On the 25th day of August in the first year of Great Qin II, early in the morning!

The sun hasn't risen yet!

Shangjun is close to the area of Jiuyuan County, on the road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan. Less than one hundred and fifty miles from here, there is Jiuyuan City.

A flaming red Suzaku flag flutters high in the air!

Countless soldiers in black armor with a horny Suzaku imprinted on their right chests lay on both sides of the gallop road. War horses leisurely ate the verdant green grass in the clearing.

This is the resting place of the 75,000-strong Suzaku Army that galloped to the aid of the Jiuyuan Army in the middle of the night!

Because the Suzaku army was traveling lightly, except for the necessary dry food, crossbow arrows, weapons, and armor, in order to reduce the weight of the war horses under the crotch to the greatest extent, they did not carry any things such as marching tents at all.

Fortunately, today's weather, it has just entered autumn, and it is not very cold for a group of people to sleep together! It's better that this is the territory of Daqin, don't worry about someone sneaking attack, the Huns can't hit Shangjun so quickly!

"Get General Wang Qian!" In the small post house on the edge of the gallop, the general Meng Tian has already gotten up!

This small post house can only vacate a simple house for the general Meng Tian to live in. Even Wang Gan, who was already the Marquis of Wucheng and the general of Suzaku, was like all the soldiers of Suzaku Army, huddled in the crowd and lying in clothes.

Meng Tian was originally determined to sleep in the field like all the Suzaku soldiers, but at the insistence of Wang Qian and many soldiers, he still lived in this only room.

Meng Tian, it's old!

After five or six consecutive days of running, anyone could see the thick exhaustion on Meng Tian's face. Although Meng Tian's back was still as straight as the giant pine at any time, he was over half a hundred years old after all.

"Yes!" The dragon guard, who was waiting outside the house, answered in a low voice, and then there was a slight sound of footsteps, and gradually faded away.

The message from Jiuyuan City that the dragon guard on Meng Tian's hand had just delivered.

The Huns sent tens of thousands of people to kill in the direction of Yunzhong and Yanmen, which was obviously not very good news for anyone.

Morton is really not a good character!

"General! The last general, Wang Qian, asks to see! ”

Wang Gan's voice sounded low outside the house!

All the Suzaku soldiers were more tired than Meng Tian and the others.

Each Suzaku soldier wears armor, carries a saber, and has a strong crossbow and crossbow arrows! Taken together, these things weigh at least dozens of pounds!

And whenever the war horses had to stop and rest, all the Suzaku army hurried on foot! Lead the horse on foot!

In addition, the dry food on each person's body was not very much, and the grain, grass and baggage of the 2,000 box carts escorted by the heavy armored cavalry were obviously not as fast as their light cavalry, and they had fallen far behind hundreds of miles behind.

Since yesterday, all the Suzaku soldiers have begun to cut the rations every day under Meng Tian's order. Not a single person complained. Even many soldiers secretly saved part of the cut dry food again!

After several days of traveling, today is the longest day for the Suzaku soldiers to rest! Three hours!

In the first five days, there was never more than two hours of rest every day! Most of the rest of the time is spent on the road, either riding a horse or leading a horse on foot!

Therefore, whether it was Long Wei or Wang Gan, they deliberately lowered their voices, so as not to wake up the sleeping Suzaku soldiers around the post house.

"Come in!" Meng Tian retracted his thoughts and said softly.

"The last general will see the general!" Wang Qian came in, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed to Meng Tian, and said.

In any way, Meng Tian is worthy of his salute as the Marquis of Wucheng. And Wang Qian is indeed doing this.

"No need to be polite! Look at this! Meng Tian said and handed the letter from Meng Hong in his hand to Wang Gan.

Wang Qian took it with both hands, and as his gaze passed, the expression on his face became more and more serious.

"General, please order!" Wang Qian put the letter in his hand on the bronze case in front of Meng Tian with both hands, and said in a deep voice. He knew very well that Meng Tian had called him to show him this letter, obviously because he had a plan in mind.

"Good! Wang Qian listens to the order! I order you to immediately lead 20,000 Suzaku troops along the gallop road into the territory of Yunzhong County, search for the traces of these Hun cavalry, and be sure to kill these tens of thousands of Hun barbarians who intend to plunder the people of our Great Qin! ”

Meng Tian didn't say anything, and simply ordered.

"The last general commands!" Wang Qian knelt on one knee and said solemnly.

"Go ahead! Ben will believe in the Suzaku Army, and I will believe in you! Meng Tian stared at Wang Qian and said in a deep voice.

"Knock knock!"

The long sound of war drums suddenly resounded through the quiet land of the early morning.

The Suzaku soldiers, who were originally sleeping in their clothes, jumped up when they heard the sound of the war drums, came to the stream by the gallop road, picked up two handfuls of water and wiped them on their faces, and then quickly found their war horses to assemble.

The drums fell.

The 75,000-strong Suzaku army had all stood on horseback, neatly arranged in a long column that stretched for several miles, standing quietly on the galloping road.

