Chapter 259: A Sudden Battle

If it weren't for the war horses contributed by the Huns, Wang Gan's 20,000 troops would have penetrated into the Vermilion Bird Army, which was less than a hundred miles away from Yunzhong County's Yunzhong City, and it would have been impossible for them to approach Meng Tian's army so quickly.

But even so, when Wang Qian found the three pillars of fire, he was still more than 150 miles away from Meng Tian's army. If you really want to meet Meng Tian, I am afraid it will take at least two hours.

The pillar of fire lit up in the east was also nearly a hundred miles away from Wang Qian. But don't forget, after seeing this pillar of fire, the Huns will definitely speed up and flee, otherwise they will not even send troops to chase and kill the thousand-strong squad of the Jiuyuan Army that bites behind them like maggots attached to the bones.

Wang Gan's 20,000 Vermilion Bird troops were rushing towards the nearest east road to him, while the Huns were desperately running in the direction of Wang Qian. One is coming, the other is fleeing.

The lighting of the three pillars of fire announced that the Huns had been officially found by the Qin army. The three-way Hun cavalry, although exhausted, was still desperately whipping the war horse under the crotch, and the farther it ran, the more difficult it was for the Qin people to catch up. Although there were always more than a dozen Qin scout teams behind him, the farther he ran, the safer the great Mao Dun Shan could be.

The Hun cavalry that could be selected by Mao Dun as the southward army to follow him south, needless to think, would naturally be the elite who had followed Mao Dun for many years. Although these people may not be as elite as the Jiuyuan Army, let alone the Suzaku Army, the loyalty of these 200,000 Hun cavalry to Mao Dun is beyond doubt.

The betrayal of the Donghu people put the great Maudun Shan in danger, and all the Hun cavalry were eager to drain Mohuer's tendons, drink his blood, and eat his flesh raw. As long as they can catch Mohull, of course.

Supporting the power of these Hun cavalry to support their long numb legs and still fleeing for their lives, in addition to attracting the Qin people to come so that the great Mao Dunshan Yu could return to the prairie, there was also the hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children of the Donghu people who were detained around the Wolf Juxu Mountain.

There is no doubt that once these Hun barbarians, who have been incited by Maodun to incite hatred, return to Wolf Juxu Mountain, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of Donghu people who were imprisoned around Wolf Juxu Mountain.

In fact, Mao Dun didn't know that Mohuer had chosen to join Great Qin. He only knew one thing, that is, Mohuer betrayed the great Maudun Shan Yu and betrayed the heroic Hun warriors.

What Mohuer let the Longxi army enter the battlefield for, Mao Dun knew very well. He reported the idea of consuming the last batch of young and strong people of the Donghu people, so that after the Donghu people and the Qin people were defeated, the Huns were good fishermen and profited. Mohul apparently had the same thoughts as him. Letting the Qin reinforcements come in, it was precisely because they wanted the Huns and the Qin people to kill and lose both, so that the Donghu people would have a day to turn over.

It was enough for Maudun to know that. Since Mo Huer dared to let the Qin people in front of him, he was obviously ready to break with him in his heart, and even planned to give up the hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children in Donghu around the Wolf Juxu Mountain.

After all, Jiuyuan is the territory of the Qin people, and the Qin people's reinforcements will inevitably be endless. If you add the more than 200,000 cavalry of the Donghu people who have completely broken with the Xiongnu, and once these Donghu cavalry do not fight with the Qin people, or rather, or say that the Donghu people have taken refuge in the Qin people, this is the point that Mao Dun is most worried about, and Mao Dun knows very well what he will do if he continues to stay.

Therefore, Mao Dun simply chose to leave.

He knew that after the incident of the Donghu people, he wanted to go south to recapture the Hetao Plain, and by the way, the idea of completely consuming the 300,000 Donghu cavalry in this battle was completely shattered.

Mao Dun is a hero, and since he can't do anything, he immediately figured out the best way to deal with it.

Escape from the territory of the Qin people! Back to the savannah!

As long as he can successfully return to the prairie, even if the Xiongnu completely lose the 200,000 troops in the south, there will still be 300,000 people in the Wolf Juxu Mountain. Mainly in a few years, when a new group of warriors grow up Chengren, the Xiongnu still have a chance to recapture the Hetao Plain seized by the Qin people, even if they can't recapture the Hetao Plain, in the case of driving away the Yueshi and destroying the two old enemies of Donghu, the Xiongnu are still the overlords of the steppe.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can leave this Qin Jiuyuan County alive and return to the grassland alive.

The strategy of dividing the troops was put forward by Mao Dun. Of course, it was not he who said it, how could such a strategy of sacrificing the Hun warriors to help him escape and damage his prestige could come out of his great Maudun Shan Yu's mouth.

When he died, he promoted the son of the patriarch of the Lan clan to be his new captain of the guard. Then, through his mouth, there were a cadre of Xiongnu nobles and generals who followed him south, such as the left and right Dadanghu, knelt down in front of more than 100,000 Hun cavalry, and begged the great Mao Dunshan to divide his troops.

