Section 819 Yin Zhixian's decision
Tonight, the stars are shining.
Yin Zhi stood on a hillside in front of him, overlooking the mountains in the north.
His eyelids have been jumping since the afternoon.
Especially, when he saw three puffs of wolf smoke rising from the direction of Wuzhou in the afternoon, his mood was like falling into an abyss.
This was the agreement that the king of Zhelan made with him.
If the Zhelan tribe can't break through the road, they will light up three piles of wolf smoke according to the agreement, telling him that the breakthrough has failed and that he needs to reconsider the entire battle plan.
However, for some reason, Yin Zhixian's mood became heavier and heavier every second after seeing the three puffs of wolf smoke.
It's as if something calamity has happened.
"Could it be that the king of Zhelan has been defeated?" Yin Zhi thought in his heart, but then, he shook his head: "This is impossible!" β
In Yin Zhixian's view, the Han people may be able to curb the advance of the Zhelan tribe with their firepower and numbers, but how can they inflict heavy damage on them?
The strength of the Zhelan cavalry is recognized by the whole world.
From the time of Maudun Shan Yu to the present, how many enemies has this tribe with the nickname of Shan Yu Whip defeated? How many kingdoms have been trampled?
I can't count the numbers!
With the combat methods of the Han Dynasty and the clumsiness of the infantry, how could it be possible to inflict heavy losses on this powerful tribe?
Although, Yin Zhixian has been finding all kinds of excuses and reasons in his heart.
But the uneasiness in his heart is getting heavier and heavier.
He felt as if his chest was being pressed by a thousand pounds of boulders, extremely dull and uncomfortable.
"Can't leave!" Yin Zhixian finally couldn't bear this torment anymore, and said to a guard who had been standing behind him: "You take someone to the direction of Wuzhou overnight to reconnoitre." If you encounter the Zhelan tribe, just ask. Who is the commander of the Han army in Wuzhou? How many troops do they have? β
"Yes!" The guard knelt down. Kissed the dirt under Yin Zhi's feet, and then took dozens of horses and headed in the direction of Wuzhou.
The Huns were never afraid to march at night.
Even, the Huns often chose to attack the enemy's camp at night, taking advantage of the moonlight.
About half an hour later, when Yin Zhixian was about to return the account, under the moonlight in the distance. Dozens of horses are coming.
"Master!" Half an hour ago, he was sent to the north by Yin Zhixian, and the guards who contacted the Zhelan tribe turned over one by one, and knelt down in front of Yin Zhixian: "Something is wrong!" β
"What's going on?" Yin Zhixian hurriedly asked, he felt that something extremely terrifying might happen.
Or even a big event!
Otherwise, this guard should not have come back at this moment.
"Master, the minions were on the way and met a couple of Zhelan cavalrymen. Bring them back, or ask the owner to come and see it himself! "I don't dare to say more, I just kowtow.
The sense of uneasiness in Yin Zhixian's heart expanded again.
He walked up quickly and asked, "Where are they?" β
And then. Yin Zhixian saw seven or eight Huns who were in a mess and their faces were covered with blood.
As soon as these people saw him, they pounced. knelt on the ground: "The great Tu Lu, Zhelan is gone!" β
"What did you say?" Yin Zhi stepped forward with a frightened face. Grabbing one of them by the hem of his coat, he asked, "What the hell is going on?" β
But the man seemed to be crazy, crying and saying, "Tu Lu! The Oriran headquarters is all over! Those Han Dynasty people ......" his eyes were terrified. As if as long as he recalled the situation at that time, he would be hit by an all-round blow from the bottom of his heart to his body, he grabbed the braid on the back of his head and said in great pain: "Those Han Dynasty people are devils!" They are demons, demons crawling out of hell! β
Devil?
Demons crawling out of hell?
The Devil's Army, which can be recognized by the entire known world, the Zhelan Cavalry, is also considered to be the devil, a demon crawling out of hell.
What kind of terrible army did the Han Dynasty unleash?
"Zhou Yafu, are you and your Xiliu Camp already so strong?" Yin Zhixian thought with trembling in his heart.
In addition to Zhou Yafu, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and his fine willow battalion, Yin Zhixian really couldn't imagine that there were other people and armies in this world who could inflict heavy losses on the Zhelan tribe?
But he shook his head.
Even if it is Zhou Yafu, even if it is the Xiliu Battalion, it should not be even more impossible, and these Zhelan cavalry, who were not afraid of life and death in the past, regarded death as honor, and were proud of dying on the way to charge, have become such cowards and cowards in front of them!
