Great Han Empire

Chapter 306
"Order all the lieutenants to lead the army across the river!"

When Kuang Fengsha heard Li Hong's cry, he raised his hands happily and galloped away.

When Heng Ji, Nie Xiao, Zhao Yun and others heard that they were going to cross the river to pursue them, their spirits were immediately lifted. Everyone got on their horses one after another, assembled their teams and rushed to the river.

"My lord, if you resist the order and use troops without authorization, you will be killed." Xu Rong exclaimed, "My lord, you have to think twice."

"I don't want to, and I'm not afraid of beheading." Li Hong said firmly, "I will never turn back until the Xianbei people are driven out of Helan Mountain."

"It's a pleasure to fight behind the adults, it's a pleasure!" Qu Yi shouted: "Brothers, cross the Yellow River and kill the barbarians!"

"Ling Ming, Hu Ding, Qi Shen, blow the horn, summon the Black Panthers, and let's go to Helan Mountain."

===

Looking at the battlefield full of dead bodies, Tuoba Feng was extremely shocked.

"Why did the Yingling Qiang people die here?" Tuoba Hui frowned and said, "Who killed them? To kill more than 1000 people, an army of thousands of people is needed."

"Could it be that the leopard arrived in Liancheng first?" Tuoba Han said in fear, "There is no such possibility, hasn't he been following us all the time?"

Tuoba Feng looked around, and said strangely: "What is Yingling Qiang doing here? Did He Lian bring them out of the Howling Wolf Valley?"

"Helian?" Tuobahui thought for a moment, and said, "My lord's guess may be right. Helian crossed the north from the vicinity of the Shanghe River, and he must pass through the Wolf Howling Valley. Helian and Yingling Qiang's leader, Dunhu, have a good friendship , if he asks Dunhu to send troops to escort him back to Mount Khan, Dunhu will not refuse. But the question is, who did they meet? Who killed them? Where is this army now?"

"Could it be Tuoba Mu?" Tuoba Hui glanced at Tuoba Feng, and whispered, "After receiving the message from the lord, he was worried about the safety of the lord, and passed the Lingwu Valley?"

"My son is very obedient and cautious. Without my order, he would never pass Lingwu Valley." Tuoba Feng shook his head and said, "This must have been done by the Han army, and Leopard's men must have come after him. We don't I am familiar with the terrain here, but the local Qiang people are familiar with it. I think it is likely that this incident was caused by the strong wind and sand in Xianling Qiang, and he has already taken a shortcut and ran in front of us."

"Lingwu Valley? Kuangfengsha arrived at Lingwu Valley first?" Tuoba Han's face changed drastically, and he said hastily, "My lord, let's go quickly, so that we won't be attacked by the leopard after it arrives."

===

Several scouts came from different directions.

"My lord, here are all Yingling and Qiang people, and there is no corpse of a Han soldier." A scout leader reported, "The corpses of the Han soldiers have all been disposed of."

"How do you know it was done by the Han army?" Tuobahan asked, "What did you find?"

"Long arrows, there are long arrows of the Han people everywhere here." The scout replied, "Although we also use the captured long arrows of the Han people, it is impossible to use so many crossbow bolts at the same time. I can be sure that this is the Han army. Yes, and it’s an elite iron cavalry.”

Tuoba Feng and Tuoba Hui were surprised at the same time.

"Could it be that Fengyun Tie rode across the Yellow River?"

"Don't guess." Tuoba Feng said loudly, "Order the army to rush to Lingwu Valley."

=====================

He Lian and Dunhu led more than 50 people to walk through the mountains with difficulty.

"Dunhu, where are you taking us? From yesterday to today, not only have we not bypassed Lingwu Valley, but we are getting closer and closer to Liancheng." He Lian asked pantingly, "How far will we go?" when?"

"Your Majesty, after passing through this valley, we will reach the east side of Lingwu Valley." Dunhu said with a smile, "Tomorrow, we can bypass Lingwu Valley."

"How much more is there?"

"It's more than ten miles." Dunhu said, "Your Majesty has never walked the mountain road, so he doesn't know how hard it is. Although we walked for a long time, we only climbed three peaks. It's still early."

===

"There is a family, there is a family there."

The soldier walking in front suddenly shouted excitedly, "Let's go, let's go, get some food."

The shield fox rushed out of the woods in a few steps and looked into the valley.Several small thatched huts were built by the mountains and rivers, and sporadic people were seen walking in front of the huts.

