Night has fallen, and stars fill the vast deep sky.
Four hundred and sixty miles north of Dingxiang County, on the grassland.
Wei Qing was dressed in military uniform, standing with his hands down. Standing next to him was his friend and subordinate Gongsun Ao, as well as two accompanying generals and several soldiers.
In front of their sight was a continuous line of tents, where the Han army set up camp.
"The scouts made several expeditions and found no trace of the Huns' cavalry as far as seventy miles away."
Gongsun Ao said: "Why did the general judge that the Huns would attack tonight?"
Wei Qing said slowly: "The Xiongnu suffered a new defeat last year and must be eager to win. I led the army into the grassland and abandoned the city to defend it. They saw it as a good opportunity and could not wait any longer. They would definitely use the flexibility and impact of the cavalry to attack the camp.
.”
"So you're camping out here in the open, with no danger to defend, as a bait, waiting for them to attack?"
Wei Qing said casually: "Where is the bait on the battlefield? The outcome will not be known until the battle. Let Li Ju prepare a strong crossbow. If the Huns dare to come, the strong crossbow will be at your service."
Gongsun Ao nodded, slightly excited.
Following Wei Qing in defeating the Xiongnu, he had gained confidence and firmly believed that victory in this war would still belong to the Han Dynasty.
Dark clouds cover the moon.
That night, until early in the morning, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly shattered the darkness.
The wind howled on the grassland, as if the shaman god believed by the Huns was roaring.
A Hun cavalry seemed to be galloping out of the strong wind.
This is a mysterious power that the Huns can only use on the grassland. The cavalry is as fast as the storm and can use the strong wind to absorb the sound of hoofbeats.
"The Han army suffers death!"
The Huns soldiers roared and attacked the Han army camp!
However, when they got closer, they discovered that the tents in the camp were filled with elite soldiers in armor and ready, and they were greeted by a rain of powerful crossbows.
When the Huns cavalry saw that they had been tricked, they immediately retreated without suffering much loss.
But Wei Qing turned from defense to offense that night.
The Han army pursued the Xiongnu cavalry who attacked and quickly retreated, thus kicking off the war.
In the Battle of Dingxiangbei, the Han army dispatched more than 100,000 fine cavalry. The central army and the left and right armies supported each other. On this night, they attacked directly where the main force of the Huns was. It was the Huns' turn to unexpectedly join the battle and passively responded to the battle.
The two sides started fighting from early morning until dawn.
The sun is born.
Wei Qing was riding on the back of a divine black horse, looking at the main battlefield ahead.
Thousands of troops were fighting on the battlefield at this time, which was the largest confrontation since the conflict between Han and Hungary.
Tens of thousands of people shouted to kill, the sounds of weapons clashing, war drums beating, and the sound of sharp blades slicing through armor, skin, flesh and bones.
Clang!
A Han soldier swung his sword to hold the short spear thrust by the Huns. The blade of the sword slashed down the spear shaft quickly and hard.
On the hand holding the spear of the Huns soldier, three fingers and half of the palm were cut off.
But in the blink of an eye, the Han army who was wielding a sword was also cut open in the waist by a short sword on the flank, and blood poured out.
Not far away, another Hun soldier's eyes were red and he drew his sword. After taking a breath, this Hun soldier also died in the hands of a Han military captain.
The battlefield is chaotic, and similar scenes are repeated repeatedly.
In the real battlefield, there is no time to be afraid, killing the opponent is more like an instinct.
Wei Qing's face was solemn, and the changes on the battlefield were reflected in his sea of consciousness.
Opposite him, behind the Huns army that spanned the entire battlefield, the Great Chan Yu Yi Zhixie personally led the army, wearing a golden helmet and riding on a tall horse.
The Xiongnu were originally on the offensive, but Wei Qing did not expect that Wei Qing would take advantage of the Xiongnu cavalry to attack the camp, eliminate them, and then counterattack, suddenly starting a battle.
When the two sides fought in the early morning, the Huns were in a passive position.
By daybreak, their disadvantage was gradually magnified and became more and more obvious.
Yi Zhi was riding sideways on the horse, his face full of anger, and his hand holding the whip turned white from the extra effort.
On the other horse next to him was a Hun general who had just been beaten by him and had bloodstains on his face. It was the Hun cavalry leader Norizo who had advocated the cavalry attack on the Han army last night.
Wei Qing surveyed the battlefield situation and sighed secretly.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Han army's advantage will eventually turn into victory.
Only then did Wei Qing have the opportunity to turn around and ask Huo Qubing beside him: "Why are you here?"
At dawn, Huo Qubing came with his troops, spears in hand, entered the battlefield from the left wing, joined the battle brazenly, and finally came to Wei Qing's side.
At this time, Zhao Ponu and others were still on the battlefield, fighting with the Xiongnu soldiers.
The spear in Huo Qubing's hand was stained with blood, but his eyes were extra bright. Like Wei Qing, he scanned everywhere on the battlefield.
The Han army is slowly gaining the upper hand, and the Xiongnu have shown signs of moving back and preparing to retreat slowly.
