Liu Gaoshengyuan led 50,000 Xiongnu people to line up on the necessary path of the Wei army.

The formation that slaughtered the Huns and the Jie people's warriors was located on his wings.

After fighting the day before, Liu Gaoshengyuan determined that the Wei army would not launch an attack easily, and all the attacks would be left to Hu Chuquan to complete.

The Turen and the Jie people were arranged on the two wings respectively, and Liu Gaoshengyuan's plan was to confront the Wei army through them.

As long as he was fighting, the Wei army would not take advantage of the situation to advance. He was confident that he could stop Cao Heng for at least ten days.

It doesn't take as long as it takes more than ten years to lead the Huns' warriors to leave.

The Huns knew Hetao very well, and as long as they took three days, they would find a terrain suitable for a long confrontation with the Wei army.

Looking at the Wei army coming from afar, Liu Gaoshengyuan's face was solemn.

Although he had made arrangements, he was always afraid of the combat capabilities of the Wei army.

The Hun warriors under Hu Chuquan were not taken seriously by Liu Gaoshengyuan.

Not to mention that the number of Hun warriors under him is at a disadvantage, even if the number is more than that of Liu Gaoshengyuan, he may not have the chance to break through the defense line.

What Liu Gaoshengyuan was really worried about was the Great Wei army, whose soldiers had long regarded fighting as the only value of living, and that they had long regarded fighting as their only value.

The soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty advanced forward and stopped at a place that was only more than Liu Gaoshengyuan's shot.

A fast horse rushed out of the Wei army's array.

The Wei knights who rode their horses towards Liu Gaoshengyuan reached a place that was only more than ten steps away from him.

"Listen to the Right King of the Huns." The Wei army riding horse shouted: "The prince remembers that God has a good life and does not intend to completely destroy the Huns. As long as the Right King of the Huns is willing to serve the Great Wei, the prince will definitely leave a way out for you and your Xiongnu people."

Liu Gaoshengyuan laughed: "I appreciate the kindness of the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty. Please go back and tell the prince. Since I have come here, there is no need to say anything else, just arrange troops and prepare for fighting."

Although he refused Cao Heng's surrender, he was still polite in his response.

The Wei army, who had left the battle, returned to Cao Heng and reported Liu Gaoshengyuan's reply to Cao Heng.

Cao Heng nodded, signaling the Wei army to retreat, and said to Hu Chuquan beside him: "Liu Gaoshengyuan is indeed different from Qubei and others. I asked someone to go and recruit surrender to erase his morale. If he was furious, he would fall into my trap. Such a calm response would make the Huns on the other side more confident in this battle. When Shanyu fought with him, he had to be extremely careful."

"Don't worry, Prince, I understand." Hu Chuquan responded, and then asked Cao Heng: "Dare you ask the prince, when will I lead the warriors to rush forward?"

"Wait for a moment." Cao Heng said: "Jiang Boyue and Lu Boyan have not made any arrangements yet. Liu Gaosheng is here to stop us and prevent us from chasing us in time. With such a plan, how can I let him succeed? In today's battle, we must defeat the enemy with one blow."

"I led the warriors to attack the Central Army that was in a hurry to defeat the tide. It was Liu Gaoshengyuan who turned the tide that failed to expand the results of the war." Hu Chuquan said: "He is very different from Liu Meng, so it is better for the prince to be wary of it."

"I understand what Shanyu said." Cao Heng smiled and said to Hu Chuquan: "From his response to my surrender, we can see that this person is not only very scheming, but also has a lot of energy. Only when he meets such an opponent on the battlefield can he have the fun of fighting."

"The prince said," Hu Chuquan agreed, and then asked, "I wonder how the prince plans to defeat Liu Gaoshengyuan?"

"Simple." Cao Heng replied: "If he had deployed the Huns on the left and right wings, I would really have to consider how long this battle could last. Now he did not do that, but deployed the Jie people and the Tu people on both wings. Although the Jie people and the Tu people hated the Great Wei, they were not in the same heart and virtue as the Huns. The war was a little unfavorable, and the morale of the Jie people and the Tu people was likely to be destroyed. Later, the Shanyu led the Hun warriors to fight first, and Jiang Boyue and Lu Boyan would choose the right time to urge the soldiers to rush forward and defeat the Jie people and the Tu people on both wings. Once the two wings were broken, even if Liu Gaoshengyuan had the ability to reach the sky, he would not be able to stop our army."

