Text Chapter 127 Claiming the Soul for Your Life

Huyan, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, was an ambitious person. But his ambition is not to be a steppe khan, let alone a treasure beauty.

Lead 100,000 elite horsemen, dominate the world, cut the generals, and be invincible! That's his dream.

Although the grassland is vast, it seems that it is not enough to carry his ambition, and only the vast land of this neighbor to the south can be ridden to the fullest.

In this raid on Mayi, Huyandu and his men rushed back from the far west of the steppe. Just a few years ago, he led 10,000 iron cavalry to slaughter the Dayue clan at the foot of Qilian Mountain, and this neighboring country with 200,000 troops did not withstand this thunderous blow, and the remaining remnants were forced to move the country westward, giving up the land of abundant water and grass.

Now, the de facto king of the western steppes has come here again at the call of Da Shan Yu. If he can dominate the battlefield here, then his dream of crisscrossing the Quartet will come true step by step!

In the rolling torrent of thousands of horses, plains, hills, dense forests, and river valleys kept flashing, and they were left far behind. "Is it just to test the truth? Hum! ”

Thinking of the words of the national teacher before leaving, a sneer crossed the corner of Zuo Xianwang's mouth. Do you need to be told to do it yourself? Although there are not many people with you, it is enough to do a lot!

In his mind, this trip was nothing more than two outcomes. First, if it is true, as Zhang Zhongxing expected, that the Han army has set up an ambush on the way to the advance of the Xiongnu army, then Li Guang should lead the elite troops to take command, and there must be only one empty city left in Youbeiping. If so, here's a great opportunity!

Although he didn't bring any large-scale siege equipment with him, it was not impossible to suppress the defenders at the head of the city with a strong bow and then forcibly break open the city gate with a heavy armored giant tree when he had a huge advantage in troops.

If this time he broke through Youbeiping with the strength of this small part of the army, then this credit will be great! This is not comparable to the small city of Mayi.

Another possibility is that the Han people did not realize the intention of this trip at all, and their task was a bit boring. However, it was to force them to hand over the princess, and then Pegasus sent a message to Shan Yu's headquarters, and the army continued to attack Ma Yi as originally planned.

Huyandu was thinking about it, and suddenly looked up, and he could already see the city wall in the distance. He waved his wolf's tooth lance as an order, and the army slowly stopped two arrows away from the city.

It was not long after noon, the sun was very good, the vision was clear, and it was strange, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.

I saw the big city in front of me, the gate of the city was open, and there were four or five soldiers guarding the city lazily basking in the sun. There was silence inside and outside the gates, and there were no pedestrians.

Hu Yandu stabilized the war horse, and was a little suspicious in his heart, it stands to reason that when he saw the sudden arrival of the army, the Han army should panic and be on guard, how could there be no abnormal appearance at all?

When he gazed at the top of the city, he saw a few people pointing in the arrow tower. The stretching city wall is densely covered with flags, and the traces of armor and weapons are faintly revealed at the foot of the flags.

"There is fraud! This is definitely another trick of the Han Chinese! Huyandu's heart moved.

Although he is known as a brave general, he is not a brave and resourceless person. On the contrary, under the seemingly rude appearance, there is a careful mind.

The other party is Li Guang, a famous general known as the "Flying General"! Hu Yan didn't believe that he would be so lax in governing the army. At the moment of the great enemy, the soldiers are coming to the city, and the other party is not prepared at all, no one will believe such a thing.

"Could it be that Li Guang set a trap to lure this king into the city...... The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case. Thinking that he had seen through the other party's tricks, he couldn't help but sneer secretly, just this little trick is simply a waste of fame, and he claims to be a famous general in vain!

"However, is Li Guang himself in this city?" This is not only a matter to be determined by orders alone, but also a certain idea in his heart, he really wants to meet this famous Han Dynasty brave general, and fight it out!

And now the top and bottom of the right Beiping City Tower is a different situation. When the hidden thunder finally stopped, and the smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves cleared, everyone in the city saw the appearance of the invading enemy.

This is the real iron-blooded army, the blood stains on the leather armor and arrow feathers are still speckled, and the breath of killing seems to be felt from such a distance, a kind of fierce meaning makes people chill.

Cao Xiang swallowed his saliva with difficulty, looked back at the rest of the Yulinjun brothers, and found that their faces were the same as his own, and they were not good-looking.

Most of them have never actually killed anyone, and once the imaginary battlefield and enemy are actually presented in front of them, they realize that they are not brave enough. The Hun cavalry on the opposite side was different from the prey they had fought before, although they could not see their faces clearly from a distance, but the kind of fierce strength shown by men and horses alone was enough to make people frightened.

And Guan Xi, the young general who defends the city, is not much better than them, and in the cold weather of spring, he is already nervous and cold sweat is coming out. He had also shot the Hun rangers, so it wasn't that he was afraid of the other party's momentum, and it was only one death at most.

Now what makes him extremely remorseful and worried is why he agreed to the words of the little marquis in front of him in a quarter of an hour ago, and ordered the West City Gate to be opened!

If these tens of thousands of iron horsemen rush on horseback, it will be all over! Not to mention that the lives of these people defending the city are not guaranteed, it will be a catastrophe for the entire city! How ferocious the Huns really were, and what better could they know than the border troops they dealt with all year round?

It's just that it's too late to regret it now. He looked at the calm young man beside him again, and couldn't help but worship the gods and Buddhas in his heart, praying that these Huns would be turned into blind sparrows as the little marquis said!

