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

Chapter 350: Han Xin won a great victory in his first battle! The Xiongnu army was completely annihilated, and Chanyu Touman was beheaded!

The light from a large number of torches illuminated the battle situation outside the city clearly.

The ground was littered with corpses of Huns shot to death by Zhuge's crossbow. The soldiers on the city wall were excited when they saw this scene.

"Go out of the city to meet the enemy, who can cut off the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu?"

"This general will reward you handsomely."

Han Xin drew the sword from his waist, pointed in the direction where the Xiongnu Chanyu was fleeing, and shouted loudly.

The Qin soldiers inside and outside the city showed excitement on their faces when they heard Han Xin's words.

"Squeak!"

The city gate slowly opened, and the soldiers in the city rushed towards the direction where the Xiongnu Chanyu was fleeing with excitement on their faces.

The soldiers outside the city were not willing to be outdone and also rushed in the direction where the Xiongnu Chanyu was fleeing.

Wang Ben, who was outside the city, saw this scene and turned to look at Han Xin on the city wall with admiration on his face.

Han Xin won a great victory just a few days after arriving at the border.

This victory was enough to secure Han Xin's position as the main general, and the soldiers on the border all had awe for Han Xin in their hearts.

As a general, if you want to convince your soldiers, the most important thing is to be able to lead them to victory.

Touman, riding on a warhorse, felt terrified when he saw that only a small part of the army he brought escaped with him.

This time they fell into a trap, and two blasts from the enemy's crossbows caused heavy casualties in their army.

While fleeing, many Hun soldiers were trampled to death by other Hun soldiers' horses in panic.

"Chanyu, the Qin soldiers are catching up with us."

When the fleeing Touman heard the words of the deputy general beside him, he turned around and his face changed drastically.

The Qin cavalry were seen waving their weapons and galloping towards them.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and there was a look of fear on Touman's face.

If it were the Qin cavalry from before, Touman would be confident that he could escape.

Now that the Qin cavalry is equipped with a three-piece set of horse harness, their speed is not only not inferior to theirs, but is even faster than theirs.

If we continue like this, it won’t be long before we’re caught up.

"Plop!"

Just as Touman was thinking about countermeasures, he was suddenly thrown off his horse.

Touman fell to the ground and felt dizzy. After he came to his senses, he understood.

His warhorse was hit by a spear and the horse threw him out in pain.

"Chanyu!"

The fleeing Hun soldiers saw the Chanyu fall off his horse and hurriedly stopped to check on Touman's condition.

"Get on your horse and run away!"

Touman's face changed drastically and he was about to mount his horse and escape when he heard a gust of strong wind.

"Pfft!"

Touman's head was separated from his body. A Qin deputy general in armor was holding Touman's head in his hand with an excited look on his face.

This man is called Wang Chong. He is the deputy general who came to the border with Han Xin and Wang Ben this time. He is the first deputy general under Wang Ben.

He was born with supernatural powers and was brave in battle, which earned him the trust of Wang Ben.

The long spear on Touman’s warhorse just now was Wang Chong’s weapon.

When Wang Chong was chasing Touman, he threw the spear in his hand at Touman's horse with all his strength.

That's why Touman fell off his horse, which gave time to pursue.

Wang Chong rode his horse as fast as he could, rushed in while the enemy was not paying attention, drew out the sword at his waist and cut off Touman's head.

Just as Wang Chong cut off Touman's head, the army behind him also caught up.

When the remaining Xiongnu soldiers saw that Chanyu Touman had been beheaded, they continued to resist with weapons in hand.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Soon all the Xiongnu cavalry that escaped with Touman were wiped out, leaving only Wang Chong and the Great Qin cavalry he brought with him.

"Brothers, the Chanyu of Touman has been beheaded by this general, and the deserters have also been annihilated."

"Brothers, go back and tell the two generals this good news."

Wang Chong held Touman's head in his hand and shouted loudly at the soldiers beside him.

"Big victory!"

"Big victory!"

The soldiers around Wang Chong showed excitement when they saw Touman's head.

For soldiers, beheading the enemy is the greatest victory.

This time they caught up with Touman and other Hun deserters and beheaded Touman.

Such achievements will surely receive many rewards.

"Back to the city!"

After dealing with the bodies, Wang Chong looked at the soldiers beside him and issued military orders.

"Back to the city!"

The soldiers shouted loudly with smiles on their faces.

Outside the border city gate, flames illuminated the area near the gate.

The battlefield near the city gate has been dealt with.

Han Xin and Wang Ben stood in front of the door, looking in the direction where Touman escaped.

Behind the two men stood soldiers with high morale. In this battle they killed many Hun soldiers.

“General Han, do you think Wang Chong can bring back Touman’s head?”

