Daqin Engineering Corps

Chapter 474 Split

In this battle, the Qin army made a rough statistics, annihilating a total of more than [-] Huns, and the Qin army lost more than [-] people.

The reason why it is called "rough statistics" is that, except for the Pu Lei Army, the rest of the armies do not count meritorious deeds based on head counts, so it is impossible to count the number of enemies killed.

In terms of credit, it should be the Pu Lei Army who contributed the most, but the Western Region Army killed the most enemies.

The reason why it is said that the Pu Lei Army made the greatest contribution is that it fought 8000 enemies with [-] people and was able to behead more than [-] people. The number of enemies killed was several times the number of casualties.

The Western Region Army led by Wang Ben had [-] troops against the enemy's [-].

The army of the Western Regions surrounded [-] Huns and beheaded more than [-] prisoners and [-] prisoners, and then beheaded and killed thousands more while chasing deserters.

However, the Western Regions Army can only be counted on the heads of the countries because they did not implement the system of [-] military merit titles.

Wang Ben took advantage of this time to give some publicity to the soldiers of the Western Regions:

"If you are under the rule of the Qin army, you can be promoted to the first rank if you cut off a head today."

"Collective theory can be upgraded to another level."

"Among them, there are those who beheaded several people, I'm afraid they can be promoted to three levels in a row."

"The allocated fields are enough for a family of five to live comfortably."

"However... what a pity! What a pity!"

Of course, Wang Ben's words had ulterior motives, but the cavalry in the Western Regions liked it very much.

The reason is that except for the cavalry of Kucha, Loulan, and Gushi who have implemented the military merit system, the rest are still slaves.

The military exploits and benefits obtained under slavery belonged to the princes and nobles. It would be considered good if they could leave some Xiongnu swords, clothing and other spoils of war. How could they dare to expect titles or fiefdoms.

If other countries are like them, that is, everyone is the same, then there is nothing to say.

But now not only the Qin army, but even several countries such as Qiuci have military merit systems that can be rewarded, but they cannot.

As the saying goes, "people are more angry than people", how could they be reconciled to this, so they asked to join the Qin army one after another.

At this time, Wang Ben pretended to hesitate:

"But... we are just an alliance. If we take the soldiers of the alliance for our own use, how dare the countries dare to give military power to our army?"

"No, no!"

Wang Ben hit the point.

No matter what Qin Jun did, he would not blatantly take over his military power at this time.

Otherwise, the Western Regions will be on fire in the rear before the Huns are destroyed, and it will only end up in a bad situation.

After thinking about it, Wang Ben said:

"If that's not the case, I'll write down your credit first."

"One day, if you convince your king to join the Qin army, then you will be rewarded for your merits!"

The soldiers of the Western Regions agreed one after another.

They didn't realize at all that it was Wang Ben who planted landmines for the countries... After these soldiers returned, how could they persuade the country to join the Qin army and get consent?

If they disagree and these soldiers are unwilling to give up these credits, and the Qin army cannot accept them because they want to keep their promises...there is only one way, and that is to overthrow their respective kings.

Wang Ben came out of the melting pot of military strategy in the Central Plains, so this little trick is not a trivial matter for him.

However, the countries in the Western Regions rarely use strategies because of the relatively closed oasis culture, so of course they are not their opponents.

Right Xian Wang Xunyun is still on the way to escape.

However, at this time, he didn't know where to flee.

To the west is the Western Regions, to the south is the Central Plains, to the east and north is the territory of Maodun Chanyu...

It is said that Xun Yun should undoubtedly flee to the east and north.

The subordinates also subconsciously ran in these two directions.

However, Xun Yun hesitated alone:

"Last time because he disobeyed orders and lost to the Qin army in the Western Regions, Shan Yu was unhappy."

"This trip did not follow Shan Yu's order to attack the Qin army..."

"How can Shan Yu spare me?"

"If fewer soldiers were lost, Shan Yu might not take it seriously."

"However, this trip has lost more than [-] troops!"

It is normal that the statistics of the Qin army and the Xiongnu are not correct.

The Qin army thought they had wiped out more than [-] people, but the Xiongnu scattered and fled in all directions. Many Hun soldiers took this opportunity to hide and never returned to the army, so King Youxian only said that more than [-] people were lost.

In other words, King Youxian's army has lost its combat effectiveness and can no longer fight.

In this way, how could Maodun Shanyu spare King Youxian?

Even if he wanted to boost morale again, Mao Dun Shanyu would have to kill Youxian Wang Liwei, otherwise how would he confess to the more than [-] dead and injured soldiers?

What's more, King Youxian fled before the battle, and Mao Dun Shanyu had every reason to kill him.

Thinking of this, King Youxian reined in his horse and stopped.

Seeing this, the subordinates couldn't help asking in doubt:

"Why did King Youxian stop?"

