Chapter 469: The Royal Court is Lost
Touman died for no reason, causing panic in the court of the Xiongnu king.
Mao Dun took power strongly, which was regarded as temporarily suppressing the internal turmoil, and then ordered a large-scale and comprehensive collection of men from all tribes within the Xiongnu area, and gathered in the royal court to resist the Qin army.
This is also Bai Zhong's arrangement, gathering people in the court of the Xiongnu king, so that the Qin army can serve it in one pot.
The Qin army went north, attacked the Xiongnu, and destroyed many tribes, this matter has long been spread in the Xiongnu, they hated the cruelty of the Qin army, and got the order of the new Shan Yu, and many people rushed to the tribe one after another.
Within a few days, more than 100,000 people had gathered.
These Huns shouted for revenge, and their enthusiasm was high and their fighting spirit was high.
Mao Dun didn't care about them, he gathered people for the time being, quickly made various arrangements, and waited for Bai Zhong to come to attack, but when he was in power, he was questioned by others.
Regardless of Meng Tian in the south, King Ligu ran back to the royal court directly, pointed at Mao Dun and said, "I want to know, how did Shan Yu die!" ”
He didn't believe that Touman would die for no reason, thinking that there must be something wrong with it.
Those who have this idea are not only the king of Yougu Li, but also many Xiongnu generals have come to express their doubts.
Mao Dun said in a loud voice: "Shan Yu's sudden death, no one in our royal court does not know, do you still want to suspect me?" Will I kill my father? Now that the foreign enemy is present, you don't want to retreat from the enemy, but start internal strife first, and want to fight with me for power? ”
This rebuttal made the king of the right valley and them stop the fire for a while.
It is true that there should be no infighting now, otherwise it will die faster.
So, they performed their duties and prepared to face the Qin army.
What Maudon should have done, has been almost done.
He didn't know how to get the news out.
can only wait for the people of the Black Ice Platform to come to the door to find themselves again.
The king of the right valley left the royal court and returned to the camp where he confronted Meng Tian.
"Maudun is so hateful!"
He said indignantly: "Shan Yu's death must be related to Mao Dun!" ”
He did not believe in such a general reason for violent death.
But there is no evidence to point directly at Maudun.
"Keep an eye on Meng Tian for me first."
The king of the right valley said loudly again, solve Meng Tian, and then go back to clean up Maodun.
But Meng Tian was stationed in the south and didn't do anything, which made him puzzled again, and he didn't dare to attack Meng Tian at will, this behavior was too abnormal, he was afraid that he would fall into some trap if he attacked rashly.
The stalemate between the two sides passed for some time.
One day, the uneasiness in the heart of the king of Yougu became stronger and stronger, and he always felt that something important was about to happen.
At this time, a soldier eagerly ran from the north and said, "Oh no, the Qin army is attacking the royal court!" ”
The Qin army is not in the south, how can it attack the royal court?
——
Bai Zhong came to the east side of the royal court and camped in a hidden canyon.
After receiving the news of the Black Ice Platform, he sent another order to Mao Dun, asking him to set fire to the city, create chaos, and cooperate with the Qin army, and then ordered all the troops ambushed on the periphery of the Xiongnu royal court to attack the royal court.
"It's Qin Jun...... There is also the Qin army here! ”
The Huns gathered in the royal court were suddenly shocked!
When they recovered, they found that the Qin army had approached the royal court from the east, west and north, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded the city and directly slaughtered them.
"Doesn't it mean that the Qin army only has more than 100,000 people from Meng Tian?"
"Where did these Qin troops come from?"
The people in the royal court, in addition to panicking, also began to discuss.
The remaining generals of the Xiongnu led troops to defend the city, but the Qin army was good at siege warfare, and their defense was not very powerful.
Mao Dun saw the Qin army coming in, brought a few cronies and his entourage, went to the barracks, and said in a low voice: "Set fire!" ”
"Shan Yu, do you really want to set fire?"
A cronie asked cautiously, unable to believe that Shan Yu was going to set fire to his own camp.
It's not normal to do that.
Mao Dun said: "Put!" ”
They can only set fires.
Not only in the barracks, but also in the city and in the houses, there was a large set of fires.
The smoke rushed into the sky in an instant, and the firelight spread in the city, and the already chaotic royal court was now even more chaotic, some people put out the fire, and some people defended the city, but they couldn't do anything.
The Qin army took advantage of the fire to break through the city tower on one side, and after opening the city gate, the army rushed into the city, they were not merciful, as long as they saw that it was the Huns, they directly brandished the horizontal knife and killed.
"The Qin army has entered the city!"
Someone shouted.
There was chaos in the city.
Many people wanted to escape, but they couldn't escape at all, waiting outside were more Qin troops, raising Changge, brandishing horizontal knives, and killing them in the flames of battle.
"Why would Shan Yu do this?"
Knowing that the person who set the fire was Mao Dun, those Xiongnu generals immediately led their troops to confront Mao Dun and question.
Mao Dun didn't explain, but just gathered a large number of personal guards, protected them by his side, and confronted these generals, but the confrontation didn't last long, and had to end as more and more Qin troops entered the city.
Those generals led their troops to resist and wanted to rush out and flee for their lives.
But the Qin army besieged the city and did not give them a chance to escape.
The chaos in the city was even worse, there were fires, blood and corpses everywhere, and the people in the royal court did not want to resist, they just wanted to escape, but they could not escape, and in the end they had to fight to the death.
They had no fighting spirit, and their morale dropped to zero.
Basically, they were pressed to kill.
Bai Zhong saw that the battle was almost going on, and he also led his troops into the city, and quickly found Maotun and them.
"Wu Anjun, I did it."
Maudun said respectfully.
The other guards who followed him changed their faces when they saw this, they didn't expect that the mole was their Shan Yu, how could this be possible?
Bai Zhong said: "You did a good job, but it's a pity that you are the Huns, and you killed them all." ”
He didn't think about letting Maudon go.
The men of the Black Ice Platform stepped forward with their crossbows and shot them.
In the face of powerful crossbow arrows, these people simply did not have the ability to resist.
The war in the royal court gradually subsided.
The three-sided army that surrounded the royal court entered the city at this time and almost slaughtered the Huns in the city.
Only Meng Tian and the others in the south were left, still confronting the King of the Right Valley.
Bai Zhong said in a loud voice: "Geng Wu took 50,000 people to the south to help Meng Tian." ”
——
Knowing that the royal court was attacked by the Qin army, the king of Yougu Li looked back, and sure enough, he could see the turmoil, and he was immediately anxious: "Go back quickly and save the royal court!" ”
As soon as they withdrew their troops and retreated to the royal court, Meng Tian moved.
"Fight, kill!"
Meng Tian decisively ordered.
By this time, the plan had been successful.
The light and heavy cavalry first rushed to the retreating rear army of the king of the right valley.
The infantry followed.
The king of Yougu Liwang found that the Qin army behind him was chasing and killing, and had to divide a part of the Xiongnu soldiers to resist the broken queen.
The people after the break were killed by the Qin army after a while.
After blocking Meng Tian for a while, King Liking of Yougu retreated a certain distance, but before he could retreat to the royal court, he saw the Iron Eagle Ruishi led by Geng Wu, as well as 50,000 Qin troops, coming to kill.
He could also see that the royal court seemed to be lost.
