The climate on the grassland is changeable, separated by hundreds of miles, maybe it is different weather, but also different scenarios. At the junction between the grassland and the Han realm, the cold wind is biting and the sky is blazing. And in this place deep in the grassland, the warm sun is still shining, calm and peaceful.

The water of the Yellow River comes from the western plateau, and after flowing here, it forms a large zigzag shape, moistening the grassland with abundant water. Since the Xiongnu expanded more than 60 years ago, this place with abundant water and grass has become their deep hinterland.

Along the winding riverbank, the tents of the Xiongnu tribes gathered in this land within a radius of 100 miles. The hay that has withered and yellowed, undulating with the wind, and a large number of horses, cattle and sheep are grazing here. And because of the warm climate, although it is the depths of winter, the river does not freeze, some places are turbulent, some places are gentle, here after a big turn, and then flow to the southeast mightily.

It was almost noon, and a Xiongnu boy named Qiu Sha, like many others, was grazing cattle and sheep on the grassland. He was just seventeen years old this year, and he and his tribe had lived in the distant Gobi region in the northwest, and because of their meritorious service in supporting Dashan Yu Yi a few years ago, the princes of these tribes were trusted by Shan Yu Khan and allowed them to migrate here, which was also a gift.

The men of the steppe were born warriors, and since the time of their sensibility, they began to step on horseback, practice archery, and when they grew up, they would become qualified cavalrymen and begin to live a life of crusade in order to survive.

Most of the men from the nearby tribes went with the army this time, and only a few remained, responsible for protecting the area and their property, women, children, and the elderly.

Qiu Sha's horse kung fu is actually very proficient, and he really wants to go to battle with the army, but he didn't get the opportunity this time. Those elite cavalry who can fight are enough, and at his age, he will have to wait for another two years.

The days left behind, in addition to hunting and grazing, were somewhat monotonous and boring. Whenever he remembered the cavalry charges that the warriors of the tribe had talked about, a kind of excitement swelled up in the heart of the Hun boy, and he also wanted to taste the taste of killing and blood.

The wolf nature in the blood of the Huns is innate. In their cognition, it is a natural law that the law of the jungle is the strong, the strong deserve everything, and the weak deserve to be bullied. Although I dare not say that everyone thinks this way, most of them agree. At least that's what Qiu Sha thinks in his heart now.

The sun was warm on his body, and he lay on the south side of a high slope, lazily looking at the cattle and sheep in the distance, thinking about something aimlessly. There were clouds floating in the sky, the cries of cattle and sheep came and went, and the figures of those tribal tents entering and leaving more than ten miles away were faintly visible. It's calm from far and near, maybe it's time to go back to lunch, right? The Hun boy stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, and wanted to go to greet the cattle and sheep and hurry home.

Suddenly, in the direction of the wind, he seemed to hear a faint shout. I couldn't help but be stunned in my heart, and when I looked up in the direction where the shout came from, I saw two or three war horses galloping like flying, on the flat grassland, running towards this side.

Qiu Sha's eyes were very good, and he recognized it from a long distance, and several people on the horse were very familiar with it, it was the Hun cavalry of the tribe left behind. I don't know why they are running from a distance in such a panic, what is going on?

The Hun cavalry flew like horses, with a look of panic on their expressions, and almost fled in the direction of the tribe. As he passed by, one of them seemed to spot the boy standing on the slope and shouted, and then he didn't have time to stop and ran over with a loud shout.

Qiu Sha didn't hear what he was shouting at him, and turned his head in confusion. But then he was taken aback by the shouting they were running away.

“…… Han army invades! Prepare to meet the enemy...... Han army invades! Come on! They'll be there soon......! ”

If he hadn't heard clearly, he would have almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears. How is this possible? Han Army? How could the Han army run here!

Although Qiu Sha has not been on the battlefield, he has not dealt with the Han army. But he had heard the Hun cavalry in the tribe describe the situation of the war countless times, and the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were very weak and had never been the opponent of the Hun warriors. What's more, they lacked horses, and they simply couldn't run such a long distance.

With a half-believing attitude, he climbed up over his horse, turned the grassy slope to the west, and looked up into the distance.

Under the clear sky, the wind suddenly rose, blowing some dead grass and weeds flying everywhere. It seemed to come from a distant horizon, and as far as his eye could see, a black cloud fell to the ground, and just like that, swept everything, closer and closer, revealing its form!

Qiu Sha's face became bloodless in an instant. Although he experienced few things when he was young, he would not be wrong with such a galloping scene. He didn't know what to do, should he run away quickly, or find a place to hide? Time could not allow him to hesitate any longer, for the black clouds were coming very quickly, and in this moment, the roar of horses' hooves crushing through the grass could already be heard.