Wang Ben had a smile on his face and looked at Han Xin beside him.

"This time, Touman was defeated again, and fear filled his heart once again."

"Plus, the cavalry that went after Touman this time were all riding high-quality war horses with three-piece harnesses."

"It will not be difficult to catch up with the fleeing Touman. This general is confident that Wang Chong will return with Touman's head."

Han Xin said this with a hint of confidence on his face.

Wang Ben, who was standing aside, also had a smile on his face. He also hoped that Wang Chong could bring back Touman's head.

The Qin Empire and the Xiongnu had been fighting for years. If the head of the Xiongnu leader, Touman Chanyu, could be brought back, the news would be enough to cause a sensation in the Qin Empire.

What's more, Wang Chong was his most trusted deputy general, and Wang Chong brought back the head of Touman Chanyu.

As a general, I can also save face.

"Look, the army is coming back!"

A deputy general standing behind Han Xin and Wang Ben looked ahead and shouted loudly.

Everyone's eyes turned forward, and the figure of the cavalry appeared in everyone's sight.

Soon Wang Chong led his cavalry to Han Xin and Wang Ben.

Wang Chong dismounted from his warhorse and looked at Han Xin and Wang Ben, who were kneeling on one knee and clasping their fists in salute:

"Generals, I and my cavalry have fulfilled our mission."

"We wiped out all the fleeing Xiongnu cavalry, and Touman was also beheaded by me."

"This is Touman's head!"

Wang Chong said as he took a package off his warhorse.

When the package was opened, it was found that it contained Touman's head.

When Han Xin and Wang Ben saw Touman’s head, they showed excitement on their faces.

The deputy general and other soldiers standing behind the two were also very excited.

"Wang Chong, you and your cavalry have performed a great service."

"This general is a man of his words. You and your cavalry will be handsomely rewarded."

Han Xin patted Wang Chong on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

Just a few days after becoming the border commander, Han Xin commanded the army to win a battle and beheaded the Xiongnu Khan, Touman.

He fulfilled his mission and did not disappoint Lin Xuan and Prince Fusu.

"Hahaha!"

"Well done, Wang Chong. You didn't disappoint me."

Wang Ben helped Wang Chong up, with a smile on his face.

His deputy general cut off the head of the Xiongnu Khan, and he, as a general, would also have face if he told others about it.

"Today's victory is due to the contributions of all the brothers."

"General Wang Ben and I will ask your majesty to commend our brothers for their achievements."

"In this battle, all the brothers have made great contributions."

Han Xin looked at all the soldiers and shouted loudly.

When Wang Ben heard Han Xin's words, he felt a little admiration in his heart.

It will boost the morale of the soldiers again, which is also a good thing for their two commanders.

"General Han Xin is right. I will join General Han Xin in requesting credit for all of you brothers." Wang Ben spoke, echoing what Han Xin had just said.

"The general is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

All the soldiers were very excited when they heard what Han Xin and Wang Ben said.

The two commanders have commended them for their contributions, and Your Majesty will surely reward them generously.

"Great Qin is mighty!"

"Great Qin is mighty!"

Han Xin looked at everyone and shouted.

Wang Ben and other soldiers also followed Han Xin and shouted.

"Someone come and throw a celebration banquet!"

"promise!"

When a deputy general heard Han Xin's order, he hurried back to the city to prepare a celebration banquet.

The entire Xiongnu army was annihilated and the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman was beheaded. Such a great victory was worth holding a celebration banquet.

Outside the Qilin Hall in Xianyang City.

The ministers stood outside the Qilin Hall, waiting for the eunuch to summon them to enter the Qilin Hall.

Some ministers looked at the burly man behind Fusu, who was none other than General Meng Tian who had returned to Xianyang City from the border.

Meng Tian returned to Xianyang City and went to see His Majesty first.

Then he returned to the Meng family and reunited with his younger brothers Meng Yi, Meng Fang, and other members of the Meng family.

Your Majesty originally allowed Meng Tian to skip the morning court and rest at home during this period.

Meng Tian did not rest at home, but came to attend the morning court.

Your Majesty's decision not to allow him to attend the morning court was a favor to him, but Meng Tian could not forget his mission as a subject.

The Meng family has received such a great blessing, yet they are not criticized by outsiders.

The most important reason is that all the children of the Meng family know their positions.

The Meng family has strict family rules, and no one in the family is allowed to act tyrannically by relying on their status as a member of the Meng family.

"Hundred officials enter the palace!"

Following a loud shout from the eunuch, Fusu and other ministers entered the Qilin Hall in an orderly manner.

Everyone entered the Qilin Hall and knelt down in their seats.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Not long after everyone sat down, the eunuch summoned them and shouted again.

