Chapter 391, Kill the King's Banner, Pay the Gold (Ask for a Monthly Pass!! )
As soon as the night covered the sky, the headquarters of the Right Virtuous King sent out three teams of scouts, and one scout rode forward on horseback, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
"Damn the night." The scout glanced at the dark sky and said.
Without the light of the moon, the whole grassland was extremely dark, and the scouts could only follow the route in their minds as much as possible, and as the scouts patrolled, the hills in front of them soon attracted the scouts' attention, and under the dark night sky, there seemed to be something moving on the hills in front of them.
The scout stepped forward to find out, and as the scout got closer, he gradually saw what was on the hill, it was the black cavalry all over the mountain, like black ghosts, their faces had black animal faces, some people had some blood left on their bodies, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and a pair of eyes exuded a fierce light, like a devil who had come to the world.
Countless pairs of eyes and in the dark night, in the face of the cavalry all over the mountains looking down on him, the strong sense of oppression and murderous aura instantly frightened the scouts into pale, and the horses under the crotch were also frightened by this amazing momentum, constantly screaming in fear, and their hooves kept spinning, trying to escape.
Looking at the cavalry in front of him, the scout immediately thought of the description of those who escaped from the tribe broken through by the Qin army, in the dark night, like the devil who was sealed in the ground by the immortal heaven in their mythology, under the shroud of night, rushed to kill their tribe, those cavalry were dressed in pitch-black armor, and in their hands were weapons they had never seen, and their weapons hit the bodies of these cavalrymen as if they were hitting iron blocks, without the slightest effect.
The scouts remembered the name of the devil's cavalry: the Golden Fire Cavalry!
The scout trembled and tried to turn his horse's head to escape, but before he could turn his horse's head, Meng Tian aimed at the scout with his bow and arrow, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded.
"Whoosh~"
The scout shuddered and fell off his horse.
Meng Tian didn't look at the scout's body, but looked at the headquarters of the Right Virtuous King burning in front of him, the royal flag belonging to the Right Virtuous King fluttering in the night sky above the tribe, and the surrounding firelight made the banner particularly conspicuous.
Usually, this royal flag makes the tribes around the Youxian tribe dare not have the slightest disrespect, and the surrounding firelight illuminates the banner in the dark night, and it is also so that the Hun robbers or stray soldiers who are wandering around do not dare to invade the headquarters of the Right Xian King, but today this banner will bring an unprecedented killing to the headquarters of the Right Xian King.
Because of the great war between the Youxian Wang tribe and the Qin State, or because of the front cars of other tribes, even if the headquarters of the Youxian King is in the hinterland of the grassland, its security is still tight, and the Hulin tribe is completely different, Meng Tian licked his lips, his armor was stained with some blood that had just dried up, and these blood belonged to the Hun soldiers of the previous tribe.
After searching on the grassland for more than half a month, Meng Tian finally came to the headquarters of the Right Xian King.
Meng Tian pulled down the black iron face, and the black cavalry behind him who melted into the night was already ready to charge, and one by one they clenched the horse ropes in their hands, and their bodies were ready to charge.
Looking at the brightly lit Right Xian King's headquarters in front of him, Meng Tian waved the spear in his hand and ordered
"Charge!!"
As Meng Tian took the lead in clamping his legs on the horse's belly, the horses under his crotch rushed forward, and the cavalry around him caught up with Meng Tian with their legs on the horse's belly, and the cavalry who rushed in front looked at the tribe in front and immediately opened their bows and arrows and aimed at the people patrolling in front.
The deafening sound of horses' hooves naturally alarmed the patrollers, but before they had time to see the situation outside, the sky was full of arrows and arrows coming at them, taking advantage of the fact that these Hun soldiers were so pressed by the rain of arrows that they couldn't raise their heads, the golden fire cavalry had rushed to the front of the Hun tribe, and the cavalry in front broke the wooden gate, and the saber in his hand ruthlessly harvested the lives of the soldiers of the headquarters of the Right Xian King.
The surrounding Hun soldiers desperately wanted to block the Qin cavalry, but the infantry did not have the slightest ability to resist in the face of the charging cavalry, especially in the face of the sudden impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, they could not resist, but in a moment, the Hun soldiers at the gate were swept away, and Meng Tian took the lead with the golden fire cavalry and rushed into the camp of the headquarters of the Right Xian King, aiming directly at the royal banner of the Right Xian King of the Xiongnu.
