The fire in the city was so bright that most of the sky was red, and the sounds of fighting and screams were constantly heard. The porridge outside the city was not in a good mood at all, but frowned, and his eyes flickered.

The mount under the crotch also seemed to feel the anxiety of its master, and kept stepping on the horse's hooves, shaking the horse's head impatiently and snorting.

This was already the third county town that Ji Congee had captured, but he did not feel any joy at all, but became more and more flustered, and even lost interest in his favorite slaughter city.

A cavalryman rushed out of the broken city gate, galloped to the horse and grabbed the reins violently, and the horse roared and spun around a few times before stopping the momentum.

"King Hugh Tu, the county government has taken down, and the defenders inside have all been killed, Zuo Dadanghu asked me to come over and ask you what to do next." The Hun soldier gasped loudly, but his somewhat immature faces under the firelight were full of cruel smiles, and his eyes that looked at Ji Congee were undisguised with fierce desire.

"Nonsense, of course it's the old rules, get out." Ji Congee waved his hand impatiently, and did not forget to tell before leaving; "Tell Hetie that kid not to get too carried away, I don't care how he tosses, I must bring someone back to the team before dawn."

"Yes." The soldier replied in a rough voice, turned his horse's head, and rushed into the city impatiently. Several Hun leaders behind Ji Congee couldn't help but smile knowingly, they naturally knew what this "old rule" meant.

They didn't worry that they wouldn't get a share of the benefits if they didn't enter the city in person, because the sensible soldiers under Ji Congee would consciously send some of the most beautiful women in the city to them, and as for the gold and silver treasures, the rich booty would never be missing their share of the leaders.

When Ji Congee first took over the Xiongnu army, several leaders had more or less heard his nickname of "mad dog", and they really didn't want to be with this mad dog. But he didn't dare to resist Maudun's military order, so he had no choice but to bow to the leader's order. But after getting along with Ji Congee for a while, I found that this little prince was not as rude as rude, but very humble to several leaders.

Although he did treat the Qin people as rumored, he was bloodthirsty and captured the city, slaughtering the city for pleasure, indulging in the rape of soldiers and soldiers, and prostituting and plundering. But it is also very reasonable, and the loot obtained each time is given priority to a few heads, and he does not keep any of them, which also makes several heads look at the porridge differently and praise it.

Seeing that Ji Congee frowned, and didn't know what he was thinking, the head of Mo Yan's department couldn't help but tease; "I said King Hugh Tu, isn't everything going well for us, the sons and daughters are alive and well in the city at the moment, why do you look sullen."

Although Ji Congee was restless in his heart, he had no choice but to smile bitterly at this Mo Tou person; "Boss, the three messengers we sent to contact Shan Yu have not heard any news, and I am really worried in my heart, for fear that something will happen to Shan Yu."

An old man on the side couldn't help frowning, and hummed in an unhappy tone: "Just the goshawk on the grassland, I have never seen such a wise person in my life for most of my life, what accidents will he have, King Hugh Tu, don't talk nonsense." ”

Ji Congee felt a pang in his heart, and then remembered that this old man was Mao Dun's henchman, and hurriedly laughed: "Xiangguo is right, I'm worrying about it." ”

A middle-aged man had some insight, and said with some concern after listening to Ji Congee's words; "King Xiu Tu is not unreasonable, we are now in the hinterland of the Qin State, and we are far away from Shan Yu's army, so it is not wrong to be careful."

The man said loudly in a thick voice; "What is there to worry about, you see that the Qin people are not vulnerable at all, it must be right as expected, Guanzhong is fat here, but it is very empty, and there is no force to block our way forward. As long as we follow Shan Yu's orders to open and kill, and wash the Guanzhong in blood, the main force of the Qin army will definitely return to the division to rescue, and at that time, Shan Yu can wave his troops south to meet us from the north and easily obtain Guanzhong. ”

This is exactly Mao Dun's plan, but according to expectations, the Qin army should pull out the camp and go south at this time, but Ji Congee did not see any signs of reinforcement from the Qin army, but just held the city step by step, preferring the city to fall and be slaughtered rather than take the initiative to retreat, as if waiting for something. This also made Ji Congee have a faint ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't say why.

