In the darkness, the team led by Mulangtuo was divided into two teams, the front and the back.
The front group, which consists of five to six hundred people wearing Han military uniforms, should head toward Hanguan first.
The remaining people used the Hidden Witch Technique, which is a marching method of the Qiang people. It can also increase the marching speed and weaken the movement of the team as they march.
After the front army left, Mulangtuo personally led nearly 1,500 people and rode in the rear to follow.
On a towering loess hill in the distance, Huo Qubing and other Han troops used a magical marching method to hide their presence. Looking down from a distance, they were divided into two teams of Qiang cavalry.
From their perspective, they could see in another direction that the Huns cavalry were rapidly approaching the five or six hundred Qiang people wearing Han uniforms.
The Qiang people disguised as Han troops had heard the commotion and stopped in line in surprise, looking in the direction from which the Huns soldiers were coming.
"When they see that they are Huns, they only need to shout to identify themselves. The general's plan to induce them to fight each other may not have much effect."
Xu Jia, a border military lieutenant who was recruited, was thirty-four years old at the time, with a long and thin face. He had a tough temperament that had been tempered by wind, frost and war as a general at the border all year round.
And she wore a ferocious bronze mask on her face, which did not reveal her face. Only her wrists outside the sleeves were as white as snow.
Far away from the fight between the two sides, there were two people standing on top of a towering, isolated pile of loess that was more than ten feet high.
Huo Qubing turned his horse around and said, "Let's go and pull out the Qiang camp first."
For the Qiang people who are familiar with this land, there is no problem in galloping.
"Even if you fight alone, you may not be his opponent?" The woman disagreed.
Xiao Ying: "It's no pity. The plan has just begun and is not over yet.
He added: "This Qiang tribe should be just one of the goals of his trip."
The battle spears are like a forest, and the assassinations are like rain.
Huo Qubing suddenly held it in the air, and a Han sword hanging on Xiao Ying's waist seemed to have suddenly become spiritual and jumped into his hand.
"That won't cause many casualties. The Qiang people will not directly fight the Huns in the first place." Xu Jia said.
In the night, fighting spirit surged into the sky.
His tribe is said to have over 10,000 elites, but in fact there are only more than 7,000 people. The remaining non-combat troops are about two to three thousand, and together they can barely count as an army of 10,000.
Knowing that they were going out to plunder and that this time they might break into the Han border town, these Qiang people's eyes were shining and their morale was high.
Just standing there, the woman had an inexplicable aura that captivated people.
At this moment, Dian Zhen suddenly reined in the horse and scanned the surroundings with his eyes like lightning.
She stood on the top of the loess pile, with a graceful figure, and her skirt was blowing in the wind, as if she would fly away at any time.
Jin Wu obviously didn't expect the Qiang people to dare to fall out with him.
Dian Zhen recognized the origin of the formation diagram at a glance.
"My general and champion Hou Huo Qubing is the one!"
The second cavalry, the third cavalry, the fourth cavalry... were Han troops, and there were also those on the flanks.
He felt a terrifying murderous intention.
But the Huns suddenly came and killed them.
This person was exactly the time when Huo Qubing, Dao Zun, and Qin Qingyu fought against the author ten months ago. The assistant beside the author was the knife-wielding man in black who had a brief confrontation with Qin Qingyu.
Huo Qubing's eyes fell on Dianzhen's face, and he said something to a tribesman beside him. The tribesman immediately shouted and asked: "Are you the leader of the Qiang tribe, who has repeatedly harassed Dianzhen on our Han border?"
The Huns quickly took the initiative. General Jin Wu asked about the situation and found out that this group was really a Han army disguised as Qiang people.
Everything you see with your eyes is from Han China.
"What exactly is he going to do in Beiguan this time? Why should we pay so much attention to him?"
Dianzhen smiled.
He didn't know all of Huo Qubing's plan, so he couldn't help but raise questions about the ambush in front of him.
Dianzhen suddenly felt a strong sense of fear in her heart: "Who are you..."
The tribesmen behind him translated the Qiang language, and Huo Qubing listened and said coldly: "Who said this is the place of the Qiang people?
After a pause, he said: "Not long after, when he returns to Chang'an, you will know that what I said is true."
Opposite him, Dian Zhen raised his arms, as if he wanted to distance himself from the knife, but the scimitar in his hand obviously missed the target. Blood oozed from his eyebrows, and his eyes turned dim.
They were outnumbered and had been gathering momentum for a long time. The Qiang team chose to retreat and dispersed at the first touch.
The Xiongnu general Jin Wu was not killed directly.
Dianzhen slowly fell to the ground!
He is dead.
