At the same time, ten miles away from the Xiongnu Palace, a group of black-armored cavalrymen with cold expressions stood solemnly.
There was complete silence. This army did not make a single sound. Even the warhorses under them lowered their heads and did not make a single sound. They were like statues.
At this moment, a young general in black armor withdrew his gaze from the heavily-guarded city in the plains.
"General, our army is now less than five kilometers away from the Xiongnu Royal Court. Should we go all out and defeat the Xiongnu Royal Court?”
Beside him, a tall and sturdy young general looked at the young general and said with an expectant expression.
Beside this young general was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The young man rolled his eyes and said," Wang Ben, don't talk nonsense. If we rush over now, we'll be nothing but fish on the chopping block. It's no different from sending ourselves to our deaths."”
" Meng Tian," Wang Ben said angrily," most of the vassal armies of the Xiongnu are being held back by the border cities, and we have the help of nearly twenty thousand reinforcements from other places. With our current strength, we don't need to be afraid of the Xiongnu!"”
Meng Tian ignored Wang Ben and turned to look at the young man, Jiang Ning.
"General, although our army has come with great momentum, the Xiongnu Royal Court is also strong. We…"
However, before Meng Tian could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiang Ning.
Looking at the boundless grassland, Jiang Ning said slowly,""I know. There must be a reason why the Xiongnu Royal Court has been able to exist for so many years.”
Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Meng Tian's face lit up." General, you're right.”
But at this moment, Jiang Ning waved his hand and continued,""However, as long as General Che's body is in the Xiongnu city tower, I will feel uneasy. Thus, we must quickly enter the Xiongnu palace and retrieve General Che's body.”
"This…"
Meng Tian was speechless. Although she did not agree with attacking the Xiongnu Royal Court now, what Jiang Ning said made sense.
As long as the body of Old General Che was in the hands of the Xiongnu, their faces would be trampled on by the Xiongnu. This was something that the proud Qin soldiers could not tolerate.
"Gongshu Chou, did you bring anything today?”
At this moment, Jiang Ning turned to a one-armed old man beside him and asked.
Gongshu Chou cupped his hands and bowed respectfully."Reporting to General, although the time is a little rushed, this old man has already ordered people to rush out a batch while General is contacting the various forces. I hope General will accept it.”
As he spoke, Gongshu Chou gave the Gongshu family members he had brought a look.
Seeing Gongshu Chou's gaze, the Gongshu family member naturally understood.
He hurriedly brought over the dozen large carriages that he had pulled along the way.
At this moment, the carriages were covered with black cloth.
Meng Tian and Wang Ben looked at the carriages in confusion.
"General, what exactly is this? Why is it covered with such a mysterious cloth along the way?”Meng Tian asked curiously.
Jiang Ning pursed his lips and said,"This is the weapon I prepared for you."”
As he spoke, Jiang Ning gestured to the Gongshu family members on both sides of the carriage.
The members of the Gongshu family lifted the black cloth and directly presented the mysterious item that had attracted the curiosity of the Qin soldiers along the way.
"This is…"
Meng Tian was a little shocked because the carriage in front of her was filled with bows and arrows..
The State of Qin also had bows and crossbows, but this bow in front of him was a little different from the State of Qin's bow and crossbows. Its size was a little more exquisite and small, and there were many mechanisms and wheels on it.
"This is the latest Gongshu repeating crossbow developed by the Gongshu family.”Jiang Ning explained.
"General, why can't I see how powerful this Gongshu Repeating Crossbow is?”Wang Ben asked as he fiddled with a Gongshu repeating crossbow.
"Hehe, you'll have to ask our old Mister Gongshu Chou about this.”
With a faint smile, Jiang Ning stopped talking and turned to look at Gongshu Chou.
Stroking his beard, Gongshu Chou introduced with a smug expression,""This Gongshu Repeating Crossbow is indeed much more powerful than the Qin Crossbow. Whether it's penetration or range, it's far superior to the Qin Crossbow. What makes it stand out even more is its crossbow mechanism that can shoot 50 arrows in a row.”
"So powerful!" Wang Ben looked at the exquisite crossbow in his hand in surprise.
"Of course, this is…"
Gongshu Chou was about to help Jiang Ning brag again, but he was interrupted by Jiang Ning's dry cough.
"Ahem."
He coughed dryly and interrupted Gongshu Chou.
Then, Jiang Ning introduced Meng Tian and Wang Ben,""Although I ordered the Gongshu family to work day and night, we only managed to produce 5,000 Gongshu repeating crossbows. They won't have a subversive effect on this battle, so in the end, we still have to rely on ourselves.”
As he spoke, Jiang Ning looked at the Xiongnu royal court and his expression became extremely grim." The soldiers of our border city are about to flatten a huge tumor on this grassland!”
……………
The war had been going on day and night.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties.
On the open space in front of the Xiongnu palace tower, blood and fire mingled.
Countless corpses were piled up there. No one dared to collect them because there was no time for them to collect the corpses.
This time, the Qin army's offensive was unprecedentedly fierce. This time, the Qin army had 30,000 soldiers because of the reinforcements from various parts of the Qin country. They were evenly matched with the nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Xiongnu Royal Court.
Of course, the Xiongnu royal court did not only have these soldiers, but you have to know that the border of the Qin country does not only have one important city.
This time, many vassal tribes of the Xiongnu royal court had gone to various important cities to confront them.
Obviously, the battle between the 10,000 soldiers of the border city and the 100,000 soldiers of the Xiongnu royal court would determine the victory or defeat of this battle.
