Since the 24th year of Emperor Qin Shihuang's 500,000 Huns' army was defeated by Meng Tian's 300,000 troops, the Huns completely lost control of the vast grassland north of Yinshan.
Not to mention the Hetao Plain, even Henan is not something that any Huns can approach at will.
The reason is that there is no such reason, because the scouts of the Jiuyuan Army in the Great Qin Jiuyuan Army who were countless times more ferocious than wolves.
At first, the Huns thought that even if they could not enter Henan, even if they lost the Hetao Plain, they would have to go to Henan, including the grasslands north of Yinshan, to plunder those small tribes that depended on the Qin Dynasty.
However, the scout of Jiuyuan Army told the Huns who thought they were ethnic groups on horseback. Even if they broke away from the Great Wall and the walls of the tall Jiuyuan City, they were not the Huns on the entire grassland.
The place to walk.
Countless Hun warriors died under the bronze sword of the scouts of the Jiuyuan Army, and their heads became the spoils of the Jiuyuan Army's scouts in exchange for military merits.
Today, Maodun, who came with a army of 500,000, was sent to Yuezhi as a proton, Maodun, who had already controlled the entire Hun tribe, and Maodun, who had become the hero of the Hun tribe, how could he forget
The threat of the Jiuyuan Army scout?
In addition to sending at least 10,000 teams to clear out the Jiuyuan Army scouts who were blocking the Xiongnu army's advance, Maodun also sent at least 50,000 elite Xiongnu cavalry with two thousand people as a team, cruising around the Huns' central army for more than ten
inside.
These 50,000 Hun cavalry were not Donghu cavalry, but the truly elite Huns who had gone through several wars.
A total of twenty-five teams of Hun cavalry wrapped the Maodun Central Army tightly in the middle and advanced as the Maodun Central Army moved.
Zhang Mu's team is now facing such an elite Xiongnu scout brigade.
Just now, their team of ten scouts saw two teams of Jiuyuan Army scouts walking in front of him. They were accidentally killed by two teams of Xiongnu cavalry who came to hear the news and crushed them with horse hooves.
Meat paste is integrated into the land of the prairie.
What Zhang Mu and others don’t know is that in the face of such strict protection from the Hun army, the dozens of scout teams that have not retreated to Jiuyuan County have been rushed from all directions after hearing the news.
The Hun cavalry was killed.
The vast grassland has no place to hide, and the only thing that can temporarily provide shelter is some small hills that are not too tall. But no one knows whether you will be on the back of the hill when you hide behind the hills.
A team of Hun cavalry came out.
Zhang Mu hesitated, he didn't know whether he should move forward.
If it was the same as last time, he gave up his war horse and approached the central army of the Huns by walking. It's not impossible. But now the Huns are less than fifty miles away from the Jiuyuan Army, and it is obvious that the Huns have not stopped camping because of darkness.
.
If he walked around the Huns' Central Army, he would not be able to get any useful news when it was dark. Even if he got the news, he would not be able to quickly pass the news to Jiuyuan City because he had no war horses.
This incident made him understand that the reason why he could easily get close to the camping place of the Huns' central army last time was obviously because Maodun's real purpose was not Jiuyuan City at all, but continued to move south.
If Maodun's central army last time was tightly escorted this time, he had no way to get close to him!
what to do!
Should I continue to wait for the opportunity or take a risky walk!
The roaring horse hooves were accompanied by the sharp whistling of an arrow that resounded through the prairie that was about to fall.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Zhang Mu and others were all shocked.
Obviously another team of Jiuyuan Army scouts was discovered by the cruising Xiongnu cavalry. The Huns' arrows were obviously calling the approaching Xiongnu cavalry to encircle and suppress the Jiuyuan Army scouts.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.
If you don't leave, you may be discovered by the Huns. If you are trapped in the siege of the Huns, you may not only not be able to rescue the surrounded brothers, but also not be able to obtain any useful information.
Under such strict defense of the Huns, Zhang Mu could foresee that many scouts had already died under the horse hooves of the Huns because they were caught off guard.
You must get information from the Hun army.
"Let's go!" Zhang Mu stared deeply at the roaring place of the horse's hooves, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Wu and others would not object to Zhang Mu's orders at all. They turned their horses in silence and rushed towards the periphery of the central Huns, leaving them for useful bodies, and it is even more important to figure out the strength of the Huns' army.
The night gradually enveloped the vast grassland.
The sound of horse hooves did not stop at all, and rushed towards the Great Wall outside Jiuyuan County. The shouts of killing around the central Xiongnu army gradually stopped, as if all the scouts of Jiuyuan Army had been killed by the Huns.
!
Countless Hun cavalry lit up, and the torches seemed to be comparing the countless stars in the sky.
On the entire prairie, countless torches formed waves of fire dragons crushing towards the Jiuyuan Great Wall.
Jiuyuan City!
"Your Majesty's edict is directing us to deal with the Hun army going south by ourselves. We must ensure the safety of the people of Jiuyuan and return all our troops to Jiuyuan City. Wait for the orders of General Meng Tian!"
Meng Hong almost jumped up the moment she saw the edict.
Although he had already guessed something before, it was just a guess after all. At this moment, he was really worried about the entire Jiuyuan Army or the upcoming hundreds of thousands of Huns.
