    On the sixth day of the attack (that is, the day after the reinforcements set off).  Thunder Horse galloped on the prairie, and no one made a sound. The long-term, high-intensity and high-consumption battle made Thunder soldiers exhausted, and no one had any strength.  They were on the verge of collapse. If the Huns' pursuit stopped at this time, only a few of the more than 300 surviving Thunder soldiers would still be able to sit upright on their horses.  The Huns still had no intention of giving up, and their intention to kill them all was very obvious. The Thunder soldiers had no choice but to grit their teeth and persist.  From the very beginning, the Huns firmly held the advantage in terms of strength, and pursued in alternating divisions, allowing the Huns to get the necessary breathing space.  This is not the case for the Thunder Cavalry. They are in a weak position and have no substitutes. They must be prepared to deal with attacks at all times, and their spirits are high for a long time.  The Thunder soldiers have learned to sleep on horseback and will not waste the short battle breaks. This is all forced by the ferocious Huns. They urgently need rest.  Many people were swaying on horseback with their eyes closed, exhausted and sluggish. However, as soon as Li Jin's order to "prepare for battle" came, the momentum of hundreds of men immediately changed completely. If there was any substance to the cold murderous aura, even  The wounded soldiers guarding the center of the cavalry were also like wounded beasts, restless and dangerous.  Li Jin could feel that Thunder Cavalry was changing.  The grim current situation made it impossible for Li Jin to view this change with a happy mood. After so many brothers died in the battle, Li Jin felt heavy in his heart.  Although he has been fighting on the front line, leading the troops forward with strong personal bravery, and hundreds of enemies died at his hands, he still blamed himself for failing to save more soldiers, and Li Jin even began to doubt  , whether his decision to lead the Thunder Cavalry deep into the Huns' territory was correct.  "I hope I can take them out of the prairie alive. I must go back." Qi followed closely on Li Jin's left side.  The rider's face was covered in blood and his clothes were torn. The spear in his hand seemed to have been washed in a pool of blood. After drying, dark red blood stains covered the gun body. It was a little sticky to hold. The place where the arrow was hit on his left shoulder was simply bandaged.  After a while, the blood had already stained the white cloth red, and the wound burst again.  If it weren't for the iconic and exquisite sword on his waist, it would be difficult to recognize him as Di Yun, the most energetic general of the Thunder Cavalry and the head of the "Five Fengxiang Juniors".  "Brother, the war horse can't hold on any longer. What should I do?" Di Yun reminded Li Jin in a low voice. He didn't say "brothers can't hold on anymore either." The battlefield is no joke. If you don't want to die, you have to grit your teeth and persevere.  .  , if the horse is no longer able to run, the Thunder Cavalry will have no choice but to be slaughtered; running out of arrows means that the big yellow crossbow is useless, and the Thunder Cavalry will lose the most deterrent weapon against the Huns, and can only rely on cruel hand-to-hand combat to repel them.  enemy.  "How many more arrows are there?" "About two hundred. One volley is all it takes." Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Jin's face still turned ugly.  ¡ª¡ªActually, it was quite difficult for the big yellow crossbow to misfire until now.  , One person and two horses can carry more supplies. Secondly, the Thunder Cavalry was very restrained when using the rhubarb crossbow. It did not have the primary purpose of shooting the enemy's horses. Most of the time, it was just a click to force the Huns back.  After thinking about it, Li Jin said in a deep voice: "." Di Yun nodded: "Yes." Li Jin's eyes were filled with sparks and he said to Di Yun: "In my opinion, the Huns are also dying. Not only are they slow,  There are a lot of soldiers behind, and there are also fewer pursuers. It's difficult for us, and it's difficult for them. Now is the time to compete with our wills! Let's continue running eastward as much as possible. Maybe the Huns will give up first. If it doesn't work,  Let's find a place to stop and fight to the death!" Di Yun responded and stopped talking.  At noon on the seventh day, the Thunder Cavalry finally stopped. The Huns were still behind and the alarm was not lifted.  The reason why they stopped was because the horses carrying the Thunder soldiers had run out of gas. In just one morning, more than thirty horses were killed. Dozens of cavalrymen who were sleeping on their horses were unable to react in time.  , fell heavily to the ground, and two soldiers fell to death on the spot.  I really can¡¯t run anymore!  Another important reason why Li Jin decided to stay was because of the terrain.  This place is still hundreds of miles away from Shuofang. It was originally under the control of the Huns. The water and grass were not rich enough and it was not a good place for grazing. Few Xiongnu tribes were willing to come here. Usually few people paid attention to it. Over time, it gradually became a  A veritable no man's land.  Even without the Huns, the now weakened Han Dynasty would not be able to expand its territory to the north. In order to avoid causing "international disputes", the Han Dynasty's army would not easily cross the border, but the Huns would not because of the "international disputes" of the Han Dynasty.  "Reserve" and reduce the number of plunders going south. When looting, you will never be vague, and when you kill, you will never be soft-hearted.  The Han Dynasty was not as weak and withered as it is now. The Han Dynasty was glorious!  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a talented and strategist, and the powerful generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in Mobei, led the Han cavalry to attack the Huns in the north several times. Their troops were invincible in every direction, and the arrogant Huns were so miserable that even the royal court was lost.  