In the Qin army camp.
At this moment, the Qin army camp was filled with solemn gazes.
Because of the Xiongnu night attack a few days ago, the Qin camp was in a mess, but no one went to tidy it up.
This was because outside the Qin camp, there was a Xiongnu army of nearly 100,000 soldiers on their backs.
This was already all the troops that the Xiongnu Royal Court could mobilize.
A few days ago, the Xiongnu Chanyu thought that he had killed the backbone of the Qin army, Jiangning, and that he could take down the Qin army in one go.
But who knew that there were many brave generals in the Qin army.
Meng Tian's calm and steady command, as well as Wang Ben's bravery, had left the Xiongnu army in awe.
In addition, the Qin army had taken out all 5,000 Gongshu repeating crossbows, not caring about the consequences of storing the crossbow bolts. They all fired continuously, which resulted in the current stalemate.
However, this stalemate was only temporary. After all, Jiangning was the backbone of the entire Qin army camp. Without him, no matter how good Meng Tian's commanding ability was, she would not be able to stabilize the morale of the army.
In addition to the fact that the Xiongnu had dispatched all their forces and the rapid consumption of crossbow bolts, the last and most important point was that the Xiongnu had been defeated.
With a lack of water and food, the Qin army would be trapped to death sooner or later.
At this moment, in the largest tent of the Qin army camp.
Meng Tian, Wang Ben, and the other generals of the Qin army were gathered together.
"I've already said that it's inappropriate for General Jiang to attack the Xiongnu royal court, but a certain general insisted on sending me here.”
" Sigh, who isn't? It's not without reason that the Xiongnu Royal Court has existed for so long. I'm afraid that coming here rashly this time…Sigh…"
"Also, the whereabouts of General Jiang are unknown. I heard from the Xiongnu Chanyu that he seemed to have been killed by him, but I don't know if it's true!”
"Hey!"
………………
Below, the generals of the border cities who had come to reinforce the border cities were all whispering to each other.
Hearing the discussions of these generals, the generals from the border city watched coldly.
They did not believe that Jiang Ning had been killed by the Xiongnu Chanyu.
In their hearts, how could such a heroic general be killed by a mere Xiongnu?
At this moment, Meng Tian, who was sitting on the upper hand, swept her gaze across the crowd below. Her eyes were cold.
Now, the situation of the Qin army was indeed not good. This made those troops who were originally sent from other places feel even more resentful.
After a long time, Meng Tian spoke.
"Generals, our army is in danger this time, and the whereabouts of our general are unknown. We should work together to resist the enemy!”
"Humph! Collude with each other to resist the enemy together? General Meng, what a nice way to put it!"
When the voice sounded, a burly general stood up with a disdainful expression.
"Originally, a certain general did not agree to this battle with the Xiongnu royal court, but under the pressure of the Xianyang court, he had no choice but to send troops to help. However, General Jiang's whereabouts are now unknown. What's the point of this temporary alliance?”
After saying that, the burly general looked at Meng Tian with dissatisfaction.
Before Meng Tian could say anything, Wang Ben interrupted her.
"Humph! You're just a thousand-man commander. How dare you scold my deputy general? How dare you!”
Wang Ben's words caused a huge commotion, and the soldiers from the border town and the generals who came to the rescue started cursing at each other.
Looking at the chaotic scene below, Meng Tian felt a headache coming on.
Finally, Meng Tian could not take it anymore. After all, he was still a young man and did not have the demeanor of a general.
Pointing at the generals, Meng Tian shouted angrily,""Shut up!"
Hearing this thunderous roar, the generals shut their mouths and stared at Meng Tian in a daze.
Seeing that the tent had finally quieted down, Meng Tian coldly swept her gaze across the crowd.
Then, pointing at the burly general who had spoken earlier, Meng Tian said,""General Zhang, our common enemy is the Xiongnu army of 100,000, and that 100,000 is not something we can defeat by wasting our breath!”
"Haha."
General Zhang did not give Meng Tian any face. He sneered and said,""If it weren't for the civil officials in the Imperial Court blindly commanding us, how could so many things have happened?”
As he spoke, the burly general looked at Meng Tian with disdain." I can only say that your general is really resourceful. Not only those civil officials, but even the current Prime Minister, Lu Buwei, has put in a good word for her. Haha.”
Hearing the burly general's laughter, some of the generals outside the border city also burst into laughter.
Indeed, after the last court meeting, Jiangning was determined to be part of the Lu Party.
After that, Lu Buwei didn't deny or admit it, and Jiangning tacitly admitted it. Jiangning had been labeled as Lu Buwei.
Even so, the generals who were closest to Jiang Ning in Border City, although they were often in constant conflict, still admired Jiang Ning, who had led them to victory after victory.
Even if Jiang Ning had joined Lu Buwei's camp, which was not in harmony with the generals, they would never leave him.
In their opinion, as long as it was done by their general, no matter what it was, it would make sense.
Meng Tian trusted Jiangning so much, and so did the generals of the border towns.
This was also the special feature of the military and politics.
"Enough!"
Finally, Meng Tian could no longer tolerate the humiliation these generals had towards Jiangning.
Meng Tian coldly scanned the crowd and said,""Now that General Che's corpse is not cold and General Jiang's whereabouts are unknown, our army is in deep trouble. However, instead of advancing, you are complaining about this and that.”
As she spoke, Meng Tian paused for a moment and glanced at General Zhang. She then said,""General Zhang, you keep on inciting the morale of the army, and I have reason to believe that you are a spy sent by the enemy.”
"Men!"
Waving her hand, Meng Tian shouted," Take down this person who instigated the morale of the army. Lock him up in the prison. Don't let him take a single step out of the prison!"”
As soon as Meng Tian said this, a group of soldiers walked in from outside the tent.
