron tools, occasionally mixed with many screams.

After rushing hundreds of steps, reining in the horse and turning the horse's head, both sides lost a third of each other.

Huo Qubing only had a few hundred people around him, while King Lu Hou had more than 1000 people, which was one-third less. Naturally, King Lu Hou suffered a greater loss.

Huo Qubing was a little surprised. The fighting strength of this Huns team was somewhat beyond expectation.

The reason is also very simple, because the Huns were beaten to urinate blood before.

Both Li Yunze and Wei Qing had severely wounded the Huns. The current Great Dan Yu Yizhixie was even beaten to tears on the shore of the Liao River.

Naturally, they fully understood and studied the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

Facing the extremely high rate of wearing armor, especially the Han army with enough iron armor, the Huns determined after research that only iron armor can fight iron armor.

If you want to break through the iron armor, you must either use a long lance to use the impact kinetic energy of the war horse to shoot down, or use heavy weapons such as hammers, axes, and flails.

When he invaded the Yan Kingdom before, Yi Zhixie almost wiped out all the blacksmiths everywhere and brought them all back to the royal court.

He gave the blacksmiths the best treatment. Not only were they divided into tents, cattle and sheep, and their status was improved, he also assigned aunts to take care of the cattle and sheep, and soothe their lonely hearts at night.

These blacksmiths also created numerous iron armors and various heavy weapons.

Of course, because the Huns did not produce iron, the massive iron tools they needed could only be obtained through high-priced smuggling or from various countries in the Western Regions.

There is no stainless steel in this era, and the iron armor is easily damaged if you don’t pay attention to maintenance, or if it is exposed to rain. As a result, the number of iron armor and iron weapons of the Huns is not large.

Normally, only nobles and warriors in the tribe are eligible to equip it.

The ones that King Luhou brought with him were naturally the strongest in the Luhou tribe. That's why the popularity of iron weapons and armor was so high, and it was possible to bring such great losses to Huo Qubing's troops.

Huo Qubing quickly made adjustments and asked the village chiefs to form a fish scale formation.

The so-called fish scale formation means that soldiers and horses are divided into a number of small fish scale-shaped square formations, arranged in echelons, with the front end slightly convex to enhance attack power and cooperative combat capabilities.

The bravest warriors were at the front, holding lances to clear the way.

He was accompanied by several to dozens of companions, armed with heavy troops to guard both wings and at the same time attack the enemy.

After a short rest, both sides started moving almost simultaneously and launched another attack.

They passed each other, and there was another round of jingling.

Against iron armor, weak bows and arrows were useless, and the most commonly used swords were also ineffective, so both sides used hammers and axes in tacit agreement to chop at each other.

Otherwise, someone like Huo Qubing, who was outstanding in martial arts and powerful, would swing his lance and sweep left and right, directly sweeping his opponent off the back of a galloping horse.

As long as he falls off his horse, he will either suffer broken bones and tendons from the fall, or he will be trampled to death by the hooves of the horse following him.

The Han army that had formed a fish-scale formation was obviously stronger. After this round of hedging, only less than half of the Luhou tribe on the opposite side was sparsely left.

As for the Han army, there are still more than half.

Huo Qubing turned his horse around and was about to charge again when he saw the Huns on the opposite side howling, and then they dispersed and ran back.He was greatly surprised. What happened?
There were knowledgeable people around him who could explain to him, "General, their king was beheaded! He ran away while protecting the body."

"Who did it?" Huo Qubing was overjoyed, "I was going to report it to the emperor and ask for credit for him!"

Sure enough, he is still young. When he asked this question at this time, he immediately heard the soldiers around him rushing to express their opinions to him, "General, I killed the enemy chief!!"

On the chaotic battlefield, King Lu Hou was not wearing anything special. Who knows who killed him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard earth-shattering cheers coming from outside Li Xu.

Huo Qubing looked over and saw the Han troops over there cheering loudly and loudly.

In a short time, a cavalry number rushed over and reported to Huo Qubing, "General! Our army is in formation to kill the enemy chief, King Zhelan!"

King Zhelan, like King Luhou, also personally led the attack.