The moment the Golden Fire Cavalry rushed into the camp, they began to clean up the surrounding Hun soldiers, and the Hun soldiers who rushed out of the camp were beheaded before they could resist, and some of the Hun Cavalry turned over and wanted to fight against the Golden Fire Cavalry, but they had no ability to resist in the face of the Golden Fire Cavalry equipped to the teeth.
For a while, the entire headquarters of the Right Xian King was in a mess, the sound of fighting, crying, and the sound of flesh collision was endless, Meng Tian's goal has always been very clear, that is, the royal banner of the Xiongnu Right Xian King, the Hun soldiers naturally discovered Meng Tian's intentions, and desperately wanted to block Meng Tian, but the golden fire cavalry around Meng Tian was not vegetarian, the spear in Meng Tian's hand kept waving, and the corpses of the Hun soldiers around him kept falling.
Meng Tian fought all the way and finally came to the king's flag, Meng Tian pulled out the long sword at his waist and cut off the flagpole of the right sage king's banner.
With the moment the king flag fell, the Xiongnu soldiers were immediately in chaos, and the Xiongnu soldiers who were originally desperately resisting also retreated, and suddenly the entire Youxian King headquarters became a battlefield dominated by the golden fire cavalry, and the killing continued until dawn, and the originally prosperous Youxian King headquarters was bleeding like a river at the moment, and the corpses of the Hun soldiers could be seen everywhere, and more Hun women, old people and children were squatting on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, for fear that the butcher's knife of the Qin army would fall on their heads.
The surviving Hun soldiers threw their weapons to the ground, raised the weapons in their hands, and the night of fighting allowed them to see the strength of the Golden Fire Cavalry, they didn't believe the words of those who escaped from the broken tribe before, but now they have personally seen the strength of the Golden Fire Cavalry, and their hearts are full of fear at this moment.
After a night of bloody battles, the Golden Fire Cavalry was also extremely tired at the moment, basically no one was unscathed, even if it was Meng Tian, a general, there were a lot of wounds on his body, but their faces under the iron mask were full of excitement, and the military exploits they won in this battle were enough for them to eat for three lifetimes.
Severely wounded cavalrymen were bandaged at the military doctor's office. After Meng Tian wrapped up the wounds on his body, he put on his armor again and walked out of the tent.
Seeing Meng Tian come out, the deputy general stepped forward and said with a smile
"General, a big victory, this time we killed 50,000 enemies, and all the new forces left in the headquarters of the entire Xiongnu Right Xianwang were all wiped out by us, and there is no specific number of captured Huns, but there are probably more than 100,000 people, and cattle, sheep, horses, and jewelry are countless. And this time, we also captured the three sons of King Youxian, the princess, Xiangguo, younger brother and other Hun nobles more than 200 people. ”
Looking at the wound on the adjutant general's face, Meng Tian asked
"How are our cavalrymen wounded?"
Noticing Meng Tian's gaze, the adjutant general said
"We also suffered a lot of losses, 160 soldiers were killed in the battle, 317 were seriously wounded, and the number of minor wounded is even more incalculable, but it does not affect our overall combat strength.
"How's your injury?"
"The last general didn't have anything to do, he was just attacked by a Hun cavalry and cut his face." The adjutant general said indifferently.
"General, what are we going to do next?" The deputy will continue to ask.
"The old rule, the Hun soldiers who are willing to surrender are incorporated into the auxiliary corps, as for the captured and captured prisoners, take some away if they can, don't affect our march, you can watch if you can't take it away." Meng Tian said.
"No!"
"Send someone to the marshal to inform the marshal." Meng Tian said.
"No!"
Then the adjutant general went to arrange things, Meng Tian turned his head and walked to the other side, and the four lieutenants in front of him came over with a group of soldiers, and the soldiers carried a humanoid statue made of pure gold.
"General, this is what we are searching for, according to the captured Huns, this is the golden man of the right Xian King to sacrifice to the sky, according to each of their Xiongnu tribes that have such a golden man, but among them, the Jin people belonging to the Zuo Xian King and the Right Xian King are the most important." One of the lieutenants said.
"Bring this thing with us, and the royal banner of the Right Virtuous King?"
"Here General!"
The four soldiers opened the royal flag of the right virtuous king and revealed, the black flag with a bear head, Meng Tian touched the flag with his hand, and found that this flag was not a cloth, but an animal skin, it seems that it should be sewn from several black bear skins, and the top of the king flag has a pendant called a feather.
