230 Chapter 230 double sun realm
The sky was blue, the wilderness was vast, the wind blew and the grass was low, seeing the cattle and sheep rustling.
This should have been a magnificent sight, but the loud horn sound, along with the killing intent of the Chinese cavalry, and the thunderous sound of iron hooves echoed across the vast grassland.
On the distant horizon, black smoke rose into the sky. The burning Xiongnu Royal Court looked like the last sad song of the Xiongnu tribe under the setting sun.
The Yan and Zhao cavalrymen equipped with stirrups stepped on the wolf flags and swept across the grassland like wolves and tigers. Arrows rained down like rain, and blades gleamed like snow.
The Wanderers from all over the world followed closely behind, and they surrounded the Xiongnu Royal Court like a pack of wolves, not allowing a single Xiongnu to escape.
The head of a Xiongnu man could be exchanged for a hundred mu of grassland, which was a huge temptation for the Wanderers of various countries. If they wanted to make contributions, they could exchange the head of a Xiongnu man for a wife and children.
In addition to the Paladins, there were also a large number of aristocrats and landlords who galloped on the Prairie, setting the tents of the Xiongnu people on fire. From Handan to Jinyang, and even inside and outside of Yanmen Pass, almost all the aristocrats and landlords of zhao state had participated in this grand banquet. The uncles of the king of Zhao, the relatives of the concubines, all had a part in it. These years, the private soldiers of these aristocrats were like fierce beasts on the Prairie, unscrupulous, even more so than the Xiongnu people, which made the Xiongnu people pale.
kill all the men, but leave the women alive! the nobles, the Lords, and the private soldiers roared in an earth-shaking voice.
Further away, there were caravans made up of four-wheeled carriages. The black-awning carriages of the caravans were like long worms on the ground of the grassland, winding for dozens of miles.
The caravans were like vultures on the grassland. They did not participate in the killing, but only in the feast of carrion.
The caravans and carriages were carrying the Army’s provisions and supplies. They were also carrying the ” trade quota ” of wool and woolen fabric. Wherever the caravans went, all kinds of situations on the Prairie would be brought to them.
The Xiongnu Warriors were putting up their final resistance in the heart of the Royal Palace. This resistance represented the last bit of dignity of the Xiongnu race.
The leading man Chanyu could have chosen to break out of the encirclement, but the leading man Chanyu was tired and didn’t want to run anymore. He was the leader of the Wolf Pack, not a stray dog on the grassland.
Previously, the chief man Chanyu’s court was in Ying city. Then, li mu and Xia Pingan came with their cavalries. The chief man Chanyu’s court was forced to move from Ying city to Wuliang Suhai. Then, the chief man Chanyu’s court moved from Wuliang Suhai to hang ‘AI mountain in Mobei. Seven years ago, the chief man Chanyu’s court moved from hang’ AI mountain to today’s Bogdo. Three years ago, the chief man Chanyu moved here from Bogdo, heading north to reinforce the troops.
In less than 20 years, the chief had been forced to move the palace four times. He was chased around by the iron cavalry of Yan and Zhao on the grassland, living a precarious life at any time. The once ambitious chief had gradually aged during the migration. More and more white hair appeared on his head, and his once strong body had become hunched. The number of Xiongnu tribes on the grassland had also decreased.
The fiercest battle broke out where the Xiongnu Royal Court was. The arrows of the cavalrymen from both sides flew across the sky like a swarm of locusts.
The arrows would collide with each other in the air.
However, it was a little awkward.
The bone arrowheads of the Xiongnu people could no longer penetrate the armor of the enemy cavalrymen. The cavalrymen of the zhao state were wearing double-layered armor made of wood from iron bamboo wood soaked in tung oil, as well as five layers of sackcloth, soft silk, and sheepskin. This kind of armor was very light and had enough protection. It was enough to block the bone arrowheads of the Xiongnu people.
On the other hand, the Xiongnu soldiers fought the same way their ancestors had. They did not have armor and could only rely on their bodies. Under the rain of arrows from the Zhao cavalry, the Xiongnu soldiers fell to the ground one by one, staining the plains with blood.
On a Hill not far from the palace, banners were fluttering in the wind, a banner with the characters “li” and “Xia” respectively.
Behind the hill, the 10000 elite Zhao cavalrymen acted as the reserve force. They were silent and ready to charge out at any moment.
