The Xiongnu were composed of many tribes, and each tribe contained several clans, such as the Jingtang clan, the Huyan clan, the Lan clan, the Xub clan, the Qiulin clan, the Lang clan, etc.
Each of the Chanyus came from the Luotang clan.
In addition, there are four surnames: Huyan, Lan, Xubu, and Qiulin, who have been married to Shanyu for generations. All matters such as abolishment of establishment, peace and war, and sacrifices are jointly decided by each ministry.
It can be said that the central branch of the Xiongnu royal court is composed of the five major surnames.
The Lan clan is located in Yuwushui, west of Wangting, with lush pastures.
Five days ago, they received news that Wang Ting was defeated and the Great Chan Yu was missing.
a bolt from the blue!
The Xiongnu royal court in Nuoda always had between 70,000 and 100,000 elite troops. Even during the summer herding period, when tens of thousands were transferred to various tribes to assist in the herding and harvesting, there were still 40,000 to 50,000 elite tribesmen, but they were defeated in one day.
When Lan Tuo, the leader of the Lan family, heard the news, his eyes turned black and he almost fainted.
When the White Tiger Soldier Talisman appears, the Yin body also emerges from the battle lines between the eyebrows, also absorbing the evil spirit, death energy, and fighting spirit of the battle between the two sides.
It's just that after days of fighting, I haven't had a chance to stop and practice properly and see what specific changes have occurred in the ancient well.
If the royal court is destroyed, their family will also suffer great losses and will be indivisible.
"There are hundreds of tribes in our grasslands. If we include the tribes of the two great sage kings of the East and West, there are even thousands of tribes, large and small."
The leader of the Lan family wanted to preserve the strength of the tribe as much as possible. He led his elite and relied on the speed of his horses to attract the Han army and preserve the baggage, cattle and sheep.
A murderous aura was condensed into substance, and it hit Lan Xu head-on like a sword.
Since breaking through to the Yin Shen level and absorbing part of the Xiongnu's shaken national destiny, the ancient wells in his sea of knowledge have also undergone new changes, including the sea of knowledge and military books.
A group of people rode towards Huo Qubing to kill him.
Two large tribes separated by hundreds of miles were defeated within one day.
Due to the defeat of the Imperial Court, those in various tribes who claimed to be inferior to the Imperial Court heard the news and moved to avoid the Han army.
So every family moved away one after another.
Thousands of Huns led by Lan Xu saw Huo Qubing and immediately shouted in hatred: "Come up with me and kill the Han general!"
His body also emits a layer of black energy gained from practicing the Xiongnu Life Soul Technique to defend himself, but at the moment of encounter, the killing energy is cut away.
The sheepskin robe on his shoulders has turned yellowish brown. He is tall, has a brown face, has the unique oily shine of the Huns, and has fierce eyes.
Not only can he easily command thousands of armies and use his magical powers in military strategy, but the power of his military strategy has also been greatly improved.
At this time, he rode close to the battlefield. Seeing that they could not run away, some Huns soldiers became ferocious.
It's not that the Han army was so powerful that they didn't dare to fight.
He is also a famous warrior in the tribe and has always been good at fighting: "It is really hateful for the Han army to ride horses on our grassland."
He has returned to Beiguan with Wei Qing, and now Zhao Ponu serves as deputy general.
Huo Qubing focused on the battle ahead, his spiritual thoughts spreading out like mercury pouring down the ground, and he could see the situation on the battlefield clearly, down to every detail.
My heart boiled with murderous intent.
The tribe was filled with the neighing of cattle and horses, and was full of panic as they were forced to evacuate in the middle of the night.
The leader of the Lan family led an elite force of 8,000 people, heading north along the Yuwushui grassland west of Ulaanbaatar.
In front, Zhao Ponu led a team, which had been ambushed there for a long time. He quickly pierced through the diagonal thorns and hit Lan's fleeing team from the flank, cutting them off at the waist.
In addition to their group, Zhang Cigong, Gongsun Ao and Su Jian jointly led an army, a total of three Han armies, rushing on the grassland to sweep away the tribes under the jurisdiction of the royal court.
"How many Han troops are there?"
Fortunately, the Xiongnu were nomadic tribes, and migration was common. After a simple tidying up, they drove the team of cattle, sheep, baggage and the main soldiers and divided them into two routes.
Many of the Xiongnu tribe behind him were struck by murderous aura, with blood oozing from their foreheads and their spirits destroyed.
The remaining Xiongnu men in their prime formed a cavalry with solemn and solemn expressions, and were responsible for attracting the Han army.
They just want to weaken us. Once we are unable to suppress the east and west, the prairie itself will be in chaos. Then the Han people will watch the melee on the grassland without using a single soldier, and we will no longer have the opportunity to retaliate against the Han people and enter the Han territory...
…”
After several days of running away, everyone felt tired.
"If all these things are consumed, the Eastern and Western tribes will take advantage of the situation to seize my position as the King of the Huns. That will be a real chaos in the grassland, and what the Han people want to see most.
