The next day.
Zhao Yun led 2,000 troops to be the vanguard, and they went deep into the grasslands alone.
Each of the vanguards carried fifty arrows, a spear, a saber, and a flag.
War flag, war flag, war invitation flag.
The words on it were destined to trample on the pride of the Southern Xiongnu.
Ten days.
Zhao Yun sent back a three-part battle report. Not only did it contain a map of the mountains and rivers, but it also contained a sketch of the Southern Xiongnu cavalry's defenses. They had only encountered a Southern Xiongnu sentry team after venturing 400 miles into the grasslands.
Twenty days.
Zhao Yun had already killed his way to the vicinity of Mount Helan. The nearly ten thousand Southern Xiongnu cavalry had split into several groups and began to surround and kill the vanguard army.
At this moment, Zhao Yun knew why the vanguard was taboo in the Northguard Prefecture. The vanguard was a special military system in the Great Han Dynasty. It was between the scout and the Formation-Breaking Army. It carried an unimaginable responsibility.
The nomadic cavalry was outstanding, and the traces of the vanguard were easily discovered by the enemy. Whether they fought or retreated was a test for them.
Thirty days.
Five-hundred miles of grassland was lit with beacon fires, and two thousand battle flags were planted on the ground.
The entire nomadic area of the Southern Xiongnu was filled with boundless fighting spirit. It was the battle flag of Zuo Xiaowei of the Northguard Prefecture. It was spread in the wind, crushing the pride of the king of the grassland and displaying Zuo Xiaowei's fearlessness vividly.
Helan Mountain, Southern Xiongnu palace.
Qiang Qu looked at the battle flag. The words on it seemed to have turned into sharp swords that slashed at his body, tearing apart his tough flesh and revealing his cowardice to the world.
"I suddenly heard that the Xiongnu cavalry is invincible. Zuo Xiaowei of Northguard Prefecture wants to test his sword.”
Huchu Quan looked at the war flag with a gloomy expression and finally said,"" Elder brother, we are waiting for news from Qiu Liju and Bu Dugen. If we rashly fight Chen Mu, we will definitely be met with defeat. He has been dominating the Xianbei tribe for many years, and even Tan Shihuai and Ke Bineng have died in his hands. We must be careful!”
"Be careful!"
"Be careful!"
Qiang Qu raised his hands and stuck the flag at the feet of Huhuquan. He said coldly,"" Last time, I heard you say that we should be cautious. Now, Chen Mu has already planted his battle flag all over the plains, but we don't dare to accept the challenge. If we endure such humiliation, how are we going to answer to the Wolf God?"”
"Brother, calm down!"
Huhuquan's expression changed and he said in a deep voice,"" Chen Mu is trying to anger you. He wants you to lead the army to Gao Nu. There are too many possibilities of an expedition happening. He wants us to set the battlefield at the border of Bing Province and not Mount Helan. He's guarding against Qiu Liju and Bu Dugen's encirclement!”
"Huhuquan, you don't dare?"
Qiang Qu's eyes were cold as he spoke with a chilling killing intent.
"Elder brother, it's best to be cautious!" Huchu Quan said with a gloomy expression.”
"Uphro!"
"Immediately gather 30,000 soldiers and follow me to Qiyuan in Shangjun. Huhuquan, you will lead 20,000 soldiers to guard the palace!”Qiang Qu's gaze fell on a youth beside Huchu Quan.
"Here!"
Yuflor shouted.
"Brother, if you fight, you will definitely fail!" Huchu Quan said coldly.”
"You said that the Xiongnu cavalry are invincible!”
Qiang Qu waved his sleeves and stepped out of the palace with his iron spear.
Gao Nu.
The place where Zuo Xiaowei was stationed.
Zhao Yun returned with a tired expression. The feeling of physical and mental exhaustion seemed to have hollowed out his youthful body.
In the commander's tent.
Chen Mu put down the battle report in his hands and raised his head to look at Zhao Yun. He smiled and said,""How do you feel?"
"Tired!"
" A month of long-distance attacks, a month of competition," Zhao Yun said bitterly." Not only is my body tired, but my heart is always tense. Now that I've relaxed, I feel unprecedentedly tired!”
"Haha!"
Chen Mu raised the battle report in his hand and sneered.""Half a month ago, Zhang He intercepted the Wuhuan reinforcements at Lang Mountain in Shuofang. Nearly ten thousand cavalrymen, all of them lightly equipped, wanted to cross Shuofang as soon as possible to help the Southern Xiongnu!”
"Aren't we alone in this battle?" Zhao Yun was enlightened.
"Naturally!"
"The three races are united. My lord has gathered the infantry at the border to prevent the Wuhuan and Xianbei from coming to the rescue!”
"The Southern Xiongnu have a total of 200,000 people, but they can only fight against 50,000 roaming cavalry at most. Therefore, we must not let the two tribes provide support. If a cavalry comes and blocks our retreat, it will almost replicate the results of the expedition army back then and we will be defeated!”Lu Bu sneered.
" The Southern Xiongnu only have 200,000?" Zhao Yun's pupils instantly constricted.
"Wei Huo, General Fei, Ban Dingyuan has fought with the Xiongnu many times and has long shattered them!”
"It can be said that the Southern Xiongnu are the weakest among the three tribes. It is not difficult for us to destroy them, but it is difficult to stop the reinforcements of the Wuhuan and Xianbei. Therefore, Wenyuan, Hengyi and the others are in more danger than us!”Chen Mu said indifferently.?
"My lord, this general has been in advance for a month and has reached Mount Helan!”
"A portion of the army is gathered near Table Mountain. The army that surrounded me came from within, and the leader is Hu Chuquan!”
"This general once killed a Xiongnu general. He said that Huchu Spring did not advocate sending troops now and seemed to be waiting for reinforcements. However, Youxian King Qiang Qu could not hold it in anymore!”Zhao Yun took a deep breath and told him all the battle reports he had heard.
"Haha!"
"This is exactly what I want. We only have ten thousand soldiers, and we are only courting death by charging at the Xiongnu Royal Court!”
" We will first destroy the Qiang Canal, then we will march to Zhuozi Mountain and finally destroy the Southern Xiongnu's royal court. This is the route of our army. Zilong, you have made a great contribution. Zhuozi Mountain might be an ambush set up by Huchu Spring. They are prepared to charge out from the mountain range when our army attacks the royal court and intercept our retreat!”Chen Mu laughed.