"When did someone live here?" He yelled angrily, "Who is so bold to live on my land?"

"Shuai Qu is a Han Chinese, and only Han people would live in a thatched hut." A soldier said, "Let's go and burn it."

"Go, go..." Dunhu said excitedly, "Brothers, go, kill people!"

The Yingling Qiang people and Xianbei people were killed by the Han army, only a few dozen people were left behind, and there was nowhere to vent their hatred. At this time, seeing the Han people, they immediately yelled and rushed into the valley crazily.

===

"There used to be no Han people living here?" He Lian asked as he walked behind Dunhu.

"No, who will live here in the barren mountains and mountains?" Dunhu said, "After the king led the army all the way, many Han people in Liancheng fled to the mountains before they could escape the Yellow River. Recently, I Near the Howling Wolf Valley, many fleeing Han Chinese were killed and a lot of property was robbed."

While the two were talking, the shouts in front had already rang out, the hut was also set on fire, and black smoke was billowing.When the two of them and a few attendants came nearby, except for a dozen corpses strewn about on the ground, the thatched hut was almost burnt out.

Suddenly, several soldiers pointed behind them and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

Several people looked back inexplicably.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" four long arrows shot into the corpses of the four guards in the blink of an eye.The four of them fell on their backs without humming.

Two big men with disheveled hair were like roaring tigers, roaring loudly and rushing towards them.

The first person is eight feet tall, muscular, black-faced and beardless, holding two spears, and looks murderous; Almost burst out.Holding a strong bow in his hand, with four arrows on it, he turned out to be a peerless archer.

"Go to hell!" The nine-foot man roared, and shot four more arrows.

He Lian opened his eyes wide in fear, let out a strange cry, turned around and ran away.

"Kill them, kill them..." Dunhu was startled first, then furious, and raised his knife to meet him.

The angry soldiers shouted loudly, raising their weapons, and followed closely behind.

"Puchi..." It was almost the same voice, and the long arrow pierced through the four soldiers in an instant.

===

"Mazi, Mazi, kill the shield fox, kill the shield fox..." The nine-foot man opened his mouth and roared while running, and at the same time drew four long arrows from the quiver on his back with his right hand again.

"Chang Gong, shoot, shoot quickly..." Mazi suddenly accelerated, and his figure was like a wild horse that had run away, sweeping away like a hurricane.

"Hoo..." The long arrow pierced through the air, making a frightening scream, and the four soldiers screamed and died from the arrow.

Mazi roared, the spear in his right hand stood on the ground, and the spear in his left pointed to the sky. His huge body soared into the air, "Kill..."

The shield fox chopped off with one knife.

The spear in Mazi's left hand sank, and it plunged into Dunhu's lower abdomen with a "puchi".The shield fox let out a terrifying howl.

Like a huge boulder, Mazi slammed into Dunhu's arms with a huge force of inertia.The shield fox was hit and flew upside down, bringing the pierced spear with it and smashing it down far away.

Seeing the tragic death of the leader, the Yingling Qiang people shouted.

Mazi fell to the ground, watching several spears flying towards him.

The long arrow whizzed past and pierced straight into the hearts of the Qiang people.Several spears stopped suddenly in front of Mazi's eyes.

Mazi jumped up and raised his spear to kill again.

"Chang Gong..."

"Asako, go left, go left..."

Chang bow flew towards him, and shot four arrows at close range, which immediately pierced through the four Qiang soldiers who were rushing forward, and the impact of the long arrows sent the four Qiang soldiers flying backwards.

Mazi raised his spear high, rushed left and right to block, invincible; Chang Gong swam behind him, and his arrows never missed.

"Kill, kill them, revenge..."

===

The Qiang people would never have imagined that they would meet two brave warriors in this remote valley.At first they resisted for a while, but as more and more people fell down, the Qiang people became timid, and they turned around and ran away, following the Xianbei people and fleeing up the mountain.

Chang Gong and Ma Zi chased after him fiercely.

Chang Gong's arrows are like ghosts chasing their lives. Every time his three-stone strong bow makes a long sound, several people fall down.

Seeing that the brothers around him fell to the ground and died one after another, Nan Beiyun had no choice but to turn back to meet the enemy.In this way, the sharp archers of the Han people killed wantonly, and before they ran to the mountain, everyone was dead.

