When the black-clothed knight who rode his horse first heard three mournful roars behind him, he keenly felt that the war horse under his crotch was also shaking, and it seemed that he was about to die like the three war horses in the next moment.

The mournful roar of the war horses under the city wall three times in a row made the leopard-eyed generals on the city head feel a pang in their hearts. The next moment, without waiting for the man in black to speak again, he ordered loudly: "Come and leave the city with Ben Jiang, and the rest of the people will close the city gate immediately after waiting for Ben Jiang to leave the city." ”

"Whoa!"

The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army on the city wall did not hesitate when they heard the order of the leopard-eyed general, and responded with a bang.

…… Two quarters of an hour later, a hawk and five pigeons fluttered their wings from the shogunate of Kuhara Castle into the dark night sky at the same time. The letter eagle was reported to the second emperor of Xianyang, and one of the five carrier pigeons chased after Meng Yi, who was returning to Xianyang along the gallop from Jiuyuan to Xianyang, and the other four flew to the four counties of Beidi, Longxi, Yunzhong, and Yanmen.

This time, it was Long Wei who was the first to detect the southward movement of the Xiongnu army.

After the Maodun column plundered Liaodong and several counties in western Liaoning, Hu Hai had already ordered the scouts and dragon guards of the Jiuyuan Army to go deep into the grassland to investigate the intelligence of the Huns. However, the scouts of the Jiuyuan Army generally go out of Jiuyuan City for more than 200 miles, and this range is enough to give an early warning to the Jiuyuan Army.

The reason why Long Wei entered the prairie was not to spy on the military intelligence of the Xiongnu barbarians, but to map out a detailed map of the depths of the grassland. Where there is a water source, where there is a herd of the Huns and barbarians, and so on, everything is what the Dragon Guard should do.

The 100-strong Dragon Guard was divided into 20 groups, and a group of 5 went deep into the territory of the Xiongnu north of Yinshan, the territory west of the North that originally belonged to the Yue people, and the territory of the Qiang people west of Longxi to secretly survey and map in detail, so as to make the necessary preparations for the future of Great Qin to go north and west.

After all, the vast grasslands and the vast land west of Longxi were so barren that Great Qin was simply bothered to occupy these barren lands that were completely occupied by the Qiang people, the Yue clan and many other barbarians, let alone know much about the terrain.

But Hu Hai knew very well that if he wanted to complete the old territory of China in advance, he had to plan in advance. And these detailed maps of the barren lands, which few Qin people were involved in, became a top priority.

Hu Hai didn't want to let the blood of the Great Qin soldiers be shed in vain because of geographical problems.

The group of the Tenth Lieutenant Ding No. 3 is a group of dragon guards who entered the map of the land north and west of Yinshan.

On the vast prairie, 500,000 people who control the strings are overwhelming like locusts. Not all the tribes in the steppe north of Yinshan are Xiongnu, and there are many aliens who are interested in Daqin, or it can be said that they are willing to defeat the murderous Huns.

Originally, when the Huns were raging, these small alien tribes could only survive under the protection of Meng Tian in Jiuyuan City, and most of the nomadic places in Jiuyuan County were in Henan and Hetao Plains.

Daqin has the merit of being good at Qin, and it has truly achieved the acceptance of all rivers. Anyone who has a heart for Great Qin can be protected by Great Qin, and alien races are no exception. Therefore, the Hetao Plain, which the Huns had longed for for countless years, instead fulfilled these small tribes who took refuge in Daqin.

However, Jiuyuan, Longxi, Yunzhong, Yanmen and other counties have special horse farms in Daqin. These horse farms are among the most abundant in the county. Naturally, it was impossible for those small tribes who had taken refuge in Great Qin to compete with Great Qin for grazing military horses.

Therefore, after Meng Tian completely defeated the 500,000 Xiongnu control soldiers of Toumandanyu, the Huns who fled back to Wolf Juxu Mountain in embarrassment have basically disappeared for 500 miles near Yinshan, and even if there are Huns grazing, they are at most very small tribes.

After all, the big tribe is easy to be targeted by Daqin's scouts on the grassland, and once they are targeted by Daqin's scouts, it means that they will be killed and wiped out. After shedding countless blood, the large tribes of the Huns have been migrating deeper into the grasslands of the northern Yinshan Mountains. And the small tribe can pretend to be a small tribe alien who has taken refuge in Daqin. After all, Great Qin's scouts would definitely not slaughter the small tribes of Good Qin.

As the danger passed, slowly, the small tribe that had been under the wings of the Jiuyuan Army began to set their eyes on the vast and beautiful grassland north of Yinshan Mountain. How many cattle and sheep can that ownerless grassland support, and how much wealth can you gain?

**, always drives people to overcome fear and move towards the unknown.

This time, the Maodun army suddenly moved south, and those small tribes and alien races who were grazing on the vast steppes north of Yinshan Mountain after being far away from Jiuyuan County all suffered a catastrophe.

Their cattle and sheep became the food and grass for the Huns' march, their women and wealth became the trophies of the Huns, and their bodies were crushed into meat puree, nourishing this vast grassland that had returned to the embrace of the wolf god in the eyes of the Huns.

Wherever the Maudun army passed, even the small tribes of the Huns were wiped out by bloody slaughter.

The fifth person of the tenth lieutenant Ding Zi No. 3 encountered the small tribe alien who fled to Jiuyuan in panic that he learned the news of the Hun army going south. Subsequently, they even deliberately looked for the route of the Hun army to the south in order to verify it.