If it weren't for the clothes and appearance of these people, they would indeed belong to the Zhelan tribe.
Yin Zhixian might have thought that these guys who were crying and crying in front of him, trembling all over, and even deranged were just slaves in a slave tribe on the grassland.
They are not even as good as slaves!
The slave was at least whipped and knew to go about his errands right away.
These guys, Yin Zhixian felt that even if he slashed them, it would be useless.
Their spirit, their courage, their soul and body, have collapsed.
They are no longer worthy to be called warriors.
Not even worthy to be called a human anymore!
"Where's the King of Zhelan?" Yin Zhixian asked nervously.
"The Great King......" Hearing this question, the Zhelan cavalry buried their heads deep in the grass: "The Great King died in battle......
"What!?" When Yin Zhi heard this, the whole person didn't stand firmly, and his body became shaky.
O King Zhelan!
This is the King of Zhelan!
The King of Zhelan, who is known for his brutality, blood, madness, and perversion!
The whip of Shan Yu suppressed the whole world, so that the hooves of the Huns from south to north, from east to west, the king of Zhelan from all over the world!
He actually died in battle!
How could he die in battle?
Who can kill him?
Yin Zhixian seemed to be smashed heavily on his body by dozens of hammers at this moment.
The whole person was immediately stunned, he even stopped breathing for a few seconds, and his brain went blank in an instant.
If it weren't for the Sulu clan, they wouldn't know the importance of the Zhelan tribe to the Xiongnu Empire.
As we all know, Shan Yuting has a troika.
Aries, Lou Fu and Zhelan.
However, in the eyes of the Xiongnu royal family. The Aries tribe and the Loufu tribe are not as important as the Zhelan tribe combined.
One might even say. Aries is annoyed with Lou, and compared with Zhelan. It's just an insignificant piece of garbage that can be discarded casually.
Without Aries and Lou Fu, the Huns also have countless spare tires such as Hujie, Hushe, Jinyang, and Hutu.
It's really not good, there are still the four major clans and the elite of the royal court headquarters who can replace their role.
But Zhelan is unique and irreplaceable!
Because, the Zhelan tribe is the backbone of the Xiongnu and the source of the Xiongnu's courage and heritage.
This tribe has been subjugated since the submission of Maudun Shan Yu. He has never been involved in any conspiracy against Shan Yuting, nor has he ever participated in any coup d'Γ©tat.
They loyally followed Shan Yu's Daxu and laid a solid foundation for the hegemony of the Xiongnu Empire.
Zhelan is here, the Xiongnu will always be strong and invincible.
If Zhelan is destroyed, then the entire Xiongnu will be hit hard.
From east to west. From south to north, on the vast prairie, the vast countries of the Western Regions, and the ice and snow in the east.
From the past. By now, countless people are ambitious and ready to move. The tribes that wanted to covet the throne of the Hun overlord were all Zhelan cavalry. Suppressed, deterred.
The Xiaoyue clan and the Qiang people of the Hexi Corridor. The Xianbei people in the east, the Wuheng people, and countless careerists within the Xiongnu.
Why did he obediently surrender in front of Shan Yuting's Daxu and didn't even dare to breathe?
Even, just say that he will pay as much tribute as he wants, and if he orders a tribe to move out of a certain pasture, he must move out!
It is because of the shadow of the Zhelan cavalry that firmly deters these tribes and careerists!
They were afraid, and Shan Yuting was angry, and used the Zhelan cavalry to crush them, to slaughter them, to plunder them!
However, now, the Zhelan cavalry, folded halberds in the Han Dynasty.
Yin Zhixian can already imagine those careerists, the enemies of the Huns who are about to move.
I'm afraid they will no longer be at peace.
The cornerstone of the empire's hegemony has been shaken!
Yin Zhixian couldn't imagine how terrible the upheaval and turmoil would be if this news reached the grassland.
As the coach, as the person in charge of this southward operation.
If you lose the Zhelan tribe, you have no choice but to apologize for your sins with death!
However, this is not something to consider now.
Yin Zhi obliquely looked at these defeated soldiers of Zhelan, and said sharply: "The main battle is dead, how can you still have the face to come back?" β
These defeated soldiers were reprimanded by him like this, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Yin Zhi let out a long sigh.
If before, stabbed in front of the Zhelan cavalry?
Anyone other than Shan Yu will probably be squirted back by these guys.
In the dictionary of the Zhelan people, the eldest of the heavens, the second of the earth, the third of the single, and the fourth of them.