This white tiger talisman does not tolerate disobedience and is very domineering. If there is disobedience, it will also inspire murderous intent.
The team led by Huo Qubing actually only had a few hundred people, just to confuse the enemy.
Covering the stars and catching up with the moon.
At first, the Lan clan planned to contact the Xubu clan and Qiulin clan, trying to join forces to resist the Han army, and either withdraw or fight.
In terms of crossing the sky and sea, the concealment ability, interference with the number of days, and traces during travel have all been further improved.
If the strength of the Xiongnu headquarters is weak, the two major tribes of the Xiongnu, the Eastern and Western Xiongnu, will inevitably have different intentions. When the time comes, the Xiongnu will fight among themselves, which will intensify and consume their strength.
But before he could take a breath, Xubu was attacked by the Han army and defeated again.
Lan Xu said fiercely: "Damn Han people, if you give me soldiers and horses, I will fight to the death with them."
The speaker was Lan Xu, the second son of the Lord of the Lan clan.
Lan Xu's soul was also killed and fell off his horse. He died without a chance to get close.
Some Huns felt that their heart was contracting violently, the pain was unbearable, and their faces turned pale.
The name of the Han army general was gradually spreading among the Huns deserters who fled to various tribes.
In his consciousness, there was also a spiritual aura permeating and rising in the ancient well.
Once blood is seen, Huo Qubing's consciousness will also be affected by the soldier talisman, and he wants to kill everyone without leaving any one behind.
The sound of the galloping horses seemed to contain endless murderous intent. Every time the hoofs of the horses hit the ground, the master of the Lan family and others felt their hearts skip a beat, as if there was an invisible drumstick beating their hearts along with the sound of the hoofs.
This was a smooth push, and the opponent collapsed at the first touch. Huo Qubing was so dull that he didn't even need to take action, and just watched the whole process on his horse.
The leader of the Lan clan and his eight thousand elite men camped at Zhijushui to rest.
The leader of the Lan family decided to move the tribe immediately, that is, to start running away.
Huo Qubing rode on horseback and led his subordinates, and quickly arrived at the place where Lan's people were resting just now.
In such a smooth battle, Huo Qubing doesn't have to end up personally.
We, the Xiongnu kings, support each other and form a royal court together. Now that we have been defeated by the Han army, we are moving north to preserve our strength. As long as the cattle, sheep, horses and population remain, when the Han army retreats and we regroup, we will still be the masters of the grassland.
.”
This time when the Xiongnu attacked, why was there no movement at all from that secret force?
From a distance, he looked south, his thoughts rising and falling.
At this time, Huo Qubing used his uncanny military skills and his magical marching skills to cover up the enemy at a close place, then suddenly rushed out, taking the lead.
"The Han army suddenly appeared less than two miles away and was rapidly approaching our headquarters..."
Huo Qubing then released the Xuanwu and White Tiger Soldier Talisman at the same time, breathing out the fighting spirit of the confrontation between the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield.
This was the first time that the master of the Lan family encountered such a powerful sound of horse hooves.
Zhao Ponu's army was dormant in the dark, and the one who suddenly came out was the main force in this battle.
In the tribe, children and women were sad, bidding farewell to their men, and followed the herds and sheep in other directions.
This is the highest highland in the surrounding area, with green grass and winding rivers below.
Although he was old, he still maintained his majesty. He reprimanded: "Although what you said makes sense, do you know how to think long-term for the tribe?
They were forced to move, and they were very resentful and wanted to kill the Han army.
The Han general Huo Qubing is destined to be remembered by all tribes in the grassland. Even the royal court was penetrated by him, and he defeated the enemy head-on with a small number and a large number.
Before Lan Xu could finish his words, his always brave companion was shot dead. His words were temporarily changed to: "Let's go quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, an arrow shot out. Not far away, a tall and strong man quickly made an evasive action at the critical moment. However, he saw a second arrow strangely piercing through the void next to him, instantly killing him.
A bloody hole shot out of his neck.
Fortunately for Lan, the next few days were calm.
roar!
The roar of the tiger shook the sky.
"Those Han people are timid and cowardly. In the past, they would only cry and run away when we plundered them... I don't believe they can really defeat our Xiongnu warriors. If we can gather all the tribes together, we will surely slaughter those Han troops like cattle and sheep."
At that moment, the horseman slowly approached the battlefield, and Jinan's horse ran down the hillside with its head held high.
After chasing until early morning, a small number of people fled and the rest were killed. Xiong San and Zhao Ponu came back and asked if they wanted to continue the pursuit.
Huo Qubing's thoughts were rising and falling in his mind. On the battlefield, the opponent had no intention of fighting and was running away while fighting.
That night, the bright moon shone on the river.
The sound of hoofbeats is full of killing intent!
The sound of galloping hooves alone can confuse people's minds and form an offensive, which is simply unbelievable.
At the end of August, Huo Qubing led the team back to Beiguan.
The news received by the Lan family was that the Han army that attacked them was the same one that defeated the royal court.
