Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 240 Fierce horses in the sky, attracting attention from all over the world 【Tickets】

The scorching sun was born, on the outskirts of Chang'an.

All the members of the [-] forbidden army have arrived, with flags and banners unfurled, armored and sharp.

The imperial army formed a square formation outside the city, immovable like a mountain, boundless at a glance.

Roshna, Gumo, Kucha, Fuyu, Wuhuan and other envoys were also invited to watch the ceremony on the city wall.

Looking down at the Han army that seemed to extend to the end of the world, everyone felt awe-inspiring.

One hundred thousand forbidden troops gathered together, like a mountain.That unshakable military demeanor and unparalleled will to fight shake the heavens and the earth.

In the early morning, the sky in Chang'an was a bit gloomy.

But when hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops gathered, there was a phantom shadow of a big weapon cast by soldiers' fronts in the sky above Chang'an, like a majestic peak towering into the clouds.

The clouds were pierced by this big shot.

At this time, above the sky, there is no cloud in the sky, and the sun is shining in the clear sky, which shows the conciseness of the Han army's soldiers.

When Huo Qubing and the emperor climbed to the top of the city, thousands of Han soldiers shouted in unison:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Champion, Champion! Champion!"

Just seeing them appear, the momentum of the Han army has boiled, and the sky has been cracked.

Even at the top of the towering city, you can still feel the sound waves of the gathering of thousands of armies, like a strong wind blowing in front of you.

Huo Qubing raised his arm, Wan Jun fell silent for an instant.

The emperor's voice shook the crowd and said:
"Today, I worship the champion as a general, to fight for me, for my great man. I want to know, if you are willing to follow the champion, defeat the Xiongnu, and forge the invincible power of our Han army!"

"I wish to follow to the death, and the undefeated Xiongnu will not return!"

"I swear to kill the enemy, and I will defeat the Xiongnu!"

"I swear to kill the enemy, and I will defeat the Xiongnu!"

With the earth-shattering sound, even the emperor's calm eyes were moved.

He turned his attention to Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing said solemnly: "I'm going here, I'm going to conquer the Western Regions for Your Majesty, open up the territory and return!"

The Forbidden Army below is still repeating its determination to defeat the Huns over and over again.

In Chang'an City, countless people were also looking at the direction of the city gate.

"Okay, I'm waiting for news of your victory over the enemy!"

After saying that, the emperor glanced at the agitated Han army below his eyes, and said to the queen beside him: "These soldiers are so supportive of Qubing, when they see him, they shout louder than when they see me!"

Wei Zifu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the emperor, seeing his rare smile, he was secretly relieved.

Sometimes, it is not a good thing to overwhelm the emperor.

But when this person was replaced by Huo Qubing, the emperor obviously didn't mind, on the contrary he was very happy.

The emperor stepped forward and said in a low voice:
"Qubing, I have always believed in you. I know that you will be victorious in all battles if you are determined to fight. But you must know that you are still young, and the battlefield is changing rapidly. There will always be uncontrollable accidents. If you can't do something, you should retreat. In order to return to court, the most important thing is to protect yourself!"

Huo Qubing was shocked.

The meaning of the emperor's words is that if the battle situation is unfavorable, he would rather be defeated and let him come back safely, and he can also accumulate opportunities to fight again. Don't put all the victories on the first battle. Opportunity.

The emperor was afraid that he would be too proud, and would rather bend than bend.

Huo Qubing performed the ceremony again, then turned around, holding the bronze ax bestowed by the emperor, he jumped down from the top of the city.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I, Huo Qubing, will never be defeated in this life, and I will never disappoint Your Majesty's trust."

The Forbidden Army below is at the forefront, and amidst a long hiss, he raised his hooves and rushed out, like an arrow off the string, just in time to catch his master.

Immediately, Jin'an lifted his front hooves off the ground, stomped in the air, and hissed loudly.

The scarlet cloak on Huo Qubing's back fluttered in the wind like a red cloud, and his gaze was as sharp as an arrow, looking at the whole army.

When fresh clothes and angry horses defeat the enemy, you will live up to your youth and know how to fight!
He looked back at the tower on horseback.