It wasn't until the three groups of emissaries he sent that there was no news of Maudun, and he became more and more sure of his fears, that something unusual must have happened in the north. As for what happened, good or bad, he couldn't guess.

Looking at the raging flames burning in the city, the worry in Ji Congee's heart became more and more intense, so he said in a deep voice; "Ladies and gentlemen, if the messenger has not contacted Shangshan Yu by sunset tomorrow, then we will withdraw our troops and return."

The Mo Tou man shouted; "King Hutu, are you cowardly afraid of the Qin people? We are obviously unimpeded all the way, but you have to withdraw the army, and you still claim to be the hungry wolf of my Huns, in my opinion, you are just a crazy ......"

Before he could finish the word "mad dog", he suddenly saw Ji Congee glaring at him viciously, his red eyes revealing a murderous gaze, and he looked at him like a bloodthirsty hungry wolf. The man Rao had been through the wind and waves for a long time, but he was also frightened by Ji Congee's terrible gaze, lowered his head and opened his mouth, but his throat was dry, and he didn't dare to say a word "no" anymore.

Ji Congee forcibly suppressed the anger that almost broke out in his heart, and said in a flat tone; "I'm the commander-in-chief, and the military is up to me to decide. Passed on our military order, and tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow will immediately withdraw the camp to the northwest, waiting for Shan Yu's order as he walks. ”

"Yes!"

In the early morning of the second day, the Xiongnu army, which had been assembled outside the city, stopped continuing to advance eastward, and instead changed its course and slowly withdrew to the northwest. This time they did not follow the Beishan trail used for the sneak attack, but turned to the plain trail along the Jingshui coast, since their whereabouts have been exposed, the Huns fortunately burned and looted all the way with great fanfare.

At dusk, a bloodied Hun cavalry stumbled into the ranks, and then ordered to immediately stop the looting of the Qin villages and towns along the coast, and instead accelerated the retreat with all his strength, without making any stops on the road.

Although Ji Congee blocked the news, the speculation about the defeat of the Xiongnu headquarters still spread far and wide, and the whole army was boiling, and people were panicked for a while. Ji Congee didn't have time to investigate the source of the rumors and legends, he was already anxious at the moment, but kept urging the army to speed up the journey.

In fact, the news he received was twice as bad as the rumors circulating in the army, and the soldiers only rumored that the battle of Maotun had been lost and suffered heavy losses, but the actual situation was that the whole army was annihilated! There was hardly a formed Xiongnu army in the Great Wall other than them.

The mortally wounded messenger brought the frightening news that the entire north of Jingshui had become a burial ground for the Huns, and the corpses of the Huns soaked and swollen could be seen everywhere, and the previous two messengers had been shot by the Qin rangers, and only he escaped with a few arrows and a few luck.

Ji Congee was terrified at this time, he couldn't think of how Han Xin used to create this kind of flood, and he even had some doubts about whether it was really Changshengtian who had abandoned the Huns, so he helped the Qin army to punish the greedy Huns. He didn't dare to stay in Guanzhong anymore at this moment, but desperately urged the army to speed up and escape from here.

He knew very well in his heart that the headquarters of the Xiongnu had been destroyed, so there was no reason why Han Xin would let go of their partial division, especially such a partial division that was full of the blood of the Qin people. The reason why there is nothing abnormal now is just the calm before the storm, and the Qin army must be gathering a large army at this time, looking at them with fierce eyes, wanting to swallow them in one bite.

Ji Congee's fears were soon realized, and in the early morning of the third day, when the sun had just risen, the black banner of the Qin army appeared on the horizon. Ji Congee's heart sank to a low point, he knew that he had missed the best time to escape, and now what awaited him would be a bloody battle.

Either you will survive or you will be completely finished.

Ji Congee decisively ordered the whole army to stop retreating, turned around and set up a formation to prepare for battle.

The heaviest horsepower and morale on the grassland, if you blindly escape, it will only make the soldiers sleepy and tired, like frightened birds, and the battle will be lost before it is even fought. If you are bent on fighting, you may not have no chance of winning.

The pursuing cavalry of the Qin State also followed in a mighty manner, and the banner in it was the huge character "Han". The Qin army was not in a hurry to attack, but formed a formation to confront the Huns from afar, and seemed to be cultivating horsepower and waiting for the opportunity.

