Chapter 596: Agu Huai'en's Dream

Agu Huai'en has been living in fear for the past six months. It seems that there will be a big knife above his head at any time and anywhere, taking his life. This has made him very panic and afraid.

He couldn't help but be afraid. The Agu tribe has always been a supporter of the eldest prince Sok, and it was not until the last moment that they turned against Sop's camp. As a result, the Agu tribe was bloody, the old patriarch was beheaded, and most of the elites in the tribe were lost. And all of this was done by Agu Huai'en himself, but until now, he has no regrets, because he knows very well that if he didn't do this, in the war last year, in the trap carefully prepared by the old king Miranda and the new king Sop, the Agu tribe would bleed to death.

Every Donghu person knows that as long as there are seeds left, there is a possibility of a comeback, just like the Miscanthus grass all over the mountains, which can't be burned by wildfires, and will grow again in the spring breeze. He wants to leave seeds for the Agu tribe.

So, he raised the butcher knife to his father without hesitation, and the look his father left him before he died was not resentment, but relief.

But now, he was really scared. Donghu established a country and officially competed with the dynasties in the Central Plains, but he seemed to see his end. The court that issued orders uniformly, the military government that unified the source of troops, the war zone that was uniformly divided, the war zone commander appointed by the King of Donghu, and those troops that were transferred back and forth and were completely unrelated before were combined together, trained, and integrated. A brand new Donghu is appearing in front of him.

Of course, it is not good news for him.

Because the commander of this war zone is not him, but the newly rising figure, Alundai.

Alundai, the new patriarch of the Tieling tribe, the follower of the King of Donghu, Thorpe, since childhood. This is all the impressions that Agu Huai'en had of Alundai before, of course. Later, as Alundai's status rose, Agu Huai'en learned that Alundai had been defeated repeatedly by Gao Yuan. The most recent time was in Huaying near Yulin, where Gao Yuan annihilated thousands of soldiers from Tieling. In the end, he relied on Sop to annex the three tribes of Kele and recovered.

Such a person actually climbed to his head by relying on his personal relationship with the King of Donghu. Agu Huai'en did not think that Alundai, a guy who had been defeated repeatedly, had the ability to lead the entire Eastern Theater.

If it was Murong Kun, it would be fine. This guy had similar qualifications to himself, and in the last Donghu upheaval, although his position was not clear, he was not like the Agu tribe, who clearly supported Sok in the middle and early stages and was purged. But now, Murong Kun was transferred back to Helin by Sok, and served as an inexplicable deputy lieutenant in the newly established Taiwei Mansion. The Taiwei in charge of the army was led by Sop himself, and Murong Kun had become a decoration.

But compared to Murong Kun being sidelined, although he still led 5,000 elite cavalry, he felt a stronger sense of crisis. Because Murong Kun had successfully landed, and Thorpe put himself here, I am afraid he had the intention of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

The original 10,000 elites were slowly withdrawn by Alundai to only 5,000 cavalry now, and the 5,000 cavalry soldiers of the Agu tribe who were transferred away. They did not stay in the eastern battlefield, but were being reorganized in Helin. The next step was heard to be transferred to the northern theater. Agu Huai'en knew. It won't be long before the 5,000 soldiers who were transferred away will no longer belong to him.

If it goes on like this, Agu suspects that his soldiers will be withdrawn, and at that time he will become a piece of fish belly, at the mercy of others without any ability to fight back.

God has mercy on me, at this time, the expeditionary army came! When he heard the news, Agu Huai'en was not nervous about the approaching war, but he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the fight started, and it was good to fight. As soon as the war begins, Alundai will no longer have a reason to withdraw his elite troops, and the last 5,000 elite troops will be firmly in his hands.

War is a way to reduce the enemy's strength, but it is also a good opportunity to expand power. Agu Huai'en no longer has the ambition to fight with Thorpe. In less than a year, Thorpe, with the support of Yan Qi, Tulu and other former kings and old ministers, has firmly established a foundation with the help of the bloody pestle. He first cleansed many large tribes, and then took the opportunity to reorganize countless small and medium-sized tribes. He has established an army that frightens everyone. In addition, the palace guards who did not suffer much loss in the war with Yan State, Thorpe has firmly controlled the fate of these people.

War, and only war, can highlight one's own value and show the courage and bravery of the Agu people. He wants to let the King of Donghu, Thorpe, see that he wants to conquer the world and want to ride on the Central Plains. Generals like him are exactly what he needs, not flatterers like Alundai.

He wanted to fight a beautiful war to show his ability and loyalty to his new master, Thorpe.

A Gu Huai'en had already figured out his opponent very well. Helan Xiong, a Xiongnu, was a close friend of Gao Yuan of the Eastern Expedition Army before he started his career. It can be said that these two people were the victims of the Donghu people. The history of their rise was a history of blood and tears of the Donghu people. All Donghu people hated these two people so much that they wanted to peel off their skin, eat their flesh, and drink their blood.

