Chapter 227: The Donghu Lost Land Clansmen Fled
Lu Yan began to divide the Qin army into two teams from early in the morning, among which in order to prevent the Donghu people from discovering the abnormality, the 40,000 soldiers were not distributed until noon, and all of them were concentrated in the front and rear camps.

The Donghu patriarch thought that he had arranged things seamlessly, but Lu Yan quietly added a handful of soil to his grave, and when it was ugly, the Donghu sentinels returned to the city to tell that the lights in the Qin military camp had been extinguished.
The patriarch of Donghu was overjoyed, and personally led 20,000 soldiers to detour from the top of the hill and go straight to the middle camp of the Qin army, trying to break the Qin army away, and then break them one by one, and he would definitely be able to win a great victory.
The 20,000 soldiers cautiously advanced from the north and south sides, and the Donghu patriarch led his troops to rush down the camp tent first, and the soldiers on the other side followed closely behind, rushing into the tent to slash and kill.
However, there was no one in a hurry for a long time, and several Donghu high-level officials looked at the patriarch a little dazed, "Patriarch, has the Qin army already evacuated?" ”
Patriarch Donghu reacted instantly, "Not good! Hit the trick! After that, he immediately ordered the soldiers to rush to the mountains on both sides, trying to return the same way, but the army led by Wang Li had already been killed, which caught the Donghu patriarch by surprise.
"Kill the enemy for merit, repay the king, and there will be a reward!" Wang Li and Su Jiao shouted at the same time, and in an instant, their morale soared, and the Qin army was like a tiger and wolf slashing towards the Donghu soldiers.
Lu Yanfang heard the shouting and killing, and also came out of the front camp, regardless of Wang Li and others, and rushed straight to the city of Donghu, because the Donghu patriarch sent troops in time, the city gate was not closed, and a hundred Qin soldiers actually knocked the city gate open, and the army immediately poured in.
The patriarch of Donghu didn't know that Lu Yan had entered the city at this moment, so he had to be forced to fight with Wang Li and others, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to stabilize the opportunity, but the Qin army was brave, and the Donghu soldiers had never fought all year round, how could they be against a group of ruffians and regular troops.
Just when the Donghu patriarch was defeated and retreated, the Donghu soldiers came to summon the news, saying that the city was breached, and it was okay not to say it at the moment, as soon as the soldier's voice fell, many clan soldiers had no intention of fighting, and they all wanted to return to the clan to rescue their relatives.
Although these people are clan soldiers, their parents, wives and children are in the city, and the city of Donghu has been breached, where did the soldiers get the courage to go to the enemy again, and they are all depressed.
Seeing this, the patriarch of Donghu had no choice but to retreat while fighting, "Everyone, follow me back to the city and rescue the people, don't lose morale so much, and then the people and us will all die here." ”
When many clan soldiers heard the patriarch say this, they saved their morale a little, but despite this, the soldiers still wanted to return to the city quickly, but the patriarch couldn't, so he led many soldiers to quickly pass through the back camp and rush towards Donghu City.
When Wang Li saw this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and ordered the soldiers not to slack off, these Donghu soldiers are lambs to be slaughtered, killing people is like killing chickens, such a merit, how can it be easily given up.
The Qin army was very excited by Wang Li's instigation, rushed to the Hu soldiers first, after more than ten miles of road, the Eastern Hu soldiers fought and retreated, the soldiers lost countless numbers, and when they arrived in the city of Donghu, there were only less than 10,000 soldiers left.
And Lu Yan was on the gate tower of Donghu City at this moment, the city gate was closed, and he saw from a distance that Donghu soldiers were coming in the direction of Donghu City, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to prepare.
When the Donghu patriarch saw that the gate of his city tower was closed, his heart was already full of hope, and many of the Donghu soldiers were unwilling to go to the city gate alone, and Lu Yan immediately ordered the Qin soldiers to release arrows.
Before many Donghu soldiers could react, they fell under the city gate, "Retreat, go to the mountains to take refuge first!" Make a decision later. Patriarch Donghu shouted anxiously.
