Chapter 268

This winter came earlier than before, more than a month earlier, and it can be said that this winter was unexpected by the Huns.

In the past, the steppe tribes would migrate south before the onset of winter, but now because of the threat of running wolves and light horses, the Xiongnu tribes did not dare to go south at all.

However, after the Huns froze to death and frostbitten a large number of people under the heavy snowfall, some tribes chose to take risks and began to move south.

And Mao Dun of the Southern Expedition was also sad at this time, looking at the snow in the barracks, Mao Dun gave the order for the whole army to be pulled.

Even though there is still snow in the sky, it is better than rain. If the army is not drawn now, the morale of the army is likely to be unstable, and many tribal leaders have already wanted to withdraw their troops back.

This kind of thing is never allowed, once someone retreats, then others will follow suit, and in order to survive, the tribes can only plunder each other.

"Warriors! I know you're dying to go home now! But! Now home, what can you bring back! Only by breaking through the defense line of the Qin people! We'll be able to bring back enough food! ”

"Follow me! Endure the test of God on us and attack the Central Plains! Get more food and women! "Maudun loudly boosted the morale of the whole army before leaving, and a few words stirred up greed in the hearts of all the soldiers.

Soon, the Xiongnu army set off and rushed towards the border of Daqin with a roar.

At this time, the wolf light cavalry is also ready to go, and now the 300,000 troops of the Huns cannot be stopped by the wolf light cavalry, so the wolf light cavalry has made sufficient preparations in the past few days.

The legs of the horses were wrapped in cloth, and the horses were also covered with down jackets, and the fabrics were made of anti-water oilcloth.

The soldiers also wore a layer of compacted down jackets under their armor, a layer of oilcloth to protect them from the wind, their shoes were wool, and their gloves were woven from wool, so they were dressed as warmly as possible without affecting the battle.

These pieces of equipment were all made and sent by the Qin Xi Chamber of Commerce after spending nearly a month, and the money spent made even Qin Xi feel distressed.

Each person brought ten days of dry rations, and a small bag of clean charcoal, and then they were ready to go.

Qin Xi walked out of the camp tent and happened to see Zhao Yi walking over with the small bag of charcoal, and asked, "My lord, what are you asking us to do with this small bag of charcoal?" ”

Qin Xi said: "Of course, it is used for drinking water, if you have time, you can filter the snow suit, it is cleaner than eating snow directly." ”

"Filtering? Clean? Isn't the snow clean? Didn't you eat like this when you were a child? Zhao Yi's head was full of question marks.

Qin Xi patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder and said, "Are the brothers ready?" ”

Zhao Yi put away the charcoal and said, "It's all ready, ready to go at any time!" ”

At this time, a fast horse ran back, and the soldiers sent out to monitor the movements of the Hun army returned.

"My lord! The Xiongnu army has set off and is rapidly heading towards the border of our Great Qin, and at this speed, it will be able to reach the border of our Great Qin within three days. The soldier said.

"It seems that there may be problems in the rear of the Huns, so they will be in such a hurry." Qin Xi frowned and said.

Zhao Yi said: "With such a big wind and snow, it is not easy to feel in the depths of the grassland. ”

"Pass the order! The whole army is ready to go! All the scouts in the camp are withdrawn! Qin Xi ordered loudly.

"No!"

······

After two teas, six thousand white cloaked wolves rode eastward and disappeared into the white grassland, while the sky was still drifting with snowflakes.

At the same time, the Xiongnu army was also hurrying on its way.

Mao Dun ordered the newly appointed forward general Hu Yanhao to lead 30,000 iron cavalry to explore the way south one step ahead of the army, that is, the vanguard army.

Huyanhao is the leader of the Huyan tribe, and he is also the younger one among the many tribal leaders, and his strength is not bad, and the most important thing is that he is very loyal to Maudun.

Hu Yanhao worked fast along the way, shortening the army's one-day journey to half a day.

Suddenly, the horses and people in front let out a wail, and then they got into the ground, and the ones behind didn't react, and either fell down with them, or tripped directly in front of them.

Hu Yanhao grabbed the horse rope in time and survived this time, only to see that there were several deep pits on the ground, and after being covered by snow, he couldn't see it at all, and as a result, even people and horses were hit.

When Hu Yanhao saw it, many war horses were directly broken and died on the spot, and only a few of those soldiers were fine, and the others were either injured, or directly hit and killed in the pit, or were stoned to death by those who fell from behind.

"How can there be so many pits here!" Hu Yanhao asked angrily, but apparently no one could tell him why.

"Chief! There's something over there. One of his subordinates pointed to the front.

"You go over and take a look!" Hu Yanhao said.

"Yes! Chieftain! The man saw that he had a chance to behave, so he rushed out.

As a result, he didn't go far, the war horse stepped directly into the air and fell, the horse's head hit the ground directly and broke, and the man was thrown out and hit the edge of the hole, and after a scream, his whole head was knocked into the chest, and he lost his breath.

Hu Yanhao was stunned, but he didn't expect that there was still a hole, so he ordered: "Someone!" Dismount and explore the way! Find out all the holes! ”

So a large group of Hun soldiers dismounted, took their spears and threw them to the ground, rubbing them without taking a step, and soon found many deep pits hidden by the snow.

Looking at the pit that was constantly marked, Hu Yanhao's face was a little ugly, no matter how stupid a person was, he now knew that this must be a ghost made by the Qin people.

"Qin people!" Hu Yanhao was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered: "Send someone to see if there is any trace of the Qin people around!" ”

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and there was no trace of the Qin people around, so just wait for the pit in front to be cleared.

After waiting for an hour, he finally cleared out a road that was twisted for seven or eight twists, and then Hu Yanhao waited for someone to walk over slowly.

After reaching the end, Hu Yanhao saw clearly that there was a wooden board combed at the end of this place.

Hu Yanhao personally dismounted and wiped the snow on it, only to see a few Qin seal characters written on it: Please pay attention to the pit!

Hu Yanhao has learned Qin characters, and after seeing these Qin characters, he was immediately angry, and he came over to remind him! Is the person with the sign written on it sick?

Hu Yanhao kicked the sign away, leaving a few soldiers, and then rode on his horse and galloped south with people again.

The Hun army that followed behind arrived here in less than an hour, looking at the traps that had been cleared, if the more than 200,000 troops passed from above, it would definitely be a waste of time.

Mao Dun immediately ordered: "The whole army will go around in two ways!" Hu Yanhao, this idiot! Wasted an entire hour here! Tell him! If he can't see the Qin border tomorrow! Ben Shan Yu let him feed the horses! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers below were so frightened that they lowered their heads.