The emperor, empress Wei Zifu, clan relatives of the great Han Dynasty, and hundreds of officials are all there. This beautiful country is worthy of anyone's blood and blood, and they will never regret it!
Uncle Wei Qing will also leave Chang'an and go to the front line to deploy defenses.

In the carriage at the city gate, his mother, Wei Shaoer, was also secretly watching Wan Jun's excited son.

"Open up!"

With the sound of horseshoes, the imperial guards galloped west of Chang'an, following the figure of the angry horse in fresh clothes.

The drums sent to the army beat the earth.

On that day, all eyes were on, the young man rode his horse, and the army went west.

Among the [-] imperial guards, more than [-] elite were drawn out by Huo Qubing to follow him first.

In addition, there are [-] troops who will advance to Xiguan to join the frontier army and participate in the confrontation against the Xiongnu.

The army is drifting away.

Inside the city, Liu Qing could also hear the sound of war drums beating.

She didn't go to the city to see him off, seeing Huo Qubing go to the battlefield with her own eyes was not a good feeling.

At the head of the city, the crowd slowly receded.

And in the Weiyang Palace inside the city, Concubine Jin was also in the palace, overlooking the direction outside the city.

She regretted letting Jin Xu join the Imperial Army.

The current Lang Zhongling didn't care about her greetings at all, and actually asked Jin Xu and other newcomers to the imperial army to form a team alone, and accompanied by the follow-up [-] troops, they also came to the battlefield in person.

If given the chance, they might even go to the battlefield to fight in person.

Concubine Jin felt terrified.

The battle between the Han and the Hungarians is related to the fate of the country, which time is not a bloody meat grinder!
……

The guard army left Chang'an. On the first day, Huo Qubing did not leave the army, but rode forward in front of the whole army.

At night, the whole army advanced more than [-] li to the west, and could not enter the city, so they set up camp on the spot.

Roshna, Gumo, Kucha envoys and others, including Zhang Qian, also accompanied the army.

In addition, among the 4 main force of the rear army, there is also a team of embroidered clothes. The masters gathered, and Lei Bei and Wu Bei who came back from the grassland and Beiguan were all among them.

Leading the army in the rear were generals Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong.

After setting up camp, Roshna simply washed up and was about to fall asleep, but she heard some soldiers coming over and asking her to go to the Chinese army tent to discuss matters.

Roshna was dressed in cobalt blue, and served by Qiuci embroidered with flying bird patterns. When she came to the main tent of the Chinese army, Huo Qubing was putting on his armor, neatly dressed:
"The general is leaving camp so late?"

"Not only I want to go out, but you also want to go. You guys know a lot about the situation in the Western Regions, come with me."

What Huo Qubing said meant that he was leaving the team and his destination was the Western Regions?
Roshna was full of doubts: she was still in Han territory, and the nearest place to the border was seven or eight hundred miles away.

Need to start marching into the night now?
She was puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions, and immediately went back to the tent to make simple preparations and pack her things.

Roshna, her close attendant Bo Qimu, the envoys of Kucha, Gumo, and Bowang Hou Zhangqian were the only five who were able to accompany the army.

The sky is full of stars.

Under the leadership of Huo Qubing, an elite group of ten thousand soldiers disappeared without a trace the moment they left the barracks.

In Huo Qubing's sea of ​​knowledge, his art of war is shining. He was promoted to the middle strategy of crossing the sky and crossing the sea. His talent in military strategy is the top priority, and both of them blend with the magical marching method.

The team seemed to be intertwined with the night, leaving the camp silently.

Roshna and the others followed Huo Qubing's march and found out why he had to pass seven hundred miles away from the border, so they started to rush.

Because the speed is too fast.

Seven hundred miles will not take one night.

The scenery on both sides flew back, and even the sound of the wind could not be heard.

The whole team stalks like ghosts.

The two envoys, Gu Mo and Qiuci, were marching with Huo Qubing for the first time, and their faces were full of ghostly expressions.

This speed is too exciting... The two of them were surrounded by a wave of soldiers, and they felt a strong sense of weightlessness. They felt that the world was spinning, and they had lost their sense of direction.

Roshna estimated that at this speed, she might be able to reach the border in the middle of the night.

To her surprise, after a quick march, they did arrive at the border in the middle of the night, but it was not the northwest border as she or others thought.

