Chapter 274: Recovering the Blackwater Camp

Meng Tian led a large army from Rock City and prepared to attack the Blackwater Camp. Because it was to catch the Huns by surprise, the speed of the team was not fast.

However, just after Meng Tian's team had seen the Huns' banner hanging high in the Heishui camp in the distance, the scout in front returned, followed by a cavalry soldier wearing Qin army clothes, and the two of them came to Meng Tian's horse together, and then knelt on the ground together.

"General Qiyu, this is the brother sent by the deputy commander of Heishui City to pass on the military information, saying that he has something important to report to the general. The scout said.

Blackwater City came to report on the military situation so early, what was going on? Didn't you say that when you saw the Blackwater Camp on fire, Blackwater City would send troops out to attack the Blackwater Camp together?

The soldier who came to report the military situation said quickly: "General, Deputy Commander Meng sent me to let the villain tell the general that this attack on the Blackwater Camp Blackwater City cannot come." ”

"What's going on?" Meng Tian asked, sensing that something was wrong, riding on his horse.

The soldier continued: "Deputy Commander Meng said that almost the entire Huns in the Heishui camp went out to attack the Heishui camp, and the defense in the Heishui camp must be empty. Deputy Commander Meng asked the general to quickly capture the Blackwater Battalion, and then go to relieve the siege of Blackwater City. ”

Did the Huns from the Heishui Battalion attack Heishui City? The scouts sent by Meng Tian to the Heishui Battalion to investigate the situation had not yet returned, and Meng Tian was suspicious of this soldier who had come to deliver the letter.

Within half an hour, the scouts who went to spy on the situation of the Heishui camp came back, and the situation of the Heishui camp was indeed as the soldier who came to report the news said, the Heishui camp was indeed about to become an empty camp, and the Huns were almost all dispatched to attack the Heishui camp, and now there were only less than 2,000 Huns left in the camp, the old, weak, sick and disabled.

After getting the exact news, Meng Tian said to Xue Bin beside him: "Go, pass the order, all the men and horses will move forward at full speed, and strive to take the Blackwater Camp for me in a quarter of an hour, and then the Hornet will lead the infantry to be stationed in the Blackwater Camp, and all the cavalry will follow me to Blackwater City." ”

"The last will obey. ”

The 2,000 people left in the Heishui camp by Tarim Sangkun were not the men of his Kazakun tribe, but some of the people sent by the four tribes to make up the number, some of whom were not even warriors, they were just decorations. Seeing these people, Sang Kun's heart increased with hatred, but he still pretended to be happy to accept this group of people. This time, he took everyone away to attack Blackwater City, and he knew that the Qin army that got the news would definitely come to attack the Blackwater camp, so he left the two thousand people who were waiting to die here to guard the camp, so that even if the other four leaders got the news, he couldn't be blamed.

The speed of attacking the Heishui camp was beyond Meng Tian's expectations, originally he thought that it would take a little effort to destroy the two thousand Huns, but it turned out that it only took a little effort, it was really just a little.

When the cavalry of the Mengjia army appeared in the field of vision of the Huns guarding the wooden wall of the Heishui camp, these Huns, who were not suitable for fighting at all in the rear, began to panic. The Huns rarely had such positional battles on the grassland, they usually held knives and came to attack the enemy to fight a decisive battle, now although they have a wooden wall to defend against the enemy's cavalry charge, but their fighting ideas are still the same as when they were on the grassland, which is why they were quickly wiped out by the cavalry of the Mengjia army.

Knowing that the cavalry of the Qin army was killed, the commander of the Huns who was in charge of staying in the barracks was already afraid, he was originally sent by the big tribal leader to monitor the big leader of the Kazakun tribe, and now he wants to fight against countless Qin troops, how can he have this ability. So he sent people to the front to attack below the Qin army, and then he took his cronies and escaped from the Heishui camp from the other direction on horseback.

Before they could react, the cavalry of the Mengjia army rode to the barracks on horseback, just a charge, and the Huns in the barracks died and fled, even those who were injured and did not die were killed one by one by the foot soldiers who arrived behind, and then the corpses were dragged outside the camp to be buried on the spot.

