Everything was as Lu Yan expected, the Xiongnu stopped ten miles in front of the Qin army, and set up camp in an orderly manner, with the intention of threatening the Qin army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The difference in strength between the two armies was 50,000, and when Meng Tian saw the Xiongnu like this, he immediately summoned all the generals to discuss in the camp tent, which was nothing more than taking the opportunity to destroy the main force of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

"Overseer, what you're here today, you must have something in mind." Meng Tian said indifferently, Lu Yan frowned slightly after hearing this, and looked at Meng Tian with some doubts.

"Does the general mean to send troops to attack the Xiongnu now?" There was some agreement in the words, and the rest of the generals also nodded after hearing it.

"That's right, let the crossbowmen attack the enemy camp first, and then the cavalry will rush into it, so that the enemy's formation will be in chaos, and the enemy will be able to annihilate the enemy's elite and take the head of the general." Meng Tian said with confidence.

"Everything is in accordance with the general's arrangement, but it seems that you can't be in a hurry, the Huns are still camping, it is better to let the crossbowmen attack the camp first, and then make plans." Lu Yan said slowly.

"You mean now?" Meng Tian looked at Lu Yan with some suspicion, "That's right, it's now." The rest of the people didn't understand what Lu Yan meant, only Chen Ping nodded.

"The general doesn't know that the Huns are in turmoil, and after this harassment, the enemy is tired, and they can sneak attack at night." Chen Ping explained that since the last Battle of Longxi, Chen Ping's status has also improved.

"Okay, since that's the case, then send crossbowmen to attack the Hun camp now, not allowed to attack, just a surprise attack!" Meng Tian's voice suddenly said loudly.

Shejian led the army, the rest of the soldiers stood by, 10,000 crossbowmen rushed to the Xiongnu's military camp with Shijian, as for Lu Yan and others were waiting to see what happened, the two armies were ten miles apart, and it was the safest to fight quickly.

The Xiongnu side is encamped, Tou Mandan Yu sits firmly in the general account, behind the war horse, the soldiers are in front, the sentry sees the Qin army soldiers and horses approaching, and he does not feel panicked in his heart, and immediately tells Tou Mandan Yu.

Tou Manshan Yu didn't think much about it, but ordered 20,000 soldiers to defend in front of the camp tent, and the rest of the soldiers continued to deal with the affairs of the army.

However, Shima already had a plan in his heart, and immediately ordered his 10,000 cavalry to shoot forward with bows and crossbows, and the tactical idea was very clear, 10,000 cavalry formed a half-circle formation, and thousands of soldiers rotated back and forth before and after.

The Hun soldiers could block the first round of shooting, how to resist the next few rounds of shooting, so the soldiers lined up had to slowly retreat, and when they saw this, they knew that there was no ambush behind their soldiers.

Immediately ordered the cavalry to put away the crossbow arrows, and rushed directly to the front, the crossbow arrows hung on the back of the horse, and the spears were replaced in their hands, and the Hun soldiers were killed.

The head man in the rear was shocked when he heard that the Qin army had rushed up, he didn't expect the 10,000 Qin army to be so fierce, but there were still 100,000 soldiers on his side, and he was not afraid of the Qin army at all, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go to reinforcements.

The 10,000 Qin troops led by Shima against the 20,000 Hun soldiers were like being devastated, after all, there was a burst of shooting just now, and many Hun soldiers had been wounded.

When the Qin army was killed, they suddenly heard that there were 20,000 Hun soldiers in the rear, and those soldiers who fled immediately integrated their own troops, no longer feared the Qin army, and then turned back.

However, Shima already knew that the Xiongnu were like this, and immediately waved their flags and retreated, and the Qin army immediately lined up in three rows, put away their spears, and then picked up crossbow arrows, turned around and loaded their arrows, and shot at the chasing Hun soldiers.

The position of the Xiongnu soldiers had been broken by Shijian, so there was no order in the battle, but the Qin army was in good order and did not lose a few people.

Tou Mandan suddenly heard the report of the general in the tent, saying that there was no way to pursue, Tou Mandan was helpless, so he had to order a retreat, if he continued to pursue, the casualties would only double.

Disturbed by a period of harassment, the Xiongnu lost a total of 10,000 soldiers, while the Qin army suffered little damage.

When Meng Tian heard that Shema had returned from a great victory, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately entertained Shima to commend his merits, and ordered Lu Yan to prepare soldiers and horses to attack the Xiongnu military camp at night.

And at this moment, Tou Mandan was attacked by the Qin army, and his heart was resentful on the one hand, but more because he wanted to take revenge, just ask the army to lose 10,000, who can swallow this breath in his heart.

Tou Mandan, who was pacing back and forth in the tent, suddenly thought that there was no news from the 50,000 generals of Donghu so far, and he couldn't help but be worried, so he ordered the envoy to go to Donghu to ask for troops.

Donghu lives in the east of the Wolf Mountain Range, the Central Plains went through the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Xiongnu have been trying to occupy the Central Plains, only Donghu recuperated near the Wolf Mountain, and it can be regarded as a force today.

The envoy received the order of Touman Danyu, naturally did not dare to slack off, immediately rushed to Donghu to lobby, the two ethnic groups are collectively referred to as the Hu people, heard that the Xiongnu envoy came to visit, the Donghu patriarch immediately warmly entertained.

The Donghu patriarch personally poured goat's milk for the envoy in the tent, but he didn't know that the Donghu tribe did not come out of Wolf Mountain, only heard that the Xiongnu were strong, and did not know that the Qin army had come to attack.

"I don't know what happened to the leader of the Huns, who looked down on my clan so highly?" Patriarch Donghu said with a little humility.

The envoy sipped goat's milk slightly, and there was a breath of anger, and he barely swallowed, "The Donghu clan lives here, but they don't know that the Qin army has started a war with the Xiongnu tribes, and the two armies will have casualties, if the Xiongnu are defeated, can the patriarch know the benefits?" The messenger said very seriously.

The Donghu patriarch frowned slightly, and thought for a moment, "Dare to ask where the Qin army is preparing to attack, and where is Zhiwu?" "There was a lot of worry in the words.

"I might as well tell the patriarch the reason, the purpose of the Qin army's dispatch this time is to occupy the east of Wolf Mountain, as well as the north of Helan Mountain, to expel the alien races, and treat Donghu the same way, if they surrender, they will all be killed!" The messenger said excitedly, but these things were all made up by him.

Just imagine how a messenger can know so many things, and where the Qin army sent troops, how to occupy them, and how many places to attack are all confidential matters, Tou Manshan Yu still doesn't know, but a messenger.

However, the patriarch of Donghu had never been out of Wolf Mountain, and he actually believed the words of the envoy, thinking that the Qin army would put them to death, so he couldn't help but be terrified.

"Dare to ask the messenger, what can our people do to save their lives and survive in the mountains?" Patriarch Donghu said with some fear.

"If you want to be saved, it's not impossible, you have to move out of here and travel north, the farther the better, but who do you think among the nobles would want to act like this?" The messenger said slowly.

The patriarch of Donghu also felt reasonable, "The contemptible people are stupid, and please ask the messenger to make it clear." ”

When the envoy heard the Donghu patriarch's reply, he thought that the matter had been successful.
