Twenty-six years later.
September.
At the northern border of Great Qin.
Since the beginning of the month, a large number of Xiongnu troops had invaded the south.
The commander of the Qin army, Meng Tian, sent more troops overnight to reinforce the various regions.
In the past month,
Many small-scale wars were fought, but the results were minimal.
The Xiongnu came and went like the wind. The Qin army lacked horses, so their mobility was much worse.
Almost every time Great Qin's army arrived, the Xiongnu people would flee.
They could only watch helplessly as the villages were turned into ashes under the looting of the Xiongnu.
…………
Nine Peaks Mountain.
It was a mountain in the Northern Lands.
Although it was not high, the terrain was extremely complicated.
In the wilderness.
"Plop ~"
"Plop ~"
A group of Xiongnu people wearing animal skins and beast armor threw the cold corpses of the Qin people onto the ground.
A burly Xiongnu man walked over and pulled out a dagger. The Xiongnu people behind him followed suit and took out their sharp weapons.
"Take the meat!"
With a loud shout, the Xiongnu people were like hungry wolves.
The corpses of Great Qin's residents were like livestock as they were cut open and their internal organs dug out.
Then, he cut off large pieces of human flesh and wrapped them up with oilcloth to hang on his waist.
These were the rations they had prepared.
"Wah ~~ Wah ~~"
A few crows were attracted by the thick blood aura and flew over with their wings flapping.
A pair of small black eyes looked at the corpses on the ground, flickering with greed.
He picked up a small piece of minced meat and flew away.
"Puchi ~"
"Puchi ~"
In the vast wilderness.
Only the sound of sharp weapons cutting through flesh and bones could be heard.
After a while.
Only then did the Xiongnu leader retract his dagger and wipe it on his greasy linen clothes. He waved his hand and said.
"Alright, that's enough!"
Only then did the Xiongnu people stop cutting the meat.
Then, he threw the internal organs and bones into the pit and buried them.
Soon, everything was cleaned up.
Only the huns had a dozen catties of "rice and meat" hanging from their waists.
With these rations, they could march hundreds of miles.
And the extra hundreds of miles…
This meant that many more Great Qin Villages would be plundered by them.
After so many years.
Every time the Xiongnu plundered the south, they would only bring three days 'worth of food at most.
There was almost no baggage, so they could come and go like the wind.
Using battle to nurture battle was their strategy.
In their eyes, Great Qin's residents were no different from two-legged sheep.
Suddenly, at this moment.
A Xiongnu scout ran over excitedly and shouted,""Chief, there's a situation!"
"Hmm?"
"What's going on?" The Xiongnu leader glared at him.”
"There are brothers outside who have found traces of the Qin army!" the scout hurriedly said.”
"Bullshit!"
The Xiongnu leader slapped the back of the scout's head and cursed.
"Didn't the Qin army come ten days ago? They've already entered Beidi County, and you still found a ball?”
"No…no, it's not this Qin Jun.”
The Xiongnu scout was clumsy with his words. After a long time, he finally said,"It's not the main force of the Qin army, but a grain transport team. What we found was a grain transport team!”
"Hmm?"
The Xiongnu leader's eyes lit up.
The Xiongnu people at the side also surrounded him.
"Grain transport team?"
"How many people are there? Is there a lot of food?”
If they met the main force of the Qin army, they would definitely run as far away as possible.
The greatest taboo of the Xiongnu was to clash head-on with the Qin army.
The ones he liked the most were the small troops that ambushed the Qin army.
For example, the grain transport team was an excellent target.
Although they already had a lot of "rice and meat" in reserve, they were not afraid.
But how could human flesh be as delicious as fragrant food?
Human flesh was fishy and tough, and difficult to cook…
To the Huns, it was barely enough to fill their stomachs.
The scout quickly replied," Not many, only three to four hundred people. But there are quite a few carriages of grain. There are at least fifty carriages!"!”
"Chief, we can't miss this piece of fat meat!”
The Xiongnu leader's eyes lit up when he heard that. If we're late, it'll be too late. We can't let others get ahead of us!”
Who knew how many Xiongnu people were hiding in the entire Nine Peaks Mountain.
They were just one of them.
The Xiongnu leader rubbed his fists and said,""Where is the Qin army's grain transport team?”
"He just passed Piantou Mountain. He will reach us in a few hours.”
"Cheers!"
The Xiongnu leader slapped his thigh and pulled out his scimitar. He shouted," Brothers, listen up. Let's have a full meal first, then we'll go down the mountain immediately to intercept the food!!”
…………
At a place dozens of miles away from Nine Peaks Mountain.
A few hundred Qin soldiers were slowly moving forward.
The leader of the Qin army rode on his horse, squinting his eyes as he looked into the distance.
He could vaguely see the outline of Nine Peaks Mountain.
But for some reason, he had a bad feeling.
"Wuwuwu ~~"
Suddenly,
A desolate horn sounded from afar.
Seeing this, the Qin officer's expression changed.
On the horizon not far away, a faint black line was slowly squirming in their direction.
The ground seemed to be trembling slightly.
In the next moment.
The squirming black line immediately surged over like a tornado.
In just a moment.
They were less than a thousand meters away from the Qin army's grain transport team.
"Awoooo ~~"
The sound of horse hooves and strange cries intertwined.
The Qin army finally saw the appearance of this cavalry.
All of them were wearing beast hide armor, with beast bones and horns on their heads.
"Enemy attack!"
"It's the Xiongnu!"
"The Huns are here!"
