Before dawn, the sky was slightly white.
In front of Gaoque Pass, Great Qin's army had already formed a formation.
Not far from the Qin army's formation, countless rocks stood in the wilderness.
Amongst the rubble were the ruins of abandoned military fortresses, the rubble left behind during the construction of the Great Wall, and the scattered stones that had originally stood on the wasteland.
Further away was a vast and flat wasteland.
To the southwest of this desolate land was a massive desert, which had become a natural defensive line for Great Qin's territory. Gaoque Pass was right next to this desert.
To the north of the Wilderness was a boundless grassland.
The Qin people had almost never set foot on that piece of land. That piece of land was the exclusive pasture of the Xiongnu people.
The light cavalry of the Xiongnu were invincible on this natural grassland.
Even though they had been defeated many times, Great Qin had never posed a fatal threat to their Cavalry.
After all, as long as the Xiongnu people could not defeat Great Qin, they would use their Cavalry's speed to escape into the depths of the grasslands. This made Great Qin unable to do anything to them.
At the border between the Wilderness and the grasslands, the Xiongnu and their servant army, a total of 600,000 troops, were stationed here.
After being defeated by the Qin army, the Xiongnu people had rested for several years. This time, they had come to take revenge on Great Qin and plunder resources.
Outside the Xiongnu Chanyu's royal tent, a scout horse quickly walked into the tent and bowed to the Chanyu, who was sitting on a sheepskin cushion.
"Chief, the Qin people have come out of seclusion!"
"What?" Chanyu was so shocked that he instantly stood up from the cushion and stared at the scout with wide eyes.
He wasn't surprised because of fear, but because of joy. He was truly overjoyed.
"The people of Qin have always been as timid as mice, only daring to shoot arrows from the city walls. Now, they actually dare to come out of seclusion and fight us head-on?”
"Can you find out how many soldiers they have? Are there any ambushes? Is the leader Meng Tian?”
Chanyu hurriedly asked.
"Reporting to Chanyu," Tanma replied respectfully,"because the sky is still dark, we can't see it clearly. However, it can't be more than 300,000 soldiers."”
"There are no traces of other soldiers within a radius of thirty li.”
"As for the commander, it doesn't seem to be our old rival, Meng Tian. As for who it is, we have yet to find out.”
Hearing this, Chanyu immediately waved his hand and smiled."It's fine. It's enough."
"No matter who this Qin general is, it doesn't matter anymore.”
"Since they are foolish enough to fight our grassland wolf cavalry outside the pass, we will satisfy them and wipe out these Qin soldiers in one fell swoop.”
"Today, we will be able to lead our army south and enjoy Great Qin's sweet women, endless food, and enchanting food and wine.”
"Drinking horse milk every day, it's time to taste Great Qin's wine, hahaha!”
After laughing wildly for a while, Chanyu immediately waved his hand and said loudly to the outside of the tent,"Men."
"Immediately pass down the order to have the soldiers and our horses fill their stomachs. At dawn, we will go and slaughter the Qin dogs!”
"Understood!"
At the foot of Gaoque Pass.
All the Qin soldiers wore solemn expressions.
After a few days of fierce battle with the Xiongnu, they had fully experienced the cruelty and madness of the Xiongnu.
These Xiongnu people almost disregarded their losses and continued to climb up the city wall to fight fiercely with them. Due to the difference in numbers between the two sides, the city wall was almost lost for a while.
They relied on General Meng Tian to personally charge up the city wall to meet the enemy with the soldiers, stimulating the morale of the Qin army and barely holding on for a few days.
Gaoque Pass was only a small checkpoint and could not allow the Qin army to hold on for too long.
Without a large number of reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before they were breached.
However, all of the soldiers knew that behind them was Great Qin's vast territory.
In the northern region of Great Qin, there were countless people of Great Qin, including their families, friends, and loved ones.
Once Gaoque fell, there would be no natural barrier behind them that could stop the iron hooves of the Xiongnu.
Their families would most likely be mercilessly massacred by these executioners.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it was, they had to defend the high watchtower.
This was the belief of all the border guards stationed at the Great Wall.
Not to mention the soldiers, Meng Tian was looking nervously at the grassland in the distance.
He was a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. This emotion should not have appeared on his face.
However, they were about to face the wolf cavalry of the plains, which were several times larger than their army.
Without the natural barrier, facing these terrifying wolf cavalry, they might lose their lives here.
However…
When Meng Tian's gaze turned to Qin An's back, her heart inexplicably calmed down.
He recalled the time when he had destroyed the six dynasties. Qin An had used almost impossible military tactics countless times against the opposition of the masses.
However, every time, these tactics that others thought would never work, the Qin army would win a complete victory.
Whether it was besieging the 400,000-strong army of Zhao for seven days and seven nights, secretly crossing the Huai River to behead Shouchun, the capital of Chu, or diverting the Yellow River to flood Daliang, the capital of Wei.
In this kind of dangerous victory.
Qin An.
This was Great Qin's supreme commander.
They pushed Great Qin step by step to the throne of unifying the world.
No matter how impossible a battle tactic was, Qin An could turn it into a miracle when he used it.
Half of the bright red sun had already appeared in the distance.
In less than fifteen minutes.
The sky was about to brighten.
The hazy morning light shone on Qin An's face. It was solemn, quiet, and dignified, like an invincible god of war standing in the world.
What entered Qin An's eyes was the dark horizon in the distance. Further away was the grassland, the direction from which the Xiongnu came.
He was quietly waiting for the arrival of the Xiongnu cavalry. Facing the Xiongnu cavalry that was much faster than them, they could only remain unchanged.
In reality, after seeing the sheepskin map and observing the terrain of the battlefield, Qin An immediately chose to set up his formation behind the Messy Stone Forest.
These natural barriers could reduce the impact of the cavalry on this side.
As long as they placed heavy shields and spears on the other side, they would be able to keep the cavalry outside.
However, this was not enough to kill the Xiongnu cavalry.
If it was an ordinary general, he would naturally have to form a defensive formation of cavalry to passively defend and counterattack.
However, one had to know that Qin An was a martial grandmaster.
If he led his army out of the pass and lured the Xiongnu Chanyu forward, with his strength as a Great Grandmaster, as long as he killed the Xiongnu Chanyu, the remaining Xiongnu people would be leaderless and unable to continue attacking Great Qin. They would have to retreat to the grasslands.
This way, the disaster of the Xiongnu could be immediately resolved.
However, after Qin An signed in and obtained the masks of the Dark Shadow Ninjas, he immediately had a new idea.
Killing a Xiongnu Chanyu could only solve a temporary problem. When the Xiongnu people recovered, they only needed to elect another Chanyu and they could immediately make a comeback.
The barbarians are animals, afraid of power and not benevolent!
As long as these barbarians still had their forces, they would definitely pillage the Great Wall every year.
And every time, it would cause countless casualties among the Great Wall soldiers stationed in the north.
If he wanted the Xiongnu to never dare to invade Great Qin and ensure that the northern side of Great Qin was peaceful, he could only show his might!
The Dark Shadow Ninja Corps was omnipresent, moving freely through the battlefield.
Qin An wanted to use the Dark Shadow Ninja Corps to disrupt the enemy's cavalry and drag them all onto this battlefield.
Then, he used his power as a Great Grandmaster to cut off the arrogance of the Xiongnu and break the courage of the Xiongnu people.
He would not dare to think of going south for the next hundred years!
