Great Han Empire

Chapter 20 Rising Sun
The sky above Jutun was filled with the sound of horns and horns one after another.Long, short, hasty, melodious, low, high, all kinds of voices are intertwined, revealing the tension and busyness before the war.

A dense cavalry team began to appear on the hill to the southeast of Jutun, and they marched nervously and orderly through the tall and dense woods.From a distance, it looks like bugs wriggling under the green leaves, more like the green grass on the prairie being blown by a gust of wind, causing waves to spread around.

Murong Feng's army finally appeared on the horizon.The tall and fiery red flag is fluttering in the wind, surrounded by countless colorful flags.Immediately, a long troop of giant cavalry slowly walked out from the sky.

Iron Wolf, Gongsun Hu, and Duan Song looked solemn. The three looked at the inconspicuous hill in the distance at the same time from different positions.What method did Que Ju use to hide so many troops here without being noticed?They ignored it, and the scouts ignored it.Murong Feng is right, human beings make mistakes.Scouts are ordinary soldiers, they are not commanders on the battlefield, and it is impossible to scout everything in detail.In the area where the enemy is concentrated, no one has the ability to go inside the enemy army to find out the enemy's situation.But the ideological neglect of the commanders will lead them to intuit that this area is safe.The results were disastrous.Then they heard the familiar but very distant sound of drums.

"It's Master Feng Lie from the Tauren Tribe."

Iron Wolf and Gongsun Hu are very familiar with the sound of this drum.They once charged to the beat of the drum.Master Feng Crack is a loyal friend of the Marshal.

The two suddenly became ecstatic in their hearts, the Marshal and Master Feng Lie joined hands, how many opponents are there in this Xianbei world?

Murong Feng was in great pain.From a distance, he heard the unique sound of cowhide drums from the Tauren tribe.Among the Xianbei people, only the Niutou tribe uses horns and drums to command at the same time.Because Feng Crack likes it.He learned it in the process of fighting the Han people.Feng Lie is intelligent and smart.King Tan Shihuai praised him in public more than once.He is one of the few people Murong Feng has considered a confidant in his life.They are good friends.

Murong Feng didn't know why Feng Lie betrayed him?He couldn't find a reason.Although he told Li Hong that Feng Lie and Que Ju were relatives, he understood that he was deceiving himself.The wind cracks the arrogance.This is the fundamental reason why Feng Lie cannot gain the trust of Tan Shihuai.After Tan Shihuai defeated the Xiongnu, there was a fierce conflict with Feng Lie over whether to attack the Dingling tribe in the north.Feng Lie was full of arrogance, he didn't pull Tan Shihuai at all, and even spoke rudely.Tan Shihuai became angry and drove him back to the Niutou tribe more than 2000 miles away, vowing that he would never use it.But Tan Shihuai was wrong.The first attack on the Dingling family was defeated.Although later, under the careful planning of Murongfeng, Luozhi and Luoluo, they defeated the Dingling tribe for the second time, but this was a very useless thing in Tan Shihuai's life.Both of them are arrogant people, so they forged a deep hatred.

Thinking of the good friend who used to gallop with him on the battlefield, but now he has become an opponent, he can't help feeling sad.Just three days ago, he still considered Feng Lie to be his lifelong good friend.If Leopard hadn't casually revealed the loopholes of their conspirators, allowing him to deduce Feng Lie's betrayal from it, he would have suffered the fate of the Benniu Plain for the second time: his subordinates suddenly betrayed, turned against him, and the entire army The army was wiped out.

The cavalry on the hill rushed to the foot of the hill like a tidal wave.

Feng Lie rode on the horse and ordered the trumpeter loudly: "Blow all the horns and tell him that my good friend Feng Lie is here."

Murong Feng looked at the army of the Niutou tribe two miles away, and listened to the message they sent, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.Good friend.He sighed from the heart.

"Marshal..." Li Hong suddenly shouted in his ear, "Every department is waiting for your order!"

Murong Feng stabilized his mood, looking at the young man in front of him who was full of vigor, a trace of warmth surged in his heart.It was the unintentional words of this idiot that saved himself and thousands of soldiers who followed him.

Murong Feng pointed to the commander-in-chief and said to Li Hong: "Hold it." Li Hong didn't know what the commander-in-chief was going to do, but he still resolutely took over the banner from the bannerman.

Murong Feng turned his head and gave an order to the messenger: "Immediately inform Tie Ao and Hou Li, the two generals, that Feng Lie is the enemy. It is possible that Helian's troops will rush from the direction of Bark Creek, and tell them to rely on Jutun's troops." Set up the formation in the south. Even if my handsome flag falls, don’t send a single soldier to support.”

The messenger saluted, beat the horse, and left in the dust.

Murong Feng then ordered the horn soldiers: "Tell Iron Wolf, Gongsun Hu, tell them to persevere."

Pointing to the three messengers, he said, "Go and find Iron Wolf or any of them, and tell them that Feng Lie is the enemy and there is no reinforcements to help him. Let them hold back the Changlu tribe's army. Even if all of them If you die in battle, don't let the Changlu tribe's soldiers enter the battlefield in the southwest."

The three soldiers saluted, each of them lashed their horses with their whips, and rushed towards the Northwest battlefield like three arrows shot out.

"Leopard, raise the banner high, follow me." Murong Feng lashed his horse with a whip, and rode out, along with the cavalry lined up in column, and ran towards the left flank of the army.Li Hong raised the banner high and followed closely behind him.

