Chapter 123, three thousand miles north of the Xiongnu
Meng Tian led 100,000 cavalry to rush to Liaoxi overnight, Donghu and Xianbei found out, retreated to Yuguan, waited for the Xiongnu army to arrive, formed a joint encirclement, and annihilated it in one fell swoop, according to expectations, the Xiongnu should also arrive the next day after Meng Tian arrived at the latest, but waited for two days without seeing his army, and no news came.
Meng Tian was not in a hurry to attack, put on a fearless position, and nourished his spirit, which made the Donghu and Xianbei armies more timid, and more and more suspicious that the Xiongnu had withdrawn, and the two soldiers were in one place, which was to watch each other, each for their own battalion, and met the veteran Meng Tian, if the Xiongnu did not come, they would be defeated, and Meng Tian only came to 100,000 cavalry, and another 100,000 troops did not know where to go, if they went around to the rear of Yuguan, they would be trapped in it.
On the night of the second day, Donghu and Xianbei discussed, the Xiongnu broke the appointment first, and now the Xiongnu had nothing to say, so it was decided to take advantage of the darkness of the night, the Qin army was not easy to find, and waited and watched after withdrawing from the border.
Meng Tian thought, although Yuguan has been abandoned for many years, but near the mountains and seas, the terrain is dangerous, not conducive to cavalry combat, if it is a strong attack, although it can capture Yuguan, but the casualties will inevitably be heavy, it is difficult to go back and resist the Hun army, in order to save the troops, can only outwit, so the use of suspicious tactics, so that the enemy army can not figure out, take the initiative to withdraw, Yuguan is an open plain outside, convenient for the cavalry to gallop and fight, once the enemy withdraws from Yuguan, he will easily defeat it.
Donghu and Xianbei just withdrew from Yuguan, Meng Tian led the 100,000 iron cavalry with enough spirit to catch up quickly, Donghu and Xianbei were defeated, and fled in despair, with more than half of the dead and wounded, until they withdrew from the country, if it were not for Meng Tian's fear that he would not be able to resist the 300,000 Hun army without obstacles, Meng Tian would definitely chase him out of the country and annihilate them all.
After Meng Tian defeated Donghu and Xianbei, according to the advance prediction of Wuji, he rushed to Shanggu overnight to resist the Xiongnu, and only arrived last night.
......
Seeing that Meng Tian went out of the city to face the battle, Touman knew that Donghu and Xianbei had been repulsed, and they were bound to fight to the death, so he shouted awe-inspiringly: "It's just right to come, Ben Khan will annihilate you in one fell swoop today, so that you know who this world should be!"
Meng Tian shouted: "Naturally, it's not you barbarians!"
The two armies are full of fire and water, meet each other on a narrow road, are no longer verbose, the drums are roaring, the war horse Xiao Xiao, do a good job of the offensive, every soldier facing the opponent's black pressure army, the heart is very clear, today's battle, will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, want to survive, it is difficult.
Touman's long knife pointed at the Qin army, and roared: "Trample the Qin army into mud, regain the land that originally belonged to us, and kill!" Under an order, more than 100,000 iron cavalry rushed towards the Qin army, the yellow sand rolled up, the hooves rumbled, and the Huns' arrows were exhausted.
Meng Tian saw the Hun cavalry rushing towards him, and said to General Yang beside him: "Pull out the chariot designed by the Taoist chief and meet the Huns!"
General Yang waved the flag in his hand, dozens of chariots with a height of two zhang and a width of four zhang were slowly pulled out, each chariot was built with heavy black iron stone, weighing a thousand pounds, the front wall and side walls of the chariot were full of spears and long knives, like a huge hedgehog, pulled by dozens of war horses, ten zhang apart from each other, the faster and faster, facing the rushing cavalry, the cavalry of the Qin army waited for the chariot to rush out of a hundred zhang, 100,000 cavalry galloped wildly, holding spears and halberds, chasing after them, like a tsunami sweeping the earth.
The Hun cavalry saw that the chariots of the Qin army had moved away, and wanted to pass through them, and when they saw that they were about to rush through, the iron chains were suddenly pulled up between the chariots, and the Hun cavalry was caught off guard, the horses lost their front hooves, and the people rolled over the horses, and screamed miserably, as if the rolling torrent suddenly fell off the cliff, and the yellow sand rose.
