The Han and Hungarians started fighting again, and the battle at Beiguan spread rapidly several times a day to Chang'an and into the hands of Liu Che.

The army sets off for battle.

Huo Qubing left the team at night...Liu Che was able to learn about it in time.

Unfortunately, entering the grassland was no longer within the territory of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Che could not use the Sheji Map to show the battle process on the grassland.

He is also waiting for the follow-up of the Battle of Beiguan.

But then came the bad news one after another.

A strong wind rose on the grassland, and the main force of the Han army was caught in it. The situation was not optimistic, and there was no further news for a day and a night.

Beiguan.

After Wei Qing's army left, the northern front was heavily guarded.

Veteran Li Guang is still responsible for defending the city.

He was standing at the head of the city of Shuofang County, and he could hear the howling wind on the grassland: "This wind is really blowing, and the scouts haven't sent back any news yet?"

"No, many scouts lost their way in the wind, and only two returned, saying that our army seemed to be involved in the area with the strongest winds."

A lieutenant general asked worriedly: "General, do you think our army still has a chance of winning?"

Li Guang is sixty-six years old this year. His beard and hair are slightly white, but he is tall and has tiger-like eyes: "General Wei was well prepared before entering the grassland. He used his troops cautiously and had good plans. Let's wait for the news.

But the Huns probably used this method not just to deal with the general."

"General, do you mean that the Huns will attack the border?" The deputy general's expression changed slightly.

Li Guang nodded: "Definitely, I just don't know where to start."

…

Youbeiping County is a large county in the northeast direction of the Han Dynasty.

This was also the frontline battlefield for battles with the Huns over the years.

However, the situation has changed in recent years. With the counterattack of the Han army, the opportunities for direct confrontation between Youbeiping County and the Huns have become less and less.

Relatively speaking, the defense on the northern front this time is also relatively weak in Beiping County.

Just that night, there was also a strong wind outside the border town of Beiping County.

This strong wind covered up the hoofbeats of the Huns' cavalry, and at the same time weakened the Han army's vision and hearing.

When the Xiongnu soldiers rode into the city in the early morning, they were very close to the city before the Han army discovered it and sent out a warning.

The two sides fought bloody battles until dawn, and the border town of Youbeiping County was raging with war and was already in danger.

On the same day, several other border towns were also attacked by the Huns.

The Xiongnu launched an unprecedented strong offensive against the Han border.

There were several cities that they threw into the city with "fire ox", hoping to burn the city to break the barrier.

The news spread back to Chang'an, and those who heard it were shocked.

In recent years, it has been rare for the Xiongnu to directly attack border towns. It was unexpected that it would happen in more than one place during the main battle of the Han army.

"How did the Xiongnu know that Youbeiping County was the weak point of this border defense?"

"Look at the troops the Xiongnu invested and the cities they chose, they are all places where our defense is weak!"

The doctor ordered Shi Jian and other generals who stayed behind to be summoned to Liu Che. Everyone looked solemn.

Unexpectedly, if we take the initiative to send troops, the Xiongnu will be the first to charge into the city, endangering the border pass. If the border pass city is defeated, it will be a heavy loss, and the intention of severely damaging the Xiongnu will be defeated.

"Your Majesty, the Huns have obviously planned something for a long time. They should send orders to the border gates and instead defend with all their strength!"

"...Your Majesty, please think twice!"

A group of ministers came out one after another.

Zhou Ping, who was on the side, was now more and more convinced that his previous judgment was correct. This time the war started, and he fell into the trap of the Huns.

If you choose to stick to it from the beginning, there will never be an immediate crisis.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that there are nomadic tribes on the western front who may also attack the border..."

Zhou Ping's words were interrupted by Liu Che: "Wait a moment, I believe General Wei will not let the Huns succeed."

————

In the morning, deep in the grassland, a team was riding wildly.

call out!

The arrow shot through the air, and a bird in the sky was shot and fell to the ground.

On horseback, Huo Qubing fired his bow and arrows himself.

The reason was that he vaguely felt that someone, like Liu Qing, had divided his soul and was using birds to try to chase him.

