Although Liu Dao was prepared to fight a little more unrestrained this time, pretending to be a hot-tempered and reckless man.
However, hot-tempered and brainless were different.
The Xiongnu vanguard had a total of more than 20,000 people. Other than the 10,000 soldiers who had attacked the city earlier, there were more than 10,000 troops in the camp.
Liu Daozhen was going to lead the remaining five thousand cavalrymen.
They charged at the tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers who were on guard.
It was hard to say whether they could defeat the enemy in the end. If they rushed to the front of the enemy's formation, they would have to endure at least seven or eight rounds of arrows.
Liu Dao was naturally fine, but the cavalry under him could not stop him.
In the end, he would be lucky if he could only have one or two thousand left.
Cavalrymen in this era were rare goods.
Great Qin only had 10,000 Cavalry.
After all, in an era where there were no double stirrels, one had to train to be able to fight on a horse.
It was too difficult for a real cavalry to not be knocked over by the impact.
Carriages were drawn by horses, and the majority of the soldiers fought on the chariots.
However, the chariot soldiers were much slower than the cavalry. They were only slightly faster than the infantry, and their agility was even worse.
Liu Dao despised her for not being able to keep up with his pace.
Although the grassland tribes claimed that all of them grew up on horseback, and they could easily pull out hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen, in reality, most of them could be called mounted infantry.
Many of them rode on horses and then dismounted to fight.
Most of the cavalrymen archers waited for their horses to stop before they started shooting.
This was also the reason.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Central Plains clearly did not have many horses, but it was one of the reasons why any feudal lord could use infantry to beat up the grasslands.
The Yan Country, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, had lost several civil wars in the Xia Dynasty, ceding territory and paying reparations.
It was by relying on the continuous expansion of the grasslands that it managed to maintain some of its reputation.
The territory that was opened later was almost larger than the original territory of the Yan Country.
Unfortunately, before they could fully digest it, Great Qin had directly pushed them away.
On Liu Dao's side.
In order to preserve the few cavalrymen under his command.
In addition to the fact that they had just rushed over, Liu Dao's army of more than a hundred thousand soldiers was also tired and needed to rest.
Liu Dao also stopped while he was ahead. After seeing that he could no longer take on the Xiongnu soldiers attacking the city, he directly gave up.
He ordered the troops to withdraw.
He let Huang Hai bring hundreds of thousands of troops and set up camp outside the city, forming a horn with the frontier fortress.
To have hundreds of thousands of troops stay in this small frontier fortress, not only did it seem crowded, it was even more difficult to use.
The city walls could only accommodate four to five thousand soldiers at most.
At that time, most of the troops could only wait and see.
Liu Dao led 20,000 soldiers and walked directly to the city gate of the frontier fortress.
These 20,000 soldiers were sent by Liu Dao to help defend the city.
The moment they entered the city.
"Divine Might! Divine Might! Divine Might!"
The soldiers guarding the city shouted in unison.
He used this simple method to express his admiration for Liu Dao.
Everyone looked at Liu Dao, who was walking at the front of the team, with admiration in their eyes.
He looked at Liu Dao as if he was looking at a god.
Liu Dao's ability to lead troops was far from being a military strategist, and he could not compare to Han Xin, who had a long history.
However, in the eyes of ordinary people, Liu Dao's strength was more intuitive.
In this era, military books were already treated as a secret collection by many people. There were not many people who could really see the use of military strategies and the secrets of deploying troops.
In the eyes of most of the soldiers, Liu Dao's terrifying strength was more worthy of respect and trust.
Although the soldiers behind Liu Dao were mostly infantrymen, they were just there for show and didn't follow Liu Dao to charge into the formation.
After all, Liu Dao had brought these soldiers here to help the soldiers in the city defend, and the cavalry could not defend the city.
However, seeing the cheers of his colleagues in the city, the Qin soldiers led by Liu Dao also felt honored.
Liu Dao involuntarily felt a little proud when he saw this.
"Ha, this feels good."
Liu Dao thought to himself.
Humans were creatures that liked to act cool, and Liu Dao was no exception.
How could Liu Dao not feel a little smug after acting in front of so many people and succeeding?
Not long after, the city guard arrived in front of Liu Dao and met him.
The person was dressed in a military uniform. He was indeed mighty at such a young age.
He came in front of Liu Dao and cupped his hands.
"Jiuyuan Prefectural Lieutenant Li You greets General Shen Wei.”
"Oh, and it's an acquaintance. Li You, isn't he the county governor of San Chuan? Why are you here?"
Liu Dao felt that the person was familiar. When he heard the other party introduce himself, he instantly understood.
In the Myths storyline, Li You also appeared in the later stages.
She was the son of Prime Minister Li Si and fell in love with Gao Yao's younger sister, Xiao Yue, who was later known as Concubine Yu.
Gao Yao, who had turned into a dark person, had wanted to get married and get closer to Li Si.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yue would rather die than submit. In the end, Li You let Xiao Yue and Yi Xiaochuan leave.
Whether it was in history or in the Myths, they were all loyal to Great Qin.
In the end, when the heroes rose up, they fought against the anti-Qin army and died in the end.
"Oh, right. In the plot, Li You was also Meng Tian's disciple, so he should have been at the frontier fortress. He probably only became the governor of San Chuan County after making contributions.”
Liu Dao thought about it and roughly guessed what was going on.
"But speaking of which, Gao Yao has been rescued by me. According to the plan, he won't return to Xianyang for a long time after returning from this expedition.”
Liu Dao calculated in his heart.
However, on the surface, Liu Dao remained calm and collected. He only smiled and replied to the other party. Then, he took out the imperial edict and Meng Tian's transfer order to prove his identity.
He looked a little cold and businesslike.
As for Li You, Liu Dao admired his loyalty and unwavering determination.
Moreover, Li You could be considered brave, resourceful, and upright. He was considered a good talent.
However, knowing that he was loyal to Great Qin, Liu Dao did not have much intention of becoming close to him.
After all, if they could not recruit him, then when Liu Dao rebelled against Qin in the future, the two of them would be opponents.
"The comparison is correct. Please keep the things well, General.”
Li You nodded and returned it to Liu Dao.
Liu Dao took it and nodded casually,"
"You're welcome."
Then, Li You raised his hand with a warm smile and gestured behind him as he said,"
"General, please follow me into the city."
"Alright."
Liu Dao naturally had no objections.