Xun Xun replied:

"Qin Jun's goal is Dragon City, and he won't chase me too far. We don't have to worry about life and death for now."

The subordinate thought it was right, but after thinking about it, he asked again:

"But aren't we going to join forces with Shan Yu?"

"In addition, we must warn Shan Yu that the Qin army's cavalry will double in strength with harnesses..."

Xun Xun didn't answer and asked instead:

"In your opinion, even if we warn Shanyu, can Shanyu hold Dragon City?"

The subordinates were taken aback, then shook their heads one after another:

"Our army has always been good at riding and fighting but not good at defending the city."

"Now that even the cavalry battle has been defeated by the Qin army, Dragon City cannot defend itself."

Xun Xun asked again:

"If even Shanyu can't defend Dragon City, what can we do if we go to join Shanyu?"

"Aren't you going to be defeated by the Qin army again?"

All the subordinates were speechless, and thinking of the performance of the Qin army on the battlefield and its terrifying combat effectiveness, they were afraid of each other.

It is normal to be afraid. They always thought that they were the kings of the grassland, but they were beaten into dogs by Qin Jun in the most confident aspect.

As the saying goes, "the higher you climb, the harder you fall".

For the Huns, this was not only a matter of winning or losing a battle, but also a matter of their self-confidence being shattered with a single blow.

If before they thought that the Huns were only "losing" against the Qin army, now they just want to survive.

After hesitating for a while, the subordinate asked:

"Then, according to King Youxian, it is..."

Xun Xun continued:

"We are powerless to return to heaven, so why not just garrison here and wait and see what happens."

"Shan Yu wins, and I won't be too late to meet him again."

These subordinates were originally feared by the Qin army, but now they had no reason to disagree when they heard what Xun Yun said, and they all nodded in agreement.

But someone asked again:

"Youxian King, what if Shanyu is defeated by the Qin army?"

Xun Xun only replied:

"discuss later!"

Although Xun Xun didn't say it clearly, all the subordinates already knew it clearly.

As a part of the Xiongnu, Shan Yu should go to the rescue if he is in trouble, even if he goes through fire and water, he will not hesitate.

But now Xun Yun intends to station troops here, which is already a capital offense.

In other words, it meant that Xun Yun had to get out of Shan Yu's control.

As for the plan after leaving, only Xun Xun knows.

Chapter 475 The Northwest

The idea of ​​Xun Xun is actually very simple:

What is the plan after breaking away from Maodun Chanyu should be determined by the extent of Maodun Shanyu's defeat.

If Maodun Shanyu was defeated by the Qin army and his strength was no longer there, then Xun Yun would no longer need to be afraid of Shanyu. He, the wise king of the right, gathered the remnant soldiers and gathered an army of [-] to go north to seize resources.

It is not impossible to even take Maodun Shanyu and replace it.

But if Maodun Shanyu still has strength, then Youxian King can only think of other ways.

Therefore, at this time, King Youxian even strictly ordered his subordinates not to warn Maodun Shanyu.

He hoped that Mao Dun would not know the new tactics of the Qin army, so he would fight the Qin army rashly and be defeated by the Qin army like him, or even be wiped out by the Qin army.

When the Qin army was unable to go north for a while, he would be able to act as Shan Yu in Mobei.

However, what Xun Yun didn't expect was that his cavalry army was defeated by the Qin army and fled in all directions, and naturally some of them fled to the east to meet with Maodun.

When Mao Dun heard that King Youxian's [-] army violated orders and was defeated in a battle with the Qin army, he was really furious.

He was so angry that he pulled out his scimitar and split the desk in half, cursing:

"Well, you smoker, you have disobeyed orders again and again."

"After this defeat today, if I spare you, how can I convince the public?"

However, after Mao Dun Shanyu asked about the defeat of Youxian King in detail, Mao Dun Shanyu calmed down instead.

After a while, Mao Dun Shanyu gave the order:

"Change the marching direction and head to Dragon City!"

The subordinates responded with a bang and acted according to the order.

Zuo Xianwang Ji Porridge asked curiously:

"Shan Yu, our army is good at riding and fighting."

"Even if we know that the Qin army is going to take Longcheng, we should not rush to Longcheng to defend to the death, but should intercept and kill the Qin army on the way."

"Why does Shan Yu want to go to Dragon City..."

Mao Dun Shanyu sighed and said:

"Do you think our army can still defend Dragon City?"

Ji Porridge was shocked:

"What does Shan Yu mean... our army abandoned Dragon City?"

"Isn't the vast grassland south of Longcheng completely owned by the Qin army?"

Then Ji Porridge said unwillingly:

"We still have 20 people who control strings, why can't we fight the Qin army?"

Mao Dun Shanyu shook his head and said:
