The sky was slightly bright, and the grassland was peaceful. It looked like a good day.
From time to time, cries could be heard coming from the Xiongnu camp. The entire camp was in a mess. A strong barbarian soldier walked out bare-chested in pants. He looked like a barbarian.
Not far away, Great Qin's army camp was already shouting out their daily drills.
The orderly formation and the loud and clear slogan made the barbarian soldiers envious.
In the commander's tent.
Ying Dan was holding a map. Chen Ping, Xin Qiji, and the others were all around her, studying something.
Chen Ping looked at the sand table. Ying Dan picked up a small red flag and placed it in a valley. There were two red flags behind it and a black flag opposite it.
"Young Master, do you mean to lure the enemy into your house?"“
As expected of Chen Ping, he could see through Ying Dan's intentions in a moment.
Seeing Ying Dan smile, Chen Ping continued,"Young Master, you are wise.“
Ying Dan then instructed the deputy general behind him,""This plan can only succeed, it cannot fail!”
Everyone nodded.
................
Inside the Great Qin camp at the Jiayu Pass.
Meng Tian was deciding on the strategy to go out of the city. This time, the target was the Xiongnu troops of the White Tiger Race that had attacked Shangdu City yesterday.
Suddenly, the latest military report came from the tent.
"Report!"
" Speak," Meng Tian said without raising her head.
"General, we have good news. The Xiongnu who besieged Xanadu City have retreated overnight."
Meng Tian's face was shocked, and she revealed a look of joy. Then, she began to frown. She was thinking, could it be that the Xiongnu had deliberately set up a trap to lure our army out of the city to meet the enemy?
"Why did the enemy retreat?”
"General, the Xiongnu retreated overnight and did not take many resources with them. Moreover, they killed many innocent people. If the Xiongnu wanted to retreat, they would not have killed these women and children now.”
After Meng Tian heard the report, she fell into deep thought. Was this the Xiongnu's plan, or did they really retreat?
Mo Duo of the White Tiger Group was a famous brave and resourceful person in the Xiongnu clan. He was deeply valued by the Chanyu King. Otherwise, he would not have sent him to the border of the Jiayu Pass, which was heavily guarded.
The battle in Xanadu City had made Meng Tian wary of this person and she needed to be careful.
He immediately looked at the soldiers underground and ordered,"Chuan Nan Guanyan, come quickly to receive the order."
Not long after, a valiant general of Great Qin, Nangong Yan, appeared in the tent.
This was Meng Tian's trump card. Nangong Yan led Great Qin's famous Golden Fire Cavalry, and they did not have many people.
They had followed Meng Tian for many years and could be said to be Great Qin's most elite troops. Unless it was a critical moment, Meng Tian would not use the Golden Fire Cavalry.
"General, Nangong Yan, come quickly to receive the order!”
"Alright, General Nangong, immediately choose 3,000 elite Cavalry and chase after the Xiongnu army. Don't linger and investigate the Xiongnu's intentions. I'll lead 50,000 of Great Qin's elites to bring up the rear."
This time, Meng Tian had sent out the most elite gold-armored firearms soldiers, so they would definitely be rewarded.
As expected, an urgent report came half a day later. Nangong Yan led his army and ambushed the Xiongnu army, leaving less than 1,000 people to escort them. The White Tiger Race's leader, Mo Duo, led 5,000 elites and rushed back to the tribe.
Hearing that a group of Great Qin's army had ambushed the White Tiger Race's tribe, Mo Duo rushed back to provide support.
Then who was the one who ambushed him?
Meng Tian's mind flashed as she thought of a figure. Then, she shouted,""Quick, bring me the map!
After saying that, he flipped open the map. The nearest place to the White Tiger Tribe was the inland river, which was the territory of the barbarians. Then, this place was the North Capital. Wasn't that the territory of Young Master Yingdan?
" They just won a great victory. He's probably the only one who dares to lead his troops deep into the city. He's indeed the young master of Great Qin." Meng Tian analyzed and nodded.
However, this was a very dangerous situation. If they went deep alone, it would be a disaster if the Xiongnu returned.
Meng Tian suddenly had a strong premonition that the one who attacked the Xiongnu camp was definitely Young Master Ying Dan!
He had been guarding the border for so many years, so he knew Ying Changying very well. Only Ying Dan could make it. No one else dared to do it.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was extremely bold! It was indeed Ying Dan's style, but Meng Tian felt that Ying Dan was a little too hasty. At the very least, she should have informed him.
Meng Tian's expression changed at the thought of the White Tiger Tribe returning 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. It was not because Great Qin did not have enough military power, but because if they wanted to conquer the Xiongnu, they would have to spend a lot of manpower, resources, and food.
How many people could Yingdan have? At most, there would be ten thousand people. If the Xiongnu returned to the grassland, it would be a very dangerous decision.
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 archers. If they wanted to destroy them all, they would have to have twice the number of troops. 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 Dan Yang, 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 military order. Order 50,000 soldiers to head north to Mount Yin!”
"Send my order, Nangong Yan, 3,000 gold firearms soldiers, open up a path ahead to support young master Ying Dan. I will lead the army and follow.”
……
In the Yinshan Mountain Range, a group of people was preparing something at the exit.
On the top of the mountain, a proud and upright figure stood there, looking into the distance as if he was thinking about something.
"Young Master, I have something to report." Footsteps sounded from behind.
It was Xin Qiji.
"Old Xin is here. Tell me."
"Yes, Young Master, we've already completed the tasks you've given us at the entrance of the valley. The troops have been deployed, and the Firearms Battalion is behind us. The Tiger Leopards are at the front, and Great Qin's Cavalrymen are ready.”
"Oh, you asked?"
"Young noble, if it's the leader of the White Tiger Race, I also have some understanding of him. As for returning to his tribe, this path is indeed the shortest. However, this pass is very obvious and it's very easy to set up an ambush.”
Ying Dan naturally knew Xin Qiji's worries and said frankly,""That won't happen; I believe in the Xiongnu people. They're arrogant, and they've obtained quite a bit in this period of time. They'll definitely be proud and complacent. This time, I'll definitely let them see how powerful Great Qin is.”
"Report, the scouts have reported that the Xiongnu troops are ten miles away from the valley entrance.”A messenger came with the latest news.
Only now did Xin Qiji know that everything was under Ying Dan's control.