The Xiongnu called themselves the wolf clan, and the symbol of the Xiongnu royal court was a wild wolf, but the right and left virtuous kings were black bears and goshawks, representing the fierce beasts of the grassland.
"Well, put these two things away, and go back to hand them over to the king!"
"No!"
Then after the soldiers let Meng Tian check all the royal seals of the Right Xian King, the capture and sorting of the Right Xian King's headquarters was completed, and then Meng Tian left the Right Xian King's headquarters with the golden fire cavalry and the captured prisoners.
At this time, on the frontal battlefield, Meng Wu had already received the information sent by Meng Tian on a fast horse, and after learning that Meng Tian had successfully attacked the headquarters of the Right Xian King, he stood in front of the map and began to estimate Meng Tian's location at the moment.
The headquarters of the right Xian King was sneak attacked, the army in front of the front will definitely be chaotic after receiving this news, the Xiongnu army is gathered by various tribes, first the right Xian Wang himself will be impatient, but when he heard that the headquarters of the right Xian Wang was attacked, other tribal leaders will also worry that their tribe will be attacked, and they will definitely advocate withdrawing the army back to defend their tribes, and when the Xiongnu army has no will to fight, they will be able to take advantage of the chaos and Meng Tian to attack the Xiongnu army on both sides.
After estimating the approximate location of Meng Tian, Meng Wu began to issue military orders, and began to stop the attack of the large armies attacking from all sides, and at the same time began to shrink the scouts, giving up the contest with the Right Virtuous King to prepare for a decisive battle.
And in the Hun camp, King Youxian was furious at the moment, and he lifted up the kneeling soldiers below and asked loudly
"What did you say!? Hei Qin's Golden Fire Cavalry has attacked my headquarters!? How can it be!? ”
King Youxian's face turned red at this moment, the killing intent and anger in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and the leaders of the surrounding tribes also had strange expressions at this moment, and some even began to exchange glances with each other.
"Back to the king, we don't know that the cavalry of Hei Qin raided our headquarters a few days ago, and the entire tribe was destroyed by them. The golden man who sacrificed to the heavens, the king's banner, and the princes were all captured by them. The soldier continued.
Hearing the soldier's words, King Youxian's eyes were red and he threw the soldier out on the spot, and then pulled out the weapon at his waist and pointed at the soldier and said
"How dare you fake information? I'll kill you!! ”
"The king spares his life, what I said is true, I don't dare to have the slightest lie, many tribes have been attacked by Hei Qin's cavalry along the way." The soldier knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Hearing the soldier's words, the leaders of the surrounding tribes could no longer sit still, stood up and stopped the angry Youxian King, and asked the soldier
"What tribes have you seen attacked?"
The soldiers told all the things they had seen on the road, and among the tribes that Meng Tian had attacked was the person sitting at the head of the tribe.
"Damn Hei Qin, I'm going to fight them to the death!" The Right Virtuous King said angrily.
However, none of the tribal leaders present had any intention of subordinating themselves to King Youxian, and at this moment they had only one thought in their minds, and that was to return to their tribe and prevent Meng Tian from attacking their tribe.
"The king thinks twice, now Hei Qin's golden fire cavalry is rampant in our hinterland, if we are still here in a stalemate with Hei Qin's army, even if we defeat Hei Qin, we will face the tribe after being burned and killed." A tribal leader stepped forward and said.
"Yes, my lord, the families of our tribe's warriors are all in the tribe, and if someone lets them know that their family is in danger, they probably won't want to fight anymore!!"
"Great King, now we should go and stop Hei Qin's golden fire cavalry and save the captured princes."
For a while, the whole tent was in a rotation, everyone was talking, but they all meant the same, they didn't want to fight, the tribal leaders who were not attacked wanted to go back to protect their tribes, and the attacked tribal leaders wanted to rush back to keep their tribes and the army in their hands, if there was another problem with the army in their hands, they would completely disappear on the grassland. The competition on the steppes is even more brutal than in the Central Plains.
The red eyes of the Right Virtuous King scanned the tribal leaders who were full of tents, he wanted to seek revenge from Hei Qin, but he also knew that if he insisted on going his own way, these tribal leaders might directly lead the troops away, and then he would lose the support of these people, but he was also a little unwilling to let him go back like this.
"We'll talk about this later, you all go out first." King Youxian said coldly.
The tribal leaders looked at the cold face of the right Xian Wang and didn't say anything, and left the camp directly, and the tribal leaders who left began to discuss this matter privately.
When King Youxian was thinking, his subordinates had already reported the current movements of the main force of the Qin army.