Xiaoshuai Qinyou from the Dead Mountain Tribe, and Feiji Xiaoshuai from the Sumu Tribe stood at the front of the left wing of the army, facing Murong Feng who was running over, saluted and shouted, "Marshal."

"Feng Lie of the Niutou tribe has betrayed. The decisive battle will begin immediately, and you lead the left wing troops to charge." Qin You and Feiji almost suspected that they had heard it wrong.But seeing the resolute expression on the commander's face, the two hurriedly agreed, and each galloped towards their troops.

After Murong Feng finished speaking, he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped towards the right wing troops.Marshal Plowshare from the Liyu tribe, and Marshal Tuxiao from the Xigou tribe greeted them.

"The Wind Crack of the Tauren Tribe is our enemy. After the decisive battle begins, you lead the troops to charge on the right flank."

"Yes, Commander." The two immediately turned their horses and ran back to their troops.

Murong Feng turned his head again, and his horse started to gallop in front of the formation.Li Hong fell one foot behind his horse and followed closely.Due to the fast speed of the horse, the resistance of the flag is very high, and it takes all the strength of the whole body to lift it.He knew that this was the commander-in-chief using his commander-in-chief to tell the soldiers behind that the commander-in-chief was forming his troops and the battle was about to begin.

Murong Feng pulled out his saber violently.

With all his strength, he raised his saber high on the horse, and while galloping wildly, he yelled loudly at the faces looking at him, "Huho..."

The soldiers next to him heard the commander shouting the battle cry before the charge, and immediately raised their weapons and responded in unison: "Huho..."

Murong Feng suddenly tightened the reins, stopping the galloping horse.The war horse couldn't stop its steps, so it had to stand upright, its two front legs still bent in mid-air, as if it was going to leap away in the void.Angry neighing resounded across the plain with the high horse's head.Murong Feng followed the horse's posture, and his whole body was suspended in the air.He raised his knife again and shouted loudly: "Huho..."

More soldiers heard the commander's call, more soldiers raised their weapons, and shouted loudly along with the commander: "Huho..."

Murong Feng stood on the spot on horseback, facing his warriors, brandishing the saber in his hand, and burst out the anger and affection in his heart along with shouting: "Hoo...ho..."

All the soldiers, including those in the last row, had already heard the call. Their faces were excited, their blood was boiling, and they raised their weapons with all their strength, and roared like the earth was shaking: "Huho..."

Murong Feng turned his horse's head and raised his saber forward, "Soldiers, kill..."

A dozen horn soldiers standing behind him sounded their charge horns at the same time.

"Woo..., woo..."

Four thousand soldiers, 50 people in each row, eighty rows, like a solid rock and giant iron.Driven by Murong Feng, the giant iron lined up and began to move slowly.

Some of Feng Lie's 3000 troops are still on the mountain.About [-] troops are already in formation at the foot of the mountain.The troops on the mountain were rapidly concentrating down the mountain without stopping.

"My lord, the front army, the middle army, and the left army are all in place. The right army is gathering rapidly. The rear army is still on the mountain."

Feng Li scolded impatiently: "Bastard, hurry up, hurry up."

Murong Feng did not respond to him very abnormally, which made him feel a little bit uneasy.Did Murong Feng see through the plot?Feng Crack thought it was impossible.All the plans are arranged by him alone, absolutely impossible to make mistakes.

"So what if I made a mistake? So what if Murong Feng sees through it? My plan is perfect, and it has been laid out so far, and there is no possibility of change. This world of Xianbei has changed beyond recognition." Feng Li almost yelled crazily, "Come on, come on, kill me!"

The subordinates standing around him all looked melancholy, not knowing why their lord suddenly became like this.Wasn't it fine yesterday?

"Leave me alone and go about your business. I'm going to die. I'm happy, I'm happy, so I'm crazy. The commander is invincible. No one is a match for the commander on the battlefield. We all die, we all die Yes!" Feng Lie shouted hoarsely.

Suddenly there was an earth-shattering roar from Murong Feng's army.This roar rushed into the sky, like a thunder, shaking all the living beings in the entire Jutun.

Iron Wolf and his subordinates knew that Murong Feng's army was about to launch, they couldn't help being excited, and they all suddenly seemed to gain infinite strength.Iron Wolf raised his knife and shouted: "Brothers, reinforcements are coming, kill them."

Although the Changlu tribe's soldiers were panicked, since their commander did not issue an order to retreat, they had no choice but to fight to the end and never retreat.

Gongsun Hu had already been hit by two long arrows, but he couldn't stop, he was surrounded by enemies, if he was negligent, his life would be in danger.Duan Song in the distance had also been knocked off his horse. He tried his best to block an arrow shot by the enemy, and shouted to Gongsun Hu: "Tiger, the commander is attacking."

In Gongsun Hu's ears came a distant roar like thunder.He shouted excitedly: "Hold on, hold on. Stand up and wait for help, stand together and wait for help."

Although Duan Song and his troops had eliminated the enemies in the inner circle, they were also seriously injured, leaving only more than 700 people.The enemy still has 300 people.Everyone wants to eat the other side, so there is only attrition, and then attrition, until the number of one party is reduced enough to resist.

Feng Lie was awakened by the muffled thunder.He immediately halted his frenzied performance and resumed his usual calm and composure.

"Order the troops to speed up the assembly. The front army moves forward a hundred steps."

"Commander, Murong Feng's army has already started to mobilize." A commander who had been observing the movement of the enemy army suddenly turned around and screamed at Feng Li: "My God, he is coming towards us."

Feng Lie didn't turn his head back, and pointed at the horn soldiers casually and said, "Blow the assembly horn and prepare to charge."
