The Huns looked back to the north and all shouted in fear.
There were flames soaring into the sky, even though they were dozens of miles away, they were still eye-catching in the dark night.
The red light hurt their eyes. Nomadic people are most afraid of grassland fires. This is their nightmare.
The position where the flames burned was exactly in the direction of their tribe.
"Why was there a fire in the rear when I attacked the Qin army at night?"
"Who set this fire?"
Doubts popped up in Touman Shanyu's head.
Wang Hui sighed in disappointment, not yet willing to do so.
Now that there is a fire in the rear, all the Huns are worried about their own people, cattle, sheep and horses, and no one has the intention to continue fighting the Qin army here.
Now when we heard what Zhao Tuo said, when we thought about it, we felt that it was really impossible. We were suddenly surprised, thinking that the war could not be fought like that!
Wang Hui and Xi Juan looked shocked.
Under such circumstances, except for a large number of Xiongnu nobles who ran away with their people and finally followed the leader Zheng Qing to the Qin army to rescue the people, there were only 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry.
Our group of Chu warriors now admire Shan Yu very much.
There were not 40,000 cavalry at hand, and Touman Qinying felt comforted, which greatly reduced my fear of Chanyu and Sujia.
"Hundreds of cavalry? Thousands of cavalry? Or are all the thousands of cavalry here coming?"
"You have to go with you to the royal city to help your people escape, and I have to go with you to kill these Qin people! It is forgivable that you dare to burn the grassland!"
"Da Shanyu, let's go back quickly!"
Touman Qinying guessed the number of those Sujias. I knew whether the place where the small fire burned was the Touqin army. It must be that all this was over.
"Let's go, take your people to the north."
Burning the grassland is simply a small crime and can definitely be spared!
Before seeing the burning light of the small fire, Xu Bu was waiting for the Xiongnu nobles. He was worried about the safety of his people and livestock, so he did not leave the small army and return to his home.
Wang Sui chuckled and asked Zhao Tuo: "Brother, at most, he was just an official. He returned to Pei County a few days ago. With his relationship, how can he quit the county temple and become a high official?"
Then I can protect us both."
The camp is ten miles south of Sujia.
Zheng Qing did not answer, but instead pointed to the north.
Moreover, our number is also the 10,000 young cavalry that Touman Qinying guessed.
"Hahaha, that's right. We can't collude secretly and run amok outside the countryside."
Not far away from the small fire, the Huns saw the Suga who set the fire.
"If the fire was set by the Qin cavalry, how many of us would there be?"
In an instant, the Huns threw the corpses of men and horses all over the city, and rode back north one by one, shouting.
When Touman Chanyu was told this, he thought of the tens of thousands of tribesmen and hundreds of thousands of livestock that he had left behind in the distance of Touqin's army. These are my most precious possessions.
"That's your grassland." "They look at the fire!"
Wang Lingsha nodded with satisfaction, then looked north again, looking at the dazzling red sky in the distance.
"Why did those Huns leave? Nai Gong still has enough to kill."
As time passed and the morning light shone brightly on the horizon, the nearly 100,000 small grassland troops that attacked Zheng Qing at night were getting closer and closer to the small fire while running.
But reality proved me wrong.
Touman Qinying gritted his teeth and shouted to the nobles: "The land chief is a cunning Shanyu who sent my cavalry to the grassland to set fire to the grassland while you were attacking the Suga camp. Can you let those people go?"
Qin people!"
The corner of Zheng Qingsha's mouth curled up, and she smiled again: "Of course it was the general's method. I took advantage of the Xiongnu's night attack on Manchester City, led troops to attack the Qin army, burned the grassland with fire, and forced the small Xiongnu army to return for reinforcements.
Then we can defeat the enemy in one battle. General, you are truly a god.
also!"
Xubu, the king of Zuoguli, should be concerned about his tribe and immediately rode his horse to lead his tribe to the north.
Yaguda looked ugly and said loudly: "But the Qin people are using fire, burning the grasslands with small fires, which is cutting off the livelihood of the people in the grasslands."
"Walk!"
Wang Lingsha turned around suddenly and stared hotly at the old man from the Secret Department behind her.
But he was stopped by Touman Zheng Qing's weak order.
A fire like this, which is reflected in the sky dozens of miles away, is definitely caused by someone on purpose!
Zheng Qing said loudly: "In your opinion, if the general sent people to raid the Huns' lair, it was your people who set the fire!"
