At the same time that Han Xin led the army out of the pass and marched north, Meng Tian and Li Xin also swore in Jiuyuan, leading 50,000 light cavalry, 50,000 heavy cavalry, and 50,000 new-style infantry out of the pass and marching north, and rushed straight towards the central royal court of the Xiongnu

Ten days later, thousands of miles north of Jiuyuan, hundreds of miles south of the desert, by the Tuotuoer River!

At that time, it was evening, and the tents on both sides of the meandering Tuotuoer River were like rain and the lights were brilliant, and the 150,000 Qinxi Route Army was camped here, making preparations for crossing the sand sea!

At night, just after the three armies had eaten dinner, suddenly the commanders gathered in the camp and drums, and the generals and captains of the Qin army gathered in the commander's tent to discuss matters!

In this expedition, the Qin army on the western route took Meng Tian as the main commander, Li Xin as the deputy commander, Su Dai, Shejian, Wang Li, Weng Zhongtong light cavalry, Guan Ying and Guan Shi's five tiger heavy cavalry, Yingbu, Zhao Tuo, and Qiang Kui led the new infantry, which can be described as elite, the lineup is very luxurious, and it is obviously higher than the specifications of the East Route Army of Han Xin's department, just because their goal is the Xiongnu royal court!

For a time, dozens of generals and commanders were so spacious that their tents were full and popular!

Meng Tian glanced at the generals in the tent with great ambition, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, at present, our army has arrived at the Tuotuo'er River, the last large drinking water supply point before entering the desert, and further on is the endless sand sea that runs through six hundred miles. Just like the information obtained by our army before departure, the Xiongnu royal court army did not plan to go out of Mo Nan to fight a decisive battle with us at all, but was bent on stabilizing Mo Bei, waiting for our army to cross the 600 miles of sand sea and be exhausted and deal a fatal blow! What do the generals think about this?"

Hearing this, Yingbu got up and said: "General, our army has been preparing for today for four years, and the soldiers are not only skilled in bows and horses but also strong-willed, and the last general thinks that although our army has to cross six hundred miles of sand sea, it still has the strength to fight with the Huns. According to the report, the main force of the Xiongnu left in the royal court was probably between 12 and 140,000 people. Our army is not weak in the slightest, and we will never be afraid of it!"

Guan Ying also said: "Yes, all the war horses of our army are fed corn a month before the expedition, which can be said to be a lot of money!" The Huns think that we are powerless to cross the sand sea or that we are unable to fight again if we cross the sand sea, so let's let the Huns see that not only the Huns can endure hardships, but our Qin army can!"

The rest of the generals also asked for battle, all of them were high-spirited and fearless!

Meng Tian and Li Xin looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Good job, worthy of being my hot-blooded man in Daqin!" This time, His Majesty has devoted himself to winning this battle. The best horses, the best weapons, the best armor were prepared for us, and even the horses were given a month's worth of corn in advance to accumulate their strength to cross the desert. The country has made a lot of preparations and sacrifices for us soldiers, if we can't win, or even lose, how can we have the face to go back to our hometown and elders! Therefore, no matter how bitter, tired or drained of our blood this time, our Western Route Army must also let the Huns remember: this prairie is not just the backyard of the Huns, as long as we Qin people are willing, we can come and go freely at any time!"

"Victory!" When the generals heard this, their blood boiled and they shouted hard. The handsome tent was a little trembling!

Meng Tian was overjoyed when he saw that the army's heart was available, and continued: "General Ben thinks that as soon as he enters the sand sea. It is possible to formally encounter the Hun army at any time, so a few military rules were announced in advance. This is what Your Majesty meant, and this is what General Li and I me!

First, when encountering the Hun army, the officers and men of our army must swear to kill the enemy, and those who dare to retreat without an order. According to my Great Qin's iron-blooded military regulations, all of them were beheaded; After the war, our army did not want a single prisoner of the Huns, and killed them all.

Second, in order to reduce some of the burden on the country, it will be a war with the Xiongnu in the future. You don't have to abide by the rules of not disturbing the people in the country, and you can implement the three-light policy in the territory of the Xiongnu: killing, burning, and robbing. That is, all the Huns soldiers and civilians, regardless of women and children, were killed, all the property of the Huns was robbed, and all the things that could not be taken away were burned.

Got it?"

The generals were stunned at first when they heard this, but then they were overjoyed: the Qin army was originally very tyrannical and fierce, and in the past when they were fighting in the Kwantung region, they often staged a big drama of slaughtering cities and looting. Now as soon as I heard that there were no taboos, this made the generals happy, and they were all planning to grab a big deal, and even the backward generals such as Yingbu and Guan Ying couldn't help but think about it!

Li Xin saw the overjoyed appearance of everyone, poured a basin of cold water on everyone, and said: "Don't be busy with happiness first, we first have to win the Hun royal army, and then we can snatch the spoils of war, but if anyone can't distinguish the priority, Hugh blames General Ben for his ruthless military law!"

Great Qin's Iron Law: During the battle, the generals who do not obey the military orders die; Whoever leaves the battle without permission and plunders property is killed; The generals died in battle, and the soldiers who dared to retreat died...... It can be described as iron-blooded, which is why the Qin army is fierce and fearless every time it fights to the death and never retreats! The generals were reminded by Li Xin, and immediately remembered the strict military regulations, and they all shuddered, and they didn't dare to make a sound!

Meng Tian saw that the crowd had calmed down, so he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's stop here today, let's break up!" The generals returned to the army and instructed the sergeants to be prepared, prepare more drinking water and dry food, and ensure a successful crossing of the sand sea!" Whoa!" The generals shouted and retreated in turn!

At noon the next day, the Qin army was all ready, and the 150,000-strong army began to enter the boundless huge sea of sand. He was accompanied by 5,000 chariots transporting grain and Wugang, 100,000 sturdy mules, and 50,000 spare horses loaded with supplies. And behind this army, the 200,000 Qin troops in the Northern Plains are working day and night to provide them with strong supply support!

At the same time, the accurate intelligence of the Qin army was constantly detected by the Huns, and it continued to cross the six hundred miles of sand sea to the royal court!

On the afternoon of this day, Zhao Shengji's left and right big families and left and right bones were in urgent deliberations!

Zhao Sheng pointed to the map and said: "Generals, our army has just reported that the Qin army is not only the 100,000 cavalry we predicted in advance, but also an additional infantry of about 50,000 people. According to the reconnaissance, this infantry escorted a large number of grain and grass carts, and it should be the accompanying logistics troops. But. It's a bit strange that there are so many logistics troops directly with the army!"