When he saw the endless white tent that covered almost the entire grassland, T-No. 3 and the four dragon guards under his command immediately understood that the Jiuyuan Army and Great Qin were about to officially begin to collide with the Xiongnu army.

Therefore, after grabbing a few war horses, the five of them ran from the depths of the grassland to Jiuyuan City, just to report the news of the Xiongnu army to the south to the Jiuyuan army and the emperor.

Although I don't know how many people the Huns came this time, the countless tents that covered almost the entire steppe alone told T-No. 3 that the Huns should have at least 300,000 troops.

Obviously, he still muttered about the courage of the peerless hero Mao Dun and the Huns' desire for the Hetao Plain.

There were nearly 500,000 people in Maodun's southward march this time, of course, not counting the old and weak Huns who were responsible for grazing cattle and sheep with the army, as well as the slaves of the Yue clan, the Qiang tribe and even Daqin.

Among the 500,000 troops, only 200,000 were the elite of the Huns. The remaining 300,000 people were followed by an army of Donghu people subdued by Maudun. The battle of Maotun almost emptied the surnames of more than one million young people of the entire Donghu clan at one time.

All men taller than horses were recruited into the army of the south. Today, most of the Donghu people who stay in the surrounding area of the Xiongnu holy land in Wolf Juxu Mountain are old, weak, women and children.

Of the 400,000 Xiongnu people, Mao Dun left 200,000 to control and guard these Donghu people, who had become vassals and slaves of the Xiongnu clan. Coupled with more than 1 million Huns, it is enough to suppress those Donghu people who have no longer the protection of Qingzhuang.

Maudun's southward journey this time is also killing two birds with one stone. He obviously wanted to use the last 300,000 young men of the Donghu clan as cannon fodder. When the Qin army is almost killed by these Donghu people, it will be when the Erlang of his Xiongnu clan will appear.

After this battle, the young and strong people of the Donghu tribe conservatively estimated that at least seventy or eighty percent of the loss, at that time only the old and weak women and children were left in the Donghu clan, only after a few years of education, when those children grow up, they can completely integrate into the Xiongnu clan, and will not regenerate the heart of resistance.

In the shogunate of Jiuyuan City, no one doubted what Longwei T-3 said. Long Wei's waist card is basically seen every day by all the generals of the Jiuyuan Army. Shangfang's special dragon guard and the waist card of the black ice platform cannot be counterfeited by others, and they cannot be counterfeited.

Although the news of the southward movement of the Xiongnu army had been transmitted, the shogunate of Jiuyuan City fell silent. Of course, this silence is not because of the fear of the Hun army, but because the current Jiuyuan City is a group of dragons without a leader.

Meng Yi had just left Jiuyuan City for two days, and at this moment, he was on his way back to Xianyang. The general sent by the DPRK to replace Meng Yi is not known yet. Now there is no one in the entire Jiuyuan City who can mobilize the elite of the Jiuyuan Army scattered in Yunzhong, Yanmen, and all over Jiuyuan. The generals at all levels in the shogunate could only mobilize the hundreds or thousands of personal soldiers around them.

Without the order of the emperor or the general, no matter how high or low the general of Jiuyuan City is, as long as he mobilizes every soldier in the camp of Jiuyuan City at will, he will be regarded as a rebellion, as if he is a rebellion.

Although they can all mobilize the soldiers of the Nine Plains. However, being able to transfer does not mean that you dare to transfer.

Rebellion, that's going to punish the nine clans!

Everyone is at a loss.

If the army is not mobilized, if the emperor's edict comes too slowly, the Huns come too quickly, and the general who came to replace Meng Yi to lead the Jiuyuan army has not yet arrived in Jiuyuan, will he not take any action to let the Huns break through the Great Wall, plunder the people of Daqin at will, and drive straight to the city of Jiuyuan? The garrisons of the various fortresses around the Great Wall are extremely limited, each fortress is only more than a thousand people, and it is extremely scattered, isn't it waiting for the Huns to break through?

However, if you take it upon yourself to mobilize the army, in the absence of the emperor's edict, it will be regarded as a rebellion and extermination of the nine clans. Although they didn't see what the emperor did when he was in the big camp of Bashang, naturally there were familiar generals who sent a message back.

Obviously, His Majesty the Young Emperor was suspicious of the Jiuyuan Army, or the founder of the Jiuyuan Army, the great general Meng Tian.

If Your Majesty really wants to get rid of the general or disband the Affinity Army, then wouldn't it be just a good excuse for Your Majesty to seize the excuse when he and others make a move? If the calamity is brought to the generals, then they will be sinners through the ages.

Contradictions, really contradictions.

"Generals, quickly transfer troops. The Huns are now afraid that they are less than two hundred miles away from the long castle. Could it be that the generals were afraid of the Huns? Longwei Ding No. 3, who had been waiting for a group of generals of the Jiuyuan Army to transfer troops, looked at it for a long time before he found that the generals at all levels in this hall looked at each other and did not speak after sending out the message.

Even he, a dead soldier who doesn't know how to use soldiers, knows the consequences of the Huns suddenly in Jiuyuan County, could it be that these generals were frightened by the 400,000 Huns? This is the world-famous Great Qin's first elite Jiuyuan Army?

He finally couldn't help but say something aggressively. (To be continued)