On top of the hill, Xia Pingan and Li mu, who were wearing armor, were each riding a horse. They looked at the Xiongnu Royal Court in the distance, which was covered in flames. A group of generals stood behind the two of them, holding their breaths, not daring to disturb the conversation between the two people in front.
before we surrounded him, the leader had time to escape, but he didn’t. He chose to stay behind. li mu pointed at the palace in the distance with his whip and sighed. he doesn’t want to run anymore, Zhenzhen.
“He must be tired!” Xia Pingan smiled and looked away from the surrounding environment. Looking at the terrain here, it was a bit like the Hala Helin area at the North foot of hang ‘AI mountain in Outer Mongolia, ” I think he has also realized that we let him go on purpose the first two times. Only he can gather the wandering Xiongnu tribes together. Wherever he escapes, it will be convenient for us to clean up and exterminate him. It will be easier to clean up the mess when the garbage is gathered together.
after this battle, the Xiongnu people should have cleaned up the place, right? ” li mu sighed.
it should be almost done. The tribes that didn’t run away are almost all exterminated. As for those that ran away, let them go and cause trouble for others. Xia Pingan also let out a long breath, ” it will take many years to completely digest such a vast grassland. This grassland needs people to guard it. General, you are now the great general of zhao state, a high position among the ministers. I think you don’t need to return to Handan. You should stay. It may not be a blessing for you to return to Handan.
Li mu suddenly turned his head and looked at Xia Pingan. Xia Pingan and Li mu looked at each other calmly. Li mu suddenly smiled and said, ” my wish in my life was to pacify the Xiongnu. Now that the Xiongnu has been pacified, my wish has been fulfilled. I can retire and return to my hometown at any time. What about you? what are your plans? ”
Xia ping ‘an sighed and looked at the largest flagpole of the Xiongnu Royal Court falling in the distance. He shook his head gently and said, ” I’m afraid I have to go too, Huanhuan.
Not long after, Xia Pingan saw a group of cavalrymen charging towards them from the direction of the Xiongnu Royal Court. The fierce general at the front was holding a bloody head in one hand and shouting along the way, ” the chief man Chanyu has been beheaded! The chief man Chanyu has been beheaded!
The entire grassland was in an uproar. Seeing that bloody head, the remaining Xiongnu soldiers immediately collapsed. Some of them ran in all directions, while others completely gave up on resisting. Their heads were chopped off in the blink of an eye.
The cavalrymen quickly rushed to the small hill on this side. The fierce general who had raised his head got off his horse and quickly walked to Xia Pingan and Li mu. He knelt on one knee and raised the head in his hand high, ” reporting to the general and Prime Minister Yan, the chief man Chanyu has been beheaded. This is the head of the chief man Chanyu. Please take a look.
After the fall of the zhao state, Daidu became an important military guard of the state and the Prime Minister was the highest administrative military chief of Daidu. In these years, as the state of zhao continued to expand territory outside Yanmen Pass and defeated the Xiongnu again and again, woolen fabrics brought money to the state of zhao. In order to control li mu and win over Xia Pingan, the king of Zhao followed the practice of Daidu and conferred Xia Pingan the title of Prime Minister Yan, which nominally allowed him to rule the land north of Yanmen Pass.
Xia ping ‘an’s authority and Li MU’s authority had many overlapping areas. The king of Zhao had originally wanted the two tigers to compete with each other and keep each other in check. He thought it was a clever move, but he didn’t know that the two were comrades and confidants. Xia ping’ an didn’t care about the so-called Yan Minister’s authority. For Xia ping ‘an, this identity was only convenient for him to deal with the nobles of Handan, Zhao.
In the northern region of zhao state, li mu and Xia ping ‘an could be said to have great power in the court and were famous in all the countries. Outside the pass, their reputation could even make the Xiongnu tremble in fear. As long as Li Ziqi and Xia Ziqi appeared on the grassland, the Xiongnu tribes within a hundred miles of the grassland would flee.
In order to ensure their safety, the caravans would place the “li” and “Xia” flags on both sides of their carriages to intimidate the Xiongnu people.
The bloodied old head had no beauty at all. Xia Pingan looked at manchanyu’s head and was about to say something when he saw the whole world turn into a rain of light and shatter.
Everything in the realm Pearl seemed to be in a daze, as if it was a long dream.
After a while, the surging divine power began to wash Xia Pingan’s body.
Under the impact of the divine power, Xia Pingan felt as if his body had broken through a ceiling and reached a new realm.
The Shen power in the secret mandala directly broke through to the two sun realm.
