On the night of the retreat of the Xiongnu, Meng Tian gathered the generals in the shogunate, and simply arranged the defense and the dispatch of the horses, leaving Xin Sheng's father and son to dismiss the generals.

The three of them were silent in the shogunate for a while, and only then did Meng Tian express his worries: "The Xiongnu soldiers are pressing, although our army has won three battles, but in terms of strength, our army is still at a disadvantage. Judging from all the enemy annihilation, most of the people killed were the newly incorporated Donghu soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu, and the real elite of the Xiongnu had not yet clashed with our army. Now there are less than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass, and it is impossible to defend it. ”

Xin Tong was about to make a generous statement, but was stopped by Xin Sheng. Xin Sheng is an old general after all, and he is getting older, so he said to Meng Tian: "Since the general already has a strategy to break the enemy, I will wait to fight for the general." ”

Grateful Meng Tian bowed down to Xin Sheng: "Thank you old general!" ”

Xin Sheng hurriedly helped Meng Tian up, and then Meng Tian said: "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!" ”

"The general will reach what he orders, even if it is extremely dangerous, my father and son will never retreat." Xin Sheng burst into tears.

Xin Tong saw that his father and Meng Tian were so polite and complimentary, but he didn't understand why.

At this time, Meng Tian said slowly: "In today's battle, I see that the young general is brave and fierce, which is better than when the old general Qiang Diao was young, and he can be a great task for the enemy. I want the major general to lead a top cavalry of one man and three horses with 30,000 soldiers and horses to raid the Xiongnu army, and the general Zhengxi will command the two generals Qiang Yi and Yang Hongxi and all the cavalry under their command to respond. Once the major general was surrounded by the Xiongnu army, he would save it, and if he could rush to defeat the Xiongnu, he would make a detour from the west and attack the Xiongnu rear array. ”

At this moment, Xin Tong, who is young and brave and proud of the world, also understands the politeness of Meng Tian and Xin Sheng just now, this battle plan is really dangerous.

However, it just aroused Xin Tong's incomparable confidence and desire to make contributions, and he immediately stood up and said: "The general trusts the general so much, he will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

Xin Sheng was originally mentally prepared, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous, but when the national disaster was at hand, he could only obey the general's order: "The last general will do his best to shed the last drop of blood for Daqin!" ”

Meng Tian was no longer polite, so he took out two maps, instructed Xin Tong's marching route and tactics, and also told Xin Sheng the location of Qiang Yi and Yang Hongxi's army, and asked him to set off immediately and take the order to lead the army in place.

After the father and son received the order, Xin Tong went out to lead Meng Tian's 30,000 troops and a brigade of nearly 100,000 war horses that had been prepared long ago, and set off north overnight.

On the Hun side, on the night of the end of the battle. Mao Dunshan gathered the generals to discuss the military, and he knew in his heart that the two major casualties were the Donghu soldiers and horses and some Yueshi cavalry, and the Xiongnu headquarters suffered less than 10,000 casualties. If his own Xiongnu elite does not go to war again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the Great Qin army, and the morale of the army will soon be gone.

After the discussion, Mao Dun issued a military order: the left and right Xianwang made a large number of engineering equipment. Three days later, the elite of the Xiongnu and the remaining Donghu cavalry were on the left side, and the 200,000 Yueshi army with little casualties was on the right side, attacking Yanmen Pass together, attacking day and night, and it was necessary to level the Yanmen Pass.

On the night of the second day, all the horses sent by the Xiongnu to the north did not return, but the Qin army at Yanmen Pass suddenly opened the door from the pass to attack the Xiongnu.

At the time of the third watch, the Qin army withdrew into Yanmen Pass, and the Huns slowly fell asleep. At this time, less than a hundred miles north of the main army of Shan Yu, an incomparably elite Jiuyuan cavalry was slowly approaching the Xiongnu army.

After midnight, the cavalry of one man and three horses was divided into three teams, each of 10,000 men. Xin Tong was in the second team, and suddenly launched a charge to attack the camp tent of the Hun Shan Yu headquarters, and suddenly the ground began to shake violently, and nearly 100,000 war horses charged at full speed, which was really like thunder, shouting to kill the sky.

At this moment, the Hun army is sleeping! Awakened by the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of slaughter, which was more shocking than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, before he could prepare, the 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 horses of the front team had already rushed into the tents on the periphery. The Hun soldiers who were in a hurry were immediately trampled into pulp, and countless war horses stepped directly on the camp tents.

Xin Tong led the most elite Jiuyuan cavalry of Great Qin, frantically killing the Huns' soldiers and horses, and the Huns' camp was in chaos in the fire in less than an hour, and all kinds of tragic voices came from all directions.

The 50,000 elite cavalry guarding Shan Yu's tent were on standby at all times, and they were not panicked at all, seeing that the army in the middle was extremely chaotic, slashing and killing like a camp, but they were immovable, waiting for Shan Yu's order.

Shan Yu, who was in the king's tent, heard the messages from the generals from all walks of life, and finally understood in his heart that the people who came out of Yanmen Pass to fight against him in the past two days were all bait, and the purpose was to cover the attack of this elite cavalry tonight.

He knew very well in his heart that the Great Qin army was insufficient to need such a surprise army to attack and disturb him, so he ordered the 30,000 falconer cavalry of the royal tent to set off with him overnight, immediately go north, detour back to the rear of this attacking enemy army, and start attacking this tired Qin army after dawn.

