The scorching sun was soft, but it could not suppress the tension of the situation. There was no wind, only the silence outside the Great Wall.
The tense situation ten days ago was just a test by the Xiongnu. Today's large-scale dispatch was just the news sent back by the scouts, but there was not much movement at the moment.
The night passed quickly, but there was still no movement of the Huns, which made the emperor, who was always worried, sleepless all night.
Early the next morning, there was a muffled sound from the sky, which caught Ying Zheng's attention. He quickly looked outside the Great Wall, where there was a fire, and the muffled sound came from there.
"Li Zhao, get up quickly and look over there."
Hands pointing into the distance.
Hearing the emperor's cry, Li Zhao, who was sleeping, immediately got up and quickly looked in the direction of the emperor's finger, but could not see anything, but he also heard a muffled sound, accompanied by the light of fire.
"It's the light tanks firing, and the Huns are invading."
"Your Majesty, let all officials stand up, the war has begun."
Seeing such a situation, Li Zhao seemed to be on fire, and his whole body was filled with excitement.
This is the first round of combat using tanks and multiple rocket launchers, and it must not be missed.
"Quickly, debug the camera and turn on the farthest monitor."
The distribution of the cameras is very particular. There are several cameras almost every one mile, covering the entire twenty-mile range. As long as the Huns enter within the twenty-mile range, they can be captured.
There were some craftsmen who came with him. Li Zhao had already told them how to operate the instrument. Although they were not very familiar with it now, they could respond quickly.
When all cameras are displayed on the monitor, the range of the muffled sound is immediately captured.
Li Zhao immediately asked the craftsman to enlarge the screen to the maximum size. This is a 72-inch screen. After such a magnification, the picture there can be clearly seen immediately.
Twenty miles away, there was a light tank crawling among the rolling hills, and further away, even on the screen, only something moving like ants could be seen coming secretly.
Everyone looked at the screen nervously, looking at the moving thing.
"Here we come, densely packed. I'm afraid there are quite a few of them."
It's not difficult to guess. Even if you can't see clearly, you still know that the Huns are coming.
"Look at the other monitors."
Everyone glanced at all the monitors and saw shaking figures on the screen twenty miles away. Five light tanks were there at the moment. They were facing the Huns. Sparks were constantly coming out of the barrels, and black mist was flying rapidly. came out and exploded within the Huns' range, making a muffled sound.
But there were too many Huns, and even constant bombing could not stop their advance.
"A lot of people, at least tens of thousands." Meng Tian had rich combat experience and could make a rough guess at a glance.
"How much is it specifically?" Li Zhao didn't have that kind of vision.
"Estimated 20,000."
"Twenty thousand?" Li Zhao frowned, not because of the large number of people, but because of the speed at which Duke Xiang could create a killer weapon.
According to what Meng Tian said, at least the mass murder weapon manufactured by Xiang Gong can be used by 20,000 people, which is an incredible number.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send a large army to fight?"
Meng Yi asked solemnly.
Meng Tian wouldn't have cared about the attack of 20,000 Xiongnu in the past, but after experiencing the massacre, he was still frightened and no longer dared to send troops without permission.
Although the Qin army has a large number of troops, it does not have as powerful a weapon as the Xiongnu. Although Li Zhao has brought a powerful weapon, it is pitifully few.
If the Xiongnu's attacking army only had 10,000 men, he would still have some hope, but with 20,000 men, which was twice as many as before, he became frustrated.
20,000 Huns armed with big weapons, can those 20 multiple rocket launchers and tanks handle them? He was unsure.
For the sake of the Qin Dynasty, even if the army did not have a powerful weapon, he would go to fight, just to protect the Qin Dynasty and prevent the Xiongnu from breaking through that line.
Ying Zheng's face was solemn, but he said nothing as he looked at Li Zhao.
Li Zhao's expression didn't change much, and he said nonchalantly: "No need, we even have to call back the light tanks."
"What?" Meng Tian reacted strongly, "The Huns have already launched an attack. Why are they retreating? We should immediately stop them twenty miles away."
"No!" Li Zhao interrupted Meng Tian, "Just let them come, and let them come within twenty miles."
The range of multiple rocket launchers is very good, and the range of tanks is even better. If it were in modern times, their range would be several hundred kilometers, but this was Da Qin, or was it made by the craftsmen of Da Qin. The range should not be several hundred kilometers, but twenty There must be some, even if they are in the current position they can attack.
However, this range is not clear enough on the screen, and the actual number of people is not known. Only by entering within twenty miles and entering the monitoring range can we strike accurately to ensure that they will never come back.
Li Zhao also wanted to be foolproof.
As for whether their approach would pose a threat to the Qin Army, that was impossible. The distance of several miles was not within the range of machine guns and other large-scale killer weapons, and they did not pose a threat to the Qin Army.
In other words, as long as they all enter the surveillance range, they can be wiped out. Even if some of them escape, the tanks can pursue them and bombard them several miles away.
Of course, he didn't bother to talk about this approach, he just wanted to see the results.
"You" Meng Tian wanted to have a seizure, and finally clenched his fists to squeeze the sound into his stomach.
Young Master Fusu once questioned Li Zhao, but he apologized repeatedly. He did not want to follow Young Master Fusu's footsteps. Of course, he also made the worst plan in his mind. If the Huns were allowed to approach and break through the Great Wall, he would protect His Majesty even if he died. leave here.
So, he stopped talking, but his eyes never left the screen.
"The reconnaissance tanks will retreat immediately and return to the Great Wall."
