A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 327 God-given Hetao was conquered by powerful forces
Once Daqian's war machine is in operation, it will burst out with terrifying power.Ordnance, food and supplies were quickly transported to Xianyang.

Part of the [-]-strong army was drawn from other places, while the other part was directly drawn from the Beijing Camp and Habayashi Guards.

This time, Li Mu specifically requested that soldiers who had not yet made meritorious deeds should be recruited first.These soldiers have not made enough meritorious deeds, and the more they desire to make meritorious deeds.

After Wang Ke joined Li Mu, he went to the school grounds every day to do battle and personally participated in some military meetings and training.This increased Wang Ke's prestige in the army a lot. After all, no soldier dislikes a general who is willing to share joys and sorrows with them.

The [-]-strong army marched westward. Because of the presence of Chi Road, the army marched very quickly.This time the target was Hetao. Li Mu's goal was simple, which was to make a direct raid and then annihilate the Huns here.

During this season, the Huns are spreading a large number of livestock across the grasslands to store fat for the coming winter. Agricultural people can store food, but nomadic people cannot.

They not only have to collect a lot of hay during the winter, but also make their cattle and sheep as strong as possible.

The Huns were also very busy at this time. A large number of Huns were scattered across the grasslands and there was no time to recruit them.The Hetao area is a rare part-farming and half-grazing area. Li Mu will take the opportunity to drive the Huns out of the Hetao and then completely occupy this area.

The Hetao area is in the middle and upper part of the river basin "Ji", part of which is located on the south bank of the river and is called Henan.Because of the large river, the climate here is humid and the temperature is not too cold in winter. This has always been a treasure land.

As long as they occupy this area and then build a city here, and gather for five years, the land will be produced, and the horses will be cultivated, this will become the base for Daqian to attack the grasslands, and the Huns will no longer be able to threaten Daqian.

From here, Daqian could completely cross the Yinshan Mountains, attack the Huns in the north, and drive the Huns to the colder north.

Wang Luo, Xu Chao, Li Mu and others made careful plans and prospects, and planned to defeat and drive out the Huns.Without the Yinshan Mountains to protect them from the wind and snow, more Huns would freeze to death in winter.

After the army left the fortress, Li Mu immediately led his army to advance towards the Hetao area day and night.He wanted to raid the Loop before the news spread.

The military quality of the Huns is still very good. At the same time, Mao Dun is also an excellent commander. He also understands the importance of the Hetao.

Over the years, although Mao Dun did not lead his army south again because of the last disastrous defeat, his attention to Da Gan did not diminish at all.

Even Maodun has begun to learn the advantages of Daqian.Maodun reformed the military system and improved his ability to command the army. At the same time, he also obtained a large number of iron weapons from the Western Regions, which greatly improved the weapons and equipment of the Huns.

As the Huns' strength increased, it was difficult to rely on sneak attacks. Li Mu wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Huns had not completed their assembly, defeat them first, and then occupy the Hetao area.

After occupying the Hetao area, the army had a foothold here, and it would be difficult for the Huns to come back.

This time, in addition to the Tengjia Army, Yulin Guards, and light cavalry, Dagan also had 1 crossbowmen. These crossbowmen were also equipped with war horses.Although the [-]-strong army is not many, they are all elite.

Li Mu sent Meng Tian as the vanguard, leading an army of five thousand men.Then he personally led the main force, while the rear army protected the baggage and food.

Li Mu would not underestimate the enemy in every battle, and would also give generals opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, although Li Mu was strict in running the army, he was extremely loved by his soldiers.

Meng Tian was extremely talented and was valued by Li Mu in the army. This time Li Mu asked him to lead the army to attack, which also gave him a chance. As long as he made great achievements, he could be made a marquis.

Daqian's advance was so fast that the Huns had no time to react. A large number of Huns were still scattered on the grassland. These Huns directly became Meng Tian's prey.Meng Tian tried his best this time and gave the Huns an unforgettable memory.The army quickly galloped across the grassland and began to sweep away the Huns with the map in their hands.

Although the grassland is large, the Huns do not just run around casually. There are many rivers and lakes on the grassland, and the Huns basically live by the rivers and lakes.When Daqian's caravans came to trade, they recorded the rivers and lakes in various places.

At the same time, the areas where the Huns like to gather are marked. With these, the Huns have nowhere to hide.

Soon a scout brought back news about the Xiongnu tribe. Meng Tian raised his whip in his hand and laughed: "My sons, the Huns' tribe is not far away, and we will make great achievements today!"

"Fight!" everyone cheered.

For these soldiers who want to make meritorious deeds, there is no better news than this.

"Everyone wear armor and prepare to fight!" Meng Tian shouted, and the army immediately took off their armor, quickly put it on, got on their horses, and rushed towards the Huns' tribe.

After the army approached the Huns tribe, the army changed their horses, and then accelerated towards the Huns.

The rumble of horse hooves was like muffled thunder, and the Huns had no time to react.After hearing the muffled thunder, the Huns immediately reacted and shouted that the enemy was attacking. Everyone looked for horses to meet the enemy.

However, the speed of the galloping horses was so fast that the distance of three kilometers passed in an instant. The Huns had no time to gather, and Meng Tian had already led his army into the Huns' camp.

A large number of soldiers directly set fire to the Huns' camps, forcing the Huns to flee, and then pursued them one after another.

Arrows flew out one after another, killing the Huns, while the few Huns who had gathered were taken care of.

Dozens of heavy crossbowmen fired at the Huns, and the Huns' armor could not withstand them at all. Even if some Huns relied on their superb riding skills to escape, they were quickly surrounded and killed by the Yulin Guards who rushed forward.

The large army and horses marched on the joint camp, giving the Huns no chance to fight back. The soldiers of each department had a clear division of labor. Some kept setting fire to the camp, and some dealt with the Huns who resisted.

In just a moment, the Huns' camp turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The Huns' camp books were made of cow and sheep fur, specially coated with grease for waterproofing, which can be said to be a natural fire-starting material.As long as it is ignited, it will turn into a raging sea of ​​fire within a breath.

The army quickly routed the Huns, then passed through the camp, then turned their horses and charged the camp again.

After just one repeated attack, the Huns were littered with corpses. The remaining Huns were completely frightened. Everyone had a look of horror on their faces. The crossbowmen on the other side quickly formed a formation and kept shooting in an attempt to escape. of the Huns.

A camp with thousands of people was completely destroyed in less than half an hour.
