Chapter 60: Han Army Goes to Frontier
The hazy sky and the cold wind as cold as a scimitar, this is a typical northern scenery.
Looking around, thousands of miles of ice are frozen and snow is floating. Inside and outside the Great Wall, there is a vast snow-capped world. The solidified ice and snow are like a huge mirror, solid and thick.
However, the ice and snow at this time were cracking, and cracks seemed to be torn out by an invisible hand, extending to the north and under the Great Wall.
The crack extends from south to north. At the source of the crack, a red wave swept through, which is more powerful, shocking and powerful than the stormy waves in the sea.
It was this surging wave that made the ground tremble, and the ice and snow could not resist the violent vibration and began to crack, which made the scene in front of us.
This red wave was the Han army under the command of Zhou Yang.
The 250,000 army, plus 75 war horses, galloping, how shocking it is! How magnificent! It is so powerful that it is impossible to not crack the ice and snow.
The Great Wall is covered by ice and snow, like a frost dragon, with a magnificent momentum and winding away, not knowing where it finally came.
Under the crystal ice and snow, the Great Wall was faintly red. It was stained with the blood of the Huns during the Great Wall Battle. Although several years have passed, it has not faded.
The cracks of ice and snow arrived at the Great Wall, and finally came to an end and no longer extended.
"rumble!"
With the loud thunderous sound, the galloping Han army came to the Great Wall and began to cross the Great Wall along the road. Countless Han army galloped on the mountains, crossed the Great Wall, and entered the territory of the Huns.
At this moment, inside and outside the Great Wall, the red waves were flooded with Han troops everywhere, war horses everywhere, flying flags everywhere, and a sea of ​​soldiers was surging, which was more shocking than the waves of the sea!
Zhou Yang was stationed under the Great Wall, looking at the Han army crossing the Great Wall, and his mood became excited again and it was difficult to calm down.
A few years ago, Zhou Yang led the Han army to the Great Wall and fought a decisive battle with the Huns. In that battle, the corpses accumulated like mountains and blood flowed into a river. The blood that the Huns sprayed on the Great Wall has not yet faded, which shows the tragic battle back then.
In that battle, the Han army won an unprecedented victory, defeating 500,000 Huns to ashes and have not recovered yet.
However, there is a regret in the battle between the Great Wall and the Han army, and a great regret that makes people feel regretful!
That is, the Han army had few cavalry and could not cross the Great Wall on a large scale and chase into the hinterland of the Huns. When the war was decided to win, the Han army seized the Huns' war horses, crossed the Great Wall, and chased into the desert, effectively killing and hurting the Huns, and achieved good results.
This is the pursuit action taken by the Han army when the victory is decided, which cannot be regarded as taking the initiative or crossing the Great Wall. Therefore, it is the biggest regret of the Han army.
It’s different now. Millions of people crossed the Great Wall and rushed to the Dragon City, the holy land of the Huns. How exciting it is!
Zhou Yang was so excited that he could only open his eyes, clench his fists, and breathe heavily to express his emotional fluctuations.
In decades, there has never been such a large-scale crossing of the Great Wall. This is the first time in the history of the Han and Xiongnu wars, which in itself is enough to make people feel passionate.
Not to mention, this was facilitated by Zhou Yang and the result of Zhou Yang's hard work. Zhou Yang is both excited, proud and happy. It is so lucky to have his own efforts in such a historical task!
"call!"
Zhou Yang took a cold breath, suppressed his excitement, and slapped the horse on the back. The Feng-chasing horse seemed to know the excitement of his master, and he raised his neck and his long neigh, spread his four hooves and ran away, causing a whirring sound of wind.
Zhou Yang rushed up the Great Wall in one breath, pulled the reins of the horse, and stopped chasing the wind horse. Zhou Yang looked at the Han army on the Great Wall, and saw that the Han army flooded the Great Wall like a tide, flooding the Great Wall, flooding the inside and outside the Great Wall.
At the end of my sight, within a radius of dozens of miles, there were all red waves, all galloping Han army. The Han army's horse hooves were treading, the ice and snow were shattered, and the ice chips were splashing, which was extremely spectacular!
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"
Zhou Yang saw the magnificent scene in front of him and couldn't help but whisper excitedly. Such a shocking scene could not be explained if it was not seen by yourself, or if all the words were used, it would be impossible to express it.
