Chapter 341: Attacking the Xiongnu in the North
Liu Bangxiao and others finally arrived in Xianyang.
When Fusu heard the news, he personally recruited them into the Qilin Palace.
These people were all recommended by Wang Yin, and Han Xin and Zhang Liang, who were recommended by Wang Yin before, had already brought immeasurable benefits to the Qin State.
Therefore, Fusu also has great hopes for these people.
The first time I went to the palace, I also saw the emperor directly, and several people couldn't help but be afraid, but Fusu was very polite to them.
casually asked about some basic information such as family background, Fusu said: "You are all great talents recommended by the Holy Master, I hope you will treat Daqin as your home, and Daqin will definitely not treat you badly." ”
"Declare the decree!" Fusu instructed the eunuch.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says......" The eunuch began to read out the edict that had been prepared a long time ago.
Xiao He was put into the post of special manager of the law, Cao Shen assisted in the management of the internal affairs of Xianyang City, Xiahou Ying became the chauffeur of Fusu and the head of the imperial horse supervisor, Zhou Yafu went to the northern city mayor to assist Meng Tian in fighting against the Xiongnu, Fan Xu was put into the Praetorian Guard, as for Liu Bang, he was exonerated and made him the head of the royal hotel.
Among these people, except for Liu Bang, Wang Yin gave specific occupations that could be engaged, but Liu Bang did not have a specific occupation, and only asked for his crime to be exempted and give him wealth.
Fusu couldn't understand the reason, and he was embarrassed to ask Wang Yin everything.
So after thinking about it, he thought that Wang Yin might not want Liu Bang to be an official, but Liu Bang was useful to Daqin, so he gave him a stable and wealthy career.
Liu Bang can now eat and drink for nothing in the open, and he doesn't have to do any work.
"Thank you, Lord Longen!" Everyone who was named an official was overjoyed, only Liu Bang felt a little weird, but he also knew that it was a beautiful difference, so he did it first anyway.
Of course, they are actually more grateful to Wang Yin, without Wang Yin discovering them, they would not have such an opportunity. In addition to Liu Bang, Cao Shen and the others all heard in their ears what Xiao He had said to them, "The Holy Master wants the world!"
If Wang Yin looks at their intimacy now, he will find that they have reached the level of friendliness.
——
North, the border of the Great Wall.
The head of the Huns, Mandan, led 200,000 Xiongnu elites south.
And Donghu also colluded with him, integrating 200,000 soldiers and horses to the south at the same time.
400,000 military horses, as well as countless logistics troops, marched towards the Great Wall.
The Great Wall in the north has always been a heavily defended place for Great Qin, and 300,000 Great Qin elites led by Meng Tian, the most trusted emperor of Great Qin, were stationed here to defend it.
At this time, in the tent of the Great Qin army on the Great Wall, Meng Tian was listening to the report of his subordinates.
“...... The Xiongnu and Donghu colluded to march south, each with an army of 200,000, and it is said that they also brought in the most powerful shamans of the steppe, who were able to drive something called a spirit, which could make animals available to them.
Among the troops heading south this time, there were wolf cavalry with animals as the main body of combat.
And I heard that those shamans worship heaven and earth, and believe that all living beings have spirits, and they have many other magical spells!"
"It's okay, let's guard it tightly, don't attack, just wait!" Meng Tian issued an order.
"Wait?" the soldiers sitting down didn't understand what the boss meant.
Meng Tian smiled slightly, but did not answer, this kind of military secret, of course, the less people know about it, the better.
Sure enough, when he returned to his quarters, there was already a teenager sitting inside.
Meng Tian knew that the person he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
"Meng Tian greets the Great Qin Holy Master!" Meng Tian hurriedly saluted.
Of course, this young man is Wang Yin.
At the same time that Han Xin and Zhang Liang set out on the expedition, Wang Yin had already arrived at the Great Wall.
"No need to be polite!" Although Wang Yin is also an equal in the face of Fusu, the emperor of Great Qin, he does not have the slightest arrogance towards Meng Tian, which is his own characteristic on the one hand, and because Meng Tian is willing to live in this bitter cold place to fight against foreign aggression, it is a move for the country and the people, and he should respect it.
"The Holy Master has already thought of a way to crack the Huns, and Meng Tian has also thanked him!" After all, Meng Tian has been mixed in the court and the army for many years, and he can be described as an old treacherous and cunning, knowing that Wang Yin is Qin's biggest reliance on defeating the Huns.
Wang Yin smiled and said, "The Xiongnu are the biggest scourge of Great Qin, since they are here this time, I don't think there is any need to let them go back, and there will be no future troubles forever!"
Historically, the Xiongnu have always been the biggest threat to the Central Plains from the north, and it has cost a lot of manpower and material resources in the Central Plains, so Wang Yin came here to uproot the Xiongnu and let them stop at least in the past hundred years.
