Chapter 410 Heavy Snow Full of Bows and Swords

Geng Shu and Zhang Yue were defeated after arguing.

After some preparations, early in the morning on the third day, Zhang Yue led 9,000 troops, carrying 600 sleds, 30,000 horses, and one month's supplies, left the camp and headed straight for the Huns camp in Beihai.

.

Although the snow in the sky was lighter at this time, it still did not stop.

The heavy snow also covered the actions of Zhang Yue's army very well.

In order to cooperate with Zhang Yue's actions, Geng Shu continued to advance for more than sixty miles after the heavy snow stopped.

Geng Shu's actions attracted the Huns' attention very well.

The right general of the Xiongnu focused almost all his attention on Geng Shu.

As for the main Huns cavalry led by Hu Yantuan Chanyu, they also stopped thousands of miles away due to the blizzard.

After Zhang Yue sent out his troops, he first headed north to avoid the Huns' warning troops. Then he turned east.

When the Huns discovered Zhang Yue's unexpected force, Zhang Yue was already less than thirty miles away from the Huns' temporary garrison.

"The Han army is attacking... The Han army is attacking..."

When the news of the Han army's attack came, Wei Lu, who returned to Shan Yuting in advance, was shocked.

He had no idea that the Han army would raid the camp in such bad weather.

At this time, most of Shan Yuting's herdsmen had gathered in the camp.

If the camp was breached by the Han army, the consequences would be disastrous.

"How many people have come from the Han army, and who is leading the army?"

Wei Lu immediately called the scout who brought the news and asked about the specific situation.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the Han army has approximately 10,000 cavalry. Judging from the flags, they must be soldiers from the Western Regions!"

Wei Lu murmured, "The soldiers from the Western Regions, could it be Zhang Yue who came here in person?"

Wei Lu thought of this and asked again, "Can you see the Han army's flag clearly?"

The scout said, "Looking at the flag of the Han army, the leader of the Han army is Zhang!"

"Zhang's family leads thousands of horses, and the only one in the Western Region is Zhang Yue, the Marquis of Yunyang!"

At this moment, Shanyu's heir, King Zuo Tufan, came in with his men.

"King Ding Ling, what happened? Why did you warn me?"

Wei Lu said, "King Tu Fin came just in time. The Han army from the Western Regions is attacking, and they are already thirty miles away!"

King Tu Fin was shocked when he heard this, "The Han army from the Western Regions is attacking. Who is leading the army?"

Wei Lu said, "If the prediction is correct, it should be the capital of the Western Region protecting Zhang Yue!"

Tu Fin King was shocked, "It's actually Zhang Yue!"

Zhang Yue was a famous general second only to Wei Huo in the eyes of the Huns.

Just this name brought huge psychological pressure to the Fin King.

"The king immediately ordered the troops to gather!"

After all, Slaughter Fin King was considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, and he quickly calmed down.

Wei Lu paid homage to King Tu Fin, "This battle depends entirely on King Tu Fin!"

King Tu Fin nodded with a serious face. Facing the great Han Yunyanghou Chariot General Zhang Yue, who was the Protector of the Western Region, he felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

King Tu Fin went down to gather his troops, and Wei Lu immediately sent someone to send a distress message to the right general and Hu Yantuan Shanyu.

Although he knew that the two armies were too far away from the main camp and it would be difficult to assist the main camp, at this time, a dead horse could only be used as a living horse doctor.

After the messenger left, he also began to gather the soldiers and horses of his Ding Ling tribe to prepare for battle with the Han army.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The horn sound of gathering troops first sounded in the camp of King Tufin.

Immediately, horns sounded one after another in the camps of various Xiongnu tribes.

The leaders of each department summoned the young men of their respective departments to gather in the camp in accordance with the order, and at the same time they also nervously inquired about the news.

When they learned that it was Zhang Yue who led the Han army to attack, the leaders of each department felt as if they were weighed down by a big stone.

