Le Yi and Lian Po regained the He Zong clan. After Lin Hu, they did not join Zhao Kuo. Instead, they recruited more than 80% of the young men of the two clans and integrated them into an army. They marched westward along the river, conquering other Rong and Di along the way and looking for them.
Traces of the Huns.
As losers, although He Zongshi and Lin Hu wanted to resist, they were unable to make a comeback.
If you obey me honestly, you still have a chance to survive. If you dare to resist, you will end up dead in the forest. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only keep it in your heart and keep a smile on your face.
"General, did your Majesty tell you what to do with us?" He Zongjun said with a smile on his face. The contrast with his strong body was so great that Le Yi couldn't bear to look at it.
"The king said, everything depends on your performance. If you perform well, you will be like the Zhao people. If you don't perform well, you will be like the Huns." Le Yi turned his face and said expressionlessly.
The corners of King He Zong's mouth twitched. From the manpower and material resources used by the Zhao State this time, he could also see that the Zhao State was determined not to give up until the Huns were destroyed. He did not want to end up like the Huns.
"General, don't worry, I, He Zong, will do our best to help Zhao Guo win." He Zongjun assured, patting his chest.
Le Yi smiled. The fighting power of these people was obvious to all. Expecting them to win could only be a dream. Zhao Guo had never pinned the hope of victory on them.
However, if these people charge behind Zhao Jun, they can exert some combat effectiveness.
"When the time comes, all you have to do is block the other Rong Di." Le Yi said.
"Thank you, General." He Zongjun breathed a sigh of relief. If he only fought against other Rong Di, there should not be too many casualties.
"Report~~ General, traces of the Huns army have been found ahead." At this time, a scout came on horseback and said urgently.
…
Gu Tu was in a very good mood during this period. After regaining Quyan, the Xiongnu's strength expanded again.
Qu Yan was defeated by Qin last year, with tens of thousands of casualties and injuries, and his vitality was severely damaged. Facing the Xiongnu army pressing on the border, Quyan had no way to resist, so he had no choice but to rely on the Xiongnu.
Gu Tu regretted very much that he had stayed in the desert doing nothing for so many years. If this natural disaster hadn't forced him to go south, he wouldn't have known that he was already so strong.
Nowadays, he is no longer satisfied to stay in the bitter cold desert and become a small tribe. He wants to occupy the fertile grassland of Hetao and reach the Central Plains to see the legendary prosperous place!
Behind Gu Tu were eight thousand majestic Hun kings. They were riding on war horses, with bright eyes and uniformity. In just a few months, they followed the Chanyu to conquer dozens of tribes, large and small, and their momentum was unprecedented.
Earth-shaking changes.
"It's time to fight Zhao Guo." The Xiongnu looked to the east and murmured.
Soon, the Huns discovered Le Yi's army.
"How many people are there in Zhao Jun?" Gu Tu's eyes lit up. He was really expecting something to come. He was just about to lead the army to search for traces of Zhao Jun when Zhao Jun himself appeared.
"Chanyu, Zhao's army is probably between 60,000 and 80,000, and judging from the costumes, more than half of them should be from nearby barbarians," the scout said.
"Catch up!" Gu Tu immediately ordered.
This time he brought an army of 150,000 Xiongnu and 70,000 Quyan cavalry, a total of 220,000 troops and tens of thousands of Zhao military districts. They will not be destroyed now, but when will it be better?
As for the banner with the word "乐", Gu Tu said that he had never heard of it. The most powerful figure in the Central Plains he knew was King Wuling of Zhao a few years ago. Later, a guy named Qin Kai came out of the Yan Kingdom and bullied Dong Hu very much.
Unfortunately, a lot of territory was lost. Then there were the generals who guarded the frontiers of the Zhao Kingdom. Among them, none of them had the surname Le.
Besides... Gu Tu looked at the boundless army behind him and felt confident in his heart. For several months, he had not lost a game, not in the past, not now, not in the future!
…
"General, let's withdraw. The Xiongnu army is too large." He Zongjun said anxiously. The Xiongnu army was several times larger than the Zhao army, and they were all cavalry. He really didn't know how to fight.
"No, we only have three thousand cavalry and we can't outrun them. Form up and fight!" Le Yi said decisively. The two-legged ones can't outrun the four-legged ones no matter what. If we form a formation to meet the enemy, we may win. Turn around and run away.
If you leave your back to the enemy, you will definitely lose.
As for the vassal Rong and Di cavalry, Le Yi never counted them.
"Send ten teams and spread out to ask for help. Jiuyuan is not far from here, and Pang Nuan's army should be there." Le Yi said.
He led very few cavalry, but all of Pang Nuan's legions were made up of cavalry. As long as they could arrive in time, Le Yi was confident not only to defeat the Huns, but also to fight back.
"Lejian, you lead the sword and shield soldiers to block the Huns' charge!" Le Yi continued to order.
"No." Lejian cupped his fists and saluted, and without saying a word, he led the sword and shield soldiers to start forming an array.
"General, let me do it." Yan Zhou said. Not all sword and shield soldiers are called Xuanjia Army. For most of the shield soldiers, standing at the front to resist the cavalry means a narrow escape. But Le Yi,
He left the most dangerous place to his son.
"You are responsible for commanding the cavalry." Le Yi's face was full of coldness, and his eyes were fixed on the end of the horizon. As the earth shook violently, the Hun cavalry quickly came into sight.
Seeing how determined Le Yi was, Yan Zhou had no choice but to obey the order.
"Qingshe, you and Lord He Zong are responsible for these soldiers." Le Yi looked at Qingshe, made a beheading gesture, and said coldly, "Those who disobey orders will be killed without mercy, and those who are afraid will be killed without mercy."
"I will finally understand." Qingshe said with his fists clasped.
He Zongjun shuddered and said quickly: "General, don't worry, we will absolutely obey orders."
"Zhao Jun is Zhao Jun, and it is different from those Rong Di." Gu Tu looked at the Zhao Jun who was waiting in front of him, and said with sincerity. After fighting so many tribes, this was the first time that a large army responded so quickly.
Even if they haven't fought yet, in terms of momentum alone, Zhao Jun is not comparable to those of Rong Di.
"Zhao Jun is different from all the enemies we have faced in the past. Everyone cheers me up!" Gu Tu said loudly, showing off his talents and covering the most elite 30,000 Huns cavalry.
There is no way, if his talent is used to bless the legion, it can only cover up to 30,000 people.
"Kunlun God is invincible! Charge!" Gu Tu roared, suddenly swung the sword in his hand, pointed the blade forward, and took the lead in charging towards Zhao Jun.
"Get ready!" Seeing the Xiongnu army getting closer and closer, Le Yi raised his left hand high and waved forward, and a gray light fell into the Xiongnu army.
Chaos!
Immediately afterwards, the palm of his hand was cut down violently, "Fire the arrow!"
