The World of Yellow Sky

The smell of burnt flesh filled the gray smoke, and the north wind was filled with heart-piercing cries.

The once prosperous Lishi City has become a purgatory on earth.

But the atrocities of the Huns still did not stop. They trampled on Lishi city which had been turned into ruins.

Then, set your sights on Taiyuan County farther east!

The original Shanyu and Qiangqu Shanyu of the Southern Huns have been completely emptied, and now Xiutu Gehu and Zuobu Huhe have controlled the right to speak of the Southern Huns.

Zuo Huhe entered from Xihe County, while Xiutu Gehu entered from Yanmen County.

Fortunately, although Zhang Baiqi was tempted by money and harassed Yanmen County according to Xu An's order, he still had the idea of ​​​​preserving his power. A small group of troops attacked and harassed.

This also prevented the soldiers in Yanmen County from being too scattered. When they were attacked by Xiutu Gehu of the Southern Huns, the Han army in Yanmen County resisted tenaciously and successfully defended the pass.

On the contrary, Xiutu Gehu, who was so morale like a rainbow, broke through several cities outside the pass, and finally passed the Yanmen Pass, leaving more than 1000 corpses in a mess and returning in defeat.

However, no one was able to solve Huhe, the left part of the Southern Huns who had entered the hinterland of Bingzhou from Xihe County.

……

When Zhang Yi received the scout report, the cavalry of the Southern Huns had already killed all the way to the outside of Pingzhou City in Xihe County.

It is only seventy miles away from the Han army camp.

Seventy miles can be reached in one day for the cavalry.

However, Zhang Yi had a mixed army of infantry and cavalry, [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

It never occurred to him that he would have to face the Huns' attack.

Moreover, the Southern Xiongnu obviously already knew the location of Zhang Yi's troops, and they were galloping towards the northern Han army camp in Yong'an.

The infantry can only march for more than forty miles a day in a hurry. How can two legs run faster than four legs.

If Zhang Yi wants to escape, there is only one way at present, and that is to abandon the infantry under his command...

To the north of Yong'an City, the Han army camp.

The atmosphere in the military tent was gloomy and terrifying. The Han army camp was still silent at this time. The ordinary soldiers did not know the news that the Huns were approaching.

Zhang Yi didn't know that the Qiang Canal had actually been taken over by Xiutu Gehu and Zuobu Huhe.

On the first seat, Zhang Yi was furious, and he had already broken off the bamboo piece with military information written on it, and threw it on the ground.

He gritted his teeth and cursed in a hateful voice: "What a Qiang Qu!"

"You can even sell your own son, just to seize Bingzhou. They really are a bunch of barbarians!"

He never expected that Qiang Qu Shanyu would be so obedient, and he would send his son Yu Fuluo to Hedong County to support the war, restrain the tribes under his command, and not come to harass the frontier, it was all deceitful.

The purpose was to make the Han army unprepared, so that they could pass through the pass and directly enter the hinterland of Bingzhou.

Zhang Yi lost his temper in the military tent, but the matter always had to be resolved.

There are only more than 1000 people left in Jinyang City. If all these soldiers under his command are left here by the Huns, then Bingzhou will be completely over.

Zhang Yi stood in the tent with a livid face. This was a difficult choice, and the survival of Bingzhou was in his hands, so he had to make the right choice.

……

To the north of Yong'an, the camp of the Han army was full of people screaming and horses boiling, and a large number of soldiers kept moving around in the camp.

The news of the future of the Huns has spread throughout the entire camp of the Han army, and the Huns will be able to enter their field of vision at dusk at the latest.

They are now making final preparations for the upcoming war.

Zhang Yi sat decadently in the tent, he chose to stay.

He knew that the Huns must have been prepared for this attack, and there was a high probability that two groups would invade at the same time, one at Yanmen and one at Xihe, and then attack Taiyuan at the same time.

Now that the situation is critical, Zhang Yi cannot confirm whether Yanmen County has been breached.

If Yanmen is broken, then more than 2000 cavalry, plus more than 1000 soldiers defending the city, will be difficult to stop the siege of tens of thousands of Huns.