It's a crossbow arrow!
boom!
At the same moment, the void in front seemed to be shattered by a force, and a cavalry rushed out.
Even the surrounding Qiang tribesmen seemed to be calmed by this sword!
The light of the sword flashed, and its trajectory was like an antelope hanging its horns, or like a horse flying in the sky, invisible and traceless.
He led his army out, but before the rear of the army left the camp, the Han army blocked him at the door of his house.
In order to protect themselves, the other soldiers immediately formed a massacre.
All onlookers were momentarily blinded, as if a sword had penetrated their pupils.
Dianzhen raised his eyes and looked toward the east.
Dian Zhen said with a ferocious smile, "This is the place where I, the Qiang people, belong... What can you do to me?"
So far, Xu Jia has discovered that ambushing two thousand Qiang tribesmen is only the first step.
With this sword, the light instantly illuminated the mountains, rivers and land on the northwest border.
The woman wearing the bronze mask smiled and said: "Soldiers use tricks and tactics on the battlefield. Why can't they use the true nature of a military strategist?
Given you the same amount of troops, can you eat up the ancient Qiang tribe step by step with almost no damage to yourself?"
His years of hard work and leading the ancient Qiang to grow have come to an end here.
The night was dark, but the bright moon hung high, and its light made the road faintly visible.
Xiao Ying responded:
"If Lieutenant Xu led his troops to charge into the formation, the charge was launched, and the distance was very close, and the opponent suddenly shouted that he was a friend rather than an enemy, what would you choose? Stand still, stop the attack, and listen to the opponent's explanation?"
Boyan had brought away two thousand men before, and Dianzhen himself now brought out two thousand elite men, as well as two thousand men who followed Mulang and dragged them to attack the Han army.
Ancient Qiang tribe.
"So what?"
The two figures were hazy, as if enveloped by some kind of energy, blending into the night.
Besides, our main goal is not to make them kill each other, we can fight better, otherwise it doesn’t matter.”
The remaining two thousand people left behind in the camp are already the old and weak among the eight thousand tribesmen and are responsible for looking after the house.
The man in black said: "Do these people in his hands really dare to go to the Western Regions?"
Dian Zhen then discovered that around the team he led, on the loess ground, with the appearance of the Han army, interlaced formations appeared.
The next moment, a real melee broke out between the two sides.
Xu Jia said: "When rushing into battle, you must first safeguard your own advantages and the safety of your troops.
The woman looked from a distance and said: "The civil servants in the DPRK strongly opposed his proposal to expand the territory. He did not want to increase consumption and give the civil servants an excuse to attack and oppose, so he took action to kill the enemy general. Otherwise, this Qiang tribe, he
Maybe I won’t come to supervise the battle in person.”
One of them was covered in black clothes, holding a knife in one hand, and had a strong build.
If anything succeeds this time, the prestige of the Ancient Qiang tribe will definitely increase. Maybe they can take the opportunity to integrate and annex the surrounding small and medium-sized Qiang tribes and expand the power of the Ancient Qiang tribe.
"We arrived a step late, and Huo Qubing led his troops to disperse a strong Qiang tribe." The man in black said in a low voice.
The others were greatly surprised when they saw it, but Huo Qubing secretly shook his head.
He reacted very quickly, lowering his head subconsciously, and a light cyan halo flashed in front of him!
Sure enough, in the distance, they saw the Huns cavalry, and the Qiang team immediately shouted loudly to identify themselves.
At this time, standing side by side with him was a woman wearing a white double-breasted Hanfu.
Xiao Ying nodded and said: "That's right, so once the cavalry's charge begins, even the generals on both sides cannot stop it if they want to. They must first make sure they can control the situation."
If you want the two sides to kill each other, they can't keep fighting silently. They can only use words to identify themselves, and the plan will obviously be difficult to implement.
On the top of the mountain in the distance, Xu Jia said: "It's a pity that so few Qiang people were killed."
This was the first time he took action after coming out of the military mansion and absorbing the essence of Half-Saint Wu Qi's formation diagram. His skills were amazing!
Dian Zhen, who was leaving the camp, sat on his horse, looked at Zixiong, and said to the people on his left and right: "If we can defeat the Han border city today, you should fight bravely and strengthen the name of our tribe. If you get something, I will not treat those who follow me badly."
people."
————
All the Qiang tribesmen shouted in unison, and the momentum was quite astonishing.
The man in black seemed a little jealous and said: "Huo Qubing also used a combination of tactics to eat up this ancient Qiang tribe.
"The Qiang people have always been weak-willed. If they are at a disadvantage, they will flee. Even if they penetrate the enemy head-on, they may not be able to do it. It can only save their own troops, so why fight hard?"
