Chapter 12: Crossing the Desert

The Qin army went all the way to the north, and from time to time it would encounter the nuisance of the Hun flying horses, however, all of them were killed by the Qin army without exception, and did not cause much damage to the Qin army.

Mao Dun's plan is not bad, but he ignores the historical fact that the Qin tribe is the originator of flying horses. In terms of using flying horses, if the Qin tribe recognized the second, the Xiongnu did not dare to recognize the first. When the Qin tribe used flying horses to fight with the surrounding tribes in the Longxi River Valley, where were the Xiongnu?

Moreover, the Qin army also had a crossbow, which could suppress the Xiongnu's cavalry, and where did the Xiongnu please the Qin army's flying cavalry.

Not to mention the heavy casualties of the Hun flying horse, it also provided convenience for the Qin army to find a water source, only need to kill the Hun flying horse, and then follow the hoof prints of the Hun flying horse to find the water source, no trouble.

In this way, the Qin army's northward advance was very smooth, and ten days later, they came to the Thousand Miles Peerless Domain.

Thousands of miles of desperate territory is a no-man's land, where the natural environment is extremely harsh, not suitable for passage, even the Huns have to be careful when passing here. It is not easy for the Qin army to pass through the Thousand Miles Peerless Domain.

Wei Yu ordered the Qin army to rest on the edge of the Desperate Domain for three days, one is to recover his strength, and the other is to prepare.

When marching in the Desperate Domain, it is possible to find a water source, and the most prepared by the Qin army is water, not only the water for people to drink, but also for the war horses to drink, which is really a big burden.

Three days later, under the order of Wei Yu, Ying Zheng led the front army to walk in the head and took the lead in entering the thousand-mile realm. The main force of the Qin army followed closely and entered the Thousand Miles Peerless Domain. If you look from the sky, you can only see a long black dragon marching in the Peerless Domain.

After entering the Peerless Domain, Qin Jun felt the harshness of the natural environment here, and the temperature was low. It's cold. Although it is already spring now. In the Central Plains, it has long been the season of spring flowers. However, the thousands of miles away from the region is a cold wind howling, and there is no sign of spring flowers blooming.

The more north-facing, the later spring comes, which is normal.

Another difficulty is not that you can't find a water source, it's that it's hard to find a water source. It was much more difficult to find a water source in the Thousand Miles Absolute Domain, but fortunately, the Qin army had already prepared for everything. It didn't cause any trouble to the Qin army.

In the thousands of miles of the Peerless Domain, the Huns' flying horses are gone. Marching in a thousand-mile region, not only is it difficult for the Qin army, but even the Xiongnu also find it difficult, and it is difficult to find a water source, and it is difficult for the Xiongnu to survive, and it is normal to have no Xiongnu flying horses.

When the Qin army under the leadership of Li Mu also entered the Thousand Miles Absolute Domain, the situation was no different from that of Wei Yu.

It only took a thousand miles to pass through the Peerless Domain, and the Qin army entered Mobei. Then a shocking war is about to break out.

alone in the royal court, in the king's tent.

Tou Man Shan Yu, Wu Sun Luo, Mao Dun. and a number of ministers present, all with a look of regret.

"Hey! Although the prince's plan was good, he didn't expect it to fulfill the Qin army. ”

"That's right. If we want to use the flying horse, we can't pollute all the water sources, and we have to leave water for the flying horses, but the result is that the Qin army takes advantage. ”

"If you knew this was the case, why use this plan to be self-defeating."

The ministers shouted loudly, and were very dissatisfied with Mao Dun's proposal to harass the Qin army with flying horses and attack the Qin army's baggage.

The plan of using flying horses to deal with the Qin army not only failed to achieve the goal, but left enough water for the Qin army, so that the Huns' action of polluting the water source with dead cattle, dead horses and dead sheep was in vain, and it was impossible for the ministers not to regret it.

Mao Dun listened to it, only to feel a fever on his face, and his fists were clenched. This was the first time he had tried to make a plan, but it ended in failure, and he was very ashamed and angry.

