Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 118 Wei Qing's surprise attack
The flames of the Xiongnu camp illuminated the place like daytime, and Wei Qing looked forward in his uniform.Huo Qubing hurried over and saluted Wei Qing: "Uncle, all the food, grass and supplies of the Xiongnu camp have been captured by our army. Do you want to send troops to support Zhou Bo's troops immediately?"

"The lord has an order. The first priority in this battle is to capture the Hun Youxian King alive. Do you still remember?"Wei Qing didn't answer, but instead asked Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing straightened his expression, and bowed again to Wei Qing: "Report to the general, the general will remember."

"The Xiongnu soldiers are soldiers when they take up weapons, and they are herdsmen when they put down their weapons. We need to rule the central grasslands in Seoul, so we cannot lack these young men. That's why this general persuaded the lord to focus on defeating the enemy army, followed by killing the enemy."Wei Qing talked to Huo Qubing with eloquence.

Huo Qubing nodded slightly: "The final general must abide by the military orders, and the most important thing is to defeat the Huns."

"If you can think that way, the general will be relieved."Wei Qing nodded approvingly. This nephew is good at everything, but he is too murderous towards aliens.So I have to say a few more words, so as not to cause disaster.

Huo Qubing smiled, but just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps.A cavalryman of the Han army came quickly, seeing Wei Qing dismounted and bowed quickly: "My lord's military order, everything is going according to plan."

"Pass down the order to leave [-] soldiers and horses here, and if you encounter the Huns' rout, they will be arrested immediately."Wei Qing's spirit was shaken, and he gave instructions to several generals around him.

Several generals bowed to Wei Qing: "No."

"Huo Qubing originally ordered you to lead [-] cavalry as the vanguard to rush to the aid of Zhou Bo's troops."Wei Qing gave orders to Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "The last general takes orders."

"I will personally lead an army of [-], and together with you, I will attack the troops of King Youxian of the Huns."Wei Qing looked around at the other generals around him, and issued the military order again.

All the generals bowed: "We will defeat the enemy army and capture the Hun Youxian King alive."

As soon as the voice fell, the drum sounded, and the [-] army, with cavalry as the vanguard, rushed towards the battle site like a torrent.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers in the fighting area were ordered to rush to the place where the [-] pro-guards were, and the pro-guards fell into a bitter fight for a while.

A cavalry soldier of the Han army ran towards Zhao Wuming again: "The city lord, the Huns have many soldiers and horses. Although our personal guards are elite, they are gradually sinking into the quagmire."

"Sun Buer, you personally lead the [-] pro-guards to support."Zhao Wuming frowned slightly, and gave orders to Sun Buer behind him.

"promise".Sun Bu'er saluted on the horse, then patted the horse and rushed to the place of battle with a phalanx of ten thousand people.

Arrows rained down on the Xiongnu soldiers, and Sun Buer slapped the horses with [-] guards and rushed in fiercely.

The Xiongnu soldiers who surrounded the pro-guard army were panicked when they saw Sun Buer attacking them.Under the scolding of the generals of the Huns, they gradually stabilized their positions.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu was a little annoyed when he saw the changes. He didn't understand why there were so many elite soldiers in the enemy army. Thinking of facing the two generals around him, he immediately gave an order: "Avoid these elite enemy troops and kill those tired soldiers first. Send the order Go down, and the rear army will dispatch [-] soldiers and horses."

"Follow orders".The two generals of the Xiongnu bowed and led two phalanxes of ten thousand people.Avoid Sun Buer's troops, and go directly to the direction of Donghu's servant army.

The Donghu servant army had been fighting for a long time and was already exhausted. At this time, seeing another [-] reinforcements from the Xiongnu's side came, they gradually began to be defeated.Seeing this from the rear, Chen Ping quickly ordered the supervising soldiers to kill the deserters, but there were too many deserters. This action not only had no effect, but increased the speed of the defeat.

Zhao Wuming didn't know when he had already appeared outside the battlefield. Seeing that the Donghu servant army was about to be completely defeated, he was annoyed, and shouted at the guards around him: "Hang up the city master's flag".

"promise".A banner of the city lord was raised from the central guard, and the flames illuminated the place as if it were daytime.

Zhao Wuming raised his hand, and ten thousand guards roared away.The thundering sound of horseshoes attracted the attention of the two warring parties, and the soldiers of the Donghu servant army looked to the south.Seeing the banner of the city lord fluttering in the wind, thinking about the act of escaping just now, he showed a horrified look.For the sake of the family and to get rid of the charges, countless soldiers of the Donghu servant army stomped their feet fiercely, mustering all the strength in their bodies to kill again.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu looked at the unexpected guest who suddenly appeared, and turned the situation around with a banner, his anger couldn't stop spreading in his heart.Then he pointed in the direction of Zhao Wuming, saw that he only had one hundred personal guards, and urged the generals beside him: "What are you doing still in a daze, take the remaining [-] soldiers and horses to kill this king, that flag cannot be left behind" .