Wang Gan roared and took the lead in galloping out. Not in the direction of Jiuyuan County, but along the fork of the gallop road in the direction of Yunzhong. The 20,000 selected Vermilion Bird Army rode their horses at the same time, following behind Wang Gan.

Flags are unfurled, war horses neigh, hooves are like thunder!

Meng Tian silently looked at Wang Qian's army, which had gradually moved away, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "The army is marching quickly, today we must rush to the vicinity of Jiuyuan City!" ”

"Whoa!"

The generals of the Suzaku Army who surrounded him answered in unison.

…… In the early morning, before the sun rose, most of the people in Jiuyuan City were still asleep. Although no one is not afraid of the murderous Huns, Jiuyuan City, which is garrisoned by nearly 200,000 Jiuyuan troops, has given great confidence to both the people of Great Qin and the small alien tribes sheltered under the wings of Great Qin.

The Jiuyuan Army is synonymous with invincibility in the northern frontier of Great Qin!

And the news about the general Meng Tian's imminent return to Jiuyuan City doesn't know when it has quietly spread throughout Jiuyuan City!

Nearly 200,000 people of all ethnic groups in Jiuyuan City, who originally saw the overwhelming Huns and some people who were panicked, invariably chose to believe it when they heard the news.

The restless mood in the city was suddenly calm!

People who have not stayed on the northern border of Great Qin will never think of what the word Meng Tian represents in the northern border of Great Qin! It not only represents invincibility, but also represents tranquility and kindness!

This news was naturally released by Meng Hong and other shogunate generals after discussion. The great general Meng Tian is indeed coming back, and he is already on his way. Although there may be a Hun in the city, but so what?

The name Meng Tian brings the people of Daqin an invincible faith; Then what brought the Huns were countless nightmares!

What's more, under the heavily guarded situation of the Jiuyuan Army, there was no one in the Great Qin who could approach the walls and gates of Jiuyuan City, let alone the aliens who looked different from the Qin people.

Therefore, they were not worried about the news that the Great General Meng Tian was about to return to Jiuyuan City would leak out.

It was supposed to be a harmonious and quiet morning, but it was broken by the desolate sound of trumpets outside the city.

The soldiers guarding Jiuyuan City clearly saw that with the sound of the long horn coming from the camp of the Xiongnu army, the quiet Xiongnu camp that originally surrounded Jiuyuan City suddenly boiled.

People shout and neigh!

In a moment, the countless white felt tents that were tied around Jiuyuan City were put away by the Huns, and then the Hun cavalry that was originally surrounding Jiuyuan City got on their horses one after another, drove the carriages and sheep, and began to assemble!

The sound of the desolate trumpet never stopped!

It was not until the cavalry of the Xiongnu Chinese army battalion in the west of the city all mounted their horses and began to drive towards the north that they stopped abruptly!

As the horn stopped, the large camp of the Maudun Chinese army moved, and the Hun cavalry surrounded by the southeast, north and south began to converge towards the Xiongnu army in the north.

In less than half an hour, all the Xiongnu armies had already converged with the more than 100,000 Chinese troops of Maodun in the north of Jiuyuan City!

Immediately, the hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry who had converged left Jiuyuan City without looking back, and began to drive in the direction of Yunzhong County behind Jiuyuan City.

Did Morton give up Nine Plains City?

Wasn't he afraid that the nearly 200,000 Jiuyuan troops in Jiuyuan City would follow behind them and sneak attack?

As early as when there was an abnormality in the Xiongnu camp, the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall had already reported the abnormality of the Xiongnu camp to Meng Hong and other generals of the Jiuyuan Army! Now they are all on the north wall of Jiuyuan City, watching the Hun cavalry shouting and raising their whips to leave Jiuyuan City!

"General! Mao Dun is leaving the Jiuyuan Army and heading to Yunzhong County. The mallet Li Gang asked stupidly.

When all the generals of the Jiuyuan Army heard Li Gang's words, they rolled their eyes helplessly. This goods, everyone is not blind, you, a simple-minded guy with developed limbs, can see that the Huns are going to the clouds, can't others see it.

"It's really not easy!" Meng Hong ignored Li Gang and sighed.

"Yes! It doesn't matter where he goes! What should we do? The general ordered us to drag the Huns under Jiuyuan City! "Wang Xudao, the former general of the Jiuyuan Army, he was the first general to ask questions in the city yesterday.

"Someone! Immediately report the movements of the Huns to the general! Today, the general is going to lead the army to Jiuyuan City! At this time, if Mao Dun leaves, isn't it a waste of all his previous efforts? Maudun's move is nothing more than to lure me out of the city to fight! Then let him do it! I, the Jiuyuan Army, have never been afraid of the Huns! ”

Meng Hong, who was polite and polite, suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes, and sneered!

"Exactly! I, the Jiuyuan Army, have never been afraid of these vulgar Hun barbarians! General, let the last general lead the army to fight against the Hun barbarians, and he will definitely drag this Maodun back! Li Gang heard Meng Hong's words on the side, and the leopard's eyes suddenly shot out of excitement, and he asked for his life loudly.
