Your Majesty, please draw the card

The place Shangmaping was carefully selected by Zhao Yun as an ambush site.

Shangmaping is the only way to go to Shangjun. The flat road is very popular with cavalry.The two ends of this place are narrow and the middle is open. As long as the two ends are blocked, the enemy can be closed and beaten.On the east side of the central open area is the surging Yellow River, which is impossible to pass without ships, and on the west side is a high mountain, which is not conducive to the cavalry to cross.

Zhao Yun deployed [-] infantry at both ends of the narrow Shangmaping. These people all carried spears and shields specially designed to restrain the cavalry, which could block the enemy's advance to the greatest extent.He ambushed [-] archers on the mountains on the west side, taking advantage of the terrain to prevent the Huns from passing.The remaining [-] elite riders were arranged by him in the long grass on the bank of the Yellow River.The dense aquatic plants as tall as a person hide this army, and it is impossible to see it unless you look closely.

Everything is ready, just waiting for King Zuo Xian to step into the encirclement.

Exploring the horse brought back the enemy's position time and time again.Zhao Yun's only worry now is that Zuo Xianwang's army is too spread out.After hearing the news that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was in Shangjun, King Zuoxian rushed south almost day and night.Therefore, there is a long distance between his vanguard and the main force, and there is also a large gap between the entire army.

Zhao Yun has already decided that if there is no way to ambush the entire enemy army, he will let Zuo Xianwang's vanguard go first.Although doing so will put a lot of pressure on the infantry who cut off the two troops, it is better than letting Zuo Xianwang see the clues and escape from the encirclement.As for the situation where King Zuoxian's follow-up troops have not yet fully entered the encirclement, the front troops have reached the other side of Shangmaping, and the situation must be cut off immediately.

Zhao Yun stood at the head of the line on horseback, waiting patiently for his prey.His heart was calmer than ever, and at this moment he only wanted to win.He wants to pick off the head of the enemy chieftain with the silver gun in his hand!

"Report to General Baima, King Zuoxian's vanguard has stopped."

Zhao Yun frowned at the news that Tan Ma sent back.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, they stopped where they were, and it doesn't seem like they are going to change their route." Tan Ma also looked puzzled.

In fact, King Zuoxian issued a strange order to his vanguard officer, which prompted the vanguard officer to make this unreasonable move.

Zuo Xianwang ran all the way to "grab credit", at least he thought so.None of his subordinates wanted to miss the big pie of catching the emperor of the Southern Dynasty alive, so they inevitably cared a little bit when assigning tasks.No one wants to lead the rear army, everyone wants to be a vanguard officer, but there can only be one vanguard officer.In the end, King Zuo Xian chose his most admired general as the vanguard officer. In order to appease the grievances of others, he ordered the vanguard officer not to leave the central army too far, and all the troops must gather once before reaching Shangjun.

I have to say that Zhao Yun's luck was really good. When Zuo Xianwang's army finally set foot on Shangmaping, this army had just assembled.A full [-] troops, like a huge piece of fat, entered the open area in the center of Shangmaping little by little.At this time, Dayan's army had been in ambush for more than six hours, during which time they only had one cold meal.But everyone's eyes lit up with excitement. For the first time in their lives, they felt that not only could the Huns be defeated, they could even be said to be vulnerable.

Finally, the last member of Zuo Xianwang's army also entered the encirclement.Zhao Yun held his breath and looked at the tallest and largest flag in the enemy's ranks. He guessed that King Zuoxian was right under that flag.

"Kill Zuo Xianwang!"

Seeing that the time had come, the vigorous white horse rushed out first!

"Kill Zuo Xianwang!!!"

There was a thunderous cry of killing.

At this moment, Dayan's most elite cavalry turned into a sharp knife and pierced the enemy's heart!

When the Huns reacted, the first wave of arrow rain had already fallen on their heads.Dayan's bows and arrows are far better than those of the Xiongnu. Zhao Yun's most important thing in training cavalry is riding and archery.High shot, oblique shot, flat shot, three rounds of bow and arrow, plus two rounds of crossbow arrows, every cavalry is as perfect as a textbook when completing these actions.For today, they do not know how many times they have practiced.Layer after layer of calluses grew on the fingers, and one after another was rotted by grass targets. They had to do hundreds of times a day just to bend the bow and raise the crossbow on the horse.

Bend the bow and bid farewell to the moon in Han Dynasty, and insert the feathers to break the arrogance of heaven!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun had rushed into the core of the Huns with his troops.He first cut off King Zuoxian's army flag with the sword Liu Xi gave him, then turned around and rushed towards a small group of Xiongnu troops not far away who were clearly dressed differently.He picked off six golden-armored generals in a row, and finally pierced a Hun general in a leather cap in shock.

"King Zuo Xian is dead! King Zuo Xian is dead!"

The Huns were completely stunned.They never thought that their coach would be killed by the enemy in a face-to-face meeting.At this time, the mysterious southern cavalry had broken through their formation and ran from one side of the river bank to the other.This cavalry is equipped with a strange harness on the horse, and it is more flexible and faster than the Huns who were born on horseback!

