My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 612 The sky is restless
On June 29, the Eastern Army Camp stationed in Harabitos became restless in the eyes of the working Samoans.

News reached the side hall of the palace, where the new emperor Adal lived, and heard the sudden movement of the Selis army. Before that, he had not received any message from Emperor Selis.

He hurriedly came out of the study, along with Budares, who was promoted to consul and supreme military commander. He hurried to see Emperor Selis, but the answer he received was that the Emperor of the East had already gone to the military camp outside the city.

The two men then rode out on horseback. Due to the problems with the city's structure, there was only one road leading directly to the gate of Harabitos from the palace. Along the way, the two men rode so fast that they made the streets full of pedestrians jumping.

Outside the city, less than three miles away, Salis cavalry could be seen flying everywhere.

Soon, the two men reined in their horses and stopped. Their vision spread out in front of them, and they saw a long line of troops walking out of the military camp and gathering in the field to form an array.

"Emperor Su of Selis, is he ready to go to war?"

Just as Adar was muttering, in the distance, a fast horse galloped towards the high-erected flag of Selis, and the desolate horn sounded under the fluttering white dragon flag.

呜

woohoo
In the huge camp, in the largest military tent, a figure wearing mountain pattern armor gently brushed the ring-shou knife in his hand, revealing a face with thick eyebrows and short beard.

He looked at the blade with some trance, and the short beard on his chin trembled slightly at the sound of the horn.

At a certain moment, the sharp blade swished back into its sheath. He stood up and walked out of the tent. The warm skylight shone on his face and he took a deep breath.

His name is Han Xin, and he was just a poor man many years ago. When others were struggling for food and clothing, he was like a knight-errant, carrying weapons and looking for opportunities to get ahead.

Because of his poverty, he was humiliated and treated like a beggar for alms. Even though he took refuge under Xiang Yu, who was an invincible hero at the time, he still could not be reused.

However, these are things in the past and no longer seem important now.

During this miserable time, he learned how to lead troops in battle and how to lead an extremely large army.

He became the famous King of Qi for a while. Even if he was later demoted and had his title reduced, he was still the feared Marquis of Huaiyin.

It is a pity that when he was thirty-seven years old, he never had the opportunity to command an army.

As he walked forward on the road rolled by wheels, he saw tents passing by on both sides of his sight. There were soldiers leading horses next to him. This man was called Wu Zixun, a regular servant of the martial arts. He was the man carrying the sword beside the emperor. At this moment He personally led the horse and gave him the reins.

Han Xin got on his horse and looked at the Qingqi guarding him. He took a deep breath and then exhaled.

"Come out of camp, general!"

In the wilderness outside the camp, Adal and Budares both came on horseback. They stationed their horses more than ten feet away from the Daxia Dragon Banner and saw Emperor Selis standing on a high platform from a distance.

They knew that this was not the time to pay tribute, so they got off their horses and approached slowly with a respectful attitude, until the soldiers stopped them on the high wooden platform.

Emperor Selis's voice rang out in the wind.

"My son is an elite man who has fought countless battles! Many of you must have questions in your mind as to why the emperor, who used to march forward bravely, stood still and huddled in the barbarian city."

"In the past, this was a secret and I couldn't tell you. But today, I have decided not to fight in a small way, but to fight a big war. Before that, I want to introduce someone to you and get to know you!"

Countless soldiers gathered in the field, and each army and camp stood silently. They originally thought that today the emperor would say some words to boost morale, and then allocate their troops to fight.

Everyone was almost ready, but the emperor wanted to recommend someone.

"who's that person?"

"Coming out of the emperor's imperial tent... I have never seen him before. Is it the person the emperor wants us to see?!"

"Who is this person?"

"He looks thin and weak, not like brave generals like General Lu, General Li, and General Guo."

"Come here, shut up!"

Tens of thousands of people gathered together, and even if many people spoke in low voices, it was still a buzzing noise. However, as the figure leaped out from the military camp on horseback, and the emperor on the high platform reached out to touch it, the stretched temporary military formation disappeared in an instant. Any sound.

There were only sparse trees around, and the annoying chirping of cicadas could be heard.

Han Xin came galloping on a maroon horse. He tightened the reins and said "haha" as he dismounted and slowly walked towards the high platform with a serious expression on his face, without any expression of stage fright.

In the sight of everyone, Han Xin walked up to the high platform with a solemn expression. Facing Su Chen who was approaching, he raised his hands calmly and bowed to the emperor.

