The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 328: Thousands of miles of beacon smoke, chasing death and chasing the north

early morning.

Outside Yunzhong City, the Huns camped.

The 50,000 Hu cavalry in Yunzhong serve as a partial division. Their main purpose is to lure Meng Tian's army from Jiuyuan to come to the rescue. As for Prince Qin in Yunzhong City, it was just a choice between them. It didn't matter whether he could fight or not. Firstly, they had no intention of doing this, and secondly, the walls of Yunzhong City were higher and stronger than they thought, so a strong attack would inevitably lead to heavy losses.

In the past few days, the Huns' army had only made several symbolic attacks.

After a night's rest, Xiongnu soldiers came out of their tents one after another, bent down to do the splits, relaxed their muscles and bones, led their horses and bent their bows, and conducted morning training.

It was a quiet morning. The gates of Yunzhong City to the south were still closed, and the situation on the city wall could not be seen clearly in the clouds and mist. From time to time, Hun soldiers pointed in the direction of the city and laughed at the group of shrinking turtles.

Different from the relaxed and casual expressions of the soldiers, in the large tent where the Xiongnu were discussing matters, the leaders of each department frowned and gathered together without saying a word. The Xiongnu commander placed all his elite troops on the right wing, in the direction of Jiuyuan, to detect and resist reinforcements there.

It's just that so many days have passed, not to mention Meng Tian's reinforcements, not even the shadow of the Sentinel Cavalry has been seen. This had to make a group of Xiongnu senior officials suspicious.

Hundreds of miles deep into enemy territory, the Xiongnu leaders were cautious every step they took.

But as time goes by, things start to look more and more wrong. The leaders of the Xiongnu tribes were all strong men who fought in the grassland and desert of Saibei, and they had a keen sense of crisis.

The territory in Yunzhong is really too peaceful, so peaceful that it feels weird.

Meng Tian's cavalry unit in Jiuyuan only took three days for the vanguard to arrive. However, five days had passed since they received the information that Meng Tian was gathering troops to set off, and there was a full two days more, but there was no movement at all in the direction of Jiuyuan.

But if Meng Tian's army didn't come to Jiuyuan, where did they go?

The leader in the big tent was sitting in his seat, his face was gloomy, but he didn't say a word, but he was getting more and more anxious in his heart.

"Report!"

With an urgent call, all the Hun leaders stood up.

"Is there any news from Jiuyuan?" A rough and arrogant man shouted loudly. He is the leader of the Huns Tuoba tribe and the commander-in-chief of the Xiongnu armies this time, Tuoba Shu.

The leaders of the various tribes were very eager to get information that would be beneficial to them from this detective.

Looking at the wolf-like and tiger-like leaders of the various tribes, Tan Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Let me tell you, sir, a small number of cavalry suddenly appeared in the northeast of the camp, numbering about two to three thousand."

"Northeast? That's the direction of Yuanyang City! What's going on? There are ten thousand troops there. How did these troops come here?"

However, before the leaders of the tribes had finished being surprised, there was another urgent message outside the tent.

"I am reporting to you sirs that a large group of cavalry suddenly attacked from the southeast of Yunzhong City. The banners covered the sun. It is estimated that the number of people is about 10,000."

"How is it possible that these southern barbarians still have so many cavalry?" A leader of the Huns grabbed the last cavalry and scolded him.

No matter how crazy the leaders of the tribes were, Tuoba Shu sighed, "We have fallen into a trap."

The Tuoba Tribe was originally a large tribe among the Donghu tribe, and Tuoba Shu was a famous vulture shooter in the grassland. Because he had been saved by the leader of the Lan clan among the three surnames of the Xiongnu in his early years, in order to repay the favor, he came here with five thousand athletes from the tribe and a small Xiongnu tribe who wanted to fight against the autumn wind.

But now, the situation has become extremely bad.

Woo woo........

A thick horn sound came, which added fuel to the fire in the hearts of the Xiongnu leaders.

"What's wrong again?"

Soon a soldier came in and replied: "The Qin army has left the city!"

The soldier's tone was very hesitant, as if he couldn't believe what he just saw was true.

The Qin army left the city?

How could the Qin army leave the city?

How dare the Qin army leave the city?

Questions appeared in the minds of all the Xiongnu leaders one by one. They followed Tuoba Shu out of the tent and came to the front of the battle line.

In the mist, rows of Qin troops walked out of the Yunzhong City Gate and lined up beside the city wall.

"What happened to Qin Jun?"

After several days of fighting, the leaders of the Xiongnu didn't know how many defenders there were in Yunzhong City. They were only three to four thousand at most.

