In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 507 surprise attack
Hun court.

In the warm big tent, a charcoal fire was burning.Touman and a group of Xiongnu nobles gathered here, and could not feel the cold outside.

The tribes of the Xiongnu were originally scattered tribes, and Touman gathered all the tribes.Originally, the leaders of many tribes in this tent have also become officials under Touman's command.

Da Danghu Ji Guli said worriedly.

"Shan Yu, if we continue fighting like this, we won't be able to hold on!"

Autumn is tall and horses are fat. This is the time when the Xiongnu's combat power is at its highest.In just a few battles, the Qin army suffered a lot of losses, as did the Huns.

What's more, when the Xiongnu had the upper hand, they could defeat the Qin army composed of invincible infantry outside the Great Wall.After that, it will be even more difficult.

The weather is getting colder and the food is getting less and less.It is very difficult for the Huns who are in short supply to let the Huns' cavalry continue to fight against the Qin army in the middle of winter.

"I know, hold on a little longer."

Touman sat on the throne, supported his chin with his hands, and said through gritted teeth.

Unlike the Qin army, the Xiongnu did not have a steady supply of food.The main sources of grain are domesticated cattle and sheep, and grains produced by the royal courts of Yinshan and Helanshan.Only this part was mostly supplied to the Huns nobles and their soldiers.

For ordinary tribesmen, it is considered good to be able to eat beef and mutton once a year.In normal times, they can only eat cheese and what they gather and hunt.

But the weather turned cold, everything on the earth withered, and there was less and less food to collect.Domesticated cattle and sheep also need a harbor that can escape the cold wind, otherwise a white disaster will cause a lot of losses.

Hu Yanzuo, the chief of the Huns, stood up at this time, complaining a little.

"Shan Yu, now the cattle and sheep need shelter from the cold, the war horses need fresh grass, and the women of the royal court are waiting for the return of the Huns' warriors. Why do we have to fight that Qin man in this meaningless place?"

Hu Yanzuo's words represent the aspirations of most people in this tent.This battle has been fought for too long, but nothing has been gained. The Huns are already tired.

What's more, they urgently need to return to nurture the next generation.Otherwise, if this season is missed, the population of the Huns will be greatly affected.

"I know, but this battle has to be fought." Touman said with a serious face, "Look, the Qin people have already established camps outside the Great Wall. If we withdraw our troops at this time and come back next year, I am afraid that the Qin people will build more. Many. At that time, the pastures in the south may not belong to my Great Huns."

"Then give it to them!" Hu Yan Zuoman, the chief guard, didn't care, "It's impossible for the people of Qin to stay here for a long time anyway, but the pasture won't leave."

"No!" Touman shook his head, "First the military stronghold, and then a small town with hundreds or thousands of people, slowly gathering the people, the power of the Qin army will gradually go north. If one day, the people of Qin really take over the city After repairing our royal court, are we going to retreat to Monan?"

"But that Qin man is very powerful, we can't take advantage of it!"

"Wait a little longer, I have received news that the Qin army is running out of food and grass. At that time, the main force of Shangjun will have to retreat behind the Great Wall."

Speaking of this, Touman's eyes flashed a gleam, like a wolf's bloodthirsty.

"Moreover, once the Qin army starts to attack the Six Kingdoms, there will be a shortage of food in Shangjun, and the defense in the north will no longer be as tight as it is now. What will be in front of us at that time is the wealth, land and population of several or even dozens of counties. But in advance, this wedge must be pulled out first. Otherwise, after they gain a firm foothold here, we will come back next year, and the cost will inevitably be higher than now.”

As Touman said, greedy expressions appeared on everyone's faces.It's just that they also have some doubts in their hearts. In Touman's words, is it mainly because of his high spirits, or he has other plans.

Changping Palace.

On the huge map is the detailed topography of Shangjun.Mr. Changping was watching, and Mr. Changwen walked in.

"Brother, Yan Dan has already run away."

"Is he alone?"

"There is also a woman traveling with me, which makes me a little concerned. The farmer is secretly helping, and Yan Dan and that woman have already reconciled with Yan Mo's people."

Mr. Changping nodded.

"What does King Qin say?"

"After King Qin heard the news, he didn't order to hunt him down. He seemed to let him go."

Mr. Changping stroked his beard.

"Even so, the rivers and lakes will not be peaceful. Luo Wang and the Yin Yang family are watching him. The Mo family is by the side, and I am afraid that they will not be idle. Fortunately, Zhao Shuang is currently focusing all his energy on the border war."

"I heard he played well?"

"It's really good. But this battle was piled up with money and food. Zhao Shuang made a lot of noise, the momentum was monstrous, and he killed a lot of Huqi, but so far there is not much harvest."

Ordinary battles are nothing more than plundering food, land, and population, but the Huns have none of these.

"It seems that the old lady is going to pay."

Chang Wenjun chuckled lightly.

"It's indeed a loss. I heard that not only the granary in Shangjun is about to bottom out, but also the old lady's 50 shi of grain and grass are almost used up. I heard that Zhao Shuang has already transported the grain he stored in Shangjun. Skin applied."

"So the battle is almost over?"

Changwen Jun teased, but saw Changping Jun laughing too.

"Zhao Shuang has started to spend his own money, so naturally this battle is almost over."

Mr. Changping pointed to the newly marked military stronghold on the map.

"Zhao Shuang spent a lot of money. He built a military stronghold and beacon here. He relied on the Great Wall and took advantage of the terrain to build a line of defense. He can attack when he advances, and he can defend when he retreats. But Touman will not let him go. If he can't hold on to this In winter, his upfront expenses will be in vain."

Mr. Changping smiled.

"This battle, our Lord Hanyang may suffer heavy losses!"

Shang County.

The weather is getting colder.

Zhao Shuang walked to the corridor on the second floor, stretched out his hand, feeling the cold wind.

"It's time, too. When the snow falls, Touman may not be able to hold on anymore, so he will withdraw from the army."

Bai Lu and Li Ji stood behind Zhao Shuang, just as Zhao Shuang turned around.

"Bai Lu, order the Anxi town army to leave Xiaoguan in the north, and arrive at the royal court of Helan Mountain within fifteen days. Remember, once you respond to official documents, don't go to the right prime minister's mansion, and leave it to the left prime minister."

"promise!"

Bai Lu nodded, but she still had some doubts in her heart.

"But Longxi doesn't have so much military rations and military expenses now?"

"I'm out!"

The two loud sounds made Zhao Shuang seem to be shrouded in brilliance.

For some reason, Bai Lu and Li Ji felt surprisingly handsome when they saw Zhao Shuang, who was always in a tight spot, looking like a local tyrant.

Bai Lu took the order and went down, Zhao Shuang turned his head and looked at Li Ji.

"You tell Xin Zhao through the Mohist news channel that the Xiongnu is unprepared, let him take three thousand cavalry from the headquarters and one thousand cavalry from the descendants of the Moon Wolf, plus three thousand cavalry from the Hu and Qiang and one thousand servants from the Yue clan Cavalry, surprise the Xiongnu royal court at the foot of Helan Mountain. Tell him, before the first snow falls in Jincheng, he must seize the Helan Mountain Xiongnu royal court."

"promise!"
