"This place where birds don't lay eggs is ten or a hundred times more desolate than Longxi!"

The lord of Longxi marched with Wei Qing, and his general Wang Tiejian couldn't help complaining.

Marching on the Mongolian plateau is also a difficult task for a tough guy like Wang Tiequiang.

"Perhaps we will leave this Gobi desert soon, and then there will be abundant aquatic plants."

Xu Fengnian, the lord of Longxi, looked a little haggard. Marching thousands of miles in the Gobi and deserts was far more difficult than marching in the Central Plains. The physical strength and morale of the soldiers under his command were seriously affected.

This was exactly the trap of the Huns. In order to eliminate the main force of the Huns, but not to fall into the trap, the Han army fought against the Huns under unfavorable circumstances.

Xu Fengnian could already imagine that in front, waiting for work, a large number of Huns cavalry were already in formation, waiting for the Han cavalry to appear.

"The main force of the Huns is found ahead!"

"There are more than one hundred thousand people! No, maybe two hundred thousand! Or even more!"

"Suspected to be the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu!"

The Han army scouts in front conveyed the news, causing the Wei Qing army to panic.

Although everyone knew the Xiongnu's tactics, they still felt uneasy when they discovered that the main force of the Xiongnu was right in front.

The number of Huns quadrupled!

The Xiongnu are not that easy to deal with, otherwise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have to use up the entire empire's war potential to destroy the Xiongnu royal court and break out large and small wars with the Xiongnu that would last for decades.

In the Xiongnu's home battle, with morale and physical strength declining, if you want to defeat the Xiongnu Chanyu's elite division, you need to take great risks.

If you are not careful, you may lose the battle!

"It seems that the Xiongnu Chanyu did not advance eastward..."

Wei Qing learned in Dingxiang County that the intelligence was wrong and that the Xiongnu Chanyu who was supposed to be dealt with by Huo Qubing appeared in front of him, but he decided to send troops anyway.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians were recruited by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to transport food and weapons to Dingxiang County and Dai County to fight against the Xiongnu. Even if there were major errors in the intelligence, the cost of giving up the war was too high, so Wei Qing could only rely on the less elite Han Dynasty.

The decisive battle between the military cavalry and the Xiongnu Chanyu.

The brave soldiers were assigned to Huo Qubing by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, the intelligence was wrong. After crossing the Gobi and desert, morale and physical strength declined, and the number of Huns' cavalry increased...

All kinds of unfavorable factors are all intersecting. If you can still win under such unfavorable conditions, you will be a famous general in the world.

Wei Qing did not fear the Xiongnu because of this, but continued to advance without hesitation.

Wei Qing led four rebel generals out of the Gobi and encountered the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu!

More than 200,000 Xiongnu cavalry stretched for dozens of miles, stationed in camps, and seized dangerous places. The banners of the Xiongnu camp covered the sky and stretched as far as the eye could see!

This is one of the two main forces of the Huns!

"The Xiongnu were really powerful. No wonder they were able to wage wars with the Han Empire for many years... In fact, many of the nomadic tribes in the future, even in the Central Plains, were descendants of the Xiongnu, but they were assimilated or had their names changed."

Yang Shilang, the lord of Jiangling, felt his scalp numb when facing the terrifying Huns army. During the march, he discovered that Wei Qing's troops lacked cavalry generals.

The northern princes were either divided into Huo Qubing's group or Li Guang's group, while the only northern princes in Wei Qing's group were Longxi Xu Fengnian.

The generals Yang Shilang brought were Han Shizhong (the fourth general of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty) and Pan Mei (the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty), but their cavalry was not top-notch.

What Wei Qing really had to rely on along the way was Wei Qing himself, Xu Fengnian's Longxi cavalry, and military generals Wang Yanzhang and Li Hu (Li Shimin's great-grandfather).

"Not only cavalry, this battle requires the use of infantry and crossbowmen."

Wei Qing also knew that he did not have many effective cavalry generals in his hands, so he ordered Wu Gang chariots to form a camp to stabilize the position and avoid being overwhelmed by the large number of Huns cavalry. Wugang chariots were military chariots covered with thick leather.

Military chariots can be used to transport grain, grass and weapons, and can also be quickly formed into a vehicle formation to prevent cavalry attacks.

When the Han Empire fought against the Xiongnu, chariot-based tactics were common. In addition, the Han crossbows were more powerful at that time, which could often cause a large number of casualties to the Xiongnu who lacked heavy cavalry.

"Su Zhang, you lead three thousand divine crossbow troops to assist the general in guarding the car formation."

Wang Defa, the governor of Nanhai County from Jiaozhou, ordered Su Zhang, a general of the Southern Han Dynasty from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, to assist Wei Qing in suppressing the battle.

Su Zhang had the most elite divine crossbow army in the Southern Han Dynasty under his command. He was a famous general for a while, but few lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty knew about him.

Many lords have a group of powerful second- and third-rate generals under their command. Although they are not as good as the legendary generals, they can sometimes play a strange role. For example, at this time, three thousand divine crossbow troops combined with chariots and barriers can allow the Han army to gain a firm foothold.

No worries.

The two sides faced off on the edge of the Gobi.

In the south, there are less than 100,000 cavalry and infantry of General Wei Qing of the Han Empire. Their morale and physical strength are generally low. Among them, the morale of Wei Qing's own cavalry is still high.

In the north are the cavalry of the Xiongnu Yizhixie Chanyu, with more than 200,000 in number. Except for the remnants of King Youxian, most of the Xiongnu cavalry are waiting for work, and their morale and physical strength are high!

If King Youxian hadn't been defeated, the number of the main Huns cavalry on this route would have even exceeded 300,000!

