Chapter 101: The Second Emperor is not to be underestimated!
Zhao Song was a little strange and asked Dahe curiously: "It was Wu Jian who defeated Huermu?" Why have I never heard of such a general in Great Qin? Listening to you, it seems like a big win? ”
Dach shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"I only heard the name Wu Jian, but I don't know who he is, what kind of soldiers and horses he led, and how he fought with Huermu. Even the great victory of Gushui that your Great Qin announced to the world also concealed information about Wu Jian and that Qin army. ”
A few people didn't think much about it, the appearance of such an army in Great Qin was a good thing for both the Dada Department and Great Qin, who were now in a worrying situation.
Immediately, a few people remembered that there was also a Hurda Captain next to him, and glanced at the Captain of Ten Thousand Riders standing next to him.
Seeing them looking at him, the commander of the ten thousand horsemen hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you generals for sparing my life, I will be loyal to the Great Khan and the Great Qin Emperor in the future!" ”
Several people looked at each other, and Dach laughed: "Okay! Let's drink together tonight and celebrate your lost life! ”
Captain Wan hurriedly rejoiced: "Thank you to the generals!" ”
That night, the commander of the ten thousand horsemen was dazed by several people, and he only vaguely heard a few people say: "Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, and they are ...... repeatedly" and fell drunk on the table unconscious.
The next day, someone asked, and several people only said that the commander of the Ten Thousand Horsemen felt deeply guilty about the Great Khan, and had already gone to Yanzhi Mountain to ask the Great Khan for guilt......
At this time, at the western foot of Yin Mountain, the 20,000 Hun cavalry led by He Da had been waiting for ten days.
He Da was already impatient, remembering what Tou Mandan Yu told him before leaving, he should be careful not to beware of Huermu directly capturing Qilian Mountain, and once the entire north of Qilian Mountain is occupied by him, I am afraid that he will no longer obey the orders of the Xiongnu.
On the eighth day of Huermu's departure, Heda already vaguely felt that something was wrong. From here to Dongqiang, it is only a three-day journey, even if it is a fierce battle for two days, it is time to send the news back, so I immediately ordered someone to go to find out the news.
Today is the tenth day, and he has been waiting anxiously in the tent, and the scout he sent out has finally returned.
Seeing Tanqi's panicked expression, Heda's heart tightened, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Prince Heda! The villain found traces of the battle in Hongya Mountain, and found buried corpses two hundred steps to the west. ”
Heda was shocked, got up and said in disbelief: "Forty thousand? All wiped out? Are you sure? ”
The detective responded: "The villain also felt unbelievable, so he quietly touched all the way to the Dongqiang land, where the Qin people and the Beiqiang clan showed no signs of fighting. Along the way, he didn't meet a single Huermu tribe, so the villain guessed that they were all killed! ”
He Da sat on a stool, he couldn't believe that the 40,000 cavalry had disappeared so quietly, could it be that the Qin people had already set up an ambush?
"Report this matter to my father immediately!"
Three days later, Toumandanyu, who was far away in the hinterland of the grassland, received news from Heda and hurriedly summoned the four tribal leaders.
Several people were also shocked when they heard it.
The most arrogant Hedu also showed a look of shock on his face, no matter how deep his hostility to Huermu was, he said that Huermu was vulnerable, and he had to admit in his heart that the strength of the Huermu cavalry was not much better than that of the elite cavalry of the Huns.
Now 40,000 people have disappeared so miraculously, and not even a single person alive has escaped, which shows the horror of the enemy.
"Shan Yu, I'm afraid this matter is not simple!"
Mu Erti, who had the most trouble dealing with him, also realized the seriousness of the matter and did not say anything to mock him.
"Yes, 40,000 people were wiped out quietly. Our four major tribes plus Shan Yu's cavalry, a total of only 150,000 people, if we are the vanguard, I am afraid that if we lose 40,000 people, I will not be able to fight against the Qin people again this year! ”
Sha Linmu nodded and agreed: "Shan Yu Yingming, if it weren't for Shan Yu to make Huermu the vanguard, the loss would be our Xiongnu warriors!" ”
Wan Dayuan followed and hugged his fists and said: "Shan Yu Yingming! What do we do next? ”
Tou Mandan's face was solemn, and he naturally understood that if he didn't figure out how Huermu was defeated, he might end up with the same fate as Huermu if he continued to attack rashly.
"I mean, Shilling and Da led the army back to the Wanda tribe to rest, and the food and grass they brought with them were not enough for a long time. Ordered people to find out how Huermu was defeated as soon as possible, and the news that came back didn't even know what the Qin army looked like, we can't risk the lives of the warriors rashly! ”
The four did not object, this is the best way. If Toumanshan insisted on continuing the attack, it would be the people of their four major tribes who would have been lost.
Half a month later, Tou Mandanyu finally got further information.
"The Scout has returned. Huermu, an idiot, did not attack the Dongqiang Land with all his strength according to my arrangement, but divided 10,000 troops to attack the Xiqiang Land. The detectives carefully probed the place where the bodies were buried, and more than 20,000 people were killed in battle, the rest were captured, and the Qiang soldiers who attacked the Western Qiang land surrendered directly to the Qin army. ”
Hedu also slapped the table and said angrily: "I said a long time ago, this traitor is not credible!" He divided his troops to attack Xiqiang, he must have wanted to take Qilian Mountain in one go and contend with my Huns! ”
Although Hedu is also reckless, he is not brainless, and he can naturally figure out the joints.
Tou Mandan's face changed slightly when he heard this. It was he who advocated letting Huermu explore the way, and now Huermu died in battle, losing 40,000 cannon fodder, and making the Huns lose the opportunity, he really can't shake off this pot, so he has no words.
Mu Er Ti hurriedly diverted the topic: "Shan Yu, is there any news about the Qin army?" ”
Tou Manshan Yu shook his head and frowned: "The Qin army that defeated Huermu is mysterious, and the Tancai has not even found the slightest bit of useful information. Judging from the traces of the battlefield, the Qin army was only more than 30,000 people, attacking Huermu from the front and back of Hongya Mountain and on the mountain, and set up an ambush on the east bank of Gushui. ”
Wan Dayuan gasped.
"What? The Qin army and the Huermu army are equal in strength? The Qin people were able to defeat the Qiang army with the same number of troops? ”
The other three were also suspicious, and they couldn't believe that the Qin army actually had such combat power.
Tou Manshan Yu sighed and continued: "Not only that, but the place where the Qin army buried the corpses was also found on the southern slope of Hongya Mountain, roughly speaking, there were only about three hundred people! ”
There was silence in the tent for a while, and the Qin army only lost three hundred people, what is the difference between this and no casualties?
"Let's slow down the attack on Qilian Mountain for the time being, and make a decision after finding out the situation and whereabouts of that Qin army!"
Several people did not say anything against it, and they had not yet woken up from the shock brought to them by the Qin army, and after clasping their fists and saluting, they silently got up and walked out of the big tent.
Tou Manshan Yu looked at their backs and muttered, "It seems that this second little emperor of the Qin Dynasty should not be underestimated......"
