Shang Wen and Ying Yu still didn't lock the love lock in the end. Because, there are no locks sold nearby. And these locks are all of various shapes. It's not the kind of big lock that is practical. On top of that, the locks were made by two people themselves. Then write your name or what you want to say on it, and it is obviously not very interesting to think of Yingyu's quick success and quick profit-style locking behavior.

Although the two quarreled all night about it. But it was still not locked, and the matter was put on hold.

Xianyang was calm. And in the northern steppes it is not at all calm. On the contrary, things came out a little sinister.

A military force of nearly 200 people, consisting of soldiers, mercenaries, merchants, and mountain slaves, penetrated deep into the northern Xiongnu hinterland to carry out "hunting" activities. In fact, with the vitality of the Xiongnu injured, especially the decrease in the number of adult Xiongnu men, and the Qin army's extermination policy once harassed the Xiongnu tribes on a large scale, the Xiongnu's combat effectiveness has declined sharply. According to Meng Tian's estimates, it would take at least ten to fifteen years for the Xiongnu tribes to initially recover their combat strength after the severe injury of vitality. Moreover, at that time, the combat units of the Huns were estimated to be between 30,000 and 50,000, because the Qin army destroyed the population gathering places of the Huns, the tribes. After these people were captured by the Qin army, they went south to build roads. This was no small disaster for the Huns.

But the Huns were a ferocious wolf. Even with their last breath left, they have to do everything they can to stay alive. This is something for them. That's true. The Qin and Zhao armies gained very little during the guerrilla raids throughout the summer. The number of frequent sorties and sneak attacks is becoming less and less. This shows that the Huns had noticed the problems of the defense of their base tribes.

"The goshawks in the sky and the mastiffs on the earth became their watchposts. At the same time, they released a large number of mobile sentinels, dark sentinels, and the only adult males of the tribe were divided into three groups. They take turns guarding their posts to guard against our sneak attacks. ”

"Our troops are only outside their alert range. It is usually found from ten miles away. But when we get rid of these mobile sentinels. Their tribal population is ready for battle. Or evacuate altogether. And when we come to these tribes. In fact, the meaning of sneak attacks has been lost. "A report submitted by a front-line staff officer illustrates the current state of the situation in the north of the Qin army.

The Xiongnu population has decreased considerably. The rest are underage teenagers. This is the blood of the Huns. Plus cold weather in winter, as well as a decrease in women. The replenishment of the Xiongnu population decreased a lot. Faced with such a situation, the Huns had to strengthen their defenses. On the contrary, the Qin army did not improve much in this regard. They simply reformed military weapons. But in terms of tactics, the old tactics are still maintained.

Although the Huns were inferior in weapons to the Qin. But it is still a nomadic people, especially the aggressive wolf nature of the steppe. But Qin Jun was careless about this. and even ridiculed it like a dog.

In this way, these nearly 200 people still set out in the mood of last year's hunting. They had almost six hundred horses. There was a lot of stuff right away, especially with new weapons. Machine gun. It was also the Qin army's most advanced air-cooled point-50 heavy machine gun, and the machine gun ammunition was transported by twenty horses. It's huge.

Just when they were confidently marching out. Mobile patrols of the Huns have already spotted them. The Huns' patrols were sent fifty miles away, or they were specially zoned for reconnaissance, sentry, and cordon, and the expansion of the reconnaissance circle helped to gather intelligence sources. And in this regard, the Qin army once surpassed the Huns. But then this consciousness quickly degenerated, and on the contrary, the allies in the Western Regions attached great importance to it. The appearance of reconnaissance planes is to reconnoiter the air situation.

The two Hun patrolmen were talking as if they were discussing countermeasures, and soon one of them left. The other man quietly followed the group.

"Look, there's a tribe of Huns ahead." One of the mercenaries shouted with a telescope he carried with him.

"Hahaha. We got rich. A merchant shouted.

"Strange, so weird." A young officer in the Qin army felt that something was very wrong. Then grab a telescope to check the situation.

"Hahaha. Whatever he is, we're rich. The merchant was as excited as if he had seen a pile of treasure. And the mercenaries have already pulled the bolts, and the more good ones have already taken the horse-drawn machine guns and started to set up machine gun positions.

"No, it's not right." The officer clearly saw that there were only a few people in the tribe, and the number of cattle and sheep was not very large. It is quite possible that this is a decoy, this is the first feeling of the officer.

"Hit, give me a hard shot, after a hundred rounds, let's rush." The mercenaries were already shouting loudly. Immediately the machine gun began to fire continuously. And fifty mercenaries have already attacked.

"Shall we move?" A Qin army sergeant stepped forward and asked.

"No, let's see what happens." The officer ordered.

Soon the machine gun stopped firing. As a rule, army-trained machine-gun shooters do not shoot at high speeds. Because this is extremely easy to damage the barrel. And it's also very undesirable in tactics. And mercenaries can't manage so much.

"These guys." Apparently the officer was very disdainful of this amateur style of play, and more and more people seeking to make a fortune joined the mercenaries, and many experienced veterans left when they made enough money, and those who were inexperienced were added to the recruits. They don't understand anything, but they always want to get rich. This made the mercenaries much less military. And these newcomers. Do anything. Robbery, humiliation of women. Even take pleasure in killing. Because there is no need to scruple about anything here, no one will say anything. This cruel treatment aroused the anger of many of the Qin army's rival nomadic tribes. They believed that the Qin army was an army that killed people for fun. But there is no need for these Qin troops to know.

"Bang, bang." Gunfire ensued. Then there was the sounding of the slogan of the Huns. "Woohoo." This is the sound of a combat voice. It's like Qin Jun's "killing." "In order to inspire courage.

"Look. Over there. "The sergeant major also noticed that the situation was not good. Then I looked around, but I didn't know when. They unexpectedly found that the Hun cavalry was standing all around.

"Retreat." The mercenary flicked the revolver in his hand and shot it desperately. The man with the spear quickly pulls the bolt and shoots. And there are indeed Huns in ambush in the tribe. They kept shooting the Qin people with bows and arrows who broke in.

"Oh no, we're surrounded." The officer shouted.