"Follow orders".The only three remaining generals beside King Youxian of the Xiongnu quickly took orders, but they were taken aback when they turned around.

The sound of drums came from behind the Huns' army, and it exploded in my mind like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.Huo Qubing took the lead and led [-] cavalry to roar forward.Immediately afterwards, countless soldiers of the Han army in red uniforms rushed towards the direction where King Youxian of the Huns was.

The situation on the battlefield was turned upside down in an instant. King Youxian of the Xiongnu turned pale and yelled at the three generals: "Hurry up and meet them."

"Follow orders".The three generals came to their senses, and rushed towards Huo Qubing with the remaining [-] Hun soldiers who had not been on the battlefield.

The [-] Xiongnu soldiers were thrown into the sea like tiny stones in front of a [-] army, and there was no wave at all.

Seeing this, the Youxian King of the Huns hurriedly ran to the place of battle, afraid of fighting horses.Only by running into one's own army can one feel a sense of security.

Huo Qubing didn't chase after him, but slapped his horse and galloped towards the place where the Xiongnu King's Banner was.

The Xiongnu king's banner fell to the ground, and the morale of the Xiongnu soldiers plummeted.The Han army rushed to the place of battle, and the Xiongnu soldiers gradually began to be defeated.

The sun had already risen high at some point, and the 10,000+ Huns fled to death. At this time, there were less than [-] people by the side of King Youxian of the Huns.

The Han army and Donghu servant army surrounded the area, but did not launch an attack.

Seeing this, the Youxian King of the Huns knew what the enemy general meant.Looking at the soldiers around him, he sighed when he saw the tiredness on their faces, and walked to the front where the banner of the Han army's city lord was slightly afraid of riding his horse.

Nearly [-] Hun soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.No matter what, this nightmare is finally coming to an end.

Zhao Wuming saw the Xiongnu Youxian King walking slowly on his horse from a distance, and he didn't make things difficult immediately, and led Sun Buer to meet him on his horse.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Han army quickly made way for a passage.The Youxian King of the Xiongnu looked at Zhao Wuming, seeing him so young, he felt a little bit of emotion in his heart. Thinking of his own situation, he got off his horse and saluted Zhao Wuming: "The defeated generals are willing to be captured. May the general release these soldiers."

"Gu can wait for the end of this battle to release those Huns soldiers. And promise to let those Huns who are willing to return to your royal court safely return to the royal court. As long as Youxian King can cooperate with our army's actions."Zhao Wuming stated his conditions to King Youxian of the Huns.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu shook his head without hesitation: "Although the victory of your army is certain, it is really difficult for this king to order the 15 troops outside the large eastern tribes to surrender."

"There are only 15 soldiers and horses in the area, and there are no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. You can just force them to surrender alone, so why let the sage king do such embarrassing things."Speaking of the word "forced surrender", Zhao Wuming felt a surge of pride in his heart.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu was puzzled, and looked at Zhao Wuming puzzled: "In this case, what is the matter with the cooperation that the general just said."

"Please the Righteous King to live in our city temporarily, and at the same time, please send a letter of divorce to the Xiongnu Shanyu, and tell him the whole story of this battle."Zhao Wuming's smile was full of mystery.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu gradually raised his brows: "I also ask the general to speak clearly."

"As long as you Shanyu admit that the central grassland belongs to our city of Seoul, Gu will cease war with you Huns."Zhao Wuming stated his conditions word by word.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu couldn't help laughing wildly: "A truce? My family still has an army of 30 at the junction of the western grassland and the central grassland. Why do you say the word truce?"

"Ding Ling's rebellion has already plunged your family into a quagmire. You only need King Youxian to write a letter to you Shanyu. As for whether it will succeed or not, it is up to your Shanyu to decide."Zhao Wuming looked directly at King Xiongnu Youxian.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu stopped his laughter and bowed to Zhao Wuming.Since it is such an innocuous matter, so what if you agree, anyway, the decision is in Shan Yu's hands: "The letter writing can be done, I hope the general will not break his promise and become fat."

"With kindness alone, King Youxian is at ease."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he told Sun Buer who was behind him: "Dispatch [-] soldiers and horses, send them all to Seoul and outside the city, and be guarded by the reserve army."

"promise".Sun Buer took the order, and after a while, two phalanxes of ten thousand people were separated from the Han army, and the weapons of the Xiongnu soldiers were collected, and they were escorted towards Seoul.
