At sunset, the goshawk hovered over the grassland for a long time, but it refused to fall.

On the grassland, the sound of killing is moving, and two armies in different costumes are fighting with their lives. Mao Dun originally wanted to take advantage of the Qin army's unpreparedness to attack quickly, but unexpectedly, Wang Jing was unusually alert, and found the traces of the Huns from a distance, and ordered the whole army to fight, and at the same time quickly reported to Han Xin.

Mao Dun saw that the sneak attack failed, but fortunately he killed with great fanfare, Wang Jing was already prepared, and threw the baggage and carriage far behind the battle, and saw the Huns covering up, but he was not afraid, and led his troops to meet the attack.

This team of Golden Horde horsemen was the elite of the elite of the Xiongnu army, and they were full of hatred for the Qin people. The Qin army was the elite of the northern army, with skilled and well-trained archers and horses, and several big victories boosted their morale. Although the Huns outnumbered them, they were not afraid, and pounced viciously as Wang Jing brandished his weapon.

Both sides are light horses, and the same tactics are hedging with horse momentum. Every confrontation was accompanied by the roar of the soldiers, the mournful screams of the war horses before they died, and a large number of cavalry screamed and fell.

After three rounds of hedging, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the numerical advantage of the Huns gradually became prominent. Seeing that the situation was not favorable to the Qin army, Wang Jing immediately changed his tactics, rushed directly to kill, and fought together.

Wang Jing took the lead, wielding a heavy spear unstoppable, covered in blood, and unable to distinguish whether it was the enemy's or his own. He took dozens of horsemen, and he slammed into the Huns like a sharp knife, and there was almost no one to take advantage of the big guns. When Qin Bing saw that the commander was so brave, his morale was immediately high, and he yelled and fought bravely. For a while, the battle with the Huns was on par, and it did not fall behind.

In the distance, Maudun was staring coldly at the battlefield surrounded by a group of cavalry, his eyes like a poisonous snake.

He didn't like to go into battle and take the lead, and he always believed that the most important thing for a good commander was to have a brain, not to rely on brute force.

The Huns did not exert all their strength, and Maudun still kept more than 1,500 of his men with him. He was watching, waiting, waiting for the moment when the Qin people showed their flaws and killed them with one more blow.

It's a pity that he didn't wait for Wang Jing's flaws, but waited for Han Xin's reinforcements. When Qin Jun's figure appeared on the mountain reflecting the setting sun, Mao Dun felt that something was wrong.

Han Xin saw that Wang Jing had been entangled with the Huns, and it was already difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us, and if he led his army to rush in, he would be restrained. Seeing the cavalry of Maudun not far away, he guessed that it might be their commander, and immediately led his troops to roar and rush over.

Mao Dun originally thought that the Qin army had suffered heavy casualties in the siege, but there were only thousands of remnants, but he didn't expect that the Qin army still had reinforcements. In a hurry, he had to lead the army to meet him and fight with the newly arrived Qin army.

The fierce battle was in full swing, and suddenly the three horns sounded in the distance of the battlefield, and the sky was dark at this time, and Mao Dun saw the Qin army flag rolling in the distance, and faintly saw the neighing of men and horses in the darkness. couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that the Qin army had reinforcements coming, how could they dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly ordered to kill to the west. At this time, the Huns were already entangled and fighting with the Qin army, how could it be so simple to retreat calmly, and after paying a lot of losses, the Huns fled west in a hurry.

After a fierce battle, the Golden Horde rode down more than 2,300 corpses, and nearly half of them were lost. These people are the essence of the Hun army, which makes Mao Dun's flesh hurt, and he doesn't know how to deal with Touman in his heart. Let him fight the Qin army again, then I'm afraid that the remaining half of the people will also stay there, but if he doesn't continue to chase, he will lose half of the Golden Horde Cavalry, and Touman will definitely punish him heavily.

In desperation, Mao Dun had no choice but to monitor the Qin army from afar, and at the same time issued a conscription order to the western tribes of the Xiongnu, so that all the adult men in each department came to meet with weapons and horses.

The Qin army was not much better, and after a miserable victory, more than 1,400 people were killed and wounded, and their vitality was greatly damaged. The most fatal thing is that the whereabouts have been exposed, and they are tightly entangled by the Huns and cannot get out calmly, so they must always pay attention to the pursuers behind them.

In order to speed up the mobility of the troops, Han Xin ordered that all carriages be abandoned, and that the soldiers should be left with some fine gold and silver and the heads of important nobles, which they would put on the saddles of their own horses. The dozens of noble relatives of the Yan clan who had been carried in the army would also be abandoned, and Luan Ji proposed to kill them directly.

In an open field, more than a dozen women and teenagers of the Xiongnu were pushed and driven by the Qin army, they were Shan Yu's wife and nephews, Han Xin originally saw that they were weak and easy to control, so he put them in a carriage and brought them back with the army, wanting to leave Wang Li to Xianyang to offer prisoners and invite merit.

The dozen or so people were all crying, and they were pressed down and knelt on the ground, and they had already vaguely guessed their fate from Qin Jun's rough attitude. Yan Shi was also pushed out, his pretty face was pale, and when he saw that Wang Jing was also there, he seemed to see a life-saving straw, and rushed to Wang Jing like crazy, grabbing his feet and crying and begging. He will speak Qin dialect and Xiongnu dialect in his mouth, but he is desperately begging, how can he still have the temperament of a mother's world.