It's better to have an upright confrontation with the trilogy of the Southern Xiongnu's invasion of Xihe County here.

There are nearly 6000 people under his command, and there are camps to protect them. Although the number of Huns is unknown, it is not likely to be too many.

Since the last battle of Jinyang, although a large amount of military equipment has been lost, Bingzhou has also received support from the central government and permission for conscription.

This also further strengthened the strength of the Han army in Bingzhou.

The city of Jinyang is solid, and the Huns are not good at attacking the city, so they will certainly not be able to attack it quickly.

As long as Zhang Yi defeated the Huns in Xihe County, even if Yanmen County was defeated, he would still be able to turn defeat into victory.

Chapter 225 Mighty!

On May 3st, Shen time two quarters (00:[-]).

A scout of the Han army with feathers on his back galloped all the way into the camp of the Han army, and the soldiers along the way made way for him one after another.

The Han army scout galloped all the way, flying past the gate, flying past layers of military tents, and flying past countless Han soldiers who were gathering.

Behind the layers of military tents and pieces of spears and spears, there is a huge Qingmu military tent, and this is where Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, is located.

This is the final destination of the scouts of the Han army.

The scouts of the Han army held up the seal in their hands, rolled their saddles and slid off their horses. They didn't have time to stay for a moment, and before the soldiers outside the tent opened the curtain, they stumbled into the big tent.

In the big tent, all the generals were seated, and everyone's eyes were attracted by this Han army scout.

"The Xiongnu cavalry is only ten miles away from our camp! The number should be more than [-]."

The scout of the Han Army was panting heavily, and now he had time to catch his breath, but he did not neglect for a moment, resisting the discomfort in his lungs, and loudly reported the military situation on the front line to Zhang Yi.

All the generals of the Han army in the military tent did not say a word, they all looked at Zhang Yi who was sitting at the head of the military tent.

Zhang Yi straightened his back and looked at the generals in the military tent with a stern expression.

The only thing that could be heard in the military tent was the heavy breathing of the Han army scout.

Zhang Yi stood up slowly, and he tightly grasped the Han sword worn by his waist, which was the saber given to him by his father when he was an adult.

"I would like to hold this sword to wipe out the treacherous evil for my big man, and protect my big man's people to prosper the country!"

Once he held this sword and made a solemn oath in front of his father. He always remembered it and never forgot it.

It's a pity that he took office as the governor of Bingzhou. Although he barely restrained the Huns in the North, he relaxed his vigilance towards Taihang Mountain.

So much so that the "moth thief" broke into Jinyang City. Although the emperor never pursued it too much, Zhang Yi felt ashamed after all, and he could not repay the favor he owed.

After that, Zhang Yi also understood what it was like to be powerless.

The Liangzhou rebellion and the Yellow Turban rebellion almost brought down the finances of the Han Empire. It wasn't until Jinyang City was broken and Zhang Yi was about to expand his army that he realized that the once powerful Han Dynasty had already become riddled with holes.

Zhang Yi did not wait for the central government's appropriation, but for the support of the imperial court, although he reluctantly recruited some soldiers.

But Xu An seemed to have been helped by a god, and within a short period of time, he became several times stronger. Before he could react, he invaded Shangdang County in one fell swoop, beheaded Zhu Jun, and repelled Lu Zhi.

Sweeping out the evil, Zhang Yi did not do it, Xingye Anbang, the southern Xiongnu army went south, Zhang Yi did not expect.

The Huns swept across the place, how to develop Anbang...

Although he obeyed the imperial court's military order, he was the governor of Bingzhou, so he chose to accept this matter and did not argue.

Zhang Yi had dealt with Qiang Qu Shanyu for many years. He thought he had recognized Qiang Qu Shanyu's character, and thought that the Southern Huns would respectfully obey their orders and would never take advantage of the fire to loot.

But he was wrong. Now, countless Xiongnu are taking advantage of the Han Empire's war in Hedong County, driving from the weak frontier of the Han Empire to invade the hinterland of Bingzhou.

