Chapter 34 The Huns Go South
Lintao is a military county where Meng Tian stays.
There are about 30,000 infantry and about 10,000 cavalry garrisons here.
If the Huns go south, they will usually launch an attack from here first, so such military buildings are all very good.
However, today there are unprecedentedly more troops here than before.
No, it was because 30,000 stirrups and 30,000 sabers were transported from Xianyang a few days ago, so Meng Tian saw that there was no war at the moment. So he concentrated all the cavalry on the frontier here and then held a one-week training camp.
Of course, Meng Tian needs to train him after being equipped with new stirrups and sabers.
Therefore, Lintao now unexpectedly had the remaining 20,000 cavalrymen.
But maybe this is also lucky.
...
Meng Tian was never vague in leading his troops. Therefore, even though there had been no war for a long time, the dozens of scouts were patrolling the front line in Lintao on time.
Just on a leeward slope.
A team of eight scouts from Daqin patrolled for several hours and then found the leeward slope to correct it.
But shortly after they came down to rest, the captain who was eating suddenly moved his ears.
Then his face suddenly changed.
He quickly put away the water bag in his hand. Then he suddenly lay down at the ground, and his ears were on the ground.
In an instant, he felt the slight vibration of the earth.
"Is it..." The scout captain was shocked. This was the nearest patrol area to Lintao.
And there was no large army out today. Could it be that the Huns were here?
However, if the Huns came, why haven't the scout teams in front discovered it yet?
At this time, the other scouts also found something and looked at each other.
"Hurry! Get on the horse and go back to the city!" The scout said immediately, and then ran towards the horse beside him quickly.
The other seven scouts also changed their faces, and then they quickly turned over and rode out of the leeward slope.
But as soon as they rode out of the leeward slope, they all turned back to look at the great plain behind them, and saw an endless crowd of people, oh, it should be said that the cavalry came towards them.
The scout captain looked from a distance and blurted out: "No! It's the Huns, let's go back!"
As he said that, he took the lead, whipped the war horse under his crotch with one hand, and immediately headed towards Lintao City.
The scouts behind also quickly followed.
But they were a little panicked.
Because the Huns behind them should have as many as 30,000 at first glance.
When did the Huns dare to launch troops in the Qin Dynasty?
Since seven or eight years ago, no Huns dared to go south and herd their horses?
Could it be that the Huns are crazy today and dare to come south to Lintao?
The next moment.
The scouts vaguely saw Lintao City in the distance. However, when they looked back, the black Hun cavalry chasing behind them also came.
At this time, the scout captain looked at the distance, then grabbed the reins with one hand and took out a scout's horn from his arms with the other.
Put the horn in his mouth, and use his last strength to blew the horn of conveying the message.
"Wuwuwu...Wuwuwuwuwu...""
The rapid sound of trumpet came from the scouts rushing back.
At this time, Lintao City deputy general Meng Dahu also heard the unique horn sound of the scout team coming.
When I heard the rushing horn sound, my heart sank.
Then Meng Dahu suddenly looked up at the front.
I saw a familiar handsome flag slowly rising from the slow grassland directly in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that under the banner, there were heads, followed by the body.
In the end, the dense cavalry appeared in Meng Dahu's eyes.
The black war horse, the unique Hun clothing, and the big scimitar.
Meng Dahu was shocked as the crowds of people grew bigger and bigger in his pupils.
I saw thousands of cavalry, boundless, tens of thousands of cavalry, grounded to the sky!
Those cavalry were not as neat and as slaughtered as the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.
These Hun cavalry were a little scattered, like a pot of loose sand.
However, Meng Dahu knew deeply in his heart that these Hun cavalry were the real cavalry!
Because they have unique war horses and have grown up riding horses since they were young. They also have the warlike wind of eating raw meat and drinking blood. This is the Huns, the cruel Huns!
Although Meng Tianhu didn't understand why the Huns suddenly launched troops to move south, and he didn't understand that the Huns who were beaten up back then dared to move south.
What he has to do now is: "The Huns are here! The Huns are here!"
Meng Dahu yelled loudly with all his strength.
Suddenly, the soldiers on Lintao City looked at the grassland in the distance.
Suddenly, the soldiers on the city were shocked.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Dahu shouted again: "When the scouts in front came back, they immediately put the rebels and then closed the city gates, so the Qin soldiers were ready to fight, the archers were ready! The crossbow soldiers were ready, the bed crossbow soldiers were ready..." Meng Dahu immediately calmly gave various orders after a little surprise just now.
"The messenger, go and find General Meng Tian immediately..."
After conveying the order, Meng Dahu stood on the city wall again, watching the Hun cavalry getting closer and closer. This time, Meng Dahu felt a heavy feeling.
He knew that the Huns did not think it was a joke this time.
They knew that there were 300,000 Qin soldiers guarding this frontier, and they all dared to come, so they must have a support! Could it be that the Huns were unified?
Logically speaking, even if a large tribe can afford 30,000 cavalry, it is impossible. Unless the unruly men of the other side are all on war horses, it is impossible to gather more than 30,000 cavalry.
At this time, the team of scouts came back. At the same time, the surrounding repellers were also arranged. Now the repellers in front of the city gate are being arranged.
While busy here, more than 30,000 cavalry from the Huns slowly gathered into an endless black frenzy! Under the guidance of the Huns's flag, these cavalry rolled towards Lintao City. Yes, it felt like they were pressing over.
The rolling yellow sand from afar, the incomprehensible Hun language, and the heavy iron hooves trampling on the earth, giving people a feeling of heart-pounding.
On the city of Lintao City, the archers and crossbowmen were all staring calmly in front of them.
At the same time, the troops behind the city were constantly rushing towards the city.
The arrows placed in the armory were also continuously transported to the city.
Those local soldiers also quickly entered a state of combat, and the war was about to break out.
