Chapter 58: Going South(2/2)

Zhou Yang sent many detailed works to investigate the movements of the Huns. The military minister Shanyu had already reported to him.

"Flying General, don't be anxious." Cheng Buzhi waved his right hand and tried very hard: "Autumn has arrived, and the Huns will definitely come. When autumn is high and yellow, the war horses will be fat, and the Huns will be the most powerful when the Huns fight. This time, the Huns are coming to avenge their shame. They must be coming with great force and should not be underestimated."

Although Zhou Yang had tens of thousands of crossbows in his hand, there were still too few to deal with the 500,000 Xiongnu army. If there were so many powerful crossbows that Meng Tian used in the Battle of Hetao, this problem would be easier to deal with.

At that time, Meng Tian used tens of thousands of Qin crossbows alone, and with other crossbows, there were more than 50,000. Not to mention fighting, just hearing this number would be shocking.

Cheng didn't know this and hit the nail on the head. Zhou Yang nodded and said, "We have been looking forward to this battle for a long time, but we must not underestimate it."

"I wonder when the Huns will take to go south?" Li Guang couldn't help rubbing his hands: "Come quickly! My big yellow bow hasn't drunk the blood of the Huns for many days!"

"Master!"

Just as Li Guang's muttering sounds, Zhao Ponu quickly stepped in, sweat hanging on his face, and he couldn't help but breathe. He knew at a glance that he had galloped for a long time.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yang asked.

"Master General, the Huns are here!" Zhao Ponu reported while panting.

"Come?" Li Guang stood up suddenly and clenched his fist hard: "It's good that he's here! It's good that he's here! I, Li Guang, want him to arrive early!"

In contrast to Li Guang's happy expression, Zhao Ponu looked solemn: "Master, Shanyu made a bloody oath this time, saying that he would be able to hunt Chang'an."

"Blood oath?"

Li Guang's joy froze on his face, and he couldn't believe his ears: "Did the Huns have sweared blood?"

"That's right." Zhao Ponu affirmed.

The joy on Li Guang's face disappeared in an instant, with a solemn look on his face: "The Huns' blood oath is rarely used, and it may not be used once in a hundred years. Shanyu actually made a blood oath, that is, there is no return, and he goes forward bravely. Even if the Huns are defeated, they will not retreat. This battle is difficult to fight!"

On the battlefield, what is the hardest to deal with? It is the hardest to deal with people who are desperate for life.

On the battlefield, as long as you want to survive, you may be afraid to fight. Once you are defeated, the Huns will run away. However, as soon as the blood oath comes out, the Huns will fight to the death. Even though they know they are dead, they will rush forward. Their combat power has increased several times compared to usual, which is terrible.

With the current strength of the Han army, if the 500,000 Huns did not give up a blood oath, victory would not be a problem. However, once the blood oath was made, it would be a problem whether the Han army could win.

Li Guang and Cheng Bushi fought with the Huns for a lifetime, and knew very well what the blood oath meant to the Huns. Their expressions were solemn. They looked at Zhou Yang and asked, "Master, what should we do?"

Zhou Yang frowned and thought, "The blood oath can certainly increase the combat power of the Huns, making this battle difficult to fight. However, this is also a good thing. The Huns have the will to die, and they will fight without regard for life and death. This instead gives us a chance. As usual, even if we win, we will not be able to catch up without cavalry, and the results are often not great. Once the blood oath comes out, the situation will change. As long as we fight this battle well, the Huns will definitely suffer heavy casualties and injuries. Without five or seven years of rest, it is impossible to recover."

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Blood vows to prevent the Huns from taking care of life and death, but it also gave the Han army a good opportunity to annihilate the Huns in large quantities.

Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Feng Jing, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Wuhui and others clenched their hands into fists and kept waving: "The General is right! The Huns are here, how can we miss such a good opportunity!"

"Master, how to fight this battle? Give an order!"

Everyone stared at Zhou Yang, their eyes full of anticipation.

Zhou Yang did not speak, but his pupils shrank into a line, and his right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and his murderous aura suddenly appeared.
