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

Chapter 1155 Good boy, wait here! Maodun’s family relationship is not harmonious!
Hearing the report from Meng Tian's troops, Yang Qiu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha~ Nephew Meng is eager to see us defeat the Yan army and capture the King of Yan!"

Yang Qiu was so proud that he even wanted to take Prince Xi of Yan to visit Meng Tian.

Have you ever seen a captured enemy king?

I will personally go and catch it!
Do you have this credit? You don't~~~
Li Xin said quietly, "Captain Meng is the grandson of General Ao and the son of General Wu. Naturally, he hopes to continue the achievements of his father and grandfather."

"But Captain Meng is already a captain at such a young age. He really shouldn't try to attack a hundred thousand with only ten thousand men just for the sake of military merit. This is really dangerous!"

Yang Qiu suddenly stopped laughing.

In terms of age, Yang Qiu and Meng Ao are not much different and can be considered to be of the same generation.

In terms of seniority, Yang Qiu is the son of Yang Duanhe, so he is of the same generation as Meng Wu.

As a result, Yang Qiu has now fallen to the point of competing with Meng Tianxiu for the reward.

So embarrassing!

Yang Qi bowed his hands loudly and said solemnly: "Commander! Commander Meng Tian is young and unstable. He is impatient and takes risks. I am afraid he will suffer a defeat."

"I will lead my troops as the vanguard to retrieve the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu!"

Seeing that Yang Qiu had indeed been urged by him to fight, Li Xin immediately bowed and said, "Commander-in-chief! I am good at pursuit, and the current battle is a pursuit battle. I will be the vanguard and will annihilate all the Xiongnu thieves!"

Although the Qin army had just defeated the Yan army and captured the King of Yan, the Qin soldiers were not immersed in the joy of victory.

The young soldiers were eager to achieve more and greater feats.

The young soldiers fantasized about the bright future that Ying Chengjiao had described for them, and couldn't wait to make it a reality.

At once, all the generals of the Qin army asked for battle!
Seeing this, Ying Chengjiao asked with a smile: "Do all of you want to chase the Donghu and defeat them?"

All the generals bowed their hands and said, "I am willing to be the vanguard!"

Killing the Donghu is killing, and killing the Xiongnu is also killing.

But the Donghu had already fled, while the Xiongnu had only fled for a short time, and Meng Tian was still nipping at the Xiongnu's tail, so it was obvious that the Xiongnu were easier to kill.

Maybe after killing the Huns, they can even go to the Donghu battlefield to have some soup!
Ying Chengjiao nodded in understanding: "In that case, all of you comrades should follow me to the northwest to hunt down the Xiongnu!"

Qin army generals: ???
Li Xin frowned slightly and said, "The commander wants to order our entire army to move to the northwest?"

"The commander is not planning to let the Dong Hu escape!"

Ying Chengjiao shook his head: "I will certainly not let the Donghu escape and leave trouble for the future."

Li Xin said in a serious tone: "Since this is the case, I think it is unwise to send more than 500,000 troops to chase the Xiongnu."

"The Xiongnu are good at running and are quite fast. If our entire army chases them, our infantry will not be able to keep up with them. Instead, they will become a burden to our army and allow the Donghu to escape easily, becoming a threat to our Great Qin."

"I think the best tactic is for the commander-in-chief to lead the troops northwards, continue chasing the remaining Donghu soldiers, and take all of Donghu's land!"

"I will lead my troops to pursue them, and cooperate with Captain Meng's troops to defeat them!"

The Qin army generals were nodding their heads as they listened, but when they heard Li Xin's last words, they all looked sideways at Li Mu, their eyes full of contempt and anger.

Good boy, just wait here!
Before the generals could ask for another fight, Ying Chengjiao said with a smile: "The whole army chasing after the Xiongnu is also a strategy to defeat the Donghu!"

The generals looked puzzled.

How can having the entire army chase after the Huns be considered a strategy to defeat the Donghu?
But when they thought about the first reactions of the Xiongnu and Donghu to the Qin army's attack, and Ying Chengjiao's troop deployment in the entire northern battlefield, several generals suddenly had an idea.

Li Xin blurted out: "This battle is different from any other battle our army has ever fought."

"The difficulty of this battle is not in defeating the enemy, but in destroying the enemy!"

"Now the Donghu and Xiongnu have all seen our Qin army and are fleeing. It is difficult for our army to surround and intercept them at once. If we only use cavalry to chase them, we will definitely miss some opportunities."

"Therefore, the commander-in-chief wants to mobilize all his troops to chase after the Xiongnu, and put all the pressure brought by our army on the Xiongnu, forcing the Xiongnu to flee in the direction our army wants."

"At the same time, let the Donghu mistakenly believe that our army is here only to destroy Yan and Xiongnu, so that the Donghu will relax their vigilance, slow down their escape speed, or even return to the difficult waters!"

Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly: "Even if it doesn't hit the target, it's not far off!"

The fighting opportunity was fleeting, and Ying Chengjiao did not give any further explanation. Instead, he spoke in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"

"Order Lieutenant Yang Qiu and Lieutenant Xin Sheng to lead their troops to go out immediately to pursue the Xiongnu troops in the west and north, and order Lieutenant Meng Tian to continue pursuing the Xiongnu troops in the northwest."