The Left Bone Duhou Ahu'er said: "Military Division, I don't think it's too strange, if the Qin army didn't have strong logistics support, it would be almost impossible to successfully cross the six hundred miles of sand sea, so it is not unusual for the Qin army to have a large number of logistics troops!"

Zhao Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too!" It seems that the Qin army is well-prepared and blood-soaked for this campaign! However, due to the slight change in the hostile situation. Therefore, the deployment of our army should also be relatively adjusted! I suggested that 50,000 elite light cavalry, each with four war horses, and sufficient dry food and drinking water, should be mobilized to directly attack the infantry at the rear of the Qin army. Just take out most of these infantry. The grain and grass are burned. Looking for those cavalry of the Qin army, it is six hundred miles of sand sea, how can they fight a decisive battle with our army, and they will starve to death if they are hungry!"

The generals nodded and said, "Then what if the cavalry of the Qin army in front of you quickly comes back to help?" Our army was only 50,000 and once surrounded. I'm afraid I'm going to see the Great Kunlun God!"

Zhao Sheng said: "According to the reconnaissance, the Qin army is at the forefront of the light cavalry, and if they want to come back, I am afraid that they will have to rush for more than ten miles after getting the news." At least an hour of reaction time! And the heavy cavalry walking in the team are good at short sprints, not good at long-distance running, waiting for them to get the news and rush to come. I'm afraid it will take an hour! Therefore, we only need to kill most of the Qin army's broken infantry within an hour, and at that time, with the speed of our army's four war horses riding in turn, the Qin army's cavalry will only have to eat ashes behind!"

The generals were overjoyed when they heard this. They all nodded yes. Zhao Sheng said with a smile: "Then it's decided, I don't know which two generals are willing to lead the troops?" Zuo Da Danghu rubbed his hands and said: "I'll go, there has been no battle in the past two years, but it suffocated me to death." This time, I want to let the barbarians of the Qin State taste the power of my Great Huns!" The right big man also said: "Since the left big man goes, then I'll go too!" It just so happens that the two of us have a tacit understanding!"

"Good!" Zhao Sheng nodded and said: "Then Zhao is waiting for the good news of the two generals, and after Da Dan Yu returns victoriously, he will ask for credit for the two of them!" Then we'll leave right away!" The left big danghu is anxious, and he can't sit still at the moment, so he pulls the right big danghu out to order troops!

Immediately, the hooves on the royal court roared, endlessly, that night, 50,000 Xiongnu elite drove 200,000 war horses to the 600 miles of sand sea, the target - Qin army infantry!

The vast sea of sand is endless, although it is far away, but in addition to the yellow sand or yellow sand, it is full of sadness and loneliness! At this time, although it is late autumn, the sun is burning overhead, but the sun clearly tells you that there is no autumn here.

The blazing sun is scorching, roasting the ground steaming, occasionally from the sand and rocks to drill out of the ground, weeds and poplars are also hanging their heads in the windless environment, looking weak!

On the road where the Qin army was advancing, except for the occasional small animals such as sand scorpions and sand geckos, it was almost lifeless, and the bones of people and animals that could often be seen on the side of the road verified the horror and sinister nature of this 'sea of death'!

Yingbu, Qiang Kui, and Zhao Tuo led 50,000 infantry to trek in this scorching hot steamer for five days, although the soldiers of the Qin army prepared sufficient drinking water and anti-heatstroke medicine, but they were still tossed enough by this terrible sea of sand, and their originally strong bodies looked much more capable and capable. It is also covered in sand and dust. But fortunately, they were well prepared, but there were not many people who were left behind due to illness, and the morale of the soldiers was still very uplifted, and their morale was still high!

Qin Jun's hardship and perseverance can be seen in general!.

Walking in front of the army, Yingbu took out the water bladder from the horse's belly and drank it again, Qiang Kui saw it and said: "General Ying, I grew up near the northern desert since I was a child, and I am quite familiar with this sea of sand. This water should not be drunk in large gulps all the time, but should be drunk slowly, preferably once an hour or so, to quench your thirst; At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the salt supplement, otherwise it is easy to lose strength!"

Yingbu was stunned and said: "I don't know about this, I will ask the soldiers to pay more attention!" Qiang Kui smiled: "No need, there are many ethnic minority soldiers in the army, many of them are from the sandy land of Shangjun and the vicinity of the quicksand sea in the Western Regions, with them as a demonstration, the soldiers should know how to do it!" Why, you were okay for the first two days. Now I think about drinking water all the time, I can't help it?"

Yingbu smiled embarrassedly and said: "It's not just marching all day long, and looking at this cookie-cutter sea of sand, it's boring and suffocating, and I always want to find something to do, so I always think about drinking water!" It is estimated that this kid in Zhao Tuo must be very stuffy at the end of the team!" Qiang Kui laughed and said: "Don't worry, I guess after the sand sea, the Huns will line up to cut it, and you will be killed softly!" Yingbu laughed!

Suddenly, a scout from the east came galloping on horseback. A splash of dust was raised from behind: "Report to General ——, Ying, General Qiang, the big thing is not good, I found a large number of Hun cavalry rapidly approaching our army ten miles away, it is estimated that it is now five miles away, please make a decision quickly!"

Yingbu was shocked when he heard this, looked directly at Qiang Kui, and said sarcastically: "You are really a crow's mouth!" Qiang Kui glared when he heard this: "my!" When someone came, he immediately ordered the three armies to quickly form a military formation according to each lieutenant; And also. Immediately send messengers to the front and middle armies, and let them come to their aids quickly!" Whoa!" Two messengers for help are now rushing forward!

At the same time, the rapid and distant sound of warning drums and trumpets sounded rapidly in the desert. The desert is empty, and it is conducive to the conduction of sound, almost instantaneously. The Qin soldiers, who were originally rushing away, woke up in shock, and in an instant, the wheels were rolling and people were shouting and neighing. Originally, the Qin army was a little lazy, and they were as busy as if they had taken stimulants.

Soon, the 50,000 new infantry of the Qin army formed five huge Wugang vehicle formations according to their respective positions and formations, and lined up along the marching road. And as soon as the Qin army completed the formation, the Huns on the horizon were overwhelming, and the subway riders were already rolling up huge smoke and dust, and they could see the banner if they were close!

Immediate time. Behind the huge Wugang car formation, a hearty shout sounded: "Attention single crossbowmen: the arrow is wound, the six-grid line is on the line, ready to fire!" Immediately, there was a busy sound behind Wu Gang's car formation, and the Qin army's single crossbowmen quickly completed their combat preparations!

