The people of Qin were still black, and hundreds of thousands of troops dressed in black armor headed north like Shura. Wherever they went, all the Xiongnu retreated, and none of them could resist the menacing Qin people who were red-eyed.

The Huns attacked the city several times but never gained the upper hand, and they were severely beaten once when the Qin army counterattacked. After learning enough lessons, the leaders of all tribes gathered together to make a new strategy and prepare for a comeback.

The people of Wei sent a letter saying that the person stationed at Yanmen is the son of Zhao Guo, and now it is the territory of Qin State, how can he guard the city wholeheartedly, Zhao people and Qin people coexist peacefully, just kidding!

If we don't take advantage of this moment to attack Yanmen, when will we wait?

So, when they aggressively tried to win Yanmen Pass, they unexpectedly lost several games in a row and were beaten out of Yanmen Shangjun, and they couldn't even stay in Yunzhong.

This is different from what they imagined!

Of course, things will not be as they imagined.

Bows and crossbows are always the best weapons against cavalry, and Qin has the strongest bows and crossbows in the world.

Wang Ben led the arrow array at the head, light armor and heavy armor followed closely behind, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were ambushing behind and on the two wings, while the most elite cavalry of Daqin circled behind, and directly cut off the retreat when they could not react in time. The Xiongnu cavalry was forced to be separated, and then wiped out by the Qin army twice as many as them.

The bows and crossbows of the Qin State swept away in a wave, even the elite cavalry could only bear the bullet. The bows and crossbowmen hid behind the heavy armored soldiers. The rain of arrows coming up.

The Huns suffered heavy losses, and the Qin army was not much better than them. The life-and-death struggle in the ice and snow was completely a life-for-life style of play. Even if all the plans were made in advance, the tens of thousands of horses who left the customs only came back. Sixty-seven out of ten.

The cold winter has faded along with the war, but the chill atmosphere in the north has not dissipated. The weather is already warming up, and it will be time for spring plowing in two months.

Under the Yin Mountain, Meng Tian and Wang Ben met and were about to cross the Yellow River and bring the two banks under the jurisdiction of Daqin.

Although Yunzhong and Jiuyuan counties belong to Great Qin in name, they have been occupied by the Huns for decades. There are not many people there, and they are looted every year. days will be even more difficult.

There is a flat river here, which is really suitable for cavalry to fight. Although they have powerful crossbows to restrain cavalry, once the Huns reach the north bank of the Yellow River, they can no longer surround them with the convenience of more soldiers and horses as before, and bows and crossbows will not be able to dispatch them. Come in handy.

After suffering such a big loss before, the opponent has already learned to be smart. When they saw the bow and crossbow soldiers, they slapped their horses ass and ran fast. No matter how lethal the bow and crossbow were, they had to catch up with them to be useful.

There are not many soldiers who can shoot bows and arrows on horseback. Even if the horses in their army have more saddles and stirrups than the Huns, it is still not enough to catch up with the Huns who grew up on horseback in just a few years.

As for the light armored infantry, fighting against cavalry on the endless plains is to give someone a head. Even if they can win occasionally, they run away when they see that the situation is not right. Once they lose the wind, they can't escape. It is a heavy loss.

Relying on cavalry alone is still a bit difficult.

Sitting on the horseback and looking at the rushing water of the Yellow River, Meng Tian shook his head and sighed. If Ah Zhi was there, the situation would be much better. Although Cang Yun is in heavy armor, they are different from ordinary heavy armor soldiers. They move extremely fast. Quickly, Mo Dao turned and cut the horse's legs again. When the cavalry encountered them, they couldn't even run away. The cavalry without the horse would have to be slaughtered by them in the end.

If Ah Zhi had tens of thousands of Xuanjia Cangyun under his command, why would they be afraid of the Huns?

Those who can enter Cangyun are one of a thousand people, but they are only a thousand people in total. No matter how strong they are, they will not be able to gain the upper hand in the face of cavalry dozens of times their size. too much.

There are still not enough soldiers and horses!

Wang Ben, who rode his horse from not far away, saw Meng Tian staring at the Yellow River without moving, frowned, and rode the horse to his side, "Is there something strange here?"

