Invincible Iron Army 18, Go kill Righteous King Book Flag

  Wang An's army set out quietly, heading north. They sent out scouts to try to find the Righteous King's troops and deliver a decisive blow.

  The Xiongnu troops were still attacking Wu Guo's fortress, hoping to take it down as soon as possible. With the black pot on his back, Wu Guo was extremely annoyed in his heart, thinking that these were all soldiers he had cultivated, and without losing a single one of my strength, I would lose a bit of my position in the hearts of the Jiedushi and Fangyu Shi.

  Wang An's army was lucky enough not to encounter the Xiongnu army along the way. It wasn't until then that Jiang suggested, "Brother Wang, we can launch a surprise attack on the Xiongnu's main camp. Their troops have all gone south to attack Wuguo's fortress, and only some old, weak women and children are left on the grasslands. If we can capture their main camp, the gains will be enormous, and it will also deal a huge blow to the Xiongnu's morale." Wang An shook his head and said, "What's the point of bullying some old, weak women and children?" Jiang replied, pointing at the soldiers who were wounded in battle, "But we are also a group of old, weak, and wounded soldiers." Wang An said, "The Xiongnu can do that, but we can't. If someone is bitten by a dog, can you still keep the dog?" Li Li said, "Yes, isn't it what the sages taught us to do - to return tooth for tooth?" The others immediately distanced themselves from him, afraid of being bitten. Wang An asked with some concern, "Brother, have you bitten anyone recently? No, I mean, have you been bitten by a dog recently? Ah, no, I mean, are you showing any signs of rabies?" Du Lu prayed, "Li Li, please don't bite me, and I won't bite you either. No, I mean, I've never bitten you before, so please don't bite me!" Li Li said, "You're misunderstanding my words. I meant that we can also do what the Xiongnu does - bully their old, weak women and children, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." The others let out a sigh of relief. Wang An said, "I'm a straightforward person who doesn't like to do things in secret." The others rolled their eyes, thinking that they were currently doing just that - secretly ambushing someone.

  Wang An led his troops to the original ambush site of Zuo Xianwang, preparing to continue ambushing the Xiongnu army. Jiang Cai said to him: "Brother Wang, we have already ambushed the enemy once here, the Xiongnu must be on guard, and continuing to ambush here may not be appropriate." Wang An replied: "Don't worry about that, just pay attention to hiding, rest assured that the Xiongnu will not think that someone dares to ambush the enemy twice in the same place, the enemy will definitely fall for it."

  Jiang Cai didn't think so, but he still followed Wang An's deployment and arranged the troops to prepare for an ambush. Du Lu also expressed his doubts, thinking that as a noble king, Wang An would surely have a grand procession with thousands of horses and carriages. Wouldn't our small group be like throwing meat to dogs, going there only to meet our demise?

  The Xiongnu cavalry is indeed approaching, but the number of troops is not many, only about 600 people. Jiang Zuo looked at it and was puzzled: "This is roughly the same as the situation estimated by Wang brothers, could it be that Wang brothers are gods, predicting the enemy's numbers in advance?"

  The Xiongnu army slowly advanced into Wang An's ambush circle, and Wang An's troops were ready for battle. After all, they had experience fighting the Xiongnu, and this time they didn't seem to be nervous at all.

  The leader of the Xiongnu hesitated for a moment when he arrived here, as this was where the Left Virtuous King's princess's guard army was annihilated last time. He had to be cautious and consider carefully before proceeding. The leader of the Xiongnu once again sent out scouts to both sides to investigate if there were any large Jin troops lying in ambush.

  The scouting troops of the Xiongnu gradually approached Wang An's ambush circle, and some of the Jin soldiers hiding in the ambush circle couldn't help but think: "We are about to be discovered by the Xiongnu scouts. If we attack now, we will definitely catch the enemy off guard. But if we wait any longer, it will be very passive." However, Wang An did not issue an order to attack.

  The army of Taiyuan was still waiting for an opportunity, and the scouts of Xiongnu were getting closer and closer to the ambush site of Taiyuan. The soldiers of Taiyuan could even clearly see the faces of the Xiongnu people. The soldiers of Taiyuan held crossbows aimed at the scouting troops of Xiongnu, ready to trigger the crossbow mechanism at any time.

  The Jin army was on high alert, preparing to attack. However, the Xiongnu scouts suddenly withdrew and stopped scouting. The Xiongnu leader said to his troops: "The situation ahead is urgent, we must hurry to the camp of General Zuo Xianwang, we cannot linger here." At this time, the sound of war drums suddenly came from both sides, and a large number of troops rushed out of the woods on both sides.

  The Jin army charged forward while continuously shooting arrows, Wang An said: "Our army must quickly defeat this enemy, otherwise the enemy's reinforcements will arrive and we will be in a very disadvantageous position". The Xiongnu cavalry was constantly being shot by arrows, falling off their horses.

  The Xiongnu guards were also seasoned veterans and quickly adapted to the battlefield environment, beginning to counterattack. They gathered together, constantly shooting arrows outward.

  In the brief initial battle, nearly a hundred of the Xiongnu troops were killed. Seeing that continuing to fight would be extremely disadvantageous, they broke through towards the east. The Jin army was also deployed to block this direction, hoping to cut off the enemy's escape route.

  The Xiongnu cavalry, once galloping, had a great impact force. The army marched in unison towards Wang An's army. The Jin army continuously shot crossbow arrows to attack the Xiongnu.

  The Xiongnu quickly rushed into the range of bows and arrows, constantly striking the Jin army with bows and arrows, and the casualties of the Jin army continued to increase. The opening and closing speed of crossbows was much slower than that of bows and arrows, which was obviously at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Xiongnu.