"General, in this battle of Mobei, I, Xin Zhao, will end your myth of invincibility."

Zhao Xin had served the Han Empire for a period of time. After betraying the Han Empire, he wanted to challenge his former boss, the Han Empire's general Wei Qing.

"Wei Qing, Huo Qubing is alive and well, and we Huns women are colorless."

The Xiongnu Yizhixie Chanyu pointed his riding whip at the Han Empire army opposite.

He hated Wei Qing and Huo Qubing deeply.

In the Battle of Longcheng, Wei Qing destroyed Longcheng, the Holy Land of Xiongnu worshiping heaven, and expelled the Xiongnu from the fertile Hetao area. He also defeated King Youxian in the Battle of Monan, sweeping across Monan like an iron plow.

After Huo Qubing joined the Han-Hungarian war, the situation of the Xiongnu became more and more difficult. Huo Qubing used 800 cavalry to capture the Xiongnu Chanyu's uncle, the state minister, and beheaded the Chanyu's grandfather and more than 2,000 people, which shocked the Xiongnu.

This time the Xiongnu Yi Zhixie Chanyu is gambling on the fate of the country!

If the Battle of Mobei fails, the Huns will completely decline and lose control of Monan and the Western Regions.

"The Huns have been harassing the frontier for many years. It's time to destroy them."

Wei Qing ordered his cavalry to rest and recuperate temporarily to prepare for a decisive battle with the Xiongnu.

He looked at the war eagle in the sky.

As a legendary cavalry commander, Wei Qing has unparalleled keen intuition. He has noticed that there is always a war eagle following his troops, sometimes two war eagles.

Based on his experience in fighting the Huns, this war eagle was not a plaything of the Huns, but a means of reconnaissance used by the rebel generals.

Chu Tian's method has been noticed by Wei Qing, but Wei Qing did not point it out clearly.

Wei Qing looked at War Eagle: "If you are good at running, then don't let me down."

Along the way, Chu Tian, ​​who was supported by Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi, became the de facto head coach. Both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had to obey his control. Whoever has the biggest fist will have the truth.

Chutian followed King Youxian's defeated troops and marched forward two hundred miles. The war eagle had already detected the whereabouts of Yi Zhixie Chanyu of the Huns.

When he learned that Wei Qing's troops were rapidly approaching Yizhixie Chanyu, he immediately persuaded Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi to abandon their baggage and even the cattle and sheep they had just acquired, and attack him again.

"This is a great idea!"

Li Guang was in a good mood and approved of Chu Tian's approach of stabbing Yizhi Xie Shanyu from behind.

"Whether we can be granted a title or not depends entirely on Sir."

Zhao Shiqi regarded Chu Tian as a strange man sent by God to lead them, so he held Chu Tian's hand and placed his hopes of becoming a prince on Chu Tian.

Chu Tian couldn't stand Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's enthusiasm for the title of marquis, so he broke away: "As long as you two trust me, maybe we can capture Yizhi Xie Chanyu alive and take him to Chang'an to wash his Majesty's feet with water."

"Very good, very good!"

Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi thought of the scene of Yi Zhixie Shanyu carrying water for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to wash his feet. The scene seemed a bit too beautiful.

Cao Cao saw that Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi were easily bribed by Chu Tian, ​​and knew that Chu Tian had become the commander-in-chief of the Han army. However, Cao Cao put the overall situation first and was willing to obey Chu Tian's orders, and he embarked on a road of no return...

Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao had surrendered, so he had no choice but to act passively.

Now they are more than a thousand miles away from the Qin and Zhao Great Walls in Dingxiang County, separated by large areas of Gobi and desert. If they are defeated by Yizhixie Chanyu, whether they can escape smoothly is a problem. They will be chased by the Xiongnu for thousands of miles.

No joke.

"Yang Ye, Taishi Ci, I have a task for you. In addition, one hundred iron eagle scout cavalry and one war eagle will be assigned to you."

Chu Tian assigned tasks to Yang Ye and Tai Shi Ci alone. Yang Ye and Tai Shi Ci led the Changshui Camp and Yue Qi Camp, which had less than 2,000 people, and parted ways with Chu Tian.

"It's a pity that Tian Khan's characteristics are limited in this battle..."

If Chutian could use the ability of "Heavenly Khan" to turn the Huns into an army of servants, this battle would be quite simple, and he could even capture tens of thousands of Huns cavalry and return to the main world.

However, in the Battle of Mobei, the two sides were enmity, and the Huns would not surrender, so Chu Tian could only execute all the prisoners.

Chutian was unable to recruit cavalry in the desert, and his troops were wasted little by little. Therefore, every time he used troops, it seemed that he would make a bold advance, but in fact Chutian was cautious and would only conduct a surprise attack after obtaining accurate information.

"Huo Qubing's East Route Army has already fought with the main force of King Zuoxian!"

Chu Tian discovered that in the ranking list, the princes such as Jiujiu Lao Qin and Mingguan of the Eastern Route Army began to appear on the list. The Jiujiu Lao Qin generals with Lu Bu, Yang Dayan, and Meng Tian squeezed Chu Tian, ​​Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao from the top three positions.

After coming down, the momentum was very fierce and he had reached the first place. Chutian's points increased slightly because he killed some Hun scouts and defeated troops in the middle.

The first place, Jiujiang Laoqin, has 18122 points.

Second place, I just want to farm well, with 16631 points.

The third place was a soldier at the border gate in the late Ming Dynasty, with 15924 points.

Fourth place: Don’t teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountains, with 11,924 points.

Fifth place is Zhao Zilong from Shijiazhuang, with 9924 points.
