The order was issued from the royal court of the Xiongnu, to the court of the Left King Xian, to the court of the Left King Li of the Left Valley, to the court of the Left General, to the court of the Left General... and
then to the Xiongnu tribes of all sizes on the grasslands, from near to far!
While countless tribes were shocked, panicking, and waiting for the arrival of the Han army, the Xiongnu generals of various tribes were gathering their troops to encircle and suppress the Han army that had entered the grasslands.
For a moment, the plains were filled with soldiers who were rushing to deliver orders and investigate the situation!
There were also troops that came out of the tribe!
Nearly 10,000 Xiongnu people had been killed. This made many Xiongnu leaders furious, even if these tribes were not under their command.
However, the fact that so many people had been slaughtered by a mere 2,000-strong Han army made them, who had always been arrogant and despised the Han army, look very embarrassed!
They were the Xiongnu warriors, the rulers of this grassland. How could they allow others to kill them wantonly?
Rumble ~~
Groups of soldiers were mobilized. They rushed from different directions in an attempt to intercept the Han army and surround and destroy them!
And when the Xiongnu armies moved out!
Somewhere on the grassland!
Rumble ~
A troop of nearly 2,000 people was galloping forward.
That's right, they were the 1700 cavalrymen led by Tian Meng!
Although they had experienced several battles, the entire team did not suffer any losses.
This was not only because they had basically launched surprise attacks in the previous battles, and the other party had not been prepared at all, but also because they were fully armored and had blocked most of the damage for them.
It was not easy to kill them with the Xiongnu's arrows!
As he rode on his warhorse, Lieutenant Zhang Wanqian shouted at Tian Qiong,
"Governor, other than the army that is chasing after us, I'm afraid that our actions have alarmed most of the Xiongnu tribes. I guess that the Xiongnu Chanyu must have sent more troops to hunt us down!”
Hearing Zhang Wanqian's words, Tian Meng nodded slightly.
They had long discovered the scouts of the Xiongnu behind them and knew that there were already troops chasing after them. Moreover, with the massacre of three tribes, the Xiongnu Chanyu must have been alerted. Other than some tribes that were too far away from the royal court, most of the Xiongnu tribes must have heard the news.
It would not be easy for them to launch a surprise attack again!
Tian Qiong turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were following closely behind him. He saw that all of them had tense faces and calm expressions. He understood that after experiencing so many killings, these new recruits had already adapted to war and killing!
They were no longer inexperienced. They were much calmer now. They were no longer as excited as when they had just started slaughtering the Hu Rong tribe!
There was no doubt that after a few bloody battles, the combat strength of this army had definitely increased by a lot!
"Yang San 'er, how far are we from the Ghost Rong Tribe?”
Tian Qiong asked Yang San Er beside him.
"Replying to the prefect, we will definitely arrive in less than four hours!”
After Yang San 'er finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said to Tian Qiong,
"But Governor, although the Gui Rong Tribe is quite far from the Chanyu Court, the Xiongnu will definitely send word to the various tribes as soon as possible. I'm afraid that the Gui Rong Tribe is already on guard. It will be very difficult for us to attack them…"
Tian Qiong stared into the distance and said coldly,
"If we can't attack them, we'll just kill them head-on!"”
After saying that, he looked at Lieutenant Zhang Wanqian and said,
"Tell the soldiers that a tough battle is waiting for them. It's time for them to show their strength!”
"Yes, Mayor!"
Zhang Wanqian replied in a deep voice and immediately passed the message down.
At this moment, they had experienced three great battles and three massacres. Although they were a little tired, their morale was very high. Every soldier was filled with great confidence.
The rumored powerful and terrifying Xiongnu had disappointed them!
Was this the Xiongnu?
Slaughtering them was like slaughtering pigs and dogs!
Now that they heard the prefect say that there would be a tough battle to fight, everyone's eyes shone with anticipation and excitement!
They also wanted to see the true strength of the Xiongnu!
Ta, ta, ta…the
army continued to gallop forward!
Soon, in less than four hours, the shadow of a tent appeared in the distance. The army was constantly approaching the tent.
At this moment, a group of people came out from the tent, waving a flag to stop the army from approaching the tribe.
Because Tian Meng and the others were still pretending to be Xiongnu people, these Xiongnu people could not be identified from afar!
However, the team was charging at full speed, and the warhorses were galloping. How could they stop and be recognized by the enemy?
The army rumbled and charged over without stopping.
Seeing that the group did not stop, the group also realized that they did not come with good intentions, so they quickly ordered the tribe to prepare for battle!
Rumble!
The army charged towards the tribe. There was a barricade in front of the tribe. Tian Qiong immediately ordered the army to charge into the tribe from both sides.
This tribe was not small, so it was impossible for them to surround it with a barricade.
Seeing the enemy charging towards them, the Xiongnu from the Gui Rong Tribe drew their bows and shot arrows. At the same time, they split into two groups to stop the enemy from killing their way in.
Unfortunately, this was only a Xiongnu tribe of 3,000 people. Excluding the old, young, women, and children, there were only 600 to 700 Xiongnu people who had truly powerful combat strength.
How could they be a match for 1,700 fully equipped elite cavalrymen?
Not long after the army attacked from both sides, the Xiongnu people, who had a premonition that they could not resist, fled in panic on their horses!
When a Xiongnu ran, more Xiongnu ran. Soon, many Xiongnu people in this tribe rode their horses and fled in all directions in panic.
Because they were prepared, they escaped in time and quickly!
Tian Mo led his army and left behind less than a thousand corpses before ending the battle!
This situation was not out of Tian Qiong's expectations. His army was a well-equipped elite, so it would be too easy for them to defeat this tribe.
After the army rested here for a while, Tian Qiong led the army and continued on their way!
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Xiongnu armies had yet to catch up and destroy as many Xiongnu tribes as possible to expand the results of his battle. Otherwise, when the Xiongnu armies surrounded him, he would have no chance!
On
the grassland about a hundred miles away from the Han army, General Zuo led the army and galloped forward.
At this moment, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy. His eyes were blood-red and his killing intent was lingering!
He had already led his army to pursue the Han army for three days and three nights!
However, he still could not catch up!
The cunning Han army kept changing their direction, causing him to miss several times!
Not only that, but he had also received bad news continuously in the past two days!
The news of several tribes being attacked, the Gui Rong Tribe had been killed by the Han army, and thousands of people had been killed. The Xu Gui Tribe had also been attacked, and more than a thousand people had been killed
…
"Damn it!"
"Look at you, where can you escape to?”
General Zuo was furious. The fighting power of this army was far beyond his expectations. He did not expect that a tribe of three to four thousand people would be defeated by them.
How terrifying!
However, they could not be arrogant for long. Soon, the troops led by the leaders were about to form an encirclement. Once an army stuck to them, they would not be able to escape!