Nearly a thousand Hun cavalry fell in an instant, before the people landed, they were stabbed to death by the Qin soldiers behind the chariot, the iron chain was broken, the iron chain that was not broken was hit by hundreds of war horses, the chariots on both sides were closed together, rampaged, swept down one after another, and the Hun cavalry in the middle suffered a big setback.
At this time, the Qin cavalry behind the chariot had arrived, nearly 300,000 cavalry hedged together, weapons collided sonorously, people turned over on their backs, neighed and screamed, stumps and broken arms flew sideways, the sound of killing was like a tide, and blood pillars gushed all over the sky.
This battle is the most tragic battle since the Xiongnu entered the customs, the Xiongnu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, fought against the water, vowed to annihilate the Qin army, the Qin army had no city to defend, the lone army had no help, swore to defeat the Huns, and never suffered in the future.
Although the Xiongnu were strong, they were exhausted due to the long journey, lack of food and water, and their combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced, while although the Qin army was tired and the strength of the Xiongnu was slightly weaker, but because they had just finished winning the battle, their morale was greatly boosted, and their combat effectiveness increased unabated.
Meng Tian is proficient in the art of war, has a good formation, and has a proper command, and most of the Qin army is a veteran, and has fought for many years and has a lot of experience, while the Xiongnu war is inexperienced and the military formation is inadequate, and can only fight raid warfare, guerrilla warfare, and siege warfare, but it is not suitable for this kind of evenly matched battle.
Meng Tian stroked his silver beard in his hand, looked at the chariot designed in advance by Wuji, and easily tore apart the Xiongnu's military peaks, and was already convinced, and sighed: "If there is no help from him, how can there be today's situation, how can it break the deadlock laid by the Huns!"
Listening to General Fan's narration, Meng Tian was excited, did not sleep all night, accurate layout, unbelievable magic array, played the Huns round and round, one after another, exhausted the grain and grass, without spending a soldier, the Huns suffered heavy losses, arranged the troops, judged the situation, strategized, and was even more impeccable, the enemy used soldiers such as white rising, Lao Cheng was as serious as Wang Qian, he was really an immortal genius, and refined the channel method, led away the fierce beasts, sacrificed himself to avoid the disaster of the common people, such people who dare to take responsibility, if they serve for Daqin, they will build great achievements, and the world will be peaceful.
Touman looked at the army that had been cultivated so hard, and in a blink of an eye, it showed a defeat, how could he accept it, his eyes were split, he was angry, and led tens of thousands of infantry to rush into the chaos, with long knives dancing, and everywhere he went, blood was splashed, and screams were repeated.
Ugud is worthy of being the first fierce general of the Huns, the strength is infinite, the martial arts are excellent, every gun is under the wheel, the dead and wounded, the Qin soldiers see it, panic and dodge, but the courage of several people, but can not save the defeat, although the Huns' scimitar is sharp, it is difficult to cut the Qin soldiers, and the spears and spears of the Qin soldiers can pierce the body of the Hun soldiers, and the cavalry formation of the Qin army corresponds to each other, so that the Hun cavalry is sandwiched in it, and the abdomen and back are subject to the enemy.
Touman was covered with blood, his eyes shot fiercely, and he killed Meng Tian who commanded the army behind the battle, and cut off the spears and halberds that came to resist.
Meng Tian saw Touman rushing towards him with murderous energy, took the bow and arrow handed over by the general beside him, drew the bow, looked like a torch, and said in a deep voice: "The courage of the horseman!" As soon as his fingers were loosened, there was a 'buzz', and the arrows were like lightning, shooting towards Touman.
Touman just split the Qin soldiers besieging in front, but he didn't guard against the arrows that burst out, and with a 'poof' sound, he hit the left chest, and the pain hit his heart, and he snorted, and fell off the horse, and hundreds of Qin soldiers stepped forward to surround him, and the weapons were densely stabbed at Touman.
After Touman landed, he roared, pulled out his arrows, and the long knife swirled, sweeping away all the weapons that came from the siege, and the Qin army did not dare to advance a single inch.
Seeing that Touman was in danger, Ugud whistled, and the giant eagle hovering in the air swooped down, and Ugud flew on, flew over the chaotic army, flew down to Touman's side, and shouted: "Great Khan, retreat!" Picking up his spear, he shook the Qin army back a few feet away.
