Chapter 16 The Troops of King Zuo Xian
The sound of trumpets and drums never stopped. The surrounding commanders began to shout loudly to greet the soldiers. The scene became a bit chaotic, with the neighing of horses and the clash of armors mixed together. Horses running and people walking away stirred up the sky.
The dust suddenly filled the air, and a tense atmosphere suddenly filled the air. Since Li Mu came to this battlefield a week ago, he has never seen such a tense scene as today.
And the more this happened, the more Li Mu became certain that there might be an earth-shattering war next.
Urging his horse forward, Li Mu quickly found Grandpa's general's flag among the army, urged his horse forward, passed through a chaotic group of horses that were arranging, and finally reached the front.
At this time, Wu San was also preparing in front. The entire flag formation had been erected, and it was surrounded by well-equipped soldiers. Li Mu shouted "Grandpa" while the flags were fluttering. Wu San turned around and turned to Li.
Mu greeted him, and Li Mu immediately urged him forward.
"This time I have found the Xiongnu Chanyu. Just follow me and remember to keep your body low!" Wu San handed a shield to Li Mu and yelled at Li Mu. Li Mu responded amidst the noise.
Said, at this time the horn sounded again and the drum beat was heavy and loud. Wu San quickly turned his head, looked around, and waved the big flag.
The flags were flying, and the entire cavalry began to move slowly. Yang Mu followed Wu San nervously. The people and horses around him were compact, but no one was talking.
Moving forward slowly amid the sound.
Li Mu couldn't help but tighten the reins, raised his head as much as possible and looked into the distance. He didn't see any people or horses at the end of the low hill. The surrounding terrain blocked his sight, and he couldn't see the situation in the very distance.
Unknown dangers are just ahead, which will always make people's fears continue to expand.
The troops had just been repaired and were in good condition at the moment. As the troops slowly advanced and crossed the hills in front of them, Li Mu also saw the situation beyond the hills. It was another low hill. The terrain was
It was a bit like a basin, but now he saw a black line in the distance. Li Mu's heart tightened, and he realized that it should be the Xiongnu team.
At this time, the sound of the drums began to change, and the flags in front of him began to wave. Li Mu noticed that the army began to divide into three parts, and he couldn't help but urge Grandpa's team in front to tighten up. This time, he finally did not fall behind.
The number of Han cavalry was roughly 50,000. Taking into account the losses over the past few days, it was still over 40,000. Li Mu saw the two teams moving to the side and understood that they were going to attack in three directions again, preparing to find the Huns' weak points and then
Break through in one fell swoop.
The mighty cavalry team lined up in the desert. This scene is very inspiring, because all around you can see your own men and horses, and they hold sharp weapons in their hands, so you feel that the enemy in front of you will be defeated instantly.
Li Mu followed Wu San and walked forward. He saw Huo Qubing walking in front carrying a long halberd. At this time, he gradually calmed down in his heart. In his memory, Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, so this battle should be going on.
victorious.
As long as you follow closely, you'll be fine.
As Li Mu thought this, the group of more than 20,000 cavalry in the middle was slowly advancing. The black line in the distance became clearer and clearer, and some scenes of flags waving could already be seen.
At this time, the cavalry also began to trot slowly, and Li Mu quickly drew out his Huanshou knife, staring closely at the situation in the distance.
But when they were halfway to the flat land, the cavalry slowly stopped. Li Mu was a little puzzled, but he saw two groups of cavalry around him slowly following up and stopped.
Li Mu looked in the direction of Huo Qubing again and saw him talking to several generals. Thinking that something might have happened, Li Mu became even more nervous.
Suddenly, I heard Chen Junhou saying to Wu San from the front: "This doesn't seem to be the Xiongnu Chanyu's team, it seems to be King Zuoxian's?"
Li Mu didn't understand the term "King Zuo Xian" at all. He only thought it was the high official across the street. However, looking at Chen Junhou's solemn expression, he thought he had encountered a powerful enemy and quickly asked from behind.
"Marquis Chen, is there something wrong with King Zuo Xian?"
