The Xiongnu believed in the Kunlun God. Every year, various tribes of the Xiongnu would gather in Dragon City to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestors, and the Kunlun God. Before the war, sacrifices would also be held, and the priests would be responsible for presiding over the sacrifices.
"What if God Kunlun is invited to come?" Gu Tu said.
"Kunlun God's power can only stay in the human world for one day. Are you sure you want to use it now?" the priest said.
Gu Tu was silent for a moment and waved his hand, "It's better to wait until the decisive battle before using it."
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Lian Po asked immediately after returning to the camp. He couldn't wait any longer.
The rear had just finished building two thousand pairs of full armor according to the standards he required, and sent people to rush to deliver them. They worked non-stop along the way, and finally delivered them to Jiuyuan last night.
Each piece of armor is tailor-made and covers the whole body from head to toe. Ordinary attacks have no effect on this set of armor.
Lian Po was eager to test his strength through actual combat.
The other generals are also gearing up and want to have a fight with Rong Di.
Zhao Kuo smiled, walked to the main seat and sat down. His eyes swept over everyone's face. Everyone held their heads high, hoping that Zhao Kuo would call their names.
"Pang Nuan listens to the order." Finally, Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
"The end is here." Pang Nuan's face lit up, he took a step forward, cupped his fists and said.
"I order you to lead 30,000 cavalry, go north to the ancient Siyang Road, cross the Yangshan and Yinshan mountains, attack the Xiongnu base camp, and wipe out the Xiongnu rear." Zhao Kuo said loudly.
Almost all the Xiongnu troops were on the front line, and even if there were a certain number of soldiers left in the rear, they would never be many. However, to be on the safe side, Zhao Kuo still gave Pang Nuan 30,000 troops.
"No." Pang Nuan was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be this order. Then he looked happy. Although he couldn't fight the Huns head-on, thinking about being able to destroy the Huns' base camp, Pang Nuan was trembling with excitement and immediately took the military order.
Turn around and stride away.
"Lejian, Qingshe, Rongchen, listen to the order." Zhao Kuo ordered the general again.
"The end is here." The three of them looked excited, took a step forward, and said with clasped fists.
"The three of you will each command 3,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 Rongdi soldiers. They will go north from the ancient Jianyang Road, bypass the Yinshan Mountains, attack Gaoque Fortress, Jilu Fortress and Wuyuan Fortress, cutting off the Xiongnu's retreat. The three fortresses were lost.
After more than ten years, it’s time to return to our Kingdom of Zhao. In this battle, I will keep all the Huns in Hetao." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
After King Zhao Wuling occupied Hetao, in order to resist the Huns from the north, he built several forts in the south of Langshan to prevent the Huns from going south. Among them, Gaoque Fortress and Jilu Fortress were just pure military fortresses, while Wuyuan was not only a military fortress, but also a military fortress.
It was also the main important city of Zhao State in the northwest region.
Historically, after the Zhao Kingdom was lost, it was not recovered until Meng Tian. However, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the south of the Yin Mountain fell into the hands of the Xiongnu again. It was not recovered again until the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"No." The three of them said solemnly. Although they could not participate in the frontal battlefield, nor could they make a surprise attack on the hinterland of the Huns like Pang Nuan, it was still a great achievement to be able to cut off the enemy's retreat.
"Jun Lou Fan, it's up to you to assist them both in this matter. I remember that one of your Lou Fan faction defected to the Huns. The Huns probably can't tell which branch you Lou Fan guys belong to." Zhao Kuo looked at Lou Fan Jun.
Until now, when those Rong and Di were standing in front of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo couldn't tell which ones belonged to Lin Hu, which belonged to Lou Fan, or the He Zong. In his opinion, the Huns were already very powerful in being able to distinguish these.
Maybe you can tell which branch of Lou Fan they belong to.
In fact, Zhao Kuo still overestimated the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu, like the Zhao State, could not distinguish the relationship between the Rong and the Di. In the eyes of the Zhao State, whether they were the Xiongnu, Lin Hu, or Lou Fan, they were all the Rong and the Di.
, they belong to the same group. But from the Xiongnu's point of view, they are not the same people at all.
"General, I understand." Loufanjun Qiya leaned over and said.
The four turned and left, and Zhao Kuo continued to arrange military orders. "In addition, send someone to inform Sima Shang to lead 15,000 Great Wall Guards to go north out of the Yinshan Baidao to attack the base camp of Hurui and Loufan."
Zhao Kuo left Sima Shang in Yuanyang, waiting for
On this day, the Huns are going to attack, and Lou Fan will not be spared.
"Three days later, at nine o'clock and three quarters, all the troops will be mobilized to attack the Xiongnu. After this battle, there will be no more Rongdi in the northern border of Zhao." Then, Zhao Kuo stood up and said loudly.
"No more Rong Di." Everyone said loudly.
"Okay, let's go down and get ready." Zhao Kuo said.
In the next three days, Zhao Jun's food was very rich. General Zhao Kuo brought out all the cattle and sheep, as well as a large amount of pork, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. transported from the rear. Every soldier could eat meat.
, even Rong Di can get a piece of it.
After winning, Zhao Guo will get all the cattle, sheep and livestock of Rong Di, no less than this. If he loses... Zhao Guo will never lose.
Along with the meat, there was also a large amount of wine. Zhao people loved wine, and there were wine houses everywhere among the people. However, drinking alcohol has always been prohibited in the army, and this time it was an exception. Except for the guards, every soldier could drink it every meal.
A bowl of wine was given to the soldiers, who had not tasted alcohol for months, to satisfy their cravings. Their morale continued to rise, and even the war clouds in the sky became thicker.
Zhao Kuo dispersed the soldiers of Rong and Di to various legions to serve as Zhao Jun's retinues, and issued armor and weapons to them. It was difficult for these Rong and Di to take on big responsibilities, but if they followed Zhao Jun, they could still perform to some extent.
Some fighting ability.
The Xiongnu seemed to have sensed Zhao Jun's movements, and they had some suspicions. After all, Zhao Jun had not concealed anything. The Xiongnu began to mobilize troops from the rear. Gu Tu also sent troops to sneak attack Zhao Jun, but was discovered by Lian Po who was guarding the camp.
, no one escaped back.
After that, the Xiongnu gave up the idea of sneak attack on Zhao Jun.
Three days later, before dawn, all the soldiers filled a bamboo tube with a bucket of salted water and tied it around their waists. They also received two pieces of dry food and stuffed them into their arms. They put on their helmets and armor and went to their respective places.
They gathered in front of the military camp. Then, under the leadership of the general, they began to leave the camp. The war clouds in the sky rolled crazily, covering the sky and the sun, like huge waves on the sea floor that kept hitting the earth.
A chilling atmosphere filled the space, no one was talking to each other, and even Rong Di's soldiers were infected by the atmosphere and became rigid.
All the cavalry are equipped with saddles, stirrups, and iron shoes. Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need to hide it. Use whatever means are available.
Zhao Kuo stood on a tall chariot, pulled by six majestic horses, and slowly approached the battlefield. Cai Ze, Li Fu, Huang Shigong, Han Fei, Li Si and others also rode on the chariot, and Zhao Kuo
