After the time for half an incense stick to burn, nearly a thousand Xiongnu soldiers had been killed. At least three hundred of them had fallen under Ying Changqing's spear alone.
"This young master is so strong!"
"It's like a god descending to the mortal world!”
The young girl's eyes were filled with bewilderment. She almost thought that she was in a dream.
Although they had been looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, when they really arrived, the extent of their strength far exceeded everyone's imagination.
If such an invincible army had appeared earlier, perhaps the Xiongnu would not have been able to break into Wuzhou City.
"Are you alright?"
Ying Changqing stopped his horse in front of the young girl, and a trace of gentleness appeared in his eyes.
His ruthlessness was only directed at the Xiongnu barbarians. He had a good impression of these weak but courageous women.
It was not their fault that they had fallen into enemy hands. It was only the Imperial Court's negligence.
On the other side, the black-armored Cavalrymen had finished cleaning up the battlefield and had put down the wounded soldiers. Under their lead, they opened the dungeon and rescued nearly 100 prisoners of Great Qin's border army who had been imprisoned by the Xiongnu.
"Concubine Qi, thank you for saving my life, General!”
The young girl took a long time to regain her senses and hurriedly bowed.
"Rest well!"
Looking at the bloodstains on the girl's horn, Ying Changqing smiled faintly. He glanced at the wounded soldiers who had been rescued and said,"Who still has the strength to mount a horse? Do you have the courage to lead the way?”
"Yes!"
Those who could endure the torture of the Xiongnu until now were all brave warriors. They clenched their teeth and clenched their fists, looking at Ying Changqing with burning eyes.
Each of them had countless debts of blood that were waiting to be repaid with the lives of the Xiongnu!
"Very good. Leave a hundred cavalrymen to guard the City Lord's Mansion, treat the wounded, and organize the supplies. The rest of you, follow me. We must kill all the Xiongnu in the city tonight!”
Ying Changqing said coldly.
Judging from the situation of the Xiongnu soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion, the Xiongnu people in the city were not on guard at all. With the strength of the black-armored cavalry, with the guards leading the way, there was a high chance of wiping out the enemy in the city.
Apart from effectively killing the Xiongnu people, they could also rescue the people who were captured by the Xiongnu people and increase their strength.
Although these people could not go to the battlefield directly, they could prepare the city defense materials and be responsible for logistics.
Moreover, the commoners who had been rescued by the black-armored cavalry were the unyielding symbol of Great Qin's people and their hope for the future.
Government-run schools could impart knowledge, but it was very difficult to impart this unyielding pride.
This kind of backbone was what Ying Changqing valued the most.
Because it represented the backbone of a nation.
Old Qin could die in battle, he could throw away his life, but he would never yield!
......
Shangjun, the main tent of the Qin army.
The burning torch illuminated the grave expression on General Meng Tian's face.
"General!"
Just as Meng Tian was racking her brains to think of a plan to defeat the enemy, the tightly shut curtains of the tent were suddenly opened. A deputy general rushed in anxiously, bringing with him a strong wind that blew the blazing bonfire in the tent into flickering light.
Just like the battle at the border.
"What is it?"
Meng Tian's expression darkened when she saw the deputy general's hasty appearance.
"General, we have just received an urgent report. The Xiongnu army of about 20,000 people has bypassed the Great Wall Pass and breached Wuzhou County under Yanmen Prefecture. They are burning, killing, and looting in the city!”
The deputy general said anxiously.
"What?"
Meng Tian was shocked.
This was because the main opponent of the Yunzhong frontline was not the Xiongnu, but the Donghu.
Now that there were 20,000 Xiongnu troops attacking from this line, could it be that Donghu had colluded with the Xiongnu?
This was one of the top three powerful forces in the entire Great Prairie!
Even though they were repeatedly defeated by the Xiongnu, they still had 200,000 herdsmen and 100,000 soldiers.
"General, this group of grassland aliens must have colluded!
If the generals were caught off guard, they would probably suffer heavy losses!”
The deputy general said worriedly.
"No, even though these Xiongnu people can cause some losses to Great Qin, we don't dare to go too deep alone!”
Meng Tian laughed in a low voice." I have also deployed 30,000 soldiers in Shanwu City. It is enough to delay the Xiongnu's attack!"”
"Pass on my orders. Send another 10,000 cavalrymen to Yanmen County and set off immediately without delay!”
"The rest of the cavalry, spread out and take turns to keep watch over the various passes. We must not allow such a situation to happen again!”
"Right!"
Meng Tian suddenly thought of something and asked,""Is there any news about Young Master Changqing?"
"General, we haven't received it yet!”
The deputy general said with a troubled expression.
With the urgency of the war, as the deputy general of the 300,000 strong army, how could he care about the life and death of a silkpants young master?
In his opinion, once this silkpants young master saw the ferocious appearance of the Xiongnu people, he would naturally retreat.
Wasting precious military power to find such a young master was purely a crime.
"You can go do your work!"
Meng Tian waved her hand.
As Great Qin's Great General, who was second only to Wang Jian, Meng Tian's judgment was naturally much better than the Deputy General.
Not only did he see the importance of the First Emperor's decree, but he also had a new perspective after analyzing Ying Changqing's actions in detail.
Even though this Young Master Changqing, who had suddenly risen to prominence, was extremely ruthless and notorious among the nobles, it was a good thing for the Great Qin Dynasty and the people of Great Qin.
By getting rid of Zhao Gao and Xu Fu, he had cleared out the parasites in the court and cleared up the atmosphere in the Great Qin's officialdom.
They had ruthlessly dealt with the remaining members of the Six Nations and cut off Great Qin's greatest threat. They had also seized a large amount of money and food to replenish the already dried up national treasury.
If it wasn't for the money and food, Great Qin would have suffered even greater losses when the Xiongnu suddenly attacked!
Compared to the safety of the country, what were the heads of hundreds or thousands of survivors of the Six Nations?
Although he had left behind a name of tyrant, in Meng Tian's opinion, Ying Changqing was much stronger than the cowardly, soft-hearted, and benevolent Eldest Young Master Fu Su.
Especially this Young Master Changqing, who also had pretty good attainments in the military.
To be able to defeat Wang Li, who was born into a family of generals and had been through many battles, was definitely not something that an ordinary person could do.
The only thing he was worried about was that this young master was too young and arrogant.
If that happened, it would be a small matter if Meng Tian was dealt with, but if Great Qin did not have a successor in the future, it would be a huge problem.
Meng Tian sighed helplessly.
Forget it, it was better to defeat the Xiongnu army first before thinking about other things.
Even Meng Tian did not dare to be careless with the 200,000 strong cavalry. She did not dare to be distracted at this time.
He could only hope that this infamous young master could create miracles as usual.
