At the same time, outside Shuofang City, the Qin army began to gather. The Qin army assembled quickly. Soon, neat military formations appeared one after another, and a murderous atmosphere filled the world.
Li Mu, surrounded by Sima Shang and other generals, galloped over on a tall horse.
Arriving in front of the formation, Li Mu pulled the reins of his horse, stopped, and looked at the Qin army.
I saw the Qin army all holding their heads high, chests puffed out, high-spirited, and with fierce fighting intent in their eyes.
Li Mu was very satisfied with the Qin army's fighting spirit and nodded slightly. His eyes flashed, and he began to lecture, saying: "Brothers: Do you know where the land beneath your feet is?"
"Hetao!" This is the land of the Hetao, and everyone knows about the Qin army's elite, they shouted in unison.
"That's right!" Li Mu nodded heavily, affirmed, and continued: "Ten years ago, His Majesty led us to fight against the Xiongnu in the Hetao area, annihilating millions of Xiongnu and capturing tens of thousands of Xiongnu. The Qin Dynasty drove these Xiongnu prisoners away , built Shuofang City!"
"Long live the Qin Dynasty!" Although many years have passed since the battle, the soldiers were still deeply impressed because that battle was a huge success and annihilated millions of Huns. This was the first time in the history of China. Who can forget the biggest victory against a foreign race?
"In that battle, the Qin Dynasty not only annihilated millions of Huns, but also destroyed the Dragon City where the Xiongnu ancestors were buried! They dug up the Xiongnu's ancestral graves!" Li Mu's voice was a little high, and he was a little excited.
Li Mu contributed a lot to the digging of the Xiongnu ancestral graves. It was Li Mu who lured the Xiongnu into the ambush planned by the Qin army, and the Qin army annihilated millions of the Xiongnu. Although it had been many years since this incident, Li Mu could still remember it as if it happened yesterday.
"Long live the Qin Dynasty!" Everyone knew this, it was an exciting and happy event, and the soldiers of the Qin army all shouted at the top of their voices.
The sound was like thousands of thunderous explosions, making the ground tremble.
"Today, I will lead you to continue this glorious history!" Li Mu raised his right hand high and struck it down hard like thunder and lightning, full of power, and said: "The warriors of Great Qin, we will cross the desert and attack Shanyu. Royal Court!¡±
"Across the desert!"
"Go straight to the court of Shan Yu!"
Li Mu is indeed a man who knows soldiers. His lectures are very contagious and can inspire the fighting spirit of the Qin army's warriors. They are all filled with joy, waving their arms and shouting.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:???????? In the first battle, millions of Xiongnu troops were annihilated, the Xiongnu¡¯s holy land, Dragon City, was destroyed, and the Xiongnu ancestral graves were dug up. Who could not be happy? Now, who can not be excited that the Qin army will continue this glory?
The roar was like the roar of thousands of thunders, which penetrated the sky and shook the clouds above the sky into pieces.
"Let's go!" Li Mu turned the horse's head, patted the horse's back, and galloped out first.
"Rumble!" The earth-shattering sound of hoofbeats sounded, and a huge dark cloud suddenly appeared, and a black sea tide was seen surging toward the north.
At this moment, if you look from the air, you can see two giant black dragons at the border of China and the desert, rolling northward with a monstrous majesty.

In the desert, near a lake, a large number of Xiongnu flying cavalry gathered here with many tents.
At this moment, I saw a scout rushing over like flying, shouting from a distance, making the mountains roar: "The Qin Army has moved out! The Qin Army has moved out!"
"The Qin army is coming?"
"Very good!"
"Let's go! Let's go and kill them. We will make the Qin army have no time to eat, no time to sleep, and make the Qin army exhausted." When they heard that the Qin army was coming, these Xiongnu flying cavalry were excited and howled.
"We can finally kill the Qin army and take revenge!"
¡°The Qin army¡¯s revenge for destroying Dragon City and digging up ancestral graves must be avenged!¡±
Not only did the Xiongnu suffer heavy casualties in the first battle, but what made the Xiongnu most angry was that the Qin army destroyed the Dragon City and dug up the Xiongnu's ancestral graves. Regarding these two things, as long as they are Huns, they will never forget them. They will keep them in mind all the time and want to take revenge on the Qin army.
"Go! Kill the Qin army!" The leading Xiongnu general roared, jumped on his horse, and galloped away with the Xiongnu flying cavalry.

"Rumble!" The front army led by Ying Zheng galloped, splashing large swaths of smoke and dust, and a huge dark cloud stretched from the sky to the ground, giving people a sense of oppression.
"Haha! Da Qin is finally going to take action against the hateful and hateful Xiongnu! We can make great achievements again!"
"The Xiongnu are so hateful. They have been fighting the Central Plains for hundreds of years, but the Central Plains cannot defeat the Xiongnu. Now, the Qin Dynasty is finally going to defeat the Xiongnu. I get excited just thinking about it."¡°Who can not be excited about such a grand event?¡±
The elite soldiers of the Qin army have high morale, high fighting spirit, and high fighting spirit. The hard and tiring march does not feel painful at all to them, as if they are traveling.
"Prince, we found a water source, but, just" At this moment, I saw a scout rushing towards me, reporting to Ying Zheng, with some hesitation.
"It's just that the water source was polluted by dead cows, dead horses, and dead sheep, right?" Ying Zheng asked what the scout had not said.
"Yes. Hey, Prince, how do you know this?" The scout was a little surprised.
They found out about this and felt that it was serious, so they rushed to report it. Before he could speak, Qin Yiren spoke out.
"I've known it for a long time." Ying Zheng had already guessed this, and now it was just confirmed, so he wasn't surprised at all.
