Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 299

"General Qi, the Huns camp is found ahead." The spy jumped off his horse and rushed over to report.

Meng Tian, ​​who was eating the pot helmet on the horse, raised his thick eyebrows, his tiger eyes shone brightly, and asked, "Where is it?"

"It's just fifty miles ahead." The spy replied, "General, this camp is huge, probably tens of thousands of people."

"That's good!" Meng Tian pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife, and said, "After so many days of marching on the grassland, we found some small camps, and today we can finally fight a good battle."

The spies reported again: "General, according to the news from the front, this camp should be the camp of Youxian King, because the flag of Youxian King was found."

"Great!" Meng Tian was extremely excited, and said, "I am a cat, King You Xian is a mouse, the cat is finally going to catch the mouse."

The spy continued: "Also, it seems that the Huns are celebrating something. They are distributing wine and meat, and they are singing and dancing by the fire."

"Okay, you go down." Meng Tian waved the spies to retreat, and said: "They are not celebrating, it is that they are about to march south, first they have to eat and drink enough. You can eat, you can drink, This is your last meal, if you don’t eat enough and drink well, wouldn’t you be starving to death?”

The generals were very excited, please fight: "General, hurry up and order!"

The Huns were celebrating, so it could be said that they had no defense at all. As long as Meng Tian led the army to the Huns, they would have to let them slaughter them. It can be said that this is a rare opportunity. Logically, there is no reason for Meng Tian not to give the order. However, Meng Tian looked up at the sky and said : "Pass my order..." All the generals pressed their right hands on the hilt of the saber, and as soon as Meng Tian gave an order, they immediately drew their sabers out of their sheaths and killed the generals.To their disappointment, Meng Tian's next words were: "Rest in place!"

This order was so unexpected that the generals were very surprised and asked: "General, why don't you attack immediately?"

Meng Tian glanced at the generals, and asked slowly: "Have you ever fought a tiger?"

The generals didn't understand what he meant, they couldn't figure it out, they just watched him and said nothing.

Meng Tian laughed and said: "It seems that you have never fought before. Tigers are very ferocious and want to eat people, and ordinary people can't beat them. Experienced hunters will never hunt tigers when they are looking for food, because tigers are the most ferocious at that time. , It is very difficult to deal with. The best time to attack the tiger is after the tiger is full, and when he is taking a nap, the tiger will not be able to use his strength."

"The general means..." The generals seemed to understand.

Meng Tian went on to say: "My meaning is very clear. I want the Xiongnu to eat and drink enough..." The general who reacted quickly took over and said, "We will dispatch again while the Xiongnu are asleep. At that time, they are still asleep. Wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"

"We have to do a good thing, don't let them starve to death!" Meng Tian joked.

All the generals raised their thumbs up and praised: "The general is brilliant!"

"Send out a guard post and strengthen your defenses!" Meng Tian ordered, "Brothers should sleep well and recharge their spirits. This battle will not end in a short time."

The generals were suspicious and asked: "General, why is this? When fighting late at night, Bao Zhun will prevent the Xiongnu from seeing the sun tomorrow. This battle will end soon."

Meng Tian smiled and said: "You don't understand. This is King Youxian's camp. It must be the gathering place of the Xiongnu army. Some troops must have not arrived yet. We defeated the assembled Xiongnu army. For those who did not Do you want to pursue the Hun army that has arrived? Do you want to pursue the remnants of the defeated general?"

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable, the general is wise!" The generals once again admired Meng Tian's carefulness.

As soon as the order was passed, the whole army dismounted, and the horses took a piece in their mouths and rested on the spot.

In the middle of the night, Meng Tian raised his head to look at the sky, the moon was approaching the middle of the sky, he stood up abruptly, flew on his horse, drew his sword out of its sheath, and galloped through the army, lecturing loudly to encourage fighting spirit, he said: "Brothers: Are you hungry?"

"Yes!" The soldiers answered in unison.

Meng Tian continued: "I'm just as hungry as you are. In the past, I would have ordered you to eat pot knuckles, but this time I won't. Because someone invited us to a big meal, a hearty breakfast! You know it is Who is asking us?"

"I don't know!" The soldiers answered loudly.

Meng Tian waved the saber in his right hand and said, "It's the Right Wise King of the Huns! He prepared roasted whole lamb and kumiss for us! Brothers, let's go to the banquet and kill the Huns with our sabers!"

"Kill the Huns! Kill the Huns!" The soldiers cheered in unison.

Meng Tian slapped his horse's back, rushed out first, and shouted: "Let's go!" The army followed up, and the thunderous hooves echoed on the grassland, breaking the tranquil night sky.

Fifty miles is a long way for a two-legged man, but for a four-legged horse, a charging distance can be covered in one breath.

When Meng Tian and the others arrived, they saw an unbelievable scene. The Huns were full of food and drink, and fell asleep beside the fire. Where was the army, they were no different from ordinary people.

Before Maodu unified the various tribes of the Xiongnu, the Huns were poorly organized. Historical books described the Huns as bandits, advancing if they were profitable, retreating if they were not profitable, courageous if they were favorable, and timid if they were not profitable. In fact, the Huns did not have good organizational discipline.In fact, not to mention the Huns, a common feature of nomads is that their laws are very rough, and it is normal for them to have poor organizational discipline.

This is a god-sent opportunity, how could the Qin army be polite, shouting to kill the generals to enter, the Huns were unprepared, how could they resist, they could only cry for their father and mother, and run around like a mouse.

The desert eagle, known as being able to live a lifetime on horseback and being skilled at bowing horses, can't stand up at all, and can only be slaughtered by the Qin army.

The fight did not end until dawn.Meng Tian drove his horse to King Youxian's tent, and saw that the generals of the Huns were killed and wounded, some of them were holding young women in their arms, their faces were full of satisfaction and panic, and they didn't know that they were brought by the satisfied women. Their joy, or Qin Jun's sharp blade without long eyes, and they don't know whether they are women who can hollow out their bodies in fear, or Qin Jun's swords and arrows?
"The Xiongnu's ambition is here!" Meng Tian pointed the blood-dripping saber in his hand at those Hun generals who died strangely, and asked, "Where is the Right Wise King?"

"Back to the general, King Youxian escaped, and Captain Zuo died in battle." A general replied.

Meng Tian said indifferently: "A commander who only cares about running for his life can't do anything! Kill Captain Zuo, and the harvest is not bad. Send me an order: the whole army sets out to chase the Xiongnu! Send news to General Li and General Wang, tell They: King Youxian's camp was swallowed up by the night sky last night."

The news quickly spread to Li Mu and Wang Ben. Li Mu who arrived at Gaoque and Wang Ben who rushed to the foot of Yinshan blocked the Huns' retreat, and the 15 Qin army attacked across the board.The Youxian King's camp was destroyed, and the Xiongnu army in the land of Hetao had no leader. They fought on their own, unable to coordinate, and were soon wiped out by the Qin army.

The rich land of Hetao, which was occupied by the Xiongnu during the civil strife in China, returned to China!