Yuan Zhao took in the performance of everyone on the city wall, and sighed secretly, compared with the Huns, the Han army was not only inferior to war horses and weapons, but more importantly, it lacked a kind of courage to show its sword in the face of a strong enemy!

However, the dozen or so brothers of the Xiaocai Battalion who came with Wei Qing were not bad, including Zhang Qian, although they also looked solemn, but everyone went to the disaster with generosity and did not show any fear.

"Su Jian, Zhou Ba, Han Yue, Zhang Cigong, Li Wang, Gongsun Rongnu ......."

Yuan Zhao silently remembered these names. He looked down at the few people who volunteered to pretend to be guards at the city gate below, and was slightly moved, they took the initiative to accept this arrangement out of trust in themselves. Knowing the danger and generously going, you can be described as a brave man!

Suddenly, the desolate horn sound began to sound in the Hun cavalry formation, first one blow, then two, three...... Until a thousand come together!

There are two main types of musical instruments that have been passed down from generation to generation on the grassland, namely the beard and the horn. It is used to express emotions and convey meanings. In addition to memorials, welcomes, celebrations, etc., the role of the horn is to be used as a horn for the charge!

The Huns are about to attack!!

The city walls heard this terrifying trumpet, and everyone's faces turned earthy. Even Yuan Zhao couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, could it be that he had made a mistake in his judgment, and the one who led the troops was really a stunned young man who just rushed to kill? So how do you deal with it......?

Before there was a reaction from here, the horn was blown, but the Hun brigade did not see any signs of charging. I saw a war horse leave the battle and go straight to the city.

"Phew! The Han people in the city listened, the Great Hun Zuoxian King is here, and quickly call your lord Li Guang to come out to talk! ”

The horseman who came was a centurion, armed with a scimitar, and he was very arrogant in the open space outside the moat.

"Little Hou Ye, what should I do now? The general is not in the city, so I think it's better to close the city gate and guard it quickly! ”

Seeing that the Huns had no intention of attacking for the time being, Guan Xi wiped the cold sweat on his face and felt palpitations.

"General Xiaoguan, if there is an enemy with unknown intentions who breaks into the warning range of the city, how should we deal with it according to the military law of the Han Dynasty?"

Yuan Zhao ignored his nervousness, but asked indifferently.

"Shoot and kill! This is a strict order in the army. ”

Although he didn't know what he meant by asking, Guan Xi still answered truthfully.

As soon as the words fell, in the corner of everyone's eyes, the little marquis only raised his hand slightly, with a soft sound, accompanied by several exclamations, a cold light swept over the arrow stack like lightning, and flew away!

To be able to achieve the position of centurion in such a cavalry force, he is naturally a brave man on the grassland, but this centurion never dreamed that the Han army, which has always been forbearing, would release cold arrows without saying a word.

When a wisp of wind blew in his face, he only had time to see a little dark edge, and he didn't even have the consciousness to dodge, he had been pierced through his head by the crossbow, and even the iron helmet behind his head had penetrated, and he snorted, and when he fell off the horse, his feet were still in the stirrups, and the horse was frightened, and he screamed, and dragged the corpse back to the main formation.

Everyone in the city was taken aback and a little dumbfounded. This little marquis's courage is too great, and he is really ruthless, and before he can figure out the intention of the Huns, he first shoots the centurion who came to pass the word from the other party. If this angers those tiger and wolf riders, it will be ......!

Only Wei Qing looked at Yuan Zhaofeng's indifferent expression seriously, thoughtfully, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes.

According to the original intention of Zuo Xian Wang Huyandu, if Li Guang is indeed in the city, it is best to find a way to provoke him to come out and fight alone with himself, whether he can kill him or not, it is worth the trip.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't even say a word, and killed the person he sent with one arrow.

Huyandu was furious in his heart, and the Hun knights were even more excited, and the thoughts that surged in their hearts for a moment wanted to order the charge.

But when he took a closer look at the centurion's fatal wound, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

It is clear that he died from arrow wounds. However, the person who fired this arrow is too powerful! With an arrow through the brain, even an iron helmet can shoot through, and when it comes to this strength, he, the first brave general of the grassland, can't do it.

There is only one person in the world, the flying general Li Guangye!

With the power of this arrow alone, Huyandu no longer suspected that Li Guang must be among the people at the head of the city. Moreover, such a demonstrative murder must have been intended to provoke him to lead his troops into the city, so as to fall into the trap he had already set!

"Humph! How easily can this king fall into your calculations? Thinking of this, he completely dismissed the idea of attacking the city.

Although Hu Yandu was not convinced by Li Guang's prestige, he did not dare to despise him at all in his heart. The name "Flying General" was not earned out of thin air! Since the other party has already prepared, of course he can't go to death in vain.

Huyan turned around and ordered, bring the Han envoy up. It seems that the second plan mentioned by Zhang Zhongxing can only be implemented.

After half a day of marching back and forth, Sun Lian was already tired, but when he heard King Zuoxian's request clearly, the official of the Han Honglu Temple straightened up, his expression was serious, and his words were magnificent.

"Do you want to take my princess Hanlian to Da Dan Yu Xing? This is absolutely not possible! The holy order that this envoy received when he came was to let you come to Beiping to pick up your relatives, so I forgive you for your fate! ”

"Oh, is it? Then don't blame the king for being ruthless! ”

The sword light flashed, reflecting the hideous face of Zuo Xian King Huyandu. Someone's head flew up, and blood splattered ...... the land of the Han family.