"Enough!" Tou Manshan Yu shouted in a deep voice: "Are you saying this useful now? If you were smart, why didn't you bring it up sooner? At the moment, it's purely smart after the fact, and it's useful. ”

Tou Manshan Yu is still very satisfied with Mao Dun's son, and of course he has to defend Mao Dun. Although the plan to use flying horses to deal with the Qin army failed, it is not that this plan is bad, but this plan was used by the wrong object and used on Qin Jun, the originator of flying horses. If this project were to be retargeted, it would probably be a huge success.

Tou Manshan is right in saying this, these ministers are "hindsight" and "hindsight". They did not think of this when they were deliberating, and it is useless to say it now.

The ministers were also ashamed and said no more.

"Da Danyu, the matter of flying cavalry failed to tell the Qin army, and it also lost a lot of elites, which is not conducive to the next war." One of the ministers asked a very serious question.

The Xiongnu used flying horses to deal with the Qin army, not only failed to achieve the purpose of harassing the Qin army, but suffered a lot of casualties, adding up to 50,000 or 60,000 elite cavalry. This is a great loss for the Huns who have not yet recovered, and it will not be possible for them not to regret it.

"Hey!" A sigh sounded, and the minister glared at Mao Dun fiercely, which means that it was all your bad idea.

"Da Danyu, or we will temporarily retreat to avoid the edge of the Qin army, and when the Qin army has no food and grass, we will wait for the opportunity to move and beat the Qin army fiercely." There are ministers who are busy with ideas.

"Yes. The Qin army is very sharp, and it can't be used to beat its edge, so it's better to avoid it for the time being. A chorus of echoes rang out.

"No!" Tou Manshan Yu shook his head and said: "Even in Monan, the flying cavalry of the Great Huns failed to disturb the Qin army, and the thousands of miles of the Peerless Domain can also make the Qin army's sharp soldiers suffer a big setback and low morale, if we give the Qin army time to rest, this battle will be even more difficult to fight." We should take advantage of the fact that the Qin army has just stepped out of the thousand-mile desperate region and has not recovered its vitality, and attack the Qin army fiercely. ”

"Brilliant plan! The big order is very good! ”

How terrible the Thousand Miles of Peerless Domain is, the Huns will not be unaware. Not to mention the Qin army, even the Xiongnu, who are familiar with the desert, also find it very difficult. The Qin army passed through the thousand-mile peerless domain, which must be full of difficulties and great consumption, and if the Qin army did not recover and launched an attack, it would definitely be able to defeat the Qin army.

"The Qin army went north this time and divided into two routes, one way to take Shan Yu Wangting, and all the way to Wolf Juxu Mountain. These two places are the places that the Great Huns must defend, and this battle must be fought. Tou Manshan frowned, and said: "This single is decided, I will sit in the royal court, and King Zuo Xian will sit in the wolf Juxu Mountain." ”

"Please rest assured that the big order is large. The minister must have struck a blow at the Qin army. The Qin army was defeated. Avenge the revenge of the year. Wusun lowered his head and raised his chest, and said Ang Ang.

"Good! Zuo Xianwang has a lot of ambition, and he can rest assured. Tou Manshan nodded heavily, greatly appreciative, and said, "The prince will assist King Zuoxian." ”

"With the help of the prince, this battle will definitely be won." Although Mao Dun is not very old, he is very intelligent. Wusunluo was greatly admired.

In this way, Wusunluo and Mao Dun left Shan Yu Wangting and went straight to Wolf Juxu Mountain.

"The book is in order: The warriors of the Huns are marching towards the desperate region." Tou Mandan waved his right hand and ordered loudly, "The warriors of the Great Huns are waiting for the Qin army on the edge of the Peerless Domain!" ”

"Haha!" The consumption of thousands of miles of the Absolute Domain to the Qin army must be very large, waiting for the Qin army at the edge of the Absolute Domain, the Xiongnu are waiting for work, and they can take advantage of the lack of Qin soldiers to attack the Qin army, and the odds of victory are quite large. The ministers were overjoyed.

