Chapter 717 The Duel Between King Xia and Maodun Chanyu (2 in 1, Thanks to the Silver League of the Sun and Moon in the Pot)

"It consumes their patience and physical strength. The entire Langjuxu Mountain has been dispatched by my scout cavalry."

Mao Dun led the Xiongnu cavalry to deal with Chutian in the area of ​​Langjuxu Mountain, making it difficult for Chutian to find its location.

According to Mao Dun's vision, as long as Chutian is unbearable, sooner or later he will choose to negotiate and compromise, and finally return the prairie to the Huns.

"He doesn't have that much energy to suppress us. If civil war breaks out in the Han Empire, he will have to deal with other princes. So handing over the prairie to me to rule is the only way out."

Mao Dun led Shan Yu's guards to a hillside, looking at the snow-covered mountains, he decided to bring Chu Tian's army here for consumption.

To achieve the goal, war is not necessarily the only means, threats and negotiations are also an effective means.

"It's the twelfth lunar month in winter, why bother..."

Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan followed behind, discussing in private.

Maodu's resistance undoubtedly threatened Chutian's forces, and it would make Chutian constantly send troops to suppress the rebellion, exhausting his life.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, it once controlled the Korean Peninsula, but the continuous local rebellion finally allowed the Tang Dynasty to shrink its sphere of influence. The occupation of Annan by the Ming Dynasty was also due to the continuous local rebellion, which overwhelmed the financial expenditure of the imperial court and chose to withdraw its troops.

In my impression, farming civilization seems to lack the desire to expand.

In fact, the Central Plains Dynasty tried to occupy the surrounding land, but because of the low level of terrain, culture, and productivity, it could not achieve effective control and finally gave up.

"Spread out the scouts, and if there is any trouble, come back and report to me immediately!"

Modu sent hundreds of scout cavalry to scout in all directions.

Sitting in front of the bonfire, the Xiongnu and Xianbei competed with the King Xia of the Han Empire, which made the group of Huns and Xianbei extremely nervous.

On the outskirts of the Xiongnu tribe, dozens of wild wolves were patrolling, their green eyes peeping at the Huns.

"It's the cry of a wolf."

"It's not surprising that there are wild wolves out."

Some Huns have already discovered the existence of wild wolves, but they don't seem to care much about the howling of wild wolves, because it is not surprising that there are wolves in such a wild tea garden.

Far away from the Huns cavalry, a wolf king appeared from the darkness, rubbing Xiao Chuo's boots meekly.

"Traces of the main force of the Huns have been found."

"Modun fled around, avoiding and not fighting. This was consuming my patience and energy. He wanted me to retreat in spite of difficulties, but Maodun underestimated my determination."

Chutian indirectly obtained the location of the Huns cavalry through the wild wolf controlled by Xiao Chuo.

Maodu's guerrilla tactics, with the cooperation of war eagles and wild wolves, have nowhere to hide. Maybe Maodu didn't know at this time that he had been targeted by a dangerous person.

Chu Tian made Temujin, Attila's brother Bleda and others have psychological shadows, and he will become the next big man with psychological shadows.

"When the Mongol Empire was overthrown, the Liaodong Army was attacked by the Allied Forces of the Five Emperors to the west of Yuerhai. It should be that your Khitan tribe used wild wolves to conduct investigations and attacked the Liaodong Army?"

Seeing that Xiao Chuo could subdue the nearby wild wolves for his own use, Chu Tian couldn't help but think of what happened before.

Xiao Chuo didn't deny that the wild wolf was indeed a method that no one else knew except the heroes of the Khitan tribe.

If the Khitan civilization perishes, then this special investigative method may be completely lost.

Not all civil servants and military generals of the Khitan civilization have such means. Only heroes at the leader level of the Khitan civilization have this special ability.

After the death of Yelu Abaoji, only Xiao Chuo is left with the ability to command wild wolves.

"You have contributed a lot to finding the whereabouts of Maodun this time. If there is any reward you want, as long as it is not too much,

You can mention them all. "

Chutian finally seized the main force of the Huns.

Xiao Chuo was very indifferent, and grabbed the ends of his hair with his hands: "I hope King Xia rescued my father, Xiao Chuo is very grateful."

"Can."

Chutian did not expect Xiao Chuo's request to be so simple.

