    For three consecutive days, Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, remained stationary outside the city and did not attack the city.  First, because he had no siege equipment for the time being, and he had not thought of a way to attack the city. Second, he had to find the Han army's cavalry and eliminate them to solve his worries.

    "Chief" He Hetie rushed into Liu Bao's tent, looking very excited, "Chief, the Han cavalry has been found!"

    "Found them!" Liu Bao stood up and asked hurriedly, "Where are they? How many soldiers and horses are they? Who is the commander in chief?"

    "They are stationed in Liucheng, with five thousand soldiers and horses, and the commander is Zhang Xiu!"

    "Liucheng? There are only five thousand soldiers and horses, Zhang Xiu" After Liu Bao heard this, the expression on his face changed several times, but he was more angry.

    Five thousand soldiers and horses, stationed in Liucheng a hundred miles away, dared to rob the camp of his 100,000-strong army. The Han army was really arrogant.  Moreover, this is contempt for him, King Zuoxian, and it is even a humiliation!

    Although Zhang Xiu was known as the Spear King of the North, Liu Bao did not take him seriously.  The Han people have generals, but except for the flying general Lu Bu, the others are not worth mentioning.

    "Is this true?" Liu Bao asked again.

    ¡°I guarantee it with my head, it¡¯s absolutely true!¡± He Hetie said firmly.

    "Come here, beat the drum and gather the generals!"

    "yes!"

    "Dong" The drums of the generals gathered in the Xiongnu commander's tent rang.

    After a while, dozens of generals, tribal leaders, etc. all came to the commander's tent.

    After Liu Bao told everyone the news that the Han army's five thousand cavalry were stationed in Liucheng, the crowd became excited.

    Liucheng is remote and just a small city. The city walls are low and dilapidated, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend.  Moreover, the Han army only has 5,000 soldiers and horses. Even if the commander is Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the north, what should he fear?  Therefore, this is definitely a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and everyone is vying to go.

    There were endless quarrels in the handsome tent, and in the end, Liu Bao could only make the decision.

    "Sha Qianli, the leader of the Kunshan tribe, and Yangming, the leader of the Hulun tribe, order you two to lead your own troops and surround Liucheng from the east and west. You must annihilate all Zhang Xiu's troops in the city!"

    ¡°It¡¯s an order!¡±

    Sha Qianli and Yang Ming spoke very loudly. After receiving the arrows, they looked at the others proudly.

    They each had 5,000 soldiers and horses under their command, totaling 10,000. Zhang Xiu's 5,000 Han troops were not taken seriously by them at all.

    Half an hour later, Sha Qianli and Yangming led their troops into two groups and headed towards Liucheng.

    In a small valley about fifty miles away from Maling, Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu each led 5,000 soldiers and ambush on the hills on both sides.

    The mountain is not steep and the terrain is so gentle that even cavalry can charge up.  In other words, this place is not conducive to an ambush.

    But there is no better ambush terrain in Beidi County.

    However, the Han army was already prepared.

    After receiving the flying pigeon letter from the lord Liu Cong, Hao Zhao, Su Ze, Jiang Xu, and Yang Fu were very excited. Especially the lord's sixteen-character tactic made their eyes shine. Isn't this exactly how to deal with the Huns?  Good idea?

    Liu Bao will soon know the news that Zhang Xiu is stationed in Liucheng, so they arrived here yesterday.

    Yiqu and Fuping were garrisoned by 5,000 soldiers led by Su Ze and Yang Fu respectively. Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu set up ambushes here.

    The road in the valley is blocked by stones and rolling logs, and pits have been dug in many places leading to the mountains.

    In addition to rolling wood and thunder stones, the Han soldiers on the hill also had flying thunder and hand-held repeating crossbows.

    Soon after the Huns soldiers left the camp, Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu received the news.

    "It's great that the lord's flying pigeon delivers the message!" Hao Zhao was filled with admiration after reading the news from the Skynet Camp. It was like fighting with a blind man, he had every advantage!

    The Huns soldiers divided into two groups, and coming towards them was Sha Qianli from the Kunshan tribe.  Now that they have collided, it can only be considered bad luck for Sha Qianli.  However, Yangming's luck will not be very good, so Zhang Xiu is naturally waiting for him.

    More than half an hour later, there was a cloud of smoke and dust in the distance, formations of horse hooves, and the Huns' army rolling in.

    Hao Zhao, Jiang Xu and 10,000 Han soldiers were excited but also a little nervous.  This is the first time to fight against the Huns' cavalry.

    The Huns' cavalry rushed into the small valley and found that the road ahead was blocked by stones, so the front team stopped.

    The rear team immediately rushed over and seemed a little confused.

    "Why stop the march?" Sha Qianli asked loudly.

    "Leader, look -" a tooth general saidHe said while talking about the stones and rolling logs.

    "Mutuo, please bring some people immediately to remove the rocks!"

    "Yes!" The tooth general got off his horse and led a dozen people over to move the rocks.

    At this moment, dozens of "small stones" were seen flying down from the mountains on both sides.

    "What is that?" Sha Qianli was surprised.

    Although Zhang Xiu used flying thunder when he attacked the camp, these Huns soldiers had never seen it before!

    ¡°Having never seen it before, you naturally don¡¯t know the power of flying thunder. These Huns soldiers were just confused and puzzled, but not frightened. They waved their weapons to block it, and some soldiers even used their hands to catch it.

    But the next moment, they regretted it too much.  No, there was no chance for them to regret it.

    ?? Continuous deafening explosions sounded, and the soldiers who came into contact with the flying thunder were blown to pieces, while those who caught the flying thunder with their hands had turned into a pile of flesh and blood.

    Those further away, some had only half their heads left, some had their arms and legs flying up into the air, and some had only half their bodies.  Many war horses fell to the ground, dead or alive, with their bodies mutilated.

    Although those who were far away were not really injured, they were shaken by the huge explosion and became confused.

    "Fire the arrow!" Jiang Xu and Hao Zhao gave the order almost at the same time.

    Countless crossbow arrows were fired at the chaotic Huns soldiers. For a moment, they screamed and fell on their backs.

    "Be careful, leader!" Sha Qianli, who was in a daze, was suddenly awakened by a tooth general. At the same time, more than a dozen guards raised their shields, but dozens of guards were shot to death by crossbow arrows.

    "Damn Han army, how dare you ambush me!" Sha Qianli broke into a cold sweat and woke up at the same time.  "Come forward and kill all the Han troops!"

    "Kill!"

    There is only a small slope on both sides of the valley, and the war horses can charge up it. The Huns soldiers urged the horses to charge up.

    But after just a few steps, the horse's hoof suddenly fell into a pit.  These pits were not deep, but when the horses' hoofs sank in, their legs suddenly broke and the soldiers on horseback were thrown out.

    The horses from behind surged up, unable to stop, and fell down all of a sudden.

    Immediately afterwards, countless rolling wood and thunder stones fell from the hillside.

    "Ah" There was a scream, and the Hun soldiers rushing in front turned into meat cakes, including their men and horses.

    "Kill!" The Han soldiers on the hill, led by Hao Zhao and Jiang Xu, rushed down and killed them.

    The infantry charged at the cavalry. Where have I seen these Huns soldiers before?  In the past, as long as they charged and killed, the Han army would either flee, or kneel down and beg for mercy, allowing them to slaughter them.

    But this Han army dared to do this because they had support.  Dozens of flying thunder were thrown over, and the Huns soldiers woke up as if from a dream. They were frightened before they heard the explosion and ran away.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
