Chapter 429: The Fruits of Victory (2nd Update)
The newly built 'Luqiu City' is only four miles long and wide, and the city is seven zhang high, small but strong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is located on the top of the furnace mound at a height of 140 zhang, and a large area of river beach and grassland is shrouded in the distance of the arrow.
A few days later, two castles named 'Zhengbei City' and 'Dingyu City', which were built on the same scale as Luqiu City, were separated by more than 100 miles from each other, and each was a dangerous place, and each other was a horn.
And between the three, there are countless watchtowers towering, the south bank of the Leng River, a long more than 200 miles, the most abundant water and grass area, encircled in the inner perimeter of these three cities,
Then in the furnace castle, a stargazing platform about 700 zhang high, almost towering into the clouds, was built, and Ying Chong also regained his 'eyes and ears' again.
With the help of the Demon Sky Mirror in Pei Xiuyuan's hand and the help of the stargazing platform, Ying Chong can see the scene anywhere within more than a thousand miles at any time.
――Actually, as long as you have enough spiritual veins, there are Xuanmen formations that monitor the surrounding enemy situation. It's just that it's not as convenient as the Demon Heaven Realm, and the range is far inferior, at most it can only be as far away as three or four hundred miles.
This thing is indeed worthy of the Baiyun Temple's town education instrument, just need to set a place, you can be there dozens of miles of radius, are all in detail in the mirror.
Even if the other party used magic to cover up, it was impossible to leave no trace under the prying eyes of the Demon Sky Mirror. What's more, there is still an illusion master under his command.
This also means that now the entire southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and the 2,000-mile basin up and down the Leng River have fallen under the control of the Qin army.
The completion of the three fortresses will enable Yingchong's army to no longer have to be dragged down by the burden of grain and grass.
Almost on the day the observatory was built, Ying Chong ordered Li Jing to lead 150,000 people to stay behind, and he himself led 400,000 Qin troops to attack. Outflanked by three roads, it encircled a camp of 130,000 Hun knights 110 miles to the west. In this battle alone, 70,000 levels of beheadings were beheaded!
After that, he swept along the river, rushed hundreds of miles in one day, and successively defeated three Xiongnu tribes. 200,000 people were killed above the wheel, 70,000 Qin herdsmen were rescued, and 900,000 cattle and sheep were seized.
It wasn't until five hundred miles west of Luqiu City that Ying Chong received a warning from the rear, and then led the army back.
At this time, the momentum of the army under his command was completely different from when he left the fortress. Almost all of the soldiers' hands have been stained with at least one human life.
Compared with the veterans who have seen blood and the recruits, the combat power is very different.
After returning to Furnace Hill City this time, Ying Chong did not make any other moves. He was only dedicated to strengthening the defenses of the three cities, practicing the archery skills of all the soldiers, and trying his best to make the armies of all departments at least reach the level of the government army.
There were also more than 200,000 herdsmen, and Ying Chong selected 70,000 strong people from among them, and distributed all the ink armor and bows and crossbows seized along the way.
The five-star armor of the Huns was not much, and even fewer could be captured completely. But the ink armor below five stars is everything, and it is a type that specializes in hunting.
With it, these 70,000 people can be used to defend the city with only a hasty practice of archery.
Ying Chong himself was also mixed in, and under the guidance of September, he practiced the 'sun-shooting technique'. It may be because he has awakened the bloodlines of the two great divine beasts of the dragon and phoenix, and his talent is very different from that of his childhood. During this time, whether it is marksmanship or archery, it is making rapid progress.
And only four days later, the Xiongnu alone in Maodun had already led 200,000 of the king's tent army, as well as a total of 300,000 horsemen from the right wing and the royal court, and came to the city of Luqiu.
Ying Chong didn't pay attention to it, and only moved the pastures of millions of cattle and sheep to the back of Luqiu City. Then he continued to train his soldiers and strengthen the city's defenses.
He knew that his odds were set, and he had enough leverage to fight it here, whether it was a showdown here or a continued confrontation.
Now the one sitting on the wax has been replaced by the Hun Shan Yu opposite.
The Qin army under Ying Chong's command was of course deep into the enemy's territory and helpless. But that Mao Dun is also embattled.
At this time, you only need to calm down and taste the fruits of victory.
※※※※
In the early morning, Maudun rode on the top of a hill, and looked gloomily at the gray-white fortified city seventeen miles away.
After more than 40 years of fighting, Mao Dun's face has long been crawling with the marks left by time, only that gaze is still as sharp as an eagle falcon.
But even a real goshawk will also grow old and have an overwhelmed day. At this time, in Mao Dun's eyes, in addition to exhaustion, there was also a trace of helplessness.
"Holy Lord, this city, do you have a way to shake it?"
The so-called 'Holy Lord' is the honorific title given by the steppe people to the shaman of the sacred mountain.
At this time, standing beside Mao Dun was Bi Li, one of the only two holy mountain shamans of the Huns.
But this one also shook his head helplessly: "Can't do it! The other side has already taken the lead and blocked the leylines here in advance." And I can feel that there is a great onmyoji in it, and the mana is only half inferior to me. ”
Mao Dun frowned, but fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for this.
"Then what does the Holy Lord think, should I, the Huns, fight these Qin troops?"
Bi Li heard this, but he was slightly surprised. He had never had such hesitation in Maudun.
This male lord of the grassland has always been imperious and decisive, and rarely listens to the opinions of others. And in the past, no matter what kind of crisis, it was difficult to really stump him,
Bi Li's eyes became more solemn: "I don't know, but in Shan Yu's opinion, how many casualties will my Xiongnu have in this battle? After this victory, will we be able to hold the territory of the Xiaoyue Kingdom and continue to deter the Dayue Kingdom and the group of evil wolves in the east?"
"My Huns have never been good at attacking cities, and they often surpass the Qin army by twice as many troops, and they still suffer heavy losses!"
Mao Dun sighed lightly: "If you want to annihilate this Qin army, you have to use at least 1.2 million troops! However, the casualties and losses after the battle are only known to the sun and the moon. ”
Bi Li's breathing was slightly suffocated, and he had a sense just now. It was the sun and the moon that warned them that once they chose a decisive battle this time, the casualties would be far beyond their imagination.
"But now the Huns can't help but fight—"
Mao Dun pointed to the Leng River next to him with a horsewhip: "The 600,000 troops of the Qin army are here, which will make my 23 Xiongnu troops unable to graze in peace in the autumn." And once the livestock is not enough in autumn, I don't know how much they will freeze to death after winter. ”
In the cold and lonely of Bi, he studied the ways of nature and knew that the weather had been abnormal in recent years. Spring is rainy, and after September, it is sure to be an unprecedented winter.
"The decisive battle will have heavy casualties, and if you want to hold the way of the Qin army's attack, you need at least 800,000 cavalry. But our Huns are enemies on all sides, and this king can't control these 800,000 people, and they have always been here. ”
Mao Dun shook his head, his expression becoming more and more annoyed: "It's a pity that the best opportunity to retreat from the enemy has been lost-"
As he spoke, Maudun squinted behind him, intentionally or unintentionally, and a certain entourage glanced at him.
That is the left general and Su, this time did not go south with the king of Zuo Guli, but was responsible for staying in the grassland.
And at this moment, this person's face turned blue and white, and his eyes were ashamed.
He knew what Shan Yu meant, and the best decisive battle was before the Qin army failed to build the city. But because they couldn't muster together the 600,000 troops for the decisive battle, the Qin army finally succeeded.
The reason is that on June 11, he rashly went into battle, intending to attack the front of the Qin army of 200,000, but was defeated.