No one else will be taken into account by them.
But at this moment, they lowered their heads, even glared, even refuted, and even lost the courage to get up.
Yin Zhi shook his head obliquely, tried his best to calm down, and asked, "Say, tell me, what's going on?" How did King Zhelan die in battle? β
One of the routs looked up, trembling as he recalled the scene.
Then he shivered, and lowered his head deep on the ground, not even daring to recall the terrible scene in his memory, the god-like Han cavalry.
He felt that every time he remembered the scene he had witnessed.
That Han cavalry will go from memory to reality, appear in front of him, and then crush his entire body and mind again, crush it into slag, crush it into powder, over and over again!
Yin Zhi obliquely looked at all this and shook his head.
These are hopeless!
However, he still needs to get first-hand intelligence and information from them.
So, he slowed down his tone again and said softly: "It's okay, you're safe, don't be afraid......"
After being so appeased, he then asked: "Tell me, tell the great Xiongnu Right Sage King, what happened to the Zhelan headquarters?" How did King Zhelan die in battle? How many people were there in the Han Dynasty? What weapons did they use? β
A rout soldier barely mustered up the courage, wanted to recall, wanted to tell Yin Zhixian about the situation at that time.
But he soon found himself unable to do so.
As long as he remembered the scene at that time, the situation at that time.
He felt as if he had returned to that terrible hellish battlefield.
In front of the Han army. The devil's cavalry, in a dense formation. Ride after ride.
Terrible armor, glittering in the sun. He couldn't even open his eyes.
The long riding spears were held flat in their hands, and on the high helmets, the gorgeous crowns were colorful, spitting out cores like poisonous snakes, waving in the wind.
They swept in like a hurricane, and the devilish rumbling of horses' hooves echoed in his ears.
He saw his own tribal cavalry. I was pierced and smashed by these devils, the whole one.
Then, the survivors suffered an even more terrible catastrophe.
The devil cavalry of the Han Dynasty, wielding sabers, rampage through the formation.
The lives of the cavalrymen were harvested like grass by them.
"Devil! Devil...... The devil is coming...... Run for your life......" He opened his eyes in horror as the demons rushed towards him.
Glittering armor, long riding spears. There was also a sharp saber, in his pupils, as if it was about to jump out.
He was so frightened that he fell to the ground, curled up. Hold your head.
"The Devil...... Devil...... Don't come and kill me, don't! β
Apparently, he was crazy.
Yin Zhi obliquely looked at this scene. Took a deep breath.
As a soldier, a commander-in-chief. The head of a clan, he knows it well. To be able to scare a madman crazy, what a terrible hellish scene it would take him to go through.
But because of this, Yin Zhixian urgently needed to know, what kind of magic did the people of the Han Dynasty play?
If you don't know.
The next time, when the Han Dynasty people repeat their old tricks, they will be annoyed with Bai Aries and Lou Fu, and the remaining more than 30,000 people will all be tortured to death by them like they did against the Zhelan tribe.
As a result, he continued to encourage and reassure the other routs.
After driving four people crazy, one of the routs finally told some useful information.
"The devil of the Han Dynasty rushed to the king's Daxu, I saw Daxu fall, many people said, the king died in battle, and then, we fled......" The rout said something about the situation at that time.
However, this made Yin Zhi listen obliquely, and he was even more confused.
The devil rushed to Zhelan Daxu, and then, Daxu fell?
The whole army was in chaos, and countless people fled in all directions?
This scene was restored by Yin Zhi in his heart.
However, there is a question here - as far as Yin Zhixian knows, under the headquarters of the King of Zhelan, there are absolutely eight hundred elite Zhilan guards under the banner of Daxu.
Even if you don't care about the other more than 10,000 Zhelan cavalry, even these 800 Great Guards, it is enough to sweep a tribe of thousands of horsemen on the grassland.
Not to mention head-on hedging and hand-to-hand combat.
However, the so-called 'devil' of the Han Dynasty seemed to easily break through the interception of Zhelan's Great Guards, and even dispersed the entire Zhelan tribe.
Yin Zhixian really can't imagine, how did such a thing happen?
Unless, those Han people, are real devils, or divine soldiers.
Otherwise, no matter how Yin Zhixian thought, he couldn't think of anyone in this world who could easily and simply suppress the backbone of the Xiongnu and suppress the Zhelan cavalry of the entire Prairie tribe, and in front of the main force of their headquarters, directly crushed the Zhelan Central Army, and completely defeated them.
Even the deserters were scared like this.
