Chapter 406: Maudun's Death
Han Xin swept Mobei.
The various units of the Qin army went out of Yin Mountain, too high, and chased the death to the north. In the absence of modern communication tools, the two Qin armies only relied on pre-war prediction and the contact of carrier pigeons to achieve their meeting.
Dragon City.
The remnants of Maudun fled here, exhausted, and further north was the vast Hanhai Desert, which in the past was a natural barrier for the Huns against the southern peoples, but now it has become a shackle to destroy their lives.
The fleeing Xiongnu tribes have completely lost their organization and command, and the prestige of Da Dan Yu Maodun has been completely lost in the battle of Bainijing, and his orders have been unable to be obeyed by the leaders of the various departments, the most obvious point is Helianbi's disobedience.
While fleeing to Gaoque City, Maudun urgently convened a meeting of the leaders of the various tribes, at which Maudun ordered the relatively complete Helian tribe to serve as the rear army to stop the Qin army's pursuit, in order to win a chance for the tribes to survive, but hopefully, Helian Bi completely disdained this.
Today's Maotun is not as strong as before.
In the trench, the death and wounding of 20,000 cronies of the tribe made Maudun a tiger with its teeth extracted, and it was impossible to recover without three or five years.
However, the competition on the steppe, cruel and bloody.
If Mao Dun wants to recover Liliang in peace, the other big clan leaders who are watching the throne will not give him a chance, and among these ambitious guys, Helian Bi is unfortunately one of them.
Over the years, Mao Dun has strongly unified the various tribes of the grassland by force, and for large tribes such as the Helian tribe, the Huyan tribe, and the Qiuli tribe, Mao Dun has unified the Xiongnu tribe on behalf of the other tribes, and the meaning of the other tribe is always a big difference compared to the cronies tribes, if it were not for the leaders of the three tribes, they are still cunning and cunning. Their fate was the same as that of the Zhelan tribe and the Subu tribe, and they were finally ruthlessly annexed by Maudun.
Helian Bi took more than 10,000 soldiers of his tribe and plunged into the desert headlong in the head of each tribe, and they who were accustomed to surviving in the harsh climate of the North Sea were more adaptable than their companions who survived under relatively good conditions in the north of the desert.
Dragon City is nothing more than a temporary supply site.
Mao Dun originally wanted to use this place as a transit point for transshipment of captured treasures, baggage, and people, so there was no such thing as a city wall that could be used for defense around the Dragon City, of course, to the Jishu of the Huns. It is also impossible to build a strong city wall like the Central Plains people.
November 29.
Early morning.
The defeated Huns, who were immersed in a tired sleep, were awakened by a series of shouts, and the Hun cavalry in charge of patrolling was surprised to find that directly north of them, there was a completely black Qin army team approaching rapidly.
There is an enemy in the north.
In the south, there were several Qin army pursuit troops, and the Huns were attacked from both sides, and Mao Dun, who had always liked to plot to sneak attack his opponent, was copied by the Qin army this time.
――。
In the king's tent.
Maudon was lying on top of a thick bear skin, his back bare, in a spot on his left shoulder. There was faint blood stained out, and on the way to escape, Maudun's war horse was unfortunate that the horse lost its front hoof, and Maudun, who fell to the ground, was quickly helped up by the attendants. But Maudun, who has always been physically strong, found that the left half of his body could not move for a while.
Anger attacks the heart.
This situation of Maudun should be counted as a sequelae of stroke if it is inferred according to modern medical pathology. However, in the Qin period, there could not have been such a thing as a stroke.
Steppe peoples. Mostly meat is the staple food, coupled with the fact that he likes to drink, and he will get drunk every time he drinks, so under such uncontrolled profligacy, his body gradually shows signs of overdraft.
Originally, Mao Dun was just a little sign of a stroke, as long as a little conditioning, there would generally be no big problems, but these days, especially since the defeat of Bai Nijing, the Huns have scattered, and the Great Hun Alliance, which Mao Dun has painstakingly managed, no longer exists.
Waiter in the tent.
There were only a few three or five people, and there were once as many as hundreds of close attendants, who were constantly separated on the way to escape, and it is impossible to verify whether these trusted cronies of Maudun were really separated, or whether they were deliberately hiding.
The wall fell and everyone pushed it.
Under the influence of the stroke, Maudun could not speak, but his ears were not deaf, and he could hear the abnormal sounds outside.
"Hmm, hmm, BOC-, -!"
Bank of China said bent down, put his mouth close to Mao Dun's ear, and said loudly: "Da Shan Yu, the Qin people are coming up, the soldiers are resisting, we must get out of here, you say, where are we going?" ”
As he spoke, the Bank of China said as he put a sketched map of a roll of sheepskin in front of Mao Dun's eyes, this map was quite rough, and the directions of rivers and desert lakes were only replaced by black dots, but for the Huns who wandered in the grassland, having a map was already a huge progress.
Since ancient times, the grassland peoples have relied on experience to graze and migrate, and such things as maps were introduced to the grasslands from the Central Plains.
When Mao Dun heard this, his eyes were fixed on the parchment, and his gaze stayed on the place: the Hannan River.
The Bank of China paused for a moment, and picked up the scroll with a very bad face, Mao Dun's meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted to return to the Mobei base of the Xiongnu tribe, but the Bank of China said that he wanted to shout at Mao Dun: The Han Nan River has long been over, it has been swept away by the Qin people, and Mao Dun will never have the opportunity to go back to recuperate.
After coming out of the tent, the Bank of China returned to his tent without saying a word, then packed up some fine pieces, led a tall healthy horse, and headed west.
The Bank of China said goodbye.
When the two Qin armies of Han Xin and Cao Xin attacked Longcheng, the rest of the attendants saw that even the closest cronies in the bed had left Maoton, and they naturally scattered one after another, and when Han Xin and Cao Xin's two Qin armies attacked Longcheng, there was no one to serve in Maoton's royal tent except for him who was howling mournfully.
And because his body couldn't move, Mao Dun couldn't take off his clothes and pants when he was relieved, and when he couldn't hold back, he had to pull directly into his pants.
The stench made Cao Xin, who rushed into the tent, almost faint, and the old man lying on the dirty bear skin turned out to be the once invincible Hun Dadan Yu Maodun?
At first glance, Cao Xin was still very unconvinced.
But take a closer look, who is this helpless old man, not Mao Dun?
Cao Xin stepped forward, raised his sword and fell, and cut off the head of Mao Dun, which can be regarded as helping Mao Dun end the pain, Cao Xin raised his head out of the account, and quickly ordered the soldiers to send Mao Dun's head to Jiuyuan City, no matter what Mao Dun looks like, his identity is still the Huns' big single Yu after all, although there will not be many tribes that still regard Mao Dun as a big single Yu.
