After dragging him down and beheading him, Liu Bowen and Li Cunxiao walked in from outside the tent.
"General, our army has killed nearly 300,000 enemies in this battle! They captured 100,000 women, 30,000 warhorses, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and countless gold and silver utensils…"
The two of them half-knelt in front of the tent and spoke.
Qin Mu couldn't help but nod his head when he heard about the harvest.
These Outsiders were really rich to be able to obtain so many spoils of war. Although they didn't know how to forge weapons and various necessities, these cattle, sheep, and warhorses were all good things. Their combined value was probably comparable to several years of taxes in Youzhou.
No wonder…
Why did people always like to start wars? This was indeed the fastest way to earn money.
"We did well in this battle. After this battle, we lost an arm to the Wuhuan Tribe, and they won't be able to recover their fighting strength in the short term. However, our goal in entering the plains is not just that. Just now, I obtained a map of Chi Shan's military deployment. According to that fellow, the Wuhuan Royal Court only has tens of thousands of soldiers defending it. If we attack with all our might, we will definitely be able to take down the capital.”
"Only by doing this can we make the Outsiders tremble in fear and not dare to offend our Han Family. What do you think?"
After Qin Mu finished speaking, he looked at the two people under the tent.
Needless to say, Li Cunxiao was a war maniac. As long as there was a battle, he would be so excited at any time. He was like a perpetual motion machine. Even if he fought for a few days and nights, he would not be tired.
He was simply a natural war machine.
As for Liu Bowen, after looking at the military deployment map, his face revealed a look of joy."Congratulations, General. With this map in our hands, it will only take a day for us to break through the Outsider King City.”
"Good! Send an order to the three armies to prepare food. We will set up camp here tonight. Tomorrow, the entire army will rush out to the Red Mountain Royal Court.”
As he spoke,
A scout passed down the order.
……
The next morning, the Tiger Troop had finished their rest.
Qin Mu rode his horse in front of tens of thousands of tiger cavalry, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. It was precisely because of them that he was able to defeat the Wuhuan Tribe and slaughter two large tribes in such a short period of time. Now, he was going to lead his troops to attack the palace.
However…
By the time the army reached the Wuhuan Royal Court, the Wuhuan King would have already been on guard. Thus, they had to move quickly. This was a lightning war, and only by reaching the Wuhuan Royal Court as quickly as possible would they have a chance of killing the Wuhuan King.
Thus, the army was destined not to advance together.
"Where is Li Cunxiao?"
"Your subordinate is here!"
Li Cunxiao rode his horse out of the group and looked at Qin Mu with eyes filled with reverence.
"This time, our army is going to attack with lightning speed. We must be fast. I order you to wear thirty thousand armor and head to the Wuhuan Royal Palace. Take the city gates and charge straight through our army.”As Qin Mu spoke, his gaze landed on him.
Li Cunxiao's battle intent instantly rose,
Obviously,
This person was already somewhat impatient. If he did not have the military deployment map, it would not be easy to achieve this. However, now that he had the map, conquering the Royal Court was only a matter of time.
Therefore, he solemnly said,"Your subordinate will obey. If you can't break through the city gate, I'm willing to bring my head to see you."”
"Good! Go, speed is the most important thing in war."
Qin Mu threw the wool roll to him and signaled for him to set off as soon as possible. Looking at the back view that disappeared into the plains, Qin Mu opened his mouth again and said,""Pass on my orders, all troops set off! Other than all the necessary supplies, the rest were discarded. They had to march quickly.”
"Yes, sir!"
Ji Hu nodded and ordered the Tiger Troop to throw away the useless things before charging towards the Crimson Mountain Royal Court.
……
At the same time, in the Crimson Mountain Royal Court.
Everyone was still as relaxed as usual. They did not feel that a great battle was imminent at all.
After all,
They had witnessed the combat power of the Eagle Army, Tiger Army, and Leopard Army of the royal court. Therefore, if such an army was sent out, it would only be a matter of time before they wiped out the Han army. Therefore, they did not need to care at all. However, they did not know that there was already a cavalry of 30,000 people rushing in their direction.
Li Cunxiao led 30,000 cavalrymen to travel day and night. Other than occasionally stopping to feed the horses, the rest of the time was spent on the journey. After several days of rushing, they could finally see the distant Red Mountain Royal Court.
As the capital city of the Wuhuan Tribe,
The Crimson Mountain was their birthplace, and it also held a sacred position among the Wuhuan people.
Because of this, as long as they could take down this place, the Outsiders would definitely be terrified, and for the next several hundred years, they would no longer dare to fight the Great Han. The destruction of the Imperial Court was far more important than the slaughter of one or two tribes.
Of course, it was not that easy to capture the Imperial Court.
There were quite a few Wuhuan clansmen living within the Crimson Mountains.
On the surface, there were only tens of thousands of people guarding the city. However, one must not forget that the Wuhuan were a nomadic race. Therefore, almost all of them were skilled in archery and riding. Therefore, once the war started, these people would definitely join the battle. At that time, it would be difficult to capture them.
However,
Li Cunxiao's mission was simple.
As long as they took down the entrance of the palace, they could wait for the army to come to their aid. Therefore, it was not impossible.
"Report! General, the Red Mountain Royal City is right in front of us. At this moment, the Wuhuan people do not know about us, so the city gates are wide open without any warning.”In front of them, a scout dismounted and reported.
Hearing this, Li Cunxiao nodded.
This was within expectations. After all, they had been traveling day and night for this moment. Who would have thought that such an army would be able to reach the Wuhuan Royal Court in such a short period of time? Furthermore, he was bold enough to directly attack the Imperial Court.
"When will the army arrive?”
"Tomorrow noon!"
" Alright, pass on my order. All of you attack the Crimson Mountain Royal Court. Remember, don't get entangled with anyone. Charge into the city gate as soon as possible. We only have one goal in this battle, and that is to defend the city gate and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Understand?”
"Understood!"
"Tiger Troop, attack and take down the palace.”
Following Li Cunxiao's furious roar, the army immediately set off and charged in the direction of the Crimson Mountain Royal Court.