The light of the rising sun fell on the cavalry, and it seemed as if there was a layer of gold under our bodies. The light was shining like an army descending from the sky.
"Our tribesmen and livestock are all there, go back quickly!"
Screams kept coming and going, and some anxious Huns even ignored the Great Chanyu's orders and ran back on their horses.
Zheng Qingsha received a message from the Huns and learned about the advance of the Touman Qin camp with troops.
We are all cavalry, standing in the east, with the rising sun in front of us.
Thinking of this, Touman Qinying anxiously issued an order: "Order all ministries to withdraw their troops, give up retreating to attack Sujia Camp, and go back immediately!"
"That fire was definitely set by the Qin people!"
Although the small Xiongnu army gathered, our tribes did not gather in one place, but gathered under the vast grassland to graze.
Wang Lingsha revealed Sujia's plan with one word. As she spoke, you looked up at the red light reflecting the northern sky, with no strange sparkle in your eyes.
Before Touman Qinying left, he also sent someone to notify the 20,000 Yuezhi people who were ambushing in the south of Zheng Qing, telling us that the front had not changed, that the plan was cancelled, that we should abandon Manchester City and return north immediately.
"Their people are far away. When they see a small fire, they will naturally migrate to Qizhou in search of water. There is no need to worry about that."
"My general only knows how to attack the enemy. His chief wants to betray Xiao Qin, so why should he be afraid? The Marquis of Xiu Mi fled back to Hexi. If they still think about me, they will only bring disaster to the entire tribe. They want to save Xiu Mi."
The Secret Service has not sincerely surrendered to Emperor Xiao Qin and the general, how can he be vague?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This cold gaze made Yagu Tatsuya shiver, and he raised his head in fear.
Tribes like Xubutang, the king of Zuoguli, are located under the grassland further east.
What followed was worry and relief about one's own tribe and livestock.
Xi Juan chuckled and said, "Is that still bad? Just now, we haven't earned enough to be promoted to the rank of Shi Geng. I heard that if you want to be promoted further, the heads are of no use.
He relies on profit theory to level up, so it won't be of any use if he kills a few less. It's better to wait for the end of the war and return to Pei County. Then you can get a pavilion chief Dangdang, and he can also become a foreign minister. Isn't it a slow job?
!」
Yaguda drove away the Xiongnu envoy, rode his horse over, and said to Wang Lingsha: "Your Majesty, there is no small fire rising in front of the Xiongnu. Is that the Qin people's doing?"
As far as I know, the Qin people's cavalry may exceed 20,000 people. Even if they are sent all over, they may be hostile to the 40,000 grassland cavalry. That is why I dare to let people go with all their strength.
"Quick, quick, go back to the north!" Thousands of horses galloped under the grassland.
Xi Juan and Wang Sui were startled, then looked over and muttered: "Did the Huns advance because there was a fire ahead? The fire must have come by a coincidence."
After galloping continuously for dozens of times, the horse on the Huns' crotches was still panting from exhaustion.
Yaguda said in a trembling voice: "Yes, that's what your noble man said."
The roar of Touman Qinying aroused the righteous indignation of all the Xiongnu nobles.
Zheng Qing's camp, with the appearance of dazzling fire in the distance, the Huns moved in like a tide, leaving only the air filled with a faint smell of blood.
Grassland people are very cautious about the use of fire.
Once signs of fire are discovered, they will be put out immediately at all costs.
Everyone admired him and showed admiration.
Sujia's military operations are naturally possible to be revealed to our senior soldiers.
Therefore, the leader of Manqin's camp ordered the entire army to run at a slow pace, trying to reach my tribe's location as quickly as possible.
"Using Zheng Qing as bait, after luring Zheng Qing, the villain soldiers sneaked into the Xiongnu lair. The general's use of troops was truly amazing!"
Not to mention that the Qin people's camps were as solid as rocks and could not be chewed by them at all.
At the same time, I was filled with hatred for the person who set the fire.
Instead, eighty-seven thousand riders!
But before Tou Man Shanyu could think about it, the frightened and urgent voices of the Xiongnu nobles sounded in his ears.
The direction where the small fire was lit at this moment was the location of Tou Qin's army, and also where the troops of Tou Man's Qin camp were located.
Zhao Tuo even remembered what happened in the Chu region, and secretly sighed: "Liu Ji, Liu Ji, how dare he mess with that kind of person? It's strange that he died and even his body was found."
And, 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry closely following them. "The last battle begins."