The place where Huo Qubing came was the junction of Wudu County and Longxi County, which is the closest direct distance to the west of Chang'an.

Going out from the border town here is the area near Jishi Mountain, the clan land of Xiqiang.

That is the direction where Li Gan and Yao Zhao attacked and defeated the Yao Qiang tribe.

Marching north from this direction is the northwest border of the Han Dynasty.

Going west from the northwest frontier is the long and narrow corridor connecting the Western Regions, which is the main section of the Silk Road as later generations call it.

The long and narrow corridor is nearly a thousand miles long, with Dahan Xiguan at one end.

At the other end are Loulan and Pulei, one on the left and the other on the right, guarding the two ends of the corridor.

The location where Huo Qubing came from Hanbian Pass and Wudu County is located in the south of the Silk Road, about five or six hundred miles away.

Five or six hundred miles, it sounds like Huo Qubing's speed is not far away.

But going north from here, you need to cross the remaining range of Jishi Mountain and Qilian Mountain, and there are many villages of the Qiang and Di tribes.

Mountain road conditions are not conducive to marching.

What's more, there are strongholds of Qiang and Di tribes along the way, and there are miasma and deep streams from time to time, so it is impossible to march quickly.

What did Huo Qubing bring the Han army here to attack the Qiang village?
Roshna and the others couldn't figure it out at all.

The moon was high, and it was just past midnight.

When the envoys Gumo and Qiuci arrived at the place, their faces were pale, they fell off their horses, and vomited on one side.

Too fast, dizzy.

"Lang Zhong Ling!"

When Huo Qubing arrived at the border, Li Gan came out from a border city to meet him.

Li Gan never returned to Chang'an to change his defense.During this time, he was always in Xiguan, completing the tasks assigned to him by Huo Qubing.

Right now, it is time for him to come back to life:
"Lang Zhongling, the final general has made preparations as instructed."

Huo Qubing's eyes were shining brightly in the night: "Zhao Puonu, where is Yao Zhao?"

"The end is here!"

Zhao Puonu and Yao Zhao surrounded each other from left to right.

Huo Qubing said: "I now order you two to lead the army, go north along Xiguan, turn to the west after reaching the northwest of our Han territory.

The two of you march at full speed. If you encounter an opponent, don't seek complete annihilation. If you are defeated, you will continue to move forward. We will meet on the road. "

Zhao Puonu and Yao Zhao agreed loudly without asking any further questions.

Huo Qubing asked Li Gan to bring troops to Xiqiang for activities more than a month ago.

At that time, he joined Yao Zhao and had a total of five thousand troops under his command.

At this moment, Li Gan followed Huo Qubing, and Huo Qubing only brought a small number of relatives, separated from the brigade, together with Roshna and others, went directly west, entered the area of ​​the Qiang and Di tribes, and disappeared again.

Zhao Puonu and Yao Zhao unified Wan Jingrui and headed north along the straight line of Xiguan.

Huo Qubing led his troops out of the border, which meant that the battle started sooner and earlier than everyone expected.

On the first day the Han army left Chang'an, the battle had already begun!

----

"We have received news that the Han army has left Chang'an."

"The battle between the Han and the Hungarians is very important. What are your plans?"

"Look at it first and then..."

All over the world are paying close attention to this battle!
"Who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"A few years ago, I would have said that the Xiongnu had a better chance of winning, but in recent years, the Han army has grown in strength and defeated the Huns in a row.

The Xiongnu had a capital, and they were once invincible.But Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty are also famous generals who will not be born in the world. I don't know whether to win or lose this battle. "

The forces waiting and watching from all sides are all speculating and discussing.

The eyes of the whole world seem to be on the northwest direction of Dahan.

"The Xiongnu were good at attacking, and Judu was hailed as a divine general, who had already set up sons in the Western Regions and induced the Han army to leave the pass.

If the Han army goes out to confront it in the Western Regions, it will have no advantage, and the Xiongnu is ready to wait. I think the Han army is mostly negative. "

Zi, who was hiding in the dark, was also in contact with someone on the other side at this time, passing the book on bamboo slips.

