Chapter 230: Poor Maudun

With 20,000 remnants of soldiers, Mao Dun rushed to the royal court non-stop.

All the way back, there were no cattle or sheep along the way, let alone herdsmen, and the grassland, which should have been full of cattle and sheep, seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

There is only one answer to such a situation on the grassland, that is, there is an enemy invasion. This is not only understood by Mao Dun in his heart, but also by others.

But...... Where have the herdsmen fled?

This is what Maudon wants to know most.

Originally, he thought that those herdsmen should have fled in the direction of Toumancheng, after all, it was the royal court of the Xiongnu, and once there was an enemy attack on the grassland, the first thing that everyone thought of was to flee to the direction of the royal court.

However, what made him strange was that he was also rushing in the direction of Toumancheng, but why didn't he see a single herdsman fleeing in the direction of Toumancheng along the way?

Don't...... They had already fled into the city?

Thinking like this in his heart, Mao Dun's heart was even more anxious, and the whole person was about to go crazy in a hurry, eager to put on his wings and fly over with the army.

Hurry up, hurry up for half a day, and finally, finally approach the head Manchester City.

"Shan Yu, look, Wang Ting!"

As soon as the head of Manchester City was revealed in front of everyone's eyes, at this time, the captain pointed to the direction of Manchester City and exclaimed.

Mao Dun raised his eyes and looked at it, he was stupid!

I saw the whole head of Manchester City, thick smoke billowing out, flames soaring into the sky, and the whole head of Manchester City was completely caught in a sea of fire.

Seeing this scene, Mao Dun only felt as if a thunderbolt smashed on his heavenly spirit cover, his head buzzed, his eyes went black, and he fell directly from the horse!

"Shan Yu!"

Suddenly, everyone exclaimed.

Mao Dun was helped up by everyone, and after a while, he slowly woke up.

"It's over, the royal court is over!"

Maudun looked at the smoke-filled Manchester City in front of him, and a line of sad tears fell.

He really cried......

His plan for this expedition to Donghu was originally so perfect, and the fact was as expected, because of the surprise attack, the Xiongnu army defeated Donghu like a bamboo, and the king of Donghu also died in the chaos, which can be said to be the biggest victory in the history of the Xiongnu.

In this battle, if the Xiongnu won the millions of people in Donghu and countless livestock, they would soon become the largest empire on the grassland.

But......

As soon as he thought of the Qin army that suddenly ran out to grab food, Mao Dun felt a cramping pain in his heart, and he couldn't breathe in pain.

This loss is too big!

It's so big that it can't be handled.

Of the 70,000 troops, only 20,000 returned.

Defeat and return, that's all.

As a result, now, the royal court is gone......

Thinking of this, the angry Mao Dun really couldn't accept such a fact, and his liver and gallbladder were bursting with grief and anger, and a mouthful of blood spurted out directly.

This mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he almost hung up.

Everyone was frightened, and several ministers desperately shouted: "Shan Yu, Shan Yu!" ”

Mao Dun was paralyzed in the minister's arms, breathing rapidly, his mouth was full of blood, and he gritted his teeth with a pale face and said, "Qin ...... Qin Jun, it must be Qin Jun! ”

To be honest, at this time, Mao Dun really hated Qin Jun to the point of no return.

If he captures a Qin soldier in his hand now, he has to use a knife to scrape off his flesh with this Qin soldier one by one, and then dig out his heart to eat it, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"Shan Yu, what now?"

Just when Mao Dun's eyes were red and he was extremely angry, everyone asked him.

"Fu ...... Help me up! ”

Mao Dun took a deep breath, and with the support of the Grand Lieutenant, he stood up tremblingly, and then said, "Pai...... Send people to explore the grasslands and look for the Qin army. I...... We went into the city to save people and collect livestock. ”

Everyone nodded, and the Grand Lieutenant immediately sent hundreds of soldiers to investigate the military situation.

Things have come to this point, even if Maudun is no longer willing to accept this tragic result, it will be useless, the only thing that can be done now is to gather the people and livestock, and then re-form a large army, so that there can be a chance to take revenge on the blood hatred.

Soon, Maudon entered the city with an army of 20,000 men.

However, when he entered the city, the scene before him was completely beyond his expectations.

