Chapter 36: This Battle (II) [4k, Ask for Subscription]
The two armies are competing against each other for morale, the ability of the commander, and the ability of the country.
Now, the soldiers of Great Qin are ready to fight and wait for the enemy, although they have run a certain distance, they have been well rested, so the Qin soldiers seem to be in relatively good condition.
On the other hand, the Hun soldiers, although they fought locally, did not see any local combat advantages.
They had just experienced a rebellion, and the eldest prince killed the king and ascended to the position of khan.
Although the Hun soldiers now knew who they were loyal to, they were still a little confused and tired, and one battle was over, and another battle came.
That's not a good thing for them.
Han Xin was riding on horseback, his expression was solemn, but he was not worried, he looked at the distance on horseback, and looked at Mao Dun Shan Yu from afar.
"Maudun, I've been waiting here for a long time today! I wonder if Mao Dun Shan Yu can wash the dust for us? ”
A slightly ridiculous sentence came out of Han Xin's mouth, which made the Qin soldiers present also laugh.
The tiredness that came from afar seemed to be swept away at this moment.
They looked at the Hun cavalry in the distance, with a cruel thirst for murder in their eyes.
The Mengjia army has been stationed on the frontier all year round, and after defeating the Yan State, it has been stationed here.
They were no strangers to the Huns, and they could even be said to be familiar.
Every winter, the Xiongnu tried to raid south, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing.
In the past, it was the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom who fought against them, and then it was the soldiers of Great Qin who fought against them.
Mao Dun was on horseback, and he didn't mind saying a few more words to Han Xin, because his original goal was not to defeat Han Xin and defeat Great Qin.
His most important purpose was to cover, to cover the escape of the old and young women and children of the Huns.
Behind the grassland, there is the hope of their Huns in the future, and when the signal is given over there, and the old and young women and children are almost retreating, they can run away.
Immediately, he also laughed, showing heroic spirit: "Catch the wind and wash the dust? ”
"General Han came from afar, and according to your etiquette in the Central Plains, he should indeed wash the dust for you."
"It's just that I, the Huns, have just experienced a great chaos, and it is not suitable to welcome outsiders at this time."
"Second, General Han came with hundreds of thousands of troops, and he was violent, and he didn't look like he was coming to be a guest, so how could he catch the wind for General Han?"
Han Xin is not in a hurry, the purpose of his visit this time is not to destroy the Huns.
He remembered that in the tent before, he had seen a letter from Chen Ke to him, which stated his purpose now.
Consume as much of the Xiongnu's vital strength as possible, drive the Xiongnu further north and west of Wolf Juxu Mountain, and let them go to the north and west.
Occupy the steppe, leaving as much of the friendly Xiongnu tribes as possible.
This is Han Xin's whole purpose this time, the Huns are indeed a big problem for them, but direct strangulation is not a good thing for them.
Han Xin raised his head slightly, looked at Mao Dun and said, "Mao Dun Shan Yu, I will bring hundreds of thousands of troops from Great Qin to congratulate you on the gift of enthronement, isn't this a good thing?" ”
"Why did Shan Yu misunderstand Ben Jiang's kindness like this?"
He sighed, like a deep boudoir woman: "My sincerity is really wrong." ”
Mao Dun listened to Han Xin's words, and just said with a smile: "I see, I am too cautious. ”
"It's just General Han, since you are already in battle at this time, why don't you and I try the generals in our hands?"
"Let's see if my Huns' wolf riders are strong, or your Great Qin's armor warriors are strong?"
Han Xin bowed slightly, as if agreeing with Mao Dun's idea: "Of course you can." ”
"Since Mao Dun Shan Yu wants to meet my Great Qin soldiers, then I am naturally willing to be satisfied with Shan Yu."
He arched his hand and said again: "Of course, before starting, one of my Great Qin Jiuqing, Fengchang, the governor of Penglaizhou, and Chen Ke, the uncle of Zhongmu, have a sentence for me to convey to Shan Yu. ”
"Why don't you just listen to it first?"