"Blow the drums to force the three armies to press hard and prevent the Xiongnu from retreating." Wei Qing ordered.
Huo Qubing: "I'm here to absorb the energy of the battlefield, prepare to attack the realm of heaven and man, and form a military talisman!"
Wei Qing was suddenly surprised and turned around and said, "You have only been in the Bingjiu Realm for ten months, and you want to break through the Heavenly Realm again?"
Gongsun Ao and other surrounding generals also looked surprised. They turned around and looked over. They probably felt that Huo Qubing was too quick and it was not a good thing to forcefully break through.
"Qu Bing, you have reached the ninth realm of soldiers at the age of seventeen. It is rare in ancient times and modern times. Don't be greedy for haste. The ninth realm of soldiers is particularly important. The more you accumulate, the greater the benefits will be for the future military talismans." Gongsun Ao said in the tone of an elder.
.
Wei Qing glanced at the battlefield again, turned around and grabbed Huo Qubing's wrist, and used Qi to push it in.
In a moment, Wei Qing felt that the energy in Huo Qubing's body was as powerful as a rushing river, flowing through various orifices and connecting to hundreds of meridians.
As expected, he has reached a new realm and is about to enter the realm of heaven and man.
Wei Qing withdrew his hand in astonishment: "How can you push the Qi of Bingjiu Realm to such a strong level within ten months?"
Huo Qubing spread his hands, meaning that this speed was normal and he didn't do it deliberately.
When the other generals saw Wei Qing's reaction and looked at each other, Huo Qubing had already opened his mouth to breathe out his battlefield energy.
Military training is inseparable from absorbing the murderous aura, evil aura, and even the hostility between life and death and the aura of death formed by the confrontation of thousands of people on the battlefield.
Taking it into the body, tempering it to remove impurities, and then using it for one's own use is the invincible military energy!
The larger the battlefield, the more soldiers are involved, and the more murderous the battle is, the greater the benefit to the military strategists.
During the war between Han and Hungary, the main force of the two sides faced each other with more than 100,000 people. The battlefield that determined the fate of the country was the best opportunity to break through the realm of heaven and man.
Huo Qubing swallowed it in one breath.
With a roar, the body was like a river flowing into the sea, hitting the gate of heaven and earth.
On the battlefield, an invisible and insubstantial energy, but one that military strategists could clearly perceive, swarmed towards Huo Qubing's location.
This change in energy even caused celestial phenomena.
The wind and clouds in the sky were turbulent, and another ancient battlefield appeared vaguely in the sky. It was illusive and hazy, as if thousands of armies and horses were fighting.
The derived ancient battlefield was being absorbed by Huo Qubing, pouring towards him.
"Tuna turns into a battlefield!"
Gongsun Ao unexpectedly said: "When each family breaks through, sometimes there will be magical phenomena such as the sun in the sky, or the bright moon rising out of the sea, and the exhalation of Qi will cause an ancient battlefield to emerge. I have never heard of it."
In the sea of consciousness of Huo Qubing, the snake raised its head, and the word "civilization" in the military book was destroyed.
Besides the Soaring Snake, the second spiritual creature of the Seven Yin Talisman Arts of this Sutra seems to be about to resurrect and be reborn.
Another part of the bamboo slips of the Seven Skills of the Book of War has become clear and solid, revealing the writing: Those who cultivate ambition will have unfulfilled thoughts in their heart... Those who have ambition will be driven by desire. If there is too much desire, the heart will be scattered...
Raise your spirit tortoise!
Then all the breath in the body rushed up and poured into the sea of consciousness.
This force pushed Huo Qubing's sea of consciousness to undergo earth-shaking changes, and began to shape his unique military talisman.
On the battlefield, the fighting forces of both sides continued to converge on Huo Qubing's location.
But at this moment, the sky suddenly became dark.
First, deep in the prairie, an astonishing evil aura surged from the direction of the Xiongnu royal court.
Wei Qing's face changed slightly: "Xiongnu Shaman!"
The dark clouds are rolling in the sky, like a river flowing.
The rushing clouds formed a huge, skinny hand like a bird's claw, which pressed down from high in the sky and cut off the vision of the ancient battlefield in the sky where Huo Qubing was gathered.
These changes are all manifestations of the spiritual level. Ordinary soldiers are still fighting on the battlefield and do not see the strange phenomena appearing in the sky.
After the scary bird-clawed hand appeared, the changes continued.
On the other side of the sky, another big hand holding a pen appeared.
This hand, holding the pen, drew a stroke in the void, as if cutting off an invisible destiny.
A cold and ruthless voice sounded in Huo Qubing's consciousness: "The Han Dynasty can no longer become a famous general, your life, soul, and talent will stop here!"
Wei Qing's face became more solemn.
The first bird hand to appear, he could vaguely sense the changes in the depths of the grassland, because Huo Qubing broke through the barrier, triggered the weather, and the ancient battlefield was reflected in the sky, trying to destroy it.
The second hand holding the pen came more unexpectedly, more obscurely, and stronger. Even Wei Qing couldn't tell the origin.
Huo Qubing suddenly felt angry, and accidents happened one after another.
