Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the Qin army headed north, they would encounter disturbances from the Huns' flying cavalry from time to time. However, without exception, they were all killed by the Qin army without causing much harm to the Qin army.

    Mao Dun¡¯s plan was not bad, but he ignored the historical fact that the Qin tribe was the originator of flying cavalry.  In terms of using flying cavalry, if the Qin tribe recognized the second, the Xiongnu would not dare to recognize the first.  When the Qin tribe used flying cavalry to fight with surrounding tribes in the Longxi Valley, where were the Huns?

    Furthermore, the Qin army also had hand crossbows, which could suppress the Xiongnu¡¯s cavalry and archery. How could the Xiongnu benefit from the Qin army¡¯s flying cavalry?

    Not only did the Xiongnu flying cavalry suffer heavy casualties, they also facilitated the Qin army's search for water sources. They only needed to kill the Xiongnu flying cavalry and then follow the Xiongnu flying cavalry's hoof prints to find the water source, which was easy.

    In this way, the Qin army's northward march went very smoothly, and ten days later, they arrived at the Thousand Miles Territory.

    The Thousand Miles of Absolute Territory is an uninhabited land. The natural environment there is extremely harsh and unsuitable for travel. Even the Xiongnu had to be careful when passing here.  It is not easy for the Qin army to pass through the vast expanse of thousands of miles.

    Wei Liao ordered the Qin army to rest at the edge of Jueyu for three days, firstly to restore their physical strength, and secondly to get ready.

    When marching in a deserted area, it is possible that water sources cannot be found. The Qin army prepared the most water. Not only water for people to drink, but also water for war horses to drink. It was really a big burden.

    Three days later, Wei Liao gave an order, and Ying Zheng led the front army to take the lead and entered the thousand-mile extremity.  The main force of the Qin army followed closely and entered the thousand-mile extremity.  If you look at it from the air, you can see a long black dragon traveling in the extremity.

    After entering the extremity area, Qin Jun felt the harsh natural environment here, the temperature was low and very cold.  Although it is already spring, and it has long been the season of spring flowers blooming in the Central Plains, however, the cold wind is howling in the vast expanse of land, and there is no sign of spring flowers blooming.

    The farther north you go, the later spring comes. This is normal.

    There is another difficulty. It¡¯s not that we can¡¯t find a water source, it¡¯s that it¡¯s very difficult to find a water source.

    The difficulty of finding water sources in the vast expanse of land has greatly increased. Fortunately, the Qin army was fully prepared and it did not cause any trouble to the Qin army.

    In the vast expanse of thousands of miles, the Xiongnu¡¯s flying cavalry is gone.  Marching in a vast expanse of thousands of miles was not only difficult for the Qin army, but also for the Xiongnu. Moreover, it was difficult to find water sources and it was difficult for the Xiongnu to survive. It was normal not to have the Xiongnu flying cavalry.

    When Wei Liao's Qin army entered the Thousand Miles of Absolute Territory, the Qin army led by Li Mu also entered the Thousand Miles of Absolute Territory. The situation was the same as that of Wei Liao and others.

    As soon as the Qin army passed through the vast expanse of thousands of miles, it entered Mobei, and a terrifying battle was about to break out.

    Chan Yu Wang Ting, Wang Zhang.

    Touman Chanyu, Wusunluo, Maodun and other ministers were present, all with regretful expressions on their faces.

    "Hey! Although the prince's plan was good, he didn't expect that it would help the Qin army."

    "That's right. If we want to use Feiqi, we can't pollute all the water sources. We have to leave water sources for Fei Qi, but the result is that the Qin army takes advantage."

    "If I had known this, why would I use this trick to be self-defeating?"

    A group of ministers shouted loudly and were very dissatisfied with Maodun's proposal to use flying cavalry to harass the Qin army and attack the Qin army's baggage.

    The strategy of using flying cavalry to deal with the Qin army not only failed to achieve its goal, but also left enough water sources for the Qin army, making the Xiongnu's action of using dead cattle, horses and sheep to pollute the water sources in vain. It would be impossible for all the ministers not to regret it.

