"I haven't even found them to settle the loot from the second attack on Lian County yet, and they actually dared to take the initiative to attack. It seems like the lesson I taught them wasn't enough.”
Chu Feng's gaze sank as he said to the deputy general,""Go back and tell Liu Fei to monitor the movements of the Southern Xiongnu army and guard Lian County. I will lead the army over later.”
"Yes!"
The deputy general accepted the order and turned to leave.
After he left, Chu Feng looked at Guo Jia and said,""I'll leave Fuping to you."
"Don't worry, Prefecture Lord."
Guo Jia took a sip of wine and waved his hand.
The corner of Chu Feng's mouth twitched. Why did these words sound so inauspicious?
However, he did not say anything more. He returned to the backyard and told Diao Chan and the other two that he was going to set out. He told them to stay in the residence and not run around.
Although Diao Chan was reluctant to let Chu Feng leave, she didn't say anything and only offered a kiss.
"It is said that the gentle land is the tomb of a hero. The ancients did not lie to me.”
Chu Feng sighed and muttered to himself as he walked out of the backyard.
Under Diao Chan's gentle attacks, there was a moment when he actually wanted to ignore everything else and just stay and enjoy it.
Fortunately, his willpower was relatively firm and he was not corrupted by this gentle environment.
He asked Li Lao Er to inform Huang Zhong. He brought the remaining 18 cavalry to the camp to gather the army, gather food, and prepare to set off.
Everything was ready and it was already close to noon. Chu Feng ordered his men to cook in the camp and fill their stomachs. After resting for a while, he led the army out.
As for Huang Xu, he had already been pulled into the dream realm once. In the future, as long as he was still in his own territory, no matter how far away, he could directly enter the dream realm.
Chu Feng had only brought the dreamers with him on this expedition.
After a day, the army successfully arrived at Lian County.
"My lord, the Southern Xiongnu army is still gathering and hasn't gone south yet.”
In the hall of the Lian County government, Liu Fei reported the current situation respectfully.
"It seems that they have sent quite a number of troops this time.”
Chu Feng's expression was calm as he tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at everyone."I have a crazy plan. Do you want to hear it?”
"Please speak, my lord." said Zhao Yun.
Dian Wei and Huang Zhong were also curious.
Chu Feng smiled." The northern part of Lian County should be the territory of the Southern Xiongnu's Left Virtuous King, Liu Bao. He has gathered so many troops at the border. His main camp, the Shan Yuting, will definitely be empty."
Instead of waiting for the Southern Xiongnu army to arrive, he might as well take the initiative to attack and kill Prince Xian of the Left.
This time, I will make the Southern Xiongnu suffer heavy losses.”
"Ambush the Chanyu Court and kill Prince Xian of the Left?”
Everyone was stunned. How bold did he have to be to come up with such an audacious plan?
However, their blood boiled very quickly. If they could succeed, they would definitely become famous.
"We will obey the lord's orders."
Everyone looked at each other and said.
Chu Feng nodded and continued," If we're going to launch a surprise attack, we have to move quickly. I'll only bring the Eighteen Scarlet Blood Cavalry and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry with me for this surprise attack. Han Sheng and Dian Wei, you two stay behind to guard Lian County.
This time, there would definitely be a large number of Xiongnu soldiers attacking Lian County. It would be difficult to defend Lian County with just Liu Fei and the 500 county soldiers.
Your mission is to hold back the South Xiongnu army as much as possible while guarding Lian County, so that they can't return to the Chanyu Court in time to buy us some time.
Huang Zhong will be the commander of the Lian County defense battle. You must listen to his orders.”
Even though Huang Zhong wasn't a very skilled strategist, he was clearly the most skilled in military affairs among the people who had stayed behind.
Liu Fei barely passed the test. As for Dian Wei, he was the type who obeyed orders. He himself did not have any strategies to speak of.
"Yes!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison.
Everything was ready. Chu Feng led the 18 Scarlet Blood Cavalry, Zhao Yun, and 800 Snowy Dragon Cavalry, as well as enough rations for three days, out of the east gate and took a detour.
Two days after they left, the 100,000-strong Southern Xiongnu army arrived at the city gates.
This time, they had come for revenge. They had gathered almost all of the troops under Prince Xian of the Left and vowed to flatten Lian County.
A moment later, the 10,000 Xiongnu vanguard launched a probing attack on Lian County.
"Dian Wei, lead the eight hundred Blood Red Guards out of the city and give them a show of strength.”Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Dian Wei accepted the order and led the eight hundred Blood Red Guards out of the city, setting up a battle formation in front of the moat.
"The Eighteen Scarlet Blood Cavalry and the Snow Dragon Cavalry didn't come?”
The vanguard general of the Southern Xiongnu was delighted. The only ones they feared were the Eighteen Scarlet Blood Cavalry and the Snowy Dragon Cavalry.
In order to guard against these two armies, more than half of the 10,000 vanguard troops were cavalry.
They did not expect to see a troop of hundreds of infantrymen. Although their armor looked exquisite, how could a few hundred infantrymen stop the charge of the South Xiongnu cavalry?
In his heart, he didn't put these hundreds of infantrymen in his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, the six thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen charged forward.
"General Huang, why don't I lead 200 cavalrymen out of the city to provide support?”Liu Fei suggested.
Facing the cavalry charge, they would either use the cavalry to deal with the cavalry or use the spearmen to form a square formation.
However, the 800 Red Blood Guards led by Dian Wei weren't spears. Could they stop these 6,000 South Xiongnu cavalrymen?
"No need!"
Huang Zhong shook his head.
Seeing this, Liu Fei did not insist.
Since the lord wanted them to follow Huang Zhong's orders, he would at most give some suggestions and not really go against Huang Zhong's orders.
Outside the city, Dian Wei looked at the approaching Xiongnu cavalry and said calmly,""Prepare the crimson crossbows."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Red Blood Guards raised their Red Blood Crossbows.
" Split into two groups and fire in turns!"
With Dian Wei's order, the 800 Red Blood Guards split into two groups of 400 people and fired arrows at the Xiongnu cavalry.
Although the range and power of their ballista bolts could not compare to the Red Pinion Guards 'bows and arrows, they were much more powerful than the light crossbows used by ordinary cavalry.
In addition to the ten years of training in the dream world, both the loading speed and accuracy were terrifying.
Four hundred crossbow bolts shot through the air. Immediately, miserable screams rang out one after another, and many Xiongnu cavalrymen fell off their horses.
Some of them died on the spot, while others were not killed by the arrows, but were trampled to death by their warhorses, who could not dodge in time.
When a cavalryman charged, they would die if they fell off their warhorses.
By the time the South Xiongnu cavalrymen had reached them, the Red Blood Guards had already planned four rounds of attacks. Before the two armies had even started fighting, the South Xiongnu cavalrymen had already lost seven to eight hundred men.