The sound of the hoofbeats when they came out just now was heart-breaking. It was the power of the miraculous marching method that was activated to a new stage.
As expected, Lan began to evacuate and run away.
Huo Qubing shook his head slightly: "It's almost the same. Those who should run have retreated deep into the grassland in the past few days. There is no need to pursue anymore. The grassland tribes are shrinking to the north, and we don't have much food. If we continue to pursue, we want to fight to support and rob.
There is no place for the Huns to rob anything."
The Lan clan always fought and retreated, and was easily defeated.
This is still the White Tiger Talisman that has just taken shape. If it is practiced for a period of time, the murderous intention will definitely become stronger.
Huo Qubing stayed in the grassland in order to weaken the major clans of the Xiongnu and defeat them.
Later, Lan received another message and learned that the Han army had begun to strangle and attack various ministries.
Huo Qubing issued the order.
"withdraw troops."
The Xiongnu used tribes as their living units, and a tribe was equivalent to a high-ranking clan of the Han people. They were united together, and the rise and fall of the tribe was the rise and fall of the individual.
The leader of the Lan family has white hair braided on the back of his head and a jade pendant hanging on his forehead. He is over sixty years old and wears a long leather robe to ward off the cold in the night.
The resurrected body he left behind in Beiguan, after following the two men, is still dormant somewhere in Beiguan, and has never received any orders from that mysterious power.
The quantity is unclear and the reality is unclear.
It was Huo Qubing's men and horses who appeared behind them, just as the leader of the Lan family said just now.
When some of them managed to escape, another Han army came out to cover them up again. However, it was Xiong San who led the group, with thousands of people, and dispersed the Lan clan tribesmen who were running out intermittently.
Zhao Ponu said excitedly: "This time the Xiongnu headquarters suffered heavy losses, and several major branches under its jurisdiction also suffered heavy losses. Let's see how they can suppress the eastern and western divisions.
Let the scouts explore around to make sure the surrounding area is safe, and everyone immediately relaxed.
Before dawn, Lan began to evacuate.
The moon is at the zenith.
Fighting to the death with a Han army capable of defeating the royal court, regardless of victory or defeat, no tribe was willing to bear the huge consumption.
Under Huo Qubing's command, Yao Zhao had been injured before and had a knife blade inserted into his abdomen.
The Huns may have never thought before that one day, the Han army would fight deep into the grasslands and in turn drive them away, forcing them to flee for safety.
Why do you think the Han army specifically hunted down several major families in our royal court?
He touched the center of his eyebrows and saw that the murderous aura of the White Tiger Talisman was very strong, and someone would die if it appeared.
Before the master of the Lan clan finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground shake and there was a boom!
Boom boom boom!
Then thousands of horses galloped like thunder, trampling on the ground with a sound, and in an instant it became as fast as a rain shower.
Three days later, they arrived at Zhijushui in the north of the Xiongnu territory, but still found no trace of the incoming Han army.
"They don't know much about the grassland as we do, and they have fought with our headquarters before. The losses must be considerable. If we fight to the death with them, we may not be able to defeat this Han army. There is no need to move north at all."
Breaking through and entering the Yin Body Realm of Soldier Soul, his strength surged significantly.
These three Han armies were all commanded and controlled by Huo Qubing.
"Withdraw!" the leader of the Lan clan shouted angrily.
This determines their social attributes and behavior.
One of the main reasons is that each ministry wants to preserve its strength.
A small number of people managed to rush close, but were intercepted by the people behind Huo Qubing and started fighting.
"I want to fight the Han army..." Lan Xu stood up quickly.
In the dark night, who has such amazing archery skills!
Everyone in the Lan clan got on their horses and galloped away.
The whole grassland seemed to be shaking.
This scene is very similar to the Huns plundering Han villages and towns, and the villagers fleeing in panic.
These Huns are now frightened by the name of Huo Hou, but do they dare to be enemies with us Han people again?"
There are certainly not a few hardliners like Lan Xu who want to stay and fight.
The vast grassland looks like a grass blanket under the moonlight, and occasionally the howling of wolves can be heard.
Once the Xubu clan and the Qiulin clan were identified, the camp was broken down in just one night.
"The night was so dark that the Han army seemed to be wrapped in a layer of fog and could not see clearly."
It is impossible to fight this kind of battle.
On the same night, Qiulin's camp was also broken!
A Han army launched an offensive as quickly as thunder and lightning, attacking the Xiongnu tribes everywhere.
That dark force seemed to be hiding again, with no trace left.
At the end of August, Huo Qubing returned triumphantly!
What awaited him in Beiguan was the emperor's imperial edict, a reward, and a team to welcome him, which was unprecedented in size!
At this time, the name of the Han general Huo Qubing had been carried to every corner of the grassland along with the fleeing troops.
Ps: Kill the main unit first and then push for the equalizer. Only with an amazing record first can the opponent escape with fame. In fact, there is no chance to make a move. He will die face to face...
