Chapter 272: Touman's Death
"It's finally out. Looking ahead, the green grassland that appeared in the field of vision, Ye Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief, this time it was wasted more than a month.
Fortunately, Loulan is not too far away from the Yinshan grassland, if the distance is a little farther, Ye Wuji and the others are not afraid, and the people of Loulan will be in trouble, even so, when they go to the Yinshan grassland, the people of Loulan have lost nearly 30,000 people.
As soon as there are many people, all kinds of wild beasts in the desert have emerged, especially the dry fish, this creature is impossible to defend against at all, although the single threat is limited, but once the crowd gathers, the threat increases greatly.
The Loulan people only had a temple guard of less than 2,000 people, and when Ye Wuji and others invaded, they were killed by about 500 people, and the remaining more than 1,000 temple guards, plus nearly 500 Bai Ma Yicong, had no way to protect all the people of Loulan.
In addition to the fact that the Loulan people walked out of the Loulan space for the first time, and in the hot desert, many people were sick because of the water and soil adaptation, and what made Ye Wuji the most speechless was that the huge Loulan doctor was less than two digits, and he still belonged to the lowest level of doctors, perhaps because of the reason for living in the space created by the Nine Heavens Xuannu for a long time, the Loulan people rarely got sick, and all doctors were the most unpromising profession in Loulan.
If it weren't for Chi Lian and Gao Yue's sleepless help to treat the Loulan people, the number of Loulan people lost would have at least doubled.
Although Chi Lian is poisonous, his medical skills are not very bad, and he may not be as good as the medical immortal Duanmu Rong, but judging from the performance during this time, he is much stronger than Gao Yue.
In addition, Flame Spirit Ji also helped a little with Bai Yue's Gu technique, and finally managed to get out of the desert.
"I'll leave it to you. After arriving at the Yinshan Grassland, Ye Wuji immediately handed over the Loulan people to Meng Nan, who had been waiting here for a while, and the Golden Fire Cavalry behind him.
In front of the night, Wuji had already asked people to drive the Vermilion Bird and informed Meng Tian of the situation, so that Meng Tian was ready to respond, otherwise in the current state of the Loulan people, there would be no way to survive on the Yinshan grassland.
In addition, because of the invasion of the Huns, Jiuyuan County and Yunzhong County lost a large number of people, although after recovering these two counties, some of the people who fled have returned one after another, but it is impossible to recover the previous population without waiting for some years.
The hundreds of thousands of people in Loulan can just replenish the population of these two counties.
Because of the destruction of Wolf Juxu Mountain, coupled with the defeat of Touman, at this time the Yinshan grassland was leaderless, and the war continued, not only the empire was encircling and suppressing the Xiongnu tribe, but the Xiongnu tribes were also fighting with each other.
Coupled with Ye Wuji's suggestion to use the Huns to deal with the Huns, after Meng Tian revealed such a thought, many small Xiongnu tribes immediately leaned in.
Among them, there were even some leaders of small tribes, who directly found intermediaries, passed on messages to Meng Tian, and sold the people of their tribes to Meng Tian.
Then they took a large amount of money, went south to the Central Plains, and became rich people in the Central Plains, and went to enjoy life.
Although there are not many such Huns, but there are also a lot, compared to drinking blood in the Huns, why not enjoy it in the Central Plains, in the Huns have to always worry about other tribes, their own subordinates overthrow themselves, but in the Central Plains, as long as they do not violate the laws of the Central Plains, basically no one cares about them.
There are a lot of delicious delicacies in the Central Plains, there is a very comfortable silk to wear, and the beauties of the Central Plains are much more beautiful than the Hun beauties.
In order not to reveal their identities in the Central Plains, these people began to learn the Central Plains dialect very early and changed their names, and I have to say that these people are very smart.
In fact, the Central Plains special organization has prepared a legal identity for this kind of person, as long as you come up with enough money, you can become a Central Plains person who no one will suspect within a day, this is a very profitable business, not to mention this era, even in later generations, this kind of transaction is still very profitable.
"Touman, this time it's up to you to run there. "In the north of the Yinshan Grassland, a valley with mountains on three sides and only one entrance, Meng Tian personally led 50,000 golden fire cavalry, and Bai Qi, Li Mu and the three surrounded this valley, and only Tou Man was left in the valley looking at the Great Qin army outside with a pale face.
After receiving the news of the destruction of Wolf Juxu Mountain, Touman immediately vomited blood and fainted, although he was immediately rescued, but after a while, Touman seemed to be nearly ten years old, but Touman was Touman after all, and he could come up with someone who could establish the Xiongnu Empire, although such a blow was huge, it did not defeat Touman.
