Chapter 210 The princes gathered to kill Hu!Chapter 210 The princes gathered to kill Hu!

”But food and drink for so many people is a big problem. We have to seize the time to attack the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, just the food problem for the 500,000-strong army will be enough to crush us.” King Youxian of the Xiongnu was a little worried said.

”There is nothing to worry about. As long as we break into the Han Dynasty, we will soon have endless food. Those weak Han people are only worthy of being our slaves.” A Xiongnu leader said nonchalantly.

”Don’t be careless. The Han Dynasty has a blood feud with us. Back then, we were driven by the Han Dynasty to that ungrateful place in the west. Although the intelligence says that the Han Dynasty is weak now, seeing is believing. We should be careful now. That’s the best.” said the Xiongnu Youxian King.

”No matter what, since the Chanyu has decided to attack the Han Dynasty, all we can do is provide unconditional support.” King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu said.

”I didn’t say I don’t support it, I just think we should be more cautious.” King Youxian of the Xiongnu explained.

”Okay, stop arguing.” Huyanchu, the Xiongnu Chanyu, said coldly, ”No matter whether the Han Dynasty is really weak or fake, in ten days, the army will go south!”

”Yes, Shanyu!”

……

With half a million troops on the move, even if the Han princes did not focus too much on the north, they would still be able to detect some movement.

Yongzhou, which is close to the two states of Liang and Bin, was originally concerned about the barbarians who frequently invaded from the north. However, because Lu Bu wanted to build a pure warrior army first, he had not had time to attack them.

However, after realizing that the Hu people were gathering in large numbers and that the Northern Huns were secretly controlling the situation, the Han Dynasty immediately exploded.

As far as the Han Dynasty is concerned, other Hu tribes are no more than a disease of grass and mustard. They can deal with it when they have time. However, the Northern Xiongnu, as the orthodox Xiongnu, have been the mortal enemies of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. Once they meet, they will fight to the death. kind.

Because of the incident with the Northern Huns, Lu Bu appeared in the court for the first time since he started practicing.

”Marquis Wen, the Northern Huns are invading, are you willing to lead the army?” Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie stood on the throne and looked at Lu Bu and asked.

”Han and Hungary are not at odds with each other, Bu, it’s your duty to do so!” Lu Bu stepped forward and replied.

”I heard that the Northern Huns have gathered an army of millions of barbarians this time. I have issued an edict to recruit heroes from various states to jointly defend against the enemy. What does Wang Situ think?” Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at Wang Yun again and said.

”Your Majesty is wise, and everyone in the Han Dynasty has the responsibility to fight against the Northern Huns.” Wang Yun replied.

”Well, let’s issue the edict.” Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty nodded slightly.

……

With the issuance of an edict from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty calling on the whole world to conquer the Xiongnu, the princes of the world were shocked.

In Pingyuan County, as soon as Liu Bei learned the contents of the edict, he and his two brothers led their troops and marched towards Chang’an.

In Yanzhou, Cao Cao had not yet become a world hero at this time. He had the dream of being a general in the Western Conquest and immediately led his troops to Chang’an.

In Jiangdong, Sun Ce, who had just conquered the six counties of Jiangdong, did not care about stabilizing his territory, so he and Zhou Yu took their generals to Chang’an.

In addition to these three parties, which almost mobilized in full force, Jingzhou Liu Biao finally sent only three generals Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Wenpin with 10,000 troops based on the principle of voluntariness. Yizhou sent Zhang Ren, and Yuzhou Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling.

Xuzhou Tao Qian was old and could not command those aristocratic families. In the end, he only sent a few unknown generals to make up the numbers.

When Yuan Shao and the eighteen princes of Jizhou attacked Dong, they were reluctant to bring along two of their generals, let alone at this time. In the end, only Zhang He came to express his compliance with the order.

As for Youzhou Gongsun Zan, with his attitude towards the barbarians, he would have definitely sent out all his troops. Unfortunately, he had just turned against Yuan Shao, so he had to leave most of his strength to guard against Yuan Shao, and finally sent Zhao Yun to lead five thousand white horse Yi Cong. Head to Chang’an.

There are yellow scarves everywhere in Qingzhou now, so naturally no one comes.

On the contrary, Zhang Xiu and Ma Teng’s father and son came to Liangzhou, which had been invaded by barbarians. However, they did not receive the inheritance of the Xiliang cavalry, so they only brought hundreds of personal cavalry.

Finally, on the date of the expedition specified in Liu Xie’s edict, dozens of generals from various princes and nearly 200,000 troops gathered on the Northern Army campus.

