Editing of the ten loyal ministers and the emperors standing up

Chapter 80 On that day, the Huns finally remembered the fear of being dominated by Huo Qubing

In order to get rid of the burden of the army, Huo Qubing ordered the injured soldiers to take the rescued Han people and go straight to the direction of the Han Dynasty!

As for himself, he continued to march towards the Huns' camp with the main force!
Huo Qubing held the spear tightly, and took one last longing look at his wounded and the miserable common people, his eyes rosy!
"The wounded and soldiers who cannot travel long distances stayed behind to take care of the Han people."

"Everyone else, please mount your horse."

Brush brush! ! !
All the soldiers got on their horses and waited for Huo Qubing's next order with serious expressions on their faces.

Some skinny Han people were also rescued. After being taken away by the Xiongnu,

The women among them were reduced to the reproductive machines of the Huns, while the men did the dirtiest and most tiring work!
Originally they thought this would be the end of their lives, but they never expected that they would see the Han army and kill the Huns to a rout!
Looking at the direction in which Huo Qubing was retreating, the Han captives knelt down one after another and said with great gratitude:
"Thank you, general, thank you, big man!"

"The great Han will be victorious, and the general will be victorious!"

"Okay, okay! Old man, I just want to watch the Huns and taste our bitter pill!"

An old man clutched the wooden stick tightly. His whole family was killed by the Huns.

The only wish in this life is that the Han Dynasty can avenge him, but he didn't expect that the imperial court would actually send troops!
"For decades, we are the only Han army that has fought here. We are isolated and helpless, and we are attacked from both sides.

But we are the Han cavalry, and there are too many of my Han's abducted people waiting for us.

They are waiting for the Han army to rescue them. They are waiting for a hearty victory! "

It's time to give these Huns some color and let them know what the Han cavalry is and what the emperor's army is! "

"Let the world know that the Han army is coming, don't move, otherwise the country will be destroyed!"

"The whole army has it!"

Huo Qubing said coldly, and the sound swept everyone's ears!

In an instant, the burly soldier, bathed in blood, had a solemn expression on his face and his body stood straight.

"Except for carrying two days' worth of military rations, drinking water and necessary fodder, there is no need for any other baggage. Just ride forward!"

"Along the Hunu River, pointing directly to Yanzhi Mountain, all the Xiongnu tribes along the way will be swept away. We can't stop fighting!"

"I, Huo Qubing, swear here that in this battle I will not break Yanzhi Mountain, kill the Huns on their backs, and the army will never return to the court!"

"Go on!"

Huo Qubing's voice, filled with murderous intent, suddenly swept across the sky!

He mounted the red war horse and took the lead, galloping along the Hunu River.

Brush brush!
The Han army lost less than a hundred men in this battle. Huo Qubing was very satisfied and ordered Zhao Ponu's front army to change his rear army. He packed up his weapons, especially arrows, and continued to use those that were not damaged.

The Chupu tribe was controlled by the Xiutu tribe. According to common sense, Huo Qubing's next step should be to have a decisive battle with King Xiutu.

The city of King Xiutu was built on the Shiyang River (Hunu River).
The city is 400 meters long from north to south and 200 meters long from east to west. It has two layers: inside and outside.

The Huns were not good at building cities, so this city was built by the Yuezhi people.

However, Huo Qubing's army did not attack King Xiutu City along the route of Gulang River, Hongshui River, and Shiyang River. Instead, they moved westward close to the Qilian Mountains and came to the Zashui River Basin.

Zashui River is a tributary of Shiyang River, and the Qiemo tribe rules here.

When the Xiongnu went south, the Qiemo people followed the Yuezhi people and moved to the Western Regions, finding a place to live at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains and the Altyn Mountains.

However, some Qiemo people stayed and surrendered to the Xiongnu, occupying the Zashui River Valley.

Qiemo was originally a large tribe, and tens of thousands of people moved to the Western Regions. Due to the long distance and harsh environment, only a few thousand people settled down, and they were called Qiemo of the Western Regions.

The number of Qiemo who stayed was only about [-], and they were called Hexi Qiemo. If the Xiongnu wars had not continued,
The Qiemo tribe in Hexi contributed unreservedly, and I am afraid that they would have lost their reputation and integrated into the Huns.

Although the Qiemo tribe in Hexi survived, they were actually miserable. All the strong soldiers and horses were transferred to the Xiutu tribe, leaving behind less than [-] old, weak, sick, women and children.

When the Qiemo tribe in Hexi saw the Han army, they didn't even need the clan leader's orders and just ran away.

Unfortunately, they could not run fast, and most of them became the number in the Han army's merit book.

