My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1142 It's just the master's task! It's very important for this Chanyu to have no Donghu!

May 28th, the 17th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

King Xi of Yan had no idea that he actually had a loyal minister who was planning to do something big for him.

King Xi of Yan just held the military newspaper in his hand with trembling fingers, and murmured bitterly:

"Millions of troops, reduced to ashes!"

"Six kings, all lost in one battle!"

"I knew the Qin army's strength and Qin Chang'an's bravery, but I never thought that we would suffer such a great defeat in this battle!"

King Xi of Yan had long anticipated that the coalition forces would be defeated in this battle.

But King Xi of Yan did not expect that the coalition forces would be defeated so badly and so quickly in this battle!

Even if there were more than a million pigs, they wouldn't be killed so quickly!
The coalition forces were defeated so quickly that the Qin army was able to turn its spearhead against the State of Yan, putting the rear of the State of Yan in jeopardy and shattering the overall plan of King Xi of Yan!

The hand holding the bamboo slips trembled even more, and the anger in his voice could not be concealed: "I never expected this!"

"I promoted the grandfather of the traitor Li Ke to be the prime minister of Great Yan. He led an army of 400,000 but was defeated by the 80,000 Zhao troops and died in battle."

"I did not blame him for his defeat. Instead, I promoted Li Ke's father to be a general of Great Yan. He led an army of 100,000 but was defeated by 30,000 Zhao troops and died in battle."

"I still do not blame him for his defeat. I am still willing to trust Li Ke and promote him to be the prime minister of Great Yan."

"As a result! This thief actually claimed that he was originally a marquis of Qin State, and being the prime minister of our Great Yan State was just a task for Qin State!"

"Thief! Thief! This thief has betrayed my trust! I wish I could kill all his clans and chop him into minced meat to feed the dogs!"

From Li Ke's perspective, three generations of Li Ke's family were loyal to King Xi of Yan, but his father and grandfather died because of King Xi's wrong strategies. Li Ke deeply hated King Xi of Yan for his incompetence, and felt despair about the future of King Xi and the State of Yan.

From the perspective of King Xi of Yan, he did not despise Li's father and grandfather because of their defeat and incompetence, but always made use of Li's children. Li Ke should be grateful to King Xi of Yan!

Prince Xi of Yan could not understand Li Ke's defection, and felt that his trust in him had been wasted. Now Prince Xi of Yan just wanted to feed all of Li's descendants to the dogs to vent his hatred!

The badger said gently, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"The thief Li Ke must be cursed by everyone in the world, and his life will be worse than death!"

"Fortunately, the king made a wise decision and only ordered the thief Li Ke to lead a small army. Even though the thief Li Ke betrayed the king, he did not cause too much loss to our Great Yan."

"I believe that the most important thing for now is to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible!"

"The coalition has been completely defeated, but Qin's invasion has not stopped at all. Next, it will definitely turn to attack our Great Yan."

"The territory south of the Great Wall may be difficult to defend."

"I advise the king to speed up the decisive battle, quickly expand the territory here and establish the foundation of the country before the rear is overwhelmed, and then rest and recuperate, and then slowly plan!"

Holding the rebels accountable and punishing them is a matter for after the war.

The most important thing now is to protect the country!
King Xi of Yan suppressed his anger and slowly raised his head to look forward.

To the northeast, hundreds of divine flags fluttered in the wind, thousands of tribal flags waved in the wind, and a huge divine flag stood proudly among the 200,000 Donghu people drawing bows, majestic and solemn.

In the northwest direction, a large number of generals' flags surrounded a large white banner, and 130,000 Hun soldiers attacked in all directions under the command of golden drums and trumpets.

In the south behind King Xi of Yan, there were more than 70,000 Yan soldiers lined up in neat battle array, surrounding King Xi's guard of honor and guarding the surroundings.

The Donghu had the strongest military force and were fighting on their own land, but they were all remnants of soldiers left behind and could not be considered elite troops.

The Xiongnu's troops were second in number, and they were all elite soldiers, led by a Chanyu, but they came from a long expedition and were unaware of the advantages of the terrain and the shortage of food and fodder.

The State of Yan had the best armor and the most food and fodder, but it had the fewest soldiers, and its morale was low due to repeated defeats in recent years.

The three armies each have their own strengths and weaknesses, forming a three-way confrontation. Each side does not want the other side to reap the benefits, and each side dares not put all their eggs in one basket. They can only be vigilant and alert, and test each other in this land of abundant water and grass.

King Xi of Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a deep voice: "We can't wait any longer!"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Left wing, beware of the Huns!"

"Order the right wing commander Yan An's troops to attack Donghu from the northeast!"

Yan Hu hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty! I am afraid that the Xiongnu will attack our flank when our army is victorious!"

King Xi of Yan spoke solemnly: "The Xiongnu royal court is more than 3,000 miles away from here. I think Touman is not determined to take the Donghu land."

"Send an envoy to tell Touman that if I lose, the Xiongnu will have to fight a great battle with the Donghu to gain the Donghu territory. If the Donghu lose, I am willing to share the Donghu territory with the Xiongnu!"

"War is nothing but for profit."

"Please think twice, Touman Chanyu, and join our army!"

After a pause, King Xi of Yan warned: "Tell the envoy to remember not to reveal the fact that the Qin army has sent heavy troops to attack the Xiongnu royal court, in order to prevent the Xiongnu Chanyu from leading his troops to escape or making a desperate attempt!" Yan Hu wanted to persuade him again, but the shadow of Jiang Qu appeared in front of Yan Hu's eyes.

Recalling the miserable appearance of Jiang Qu who had his ribs broken by King Yanxi's kick for advising King Yanxi, Yan Hu suppressed his remonstrance in his heart and bowed: "Yes!"