"I bring a few things for the general, hoping to annihilate the Xiongnu and Donghu in one fell swoop!"
Another reason why Wang Yin had to annihilate the Xiongnu and Donghu was because he suspected that there might be the will of the world behind the Xiongnu and Donghu.
In particular, the shamans of the two tribes of Donghu and Xiongnu sent troops this time, and both said to their rulers that the will of heaven must destroy Great Qin, and asked them to immediately send troops south to attack the Great Wall.
And unlike the southern government Baiyue and the restoration of the Central Plains, in those two places, he wanted to leave Han Xin and Zhang Liang a stage, so he didn't make a move, and only gave some auxiliary props.
But in the north, he doesn't have any characters who need to be pushed to the foreground, so he has no scruples and just fights to the death.
What's more, as a member of the Great Celestial Empire, he has read the history of the Great Celestial Empire, and he has long been displeasing to the foreign disasters that have been harassing China in history, and he just took the opportunity to kill them.
After seeing what Wang Yin gave him, Meng Tian was stupid on the spot.
He had already started a silent mourning for the Xiongnu and Donghu in advance.
——
In the big tent of Tou Mandanyu, Tou Mandanyu and the envoys of Donghu drank happily.
The two sides have unified the time, attacking different passes of the Great Wall at the same time, stretching the battle line.
Although there were 300,000 Qin troops guarding the Great Wall, the total number of people was not as large as that of Donghu and Xiongnu, and attacking at the same time in multiple places could make it difficult for Meng Tian to take care of both.
"This is a godsend, I heard that there are old nobles of Qi and Wei in Qin, and Baiyue in the south has launched an attack on them, Qin cannot take care of the whole thing, it is the best opportunity for us to attack!" said the Donghu envoy.
Since the shamans of our two clans have said that the will of the heavens is to destroy the Great Qin, then we have been approved by the heavens this time, and we will be able to succeed immediately. Tou Manshan Yu was very happy.
"After we entered the Central Plains, we divided the world equally. I heard that the oil in the Central Plains is rich and there is gold everywhere, we can enjoy it!Wowhahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!" There were still many high-ranking Xiongnu generals sitting in Touman Danyu's tent, and they were all laughing heartily at this time, as if Daqin had been taken down by them.
There was also a young man sitting in the tent of Toumandanyu, who was Touman's eldest son, Maoton.
At this time, instead of laughing and getting carried away like the other generals, he frowned.
You must know that Great Qin was not the Zhao State of the past, and the strength of the Zhao State was far less powerful than today's Great Qin, but they also defended the Great Wall and did not give the Xiongnu a chance to break through to the Central Plains, especially their famous general Li Mu, who made the Xiongnu suffer a lot. At this time, the Qin State had unified the Central Plains, and its strength far exceeded that of the Zhao State, and Meng Tian was a famous general who was not inferior to Li Mu, so it was very unwise to attack the Qin State at this time. But since it was said by the shaman, it seems that there is no way to change it. ”
"Why, General Maudun looks very worried!" Suddenly, the envoy from Donghu noticed the frowning Maudun and asked. Latest
"Could it be that General Mao Dun thinks that the 200,000 army of the Xiongnu cannot defeat the Qin State?"
These people were all subordinates of Touman Danyu, and it stands to reason that they should have great respect for Mao Dun, because Mao Dun was the heir of the future Xiongnu.
But now they are uncharacteristically ridiculed by Maudun, because they have all seen that Toumanshan does not like Maudun, but likes other sons, and is likely to abolish Maudun.
Sure enough, hearing this, Tou Manshan Yu's face became very unsightly, and when everyone thought that they would win and toast to victory, this Mao Dun had a sad face, and he was obviously not optimistic about this war.
"Do you think we can't defeat Meng Tian?" asked Tou Mandan with a calm face.
"Father Wansheng, Qin Guo must not be an opponent!" Mao Dun was not a fool, and immediately began to pat the horse.
Hearing this, Tou Man Shan Yu's face looked a little better, but he still asked, "Then what are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that Qin Rengou will jump off the wall in a hurry, and he may fight hard, and we may have some losses!"
"Hahaha, I think the prince is not worried about the soldiers, but about his own safety!" the Donghu envoy mocked.
"Dead a few soldiers are nothing, something that has no interest!" Touman also thought that Mao Dun was worried about his own life and death, and couldn't help but look down on Mao Dun from the bottom of his heart.
After the feast, Maudun returned to his tent, and thought for a long time, but did not fall asleep.
"I was almost framed this time, these people want to get rid of me more and more urgently, if this continues, one day they will be in their way! We must think of a new way!"
——
Woooooo
Early the next morning.
The Xiongnu and Donghu launched a general attack directly on the Great Wall of Great Qin.