"The three armies must follow the Xiongnu closely and keep the pressure on them. If the Xiongnu stay in one place for a long time, you can send a small group of soldiers to harass and force them. If the Xiongnu counterattack, you should lead the troops to retreat. If the Xiongnu continues to divide their troops, you should immediately report to the central army and request reinforcements. It is strictly forbidden to take the initiative to start a decisive battle!" "Send a message to Captain Peng Yue, no need to continue sneaking, complete the planned encirclement at full speed, and continue to extend it westward after the encirclement is formed! At the same time, send a small group of soldiers with our Great Qin army flag out of the Xia Si A Lin Mountains, so that the Donghu tribe can see that our Great Qin flag is flying in Xia Si A Lin!"

"The whole army will rest, cook at sunrise (5:00), move camp at mealtime (7:00), and move to the northwest quickly. No soldier will be left near the Nanshui River!"

After hearing Ying Chengjiao's order, all the Qin army generals understood Ying Chengjiao's next strategy. Their eyes were full of excitement. They all bowed and shouted excitedly: "Yes!"
-
June 8, the seventeenth year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

At the first moment of dawn (3:15), the morning sun had already jumped out of the horizon, casting its brilliant sunshine on the grassland.

"Xu?"

The warhorse under Touman Chanyu looked up at the sun in the sky in disbelief, then looked back at Touman Chanyu on the horse, his huge eyes filled with shock.

When I started running, the sun was hanging in the sky.

Now the sun has gone up into the sky again, and you still want me to run, not even letting me stop for a moment?
I'm just a horse, not a worker!
"Xu~~~"

The warhorse raised its head and let out a mournful cry. After staggering a few steps, it began to slow down.

Touman Chanyu squeezed his horse's belly and shouted angrily: "Gee! Gee! Run for me!"

But no matter how much Touman Chanyu urged him, the warhorse under him continued to slow down by shaking its big head.

Not far behind Touman Chanyu, the Xiongnu Crown Prince Maodun accompanied him and carefully advised: "Echige (Father)! The horses of our tribesmen are almost at their limit! Our tribesmen are also almost at their limit!"

"Shall we take a break first?"

The chest of the warhorse under Crown Prince Maodun's crotch was heaving wildly like a bellows, and a layer of sticky, wet sweat appeared on his body. Even if Maodun clamped his legs together, it was difficult to hold the horse's slippery belly. He had to use one arm to hold the horse's neck to prevent himself from falling off the horse's back.

But doing so made the already tired warhorses even more uncomfortable.

Maodun's warhorse is not as smart as Touman's warhorse, and it is not a leading horse, so it will not stop on its own. If Touman Chanyu does not order the army to rest, Maodun's warhorse will definitely run its lungs to pieces and kill itself!
At that time, all that awaits Maodun is death!
Touman Chanyu angrily rebuked him: "Although you are my son, you should also call me Chanyu!"

"You are just a child, how can you understand the war?"

"Is it because I don't want to let my people rest? It's because the pursuers behind me are relentless, forcing me to lead my troops to rush!"

"You advised our army to rest. If the Qin army attacks, can you help our army resist the Qin army's pursuit?!"

Maodun was Touman's eldest son and also the crown prince of the Xiongnu, but Touman did not like Maodun.

This has nothing to do with the fact that Touman had no feelings for Maodun's biological mother, nor does it have anything to do with the fact that Touman and Maodun's biological mother were just in a political marriage, and it has nothing to do with the fact that Touman was not the first man of Maodun's biological mother.

Because all this is normal on the grassland, and even very common in the State of Chu.

The key issue is that Touman was not the first man born to Maodun’s mother, and Maodun was born too early!
Only ten months had passed since Maodun's biological mother first entered Touman's tent, and Maodun was born!
Touman Chanyu rationally believed that Maodun should be his son, and the Xiongnu great shaman also confirmed that Maodun was Touman's son, after all, the timing should match.

But Touman Chanyu felt that Maodun was not his son, and there were also rumors among the Xiongnu people claiming that Maodun was not his son. After all, the timing just barely matched.

This made Touman feel like he had eaten a piece of chocolate with a fly in it when facing Maodun, feeling both happy and disgusted.

Due to the tribal power of Maodun's biological mother, Touman had to make Maodun the crown prince. But how could Touman Chanyu have any fatherly love for Maodun when he was still hesitant?
Touman Chanyu has many sons, and there is no shortage of a son with an unknown identity!

Anger welled up in Maodun's eyes uncontrollably, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide his gaze, giving people the illusion that he was aggrieved.

Seeing this, the leader of the 10,000 Cavalry, Baoler, sighed inwardly, rode forward and punched his heart with his right fist, saying, "Chanyu, seventy miles to the northwest is where the Yalu River flows into Jin'alin."

"There are already horses in our army that have died from running too fast, and more than a hundred tribesmen have fallen off their horses due to exhaustion. Judging from the current physical strength of our horses and tribesmen, if our army continues to run for another 70 miles, at least 5,000 tribesmen will be left behind."

"I think it would be better for our army to rest here first, and then head straight to the Yalu River and enter Jin'alin along the Yalu River."

"With the mountains and forests covering us, it will be difficult for the Qin army to find us."

"With the river beside us, it will be difficult for the Qin army to set fire to us."

"Then our army will be able to rest for half a day, and then continue to march to the royal court as Chanyu said!"

The physical strength of war horses and soldiers has reached its limit, which is a real problem.

Baoler's advice was not just Baoler's personal opinion, but also the common voice of the generals and soldiers of all the Hun tribes.

Touman Chanyu looked back at the horses panting wildly and the exhausted knights behind him, nodded and said, "This advice makes sense."

"Pass on this Chanyu's order, all troops dismount and rest on the spot!"

Maodun: ???