The drums sounded and the Yan army advanced.

In the Donghu army, the great shaman Ajiang Dabing was wearing a full set of sacrificial costumes, with a long-tailed forest owl on his head, and riding astride a horse. His wrinkled old face was covered by a golden mask, and only a pair of eyes that had seen thousands of battles were revealed, gazing at the Yan army from afar.

Patiently watching the march of Yan'an's army, Ajiang Dabing spoke in an old, hoarse and kind voice: "Big Danghu Guobule Mokun, lead the troops to disturb the enemy and avoid a fight."

Guobulemokun hit his heart with his right fist, pulled the reins, and shouted in a solemn voice: "My fellow tribesmen, kill the enemy!"

The wild boar totem was rustling, and more than 7,000 tribesmen followed closely behind Guobulemokun's war horse and galloped forward.

Yan An immediately ordered: "Form a battle array, hold crossbows!"

In the Wangshan Mountain, the Guobulemokun tribe roared and scattered, turning into scattered units one after another and rushing towards the Yan'an tribe in all directions, relying on the speed of their war horses to gallop around.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a hundred Hu cavalry finally left the battle formation and charged forward from the southeast direction of Yan'an.

Yan An immediately ordered: "Team C, shoot!"

A round of crossbow arrows shot out, knocking more than 20 Hu cavalry off their horses. At the same time, another hundred Hu cavalry accelerated and charged from the northeast. Taking advantage of Yan An's unpreparedness, they suddenly shot a round of arrows, taking the lives of four Yan soldiers.

Ajiang Dabing chanted prayers softly, guiding his dead tribesmen towards the direction of Eternal Heaven, and his gaze towards the battlefield was calm.

Ajiang Dabing did not seek victory, but only wanted to delay time with the least casualties possible and wait for the return of the main force of Donghu.

But King Xi of Yan knew very well that the main force of Donghu would not come back, and only the main force of the Qin army would trample on the State of Yan!
Therefore, King Xi of Yan did not dare to rush for victory or delay, and had to give another order: "Order! Yan Ping's chariots turn to the northeast, and advance alternately with Yan An's troops to force the enemy!"

Yan Ping immediately shouted: "Chariots, listen to my orders! Charge the enemy!"

At the command, twenty chariots pulled by eighty horses rushed towards the Guobulemokun tribe. Guobulemokun shouted without hesitation: "Keep your distance, avoid the enemy chariots, and shoot the enemy behind the chariots!"

Twenty chariots landed on the battlefield, which to a certain extent made up for the mobility gap between the Yan army and the Donghu army. The Yan'an and Yanping units were able to advance in rotation, gradually narrowing the distance between them and the main force of the Donghu.

Ajiang Dabing's eyes remained calm, and he did not dispatch any troops. He just let Guobulemokun's troops continue to harass the Yan army's front line and pull the Yan army's phalanx.

When the Yan'an tribe was only 500 feet away from the main force of the Donghu, Ajiang Dabing suddenly said, "Grand Danghu Sa'ejin, lead the Shilu tribe to charge!"

Sa'ejin nodded, put on his roe deer horn hat, and ordered in a deep voice: "My fellow tribesmen, kill!"

"Yo~~Yo~"

The clear sounds of deer calls rose one after another. Eight thousand adult male reindeer, about five feet (1 meters) tall and weighing more than three hundred kilograms, stretched out their four hooves, carrying eight thousand Hu cavalry and charging forward.

The distance of five hundred feet passed in a flash. Sa'ejin shouted angrily: "Submit!"

"charge!"

The hundreds of reindeer in the front row lowered their heads, and the four-foot (0.92-meter) antlers on their heads were aimed at the front-row spearmen of Yan'an's army!
"Yo~~~"

The reindeer's neighing sounded less ethereal and more fierce. It paid no attention to the gun tip in front of it and charged forward with the most resolute attitude!
"Hold the gun!"

"Stab the deer! Stab the deer! Don't pay any attention to the thief on the deer!"

"Shield soldiers, move forward and resist with shields!"

Compared to war horses, reindeer are shorter in height, making them less suitable for cavalry charges. The antlers on their heads make it difficult for them to form dense formations. They also have a lower load capacity and can only carry a short and thin unarmored knight, making them not the first choice for cavalry.

But when a group of reindeer with long and thick antlers charge at you, who can not panic? Who can not be afraid?
As soon as the contact was made, chaos began to break out on the front line of Yan'an's army.

As the second and third rows of Deer Knights charged bravely, more than 700 Deer Knights tore open the defense line of Yan'an Tribe with their blood!
Sa'ejin roared, "Enter the enemy camp and kill them!"

"Yo~~~"

The reindeer let out a clear cry, carrying the knights on their backs as they rushed into Yan'an's formation through the gap in the defense line.

Knights were fighting with swords above and reindeer were charging with their horns below. In just a moment, the Yan'an tribe was in chaos!
Seeing this scene from afar, Touman Chanyu frowned slightly: "The main force of Tunguska is trapped, but the remaining Tunguska soldiers are still so brave."

"He is indeed the great enemy of our Hu Kingdom!"

"Send the order!"

"The Chenggele tribe of 10,000 cavalrymen marched eastward, harassing the Tungus Shilu tribe with arrows and lifting the siege of the Yan army."

"The 10,000-cavalry leader Lakshan will cruise northwards and find an opportunity to test the main force of Tunguska and tie up Tunguska's forces!"

Touman Chanyu did not comment on King Xi of Yan's proposal.

Touman Chanyu would not give up any opportunity to attack the Donghu, but he would not help the Yan State seize the Donghu's land, so as to prevent the Yan State from becoming the new Donghu.

Whether or not the Donghu land could be captured was not important to Touman Chanyu.

But, the absence of Donghu is very important to Touman Chanyu!
