As Meng Tian expected, when the envoys of Great Qin found the patriarchs of the Xiongnu tribes respectively. For Great Qin's request, the patriarchs of the Xiongnu tribes could hardly refuse. You must know that once Daqin officially raised troops against Donghu and gathered all his troops to Donghu in the front, it would be a woman with an open door for the Xiongnu, without the slightest ability to resist.

Picking up money, for the Xiongnu tribes, what Daqin said was simply a business of picking up money.

Great Qin has raised troops, and the storm that has been brewing for a long time has fallen.

Great Qin, with Meng Tian as the commander, raised 100,000 troops and officially declared war on Donghu. In order to prevent the Da Yue clan from helping the fist, Da Qin mobilized a large number of soldiers who were originally stationed on the border with the Xiongnu to the grassland bordering the Da Yue clan.

Meng Tian's legions need to guard against Guishuang, Lou Fu, and confront Da Yue, and the troops that can really move are only these more than 100,000. At this time, the Donghu people on the front line had also mobilized the whole people, and almost all the men who could hold weapons went into battle. 150,000 people who control the strings, this is already the entire power of the entire Donghu. Defeat is the scourge of extermination.

In Yuecheng, Meng Tian's army moved, and the 100,000 army with an array of 40,000 in the middle army, 30,000 in the left flank, and 30,000 in the right flank, towards the grassland of Donghu and the Guiyan formation.

At this time, in the Wind Wolf Valley, Donghu Danyu was directing his tribes to prepare to meet the enemy. Now the position of Donghu is very awkward, and among the three tribes of the Hetao of the original alliance, the Xiongnu have already made it clear that they will not send troops to help them. And the Da Yue clan is also a little hesitant about whether to send troops because of the current reaction of the Huns. Now, if they want the Dayue clan to send troops, their Donghu people have to fight a beautiful reflexive battle first.

"Wind Wolf Valley is our last line of defense, and in the future is our tribe, our wives and children. The battle had to be fought in front of the Wind Wolf Valley, and the Qin army had already left the city. Don't take chances, this battle is inevitable. We can't let the Qin army come over safely, who wants to fight this first battle. Donghu Danyu glanced at the patriarchs of the tribes and asked.

"I'll go."

"I'll go too."

The two big men shouted, these two are the patriarchs of the Green Wolf Department and the Sand Wolf Tribe, these two tribes are also the henchmen of Donghu Danyu, and each has seven or eight thousand people who control the strings.

"The Green Wolf Department attacked the right wing of the Qin army, the Sand Wolf Department attacked the left wing of the Qin army, and you led 15,000 elites under my command to be responsible for attacking and harassing the middle army of the Qin army." Donghu Danyu pointed to the map and gave orders.

Feng Ji is the first general of Donghu Shan in the headquarters, and is also known as the first warrior of Donghu, this person is quite brave, and he is one of the best among the Donghu tribes in fighting with soldiers.

"Just rest assured, the end will inevitably return with a great victory." Feng Ji clenched his fists and shouted.

Donghu continued to turn over to boost morale, so the main force of this first battle must use his own troops and horses, and the rest of Donghu Shan Yu was not at ease.

After the task was assigned, three large armies were driven out of the Wind Wolf Valley almost at the same time, rushing towards the direction of Moon City. Wind Wolf Valley was about a hundred miles away from Moon City, and Meng Tian's army and Donghu raiding troops were coming head-on.

"Da, da, da."

At noon, two torrents of steel, one black and one yellow, collided head-on. This was a life-and-death battle between Great Qin and Donghu, and both sides were desperate for this victory.

Great Qin sent troops to Donghu, and this march and war were exquisite, and then declined, and then exhausted. Daqin is now in full swing, and if he can win the first battle, he can take Donghu with all his might. But if this battle is over, the momentum will be exhausted, and once this war against Donghu becomes a protracted war, it will be a great disadvantage for Daqin.

The armies of the two sides came head-on, and the Donghu tribe only had more than 30,000 people, while the Great Qin had 100,000 troops. If it is a head-on battle, the Qin army naturally has an absolute chance of winning. However, this Donghu army was obviously not here to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, their task was to attack the Qin army and slow down the Qin army's march.

When the two sides met, the scouts dispersed by the Qin army were strangled by the Donghu people at the first time. Clearing out the scouts on the periphery of Great Qin, the Donghu people began their own performance. Cavalry of small units, harassment. The Donghu cavalry gathered as few as three or five people, and as many as thirty or fifty people, wandering around the periphery of the Qin army, harassing the Qin army in the form of cavalry shooting.

The Donghu people are a native grassland people, and whether it is riding or archery, they are above the Qin soldiers. Moreover, the Donghu cavalry who came to attack and harassed them also rode good horses among the tribes, and their horsepower was also higher than that of the Qin army.

Therefore, this kind of tactics is a difficult tactic for the Qin army to deal with. Chasing or not chasing is not a good way, sending people to chase will inevitably slow down the marching speed of the army, not to mention the casualties on the way to chase, and it may not be able to catch up. But if you don't chase them, then these rangers will be like flies, disgusting you all the time.

"Inform the left and right wings, just drive them away, don't chase them deeply." Meng Tian said to his heralds.

To deal with the grassland peoples, Meng Tian still has two brushes. In this case, the deep pursuit will inevitably be kite-flying, but it is not possible to let the Donghu rangers do it, and send a force to stalemate with them, so as to avoid the attack of the Donghu rangers as much as possible.

"Meng Shuai, I'll take someone there." At this time, the king beside Meng Tian left his mouth and said.

Meng Tian glanced at Wang Li, he was naturally familiar with Wang Li, but this kid had some skills from his father, but he still had to take the school exam.

"Okay, then you go, remember not to chase deeply." Meng Tian looked at Wang Li for a while, nodded and said.

"Da, da, da."

Wang Li ordered his cavalry, and then quickly separated from the army. In the eyes of Meng Tian's men, this cavalry from Xianyang seemed to be very different from them. The cavalry did not carry a crossbow, but carried a yellow tube on its back.

Wang Li led and went to the front, Fan Xu went to the left flank, and Yingbu went to the right flank, which was also the first stop of the three generals under Li Chen, who came to the grassland.

The advantage of the Qin cavalry was that the stirrups and saddles could be used to maintain strength and balance, while the Donghu people lived on horseback and had more exquisite riding skills. With such a nation on horseback, even if there are sharp weapons such as stirrups and saddles, the Qin army does not have much advantage.

In terms of horsepower, the Qin army was obviously at a disadvantage. You must know that except for a small number of war horses produced by Yuecheng, most of the war horses of the Qin army are traded with various tribes in the grassland. How could these steppe tribes sell their best horses to Great Qin, so most of the Qin cavalry's horses were inferior to the horses of the Donghu people.

The horses of the Qin army were slow, while the horses of the Donghu people were fast, and there would be a distance between the two sides, which also made it more convenient for the Donghu people to play their riding and archery skills. However, this time they were doomed to tragedy, because Wang Li's cavalry from Xianyang was not armed with bows and crossbows, but muskets that fired at a longer distance. Xianyang's range advantage can completely offset the advantage of Donghu's horsepower.