At this time, Zhang Yue's troops had arrived twenty miles away from the Xiongnu camp.

After the Huns' actions were reported back by the scouts, Zhang Yue immediately issued an order to stop the march.

"Why did the prince station his troops and not advance?"

Zhang Zhan then rode over to ask.

Zhang Yue said, "The Huns have already detected the actions of a certain class... Since we can no longer make a surprise attack, it is better to let the soldiers rest first!"

Zhang Zhan nodded and suggested, "Why don't you let your servants lead the troops to explore the situation of the Huns first?"

Zhang Yue thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Let's lead a thousand cavalry there...be careful not to fight the Huns easily!"

"promise!"

Zhang Zhan agreed and immediately led thousands of horses to the Xiongnu camp.

At this time, the Huns had also gathered various fighting troops.

After the various tribes were gathered together, the number of troops was not large, and the number was nearly 20,000.

However, everyone did not have much confidence in victory and only hoped to drive back the Han army.

At this time, Tu Fin King found Wei Lu again.

"King Ding Ling, do you think we should defend or attack?"

Wei Lu thought about it carefully and asked, "How does King Tu Fin think our army compares with the Han army in terms of combat effectiveness?"

King Tufin sighed and shook his head, "Although our army has 20,000 people, the real elite is only the 3,000 riders in the hands of a certain person, and the 1,000 riders brought back by the Duke..."

"Although the soldiers of various tribes are numerous, it is difficult to resist the Han army!"

Wei Lu frowned and said, "So, even though our army is large in number, might it not be as powerful as the Han army?"

King Tufin remained silent, but he acquiesced in Wei Lu's judgment.

Wei Lu tapped his horsewhip unconsciously with his fingers, "Our army's "attack" power is not as good as the Han army's, and our "defense" army's camp is so vast that it's hard to take everything into account!"

King Tu Fin sighed and said, "Does King Ding Ling have any good ideas?"

Wei Lu thought for a while and then said, "There is only one solution now!"

King Tu Fin perked up after hearing this, "What is King Ding Ling's clever plan?"

Wei Lu shook his head, "It's not a clever idea, but there are many healthy women in my camp... How about arming ourselves into an army..."

The Fin King frowned when he heard this, "How can we fight with healthy women as our army?"

Wei Lu said, "There is no need for them to go to the battlefield, they just need to line up in the rear and frighten the Han army!"

King Tu Fin suddenly said, "King Ding Ling is trying to make a suspicious plan!"

Wei Lu said, "This is the only method that is feasible now. As long as it can be delayed for three days... I, Ding Ling, will arrive with five thousand elite cavalry..."

Tu Fin thought for a while and asked, "That being the case, why not use slaves as an army? The number of young and strong slaves in each tribe cannot be less than 60,000!"

Wei Lu shook his head and said, "No, does Tu Fin know about the Battle of Mingtiao and the Battle of Makino?"

King Tu Fin said: "I think I've heard of it before, and I'd like to hear the details!"

Wei Lu said: "...Both of these two battles were caused by the defection of temporarily armed slaves..."

King Tu Fin heard this and said, "I understand what King Ding Ling means... In this battle, we not only have to guard against the Han army, but we also have to guard against slave rebellion..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

At this moment, a warning horn sounded outside the camp.

"The Han army came so quickly!"

Both of them were shocked, immediately stopped talking, jumped on their horses, and rushed out of the camp with their guards.

The two soon discovered a Han cavalry force of about a thousand cavalry appearing in the southwest.

"Tu Fin, do you want to send troops to expel this Han army?"

Zuo Dadanghu then led people forward to ask.

King Tu Fin thought for a moment and then said, "I will drive away these Han troops!"

Zuo Danghu heard this and immediately led his three thousand cavalry to attack.

When Zhang Zhan saw the Huns sending troops, he laughed and said, "Second and third sons, withdraw your troops... take your time and play with the Huns..."
