Chapter 354: Meng Tian's Strength (First Update)
"General, the Huns have no intention of turning back to fight with our army, if they chase again, they will go out of the Great Wall of our Great Qin, if our army still pursues out, I am afraid it will be very difficult to come back."
Although some were killed by the Qin soldiers' crossbows, the Huns had no intention of fighting the Qin soldiers at all, obviously, they would rather lose some men and horses in the territory of Great Qin, and they had to take all the cavalry of Great Qin outside the city walls of Great Qin.
And why did the Huns do this, they all understood in the hearts of Zhang Han and Sima Xin who rushed to kill, they knew that the Huns must want to attract them outside the Great Wall, and then use the vast territory and numerical advantage outside the Great Wall to charge and kill the cavalry of Daqin, so that the previous advantage of the Daqin cavalry will definitely cease to exist.
But after Han Xin heard such a report, he almost didn't hesitate, he directly waved his hand, and said loudly: "The order that the king gave me is to kill the Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodun, and there is also General Meng Tian outside the Great Wall to help, we must not be lazy, as the king said: laugh and drink the blood of the Huns!" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately added a lot of confidence to the Qin soldiers who had some concerns about the possibility of being defeated by the Huns once they left the Great Wall.
Soon, the Huns walked out of the Great Wall in waves, and Han Xin knew that he had made such a decision today, if he couldn't catch or kill one of Xiang Yu and Mao Dun, he would be a little unclear in Yinggao.
But the matter has come to this point, let him watch Mao Dun calmly take the Huns back to his own territory again is something that Han Xin is absolutely unwilling, after all, this battle has been prepared for several months, and he has already boasted of Haikou in Yinggao, if it ends like this, Han Xin feels that he has no face to mix in the court of Daqin again.
And just when Han Xin was leading everyone out to chase the Hun cavalry with a white face, far behind Han Xin's team, two horses were moving forward slowly, weren't they the two of Xiang Yu and Long He who caused a lot of deviations in Han Xin's plan?
"Major General, it seems that Mao Dun is no longer ready to continue the attack, but Daqin, who is only forty or fifty thousand cavalry, dares to chase after him, I really don't know what to rely on."
Of course, the two of them had already seen it at this time, it was Xiang Yu's shout just now that made the Daqin soldiers who originally planned to ambush for a while and shoot arrows a little confused, and they also saw that the Spring and Autumn Dream of the Huns attacking Xianyang should be shattered, but of course the two of them couldn't run for their lives by themselves, because there were still 10,000 horses under Xiang Yu's command on the territory of the Huns.
"No matter what the Qin people rely on, as long as they chase them out of the Great Wall, there must be some reason over there, it seems that the scouts I sent before have already been discovered by the people of Great Qin, this is just a plan."
Although Xiang Yu's voice was small when he said this, there was still a lot of helplessness in his tone, of course he didn't want to be guessed by the people of Great Qin what he did, which didn't mean anything else, it could only show that his ability was much worse than that of Great Qin's Emperor Yinggao.
"Then I wonder what the two of us should do?"
Long He knew that if the two of them followed again, they would have to go out of the Great Wall of Daqin, Long He knew that if they went out, it would be difficult to come back, and Xiang Yu's dream had always been to return to the front of Jiangdong's father, so Long He still gritted his teeth and asked more about this matter.
"Naturally, I took advantage of the chaos to go out, my 10,000 army is still in the land of the Xiongnu, once this battle allows Mao Dun to lead the army to escape, he will never let go of the 10,000 soldiers under my command, we naturally can't survive in the territory of Daqin, but to return to Yafu and others.
Seeing that Xiang Yu's words were still quite firm, Long Ji also nodded again and again, of course he also wanted to go back to be with his brothers, seeing that Xiang Yu seemed to have let go of his obsession with returning to Jiangdong at this time, and hurriedly took the lead to open the way for Xiang Yu.
In the middle of the night, the earth-shattering shouts of killing did not attract anyone's attention because the people within a radius of dozens of miles had already been emptied by Han Xin, and of course, it did not let Meng Tian, who was still on the road, know at first.
In order to avoid letting the Huns find out, Meng Tian deliberately slowed down his progress a little, in his opinion, he had to reach the vicinity of that section of the city wall three or four hours later than the Huns, so he preserved the strength of his cavalry while slowly moving in that direction, of course, there were scouts in front of him.
But just as he was leading the army cautiously, estimating that it would be half an hour before to arrive, the scout he had sent before suddenly returned, at this time it was already the middle of the night, and the surroundings were very dark.
"General, the Huns don't know when they have attacked the Great Wall, but I think it's because they encountered an ambush by my Great Qin sergeant in the Great Wall, when I arrived nearby, I saw that the Hun cavalry of the brigade was retreating, but a group of cavalry of my Daqin was chasing after him, and when the last general returned, there was already a battle outside the Great Wall of Daqin, looking at that situation, the number of my Daqin sergeants is not superior......"
"There was a battle outside the Wall?"
As soon as Meng Tian heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, but he immediately showed a sudden look, of course he could think that this must be Han Xin inside who was afraid that the Huns would run into him after running out, and he was already very far away from Shangjun, in case he was really targeted, it was estimated that it would be a situation of more than one bad luck, and he would not give up if he didn't kill all the troops led by him in order to get angry.
But Meng Tian also knew that the army in Han Xin's hands was worth two pounds, and they had more infantry than the Huns at most, but the Huns had already attracted you to the outside, so the infantry naturally didn't play much of a role.
When Meng Tian was about to order his cavalry to advance at full speed to reinforce Han Xin, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his head, and he had a bold idea.
