wIf it weren’t for the war horses contributed by the Huns, Wang Qian’s 20,000 Suzaku army, which had penetrated less than a hundred miles away from Yunzhong City, the capital of Yunzhong County, would never have been able to approach Meng Tian’s army so quickly.
But even so, when Wang Qian discovered the three pillars of fire, he was still more than 150 miles away from Meng Tian's army. If he really wanted to meet up with Meng Tian, it would probably take at least two hours.
The pillar of fire that lights up in the east is also nearly a hundred miles away from Wangqian. But don't forget, after seeing this pillar of fire, the Huns will definitely speed up and flee, otherwise they won't even send troops to chase and bite them. Behind them was the thousand-man squad of the Jiuyuan Army, which was like maggots attached to their bones.
Wang Qian's 20,000 Suzaku troops were quickly running towards the east road closest to him, while the Huns were running desperately towards Wang Qian. One was coming, the other was fleeing.
The lighting up of three pillars of fire announced that the Huns were officially found by the Qin army. Although the three groups of Huns cavalry were exhausted, they were still beating their horses desperately. The farther they ran, the harder it was for the Qin people to catch up. Easy. Although there are always more than ten Qin scout teams following behind, the further you run, the safer the great Maodun Shanyu will be.
It goes without saying that the Hun cavalry who can be selected by Mao Dun to follow him in the southward army will be the elite who have been with Mao Dun for many years. Although these people may not be as good as the elite of the Jiuyuan Army, let alone the Suzaku Army, but There is no doubt about the loyalty of these 200,000 Huns cavalry to Maodun.
The Donghu people betrayed before the battle, putting the great Maodun Shanyu in danger. All the Huns cavalry wanted to rip out Mohuer's tendons, drink his blood, and eat his flesh alive. Of course, as long as they could capture Mohuer words.
The driving force that supported these Huns cavalry in fleeing despite their numb legs. In addition to attracting the Qin people to allow the great Maodun Chanyu to return to the prairie, there were also the hundreds of thousands of Donghu people who were The old, weak, women and children were imprisoned around Langjuxu Mountain.
There is no doubt about what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of Donghu people imprisoned around Langjuxu Mountain once these Huns barbarians, who have been incited by Maodun to arouse hatred, return to Langjuxu Mountain.
In fact, Maodun did not know that Mohuer chose to join the Qin Dynasty. He only knew one thing, that is, Mohuer betrayed the great Shanyu Modu and betrayed the heroic Huns warriors.
Mohu'er's reason for letting the Longxi army enter the battlefield was very clear to Mao Dun. He wanted to consume the last batch of young men of the Donghu people, so that both the Donghu people and the Qin people would suffer in the fight, and the Huns would benefit. Hu'er obviously had the same idea as him. He let the Qin reinforcements come in just because he wanted the Xiongnu and the Qin people to kill both sides. The Donghu people would be able to stand up one day.
It was enough for Maodun to know this. Since Mohuer dared to let the Qin people in in front of him, he was obviously ready to break with him, and was even ready to give up the Langjuxu Mountain. The plan of hundreds of thousands of Donghu old and weak women and children around.
After all, Jiuyuan is the territory of the Qin people, and the Qin people's reinforcements must be endless. If we add the more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry who have completely broken with the Huns, and once these Donghu cavalry do not fight the Qin people, in other words, or It is said that the Donghu people have taken refuge with the Qin people. This is what Mao Dun is most worried about. Mao Dun is very clear about the outcome if he continues to stay.
Therefore, Modu simply chose to leave.
He knew that after what happened to the Donghu people, his idea of going south to recapture the Hetao Plain and completely consume the 300,000 Donghu cavalry in this battle was completely shattered.
Mao Dun is a hero. Since there is nothing he can do, he immediately figures out the best way to deal with it.
Escape from Qin territory! Return to the prairie!
As long as he can successfully return to the prairie, even if the Xiongnu completely loses the 200,000 troops heading south, there will still be 300,000 string control men in Langjuxu Mountain. It will mainly take a few years to wait for a new group of warriors.
When they grow up, the Xiongnu still have a chance to recapture the Hetao Plain captured by the Qin people. Even if they cannot recapture the Hetao Plain, after driving away the Yuezhi and destroying the two old enemies of the East and Hu, the Xiongnu are still the overlords of the prairie.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he can leave Jiuyuan County of Qin alive and return to the grassland alive.
The strategy of dividing the troops was proposed by Maodun. Of course, he did not say it himself. How could such a strategy that undermined his prestige come from the mouth of his great Maodun Chanyu by sacrificing the Hun warriors in this way?
.
Xubu Baye died, and Maodun Huoxian promoted the son of the head of the Lan clan as his new captain of the bodyguard. Then through his mouth, a group of Xiongnu nobles and generals including Dadanghu who followed him southward appeared in front of ten
In front of the remaining 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry, they knelt on the ground and begged the great Maodun Chanyu to divide his troops.
Except for the ordinary Huns who worshiped Mao Dun, who among the Hun nobles who had seized high positions were willing to die for Mao Dun? But their arms could not twist his thighs. They had no choice but to do as they were told.
