Chapter 158 Closing the Net (two-in-one chapter)

The frontier defenders used 10,000 elite troops to attack more than 30,000 Hun cavalry formations, as if a mountain collapsed and a tsunami was in a tsunami.

"kill!"

As soon as the two cavalry collided, countless war horses whine because of the violent collision. Innumerable knights fell down from the war horses and were trampled to death by the war horses that followed.

The battle between the two sides instantly became white and fierce. The horses were yelling and howling and crying. The dull sound of war drums mixed with the long horn sounds formed a symphony on the battlefield.

"Puff!"

Hu Lie waved his spear in his hand and pierced the body of the Huns on the opposite side. Before he could draw out his weapon, he saw another Hun cavalry rushing towards him.

The tip of the spear emitting a cold and cold light pierced directly towards Hu Lie's heart.

At this time, Hu Lie had just left the new power and had not arrived. He wanted to completely avoid the attack of the spear, and there was almost no possibility.

At the battle between the cavalry, there was only one outcome when the cavalry was injured and fell off the horse, that was, they were trampled into flesh and bones, and their flesh and blood were entangled with the enemy.

Hu Lie was still in a fierce and fearless charge at the beginning, but when he was facing death, he actually felt a little fear in his heart.

"puff!"

Just as Hu Lie struggled hard and wanted to avoid the spear stabbed by the Hun cavalry, an arrow suddenly shot from a distance and directly penetrated the throat of the Hun cavalry.

"Ho ho!"

The Hun cavalry raised his spear's hands high and immediately lost all his strength. He drooped softly, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground.

He wanted to shout out his unwillingness, but unfortunately all he heard was the sound of "hoho".

"Plop!"

Finally, the Hun cavalry fell to the ground, and his body, which had not yet completely lost its vitality, was still convulsing.

"Tait!"

The tragic and large-scale war will not stop at all because of the death of the Hun cavalry.

The Hun cavalry that followed closely followed continued to drive their horses towards the Zhao cavalry. When many war horses charged, their horses either kicked the horse's hooves or trampled directly on the man's body.

Not long after, the Hun cavalry who was still energetic just now was soon trampled beyond recognition. Even his mother stood in front of her, she could not recognize that the pile of rotten meat lying on the ground was her own son.

"Qi, thank you. Next time I will give you all that I will give you!"

Hu Lie, who had escaped from death, turned his head and looked in the direction where the arrow was shooting. He saw Qi holding a bow and arrow, nodding at him, with an inexplicable expression on his face.

Hu Lie, who has been with him for a long time, still doesn’t know that Qi is warning himself that he needs to be cautious on the battlefield and should not be impulsive and careless?

Hu Liezheng nodded heavily, then pulled out the spear that penetrated the enemy's body, followed the large army, and continued to rush forward.

The fierce battle continued.

What shocked Zuo Xianwang was that more than 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry and more than 10,000 Zhao cavalry did not gain any advantage.

But soon, Zuo Xianwang knew where the problem occurred.

Although the Hun cavalry was large, it was finally formed by more than a dozen tribes. Even if they were nominally owned by the alliance, the leaders of each tribe still had some selfishness and were unwilling to let too many warriors die in their tribes.

The mutual shirks, resulting in the combat effectiveness of more than 30,000 Hun cavalrymen was greatly reduced. It is not surprising that such a situation can occur.

This fierce battle lasted for half an hour, and there were no more than 2,000 casualties on both sides.

At this moment, a horn sounded suddenly north of the Manhan Mountain, and instantly suppressed the sound of war between the two sides.

"This is the unique horn sound of the Right King and the Central Royal Court!"

It was precisely because the Zuo Xianwang, who was stalemate with the Zhao army, heard the sudden sound of the horn, and was immediately overjoyed.

When Li Mu led more than 10,000 elite cavalry to arrive here, Zuo Xianwang no longer hoped to be able to take over Zhu Wenze's cattle and sheep. He only hoped that reinforcements could arrive in time and help him defeat the cavalry under Li Mu, and then returned to the frontier smoothly with the cattle and sheep.

"Retreat, send my orders, retreat in an orderly manner!"

Li Mu also changed his face and shouted loudly to the soldiers beside him, signaling the other party to call on the Jin to withdraw his troops.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The so-called military orders are like a mountain. When the sound of gold sounds, the cavalry of Zhao, who were already a little red-eyed, dared not fight, and fought and retreated to the Mount of Barbarians.

"The whole army pursues, don't leave those Zhao people!"

When King Zuo Xian learned that reinforcements had arrived, he would not give up and shouted that the leaders of various tribes would lead their troops to pursue them.

The defeat was like a mountain of defeat.

When Li Mu issued a retreat order, the defeat of the Zhao cavalry was unstoppable, and the Xiongnu cavalry followed behind and killed nearly a thousand people soon suffered casualties.

Li Mu seemed to be panicked and did not send anyone to cut off the rear. He hid on the Barbarian Mountain with the remaining Zhao cavalry.

Fortunately, there were two thousand frontier defenders stationed here, and a large camp was opened to accommodate the remaining thousands of cavalry.

Zuo Xianwang and others chased to the gate of the camp. Looking at the camp with close defense on the mountain, although they were unwilling to accept it, they still did not launch a strong attack.

"Tait!"

At this moment, the Zuo Xianwang saw the flags of Shanyu and the You Xianwang, and the dense cavalry that could not see the end behind them.