"Prince, how should we deal with this? If the water source is contaminated, there will be no water to drink. The scout looked anxious.!
"It's okay. Someone will come to guide us to the water source." Ying Zheng didn't take it to heart at all.
"Who?" the scout asked in surprise.
"Xiongnu." Ying Zheng's answer was very concise, but it puzzled the scouts.
"Prince, are you kidding? How could the Huns guide us to the water source?" The scout was so surprised that his eyes almost fell to the ground.
As soon as he finished speaking, another scout rushed over and reported to Ying Zheng, saying: "Prince, a group of Xiongnu flying cavalry is rushing towards us, numbering about two thousand people."
"Did you hear that? The people who will guide us to the water source are here." Ying Zheng smiled at the previous scout.
The confusion in the scout's eyes became even stronger.
Ying Zheng pulled the reins of his horse and stopped, and all the Qin troops stopped.
"Brothers: Did you hear that? The Huns' flying cavalry is coming." Ying Zheng began to lecture, saying: "The Huns are here to disturb us, so that we have no time to eat or sleep, and they even want to attack us. The baggage has left us with no food to eat, do you think we can agree to it?"
"No!" The soldiers of the Qin army burst out with a shocking roar.
"Well said!" Ying Zheng raised his right hand high and struck it down hard, like a bolt of lightning, and shouted loudly: "Because we are the originators of flying cavalry!"
"The originator of flying cavalry!" The warriors of the Qin army burst out with a shocking roar. Everyone's eyes shot out with blazing light, and they were indescribably excited.
The Qin tribe originated from the Longxi Valley. They were nomadic people in the true sense. They were good at using flying cavalry. It was funny that these Xiongnu used flying cavalry to deal with the Qin army's warriors.
"Brothers: Today, we will let the Huns know what it means to be the originator of flying cavalry!" Ying Zheng fiercely pulled out his waist sword Qin Jian and raised it high on his head. With a flick of his wrist, a beautiful sword flower flashed out.
"The originator of flying cavalry!" The two thousand flying cavalry troops roared and rushed out after Ying Zheng, as fast as the wind.
The galloping Xiongnu flying cavalry suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar, and everyone looked confused: "What is the origin of flying cavalry? Is it possible that the Qin army is better at using flying cavalry than our great Xiongnu?"
The Xiongnu grew up on horses and claimed that they could live their whole lives on horseback. According to their thinking, the Xiongnu's flying cavalry was the most powerful in the world. If they believed that the Qin army was the true originator of flying cavalry, it would be really It's very difficult.
"Pfft!" The Xiongnu flying cavalry laughed out loud, and all of them sneered with contempt on their faces: "You are not overestimating your own capabilities!"
After galloping for a while, they saw a black Qin army flying cavalry rushing towards them. The Xiongnu general leading the army roared: "Warriors of the Great Huns, let the damn Qin dogs know that the warriors of the Great Huns are the originators of flying cavalry!"
"Utra!" The Xiongnu flying cavalry burst out with a shocking roar, holding a hard bow and arrows, waiting for the Qin army to come and die.
Their thoughts were wonderful - however, the reality was cruel, as what greeted them was an overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows.
Seeing that the Xiongnu flying cavalry had entered the range of the Qin army's hand crossbow, Ying Zheng decisively gave the order, saying: "Hand crossbow, prepare, shoot!"
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a sharp sound broke through the air, and a dense crossbow bolt appeared in the air, shooting at the Xiongnu flying cavalry.
At first glance, the crossbow arrows were like venomous snakes, flying towards the Xiongnu.
"Crossbow?" The face of the leading Xiongnu general changed drastically and he screamed.
The crossbow is the nemesis of the Xiongnu. As long as the crossbow is encountered, the Xiongnu will not be able to take advantage of it. At this moment, the Qin army's hand crossbows were already in full force, shooting at the Xiongnu flying cavalry. However, the Xiongnu's bows and arrows could not reach the Qin army, and they could only be killed by the Qin army.Shot and killed.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" screams sounded one after another. There were many Huns who were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. In just a short time, there were more than a hundred or two hundred corpses on the ground.
There were also many people who were struck by arrows and fell from their horses, rolling on the ground and screaming.
"This" Mounted archery is the special skill of the Huns. However, their riding and archery skills are of no use in front of hand crossbows. They can only be used as living targets. The Huns were shocked and demoralized.
The Qin army showed no mercy at all. Under the command of Ying Zheng, they kept shooting with crossbows.
After one round of intensive crossbow arrows, the Xiongnu suffered heavy casualties, and their number had been reduced by six to seven hundred, accounting for one-third.
On the other hand, the Qin army did not suffer any casualties. Who said that the Xiongnu¡¯s bows and arrows could not shoot as far as hand-held crossbows?
As a result, the Xiongnu no longer wanted to fight, so he turned his horse's head and fled.
"Want to escape?" Ying Zheng sneered and waved his right hand. The Qin army divided into two teams and pursued them from the left and right sides to cut off the Xiongnu's retreat.
After a period of pursuit, the Xiongnu were all killed or injured, either by the Qin army's crossbows, by the Qin army's bows and arrows, or by the Qin army's hacking.
"Do you know? This is called the originator of flying cavalry!" Ying Zheng rode on the horse, holding the bloody Qin sword, and sneered at the Xiongnu corpse on the ground.
"Prince, you shouldn't kill them all. Those who should be captured alive should be asked about the source of water." A Qin Jun flying cavalry felt a little regretful.
"No need." Ying Zheng pointed at the bloody Qin sword in his hand and said, "You can find the water source by following the Huns' hoofprints."
As Ying Zheng expected, the Qin army followed the hoof prints and found the water source. Not only are there water sources, but there are also daily necessities such as horse breasts, dried meat, and tents stored by the Huns.