"That's not good!" Yin Zhi sighed obliquely, he felt that he and his clan and his single dream prospect were gloomy.
The whole world, as if it had lost its color.
The Zhelan tribe was completely defeated by the Han Dynasty in less than a day, and may even be annihilated, and even its army Daxu was broken through, and the main general was killed in battle.
Then what do you have to resist?
What's even more terrifying is ......
Yin Zhi slanted at the lush earth in the moonlight.
He knew that tonight would not be very peaceful.
Zhelan's rout should be more than just these people in front of him.
This means that more defeated troops will take refuge in their own positions at night and tomorrow.
They will bring the defeat of Zhelan to everyone.
By tomorrow afternoon, all the Hun cavalry will know that Zhelan has been defeated and died.
This was a nightmare for all the Hun cavalry.
The morale of the whole army may even be at rock bottom.
Think about it, the invincible and powerful Zhelan cavalry is not the enemy of the Han Dynasty.
What will those slaves, those lower cavalrymen, think in their hearts?
"They're going to collapse like these Zhelan people in front of them!" Yin Zhi told himself in his heart.
And this is something that will definitely happen!
The Huns, for Zhelan, have the same confidence as a fan.
Even now, surrounded by the Han army, the whole army, even the slaves, are relieved after hearing that the main force of Zhelan has advanced north.
Everyone thinks that the invincible Zhelan cavalry will definitely break through the blockade of the Han army, and some people are even optimistic that the Zhelan cavalry will definitely be able to destroy the Han Dynasty army that does not know whether to live or die and tries to encircle and annihilate themselves!
How great is hope, and how terrible is the despair that comes when this hope is dashed!
"Go and invite the Aries King and the King of Lou Fu to come to my big tent to discuss matters!" Yin Zhi tilted his head and looked at the city in the distance that hid his figure in the darkness in the night.
Zhelan's defeat completely disrupted all his previous plans.
Especially just now, the news given by the defeated soldiers told him unmistakably.
The Han army that destroyed Zhelan was cavalry.
Only the cavalry can attack Zhelan's Chinese army.
Only cavalry can strike these Zhelan cavalry into the way they look.
The appearance of these routs undoubtedly told Yin Zhixian that they were completely defeated in the field where they were best at the most confident and proud, and all the pride and pride were trampled into the mud, and they stepped on 10,000 feet before what could happen.
Although Yin Zhixian didn't understand, how did that terrible Han cavalry do it?
In the head-on hedge, completely and completely clean ruthlessly defeated the strongest tribe of the Huns!
But in any case, these routs are not lying.
This means that the Han cavalry does exist.
It is not a myth, nor is it a legend.
It's reality.
This means......
When it finishes trimming, it appears on its own back with a large army.
Yin Zhi slanted at the world under the night.
He knew very well that once the situation developed to that point, he and his clan, as well as Aries and Lou Fu, would all be buried here!
At present, he and his tribe, as well as all the Huns who invaded south, have only one way to go - to do whatever it takes, to capture Mayi, and then, according to the garrison of the city, to wait for Shan Yuting to come to rescue, or to collect the corpse.
Moreover, if they can capture Mayi......
"I have a hostage...... Yin Zhi thought in his heart, he was far away from Chang'an: "The little emperor of the Han Dynasty, doesn't he like to brag the most, saying that he loves the people like a son?" This king used thousands of soldiers and civilians in Ma Yi as bargaining chips to force him to let me go back to China! β
Although, this idea made Yin Zhixian himself feel that it was a naΓ―ve, ridiculous and naΓ―ve method.
To any ruler, the people? Commoners? People?
Isn't that just a bunch of numbers, and names that don't matter?
Dead is dead!
No big deal!
However, Yin Zhixian knew that he and his tribe, as well as Aries and Lou Fu, had and only such a way to go.
There are also and only those who imagine this little emperor of the Han Dynasty as a ruler who loves the people like a son and regards the lives of his people as more important than everything else.
Otherwise, all the armies that went south would die without a place to be buried.
They will be encircled by the Han army on the battlefield of more than 200 miles near Mayi, little by little, little by little, little by little, little by little.
Even, the Han army didn't need to do anything.
Just fence it and tie your pockets tightly.
The Hun cavalry in the encirclement will also be slowly starved to death.
And to take Ma Yi, he only has one chance!
Yin Zhi tilted his head and stared at Ma Yi City.
"Tomorrow dawn, the whole army will attack!" He thought to himself.
He only had one chance.
If you miss it, you will never be able to capture Mayi. (To be continued.) )