After that, Tou Man immediately retreated to the north with the remnants of the Huns, he knew very well that Meng Tian would let anyone go, and would never let him go, not only Meng Tian, but even the other tribes of the Huns might also fight his idea and use his head to appease the anger of the Great Qin Empire.
After all, the Great Qin Empire could not occupy the Yinshan Grassland, as long as it calmed down its anger, it would definitely retreat.
With the retreat of Touman, there are only a few thousand Macedonian phalanxes left in Creon, and it is by relying on the Macedonian phalanx that Touman has held on until now, but it can only end here.
Under the pursuit of the White Horse Yicong, Touman could only hide in this valley with the remnants of the army, but unfortunately, before Touman could come up with any way to break through, Meng Tian rushed over with the golden fire cavalry.
Touman is the Xiongnu's Shan Yu, according to the algorithm of the Central Plains is the king of the Xiongnu, if you can capture Touman alive, Meng Tian's credit this time will be great, although Meng Tian's position as a general will not be promoted, and it cannot be promoted again, but this credit has huge benefits for the stability of the status of the Meng family.
Before this, no one had ever captured Shan Yu of the Huns alive.
If it weren't for the capture of Touman alive and the reduction of the casualties of the Golden Fire Cavalry, Meng Tian would have been able to let people rush into the valley now, but then the casualties would be greater, and I have to say that the Macedonian phalanx has strengthened a lot in this terrain.
As long as he waits for a few days, the large-scale war weapons behind him will follow, and when the time comes, the Macedonian phalanx will not be in Meng Tian's eyes at all.
"You're going to do that. In the valley, in Touman's tent, the old shaman looked at Touman worriedly.
"Only this method can escape Meng Tian's pursuit, you can also see, my head is now worth 100,000 taels of gold on the grassland. Touman coughed as he spoke, and the continuous blows made Touman's body very weak.
"But it's a glacier, and many people won't get used to life there. The old shaman said worriedly.
"You don't want to use my head to curry favor with Meng Tian. Touman's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and he stared fiercely at the old shaman in front of him.
"You think too much, I'm just thinking about the clansmen, since you have decided, we must break through here as soon as possible, the longer the delay, the smaller the chance of breaking through. ”
"I knew that they would break through in the evening and that would come in handy. Although Touman didn't say who it was, the old shaman still knew that at this moment, in addition to the Huns, there was also an army here.
"My lord, what should I do now. In Creon's tent, Creon and his two henchmen were urgently discussing the current situation, and the situation of the Xiongnu took a turn for the worse, so that Creon didn't understand what was happening, originally in his calculations, even if the Xiongnu were not the opponents of the empire, the Xiongnu could drag the empire.
As soon as the Roman Empire army arrived, he should join forces inside and outside, take down the Huns, and use the Huns as a springboard to attack the Central Plains, but now the Roman army has not seen a shadow, and the Huns are almost finished.
For the sake of the Roman Empire, he can't bury Touman here, so thinking about it, Creon quickly decided, "You go and contact your subordinates immediately and wait for us." Creon whispered his plan.
"Creon, get ready to break out tonight and get your men ready. After Touman finished speaking to Creon, he immediately shifted his gaze to the alien woman beside Creon, Nomin, the descendant of the Moon Wolf.
"During the operation, you immediately ordered the wolves to storm Meng Tian's military camp. "There are all kinds of beasts on the grassland, among which wolves are the most numerous, and the descendants of the moon wolves are the race that can control wolves and are very good at using wolf poison, and this race is now a vassal slave race of Touman.
Of course, Touman didn't expect the wolves to be able to deal with Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry, he just hoped that the wolves would create some chaos and give him a chance to escape.
"My lord, I actually have a better way here. Just as Touman had finished ordering all the troops, Creon suddenly stepped forward and spoke proudly.
"What's the way?" Creon's attitude made Touman very dissatisfied, but at this time, Touman could only endure it, and he wanted to break through to rely on Creon's Macedonian phalanx.
"It's very simple, as long as the king appears in front of Meng Tian, the crisis here will naturally be resolved. ”
"What do you say, do you want to rebel. Touman shouted angrily and began to call for the guards, but no matter how Touman shouted, no one came to help Touman.
"Munata, do you want to rebel?" Touman stared fiercely at a big man standing opposite Creon, who was the commander of all the current Hun soldiers and the tenth guard beside Touman.
"As long as the king lives for one day, the empire will not give up revenge, who let the king break through the Central Plains, and kill there on a large scale, which annoyed the emperor of the Central Plains, all this is the fault of the king, for the survival of the whole clan, please also ask the king to cut himself off. Mu Nata, the big man, was a little embarrassed, but as he spoke, Mu Nata abandoned the guilt in his heart and scolded Touman with righteousness.