"..." Su Chen silently returned the favor to Han Xin.

Then, he turned around and faced outside the high platform again, toward the dense crowd, and used his inner strength to agitate his voice, "The man next to me, his name is Han Xin, will replace me as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army. You are the most elite soldiers under my command, and you must not violate it." The new commander-in-chief, otherwise you will be disobeying my order, do you hear me clearly?"

"Here!"

Countless people shouted together, and the voices gathered together and shook the sky.

"Marquis Huaiyin, next, I will hand all these troops and horses into your hands."

Su Chen is not the kind of man who is coy and indecisive. If the emperor of the Han Dynasty could trust him back then, he can naturally do the same.

Here, Han Xin reached out and took the false ax, which symbolized royal power, and nodded solemnly. When Su Chen took a step back, he stepped forward without hesitation and stood on the edge of the high platform.

"Many of you have never heard of my name, Han Xin, but it doesn't matter. You will remember this name in your heart from now on, including the emperor of the barbarians here."

"For the Western Expedition, Your Majesty has given me the sword to lead the army. You have entrusted me with your life and death, and this battle. I believe that I will do my best, and I hope that you will work together with me!"

"Since the Western Expedition, we have won every victory. Even if we suffer defeats, we cannot shake the Western Expedition Army in the slightest.

This time I have been here for a long time, and the weapons in the hands of many soldiers have never been stained with the enemy's blood. It's not that Your Majesty doesn't want to fight, but that the enemy is not large enough for us to fight with all our strength.

However, today your Majesty pays homage to the general and entrusts me as commander. Now, my military orders will be conveyed to you. "

Han Xin slowly raised his arm and raised the false sword in his hand.

A black military formation filled the air. The eyes of these proud and brave generals were firm and fanatical. They raised their cold spears high and made uniform movements. The end of the spear hit the ground ferociously, splashing mud, and countless voices shouted. Make a thunder: "General, please give the order!"

"If you recognize me as your commander, I will lead your troops. If the barbarians from the west come, you and I will work together to destroy this world!"

"Here!" Countless people shouted almost simultaneously.

Han Xin held the false sword, raised his hands towards the countless soldiers below, and said: "Here!" In the vast wilderness, these fierce and rough soldiers, led by generals at all levels, returned to the military camp for final preparations.

The crowds of people moved around, and the dense cavalry slowly stepped forward with their iron hooves and began to turn. The hoofbeats gradually roared, the smoke and dust rose, and the iron pieces of the armor collided in the undulating movement.

"The feeling of commanding thousands of troops..." Han Xin stood on the high platform, his cloak flying behind him, and he watched the torrent passing below him with burning eyes.

"...It's really nostalgic."

The military orders for the upcoming battle have been carried by fast horses to each camp, and even to the Mongolian military camp further away. For two hours in a row, horns with the smell of war were blown in the sky.

The entire Harabitos, and even several miles or more than ten miles away, were in this frightening turmoil. The Samoans watched tremblingly as the Selis cavalry carrying the flag on their backs ran wildly on various roads.

In the military camp, Adal and Budares finally met Su Chen, the emperor of Selis.

One of them is the emperor, and the other is a consul or military commander. However, in such a battle, they have almost no say. They just respect their status. Two folding stools were added at the end of the tent for them to listen. Military discussion.

After the plaintiff's order was issued, Su Chen threw it into the brazier and burned it up. In the curling green smoke, Xiliang Army Guo Bin sat on the folding stool, holding the blade of the knife, stretched out his scarlet tongue, and gently licked the edge of the blade. The color flowed to the corner of his mouth, and then he spat on the ground with a sound. He tore off the corner of his robe, tied the handle of the knife in the palm of his hand and tightened it tightly with his teeth.

Then he was slapped by Dong Zhuo next to him.

"Don't be disgusted."

"Scare Emperor Satsuma and those officials." Guo Bang put down his sword and put it back into its sheath. No matter how hard Dong Zhuo slapped him, he felt it was intimate.

If it had been anyone else, he would have been struck by a knife.

Then, the curtain was opened, and Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang, and Le Jin of the Qingzhou Army came in one by one, followed closely by An Lushan, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De, who also came and sat down.

Su Chen, who was in the first place, glanced fiercely at the generals who came in and were sitting on both sides: "Marquis Huaiyin will come to preside over the military meeting later, and I will go to the side and listen."