Huge siege engines and huge turrets were pushed by the coolies to approach the Great Wall.
The main body of the siege vehicle was a large tree trunk with steel inlaid on its head, which was used to strike the city gates.
The arrow tower is a thirty-meter-high wooden shelf, with carts below and archers on top.
Archers can condescendingly send bows and arrows at the Qin soldiers on the city walls.
Behind them, the cavalry of the Huns.
The Huns' cavalry was their pride, very well equipped, armed from head to toe, and the horses were also exceptionally superb.
And next to every ten horses, there is also a wolf cavalry.
This wolf cavalry is a cavalry with wolves as mounts, wolves are controlled by shamans with witchcraft, not only will not eat knights, but will also take the initiative to cooperate with knights to attack the enemy.
After them, there were the Huns' infantry and shamans, as well as the masters of the eight realms and above.
The people and horses all over the mountains came like a tide, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, they were getting closer and closer, but on the Great Wall of Daqin, there was no movement, as if all the soldiers and generals were asleep.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters.
Suddenly, the Great Wall resounded with the sound of war drums.
The banners of the Great Qin people began to sway in the rumbling drums, and countless Great Qin soldiers appeared above the city, and it was too late to react now, Tou Man sneered.
Mao Dun beside him, but it felt a little wrong.
The Qin soldiers led by Meng Tian were very experienced in fighting against the Xiongnu, and it was absolutely impossible for the Xiongnu to attack so close without noticing.
"It's weird!" said Maudun to himself.
"What's weird, I think General Mao Dun is afraid of Daqin!"
"Yes, how can such a general inherit the position of Toumandanyu?"
Some people began to sneer, these people are all paid to do things.
Because Tou Manshan married later, the Yan family wanted his son to be the crown prince of the Xiongnu, because he bought some people to keep saying bad things about Maodun.
Touman snorted coldly at their words, but their words were already imprinted in his mind, and he was becoming more and more disappointed with Maudun.
As they spoke, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
Behind the Great Wall, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out like a dark cloud, which shot diagonally upward, and then fell in a parabolic trajectory to the Xiongnu army array.
This is Daqin's usual move, a parabolic arrow array.
Tou Man sneered: "Meng Tian is really going back more and more, and he also uses this method to deal with the powerful cavalry of the Huns!"
The Huns' cavalry began to rush forward, trying to get out of the place where the arrows fell, while the infantry in the rear raised their shields.
Most of the cavalry were lucky enough to dodge the arrows, while the infantry in the rear lined up with the flying arrows.
It was common knowledge that the shield could dodge the arrows, but what they didn't expect was that the arrows seemed to be a little different, as soon as they touched their shields, they immediately exploded violently, and with the explosion were countless sharp pieces of iron and quicklime scattered in all directions.
Under the impact of the explosion, the iron pieces were full of strength, stabbing the Hun infantry to death, and the quicklime brought great damage to their wounds and eyes, because the quicklime will produce a chemical reaction when it encounters water to become mature lime, which will produce huge heat in the process.
For a while, only a few thousand of the 60,000 Huns' infantry were shot directly, but at least half were wounded on pieces of iron and lime.
"Carving insect skills!" Tou Manshan didn't care.
At this time, as many as 100,000 cavalry had approached the walls of the Great Wall, and as long as they reached the bottom of the walls and climbed the walls with flying cables, they could open the city gates and drive straight in.
Tou Manshan Yu even saw the appearance of the Great Wall gate being breached, "hehehe", he laughed unconsciously.
Suddenly, a large group of Qin soldiers appeared on the Great Wall, and they worked in pairs, carrying a huge bucket as thick as half a meter on the head of the Great Wall, aiming at the Hun cavalry that was coming rapidly.
"Ignite, fire!" each group has a commander from the upper building.
After the huge cylindrical object was ignited, dozens of sharp arrows flew out of it in a row, and these sharp arrows were tied to the body of the jet gunpowder, and the speed was very fast, instantly enveloping all the cavalry.
Since they were fired at the cavalry in parallel, the cavalry simply had no way to dodge and watched as hundreds of arrows were fired at themselves.
In this round of volleys, the Qin army used at least 20,000 of these cylinders, each of which could fire 120 arrows, a total of 2.4 million arrows covering the entire battlefield.
The 60,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu were covered indiscriminately, and each of them was given at least forty arrows.
In addition to the martial artists above the four realms, the martial artists below the four realms include those below the four realms, and basically everyone is hit by an arrow.
Touman counted casually, at least 20,000 cavalry were killed directly, 20,000 cavalry lost their mounts in an instant, 10,000 cavalry could no longer fight, and only about 1,000 cavalry were lucky enough to escape.
The cavalry of the Xiongnu Megatron Grassland was almost wiped out in a volley, and Touman couldn't get up in one breath, and directly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
