Meng Tian took two of his own soldiers to inspect the city wall for a while, but before Meng Li could return with his men and horses, he returned to his tent.

It was dark, and it was time to eat in the barracks, but Meng Li had not yet returned to the barracks. Meng Tian, who got the news, felt that something was not good, Meng Li took people out for a day, and there was not even a person who came back to deliver the letter, which was not in line with Meng Li's consistent style of doing things.

The more Meng Tian thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, he put on his armor, and the blood stains on the armor had been scrubbed clean in the afternoon. While buttoning the mechanism at the junction of his arms and legs on his armor, he walked to the door of the tent and said to the two little guys who were still guarding the door: "Go, tell Xue Bin to let him bring another team of men and horses and follow me out of the city to find the deputy commander." Also, notify Deputy Commander Du and let him be ready to answer at any time. ”

"Yes. "The two young soldiers received an order from the general, one to find Du Hui, and the other to inform Xue Bin.

After a while, the figures of Du Hui and Xue Bin both appeared in Meng Tian's field of vision, both of them wearing armor, followed by the two young soldiers behind them.

"General. Du Hui and Xue Bin arrived in front of Meng Tian, clenched their fists and bent down and said.

Meng Tian nodded with a heavy face, and then said: "Brother Meng went out with people for a day, and he hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid that they are in danger, so I want to take Xue Bin out to find them." Brother Du, the affairs in the barracks will be handed over to you, if we encounter any danger outside, you are responsible for sending troops to meet us at any time. ”

After listening to Meng Tian's arrangement, Du Hui said: "General, you have been fighting all night last night, let the last general take someone to find Deputy Commander Meng tonight." ”

Xue Bin also followed Du Hui's words and said: "Yes, General, you can deploy people and horses in the military camp today, and leave the matter of finding Deputy Commander Meng to me and Deputy Commander Du." ”

Meng Tian raised his hand to stop the two of them from speaking, and then resolutely said: "Okay, you and Brother Meng are both part of the Meng family's army, and they are both indispensable parts, no matter who is in danger outside today, I will personally go to find you." Brother Du, you are steady, and I am very relieved that you are in the military camp. And you Xue Bin, I trust the cavalry under you, so I will arrange it like this. Okay, let's leave later, Brother Meng and they will be a little more dangerous outside, so do as I say, gather people, and prepare to go. ”

Du Hui and Xue Bin glanced at each other, and had to say helplessly: "The last general obeys the order." ”

It was not yesterday's cavalry team that followed Meng Tian out of the city tonight, but another group of men and horses, which was the most suitable light cavalry for short-term raids among the cavalry of the Mengjia army, and each of them carried the most arrows on their bodies and horses, because this was a cavalry that mainly focused on raiding and supporting.

Meng Tian rode his war horse to the gate of the barracks, nodded heavily to Du Hui who came to see them off, and then shouted "drive" in his mouth, the war horse under the crotch had already cultivated enough strength after a day's rest, and after getting the master's order, he rushed out of the open city gate like an arrow from the string, followed by Meng Tian was two thousand brave knights, with a rush of dust in the dark night, followed by their general rushed out of the city.

The area that Meng Li led his people to inspect during the day today was Yancheng, a border city of Qin State where Meng Tian's garrison was located, and Heishui City, a border city called Heishui City, which used to be Wei State, a wide area of more than 300 miles between the two cities. On a piece of land, there was only one Qin army camp, but this Qin army camp was stationed with less than 3,000 people. 3,000 men is dispensable for this border, and if there is an enemy situation, they can only burn wolf smoke to warn the two wings of Iwaki and Blackwater.

But today, neither city found the wolf smoke warning here, which was also what Meng Tian found strange. Since there was no hostility, what did they delay returning to the city for?

With doubts, Meng Tian and Xue Bin had already advanced dozens of miles after leaving Rock City, and the firelight of the Rock City Wall behind them was no longer visible at all, and there were only the torches raised in the hands of these people within the visible range, and nothing else could be seen.

