Han Xin didn't know that his cheap master actually thought this way, otherwise he would definitely stop him.

That’s an army of 100,000. 100,000 pigs are not that easy to kill.

"General, urgent news from Yumen Pass." Suddenly the personal guard whispered in Luo Bing's ear.

Luo Bing frowned slightly, then stood up and glanced at Han Xin.

"Do your best. There is urgent news from Yumen Pass. I must leave."

Luo Bing explained, then walked out of the room with his personal guards. The other personal guards had already brought the war horses over.

Han Xin looked at Luo Bing who had climbed onto his horse, bowed and watched him leave.

"An urgent report has been sent back from the front line. For unknown reasons, King Xiutu's army withdrew from Jiuquan and was taken over by the army sent by King Hunxie. King Xiutu's headquarters completely retreated to Wuwei." The personal guards spoke as they walked.

The unusual mobilization of the Xiongnu army forced Luo Bing to rush back to Yumen Pass to take charge.

When Luo Bing returned to Yumen Pass, he found that the entire simple city gate was full of laughter and joy.

This has never happened since the Huns sent troops.

Without even having to return to the commander-in-chief's mansion, they had already heard an exciting piece of news from the soldiers.

"Your Majesty has sent out troops. King Xiutu and King Hunxie are about to die."

"The Lord has not given up on us. He has really sent troops."

"The whole country is calling for conscription. Your Majesty is personally leading the army, sending 500,000 soldiers to attack the tribes of King Xiutu and King Hunxie."

……

The soldiers were filled with joy all along the way.

From the very beginning, they actually knew that Bingzhou was too far away and they would most likely not send troops to rescue.

Even if the king does not abandon them, the distance is so far that by the time the king leads his troops to arrive, they will have already been buried in the sea of ​​sand.

But who could have thought that they withstood the Huns' offensive and that the king actually sent troops to rescue them.

Especially when the messenger who came to convey the message said that when the court made the decision, everyone was persuading the emperor to give up the rescue, but the emperor insisted on sending troops to rescue against all odds, the entire six thousand blood knights could not help but burst into tears.

Others worry about getting into trouble in the future, but they are already in trouble.

No one knew better than them how shocked and moved they were that their Lord was unwilling to give up on them in this situation.

What does it mean to sacrifice your life and blood for such a monarch and country?

"Five hundred thousand troops?" Luo Bing was shocked when he heard the report from the messenger who came to Yumen Pass first after running all the way, tiring several horses to death, and then climbing over the steep cliffs of Qilian Mountains.

He knew very well how many troops Bingzhou had, so unless all the men, women, and children in Bingzhou were mobilized, it would be impossible to have an army of 500,000.

As a herald, it is impossible to falsely report this number.

"Your Majesty, does your Majesty have any other orders or combat plans that require my cooperation?" Luo Bing continued to ask.

"No, the Lord said that the strategic mistake was the fault of Bingzhou and the Lord. The generals and soldiers should not bear any other responsibility for it. So, all you need to do is to protect yourself and keep your lives. The Lord will come in person and take you home!"

The herald continued.

Luo Bing's eyes suddenly became red. As the Imperial Physician Commander, he knew better that Bingzhou would most likely not come to rescue, or they would just pretend to send troops, and then withdraw after they were completely wiped out.

Luo Bing didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

This is what Bingzhou should do, and it is also the approach that best suits Bingzhou’s interests.

Therefore, he never expected Bingzhou to come to his rescue, and everything he said was just to deceive his subordinates. However, who could have thought that Bingzhou would actually mobilize the whole country to send troops to rescue him.

In order to save their 6,000 people, he also gave up Tanlin, Linhu, and even Loufan and Beiye Royal Court that he had already obtained.

"Your Majesty should not have come. For us, he gave up Danlin, Linhu and even Loufan. It is really not worth it!" Luo Bing said with red eyes.

"General, you are wrong. As long as we are alive, we can take back the territory at any time!" The herald suddenly retorted.

Luo Bing was stunned, looked at the messenger, and nodded heavily.

He didn't know how many heralds there were, but this was the first one to arrive. Although he had washed, he still had hideous wounds on his hands, face, and other invisible parts of his body. One can imagine how difficult his journey had been.

However, no matter how difficult the road was, the other party's eyes were full of light, which was the infinite hope and recognition for Bingzhou.

"Thank you for coming here from a thousand miles away." Luo Bing didn't know how to express his respect, so he could only bow deeply.

"Saving the lives of the soldiers is the most important thing right now. The king has already led the army here, and there is no need for the soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices."

The herald also knew the difficulties that the 6,000 Blood Knights had faced during this period, but even under such circumstances, they had managed to recapture Dunhuang and push the battle line back to the city of Jiuquan.

Therefore, he did not want these warriors to suffer more casualties while the army was on the way.

Luo Bing nodded. The army was already arriving. There was no need for them to suffer any unnecessary casualties before the army arrived.

However, there was no way he would agree to let King Xiutu and King Hunxie go.

Those dead soldiers would not agree.

Now he will hold his ground and wait for help, but once the army arrives, he will repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge, and no one will be able to escape.

But the herald didn't know the army's current marching speed.

When he came out, Bingzhou had just issued a conscription order.

Their mission was to inform Luo Bing and the six thousand blood cavalry to stay safe and wait for the army to come to their rescue.

But no one expected that Luo Bing, as he was recognized as a famous general, could actually withstand the attack of the Hun army of 100,000 with only 6,000 men.

"Repair the fortifications!"

However, Luo Bing did not slack off at all.

Once the army arrived, they would block the retreat routes of King Xiutu and King Hunxie.

By that time, the intensity of the war will reach its maximum.

Now King Xiutu and King Hunxie are unwilling to suffer heavy losses in the battle, so they can hold on.

But once the retreat route is cut off, King Xiutu and King Hunxie will definitely attack Yumen Pass at all costs.

Although the messenger did not bring any new military orders or other intelligence, the fact that the army was heading out to war was the most useful information.

They were able to set up defensive fortifications along the corridor from Jiuquan to Dunhuang before King Xiutu and King Hunxie knew about it.

There is enough time to repair it and slow down the Huns' attack.

This information can minimize the losses.

Therefore, even though they knew that the army was about to arrive, Luo Bing and the six thousand blood cavalry did not slack off at all.

As veterans of hundreds of battles, they knew very well that this was their last carnival and the calm before the storm.

There was no need for Luo Bing to urge them. After the revelry, all the soldiers quickly re-engaged in the new defense.
