Chapter Ninety-Six: Five-Year Contract
Seeing that the opportunity had come, Han Xin ordered someone to charge into the valley with a thousand golden fire cavalry, and blew the horn of the charge.
As soon as the sound of the horn charge sounded, the wolf-eyed 20,000 troops immediately woke up from the yurt, they picked up their sabers, mounted their horses, and rushed out to see that there were only 1,000 cavalry of Great Qin.
These cavalrymen all have horns in their hands, and after they blow it, they can hear it within a radius of ten kilometers.
After blowing around, the Golden Fire Cavalry returned.
And the 20,000 people with wolf eyes did not have the courage to come to pursue, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi specially instructed the main general of the 20,000 people to only need to collect money and not attack.
"Everyone, don't attack." The Hun lord shouted loudly.
Although the order was given not to attack, the 20,000 men maintained the highest vigilance.
At this time, Han Xin knew that it was impossible for these Huns to attack so quickly, so he had already prepared 10,000 cavalry, and he took turns to blow the horn.
It is impossible for the human will to maintain such a high level of vigilance, and there will always be times when it is tired.
From dawn to morning, this practice of taking turns to drain the spirit of the enemy worked.
Even Meng Tian in the main tent couldn't help but come to Han Xin and praise him a few words.
The 20,000 Huns looked puzzled, but when the horn of the charge sounded, no one knew when these cavalry would throw off the horn and rush over, so the best way to deal with it was to remain vigilant.
But if you keep being vigilant like this, it will definitely not work, after all, people's mental power is limited.
The Hun general saw that Daqin's cavalry was blowing the horn endlessly, and his heart became more and more irritable, and he blew the horn and did not attack, which made the Huns angry.
"Otherwise, we'll rush over and kill them." Someone suggested to the Hun general.
Before leaving, the Hun lord promised the Eastern Emperor Taiyi that he only needed to fix the income and did not need to attack.
"Wait, let's see what's going on." The Hun lord will be cautious.
At this time, Han Xin ordered someone to push out the Hundred Battles Armor-piercing Crossbow.
When the Huns saw it, they immediately looked at each other.
These bolts have a long range, but they advance slowly.
"They came out with a hundred battles armor-piercing crossbows, if we don't retreat, we can only find a way to grab them for our own use, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Looks like they really want to attack this time." When the Hun general saw that the Qin army had pushed out the Hundred Battles Armor-piercing Crossbow, he immediately spoke: "The whole army charges and snatches the Qin Army's Hundred Battles Armor-piercing Crossbow." ”
At this time, the golden fire cavalry who sounded the horn saw the Hun army rushing towards them, and they immediately retreated.
Leave a few operators using the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Crossbow and use the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Crossbow to consume each other while retreating.
In order to get close to the armor-piercing crossbow, the Xiongnu army had to pay a heavy price.
And as the arrows of the Hundred Battles armor-piercing crossbow ran out, the operator immediately fled.
How could the Hun army on the fire tolerate the escape of the operators who shot their forwards, and as soon as the anger came up, they immediately forgot the explanation of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"Capture them alive." The Hun commander spoke, and soon caught up with the fleeing operator.
"Our mission is accomplished." The escaped operators looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Army surrounded from both sides of the valley, and Han Xin led the golden fire cavalry to slowly appear, blocking the road in front of the 20,000 Huns.
"They are the elite of my Great Qin army, and their lives are worth the lives of 20,000 of you." Han Xin's face was calm and he spoke loudly.
The Hun lord sneered and snorted: "Hmph, although it is surrounded by the north on three sides, we still have a chance to retreat, hold the camp, and want us to surrender, thinking beautifully." ”
As soon as the Hun lord finished speaking, he raised his saber and wanted to kill the operators of the armor-piercing crossbow.
"Hey, wait, wait." Han Xin raised his hand and hurriedly said loudly, "You guys look up." ”
When the Hun general heard this, he immediately stopped killing the few operators of the Hundred Battles Armor-piercing Crossbow, and when he looked up, he found that it was covered with Qin troops.
"Put!"
Zhong Liyi waved his hand, and Daqin on the valley threw down the gravel that had been prepared long ago.
Instead of smashing the 20,000 troops of the Huns, the rubble blocked their back road.
"Archer prepare!"
Zhong Li opened his bow and arrows and spoke loudly.
At this moment, the face of the Xiongnu general turned from calm to despair in an instant, the back road was cut off, there were archers above the valley, and the front road was stopped by Daqin's golden fire cavalry and the armor-piercing army of a hundred battles.
In such an encirclement, it is difficult to escape.
"Now you still dare to do something to my Great Qin Elite?" Han Xin asked coldly.
The besieged Xiongnu army was disrupted, they had fought many battles, but this was the first time that they had been besieged from all sides, and the number of Qin troops was far superior to them.
The Hun lord saw that his 20,000 people were surrounded, and was said to be the heart of the army, and he himself was desperate, where is the heart of the army?
"You surrender, I, Han Xin, guarantee that you will not die, and will treat you captives preferentially, and after five years, I will guarantee that you will be free, and you can stay in Daqin, or you can return to the grassland."
Han Xin spoke loudly.
"The people of Daqin have always been honest, from the emperor to the people of Dawn."
The Huns did not object to this, and the Qin people have always been this image in their minds.
"If you resist, you will inevitably be wiped out." There was a hint of threat in Han Shin's voice.
The two armies are fighting, and there is no regret about the casualties, and if they can survive in the case of defeat, it is definitely good luck from God.
The Hun commander hesitated for a moment, and before he could speak, some Hun soldiers laid down their weapons.
Then, more and more Hun soldiers laid down their arms, and the Hun generals could not control the situation.
Because Han Xin gave them hope to live, even if they were slaves for five years, they were still very young, and they could return to live on the grassland in the future, isn't this the dawn of hope for their hearts to live?
A soldier who surrendered without a fight, Han Xin did it.
Han Xin sent an army of 50,000 to escort this group of 20,000 captives, in order to prevent chaos.
At present, Daqin, whether it is building a naval fleet in Dongjun or building water conservancy in China, needs manpower.
With 20,000 slaves, the manpower aspect of the Qin State could be relieved somewhat.
Moreover, these slaves have lived in the Qin State for five years, and when they return to the grassland in the future, they will definitely bring in the customs and culture of the Qin State, and at that time, the Xiongnu, the grassland people, will be integrated into the Great Qin.
After 20,000 Xiongnu captives were escorted to Daqin, 10,000 were sent to Dongjun, and the other 10,000 stayed behind to build water conservancy and irrigate farmland with Daqin people.
"Han Xin, Han Xin, I really didn't use you wrong." Fusu was very satisfied with the manpower of the 20,000 Xiongnu captives, they were all young and middle-aged, and they were very able to endure hardships.
After completing the mission, the 50,000 troops who escorted the captives returned to the north again and returned to the northern military camp.
When Han Xin led the army into the territory of the Xiongnu, the life-and-death battle between the Xiongnu and the wolf's eyes was also unfolding.