"Master, we have crossed the Great Wall! We are crossing the Great Wall!" Li Guang rode his horse and shouted from afar, tears shining in the tiger's eyes, and he was so excited.
He was a famous border general and fought a lifelong battle with the Huns, both big and small, with no one hundred or dozens of battles. He was always looking forward to leading a powerful force, crossing the Great Wall, chasing into the Huns' hinterland, and giving the Huns a fatal blow.
However, for decades, the Han army not only did not cross the Great Wall, but the Huns came to harass and plunder, and the humiliation of the Han Dynasty happened one by one. The feeling of aggrievance would be unimaginable if it were not for witnesses.
Now, his dreams and his long-cherished wishes have all become real! The Han army has really crossed the Great Wall, but it still crossed the Great Wall on such a large scale!
Although Li Guang had known that such a grand event had been around, when this moment came, he still felt like a dream, still excited and his mood was in extreme fluctuations.
"Yeah!" Zhou Yang's excitement was not inferior to Li Guang, and it was hard to speak, so he just agreed.
"Master, this is the first time that the great man has crossed the Great Wall on such a large scale!" Cheng Buzhi arrived on a horse, and tears in the tiger's eyes rolled down his cheeks.
It is said that men will not shed tears easily, but before they are excited, Cheng Bushi and Li Guang are two famous generals on the border to fight against the Huns. They fought with the Huns for a lifetime, and the iron cavalry broke through the Huns. It was his lifelong ambition. To break through the Huns, the Han army had to cross the Great Wall. Only by passing through the Great Wall can it come true.
The Han army crossed the Great Wall and had not yet broken through the Huns. However, as long as this critical step is taken, everything is possible!
"Master, do you know? Since the siege of Pingcheng, the Han Dynasty has always been revenge on the Huns and made preparations in secret, but it has not crossed the Great Wall for decades!" Cheng Buzhi's voice was loud, passionate, and his chest was fluttering sharply: "It was the war several years ago. Although we had crossed the Great Wall, although we burned the grassland and killed countless Huns, we could not compare with the present! This is a 250,000 army, 750,000 war horses, and a whole million people! One million!"
The hands were clenched into fists and shaking them hard, making it difficult to calm down for a long time.
One million, an amazing and huge number. Not to mention watching a million people cross the Great Wall, just thinking about this scene is enough to make people feel passionate. Who can not be excited?
Not only Zhou Yang, Li Guang, and Cheng were so excited that they could not recognize these generals, but even ordinary soldiers were very excited, and they all shouted in unison: "Long live the great man!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
Zhou Yang, Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi and others shouted.
"The Han army is mighty!"
This is not only the battle call of the Han army, but also the praise of the Han army soldiers! It is precisely because they did not care about life and death, abandoned their wives and children, and rushed on the battlefield that reversed the strategic trend of the Han Dynasty, achieved today's prosperity, and achieved today's feat!
"This is the first time since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has entered the hinterland of the Huns on such a large scale. We must not have no names without names, we must obtain a name!" The tears in Gongsun He's eyes rolled down his cheeks, and his face was so excited that it was red.
"Yes!"
This statement immediately aroused a lot of congratulations, and the generals agreed in unison.
"This is the most proud and exciting event since the founding of the Han Dynasty. It cannot be without names!" Li Guang's intentions were still unfulfilled, and the light shone in the tiger's eyes.
The Great Wall Victory a few years ago was certainly inspiring and proud, but it was worse than what was happening in front of us. After all, this was a major event under the strong situation of the Han Dynasty. The Great Wall Victory was a great victory in the Han Dynasty under the strategic defensive situation, and the two were incomparable.
"Master, you have to give a name!" Cheng Buzhi's eyes were shot out. He wanted to give a name for this action, but he knew that Zhou Yang must give a name. If Zhou Yang had no Zhou Yang, there would be no current situation and no current affairs. Zhou Yang made it his best!
"The Grand Marshal takes it! The Grand Marshal takes it!"
All the generals agreed in unanimously, and all of them agreed with this proposal from the bottom of their hearts.
The great situation of the Han Dynasty today was not Zhou Yang alone, but Zhou Yang's contribution was the greatest. It was the most appropriate title to be named after Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang did not refuse, pondered slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Since the founding of the Han-Hungarian border, after passing the Great Wall, to the north, the territory of the Huns. To the south, it is the territory of the Han-Hong Kong. For decades, the army of the Han-Hong Kongs has not crossed the Great Wall and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Huns. This is our first experience. It is of great significance and should have a name. As for what is the name of this title?"
