Poor Maudun, because of this fiasco, he already felt overwhelmed, gloomy and sad, as if he had the pain of heart-shattering and liver-splitting, and life was worse than death. If, at this time, he knew that his base camp was suffering from a catastrophe, I don't know if he would directly spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

To the north of Yin Mountain, head Manchester City.

Because Maodun gathered all the Xiongnu armies and set out to conquer Donghu, the political power center where the Xiongnu royal court was located, Toumancheng, had only more than 2,000 garrisons at this time.

At this time, Zhang Han, with 20,000 iron horsemen, had already rushed into Touman City and swept away the royal court of Maudun.

The total number of livestock was more than 10,000 horses, 70,000 cattle and sheep, as well as countless kinds of dried meat and some weapons.

In short, all the materials that could allow the Huns to survive the winter were swept away.

Because Touman City is the royal court of Maudun and the political center of the Xiongnu, it is very rich in materials.

And Zhang Han only has 20,000 cavalry, how can these countless animal materials be transported back?

Zhang Han had an idea, and directly captured the 20,000 Huns in Toumancheng. simply let these 20,000 Huns help transport livestock materials.

In Zhang Han's view, the dean said that this northern expedition was not to exterminate the Xiongnu, but to unify the Xiongnu. In other words, this expedition is not against these Xiongnu people, but against the Xiongnu regime.

And now, the livestock and supplies in Touman City have been swept away, and the 20,000 Huns in this city will obviously starve to death.

Therefore, Zhang Han felt that it was better to take the Xiongnu people captive to the Hetao now, and then let these Xiongnu people move back to this grassland after defeating Maoton. First, these Xiongnu people can help transport livestock materials back to Hetao, and second, the Xiongnu people were taken captive, and the army of Maudun lost its regeneration power, and the people were gone.

Thinking of this, Zhang Han felt that he was simply too smart. So, he came to a three-light policy.

The livestock was robbed, the people were taken captive, the royal court was burned down, and the city became an empty city with a raging fire in the blink of an eye.

Seeing his results, Zhang Han was very satisfied, and immediately divided 5,000 cavalry to drive the 20,000 Huns to transport livestock materials back to Hetao. And he took 15,000 people and continued to sweep the Xiongnu steppe.

In order to make his clever plan and achieve greater military achievements, he also sent someone to tell Wang Li about his clever plan and let him do the same.

…………

Sure enough, at this time, Wang Li, who had swept countless livestock on the Xiongnu steppe, was also in trouble with how to transport this large amount of loot back to Daqin.

Since a few days ago, after receiving Li Yang's order.

He divided his troops into two routes, led by the deputy general Su Jiao, led an army of 50,000, and hurried to Donghu to support Li Yang. And he himself led an army of 150,000 to take advantage of the Hun army to go out and sweep the Hun steppe.

It's just that there are too many livestock, and the 150,000-strong army has only swept a quarter of the grassland of the Xiongnu, and there is no way to continue.

Because of these livestock products, troops are required to be responsible for transporting them back to Daqin, so sweeping a batch of livestock will be divided into troops to transport, and soon the 150,000 troops that can be used to sweep the grassland will be too small.

Just when Wang Li saw that only half of his troops were left, he was a little worried.

According to this situation, it is obviously impossible to sweep the entire Xiongnu steppe before the Hun army returns.

And at this time, a herald of Zhang Han ran over and brought the idea of capturing the Xiongnu people and helping to transport livestock.

Hearing this idea, Wang Li immediately applauded.

Then, he also began to captivate the Xiongnu people, allowing the people of each Xiongnu tribe to transport the livestock of their respective tribes by themselves, and the effect was immediate, and the Qin army only needed to send a small number of soldiers to escort it, and the livestock could be safely transported to the Qin border.

Moreover, later, Wang Li did not send a large army to sweep the livestock at all, but directly swept the Xiongnu tribes, one by one to plunder.

Clearly tell them that they should be moved into the Hetao, and they will have to solve the problem of temperature protection by themselves this winter, so if there are livestock in the tribe, it is best to bring them with them, so as not to move to the Hetao and have no food for the winter.

The effect of this trick is that of a cylinder.

These Xiongnu tribes one by one, when they heard that the Qin army was going to move them to Hetao to settle down, they had to take everything they could with them quickly, could it be that they ran over and starved?

As a result, these captive tribes took the initiative to concentrate their livestock and load them into trucks, and then under the escort of the Qin army, they rushed towards the direction of Hetao......

All of a sudden, the entire Xiongnu steppe, everywhere is the migration of the marching team, less than a few hundred, more than tens of thousands of people, these migration teams drive countless horses, cattle and sheep, the car is full of jerky luggage, mighty, the scene is so spectacular!

According to later statistics, the Qin army captured a total of 600,000 Xiongnu people, 400,000 horses, and nearly one million cattle and sheep in this sweeping operation.

You must know that the total population of the Xiongnu at that time was only about 700,000 people, that is to say, the Qin army almost captured the people of the Xiongnu.

It can be said that the Qin army's sweeping plan has won an unprecedented victory!

…………

In other words, Maudun returned from a fiasco and headed in the direction of Manchester City.

Because there was nothing to gain in this battle, and they fled all the way, the whole army was already hungry with their chests and backs.

In order to get food as soon as possible, he sent people around looking for livestock along the way.

However, all the way back, in the places I passed, there was not even a single cow or sheep on the big grassland, and of course, the human figure was extinct.

This phenomenon always made him feel that something was strange.

When the expedition was set, the empty grassland was full of cattle and sheep, and nomadic people could be seen everywhere.

But now, why is there not even a ghost?

Mao Dun was a little strange and asked the people around him, but the people around him didn't know what was going on.

Although I don't understand, everyone feels that this thing is a little weird.

After driving for a few more miles, a tribal settlement finally appeared in front of him, and tents were everywhere.

Mao Dun was overjoyed, and immediately ran over with 20,000 cavalry.

As a result, when they arrived at this tribe, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What about people?"

I saw that this tribe was empty, and there was no one. All the tents were empty.

How to describe this feeling, Mao Dun felt as if all the people in this tribe had fled.

Why?

Because the scene was messy, but there was not a single body to be seen.

In other words, they did not encounter enemy attacks, they fled on their own.

This is...... What's the situation?

Why did they run away? And judging from the messy situation at the scene, they were still so eager to escape......

Mao Dun was stunned!

He had a bad premonition in his heart, that is, when he led a large army to fight Donghu, an enemy took the opportunity to step into the grassland of the Xiongnu!

Is it Yueshi? Or Qin Jun?

At this time, Mao Dun remembered the Qin army who suddenly appeared in Donghu, and suddenly his heart chuckled, and his face changed greatly, could it be ...... The Qin army invaded the Xiongnu steppe?

Thinking of this, Mao Dun was really frightened, and a cold sweat broke out.

If the Qin army took advantage of this to invade the Xiongnu in the days when he went out to conquer Donghu, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not only did the royal court have no power to resist, but even the entire Xiongnu steppe had no soldiers to fight.

Thinking of this, he was about to be scared out, his face turned pale, and he exclaimed: "Quick, go back to the royal court!" ”