The only thing that makes Ji Congee feel relieved is that this Qin army is not as strong as imagined, and it looks like it is comparable to its own strength from a distance, which also makes Ji Congee see the hope of victory, you must know that the cavalry is fighting, and the Huns are the real dominant.

It didn't take long for Ji Congee to realize that he was wrong. By the afternoon, the Qin army had finally taken the lead in launching an offensive.

More than 10,000 archers and cavalry divided into several fast horses out of the formation, galloped to a place away from the Hun army one and a half arrows away from the sky and rushed to the sky, by galloping horses dense like rain arrows fell from the sky, the Huns in the front line continued to scream again and again, the Huns panicked with their bows to fight back, but because the bow and arrows lost slightly to the Qin people in the range and the counterattack effect was not obvious.

Seeing that the inferior equipment caused his own combat disadvantage, Ji Congee immediately ordered the cavalry to attack the Qin army's archers, intending to use hand-to-hand combat to make up for the gap in equipment.

Seeing the Hun iron cavalry rushing forward, the archers of the Qin army did not panic, but quickly retreated into the Qin army array behind them, and the knights in the front row raised the crossbow machine in their hands and shot decisively. The terrifying lethality of the Qin crossbow is undoubted at a glance, the dense crossbow arrows are nailed to the bodies of the Huns at the forefront like a storm, and the huge mechanical force throws their bodies high and falls from the horse's back.

The land of two arrows is fast under the horse in a flash, but the Huns have paved a corpse for this, after the second disease, the Huns' soldiers have approached, the crossbow cavalry quickly spread out on both sides, out of the gap rushed out of an iron horse, a horse in the lead is the Meng Shi holding a big axe, he neighed and roared, and the battle axe held high mercilessly cut the Huns close to the horse.

It was like two torrents slamming together, splashing a flower of flesh and blood, and the screams of falling horses were endless, and the Qin and Hun soldiers all roared loudly, wielding big knives and just trying to cut the enemy in front of them into two pieces.

It's a complete balance of power, the two sides don't have any skills, just smash together, and each other desperately moves forward, trying to press the opponent back. One after another the warriors fell, but no one retreated, everyone knew that the cavalry was fighting with momentum and momentum, and retreating was tantamount to giving up the chance of victory. In terms of equestrianism, the Huns who grew up on horseback were far superior to the Qin army, but the Qin army had a saddle that they did not have, and they could chop more satisfactorily on horseback. Under the advantages of one and the other, the two sides are unexpectedly comparable.

Han Xin did not go into battle in person, he just watched from the sidelines in the Chinese army, and he found that the Huns also did not use all their strength. After the fierce battle, most of the cavalry still only watched the battle. Like Han Xin, Ji Congee is also waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the moment when Qin Jun will reveal his flaws.

The soldiers on both sides who are fighting seem to be like an appetizer before a big meal, just a temptation between the two commanders. Ji Congee was waiting for Han Xin to reveal his flaws, but Han Xin didn't plan to wait forever, he planned to create opportunities by himself.

With a wave of his hand, thousands of cavalry slowly walked out of the team, about 3,000 people, and the leader was the fierce general Yingbu.

Unlike ordinary cavalry, these cavalrymen are covered in fine armor, even the horses are neatly draped, and the mounts under the crotch are even taller horses, far taller than ordinary war horses.

This is Han Xin's carefully built heavy cavalry, with a saddle, the heavy cavalry can better grasp the balance on horseback, can make spear stabbing and other actions, instead of simply relying on impact force. However, the cost of this team of heavy cavalry is indeed extremely high, and the special war horses need to be fed with fine food is a terrifying number, plus a well-built armor, weapons, and mules and horses that need to carry heavy armor when marching. It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of heavy armored cavalry is a special force piled up with gold, so it is extremely difficult to promote, and the power of the Extreme Qin State can only maintain the scale of 3,000 people.

The leader of this army was none other than Yingbu, who was known for his bravery, and he opened his mouth wide, gasping for breath, his face full of excitement, and he seemed very satisfied with the subordinate that Han Xin had chosen for him.

No army could match the heavy cavalry behind him, and when used properly, this cavalry was almost a symbol of invincibility.

