General Qin

Chapter 433 Attacking the Huns at Night

It was dusk.

Touman Shanyu walked out of the camp with Maodun, Huyan Tiao and other nobles of the Xiongnu.

"The moon is very round tonight."

Touman Chanyu looked to the east and saw that the moon had already risen, and it was really big and round.

Huyan Tiao laughed and said, "Tonight's full moon is a symbol of auspiciousness. Tomorrow those Qin people will send a large amount of food and weapons. This time, Da Shanyu led the warriors from the grassland to the south and made everyone's stomachs full. After returning to the grassland, I think there will be more tribes willing to come to the tent of the Great Chanyu to be whipped by the Great Chanyu."

"Only a wolf king who satiates the wolves is a good wolf king, and only in this way will more wolves come to follow him."

Touman Chanyu glanced at Maodun, and whispered his experience as a "Wolf King".

He looked up and looked at the full moon in the distance.

Then knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the moon.

"After returning to the grassland, I can use the weapons and food given to me by the Qin people to conquer more tribes, let more grassland warriors join my account, and strengthen the power of the Huns."

"Then you can attack Donghu and Yuezhi, defeat them, conquer them, and let the Xiongnu become the real overlords on the grassland."

"I, Tu Shanyu, the supporter of the Xiongnu, will become the only king on the grassland!"

"Yue, grant my wish!"

Touman Chanyu prayed, expressing his wish in his heart, and bowed heavily to the moon.

The Xiongnu liked to worship ghosts and gods and respected nature.

For the sun and the moon, there is a custom of "going out of the camp in the morning, worshiping the sun at the beginning of birth, and worshiping the moon in the evening".

A full moon is beneficial, and a negative month is unfavorable.

So the full moon tonight is a good time for the Huns.

Behind Touman Chanyu, the nobles also knelt down and prayed.

"Yue, let Shan Yu pamper me again."

Mao Dun murmured in his heart, and knelt down to the full moon.

...

"The moon has risen."

In the Xiongnu camp, King Yan was delighted to see the Huns guarding his tent bowing in batches in the direction of the rising moon, with extremely gloomy expressions on their faces.

The Huns did not listen to his instigation, and the Qin people did not launch a sneak attack. Instead, they sent a batch of grain to show their sincerity. This means that the deal between the Qin army and the Huns is basically settled, and his fate is doomed up.

"Zidan heard that he was torn apart by a car and died. It's so tragic."

"I don't know if King Qin's anger has calmed down. If Gu is escorted to Xianyang, he will also be torn apart by the car."

King Yan's face was full of sorrow.

At this moment, he is an old man, surrounded by strong Huns in tents, without any hope of escape, he can only feel more and more desperate.

He looked at the Huns at the door, worshiping the moon devoutly.

King Yan liked to think of the devotion of the Huns to ghosts and gods during the years of living in the grassland.

He even thought of the scene when he was chased by the Qin army and fell down in western Liaoning.

Yan Wangxi took out a dirty and tattered cloth from the smelly fur.

He opened it with trembling hands, and inside was a black particle the size of a fingernail.

It was given to him by alchemist Jin back then, and it can communicate with ghosts and gods.

Back then, he took a pill when he was down and out in western Liaoning, and then he met the barbarians who went deep into Yandi.

For so many years, Yan Wangxi was reluctant to take the leftover pills, and would only take a small amount and stuff it into his mouth when he was confused and desperate.

Although the efficacy of the magic medicine was no longer enough for him to see those weird things again, it could also allow Yan Wangxi to find a moment of peace in fear and transcend the suffering in front of him.

Yan Wangxi threw the last black particles into his mouth, closed his eyes, and muttered: "The Huns rescued me from the pursuit of the Qin army back then, but today someone can rescue me from the Huns...

...

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, God is helping me."

Meng Tian raised his head and glanced at the full moon hanging high in the sky.

The bright moonlight illuminates their way forward.

Behind him, five thousand cavalrymen lined up neatly and moved forward slowly.

This place is about seven or eight miles away from the camp of the Huns.

At this distance, the cavalry of the Qin Army was already carrying a horse, and the horse picked up the bell. This was to prevent loud noises from arousing the vigilance of the Huns.

They walked slowly to avoid alarming the Huns in advance, and when they were close enough, they could gallop on horses, rush into the barbarian camp, hack and kill, and set fire everywhere.

There are several light cavalry flying towards the road ahead.

"General, the Hu people are very poorly prepared. There is no one patrolling the road ahead for several miles. The Huns did not notice the approach of our army." The scout captain came to report.

Meng Tian nodded, but did not give the order to continue. Instead, he said to Su Jiao who was beside him: "Let the second and third sons find a leeward place to rest for a while, to accumulate horsepower, and at the same time wait for our infantry to catch up."