At this moment, suddenly, the Hun soldiers, who were approaching rapidly, invariably stopped, and stayed about 600 steps outside the Qin army's Wugang car formation, because their two people, the left big man and the right big boss, were looking at the five huge circle formations of the Qin army in front of them in a daze!

"Strange, what does Qin Jun mean by this? Surrounded by a circle of cars, and the outside of this vehicle is full of sharp blades, do you think that you can stop my Hun iron cavalry with this?" Timur, the head of the left, was a little puzzled.

Kun Mo, the right big pawn, said impatiently: "These Qin army foot soldiers are capable of this, could it be that you were frightened by them!?" If we don't attack quickly, when the main force of the Qin army comes, we won't have a chance!"

Timur said angrily, "Whoever is afraid, see who breaks this bullshit circle formation first!" Now, I'll attack the first, you attack the second, and the other three will be handed over to the three lieutenants, what do you think?" Kun Mo nodded and said, "That's it!" The order was immediately issued, and immediately, there was a commotion in the huge Hun cavalry formation of soldiers and horses.

Soon, the horn of the attack was blown in the Hun army, and the 50,000 Hun cavalry was also divided into five teams, shouting and rushing over! Suddenly, the sound of hooves rolled, like thunder, and a huge cloud of smoke rolled up like a flat ground and covered the Qin army's vehicle array!

This astonishing momentum made the Qin army's foot soldiers nervous for a while, after all, most of these people had never fought with the Hun soldiers, and at that moment, the hole shrank rapidly, sweating all over their bodies, and they clenched the weapons in their hands tightly, waiting for the commanders' orders!

Near, five hundred steps......

Closer, four hundred steps......

Closer, three hundred steps!

Suddenly, after Qin Junwu had just formed a car formation, a loud roar sounded: "Release!"

Suddenly, a dense black rain rose from the sky above the huge circular array, emitting a piercing strange scream, and fiercely pounced on the Hun army!

"Pounce, pounce, pounce, pounce...... 10,000 stainless steel arrows rushed into the galloping Hun cavalry array, and immediately countless Hun soldiers and war horses neighed miserably, and fell to the ground at the same time in blooming with bloody blood flowers. Behind them, the Hun cavalry, which squall like a flood, immediately drowned these unlucky compatriots under the hooves of the rain!

The wind and sand flew and the dust rose, and the pungent bloody aura spread rapidly in the air in an instant, adding wisps of dead souls to the sand sea that had covered countless corpses and bones for thousands of years!

Quickly, the second round of arrows of the Qin army came to the sky, and the Hun army that was rushing forward was suddenly hit again, and in a piercing scream, thousands of Hun cavalry and war horses were accurately shot by arrows and fell into the iron hooves of the forest!

Timur saw that in just these two rounds of arrows, at least 5,000 of the Xiongnu army were ruthlessly and accurately shot to the ground. couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and roared: "Abominable Qin people! The warriors of the Great Huns, smash their chariot formations and tear the Qin people to pieces!" The Hun soldiers were all brave and unscrupulous, and they were also very angry at the 'despicable' behavior of the Qin army, shouting and screaming and rushing to kill!

However, one hundred and fifty steps away, the Huns were again 'baptized' by the third round of arrow curtains of the Qin army: the wails of the cavalry and the sorrowful screams of the war horses desperately tore the air, and in an instant, the already tragic and desolate sea of sand added a terrible blood color! However, the advance of the Huns did not stop. Because this is the banner of a fierce army that followed Mao Dun out of the mountain of blood and corpses, there is no advance or retreat!

"Attention crossbowmen, three-grid alignment, ready-release!" Watching the Huns frantically approach the Iron Tribulus Array, an even more intense roar sounded behind the huge Wugang car formation!

Immediately, it was not enough, a huge arrow curtain ten times denser than just now rose behind the Qin army, and as many as 100,000 arrows were released in this round of salvo, just imagine, what a spectacular scene this is!

The Huns were rushing in a rage. As soon as he opened his short bow for assault, he suddenly felt the sky darken, and he looked up in unison. Suddenly he was stunned, and his face was colorless: he saw a huge and dense curtain of arrows in the sky, so dense that it seemed to completely cover the sky, and let out a deafening scream and swooped down on him. For a time, the Hun soldiers had the illusion that 'the sky had fallen'!

Between the lightning and flint, the huge arrow curtain, no. Or rather, a huge wall of arrows fell from the sky intensively, and in an instant, the Hun soldiers who entered within one hundred and fifty steps of the Qin army were ruthlessly swept away!

Steeply, as if it had been replayed countless times, tens of thousands of Hun cavalry and war horses let out a huge neighing sound and were shot to the ground like a thorn. The terrible intensity was like a small earthquake, which shook the ground and shook violently, stirring up a large area of yellow sand and smoke!

Kun Mo, the right big man who was charging ahead, couldn't dodge, and was also shot to death by the Qin army's random arrows in this desolate sea of sand in his frightened eyes!

Seeing the momentum, Timur quickly raised the light shield in his hand, but he was still hit by four arrows, one in the shoulder, one in the thigh, and two in the horse. So, in the miserable wailing of the war horse, Timur was mercilessly thrown down on the blazing sand sea like a heavy sandbag!

"Bang——!。 With a strong loud bang, Timur only felt that his waist and head seemed to be stabbed into the ground by two sharp knives at the moment of touching the ground, and there was a sharp pain in the bones.

For a while, from one hundred and fifty steps in front of the Qin army's formation, it was like casting a huge wall of death like pillowing the corpses of tens of thousands of Hun soldiers and war horses, it was really blurred and red, this terrible scene was not much more than the blood sea hell, so that the subsequent Hun soldiers were shocked and scattered!

In fact, these Hun soldiers have not seen so many dead people, but they have never seen tens of thousands of people killed by the arrow curtain in such a short instant, this huge power is simply beyond the imagination of the Huns, reaching a point that makes the gods fearful! As a result, these Huns, who had always regarded death as nothing, became timid and cowardly, and they were struck down by the greater fear of death trained by the ruthless Ming Arrow!

"Huh-" Coincidentally, the surviving Hun soldiers basically chose to quickly rein in their horses, quickly turn their heads, and then beat their horses wildly and galloped wildly, making up their minds to leave this place of death cursed by the devil!

"Hahaha! Joyfully! Happy!" Yingbu and Qiang Kui were so happy in the first Wugang car formation that they danced with their hands and were so happy that they almost grinned with joy! Although they all knew that Wu Gang's car formation was infinitely powerful, they didn't expect it to be so majestic in actual combat!