Under the leadership of these nobles, and at the kowtow request of more than 100,000 heroic Hun warriors, Mao Dun divided the remaining 140,000 Hun cavalry who followed him into three groups.
There were 50,000 people on both the east and west routes, and the troops were divided into two major commanders: the left and right. However, Mao Dun led 40,000 Xiongnu elites alone to continue northward. The smaller the number of troops, the faster they can move, and the possibility of being overtaken by the Qin people.
The smaller.
Moton knew this, but the ordinary Huns did not. They only knew that even if the great Moton Chanyu divided his troops, he was still thinking about them, and he only brought 40,000 people northward.
The morale of the Huns cavalry suddenly increased greatly.
The great Maodun Chanyu could risk his own life for them, so what else do they have to fear?
…
On the vast plain, in the dark night sky, six huge fire dragons were chasing each other on the grassland. The distance between them was shortening little by little.
The thin moon like a woman's willow eyebrows in the sky seems to know what is going to happen next, and seems to be afraid of seeing the blood that is about to spread all over the prairie. It summons a thin dark cloud and buries her whole body behind the cloud.
, disappearing and appearing, secretly looking at the land with the roar of horse hooves.
The first to join the battle were Wang Qian's 20,000 Suzaku troops who came from Yunzhong County and the Huns cavalry who fled towards the east.
Whether it was Wang Qian or the 50,000 Huns cavalry who fled knowing that they had been discovered, no one knew who the other party was when they suddenly discovered the endless stream of torches in the distance.
Because Wang Qian came from the direction of Yunzhong County, and the Qin people would obviously only appear behind him. So, would this seemingly 20,000 cavalry coming from the direction of Yunzhong kill the great Xiongnu Chanyu?
Where are our own people who were sent into Yunzhong County by the Qin people to plunder yesterday?
After thinking about this, all the Huns cavalry, including Zuo Dadanghu, the Huns who led the East Route Army to flee, were also very happy. At this time, everyone knew that when the troops were divided into three groups, once they were caught up by the Qin people, the people around them would The more troops you have, the greater your chances of escaping.
The extremely excited Hun cavalry, which had already reached the limit of speed, became three points faster again under the influence of this excitement. Even if some people kept falling off their horses because their horses lost their front feet, and they did not know whether they would live or die, no one was worried or feeling sorry for themselves anymore.
None of this is important anymore. What is important is that reinforcements will soon join them. Their chance of survival will be greater.
Wang Qian also didn't know whether it was the Qin army or the Huns who turned around and rushed toward his side when they saw his army. Because both were possible.
It is precisely because the Suzaku Army knows that there is a possibility of encountering their own people and the possibility of hitting the Huns, so when they see this cavalry rushing towards them desperately, they all have a feeling in their hearts. careful.
No matter who they are, they have traveled all the way to this point and finally found an organization.
If you are one of your own people, it is better if you are not one of your own people. If you are not one of your own people, it means military merit! Military merit means knighthood, it means medals, it means the summons of His Majesty the Emperor.
The speed of the Suzaku Army suddenly accelerated!
When the distance between the two armies was one mile, the two armies were still approaching quickly like arrows. The dark night gave both sides the greatest cover, not only blocking their own sight, but also blocking the other's sight. Even with torches , the same is true.
At five hundred steps, the Suzaku soldiers were the first to notice something was wrong.
The attire of the Xiongnu barbarians was too strange or too conspicuous. The sheepskin waistcoat was also extremely conspicuous in the dark night, let alone when there was a torch shining on it.
He discovered that they were Xiongnu barbarians. Five hundred steps away, two armies were also running desperately. Amidst the thunderous roar of horse hooves, it was still in the dark. Wang Qian had no time to issue any orders, and he could not issue any orders.
At this moment, there is only one word: rush, rush over, and pierce through the Huns' cavalry formation!
At a distance of three hundred steps, the Huns cavalry finally realized that something was wrong, because the cavalry running quickly on the opposite side still had no intention of stopping at this distance, and they were always shrouded in darkness, even under the light of torches. Only a dark patch could be seen.
A dark patch?
"It's the Qin people!" Zuo Danghu suddenly seemed to remember something and let out a desperate howl at the top of his lungs.
Amidst the thunderous roar of horse hooves, this shrill howl was like a little wave in the sea, without causing any waves. Even the people around him did not hear clearly what Zuo Danghu was shouting, and were just wondering. Why did Mr. Zuo Danghu, who was extremely happy, suddenly look like he had seen a ghost and look frightened?
At two hundred steps, the Hun cavalry at the front finally realized something was wrong. Black, isn't that the color of Qin people's armor?
It's already too late!
The battle breaks out without warning!
The familiar and terrifying buzzing sound sounded like a soul-stirring sound in the ears of all the Xiongnu barbarians who discovered that the Qin cavalry was coming. Under the flickering torches, the dense black crossbow arrows shone with a chilling chill. The awn suddenly appeared above the heads of the Hun cavalry like a ghost, and with a sharp whistling sound, it pounced down. (To be continued)m