There were 50,000 Qin troops in Heishui City, and Meng Tian was not worried at all that he could defeat them with 70,000 or 80,000 Huns. However, even if they can't defeat it, it will still cause casualties to the Qin army in Blackwater City. So after dealing with the Huns in the Heishui camp, Meng Tian didn't care about the Huns who fled, he directly rushed out of the east gate of the barracks with a large group of cavalry, and killed them towards Heishui City. Trina

There are about 20,000 Huns attacking the city at each of the four gates outside Heishui City, except for the attack of the north gate and the east gate is relatively relaxed, the Huns at the west gate and the south gate are the most tense in attacking the city. Because the north gate and the east gate are Tarim Sangkun's own people attacking the city, he doesn't want to waste his strength on this city, he wants to plan for his future throne, so after explaining the north gate and the east gate of his own two captains, he sat at the west gate and watched the men and horses sent by the four tribes attack the city.

In this way, it can also pretend to make the four of them think that they value the people they handed over to their own hands, and they also leave an interface for themselves to preserve their strength. Sang Kun said that he was the big leader of a tribe, but he was also cunning and tight.

There were also people left behind by Sang Kun in the Heishui camp, and after getting the news that the Qin army was attacking the Heishui camp, before the Qin army arrived, Sang Kun's people had already escaped on horseback and rushed back to report the news.

After getting the news, Sang Kun rode on his horse and said to his military advisor: "It seems that the Heishui Battalion has returned to the hands of the Qin army, when do you think we will retreat?"

In the early years of Sang Kun's military division, when the Qin State attacked the Six Kingdoms, a young general of the Zhao State defected to the Huns in order to flee for his life. There, he relied on some of the art of war and the craft of forging weapons he learned, and gradually became the most trusted military advisor of the great leader of the Kazakun tribe from a slave in the Kazakun tribe, and he also gave himself a Xiongnu name, called Banaru.

The military advisor Banaru has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, and when he heard Sang Kun asking him, he opened his mouth and said: "Great leader, in my opinion, the casualties of the men and horses attacking the city are now close to five thousand, and this is still from the West Gate, plus the South Gate and our people, it is estimated that the number of people is almost 10,000, but it cannot be retreated yet." ”

"Oh?" Hearing that his trusted military advisor didn't plan to retreat yet, Sang Kun asked strangely: "Then when can we retreat, I'm afraid that if we continue to fight, we will lose too many manpower." ”

Banaru shook his head, and he said to his master: "Don't worry, chief, we must retreat, but we must grasp the timing before retreating." Otherwise, do you think there are no spies among these people from the other four tribal leaders?"

Sang Kun also understood, but at this time, he was more worried that if he continued to fight, he would lose his own people, which would be a bit more than worth the loss.

"Report, Great Chief, we have found traces of the cavalry of the Qin army who came to support. "The spies who had been on the way from the Blackwater Camp to Blackwater City to inquire about the news rode back on horseback to report to Sang Kun.

Sangkun looked at Banaru, who nodded to him.

Sang Kun said to the guards beside him: "Go to the four city gates and give orders to all the people to retreat, but don't withdraw to the Blackwater Battalion, let their captains lead them to retreat to the grassland." ”

Meng Li and Huang Leopard, who were supervising the battle in the city gate tower, were discussing how to fight back against the Huns attacking the city outside the city, when suddenly a soldier came in and reported that the Huns outside the city had withdrawn. The two of them hurriedly went out of the city gate tower and arrived at the edge of the city wall, and sure enough, the Huns who were attacking the city had begun to retreat.

After a while, the other three city gates also came to report, saying that the Huns had retreated, and by the way, they asked if they wanted to go out of the city to pursue. Meng Li looked at the retreating Huns, their formation was quite complete, and it seemed that they were also guarding against the pursuit of the Qin army. So Meng Li ordered that there was no need to go out of the city to pursue, and their task was to defend the city.

As soon as the Huns withdrew, Meng Tian led the cavalry of the Mengjia Army to the gate of Heishui City, looking at the corpses of the Huns all over the ground, Meng Tian knew that he was late, and he originally wanted to have a real cavalry battle with the Huns.

"Alas, it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer. Xue Bin, who was following Meng Tian, heard such a strange sentence from the general's mouth.