This time it was an inexplicable fight. The generals of the two sides were fighting for their lives, and one side suddenly took action to kill the other side. In this situation, anyone would feel that the other side was deliberately trying to deal with them.
"The formation techniques of Han military strategists... A Han general came to Beiguan!"
The Han army came forward with great force, but the Qiang people under Dian Zhen's command were frightened.
The mist filled the air and the team withdrew quietly.
At midnight, Dianzhen personally led two thousand troops out of the camp and prepared to join Mulangtuo.
Xu Jia commanded more than a hundred frontier troops. He had been coerced by Huo Qubing with his magical marching method, and he marched as fast as the clouds and mist.
In addition to the more than a thousand people attached to them led by Mulangtuo, the entire ancient Qiang tribe probably has more than 8,000 available people.
Whatever I can do to you, just killing you once is enough..."
Then...everything was settled.
"There is more than one Qiang tribe."
He is located behind and on the left side of Huo Qubing.
The voice of the woman in the white dress was soft and slightly charming.
"I'm not a military strategist, so naturally I can't do it. But if the empress wants Huo Qubing's life, I can kill him for you at any time." The man in black said with hidden murderous intent.
"There is an enemy attack..."
Before he could think about it carefully, the surrounding area was already involved in the flames of war.
Later, Xu Jia learned that the ambush targets of the 300 people led by Huo Qubing were actually 2,000 Qiang tribesmen...
But just now they had completed their first charge, and more than a hundred Qiang people were stabbed to death and wounded.
In the blink of an eye, the Qiang team led by Mulangtuo rushed over from behind.
If he can defeat this Qiang tribe head-on with two hundred imperial troops, he will be considered truly capable."
The next moment, the light of the sword rose into the sky, as if connected with the bright moon on the dome, penetrating the sky and the earth, and its sharpness soared!
The man in black avoided answering: "After Huo Qubing made that slash, it seemed that he didn't intend to strike again."
After the Military Mansion was opened to the public, everyone was allowed to come in and out. Have you ever gone to see it? Only two people were selected at that time, and one of them was Huo Qubing. If you look at the people alongside him in the Military Mansion, you will know why we should pay attention to it.
he."
"Our people include practitioners from almost all schools and sects, except for military strategists. He is not attached to a powerful country, has no soldiers, and has never been on the battlefield. It is difficult to achieve success. Why do you think we pay so much attention to him?
His resurrection plan was mainly used to control the resurrected bodies. His control over Anwa and Mulangtuo continued to weaken as time went on, so he was forced to take action as soon as possible, which was not the best time.
Seen from a distance, he was stabbed in the waist and ribs by Anwa on the flank, and he fell from his horse.
After the two sides got closer, Jin Wu, the general of King Xiutu, seemed to want to explain the misunderstanding. However, when the two sides met, Anwa and Mulangtuo suddenly took action, attacking Jin Wu one after another without mercy.
In a trance, it was like thunderbolts intersecting, the sound of thunder in the void suddenly disappeared, and the sword's light returned to its sheath.
"His men should still have hidden strength, and it's definitely not just the two hundred forbidden troops."
Now that the momentum has been established and the distance is so close, rashly reining in the charge would be tantamount to handing over the initiative to the other party, and I would not be able to do that."
The Xiongnu and Qiang tribesmen were all stunned.
The key is... extremely fast.
"Are you going to Chang'an? In what capacity?"
A total of six thousand troops left the camp.
The woman said: "What he came to Beiguan for must have something to do with the Western Regions. He couldn't come to uproot a Qiang tribe."
The Han army that came out was unparalleled in ferocity. They attacked fiercely and phantoms appeared after stabbing with their spears.
Opposite Dianzhen, Huo Qubing rode Jin'an and walked out slowly.
The man in black snorted coldly: "If I use my true power, he will lose his battlefield strength and gain strength, and he will never be my opponent."
Why did the Han army suddenly attack the camp!
Fortunately, a melee has begun.
"Those who attack our Han people will be killed without mercy. Kill these Qiang people!"
Huo Qubing's sword seemed to have taken away the creation of heaven and earth. He hunted down the enemy generals with one blow and beheaded them to win the championship.
"You seem to know him very well. Have you ever been in contact with him?" The man in black frowned.
The woman took a step from the pile of loess, 'floated' into the night like a weightless one, and lost her trace in the blink of an eye:
"Let's go. If you stay any longer, you might be induced by him."
The woman's voice was disembodied, as if she had traveled a long distance.
The man in black looked at the battle between the Han army and the Qiang people in the distance, and whispered: "Trash." After saying that, he disappeared into the darkness.
