Chapter 154: Straight to the Royal Court

"Childe, good news, good news ahead!"

Cao Zhengchun's old face blossomed, and he was excited to report the good news from afar.

This old eunuch is in charge of Daqin's intelligence agency, and the feedback is often faster than the good news sent on the battlefield!

This kind of good news from the front line was naturally sent by the old eunuch himself, and he was able to show his face well.

As a senior old eunuch, how could he miss this opportunity to show off in front of his master!

It can be proved that the intelligence network of the Blackwater Station is the fastest!

Fusu put down the official business in his hand, and his face also showed a look of expectation.

The use of troops against the Xiongnu this time is related to whether all forces can be transferred to the country in the future to quell the civil strife in one fell swoop!

If the strategy failed, it did not inflict heavy damage on the Xiongnu, but allowed it to preserve its strength.

Under the enrage, there will definitely be fierce revenge on Daqin!

At that time, the price to pay if you want to stabilize the rear is a lot!

Moreover, this campaign must not be too much to lose.

If you kill both sides, you won't have enough strength to pacify the thieves, so you can only choose to do it!

Fusu looked at the information that had been summarized on the table, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Li Jing led an army of 130,000, plus the Qin soldiers who disguised themselves as civilians in the caravan, a total of 150,000 people.

In one fell swoop, he severely damaged 80,000 elite horsemen of the Huns, killed 50,000 enemies, and captured more than 30,000 prisoners!

In the years of fighting each other with the Huns, this is an unprecedented victory!

Even if Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to garrison it, it was just to expel him!

Fusu narrowed his eyes and carefully flipped through the second piece of information.

That was the battle report of the Flying Cavalry in the raid on the Xiongnu royal court......!

In the afternoon, the prairie is sunny, and occasionally you can see someone driving the sheep back.

In the royal court, you can see a lot of Qin people who are covered in dirt and unclothed like beggars.

If the movement is a little slower, the Hun who is supervising next to him will be whipped violently, and his mouth will be cursing non-stop.

In the case of physical weakness, many Qin slaves who were plundered were directly beaten to death.

The corpse was thrown into the savannah and soon to be eaten by hungry wolves!

In the eyes of the Huns, these Daqin pariahs had a low status, and they were not even as good as livestock.

Not to mention eating, being able to get a few leftover pieces of rotten weeds to eat is already a luxury!

The Huns would rather feed the leftover sheep bones to the dogs than give them to the plundering Qin people, because they felt it was a waste!

Anyway, these Qin slaves are dead, just grab a batch and come back!

The Hun captives who were mining in Heilinpo were already happy compared to these ordinary people who were plundered to the depths of the grassland!

At least, there is still a bite to eat in the mining of Heilinpo, although it is not full, but it is a hundred times stronger than these robbed Qin people!

Except, of course, that you could die at any time under a collapsed mine...... Barely even happiness.

Fusu can be benevolent to the people of Daqin, even if they surrender in rebellion, they can be given a light sentence because they are coerced and forced to live.

The lowest level of thieves is usually released after serving a year in prison.

For these brutal interracial .......

Actually, the idea is pretty much the same.

Just catch it when you're dead!

Now there are nearly 100,000 foreign prisoners of war in Shangjun, which is already the limit for a county.

If we add more prisoners, although there will be more labor, it will also be a huge burden on food and grass!

Therefore, this time the caravan was used as a bait to lure the Huns, so they did not put forward a request to capture prisoners, but let the army dispose of it on its own.

Even if you kill all the elite cavalry of the Huns, it doesn't matter!

As long as the Huns do not have the ability to attack and harass the border again, it is enough!

Fusu just wants results!

But the Xiongnu were even more cruel to the Qin people who plundered them!

Sometimes just because you're in a bad mood, you can beat these slaves captured from Great Qin to death!

Maudun's heart is even more vicious, and in order to make the fed hunting dogs wild, he even feeds the dogs alive with slaves!

Since Touman accepted Imori's suggestion, he transferred the last elite guarding the royal court to the front for reinforcements at any time.

As a result, the royal court is now empty, except for women and children, there are only a thousand guards left!

The Flying Cavalry was the best of the best, and their equipment was even more refined, and each of them had a repeating crossbow and two boxes of arrows hanging from their saddles.

The blade in his hand is made of stainless steel in the Black Forest Slope Workshop!

With the help of saddle and stirrups, it can be more flexible on horseback.

Such a team of 3,000 people is crushing even against the same number of elite Hun cavalry!

What's more, there are only a thousand guards guarding the royal court!

According to the map, the Flying Cavalry attacked overnight and stopped at the foot of a hillside two miles away.

On the one hand, the team was rested to rest the soldiers and horses who were running all the way, and on the other hand, scouts were sent to investigate.

Although according to the intelligence, all the elite of the Huns have been transferred, now is the time when the royal court is empty!

But after all, it is the royal court and the political center of the Xiongnu, so there is no reason to be careless.

In addition, it is a lone army, and if you don't understand the situation, you will charge recklessly, and if there is an accident, it will be the consequence of the annihilation of the whole army!

Although Yan Qi wants to make military achievements, he is not a reckless person.

After the report of Tanma and the distribution of the Xiongnu royal court were roughly described, I had a bottom in my heart.

The signal for the attack was issued!

Suddenly, three thousand well-armed cavalry charged towards the royal court behind the hillside.

Knock knock!

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves resounded over the steppe.

Immediately, the 1,000 cavalrymen on duty in the royal court also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and turned their heads to look at them one by one, with doubts in their eyes.

On the hillside, why not arrange a guard post?

Strangely, the vigilantes did not send a warning.

Doubts arose in everyone's hearts.

Could it be that the marauding army has returned?

Or did they come back with 20,000 horses?

It's a pity that what they don't know is that the group of ten cavalry who stayed on the hillside and condescendingly guarded has long been wiped out!

The main training of the Flying Cavalry is to infiltrate and assassinate.

If you want to take the enemy by surprise, how can you not get rid of the enemy's vigilance first with the strategic training received by the flying cavalry army!

The flying horseman who opened the way first dismounted from a distance, and took advantage of the fact that he had just changed his guard at noon, and took the opportunity to get close and cut the necks of those sentinels!

Otherwise, under condescending observation, it would be difficult for 3,000 people to lurk quietly!

This thousand-mile raid is carried out by a decapitation operation!

Once exposed, the leaders of the Huns will take the opportunity to slip away!

Knock knock!

Three thousand cavalry lined up, crossed the hillside and charged.

Below, the puzzled Huns finally saw clearly the cavalry on the hillside wearing black armor, and the black dragon flag fluttering high in the wind!

Suddenly, the royal court let out a frightened warning sound.

"Qin Jun, Qin Jun is here!"