Several Xiongnu generals wanted to shout and close their formation, but Zhao Yun launched a second attack.This time the Xiongnu army was completely cut in two, the rear half was completely disintegrated, and the soldiers fled in all directions regardless of the general's order.The front half of the army was still gathered together, and the surviving Hun generals organized about 5000 people and rushed towards the narrow area at the end of Shangmaping, trying to escape the encirclement.It's a pity that what they encountered were spearmen and shield soldiers who had been waiting impatiently for a long time.In a narrow place, the horse's impact is very limited, and the people behind are stopped by the people in front, and they can't turn the horse's head, so they can only be blocked there.When the Huns finally found out in despair that it was impossible to rush out, Zhao Yun had already led the cavalry and almost packed up the Huns' rear army.The last small group of about 5000 Huns tried to cross the mountain, but was stopped by archers in ambush on the mountain.Although they were not afraid of death, they couldn't dodge the dense arrows, and none of them managed to rush up the mountain.

There were wailing war horses and corpses of Hun soldiers everywhere.Thunderous cheers erupted on the Shangmaping. This is the voice of the victor, and the voice of a rising nation!

Zhao Yun walked to the bank of the river on horseback and washed his long spear with the water of the Yellow River.Suddenly, he laughed, feeling that the suffocation in his heart a few days ago disappeared with the battle just now.

What is the love of children, if I can protect the world for the king I love, my wish is enough!

"Reporting to the Holy Spirit tomorrow, Guangda Shanyu, urgent report! King Zuoxian died in battle, and the entire army of King Zuoxian was wiped out!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing the news, Yi Zhixie Shanyu sat down in shock.A day ago, he received a report from the fast horse that the eldest prince led people to loot Shuofang.After killing several generals in a rage, he ordered the army to turn around, and transferred back the army under Yanmen Pass to fight back with him to Shuofang, intercept the eldest prince, and surely regain the wealth of Shuofang.

Xue Huairen advised him to leave the eldest prince alone and send an army to drive the eldest prince far away from the retreat of the Xiongnu army. He should focus on destroying the Southern Dynasty first, and then he would have as much gold, silver and jewelry as possible.Yi Zhixie Shanyu scolded Xue Huairen bloody, thinking that he was almost as hateful as the sinister and sneak attacking prince.If it hadn't been instigated by Xue Huairen, how could the Xiongnu army have left the great Shuofang, and how could they have followed the way of the eldest prince?Xue Huairen was almost deprived of his title, Yi Zhixie Shanyu ordered the rear team to change to the front team immediately, and rushed back to Shuofang.

Unexpectedly, after only one day of walking, Yi Zhixie Shanyu was completely stunned when he received the news that the 5 troops brought by Zuo Xianwang had been annihilated.

"How is it possible? Who did it?" Xue Huairen was also quite surprised.What King Zuoxian took away were Shan Yu's direct line troops, 5 people were worth [-] cavalry, who could easily destroy them?

"According to those who escaped, they were cavalry from the southerners. Their horses were wearing iron armor, making them invulnerable."

"Nonsense!" Xue Huairen did not think that the Southern Dynasty could create a cavalry force stronger than the Huns.He believed that the war horses of the Southern Dynasties had iron palms, but they wore invulnerable iron armor?If there was such a thing, how could the Southern Dynasty be beaten all the way to the door of the house by the Huns?

"Is the emperor from the south here?" Yi Zhixie Shanyu panted and asked.

"No... I don't know. It is said that the leader of the team is a white-haired and long-toothed wrestler who stands a foot tall."

Yi Zhixie Shanyu's heart trembled: "Could it be that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty invited the divine soldiers?"

Xue Huairen hurriedly said: "Don't panic, Shan Yu, I think the white-haired warrior's statement is just an exaggeration of those deserters. For the current plan, we should first send people to find out whether the Zuoxian King's army is really wiped out. If this is true, the people from Shangjun must be withdrawn first, and then make plans after regrouping. If there are still some of Zuo Xianwang's troops, let them tell Shan Yu what happened. Shan Yu's hand Isn’t that person still there? Why don’t you ask him first, where did Nanchao get this elite soldier? Since the eldest prince can use praying mantises, cicadas, and orioles to loot Shuofang, maybe Nanchao bribed them. What about the Xianbei people?"

"Xianbei dog?" Yi Zhixie was stunned, nodded and said, "That's right, the southerners can't beat us, only the ungrateful Xianbei dog can do that. But... isn't it that the Southerners and the Xianbei are at odds?"

Xue Huairen said, "The people of the Southern Dynasty are very cunning. It is possible for the emperor of the Southern Dynasty to buy off the Xianbei people in order to survive."

Yi Zhixie Shanyu pondered for a moment: "Since that's the case, the army should stay where it is, and then decide which direction to go after this king clarifies the matter. When will Lord Longyang's carriage arrive?" He turned around and asked the attendants beside him.

The attendant replied: "I will report to the Grand Chanyu tomorrow. The southerner was seriously injured. Shanyu had ordered him to walk as smoothly as possible. It may take half a day to catch up."

Yi Zhixie showed a hint of unbearable expression on his face, and waved his hand: "Please ask the witch doctor to pick him up and see how his wound is doing. When the carriage arrives, send him directly to this king."

"Yes!"

A haze flashed across Xue Huairen's eyes.
