In the third year of Yuanshuo, Huo Qubing was fourteen years old.
The Xiongnu Great Chan Yu Yizhi sent tens of thousands of cavalry to attack the Dai County of Han Dynasty, killing the prefect of Dai County and thousands of his subordinates.
In autumn, they attacked Yanmen again, killed and looted, and then left.
In the fourth year of Yuanshuo, Yi Zhixie once again led his army southward, each with 30,000 cavalry to attack Daijun, Dingxiang and Shangjun, three important towns in the northern part of the Han Dynasty.
King Youxian of the Xiongnu led a group of soldiers and horses to attack Shuofang County.
The two armies fought fiercely, and the ground was stained red with blood.
In the spring of the fifth year of Yuanshuo, when Huo Qubing was sixteen years old, the Han army, led by Wei Qing, launched a bold counterattack. Li Xi and Zhang Cigong left Beiping County to attack the left part of the Xiongnu as a containment.
And Wei Qing led 30,000 cavalry out of Shuofang and Gaoque.
Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, he lurked for more than 600 miles at night, attacked King Youxian, defeated the Xiongnu, and captured more than ten people of King Pi, totaling 15,000 men and women.
Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed when he found out about the battle. It was that battle and he asked Wei Qing to come in and pay homage to the general.
During the war, Wei Wei Qing divided the rewards given to him by Liu Che equally among the soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition, and he was highly regarded by the soldiers.
The current battle of Dingxiangbei is based on the above battles.
For hundreds of years, the nomadic peoples around the Han Dynasty took advantage of the flexibility of cavalry and had the main offensive advantage most of the time, until the emergence of Wei Qing.
He made the myth that the Xiongnu was almost invincible since the early Han Dynasty a thing of the past.
So far, he has faced the Huns three times and won every time.
In the Battle of Dingxiangbei, Liu Che had high hopes, hoping to defeat the Huns again.
Therefore, Wei Qing changed his previously formulated strategy and chose to take the initiative!
At this time, Wei Qing led his army and stood on a low hill, followed by a group of generals, and behind him were tens of thousands of Han troops with outstanding armor.
In front of them, the Han flag was fluttering in the strong wind of the grassland, and the shouts of killing were deafening.
The Han and Hungarian sides faced each other on the plains. More than 10,000 people fought on the battlefield under the scorching afternoon sun, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, while more soldiers were waiting.
Wei Qing's brows were filled with Qi, and there was a military palace in it, which was transformed by the Qi of the soldiers.
The appearance of this soldier talisman made Wei Qing seem to be integrated with the thousands of troops fighting on the field, and he could see the subtle changes on the battlefield.
When a military strategist reaches the realm of heaven and man, he transforms into a military talisman, which can multiply the military strategist's consciousness and combat power on the battlefield, making the battlefield feel like a realm.
Wei Qing's soldier talisman is named Ten Thousand Arms. Through the soldier talisman, the battlefield is reflected in his consciousness, like a chessboard, giving him a unique perspective to view the overall situation and control the ten thousand armies.
On the battlefield reflected in the sea of consciousness, soldiers advance and retreat, and strict laws and regulations help Wei Qing make the most correct battlefield choice.
"Send the order, the front formation retracts and retreats to defend, creating a situation of waiting for work. The rear formation presses forward, preparing to fire crossbows and arrows to support the front formation!"
Wei Qing's eyes flashed with ice-like calmness as he passed orders in an orderly manner!
Later, some soldiers conveyed Wei Qing's orders through the sound of drums that shook the battlefield.
On the battlefield, countless Han troops pointed their spears forward, cooperated with each other, and quickly contracted to form a square formation.
On the battlefield a little further away, a Huns cavalry appeared very suddenly, rolling towards the battlefield as fast as the wind, trying to tear apart the Han army's array from the flank.
Unfortunately, Wei Qing had already sensed the opportunity in advance and responded.
When this group of troops entered the battlefield, the Han army's front line returned to defend, and the rear line fired thousands of arrows, and the bowstrings vibrated with a deafening sound.
"kill!"
The leather shields in front of the Huns cavalry were also painted with complex and bright patterns to enhance their defense. However, under the arrows of the Han army that carved secret patterns, they were quickly penetrated and fell off the horse.
In the rear line of the Xiongnu, King Qu Mengmeifeng of Youguli frowned: "Wei Qing can sense any change on the battlefield in time, so it is really not easy to deal with it!
Send the order, the rear formations will slant out from the left and right sides for protection, and the front troops will retreat to lure the Han army to pursue!"
"What clever strategy does King Guli have to defeat the enemy?" Next to Qu Meng was a follower sent by Yi Zhixie.
"In this battle, our army was defeated first and then won. I did not invest many troops. I just wanted to facilitate the withdrawal and lure the Han army deeper into the grassland step by step, which would definitely lead to their defeat." Qu Meng's eyes were as bright as fire.
The Xiongnu tribe immediately retreated and began to retreat.
In late April, the main forces of the Xiongnu and Han armies had several small-scale tentative confrontations three hundred miles north of Dingxiang County.
Under the leadership of Wei Qing, the Han army won every battle!