Meng Tian, the undefeated war god.
Hearing the emperor's edict read by Meng Hong, the generals of the Jiuyuan Army all cheered.
The general Meng Tian, who had been thinking about day and night, finally came to command the Jiuyuan Army again. The Jiuyuan Army was the real Jiuyuan Army only under the leadership of General Meng Tian! The Jiuyuan Army without Meng Tian was always less
Some gods!
"Your Majesty is wise! Just now the scout came to report that the Huns had already arrived at the Great Wall outside the county. I believe that there was no defense in the fortress. Even if the Huns did not discover it tonight, then the Huns would inevitably break the Great Wall tomorrow.
You will inevitably find that there is no one in the Great Wall Castle. At that time, the Huns will inevitably drive straight into the mountains and loot!
The general obeyed the order and immediately dispatched all the prisoners who had reclaimed the land, the slaves, the people and soldiers who had not yet moved to Jiuyuan City, to move them to Jiuyuan City at a faster pace. Especially the tens of thousands of people in Linhe County, Li Gang, you
Lead the troops to assist the people in person! Hurry!
Your Majesty ordered us to lead the Huns to the vicinity of Jiuyuan City and to stay near Jiuyuan City. I think your Majesty and the General must have some plans! We must not let Your Majesty down! Long live the Qin Dynasty!"
Meng Hong seemed to have suddenly become more than ten years younger!
"Long live the Great Qin!"
Dozens of Jiuyuan Army generals in the lobby were already overjoyed when they heard that Meng Tian was going to come back to command the Jiuyuan Army, not to mention that a great war was about to happen. How could they be unhappy for more than ten years?
What's more, he was fighting with the Huns under the command of General Meng Tian!
...
The road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan!
During the Warring States Period, there was a passage in Guanzhong to go north to Shangjun, Yunzhong, and Jiuyuan. Su Qin said that Yan Wenhou once mentioned this old path, saying: "The Qin attacked Yan, and it went beyond Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, and it was a generation.
The county, the valley, and the land is thousands of miles." After King Wuling of Zhao, Hu clothing and cavalry, he led his army through Yunzhong, Jiuyuan went south to attack Qin State and failed, so he followed this old path. In fact, Guanzhong to Jiu
The original border area is not that the road is blocked, but that the road is difficult to walk: one is that it is often detoured around the mountains and waters, and the whole journey is too far away for thousands of miles; the other is that the mountain road is rugged and bumpy, and many sections are even intermittent, and cars and horses are walking very well.
It was difficult and dangerous, and it was impossible to ensure the continuous transportation of food, supplies. In the past, the Qin army in Jiuyuan prepared for the future, transported it in sections in advance, and stockpiled food, supplies, otherwise it would be impossible to deal with sudden needs.
Qin destroyed the six countries and fought fiercely for ten years, and Meng Tian's army could not escape south. The fundamental reason was that the situation in Jiuyuan was dangerous: the food, grass and supplies he had stored over the years were just a big battle. If he failed in a battle, he would not be able to attack again immediately.
Can retreat and defend.
Meng Tian's army could not let go of a fight, not because it was not because it was unable to solve the subsequent food and supplies for the second counterattack. If it did not have the ability to launch a second counterattack immediately after failure, it would be a big plan for the Qin army, and the Qin army would rather have a long-term relationship with the Huns.
Confrontation.
This is the Qin State strategy tempered in the great turmoil of the Warring States Period: although the military strength is strong, it still values strong enemies. If there is no more combat power and support to counterattack again after failure, it would rather maintain a confrontation. Such strategies are Changping
It is true of a great war, the war to destroy Chu, and the war to the Huns. Only in this way, many great wars in Qin, but almost no defeat in the war.
Tonight, the rumbling horse hooves roared again on Jiuyuan Chi Road, which had been silent for more than ten years!
The 75,000 Suzaku Army, equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, left Xianyang at afternoon under the leadership of General Wang Qian of Zhuque, and added rest time for horses in the middle. Now, it has been running for nearly four hours!
Wang Qian has received the edict issued by Hu Hai to Wang Qian. He knows the importance of his army to the entire Jiuyuan Battle of the Emperor, and also knows the importance of this battle to his Suzaku Army, which has been established less than a month ago.
significance!
This battle can only be won!
At the Bashang Camp, the almost rigorous training finally bears fruit at this moment! Hu Hai was obsessed with the horseshoes and other things that Shangfang had worked hard to create added wings to the Suzaku Army! The entire Suzaku Army is still in a strict formation without any confusion!
Except for the horses being a little tired, Wang Qian did not see any slack or complaining on the faces of any of the soldiers in the Vermillion Bird Army. Some of them were just strands of radiant eyes and the vigorous fighting spirit!
General Meng Tian left Xianyang on August 19th. At that time, Meng Tian had no idea that the Huns would go south in Jiuyuan, but even so, Wang Qian knew that Meng Tian would definitely rush to Jiuyuan with his heart and nature.
So, they are still quite a distance from Meng Tian!
Although the distance is not short, Wang Gan knew very well that he did not speed up a point, so the Jiuyuan Army would be safer.
Therefore, after ordering the army to rest for half an hour, Wang Gan gave the order, and all the 75,000 Suzaku army boarded the horse and galloped out again.
Meng Tian is right ahead!