"Not at all." Meng Tian regained his composure, brushing away his somewhat messy hair blown by the wind, and then turned to look at Wang Ben, "When are we going to send troops?"

The weather is getting warmer, and the Yellow River is gradually thawing. The boats have been transported here. As long as conditions permit, they can cross the river at any time.

Wang Ben, who has a few years more experience than Mengtian, is calm and composed. Although the two of them are a little different in age, they both have a father who is a general of the Qin State, so it can be regarded as friendship since childhood.

After walking along the river for a while, Wang Ben turned his head and signaled Meng Tian to follow, "The situation on the other side of the river is still unknown, and we can discuss the matter of crossing the river after the scouts come back."

The situation on both sides of the strait is too different. It is not easy to cross the Yellow River, and it is even more difficult to repel the Xiongnu.

The two were talking, when a fast horse came galloping in the distance, Meng Tian took a look at it, then threw off the whip and went up, "Why are you so flustered?"

The messenger who hurried over got off his horse, handed over a small bamboo tube and said out of breath, "General Meng, the Huns cavalry invaded Jiuyuan. If there is no support, they will not be able to defend."

Yanmen in Yunzhong of Jiuyuan, among the three places, only Yanmen has been under their protection. Now that Yunzhong County has been taken back, the Xiongnu turned to attack Jiuyuan in a desperate struggle, fearing that they would lose too much. Only by looting in the city of Jiuyuan County can we return to the grassland.

A look of sternness flashed in his eyes, Meng Tian turned around and put the silk with the message back into the bamboo tube, and then threw it into Wang Ben's hand forcefully, "If the Huns hadn't led us there on purpose, it would be a real battle of trapped beasts, and there is no way out. Let's go."

Glancing at the message written above, Wang Ben said in a deep voice, "Go back to the camp, re-negotiate the matter of crossing the river, and send a message to the Jiuyuan defenders. It only takes two more days for the reinforcements to arrive. Don't let the Huns enter the city."

After suffering such a big loss at their hands, if it is just a siege, once they enter the city, I am afraid that the whole city will only be left with a pile of ashes. They should be aware of the cruelty of the Huns.

The messengers left quickly after receiving the order, and Meng Tian and Wang Ben also quickly returned to the camp. The gate has been camped here for three days. Unexpectedly, in three days, General Li Mu will be able to reach Yunzhong County.

At that time, the two armies will go to Jiuyuan at the same time. Even if they cannot wipe out the Xiongnu, they will be able to take back the Jiuyuan area.

Now it seems that they have to act first, and then wait for General Li Mu to come over.

Knowing that the matter in Jiuyuan area was urgent, Meng Tian and Wang Ben didn't waste time. After returning to the camp, they immediately called other generals to discuss the matter. Wang Ben alone was enough in the camp. After saying a few words, Meng Tian took the lead to take the Twenty thousand cavalry crossed the river to Jiuyuan.

Regardless of whether the Xiongnu were desperate or deliberately lured them over, there was no delay here. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were not too many, but they were not too few either. Even if there was an ambush on the road, they would not be powerless to resist.

Breaking through the ice that hadn't completely melted, [-] cavalry quickly arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River. Meng Tian had never been here before, even with a simple map drawn by the predecessors, they dare not take it lightly.

The grassland is the most suitable place for cavalry to march, but there is a fatal disadvantage in the flat plains, that is, it is easy to get lost.

Even though he had never made a mistake in identifying the way, in this kind of place, Meng Tian didn't dare to be arrogant. Fortunately, he asked Qiangxian to ask for a lot of Lin Hu cavalry. They are familiar with the terrain of the grassland, so it shouldn't delay too much.

But soon, Meng Tian gave up the idea of ​​using Linhu cavalry to lead the way, because the Huns soldiers ambushing on the grassland could take them where they wanted to go.

After arriving at the north bank, they walked along the direction for only one day. On the night they camped and rested, Huns soldiers who tried to sneak attack appeared outside.

The fire illuminated the entire camp, because there were not many of them, and reinforcements would follow immediately behind, so everyone only carried ten days' rations, marched lightly, and had no horses and chariots to escort food and grass.

The sneak attackers wanted to set fire to the warehouse for storing grain and grass, but they didn't expect that there was no such thing. After a few circles in the dark, they were shot by the soldiers who had been staring at them early in the morning, and their hearts were chilled.