Perhaps retreating into advance is in line with Xiao Chuo's character.

"All the soldiers set out to launch an attack tonight, and wait until dawn to surround the Huns and Xianbei. If you kill Modu, everyone will get an extra month of military pay and five days off!"

In order to motivate the army, Chutian promised rewards.

A month's military salary may be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

All the Mongolian cavalry and Han cavalry got on their horses, and Tai Shici had his own special unit, the Qi Xue Army, who really had the capital to hold a three-foot sword and make indomitable achievements.

The movements of the Kexue Army were orderly, and no one was born. Some of them were holding torches. Against the backdrop of the fire, the faces of the Kexue Army cavalry were stern. As Genghis Khan's guards, the Kexue Army was already the highest-ranking unit of Mongolian civilization.

"Looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Qin Liangyu served as a guest general in the Chutian faction, and was familiar with the cavalry raid tactics commonly used by the Chutian faction.

If Huo An and Mu Ke were merged into Chutian's forces in the future, then Qin Liangyu would also be one of Chutian's generals in the future, and it was reasonable to get used to this fighting style in advance.

"The heroes who have been defeated by us will increase by one more."

Mi Fang's Fifth Northern Army School is gearing up.

In the battle of Eastern Europe, Chu Tian did not take the Fifth Northern Army School with him. This time when he attacked Maodun Shanyu, Chu Tian finally remembered the Fifth Northern Army School.

The Fifth Northern Army School was very practical in the early days. Chutian has the current foundation, which is not unrelated to the Fifth Northern Army School.

But now, the strength of the five schools of the Northern Army can't keep up, and the eighth and ninth ranks have become the core force.

At present, the fifth school of the Northern Army is mainly responsible for the mission of Chutian's Suwei. Mi Fang and others can only do this kind of mission, which is already the upper limit of their ability.

As one of Chutian's private guard troops, the Fifth Northern Army School still had a very high status.

"You don't need to deliberately capture Maodun alive, just kill him if you kill him."

Chu Tian knew that a hero of Maodun's level would not surrender easily, and he had high ambitions.

It takes Chutian a lot of time to cultivate feelings for a Xiao Chuo. It is not easy to win over the supreme leader of the Xiongnu civilization like Maodun and make him work.

Chutian really does not lack cavalry heroes like Maodun, Wei Qing is not weaker than Maodun, and the future Huo Qubing is also from Chutian.

The loyalty of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing is far from being comparable to that of Mao Dun, basically there is no possibility of betrayal, unless Chu Tian's own actions make people angry.

More than 100,000 cavalry lost to the Xiongnu and Xianbei cavalry, and fire dragons formed fire dragons in the dark night of the prairie.

Military adviser Sun Bin participated in this large-scale hunting: "Modun will definitely spread his scouts. Within a hundred miles, his scouts will be aware of our army's attack, and within 30 miles, Maodun will be aware of it, which is enough time for him to make decisions. Response. The lord should approach from all sides to form a siege, even if he reacts suddenly, he will be captured by the lord."

"Everything is according to what the military division said."

Chu Tian divided all the cavalry into four groups. He, Wei Qing, Chen Qingzhi, and Xue Rengui each led a team of cavalry, divided into four directions, and encircled Maodun.

The scout cavalry deployed by the Xiongnu tribe on the outskirts can be divided into clear sentries and dark sentries. When Chutian's cavalry entered the range of the Xiongnu scouts, some of the Xiongnu scouts noticed that the enemy was approaching!

"King Xia's cavalry!"

The scouts of the Xiongnu were keenly aware that the cavalry who shuttled quickly in the dark night were the cavalry of the Han Empire!

Not only that, the Han Empire also absorbed a group of Mongolian cavalry to participate in this battle!

In the darkness, with the help of moonlight and torches, a small-scale battle broke out between the two sides.

...

The tribe of the Huns, Xiao Siwen and Yeluxiu, two civil servants and military generals of the Khitan civilization, became captives of Modun, and they were forced to migrate with Modun.

If their lives were not in the hands of Mao Dun, the two of them would not be willing to stay with the Huns.

Khitan is different from the Huns, they also have their own arrogance.

"I don't know if the little girl is okay..."

Xiao Siwen suddenly had a premonition and found it difficult to fall asleep.

