Chapter 96
next morning
Han Wu exchanged the meritorious service accumulated in Bingzhou during this period of time for a suit of battle armor and wore it on himself.

Platinum chain mail, sterling silver and white light battle armor, and it is made of alloy technology, so it can be called invulnerable.

In the morning, Han Wu specially asked Hua Mulan to test the strength of the battle armor. At least Hua Mulan's [-]% strength could only leave a very shallow knife mark on the battle armor.

The knife marks are almost invisible, which is enough for Han Wu to improve his life-saving ability on the battlefield.

When night fell last night, Yuwen Chengdu's Suanni cavalry scouts discovered the location of King Zuoguli and came back to report.

Therefore, Han Wu decided to launch an attack on the grassland where King Zuoguli was located early this morning.

Moreover, Zhang Yan also led troops to Bingzhou last night. He was escorting food and grass according to Yuwen Chengdu's military order.

That's why Han Wu had to exchange for a platinum chain mail. The battlefield was chaotic, and he was worried that he would be injured.

Han Wu stood at the gate of the general's mansion, began to order generals, and assigned tasks.

"Lu Xiang and Zhang Yan, the two of you are in charge of guarding the city of Jiuyuan County. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to lead troops out of the city!"

"Yuwen Chengdu, your suanni iron cavalry is in charge of leading the battle, and together with my army, attack the Shuobei grassland where King Zuoguli is located."

"Come on, the bloodthirsty tiger guards are responsible for protecting my safety, and you are here to protect the Chinese army; Zhu Ling and Lu Zhishen's trilogy are responsible for protecting the left and right wings of the Chinese army!"

After Han Wu issued the military order, he immediately drew out his saber and held it high to the sky.

All the soldiers shouted and took orders one after another, full of momentum.

But Han Wu still asked: "Soldiers, this time the enemy is King Zuoguli of the Xiongnu with tens of thousands of cavalry, are you afraid?"

Standing here now are almost all high-level officers of the military camps, all of whom are lieutenants and commanders.

Not only are they loyal, but they are also much stronger than ordinary soldiers, so naturally they are not afraid.

"Not afraid!"

All the officers and men spoke in unison, they all roared and shouted, obviously it was King Zuoguli who was not afraid of the Huns.

Han Wu was very happy to see that the morale of all the soldiers was high, and he was ready to lead the troops out of the city.

Seven thousand bloodthirsty tiger guards, three thousand suanni iron cavalry, and 1000 ordinary Bingzhou cavalry, plus Zhu Ling's team, the army lineup of nearly 2 people is terrifying.

An hour later, in the tent where King Zuoguli was, a scout from the Huns came to report the situation.

"Report to King Zuoguli that Han soldiers and horses are approaching us, and the cavalry team is no less than 5000 people."

This Xiongnu scout discovered Han Wu's team ahead of time. After all, they are grassland peoples with strong detection capabilities.

It's just that because of the relatively long distance, the scout didn't know exactly how many cavalry troops the enemy had.

King Zuo Guli raised his head curiously, at first he thought that the Han people would not dare to leave the city at all.

A Xiongnu military advisor next to King Zuoguli heard about the situation of the Han people, and immediately suggested: "My lord, we can use the Han people's tactics to set up the camp as a trap."

"Just like we trap wolves, turn this place into a trap, treat those Han people as wild wolves, and surround and kill them here in the camp."

"Changing our tents in advance, we can take down these Han people without any casualties."

After King Zuoguli heard his military advisor's suggestion, he immediately smiled with satisfaction.

King Zuoguli said: "Okay, let's do as you said, let the warriors prepare, and turn this place into a trap."

"It is said that Han Wu, the governor of Bingzhou, is the son of the wealthy governor of Jizhou. This status is very good."

"When we catch that Han Wu, not only can we exchange a lot of supplies with the governor of Jizhou, but also take this opportunity to sweep Bingzhou!"

King Zuoguli was overjoyed.

He thinks this strategy is very good, after all, the Huns almost use no strategy in fighting.

It took half the morning before Han Wu led his troops to a hill five miles away from where King Zuoguli was.

Han Wu took a deep breath.

Hua Mulan handed him a water bag and let the young master drink a sip of water.

Han Wu frowned, from here he could already see the endless grassland and the camp of King Zuoguli in the distance.

Glancing at Yuwen Chengdu not far away, Han Wu said to him: "General Yuwen, you have been fighting the Xiongnu for so long, what do you think of their combat effectiveness?"

After Yu Wencheng heard the lord's question, he immediately rode close to Han Wu while frowning.

After a few seconds, Yu Wencheng finally said: "My lord, I think that although the Huns are very powerful in combat, they are simple-minded."

"Just like this camp, they must have an ambush. The Huns have strong detection capabilities, there is no reason why they can't find our army."

"But their tents are still here, obviously trying to confuse us. So I think there is a trap ahead!"

Yu Wencheng expressed his opinion.

Han Wu nodded slightly, agreeing.

It is absolutely impossible for King Zuoguli to not realize that he led his troops away from Jiuyuan County, their eyes are very bright.

Han Wu rubbed his chin, returned the water bag to Hua Mulan, and said, "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"

Yu Wencheng hesitated for a moment. Although he had his own solution, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

The lord must have his own ideas and countermeasures, and Yu Wencheng thought that speaking out of his own plans would disrespect the lord.

Seeing that Yu Wencheng hesitated to speak, Han Wu said: "The whole army advances at the original speed, prepare the rockets in advance, and shoot at the enemy's camp within a stone's throw."

"Since they set up traps, let's shoot rockets. If their tents are not traps, they will definitely come out to fight in advance."

"If it's a trap, give them a sea of ​​fire!"

Han Wu told a suanni iron cavalry behind him to tell Zhu Ling to get ready for the rocket.

Yu Wencheng nodded slightly, his thoughts were actually the same as Han Wu's.

Facing such a camp area that can be seen as a trap at a glance, just launching rockets is enough to solve the problem.

Although black oil is more expensive, it is much better than the losses caused by battles.

Hua Mulan frowned, and she clenched the spear in her hand, which was a magic weapon given to her by Han Wu.

Now Hua Mulan also feels a lot of pressure, after all, protecting the young master is a heavy task.

There is a high possibility of a big battle in the future. As Han Wu's guard, Hua Mulan must protect the son's safety.

Seeing that Hua Mulan was so nervous, Han Wu smiled and patted Hua Mulan's shoulder lightly, hoping that she would be at ease and calm.

The archers under Zhu Ling immediately began to prepare the rockets, and he also let the archers take the lead.

Han Wu continued to order to move forward, approaching the camp area of ​​King Zuoguli ahead.