"Zuo Xianwang, can I wait for it in time?"

The rough voices came from far to near, and it was the Xiongnu Chanyu who led the Right Xianwang and the leaders of various tribes who rode horses towards the Left Xianwang.

Facing these two important figures, even if they are as proud as Zuo Xianwang, they dare not put on airs.

"The Shanyu came in time. Otherwise, the cattle, sheep and herdsmen in the mountains and fields would not be taken out of the Great Wall. Even if we were tens of thousands of tribe warriors, we would have lost a lot."

The Xiongnu Chanyu's face moved slightly and asked, "Is it true that cattle and sheep are everywhere in the fields, and there is no limit to see?"

When the Youxian King and the other tribe leaders heard this, they looked at the Zuoxian King, with an expectation in their eyes.

"When I take you to Zhuwenze, after you really see the cattle and sheep, you will no longer have any suspicion."

"It is precisely because there are too many cattle and sheep that if they are all plundered by us, Zhao State will be unable to bear such losses at all. This makes Li Mu, who has always been timid and afraid of fighting, have to muster up the courage to fight with me."

"Although he relied on the power of Shanyu and others to defeat the cavalry under Li Mu, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Mu will not continue to recruit troops from various counties to assist in the war."

"I wonder how many men did you bring to you when you go south this time?"

When the Huns Chanyu heard this, he laughed and said, "Lord Zuo Xian, but please rest assured. In order to allow all tribes in the alliance to survive this winter, I joined forces with the Right Xian, and almost brought all the warriors outside the border to go out."

"Not to mention the soldiers and horses of the four counties in the northern border, even if General Zhao and the whole country gather here, we are not afraid at all!"

When Zuo Xianwang heard this, his eyes were behind the Xiongnu Khan. The leaders of various tribes glanced at one after another, and there was a look of shock on his face.

He did not expect that the Huns' tribes would actually be dispatched in full force this time.

But soon, Zuo Xianwang was also very happy.

After so many tribes, although the spoils that Zuo Xianwang received were greatly reduced, it also ensured that countless cattle and sheep would be brought back to the frontier without any damage.

King Zuo Xian believed that relying solely on the Zhao army in the northern border, it would never be the opponent of more than 100,000 Hun warriors.

It would be fine if Li Mu knew the situation. If he really dared to hit the stone with an egg, Zuo Xianwang would not mind defeating Li Mu's troops first, then leading troops to capture the Yanmen County headquarters, and abducted all the Zhao people in Yanmen County and distributed them to various tribes as slaves.

Not only did Zuo Xianwang have this idea, when more than 100,000 Hun troops gathered, all the tribe leaders were a little inflated. Li Mu, who did not feel cowardly, dared to oppose him and others.

"I heard that Zhu Wenze is a very large saltwater lake. Can buffaloes and sheep be drunk in the lake?"

The Right Xianwang changed the topic.

This time, the Huns almost ran out in full swing, and the grass and water consumed by the war horses were extremely large. The war horses rushed to the place with fast horses, and the war horses were already hungry and thirsty.

Although the water and grass are lush by the lake, everyone does not know whether there is fresh water in the canyon that can provide fresh water for war horses to drink.

When Zuo Xianwang heard this, he laughed and said, "Although the lake is a saltwater lake, there are several rivers and streams gather here, so there is naturally no problem with drinking water."

"I think you are already exhausted. You might as well take your troops and horses into the canyon first to repair them. After the horses are full and drink, it will not be too late to return to the outside world!"

Everyone agreed.

At this time, the leaders of various divisions did not care about the Zhao camp that was close to each other, and did not take Li Mu and his cavalry seriously.

The more than 100,000 Hun cavalry dispatched in full swing are indeed enough to look down on the world.

What's more, Li Mu was still the kind of infamous, timid and afraid of fighting, and he would not care about the leaders of the Huns' tribes.

that's all.

The Hun cavalry ignored the Zhao army camp and roared away in an extremely arrogant manner. The dust raised by the war horses was enough to cover the sky and the sun.

On the Barbarian Mountain.

Zhao Jia, who was closely watching the situation at the foot of the mountain, saw that the Huns were so bold and reckless, and he was not worried that Li Mu would cut off his retreat. He led almost all his troops into the canyon and was stunned.

"General, why did the Huns underestimate the enemy so much?"

A smile appeared on Li Mu's face.

"If there are less than 10,000 defeated soldiers under my command, can it pose a threat to more than 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry, and can it cut off the wide passage between the Barbarian Mountain and the canyon where Zhu Wenze is located?"

Zhao Jia frowned and thought for a while, and shook his head.

Li Mu originally had more than 10,000 elite cavalry under his command, but when he was fighting with Zuo Xianwang, both sides suffered losses. When he later retreated, Zuo Xianwang's troops took the opportunity to kill nearly a thousand cavalry of Zhao Kingdom.

Although this loss is difficult to accept, it is also a necessary bait.

Now, in the eyes of Zuo Xianwang, the less than 10,000 cavalry under Li Mu was already a defeated army. With the arrival of the Huns reinforcements, Li Mu, who was timid and afraid of fighting, would never dare to start the war lightly.

As for the junction of the canyon where Manhan Mountain and Zhu Wenze are located, it is a flat land that is twenty miles wide. It is impossible to cut off the retreat of the Huns in a short time if it only relies on less than ten thousand people of Zhao cavalry.