In order to prevent any accidents at night, everyone in the camp did not fall asleep. They will reach Jiuyuan Border Town in two days. If there is an ambush, these two nights are the best time. Of course, it is better if there is no ambush.

Holding the spear from someone who didn't know, Meng Tian sneered and looked at the corpses of the Huns dragged from everywhere, and twisted his neck to cheer everyone up.

Those who took the lead had already sneaked in, and those outside were definitely waiting for the barracks to become chaotic, and they would become "chaotic" after a while, and if they didn't cheer up and hurt their own people, they would all be punished when they went back.

I don’t know where people are still hiding in the camp. There are too many of them, and the encircled camp is also big. It’s normal to have places that you don’t notice. After waiting for a while, no one came again. Meng Tian put down the spear on his shoulder and said, “Put your bags away.” Pack it all up and light the fire."

Still have the energy to set up an ambush on the way they came, which means that the situation in Jiuyuan is not as dangerous as it seems on the surface, that is to say, they can spend more time taking these soldiers down.

The fire quickly ignited in the camp. Looking from a distance, there were many people in the camp, as if they were busy saving the camp, but they were far away from the water source, and the little water left in the camp was not enough to reduce the fire. , the flames were even more intense after a gust of wind blew past.

Knowing that the people inside had succeeded, the soldiers who were staring at the place outside became very emotional, and rushed into the burning barracks one by one with long knives and shouting.

The black-armored soldiers who had been prepared for a long time showed fierce eyes, and after they rushed in, they fought with weapons. Although they were cavalry, their ability to fight with knives was no worse than others.

In order to prevent the horses from being frightened, some people took advantage of the night to take the horses and their bags to a distant place. In today's big camp, except for the empty tents that are still burning, only those who want to commit crimes in the future will be chopped off by the sword. black armored soldier.

It seems that they came across the river in a hurry without much preparation, and the chances of a sneak attack after nightfall are greater, so the total number of Hun soldiers in this wave was only 5000. When the scouts who were released to check came back, they determined the number of intruders. Meng Tian Wiping the corners of his mouth hard, he took the weapon and led the soldiers who had never moved behind him and headed outside.

Since they are all heading towards the big camp, I'm sorry if they don't fight together with Baoyuan, they don't rest all night and wait here for these people.

The light of the knife and the fire continued all night along with Shen's screams. The soldiers who were sneaking in realized something was wrong after rushing in. The Qin soldiers waiting for them didn't seem to gather in a panic, but more like waiting for them here early in the morning.

Realizing that something was wrong, the Xiongnu soldiers who reacted very quickly were about to retreat, but when they turned their heads, the retreat was blocked, and the murderous black armored soldiers blocked the way they came, and the point of the flashing arrow pointed at them .

Even though they knew that there were other Qin soldiers in the camp and that these arrows would not come, the Xiongnu soldiers still felt cold, and after looking at each other for a few times, they roared and continued to fight.

No matter how brave the army is, there will be cowardly villains. Not everyone is afraid of death. Before dawn, many Hun soldiers who tried to escape and were captured were tied up around Meng Tian.

Looking at the messy camp, Meng Tian waved his hand and left some people to clean up the mess, and then led people to join up with other soldiers.

After a fierce battle in the winter, there were not many soldiers of the Xiongnu who were still capable of fighting. With so many people left in ambush here, the siege certainly would not try their best.

After a day of repairing and counting the casualties, Meng Tian only took half of the troops and continued to rush to Jiuyuan, and the rest of the people slowed down and waited for Wang Ben or Li Mu's army to come.

Having captured so many Xiongnu soldiers, it is not too difficult to get some news out of their mouths. The tribes of the Huns are not peaceful at all. Only when they invade the Central Plains on a large scale will they cooperate sincerely. Cannibalism.

It is not uncommon for large and small tribes to annex each other. Betrayal is very common among the Huns. Even if they are desperate when fighting together, they can stab each other without blinking when they leave the battlefield.

Learned a lot of tricks from General Li Mu, Meng Tian didn't take much effort to get the news he wanted. As for the Huns who were no longer useful, they tied them up and threw them back to stay with the horses. Let's wait until the army is assembled.