"Have you let the horse out?" asked Meng Tian as he rode on his horse and asked Xue Bin beside him. On the march in such dark conditions, their intelligence could only rely on probing horses to find the way to the front.

Xue Bin snorted, and he said, "Before we left the city, I had already sent a scout horse to set off first, but no one has come back to report yet." "Standby station

Meng Tian's worry in his heart was more than a layer, he said: "The Huns we are going to deal with this time are not like soldiers who are fighting with the six countries of the Central Plains, the Huns have lived on the grassland since they were children, each of them is a good hunter, and even some people especially like to hunt their prey in the dark, so this time we are fighting against the Huns, we can't underestimate their combat effectiveness because they don't have armor on them." Tell everyone to be careful about their surroundings and report anything that happens. ”

"Yes, General. Xue Bin conveyed Meng Tian's instructions, and then he returned to Meng Tian's side.

Seeing Xue Bin come back, Meng Tian asked, "Why, it's over so soon?"

Xue Bin nodded, in his heart Meng Tian was like a god of war, if nothing else, just say that the more than 1,000 Hun soldiers who died at Meng Tian's hands last night were enough to show how powerful Meng Tian was. Even when Xue Bin told his subordinates about this incident in the barracks during the day today, almost all of them chose to believe it, not only because they witnessed this miracle with half of their colleagues last night, but also because they were willing to believe in their great general and the invincible god of war in their hearts.

"General, don't worry, no matter how powerful the Huns are, they will not be the opponent of our Mengjia army. As long as they dare to come, my brothers and I will beat them to cry and cry for their mother. Xue Bin was very relieved about his subordinates, because not only the subordinates he taught, but even the entire Mengjia army rarely lost battles.

Meng Tian listened to Xue Bin's words, and he just said softly: "I hope so, but I also want to know who has higher combat power compared to our Great Qin cavalry and the Hun cavalry, I just hope that they will not be like the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, without the strength to fight." ”

The party of 2,000 men continued in the darkness of the night at a pace that was neither very fast nor very slow, so that the scouts who had gone to investigate the situation could find them.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in front of the procession. When Meng Tian heard this, he raised his hand to signal the team to stop advancing and prepare for battle.

A horse drove towards Meng Tian and the others on its owner, and the knight on the horse was wearing the same clothes worn by the soldiers in charge of intelligence reconnaissance in the Meng family's army.

After seeing that there was his team on the other side, the scout who had returned from the reconnaissance got off his horse, walked quickly to Meng Tian's horse, and then knelt on one knee. "Hou Liang of the reconnaissance battalion paid a visit to the general. ”

Meng Tian saw that it was his soldiers, and hurriedly said: "Stand up and reply, what is the situation ahead?

Hou Liang got up from the ground and said to Meng Tian: "General Hui, we have found the men and horses of the deputy commander of Meng, but they are fighting against the Huns, and they are in the camp of our army in front. ”

"How many Xiongnu are there, and how is the war going now?"

Hou Liang continued: "There are about 12,000 Xiongnu, and now they have surrounded the camp and are attacking our army's camp with all their might. By the time we got there, the Mongol lieutenants had just returned from the Huns. Later, reinforcements from the Huns arrived and surrounded the entire camp. The deputy commander of Mongolia was resisting the attack of the Huns with all his might. ”

In this way, Meng Li and the 2,000 soldiers he brought with him have been fighting with the Huns several times their size for several hours, and the situation is a little bad.

Meng Tian immediately said, "Hou Liang, order you to lead the way in front." Xue Bin, tell the soldiers to move forward at full speed and support Deputy Commander Meng. In addition, he sent someone back to report to Deputy Commander Du and asked him to lead troops to support. ”

"Obey!" Xue Bin and Hou Liang said at the same time.

Hou Liang immediately turned on his horse, turned his horse's head, and galloped away with Meng Tian and the soldiers of the Mengjia army in the direction of the Qin army's military camp between the two cities.
