Chapter 451: Northern Attack on the Huns
On the Mobei grassland, 30,000 Qin troops marched north. Meng Tian had been stationed in the north for many years and had a deep understanding of the Xiongnu's fighting style.

Before this, although the equipment of the Huns was not as good as that of the Qin, it was not much worse. The Huns at this time were not barbarians. It can even be said that there were many people from the Central Plains among the Huns.

Among the ancestors of the Xiongnu, some were the remnants of the Xia Dynasty. In the Battle of Mingtiao, Shang Tang led his army to defeat the Xia Dynasty, but the Xia Dynasty did not perish. Some of the remnants of the Xia Dynasty moved south, while others moved north.

The remnants of the Xia Dynasty who migrated north merged with the nomadic peoples to form today's Xiongnu. In addition, during the period of war in the Central Plains, people from the north always entered the grasslands. In addition to the technology brought by the people of the Central Plains, the Xiongnu people in the Western Regions also obtained technology from Central Asia.

Although the Huns' technology was not as good as that of the Qin Dynasty, their strength was still very powerful.

When Maodun, the Great Khan of the Xiongnu, learned that the 30,000 Qin troops were marching out of the Great Wall, he immediately threw a wine glass on the ground and said, "How dare the Qin people look down on me like this!"

"A mere 30,000 Qin troops dare to leave the Great Wall!"

"Great Chanyu, let me go. I will defeat the 30,000 Qin troops, cut off the heads of the Qin commanders, and make their skulls into wine vessels as a gift to you!" A big man next to him stepped forward and said.

"Great Chanyu, let me go, I will definitely chop off the head of the Qin army commander!"

"Great Chanyu"

In the big tent, everyone around expressed their loyalty to the Great Chanyu. Maodun unified the Xiongnu grassland and was a great leader. He was defeated by the Qin army in a battle, chased all the way for 700 miles, and lost the Hetao area. This was a great shame for him.

The Xiongnu Empire had just been established and there was no orderly succession. If he showed weakness, it was very likely that people would kill him and his father, just like he had done before, and seize the position of the Xiongnu Khan.

So after learning that the Qin army only had 30,000 troops, Maodun immediately decided that this time he would lead the army himself and leave these 30,000 Qin troops completely on the grassland.

Maodun issued an order to directly summon 300,000 Xiongnu troops to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army. In order to completely destroy this Qin army, Maodun was not careless and specially prepared 300,000 troops.

As his order was issued, the Xiongnu tribes scattered across the grassland quickly assembled. The Xiongnu king's camp had an army of 100,000, plus the surrounding tribes. In just a few days, 300,000 troops were assembled.

Unlike the Central Plains army, the Xiongnu army had almost no baggage and mostly drove cattle and sheep, and they gathered very quickly.

Of course, part of the reason is that they are on the grassland. If they were in other places, it would be equally difficult for the Huns to gather a large army.

Meng Tian had been stationed at the Great Wall for many years and knew how powerful the Huns were. If they were to fight head-on, he would not be afraid even if the Huns had 300,000 men. The Qin army's crossbow formation was enough to teach them a lesson. What Meng Tian was worried about was that the Huns would not fight him but play hide-and-seek with him on the grassland.

The grassland is vast, and if the Huns are determined to escape, Meng Tian will not be able to catch them. At that time, he can only lead the army back. This time, the expedition against the Huns can only be a military tour.

In order to make the Huns dare to fight him, Meng Tian only brought 30,000 troops. Although the 30,000 troops seemed far less numerous than the Huns, all 30,000 were equipped with iron armor, horseshoes, stirrups, high-bridge saddles, and had undergone a year of intensive training.

Today, these Qin cavalry have been completely transformed compared to before.

The large amount of iron equipment made the Qin army extremely powerful. Although the Xiongnu also used iron and bronze equipment, iron armor was also extremely rare. On the battlefield, the armored ones beat the unarmored ones, which was as simple as a father beating his son.

This was also the reason why Meng Tian dared to lead only 30,000 troops out of the Great Wall to fight a decisive battle with the Huns.

Richard was also paying attention to this battle.

After Meng Tian led his army northward for a while, the army's scouts discovered the Huns. When he saw the Huns, Meng Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His adventure was successful and the Huns were attracted by him.

Obviously, Meng Tian guessed the Huns' intention correctly this time. The Huns wanted to wipe out the 30,000 Qin troops in one fell swoop.

The war soon began.

Meng Tian ordered the central army of 10,000 to attack, and the left and right armies to guard the two wings. When the Huns saw that the Qin army dared to take the initiative to attack, they were overjoyed.

"Hahaha, the Qin people actually dared to engage in a cavalry decisive battle with us without using their crossbow formation!"

"Great Chanyu, I am willing to be the vanguard. Watch me defeat the Qin cavalry, chop off the head of the Qin general, and present his warhorse to you!" The impatient Xiongnu shouted.
Maodun was very happy and said immediately: "Then I order you to be the vanguard and chop off the head of the Qin general for me!"