Suddenly, the temporary camp of the Xiongnu tribe heard the sound of horseshoes, followed by loud noises.

The centurion and thousand commanders of the Xiongnu immediately led their own soldiers to control the enemy camps to prevent the camp roar from erupting in the army.

In "Lord", the camp is noisy at night, and there is a certain probability that the camp roar will erupt. The so-called camp roar means that the highly nervous soldiers in the camp killed each other because of the panic caused by the noise.

Brother Yeluxiu opened his eyes almost at the sound of the horse's hooves, and subconsciously reached out to touch the saber.

But his saber was confiscated by the Huns, so Brother Yeluxiu caught it.

"Lord Xiao, the cavalry of the Han Empire may arrive soon. Maybe this is our chance to escape."

As one of the two great commanders of Khitan, Brother Yeluxiu had an exceptionally keen sense of war. When he heard the sound of horseshoes, he knew very quickly what it meant.

Xiao Siwen was not a general, so he was worried: "Both of us are not strong in military strength. If we fight in a scuffle later, our lives may be in danger."

Brother Yeluxiu said: "Master Xiao, please don't worry, I will protect you to leave this place."

When Xiao Siwen and Yeluxiu conspired, Mo Dun Shanyu had already received an urgent report from the scout cavalry—the cavalry of the Han Empire were approaching his station!

"How did they find us? In the past few months, I have deployed a large number of scouts in advance to strangle the scouts sent by King Xia. It is impossible for me not to notice their every move!"

Mo Dun was confident in his deployment, in order to avoid the war eagle, he even used the lure to attract the war eagle's attention.

However, even so, his position was still exposed to Chu Tian's sight.

Mao Dun didn't know where he had a problem. He had deployed scouts a few months in advance, and controlled all the passes of Langjuxu Mountain. The scouts were all over Langjuxu Mountain.

Even the war eagle of Iron Eagle Scout, Mao Dun, was on guard.

"Could it be a traitor?"

Mao Dun looked at Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, the panicked leaders of the Southern Huns. His two descendants looked in panic all day long, and Mao Dun shook his head.

Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan's courage is like this, and they should not dare to betray him.

"All clansmen, get on your horse and meet the enemy!"

Mao Dun was discovered by Chu Tian and knew that he was in an extremely dangerous situation. At this time, only a deadly battle can solve the crisis!

More than 100,000 Xiongnu and Xianbei cavalry stood up and mounted their horses urgently.

Yu Fuluo was a little flustered, and almost dropped the ring knife equipped at his waist.

"Brother, it's over. King Xia of the Han Empire is here. If King Xia catches us, we might be executed."

Hu Chuquan was as nervous as Yu Fuluo.

They didn't have the ambitions of Mao Dun Shanyu who opposed Liu Bang. When they realized that Chu Tian was coming, they were in panic all day long.

"Where did King Xia's cavalry come from?!"

After all, Mao Dun is a generation of heroes. He is not as nervous as the wimpy Southern Huns, but calms down gradually.

Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, could be surrounded by Baideng Mountain for seven days and seven nights. The Han Empire could not do anything about him throughout his life. Mao Dun is the most legendary figure in the Xiongnu civilization.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu said: "There are scouts reporting from all directions, and they were attacked by King Xia's cavalry scouts!"

"Damn it, King Xia wants to be besieged on all sides!"

Mao Dun suddenly realized that before Chutian launched the attack, he had planned to wipe out the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes and completely solve the threat on the prairie.

"King Xia's ambition is great, but it's also a flaw. Their forces are scattered. We just need to break out to the south and meet King Zuoxian in Monan!"

Mao Dun wanted to join forces with his son, Zuo Xianwang Ji Porridge (the third Xiongnu Shanyu) as a way out.

The Xiongnu cavalry and Xianbei cavalry, under the leadership of Mao Dun, concentrated their forces to break through to the south.

Xiao Siwen and Yeluxiu were escorted by a group of Hun cavalry, unable to resist, they followed the Hun cavalry.

The night of Langjuxu Mountain is full of murderous intentions, and the howling of wolves is heard from time to time, which makes the grass and trees feel like soldiers.

For him, it should be a kind grassland, but at this time, it is full of dangers.

"Shanyu guards, follow me!"

Mao Dun was accompanied by the most elite cavalry of the Xiongnu civilization-the Shanyu Guard.

Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan were worried, and were forced to lead the elite cavalry of the Southern Huns to follow the great Modun Shanyu.

"Report, King Xia's cavalry is approaching!"

"change direction!"

"King Xia's cavalry is still approaching!"

The Xiongnu cavalry and Xianbei cavalry tried to escape. Relying on his familiarity with the surrounding terrain, Moutun changed his marching direction three times in a row, but Chutian's cavalry was still shrinking the encirclement, and Mouton's cavalry could not escape.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Mouton couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

It was night now, and it was impossible for Chutian's cavalry to know his whereabouts so accurately. His cavalry was changing directions at any time. Even if Chutian got a report from the scouts, he would still have a period of time to react.

However, Chutian's cavalry were like wild wolves catching prey on the grassland. With their amazing sense of smell, they bit Maodun Shanyu's cavalry tightly.

Chutian was marching at night, and when Maodun was alarmed, the sky had gradually turned white, which meant that it would be more difficult for Maodun to escape after the night was over and the sky was bright!

The Xiongnu cavalry adopted the guerrilla tactics of "the enemy rests and we attack, and the enemy enters and we flee" against the Han Dynasty. However, in the face of the trinity of reconnaissance forces with war eagles, wild wolves, and scout cavalry, the guerrilla tactics were limited, and Mao Dun fell into a predicament.

As the sky was getting brighter, Chutian's cavalry were still chasing and intercepting Maodun.

On a hillside, Chu Tian led the cavalry, looking at the wilderness in the distance, Mobei Grassland, there is still part of the snow that has not melted, and the foothills of Langjuxu Mountain are covered with snow.

At the end of the wilderness, Modun's cavalry appeared, covering the mountains and plains like locusts.

The number of Xiongnu cavalry and Xianbei cavalry is about 200,000, which is an astonishing number.

However, Chu Tian had seen even larger cavalry.

Temujin's Mongolian Empire was at its peak, and its military strength was far more terrifying than 200,000 cavalry, but it was still defeated by his cavalry.

"Mauton should be among the cavalry."

Chu Tian tried to stroke the wolf king's fur, but the wolf king didn't appreciate it and hid behind Xiao Chuo.

No matter Hua Mulan's war eagle or Xiao Chuo's wild wolf, they all ignored Chu Tian.

Chu Tian was used to these spiritual animals not having a good impression of him, and he didn't care.

This time, he will completely resolve the grievances between the Han Empire and the Huns in Langjuxu Mountain.

When Chutian discovered the Hun cavalry of Maodun Shanyu, Maodun also discovered the Han cavalry on the hillside.

The cavalry around Chutian is estimated to be only 20,000 to 30,000. After all, Chutian needs to divide his troops to surround Maodun's cavalry, so the cavalry in front of him...

"My lord Shan Yu, the opponent is acting under the banner of King Xia!"

"He divides his troops to block me, does it mean that he thinks that with this little cavalry, he can also prevent me from escaping to the south?!"

Mao Dun found out that the cavalry standing in the south turned out to be the cavalry led by Chu Tian himself, and the force was only one-tenth of his own, so he couldn't help being annoyed.

Chu Tian was deliberately provoking him.

"We have 200,000 cavalry, while King Xia only has 20,000 to 30,000. Why don't we go all out and kill King Xia? Then the prairie will belong to you, Lord Chanyu, and we don't need to flee south!"

A leader of the Xiongnu urged Modu to attack Chutian on the hillside.

Chutian's deliberate provocation made the leaders of the Xiongnu extremely annoyed.

"Kill King Xia!" Mao Dun also wanted to try to see if there was a chance to kill Chutian, "Send more scouts, and pay attention to whether there are ambushes hiding nearby!"

If Chutian could be killed, the crisis faced by the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes would be resolved immediately, and Chutian would become a serious problem for Maodun, Tuoba Tao, and Shi Le.

Regardless of the fact that the Huns, Xianbei, and Jie people are making a lot of noise, in fact, they are facing the plight of being suppressed without capturing a few cities of the Chutian forces.

Only by getting rid of Chutian, the crisis faced by these nomadic tribes will end.

Two hundred thousand Hun cavalry and Xianbei cavalry rushed to the hillside where Chutian was located, surrounded by layers, recreating the siege of Baideng in the past!