Another group of Xiongnu cavalry separated from the main force, quietly pushed to the northern line of the Han army, broke into pieces, and harassed various cities in the Northern Pass of the Han Dynasty.
They tried to extend the attack line as much as possible to test the strength of the Han border defense.
But Li Guang, who was responsible for guarding the city, also guarded the border gates tightly.
A small number of Xiongnu cavalry tried to go around the city, but they encountered Zhao Ponu's tribe, who had been ordered by Huo Qubing to lead troops to the border to fight and assist.
This team is small in number, but they are the best among the best. They appear and disappear in the border cities and are victorious in consecutive battles.
When the Chang'an government and the public heard the news, everyone was overjoyed.
What is a little strange is that Huo Qubing, who is so belligerent, has not yet shown up to participate in the war in person.
This evening, the sunset was like fire.
In the study of Huo Mansion in Chang'an, Huo Qubing had been practicing behind closed doors for several days.
In front of him, the Spirit Snake Pill was shining brightly after days of warming.
The soul in the sea of consciousness, the Soaring Snake, suddenly reached out and swallowed the elixir into his mouth. When the medicine was released, he returned to the sea of consciousness, and the military energy in Huo Qubing's body immediately surged.
The 'great elixir' formed between Teng She's eyebrows, drawn from the ancient well and from the military strategies in the military books, was also driven and integrated by the medicinal power, slowly glowing, completely formed, falling off from Teng She's eyebrows, and melted into Huo Qubing's whole body.
Click!
It was as if the shackles within his body had been broken away and broken.
In the sea of consciousness, the five wisps of aura that first rose from the ancient well together with Soaring Snake, as well as the strategies and strategies that appeared in the military books, all rose up and blended together, and finally condensed to form the outline of a military talisman above his sea of consciousness.
!
This military talisman has a square shape, with yang on the top and yin on the bottom. There are five auras of the yin talisman and seven techniques of the original meridian gathered on it, corresponding to the four directions and the center. Except for the wings of the flying snake, which are the clearest, the other four
In the Tao aura, another shape vaguely emerged.
It seemed to be an old turtle, with its neck raised and its head raised, its breath thick as a mountain.
With the appearance of this military talisman, the soldiers' murderous aura spread, and in the night sky above Chang'an, there were stars emitting a bloody halo. Even the ordinary people in the city felt inexplicable and awe-inspiring at this moment.
fear.
Those who are cultivators can clearly sense the terrifying fluctuations coming from the Huo Mansion.
In the study, Huo Qubing slowly opened his eyes: "You still need to go to the battlefield to breathe in your military energy, condense your military talismans, and complete the last step before you can truly enter the realm of heaven and man.
The elixir energy that Teng Snake absorbed from the ancient well is used to break through barriers. Once formed, can it break through once?"
The next morning, a secret agent came to Huo Mansion: "The Zhao Ponu Department on the northern front sent news. After joint investigation by them and my secret agent, we have found the command location of the Xiongnu troops attacking the border."
Huo Qubing thought: Just right.
In this battle of Dingxiangbei, Wei Qing was leading the troops. Huo Qubing was very aware of Wei Qing's ability, so when he calculated the outcome of both sides in advance, he decided to provide support on the inside in the early stage and attack the small group of Xiongnu invaders.
The cavalry on the side.
Therefore, he first asked Zhao Ponu to go to the northern front without going there himself.
The Huns were looking for loopholes in the defense of the Han border, and Zhao Ponu went to the border with Huo Qubing's order to find the camp of the Huns' border tribes.
It was Huo Qubing's small goal to destroy the commander of the Xiongnu bandits.
At noon that day, accompanied by Yao Zhao and an elite group of nearly a hundred people, he left Chang'an and headed straight for Beiguan.
When they left, in the corner of the Chang'an Guards barracks, a small school formerly belonging to the Northern Army silently recorded the time and number of people Huo Qubing left the camp.
Half an hour later, the news reached Liu Qian.
Snap!
Liu Qian clapped his hands and shouted: "Huo Qubing finally went to Beiguan."
"There is another piece of news. The team led by Zhao Ponu under Huo Qubing came and went like the wind. Although we had reported their movements before, they were moving between the border cities and the Huns did not find an opportunity to attack them.
Carry out killing.
Huo Qubing is gone, and the Huns may not be able to lead him to death." The attendant said.
Liu Qian frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, it seems I have to ask you to go there in person."
"If I go, I won't be able to do anything if I don't have anyone on my hands. If I arrange too many people to make too much noise, I might not be able to keep the secret," said the middle-aged man behind Liu Qian.
"It doesn't matter. You go over first. At this time, the two sides are fighting in the north. The situation is chaotic. Who can tell how many Xiongnu tribes there are? If it is really impossible, don't force it."
Liu Qian said firmly: "Are you really sure of defeating Huo Qubing?"
"If there are equal numbers of people available, the chances are great." The middle-aged man said calmly.
————
A few days later, in the morning.
A hundred miles north of Shuofang County of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing and Zhao Ponu's tribes gathered together and marched quickly, preparing to surprise the place where the Huns' rangers were stationed.
Huo Qubing, who was riding on Jin'an's back, suddenly waved his hand while he was galloping. The entire team reacted immediately, reining in the horse and stopping in one smooth motion.