"The crossbowmen pause, the single crossbowmen shoot one more round, the light cavalry prepares!" Immediately, a roar of ecstasy sounded behind Qin Junwugang's car, which was the proud and proud declaration of the captains of each lieutenant!

Yingbu came to his senses and laughed and said, "Brothers, the Huns have broken through their bitter courage and fled!" Let's go, let's kill his mother with Lao Tzu!" As he spoke, he turned over his horse and prepared to attack with the thousand cavalry in the first circle!

Qiang Kui was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "Hey." So what should I do?" Yingbu laughed and said, "General Qiang, let's wait until your weight won't exhaust the war horse!"

Immediately, the Qin army's single crossbowmen launched another round of surprise attacks, and the remnants of the Huns who had just turned around were fiercely torn off a piece of flesh!

Immediately afterwards, five huge circular formations quickly cracked a passage, and five thousand Qin cavalry came out of the formation, their horses were all equipped with horseshoes made of stainless steel, and they were not afraid of the spikes of the thistle, and in an instant, they swept through the iron thistle array, and chased after the remnants of the Huns who had been frightened and had no desire to fight!

Looking at the back of Yingbu riding away wildly. Qiang Kui wow wow screamed, and a mace smashed the sea of sand in front of him into a small pit! At the same time, he looked at his three war horses that were still crushed and weak although they took turns to change cars, and he had a great sense of 'hating iron does not become steel'!

Suddenly, the smoke and dust in the north billowed and the drums and trumpets soared into the sky, and countless heavy armored cavalry of the Qin army came. Li Xinjin, the leader of the team, couldn't help but be stunned when he arrived at the terrible scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and then looked at the almost intact Wugang car formation and the Qin army foot soldiers who were jumping around and were also dumbfounded. It just so happened that there was a puff of smoke and dust in the north, and Meng Tianhuo also led 50,000 light horsemen to roll back and come to reinforcements, and waited to take a closer look. Also dumbfounded!

At this moment, Qiang Kui stepped forward angrily, and Meng Tian asked, "Where is the Hun army?" Qiang Kui pursed his lips and said, "I was frightened by a round of crossbowmen's fierce shots, and I fled every day." The British general led 5,000 troops in pursuit!"

"And how many casualties did our army have?" Li Xin hurriedly asked again. Qiang Kui blinked his eyes and touched his skull with his big hand. I looked around, and said a little smugly: "There can be one hundred and eighty, most of them were injured by the Huns' stray arrows, but it is estimated that few died!"

Meng Tian and Li Xin looked at each other. It's wrong for a while: kill tens of thousands of enemies, and lose 100 yourself, this disparity is too big!

After a long time, Gu Xin suddenly became happy: "Okay." Good! This battle was fought beautifully, this bad idea to rob my infantry must have been thought up by Zhao Sheng, the traitorous bastard, but this time he stole a handful of rice and knocked out two big teeth!" The crowd laughed!

Meng Tian also smiled and said: "General Li, you and General Qiang will stay and clean up the battlefield, and I will lead the troops to reinforce General Ying, so as not to lose him!" Good!" Li Xin nodded!

Meng Tian had just given the order to lead the troops and was about to march eastward, when a cloud of smoke and dust billowed in the eastern sky, a black-armored elite rode upside down. The leading one will be energetic and proud, and at the place where the horse is crossed, who is it not Yingbu!

"General Meng, General Li!" Yingbu came to the front of everyone, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "The last general led the troops to pursue the Huns, beheaded more than 3,000 people, and returned with a great victory!"

Meng Tian laughed and said, "Good fight! This battle has played the prestige of our Qin army, and I see if the Huns will dare to fight our army's foot soldiers in the future!" The generals laughed!

Soon, the thistle terrestris array was recovered, hundreds of thousands of arrow clusters were also recovered, and the results of the battle were completed in the evening: it was a battle, a total of more than 26,000 Xiongnu soldiers were killed, more than 3,000 seriously wounded soldiers were captured, and more than 5,000 horses that could be used were collected. The Qin army lost seven people in battle, 24 were seriously wounded, and 58 were lightly wounded, basically all of them were wounded by a small number of Huns strong archers with random arrows!

That night, the Qin army was ordered to behead more than 3,000 seriously wounded and captives of the Xiongnu in the desert, and the dead bodies were abandoned in the wilderness, and no one buried them!

The court of the Huns!

On this day, Zhao Sheng was dealing with some military affairs in this account, and he was also thinking about the 50,000 elite horsemen sent to turn around, when he suddenly heard a thunderous sound outside the tent, and when he was about to stand up, a personal soldier rushed in: "Report to the military division, the military horse sent out is back!"

Zhao Sheng laughed and said, "Let's go, go and welcome my warriors who have returned from the victory of the Great Huns!" The soldiers were stunned, they didn't dare to say anything they wanted to say, they just followed Zhao Sheng out of the big tent step by step!

As soon as he came out of the big tent, Zhao Sheng was suddenly stunned, and his face was distorted in horror: the original 50,000 Hun cavalry who were like dragons and tigers were now cut off in half like a piece of cake, and the rest were also slanted in armor, tired and depressed, and even many people were wounded, completely looking like a remnant of a defeated general!

"How so? 50,000 cavalry can't win against 50,000 infantry?" Zhao Shengzhi was stunned!

At this time, the two surviving lieutenants stepped forward like defeated roosters and knelt on one knee: "Military division, our army was ordered to attack the logistics infantry of the Qin army, and they were defeated and returned, and the big men on the left and right were not in the chaos of arrows, if we didn't run fast, I'm afraid none of them would come back!"

"How so!?" Zhao Sheng clenched his fists and howled. His eyes were as red as a hungry and furious wolf! The two lieutenants were suddenly frightened and silent, lest one of the military divisions be unhappy, so they ordered to pull themselves down and click!

After a long time, Zhao Sheng calmed down, gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, go and invite the left and right bones!" Wounded sergeants go down to rest and recuperate, and you two waste will come with me!" Yes, Strategist!" The two captains looked at each other, and they were glad that they didn't have to die this time!

Soon. The left and right bones heard the news, and they also rushed forward out of breath. The two of them opened the tent and entered, and Ahul roared urgently: "Military advisor, what's the matter!?" I heard that the 50,000 troops sent out were not only defeated and returned, but also lost the big bosses on the left and right, what is going on?"

Zhao Sheng said with a gloomy face: "You sit down first!" Then he turned to the two lieutenants and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The two lieutenants stammered, frightened and frightened, and recounted the unusually tragic battle in the past, and the terrible scene made Zhao Sheng and the other three people also terrified and swallowed their spit!