Chen Jun was waiting in front. He turned to look at the nervous Li Mu behind him. The expression on his face was not relaxed either. "If it is King Zuo Xian's army, then we will not see the Xiongnu Chanyu here."
"Ah?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had always heard in the army how he was going to conquer Shan Yu this time, but now, in front of him is not Shan Yu, but a Zuoxian King? It seems that he is
Hit one of his men?
"Thousands of choices, but in the end General Huo still didn't meet the Xiongnu Chanyu, but he did fight with his son." Chen Junhou said with some pity, and the next moment he whipped the horse, and the horse moved forward, and arrived.
Wu San's side.
When Li Mu heard this sentence later, he suddenly realized that King Zuo Xian was equivalent to the prince of the Huns. However, it sounded like Chen Junhou was very disappointed with this result, and there was this saying of choosing among thousands,
Had it been assigned before who would fight whom?
But now everything is obviously wrong, so the reason why the team stopped is because they found that the enemy they were about to fight was not the target they wanted to see?
But even so, now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired.
Li Mu looked in the direction of Huo Qubing and saw that the other party had stopped communicating with several generals. Xin Ma in the middle was quickly passing news among the three cavalry teams.
The next moment, Li Mu saw Huo Qubing pick up the long bow. At the same time, the horn sounded again, and immediately there was the neighing of horses.
Li Mu looked forward and saw that the Huns team on the horizon had begun to run, and understood that they were about to attack.
At the same time, Wu San in front of Li Mu held up a big flag and waved it. The whole team immediately cheered up and the sound of horse hooves could be heard everywhere.
A rumbling scene appeared in the desert. The black team was quickly approaching the black team. Li Mu followed Wu San forward and could already see the mighty enemy behind him.
An overwhelming torrent of cavalry was everywhere, surrounded by the sound of drums and horse hooves. The flags in the front were waving, the sounds of bows in the rear were heard densely, and the shouts of killing gradually became clearer at this moment. There was no smoke on the battlefield.
The murderous aura is already surging.
This was the first time that Li Mu successfully followed Grandpa's team. He saw that the people around him were all members of the flag guard team. They were all fully armed, with swords, crossbows, and halberds. They were equipped with everything.
As the team advanced, they kept getting closer, protecting Li Mu, Grandpa and other flag-bearers from all sides. Li Mu even saw a large number of round shields here.
The troops' hoofbeats rumbled as they galloped forward, the sound of fighting shook everyone's eardrums, blood surged again, and gradually only the enemy in the distance could be seen.
Li Mu had also raised the Huanshou Sword in his hand, leaning forward as much as possible, and the arrow from the opposite side was thrown at this moment.
Although the bows and arrows of the Xiongnu were not as well-made as those of the Han army, they were small sheep-mounted people after all. The prairie people came over on horseback. It can be said that they were born as a people on horseback. They were once said to have hundreds of thousands of bow-drawers.
The Huns' arrows were either thrown or shot directly, and they came in clusters. Although the number of people was not as high as that of the Han army, the density of the arrows shot was almost the same as that of the Han army.
Arrows whizzed from above his head. Li Mu quickly raised his shield to block it. Grandpa and others in front also raised their round shields to block it.
But even with the protection of shields, these dense arrows will still penetrate into people from all places, and the surrounding muffled sounds and short screams will not stop, and the tinkling sounds will continue.
At this moment, a war horse was shot in the vital part. It suddenly fell to its knees and fell with the knight, and also tripped several knights behind it. The scene was once chaotic.
Li Mu rode forward, looking angrily at the tragic situation behind him. He quickly turned to look anxiously at Wu San in front, only to find that there seemed to be something strange on his thigh.
It seemed to be an arrow, and it was deeply embedded in the muscles of his thigh. Grandpa was holding the flagpole firmly with both hands at the moment, and his figure was almost completely exposed to the Huns' arrows.
"Master!" Li Mu shouted anxiously in his heart, and quickly followed the opponent on horseback, raising the shield in his hand to block his arrows.