Capturing countless people, cattle and sheep, the remnants of the Xiongnu fled to the bitter cold of the far north in embarrassment.  The Huns retreated in an all-round way, vacating a large area of ??land, and the Han Dynasty gradually moved towards the north.Han people, including some Han people who had fled wars and harsh regimes, also went north to build settlements and plant crops on the territory that originally belonged to the Huns, and gradually developed further afield. As a result, bamboo shoots sprouted up at the junction of the Han Dynasty and the Huns.  Generally, a large number of Han villages and towns appeared.  When the Huns recovered their strength and returned to the territory that originally belonged to them, they were naturally unwilling to let the Han occupy their grasslands, and attacks on Han settlements became increasingly frequent.  In order to protect themselves, the style of Han settlements also changed accordingly. Villages and towns connected by earth forts became a unique landscape on the grasslands at that time.  As the Han Dynasty gradually weakened, it was unable to provide adequate protection for the people who settled on the grasslands, and the civilian forces were unable to continue to harass the Huns. In the end, they had to sadly give up the new home they had worked so hard to build and move back to the Central Plains to settle.  The Han people left, but the settlements built by the Han people at that time remained. The Huns, who were accustomed to living by water and grass, did not want earthen forts to tie their wandering footsteps. Under the erosion of time and desert wind and sand, the Han settlements were left unmaintained.  Gradually it became a desolate ruins.  The location of Thunder Cavalry is a large abandoned earth castle group. Judging from the scale, it was originally at the township level.  A lot of the outer walls of the earth fort group have collapsed, and the Thunder Cavalry can easily enter the town from multiple entrances - in other words, it is also very convenient for the Huns to break in; most of the earth forts in the town are in dilapidated condition.  At least half of the houses have no roofs, and there are ruins everywhere. There are still some trees magically growing in the town.  Outside the earth fort group, there is a small lake and a medium-sized forest. The forest may have been planted by the ancestors back then. The small lake has not only existed for many years. Perhaps it is precisely because of its existence that the ancestors planted it.  Will choose to establish a stronghold here.  This group of earthen forts became a temporary resting place for the Thunder Riders. Once the horses and soldiers recovered some strength, it was time to break through the siege and hit the road again.  This may also become the place for a decisive battle at any time. Hiding here, the complex terrain will cause a lot of trouble for the Huns chasing in. Li Jin does not believe that the cavalry can maintain a high degree of maneuverability under such terrain conditions.  Thunder Cavalry can¡¯t do it, and neither can the Huns!  The abandoned earth fort group covers a large area, and it is easy to hide more than 300 thunder soldiers. Li Jin ordered the war horses and seriously injured soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness to be hidden in the central area of ??the earth fort group. There are also more than 200 people with the strength of a battle.  A team of ten soldiers were scattered and hidden in the buildings in the middle of the earth fort group. They took the time to rest while preparing for street fighting.  Seeing that the Han cavalry was finally unable to escape, the Huns were greatly boosted in morale and quickly surrounded the earth forts!  Out of caution, after the first group of Huns completed the siege on the outside of the earth fort group, they did not immediately ride in. The leading Huns general immediately sent someone to report the news to the subsequent large groups of people.  Time passed by, and more and more Huns rushed outside the fort. An hour later, King Youxian went to Beiye and led his troops to the scene.  Qubei thought for a while and then made a decision. Hundreds of Huns cavalry dismounted and walked into the earth fortress group with sabers in hand, launching a tentative attack.  The street fighting begins!  Under the leadership of Li Jin, Di Yun and others, the Thunder soldiers launched a life-and-death battle with the Huns who broke into the fort.  There is no room for reconciliation with the Thunder Cavalry, only a last-ditch fight.  The Huns' combat power is obviously better than that of the Thunder Cavalry. When protected by the iron wall armor, the Thunder Cavalry could barely compete with the Huns' cavalry. Now that the life-saving armor has long been thrown into the river, the Thunder Cavalry suddenly lost their temper in the hand-to-hand combat with the Huns.  At a disadvantage.  Fortunately, the Thunder Cavalry in a group of ten cooperated with each other in an orderly manner, and were located on the Thunder Cavalry's side. They made full use of the terrain to carry out battles, and often formed a numerical advantage in local areas. The Huns continued to be defeated by them.  Siege to death.  The ten-man team led by Li Jin and Di Yun were very active on the battlefield. They would show up wherever the city was most in need. Corpses were everywhere wherever they went. At least half of the Huns who died in the fort were the same as those who died in the fort.  They have a direct or indirect relationship!  Qubei organized several waves of attacks, but they were all repelled by the united Thunder Cavalry.  As night fell, the Huns finally stopped their attack and rested outside the fort, waiting for the next dawn.  Li Jin called Di Yun and said in a deep voice: "You go and choose twenty brothers, have a good rest, bring enough dry food and water, one person and two horses, break out in time, I will find a way to attract the enemy's attention." Di  Yun Yi was stunned, but he quickly reacted and refused angrily: "No! Even if I die, I will die here with my eldest brother and these brothers. I won't go anywhere! Don't even think about it" Before he finished speaking, Di  Yun has been kicked to the ground by Li Jin.  Question: Visit:
