The rest of the troops will follow Ben Shanyu to the east tomorrow morning and sweep across the grassland north of the Yellow River.

 This place originally belonged to me, the Great Huns, and it is time to take it back from the Qin people this time. "

 Mao Dun squinted his eyes, exuding a strong aura, and gave an order.

 In the early morning of the 26th, Mao Dun personally led an army of more than [-] Huns, and pushed across the eastward in a mighty manner, killing Jiuyuan City.

 The Qin Great Wall in this era was basically built along the Yellow River.

 Especially the Great Wall on the Hetao side is completely parallel to the Yellow River.

 After Mao Dun led the Xiongnu army to the south to break through the pass, further south was the Jiuqu Yellow River.

 Fortunately, to the south is the Yellow River, which prevented the Huns cavalry from going south. Otherwise, the Qin people on the large land in the south would have been plundered by the Huns cavalry.

 To the north is the Great Wall. The land between the Yellow River and the Great Wall is the Hetao area. The land is the most fertile and the river grass is lush, which is very suitable for horse herding.

 At the beginning, Qin Shihuang drove the Huns away from here, and the Huns have always wanted to kill them back.

 After Mao Dun became the Hun's great chanyu, the Xiongnu became stronger and stronger, and naturally they will not forget their past humiliation.

 Therefore, this time Maodun led an army of 30 Huns to the south, with the belief that he would take back Hetao.

 And the Qin army is north of the Yellow River and south of the Great Wall. The only strong city is Jiuyuan City.

 As long as the Huns can take down Jiuyuan City, they will sweep Yunzhong County to the east.

 At that time, the entire Hetao area north of the "Nine" Yellow River will return to the hands of the Huns.

 And just when Mao Dun Shanyu led the Xiongnu army to the east, more than [-] cavalry of the Qin Army led by Ma Chao finally returned to Jiuyuan City.

 At this time, in Jiuyuan City, except for the more than [-] cavalry of the Qin Army who came from Xianyang led by Xu Feng himself.

 The [-] cavalry of the Qin Army who came from the cloud to support them had also arrived at Jiuyuan City.

 At this time, Jiuyuan City had gathered a total of [-] Qin cavalry, which was basically the vast majority of Qin's current cavalry, all of which had arrived.

 The remaining [-] original defenders in Jiuyuan City, as well as the Qin army who stayed on the Great Wall at Yinshan and Yunzhong, were all infantry.

 Xu Feng knew very well that only cavalry could deal with such a huge Hun cavalry army.

 "The last general, Ma Chao, pays homage to His Majesty."

 After Ma Chao returned to Jiuyuan City, Xu Feng personally brought Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others to greet him at the gate of the city, giving Ma Chao enough face.

 In fact, Ma Chao has indeed fought very well in the battle with the Huns at Xiping Pass in the past few days.

 Especially in the third battle of Baimazhuang, with the power of [-] Qin troops, they defeated tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops, beheaded [-] heads, and captured the Huns Youxian King.

 With this record alone, there are not many people on Qin Jun's side who can match it.

 "Aiqing, please, you fought very well in this battle, and I am very pleased to have shown the prestige of our Qin people!"

 Xu Feng helped Ma Chao up with a smile and said.

 "Your Majesty, the last general brought you a gift. Bring it up!"

 After speaking, Ma Chao waved to the back.

 Immediately, two Qin soldiers escorted a man wearing a left jacket with hair down.

 Xu Feng knew without guessing that this guy must be the Youxian King of the Huns.

 "Your Majesty, this person is the Right Wise King of the Huns. He was captured by a humble official, and he is brought here to His Majesty for disposal."

 "Well, you did a good job, Ma Chao."

 Then, Xu Feng walked up to Hu Yiman, looked down at him, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you the Right Wise King of the Huns?"

 There was an interpreter beside him, who translated Xu Feng's words to Hu Yiman.

 "Emperor Qin?"

 Hu Yiman didn't expect at this time that he was a little surprised to see Xu Feng, the Great Qin Emperor, in Jiuyuan City.

 "Haha, that's great.

 You, the Emperor of Qin, are really stupid, how safe you are to stay in the castle to the south of you.

 How dare you run here now, you are looking for death!

 Soon, Shanyu the Great Hun will come with a large army, and you will be unable to escape with your wings.

 If you, the Emperor of Qin, are captured, the entire Qin people will become slaves of our Great Huns, and Qin will become our horse herding land. "

 Immediately, Hu Yiman burst into laughter with a wonderful expression.

 The translator next to him was too scared to translate when he heard what Huiman said.

 "What did he say, you translate it truthfully, I forgive you for your innocence."

 "promise."

 After hearing Xu Feng's words, the translator tremblingly translated Hu Yiman's words.

 On Qin Jun's side, many generals glared at Hu Yiman when they heard the translator's words, and they all wanted to rush up and kill him.

 It is extremely popular in this era for the master to humiliate his ministers to death.

 "What an arrogant barbarian, look for a fight.

 Your Majesty, let my minister teach this guy a lesson. "

 Some generals of the Qin army couldn't bear it anymore and begged Xu Feng.

 On the contrary, Xu Feng, after listening to Hu Yiman's words, was not too angry, his mood didn't fluctuate much, and he still had a stern face, not angry and majestic.

 "Hehe, you are now my captive, and you are so shameless that you still want to capture me. I don't know if you have lost your mind."

 Immediately, Xu Feng sneered.