Such a number of people is not enough to defend, let alone attack?

"Look, that's Prince Qin's banner."

A Hun leader shouted loudly. As the sun shines, the fog dissipates, and among the Qin army, the huge red background and black edge moiré flag is extremely conspicuous. Prince Qin actually left the city in person?

However, in the face of such a situation, instead of showing eagerness to try, the faces of the Xiongnu leaders showed deep suspicion.

This situation is too abnormal!

Because he once defeated Touman at the foot of Wuchecheng, Prince Qin's reputation among the barbarians was nothing more than the image of a cruel, suspicious, and cunning evil ghost.

But how could such a person take the initiative if he didn't hide behind a thick city wall?

As the last centurion walked out of the city gate, the city gate closed. However, there was a huge gap between the hundreds of troops, but there was only one big bamboo pole.

"What is Prince Qin's plan? Where are they?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xiongnu people saw that at the moment the city gates closed, a huge wooden platform flew out from behind the city wall, with the force of a falcon pouncing on food. Just when it was about to touch the ground, the high platform slowly landed on the ground like a feather, in front of the giant bamboo pole.

There are sixteen lifts on the front, back, left and right, and 256 masters carry this high platform. There is a dazzling golden throne placed on it, and a man wearing a black nine-piece crown is sitting on it.

The horn sounded.

Thirty centurions and three thousand Qin troops guarded the man on the high platform and slowly moved towards the Xiongnu camp.

The Qin army left the range of the crossbows on the city wall, left the range of the bed crossbows, and walked over slowly.

Maybe it was because Ying Ziyi's appearance was too impressive, or maybe the Huns leaders were still hesitant about what they had up their sleeves. Therefore, it was not until the three thousand Qin troops were only one mile away from the Xiongnu camp that they reacted with embarrassment.

"Is Prince Qin crazy?" a Xiongnu general blurted out, his face still looking confused.

Most of the Xiongnu cavalry are archers. Under normal circumstances, no Xiongnu cavalry will lead their men to charge towards the Qin army's infantry array.

This is not much different from committing suicide.

However, this also depends on the numerical difference between the enemy and ourselves!

There are a total of 30,000 people on my side, but the other party only has 3,000 people!

The Qin army was only one mile away from the Xiongnu camp, blocking the door of people's houses and setting up a circular formation.

That posture has only one meaning, come and hit me!

"Prince Qin bullies me and the Huns have no regard for me!"

Around Tuoba Shu, the young Huns generals were filled with indignation and asked for battle one after another. However, Tuoba Technique is still hesitating.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty has arrived. If you, the barbarians, don't turn around and disarm, come and surrender as soon as possible!"

While Tuoba Shu was hesitating, the three thousand Qin troops spoke in unison and shouted loudly.

"Submit your sister!"

At this time, Tuoba Shu's anger also rose. As a vulture shooter on the grassland, he had never suffered from such bird air.

Tuoba Shu waved his hand: "Everyone, whoever can take the head of Prince Qin will be the husband of my daughter Tuoba Yue!"

Tuoba Shu has a beautiful daughter who is known as the most beautiful girl in Donghu. She is not yet married. All the Xiongnu generals had heard this for a long time, and upon hearing this, they were all eager to give it a try.

Not to mention that it will take some time for the reinforcements of the Qin Army to arrive here. Even if they all arrive, these Xiongnu generals will not be afraid.

After a group of Xiongnu generals left the camp, Tuoba Shu summoned the guards around him and ordered: "Recall all the 10,000 people on our right wing and let them guard the retreat."

"yes!"

On the throne, Ying Ziyi watched the Huns cavalry roaring out of the camp one by one, gradually surrounding his three thousand troops, and said disdainfully: "What a stupid Hu people, they are more powerful than chicken legs." I can’t resist teasing.”

The Xiongnu cavalry was so numerous that on the entire battlefield, Ying Ziyi's three thousand Qin soldiers looked like a lonely boat in the sea.

Standing outside the battlefield, the flag of the Qin army could not even be seen. More than ten thousand barbarians rolled up smoke and dust all over the sky, roaring around the Qin army's array, and kept galloping.

Hu Qi bent his bow and set an arrow, and countless arrows flew from the sky. The three thousand Qin soldiers placed the long shields in their hands above their heads. In a tight array, the rows of long shields were neatly closed together, leaving no gaps.

However, Ying Ziyi, who was in the middle, had no protection at all on the high platform.

Just when a group of Xiongnu generals thought they were going to take Ying Ziyi's life and shouted loudly.

