The Qin army pursued the men and horses of Beiyan all the way, but fortunately, the Hun cavalry and horses quickly got rid of them, and after a while, the Hun army arrived at the city of Beiwolf City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Adjutant General Beiyan said: "We will enter the city and defend it, and then attack and defeat them when the Qin army is tired."

Bei Yan said: "No, our army is full of elite cavalry, good at charging and morale at this time, if you enter the city and defend the city, it is to give up your strengths, and the North Wolf City is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the strategic strength is insufficient."

It is very likely that our passive defense will not be able to resist the Qin army, and if the Qin army conquers the Northern Wolf City, it will cut off the economic lifeline of the entire Southern Cheng Kingdom, so this small city cannot be taken by the Qin army no matter what.

If the Qin army invades, our cavalry will inevitably be unable to carry out an effective attack in a narrow area, and I have taken care that Meng Tian will return in vain."

After that, Beiyan told the generals about his strategy, and more than a dozen generals and colonels led their troops according to the plan.

On the way to lead the army in pursuit, Meng Yi walked to Meng Tian's side and said: "Big brother, I really don't understand why the Xiongnu army in the west doesn't go to reinforcements, is it because there are internal contradictions among the Xiongnu or if there is some conspiracy among this army."

"It's hard to say, the way of thinking of the barbarians is different from ours after all, and now we have to watch out for everything around us, the sky is getting dark, and I don't know if the barbarians will take the opportunity to attack us."

After listening to what Meng Tian said, Meng Yi said: "This place is very close to the Northern Wolf City of the Xiongnu Nancheng Kingdom, that small city can be regarded as the most prosperous town in the Southern Chengguo, and it was originally our Central Plains city that was later taken away by the northern nomads.

It has become the southernmost city of the Xiongnu South Cheng Kingdom many times, and it is said that the commercial trade of this northern wolf city is very developed, and it can be regarded as the channel of trade between the Xiongnu and the Central Plains countries.

If our army captures the Northern Wolf City, it can cut off the economic lifeline of the entire Nancheng Kingdom, and even if it can't destroy the Nancheng Kingdom for the time being, it can gradually force them into a desperate situation."

Meng Tian said puzzledly: "Didn't the Xiongnu live a nomadic and hunting life, which can completely maintain their economy in order to be self-sufficient, so why do the people of Nancheng still rely on trade, and why do I always feel that Nancheng is different from other Xiongnu countries."

Meng Yi replied: "Nancheng is the southernmost country of the entire Xiongnu, and its strategic strength is far lower than that of other Xiongnu countries in the north.

The monarchs of the Southern Cheng Kingdom and their upper leaders were different from the belligerent nature of the other Xiongnu states, although they also plundered and invaded the land of the Central Plains countries in the south, but this was only one of the few places where they had Xiongnu special characteristics.

The geographical environment of the Nancheng region is also different from that of other Xiongnu countries, they do not have many pastures but many mountains and forests, which makes them unable to live a nomadic life.

Some people had no choice but to give up riding horses and go into the mountains and forests to hunt to make a living, because the frequent wars in the Central Plains countries led to the loss of a large number of people, and some of them were displaced to the territory of Nancheng Kingdom.

Seeing this, the king of Nanchengguo issued a statement to accept all the Central Plains people who fled to the territory of Nanchengguo, and over time, many Central Plains people thought that Nanchengguo was a very good place of refuge, and more and more Central Plains people fled to Nanchengguo within two years, most of which were Zhao and Yan.

This made the culture of Nancheng further influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains taught the Huns of Nancheng to make and smelt iron wire weaving, which also made the Nancheng country vigorously develop the economy and give up the previous advocating of force.

King Nancheng set up the southernmost and most characteristic of the Central Plains Northern Wolf City as a place of trade with the Central Plains countries, and they vigorously developed the economy through foreign trade, and made full use of iron weapons in the army, so that their military strength was greatly improved."

Meng Tian said: "No wonder I heard that the Xiongnu of Nancheng launched an attack on Yan a while ago, although they were repelled by the Yan army, but also caused serious damage to the soldiers and horses of Yan State, and the Cheng Ke who fought with me just now is a Han person, and there should be many Han generals like him in Nancheng."

"No matter how powerful the Han people who fled to the Huns, I think that soon the southern Chengguo will be destroyed by us, I thought that we were going to sleep in the wilderness tonight, but now I know that we are not far from the North Wolf City, tonight to take the North Wolf City to spend the night in this city, tomorrow morning to lead the army to attack the capital of the South Chengguo Sanhe City"

After listening, Meng Tian said: "Second brother, don't be too careless, we have gone deep into the hinterland of Nancheng Kingdom, from here to the North Wolf City has always been dominated by forests, and the only road that can be used for people and horses to advance, we must be careful of being used by barbarians to plot against us by the night and terrain."

Before the words fell, a lieutenant rushed to Meng Tian's side and said: "General, the forward soldiers and horses of our army have arrived ten miles away from the North Wolf City, and a team of scouts has reconnoitred and found no barbarians, but there is no sign of lights on the North Wolf City, and the entire city is completely in a state of darkness."

"Although I don't know what the barbarians want to do, I still order the forward soldiers and horses to withdraw first, and then say, you can convey it."

After receiving the order, the lieutenant immediately conveyed it to the general of the forward army, and the general ordered a slow retreat, and before he could retreat for half a mile, he heard the sharp sound of two arrows piercing the silence.

Not long ago, the soldiers on both sides of the forward army continued to be hit by arrows and fell from their horses, and it was not the volleys that had already been set up to shoot arrows, but a small number of individual soldiers shuttling forward and firing points, and the general led by the leader shouted when he saw this: "The whole army turned around and rushed out of here as fast as possible."

The cavalry at the rear of the forward army had all turned their horses, and they rushed forward at full speed, but unexpectedly, the road stumbled and pulled up, and the Qin soldiers were overturned to the ground one after another, and more than 20 Hun soldiers armed with spears and steel forks jumped out of the woods on both sides.

These Hun soldiers effortlessly killed the Qin soldiers who fell to the ground and had not yet risen, and the Qin cavalry behind saw that they all stopped the war horses with all their strength, and as a result, the road that was not spacious became more blocked, and some Qin soldiers failed to restrain the war horses in time and collided with the people in front, and the Qin army trampled on each other and turned over countless people on their backs.

Bei Yan smiled and clapped his hands and said to several lieutenant generals: "Very good, at the beginning, I just wanted to retreat from the enemy, I didn't expect to achieve such a result, I think the command center of this Qin army must be not far behind, here I will hand it over to you to give them a good ride, I will meet this leading general."

After that, Beiyan patted his horse and spear and shuttled through the woods, followed by more than 10,000 cavalry scattered out.

When Meng Tian heard that the vanguard army was under siege, he said: "I didn't expect it to be calculated by the barbarians, they only fled tens of thousands of people, but they just occupied a favorable position, and the whole army attacked with me to defeat the barbarians and rescue the vanguard soldiers and horses."

"No, big brother, the barbarians occupy the advantageous position and use the night to attack our army, their purpose is only to repel us but to annihilate us, the road is narrow, our soldiers can't show more, rashly approaching will definitely be the whole army trapped here, why don't we retreat for the time being."

Hearing Meng Yi's suggestion, Meng Tian fell into thought......
