Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 349: The Immortal of War's first battle! The Hun army was ambushed again!
"When I come to the border to serve as the commander, there will definitely be some soldiers who will doubt my military ability."

"I want to take advantage of the situation and select a few trustworthy lieutenants."

"Since these lieutenants do not obey my military orders, I will enforce military law and punish them with caning."

"Let these lieutenants spread their dissatisfaction with me in the city."

"Once this news reaches the ears of the Xiongnu Chanyu, he will know that civil unrest has occurred on the border."

"The border commander is a young man with no military experience, and civil unrest has broken out."

"This is great news for the Xiongnu Chanyu."

"I believe that the Xiongnu Chanyu will put aside his doubts and lead his army to attack the city."

"At that time, General Wang Ben, you will lead your soldiers to ambush on both sides outside the city."

"When the Xiongnu army arrived at the city, the ambushing armies on both sides appeared and attacked the enemy."

"This will cause the Xiongnu Chanyu to suffer another great defeat, and the army he brought with him will suffer heavy losses."

"Generals, what do you think of this idea?"

Han Xin looked at Meng Tian and Wang Ben with a smile on his face.

Wang Ben and Meng Tian were stunned for a moment when they heard Han Xin's words, and it took them a while to react.

"General Han Xin, your idea is excellent."

"The deputy commander of the border is dissatisfied with the commander. If the Xiongnu Chanyu knows this news, he will definitely guess that civil unrest is about to break out on the border."

"The Xiongnu Chanyu will definitely not miss this opportunity."

Meng Tian said this with excitement on his face.

Wang Ben nodded slightly when he heard Meng Tian's words. He now understood that the trap Han Xin had just described was more real.

"General Han Xin, rest assured. I will personally lead the army to ambush on both sides."

"As long as the Xiongnu army appears, they will definitely not return."

As Wang Ben spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, he has not been on the battlefield to kill enemies for a long time.

Now that he can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy again, Wang Ben feels his blood boiling.

When Han Xin saw that Wang Ben and Meng Tian agreed to his plan, he felt relieved.

He was just worried that these two people would not agree with his proposal.

"In order to prevent the Xiongnu Chanyu from seeing through my plan, I must be careful in selecting my deputy generals."

"Besides the three of us, only a few deputy generals who participated in the plan know about this plan."

"Other lieutenants and soldiers don't need to reveal this plan."

"Only with the true reactions of the soldiers and other deputy generals can the Xiongnu Chanyu believe that there is a discord between the main general and the deputy generals at the border."

Han Xin looked at Meng Tian and Wang Ben and gave them instructions.

"General Han Xin, rest assured. The lieutenants we brought this time are all experienced and resourceful."

"There will be no problem in completing General Han Xin's plan."

Wang Ben looked at Han Xin and told him about the deputy general's situation.

"It's a pity that I can't participate in this war."

"I must take the soldiers home and leave the border, otherwise the Xiongnu leader will not lead the army to attack."

As Meng Tian spoke, there was a hint of regret on his face.

He knew very well that only if he left the Xiongnu Chanyu would he believe that the commander-in-chief at the border had been replaced by a young man.

Wang Ben nodded when he heard Meng Tian's words. He understood the meaning of what Meng Tian had just said.

"General, there is no need to feel sorry. When you return to Xianyang City, we will wait for the report of a great victory."

Han Xin looked at Meng Tian with a smile on his face.

"Then I will wait for the good news from the border."

As Meng Tian spoke, there was a hint of a smile on his face.

Outside the border, the Hun military camp.

In the largest general's tent, Chanyu Touman sat on a couch covered with animal skins with a gloomy expression.

In the general's tent, there stood several young men wearing animal skins and with young faces.

These young men are military generals newly promoted by Touman.

The last time there was an ambush at the border, almost all of his generals were wiped out.

Touman returned to the military camp and had to select new generals from the army.

Looking at the young generals, Touman sighed in his heart.

These young generals could not compare with the generals before him, either in leading troops in battle or in martial arts.

When Tou Man thought of this, he became very angry. He did not expect that he would be defeated twice by the main general of the Qin Dynasty at the border.

What made him even more angry was that the two defeats caused his prestige among the Xiongnu to decline.

Now many Hun soldiers no longer look at him with the same respect as before.

Touman was very angry when he saw this scene, but he had no better solution.

"Damn Meng Tian, ​​I must avenge this vengeance."

Touman cursed Meng Tian harshly in his heart.

As an enemy, Touman naturally knew the name of the border commander.

He knows something about what happens on the border.

