Chapter 202: The Huns Return to Shun
North
Under the remnant sun, the crow cries added a desolation to the blood-stained grassland, and corpses were everywhere, but most of them were only one kind of clothing, similar to the corpses in black armor, almost one in a hundred, and almost none in silver armor.
Qin State bets on millions of stone grain to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, if Qin loses, the Xiongnu take away the million stone grain, if Qin wins, the Xiongnu will return to Qin.
In this decisive battle, 400,000 Xiongnu faced 100,000 Qin, and then 10,000 heavy armored cavalry of Qin easily chiseled through the formation of Xiongnu cavalry, causing chaos, and then 90,000 light cavalry fired (shot) a large number of arrows, taking away a large number of lives.
Then the Huns were horrified to find that their attacks could not break the armor of these silver-armored monsters at all, and in addition to not knowing who passed on these silver-armored monsters to be gods, suddenly the morale of the Huns dropped to a low point, and they collapsed directly after carrying a few times, and then 90,000 light cavalry pursued from behind, as for the heavy armored cavalry, the heavy armor made the war horse already lack physical strength, and could only rest in place.
The Qin army chased hundreds of miles before stopping, this road of more than 100 miles was full of corpses, the Huns only died 70,000 or 80,000 people in the previous battle, but after the rout, plus the prisoners, the Qin army that was pursued left more than 100,000, in this battle, the Xiongnu lost about 200,000, and the Qin army only lost more than 1,000 people, it was completely a massacre.
"Go Faster"
A general of the Qin army pushed a fat-headed and big-eared guy forward and came to a heroic man.
"General, this is the Xiongnu Shan Yu Touman"
That's right, Touman didn't think that he would fail at all, so in order to increase his prestige, he personally led his troops over, and now he is a prisoner.
"Take care of him, go back, there is enough wine (meat rou) today"
"The General is Mighty"
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers cheered, and rushed back happily with the spoils of war.
When night fell, I saw a huge checkpoint, and Fusu and his party were waiting there anxiously.
"Why don't you come back, it won't be an accident?"
Fusu looked into the distance, but he didn't see the light cavalry that was going to pursue at all, and he couldn't help but worry.
"The defeat is like a mountain, even if the soldier Saint Sun Wu is alive, he can't collect this kind of defeat to fight, presumably General Meng Tian doesn't want to let go of the fat sheep in his hand, so he chased a little farther."
Hearing this, Lin Yu on the side said with a smile.
The Huns were completely demoralized, and the whole army was defeated, and there was no danger in pursuing this kind of army, there was only one head, that is, the battle merits, so with Meng Tian's IQ, how could he easily withdraw the troops
"Boom"
At this moment, there was a sound like thunder in the distance, which was the power caused by the cavalry.
"Isn't this coming back?"
This night, the candles in the whole checkpoint were not extinguished all night, and there were cheers everywhere, whether it was civilians or soldiers, civilians knew that after this war, they could farm with peace of mind for decades to come, the Xiongnu generation had a deep fear of Qin, and the Xiongnu would not think about fighting Qin before they died, and the soldiers were because they had great achievements in this battle, and it was not a matter of being promoted to a knighthood
A large (hall diàn).
Fusu sat on the main seat, Lin Yu and the heroic man, Meng Tian, sat on the left and right sides, and Touman stood in the center with an unwilling face.
"Touman, what are the conditions I said?"
Lin Yu said loudly.
"Don't even think about it, don't think I don't know, your silver-armored cavalry can't carry out a long-distance attack at all, without the silver-armored cavalry, your light cavalry is vulnerable in front of our Huns."
Hearing this, Tou Man said with disdain
"It's better to do this, you let me go, I swear, the Xiongnu will never invade the territory of Qin."
"Don't dream, either submit to our Great Qin, or die As for you to say that our light cavalry is not the opponent of your Huns, hum, joke, if you don't accept this order today, tomorrow I will lead someone to sweep you Huns."
Meng Tian pulled out his sword and pointed to a scroll on the table of Fusu and said, this is Yingzheng's holy decree, if the Xiongnu take refuge, they will be crowned as the king of Guishun, of course, this king is extremely insulting, but Qin has been angry with the Huns for hundreds of years, and now he finally has a chance, and Yingzheng doesn't mind taking a breath.
"General Meng, don't be impatient"
Lin Yu motioned for Meng Tian to sit down first and negotiate, is there always a red face and a white face
"Touman, there is more than one force in this grassland, and now that the strength of the Huns has been reduced by half, presumably Donghu and others will not let go of the good opportunity to beat the water dogs."
"You"
Hearing this, Tou Man immediately hesitated, the grassland is already weak (meat rou) strong food, originally their Xiongnu strength in the grassland is the strongest, so they occupy the most abundant grassland, but in their east, there is a strength weaker than their Xiongnu Donghu, now the strength of the Xiongnu has lost more than half, Donghu will never let go of this opportunity.
If it is said that in the face of the Qin army, they can also use the tactics of attack and harassment to repel the Qin army, in the face of Donghu, they should still save it, because they are also a people on horseback.
"Touman, think about it, you have taken refuge in us, we will arm you, and then you will attack other tribes, plunder their cattle, sheep and horses, and even treat them as slaves, buy them to our Qin State, with money you can buy food, buy weapons, buy the salt you need, etc.
This is the big pit that Lin Yu dug for Touman, you can think about it, when the Xiongnu get used to using the coins of the Qin State, then they will have to do their best to protect the Qin State, otherwise the Qin State will be destroyed, and the coins in their hands will not become waste.
As for cattle, sheep and horses, not to mention, the most important thing is slaves, doesn't Yingzheng like to recruit people to repair the palace (palace diàn), build the Great Wall and the like, so okay, I will give you slaves, build them yourself, don't recruit the people of your own country.
"To perish, or to be glorious, think about it yourself."
Fusu said earnestly, what should have been said has been said, it depends on Touman's own choice.
Defecting to the Qin State, with the support of the Qin State, the Xiongnu will go to unimaginable glory, if they refuse, the only thing waiting for the Xiongnu is destruction.
"Me"
Touman clenched his fists, pondered for a while, slowly knelt down on his knees, and said word by word
"Receiving Orders"
He knew that he had no choice, and refusing to refuse was a dead end, and he could only accept it.
"Yes, return to the king, please rise"
Fusu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Touman up.
"Childe, in order to remember this moment, why don't you change this Xiongguan to Guishun Pass"
Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Great idea"
