Chapter 138: Ding Zhanbo

Maodun!

A name that makes all the Huns proud and passionate when they hear it!

When he existed, the Han Dynasty had no power to fight back, and even led troops to siege Liu Bang.

From then on, the Han Dynasty sent princesses to marry him and sent a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, as well as various cattle, sheep, tea, porcelain and other items.

It was also from that time that the Han people would tremble involuntarily whenever they heard the Huns!

However, after Emperor Wu of Han, the Han Dynasty launched a general attack and fought with the Huns in the north of Mobei! It also caused the Huns Shanyu to escape at night!

The Huns were defeated, and some fled to Central Asia, while some chose to surrender to the Han Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty!

Even so, the arrogance and bloodiness in the bones of these Huns did not fail to be erased. Instead, as the Han Dynasty's independence weakened, the Huns gradually recovered their vitality.

Start to become arrogant again! However, they have the ability and capital to be arrogant!

More than 100,000 troops attacked Yanmen and joined forces with the Xianbei and Liu Yu from Youzhou.

I want to attack the Central Plains again, seize the territory north of the Yellow River, and recreate the glory of the Maodun Shanyu period!

However, there is often an insurmountable gap between reality and ideal!

The difficulty in advance over the past half month has suppressed the originally intense morale of the Huns little by little.

These generals who commanded the troops encountered the most difficult tough battle since they joined the army!

The Huns mainly rely on cavalry to fight, but facing Yanmen, which is tall and deep in the city, the cavalry obviously lost its innate advantage.

They had to pay a huge price to buy expensive siege equipment from Liu Yu.

Why do you need to buy it from Liu Yu? Don’t they?

The Huns had siege equipment! Since the hundreds of years of war in the Han Dynasty, the Huns did have siege equipment in their hands.

However, after transporting these siege equipment back to the grassland, there were no cities on the grassland.

Gradually, the Hun generals also relaxed their training in siege of the Hun soldiers. It was not until Huchuquan was in power that they began to pay attention again.

However, there is too little experience to give them.

After Hu Chuquan had to use this short time to conduct hasty training, he led his army to take advantage of the Xiliang army to capture Bingzhou when it was still unstable. He fought for a battle.

However, Hu Chuquan now realized that the current Xiliang army is even stronger than the Xiliang army seven years ago.

Now, under Xiao Yu's attention, the Xiliang Army is gradually becoming more mature in training, combat, logistics and post-war affairs.

Therefore, the situation of the battle with the unstable Xiliang's fighting against the skilled military strategy was obvious.

"Xhanyu! When the damn rain stopped, Ahu'er was willing to be the first to lead our Hun warriors to the city tower and kill the Han generals! Encourage the morale of our Hun warriors!"

"Shanyu, our Iron League is willing to be the first to lead troops to attack the city tower..."

"Shanyu, I..."

Hu Chuquan did not disappoint, and the soldiers under the tent seemed to have a refreshed mental outlook after hearing the name of the great Shanyu Maodun of the Huns!

Scramble to ask Hu Chuquan for battle!

"Well!" Hu Chuquan looked at the scene of regaining his courage and excited crowds, and laughed: "This is the warrior of my Huns, the eagle on our grassland!"

"Fight for the name of the Huns warriors!"

"Fight for the name of the Huns warriors!"

"Fight for the name of the Huns warriors!"

After hearing Hu Chuquan's words, Ahu'er remembered the sensational things done by the great Xiongnu Shanyu in history, as well as the endless pride that brought to the people of the Xiongnu. He raised his right arm excitedly and shouted loudly.

With Ahu'er's shouting, Tielenshi and other Huns' generals raised their proud heads again and shouted angrily.

At this moment, all the Hun generals in the tent shouted loudly with passion.

They found confidence and found the domineering and arrogance that belonged to the Huns when facing the Han people!

However, they forgot a fact.

This is no longer their era, or it is no longer an era when the Huns can gallop around the world at will.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, after the turmoil in the world, the country was already tortured and in a difficult situation. It is said that even if Liu Bang wanted to go out, he could not even find horses with the same color.

However, under Maodun's leadership, the Xiongnu blocked the countries in the Western Regions of Yuezhi and suppressed the tribes such as Donghu in the east. Did they really not know that they were going to the north.

You know, the north is colder than on the grassland, and the Huns don’t like that place.

However, people in the north never dared to step into the powerful Hun grasslands. Otherwise, they would bring about the danger of extermination.

