Chapter 473: Interception

Liu Yuan looked back, the banner was still being displayed, and the soldiers and horses were as dense as ants, and it seemed that the entire valley had been filled, but if you counted carefully, the number of men and horses was actually only a few thousand - this was the only little force in his hand at this time.

When he entered the world of rivers and lakes, Liu Yuan's age was old, although his life span was still very long, but it was impossible to rejuvenate himself!

Liu Yuan, who is nearly sixty years old, has gray hair, thick eyebrows and long eyelids are pressed, half-squinted, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes are like deep ravines, his dark face is full of wrinkles, as if it is a field that has dried up for a long time, and his face is calm and usual, but his tightly closed mouth has revealed the tension in his heart.

Since the day's white surprise attack and the destruction of the 100,000 Xiongnu army in the First World War, he has been on the run for a long, long time, and he almost forgot how long he had fled!

With dim eyes, staring at the enemy in the east, there were tens of thousands of Central Plains people, heavy cavalry troops with horses and lances, light cavalry troops with bows and bows, and heavy infantry with armor and knives, and the army of the Central Plains people was connected from one end to the other in this unknown valley, completely blocking Liu Yuan's way back.

Liu Yuan, as the Huns, mobilized 100,000 soldiers and horses is just a trivial matter, and he can at least mobilize five times the military strength of the Xiongnu tribes, but at this moment, all he can rely on is these thousands of frightened birds around him!

Liu Yuan secretly hated himself for being too greedy for merit this time, and fell into the strategy of the Central Plains, if he was not careful this time, he would probably be buried here, and he died, no matter which of his sons ascended the throne, he would definitely not resurrect him, and even if it was a battle for the throne, the civil war was too much, and maybe it would be destroyed by foreign enemies in one fell swoop.

Liu Yuan led the southern expedition, the original intention was to find a way out for the Huns, originally thought that the Central Plains people were weak, he may not be able to occupy a state in the Central Plains, wouldn't it be better than fighting with Mao Dun and others on the grassland, waiting for the development of relying on the Central Plains people, it may not be impossible to counterattack back, sit on the Hun king.

However, now that everything is empty, he can't even save his own life now!

Thinking of Bai Qi's rush to kill that day, I couldn't help but tremble, and the murderous aura of the killing god is still scared when I think of it!

Bai Qi 30,000 cavalry rushed into battle, and destroyed the Hun camp in one fell swoop, when the morning sun was rising, the Sui army in Shuofang City also came out with all the army, and the war swarmed!

The Huns were crushed for thousands of miles, scrambling to flee for their lives, and Liu Yuan's sons all scattered in a hurry with their own tribal guards, and their sons were like this, not to mention those tribes under them!

Liu Yuan also had no power to return to the sky, so he could only break out of the encirclement under the protection of the guards, but half of the two thousand guards were killed!

The Xiongnu banner was erected on the road, but some defeated soldiers were recruited, and the current strength has not yet reached 5,000, but Liu Yuan did not dare to delay, he knew that it would be in vain to wait any longer!

It is impossible for many defeated soldiers to escape, through the eagle in the sky, he has already seen that Bai Qi not only has only 30,000 men and horses, but also a few cavalry cruising outside, and there are about 10,000 or 20,000 people, just to encircle and intercept those defeated soldiers!

Liu Yuan had an eagle to explore the sky, and he escaped the pursuit one after another, like the help of the gods, but it also restored some morale to this army of soldiers and horses!

When he took thousands of soldiers and horses to chase and stop, twists and turns, and spent more than ten days to come to a valley due east, this valley is rich in water and grass, enough to cultivate!

Not far to the southeast of the valley, there is a small city fifty or sixty miles away, and if this small city has the opportunity to plunder, it will be enough for the return trip!

This is thousands of miles away from the return trip, there are a lot of supplies needed, always have to grab some, when this way comes, they have been robbed, it is difficult to go back and want to grab again, but it is just right to grab the Central Plains people at this time!

But after only staying for one day, before he could explore the reality of the city, early the next morning, he found an ambush of about 10,000 Central Plains people, blocking his way back.

Now where Liu Yuan and his army are located, it is about three hundred miles away from Shuofang City, which does not seem to be close, but in fact it is a half-day journey for the elite cavalry.

For the infantry army, it is the most elite day, that is, it is good to be able to travel more than 100 miles, but the cavalry is different, the most elite cavalry is one person, two horses and three horses, and they are all thousands of miles of horses that can travel thousands of miles a day!

Liu Yuan has only walked more than 300 miles in more than ten days, which is indeed slow, but this is every day and every hour to escape the pursuit and interception of the Sui army, I don't know how far he has traveled to get here!

Out of the valley, it is the vast prairie, and when you get to the prairie, there is no natural danger to intercept at all, it depends on who runs faster on both sides!

But once the war starts at this time, the grassland is like the end of the world at this time, and the valley mouth is blocked, and it may not be able to rush out at all!

It's not that Liu Yuangao looks down on the people of the Central Plains, but that his own troops and horses have only been trying to escape for days, and the original configuration of one person and two horses is gone at this time, and most of them have been eaten!

If it is a return journey, the valley will be thirty miles before and after; There were at least five times as many fine horsemen in pursuit and encirclement on the retreat behind; I finally ran for many days in a row, and I didn't fight a single battle before I escaped here.

"Head...... Boss, what to do?! ”

"What's the panic? Isn't it more than 10,000 people from the Central Plains? See you scared? Back then, if I met these Central Plains people, they would have been done in one rush! ”

Liu Yuan impatiently scolded the frightened generals, the cowardice of the generals made the old and strong Liu Yuan get rid of the anxiety after falling into the trap of thieves, and his will was strengthened again, if the morale caused by the enemy's trap was removed, in fact, what bothered Liu Yuan was only twice as many enemy troops as himself.

That's right! It's just 'just'!

Liu Yuan is a veteran general on the grassland, who has been through a hundred battles to lay the foundation, and in his life, countless Central Plains men died in his hands, laying the foundation of a Xiongnu Empire; And this, it was also his reliance on daring to go south, what Sui State, he had never heard of it, and it was impossible for him to be afraid, he was not a Turkic, he had the fear of being exterminated by the Central Plains, knowing that the Central Plains people were not easy to provoke, and the Huns were not afraid!

He is not the Huns who were driven away by the Han army, but the heroes who seized the Central Plains and established a generation of Xiongnu kingdoms!

Back then, when he rushed into the Central Plains and destroyed the Central Plains Dynasty, how majestic he was as a Huns!

The trapped beast is still fighting, facing the last line of defense of the Central Plains people, how can he be dying and struggling!
