They were really exhausted. In the past three days and two nights, they not only fought four battles, but also ran back and forth for seventy or eighty miles, without much rest time at all.

 In this way, even hard-working people can't hold on!

 Ordinarily, this abandoned village is only [-] or so away from Xiping Pass in the west. If the Huns cavalry chased them, it would only take half a day.

 This is definitely not a safe place, and it was not suitable for Qin Jun to rest here.

 Ma Chao had no choice but to do so.

 On the way to retreat, many of the [-] Qin soldiers could not hold on anymore.

 Some people even fell asleep while running on horseback, and then fell off their horses and died.

 He didn't die on the battlefield, but fell to his death in such a useless way, which made Ma Chao feel worthless.

 In the case of the cavalry of the Qin Army, it is not one or two.

 In order to avoid more tragedies, Ma Chao simply found this abandoned village and asked his soldiers of the Qin Army to rest here for a good night.

 Ma Chao could only pray that the Huns would not come after him so quickly.

 Moreover, with the arrival of the [-] Yinshan cavalry regiment led by Gu Jiang, the power in Ma Chao's hands has also doubled, giving Ma Chao more confidence.

 Fortunately, this time the goddess of luck finally favored Qin Jun once.

 After the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu conquered Xiping Pass, he did not immediately lead the army eastward, but stayed at Xiping Pass temporarily.

 Of course, there are reasons for this.

 Because, Maodun Shanyu in Xiping Pass had already received the news that many cavalry troops under King Youxian had been defeated by the Qin army and suffered heavy casualties.

 Even, up to now, Mao Dun Shanyu has not found his Youxian King.

 "What? King Youxian is missing? What's going on, tell Ben Chanyu clearly."

 Mao Dun Shanyu was also surprised after receiving the report from his generals.

 "Reporting to the Great Chanyu, we will send people to find those troops under King Youxian who entered Louyun Pass from the south.

 It is learned that the troops of King Youxian were ambushed by the Qin army in the area of ​​Louyun Pass on the west side yesterday, and suffered a lot of losses.

 Immediately, King Youxian led the army in person to find the cavalry of the Qin army and wanted to destroy it.

 However, what people never expected was that King Youxian was also defeated by the Qin people in a place called 'Baimazhuang'.

 Since then, we have no news of King Youxian.

 According to those who escaped, the soldiers of King Youxian's tribe said that they did not find King Youxian either. "

 The generals of the Huns reported truthfully to Modu Chanyu.

 "How did this happen? King Youxian has tens of thousands of cavalry at any rate. How could he be defeated by the Qin people and his whereabouts are unknown?"

 At this time, Mao Dun Shanyu also had a bad premonition in his heart.

 "If you are alive, you want to see people, if you die, you want to see the corpse. Send people to continue looking for the whereabouts of King Youxian, and report to Ben Shanyu at any time."

 Mao Dun Shanyu gave such an order with a dark face.

 "It's fine if you die in battle, but don't let it fall into the hands of the Qin people."

 Mao Dun Shanyu thought in his heart.

 For Mao Dun Shanyu, it didn't matter if a Youxian king died in battle, and a new Youxian king would soon replace him.

 But if King Youxian was captured by the Qin people, it would not be good news for Mao Dun Shanyu.

 It was also because Mao Dun Shanyu did not receive any news from Youxian King that he did not lead the army to the east for the time being, and Ma Chao avoided disaster.

Chapter 141 Xu Feng Arrived in Jiuyuan, Mao Dun's Discovery

 141 Xu Feng Arrived in Jiuyuan, Mao Dun's Discovery

 [Please subscribe! 】

 On January 25, the fifth year of Qin II, Jiuyuan City.

 Rumble!

 A huge cavalry team appeared outside Jiuyuan City, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the Qin army defenders in the city.

 The low-pitched horn sounded, and groups of soldiers of the Qin Army climbed onto the city wall.

 Jia Xu personally boarded the city wall and commanded the soldiers.

 After Ma Chao left Jiuyuan City, Jia Xu began to implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness in Jiuyuan City County.

 Except for the far west, Jia Xu notified the seven cities and dozens of villages in the central part of Jiuyuan in less than a week.

 Let all the Qin people in these cities and villages drag their families and take shelter in the surrounding valleys temporarily, so as not to be slaughtered and plundered by the Huns.

 In daily life, the Qin people in Jiuyuan County are more aware of the brutality of those barbaric Huns outside the pass than anyone else.

 So, the migration worked very smoothly.

 When these people learned that the Huns were about to invade, they took the initiative to drag their families, food and livestock, and hid in the surrounding mountains in a mighty way.

 This is also the strategy formulated by Jia Xu and Ma Chao. Ma Chao sent troops to support Xiping Pass, which was nothing more than delaying the pace of the Xiongnu army.

 It would be best if Ma Chao could stop the Xiongnu army at Xiping Pass. If he couldn't stop it, Ma Chao would let the Huns in.

 At that time, Jia Xu had already completed the migration of all Qin people in the central part of Jiuyuan.

 Even if the Huns broke in, they couldn't find anything.

 "My lord, it's not the enemy, it's our people, it's His Majesty's army!"

 A general of the Qin Army saw the flag of the cavalry coming from outside the city, and shouted excitedly to Jia Xu.

 "It's His Majesty's army, that's great."

