Chapter 573 Long Yan is furious

Generals defeat the enemy: Chu Tian's war journey Chu Tian, ​​a great general who was famous in the court, had a strong interest in military affairs since he was a child. He was familiar with military books, well versed in military tactics, and was born with supernatural powers and high martial arts. Under his leadership, the army was disciplined and well-trained, and repeatedly made military exploits, becoming the backbone of the country. This year, the Huns in the north began to stir again and frequently invaded the border. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, and the people on the border suffered terribly. When the news reached the capital, the emperor was furious and immediately summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures. Chu Tian stepped forward without hesitation and volunteered to go to the expedition. "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to go to the expedition, and I must drive the Huns out of our border and give the people peace!" Chu Tian knelt on one knee, his voice firm and loud. The emperor looked at the high-spirited general in front of him, and his heart was full of relief and trust. He immediately agreed to his request and gave him the tiger talisman, giving him full responsibility for the expedition. After receiving the order, Chu Tian began to prepare for the expedition without stopping. He personally selected the elite soldiers in the army. These soldiers were strong and experienced in combat, and were loyal to Chu Tian. At the same time, he also conducted a comprehensive inspection and update of the army's equipment to ensure that every weapon was extremely sharp and every set of armor was durable. At the oath-taking meeting before the expedition, Chu Tian stood on a high platform and scanned the soldiers below with a sharp gaze. "Soldiers! The Huns invaded our border and harmed the people. As soldiers of the country, it is our duty to defend our country! Today, we are going to the Huns, and we must let them know that our territory cannot be violated and our people cannot be bullied!" Chu Tian's voice echoed in the square, arousing the soldiers' passion. "Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers shouted in unison, the sound was deafening, and the morale was extremely high. The army marched towards the northern border in a mighty manner, raising dust all the way. Chu Tian rode a tall black horse and walked at the front of the team. His eyes were firm and cold, always paying attention to the movement ahead. After several days of long journey, the army finally arrived at the border. At this time, the border was in a mess, the villages were burned, the people were displaced, and the crying was deafening. Chu Tian looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and the anger in his heart burned even more. He secretly vowed to make the Xiongnu pay a heavy price for what they did. After settling the army, Chu Tian did not rush to attack, but first sent several reconnaissance teams to go deep into the Xiongnu territory to find out their troop deployment and marching routes. After a detailed reconnaissance, Chu Tian learned that the Xiongnu had dispatched 100,000 troops this time, led by their Chanyu himself, and was stationed on a grassland not far from the border. The Xiongnu army was mainly composed of cavalry, with strong mobility, good at riding and shooting, and a fierce and brutal combat style. Facing such a powerful enemy, Chu Tian was not afraid at all. He carefully studied the combat characteristics and terrain of the Xiongnu and formulated a thorough combat plan. He decided to adopt the tactic of dividing and attacking together. He first sent an elite force to make a feint attack from the front to attract the attention of the main force of the Xiongnu, and then sent two special forces to outflank from both sides to cut off the Xiongnu's retreat, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop. On the day the battle started, the sky was gloomy, as if it was also mourning for this cruel war. Chu Tian personally led the troops of the frontal feint attack and launched a fierce attack on the Xiongnu camp. For a time, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the swords flashed. Seeing this scene, the Xiongnu Chanyu thought that Chu Tian's main force was all here, so he ordered the whole army to attack, trying to eliminate them in one fell swoop. Just when the main force of the Xiongnu was attracted, Chu Tian's two special forces quietly outflanked from both sides. They took advantage of the empty defense of the Xiongnu rear, quickly broke through the defense line, and successfully cut off the Xiongnu's retreat. At this time, Chu Tian saw that the time had come and immediately ordered the whole army to launch a general attack. On the battlefield, Chu Tian rode his black horse, wielding a sharp spear, and rushed into the enemy camp like a brave lion. His spear skills were sharp, and he could knock down an enemy every time he shot. Under his leadership, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they fought bravely and fought a desperate battle with the Huns. Although the Huns' army was brave, they gradually fell into trouble under Chu Tian's careful layout. They were attacked from front and back, and they were in a dilemma and their formation was in chaos. However, the Huns' Chanyu was not willing to fail. He personally led an elite cavalry unit to try to fight his way out. Chu Tian saw the Huns' Chanyu's actions and was shocked. He knew that if the Huns' Chanyu escaped, the battle would fail. So he led his personal guards without hesitation and rushed towards the Huns' Chanyu. "Kill the Xiongnu Chanyu and avenge the people!" Chu Tian shouted loudly and rushed into the Xiongnu Chanyu's cavalry formation. His personal guards followed closely behind him and launched a thrilling close combat with the Xiongnu cavalry. In the fierce battle, Chu Tian and the Xiongnu Chanyu finally met on a narrow road. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of hatred and murderous intent. The Xiongnu Chanyu waved a big knife and slashed at Chu Tian. Chu Tian dodged sideways and easily avoided the attack, then quickly stabbed the Xiongnu Chanyu with a spear. The Xiongnu Chanyu quickly resisted with a big knife, and the two sides fought back and forth and launched a fierce fight. The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Chu Tian was also injured in many places, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, with only one belief in his heart: he must kill the Xiongnu Chanyu and end the war. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Chu Tian suddenly discovered a flaw in the Xiongnu Chanyu. He seized the opportunity without hesitation and thrust his spear into the chest of the Xiongnu Chanyu. The Xiongnu Chanyu was unable to dodge and was pierced through the chest by the spear. He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and then slowly fell to the ground. With the death of the Xiongnu Chanyu, the Xiongnu army was leaderless and fell into chaos. Chu Tian took the opportunity to order the entire army to pursue and carry out a final encirclement and suppression of the Xiongnu army. After a fierce battle, the Xiongnu army was finally completely defeated and fled across the border in a panic. The battle ended with Chu Tian's great victory. He led the army back in triumph and was welcomed by the people and rewarded by the emperor. However, Chu Tian did not become proud and complacent. He knew that although the war was temporarily over, the peace of the border still needed to be guarded at all times. After returning to the capital, Chu Tian proposed a series of suggestions to the emperor to strengthen border defense, including building the Great Wall, adding beacon towers, and regularly sending troops to patrol. The emperor adopted his suggestions and made him responsible for their implementation. Thanks to Chu Tian's efforts, the border defense was greatly strengthened, and the Huns no longer dared to invade easily.