"Brother, do you want the artillery to fire first?" Cao Yi asked Cao Heng from the side.

Cao Heng replied: "The number of enemy troops is quite large, but it allows the warriors to spread out the array. For a formation like this, the role of artillery can play is very limited. Although it is necessary to fire artillery, don't have too much expectations for the cannon. In today's battle, the most important thing is the soldiers, not the cannon."

"I understand." Cao Yi replied: "I will arrange for artillery to bombard the enemy's central army."

Cao Yi left, Hu Chuquan asked Cao Heng in confusion: "Since the prince knows that the cannons will have too many functions in a short time, why do we still need artillery fire? Although the army brought a lot of shells, after all, one will be missing if one is fired."

Looking at Hu Chuquan, Cao Heng smiled and said, "Does Shanyu know what is the most important thing on the battlefield?"

He was stunned by his question, and Hu Chuquan replied: "The general charges and the wise plan thousands of miles, which should be the most important thing on the battlefield."

"Not." Cao Heng shook his head: "The most important thing on the battlefield is actually people. As long as our soldiers can survive more, we will most likely win this war. Although shells are expensive, one less is thrown out. However, shells are made of copper and gunpowder after all, and any weapons that can be made are kept for use. If shells cannot work on the battlefield, what is the point of making them in Penglai?"

Cao Heng woke up Huchuquan with one sentence. In fact, the situation on the battlefield was as he said. The weapons were built for use. If the shells were not fired, it would be impossible to cause damage to the enemy, nor could it cover the charge of the army. The shells that were not put into use would have no other effect except for the burdens they had taken on the army as they advanced.

Moreover, the shells are made of copper and gunpowder. Once they are not kept properly, they may explode. Not only will they not kill the enemy, but their own people will be implicated by it.

"Did Shanyu figure it out?" Cao Heng smiled slightly at Hu Chuquan and asked.

"I figured it out." Hu Chuquan replied: "The prince is right. The shells are originally weapons. Since they are weapons, they cannot kill and damage the enemy without being put into use. Even if we carry artillery shells around us all day, it is useless to store them in the army."

Cao Heng nodded, and his eyes fell again on the Huns who were Liu Gaoshengyuan in front of him.

Cao Yi passed his orders to the artillery, and soon the cannon roared.

With loud noises, the Huns formation led by Liu Gaoshengyuan to rise up in balls of white smoke.

Although the Huns' array was scattered, with the roar of cannons, some of the Huns were still hit by fragments of shells and fell on the battlefield.

The sound of artillery roared, and the Wei army's artillery bombarded for an hour or two, but still had no intention of stopping.

Hu Chuquan asked Cao Heng: "Prince, the artillery has been bombarded for an hour or two. Is it time to attack?"

"Didn't Shanyu notice that I planned to let the artillery fight a bombardment that was enough to lift the ground?" Cao Heng smiled slightly and asked Hu Chuquan.

Looking at him in surprise, Hu Chuquan asked, "The prince means..."

"Our artillery shells are quite abundant. Liu Gaoshengyuan is in a formation like this, and it is impossible to kill many Huns with just a small number of artillery shells." Cao Heng said: "I want the artillery to release artillery shells endlessly, and first blow the enemy's morale to the verge of collapse. Then Shanyu leads the warriors to rush forward, and he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Don't you have to give a few shells to each of the Jie people and Tu people?" Looking at the Jie people and Tu people on the left and right wings of Liu Gaoshengyuan, Hu Chuquan asked in confusion first, and then said: "General Jiang and General Lu have no shell cover, so they must have fought hard later."

"Whether you can defeat the enemy in one battle depends mainly on whether you can defeat Liu Gaoshengyuan." Cao Heng replied: "The slaughter of everyone and the Jie people are just a compatible team, and the Shanyu doesn't have to worry about them at all."

Cao Heng did not take the Jie people and Tu people into consideration, and Hu Chuquan advised: "I think I should put some shells on the two wings of the enemy. I used to be the Great Huns and knew about the Jie people. They fought bravely. If they did not destroy their morale first, even if they could conquer the soldiers of the Great Wei who were good at fighting, it would be difficult for them to break through their defense. As for Tu people, they were once a branch of the Northern Huns. When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, I have to admit that the Southern Huns are not the opponent of the Northern Huns."

"Does the Shanyu say this? Do you not believe in the soldiers of the Great Wei, or are you too confident in the Tu people and the Jie people?" Cao Heng looked at him and asked.