 Jia Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was the Huns who came to kill him.

 Xu Feng took Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others, as well as more than 3 cavalry of the Qin Army, and galloped [-] miles from Xianyang to Jiuyuan City in five days.

 "Your Majesty, why did you personally lead the army here?"

 After seeing clearly that it was Qin Jun who came, Jia Xu immediately led people out of the city to meet Xu Feng, and asked happily.

 Jia Xu originally thought that Xu Feng might send Lu Bu and Zhao Yun to support them, but Jia Xu didn't expect that it was Xu Fengyu himself who came here.

 "How are you doing here?"

 Xu Feng did not answer Jia Xu's inquiry, but asked him instead.

 "Returning to Your Majesty, General Ma has led the army to rescue Xiping Pass, and it has been a week.

 So far no specific news has been sent back, but the cavalry sent by Weichen to the west to guard will report back once a day.

 So far, no cavalry of the Huns has been found within fifty miles of Jiuyuan City. "

 "So, Ma Chao is leading the army at Xiping Pass in the west, and is fighting fiercely with the Huns?"

 "Yes, Your Majesty!"

 "Well, the situation is better than I expected."

 Xu Feng laughed. He originally thought that the menacing Huns would have crossed the Great Wall and killed them at the foot of Jiuyuan City.

 Now Xu Feng heard what Jia Xu said, which meant that the Huns were still blocked by Ma Chao on the West Great Wall, and the situation was not bad.

 "Let the soldiers enter the city and have a good night's rest.

 Jia Xu, you immediately send someone to Xiping Pass to contact Ma Chao.

 I want to know the specifics of his situation. "

 Immediately, Xu Feng ordered.

 "No, Your Majesty."

 However, not long after Xu Feng entered Jiuyuan City, he saw Jia Xu rushing to see him.

 "Your Majesty, good news!"

 Before Jia Xu ran to Xu Feng, he shouted excitedly.

 "Has there been good news from Ma Chao?"

 Seeing Jia Xu so happy, Xu Feng had a guess in his heart.

 "Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed General Ma who sent the good news.

 Just now, the cavalry sent by Weichen saw a group of troops sent back by General Ma about fifty miles to the west.

 This team sent back hundreds of wounded soldiers and more than [-] heads of the Huns in five carts.

 According to the report of the generals of this team, before they came back, Xiping Pass was still in our hands.

 Moreover, General Ma led [-] cavalry, and within a day, at a place called Baimazhuang, defeated the Huns cavalry three times, defeated tens of thousands of Huns cavalry, and beheaded [-] heads.

 General Ma sent these people to send back the wounded soldiers and their heads first. "

 Jia Xu excitedly told Xu Feng.

 "With only [-] cavalry, you can defeat the Xiongnu three times in one day, defeat tens of thousands of Hun cavalry, and behead [-].

 Well, what a Jin Machao, he did not disappoint me! "

 After hearing Jia Xu's words, Xu Feng also praised Ma Chao greatly.

 "Your Majesty, it's not over yet."

 Jia Xu smiled and said.

 "What else?"

 "Your Majesty, General Ma also captured King Youxian of the Huns." Jia Xu said with an exaggerated expression.

 "What! Ma Chao captured Youxian King of the Huns, really?"

 This time, Xu Feng was also shocked.

 "It's absolutely true, but the Right Wise King of the Huns was brought by Ma Chao himself, and was not sent back in advance."

 "Haha, okay, if Ma Chao really brings me back a virtuous king of the Huns, I will reward him heavily."

 At this moment, Xu Feng was in a great mood.

 Before, because more than [-] Huns marched south, Xu Feng felt heavy pressure.

 But now, the two good news sent back by Ma Chao not only relieved Xu Feng's pressure, but also boosted the morale of the Qin army after being passed on.

 "The Huns are nothing more than that."

 On the evening of the 25th, Xu Feng received another battle report in Jiuyuan City.

 However, this time it was not a good news.

 "Your Majesty, I have just received definite news that Xiping Pass has fallen."

 Jia Xu walked in and said to Xu Feng.

 "Is Xiping Pass still lost?"

 In fact, the fall of Xiping Pass had already been expected by Xu Feng.

 According to the information obtained by the Qin army, this time the Xiongnu was led by Mao Dun Shanyu himself, and a full 30 troops went south, which was basically more than [-]% of the entire Xiongnu's strength.

 Facing such a huge Huns who are also brave and good at fighting, it is impossible to defend Xiping Pass, which has less than tens of thousands of defenders.

 Even if Ma Chao brought [-] cavalry from the Qin army to support him, it would not work. The strength gap between the two sides is too large.

 Not to mention the weak Xiping Pass, even if it was the Great Wall south of Yinshan Mountain, the Qin army had many defenders, so it might be difficult to hold it, and it would take a while at most.

 Before, Xu Feng received two good news from Ma Chao, which made him feel lucky.

 But with the latest news, the luck in Xu Feng's heart was shattered.

 "How is Ma Chao? Have you withdrawn?"

 It doesn't matter if Xiping Pass is breached, Xu Feng is worried that Ma Chao and the tens of thousands of Qin cavalry led by others must not lose again.

 "Don't worry, Your Majesty, General Ma has already withdrawn with his troops before the Huns broke through."

 "Where are they now?"

 "General Ma is leading the army back."
