Chapter 116: The Donghu Army
In the vast steppe, a long cavalry contingent marched forward.
The queue is so long that it seems that there is no end in sight!
Gou Li rode at the front of the team, secretly anxious: "What to do, how to pass the news back!" ”
This time, the task of instigating Donghu to use troops against Daqin and plundering Muhuai County was very successful.
Even, some of the successes went too far!
Last time, after talking about the king of Donghu, he originally united multiple tribes and prepared to jointly send 50,000 troops to plunder the counties of the Great Qin frontier.
However, after the leaders of the various tribes came to gather with their soldiers and horses, the number reached 70,000!
When the tribes heard about the inexhaustible grain and countless livestock, they felt a deep greed in their hearts.
As long as you have one more person and one ride, you can wait for more food, livestock and women!
Therefore, in order to get more food for the winter, each tribe chooses warriors as much as possible.
After all, there are not many opportunities for this kind of multi-tribal joint army to plunder.
There are many people and horses, and it is safer to loot, so it is natural to lead more troops and grab more food!
Moreover, after this raid, it will inevitably cause a county town to be slaughtered, and with Meng Tian's style of acting, he will definitely not give up!
Otherwise, it will definitely attract Great Qin's revenge!
After this raid, the tribe will migrate to the deeper part of the grassland, leaving the Great Qin cavalry helpless!
At that time, even if it is a tribe that did not participate in the raid, as long as it is found by the cavalry of the Qin army, it will inevitably be a bloody battle!
If you lose too many tribal warriors and flocks of food, grass and sheep, it is difficult to say whether you will survive this winter!
Therefore, anyway, if you don't participate, you will be hated, so it's better to send more troops to grab a little more!
Although the king of Donghu ordered the number of troops to be brought to each tribe, no one was a fool.
As a result, each of the seven tribes brought an extra three or five thousand, plus the army of King Donghu, and the scale rose to seventy thousand!
Now, King Donghu doesn't agree!
In the steppe, whoever has the big fist is the truth!
To be able to become the king of Donghu is naturally the most powerful among the tribes, otherwise it would have been swallowed up by other tribes.
Now the combined number of soldiers and horses of other tribes has reached 40,000, which is more than their own soldiers and horses.
That's it!
If there is a big conflict of interest, it may be difficult to subdue other tribes.
Therefore, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he once again had 30,000 soldiers, and he had the power to suppress other tribes!
However, this time, the original estimate of 50,000 horses has doubled, far exceeding the number of the last intelligence.
The difference between 50,000 and 100,000 is huge!
The so-called 10,000 people are boundless and borderless, not to mention 50,000 more soldiers and horses.
If the Shangjun side is arranged according to the arrangement of 50,000 people, it is very likely that it will suffer a big loss!
Muhuai County, which was originally just used as a bait, may really be looted, and countless people will be slaughtered!
Gou Li listened to the promise made by King Donghu along the way, and the countless treasures that he would share, with a smug smile on his face.
In the bottom of my heart, I was secretly anxious.
After all, if it was because of an intelligence error, the Qin army was defeated and a county town was slaughtered!
When the time comes, I am afraid that I will really be charged with collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
When the time comes, I am afraid that all the family members who remain in the county town will not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded!
Even if you can ignore the life and death of the people of Muhuai County by the nature of a businessman, you can't ignore the life or death of your family!
"Mr. Gouli, you are Donghu's friend, forever friend, hahaha!"
The king of Donghu rode aside, laughing proudly at the thought of the countless riches, grains, and women that were about to be plundered.
Although the sudden increase of 50,000 horses and horses will lead to less looting, it is safer and more secure.
100,000 Donghu warriors attacking a border county town is simply too easy!
After all, the border army of Shangjun was only 300,000, and its main task was to defend against the sneak attack of the Huns.
Moreover, according to the detailed report, due to the tense relationship between the emperor of Shangjun and Xianyang, 100,000 troops have now been drawn out to fight between the two counties.
In other words, the soldiers and horses that Shangjun can use are at most 100,000.
Muhuai County is not big, and it cannot accommodate an army of 100,000.
Even if the Shangjun side is really prepared, the two sides are fighting in the field, and the advantage of the cavalry will be great!
Therefore, King Donghu is now leading 100,000 troops, he is complacent, and he doesn't take the Qin army in his eyes at all, even if the other party receives the news and is on guard, he is not afraid!
100,000 infantry against 100,000 cavalry, you don't have to guess to know the result.
King Donghu narrowed his eyes, and the whole person felt floating.
I secretly pondered in my heart, I heard that the recent relationship between Shan Yu of the Xiongnu and the crown prince Maodun suddenly became a little delicate, and there was also a tribe named Imori who took refuge in Maodun.
Hmph, when the grain, grass and women are plundered this time, I will ask Maudun to send the mount!
I heard that his women are also very beautiful......!
As the team moved forward, it was getting closer and closer to the intended ambush location.
Gou Li's heart was anxious, and his mind quickly thought about how to inform the Overseer!
Although I carried a carrier pigeon, I didn't dare to use it rashly, otherwise it would arouse suspicion!
King Donghu glanced up at the sky and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Gou Li, Qin Jun is really unprepared this time?" ”
Gou Li's heart jumped, and he stabilized his mind so that he didn't show any flaws, and pretended to be annoyed and said: "Why, King Donghu still can't believe it!?" ”
"No, no, Mr. Goli misunderstood!"
King Donghu waved his hand and explained: "It's just that I don't know the movements of the Qin army now, in case we are discovered by Xizuo, it will be troublesome to set up an ambush in advance!" ”
Gou Li drooped his eyelids, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
He swore and said: "King Donghu, rest assured, the 200,000 troops of the local army are eyeing the county border, and they have no time to take care of themselves, how can there be troops in charge of the county seat!"
I'm afraid that the current county guards may be more lax than usual, hahaha! ”
Then the conversation changed: "If King Donghu is still not at ease, I can fly the pigeon and pass the book to the subordinates who stay in the county seat to monitor it and check it along the way!" ”
King Donghu raised his eyebrows, stroked his palms and smiled: "So good, there is Mr. Lao!" ”
Gou Li took out the carrier pigeon, left a secret signal, and raised his hands, the carrier pigeon flew out, and disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye.
King Donghu looked at the disappeared carrier pigeon and became more confident.
If it had been six months ago, he would not have been so confident.
But now Shangjun is being watched by an army of 200,000, and according to common sense, how can there be time to care about them.
I'm afraid that now the Shangjun border army is busy dealing with the Xianyang army, and even the Xiongnu can't take care of it, let alone Donghu!
Da-da-da-da
On top of a mountain cliff, Cao Zhengchun ran quickly with a note in his hand, and handed it respectfully with his head down.
Fusu took the note and glanced at it, and his eyes narrowed.
smiled: "Hehe, is this a gift package?" ”