An invisible force rose upwards from the high platform. The long and fast arrows that were falling were destroyed by this force and became limp. Before they could reach the high platform, they were broken into pieces and dissipated in the wind. middle.

Ying Ziyi seemed to be tired from sitting, so he lay down on the large throne. Beside him, three maids helped him squeeze his waist, legs and shoulders.

After the Huns' war cavalry fired several waves, they saw that they had no effect. At that moment, the generals of all races could not hold back any longer and rushed over with their men and horses.

There was not a single gap left in the tight battle formation of the Qin army. The Huns' war cavalry closed in from all sides and squeezed desperately toward the center.

Before Hu Qi approached, in the Qin army's battle formation, the vertical shields in the first row were slightly opened, and long spears of one foot stretched out, pinning the forward Hu Qi to them. .

The momentum of Hu Qi's charge stalled for a moment, but the cavalry behind him did not stop there.

One by one, the Xiongnu soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades in front of them, rushed onto the Qin army's shield, and headed towards Ying Zi.

It is impossible for the Qin army to remove their shields at this time. If so, the entire circular formation will be destroyed in time.

The shields made a rumbling collision sound, and from time to time, Qin soldiers thrust their swords into the gaps in the shields, hindering the pace of the Huns cavalry.

Seeing more and more Huns soldiers marching towards Ying Ziyi, half of the two hundred and fifty-six people carrying the high platform separated to face the enemy in all directions.

The one hundred and twenty-eight men held long swords in their hands and held the Huns soldiers at bay.

However, these more than one hundred people are still very small compared to the number of Xiongnu.

Many Xiongnu masters broke through this layer of defense and broke into the circular formation in the open space in front of the Yingziyi platform. However, they did not turn around to destroy the Qin army's formation, but jumped into the sky and sailed towards Ying Zi.

"Prince Qin, your head belongs to me!"

The faces of the Xiongnu masters were all filled with joy and excitement, and they were heading straight towards Yingzi.

Ying Ziyi spread his hands and said, "There are so many of you, how should we divide them?"

The Xiongnu master was stunned, and suddenly the world between heaven and earth was eclipsed. After that, they knew nothing.

The Xiongnu's war momentum was like a surging wave, but the high platform remained towering and motionless.

"Sir, the Qin army's reinforcements are coming soon."

On both sides of the Xiongnu camp, one army is like a blazing flame, and the other is like a black tide. The two supporting armies of the Qin Army have clearly appeared in Tuoba Shu's field of vision.

Tuoba Shu waved his hand, and on both sides of the camp, two units of the Xiongnu cavalry that had already been assembled headed towards the two reinforcements of the Qin army.

Tuoba Shu has full confidence, and the number of troops on his side is far greater than that of the Qin army. As long as the head of Prince Qin is obtained, the Qin army will be defeated sooner or later, and Yunzhong City will be easily accessible.

However, the battle situation was not as expected by Tuoba Shu.

He sent to resist the 6,000 cavalry troops in the northeast direction, but a few charges from the opponent were forced to kill half of them.

The red cavalry in the southeast, although not as fierce as the black cavalry, attacked extremely fast and divided his more than 10,000 cavalry into two parts. Among them, a total of two thousand Red Riders seeped out of the battle formation and came towards Prince Qin.

"General Han Xin, my rescue came late, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"General Peng Yue, my rescue came late, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

...

More than ten thousand barbarian cavalry who were scattered outside Yingzi's formation were surrounded by two groups of cavalry, one red and one black. The three thousand Qin troops changed from a circular formation to a square formation. They attacked from both inside and outside, killing most of the Hu troops.

Han Xin and Peng Yue rode horses to Ying Ziyi and asked for forgiveness.

Ying Ziyi sat up straight, stood up, and pointed in the direction of the Xiongnu camp. Ying Ziyi has his hair tied upright, his clothes are black, and he wears a black crown. On it, the nine-color coat of arms of mountain, dragon and dragon shine brightly.

At this time, a small group of Huns had escaped from the camp and headed northwest.

"I, the Qin Dynasty, campaigned in all directions. Within ten years, I surrendered to the barbarians, conquered the barbarians, and killed the Di and the barbarians. Everything that the sun and moon shine upon is our land, and all that is passed by boats and chariots are my concubines. Now that the barbarians are invading, horses are trampling on the Yin Mountains. . The Great Wall trembles, thousands of miles of beacon smoke. Even if we retreat, we may still not know how to repent or fear. It is better to chase the enemy to the north. Anyone who openly offends our powerful Qin will be punished no matter how far away they are."

"I will obey your orders!"