But he was unlucky and encountered a large group of Han cavalry.

After a round of charging, the group around them was scattered, leaving only a few hundred people.

He was immediately surrounded and hacked by the nearby Han troops, and was eventually beheaded!

"well played!"

Huo Qubing laughed loudly on horseback, pointing his lance at King Youxian's banner several miles away, "Kill him!"

Under the strong attack of the Han army, the right side of the Xiongnu suffered heavy losses. Many of the kings who bravely stepped forward were killed, and their morale gradually declined.

King Youxian's troops were about to be surrounded and had to flee the battlefield in embarrassment.

King Xiutu took the initiative to stay with his followers to break up the rear. In despair, he was surrounded and killed by the Han army.

At noon, the battle finally came to an end.

The Han army did not delay at all, and rushed directly to the old camp of the Xiongnu on the right, dozens of miles away.

More than ten days later, several messengers with flags on their backs rushed through a valley in Longxi County.

Among the bandits who were lying in ambush on the mountainside and preparing to loot the caravan, someone asked the bandit leader, "Should we kill these officers and soldiers?"

The one who responded to him was the bandit leader's boss, Kabuto.

"Are you crazy?! This is an urgent messenger from the imperial court! If you attack the imperial messenger, your ancestors lying in the graveyard will have to be dug up!"

The slapped idiot covered his face and underestimated, "I am an orphan."

"Orphan?" The bandit capital laughed angrily. "If you dare to rob and kill the messenger, the court will immediately find all nine of your clans for you, not even one of them!"

"It's really unlucky today. Let's go back to the village."

A few days later, news of the great victory at Yanzhi Mountain spread throughout Chang'an City and beyond.

". The Xiongnu right group killed King Xiutu, King Zhelan, and King Luhou. They killed five kings, prime ministers, generals, and householders. More than a hundred people including the captain captured the five queen mothers, princes, nobles, and more than a hundred relatives and killed two of them in formation. Level 330, captured more than 23 men, women, and children, 20 cattle and horses, and millions of sheep. Nineteen golden figures from various ministries were seized."

In the battle of Yanzhi Mountain, Huo Qubing achieved a decisive victory.

The main force on the right side of the Xiongnu was defeated, and even the old camps of many tribes fell into the hands of the Han army.

Theoretically speaking, these tribes are basically annihilated.

In the Xuanshi Hall, all the civil and military nobles were dumbfounded when they heard Huo Qubing's unparalleled achievements.

When did the Huns become so weak?
It's not that the Huns have become weaker. In fact, with the addition of Liu Ling, the strength of the Huns has been greatly improved in the past ten years.

Especially in the military aspect, Liu Ling and others brought the Han army's tactics and tactics, and the blacksmiths also provided the Huns with enough iron tools, armor, etc.

Moreover, the strength of the Han army also suppressed the internal turmoil of the Huns, allowing them to unite with Da Shanyu Yizhixie when facing a powerful foreign enemy, and had enough cohesion.

Therefore, the Huns are more powerful than before.

But they were still defeated easily. The only explanation is that the Han army is stronger!

"This battle." Li Yunze, who was sitting, said, "I will sacrifice it to the Ancestral Temple."

This is what should be done, and naturally no one will have any objections.

But next is the most important reward. Everyone wants to see how the emperor will reward him.

"Huo Qubing has done a great job, and he should be promoted to the title of Marquis of Cheche." Li Yunze looked around with a smile on his lips. "He who personally charged into the formation and looked down at the direction is a brave champion of the three armies. He should be crowned the champion!"

The champion, the brave champion of the three armies.

This status was really raised too high. Everyone looked at each other but no one dared to speak out against it.

Those who harbored jealousy turned their attention to Wei Qing, who was number one in the army.

It's a pity that Wei Qing sat there peacefully, with no intention of standing out at all.

This was not over yet, Li Yunze's voice sounded again: "Give me a mansion, a reward of ten thousand gold, and an additional food town."

Having said this, Li Yunze paused, and then said, "Ten thousand households!"

Wanhuhou, this is the real Wanhuhou!