After listening, Zhao Sheng was a little dumbfounded and said, "Miscalculation, miscalculation!" I didn't expect those Qin army foot soldiers to be so powerful. What kind of logistics supply force is this, I think it's stronger than those sharp heavy cavalry combat power. I wanted to hit the weakest enemy, but I hit the strongest enemy, how can I not be defeated!"

Ahul was also dumbfounded: "Military advisor." I really can't figure it out: then the infantry of the Qin State is only 50,000, and the normal ratio is at most 20,000 crossbowmen. How can you shoot a wave of hundreds of thousands of arrows!?"

Zhao Sheng sighed when he heard this: "But this is the case, if it weren't for the Qin army having such a powerful crossbowmen, even if our army's 50,000 iron cavalry were ambushed by the Qin army's 100,000 cavalry, I'm afraid they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!" I know. The crossbow technology of the Qin army was very advanced, not only the single crossbow used by the army on a large scale, but also a small number of repeater crossbows that could fire three arrows in a row. It is not impossible to invent a more powerful and practical repeater now, otherwise there would never have been such a dense curtain of arrows in a salvo! It's a pity. Our army doesn't even know it!"

The right bone Duhou said worriedly: "Military division, our army will lose 30,000 troops in this battle alone, and the morale is low, and now the remaining army is only 100,000; And the Qin army still has 150,000, and with such a powerful crossbow to help, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to have a chance of winning!"

Ahu'er said: "Yes, I think if our army fights the Qin army head-on again, the remaining 100,000 soldiers will not be enough for the Qin army to fire a few rounds of salvos with crossbowmen!"

Zhao Sheng stood up with a gloomy face, walked around the tent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Now that the situation has changed, the intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Qin army on the edge of the sand sea is no longer possible, so it must be adjusted quickly!" I estimate that the Qin army will be able to go out of the Sand Sea either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and the royal court is only a hundred miles away from the sand sea, and the light cavalry will arrive in one day, so the royal court and his subordinates must immediately move north to avoid the enemy's edge!

At the same time, a large number of light cavalry was sent to sneak into the sand sea again to attack the Qin army's logistics supply troops and cut off their grain routes. The main force of our army also slowly retreated to Mobei, taking advantage of our army's advantage in maneuverability to always be separated from the Qin army by a distance of about 100 miles, and never engaged the Qin army head-on, gradually increasing the difficulty of the Qin army's supply. When the Qin army is exhausted and exhausted, no matter how strong his combat strength is, he will only be fish on the chopping board!

Of course, if this strategic intention still can't be realized, I'm afraid we will have to let Da Shan Yu return to the army and rescue the royal court as soon as possible!"

Ahu'er was shocked: "Military division, you have to send troops to sneak into the sand sea to attack the back of the Qin army!?" Isn't this looking for death, I just lost 30,000 soldiers from the Great Huns, but I can't send people to die!" The right bone Duhou also nodded again and again, and did not agree to send any more troops: in the face of such a powerful crossbow soldier of the Qin army, how many troops are not enough to fill it!

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng patiently explained: "Generals, you don't know: this repeater is not only expensive, but also has very high requirements for soldiers' arm strength, reaction speed, and archery skills, and it is impossible to equip it on a large scale!" Therefore, I estimate that there should not be many crossbowmen in the Qin army, and basically they should be among the 50,000 infantry with the main force, and there should be no crossbowmen in the rest of the subsequent logistics troops, so you can rest assured!"

The left and right princes looked at each other, and they still felt uneasy, and they shook their heads, and said in their hearts: "More than half of the armies of the left and right big families have been defeated, and even I am dead, if this military division miscalculates again, I will not have to lose my own money!"

Zhao Sheng was so anxious that he continued: "Two generals, if you are still not at ease, so be it, the remaining armies of most of the left and right capitals will be temporarily organized under your command and mixed into two new armies. Then ten teams of 3,000 men each were drawn from it to sneak into the sea of sand. In this way, there are old subordinates of the big households on the left and right to guide you, if you find that there are car formations and crossbowmen in this Qin army's logistics troops, you should not attack and retreat quickly; If not, annihilate it. Don't worry, although the Qin army's chariot array and crossbowmen are powerful, they are short of mobility, and if our army retreats, they can't help us!"

The left and right bones looked at each other, feeling that they were barely acceptable. He nodded!

That night, the Xiongnu royal court pulled out the camp overnight, and hundreds of thousands of troops and troops began to move to the depths of the Mobei grassland. At the same time, 30,000 Hun light cavalry once again dived into the sand sea in batches. Start attacking the grain routes of the Qin army!

On this day, the north of the sand sea, the land of the desert north!

Although the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army who walked out of the Haohan Sand Sea looked tired, they could not hide the excitement and pride on their faces: since ancient times, the Chinese army has been deterred by the face of this vast sand sea. But now they have successfully crossed this natural barrier with determination and fearlessness, and what a 'madness' that kind of heartfelt excitement!

Meng Tian looked at the yellow sand for ten days, and finally saw the green grassland and the blue sky again, and the excitement in his heart was also surging. Shen Sheng ordered: "Immediately send out a scout, sentinel on all sides to probe the whereabouts of the Hun army and find a water source, and the rest of the soldiers will temporarily rest on the spot, but they must not leave the saddle and the soldiers, and be ready to engage at any time!" Whoa!" A sergeant quickly passed the order to go!

That night, after the Qin army marched north for more than ten miles, they set up camp next to a clear river, although the weather was already a little cold, but the soldiers still threw themselves into the stream and washed the dust of the servants these days!

In the evening, Meng Tian gathered again with the generals to discuss the matter.

Meng Tian pointed to the sand table in front of him and said: "Generals, according to the previous expedition, there is no trace of the Huns within dozens of miles nearby, and the eyes are continuing to explore forward!" According to my estimate, the Huns are now afraid of our army, especially the bitter gall of the crossbow, so they retreated without a fight and are fleeing to the depths of Mobei! Generals, what do you think about this?"

Ying Bu said: "General, I don't think this Zhao Sheng will stop here, he is mostly a retreat, there must be another future!" Our army must not be overlooked!" Oh, what conspiracy does General Naying think this Zhao Sheng will have waiting for us?" Meng Tian also agreed with Yingbu's judgment.

Yingbu thought for a while and said: "It's nothing more than two situations: first, send troops to cut off my food route, our army will have no food, and it will inevitably collapse without a fight; Second, if you want to lead our army into the depths of Mobei, increase the difficulty of our army's supply, and then launch an attack on our army when our army is exhausted, maybe Zhao Sheng has only one, maybe both! I wonder what the generals think?"

