The Xiongnu Heavenly Wolf Tribe broke camp overnight. Such a big movement immediately made the nearby Qin scouts vigilant.
When they found out that the Xiongnu were indeed returning, the Qin scouts could not believe their eyes.
"The Huns have left?"
……
The second is the camp of the Qin army.
After the three drums stopped, Meng Tian was about to assign the generals when the scouts rushed in.
"Great General, urgent military intelligence."
"Speak!"
"The Xiongnu Heavenly Wolf Tribe withdrew overnight, and the siege of the Upper Valley was lifted without a fight.”
"What?"
Meng Tian's expression changed, but the general's eyes were filled with surprise. He asked,""Is what you said true?"
"Absolutely true! This subordinate saw them heading in the direction of Jade Spring Mountain with his own eyes!”
"That's great!"
The general of the Qin army was overjoyed, but Meng Tian felt that something was wrong.
The Heavenly Wolf Tribe's retreat this time was very unreasonable.
Having been stationed at the border for so many years, Meng Tian had a deep understanding of the Xiongnu tribes. The Heavenly Wolf Tribe was quite famous in the entire Xiongnu. There were no less than ten thousand warriors in the tribe.
This time, the Heavenly Wolf Tribe had almost turned out in full force to plunder the south. They were also the ones who had caused the greatest harm to the border.
According to the tradition of the past years, these Xiongnu people would rarely stop until they plundered for more than a month.
Only a few days had passed.
Meng Tian frowned and said in a low voice," Have you investigated clearly? Why did the Xiongnu retreat?”
After Meng Tian finished speaking, the general of the Qin army looked at him in surprise.
This question was a little strange. After all, the Qin people could not wait for the Xiongnu to get out of here.
However, Meng Tian sensed something unusual.
As the commander of the three armies, he had to think further than others.
The Huns going north…could there be a trap?
the scout said hesitantly.
"I did hear some rumors. Just yesterday, someone attacked the old camp of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe and kidnapped their women, children, and livestock.”
"What I don't understand the most is…according to the scouts, the people who attacked the Heavenly Wolf Tribe were our own people.”
Halfway through his speech, the scout seemed to feel that it was a little unreal, but in fact, that was the information he had obtained.
"One of us?"
Meng Tian immediately stood up, shocked.
As the commander of the three armies, he had no idea that someone under him had attacked the enemy camp.
It was unbelievable.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across Meng Tian's mind.
For some reason, he thought of someone.
" Where is the Seventh Young Master now?" Meng Tian suddenly asked.”
The scout was shocked. He did not know why Meng Tian suddenly asked him this, but he still replied honestly,""After the Seventh Young Master went to Yanmen, he led his troops to Hetao.”
"Hetao…"
Meng Tian immediately took out a military topographic map and pointed at several places on the map.
From Shangjun to Yuquan Mountain, there was still Jiuyuan in front.
However, one day was enough to set off from Hetao!
Meng Tian suddenly had a strong premonition that the one who attacked the Xiongnu camp was Ying Changying!
He had been guarding the border for so many years, so he knew Ying Changying very well.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was extremely bold!
He was definitely capable of launching a surprise attack on the Xiongnu camp.
Meng Tian's expression changed at the thought of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe leaving camp overnight.
Going deep into enemy territory was a big taboo!
To be honest, he wanted to counterattack the Xiongnu more than anyone else. But in reality, the Qin army could not do this at all.
The Xiongnu was not a weak force, even though their population was far from the Central Plains.
However, the Xiongnu grew up on horseback, and everyone was a soldier!
The Xiongnu, big and small, had no less than 300,000 people controlling the bow!
In addition, the Qin Country's cavalry were not good at long-distance attacks. Once they entered the depths of the desert, they would be bitten by this group of hungry wolves and split up to devour them.
That would be a huge problem!
"Young Master Changying, you were too impulsive this time!”
Meng Tian looked at the map and pondered for a moment. She suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice," Pass on my orders. Immediately mobilize 50,000 troops and head north to the Yin Mountains!~~”
……
……
At the intersection of Shanggu County and the southern part of Yin Mountain, there was a mountain pass called Yin Wind Mountain Pass.
The north wind howled, and the sand was swept away.
When the sunset gradually faded, the sky finally darkened.
At the Yin Wind Mountain Pass, a bright torch suddenly rose from the mountain pass.
Soon after, more and more torches appeared in the valley.
Under the illumination of countless flames, a troop of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers was advancing.
The leader of the Xiongnu warriors was the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe.
Mordena turned around and glanced at the slow-moving team, a trace of violence flashing in his eyes.
"Bringing these damned Qin dogs, they're really slow. Looks like we won't be able to cross the pass tonight.”
He desperately wanted to go back and take back the women and livestock, but he was also unwilling to give up on the people he had taken from Great Qin.
Mordena frowned and said," Pass on my order. Set up camp in the valley and set off tomorrow morning.”
" Leader, there's someone ahead!"
As soon as Mordena finished speaking, a Xiongnu cavalryman suddenly shouted.
" What?!"
Mordena slowly turned his head and looked in the direction where the Xiongnu cavalrymen were staring. Thousands of torches suddenly lit up on the mountain ridges on both sides of the Yin Wind Mountain Pass.
Immediately after, groups of black cavalry appeared from the ridge like ghosts.
