The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.
Chapter 168 Cutting out the roots
"kill!"
Li Jing waved his hand and the cavalry swarmed into the camp.
The Hun soldiers were already in chaos and had no intention of resisting.
Phew!
Li Jing led the elite cavalry to gallop across the country, blood was splattered wherever he passed, and broken limbs were scattered all over the camp.
In just a cup of tea, most of the Hun soldiers in the camp were killed, and the rest fled in all directions.
Li Jing snorted coldly upon seeing this, and immediately ordered his cavalry to encircle the enemy in different directions.
On the other side, Huhanye rushed out of the camp under the escort of a dozen personal guards.
But then he was spotted by Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao and others who came out of the city.
"Haha, where are you running to, little Huhanye? Give me your life."
When Zhang Fei saw Huhanye, he was overjoyed and rode his horse to catch up with him.
Huhanye dared not stay and could only run away desperately.
The personal guards around him turned around and rushed forward, trying to stop Zhang Fei, but were stopped by Zhang Liao and Cai Sheng.
The few personal guards were no match for Zhang Liao and his companions and were beheaded in a moment.
Zhang Fei continued to chase Huhanye without slowing down.
Huhanye felt bitter in his heart, knowing that he would probably die here today.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was getting closer and closer, he simply stopped and turned around to kill Zhang Fei without hesitation.
Since I can't escape, I'll fight to the death.
Huhanye was a good martial artist, and with his precious sword, he was able to fight Zhang Fei on equal terms.
But after ten moves, he gradually showed signs of decline, gradually could not hold on, and was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Phew!
A moment later, Zhang Fei seized the opportunity and pierced his chest with his Zhangba Snake Spear.
"cough...."
Huhanye suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell off his horse and died.
A great hero, Huhanye, the Chanyu of Western Xiongnu, fell here!
"Bah, you still want to escape from my hands?"
Zhang Fei spat in disdain.
Then he retracted his spear.
The death of Huhanye caused the complete collapse of the remaining Xiongnu forces.
Li Jing commanded the cavalry to pursue, beheading countless people and capturing many prisoners.
However, a considerable number of Xiongnu remnants still escaped and could not be completely wiped out.
But it doesn’t matter, Guan Yu and Huo Qubing are already waiting for them.
Therefore, Li Jing did not get entangled. After dividing his troops into several groups to continue the pursuit, he quickly arranged to clean up the battlefield and collect the prisoners.
He himself returned to Hulan to report to Ning Quan.
In fact, Li Jing didn't need to report at all.
Soldiers like Ning Quan could see it clearly from the city wall.
Seeing the great victory, Ning Quan was still very excited.
The victory in this battle meant that Ning Quan had gained a firm foothold in Beiting and became a true local lord.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and have won by chance."
Li Jing came forward and bowed to report.
"General Li, you are too polite. How could I not know your abilities?"
Ning Quan said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am humbled by your kindness." Li Jing said politely.
"Well, although we have won this battle, our army still cannot stop."
"Huhanye is dead, and the 200,000-strong Xiongnu army has been completely annihilated. The Western Xiongnu no longer has any soldiers left to fight. This is the best time for us to take them down in one fell swoop."
Ning Quan pondered for a moment and then said.
"I understand!"
"When General Huo returns, I will arrange for him to attack immediately and destroy the Western Xiongnu."
"In addition, I suggest that General Lu Bu go with us," Li Jing suggested.
"Well, General Lu and General Huo have always worked in perfect harmony. Let's do as you say." Ning Quan nodded in approval.
"Your Highness, the results of the battle are in. We annihilated 110,000 Xiongnu troops, captured 40,000, and had 50,000 escape. Our casualties were less than 4,000."
At this time, Lu Bu came to report.
"Yes, Not Bad."
"Fifty thousand is a bit much. I wonder how many Generals Guan and Huo can stop?"
Ning Quan said with some concern.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. General Guan and General Huo will definitely be able to wipe out all the enemies." Li Jing said confidently.
"I hope so."
"By the way, General Lu, you must immediately reorganize the Donghu and Huyan cavalry."
"When General Huo comes back, you will set out together and vow to crush the Western Xiongnu." Ning Quan ordered in a deep voice.
"According to the order!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu respectfully clasped his fists and agreed.
Then, Lu Bu turned and left.
Using barbarians to control barbarians is the strategy Ning Quan has always adopted.
This was the intention behind arranging the Donghu and Huyan cavalry to attack the Western Xiongnu.
They are all Huns anyway, so I don’t feel sorry no matter how many of them die.
Ning Quan was not afraid that they would turn against him. The Donghu and Huyan tribes were right next to Hulun. If they dared to rebel, Ning Quan would wipe out their entire clan in minutes.
Just as Lu Bu was reorganizing the Donghu and Huyan cavalry, Guan Yu and Huo Qubing were frantically chasing and killing the defeated Xiongnu soldiers.
The main force of the Xiongnu was completely defeated, and the remaining defeated soldiers were not a threat at all.
Guan Yu and Huo Qubing simply dispersed their cavalry and launched a frantic hunt on the vast grassland, trying not to let go of any fish that escaped the net.
Most of the defeated Hun soldiers had no war horses and could not outrun the cavalry at all. In less than half a day, nearly 40,000 defeated soldiers were killed.
In the end, only seven or eight thousand people escaped.
Ning Quan was not idle either. After cleaning up the battlefield, he quickly sent troops to occupy the Huns' food camp.
One can imagine the amount of food and fodder carried by the 200,000-strong army. The food and fodder were piled up like mountains in the camp.
"Your Highness, the Xiongnu granary actually has over 300,000 dan of grain, enough to feed the entire population of Beiting for three months!"
After an inventory, Zhang Fei ran over excitedly to report.
"Well, that's right. We are short of food."
"Immediately transport all the food and fodder back to Hulan, and inform the people that they can return home."
Ning Quan said happily.
"Yes, I obey!"
Zhang Fei took the order and led the soldiers to transport food and grass, and at the same time sent someone to convey Ning Quan's order.
When the people of Hulan City learned that the Huns had been defeated and could return home, they were overjoyed.
They left the city with their families and large and small bags.
Although the people in Huluan are provided with food and accommodation, their own home is still the best.
.........
In the evening, Huo Qubing and Guan Yu led their troops back.
The two immediately reported to Ning Quan and reported the results of the battle.
"Your Majesty, I and my companions have annihilated most of the defeated troops, but several thousand people still escaped." Guan Yu bowed.
"Well, that's pretty good!"
Ning Quan nodded with satisfaction.
"General Huo, although it is very hard, you still cannot rest. You are still responsible for the great task of destroying the Western Xiongnu."
Then, Ning Quan looked at Huo Qubing and said.
"I understand. Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Huo Qubing clasped his fists and said.
"Well, General Lu Bu will be your deputy commander for this expedition, and I'll give you 30,000 cavalry, mainly Donghu and Huyan cavalry."
"I wonder if 30,000 troops are enough?"
"Your Majesty, 30,000 soldiers are enough!" Huo Qubing said confidently.
"Okay, then you can go find General Lu later. He has already prepared the soldiers, and you will set out early tomorrow morning."