Everyone thought about it and nodded yes. Guan Ying said: "Yes, at present, this is the only strategy that the Hun army can regain its disadvantage, it seems that this Zhao Sheng is still quite shrewd!" As soon as I saw that the wind was wrong, I immediately adjusted my deployment!"

Qiang Kui was a little strange and said: "This Zhao Sheng still dares to send troops to attack my grain road again, he is not afraid of crossbowmen?" Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "This Zhao Sheng is very familiar with the situation of my Qin State, and knows that crossbowmen are not so easy to equip and train!" He must be able to estimate that there should be no crossbowmen in our army's logistics troops, and it is very likely that they will attack our grain route again!"

Li Xin frowned when he heard this, and said: "This is very difficult, I think it is very likely that this Zhao Shengdi is deceitful and can use both!" But these two tactics are just poking at the soft flank of our army's lack of mobility and long supplies, and it is very difficult to deal with!" When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, and their faces were also embarrassed, and they had no good plan for a while!

Suddenly, he said: "Generals, there is a plan to keep my grain safe for the time being, I don't know if I should talk about it!" Meng Tianxi said: "If there is a good plan, just say it!" Guan Ying said: "Aren't the Hun soldiers afraid of our army's crossbowmen, then our army might as well draw out a crossbowmen, each equipped with three horses and arrows, and act together with the logistics troops!" If an enemy horse attacked, the crossbowmen quickly dismounted and lined up the grain carts. Then use a repeater to return fire fiercely at the enemy. In this way, although it is not as strong and complete as the Wugang car formation, it is enough for the last general to deal with the general small group of Hun soldiers; Even if a large number of Hun soldiers attack, they can fight enough to prevent them from succeeding easily. After the Hun army hits its head a few times and breaks the bloodstream, it will be honest!"

Meng Tian nodded frequently when he heard this: "Not bad, not bad!" I estimate that after the Huns were heavily damaged, there would not be too many troops to be sent to the middle of the sand sea, and they would be divided into multiple shares, so there would be only three or four thousand people per share at most! If each of our grain teams is escorted by 200 crossbowmen, we can fire two rounds of 4,000 arrows before the Huns break through into the grain array. It is estimated that such a density will also make the Huns have a good time to weigh and weigh! Okay, that's it, General Ying, you immediately send 2,000 companies of crossbowmen to form ten food protection teams, and then the logistics troops will move!" Yes, General!" Yingbu commanded!

The generals are much more relieved this time, at least there will be no major problems in logistics for the time being, but if the Xiongnu always avoid the war, the Qin army will continue to go deep into Mobei, which is still very dangerous. So after a moment of joy, the generals frowned a little!

Meng Tian stared at the sand table and was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "There is!" Li Xin was overjoyed and said, "Will the plan be released?"

Meng Tian said murderously: "Although the mobility of our army is not as good as that of the Hun army. But it's always much faster than the movement speed of the various departments of the Xiongnu royal court, so. I suggest that our army temporarily abandon the search for the main force of the Xiongnu army and pursue the various divisions of the Xiongnu royal court with all its might. I want to see if when our army kills the Xiongnu tribes, the Xiongnu army can still hold back!

Of course. If the main force of the Hun army is not out of the ground, General Ben still has a way. More than 500 miles northwest is the ancestral land of Longting, if the Huns still refuse to fight a decisive battle with our army, we will send troops to attack Longting. I dug up the ancestral graves of the Huns, dug up the bones of the Xiongnu Shan Yu and the nobles of the past dynasties, and broke the bones and scattered ashes, I want to see if they can go to war!"

The generals shuddered when they heard this, and said in their hearts: "Killing its people, digging up its ancestral graves, and forcing the Huns to fight a decisive battle, this General Meng is really ruthless!"

Weng Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, good, it's exactly what I want!" Just robbed those Hun tribes, supplied the military, the Huns robbed our back road, and we also robbed them! Of course, it's best that those Huns are willing to fight a decisive battle with our army, let me have a good kill!"

Meng Tian glanced at the generals and said, "Do the generals have any objections?" The generals looked at it and shook their heads, although this is not very authentic, but in order to force the main force of the Hun army out, there is only one way to do it at present!

Seeing that the generals had no objections, Meng Tian thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, then the generals will listen to me!" General Li Xin, you lead 50,000 heavy cavalry and 20,000 infantry to advance to the northwest, mainly to attack the Xiongnu Longting, if it is not necessary, do not attack other Xiongnu tribes, so as not to delay time. I believe that if the main force of the Huns attacks your department, with the help of the Wugang car formation, your department should be able to achieve victory!" Whoa!" Li Xin received the order.

"The rest of the generals followed this general to the north, mainly attacking the various departments of the Xiongnu royal court, implementing the three-light policy, and forcing the main force of the Xiongnu army to fight a decisive battle with me! With the strength of our army's 50,000 light cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers, we should not be afraid of the Huns! Of course, the two route armies should pay attention to watching and helping each other, and never be too far away from separation! Do you get it?" Understood, General!" The crowd will rise!

Immediately, the Qin army divided its troops into two routes, one to the northwest and the other to the north, and pounced fiercely!

Mobei grassland, beacon fire again!

Three days later, 300 miles north of the desert and more than 100 miles north of Qi'er Lake, the Bu'er Buhua Department of the Xiongnu royal court camped.

There are about 50,000 Xiongnu tribesmen in this camp, mostly the old and the young, and the huge camp is parked with countless heavy axle wagons, loaded with tents, tables, beds, bedding and other things.

The home of the steppe people is very simple, and they can often be pulled away with one or two ox carts, so their migration is very convenient, but the biggest difference between them and the Hun army is that the Hun army is all a number of horses, coming and going like the wind; However, although the migration of the Xiongnu tribesmen is very convenient, they can travel at most seventy or eighty miles a day, after all, this ox cart is not as fast as the galloping horse!

In the evening, the sky over the camp began to be bustling with the old men and the oxen that were used to pull the carts, the women were busy making fires and cooking, and the children were wrestling and playing with each other. For a while, the huge camp was filled with smoke and noise, and it was a beautiful scene of peace and tranquility!

Suddenly, the earth began to tremble slightly, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the southern sky. The Huns were immediately stunned, and they all looked south: a huge black line suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance. It was a huge phalanx of tens of thousands of black-armored cavalry!

There was a sudden chaos in the Hun camp: "Oh no, the Qin army is here!" Run! "All of a sudden, the belongings that had just been unloaded from the ox cart were loaded up one after another, and countless women and children were crying and screaming and scurrying around, and the whole camp was a mess!