His eyes kept turning, he thought, and said, "Across the Great Wall, go north, enter the territory of the Huns, and call it out of the fortress. If we enter the hinterland of the Huns on such a large scale, it is called the 'Han army out of the fortress'!"
"Han army goes out of the frontier?"
The generals savored the film and praised it in unison, saying, "Okay! Good name!"
"From then on, the Han army has a name!"
Li Guang, Cheng nodded with relief and began to savor.
"Han Army Goes Out of the Frontier", a famous legend in history. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns, the Han army went out of the frontier in large numbers and created countless glory and legends.
"The Shanyu escaped at night" and "The Wolf's House" are the heroic songs of the Han army going out of the frontier!
This is the first time that the Han army has gone out of the frontier. This name is destined to be passed down through the ages and become synonymous with glory and legend!
Since then, the powerful Han army has galloped on the desert, creating one glory after another that has been passed down through the ages!
In just four short words, it has a huge effect of inspiring people and inspiring morale. Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, Zhang Tong and others only felt their blood boiling, and they were all relieved and couldn't say anything. They raised their arms and shouted, "The Han army is out of the frontier! The Han army is out of the frontier!"
These four words made the soldiers happy from their hearts and their blood surged, and they all shouted loudly: "The Han army is out of the frontier! The Han army is out of the frontier!"
Only these soldiers who participated in it personally could understand that these four words were hard-won. They were created by the Han Dynasty for decades, exchanged by the Han Dynasty for humiliation, exchanged by the Han Dynasty for the lives of the people on the border, and fought with swords and guns!
The soldiers' eyes were filled with tears, and they were extremely excited, and they rushed straight to the horse.
"rumble!"
The thunderous sound of hooves fills the world, with a shocking power!
"Click! Click!"
Starting from the Great Wall, cracks of ice and snow appeared again, extending northward and reaching the end of the world!

Deep in the desert, the sky is hazy, the north wind roars, the snow is flying all over the sky, and the snow is very thick.
The cold wind blew on the body, like a knife cutting flesh, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable. However, it could not stop the Huns' enthusiasm, and there was a Huns' camp not far away.
This camp is not too big or too small, of medium size, and there are probably thousands of tents, one in the east and one in the west, messy and disorderly, and there is no structure at all.
The camp was shining with flames, the meat was fragrant, and it was the Huns who were roasting lamb, simmering horse breasts, and preparing to camp.
The belief in victory spread among the Huns. The Huns, regardless of gender, age, all believed that the Huns would win this time. The herdsmen were happy. Once they arrived at the camping place, they would set up a tent, sweep away the snow, raise fires, roast lamb, and simmer horse breasts, and prepare to celebrate.
At this moment, there was a joyful atmosphere in the camp. Countless Xiongnu herds sat around the fire, roasting lamb, simmering horse breasts, and singing pastoral songs. Even more joyful herders danced.
For a moment, the pastoral songs were melodious and the dance was overwhelming. The whole camp was full of joy, even more joyful than the New Year.
In the history of the Huns, there have been several major moves southwards. Every time they go south, the Huns have a dream, filled with joy.
During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, more than 300,000 Xiongnu went south, dreaming of occupying the Hetao land and having a pasture with abundant land and beautiful water; during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, Touman Shanyu led 500,000 people to the Hetao land and also wanted to occupy the Hetao land, but it ended in a disastrous defeat. The Huns were killed and injured, and blood flowed into rivers and corpses accumulated like mountains.
The Huns suffered extremely heavy losses in these two trips to the south, but it was a thing of the past and was a bit far away. Just a few years ago, the Huns personally experienced a large-scale move south. The military minister Shanyu led 50 people, full of confidence to break through Yanmen, invade Chang'an, and force Emperor Jing to surrender. However, that time, the Huns still ended in failure, and the heavy losses have not recovered yet.
This time, the military minister Shanyu went south again. The Huns were full of confidence. They pursued their dreams and would definitely defeat the Han Dynasty, seize the homes of the Han people, shepherd sheep and horses in the Han people's fields, enjoy the delicious food and mellow wines of the Han people, force the Han people's wives and concubines to cry... The prospects are very good, and it is impossible to be unhappy for the Huns.