Defeating or killing Helan Xiong was of great significance, not only on the military level, but also on the political level. A Gu Huai'en already knew that Thorpe's main battlefield was the Hetao Plain, competing with the Eastern Expedition Army for that fertile land, and then using it to control the prairie and the countless Xiongnu tribes.

Then, if he kills Helan Xiong here, it will be of great help to Thorpe's plan. Helan Xiong is not only Gao Yuan's iron and close friend, but also a banner for the Xiongnu to join the Eastern Expedition Army. Killing this person will be a major blow to Gao Yuan's plot to control the prairie.

More importantly, in Agu Huai'en's view, Helan Xiong's current strength is not strong.

Gao Yuan has been operating for several years, but he only has more than 5,000 cavalrymen. Helan Xiong leads 3,000 of them, which is already the largest cavalry in the Eastern Expedition Army. There are more than 10,000 infantrymen. Among these more than 10,000 infantrymen, less than half are veterans, and the rest are newly added in the past year. His two generals, Meng Chong and Yan Haibo, are both infantrymen and are not good at commanding cavalry. The iron-legged general is an infantryman and is good at commanding cavalry, but Gao Yuan did not put him here, which is a big mistake in Agu Huai'en's view.

The opponent's force is three times his own, but in Agu Huai'en's view, infantry has never been a problem. As long as he defeats the 3,000 cavalry under Helan Xiong, this victory will belong to him.

Loushan Stronghold, if it is lost, it is lost. His view on this battle is not the gain or loss of a city or a pond, but to defeat the opponent's cavalry and kill Helan Xiong. As long as this goal is achieved, he will win this battle.

Loushan Stronghold can be used as a chess piece, to attack Loushan fiercely, or to attract Helan Xiong's cavalry to come to the rescue. The infantry is not that fast. If you, Helan Xiong, want to control Loushan Stronghold and then control the entire battlefield, then it doesn't matter if you do it as you wish. As long as you are willing to come, there will be no chance to go back.

"Beat the drums, gather the generals!" A Gu Huai'en smiled, "The expeditionary army is coming, and the opportunity to make achievements has come."

Loushanzhai, Ye Feng touched his chin, very puzzled. According to his estimation, the enemy should arrive at Loushanzhai this evening, but it was already dark, and there was no sign of the enemy. The sent scouts had returned one after another, and no news of the enemy was brought back. Even the enemy scouts in this area disappeared.

This is not normal.

Abnormal things must be evil.

Ye Feng couldn't figure out the reason, but he was still happy, because he had more time to perfect his defensive position. In the next time, he would stick here like a nail.

With a night to perfect the defense, Loushanzhai was already as solid as a rock in Ye Feng's view. Before all his people died, the enemy would have no chance to come up. The entire Loushan Village has shrunk by now. In addition to the outer defense arranged during the day, the last defensive fortress has also been completed. If the enemy wants to take this place, they will have to pay with their lives.

A night passed quietly until the sun rose to three poles. A crowd finally appeared in the sky. The flags fluttering in the wind represented that the Donghu cavalry finally arrived at the battlefield.

It's about to begin! Ye Feng's heart, which had been hanging before, calmed down at this moment. He picked up a crossbow and a bag of crossbow arrows from his feet and laughed loudly: "The Donghu dogs are here, brothers, let's go and give them a little surprise first."

"Let the Donghu dogs taste our crossbows!" The men laughed, carrying crossbows one by one, followed Ye Feng and walked to the outermost defense line.

"Dad, Mom, your children have grown up, brother-in-law, sister, I won't let you lose face." Ye Feng thought in his heart.

At this time, most of the Eastern Expedition Army, which was still a day away from Loushan, was in Mengchong. Under the leadership of Yan Haibo, they were advancing towards Loushan. However, they did not see the 3,000-man cavalry unit of the Eastern Field Army of the Eastern Expedition Army, which was the most powerful among the dark blue troops. It seemed that there were only 10,000 infantrymen who came to complete this war.

"Forward, forward!" Yan Haibo rode a warhorse, running in the team, and urged the soldiers loudly, "Our brothers are waiting for us to rescue them. One step faster means a brother's life. Cheer up and move forward!"

The two armies were divided into two routes, separated by a few miles, facing each other from a distance, and moving forward side by side. This was a huge team. As infantrymen, they had to fight against cavalry, so some special weapons were naturally indispensable.

"Loushan will be a bloody grinding wheel." Mengchong on the other side looked into the distance and said to himself. "But victory will belong to us in the end."

All the plans for this battle were made by Meng Chong. In this regard, Helan Xiong completely handed it over to Meng Chong. Meng Chong was responsible for making the battle plan, and he was responsible for issuing orders and charging into battle. (To be continued...)
