Meng Tian looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Xiongnu, the place he had been fighting against for many years.
Know yourself and know the enemy. After many years, he has become too familiar with this place. Even if he has never set foot in the hinterland of the Xiongnu, he knows it very well.
He murmured: "If we follow the actual situation, our Qin army does not need to go deep into the Xiongnu territory. It is also the best opportunity to ambush between the two mountains. But what if there are special circumstances?"
"What special situation?"
Everyone did not think about it, but waited for Meng Tian's explanation.
"There is an enemy attack or other situation."
"Enemy attack?" Some ministers were puzzled. The enemy was still behind. If the Qin army was lurking on the mountainside, they would definitely not be discovered. There was no question of an enemy attack. Other situations were also possible. But what kind of situation would make this happen? Meng Yi risked the threat to go deep into it.
This doesn't make sense.
Seeing everyone's frowning, Meng Tian thought that everyone had not understood what he meant, so he continued: "The enemy attack that Tian mentioned was not an attack by the remnants of the army, but other Xiongnu soldiers or Yuezhi soldiers."
This place is between the Xiongnu and the Yueshi. It is not surprising to encounter the Yueshi army, but it is a bit unrealistic to encounter other Xiongnu armies, because there is no need, unless they have the ability to predict the future and know in advance that they will be defeated. Reinforcements will arrive only after a disastrous defeat.
However, it is actually not possible. With such a powerful weapon, the Xiongnu certainly did not think that they would be defeated so miserably, and the backup troops would not be justified.
"Yue Zhi?"
Li Zhao murmured that if the true historical development is followed, the Yuezhi at this moment is relatively powerful, unmatched by the Xiongnu tribes, and there is even a phenomenon where the Xiongnu prince is a hostage in the Yuezhi.
However, that is just history. The hot weapons brought by Xiang Gong to the Xiongnu will definitely change this situation.
Given the Huns' hatred for the Yuezhi, they would inevitably take the lead in attacking the Yuezhi. If the Xiongnu with hot weapons wanted to attack the Yuezhi, it would be easy for them to attack the Yuezhi. However, Da Qin did not receive such news, indicating that the Xiongnu did not attack the Yuezhi. Instead, he started to attack Da Qin first.
This makes sense. At that time, the Yuezhi did not know that the Xiongnu had a powerful weapon. When he saw that the Xiongnu was using force against the Qin Dynasty, he must have wanted a piece of the pie. It should be noted that he was eyeing the Xiongnu with covetousness. It is also possible that he was lurking behind the Xiongnu and unexpectedly encountered Meng Yi. The arrival of more than ten thousand troops caused a conflict between the two sides.
However, this is not right! If there really was a conflict, there would definitely be traces. The drones had been surveying for so long, but there were no traces of the battlefield at all.
This is intriguing.
It's so strange, the army led by Meng Yi seems to have disappeared.
"Actually, there is no need to guess. If Meng Yi really goes deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, he will leave traces." Li Zhao reminded.
More than 10,000 troops marched, and the traces were difficult to cover up.
Everyone nodded, but some people refuted, saying: "I think it is not easy to be sure. Even if there are traces of Meng Yi's army, they will blend in with other traces, making it difficult to distinguish."
Everyone understands what this means. Just like marching footprints, they will be left behind. However, the footprints are easy to find, but it is difficult to identify them. Under the chaos, it is impossible to know which country's army left the footprints.
Although the footwear of soldiers from different countries is different, the problem is that the mountain roads are rocky, and it is difficult to leave the entire footprint, making it difficult to identify.
"Hey!" Li Zhao smiled noncommittally and asked, "What if it was a trace left by a tank? Isn't it much easier?"
When everyone heard this, they nodded repeatedly and secretly sighed. How could they not have imagined that Da Qin's tanks are unique and very heavy. Unless they are very hard rocks, they will leave traces. These traces are also unique and are not difficult to identify.
Of course, some people may ask what if the tanks did not go deep into the hinterland of the Huns? It is unlikely. So far, the drones have not seen any trace of the reconnaissance tanks. It is very likely that they followed Meng Yi into the hinterland of the Huns.