In the whole head of Manchester City, there is not a single people, there are some warriors guarding the royal court on the ground, and the whole head of Manchester City is like a dead city.

No, it should be a ruin.

There are no people, no livestock, nothing......

"How so? What about the people of the city? ”

Mao Dun looked confused.

Because the corpses in the city are all soldiers and generals who guard the royal court, there are almost no corpses of ordinary people.

In other words, the people are not dead, but ...... Escaped?

But it can't be, because not only are the people gone, but also the animals.

When the great enemy comes, and the people flee, will they still have time to take away the animals?

It is too late to drive hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to a safe place when the enemy comes.

Don't...... Were the people and their animals taken captive?

Thinking of this result, Mao Dun was stupid.

Because the Qin army only kills the enemy, it will not plunder the Xiongnu livestock, let alone plunder the Xiongnu people, this is not the style of the Qin army.

Could it be...... Yue's?

Mao Dun said his thoughts, and everyone thought that the enemy army that invaded Manchester City should be the Yueshi.

As a result, everyone was indignant at Yue's family.

Not only did he plunder all the people and livestock in the city, but he also burned the city to ruins, and such a vicious and ruthless method made Mao Dun feel angry at the top of his head.

"Yue's Clan, this Danyu must destroy you!"

Maudon roared almost with a roar.

At this moment, a general came over and said, "Shan Yu, the royal court has been burned out, and no one has found the Yan family." ”

"Natasha!"

Mao suddenly screamed in pain, his heart was like a knife, and he was overwhelmed with grief.

The Xiongnu practiced polygamy, and the Huns called their wives and concubines the Yan family, and this Natasha was Maoton's favorite concubine, because she was very beautiful and was simply the most perfect woman in the world.

At the beginning, King Donghu asked for Natasha's beautiful name, but Mao Dun gave another also beautiful Yan to King Donghu.

Yes, originally he had two Yan clans, one of which was given to King Donghu, and now his favorite Natasha was actually taken away by someone, how can this not make Mao Dun not angry and sad.

Just ask, is there any man in the world who is more pathetic than him, his two wives were forcibly taken away!

To be a man, to this extent, there is no one.

What's more, he is also a king on the steppe.

Poor Mao Dun, even after being hit, failed miserably, the royal city was attacked, and the Yan clan was taken captive, and the whole person was already like a mourner, and he couldn't cry if he wanted to.

However, the bad news did not stop there.

Next, the soldiers who were sent out to inquire about the military situation also began to send back news one after another.

"Report, there is no enemy army within a radius of twenty miles!"

"Report, there is no enemy army within a hundred miles, and there is no trace of the people and livestock!"

"Report, there is no enemy army within a radius of 500 miles, and there is no trace of the people and livestock!"

“…………”

This news continued until the afternoon of the next day.

"Report, the Qin army has been discovered in Wolf Juxu Mountain (in present-day Mongolia)!"

"What? Qin Jun! ”

As soon as he heard this, Mao Dun was stunned.

How could it be Qin Jun?

The Qin army has always raided the grasslands, only for beheading, and never plundered.

"Have you found out, it's not the Yue Clan, but the Qin Army?" The Grand Lieutenant was also surprised and immediately asked.

The soldier said with an affirmative face: "It's the Qin army, there are 50,000 Qin troops, driving my Hun people and cattle and sheep south." ”

"How so?"

Although Mao Dun had long expected that the people and livestock would be captured by the enemy, he did not expect that the person who did such a thing would be the Qin army, which simply subverted everyone's previous perception of the Qin army.

Thinking that the enemy army attacking the grassland was the Qin army again, Mao Dun became even more angry, and hurriedly asked, "How many people, cattle and sheep did the Qin army capture?" ”

When he asked this, the soldiers wept.

Mao Dun was shocked, and hurriedly said: "What are you crying about, say it quickly." ”

The soldier cried: "Shan Yu, all the people and livestock south of the Wolf Juxu Mountain have been captured by the Qin army, and my Hun 700,000 people are now ...... Now only the north of Wolf Juxu Mountain remains, and there are less than 100,000 people at most. Woo......"

"Poof!"

As soon as he heard this, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes were black, he fell back, and fainted directly!