At this moment, Wang Li's army also came from behind, and when he saw many Donghu soldiers gathered at the city gate, he also knew in his heart that it was Lu Yan who blocked the city gate, and immediately ordered two thousand cavalry to prepare to trample on it, and then kill people.
How can these Donghu soldiers listen to the words of the patriarch, now that the city is occupied, parents, wives and children do not know life and death, what is the meaning of living, "Everyone, it is not a pity to die, fight with me, kill the Qin army to avenge the wife and children!" I don't know where the voice came from, which greatly boosted the morale of the Donghu soldiers.
Since the city gate can't be attacked, then go to fight Wang Li's army, two miles away Su Jiao saw thousands of Donghu soldiers, just a sneer in his eyes, the flag in his hand waved slightly, and many arrows shot at the Donghu soldiers at the same time, not for a moment, I don't know how many soldiers fell, followed by Wang Li's cavalry, rushing forward with a shield.
The Donghu soldiers were really powerless at the moment, a round of crossbow arrows, a round of cavalry, and thousands of Donghu soldiers all fell to the ground, and the Donghu patriarch saw that the general trend had gone, and he felt remorseful in his heart.
"My son is cold and evil, Donghu is now extinct, Yanzuo has been ruined for a hundred years, and it is destroyed by his father, sad! Alas! The Donghu patriarch looked up to the sky and sighed.
When several Donghu elders and soldiers saw this scene, they were also helpless in their hearts, and they hid their faces and cried bitterly, while there were still Donghu soldiers in front of them who were constantly rushing towards the Qin army, but they were all killed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am truly a sinner." The Donghu patriarch raised the long knife and immediately stabbed himself in the chest, as did several other soldiers, and the Donghu high-ranking people committed suicide.
Wang Li didn't have time to deal with these soldiers, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to rush over, the soldiers were dead, and it was useless for the soldiers to live longer, so they were all killed.
In the early morning, all the Donghu soldiers were killed, and the old and young women in the city were not spared, and only a small part fled along the back gate of the city to the east of Helan Mountain, and no one knew whether they lived or died.
Lu Yan and Wang Li met in the city, all the corpses of Donghu were buried on the spot, the Qin army in the city was all drinking to cheer up, and the loser was a loser even if he was pitiful, so no matter how heroic the Donghu patriarch died, after the war was over, he was buried on the spot, no different from the surrounding soldiers.
The next day, the soldiers were counted, and the Qin army lost more than 1,000 people, while nearly 40,000 Donghu people were killed, and only more than 1,000 people fled to the east of Helan Mountain, and they were not pursued for the time being.
On the tower of the city gate, Lu Yan is in a good mood, although it is in the barren mountains and mountains, but after a period of time it will be back to the dynasty, you can imagine, the Huns plus Tou Manshan Yu escaped a part of the people, compact but more than 50,000 people, how to be afraid, on the other hand, Daqin, the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses, there is not much damage, unless the Huns have masters, or there is weather to trouble, otherwise, the Huns will be destroyed, and the time to return home is approaching.
"Overseer, what's next?" Wang Li was in a good mood when he saw Lu Yan, and asked in a low voice.
Lu Yan tidied up his clothes a little, "Now that Donghu is destroyed, there is no need to stay here too much, set off tomorrow to meet with General Meng, jointly attack the north of Helan Mountain, and drive the Hun barbarians farther away." ”
"That's fine, it's late spring now, and you can probably return to the court in the middle of summer." Wang Li said with some relief.
"Dare to ask the general, is the frontier good? Or is it better to Xianyang Palace? Lu Yan suddenly asked with a smile.
Wang Li just scratched his head, "If you don't take the lead in Xiawu, Wen has Xiangguo, and Hou Ye's affairs, don't expect me to have a way." ”
Lu Yan felt helpless after hearing this, and immediately waved his hand, "Go down to the whole team, burn this city when you leave." ”