"Haha, your Majesty will also be a general by then? Then I will be your deputy general!" An Lushan smiled and stuck his head out, and the other generals also followed suit.

"You think I didn't personally lead the troops to fight?"

Su Chen smiled. When he heard the footsteps approaching the tent from outside, he stood up and gave up the main seat of the long case, walked to a chair on the side and sat down.

At this time, the originally playful generals gradually stopped laughing and cursing. When Han Xin came in, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became solemn.

The sky was shining brightly, countless flags were flying, and the atmosphere in the tent became more intense.

Adal and Budares were also infected by the atmosphere. Even if they couldn't understand Selis, they couldn't help but straighten their backs.

Han Xin opened the curtain and came in, followed by Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, and Long Qie. Then he sat on the front seats on both sides and looked at Su Chen who was sitting next to him with some surprise.

However, Han Xin just glanced at the young emperor indifferently, walked behind the long case without any humility, put the fake festival ax on the table, and picked up the Emperor's Order Arrow.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army under the emperor's decree. I hope that all the generals here will not disobey the emperor's orders, otherwise the emperor's arrows will kill him. Don't blame Han Xin for being ruthless!"

The generals frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at Su Chen over there. The wind was whining outside and the tent was fluttering in the wind. Su Chen closed his eyes and listened to the sound of wind lingering in his ears.

But he didn't open his eyes.

At a certain moment, Han Xin, who had been sitting for a long time, placed the Emperor's Order Arrow next to the Jie Jie Yue, and then sat down.

"You must be confused. Shouldn't this battle be fought in the city of Barbarian? Why did you suddenly change your strategy and move eastward?"

There was no expression on Han Xin's face. He spoke slowly, his eyes sweeping over the unruly faces, and his voice became high-pitched: "That's because your Majesty wants to fight to determine the outcome, and I, Han Xin, will live up to your Majesty's wishes." Please, eat all Sakprut’s army while moving eastward!”

"The baggage on the southern front is gone, and only a few are still there. Only by pulling Sakprut's army to a level with us will this battle have a better chance of winning.

In the land of barbarians in the west, their soldiers are everywhere on this land, and there are many random barbarians to help them. They look very powerful, but once they are far away from their land, they are all a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered! "

At this time, Han Xin no longer had the previous attitude of attaching great importance to fame and power. Instead, his eyes showed the indifference of being in charge of thousands of troops.

His eyes gradually became ferocious, and he slowly pulled out the ring-headed knife from the sheath, and his voice suddenly rose up: "The Sakprut barbarians pride themselves on being ferocious beasts, but they forget that the hunters are the most ferocious."

"Everyone!"

The Huanshou sword was raised above his head, his voice was majestic and solemn.

"In the following wars, use the crossbows and swords in your hands to tell them that the hunters from the east will hang their furs on the wall as meritorious deeds!"

This kind of Han Xin is what the Chinese generals present here like to see.

"Here!"

In the tent, figures one after another stood up loudly, with excited and ferocious expressions on their faces, and they cupped their hands and drank together. The confused Adal and Budares also stood up and shouted awkwardly.

Over there, the cloak spread out, and Han Xin raised his hand and waved: "Send troops!"

The cavalry galloped, and the dragon flag waved.

……

On the second day of July, Guo Si led 12,000 Xiliang troops to attack northward and fought with a legion of Sakprut from Mirantl. He then pretended to be defeated and retreated quickly.

On the fourth day of the lunar month, Xiahou Yuan, one hundred and twenty miles away from the battlefield in the north, traveled a long distance and attacked several outposts in Sakprut on the border of Analia, and then fought with two Sakprut army of ten thousand people. Fake defeat again and return to Harabitos.

On the same day, the string-controlled wolf cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry also attacked in all directions, madly attacking the scouts sent by Sakprut. As the Sakprut legions surrounded on all sides approached rapidly, the two cavalry began to retreat.

On July 11, the northern city-state of Satsuma was captured one after another by the Mirantl Eagle Legion, and Harabitos was sent to the army. At the same time, the second legion of the Padinian Conquerors and the second legion of the Centaurs to the west and southwest also moved eastward to sweep through southern Qadira.

Nearly half a month later, the flames that were originally burning slowly suddenly exploded as if they were poured into kerosene, spreading in the three directions of Mirantel, Analia, and Padinya.

The entire encirclement will be completed.

Soon, however, news came of Harabitos.

The Salisians retreated across the board and broke out to the east.