As soon as Touman Danyu's order was handed down, the Xiongnu began to drive towards the Desperate Domain.

"You know what? The hateful and hateful Qin Dog is here. Right now, we're crossing the Frontier. ”

"Peerless Domain, don't talk about Qin Dog, even the warriors of the Great Huns don't dare to pass easily, it's too difficult. Qin Gou will definitely be sleepy and tired through thousands of miles of Peerless Domain, so we will stay at the edge of the Desperate Domain, and we will definitely be able to beat Qin Gou and avenge the revenge of the year! ”

"As long as Qin Gou is defeated, the Central Plains people will lose their sharpest minions, and the warriors of the Great Huns can take the opportunity to go south and capture the land of Hetao."

"The land of Hetao is fertile, beautiful, blue and green, the climate is warm, and it is a natural pasture, I have never dreamed of it."

"As long as the land of the Hetao is taken, the Great Xiongnu will have more cattle, sheep and horses, and the Great Xiongnu will be stronger, and they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Also, the land of Hetao is less than a thousand miles away from Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and the warriors of the Great Huns ride horses, but they can reach the city of Xianyang in a few days. I heard that there are mountains of treasures in Xianyang City, and there are countless Central Plains women with fine skin and tender meat, more than the sheep on the grassland. As long as they enter Xianyang, they are all Great Hun warriors. ”

"We must do our best in this battle and hit Qin Gou hard."

The Xiongnu army had a lot of discussions during the march, and the most talked about was how to beat the Qin army. Looking forward to the benefits they would get after defeating the Qin army, looking at their excitement, as if they had defeated the Qin army, captured the Hetao, and even captured Xianyang.

There were a lot of Hun troops transferred from Shan Yu Wangting, and they rushed to camp on the edge of the desperate region, only to see a tent connected, one after another, I don't know how many, and I can't see the end at a glance.

Moreover, the Xiongnu army stationed here had high morale and a blazing fighting spirit, waiting for the Qin army to come and send them to their deaths.

At the same time, the Zuoxian kings Wusunluo and Maodun, who rushed to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, mobilized the Xiongnu army to rush to the edge of the desperate region and stationed there. Just waiting for the Qin army to come and send him to death.

XXXXXXX

"Rumble!" The Qin army marched, the sound of hooves was like thunder, splashing large patches of smoke and dust, connecting the sky and the ground, giving people a heavy sense of depression.

Ying Zheng waved his right hand and ordered loudly, saying, "Stop advancing and camp on the spot." ”

"Stop?" An exclamation sounded, coming from the mouth of the Qin army's sharp soldiers, all of them with surprise.

"Prince, one day, you will be able to get out of the desperate domain, and you can kill the Hun dogs, why stop advancing?" A group of Qin army soldiers were puzzled.

"Gotta get it." Before Ying Zheng could speak, he saw a horse galloping towards him, and shouted from afar, saying, "The national captain has an order, stop advancing and camp on the spot." ”

"Hey!" When the Qin army heard this, they were very unhappy, but they didn't dare to disobey the military order, so they had to stop.

"Prince, the lieutenant invites you to go." The Qin army warrior who gave the order came to the front and saluted Yingzheng.

"Got it." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, took Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Wang Ben, and rushed to see Wei Yu.

When Yingzheng and the others rushed to Wei Yu's Chinese military tent, they only heard a shout, and the generals kept shouting, and they were very dissatisfied with Wei Yu's order to be stationed.

"Lieutenant, are you confused? One day you'll be able to get out of the Desperate Realm, so why stop moving forward? ”

"That's right. As long as we grit our teeth and hold our breath, we will be able to get out of the desperate domain and attack the Huns. ”

"Captain, hurry up, take back this chaotic life, let's move forward."

The Qin generals roared loudly, all of them unhappy. (To be continued......)
