After crossing the North River
Great Qin's three armies and the Xiongnu army started a series of battles, and both sides fought back and forth, creating an incredibly tragic scene.
The three armies were like three iron swords, fiercely stabbing into the heart of the grassland!
The Xiongnu attacked again and again, but they did not disrupt their pace at all. They could not stop their path. They were only seeking their own destruction.
Mao Dun's plan had failed!
No one could stop the Qin army!
Furthermore, the vast plains did not slow down the Qin army. They were one man and two horses, and their speed was extremely fast. In just half a month, they had advanced to the vicinity of Touman Royal City.
Li Xin, Tu Sui, and Meng Tian led the troops to gather!
A total of four to five hundred thousand troops spread out for a hundred miles, scaring the Xiongnu people on the city wall.
"Damn it, damn it!"
"They're here, they're really here!"
"Did these Qin people take the wrong medicine?"
"Why are you chasing after us? Are you trying to completely destroy us?”
The Xiongnu tribes were in an abnormal panic. At this moment, most of the Xiongnu people on the prairie had gathered in the royal city. A total of 170,000 or 180,000 people had squeezed this small royal city so tightly that not even water could leak out.
Outside the city was a large number of enemy troops, which made people feel despair.
"Everyone, don't panic!" Touman pretended to be calm and comforted them." Our city walls are tall. They can't break in. The gods are protecting us. What are you afraid of?!"”
"The city walls are tall?"
Behind the crowd, Mao Dun revealed a bitter smile!
The city walls of the imperial city were only seven to eight meters tall. It was just a simple city of stone and mud. There was a lack of materials on the grasslands, so it was impossible to build a big city!
This was also the only city on the prairie. How tall could it be?
The frog at the bottom of the well thought that he could rely on this city to defend.
If they were to fight, they would be finished in less than half a day.
"The Xiongnu are finished. We have to think of a way out!”
Mao Dun's eyes flickered as he pondered.
However, before he could think of a way out.
A cavalryman from the opposing Qin army dashed out and approached the Xiongnu Royal City. He shouted loudly,"Xiongnu King Touman, listen up. His Majesty the First Emperor of the Great Qin has ordered that if you hand over Mao Dun, I will leave your corpse intact. If you don't obey, the Xiongnu will not spare even chickens and dogs!”
The Xiongnu people on the city wall were all stunned for a moment before they looked at Mao Dun in unison!
The Qin Emperor actually wanted him? What was the meaning of this?
"Oh no!"
Mao Dun's expression changed drastically. He had originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to quietly retreat with his men in order to make a comeback.
But he never thought that the situation would turn out like this!
He had never been to Great Qin, nor had he offended Ying Zheng, so how could he be targeted by him? And he even specifically asked for him?
"Father, you can't!" Mao Dun roared anxiously." The Qin Emperor is trying to drive a wedge between us. He said that he would spare your corpse if you hand me over. It's clearly impossible for us to negotiate. Let's fight them to the death!"”
"Humph!"
Touman snorted angrily.
If Ying Zheng had given the order to hand over Mao Dun, he would have done so without hesitation.
But now that he had to hand over Mao Dun to keep his corpse intact, he would be stupid to agree.
"Inform the rest to prepare to defend the city!" The leader roared.
"Father is wise!" Mao Dun heaved a sigh of relief and quickly shouted,""Your son will go and reorganize the troops and fight with these dogs!”
"Wait!" "You stay here and don't go anywhere!"”
Mao Dun's face turned pale when he heard the leader's order.
Although Touman didn't know why the Qin Emperor had targeted Mao Dun, he knew that his youngest son wasn't simple.
The great war was imminent, and he could not be allowed to cause trouble!
Thus, Mao Dun was forced to stay on the city wall, unable to escape even if he wanted to.
The Qin army on the grassland outside the city was ready to fight!
The army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers continued to approach, looking aggressive. Every soldier had a contemptuous smile on their faces, not putting the Xiongnu people in their eyes at all.
"Generals, how many wooden hand grenades do you have?”Meng Tian used binoculars to observe the city wall in the distance while saying to Li Xin and Tu Sui,""Why don't we gather all the grenades in our hands and smash them into the palace to blow up this city wall?”
"Good, this is a good idea!"
"I still have 3,000 grenades!"
"I have five thousand!"
Li Xin and Tu Sui both agreed with this proposal!
If the hundred-thousand Xiongnu people were to defend the palace, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. Before the battle, Ying Zheng had warned them that once they attacked the palace, they had to throw out all the grenades!
This was a death order. They naturally did not dare to hide it!
In the end, Li Xin took out 3,000 grenades, Tu Sui took out 5,000, and Meng Tian took out 6,000. The total number of wooden hand grenades that the three of them took out exceeded 14,000.
"Gather all the ballistae and tie up grenades!”
"Hurry up! Beat the drums!"
"Ballista formation, attack!"
Over a thousand ballistae had already been equipped with grenades, and after igniting them, they began to fire at Touman King City!
A large number of crossbow bolts pierced into the city walls, city walls, or even into the city!
In the next moment, more than 3,000 grenades exploded crazily.
Rumble!
Bursts of flames soared into the sky, and the earth shook!
In an instant, more than half of the city wall of Touman Royal City collapsed.
The low walls made of mud could not withstand a beating at all. With a burst of explosions, the walls collapsed. A large number of soldiers screamed miserably as they were either killed or buried by the walls!
Explosions were everywhere in the city as well, and there were fires everywhere!
Many tents were engulfed by the fire, and the cows and sheep fled in fear. The scene was chaotic!
"Continue, shoot!"
"Third round, shoot!"
Bombardment after bombardment came one after another.
Touman King City was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire. Countless Xiongnu people died tragically in the explosions. Many people knelt on the ground in fear and kowtowed desperately as they watched this scene that was like divine punishment!
"Heavens, is this God punishing us?”
"Help, help!"
"No, how could this be?"