Han Xin smiled slightly, and the mockery on the corner of his mouth was even worse: "Lest you wait and have no heart to listen." ”
There is actually some mockery and sarcasm in these words, why don't you have the heart to listen to it?
Because I'm just running for my life.
Maudon wasn't annoyed, just a little curious.
He had vaguely heard Zhang Xilong say this Chen Fengchang before, and now he heard this name from the mouth of this frontier young general Han Xin.
It seems that this Chen Fengchang is really a more important figure in Daqin.
Mao Dun didn't know why, when he heard this name, he felt a burst of physical discomfort, and even a little chills, feeling that this name carried deep malice.
He stared at Han Xin and said, "Please speak." ”
Han Xin also had a serious face and a solemn expression: "As the saying goes: "The sky is scarce, not only here, here there is endless and vast land to the north, and here to the northwest, there are grasslands and plains." ”
"A nation of barbarians, also called 'Great Qin', stands on that land." ”
"If you can't defeat the Great Qin of the Central Plains alone, I don't know if you can beat the Great Qin of the West?" ”
Just a few words, but it made Mao Dun's heart for a while.
That Chen Fengchang shouldn't be able to lie, at this time he already connected everything in his heart.
That Zhang Xilong seems to be Chen Fengchang's person, and the purpose of this mysterious Chen Fengchang is to drive the Xiongnu to Daqin in the northwest.
He narrowed his eyes.
Great Qin in the northwest?
Subconsciously, some blonde boy came to his mind.
It wasn't that they hadn't seen such barbarians, and it seemed that there was a small army, about five hundred people, that had quietly come to the steppe a few years earlier.
Although the formation of the soldiers was strong, the number was too small, and the wolf rider did not send too many people to kill them all.
Could it be that this Chen Fengchang is talking about the country to which those people belong?
If this is true, then the road to the northwest should be smoother.
After all, that country is not very powerful.
They should be able to fight.
As a result, there was less fighting intent in Mao Dun's heart, and there was less anger to fight to the death.
Who wants to die if they can live, and if they can live better?
He pulled his thoughts out of his mind, looked at Han Xin and said, "If this battle is lost, it is not the sin of my Hun wolf rider, but the sin of my khan!" ”

"If there is no civil strife first, how can you wait for this rampant to run rampant?"
Mao suddenly waved his arm: "This battle!" ”
"No Return!"
Han Xin also said in a deep voice: "Kill the enemy!" ”
The two huge armies were given orders in an instant, and then they began to attack.
The mobility of the wolf rider is very strong, and the attack is equally powerful, and I saw that at the command of Mao Dun, countless wolf riders began to charge!
The man on horseback was dressed in armor and held a spear in his hand.
The neighing of horses resounded across the grassland, and the eyes of the wolf riders were already red, and there were only two words in their eyes!
Fight the enemy!
And the sharp soldiers on Daqin's side are also ready to fight, and the first wave of cavalry charges will always be the most difficult to resist, but at this time, Daqin has already been prepared.
Black shields stood on the ground, and the people behind them were covered like dark clouds.
In the gap of the shield, spears are interspersed from it, and the archers and spearmen in the center are ready!
What Great Qin brought this time was not only archers and spearmen, but also repeating crossbows transported from Great Qin Xianyang!
There's even a new thing made by the Manufacturing Agency!
Bed crossbow!
The bed crossbow was originally an offensive weapon that would only appear in the Han Dynasty, and under the urging of Chen Ke, this weapon that would only appear in the Han Dynasty has now appeared.
And what is historical, fateful is that when this weapon appeared, it was all to deal with the same enemy.
Huns.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when attacking the Xiongnu or guarding the frontier, the bed crossbow was the most important weapon.
Today, the same is true.
At the moment when the cavalry launched an attack, in the Great Qin camp, which was waiting for the battle, one after another feathered arrows flew out.
Not just feathered arrows, but some things that don't look like arrows.
Those things were so huge and lethal that even Maudun could hear the sound of breaking through the air!
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
The creature's voice pierced through the void like a god of death coming out of the darkness.
Every sound takes away not just a soldier!
"Whew-"
The wailing of the horses was remembered, and the arrows pierced through the horses' bodies, and bright red blood spilled on the ground, rendering everything a mournful red.