On the general stage, Lu Bu, the army commander appointed by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie, looked at the mess below and frowned.

”This battle is against the Northern Huns. Almost all of them are cavalry. I want to fight quickly, so... all the infantry will be left behind. I will only take the cavalry. If there are those who don’t believe that I, Lu Bu, can lead you to defeat the Northern Huns, now You can leave.” Lu Bu intended to shock these arrogant soldiers, so his words contained a hint of force, and the loud voice resounded throughout the entire Northern Military Academy.

In the school grounds below, Zhang Fei said to Liu Bei dissatisfied: ”Brother, these three...”

”Ok?”

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu looked at him from above with an oppressive look of planetary spiritual will.

”Brother, this Lu Bu doesn’t know how to fight at all. How about we go and fight against the Northern Huns ourselves?” Under the great shock, even Zhang Fei and other fierce men were startled, and then he changed his mind unconsciously, and The voice instantly dropped several degrees.

”Yide, the military orders are like mountains. Since we are here, let’s follow the army.” Liu Bei said softly.

Although Liu Bei actually didn’t think much of Lu Bu and threatened to bring only cavalry to resist the Northern Huns, the three brothers had few soldiers. If they really didn’t play with the army, they would have nothing to do against hundreds of thousands of barbarians.

Lu Bu’s intimidation still worked. Although some generals may have wanted to follow Lu Bu first, and if that didn’t work, they would escape later, but at least no one dared to directly stand up and oppose him now.

Of course, Lu Bu actually didn’t care how many people went with him to conquer the Northern Huns. There were only a few hundred thousand barbarians. With the 800 ”warriors” under his command, he was enough to completely defeat them, which shocked everyone. He just doesn’t want anyone to contradict him and make him lose face.

The princes of the world gathered a total of nearly 200,000 troops to come, but Lu Bu only wanted cavalry, so in the end only about 30,000 cavalry were sent out. A large part of them were under Lu Bu’s own command. Some princes who were short of horses were the last to participate in the battle. There were even only a few generals with dozens of their personal guards.

However, Lu Bu didn’t care about this. He looked at the 30,000 cavalrymen who had completed their formation below, and waved his hand: ”Let’s go!”

”Isn’t this... too hasty?” Many princes and generals below looked at Lu Bu’s vigorous and resolute style and couldn’t understand it.

How can it be so simple to fight a large army? He didn’t even consider logistical supplies or what would happen if the war ended in a stalemate? How does it feel...it feels a bit like a street gangster’s fight?

Although everyone said that Lu Bu was brave and foolhardy, he was still a battle-hardened general. How could he not understand this?

However, no matter how doubtful they were, since they had decided to follow Lu Bu first and there were so many military orders, they naturally had no choice but to hide their doubts and follow Lu Bu’s army towards the north.

The whole cavalry team marched very fast. In just five days, they marched all the way from Chang’an to Bingzhou. At this time, the Hu army gathered by the Northern Huns had also reached the northern border of Bingzhou, and the two sides were less than two meters apart. Hundreds of kilometers.

”Send an order to the entire army to camp and rest. Prepare the dry food the army will need for three days. The entire army will attack tomorrow and follow me to defeat the Xiongnu.” Lu Bu ordered coldly.

”General Lu, I’m afraid it’s a little inappropriate to only prepare dry food for three days when the army is engaged in battle?” Cao Cao was a man of military knowledge, so he decisively questioned Lu Bu’s decision.

”One day is enough to defeat the Huns. Bring three days of dry food to prevent us from being able to seize enough cattle and sheep to use as military rations during the pursuit.” Lu Bu replied arrogantly. ”This...” Cao Cao wanted to say something more.

However, Lu Bu waved his hand directly and said: ”Those who dare not fight against the Huns with me can just stay in this city and wait for my triumphant return. I will not count you as deserters.”

Seeing Lu Bu being so arrogant, even though all the princes and generals were dissatisfied, no one really said another nonsense.

They are already here, and naturally they are all nationalists who are extremely hostile to the Huns. No one wants to miss the war with the Huns.

Early the next morning, the Han cavalry, who had rested all night, finished their breakfast and checked their weapons and mounts in high spirits, preparing for today’s battle.

”If everything is ready, let’s go!” Lu Bu did not do any pre-war mobilization and directly ordered the army to set off.

Thirty thousand Han Dynasty cavalry marched north. Naturally, such a big movement could not be concealed from the Huns army, which had already sent scouts all over Bingzhou.