Just when the Xiongnu tribesmen were hurriedly packing up their belongings and fleeing for their lives, the huge light cavalry phalanx of the Qin army had already been killed. Almost didn't bother to put the crossbow arrows, a large number of Qin cavalry broke into the camp viciously, a pair of blood-red eyes under the black-faced beast-faced helmet were full of strong murderous aura, and with this murderous aura madly vented was the snow-bright sword light and the chilling gunfire!

Immediately, the iron rode through. The camp was full of blood, corpses and pillows, and most of the Huns, who were old and young, women and children, had no power to resist, and were all slaughtered by the Qin army. And a small number of Hun cavalry in the defending area were bubbled up like a wave in the sea, and they were swept away without a trace by the Qin army!

Under the beautiful sunset, the old man, the young woman, and the young children wailed, cried, and begged for mercy in horror in the bloody rain, but the Qin army, which could kill sexually, had already become very crazy, and they killed people when they saw them, robbed them when they saw them, and set fire to them everywhere, turning the originally peaceful and peaceful huge camp into a hell of blood and fire!

Gradually, it was difficult to see a living Hun on the huge camp, and the Qin army, which was full of private pockets, shouted loudly and set a fire and roared away!

Within three days. A total of six tribes of the Xiongnu royal court were ruthlessly slaughtered by the Qin army, a total of more than 200,000 Xiongnu tribesmen were killed, and countless gold, silver, cattle, sheep, and war horses were captured by the Qin army. Time. The Xiongnu tribes were all terrified, and they traveled day and night. Crazy escape to the north!

The news of the Qin army's slaughter quickly reached the ears of the main force of the Xiongnu army, who were wandering the grassland, waiting for the opportunity, and the Xiongnu soldiers were angry, and they gathered in front of the tent. Ask for a fight to the death with the Qin army to protect your own family!

But Zhao Sheng knew that if he went to war at this time, he would inevitably fall into the tricks of the Qin army, and there would be more than one luck. Therefore, he and the left and right bones all tried their best to appease the soldiers and tried their best to suppress this wave of war. At the same time, Zhao Sheng immediately sent a lot of troops to help some slower-moving tribes immediately move quickly to the depths of Mobei to avoid further killing by the Qin army!

Three or four days later, the remaining Xiongnu tribes gradually moved away, and for a while they were out of the possible attack distance of the Qin army, and the Xiongnu army gradually settled down, and continued to wander on the grassland, gritting its teeth and waiting for the opportunity to fight the main force of the Qin army!

On this day, when Zhao Sheng and the left and right bones were paying close attention to the movements of the Qin army, suddenly a horse rushed into the tent with a face as white as earth and a panicked face: "Report, report, military advisor, left and right bones, big and big things are not good!"

Zhao Sheng suddenly had a bad premonition, and exclaimed, "What's the matter? Take your time!"

He hurriedly swallowed his spit and said: "The villain has found out that there is a Qin army with about 50,000 heavy cavalry and 20,000 infantry that is rushing to kill in the direction of our Hun Dragon Court after destroying the Huhuer Tower, and it is estimated that it is less than a hundred miles away from the Dragon Court!" Please make a quick decision!"

"Ahh Zhao Sheng and the Marquis of the left and right bones were stunned for a moment, they never thought that the Qin army was not only not in a hurry to find the main force of the Xiongnu for a decisive battle, but instead put its energy on killing and plundering the Xiongnu people; Now it's even more outrageous, and he went to dig other people's ancestral graves with great vigour!

Suddenly, Ahu'er jumped up with a 'whoop', his face was blue and blue with anger, and he roared angrily: "Longting is the holy place of my Great Huns, and it is a place to worship the Great Kunlun God and my Xiongnu ancestors, if there is a loss, the Great Kunlun God will punish us, even Da Dan Yu Yeshui will let us go!" So, hurry up and send troops to the rescue!"

The right bone Duhou also jumped up and said: "Not bad, not bad!" If the Dragon Court is finished, we will die, and our souls will have no face to see the ancestors of my Great Huns!" At that moment, he drew his knife and shouted, "Come on, assemble all!"

Looking at the faces of the left and right bones as if they were about to go crazy, Zhao Sheng sighed and said, "Two generals, it's too late!" It's more than 200 miles away from the Dragon Court, and the Qin army is only 100 miles, do you think you can catch up now!? Besides, our army now has only more than 60,000 men. And the Qin army is 70,000, plus the Qin army has a crossbow to help, we are going to save the Dragon Court now, aren't we sent to death!?"

The Marquis of the Left and Right Bones was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and Ahu'er hurriedly said, "Then can we sit back and watch the Dragon Court be destroyed by the Qin army!?"

Zhao Sheng sighed again and said, "If we go to save the Dragon Court now, not only will the Dragon Court be finished, but the only remaining elite of our royal court will also be finished; If you don't save the Dragon Court, although the Dragon Court is finished, my Great Huns can at least save these more than 60,000 elites, and only then will they have a chance to make a comeback in the future. Which is more important. You two generals weigh it!"

The left and right bones were dumbfounded when they heard this, like a deflated ball, and sat down!

After a long time, the right bone Duhou cried and said with a sad face: "The battle is like this, even the Dragon Court will be finished soon, Da Danyu will come back, how can we explain it!"

Zhao Sheng's face was ashen, and he said angrily: "I can't imagine that this Qin army is not only strong in battle, but also vicious and cunning in tactics, it seems that it is really my great enemy of the Great Huns, you can rest assured, this is all a mistake in my command." When Da Shan Yu comes back, I will ask him for his guilt!"

Ahul smiled bitterly: "The tribe was killed, the dragon court was destroyed, such a big disaster. I'm afraid it's not the military advisor who can carry it on his back! Since the military advisor thinks that our army can't save the Dragon Court now, what should the current army do next? Continue to retreat north?"

Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." Continue to retreat north, I want to see how long the Qin army can chase! In addition, now the Qin army has received a large number of livestock from our army for supply, and our army has few results in attacking the Qin army's logistics grain road. Therefore, in the short term, the Qin army still has the strength to fight again, and our army alone has no chance of winning. In order to protect the safety of the royal court and completely annihilate the Qin army, I suggest that Da Danyu quickly send someone to stop attacking the Da Yue clan, return to Mo Nan, and cut off the way back to the south of the Qin army. If they can work together to annihilate the more than 100,000 Qin troops in front of them. Then the revenge of the Dragon Court will be avenged, and we can also atone for our sins! But for now, you have to pay attention: the news of the destruction of the Dragon Court must be tightly sealed; In case of leakage, we must also do a good job of appeasing and strictly ordering not to fight!"

