"Pass on my orders. Each city will leave a thousand soldiers to defend the city. The rest of the soldiers will wait outside the city!”
"We must assemble before dark!”
"Also, no soldiers are allowed to bring food or water!”
"All of you, starve!"
"When we take down the Xiongnu imperial city, we'll bury the pot and cook!”
"Those who disobey orders will be punished according to military law!”
After Meng Tian ran out, she gave two orders in succession. Then, she hurried to the barracks and personally went to distribute the warhorses.
His younger brother had just sent over 100,000 warhorses, and he still had 90,000 warhorses that had been eliminated. After nailing their hooves, they could once again enter the battlefield!
These 190,000 warhorses could equip 190,000 cavalry.
In addition, Zhang Han had brought 70,000 cavalrymen with him yesterday, which added up to 260,000!
These 260,000 Great Qin Cavalry were enough to wipe out the Xiongnu!
At this moment, he had already made up his mind. Even if he had to risk his life, he would destroy the Xiongnu within a month!
What a joke!
The Crown Prince even dared to kill the three dukes and nine ministers. If he couldn't complete his mission, he would definitely be dismissed from his post and made to go home to coax his children!
At that time, he would be utterly humiliated!
"It seems that your big brother is not so muddle-headed that he can't differentiate the severity of the matter!”
Seeing Meng Tian, who had been disapproving of the Crown Prince's orders, now panicking, Zhang Han could not help but laugh.
"That's for the best!"
"If we miss the opportunity and fail to complete the mission His Highness the Crown Prince gave us, that would be troublesome!”
Looking at his big brother's busy back, Meng Yi finally put down the pill he was holding.
Just now, he was afraid that his big brother would be ignorant and disrespect the Crown Prince!
Now, it seemed that his big brother was still sensible and did not disappoint him!
"Report…!"
"General, there is a Xiongnu cavalry in the southwest of Ye City. They have taken many cattle, sheep, and captives and are heading towards the Xiongnu capital!”
As the two of them were talking, a scout horse hurried over to report.
"How many Xiongnu bastards are there?”
Zhang Han frowned and quickly asked.
According to Meng Tian, in the past, there were scouts who reported this kind of information almost every day.
But they were powerless!
There was no other reason than the lack of cavalry. By the time the infantry arrived, the Xiongnu had already fled!
In addition, there were Xiongnu cavalry outside the city. If the infantry went out and encountered the Xiongnu, it would be a dead end.
But now, it was different. He had brought seventy thousand cavalry with him!
These were originally the infantry that he had transferred from Xianyang, but the Crown Prince had suddenly obtained 300,000 warhorses. Thus, these 70,000 infantry were all changed into cavalry!
In addition, the Meng Army still had 90,000 warhorses that had been eliminated due to their worn out hooves. After these warhorses were nailed with horseshoes, they could equip another 90,000 cavalrymen!
Adding on the 100,000 warhorses that Meng Yi had brought, there were now 200,000 or so Great Qin Cavalrymen!
With these 200,000 cavalry, if the Xiongnu dared to invade the south and slaughter villages again, they would definitely not be able to return.
"There are quite a number of people, about 30,000 to 40,000!”
"They are the Xiongnu army that besieged Ning City. It seems that they have received an order from the palace to retreat!”
" But before they retreated, they burned, killed, and plundered all the way to the south. They only retreated to the north after robbing a large number of cattle and sheep!”
The scout general reported the information he had gathered.
"Good!"
"Use them to sacrifice to this general's flag!”
"Come on, gather your troops and follow me immediately!”
Hearing that there were only 30,000 to 40,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen, Zhang Han was relieved. He immediately gathered his troops and charged out of the city.
Meng Yi and Wang Ben, who had just arrived at Ye City, heard that there was going to be a battle, so they quickly informed Meng Tian and left the city with some soldiers!
……
"Pa!"
"Hurry up and leave!"
"If you dare to dawdle again, I'll chop off your head!”
Southwest of Ye City, there were thirty to forty thousand Xiongnu cavalry escorting thousands of captives and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep as they slowly marched north.
The Xiongnu soldiers responsible for escorting the captives whipped them from time to time, urging them to leave quickly.
Because there were too many spoils of war, the army of 30,000 to 40,000 people stretched for more than a mile.
These captives and cows and sheep slowed them down.
"Commander Zha Da, it's almost noon. Why don't we set up camp and eat before leaving?”
"Look at those beautiful women, how about…?”
A small leader rode his horse to the front of Commander Zanda and pointed at the few women among the captives, smiling lewdly.
"Good!"
"After the tents are set up, send them to my tent!”
"In any case, after returning to the capital, I still have to hand over the spoils of war!”
"Why don't I play until I'm done?”
"Haha…!"
Commander Zanda glanced at the women and laughed out loud.
"Commander Zha Da has ordered the troops to stop!”
"Set up camp immediately and bury the meat in the pot!”
