The mobilization of the army and the supply of supplies, especially the supplies for the cavalry, were even more complicated. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already made preparations, it would still take a few days.
During this period, Emperor Wu summoned Huo Qubing and Sister Zhou to Weiyang Palace.
There was no one around.
Liu Che looked at the nineteen-year-old Huo Qubing and said straightforwardly," For this battle in the west of the river, I gave you ten thousand elite soldiers. To put it bluntly, I want you to teach the Xiongnu a lesson and see how deep the river in the west corridor is."”
"Do you understand?"
Huo Qubing revealed an honest smile," Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand."”
For some reason, even though Huo Qubing had agreed, Han Wudi felt that something was wrong when he saw the smile on Huo Qubing's face.
“……”
Three days later.
Longxi.
This place was located above the Wei River and had been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The area under its jurisdiction was extremely wide, and it was the sturdiest checkpoint of the Great Han Dynasty. Most of the troops and rations were transferred to Longxi!
At this moment, the wind was biting cold.
Longxi was located in the northwest, and the wind and sand were scorching hot. When they slapped their faces, they would always feel as if they wanted to gallop on their horses.
Looking down from the sky, a spectacular scene gradually entered their eyes.
About tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen were lined up in an offensive formation. They rode on muscular and powerful horses. The red pheasant feathers unique to Western Han soldiers on their helmets fluttered in the wind in the northwest.
In the formation, the black flags of the burly men fluttered in the strong desert wind every ten men.
The Western Han Dynasty inherited the strong Qin Dynasty, and the soldiers 'armor was still the same black and red that the Great Qin Dynasty advocated. This Great Han cavalry had a red dress and a black armor on it!
This was also a great manifestation of the Great Han's elite soldiers. All elite soldiers had to have black armor. Compared to the Xiongnu's hide and other protection, the two were simply indescribable.
There was no doubt that this was a group of elite cavalry. At this moment, this well-trained and brave elite cavalry was quietly standing behind a person. Their faces were fanatical as they stared at the back of a person, and the young man's face gradually became clearer.
He had distinct features and a heroic bearing. He carried the arrogance and sharpness unique to a youth, and there was also a pride that was almost carved into his bones.
Huo Qubing was riding a tall horse, wearing a red cloak, wearing armor and holding a long spear. Behind him were ten thousand burly elite cavalry.
"Let's go!"
As Huo Qubing's cold voice rang out, he took the lead and stepped onto the scorching land of the northwest. The burly man's elite cavalry also slowly followed, like a black steel torrent.
A murderous aura swept out.
At this moment, even the air seemed to have become hot and murderous!
Sister Zhou was dressed in the uniform of a soldier of the Han Dynasty. Her long hair was tied up in a bun and she wore an official hat as she followed beside Huo Qubing. Her fair and tender face was blown by the northwest wind and sand until she could not open her eyes.
However, Sister Zhou's eyes were filled with excitement.
This was her first time going out with the army. This feeling was completely different from the last time Huo Qubing and Wei Qing returned. Instead, the entire army was filled with a murderous aura!
This was the aura of an expedition!
The live broadcast room was also shocked.
"Sister Zhou is too fierce. She actually went out with the army. Awesome!”
"However, Sister Zhou, you should be careful. The battlefield is ruthless. Leave your life for your brothers to broadcast properly.”
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that this time, we are just testing how deep the water in the Hexi Corridor is. There shouldn't be any big problems.”
"Hehe, I suggest you check the historical records upstairs. Although this time it can't compare to the Battle of Hexi in the summer, it's still a mess!”
"What the f * ck? Didn't he ask General Huo Qubing to test the waters? Could it be that something happened during this period that we don't know about?”
The bullet comments in the live broadcast room rolled. At this moment, many netizens were a little dumbfounded.
They had heard with their own ears that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was testing the waters, but when they checked Huo Qubing's battle results, they could not help but be dumbfounded.
Sister Zhou did not care at all." Brothers, why are you thinking so much? The host is broadcasting the entire process. We will know what happened sooner or later. Now, I will let you all be shocked with the host."
As she spoke, Sister Zhou looked back. Immediately, the murderous aura that belonged to the 10,000 Great Han Iron Cavalry swept towards the people in the live broadcast room.
This was especially so when they felt the oppressive aura of the Great Han cavalry face to face, causing everyone to suck in a cold breath.
"F * ck, these 10,000 cavalrymen are so terrifying. I won't dare to underestimate Sister Zhou in the future. If I were here, I would probably be kneeling!”
"Add one! I'm afraid I'll pee!"
If one didn't witness this scene, they wouldn't know the pressure that came from the bottom of their hearts!
Xu Zhenguo could not help but mutter," This is the Han Army, this is the Han Army in my heart!!!”
"The Great Han Iron Cavalry truly live up to their reputation!”
"Maybe we'll know how Huo Qubing fights this battle later!”
The old man's face was filled with excitement, and his turbid old eyes suddenly erupted with endless light.
There was a controversy in the historical world regarding Huo Qubing's expedition route. After this live broadcast, there would no longer be any controversy!
Two days later, the army left Longxi. The further they left Longxi, the more they could feel the desolation of the frontier.
After marching for 60 miles.
Huo Qubing looked into the distance, as if he could clearly see the Xiongnu tribes through time and space. The corners of his mouth curled into a cruel smile as he said,
"Pass on my orders. The entire army will rest for an hour. Tell Li Gan and the others to quickly come and see me to discuss the battle plan!”
Everyone in the live broadcast room was shocked.
Soon, Li Gan and the other generals arrived in front of Huo Qubing.
The Great Han generals did not have many rules. They directly sat on the ground and gathered together.
Sister Zhou stood behind Huo Qubing.
"General of the Flying Cavalry, just say it. Which tribe should we attack first?!”Li Gan's face was filled with killing intent as he said excitedly.
As he shouted, the other generals also became excited.
"General of the Flying Cavalry, we will charge wherever you say!”
"According to the information, there is a Xiongnu tribe of about 3,000 people less than 50 kilometers away from our army. Do you want to massacre them?”
Everyone said excitedly.
In the live broadcast room.
"There's a prize for the guessing game. Where do you think it will be played?”
"I feel that what these people say is wrong. How can a genius general take the ordinary path?”
"Haha, the person above is right!”
At this moment, Huo Qubing looked at the simple map drawn by the army and smiled.
"I don't plan to attack these tribes. If I want to do it, I'll do it big!”
"I plan to avoid the tribes along the way. First, I will cross the Yellow River through the Lan Zhou Chain Bridge. Then, I will go to the Wu Ni River and march along the north of Wushaoling. I will enter the Hexi Corridor. Then, I will make a long-distance attack along Wushaoling and kill my way to the vicinity of Yanzhi Mountain before turning around and launching a surprise attack!”
The young man's confident and cold voice rang out with satisfaction.
But in an instant, Li Gan and the others were all dumbfounded.
They looked at each other.
Yanzhi Mountain was thousands of miles away from here, and that was the hinterland of the Xiongnu. But didn't these ten thousand people come to the Hexi Corridor to test the waters?!
Did he test the waters directly to the hinterland of the Xiongnu?？？
If anything were to happen there, the ten thousand of them might not even be able to return.
Instantly, they were dumbfounded.