The battle in the Northland was in full swing, and food and grass were continuously escorted over. Meng Wu, who was stationed in Nanyang and stared at the Chu State, also quickly moved.

The king of Qin accepted the peace letter from the king of Chu, took over the land west of Qingyang and stopped sending troops for the time being, and the Qin army that was originally guarding the Great Wall outside Pingyu also retreated half, showing full sincerity in front of the king of Chu.

One wave after another, just as the Qin army retreated, Lord Changping of Yingdu established himself as the king of Chu, trying to lead his troops to attack the hinterland of Chu State, killing the king-killer and rectifying the trend of Chu State.

Mr. Changping knew very little about the affairs of the Chu State, but his identity was here. Even if he stayed in the Qin State, he was the eldest son of the King of Chu. It was only natural that he wanted to return to the country to inherit the throne, and the Xiang family supported him. Door.

Mr. Chang'an, who was following Mr. Changping, had no time to do anything. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, Mr. Changping, who was defenseless against him, changed his position. Before Cheng Yu could react, the state of Qin in Yingdu The officials all evacuated to neighboring counties.

Li Xin and Qin Bing, who had been waiting for a long time, arranged the officials, and then drove Changping Jun and the Chu people around him out of Yingdu with lightning speed.

Although this is the old capital of the Chu State, it is now the land of the Qin State. The identities of the King of Chu and the Xiangbang of the State of Qin can only be chosen. Since you want to be the King of Chu, it is not suitable to stay in the city of the State of Qin. .

Mr. Changping knew that there would be some twists and turns, but he didn't expect it to be like this. He didn't hunt him down and ask him for the crime, but instead drove him...out of Yingdu?

I was afraid that this was a whim decision made by Li Xin and others, and King Qin would send troops to stop them when he heard the news. Lord Changping didn't say anything, and after seeing the Xiang clan, he didn't go back to Chu State.

Yan Zhi, who returned to Xianyang with the withdrawn soldiers and horses, heard the news and once again felt that it was a good idea for Li Xin to deal with Chu.

Chu people can make troubles, and he can make troubles better than Chu people. It is perfect for one harm to reduce another harm.

Mr. Changping thought it was a stupid thing that Li Xin was provoked, but he didn't know that Li Xin's real goal was to let him return to Chu.

If there was only one king in Chu State, Lord Changping would not return to Chu State so easily. When the two clashed, who should the people of the country turn to?

The two kings are fighting, and the clans stand in line. How many soldiers and horses can the Chu State, which is already riddled with holes, go through this chaos to fight against the Qin army? They just wait a little longer, and they can easily win Wouldn't the state of Chu be much better than facing the soldiers and civilians of the state of Chu who were angry with the same enemy?

Retreating back to Xianyang with a gesture of concession, Yan Zhi calculated the time and found that if the current situation continues, it may not take ten years for the Great Qin to rule the world.

When Ying Zheng was crowned emperor at a younger age, he would devote more energy to the people of the world. In this way, how could Da Qin have the chance to perish in the second generation?

Farming in Guanzhong and Shuzhong was booming. Qin State’s warehouses were filled with grain, and Xianyang’s business travelers continued to pour in. After Qi State’s Linzi, Xianyang was steadily developing towards the most prosperous city in the world.

The road does not pick up and the door is not closed at night, the people of the country are vying for war, and the warlike style of the Qin people has not changed a bit.

The unification of Qin State was unstoppable. After the fall of Zhao State, Yan State was panicked. Although Qin State did not seem to have the idea of ​​sending troops immediately, but Yan and Zhao were adjacent, and Zhao State was destroyed. Yan State would definitely not be able to keep it.

The state of Chu is in civil strife. At this moment, it is only necessary to prevent the state of Qin from not sending troops, and other things can't be controlled so much. However, the state of Yan and the state of Qi are not so big-minded. The monarch can't sit still.

When the army returns, it will be too late to do anything.

King Qi had long since lost his desire to resist Qin, and most of the ministers in the country were bribed by Qin, so he had always firmly believed that as long as he was in Qi State, Qin State would not do anything.

Ying Zheng didn't want to break the illusion in King Qi's eyes now, so he just let him go. Now there are two countries, Yan and Chu, and it's good for all parties that Qi can stay peacefully by the side.