"Report!"

"Report to Chanyu, news has come from the border."

A Xiongnu soldier hurried into the general's tent, holding a piece of animal skin in his hand.

Touman took the animal skin and looked at the contents on it with trembling hands and excitement on his face.

Several young generals standing in the general's tent looked at each other.

It was the first time they saw the Chanyu so excited since they were promoted to military generals.

"Respected Chanyu, what news did the border send back this time?"

A young general looked at Chanyu Tuoman and asked the first question.

He is the only one among these young generals who is related to Touman.

When talking to Touman, he was more casual than the other generals.

"News came from the border that the emperor of Great Qin ordered Meng Tian to return to Xianyang City."

Touman looked at the generals in the tent and told them the news on the animal skin.

When several generals heard Touman's words, they were surprised.

They still knew the name of Meng Tian. The two major defeats of the Chanyu were due to this Meng Tian.

This name has become a nightmare for many Huns.

Now Meng Tian is leaving the border, which is good news for them.

"Meng Tian has returned to Xianyang City, and the border needs a new commander."

"Respected Chanyu, is there a new commander's name in the intelligence sent back?"

The general who was a relative of Touman Chanyu looked at Touman and asked again.

Touman, who had a smile on his face, continued after hearing the question from his generals:

"The new commander who will replace Meng Tian is called Han Xin, and this Han Xin has no military experience."

"It's strange that the emperor of the Qin Dynasty would appoint a man with no military experience as the commander-in-chief."

Touman said this with a hint of doubt on his face.

In Touman's opinion, the position of commander-in-chief was so important that he didn't understand why the emperor of Qin would send someone with no military experience to take the position.

Several deputy generals looked at each other, and they couldn't figure it out either.

"Respected Chanyu, the reason why the Emperor of Great Qin sent Han Xin to replace Meng Tian."

"I guess he thought that the Chanyu had suffered two major defeats and was no longer able to attack the border."

"In this way, the position of the border commander is no longer important."

"This is the only explanation that can explain why the Emperor of Qin asked Han Xin to replace Meng Tian."

The general who was related to Touman expressed his thoughts.

When Touman heard the general's words, his face turned gloomy. He felt that the general was right.

"Snapped!"

"The hateful Emperor of Great Qin actually despises me so much."

Touman slammed the table in front of him hard, with an angry look on his face.

To him, this was a disgrace.

"Respected Chanyu, Meng Tian is no longer the commander of the border. We have replaced him with someone who has no battlefield experience."

"This is an opportunity for Shanyu to take revenge."

A military commander with braids expressed his thoughts with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Keep talking!"

Touman looked at the general, a gleam in his eyes. "If Meng Tian was still the commander of the border, the Chanyu would not be able to lead the army to attack."

"The current border commander is Han Xin, who has no battlefield experience."

"If the Chanyu leads a large army to attack the border, Han Xin will certainly be in a panic."

"The commander will panic and give random orders, and then the Chanyu will be able to lead his army to attack the cities on the border of Daqin."

"Once we capture the border city, we can not only enter the Qin territory directly, but also avenge our two defeats."

The general with braids expressed his thoughts.

When Touman heard the general's words, his eyes lit up.

Meng Tian is no longer at the border, so this is indeed a good opportunity for revenge.

"Well said. This is indeed a good opportunity for me to take revenge."

Touman said this with a smile on his face.

"Respected Chanyu, please calm down."

"I think there might be something wrong here. The last time the Chanyu was defeated, he fell into an enemy trap."

"It's very likely that this time it's still a trap set by the enemy."

A general who was a relative of Touman tried to dissuade him.

After hearing the general's words, Touman calmed down. What the general said made sense.

The last time he stepped into the enemy's trap.

Touman continued to look at the animal skin in his hand, and soon a smile appeared on Touman's face again.

"Meng Tian left the border and headed for Xianyang City."

"There was a conflict between the new commander Han Xin and several of his deputy commanders."

"Several deputy generals disobeyed Han Xin's military orders and were caned by Han Xin."

"This news has spread throughout the border cities, and many soldiers are discussing it."

"There has been civil unrest at the border. This is definitely not a trap. This is my chance."

Touman said this with excitement on his face.

Several generals were also very excited when they heard Touman's words.

There was civil strife among the soldiers on the border of the Qin Dynasty, which was an opportunity for them.

The general who was related to Touman quickly relaxed his frown.

Touman’s words just now dispelled his doubts.

He didn't believe that the border commander could set a trap under such circumstances.

"Send the order, assemble the army!"

