Chapter 338: Sealing the Wolf Juxu (2)(2/2)
Chu Tian came over in advance to greet Cao Cao.
He has ten war eagles for reconnaissance. It is difficult for the war eagles to detect a small group of Hun cavalry, but as soon as the Huns army of tens of thousands approaches, he can detect it immediately and use the high-speed maneuverability of the light cavalry to quickly weave around and defeat them one by one!
Cao Cao always felt that he was being commanded by Chu Zimou, but Cao Cao lacked efficient investigation methods. Seeing that Chu Zimou was confident of defeating the Huns' encirclement, Cao Cao could only choose to trust Chu Zimou.
"Set fire and burn down Dragon City!"
After Chu Tian searched for food and fodder in Dragon City, he decided to set fire to the place and give the Xiongnu a psychological blow.
The fire spread, and the Xiongnu's Holy Land for Heaven Sacrifice was engulfed in raging fire. This was the second time that Dragon City was destroyed, and the person who destroyed Dragon City was the Xiongnu's most powerful opponent!
If the Xiongnu harassed the Han Empire's border fortresses and plundered people and food, then the Han Empire launched a war of annihilation!
"Set off!"
Chutian led the cavalry, brought enough dry food, abandoned the cattle and sheep, and marched quickly!
Cao Cao saw that Chu Tian gave up tens of thousands of cattle and sheep in order to speed up the march, so he had no choice but to follow Chu Tian's army, also giving up cattle and sheep.
One hundred thousand cattle and sheep, in Chutian, Cao Cao's army consumed a lot on the way to Longcheng. Now the cattle and sheep have become a burden on the march, and when it is time to abandon them, there is no hesitation.
On the other side, Yi Zhixie Shanyu is ready to chase the Han army. The Huns cavalry has recovered their morale and physical strength and can chase the Han army!
Under Yi Zhixie's strong desire for revenge, he urged 40,000 Huns cavalry to forcefully march towards Dragon City!
On the way, the Huns scout reported: "The Han army burned down the Dragon City and looked eastward!"
Yi Zhixie's Chanyu complained that his canthus was torn apart. Even if the Dragon City, which was already an empty city, was burned down, there would not be much real loss. However, the Holy Land of Sacrifice to Heaven, Mobei Chanyu's Courtyard, was burned down, severely destroying the Xiongnu's confidence in fighting the Han Empire!
"Catch up and kill them!"
Yi Zhixie Chanyu was furious when he saw that the Han army had discovered his whereabouts, so he rushed forward with his troops. He was completely angered by Chutian's burning of Dragon City. When Yi Zhixie Chanyu's Hun cavalry heard that the holy land had been burned, they also
Furious.
Yizhi Xie Shanyu pursued to Longcheng, but Longcheng was covered in a sea of fire, with raging fire and thick smoke billowing.
Yi Zhixie clenched his fists, his sharp nails digging into his flesh unconsciously. The Han army was so ruthless, they simply wanted to kill them all!
As the Chanyu of the Xiongnu, he was helpless in the face of the Han army's wanton destruction.
The main force was defeated, the princes were captured, the Dragon City was burned, and the Xiongnu were chased to Yanran Mountain and Hanhai. As a Central Plains dynasty, this was a great shame and may be equivalent to the Jingkang Incident in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Huns cavalry were so stimulated that they abandoned their cattle and sheep and, under the command of Yi Zhixie Chanyu, pursued the Han army non-stop!
The burning of Dragon City was like poking a hornet's nest. All the Mobei Xiongnu knew that there was a Han army running around in Mobei and they must kill it!
Each Xiongnu tribe gathered warriors and eagle shooters to embark on a journey to hunt down the Han army.
The culprit, Chu Tian, was leading his cavalry to quickly approach Langjuxu Mountain. He wanted to complete his achievements before turning back to deal with the Huns cavalry.
"Wang, the Han army is marching eastward quickly!"
Zhao Xin, the second king who was guarding the Han army's escape route south, received a report from the Xiongnu scouts and discovered that the Han army did not flee south due to the arrival of Yi Zhixie Chanyu, but instead fled to the east toward Langjuxu Mountain.
"Langjuxu Mountain is desolate. Did the Han army flee there because they were frightened or because they got lost?"
Xin Zhao was suspicious of the Han army's strange marching route.
Facing the siege of the Xiongnu, the Han army did not want to return to the Han Dynasty, but fled into the mountains of Mobei. What on earth were they thinking?