Xin Tong led the elite of the Jiuyuan cavalry to kill wildly in the Xiongnu camp, and slashed and killed for two hours with great joy. When I was forgetting myself, I inadvertently saw the white star in the east, and the sky was about to dawn, and I remembered Meng Tian's entrustment, the sneak attack must be at night, and you have to hide far away during the day, so I quickly ordered the whole army to retreat north.

Half an hour later, Xintong's army all withdrew from the Xiongnu army camp and withdrew to the north. When they walked for less than half an hour, the sentry horse in front reported that there was a Hun soldier and horse with tens of thousands of cavalry waiting in the north, and the sentry horse behind also reported that the Huns began to gather more than 100,000 cavalry to chase and kill their own soldiers and horses.

Xin Tong immediately stopped the army and began to shout to the army: "Brothers, we made an immortal deed last night, and now the Huns are bullying us and waiting for us to eat us, do you have the confidence to kill them again?" ”

After last night's baptism of blood, the whole army lost no more than 1,000 people, and when the morale was very strong, they were suddenly full of pride and shouted: "Kill all the Huns!" ”

Immediately, Xin Tong ordered the whole army to turn around and go south, galloping towards the northbound army of the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu army originally wanted to surround and kill the exhausted Qin army, but they thought that they would suddenly turn south and rush towards themselves.

At the moment when the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops were stunned, the cry like thunder shouted to kill the heavens again, just like last night, those devil-like Qin troops were killed in front of them again.

The Xiongnu army rushed to the battle and was overwhelmed by nearly 30,000 elite Qin troops. After a tragic frontal slashing for an hour, the whole Xiongnu army was unable to form an effective counterattack, and it was unable to organize an orderly retreat, and suddenly the whole army began to rout and flee for its life......

Mao Dunshan Yu received a report from Tanma that the Qin army that had attacked last night was heading north, and ordered the whole army to prepare to rush and kill. But I couldn't see the Qin army anymore!!

Tanma reported again that the Qin army had fled south, and Shan Yu was very relieved. Because he had already deployed 100,000 cavalry, he went north at dawn to besiege and kill this Qin army that attacked at night.

Just when Mao Dunshan was complacent in his heart, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly shook the sky in the north, and the shouts of killing were heard for miles, and everyone was shocked.

It turned out that a team of tens of thousands of Qin cavalry in the north was frantically rushing south. Thinking that the Qin army had been fully prepared for this attack, Yu Yu was worried that he would be surrounded, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat to the west.

Xin Tong is full of luck, and he really shouldn't die. If the most elite cavalry of the Xiongnu went directly south and engaged the Qin army, even if Xin Sheng came to respond, the outcome was unpredictable.

Xin Tong's troops defeated the Xiongnu army and retreated, and he also lost 10,000 soldiers and horses, and most of the Qin army was exhausted, so he ordered the army not to chase and kill, and immediately retreated north.

Half an hour later, he met with Xin Sheng's army who came to respond, and Xin Sheng saw his son covered in blood and the more than 10,000 cavalrymen who killed the red eye, and immediately shed tears.

They all knew that they couldn't stay and rest at this moment, and once the Hun army organized to surround it again, it would be impossible to escape. Xin Tong ordered the whole army to rest a little, changed horses, and quickly retreated east into the Great Wall.

Xin Sheng led an army of 50,000 to the west according to Meng Tian's general order, outflanking and attacking the Xiongnu army in a roundabout way. After a night of fierce fighting, Xin Tong's army of 30,000 lost about 11,000.

The Xiongnu trampled and were slashed and killed in confusion at night, losing more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and after dawn, the Xiongnu soldiers and horses lost more than 20,000, so that a total of nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses were lost. This is not much for the more than 600,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu, but this time the Xiongnu were attacked and killed by the Qin army, and the morale of the Xiongnu fell to a low point, and the morale of the Xiongnu was even more turbulent.

When Meng Tian received Xin Tong's battle situation, he was very pleased, and immediately sent a reward for Xin Tong's army and a reward to the imperial court.

Immediately, Meng Tian issued an order: ordered Cheng Zhiyi, who had been in ambush for a long time, the crossbow arrow army led by the Meng army, and the crossbow arrow army led by Bai Long and Zhao Sheng to prepare to cooperate with tonight's battle to attack; When Li Xi's army saw that there was a Xiongnu army heading north, he must attack and entangle it, and he must not let it escape.

Mao Dunshan was defeated by the Qin army's two surprise soldiers, and he was extremely angry, and immediately ordered an all-out attack on Yanmen Pass. There were two situations on the left and right flanks of the front attack, the left flank with the participation of the main force of the Xiongnu attacked frantically, while the right flank of the main force of the Yue clan was a feint and did not try its best to attack at all.

At the end of the day, Yanmen Pass still stood still. King Zuo Xian, the former military superintendent of the war, ordered the army to stop attacking the fortifications, and he had to report to Mao Dunshan Yu to solve this situation of disharmony between the left and right.

After receiving the report from King Zuoxian, Shan Yu decided to punish the Yueshi people, and ordered that if he did not go all out to attack the fortification tomorrow, he would order the families of the Yue's cavalry to be enslaved.

As for the situation of the Xiongnu army attacking Yanmen Pass in the coming day, it will be broken down in the next chapter.