The Hun men next to the fire sang and danced, creating a joyful atmosphere.
The Hun women were threading needles and sewing flags. This flag was not a wolf flag used by the Hun army, but a flag used by the tribe, used for land enclosure.
Once the Huns defeated the Han Dynasty, the plump farms of the Han people would be the Huns' pastures. If the flags were not prepared in advance, how could they enclose the land?
Every time the Huns go south, this is a must-do. Although they fail again and again, they suffer heavy casualties, they are happy and they will be flags whenever they have time.
The children of the Huns surrounded the fire, occasionally tearing a piece of mutton while the adults were not paying attention, or secretly drinking horse breasts.
The child's actions made the Huns laugh.
An old Xiongnu man with gray hair, the head of the tribe, smiled very happily and said loudly: "Children, don't worry, when you arrive in the Han Dynasty, you can eat whatever you want! The food of the Han people is so delicious, it is too delicious than the roasted lamb of the Great Huns. When I beat the Han people, I ate it at the Han people's homes. Looking back now, I still have endless aftertaste! There is endless aftertaste!"
A pair of turbid eyes turned, as if they were savoring the food of the past, with a look of yearning: "Originally, I should have enjoyed the food of the Han people again a few years ago, but the Han people produced a young man named Zhou Yang who defeated the Great Huns' army and lost the opportunity! Now, the opportunity has come again!"
"Class leader, is the food of the Han people really delicious?" Some children tilted their necks and felt a little unbelievable.
"Baby, it's true!" The patriarch pointed his finger and explained to the children: "There are so many cooking techniques for the Han people, such as cooking, fried, boiling, stuffy, stir-frying... There are many names and the variety of patterns is dazzling, and it's dazzling. It's not like the Great Huns. This mutton is roasted except for one roast! Not to mention anything else, just the fragrance makes people drool when smelling it!"
Speaking of food, let alone the Huns, which country can compare with China in the whole world? The Huns have eaten mutton for life, except grilling or grilling, and there is no new trick.
"Gugu!"
The patriarch couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Just talk about mutton, we can only roast it, but when it comes to the hands of the Han people, there are many new tricks, but everything tastes different, and it is so beautiful! It is so beautiful!"
"Really?" the child blinked, still a little suspicious.
"Of course it's true!" The patriarch nodded and smiled: "When we fight to the Han Dynasty this time, we will catch a few Han people's blister kitchens and cook some food for you, and you will know what delicious food is!"
"Thank you, the patriarch!" The child's flexible eyes were filled with wonderful stars.
"The warriors of the Great Huns are the pride of heaven. They are born the most noble. They should enjoy the most delicious delicacies and drink the richest wine!" The patriarch raised his head, raised his chest, stretched his neck long, and was as excited as a rooster. "The timid Han people should be born to be slaves to the Great Huns warriors, herding sheep and cattle for the Great Huns, and cooking delicious food!"
"Children, don't forget that the Han women are thin and tender, watery and beautiful as flowers!" The patriarch's eyes flashed with extraordinary spirit and said nostalgic: "Since I can't ride a horse or swing a scimitar, I have never enjoyed the Han women again! The white and tender skin is as lubricated as mutton fat!"
The patriarch was so whispering that the Huns' herdsmen could hear it, and they wanted to defeat the Han Dynasty immediately and do whatever they wanted.
"rumble!"
At this moment, the sound of hooves sounded like thunder and the ground was trembling.
"This is the army! What a majestic sound of hooves!" The clan leader had been through the battle formation for a long time, and he knew that at first he heard it was a well-trained army: "With such a majestic reputation, only the elite troops of the Great Shanyu headquarters! The Great Shanyu sent the elite troops of the headquarters, and the Great Xiongnu started a war against the Han Dynasty!"
"The war has begun! The war has begun!"
For the Huns, they were looking forward to the war with the Han Dynasty every day, hoping to fight to the Han Dynasty immediately. When they heard this, they cheered.
"The sound of hoofs comes from the south. The elite troops of the Great Shanyu rushed to us. We have to work harder to catch up!" The patriarch felt a little regretful. If he fell behind, not to mention enclosing land, there would be no one in the wilderness.
"Huh!" The patriarch was surprised and suspicious: "Why are they rushing to the north?"
Chapter completed!
