Hu Chuquan slapped Liu Bao's right hand away from his collar, looked at Liu Bao with a determined expression, and said word for word: "The people of the God of Heaven are never afraid of death. The land of Shuofang, this huge Hetao Plain
It was used by our ancestors for hundreds of years.
Several generations of hard work have been won bit by bit with blood, flesh and blood. I will never allow him to be lost like this, and hundreds of thousands of Huns will not allow him to be lost like this without a fight.
Those who retreat give up.”
Hu Chuquan stepped back step by step, his eagle-like eyes flashing sharply, staring at Liu Bao, "You are Shanyu, no one can command you to move. If you want to retreat, then you can retreat."
Just leave some seeds for my Xiongnu tribe. But I will never retreat, nor will the more than 6,000 households on my right. Even if we die, we will die on the way to charge. Even if we die, we will die on the way to charge.
Bury your bones in your hometown!"
"The eagle on the grassland is willing to fight to the death!" After saying these last words, Hu Chuquan turned around and left Liu Bao's camp. His high-pitched voice echoed endlessly, "My sons, gather your troops and follow me!"
"Chanyu!" The strong bodyguard looked at the confrontation between the two giants of his tribe with fear. At this time, he looked at Huchuquan who was leaving. Hearing the passionate roar, he quietly looked sideways at Liu Bao and hesitated for a moment.
He cautiously said: "I think what King Youxian said is not unreasonable. The land of Hetao
, with abundant water and grass, the overall environment can be said to be the most suitable for our survival. And outside of this, except for the territory occupied by the Xianbei Empire, it is basically the yellow sand of Mobei. If we really retreat without a fight
, abandoning the ancestral land of Hetao and staying away from the territory of the Han Dynasty, then..."
"The lost dog!" Liu Bao coldly interrupted the words of the strong guard, and looked into the distance with an expressionless face, "Xianbei, Qiang people, Han people, and now the Qin people, no one can tolerate the Huns.
, it will only get worse!”
"Perhaps, what you said is not wrong. How long can the Huns survive without the Loop!" Liu Bao sighed and murmured to himself: "It turns out that we have no way out for a long time. I still don't have you to watch."
Yuan, you see clearly, if my father had really given this position to you, maybe we would have lived a better life!"
"No, I will prove that I will prove that my father's decision is not wrong. I will prove that I can also lead my Huns to find a way out of the desperate situation!" Shaking his head, Liu Bao felt measured and looked decisive.
He shouted loudly: "To'ersuo, go and pass on my order. All the Xiongnu tribes must gather together. All men taller than a wheel are equipped with arrows and crossbows. Come with me to meet the Lord of Qin and fight for a way out for me, the Xiongnu!"
...
The sky is blue and the wilderness is vast.
As winter turns to spring, the Hetao Grassland is like a green pearl in the Mobei frontier, dotting this vast land. It supports countless cattle, sheep, horses, and foreign people who make a living on it.
If some Qiang people can be regarded as half native people, then the Huns have laid the foundation for future sinicization and internal settlement since the Huhanxie went south to attach themselves to the Han Dynasty in the fourth year of Wufeng. And when they arrived, the north and south were separated.
, after being given the land of Hetao by Emperor Guangwu to recuperate, the Huns basically took root here.
After following the imperial edict and moving to Meiji County, Xihe County, and setting up a royal court, and setting up various tribes and kings to help the Han defend the northern frontiers. After sending envoys to the court every year to contribute gifts and report border information, the southern Huns had basically
Even if they became part of the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for Emperor Huan Ling and if it weren't for Jiazi Yellow Turban, the Xiongnu might really be able to completely integrate with the local Han people year after year.
Therefore, for Huchuquan and most of the Huns, if they are really allowed to leave Hetao, their recognized hometown, they really don’t know where else to go. Of course, Liu Bao is actually in a similar situation, but
, he was frightened by Da Qin before and made the decision to continue escaping. But when Huchuquan gave him a wake-up call, he had actually figured out the situation.
Fighting with all one's strength and discussing the future has become the only choice for the Huns now, and it is also the last choice left by Ying Zige for Liu Bao.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The desolate sound of horns resounded across the grassland, and the momentum of thousands of horses galloping was frightening.
After Huchuquan left Liu Bao's camp, he directly organized the army and summoned 7,000 elites under his right command and nearly 10,000 herdsmen in fine clothing, forming a cavalry army of nearly 20,000 horses and heading towards Utla in Shuofang County.
Go to the grassland.
This battle cannot be delayed.
Huchuquan deeply understood this truth. The Huns were already heartbroken. The 7,000 elites under his command, including the personal guards, were okay, but the more than 10,000 well-dressed people were never the Huns who were dedicated to fighting.
Soldiers, it is easy to say that they should be allowed to fight in the name of protecting their homeland in a short period of time, but once the delay continues, as long as the Qin army shows a tendency to surrender, Huchuquan cannot guarantee that the herdsmen under his command will be able to endure it.
Although the Huns are like many nomadic peoples living on the grasslands, every adult man is a skilled marksman with a bow and horse, and all the people are soldiers. This is actually the reason why Huchuquan still has the courage to continue to resist the Qin army.
The final confidence to continue the battle with Ying Zige, but there is still a gap between the herdsmen summoned temporarily and the real elite soldiers who have been trained under his command.
The biggest difference is that the real Xiongnu elites can fight to the death and will never retreat unless ordered by the leader. However, ordinary Xiongnu herdsmen have learned that the strong is king on the grassland. In their view, surrendering to the strong who cannot be defeated has never been possible.
Nothing is unacceptable.
"King Xian, the scouts have sent word that the Qin army's forward has been spotted in the front!" Huchuquan was advancing as he straddled his horse and raised his sword. The guards in front hurriedly rode up to him to report.
Huchuquan reined in his horse, nodded and asked, "How many people are there?"
"About five thousand people!" the guard responded, and after thinking for a while, he added: "The scout said that the flag was raised by Zhang, but he saw many traces and flags of the Qiang people, including those from the Shenlang tribe and those from the Xianling tribe!
"
"Damn it!" Huchuquan snorted coldly, "Let's go, before their army arrives, kill them first!"
The Xiongnu scouts did a good job in the investigation. The leader of the army on the opposite side was Zhang Xiu. After completing the calculations against the two Qiang tribes, Xianling and Shenlang, and striking a huge blow to ambush the Xiongnu elite who went to the two tribes respectively.
, Ying Zige did not wait much, and after quickly completing the integration of the many troops under his command and the Hu troops who had come to join him, he directly led an army of 30,000 into three armies, the front, middle and rear, and headed towards Guangmu County.
.
Among them, the main force of the army was led by Ying Zige personally, with about 20,000 troops pressing forward step by step. The rear army was led by Wang Li, who led 5,000 troops and horses to ensure logistics. As for the young and energetic Zhang Xiu, under Ying Zige's deliberate training and guidance
, he personally asked Ying to lead a thousand Daqin black-armored guards and four thousand Qiang people as the vanguard to take the lead in the march.