Looking down from the hillside, the bottom of the mountain was covered in darkness, shoulder to shoulder, and black waves covered the entire hillside, about to swallow Chu Tian and others on the hillside.

"In the past, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was besieged in Baideng Mountain, and today I am besieged in Langjuxu Mountain. Is the scene similar?"

Facing the allied forces of the Xiongnu and Xianbei under pressure, Chu Tian was not in a mood of anxiety, and he was destined to be different from Liu Bang.

When Liu Bang was besieged, he must have been terrified. After the cruel peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty in the early Han Dynasty, the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, the national power was withered, and the number of war horses was extremely scarce. Even if the military god Han Xin was to deal with the Xiongnu, I am afraid that he would not be able to achieve the results of the Wei Qing and Huo Qubing era. , the reason is very simple, the national strength is different.

And Chutian was not as uneasy as Liu Bang was at that time. He was also besieged by Maodun, but Chutian took the initiative to send him to his door.

The cavalry on the hillside are Chutian's most elite cavalry, including the Qixue Army, Xuanjia Army, Huben Army, Knight Army, and Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The reason why they took the initiative to send them to the door was because there were too many light cavalry in Mouton, and they were not necessarily willing to confront Chutian's heavy cavalry. At this time, there were cavalry below. Can.

The high-ranking heavy cavalry of the Heavy Cavalry Guards Corps have changed their armor and are ready to go.

The war eagle soared in the air and landed on Hua Mulan's arm: "The three generals Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Wei Qing have led the cavalry to approach this place quickly, and they will arrive in less time."

"Prepare to attack the Xiongnu and Xianbei armies!"

Chu Tian personally supervised the battle, and each cavalry was ready to go.

Joan of Arc waved the Holy Banner, providing morale bonuses to this cavalry regiment.

The cavalry corps, which had been forced to march overnight, was stimulated and their morale soared.

This time, with 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry, they attacked 200,000 cavalry, but they were not afraid!

"Yelu Xiezhen, Xiao Talin, you lead the Shan army and charge together."

Xiao Chuo asked two Khitan generals to participate in the battle.

Xiao Talin had already submitted his certificate to Chutian during the war in Eastern Europe, and Yelu Xiezhen was playing for Chutian for the first time, so he had to work hard to get Chutian's approval.

Yelu Xiezhen has the character of a dandy, he does things unruly, his likes and dislikes are shown on his face, even though he is reluctant, he still cooperates with Xiao Talin according to Xiao Chuo's instructions.

Xiao Talin can be regarded as Yelu Xiezhen's lieutenant general and also a vanguard.

The 200,000 Xiongnu and Xianbei cavalry began to attack the hillside, carrying out their first and last action to kill Chutian.

The rain of arrows covered the sky and poured down!

The Huns and Xianbei cavalry have launched an attack!

"Kill King Xia, I can replace him!"

Mao Dun is like a crazy gambler, he is aware of the danger, but Chu Tian uses himself as a bait, and Mao Dun can hardly refuse this once and for all opportunity.

"Shanyu guards, step forward and attack!"

Modu sent his guards, the most elite cavalry of the Huns, into the battle.

Shanyu's guards are composed of the best archers, who are good at riding and shooting.

"Han cavalry and Mongolian cavalry are approaching!"

Mao Dun's scout cavalry found the cavalry led by three generals Wei Qing, Chen Qingzhi, and Xue Rengui.

"Divide troops to block them, buy time to kill King Xia!"

Putting all his eggs in one basket, Mao Dun dispatched a small force to resist Chutian's reinforcements.

Even Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan of the Southern Huns were sent out by Modun to stop the Mongolian cavalry.

"Modun has lost control, and this King Xia really dares to take risks."

Yeluxiu was in Maodun's army, and seeing Chu Tian take risks and leave Maodun in Langjuxu Mountain, he couldn't help admiring his courage.

"I have a hunch that Yanyan is on the hillside..."

Xiao Siwen had a feeling in his heart, and suspected that his daughter Xiao Chuo was brought to the hillside by Chu Tian to participate in the battle.

"Shan Yu's guards? Break them down."

Chu Tian didn't think he was taking risks. He was surrounded by iron armored cavalry. This group of iron beasts wished that the Xiongnu cavalry would take the initiative to attack.
