I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 467: Prepare the big yellow crossbow for me!

"Speed ​​up the march!"

Although the wind in the desert was strong, Wu Shilu, who was leading the army in a hurry, felt like a spring breeze.

This was the first time that he personally led his troops in a formal battle with the Han Dynasty, apart from his daily harassment.

What's more, the enemy's main general is the eldest prince of the Han Dynasty, and he was the crown prince of the Han Dynasty before coming to the Western Regions. This has an even more different meaning.

He is determined to win this battle.

What made him even happier was that everything was currently developing according to his plan.

Now that his pants have been taken off, all that is left is the final blow. He must fight to establish his authority and make those old guys and Hun subjects who always criticize him shut up completely.

How would they know.

The person Wu Shilu most wanted to be was actually his ancestor Maodun Chanyu, who once trapped Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, on Mount Baideng.

Back then, Maodun Chanyu Mingdi killed his father to ascend the throne, and then he conquered the east and expanded the west, making the Donghu and the Western Regions all submit to the iron hoof of the Xiongnu.

Later, when Liu Bang, who had been besieged by Maodun Chanyu, died, he personally wrote a letter to tease Liu Bang's widow, Empress Lü.

Even so, the Han Dynasty did not dare to kill the Huns' envoys, let alone send troops to attack the Huns.

This is the Huns that Wu Shilu wanted to achieve.

Although he liked to kill and murder people, didn't Maodun Chanyu also kill many people? He even killed his beloved horse and wife when he was training his troops with whistling arrows, not to mention the later patricide.

Wu Shilu had no intention of killing his father because his father did not restrict him.

However, many of his previous actions were intended to imitate Maodun Chanyu.

What's wrong with killing people?
As long as the goal can be achieved, the Xiongnu can be led to become strong, the countries around the Xiongnu, big and small, can be made to surrender, and the Han Dynasty can be forced to marry princesses from time to time and pay tribute every year, nothing will be a problem.

Don’t they understand the principle that the winners are kings and the losers are bandits?

Because as long as the light is bright enough, people will not see the darkness behind the bright light, and all that will be left is praise and praise...

"My king, the spies ahead reported that they have seen the camp of the Han Dynasty prince's garrison, which is about twenty miles away from here."

A trusted confidant rode up to Wu Shilu, who was riding his horse, and reported loudly in the whistling wind:
"The Han army built a temporary camp with chariots as fortifications. Our spies did not dare to get too close to avoid alerting the enemy, so they could not see the situation inside the camp clearly. However, judging from the idle state of the soldiers patrolling outside the Han army camp, they must have known nothing about this surprise attack."

"Okay! Very good! Go!"

Wu Shilu raised his whip and whipped it twice, shouting "good job!"
"Pass the order down. Don't kill the Han Dynasty prince. I want to capture him alive!"

"If anyone dares to take his life, no matter who it is, I will make sure his entire family pays with their lives!"

"But if someone captures the prince of the Han Dynasty, I will give him the first merit and make him a marquis and a general. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The confidant responded and hurried down to pass the order to each department.

Wu Shilu became more and more proud at this moment. He seemed to have seen Liu Ju kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy.

He wanted to strip Liu Ju of all his clothes, and make him crawl on the ground naked, covered with sheepskin.

He was like a shepherd, driving Liu Ju to patrol the Xiongnu Dragon City, so that the Xiongnu subjects could see that the princes of the Han Dynasty were nothing but lowly animals in front of him.

In his eyes, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was nothing more than a stud sheep.

In this way, he wanted to tell all the Huns that only he could turn the tide when the Huns were in danger, only he could save the Huns, and all the Huns should obey his orders.

Anyone who dared to criticize him would be the enemy of the Huns, and he would pull out the enemy's tongue in public!
……at the same time.

"Your Highness, in the northeast of the camp, several red sky lanterns have been raised from the secret sentry post five miles away."

Guo Zhenchong went into the tent to report to Liu Ju.
"This is a signal that the enemy is attacking. The presence of many red sky lanterns indicates that the enemy is numerous. Your Highness, please prepare to meet the enemy as soon as possible!"

"Ah."

Liu Ju just nodded slightly when he heard this, then glanced at Zhao Po Nu and other generals sitting in the tent.
"Generals, this time it's up to you. Order the shield soldiers, halberd soldiers, and crossbow soldiers to prepare in advance. This time we must let the Xiongnu know why the flowers are so red."

"As for General Zhao, your two thousand cavalrymen should remain stationary for now."

"When the enemy is defeated by the rain of arrows, immediately lead your men to chase them out. At first, only chase them five miles away and kill as many as you can. Remember to stop when you are ahead."

"promise!"

The two quickly stood up and responded.

It is hard to say how many Hun troops have arrived yet, but everything is within Liu Ju's expectations, and he has made sufficient preparations, so they naturally have nothing to panic about.

But the Huns themselves need to pay attention to this.

It was originally a surprise attack by them, but it turned into a sudden and strong counterattack by the Han army. Naturally, the party that was caught off guard became the Huns, and those with weak hearts might easily die suddenly.

"Your Highness, do you want to light a beacon to notify the general?"

Zhao Po Nu asked another question.

This time, Liu Ju's army also carried supplies for setting off beacons. This thing has a much larger target than a sky lantern. Once it is lit, Wei Qing will know what to do.

"There's no rush yet."

Liu Ju shook his head.
"Since we are fishing, we should wait until the fish has bitten the hook to death before setting up the scoop net. Otherwise, once the scoop net enters the water, it will startle the fish and the hook will easily fall off... What I hate most in my life is the air force."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other.

It is another obscure word that makes people half understand and half don't understand, especially the "air force". Although it sounds like it should mean that no fish was caught, why is it said as air force?
"By the way, remember to set up the big yellow crossbow I asked for. I can't just teach the brothers to shoot as much as they want. I want to shoot a few too."

Liu Ju thought about it and reminded the captain of Nu Zhangying.

"Your Highness, this crossbow is extremely powerful. If I want to operate it, I still need the assistance of four soldiers. Your Highness is in a delicate state, so it is better not to operate it. If you get hurt, it will be difficult for me to explain to His Majesty and the general when I return..."

The captain of the Nuzhang Camp said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"The war is imminent. General Zhao is the commander-in-chief and I am the guard. You only need to report to the two of us and don't need to worry about anything else."

Liu Ju smiled indifferently.

He stood up and picked up a four-stone waist-drawn crossbow placed in the tent. Without hanging the waist buckle to connect the crossbow string, he just pulled it open with his two hands and easily stringed it.

"?!"

Zhao Po Nu and a group of captains suddenly widened their eyes.

Oh my god, what kind of innate power is this? Why have I never heard of it before?!

This prince usually keeps a low profile, but I never expected him to be so secretive. I really couldn't tell...

Speaking of which, just relying on this divine power.

How many of us can he beat?