Su Jiao frowned, feeling the wind blowing on his face, he asked, "General, is it the direction of the wind?"

Meng Tian glanced at him appreciatively, and said: "Of course. If our army wants to destroy the barracks, we will set fire to it. Now that the north wind is strong, if we set fire to the wind, we may burn our infantry. Wait here first, and see." Can we wait for the wind direction to change?"

"It's true what the general said."

Su Jiao praised, and immediately went down to deliver the order.

After a while, Zhao Tuo also arrived with 30,000 infantry.

"Meng Tian is waiting for the wind direction?"

Zhao Tuo nodded when he heard the movement of the cavalry ahead.

Meng Tian is indeed very talented in military affairs. He has not been on the battlefield many times, but he has already shown the qualities that a general should have. No wonder he became a general of the Qin Dynasty in history.

If it was someone like Hei Hip who led the team, he might ignore the wind direction when he got excited, and he might just set fire to the wind.

That's why everyone's potential is different.

But waiting like this is not an option. If the north wind blows all night tonight, wouldn't it be a surprise attack? And there is a possibility of being exposed if you wait for a long time. The soldiers can't bear the wind blowing in this field all night.

Zhao Tuo sent an order to the soldiers to rest in place to recover the energy consumed by the journey. At the same time, they sent someone to inform Meng Tian that they would only wait for an hour. If the wind direction remained unchanged, they would ignore it and attack the camp directly.

Fortunately, not only the moon is helping tonight, but even the north wind has no intention of obstructing it. After a while, it turns into an east wind.

"Attack!"

Meng Tian sensed the change in wind direction, his eyes widened immediately, and he gave the order to attack the camp.

The five thousand cavalry of the Qin Army immediately lined up in an orderly array and rushed towards the Hu camp.

Behind them are tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army who have rested and are full of fighting spirit.

Because of the night attack, they were silenced, but there were blazing flames burning in those eyes.

Sweep away Hu Yi, and raise the prestige of Xia!

...

In the camp of the Huns, except for a small number of night watchmen, most of the Huns have already fallen asleep.

Even the so-called night watchmen mostly dozed off.

Only a few people are still chatting.

"We followed Da Shanyu to the south this time, and we are really full. We can go back to the grassland when we get something from the Qin people tomorrow."

"How about the harvest this time?"

"Hey, I killed several of them when I broke through the city that day. Those old things and the young ones cut their heads one by one. It's a pleasure to chop off their heads."

"I didn't kill anyone, but I robbed a woman to pay back. The women in the south are just different from the ones on the grassland, tsk tsk..."

Just when these Huns were chatting with each other about their harvest.

Suddenly, the dog dozing on the ground next to them barked and barked at the southern dog.

"whats the matter?"

A Hun screamed.

Next to him, another person immediately lay down on the ground, listened for a while, and suddenly changed his expression: "There is a horse running!"

"The warriors of our grassland are resting here. Where did the cavalry come from the south? Could it be that those Qin people brought food and treasures in horse-drawn carts? But isn't it midnight?"

"Idiot, it's an enemy attack!"

Amidst the screams of these Huns, a large dark shadow appeared in the south direction under the moonlight.

The horse charged under the moonlight, with good sight, and how fast it was.

The Huns guarding the southernmost part had just seen it clearly and were screaming and turning around when they were chased behind by the cavalry of the Qin army.

In a blink of an eye, these Huns were chopped down to the ground, and those who survived were trampled into rotten meat by horseshoes.

At this time, in the movement caused by the galloping five thousand horses, in the neighing of the various hounds and horses in the camp, and in the shouts of the Huns before they were killed.

The people of the grassland who were sleeping were all awakened. Many people screamed and walked out of their tents in panic to check.

What awaited them were angry faces and shiny weapons.

"set fire!"

The cavalry commander, Meng Tian, ​​yelled loudly.

The cavalry of the Qin Army holding torches began to light the tents of the Huns everywhere.

In an instant, the flames burned, and quickly began to spread under the violent wind.

"kill!"

"Destroy the Xiongnu and wipe out the Huyi!"

Behind the cavalry, a large number of infantry of the Qin army rushed up, shouting slogans, and using the fire, they hacked and killed the frightened Huns everywhere.

On a small hill in the south.

Zhao Tuo looked at the flames covering the sky in the distance, expressionless.

In his eyes, these Hu Yi barbarians who invaded Zhuxia should be extinct.

...

In the middle of countless yurts, in a small yurt near where the nobles of the Xiongnu lived.

"Goddess, can you send another heavenly soldier to rescue the orphan?"

Yan Wangxi was in a daze, still chanting his wish.

At this moment, he was suddenly awakened by the movement outside the yurt.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the shouts of various Huns entered his ears.

Yan Wangxi's first reaction was overjoyed.

"Heavenly Soldiers!"

There is a third update tonight.