In addition to the ordinary Huns who worship Maudun, which of those Hun nobles who steal high positions is willing to die for Maudun? But the arms can't twist the thighs. They had no choice but to do so.

Driven by these nobles, and at the request of more than 100,000 heroic Xiongnu warriors, Mao Dun divided the Hun cavalry that followed him into three routes, which still had 140,000 left.

There are 50,000 people on the east and west roads, and the division of troops is led by two major households. However, Mao Dun alone led 40,000 elite Huns to continue northward. The fewer the troops, the faster they walked, and the smaller the possibility of being caught up by the Qin people.

Mao Dun knew this, but ordinary Huns did not know. They only knew that even if the great Maudun Shan Yu divided his army, he was thinking about them, and he only led 40,000 men to the north.

The morale of the Hun cavalry suddenly increased greatly.

If the great Maudon can ignore his own danger for them, what else do they have to fear?

…… On the vast plains, in the dark night sky, six huge fire dragons were chasing and fleeing on the grassland. The distance between each other is shortening little by little.

The woman's willow-eyebrow thin moon in the sky seemed to know what was going to happen next, as if she was afraid to see the blood that was about to be sprinkled all over the prairie, summoned a thin dark cloud, buried her whole body behind the cloud, and appeared and disappeared, secretly looking at the earth with the roar of horses' hooves.

The first to take over was Wang Gan's 20,000 Vermilion Bird Army who came from Yunzhong County and the Hun cavalry who fled to the east, whether it was Wang Gan or the 50,000 Hun cavalry who knew that they had been discovered and fled for their lives, when they suddenly found the endless torches in the distance, they didn't know who the other party was.

Because Wang Qian came from the direction of Yunzhong County, and the Qin people would obviously only appear behind him. So could this cavalry that seemed to be 20,000 people coming from the direction of Yunzhong be the great Xiongnu Shan who sent into the territory of Yunzhong County yesterday to plunder his own people?

Thinking about this, all the Hun cavalry, including the Hun Zuo Da who led the East Route Army to flee, were also overjoyed. At this time, everyone knew that in the case of dividing the troops into three routes, once they were caught up by the Qin people, the more troops around them, the greater the chance of escaping.

The Hun cavalry, who was extremely excited, had already reached the limit of speed, and under the influence of this excitement, they were once again three points faster. Even if some people keep falling off the horse because they stumble, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, no one is worried about feeling sorry for themselves anymore.

None of this matters, the important thing is that they are about to have reinforcements joining. The chances of survival are greater.

Wang Gan also didn't know that when he saw his army appear, he turned around and turned around to kill the Qin army or the Huns who came to his side. Because both are possible.

It is precisely because the Suzaku Army knows that the possible surnames of those who encounter themselves and the possible surnames of those who bump into the Huns exist, so when they saw this cavalry desperately rushing towards them, they were all cautious in their hearts.

No matter who it is, it's always Mercedes-Benz until now, and it's finally about to find an organization.

It's good to be your own people, not your own people, that's the best. Not being one's own means military merit! Military merit means knighthood, meaning medal. It means the summons of His Majesty the Emperor.

The speed of the Suzaku Army also increased suddenly!

When the two armies were a mile apart, the two armies were still approaching at a rapid pace like arrows from the string. The dark night gave both sides the greatest cover, not only covering their own sight, but also blocking the other party's view. This is true even if there are torches.

At five hundred paces, the Suzaku soldiers were the first to notice that something was wrong.

The Hun barbarians' attire was too strange or too conspicuous, and the sheepskin shoulders were also unusually conspicuous in the dark night, not to mention that there were torches shining on them.

It was found that it was the Hun barbarians, five hundred paces away, and the two armies that were also galloping desperately, in the thunderous roar of horses' hooves, it was still in the night. Wang Qian was too late to give any orders, and he couldn't give any orders.

At this moment, there is only one word, rush, rush over, chisel through the cavalry formation of the Huns!

At a distance of three hundred paces, the Hun cavalry finally realized that the situation was wrong, because the cavalry rushing quickly on the opposite side still had no intention of stopping at this distance, and they were always shrouded in darkness, even under the light of torches, they could only see a black patch.

A black patch?

"It's Qin!" Zuo Dadanghu suddenly seemed to remember something, and let out a terrible howl in his throat.

In the thunderous roar of horses' hooves, this terrible howl was like a little wave in the sea, and did not stir up any waves. Even the people around him didn't hear what Zuo Da Danghu was shouting clearly, but they just wondered why Zuo Da Danghu, who was originally very happy, suddenly had a hellish and frightened expression.

At two hundred paces, the Hun cavalry at the front finally realized that something was wrong. Black, isn't that the color of the Qin people's armor?

It's too late!

Battle, erupt without warning!

The familiar and terrifying humming sound sounded like a soul-hooking sound in the ears of all the Hun barbarians who found that it was the Qin cavalry galloping over. Under the flickering light of the torches, the dense black crossbow arrows flashed with a terrifying cold glow, and suddenly appeared above the heads of the Hun cavalry like ghosts, and pounced fiercely with a sharp whistling sound.