"Yes!" After getting the Great Chanyu's consent, the man immediately led a large Hun army into battle.

Tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalrymen wanted to show off their archery skills. As a nation on horseback, they were confident. But as soon as they started fighting, they realized that they were wrong, because the Qin people were also able to shoot arrows on horseback, and the Qin people's bows and arrows could shoot farther and were sharper than theirs. After just a few moments of fighting, hundreds of people were shot by Qin's bows and arrows. When their arrows hit the Qin army, they were directly deflected by the armor.

Seeing this scene, the Hun general's face became gloomy. He immediately decided to teach the Qin people a lesson, so he directly ordered to engage in close combat with the Qin people.

But the next scene directly shattered his confidence. The Qin army directly rushed towards the Huns. With stirrups and high-bridge saddles, the Qin army was like a tiger, tearing through the Huns' defenses.

The sturdy armor blocked the Huns' swords, but the Qin's weapons could easily tear the Huns' leather armor. After a charge, a large number of Huns fell off their horses, while only a few Qin soldiers fell.

Seeing this scene, this group of Huns finally felt frightened. Meng Tian naturally noticed it as well and immediately ordered the army to attack.

In order to prepare for today's battle, Meng Tian specially equipped three thousand heavily armored cavalry. Not only did the cavalry wear heavy armor, but the horses also wore armor.

Three thousand heavily armored cavalry took advantage of the Huns' defeat and rushed directly towards the Huns' central army's banner.

This heavy cavalry charge directly frightened the Huns. No matter whether they attacked with swords or bows and arrows, they could not cause any harm to them. One Huns after another were killed by them. Behind these heavy cavalry, there were more than 20,000 Qin cavalry.

The 30,000-man army, with 3,000 heavy armored soldiers as the vanguard and 27,000 cavalry guards, charged directly at the Huns. The Huns no longer dared to fight and turned around and ran away.

These fleeing Huns were in a panic and directly broke up the formation of other Huns. Without the formation, the cavalry had no strength at all. Facing the three thousand black armored heavy cavalry, these Huns were directly overwhelmed, and then more and more Huns began to flee.

The 300,000-strong Xiongnu army had not even deployed its troops. Many Xiongnu had not even seen the Qin army when they heard a large number of Xiongnu shouting, "Devils! They are all devils!"

"Defeated, the army was defeated!"

"Run away!"

A large number of Huns fled, and more Huns began to flee for their lives. The 300,000-strong army quickly collapsed under the charge of the Qin army.

The central army of the Great Chanyu Maodun was also scattered, but fortunately the central army was composed of his elite troops and did not flee. Even when Maodun shouted loudly, some defeated Huns began to gather around him and reorganize the army.

Meng Tian soon discovered the difference in this army. When he saw that they were trying to regroup, he shouted, "My lords, follow me to kill the enemy and behead Maodun!"

Three thousand black-armored cavalry rushed directly towards the central army of the Great Khan Maodun. The three thousand heavy cavalry armed to the teeth were simply not a type of soldier that should exist in this era.

With their super strong defense, they unleashed a powerful impact, crushing and killing all the soldiers standing in their way. The central army, which had just stabilized, could not withstand the impact of the black-armored heavy cavalry.

A large number of Huns were killed, and the Huns' swords were directly bounced off when they hit the Qin army.

Faced with the invulnerable Qin army, the Huns were completely desperate. They had been trying to boost their morale, but now they completely collapsed. No matter how much Maodun shouted, he could not stop them.

"Great Chanyu, the Qin people are too strong. Their armor is impervious to swords and spears. We can't kill them at all. Moreover, not only their people, but also their horses are covered in heavy armor!"

"Great Chanyu, run away!"

"The Qin people are coming!"

Several loyal guards around him escorted the Great Chanyu and tried to escape, but the army formation had been disrupted by the fleeing soldiers. A large number of fleeing soldiers rushed to escape and directly filled the surrounding space. Maodun wanted to escape, but was blocked on the road.

At the same time, the Qin army also rushed up, killing a large number of Huns wherever they passed. The 300,000 Huns army completely collapsed and fled madly to various places. The Qin army continued to attack from behind, and more and more Huns died.

Seeing the Qin army approaching from behind, Maodun was so scared that he kept whipping his horse and tried to escape, but the road was blocked and he couldn't run fast at all. After the Qin army saw the Huns were defeated, they immediately rushed up and continued to surround and kill them.

The Huns, who had lost their courage, were killed in large numbers, and eventually even Maodun was captured alive by the Qin army.

The 300,000-man army suffered heavy casualties as they trampled on each other. In the end, less than one-third of the Huns escaped. More importantly, this battle directly broke the Huns' courage. The 20,000 light cavalry chased the Huns relentlessly, and the road was littered with Hun corpses.

Meng Tian led his army and chased the Huns all the way to their royal tent, then broke into the tent in one fell swoop, capturing tens of thousands of Huns and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.