”The people of the Han Dynasty have come over. We can’t let them look down upon us. We order the front army to set off immediately and defeat the Han Dynasty vanguard.” Hu Yanchu ordered.

Until now, they had never thought that Lu Bu would be so arrogant that he only used 30,000 cavalry to fight against their 500,000 army. They thought that this was just the vanguard and the army was behind.

”Rumble...Rumble...”

The Hu people were all cavalry, and their numbers were much larger than those of the Han people. This action really felt like the earth was shaking.

The two sides were marching towards each other, and both were cavalry. Even if they were not marching at the highest speed, half a day later, they could still see the smoke and dust caused by the actions of the other side’s army in the distance.

The 500,000 Hu army was too huge to hide, not to mention that the Xiongnu had no intention of hiding after they gathered together.

After Lu Bu figured out the general direction of their army, he didn’t even bother to send scouts. All 30,000 troops gathered together and pushed forward.

This scene was naturally very confusing to the eyes of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and other princes. However, the people at the front of the army were all under Lu Bu’s own command. None of them had any objections. It was even harder for those who followed behind to say anything. It’s just that How many of these people already have the intention of retreating on their own if the battle situation is unfavorable? It is not enough for outsiders.

”Gentlemen, prepare to kill the enemy with me!” Seeing the barbarian cavalry who finally appeared in front, Lu Bu’s eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light.

He, Lu Bu, was also from Bingzhou. These damn barbarians sent troops to invade his hometown while he was busy cultivating. If he didn’t kill them all, people would think that he, Lu Bu, was easy to bully.

”Kill Hu!” ”Kill Hu!” ”Kill Hu!”

Thirty thousand Han Dynasty cavalry behind him shouted in unison.

”kill!”

The red rabbit horse, which has successfully entered the path of cultivation and can be regarded as a monster, accelerated, instantly threw the army behind it far away, and rushed towards the barbarian army at the head of the horse.

”boom!!!”

A blow infused with the genetic energy of a planet-level warrior, carrying the anger in Lu Bu’s heart, struck hard at the head of the Huns’ front army.

”Puff!” ”Puff!” ”Puff!”...

The hundred-meter-long halberd light swept past, and rows of barbarian cavalry were cut into two pieces.

With just one blow, at least more than a thousand Hu Qi were killed on the spot.

And this scene was so frightening that the Hu cavalry behind them stopped and looked horrified.

The barbarians in front stopped moving forward, but the barbarians behind were still rushing forward desperately. In an instant, everyone fell on their backs.

And after Lu Bu slashed out that halberd, he naturally would not stop. The red rabbit horse jumped forward and had already crossed the bloody area.

”kill!”

As Lu Bu shouted angrily, Fang Tian swung his painted halberd again.

Now these barbarians have experienced how exaggerated it is for planet-level warriors to defeat ordinary people. Many people have lost their lives inexplicably without even seeing the opponent clearly.

The red rabbit horse did not increase its speed to the maximum, and although Lu Bu was a planet-level warrior, his attack range was not large enough to cover the battlefield of tens of thousands of troops. Soon, Zhang Liao and Gao rushed over with the trapped camp.

”Kill!” ”Kill!” ”Kill!”

Facing the Xiongnu, the old enemy of the Han Dynasty, there is nothing to say, just kill them.

Eight hundred warriors from the trapped camp, led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, lined up in a straight line and swept towards the Hu army in front.

Behind the trapped camp are the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under Lu Bu and some Xiliang iron cavalry gathered after defeating Li Jue, Guo Si and others. These people can also catch some remaining Hu cavalry leaked from the trapped camp, and the princes’ cavalry further behind, but There is really nothing to be gained.

Of course, they had no such intention at this time. Every prince and general was deeply shocked by the scene in front of them.

”This...is this really something that humans can do?” Cao Cao muttered to himself as he looked at the broken barbarian cavalry on the battlefield ahead.

”Unbelievable! It’s unbelievable!” Liu Bei was also shocked.

”At Hulao Pass, the gap was obviously not big. How did they become so powerful?” Zhang Fei was only interested in how to become so powerful.

”Too strong! That’s how a real man should be!” Sun Ce, the little bully, felt his blood boil.

”No wonder Marquis Wen doesn’t pay attention to the Hu people’s army of 500,000.” Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled.

”Almost most of the Hu cavalry were cut into two pieces directly.” Zhao Yun also looked at the piles of Hu corpses on the battlefield in shock.

Almost all the princes and generals were shocked by the scene that just happened in front of them. This was because they were relatively far back and could not see the scene where Lu Bu showed his power, otherwise they would have been even more shocked.