Indeed, as soon as he got out of the Great Wall of Daqin, Mao Dun felt that all the dark clouds on his head had dispersed, and he was instantly full of confidence, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one at the moment, and directly ordered the soldiers under his command to turn over and start fighting with the soldiers of Daqin.
Han Xin knew that since he had already chased him out, he had to kill until Meng Tian arrived, otherwise his horses would not be able to cause most of the casualties to the Huns, and he had to wait until Meng Tian led the army to arrive, see what kind of effect the two of them could get together, and then decide what the next step would be.
If he really can't inflict huge damage on the Huns, even if Mao Dun and Xiang Yu fail to catch none of them this time, he must withdraw his troops, otherwise he can only consume all the cavalry of Daqin in this battle, in that case, Yinggao will obviously not spare him, and it is likely that he will be affected together with Meng Tian in the end.
Although the number of people did not have any advantage, relying on the huge advantage in stirrups and equipment, the Qin soldiers still had a certain upper hand in the battle with the Xiongnu just after leaving the Great Wall.
But Zhang Han and Sima Xin, who were leading the army to fight, both knew that it would be difficult to hold out until dawn in such a situation, because once the Qin soldiers lost their physical strength, the advantage of the Huns in numbers would be revealed, and at that time, things would not be very good.
Mao Dun looked at the current battle situation, although he was still a little distressed because of the loss of the Hun cavalry, but at least the situation had been reversed, and it was no longer his own side struggling to resist the other party's sneak attack, but a contest of equal strength.
But what Mao Dun never understood was why the Great Qin generals in it had to chase him out, relying on the hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers, naturally he couldn't wipe out all the soldiers and horses he brought, let alone catch or kill him.
Mao Dun looked at Qin Bing, who was very brave and had no intention of retreating at all, and his head spun rapidly.
"Shan Yu! Not far away, our scouts actually found Meng Tian's handsome banner that was supposed to be stationed in Shangjun, and it should be that there should be 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry, rushing in the direction of our army! ”
Just when the sky was already a little bit brighter, Maudun finally received a message that made his eyes light up, and as soon as the news reached Maudun's ears, his eyes lit up.
"Those Qin soldiers followed us closely, it was precisely because Meng Tian was also leading the army to rush here, this guy must have wanted to fight with the Qin soldiers in the territory of Great Qin, if it wasn't for our timely response and retreat from the territory of Great Qin, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Mao Dun said to a few of his cronies, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.
"Shan Yu, what should I do at this time?"
"You and a large number of soldiers are still here to resist these Qin soldiers, and they are distributed to 50,000 horses, today, it is the death of Meng Tian, who is known as the god of war in the territory of Great Qin!"
If you want to say who has the deepest hatred among the Xiongnu generals of Great Qin, it goes without saying that it is Meng Tian, who is called the god of war by the Qin people, the Xiongnu soldiers who died in the hands of Meng Tian, and the leaders of large and small tribes, which are almost impossible to count, the Huns are almost never won in the frontal battle with Meng Tian, this matter is always a great shame in Mao Dun's heart, he has been waiting for a day, he can have a duel with Meng Tian, not only can he directly kill Meng Tian in the war, It can also make its status among the Huns to a higher level.
And now, this opportunity has obviously come, as soon as he heard that Meng Tian actually arrived at his own realm with twenty or thirty thousand horses, Mao Dun's confidence was even stronger, and he had to firmly control the credit of Meng Tian's death, and he must not fake it to anyone.
But Mao Dun obviously ignored one point, although he hated Meng Tian very much, but since he became a Xiongnu Shan Yu, he has not personally fought with Meng Tian even once, in his mind, Meng Tian's power may be similar to Xiang Yu, a person and a horse on the battlefield that can sweep countless existences, but obviously, what he thinks in his heart is wrong......
"What happened to the Hun army?" In one place, Meng Tian eagerly asked the scout who had just returned.
"Sure enough, just as the general had expected, a group of men and horses hurriedly moved in the direction where we were before!"
"How many cavalry?"
"No more than fifty thousand!"
As soon as he heard this return, Meng Tian waved his fist excitedly, he knew that at this time, even if he joined forces with Han Xin, it would definitely not be able to compare with the Huns to see whose fists were hard, they Daqin, they were from the Central Plains, relying on the art of war and wisdom, he believed that this was something that the Huns would never be able to compare, just like today......
In Daqin's Xianyang City, Yinggao was the mastermind behind this war, and when the war really began, he could only choose to wait for news in his own hall, and even many unimportant officials in the court did not know that Daqin was experiencing such a war.
Although Yinggao has always had high standards and strict requirements for Han Xin, he has always been quite good in his own heart, why did the Huns dare to come over, because they have two or three hundred thousand cavalry, that is two or three hundred thousand, not two or three thousand, then they all entered the territory of Daqin, and it should be imagined how much pressure Han Xin's men and horses will have.
So this time, his real purpose is not to catch Xiang Yu and Mao Dun, as long as he can consume most of the strength of the Huns, it will be a great victory.
The first news that Ying Gao got was that he sent to Shangjun to inform Meng Tian that Meng Tian had left Shangjun two days ago and went to the grassland of the Xiongnu, which made Ying Gao very puzzled, he didn't know how Meng Tian knew the news in advance, and he didn't know if Meng Tian was fooled, all he could do was to continue to wait.
Through this matter, Yinggao knew one thing, that is, this war is likely to give birth to many new changes, and these changes are all beyond his control, so Yinggao no longer looks forward to it, but shifts his focus to how to knead together with Xiao He and them to study Confucianism and Taoism.
Finally, a few days later, Yinggao got a piece of news, one that made him not quite believe his ears.