 "Besides, you really don't have the consciousness to be a prisoner at all, regardless of whether you are the Right Wise King of the Huns or the Great Chanyu.

 Now that you have become my prisoner, you must obey me. To be a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of being a prisoner.

 It seems that no one taught you this before, barbarians are indeed barbarians.

 Coincidentally, I have a lot of time today, so I will teach you such a lesson. "

 After finishing speaking, Xu Feng tilted his head slightly, and said to Ma Chao: "Ma Chao, you captured him, and I will leave it to you to teach him.

 Give a stick of incense time before bringing him here.

 When the time comes, I will listen to what he has to say. "

 Ma Chao naturally understood what Xu Feng meant. Hu Yiman's words just now enraged him, and he wanted to rush over to teach him a lesson.

 "Don't worry, Your Majesty, give this humble minister a stick of incense, and I will definitely let him speak human words."

 After finishing speaking, Ma Chao dragged Hu Yiman, the right king of the Huns, with a grin.

 "What are you going to do?"

 Hu Yiman was dragged away by Ma Chao, looking at the indifferent and cruel eyes of Ma Chao and the people around him, he also panicked and shouted loudly.

 Too bad no one paid him any attention.

 "what!"

 After a short while, Huyman's miserable cry sounded not far away, and it lasted for a long time before stopping.

 When Ma Chao dragged Huiman over again, his previous arrogance was gone, and he became much more honest.

 "Your Majesty!"

 Ma Chao pressed him down and knelt in front of Xu Feng.

 "Can you speak human language now?" Xu Feng asked.

 "kindness."

 Immediately, Huiman nodded.

 He is not a person who is not afraid of death. Under Ma Chao's fist and death threats, Huiman no longer dared to be arrogant to Xu Feng.

 "Jia Xu, take him down and find out the details of the Xiongnu's military situation before the others enter the city."

 After Ma Chao led [-] Qin troops into the city, the carts they brought back with the army once again attracted everyone's attention.

 "Ma Chao, don't tell me, those big carts still contain the heads of the Huns."

 "Your Majesty, you guessed right, there are more than [-] heads of the Huns on it."

 "Haha, okay, go to the county office, I want to listen carefully to how you fought this battle.

 In addition, let your generals compile a list of meritorious service, and I will reward all the soldiers who have made military exploits. "

 Xu Feng smiled and said.

 In addition to the 3000 heads of the Huns sent back by Ma Chao, there are now more than [-] heads of the Huns in Jiuyuan City.

 Looking back to the Huns, on the 26th, Maodun led 20 Huns cavalry, left Xiping Pass, and rushed to Jiuyuan City.

 "In the past two days, why didn't the men and horses sent out send back women and livestock?"

 On the way, Mao Dun was in a bad mood and asked the generals under his command.

 "Return to the Great Chanyu, report according to the soldiers who went out to sweep.

 They searched for dozens of miles, and all the cities and villages of the Qin people were empty, and the people and animals were gone.

 Therefore, the soldiers failed to bring back more women and livestock. "

 A Hun general explained.

 "There are things like this, the people of Qin are ruthless enough.

 It turns out that they resisted us on the Great Wall for so many days because of this!

 It doesn't matter, when Ben Shanyu leads the army to destroy the Qin army and conquer Jiuyuan City, the entire Hetao will be ours.

 At that time, we could go south and cross the river at any time to rob women and livestock at will on the territory of the Qin people. "

 After listening to the explanation of his generals, Mao Dun Shanyu said so.

 "The Great Chanyu is exactly what he said."

 Although Mao Dun Shanyu is so confident, he has no conceit. He still attaches great importance to the Qin army, and sent a large number of sentry cavalry to investigate the movement of the Qin army.

 Therefore, the armies of the two armies have not yet fought, and the first to fight is indeed the sentry cavalry of the two armies.

 Rumble!

 In a field more than 30 miles away from the west gate of Jiuyuan City, two small groups of cavalry were chasing and fighting. One was the Huns cavalry and the other was the Qin cavalry.

 These two teams of cavalry were all scouts from the Qin army and the Huns.

 They were originally responsible for collecting intelligence, but they didn't expect to run into each other here.

 Then there is nothing to say, the two scout teams met and fought, the scale was not large, but it was equally tragic and wonderful.

 Whizzing!

 During the chase, the two cavalry kept shooting arrows at each other, but there was no collective charge like the large army.

 The scouts of the cavalry of the Qin Army were equipped with sabers, but they were not used very often.

 The most commonly used ones are bows and arrows, not arm crossbows, and they are not equipped with arm crossbows.

 Those who can be selected as scouts from the thousands of cavalry of the Qin army are all the most skilled in riding and archery.

 For cavalrymen like them with superb riding and archery skills, the bows and arrows in their hands are the most reliable.

 Arm crossbows are not suitable for them. Who would let arm crossbows change arrows immediately? It would be too troublesome.

 Even after the scouts of the Qin army and the scouts of the Huns met, the two sides did not rush to kill each other, but chased and shot each other and killed the enemy with arrows.

 This is very similar to the 'flying a kite' style of play of the Mongolians of later generations.

 Whizzing!

 The two scout teams chased and killed two sticks of incense on this grassland, and each paid the price of five or six casualties before giving up and retreating.

 Neither of the two sides took advantage of it, and neither was absolutely sure to keep the other side completely, so they could only retreat.

 There are also many small-scale sentry battles like this happening in other directions at this time.

 The battle between the main cavalry corps of the Huns and the main cavalry corps of the Qin Army started with these sentry cavalry.