Unlike the self-deceiving King Qi, King Yan knew that Qin State would not stop at this point. In order to keep most of the land, after many days of quarreling in the court, he still had to reluctantly cut off Dukang, the richest piece of land in Yan State.

They can't defeat Qin, so they can only survive by ceding land.

Dukang is one of the few fertile lands in the country of Yan, which almost provides food for the entire country of Yan. If there is a way, the king of Yan will never give this piece of land to the country of Qin, even if he agrees under the persuasion of the officials, I also felt distressed and did not go to court for several days.

Yan Zhi was chatting with Ying Zheng in the palace when the news came from the spies of Yan State. Of course, even if they were chatting, they never deviated from the battle.

After reading the news written on the silk cloth, Ying Zheng curled his lips and smiled. He was very happy with Yan Wang Ji Xi's sense of humor, but Yan still wanted to fight. Qin had already reached this stage, how could it be possible? Still leaving them alive?

Before he started fighting, Ji Xi sent the land of Dukang over. Without the danger of the Taihang to the west of Dukang, he felt that the Qin Congress would miss this great opportunity. Moreover, there were not only grain, salt, iron, forests, horses, and horses in that area. With so many things handed over to Qin State, what is left of Yan State?

Having been in power for so many years, Ji Xi is really confused.

Yan Zhi looked at Ying Zheng, who had a more obvious smile on his face, and waited for the man to put down the silk cloth with the message on it before asking, "What's wrong?"

Picking up a brush to write something on the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Prince Yan wants to dedicate Dukang to the Qin State. The envoys have already set off from Jidu, and they will arrive in Xianyang in a few days."

Although Du Kang was only fifty li in radius, it was the most important barrier for Yan State to occupy the enemy. Therefore, without Du Kang, Yan State would surely perish. He never thought that Ji Xi would be so stupid as to agree to the idea of ​​the officials.

If there is a king like this, who will perish if the country of Yan does not perish?

There are people from the state of Qin who are above the court of the state of Yan. Although they can muddy the water in the court, it is Ji Xi on the throne who makes the final decision. If the land of Dukang is really sent over, it was originally prepared for the state of Yan With an army of 40, I'm afraid not even half of it will be needed.

Although the king of Yan State is incompetent and has no generals to use, the soldiers are different. In just twenty years, Ji Xi is not enough to smooth out the edges and corners of the soldiers of Yan State.

Decades ago, Yan's army fought against the Huns and the Huns in the north all the year round, and from time to time they also fought with the neighboring Qi and Zhao.

Being able to endure 800 years in the bitter cold of the borderlands, he is naturally not a softie like Ji Xi who is pampered in the capital and doesn't care about world affairs.

Hearing this somewhat familiar place, Yan Zhi rubbed his temples, recalling when he had heard this place name before.

Without disturbing the man's contemplation, Ying Zheng put the bamboo slips aside and squeezed his thumbs, "Ji Dan found a ranger to go to Xianyang with the envoy, and I'm afraid he has other ideas."

"Ranger?" Looking at Ying Zheng with raised eyebrows, something seemed to flash through Yan Zhi's mind, but the clues came and went in a hurry, and he couldn't think of anything again.

Sitting upright and looking at the people next to him, Ying Zhengyou explained, "The person Ji Dan recommended to King Yan is named Jing Ke."

Jing Ke? ! !

A dark light flashed in his eyes, Yan Zhi clenched his fist unconsciously, and then made a cold arc, "Jing Ke...interesting..."

The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone. Since he is here, don't even think about leaving Xianyang this time.

Without Fan Yuqi's head, Ji Dan still found Jing Ke. It is absolutely impossible to succeed in assassinating the King of Qin. Ah Zheng was really scared, and he didn't mind leading troops to Yan Kingdom himself.

A flash of hostility flashed in his eyes, Yan Zhi pursed his lips tightly, and the expression on his face became even colder.

The author says:

Brother Zheng: It's just Jing Ke, who can't scare the widows.

Ah Zhi: No, it can scare you. Jing Ke is famous for assassinating the Qin Dynasty. It is written in all history books. Don't be brave!

Brother Zheng: ... (Who exactly ruined the reputation of the widow!)