  However, the Xiongnu could not stay at this distance for long and had to break through the ambush circle. The Xiongnu urged their war horses on and charged towards the Jin army. The Jin soldiers hesitated for a moment, then revealed their determined faces, standing in the middle of the road, ready to block the advance of the Xiongnu army with their lives.

  The Xiongnu soldiers saw the Jin soldiers blocking their way, and they too showed a look of shock. They thought to themselves: Are these Jin soldiers all fools? Seeing the galloping warhorses, they didn't dodge, are they not afraid of being trampled to death, are they not afraid of being crushed into pulp?

  The Jin soldiers who blocked the way were covered in wounds by the Xiongnu, but they still persisted in fighting. They continued to fight with the Xiongnu soldiers. At this time, the Xiongnu war horses had approached them. They made preparations for a final showdown with the enemy army. They swung their battle knives and slashed at the galloping Xiongnu steeds.

  The Huns' warhorse was cut down by the sword, and the horse's blood splattered to the ground. The Hun soldiers were severely injured, and the Jin soldiers were knocked flying, suffering heavy casualties. The momentum of the Huns' charge was halted by the Jin soldiers. After the front rows of Hun cavalrymen were cut down by swords, the soldiers behind them were blocked by these corpses and could not continue to advance.

  The momentum of the Xiongnu soldiers' charge was blocked by the Jin soldiers, and then the Jin soldiers from all sides rushed out to prepare for the complete annihilation of this Xiongnu army.

  The Huns' army arrived very quickly, they lacked iron-made blades and were at a disadvantage in the melee with the Jin army. They were soon surrounded by the Jin army and killed to the last man. A Hun leader shouted: "Don't kill me, spare my life", but the Jin soldiers cut him down with their swords.

  Wu Guo gazed despairingly at the Xiongnu troops, his castle's gate had been breached. Endless streams of them poured into the castle, clashing with the remaining Jin soldiers.

  Wu Guo felt that he was not far from death, and he kept lamenting in his heart, why did the Xiongnu always attack him? Last time's god image I really didn't take away, I'm not a person who eats good things without doing anything. But at this time, the Xiongnu army suddenly retreated. The Xiongnu army left the city gate continuously. Wu Guo suddenly felt very strange, and asked the guard beside him: "Why did the Xiongnu army retreat suddenly". The soldier next to him was also shocked, really couldn't understand.

  The Xiongnu Chanyu and the Left Wise King received the news, an army had penetrated deep into the grasslands, killing the son of the Right Wise King. This immediately caused a stir and anger throughout the Xiongnu. They feared that this army would continue to attack other Xiongnu after entering the grasslands, knowing that there were no longer enough troops on the grasslands to resist the Jin army.

  The Right Virtuous King of the Xiongnu was extremely enraged, for this son was his only child and had been deeply loved since childhood. Losing him suddenly pained him to the heart. Moreover, in this alliance with the Left Virtuous King, there were other intentions at play. The Xiongnu army was divided into three parts: one-third under the control of the Left Virtuous King, one-third under the Right Virtuous King, and the remaining third under the command of the Chanyu himself. If the Right Virtuous King successfully formed an alliance with the Left Virtuous King, then the majority of the Xiongnu's military power would fall into his hands. At that time, even the Chanyu would have to act according to his wishes.

  At this time, everything is empty, and what he suspects most in his heart is that the Xiongnu's Khan sent someone to disguise himself as a soldier of the Great Jin Dynasty and lay hands on his son. He thought to himself: The leader of the Xiongnu must be watching my power grow rapidly and trying to strike at my strength through this move. I won't let him succeed. If I catch the actual handle, I will not let him go.

  The son of Duke Youxian was originally coming to welcome the bride, but on the way, his wife's guards were killed by a group of people claiming to be the Great Jin army. After hearing the news, Duke Youxian immediately recalled his troops, and he also suspected Qi Ge, the concubine of Duke Zuoxian, in his heart. He thought: "A group of people killed all the princess' guards and captured the princess, but still let the beautiful Qi Ge remain chaste, this is absolutely impossible, have you ever seen a cat not eating fish?"

  Zuo Xianwang and the Xiongnu Chanyu, in a fit of rage, led their troops to attack the border city of Da Jin. Meanwhile, You Xianwang quietly observed the situation and inquired about the truth through various channels. At that time, Wang An had also released other soldiers who were captured. After You Xianwang thoroughly understood the situation, he determined that Wang An's army had not harmed Zuo Xianwang's daughter and immediately put his mind at ease. He then sent his own son to escort the bride, with a team of still six hundred people, as if nothing had happened about recalling the troops.

  This back-and-forth exchange delayed a lot of time, and as a result, Wang An had the opportunity to redeploy his troops outside the pass and lay an ambush. On the surface, Wang An appeared to be saying "I expected this would happen", but in his heart he was thinking: "What's going on? I randomly said that the Xiongnu would send a small number of troops, how did I know exactly how many people they would send to fight? It was just a lucky guess, I didn't think it would actually come true, what a surprise!" The others looked at him with admiration, which made Wang An, who usually had a thick skin, feel a bit embarrassed.

  Left Xian Wang understood in his heart, but he didn't say anything. Only Qige felt extremely sad and thought to herself: "If it weren't for the Great Jin army not humiliating me, my fate would be miserable now. Does my chastity mean more to Right Xian Wang's son than my life?" Qige suddenly lost her good impression of Right Xian Wang's son. At this time, news came from the grasslands that Right Xian Wang's son had died in battle. Qige didn't feel sad about it and even felt a little relieved. She was also curious about the general who dared to pull out a tiger's tooth and thought: "This general is really bold and daring, actually going to the grasslands to commit murder. Doesn't he know how dangerous that is?"