"You gentlemen."

Zhang Yi looked around at the generals and school in the tent, and his goal was the weather-beaten faces.

They are not the pampered and pampered children of aristocratic families in the mainland, nor are they the bullying and powerful nephews in the peaceful paradise.

Their backgrounds are different, some are from aristocratic families, some are from powerful families, some are from poor families, and they even climbed from the bottom all the way up.

But they have one thing in common, they have all experienced the baptism of blood and swords.

Looking at the resolute faces in front of him, Zhang Yi once again clenched the Han sword at his waist.

"The seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Northwest Qiang Rebellion..."

Zhang Yi walked down the first seat slowly, looked around at the Han army generals in the military tent, and spoke solemnly.

"Just last month, we lost Liangzhou, and now Liangzhou is in the hands of thieves..."

Zhang Yi slowly closed his eyes, his voice trembling: "We have already lost Liangzhou..."

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, all the generals of the Han army in the military tent clenched their fists and looked at Zhang Yi steadfastly.

"The survival of Bingzhou depends on the battle today."

"This battle." Zhang Yi opened his eyes, glared at a general in the tent, and shouted angrily: "It's a battle of clothes! It's a battle of survival!"

"If you win, you will save the land where the Han Dynasty merged with the state, and you will wear Chinese clothes. If you lose, you will lose your hair and become a barbarian."

"The imperial court is far away in Sili, and the bandits cut off Hedong and Shangdang. If they are defeated, the great Han will no longer have a Bingzhou. At this time of internal and external troubles, if you want to recover again, I'm afraid it will be an unknown number of years."

Zhang Yi slowly pulled out the Han sword from his waist and placed it across his chest.

"For hundreds of years, we have expelled the Huns and countless alien races! We defeated the most powerful tribes on the grassland, we defeated countless barbarians, and laid down this huge territory for our descendants!"

"For hundreds of years, there have been countless powerful enemies stalking us, but without exception, they all fell under our sword."

Zhang Yi put down his sword, looked around at the generals of the Han army in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Our ancestors used the swords in their hands to win the victory for us, and took down this vast territory for us."

"Today, victory will still belong to us!"

"You gentlemen!"

Zhang Yi's shouts echoed in the military tent.

"Follow me to repel the enemy!"

"promise!!!"

In the military tent, all the generals and schools of the Han army suddenly agreed.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The drums of the Han camp had sounded, and the Huns had arrived.

The curtain was lifted, and the generals of the Han army with helmets and armor came out of the green curtain army tent.

"woo"

The entire camp of the Han army was completely boiling, and the continuous ups and downs of the horns gathered together, and the passionate drums gathered into a battle song.

Numerous soldiers of the Han army in red and black armor gathered under the red banner and followed their respective generals and schools to the front line, just like their ancestors.

The Han army is gathering.

"Line up!!"

A team leader of the Han army shouted loudly, and behind him, the fully armed soldiers of the Han army were ready to go.

The fiery red flag moved slowly.

Zhang Yi stood on the frame, and the horse ran, pulling the frame and galloping between the military tents.

He wanted to tell these soldiers under his command that he was by their side and never left.

All the soldiers of the Han army in the camp held their weapons high, cheering loudly towards their general, their governor, and their leader.

They knew what they were going to face next, and they also knew what defeat meant.

What they have to face is more than [-] Xiongnu cavalry who are as imposing as wolves and tigers.

And if they are defeated, the entire Bingzhou will be lost, their families, their relatives, their clothes, and the land bought by their ancestors with blood will completely disappear.

No son of the Han family could accept such a failure.

The Qiang chaos in Liangzhou was dominated by Han people, and the Han army in Liangzhou could choose to surrender.

If they choose to surrender, their clothes are still there, their relatives are still there, and everything they cherish is preserved.

But this time it was the Huns who attacked...

Even if these Huns have surrendered for a long time, even if these Huns are very different from their Hun ancestors.

But the soldiers of the Han army knew very well that these Huns would destroy their most cherished things.