This feeling disappeared after he came to Beiguan.

Huo Qubing suspected that the secret author was deploying methods to find his position.

At the front of their team was Huo Qubing, who was holding a two-foot long spear.

The entire team behind him was connected, with a layer of mist lingering around them.

Huo Qubing has activated the magical marching strategy and promoted the Sea of ​​Knowledge Soldier Talisman to release the power of the Spiritual Turtle of Nourishing Zhi, gather his breath and march.

Therefore, his team can penetrate deep into the grassland as if they are invisible.

In his consciousness, the spirit turtle raised his head and breathed in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the ancient characters of the seven techniques of Yinfu cultivation in this scripture appeared around him, flickering.

Their team, after galloping for several days and nights, occasionally resting and eating, had reached the depths of the grassland.

Huo Qubing's perception was fully unleashed on the vast grassland, and he was able to discern all changes.

Based on their bearings, they should have approached the Qiuba Mountain area and penetrated the Huns' rear area.

"Huo Yaoyao, where should we go?!"

Zhao Ponu was captured by the Xiongnu as a laborer in his early years, and he was far more familiar with the geographical environment of the grassland than others. But at this moment, he was a little disoriented. What he saw was vast and vast, with almost no reference points.

The grassland in early June is as green as the sea. For those who are not familiar with the grassland, it is simply a natural maze.

"A few miles ahead is the first target!" Huo Qubing said solemnly.

…

The Xiongnu nationality is Ruohou, and he is a nobleman of the Xiongnu in the generation of Great Chan Yu Yi Zhixie's grandfather, which is equivalent to the title of a feudal lord in the Han Dynasty.

When the front line went out, he was responsible for the rear area. Most of the tribe's elite were recruited to the front line, but the tribe still had a fairly strong defense force.

The Xiongnu also had conflicts with the grassland herders further east, and they had to defend themselves against wolves and other wild beasts.

Therefore, wherever the Huns camped, sufficient vigilance and combat effectiveness were maintained at all times.

Ji Ruohou's last name only has the word "Chan". Although he is old now, he was also a general who led troops and horses in the Han Dynasty. He made great achievements and was deeply respected by Yi Zhixie.

His tribe occupies one of the richest lands on the grassland, located to the west of Choba Mountain.

The tribe now still has the Han people he plundered as slaves, and even allowed the Han people to breed their heirs.

The wind has been howling on the grassland recently, but behind the Huns, there is no wind or rain, and the sun is shining brightly.

Ji Ruohou Chan was looking south outside the tent.

He had a long and thin face and rough skin. He said to a left-behind nephew beside him:

"This time the Great Chanyu mobilized various tribes to plunder the Han people, and with the help of the Great Shaman, once the Han people are defeated and the new population is snatched back, our tribe can also share some and continue to grow."

"It's a pity that I couldn't go to the battlefield to fight the Han people in person because of the injury I suffered last year."

The strong Xiongnu man behind him has a slight limp in his legs, his hair is tied into a sloppy braid, and there are scars on his face from battles. He looks very ferocious:

"If my injury is on the horse, it will not affect the battle. If I can't go to plunder the Han Dynasty in person, the good things will be divided by other tribes."

Ji Ruohou said: "There are always opportunities for plunder in places where the Han people live... Why are you so anxious?"

"When I grow up, I will also join my Huns army to intercept and kill the Han people and steal their women back..."

On the other side of Ji Ruohou, a Hun child about ten years old curled his lips, his face full of defiance, and he seemed to have a yearning for invading the Han people.

This is an idea passed down from generation to generation by the Xiongnu and almost engraved in their bones.

Going south to plunder can strengthen their tribe!

The child's mother was a Han Chinese woman who had been robbed, but now he used her as a maid.

This was very common among the Huns, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Several people were talking when they suddenly felt the turf on the ground vibrate slightly.

Ji Ruohou looked slightly alert and turned his head and said, "Is it because a large number of horses are running that causes the ground to shake?"

"Come here, let's have a look."

The strong man with the scar on his face beside him whistled, and a horse galloped over not far away.
