A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 329

Li Mumengtian destroyed Qilian Chanyu in one battle, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, taking more than 1 prisoners, and thousands of people who fled.

This battle was a great victory with very few casualties. Li Mu sent people to send the battle report to Luoyang. Meng Tian made the first contribution in this battle. Each of his 5000 men made a great contribution.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mu did not stop. On the battlefield, the fighter planes were fleeting. After sending an envoy to deliver the battle report, he immediately planned to attack the next target.

Li Mu's second target was King Loufan, who and Qilian Shanyu controlled the Hetao.Although Qilian Shanyu was defeated in one battle, Li Mu was not careless at all. He attacked the Huns from the north. If he were not careful, he would lose everything, and this battle out of the fortress would be completely ruined.

In the tent, Li Mu was discussing the battle plan. A general next to him said: "General, although the Qilian Chanyu was annihilated in this battle, the news has spread. In addition, our army's rapid march, although it was a great victory, it will not be defeated." The soldiers are tired, and I am afraid that if we continue to march hastily to attack the tower, the king will be left waiting for work."

"No, as the general said, troops are valuable and quick. The Huns have received the news and are gathering quickly. If they slow down their march, by the time the army arrives, the Huns will have already assembled. By that time, it will be difficult to defeat the Huns. We must fight decisively before they gather together!" Meng Tian stepped forward and said.

Li Mu had fought with the Huns for so many years, and knew the temper of the Huns. At the same time, he was more confident in his soldiers. He immediately said: "Pass the general's order, the army will be dispatched, and attack King Loufan as quickly as possible!"

Li Mu's army moved very fast, and with the guidance of secret guards, the army quickly approached the Loufan King tribe.

When King Loufan learned that Qilian Shanyu had been captured, he immediately sent people to contact his tribesmen to assemble, and at the same time sent troops to ask for help from other Huns kings.

The Hetao area is different from other places of the Huns. Because the Yinshan Mountains block the cold current from the north, the temperature in the Hetao is much higher than other places. This is where the Huns escape from the cold winter. The Huns will not give up unless it is a last resort.

Therefore, even if he knew that Qian Guo sent troops to attack, he would not escape, but would instead gather his troops to fight against him.

If it were in other places, Li Mu would not take such a risk, but here in Hetao, he knew that the Huns would not escape.

The Huns were very mobile and had always relied on the mobility of their cavalry in battles with Da Gan, cutting off Da Gan's food routes and slowly trapping Gan's army. On the vast grasslands, it was simply too easy to do this.

It can be said that the Huns are invincible.

At the same time, King Loufan of the Xiongnu was shocked when he got the news.

"Qilian Shanyu was defeated and captured? What happened? Does Ganren have the strength?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, some of Qilian Shanyu's men escaped and warned us. Qilian Shanyu's entire army was wiped out." said the guard on the side.

"The entire army was wiped out?" King Lou Fan looked in disbelief.

"Qian's army is not weak. Qilian Shanyu can escape even if he cannot defeat him. How come the whole army was wiped out?"

"Your Majesty, it was the Ganren cavalry who attacked Qilian Shanyu. These Ganren cavalry came and went like the wind and were well-armed and well-equipped. Qilian Shanyu was no match. By the time he tried to escape, it was already too late and he was surrounded by the Ganren army. .”

"This is our strategy!" King Lou Fan looked ugly.

"Call the army immediately and ask them to come and join together! At the same time, ask other Huns for help!"

King Loufan's reaction speed was very fast, but he was still slow in facing Qian Guo's surprise attack. It shouldn't be said that it was too slow.Sending an envoy and then having the envoy bring back reinforcements takes too much time.The word "surprise" means "quick". To put it another way, it means "blitzkrieg".

The attack is a surprise and does not give you any time to adjust, summon the army, or deploy your generals.

Even if the land of Zhuxia is protected by a city, it is very difficult to defend against a blitzkrieg. If you are not careful, the city will be stolen. The Huns cannot build cities, let alone defend the city. In the face of Dagan's rapid raid, if If you can't keep up with the speed, you will lose everything.

Before you could react, the army was already in front of you and directly attacked your home. By the time you came back with reinforcements, the army had already left with the loot, leaving you with only a messy white land.

Even more ruthlessly, they will ambush you on your way back and catch you all together with the reinforcements.

Li Mu's army moved forward quickly. The elite cavalry consisted of one person and five horses, and they abandoned most of their baggage. The speed was not comparable to the marching speed of the previous Daqian army.

Even though King Lou Fan was mentally prepared, he greatly underestimated the marching speed of Li Mu's army.He never expected that Li Mu would be so quick, so bold and desperate.

King Lou Fan still recruited the army at his own pace, but sent some additional scouts to patrol. As King Lou Fan issued the order, a large number of King Lou Fan's tribe began to gather here. Soon King Lou Fan gathered more than 5 people. Thousands of people.

But at this time, Li Mu's army also arrived.Li Mu led his army to gallop through the starry night. This kind of night march was extremely bold. As long as there was a slight mistake, it would deviate from the direction. If there was no food and logistics, everything would be lost.

Li Mu dared to be so bold because he still had secret guards and a compass.The Mohists invented many things, and the compass was one of them, which could point out the direction. In addition, the secret guards sent to lead the way had learned the stars, and this allowed Li Mu to dare to give it a try.

The sudden appearance of the Qianguo army shocked the Huns. More importantly, as soon as the Qianguo army appeared, they launched an attack on King Loufan.

The elite cavalry under Li Mu have been stimulated by Meng Tian. In the previous battle, Meng Tian defeated three Xiongnu tribes in a row, and then defeated the Qilian Chanyu in the first battle and captured the Chanyu alive. In this battle, the title of marquis is certain, and those who follow him in the battle are also human beings. People are rewarded.

The remaining people were jealous, and they all eagerly made meritorious deeds. Now that they saw King Lou Fan, the army poured down like a flood.

The grassland seems flat from a distance, but there are also many ups and downs. The Daqian cavalry is on a gentle slope and charges extremely fast.

"Where did this group of Ganren cavalry come from?" King Lou Fan asked in horror.

"Quick, meet the enemy! Meet the enemy!"

But it was useless. As the most suitable battlefield for cavalry, even if you saw the cavalry charging from a distance, and then reported the news and assembled the army, there was not enough time.

What's more, it's still dawn, when people are most sleepy.

Countless large cavalrymen rushed out, and the Huns had no time to put on their armor. Countless tents were set on fire, and they were chopped open with horizontal knives, killing the Huns like melons and vegetables.

A large number of Huns were killed in their sleep, and the entire camp was directly overwhelmed by the Dagan cavalry.The Huns cried and fled in all directions, without changing direction in the dark night. A large number of Huns trampled on each other and died.

No matter how much Lou Fan Wang called, it had no effect. Even because of his conspicuous behavior of raising fire and shouting for command, he was quickly discovered by Qian's army, and was finally directly surrounded and captured by the army.
