    Mao Dun was really good at these two moves, and he hit the Qin army's vital points with every move.  Especially the second hand, it is even more ruthless and wants to cut off the water source of the Qin army.

    Although water is ordinary, no one can live without it.  Once there is no water to drink, both humans and horses will be in serious trouble.

    Huo Qubing died young, and the cause of his death is an eternal mystery. However, there is a theory that during the Northern Expedition to the Huns, Huo Qubing drank water contaminated by dead cattle, horses, and sheep from the Huns, and died of maladies.

    This shows how ruthless this move is.

    "Haha!" A burst of laughter rang out, and everyone was laughing so hard that they were extremely happy.

    Touman Shanyu could not help but nod, his face was full of joy. It was so remarkable that Mao Dun had such a scheming mind at such a young age, he was sincerely happy.

    "I don't believe it. With these two hands, the Qin army can still be undefeated?" Some ministers were so happy that they almost sang.

    "That's right. If the Qin army is still undefeated, we will not fight the Qin army and just withdraw." A minister said carelessly.

    "You are wrong." Mao Dun spoke again and said: "The Qin army wants to attack Mobei. Isn't this a good opportunity for the Huns? Over the years, the Huns have tried to occupy the Hetao land, but they have failed and suffered many defeats.  . If we take advantage of the Qin army¡¯s opportunity to attack Mobei and defeat the Qin army, the Huns will take advantage of the opportunity to go south and attack the Hetao area in one fell swoop.¡±

    "The land of the Loop?" There were exclamations, and everyone's eyes were burning.

    The Hetao is a natural pasture with a warm climate. Compared with the bitter cold of Mobei, it is the paradise in the eyes of the Xiongnu. They dream of getting the Hetao in their dreams.  For this reason, the Huns made several large-scale marches southward to capture the Hetao area, but they all ended in failure.  If the Xiongnu could obtain the land of Hetao, their strength would increase dramatically.

    This benefit is so great that even if everyone is not happy about it.

    "Um.

    The prince is right, this is a golden opportunity for the Huns. This battle must be fought!  "Touman Shanyu clenched his right hand into a fist and shook it hard.

    Winter turns to spring, and in a blink of an eye, spring is here. The time for all things to revive and the time for the Qin army to march out of the fortress is coming.

    To this end, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Wei Liao, Ying Zheng, Meng Tian, ??Meng Yi, and Wang Ben held a final consultation in Jicheng to decide on major military matters. After this consultation, the Qin army will move out of the fortress in a large scale.

    After a winter of familiarity, Ying Zheng had a clearer understanding of the art of war. The former army under his command had strict orders and quick actions, which won the appreciation of Li Mu, Wei Liao and Sima Shang.

    At this point, Li Mu realized that it was too reckless for him to stop Wei Liao from assigning the post of former general to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng was born to lead troops.

    "Spring has arrived, and it's time to use troops. We have been preparing for so long, and it's time for us to take action." Li Muhu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said: "This is our last consultation, you all  Speak freely.¡±

    The large-scale exodus from the fortress is about to take place. This is so exciting. Everyone's eyes are burning and they are all excited.

    "This time, we must fight hard and win a big victory to completely eliminate the Xiongnu. From now on, there will be no war in Northern Xinjiang." Wei Liao, who had always been calm, was also excited beyond words and waved his fist fiercely.

    "That's right." Sima Shang greatly agreed with this and said: "The Huns have been causing trouble to China for thousands of years. In the past, we had no intention of defeating the Xiongnu, but we did not have the power to defeat them. Now, the world is unified, and China is unified.  Great Qin's strength has increased dramatically, and it can completely solve the Xiongnu problem."

    The Xiongnu have always been a serious problem for China, nuisance at the border and causing great headache to China.  Although there were great victories in which King Wuling of Zhao defeated the Xiongnu and Qin and Qin Yiren annihilated millions of Xiongnu, it was not enough to completely solve the Xiongnu problem.  Although the Huns were defeated, they could escape to Mobei to lick their wounds and regain their strength.

    At that time, various countries were vying for hegemony and the Central Plains was in constant internal strife. They were unable to invade Mobei and could not completely solve the Xiongnu problem.  Now that the world has been unified and the Qin Dynasty has accumulated strong strength, it is time to solve the Xiongnu's thousand-year problem.

    How exciting this is!

    Don¡¯t talk about it, just thinking about it is exciting.

    "Do you know how the Xiongnu will respond?" Ying Zheng asked suddenly with a calm face.

    "The prince knows?" Li Mu was a little surprised.

    Ying Zheng¡¯s intelligence is extraordinary and he has won the respect of everyone. He suddenly asked this question because he must have something to say. Everyone was very curious and focused their eyes on Ying Zheng.

    "The Great Qin went out on a large scale to attack Mobei. This was a golden opportunity for the Xiongnu. As long as the Great Qin was defeated, the Xiongnu would take advantage of the situation and go south."?Occupy the land of the Loop.  Ying Zheng said with wisdom in his eyes: "So, even if this battle is not as planned by General Li Mu, the Xiongnu will attack Shanyuwangting and Langjuxu Mountain.  "

    "That makes sense! That makes sense!" Everyone agreed in unison.

    It is well known that the Xiongnu wanted to capture the Hetao. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qin army to attack Mobei, defeating the Qin army, and then taking advantage of the situation to attack the Hetao was a golden opportunity that the Xiongnu would not miss.

    Therefore, this battle is bound to happen.

    Of course, according to Li Mu's plan, it would be safer and more proactive to attack the Xiongnu's Shanyu Wangting and Langjuxu Mountain.