"Neither." Hu Chuquan replied: "I'm just telling the truth. I do have a lot of understanding of Jie people and Tu people."

"What we know back then does not mean that it is useful now." Cao Heng said: "The Jie people have been killed by the soldiers of the Great Wei long ago and they have lost their courage. There are only a few thousand warriors they can mobilize. Even if all the Jie people fled to Hetao, they are only 20,000 to 30,000, which is not enough to worry. As for the massacres, they have always claimed to have followed their father to attack the Huns. They believe that they have learned the skills of the soldiers of the Great Wei. Today I want them to know that even without bombardment of shells, the soldiers of the Great Wei can defeat them in one fell swoop."

"Of course I believe in the ability of the soldiers of the Great Wei." Hu Chuquan replied: "I am just reminding the prince to beware of them."

Grinning at Hu Chuquan, Cao Heng said, "Shanyu doesn't have to worry about these things. Just lead the warriors to take Liu Gaoshengyuan's head of the Xiang. As for how the two wings fight, Shanyu doesn't have to pay attention!"

"I understand what the prince means." Hu Chuquan immediately responded.

The artillery of the Wei army continued to drop artillery shells at Liu Gaoshengyuan's troops.

All the Huns, including Liu Gaoshengyuan, got off the horse and hid behind the war horses, trying to avoid being concentrated by shells.

Even so, many Huns fell down amid the rumbling cannons.

Several guards protected Liu Gaoshengyuan. He hid behind the horses and did not even dare to raise his head amid the roar of shells.

The artillery bombardment of the Wei army lasted for two or three hours. When the cannon sound stopped, Hu Chuquan led the Hun warriors to launch an attack.

The sound of cannons stopped, and Liu Gaoshengyuan, whose face was covered in dust, stood up.

He shouted to the Hun warriors beside him: "Warriors, the enemy is coming up, come and fight with me!"

With Liu Gaoshengyuan's order, many Huns stood up.

When many of them stood up, they found that many of their companions who had been dormant not far away were dead under the bombardment of shells.

More Huns found that their war horses died in shelling. They were originally planning to cross the horse's back and fight with Huchuquan, so they could only temporarily serve as infantry soldiers.

Liu Gaoshengyuan ordered a counterattack, and Hu Chuquan had led the warriors to rush in front of them.

Many Huns who had just stood up were scattered under the impact of the warriors led by Huchuquan.

When Hu Chuquan led the Hun warriors to Liu Gaoshengyuan and fought with the Huns under his command, Cao Heng ordered Cao Yi on the side: "Tell the generals to prepare. When Hu Chuquan's attack is blocked by the enemy, our army will then kill him."

Cao Yi accepted the order and sent someone to convey the military order.

When they arrived in Hetao, the Wei soldiers thought they didn't have to fight and were not in high spirits.

When the soldiers received the order, saying that they would launch an attack after Huchuquan's attack was blocked, the army suddenly became riots, and each Wei army held its weapons tightly, looking forward to the fight that was about to come.

Jiang Wei and Lu Xun, who led the soldiers to confront Tu Ge and Jie people on the left and right wings, did not make any moves.

They are also waiting for the best combat opportunity.

The Jie people and Tu people who received the orders of Liu Gaoshengyuan were not prepared to attack.

The commander of the Jie people and the Tu Wang all believed that Cao Heng would not order the Wei army soldiers to launch an attack.

Their mission was just to confront the Wei army, which made the Wei army on both wings unable to find an opportunity to launch an attack.

With such thoughts, the Jie people and Tu people will certainly not defend themselves wholeheartedly.

From the Wei army watching the enemy's wings, you can see obvious defects.

The charge launched by Huchuquan initially brought considerable casualties to the Huns. Gradually, Liu Gaoshengyuan stabilized the situation, and the Huns led by him even launched a counterattack.

The two sides fought on the battlefield, and Huchuquan gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Cao Heng pointed forward: "The soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty obeyed the orders and immediately went to fight and repel the enemy!"

The order was issued, and the Wei soldiers, who had been waiting for the battle, rushed towards Liu Gaoshengyuan's central army under the leadership of the generals.

He never thought that the Wei army would launch an attack. Not only Liu Gaoshengyuan was surprised, but even Jie people and Tu were surprised.

The battle exceeded expectations, and the Jie people and Tu people were each moving upwards.

Jiang Wei and Lu Xun, who were confronting them, were waiting for them to make some moves. Seeing that the Tu and Jie people were moving, the two immediately ordered the soldiers to launch an attack.