Ahu'er nodded, but said with some hesitation: "If you invite Da Dan Yu to return to the army, won't it let the Qin army's purpose of supporting the Da Yue clan succeed?" Zhao Sheng smiled bitterly: "Now that our army is not fighting effectively, and there is no news of victory in the left, there is no flaw in taking care of itself, and what can I do with the Dayue clan." I can only take care of myself first, and then talk about it later!" The left and right bones are silent: this battle is like this, it is simply passive step by step, and the two of them are very shameless!

In the afternoon of that day, 300 miles north of Qi'er Lake, 180 miles southeast of Longting, next to a southward tributary of the Klulun River in Mobei River, the camp of Meng Tian's army was stationed here.

At this time, in the handsome tent, Meng Tian was standing in front of the sand table with his hands behind his back and pondering. Suddenly, the tent rumbled, and a personal soldier entered the tent and reported: "General, General Li has led the army to converge, and it has arrived outside the tent!"

Meng Tian hurriedly said: "Oh, please!" At this moment, someone laughed and said, "No need, I'm here myself!" As soon as the words fell, the dusty Li Xinle stepped in, holding a yellow and clear thing in his hand.

"Brother Meng, I've brought you something good! Look, what is this?" Li Xin flicked the thing in his hand, and there was a clanging sound. Meng Tian took a closer look, it turned out to be a golden mask, but the appearance was very vicious, and he said strangely: "What is this?"

Li Xin said triumphantly: "The day before yesterday, I led the troops to sweep the Hun Dragon Court, killing the ground was a pleasure, many Dragon Court people, cavalry, as well as the wizard and shaman, were swept away by me, and there were more than 30,000 levels of beheading, and I won a big victory!" Later, I found this thing in the loot, and I heard that it was the chief shaman of the Huns who sacrificed to their bullshit Kunlun god! Pure gold, surprise!"

Meng Tian laughed and said, "What's so strange about this, it's so ugly!" You're not going to give me this thing from the Dragon Court, are you?"

Li Xin said unhappily: "You really don't know the goods, if you want me to give it to you!" This thing has a history of hundreds of years, and its status among the Xiongnu is very respectful, and it is known as the holy relic closest to the gods "but a rare treasure!") When I return to the capital, let His Majesty give him to me as the most valuable souvenir of the battle in my life!"

When Meng Tian heard this, he regretted it a little, and hurriedly said, "You can show me again!" Li Xin hurriedly said: "That's not good, you can't pull it out when you see it!" However, I also brought you another very valuable thing, I heard that it is a goldfish used by the Huns to sacrifice to the sky, and it is also very precious, and it is in the list of loot, if you like it, take it first, and when you return to the capital, please give it to you by Your Majesty!"

Meng Tian grinned and said, "Okay, if you don't give it, forget it!" Let's talk about it, what did you kid do in Dragon Court? Why didn't you lure out the main force of the Huns!?"

Li Xin was a little dejected when he heard this: "Don't mention it!" After I captured Dragon City, I slaughtered all the living people, smashed the altar used by the Huns to sacrifice to the sky, and searched all the rare items! I am afraid that the Huns will not be angry enough, and they will dig up the tombs of more than a dozen Xiongnu Shan Yu, crush the bones and scatter ashes, and abandon them in the wilderness! It can be said that I have done everything I can, but after waiting there for a day, I didn't even see a single bird feather from the Huns, so I had to come to meet you!"

Meng Tian sighed when he heard this and said, "This Zhao Sheng is a character!" In such adversity, he dared to resist not sending troops, I really don't know how he calmed down those angry Hun soldiers!"

Li Xin snorted and said: "This bastard, he is determined to lick the ass of the Hun godfather, sooner or later I will screw his head off as a night pot!" Meng Tian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The two strategies have all failed, and there is little gain!"

Li Xin said: "Brother Meng, it's not without gain, at least we killed more than 200,000 Xiongnu people, which greatly weakened the war potential of the Xiongnu; And the destruction of the Dragon Court was another slap in the face of the Huns, which greatly boosted the majesty of our army. By the way, how to fight next, has Brother Meng considered it?"

"Withdraw!" Meng Tian said lightly. "Ahh Retreat!?" Li Xin was taken aback and said, "Our army is in a good situation now, why do you want to withdraw?"

Meng Tian said regretfully: "I just received a report from the reprimand, and the main force of the Hun army, which is more than 100 miles northeast of our army, continues to retreat to the line of the Krulun River!" If our army continues to catch up, the length of the battle line will be unbearable for our army, one of them; Second, if we continue to chase it, because the main force of the Xiongnu royal court army has always avoided the battle, it is difficult for our army to achieve any more results; Third, have you thought about it, our army does not know the current battle situation of the Dayue clan, and there is no news about the situation on the left side of the Xiongnu, in case Maodun or the Xiongnu win, wave the army to Monan, cut off the retreat and grain route of our army, and use the land we have plundered to return these livestock to Jiuyuan safely! Woe and blessing depend, blessing and misfortune lurk, Brother Li, you can't venture anymore, it's time to go home!"

Li Xin was silent for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Yes, Zhao Sheng, this guy is too cunning, he really can't be unguarded!" Okay, let's gather the generals immediately and announce the return of the army! However, this time I went out to Mobei, and I really didn't have a good fight!" Meng Tian smiled bitterly and said: "What can I do, I have some results, otherwise I really have no face to see Your Majesty!" Li Xin slammed the table in remorse!

The next day, the Qinxi Road Army, which was crisscrossing the grassland and entering a no-man's land, returned to the camp and crossed the 600-mile sea of sand again to Jiuyuan!

Hearing the news that Meng Tian would never be greedy for merit and return to the army in time, Zhao Sheng and the left and right bones looked at each other, and said for a while: "Combat agility, fierce strategy, advance and retreat in a certain degree, Meng Tian, a real 'wise general'!"

Sure enough, when the Qin army arrived in Jiuyuan, they received an urgent report: Mao Dun heard that the royal court was in danger, stopped attacking the Dayue clan, and hurriedly led 200,000 Huns to cross the sea of quicksand for thousands of miles.

For a while, everyone in the Qin army was frightened into a cold sweat, and secretly rejoiced: If you don't return to the army in time, the grain route will be cut off, and if you want to return to Jiuyuan in peace, I'm afraid it will be more than heaven!

A few days later, Mao Dun led the army to arrive in Monan, but he pounced headlong, although he was furious, but he was unable to attack the powerful Jiuyuan in the south, so he had to return to the north!

At this point, Qin's first war of taking the initiative to attack the Xiongnu ended successfully!