"I'll return to the capital after I'm full!"
The leader was delighted and quickly rode his horse down to pass down the order.
The reason why he suggested the commander to stop and rest was because he wanted to play with a few female captives before returning to the capital!
"Commander, this place is not far from Ye City. I'm afraid it's not good to set up camp here, right?”
"If the Meng army comes, it will be very troublesome!”
Seeing the long line of soldiers suddenly stop and set up camp, the deputy commander said worriedly.
"Don't worry!"
"The Meng family army has less than five thousand cavalrymen. If they dare to come, I will make sure they never return!”
"Even if they go all out, there's nothing to be afraid of!”
"Isn't it just tens of thousands of infantry? I can kill them with a charge!”
"Even if we take ten thousand steps back, we are not their match. We are all cavalrymen, so we ran away like a wisp of smoke!”
"The Meng army is full of infantry, they can't catch up to us!”
"Come on, set up a pot of stewed meat!"
"Eat and drink…!"
Zanda did not take the Deputy Commander's words to heart. He urged his subordinates.
"This…?"
"Sigh…!"
The vice commander sighed helplessly and prepared to eat.
An hour later, the tent was set up, and the mutton in the pot smelled delicious.
"Let me go!"
"You bastards!"
"Go, it's your fortune that our commander has taken a fancy to you, haha…!”
The Huns escorted three beautiful women to Zada's tent.
Along the way, the Xiongnu people laughed loudly. The three women had disheveled hair and disheveled clothes!
"Wow, it's quite strong!"
"I like it!"
"Haha…!"
Seeing the three women's fierce resistance, Zanda was not angry. Instead, his interest was aroused.
"Tie the three of them up for this commander. This commander wants to play with them!”
In the tent, Zanda took a sip of wine and ordered with a laugh.
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers tied ropes and pulled their clothes as they hurriedly got to work.
"Rumble…!"
Suddenly, the earth rumbled as if there was an earthquake.
Moreover, the sound was getting closer and closer!
"What happened?"
"Quickly go out and take a look!"
Zanda, who was preparing to eat, heard the noise and quickly put on his robe and ran out.
"Not good, Commander, the Meng Army is coming!”
Before he could run out of the tent, he saw a guard coming to report in a panic.
"Meng family's army?"
"Are they all soldiers?"
Zanda asked.
Such a loud rumble sounded like the sound of horse hooves.
How could they be infantry?
However, he had always thought that the Meng Army only had less than five thousand cavalrymen, so he subconsciously thought that it was infantry.
"No!"
"They are all cavalrymen, and many of them!”
"I can't see the end at a glance!"
As expected, the soldier shook his head.
"Impossible!"
"Get lost!"
Zanda found it hard to believe. He pushed the guard away and ran out of the tent.
However, everything in front of him made him feel despair!
Not far away, a dense group of cavalrymen was charging over!
Moreover, from the fluttering Black Dragon Flag, it could be seen that this was Great Qin's army.
"Hurry!"
"Don't just stand there!"
"Get on the horse!"
"Prepare to face the enemy!"
After seeing the enemy's army, Zanda panicked. He looked for his warhorse and ordered his men.
However, many of the Xiongnu soldiers who had just been eating and drinking thought that their cavalry had arrived.
Some continued to eat and drink, while others craned their necks to look around!
This time, they had not encountered Great Qin's Cavalry at all.
So, just like Zha Da, many people didn't believe that the Meng Army had so many cavalrymen.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
However, by the time they were sure that it was Great Qin's cavalry and hurriedly mounted their horses, Zhang Han's black armored elite cavalry had already arrived.
"Puff, puff…!"
Great Qin's black-armored elite cavalry charged into the enemy camp and slashed down wildly. Before the Xiongnu soldiers could even mount their warhorses, they were already dead!
"Don't let any of these bastards off!”
"The two of you, lead 20,000 soldiers and surround us from the north!”
"If one of you escapes, this general will hold the two of you accountable!”
"Yes, sir! I accept your orders!"
In order to capture these 30,000 to 40,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen in one fell swoop, Zhang Han immediately gave the order to surround them!
If 70,000 black-armored elite cavalry could not even kill 40,000 Xiongnu, wouldn't Meng Tian and his brother laugh at them when they returned?
"Rumble…!"
"Kill!"
However, just as he was about to claim the credit, he heard a loud noise behind him. Meng Yi and Wang Ben were approaching with tens of thousands of men!
"These two guys are really fast!”
"I rushed all the way, but I couldn't shake them off!”
Seeing the two of them come to snatch his credit, Zhang Han did not dare to be negligent. He personally led the army and charged towards the Xiongnu!
With just one charge, more than half of the thirty to forty thousand Xiongnu soldiers were killed or injured!
"Charge north!"
"Charge out!"
Seeing so many Meng soldiers charging over, Zha Da's fighting spirit instantly disappeared. He led thousands of remaining soldiers and charged towards the north.