While talking and laughing, the Han army once again wiped out a large tribe!
Huo Qubing continued westward along the Qilian Mountains. The Khotan tribe heard the news and fled up to Lenglong Ridge.The Dangtian tribe is a branch of the Qiang tribe. It is not weak in strength and is on the same level as the Dunpu tribe.

The Qiang people would not fight to the death for the Huns, so they avoided the Han army.

Going further west, a group of tough cavalry blocked the way. It turned out that they were massacrers.

The relationship between the Xiutu tribe and the Tuge tribe is equivalent to the relationship between the Shanyu tribe and King Zuoxian.

King Xiutu often sent a prince to lead a tribe to guard several sources in the upper reaches of the Shiyang River. When King Xiutu died, the prince would support his troops and become king.

Tuge is the name of Prince Xiutu, and the tribe is named after the prince.

There were about [-] tribesmen in each tribe, and they controlled [-] cavalry.

However, in the early spring, Tu Ge only gathered more than a thousand men to fight. He found that the Han army was powerful and lost more than a dozen riding posts.

So he retreated to Xiutu Wangcheng, trying to lure the Han army to the vicinity of the royal city, and surrounded and annihilated the Han army with his father.

When Huo Qubing's army arrived at Shiyang River, they did not go north along the river to find King Xiutu for a decisive battle. Instead, they crossed the river and headed west.

After passing Yanzhi Mountain, the nearby tribes such as Zhelan and Luhou hid far away in advance.

The Han army continued down the Qiang Valley River, one of the upper sources of this weak water, and entered the sphere of influence of the Hunxie tribe.

The Hunxie Department was obviously shocked by this sudden situation, and the cavalry guard was at a loss.

If the Han army did not completely defeat the Xiutu tribe, how could they dare to go deep into Hunxie's territory alone?
Huo Qubing marched like this, not entirely because he was betting that the opponent's position was not stable.

Most of Huo Qubing's early soldiers were descended from the Xiongnu. They were familiar with the terrain and the habits of the Xiongnu. Such a bold march was carefully calculated.

As the most powerful tribe in the west of the Hexi Corridor, the Hunxie tribe has a royal city called Zhaowu City, located on the west bank of the Qianggu River. It was also built by the Yuezhi people. The city walls are not high and there is no moat.

King Hunxie led more than [-] cavalry out of the city to cruise, and ordered Prince Su to lead more than [-] people to defend the city, intending to withstand the Han army's attack first and then wait for reinforcements from all directions.

It is estimated that in just three to five days, the [-] horsemen under King Hunxie will gather at the city.

Within ten days, [-] to [-] horsemen from the Hunxie tribe's sphere of influence will come to help, and by then the Han army will be unable to fly.

Hunxie Prince Su stood at the top of the city and saw the Han army wearing helmets and armor, with swords and halberds like a forest, and was horrified for a moment.

Just listen to a voice that cracks rocks and penetrates clouds:
"Siege!"

The Han army fired tens of thousands of crossbows and suppressed the Hunxie garrison inside the city to avoid the rain of arrows. At the same time, a pair of pioneers had already climbed to the top of the city.

The walls of Zhaowu City can only protect against cavalry raids, while infantry can climb into the city by stepping on the shoulders of their companions.

Except for the facial features, the Han army's armor was invulnerable. How could the Hunxie defenders be their opponents?
This is an unequal street fight. Even if the Hunxie people escape from the city, they will die.

The Han army was attacking the city. Suddenly there was a loud shout from behind the formation, and dust and sand were flying. It turned out to be King Hunxie's army and horse attacking.

More than 2000 cavalrymen sneaked nearby and killed several Han army cavalry sentries before being discovered. They were indeed brave and good at fighting.

In the smoke and dust, Hunxie cavalry, either naked or wearing animal skins, charged towards them on horseback, firing their bows and arrows.

Of course, the Han army had already taken precautions. The rear team first used strong crossbows to shoot at the base of the formation, and then set up an iron barrel formation.

King Hunxie left behind dozens of corpses, and the rescue operation failed. The Hunxie people still lost because of their equipment.

The Han army lost dozens of people in this battle, captured Hunxie Prince Su, Xiangguo, Duwei, etc., and beheaded and captured more than a thousand people.

From the destruction of the Tupu tribe to the mopping up of the three tribes of Qiemo, Dangtian and Tu,
It only took six days for Huo Qubing to defeat the Hunxie King.

The five kingdoms were defeated in six days, and Hu Chen was shocked thousands of miles away.

When the news came, everyone was shocked!
In the bleak desert, Huo Qubing wiped the blood from the tip of his spear. His expression was resolute and natural, calm and calm.

It shows the demeanor and strategizing of a general who has experienced hundreds of battles and is not afraid of danger, and has the confidence to win a victory thousands of miles away.