Wang Jing forcibly twisted his head, gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and two wolf-like soldiers rushed up and forcibly erected her, ignoring her crying. Wang Jing looked at Tian Shi again and bowed slightly. Tian Shi understood, so he shouted; "Kill."

There were several screams behind him, and the big sword raised in Qin Bing's hand was swung down, and the five men and women were separated. This is the five Qin soldiers who stepped forward to catch five people in the crowd and execute them, and there was a cry among the Huns, and the Yan family was even more frightened and rolled his eyes, and fainted directly.

A group of cavalry passed by in the distance, it was Han Xin, who was returning from the camp, and a Hun boy who was kneeling on the ground and was about to be executed suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly; "Han Shin."

Han Xin saw the crying here, knowing that it was the execution of the Hun prisoners, he felt a little unbearable, so he wanted to take a detour to avoid it. But when he heard someone shouting to him, he stopped his horse and looked back in astonishment.

But I saw that it was a Xiongnu boy, with a young appearance, fair complexion, and a luxurious animal skin on his body. Seeing Han Xin looking back at him, the young man struggled to raise the head that had been pressed by Qin Bing, and suddenly smiled at him when he opened his mouth, revealing his snow-white teeth.

Han Xin couldn't help but be suspicious when he was facing death at such a young age, and waved his hand to signal the Qin soldiers behind the young man to let go of him. Dismounted and went up, walked in front of the Hun boy, looked at him carefully, and puzzled: "How do you know me." ”

The young man loosened his aching hands, looked up at him when he heard Han Xin's words, pointed at Qin Bing beside him and smiled; ", of course I heard it while they were talking."

Han Xin narrowed his eyes, this Hun boy looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and his voice still had a childlike voice, but his tone was not like it. Even if the men on the grassland are precocious, they shouldn't be so calm in the face of beheading, this boy is a freak.

"Can you speak Qin?"

"What's so hard about that?" The young man said with a proud face. "I'll have a lot of stuff."

At this time, a hundred generals who were in charge of guarding the prisoners next to him couldn't help but jump out, kicked the young man, and cursed in his mouth; "You little rabbit cub, you can speak Qin dialect and pretend to be stupid all day long."

It turned out that this young man was captured when the Qin army broke through the Xiongnu royal court, and the Qin soldiers saw that he was young and looked like a Xiongnu prince, so they spared his life and captured him back to the camp. In the past few days, he asked other Xiongnu nobles, but no one knew his identity, and the Qin soldiers who were detained saw that he was well-behaved and obedient, and he was a clever and smart person, so they didn't bother to report to their superiors.

Han Xin waved his hand to stop the hundred generals, and saw the young man slowly get up from the ground, his mouth was full of dirt, and his expression was indescribably embarrassed. ”

"So what do you say now?" Han Xin was a little interested, so he asked.

The boy pursed his lips and snorted; "If I don't call you again, I'm afraid I'm going to die."

"Do you think I'm not going to kill you if you can call my name?"

"Of course not." The young man showed a cunning that was not commensurate with his age, licked his lips and said; "I have a big gift for you, enough to exchange my little life."

Han Xin's squinting eyes flashed, and he said slowly in a low voice; "Say, who are you, my patience is limited."

The young man grinned, and wanted to make a joke, but suddenly felt a strong wind on his cheeks, and when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he saw that the sword in Han Xin's hand was already pointed directly at his eyebrows, and he was so frightened that he swallowed the words in his mouth, and hurriedly said; "I'm Kun Mo, the prince of Lou Fu."

"Lou annoyance?" Han Xin was stunned for a moment, withdrew his sword, and asked again; "Isn't Lou Fu already subjugated to the Huns, and is it the same as the Aries Department as another part of the Huns?"

Kunmo's eyes widened and he argued loudly; "Lou Fu is Lou Fu, the Huns are Huns, even if we are forced to surrender to them, our hearts are still free."

Han Xin asked with a smile, "But what does this have to do with whether I want to kill you or not?" Whether it's Lou Fu or the Huns, they are all the mortal enemies of my Great Qin. ”

Kun Mo shook his head and asked rhetorically: "General, do you think that the people we hate the most are the Central Plains people?" ”

"Isn't it?" Han Xin asked rhetorically.

Lou Fu is one of Beidi, the Spring and Autumn Period has been established, nomadic in the north of Zhao and Han, very good at riding and shooting. In its heyday, it once controlled 100,000 strings and dominated Monan Hebei. Later, he was defeated by King Wuling of Zhao and forced to move north, and many of his subordinates were also annexed by Zhao and became the source of Zhao's elite cavalry. Decades later, it was hit hard again by Li Mu, and since then it has been in a slump and has become a vassal of the Huns. Therefore, Han Xin naturally thinks that Lou Fu hates the Central Plains people the most.

Kun Mo's immature face showed deep hatred, "General, you are wrong, the Central Plains people only seized our land, while the Huns took away our freedom and dignity. They robbed our tribes of food in every famine, forced our men to die for them whenever there was a war, and our king saw that the Hun Khan would kiss the soles of his boots, but the prince would be imprisoned as a hostage in the city of Touman. ”

PS: You may probably think that the battle of the Northern Expedition is described too much, but in fact, Jiangnan is just paving the way for the subsequent plot development. If Han Xin wants to have the qualifications to compete with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, he must first have a place to stand, and the Northern Army is the strength he can rely on, which is also Jiangnan spent so much pen and ink to describe Han Xin's achievements in Mobei, which is to pave the way for the later development, please be patient, it won't be long before the princes will attack Qin, and now it is the last afterglow of the Qin Empire.