    If the Xiongnu did not aim at Shanyu Wangting and Langjuxu Mountain, they could have fought with the Qin army and exhausted the Qin army before attacking again.  Now, according to Li Mou's plan, the Qin army is directly targeting Beiwangting and Langjuxu Mountain. The Xiongnu cannot fight too much and must stop the Qin army. This will force the Xiongnu to start the war in advance, which will allow the Qin army to occupy  initiative.

    "According to my expectation, the Xiongnu will definitely consume and tire us out as much as possible on the way to Qin's march this time." Ying Zheng stretched out two fingers and said: "The method he used is no more than two strategies: one is to send flying cavalry to harass us.  The army of Qin attacked Qin's baggage and even led Qin's army astray. The second was to throw dead cows, horses and sheep into water sources to destroy the water sources."

    ¡°How vicious!¡± Everyone exclaimed in unison.

    As for the first strategy, everyone still doesn't care, as long as the Qin army doesn't fall for it, no matter how much trouble the Huns make, they won't succeed.

    What shocked everyone was the second strategy, which was to destroy the water source. Once the water source was gone, Da Qin would be in big trouble.

    "Prince, how should we deal with this?" Li Mu looked anxious and asked Ying Zheng.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were once again focused on Ying Zheng, with a look of anticipation on their faces.

    "These two strategies look very good, especially the second strategy is very cruel, but there is no need to worry." Ying Zheng had a calm look on his face and didn't take it to heart at all.

    These words were very puzzling, and everyone looked confused.

    "Prince, what do you mean by this?" Wei Liao knitted his brows together and said, "In my opinion, these two strategies are extremely good, especially the second strategy. It is difficult to find a solution."

    Pollution of water sources is a "killer", and it is difficult to find a solution. This is a headache, but Ying Zheng is not worried at all. It doesn't work if everyone is not surprised.

    "Let's talk about the first strategy first." Ying Zheng frowned, like a sharp sword unsheathed, and sneered: "The Huns thought they were good at riding and shooting, and they came and went like the wind, but they didn't know who was the originator of flying cavalry? Seven hundred years ago,  When the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty used flying cavalry to attack and attack the surrounding tribes in the Longxi Valley, the Huns were nothing."

    Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, feeling extremely comfortable.

    The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic people, and they were best at using flying cavalry. According to historical records, the ancestors of the Qin tribe had disheveled hair, wore leather armor, carried bows and arrows on their backs, hung human heads on their waists, brandished scimitars, and galloped on horses. This was called flying cavalry.  .

    Speaking of flying cavalry, the Qin tribe has a longer history than the Xiongnu, and can be said to be the originator of flying cavalry.  This time, the Xiongnu wanted to use flying cavalry to deal with the Qin army. This was Lu Ban playing an ax in front of the gate and overestimating his own capabilities.

    "We can select a group of flying cavalry to specifically deal with the Huns' flying cavalry. Our flying cavalry all have hand crossbows, which can suppress the Huns' cavalry. In this fight, we will win." Sima Shang clenched his hands into fists  ¡¤It was shaking hard and it was hard to describe the excitement.

    The Xiongnu are good at riding and shooting. This is their special skill. If they are suppressed by the Qin army's hand crossbows, it will be unreasonable for the Xiongnu to remain defeated.

    Although Mao Dun¡¯s idea was good, it ignored the historical fact that the Qin tribe was the originator of flying cavalry.  Moreover, he also forgot that the Central Plains has advanced civilization and developed technology, which can produce hand crossbows in large quantities.

    "Good! Good! Good!" Everyone was excited, as if the Xiongnu's flying cavalry had been defeated by the Qin army.

    "Prince, how do you solve the second strategy?" Wei Diao's eyes flashed with admiration.

    "If the Xiongnu didn't send flying cavalry, it would be a big trouble to defeat the second strategy." Ying Zheng said with a calm face: "If the Xiongnu sends flying cavalry, they will definitely leave some water sources that will not be destroyed. This is our opportunity.  .¡±

    Although the Xiongnu came and went like the wind, they were still human beings and had to eat and drink.  These flying knights who came to harass the Qin army also needed water sources, and some water sources would inevitably be left undamaged. The Qin army only needed to defeat these flying knights and find these water sources to solve the problem.

    "Okay! Pick it!" Everyone cheered in unison, with admiration on their faces.

    Although Mao Dun¡¯s plan was good, he didn¡¯t expect that it would be broken by Ying Zheng.

    Next, everyone discussed for a while, and Li Mu and Sima Shang rushed to Shuofang.Wei Liao gave an order, and the Qin army began to mobilize. Soon, there was a black ocean outside Jicheng, and 250,000 Qin troops gathered here, covering an area of ??dozens of miles.

    At this time, everyone in the Qin army held their heads high, chests puffed out, their eyes shining with fierce fighting spirit, and everyone was unwilling to fight to the death.

    Wei Liao, surrounded by Ying Zheng, Meng Tian and other generals, came to the front of the formation, glanced at the Qin army, and was extremely satisfied with the Qin army's fighting spirit. He loudly lectured: "Brothers, you all know that Da Qin wants to  Defeat the Huns!"

    "Defeat the Xiongnu!" The soldiers of the Qin army burst out with a shocking roar, and everyone was excited.

    "For hundreds of years, the Xiongnu harassed China, plundered our population, and killed our people. They committed heinous crimes! Now, it's time to demand repayment of the blood debt from the Xiongnu!" Wei Liao raised his right hand high and struck it down hard, like thunder.  Lightning, full of power.

    "Blood debt must be paid with blood!" The soldiers of the Qin army burst out with an earth-shattering roar.

    Wei Liao fiercely pulled out the Qin sword and swung it hard towards the north, like a sword from the sky, catching people's eyes.

    "Rumble!"

    Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound, and 250,000 Qin troops marched towards the north, like a black tide, surging, unstoppable and unstoppable.