    When Mao Dun listened, he felt his face was burning and he clenched his fists tightly.  This was the first time he tried to make a plan, but it ended in failure. He was very ashamed and angry.

    "That's enough!" Touman Shanyu shouted in a deep voice: "Is it useful for you to say this now? If you are smart, why didn't you bring it up earlier? Now, it is just being smart after the fact, and it is of no use."

    Touman Shanyu was very satisfied with his son, and of course he wanted to protect him.  Although the plan to use flying cavalry to deal with the Qin army failed, it does not mean that this plan is not good, it is just that this strategy was used on the wrong target, the Qin army, the originator of flying cavalry.  If this plan had been done differently, it would probably have been a huge success.

    What Touman Shanyu said is reasonable. These ministers are "hindsight" and "hindsight".  They did not think of this when they were discussing, and it is of no use to say this now.

    The ministers also felt ashamed and stopped talking.

    "Great Chanyu, the Qin army was not able to do anything about the flying cavalry, and it also lost a lot of elites. This is not good for the next war." A minister raised a very serious question.

    The Xiongnu's use of flying cavalry to deal with the Qin army not only failed to achieve the purpose of disturbing the Qin army, but also resulted in many casualties.At least 50,000 to 60,000 elite cavalry were killed or injured.  This was a great loss for the Huns who had not yet recovered their strength, and it would be impossible for them not to regret it.

    "Hey!" There was a sigh, and even the minister glared at Mao Dun, which meant that it was all your bad idea.

    "Great Chanyu, why don't we retreat temporarily to avoid the Qin army's attack? When the Qin army has no food and grass, we will wait for the opportunity to attack the Qin army severely." Some ministers were busy giving ideas.

    "That's right. The Qin army is very sharp. We can't blunt its edge. It's better to stay away for the time being." A voice of agreement rang out.

    "No!" Touman Shanyu shook his head and said: "Even in Monan, the Huns' flying cavalry failed to disturb the Qin army, and thousands of miles of vast territory could defeat the Qin army's elite soldiers and demoralize them. If we give the Qin army  During the rest period, this battle will be even more difficult to fight. We should take advantage of the fact that the Qin army has just walked out of the thousand-mile extremity and has not yet recovered its vitality, so we can severely punish the Qin army."

    "What a brilliant plan! This is a very clever plan for Dashan -!"

    How terrifying the vast expanse of thousands of miles is, the Xiongnu would not be ignorant of it.  Not to mention the Qin army, even the Huns who were familiar with the desert found it very difficult.  The Qin army must have encountered many difficulties and huge expenditures when passing through a vast expanse of thousands of miles. If they launch an attack before the Qin army recovers, they will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army.

    "The Qin army went north this time and divided into two routes. One route went directly to Shanyu Wangting, and the other went directly to Langjuxu Mountain. These two places are where the Huns must defend, and this battle must be fought." Toumandan  Yu frowned and said: "This Shanyu has decided that I will be in charge of Shanyu Wangting, and King Zuo Xian will be in charge of Langjuxu Mountain."

    "Don't worry, Grand Chanyu. I will definitely attack the Qin army hard, beat the Qin army to pieces, and avenge the past." Wusun lowered his head, raised his chest, and spoke with high spirits.

    "Okay! King Zuo Xian has great ambitions, so I can rest assured." Touman Chanyu nodded in appreciation and said, "The prince will assist King Zuo Xian."

    "With the help of the prince, this battle will definitely be won." Although Mao Dun was young, he had extraordinary intelligence and Wu Sunluo greatly admired him.

    In this way, Wusunluo and Maodun left the court of Shanyu and went straight to Langjuxu Mountain.

    "This is the order of the Shanyu: The warriors of the Xiongnu are marching towards Jueyu." Touman Shanyu waved his right hand and loudly ordered, "The warriors of the Great Xiongnu are waiting for the Qin army at the edge of Jueyu!"

    "Haha!" The Qin army must have been consumed a lot by the vast expanse of thousands of miles. Waiting for the Qin army at the edge of the extremity area, the Xiongnu could just take advantage of the Qin army's sleepiness and lack of horses to attack the Qin army. The chance of winning was very high.  joy.