Han Xin waved his big hand, and Yingbu immediately understood, and his subordinates all followed him down and raised their carbines.

"Victory is ours." Yingbu roared in the sky and rushed out first, followed by three thousand heavy horsemen behind him.

Ji Congee soon noticed the cavalry approaching him, and also noticed their oddities. These black-covered cavalry were extremely slow, but they slowly accelerated with the momentum of the downhill slope, becoming faster and faster, and gradually accelerating, like a torrent of water.

The Huns quickly drew their bows and arrows, trying to use their bows and arrows to crush the overwhelmed cavalry, but a terrifying scene soon appeared. The dense rain of arrows clanged on the Qin army, but it was bounced off by the armor and was unscathed. Except for a few unlucky ghosts who fell off their horses, the Qin army suffered almost no losses.

The Huns watched with wide eyes in horror as these steel monsters rushed into the army, slowly, but unstoppable. The swords of the Huns slashed on the armor of these cavalrymen, but they could only leave a few knife marks, and then they were randomly waved by the Qin army's backhand, and they were wounded and broken by the cavalry guns. The Huns soon found that there was almost no way to stop the rampage of these monsters, and they rushed and killed at will in the Hun army, and suddenly there was chaos, and the soldiers retreated.

Seeing that the heavy cavalry he had carefully built was so sharp, a smile appeared on Han Xin's face. Now that Yingbu has opened a gap, he naturally will not miss this precious opportunity. Pointing straight ahead, he yelled; "Kill."

Tens of thousands of Qin troops frantically poured in with the gap opened by the heavy cavalry, and the Xiongnu army was defeated and retreated, and it barely stopped the rout after retreating for more than ten miles. Ji Congee led the frantic counterattack of his subordinates regardless of the casualties, and finally stopped the offensive of the Qin army. The Qin army pursued for dozens of miles, the team was already in disarray, and the heavy cavalry was far behind, Han Xin saw that the soldiers were tired, and if they continued to fight, they were afraid that they would increase a lot of casualties in vain, so he ordered to suspend the attack.

At sunset, the Qin army and the Xiongnu army confronted each other again and stopped the entangled fighting. It's just that there was joy in the Qin army, while the Huns on the opposite side were sad and uneasy. The Huns, who had suffered heavy casualties during the day, had lost the only advantage they had, and were much smaller than the Qin army in terms of troops.

At this time, Ji Congee unexpectedly gathered everyone and read out the news from the royal court aloud. He said that Shan Yu had been defeated in Longbei, and the Xiongnu army had suffered heavy losses and had retreated to the grassland, and now they were alone and completely abandoned.

The initial panic was replaced in an instant by monstrous anger, and the Hun soldiers raised their fists and shouted angrily. Ji Congee took the opportunity to say that now that the retreat has been broken, it is impossible for them to retreat to the grassland, and everyone here has the blood of the Qin people on their hands, and the Qin army will never let them go.

Since war is death, surrender is death, and death is death on the left and right, it is better to die vigorously like a man.

Although despair can destroy the fighting spirit of an army, it can also make a lone army that has lost a chance to survive burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness. Obviously, it is the latter that Ji Congee is going to do.

In the early morning of the second day, the Qin army launched an attack, and they were surprised to find that the Huns on the opposite side not only did not collapse, but sacrificed their lives to fight, making it difficult for the Qin army, which had the advantage.

But after all, there was still a huge disparity in strength, and soon the Huns were ruthlessly torn apart by the iron cavalry of the Qin army in the end. When the panicked leaders found Ji Congee, he was calmly watching the battlefield down the hill on the high ground next to the front line.

"King Hugh Tu, we can't stand it anymore, what should we do?" The leaders cried loudly, but Ji Congee did not respond at all, still motionless, and let the leaders say everything, but they did not look back.

Gradually, someone finally noticed that something was wrong, and stepped forward to twist Ji Congee's body violently, but saw a completely unfamiliar face under the helmet and was terrified.

"Where's the porridge man?" The angry leaders roared.

The frightened soldier stammered; "King Hugh Tu ran away last night, and he asked me to pretend to be him here."

The angry leader saw the soldier in half with a single sword, and roared wildly in the sky; "Ji Congee, you mad dog, I curse you, curse you not to die well, and your soul will never be at peace."