There has only been a fight here, and now it is going to experience another fight!
The arrows passed through the air, not only through the body of the horse, but also through the body of the soldier on the horse, and more than one.
A loud roar covered everything.
Maudon pulled tightly at the horse beneath him, his eyes filled with shock and horror, and he looked at the arrows in the sky with an incredulous look on his face.
He even said in a daze: "Is this the divine punishment of the Immortal Heaven?" ”
It was just a moment of stunned that he understood that he was too little prepared!
Daqin is really prepared, the current Daqin is no longer the original Daqin, the current Daqin they can't beat at all, they can't deal with it!
Such a Great Qin, does it really need to use them to confront that Great Qin in the northwest?
Mao Dun didn't know why, and suddenly had some inexplicable intuition in his heart.
Maybe it's not that Great Qin can't defeat the "Great Qin" over there, maybe they're just too lazy to cross the mountains and seas to attack there......
This is a little sad for Maudun, but more than that, it is a blessing.
Glad the Huns were still useful!
Otherwise, today next year will be the sacrifice day of the year of the destruction of the Huns!
He exhaled softly, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore.
A third of the Hun soldiers had already evacuated quickly with old and young women and children, and they had to delay as much time as possible.
Of course......
This part of the soldiers did not want to go back, because they knew that it was impossible for Daqin to let the Xiongnu go to the northwest completely.....
A Xiongnu who survived and could barely fight against the so-called "Great Qin" Xiongnu in the northwest was what Great Qin needed......
Mao Dun closed his eyes slightly, letting the wind in his ears continue to howl.
He sighed slightly, that Chen Fengchang, is he so powerful? I'm afraid he has long been clear about the strength of the Huns, right?
It's even clear how you're going to arrange it?
Is such a person a human being or a god?
Mao Dun pierced through this piece of dust and war, and looked at the dark sky: "Immortal heaven, is this a god who has descended to the world?" ”
"Why can't you come down to earth and have mercy on your believers?"
His eyes were full of grief.
And the wolf rider who was fighting already understood when he saw the bed crossbow, the repeating crossbow, and even the shield in the hands of the Great Qin soldiers.
But they still didn't give up.
What if the final result is still a loss? War is about killing people!
Could it be that Daqin would give up his plans in a fit of rage because there were too many dead? How can it be!
How could the lives of these lower-level soldiers, the lives of these low-level people, those who are high up and above notice?
No one is stupid.
Especially when your own life is at stake.
"Kill!"
An angry roar came from the mouth of the Hun soldiers, what if the horses under them were killed? They are also capable of fighting with swords to the core!
The soldiers of the Huns were never a single species!
..........
Daqin, Zhangtai Palace
It was another night, the candle flame in the Zhangtai Palace illuminated the entire dark hall, and Yingzheng stood in front of Kanyutu, staring at the large land in front of him.
If the Xiongnu were really driven to the northwest, then this grassland, this extremely vast territory, would belong to Daqin.
He silently looked at the land.
This is a territory that the kings of the Great Qin Dynasty have never imagined, and they will feel incredible when they see it.
The grasslands of the Xiongnu added up to about half the size of today's Great Qin.
"Whew."
Ying Zheng sighed, and then said: "Chen Ke, after this piece of land is defeated, Great Qin will no longer lack cavalry from the west......
Chen Ke nodded slightly, the grassland was originally a place to breed good horses.
"Your Majesty, the Huns are good at breeding good horses, not to mention that the grassland is naturally a place to cultivate good horses."
He walked to Ying Zheng's side, and pointed his finger slightly to a place: "This leads to the Western Regions, and the minister heard that there is a place in the Western Regions that is also rich in good horses." ”
"After taking the Xiongnu, although I am not in a hurry to march west and take the Western Regions, I can plan in advance."
"On the way to the Western Regions, there is no longer an enemy who can compete with Great Qin."
Chen Ke's voice was very strong, but Ying Zheng heard ambition from it, he also stared at the northwest, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”
"Since then, there has been no more invincible Kou in the Western Regions!"