Wearing a black dragon robe and with the emperor's sword on his waist, the First Emperor strode into the Qilin Hall.

He walked to the dragon throne and sat down.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When everyone heard what the First Emperor said, they knelt down again.

Ying Zheng looked at everyone in the Qilin Hall, and when he saw Meng Tian, ​​there was a smile on his face.

"Meng Tian, ​​I have allowed you to rest at home for the next few days without attending court."

"Why are you here today?"

When everyone heard what the First Emperor said, they looked at Meng Tian behind Fusu.

When Meng Tian heard His Majesty's words, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, please sympathize with me."

"I dare not forget the responsibilities of a subject. I thank your majesty for his grace."

Meng Tian had a respectful look on his face and explained the reason.

The other ministers in the hall looked at Meng Tian and nodded slightly.

The Meng family has been trusted by the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty, and Your Majesty has entrusted important tasks to Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

Despite such trust, Meng Tian did not feel complacent at all and continued to do what a subject should do.

No wonder the Meng family’s status in Daqin is getting higher and higher.

When Ying Zheng heard Meng Tian's words, he felt a little helpless. He really wanted Meng Tian to have a good rest.

After being at the border for so long, your body must need recuperation.

Meng Tian insisted on coming to court, so he couldn't say anything more.

"That's all!"

"Do whatever you want!"

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian, ​​with a hint of casualness in his voice.

The other ministers looked at Meng Tian with a hint of envy in their eyes. There were only a few ministers who could make His Majesty speak so casually.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi from the Meng family were among them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Meng Tian sat down with a smile on his face.

He saw the envious looks of the other ministers, and Meng Tian did not dare to feel the slightest bit proud.

Ying Zheng glanced at Fusu, then looked at Meng Tian and said with a smile: "Meng Tian, ​​you are back to Xianyang City this time."

"But Fusu asked me for the honor. You should thank him and don't forget him."

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian and mentioned Fusu.

"Your Majesty, I thank you very much, my lord!"

Meng Tian stood up and looked at Fusu with a hint of excitement on his face.

It has been a long time since I last saw Fusu, and Meng Tian was still very excited to see Fusu today.

"General Meng Tian, ​​you are too polite. If it weren't for the fact that you have won two battles on the border."

"The Xiongnu dare not attack the border of Great Qin, and I dare not ask my father to allow General Meng Tian to return to Xianyang City to recuperate for a period of time."

Fusu looked at Meng Tian and a smile appeared on his face.

When Meng Tian returned to Xianyang City, Fusu did not go to see Meng Tian or let Meng Tian come to see him.

Fusu knew very well that he had not seen Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and other members of the Meng family for a long time.

It was also his idea to let Meng Tian have a good reunion with his family.

"The two major defeats of the Xiongnu were all due to the efforts of you and other soldiers."

"If it weren't for you providing the border cavalry with three sets of horse harness and the Zhuge Crossbow."

"It is not easy for me to defeat the Xiongnu army."

When Meng Tian heard Fusu's words, he was very humble and did not take all the credit for himself.

He also had a reason for saying this, which was to remind other ministers and His Majesty.

The two great victories on the border had a lot to do with Fusu.

As a supporter of Fusu, Meng Tian naturally had to consider Fusu in every aspect.

"You are all meritorious officials, there is no need to give way."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and Meng Tian and said with a smile on his face.

After hearing what the First Emperor said, Fusu and Meng Tian no longer made any excuses.

"Your Majesty, I have something I would like to ask General Meng Tian for advice!"

A minister with some gray hair stood up and saluted the First Emperor.

Everyone looked at the minister who was speaking, with a serious look on his face.

This person was also an important official in the court and had served in Daqin for many years.

When Your Majesty conquered the six kingdoms, many ministers opposed it.

However, this minister agreed with Your Majesty's expedition against the six kingdoms, and Your Majesty also trusted this minister.

Now this minister wanted to ask Meng Tian a question, and many ministers thought it must be an important question.

"I'm sure!"

Ying Zheng looked at the minister and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The gray-haired minister bowed and turned to look at Meng Tian:

"General Meng Tian, ​​you have already met General Han Xin at the border."

"General Han Xin will take over as the commander-in-chief of the border. General Meng Tian, ​​do you think General Han Xin can take on this position?"

The gray-haired minister looked at Meng Tian and expressed his problems.

The Qilin Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Meng Tian.

This matter was discussed in Qilin Hall some time ago, with the support of Wang Jian and Wang Ben.

His Majesty issued an edict appointing Han Xin as the chief general on the border.

Unexpectedly, today when the minister saw Meng Tian, ​​the former commander-in-chief, he mentioned this matter again.