"I will personally lead the army to attack the border cities of Qin to avenge myself!"

"Respect!"

Several generals in the tent also showed excitement on their faces when they heard Touman's words.

This was their first battle after being promoted to military generals, and they would gain military merit if they won this battle.

On the city wall of the Qin border city, Han Xin stood with a calm expression.

When he stood in front of some soldiers twice, the expressions of these soldiers became complicated when they looked at Han Xin.

After the former commander-in-chief Meng Tian left the border, conflicts arose between the new commander-in-chief Han Xin and several deputy commanders.

Han Xin sent people to beat several deputy generals with sticks, and now these deputy generals are still lying on the couch.

Some soldiers had a good relationship with these deputy generals, and when they saw that the deputy generals were so dissatisfied with Han Xin, they became dissatisfied with him from the bottom of their hearts.

The soldiers on the border were all aware of Han Xin's situation, and many of them were not very satisfied with him.

In their opinion, how could someone like Han Xin, who had no military experience, be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the border?

In their opinion, Han Xin was able to become the commander-in-chief because of his connections.

Over the past few days, there have been some voices of dissatisfaction among the army in the city.

Han Xin seemed not to notice the gazes of the soldiers around him, his eyes were always looking forward.

The sky was gradually getting dark and the spies also sent back information.

Han Xin was very happy to hear that the Hun army was moving.

His strategy was successful, and the Xiongnu Khan led his army to attack the border cities while taking advantage of the civil strife.

Han Xin was waiting for the arrival of the Xiongnu Chanyu, and the trap was ready.

He believed that this battle would let the soldiers on the border know again that he, Han Xin, did not rely on connections to become the commander-in-chief.

"Report!"

"General, a large number of Xiongnu cavalry are attacking the city."

A spy came to the city wall, looked at Han Xin and bowed to report.

"Understood, let's go!"

"promise!"

When the spy heard Han Xin's words, he turned and left the city wall.

"Tell the soldiers in the city to get ready. This general has ordered us to go out of the city to meet the enemy."

"If anyone disobeys, they will be punished by military law!"

Han Xin looked at the deputy general beside him and gave orders.

"promise!"

The deputy general beside him took the order and left to convey Han Xin's military order.

Outside the border city!

Touman led the Hun army and rushed towards the border city of Qin.

Looking forward, you can vaguely see the silhouette of the city.

"Soldiers, the city of Daqin is in front of you. Break into the city and you will enter Daqin territory."

Touman pointed forward with a hint of excitement on his face.

The Hun cavalry behind him also showed excitement on their faces when they heard Touman's words.

Their chance for revenge has come, and this time they must attack the city on the border of the Qin Dynasty.

Soon Touman and his army arrived not far from the city, and the sky was beginning to darken.

There were no torches lit on the city wall. Seeing this scene, Touman smiled.

As expected, civil unrest broke out on the border of the Great Qin Dynasty, and there were no soldiers with lit torches to guard the city walls.

"rush!"

Touman drew out his scimitar and pointed it forward, and the Hun army behind him began to rush towards the city gate.

"Hahaha!"

"Brothers kill!"

As the army behind Touman arrived at the city gate, they saw a large number of black shadows appearing on both sides of the gate.

Touman saw this scene as if he had seen it before, and instantly realized that he had fallen into a trap.

Once again, he led the army into the enemy's trap.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

A large number of arrows were shot at the Hun army, and soon the Hun army suffered heavy casualties.

"Brothers, keep shooting!"

Wang Ben commanded the soldiers holding Zhuge Crossbows to continue shooting arrows.

Before the battle, Han Xin told Wang Ben.

Try to make the best use of Zhuge Crossbow to reduce the casualties of your own soldiers.

Wang Ben was very happy to hear Han Xin's words, as Han Xin's idea coincided with his.

With such a good weapon as Zhuge Crossbow, we must make full use of it.

Another round of Zhuge Crossbow fire, and the Hun army suffered casualties again.

"withdraw!"

Touman looked at the large number of cavalrymen shot to death by bows and arrows, and reined in his horses to order the army to retreat.

Han Xin, standing on the city wall, looked at the scene in front of him with a sneer on his face.

"Light the torch!"

Han Xin looked at the soldiers on the city wall and issued military orders.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at Han Xin with awe; they were all experienced soldiers.

Seeing the large number of casualties among the Huns, they naturally understood that all this was Han Xin's plan.

The soldiers standing on the city wall lit the torches in their hands according to Han Xin's military order.

The entire area near the city wall was illuminated by the light of torches.