To the south, there are great Han people, with superb skills and advanced civilization, fertile land and rich products. These are undoubtedly powerful attraction for the Huns who were short of materials and had a strong sense of wisdom.

Maodun Shanyu did not disappoint the expectations of the people of the Huns. He led the army of 400,000 Huns to besiege Liu Bang alive.

If it weren't for Zhang Liang, I'm afraid the Huns would have really attacked the Han Dynasty.

But now it's different.

Since Emperor Wu of Han fought against the Huns in the north of Mo, the Huns can be said to have no temper at all.

But as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Huns are still a little more powerful.

However, no matter how strong their strength is, it is not worth mentioning in front of Xiao Yu!

Xiao Yu faced the Huns and faced this nation that had committed many bloody crimes against the Han people, and had the idea of ​​completely defeating and eradicating the roots.

Therefore, no matter what, Xiao Yu has absolute confidence to defeat the Huns.

Moreover, the Xiongnu people who had already blocked Yanmen alone had no choice. So, what if Xiao Yu led his troops to arrive in person?

The weather was already very cold, and during this period of time, almost all the soldiers and horses from all over the country entered a truce period.

But this year is different.

Xiao Yu's gradually expanded strength and power, as well as the pacification of Bingzhou almost just after a battle. This news made princes everywhere start to worry.

Especially Youzhou, located next to Bingzhou.

As the governor of Youzhou and Emperor Gaozu, the royal blood flowed in Liu Yu's body.

Xiao Yu's actions and the uninterrupted disputes between the princes in various places greatly angered one of the last loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.

He couldn't watch Xiao Yu grow his strength.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. Regardless of whether this king handles or not all major affairs of the country, at least, the existence of an emperor makes the people who are used to being ruled have some support and a bottom in their hearts!

But what about now? You must know that since Emperor Xian’s death, there has been no emperor in the Han Dynasty to this day.

Emperor Xian’s wife, the queen of the dynasty, shouldn’t be said to be the queen at the time.

The empress dowager of the current dynasty was "robbed" by Xiao Yu to Xiliang.

This is undoubtedly a great irony to the Han court.

Although Xiao Yu unanimously insisted that he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, he took the Empress Dowager to Xiliang for the sake of the dignity of the Han Dynasty and for the safety of the Empress Dowager.

But the meaning of it is probably something that any prince with a little brain can imagine.

"What can I do now? I have to let the man flow in the last piece of blood and sweat!" Liu Yu sighed and tightened the reins in his hand.

"Sir, Lord Qi! Our army will be half a day away to reach Yanmen!"

At this time, a soldier who looked like a spy ran to Liu Yu's horse and bowed and said tremblingly.

"Oh?" Liu Yu was a little surprised after hearing this.

But Liu Yu seemed to have forgotten that in order to be able to fight against Xiao Yu, despite the opposition of his soldiers, he braved the heavy rain and ordered a marching order.

Looking at the soldier with a tired face in front of him, Liu Yu suddenly felt that his heart seemed to be invading with fatigue that had never been experienced before. He looked at the sky again and saw that the sky gradually became darker. He waved his hand and said, "I know, I'll send the order. It's too late, and I won't march tonight. The garrison will rest for one night!"

After hearing this, the soldier couldn't help but look at Liu Yu in confusion. Seeing Liu Yu's serious look on his face.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a curve and said happily: "No!"

After saying that, he ran quickly to convey the order given by Liu Yugang.

The soldiers marched urgently for three days, and were already exhausted. At this moment, they received the order from Liu Yu, and were like a prisoner who had been detained for a long time. Suddenly, they heard the prison guards say they wanted to release themselves. The excitement in their hearts can be imagined.

The campers are camping, the cooking is built on the pot and cooks. The horses are rectified.

Everything seemed normal, but Liu Yu stood at the gate of the battalion commander who had set up for him first, looking at the busy soldiers, and frowned for some reason.

"What's going on? Why do I feel so up and down all day long? Could something happen?"

Liu Yu muttered. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Oh, it seems that I am really old, I am always so suspicious and worried... Forget it, the generals come to block the water and soil. After marching for three days, the soldiers are tired. Let's take a break first." Liu Yu, who thought for a long time but had no results, smiled mockingly.

He turned around and walked into the tent, and said that the horse whip in his hand was thrown on the table and sat down beside the table and read the letter of uprising.

Night comes soon.

This was especially true at night outside Yanmen County. Due to the three marching urgently, the Youzhou army fell asleep early. Even the patrol soldiers were weak and dozed off.

The rain is still falling.