"You. Touman pointed to Munata with a tearful eyelidness, and he didn't expect him to say that.
"There is a king in one day, Meng Tian will not retreat, how many clansmen have died tragically because of the king, in order to end all this as soon as possible, if the king doesn't want to do it, I can do it for me. Munata looked at Creon and continued.
"You're colluding with each other. Touman looked at Creon and then at Munata, and suddenly understood.
"It's all the king's own fault, he only cared about his own life, abandoned those men, and now those who protected you are dead, and there is no one to protect you. Creon laughed.
Touman, as Shan Yu of the Huns, can do it for so many years, how can he not have henchmen, but it is a pity that these henchmen, just like Creon said, died under the iron hooves of Daqin, Munata as the tenth guard, can lead the current Hun soldiers, precisely because the people in front of them are all dead.
The reason why Munata has been able to live until now is because although he looks tall, he is very afraid of death, and has been following Touman to escape, and Munata will not be so easy to betray in this situation.
But under Creon's design, the wolf venom of Nuo Min in the body of Munata at this moment, coupled with Creon's promise, when Touman dies, he will become the person with the highest status of the Huns, and the next Shan Yu will be him.
With a big stick and sweet dates, Mu Nata immediately left behind the little loyalty to the head man, if he was really loyal, he wouldn't be able to live now, and he would have died in battle.
"When will the antidote be given to me. After killing Touman, Munata immediately asked Creon for the antidote, but unfortunately at this time Creon would be so easy to give him the antidote, and he also counted on the wolf venom to control the guy in front of him, control a future Shan Yu, no matter how much he thought about it, he would know how much help would be for the future Roman legions.
"You better put down the problem of the antidote first, and take your palms as soon as possible, otherwise your position will not be stable. After Creon left these words, he left with Nomin.
Although Munata was angry, he also understood that what Creon said was right, just as he killed Touman so quickly before because he was afraid that there would still be people in the clan who were heading towards Touman, although he also understood that it would be better to hand over the living Touman to Meng Tian, but just in case, he still killed Touman as soon as possible.
Poor Touman, when he was young, was also a well-known warrior among the Huns, and died at the hands of his men in such an unknown way.
When the power of the Huns in the valley was transferred, outside the valley, Meng Tian's military camp ushered in a person, Bai Feng, Ye Wuji After returning to the place where the Qin army was stationed, after hearing that Meng Tian's army surrounded Touman and the Macedonian phalanx, he immediately sent Bai Feng over, so as not to let Meng Tian pay attention and let go of Viscount Creon.
"What do you say, Roman Empire. Meng Tian, Li Mu looked at Bai Feng in shock, until Bai Qi was dressed in black armor, plus the face armor, no one could see clearly that a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the Luo Net Empire finally appeared.
"Yes, Your Highness wants to capture the viscount Creon alive as much as possible, and see what information he has conveyed to the Roman Empire, so that it can be dealt with as soon as possible. Bai Feng conveyed Ye Wuji's order.
"General, the Huns asked for negotiations before the battle. Just when Meng Tian and Li Mu were still shocking the Roman Empire, an adjutant general walked in and reported.
"Pre-battle negotiations, okay. Meng Tian immediately suppressed his curiosity about the Roman Empire and devoted himself to dealing with the Huns in front of him.
"What do you mean by that? "Meng Tian, Bai Qi, Li Mu, Bai Feng, and the four of them, escorted by a team of cavalry, came to the front of the valley, and the Huns were already waiting there, and on one side there were four people carrying a stretcher, on which was placed a corpse, the body of Touman.
"The general has been chasing after him, it should be just for him, I don't know if he can let us live now. Creon said apologetically on the other side.
"You are the leader of that alien race. A smile appeared on the corner of Meng Tian's mouth and he spoke.
"I'm afraid the general already knows where we came from, we strayed here because we got lost, and we've been looking for a way home, and we were forced to obey Touman's orders before, and I want the general here to promise that we will leave the grassland immediately and find a way home. Creon was silent for a moment, and continued, "If the general insists on making a move, in such a situation, we will definitely resist desperately, and even if the general destroys us completely, it will only increase his own casualties." ”
"I don't think so, Viscount Creon, the vanguard general of the Roman Empire. Meng Tian's words made Creon stunned for a moment, and then he knew that things were not good, but unfortunately it was too late at this time, and Bai Qi had already rushed to his side.
At this time, the Creon sword had just been drawn halfway, and it could no longer be drawn.