"Regardless of victory or defeat, we have been waiting for this moment for many years. When the Han and Hungarians fight, there will be a great turmoil in the Western Regions, and many small countries will be destroyed. Although a country is small, it has its own strength. This is exactly what we planned Part of the purpose."

"Um……"

----

The section from the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions starts from the Yellow River to the west and advances along the northwest.

Its long and narrow road is bordered by Altun Mountain and Qilian Mountain in the south, and Mazong Mountain, Heli Mountain and Longshou Mountain in the north.

It is equivalent to saying that this corridor-like passage (in today's Gansu Province) is surrounded by mountains on both sides.

Therefore, as long as the Huns guard the two ends, they can control the throat of the Han Dynasty leading to the Western Regions, and their strategic position is extremely important.

And because it is to the west of the Yellow River, it has been called Hexi since ancient times.

Although its terrain is narrow and long, the surrounding water sources are abundant and the land is fertile. It was once a treasure land where the Da Yue clan lived and multiplied.

Later, the Dayue clan was defeated by the Xiongnu, and the north of this narrow strip was acquired by the Xiongnu King's Department and the Hunxie King's Department.

The southern part was jointly occupied by the Western Qiang tribes.

The Qiang and the Xiongnu colluded with each other to curb the relationship between the Han and the Western Regions.

The two tribes of King Xiutu and King Hunxie were originally separated by five or six hundred miles, and they were located at the key point from Hanxi Pass to the Western Regions.

After Huo Qubing dispatched troops to Xiguan last time, Xiutu's troops retreated hundreds of miles after they were defeated.

Now King Xiutu led the remnants of the troops, and came to join King Hunxie under the orders of Judu.

The two combined forces amounted to [-] people, stationed at a necessary place leading to the Western Regions, cut off the connection between a team that the Han army had pushed forward to Yumen and Xiguan, and waited for the follow-up Han army to fall into ambush .

"The spies who went to Xiguan of the Han army, do you have any news to report back?"

At this moment, with the imminent battle, the Xiutu King's Department and the Hunxie King's Department joined together, and the two got up early in the early morning to check the military situation.

King Xiutu and King Hunxie were both very strong, but they had different styles.

King Xiutu has a big body and a big frame, but his muscles are tight, so he looks a little thin at first glance.

King Hunxie is as tall as a mountain, with a bronze complexion, and a hairpin made of an animal bone, which is inserted obliquely behind his head. He has a rough image and piercing eyes.

During Huo Qubing's last campaign to command Xiguan, King Xiutu killed more than half of his subordinates, and many relatives also died in the fight with the Han army.

So he hated the Han army very much.

Having received the order from Judu to stop the Han army here, King Xiutu was very excited and brought all the elite under his command.

"I received the news earlier that the Han army officially launched its troops from Chang'an today, and will arrive at Dahan Xiguan in a few days."

"The position we are guarding is the only way they must pass. And General Judu has other arrangements, this time it will definitely hit the Han army hard."

King Hunxie got up early to inspect the barracks, returned to the big tent, took out a stewed mutton bone from the pot, and put it into his mouth with oil and meat to chew:
"I heard that the Han general Huo Qubing marched very fast. Before that, even Wang Ting was defeated by his attack, and the Great Shanyu was also injured by him. With such an opponent, I expected to meet him a long time ago."

In the two camps built by the mountains, Hunxie and Xiutu, there are continuous tents and strict security.

They are guarding the highest position in the surrounding area, taking advantage of the terrain.

"Will General Judu come over?"

"What is the general's plan, how will we know, let the Han people have a headache." King Hunxie laughed.

King Xiutu said viciously: "This time against the Han army, we don't need to keep alive, but kill them all in order to avenge the loss of our troops before. Would you like to help me?"

"How to do it is up to you."

"Come here, pass on the king's order, to the direction of Xiguan in the Han territory, a team of sentries will be deployed every three miles, look at each other, and report immediately if there is any movement."

King Hunxie sneered and said: "Then Huo Qubing is marching and attacking, I want to see how he can come here under my layers of defense?"

King Xiutu also picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth: "If we can catch Huo Qubing this time, we can relieve his hatred for slaughtering my subordinates."

Ps: Let's see if we can continue the [-]-word update today, please order and ask for a ticket!