Touman looked up to the sky and roared angrily, grief and indignation, "Why...... Why...... What am I doing wrong, and why is heaven killing me?"
Ugud said with tears in his eyes and grief: "Great Khan, go quickly, as long as the Great Khan is still there, after twenty years, we will definitely make a comeback!" Seeing Touman hearing this, he whistled again, the giant eagle fell, grabbed Touman's shoulders with both claws, and the giant wings instigated, pulled Touman up, and flew north, Touman looked at his feet in despair, the yellow sand was flying, the north wind shouted, the blood flowed like a river, the corpse was like a sea, remorse, unwillingness, despair, and anger rushed into his mind.
Ugodd flew on his horse, opened a bloody road, and shouted at the Hun soldiers who were still fighting tenaciously: "Withdraw the army!" The golden gong sounded hurriedly, and the Hun cavalry fled when they heard the sound, killing only 50,000 cavalry in the melee, and followed Ugud to the desert to rout.
Seeing the Huns fleeing, Meng Tian shouted: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue, you must completely annihilate the Huns!" led nearly 80,000 cavalry to chase after the Hunshandak Desert, and all that was left in the desert was the corpses of the Hun soldiers.
......
Meng Tian chased through the desert, chased the Huns three thousand miles to the north, chased and killed 30,000 Huns, Touman waved the 400,000 army to the south, and finally only 20,000 returned, the vitality was greatly injured, don't think about raising the army again within ten years, Touman has an arrow in the body, although it has not entered the heart, but because of the rapid fire to attack the heart, so far the sick bed collapsed.
......
You know, although Qin destroyed the six countries, but the foreign troubles are still there, especially the Xiongnu and Nanyue, has always been the heart disease of the Great Qin, in the past the six countries each resisted the foreign race, and now only by the Great Qin to carry it, so big, it is difficult to take into account, the Xiongnu united the surrounding countries to invade, the total strength of the army reached 600,000, so that the government and the opposition panicked, if it were not for Meng Tian's foresight, withstand the pressure, the land conquered by the Great Qin will lose most of it, and now the Xiongnu has been defeated, the biggest foreign enemy has basically been removed, how can the Great Qin not boil。
......
The wind was beautiful, the breeze was blowing, and inside the military tent of Yanmen Pass, Meng Tian frowned, looked at Wu Jian who was lying on the bed calmly with his eyes closed, and asked Ling Kongzi: "Hasn't the Taoist still woken up?"
Ling Kongzi shook his head and said, "No, if the little master wakes up, Poor Dao will be the first to notify the general!"
Meng Tian asked again, "Is Dao Chief's illness really incurable?"
Ling Kongzi can fly, Jin Xingzi can breathe fire, he has heard of it, thinking that they are the cultivation masters of the Jing Dao Method, and he has not suspected that they are transformed by monsters, and now the ontology of the two of them may not be recognized even by a strong person at the level of scattered immortals, let alone Meng Tian.
"The little master's illness is too weird, poor Dao doesn't know medical skills, I really don't know, it turns out that there are medicines that can delay his condition, but after this fight with the fierce beast, those drugs have no effect, and now I only hope that he will wake up by himself!"
Since that night Wuxian fainted, he was unconscious, but there was still a weak pulse, after Ling Kongzi recovered his injuries slightly, he killed the ancestor of Xuanming by the way, and flew back to the Shanggu military camp with no obstacles, at that time Meng Tian had led the troops to arrive, and the specific details were known, Meng Tian summoned all the doctors in the army to treat, but they were unable to do anything, so he ordered someone to use a carriage to carry Wuxian back to Yanmen to wait, and sent another person to find a famous doctor to rush to Yanmen.
After Ling Kongzi and Jin Xingzi returned to Yanmen with no obstacles, they had found three famous doctors, all of whom did not know the pathology and could not be treated, and left with a sigh.
When Meng Tian triumphantly returned to Yanmen, Wuxian still hadn't woken up, and it was already the second day, Meng Tian was so anxious that he came to ask each other every hour, worried that such a talented person would not wake up, and he couldn't even hear a word of gratitude.
At this time, the soldier outside the tent reported: "Report to the general, there is an old Taoist priest in front of the barracks shouting, saying that someone in the army has stolen his things, and he wants to come in to look for them, and also said that the person who stole his things is now lying in a coma on the hospital bed, and if he is allowed to come in and retrieve it, he will revive the man." ”