Mazi's spear fluttered unstoppably, and every time he took a step, someone would fall under his feet.Nan Beiyun felt that his saber was chopped not on the spear, but on the bluestone board. Under the pain of the tiger's mouth, the saber flew out of his hand.

Nan Beiyun's liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he turned around and fled as if seeing a bloodthirsty beast.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Mazi pierced Nan Beiyun's thigh with a spear and nailed him firmly to the ground.

"My lord, run, run..." Nan Beiyun knew he was going to die, and shouted hoarsely at Helian's figure, "Run..."

Mazi was shocked, his eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a loud roar: "Chang Gong, that's King Xianbei, kill him, kill him..."

Chang Gong looked up to the sky and screamed, "Go to hell..."

He used all his strength to draw the bowstring. "Boom..." The bowstring broke for him.

Chang Gong was so angry that he roared, threw away his strong bow, bent down to pick up Nan Beiyun's saber, and chased him wildly, "Take your life..."

Mazi pulled out his spear and kicked Nan Beiyun's head.Nanbei Yunkou sprayed blood and died instantly.

===

Chang Gong chopped four times in a row, killed four people in a row, killed with one knife, absolutely no chance of survival.

He Lian went crazy, he brandished his saber, and faced the bloody man like a hill, he swore to fight to the death.Only by killing him can he escape from nature.

Chang Gong took two steps back, and was about to raise his saber to attack violently, but stepped on the dead man's head.Chang Gong screamed and fell on his back.

He Lian screamed excitedly and flew into the air.

"Go to hell..." Chang Gong gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and escaped from his bosom with a delicate hand crossbow, aimed at He Lian in the air and shot it out.

Three iron arrows pierced through Helian in an instant, and rushed into the sky with three drops of blood.

Helian fell heavily to the ground and died.

=====================

Lingwu Valley is located at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, and it is the only place to pass when entering and leaving Helan Mountain.

Colonel Yang Ding, Hu Zhen and Li Su led 3000 infantry and formed a plum-blossom blocking formation in Lingwu Valley.Five phalanxes of 5000 people live outside, and a Chinese army phalanx of [-] people is in the middle.

Yang Ding is over 60 years old, with gray beard and hair.

Looking at the approaching Xianbei army, he smiled and said to Hu Zhen and Li Su who were on the left and right sides: "In this battle, we will wipe out all the Xianbei people."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely follow your wishes." Li Su said with a smile, "After this battle, we will send you back home in honor."

"My lord has fought all his life, so it's time to rest." Hu Zhen said, "You haven't seen the birth of your little grandson, have you?"

Yang Ding touched the jade pendant in his arms, and said with a smile: "Yes, I should go back and hug my grandson." He took the jade pendant out of his arms, handed it to Li Su, and said, "Look, how about this gift from me? "

Li Su put the jade pendant to his lips and kissed it, and said with a smile, "This counts as my kissing your little grandson."

Hu Zhen hurriedly snatched the jade pendant from Li Su's hand, and kissed it several times, "My lord, your little grandson's face is so tender."

"You two..." Yang Ding laughed loudly.

"My lord, does the little grandson have a name?" Li Su asked.

"A letter from my family said, wait for me to go back and pick it up." Yang Ding said with a smile, "I've already thought about it, so I'll call it Yang Ling. We won the battle in Lingwu Valley, and we must leave a memorial."

At this time, the Xianbei people blew the horn of attack.

Yang Ding raised his eyebrows and shouted wildly: "Children, beat the drum..."

===

Tuoba Feng sighed.

"I didn't expect that it was Dong Zhuo's army that came here. In this way, even if we are not defeated by the leopards, we still have to withdraw."

"The Han people's move is very vicious." Tuobahui nodded, "We got the news that Dong Zhuo led the army to Hanyang to quell the rebellion, but it turned out to be false. Dong Zhuo should occupy Lingzhou and Shanghe area to cut off our rear Road, and then flanked us back and forth with the leopard, but how did he get to Lingwu Valley? Did he delay the timing of capturing Lingzhou?"

"We lost too fast." Tuoba Feng smiled wryly, "The withdrawal was even faster. It's a fluke, if Dong Zhuo cut off our retreat and surrounded us in the Qingshui River area, our entire army would be wiped out."

"This battle, why did we fight so uselessly?" Tuoba Han said angrily, "We have never fought such a miserable defeat before."

Tuoba Feng and Tuoba Hui looked at each other and smiled wryly.Everyone has their own thoughts, it is strange that this battle is undefeated, but they did not expect to lose so badly.

