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

"Report——"

Not long after, a scout came on horseback to report.

"General, today's battle is over, the Xiongnu army has retreated!"

"Hahaha, great!"

"All troops, listen up! Start cooking immediately and set off at 3:00 AM tomorrow morning!"

Hearing this, Li Cunxiao burst into laughter.

"As ordered!"

Following Li Cunxiao's order, everyone started working enthusiastically.

"General Huo, you will set out ahead tomorrow morning and eliminate all the Xiongnu scouts along the way. The key to victory in this battle lies in a surprise attack."

Li Cunxiao looked at Huo Qubing again and said.

"Don't worry, General Li, there will be no problem!"

Huo Qubing nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's discuss the specific battle plan."

Li Cunxiao nodded, and then discussed the specific details with Huo Qubing, Guan Yu and Lu Bu.

Li Cunxiao was a military general of the Tang Dynasty and one of only two generals under Ning Quan who had commanded heavy cavalry in battle.

The other one is Li Jing, so he is naturally the main general.

Soon, Li Cunxiao finalized the details and then started eating.

"Report——"

A few people were eating when a scout suddenly ran over from a distance.

"What happened?"

Seeing the scout's panicked expression, Li Cunxiao frowned and asked.

"General, an unknown scout has been spotted!"

The scout said hurriedly, panting.

"Unknown scout?"

Li Cunxiao said in surprise.

"Yes, these scouts don't look like Xiongnu people, they look more like Daqian people."

The scout said hurriedly.

"Huh? Daqian people?"

"Could it be that they were sent by Beiting? How many people are there?"

Li Cunxiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"General, there are seven of them, on the hillside five miles northwest!"

The scout continued.

"Humph, if they are not Huns, then they can only be sent by Beiting."

"If that's the case, then this is an interesting matter."

Li Cunxiao narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"Yes, this means that Beiting knew the Xiongnu were coming, but chose to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire without providing assistance."

Huo Qubing echoed.

"Yes, that should be the case, but we need to verify it to know for sure!" Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

"That's easy. I'll just go and catch them and we'll know."

"You three wait here, I'll be back soon!"

Lu Bu was an impatient man, and he immediately stood up and left after hearing this.

Seeing this, Li Cunxiao didn't say anything.

If Lu Bu goes personally, it will be no problem for him to capture a few scouts.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Bu returned with his men and the five men.

The five men were all tied up and their mouths were stuffed with rags.

"I accidentally killed two of them, and the rest are here."

"I've already asked, and they are indeed spies sent by Beiting."

Lu Bu threw the captives to Li Cunxiao and others and said with a sneer.

"It really is Beiting? Haha, so vicious!"

Hearing this, Li Cunxiao also sneered.

"What does General Lee intend to do with them?"

Guan Yu asked.

"Let His Highness handle this matter."

After thinking for a moment, Li Cunxiao replied.

"Well, then leave it to His Highness."

Everyone agreed.

.......

At the same time, in the Hun camp.

Huhanqi sat on the first seat with anger on his face.

"Waste! All of it!"

"After two days of continuous attack, we couldn't even take down a small city like Hulan."

He slammed the table and broke it.

"Zuo Xian Wang, calm down!"

"We underestimated the enemy. Also, the intelligence was wrong. The Hulan garrison was far more than 2,000, but at least 6,000 to 7,000."

On the side, Ashina said hurriedly.

"Six or seven thousand, so what? Is six or seven thousand the reason?"

"We have 100,000 warriors?"

"One hundred thousand can't beat six or seven thousand? Isn't this a joke?"

Hu Hanqi said with a ferocious look on his face.

"Father, calm down. Although we didn't take Hulan, after two days of continuous attacks, there are only a few Hulan defenders left. If we fight with all our strength tomorrow, we will definitely be able to take it down in one fell swoop."

Seeing this, Hu Hanmao also hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Humph."

"Pass the order down, attack with all your strength tomorrow and make sure to capture Hulan!"

Hearing this, Huhanqi calmed down a little, and then snorted coldly.

"promise!"

Ashina and Huhanmao responded quickly.

But what they don’t know is that they won’t be able to wait until tomorrow.

The next day!

Three o'clock in the morning.

Li Cunxiao led the cavalry and was ready to attack the Hun camp at night.

"General Li, all the Xiongnu scouts along the way have been eliminated."

At this time, Huo Qubing rode his horse to the front of the army.

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Cunxiao nodded and waved his hand.

"promise!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately turned their horses around and headed towards the Hun camp.

Half a cup of tea later, they arrived near the Hun camp.

And at the same time.

Inside Hulun City, the attacking troops are ready.

If you want to defeat the 100,000-strong Hun army, you cannot rely solely on cavalry charges; you must have the assistance of infantry.

Therefore, even if there are less than 3,000 soldiers left in the city, we must attack.

"Your Highness, we are ready."

Li Jing came close to Ning Quan and reported.

"very good."

"Then send a signal."

Ning Quan said in a deep voice.

“Here!”

Li Jing nodded in response and then waved his right hand.

Soon, a torch lit up on the city wall.

The torch is the signal, marking the beginning of the attack.

Outside the city, Li Cunxiao saw the signal and a smile appeared on his face.

"Attack!"

At a command, Li Cunxiao led 500 heavy cavalry and 1,000 attendant knights straight to the Hun camp.

Lu Bu and Huo Qubing led the cavalry to protect its two wings.

In Hulan City, 3,000 infantrymen, led by Xiang Yu, Zhang Liao and other generals, rushed out of the city gate and attacked the Xiongnu camp.

"Boom."

The deafening sound of iron hooves rang out, like thunder rolling in the sky, causing the entire grassland to tremble violently.

"No, enemy attack!"

Seeing the sudden arrival of the cavalry, the Hun sentry was immediately panicked and shouted.

But it was too late.

Thousands of cavalrymen came like a flood and rushed into the Hun camp in an instant.

The heavy cavalry was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Wherever they went, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and broken limbs and arms danced everywhere. The scene was extremely terrifying.

The light cavalry on both wings followed closely behind, their long spears like a forest, piercing one Hun soldier after another, and screams were heard incessantly.

In the blink of an eye, the Hun camp turned into a Shura hell.

"what happened?"

Hearing the noise, Huhanqi hurriedly ran out of the tent.

When he looked up, he was stunned.

The Hun camp was littered with corpses, blood was flowing all over the ground, and a strong smell of blood was spreading in the air.

Countless Hun soldiers were killed or wounded.

What made him feel even more suffocated was that the attackers were actually cavalry, and heavy cavalry at that.

Huhanqi had experienced how terrifying heavy cavalry was.

Five years ago, he led his army to fight against the Arabs and suffered a great loss. That was simply beyond human power.
