The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

......

at the same time.

On the grassland thousands of miles away.

Hulun Zhuo, the new leader of the Huyan tribe, led 40,000 cavalrymen into the Donghu territory.

Hulun Zhuo's goal for this expedition was very clear, which was to annex the Donghu.

The Donghu have been severely defeated by the Daqian people, and only one tenth of their strength remains. This is the best opportunity to attack.

As long as the Donghu is annexed, the Huyan tribe will become even stronger.

"Report... Leader, no trace of the Donghu tribe has been found within a hundred miles ahead."

Suddenly, a scout came running to report.

"Huh? No?"

"Did they all run away? Where could they go?"

Hulun Zhuo was stunned and muttered to himself.

To the west of the Donghu was a barren desert, to the south was Hulun, and to the north was the Qiulin tribe. If he led his troops to attack from the east, the Donghu people would have nowhere to run.

"Humph, can it even run to the sky?"

"Order the entire army to continue advancing."

After a brief thought, Hulun Zhuo snorted coldly and said.

"As ordered."

The scout responded respectfully.

Then the army continued to advance.

"Report..."

"Captain, we've spotted Daqian cavalry thirty miles ahead, at least two thousand of them."

Not long after, another scout came to report.

"What? Daqian Cavalry?"

"Why did the Daqian cavalry appear in the Donghu territory?"

"Are all the Donghu tribe members dead? They allowed the Daqian cavalry to run wild in their territory!"

Upon hearing the news, Hulun Zhuo was shocked at first, and then he cursed angrily.

Hulun Zhuo certainly knew that the Donghu tribe was defeated by Daqian, which is why he dared to send troops.

But he knew nothing about the Donghu's submission to Hulan.

"Chief, I think the Donghu are frightened by the Daqian and dare not confront them. Otherwise, why would they allow the Daqian cavalry to run wild?"

One of his lieutenants sneered.

"Hmph, no matter what the reason is, since we meet them, we will kill them."

"Zhuoermu, take 5,000 people and destroy them."

Hulun Zhuo snorted coldly.

"Yes, I obey."

A middle-aged man took the order respectfully.

This person was Zhuoermu, a warrior of the Huyan tribe and also Hulun Zhuo's right-hand man.

He is a skilled martial artist and is good at using a mace.

Before he finished speaking, Zhuoermu led 5,000 cavalrymen towards the Daqian cavalry.

The two thousand Daqian cavalrymen discovered by Hulun Zhuo were naturally the team led by Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing led his army to Donghu seven days ago and made immediate deployments.

On the one hand, he ordered the Donghu tribes to move urgently towards Hulan to avoid being defeated one by one by the Huyan tribe and causing unnecessary losses.

On the other hand, we are also actively preparing for the battle.

Huo Qubing's tactics were very simple, which was to fight a guerrilla war with the Huyan tribe on this vast grassland.

"General, the enemy has dispatched five thousand men and is charging towards us."

At this moment, the scout came on horseback to report.

"Hahaha, it's here as expected."

"Soldiers, be smart for a moment. When I give the order to retreat, run fast."

Huo Qubing laughed out loud when he heard this.

Huo Qubing had a total of 12,000 people on his hands, including the surrendered soldiers from Beiting and the Donghu cavalry.

There is no chance of winning a head-on confrontation with Hu Yanzhuo, the best strategy is to defeat him one by one.

Of course, he appeared here intentionally to attract Hulun Zhuo to send people to die.

"Yes, General!"

"Don't worry, General. We will run very fast and won't let them catch up."

"Hahaha, they are rushing to die."

When the soldiers heard what Huo Qubing said, they burst into laughter.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

Soon, the earth trembled and the enemy appeared.

"Line up to meet the enemy."

Huo Qubing raised his sword and shouted.

In an instant, the entire cavalry formation changed, quickly forming a spearhead formation and preparing for a charge.

"Humph, you're just courting death."

Seeing that the Daqian cavalry was actually ready to meet the enemy, Zhuoermu couldn't help but sneer.

He is the bravest warrior of the Hulun tribe. This time he joins the army to fight, it is the right time for him to make achievements.

"Kill him~~~"

Zhuo Ermu raised the mace, swung it violently, and roared loudly.

In an instant, five thousand cavalrymen pounced on Huo Qubing's cavalry like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

"Retreat~~~"

Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, Huo Qubing curled his lips slightly and immediately gave the order to retreat.

swoosh swish~

Upon hearing the order, the Daqian cavalry turned their horses around and fled madly.

And they ran very fast, fearing that they would be killed if they were a second slower.

Seeing this scene, Zhuo Ermu was stunned.

They had already formed a charge formation, so why did they suddenly run away?

"The people of Daqian are too shameless."

"What a bunch of cowards! They don't even dare to fight us."

"What a shame, ugh~"

Everyone around him looked at him with disdain.

"Chase them and kill them all!"

Coming back to his senses, Zhuo Ermu roared.

"Yes."

Everyone shouted in unison.

Five thousand cavalrymen roared and chased after them.

The two sides chased each other across the grassland.

Perhaps because they were in a panic and had no idea where to go, the Daqian cavalry accidentally ran to the river.

The river is too wide and too deep to cross.

The Daqian cavalry was in a panic and had no choice but to flee westward along the river.

"Hahaha."

"Catch him and kill him!"

Seeing this scene, Zhuoermu was overjoyed and led the cavalry to chase bravely.

Little did he know that Huo Qubing did all this on purpose to lure them into an encirclement.

Not far ahead, there is a valley called Funiu Valley.

Funiu Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has only one exit, making it a good place for an ambush.

Huo Qubing had already surveyed the terrain and ambushed his soldiers.

"Intercept them from the flank, prevent them from turning, and force them into the valley."

Brave but foolish often refers to people like Zhuo Ermu.

Seeing the valley ahead, he not only did not become suspicious, but instead thought he had forced the enemy into a dead end.

Zhuo Ermu shouted excitedly.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, two thousand cavalrymen quickly detoured from the right and encircled the Daqian cavalry.

The remaining 3,000 cavalry continued to follow and pursue.

Faced with a flank blockade, the Daqian cavalry had no choice but to flee into the valley.

"Hahaha, rush in and kill them all."

Seeing the enemy being forced into the valley, Zhuoermu, who thought he had succeeded, laughed heartily.

The Huyan cavalrymen were also full of excitement, as if they saw the scene of the Daqian cavalry being slaughtered.

"Charge~~~"

"Rush in~~"

"Kill them all~~"

In an instant, five thousand cavalrymen rushed into the valley.

But then, they were stunned.

The mountains on both sides of the valley were densely packed with Daqian soldiers, numbering tens of thousands.

They each held a bow and arrow, staring at them with a fierce look.

"No, I fell into a trap."

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Zhuo Ermu reacted instantly and exclaimed.

But it's obviously too late to retreat now.

"Swish swish."

The next second, dense arrows came pouring in.

In an instant, countless cavalrymen were shot and fell.

Screams echoed everywhere, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

At the same time, a large number of Daqian soldiers appeared at the exit of the valley, holding spears and shields, completely blocking the exit.