Tuoba Feng felt very uncomfortable. Although his goal had been achieved, Xianbei had paid too much for this goal.But thinking of the rise of the Tuoba tribe in the future, he can feel at ease again.How can the Tuoba tribe rise without burying Danhan Mountain?
"My lord, when will the wolf smoke be lit?"

Tuoba Feng looked up at the blue sky, but didn't speak.

A few Ming Dysprosiums suddenly shot out from the battle formation of the Han army on the opposite side, and the sharp and piercing sound reached the sky.

Tuoba Feng's face changed, and he said loudly: "The Han people have an ambush."

"Order all the ministries to form a dense array and prepare to deal with the Han army's cavalry."

"Blow the trumpet, the front army launches an attack, and charge immediately."

"Light the smoke, light the smoke."

===

On the mountains on both sides about seven or eight hundred steps away from the battlefield, the cavalry of the Han army were ready to go.

Dong Zhuo raised his saber high and roared loudly: "Brothers, kill..."

He took the lead and rushed down the mountain first.

Five thousand cavalry echoed at the same time, roaring like thunder, and everyone followed closely behind, like a mountain torrent, rushing down.

On the other side of the valley, Niu Fu led five thousand cavalry and rushed towards the battlefield aggressively at the same time.

In Lingwu Valley, the sound of killing shook the sky.

=====================

This is Helian?
Li Hong looked at the head in his hand, looked left and right, but couldn't tell what it was like.

This is Helian?Is Helian the head in my hand?Li Hong recalled when he was in Xianbei Kingdom, Murong Feng's face of gnashing his teeth in hatred, and Feng Xue's tears of grief, Li Hong was completely ashamed for a moment.

This is He Lian, this is the king of the Xianbei Kingdom, this is the most powerful person on the grassland, his final ending is a pile of bones on the barren mountains, like everyone else, he is just a bowl of dust in this world All the grievances and hatreds disappeared with Helian's death.

Li Hong sighed slightly, and handed the head to Zheng Xin.

"Send it to Luoyang."

===

Li Hong helped up Chang Gong and Mazi who were covered in blood.

"The two strong men have made great achievements for the Great Han Kingdom. In the future, all the people in the Great Han Kingdom will remember the names of the two strong men. They all know that there are two heroes who killed King Xianbei in Liancheng, Beidi County."

Chang Gong and Mazi looked at each other, bowed and said, "My lord, we are just out for revenge, and we don't want to covet any fame. If your lord has nothing else to do, we will leave."

Li Hong smiled and said with admiration: "Good man. I don't know how to call the two strong men?"

"The little man Chang Gong, with the word Wufeng, is a man from Changshan Wuji."

"Chen Jian, a villain, is a native of Chen Guo, Yuzhou." Pointing to the dark spots on his face, Mazi said, "Because I have many pockmarks on my face, my friends call me Chen Mazi."

"Aren't you from the Northland?" Li Hong asked in surprise, "Then why did you come to Border County?"

Chang Gong smiled wryly, and said: "To be honest, my lord, we are all guilty. To avoid disaster, we fled here. I accidentally shot a farm horse in my hometown, and Mazi killed someone because of injustice, so..."

"Your Majesty now pardons the world every year, don't you two know?" Li Hong asked strangely, "You can go home a long time ago."

"Home?" Chang Gong smiled miserably, "Where do we still have a home? It's gone long ago. We managed to make a few friends here, and let the barbarians kill them."

Mazi looked sad and bowed his head in silence.

Li Hong felt sour in his heart.Home, how can I have a home again.

"If the two of you are homeless, you can join the army with me, and you will have a place to settle down." Li Hong said, "Wandering around is not a long-term solution after all."

Chang Gong and Ma Zi admired Li Hong's great name for a long time, and seeing Li Hong's sincere words, they hurriedly bowed to the ground, willing to join the army and serve the country.

===

"Are you going to Lingwu Valley?" Mazi stood up and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, we are going to chase the Xianbei army."

"Is it to encircle and wipe out the Xianbei people?" Chang Gong asked.

"Siege?" Li Hong laughed, "How to siege? We can't even catch up now."

"My lord, isn't General Dong Zhuo's army in Lingwu Valley?" Chang Gong said, "If you go one behind the other, you will surround the Xianbei people."

Li Hong was taken aback, "What did you say? General Dong Zhuo's army? When did you see it?"