The Hun boy turned over and dismounted very decisively, and he couldn't care about his cattle and sheep anymore. He ran to the top of the slope as fast as he could, hiding in the middle of a patch of grass, staring at the movement in that direction without blinking, and his heart beating as if it were about to jump out of his throat. Everything he saw next would be a nightmare for the rest of his life!

The iron hooves finally broke through the tranquility of the grassland, like rolling thunder from a distance, and in less than half an hour, the iron horse of the Great Han rushed through the northern end of this grassy slope. Now you can clearly see the appearance of those black-robed cavalrymen in black armor, their whole bodies are wrapped in armor, they bow down on horseback, a black battle robe fluttering high behind them, the sword light is shining, with a momentum of shattering everything in front of them, straight towards the Huns' tribal tent gathering place.

After receiving the warning in advance, the Hun camp finally began to panic. Hundreds of the remaining Hun cavalry climbed on horseback and rushed out desperately, trying to temporarily block the incoming enemy's hooves with their own strength, and buy a little precious time for the tribesmen to flee.

However, their resistance is destined to be the end of the mantis arm blocking the car! The Black Hawk Army, who came here after a long journey, is wrapped in an irresistible spirit and will become the master of the fate of everyone here!

Sima Zhao Shiqi, who was appointed by the emperor to the Black Eagle Army, was also fully armed and neatly draped, and he galloped in the Chinese army on horseback, only a few horse's heads away from the general Wei Qing.

Although Zhao Shiqi can be regarded as a military general, seriously speaking, in the previous years, there were few opportunities to go to the battlefield in person. To be able to personally participate in this meaningful raid battle today, the excitement in his heart can be imagined.

Zhao Shiqi was a clever man who had given him a face-to-face lecture before the Emperor sent him to the Black Eagle Army. From those few words, he had already realized the emperor's intentions, and more deeply understood what kind of high hopes were placed on this cavalry that had already emerged in the emperor's heart.

If you can serve in such an army, you may face a great opportunity, or an unfathomable abyss, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and it is all up to you to grasp it.

Although he had not been in the army for a long time, he already knew this cavalry well with his rich experience. To put it in a fitting word, it is, the division of tigers and wolves!

In these days when Yunzhong County was recuperating and waiting for the fighters, the soldiers of the Black Eagle Army were eager to fight like tigers trying to break free from the shackles, waiting for the day when they would break out of the cage and become bloodthirsty. Especially after Wei Qing returned from Yanmen Pass, this atmosphere reached its peak in the whole army.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, in front of the seven leading captains in the army and some of the backbone of the Black Eagle Army, Wei Qing did not omit the slightest omission to tell in detail the details of the combat and the major victories achieved by their Black Eagle Army comrades.

Needless to say, Gongsun Rongnu and Zhang Cigong, who were personally led by Yuan Zhao, heard the proud achievements they had achieved all the way by following the little marquis, and the eyes of the seven captains led by Cao Xiang turned red with envy and jealousy. Moreover, what Wei Qing said lightly afterwards made them almost unable to sit still, and they couldn't wait to swing their swords and get on their horses immediately, and share their heights with the Hun cavalry!

I can't blame them for being in such a mood. Let's not talk about how lucky the two guys who followed Yuan Zhao were to get this opportunity to break into the grassland. Even Huo Quai's kid hasn't seen him for a few days, and he has made such a great contribution! Break through 10,000 horsemen with just 100 horses, show off your might to kill the enemy and capture the king!

The commander of the Black Eagle Army, Wei Qing, had a total of twelve captains, and ten of them went out with the army. They are Cao Xiang, Su Jian, Zhao Ponu, Gongsun Ao, Zhou Ba, Guan Xi, Han Yue, Gongsun Rongnu, Zhang Cigong, and Huo Quzhi. Now even Xiao Huo at the very end has made great contributions, and his own people have not made an inch, let alone killed a Hun, how can they be embarrassed by these seven-foot men? !

Therefore, after hearing that Wei Qing finally issued the order for the whole army to dispatch, the battle intent in everyone's hearts instantly soared to the extreme. It's finally time to fight! Moreover, it was to fight a battle that had never been fought before, and to raid the hinterland of the Huns in a roundabout 800 miles!

So, after the defenders of Yanmen Pass attracted all the Xiongnu troops of the two kings, 20,000 Black Eagle Army soldiers set off ambitiously. The excellent war horses that Yuan Zhao had cultivated with all his heart and soul and the cold-proof and warm cotton clothes and equipment that everyone had equipped with were finally of the greatest use at this moment. After two days and two nights of brave wind and cold journey, they finally came here, the winter pasture of the Huns, the Yellow River Hetao area.

Wei Qing put down his armor and pulled out the famous sword ink dye that Yuan Zhao gave him personally, and he was in the forbearance box for so long, and today he is finally going to release his own light! Ahead, the stronghold of the Huns, this undefended plain, has opened its arms to the iron hooves of the Black Eagle Army, and now, waiting for them to conquer ......!