    As soon as Touman Shanyu's order was passed down, the Huns began to move towards the Jueyu.

    "Do you know? The hateful and hateful Qin Dog is here and is currently crossing the extremity."

    "The Extinct Territory, not to mention the Qin Dog, even the warriors of the Great Huns dare not pass through it easily. It is too difficult. The Qin Dogs will definitely be exhausted when they pass through the Thousand Miles of Absolute Territory. We will stay at the edge of the Absolute Territory and wait for work, and we will definitely be able to defeat Qin.  Dog, take revenge for the past!"

    "As long as Qin Dog is defeated, the Central Plains people will lose their sharpest claws, and the Xiongnu warriors can take the opportunity to go south and capture the Hetao land.

    "The land of the Hetao has fertile soil, beautiful water, blue sky and green grass, and a warm climate. It is a natural pasture. I have only dreamed of it."

    "As long as we capture the Hetao land, the Huns will have more cattle, sheep, and horses, and they will be stronger, and they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

    "Also, the land of Hetao is less than a thousand miles away from Xianyang, the capital of Qin. The warriors of the great Huns are riding horses.

    It only takes a few days to reach Xianyang City.  It is said that treasures are piled high in Xianyang city, and there are countless Central Plains women with fine skin and tender meat, which are more numerous than the flocks of sheep on the grassland.  As long as Xianyang is invaded, it belongs to the great Huns warriors.  "

    ¡°We must try our best in this battle and beat Qin Dog hard.¡±

    The Xiongnu army was talking a lot as they advanced, and the most talked about thing was how to defeat the Qin army.  Looking forward to the benefits after defeating the Qin army, they were so excited, as if they had defeated the Qin army, captured the Hetao area, and even captured Xianyang.

    A lot of Xiongnu troops were transferred from the court of Shan Yu and rushed to camp at the edge of Jueyu. They saw a series of tents connected one after another. I don¡¯t know how many there were, and it was endless as far as the eye could see.

    " Moreover, the Xiongnu army stationed here has high morale and fierce fighting spirit, waiting for the Qin army to come and die.

    At the same time, Wusunluo and Maodun, the Xian kings of Zuo, who rushed to Langjuxu Mountain, mobilized the Xiongnu troops and rushed to station at the edge of Juexu. There were an unknown number of tents connected together.  Just waiting for the Qin army to come and die

    "Rumble!" The Qin army marched, the sound of hooves was like thunder, splashing up large swaths of smoke and dust, reaching the sky to the ground, giving people a heavy sense of depression.

    Ying ZhengyouWith a wave of his hand, he shouted an order: "Stop advancing and stay where you are."

    "Stop advancing?" A cry of exclamation rang out, coming from the mouths of the Qin Army warriors, all of whom looked surprised.

    "Prince, one day, we will be able to walk out of the extremity, and we can kill the Hun dogs. Why do we have to stop advancing?" A group of Qin army warriors were puzzled.

    "Definitely." Before Ying Zheng could say anything, he saw a horse galloping towards him. He started shouting from a distance and said: "The captain of the state has an order, stop advancing and station on the spot."

    "Hey!" The soldiers of the Qin army were very unhappy when they heard this, but they did not dare to disobey the military order and had to stop.

    "Prince, the captain of the state invites you to go forward." The Qin army warrior who delivered the order came closer and greeted Ying Zheng.

    "Got it." Ying Zheng nodded slightly and rushed to see Wei Liao with Meng Tian, ??Meng Yi and Wang Ben.

    When Ying Zheng and others rushed to Wei Liao's central military tent, they heard a roar. The generals kept shouting and were very dissatisfied with Wei Liao's order to station.

    "Guowei, are you confused? One day we will be able to get out of the extremity, why should we stop moving forward?"

    "That's right. As long as we grit our teeth and hold our breath, we can get out of the dead zone and defeat the Huns."

    "Guowei, hurry up, take back this random order, and let us move forward."

    The Qin generals roared loudly, and they all looked unhappy.
