"General, the Huns have been defeated, we have won!"
Chen Ping looked at the battlefield in the distance and saw the Qin army smashing the Xiongnu cavalry formation and starting to chase the Huns.
The young counselor in his twenties couldn't hold back his excitement, clenched his fists and shouted.
This time the Qin-Hungarian war was not about the Qin army using car formations to passively consume the opponent, but actually defeating the main force of the Huns on the frontal battlefield and winning a great victory.
Once this battle was won, Chen Ping, as a counselor, would be able to upgrade his title based on his suggestions, so he was naturally very happy.
He licked his lips and said, "I wonder if we can catch Touman Shanyu in this battle. If we can catch this thief, we can completely wipe out the Xiongnu."
Zhao Tuo said lightly: "More than 100,000 cavalry are fighting and chasing on the grassland. There is smoke and dust everywhere, and the horses are galloping. It is not that easy to catch the Xiongnu Chanyu who is guarded by his own soldiers among thousands of troops. Let alone We don’t have many people, so it’s enough to annihilate the main force of the Huns in this battle. Try to inflict as many casualties on them as possible. Regardless of whether Touman is captured or not, it will be enough to eliminate the Huns’ troubles in northern Xinjiang.”
Zhao Tuo turned his head and looked back at the red light and smoke in the sky to the north. It seemed that the fire was coming in their direction.
However, the impact is not significant anymore, the battle situation has been decided, and all that remains is the question of how to expand the results.
Zhao Tuo didn't know how much casualties Meng Tian's attack on the Huns inflicted on the Huns in history.
But this time, he has completely crippled the Huns, especially when he set fire to it and destroyed tens of thousands of Shanyu tribesmen and hundreds of thousands of livestock near Touman City. Such a blow was enough to make Touman run away. , and there is no way to recover.
Chen Ping added: "General, we still have Sugatha's 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry. I don't know if they are coming. If we miss this battle, our move will be wasted."
Zhao Tuo smiled and shook his head: "How can it be wasted? Have you forgotten who told us the specific arrangements for Touman's false surrender? Using a short-term strategy to obtain important information about the enemy is already of great use. More Don't say..."
When Zhao Tuo finished speaking, he looked southward and his voice deepened: "That woman is a smart person."
…
"Touman lost his eagle flag, but I recognize the clothes of his Shan Yu's bodyguard!"
Sugatha rode on horseback, staring intently at the thousands of Huns fleeing in front of her.
She was followed by five or six thousand Yuezhi cavalry, who were chasing her all the way, trying to capture the prey in front of her.
At first glance, the clothes of the grassland herdsmen all look similar. If it were a Qin person, it would be difficult to tell who belongs to whose tribe. But for Sujatha, who is also a grassland nation and has had contact with Touman, she can tell the difference clearly.
She knew that those fleeing in front were Touman's royal court elites. These people were defeated and fled but did not disperse, acting as if they were protecting others and escaping.
Under the current circumstances, it is not difficult to guess the person who gathered among these elites of the royal court. Naturally, it is the Chanyu who supported the plow.
"It seems that the general has defeated Touman's main force, and the situation has been decided. The battle on the grassland is about to end. If I can capture Touman, such a great achievement will be enough to win my status in the Qin State!"
Sugatha looked fanatical and commanded her Yuezhi warriors to pursue fiercely.
The war horse is galloping.
Touman Chanyu looked embarrassed. He looked back and saw the Yuezhi people chasing behind him, his eyes filled with hatred.
"Da Shanyu, that traitor has been chasing us, what should we do now!"
Yi Hanxie shouted on the horse.
The Huns galloped for dozens of miles to fight the Qin people, and then fled south for more than ten miles. Their horses were already exhausted.
On the way north, those Yuezhi cavalry had been hanging slowly behind the team, with a little bit of horsepower. Now they were chasing the Huns all the way, and they were naturally getting closer.
Touman Chanyu's expression changed.
He quickly estimated in his mind that there were about a thousand elites from the royal court who were fleeing with him, and the others were thousands of Huns from various tribes, running with them in the chaos.
Seeing that the Yuezhi cavalry behind them were pursuing them at all costs, many Huns cavalry were already fleeing to both sides on the way.
If this continues, by the time the Yuezhi cavalry catch up, the Huns' troops will be in the most exhausted state, and their men will be almost at a loss, leaving no chance to resist.
Rather than this, it's better to...
"Marquis Zuo Gudu, you are my most loyal subordinate!"
Touman Shanyu shouted: "I order you to immediately lead the royal court's elite and warriors from all ministries to stop the Yuezhi people!"
Hu Yanzu, who was following on horseback, heard Shanyu's order in the wind and was stunned for a moment.
"As long as I am here, the Xiongnu will not perish!"
Touman Chanyu roared again.
Hu Yanzi gritted his teeth, and after his expression changed, he finally responded.
"Great Chanyu established by heaven, go well!"
He loudly greeted the Huns who were following him, and turned around with most of the royal court's elite to meet the Yuezhi cavalry who were chasing behind them.
Thousands of Huns counterattacked, making it difficult for the Yuezhi cavalry to advance further.
Touman Shanyu took the opportunity, took the right general and nearly a hundred remaining cavalry, and fled as fast as possible.
Facing a life-and-death crisis at this moment, Touman Shanyu completely forgot everything and only thought about escaping.
Escape all the way, run all the way, no longer caring about the fighting battlefield behind.
After running for an unknown number of miles on the grassland, it was only when the horse under his legs could no longer run and stopped whining that Touman Chanyu woke up from the numbness of his escape.
He jumped off his horse, which neighed and collapsed to the ground.
Yi Hanxie, who followed closely behind him, and the cavalry also dismounted and rested.
Touman Shanyu looked back and saw that there were only thirty or forty cavalry who had fled here with him, and there was only one right general Yihanxie left among the Xiongnu nobles.
The others either struggled with the Yuezhi people under the leadership of Hu Yanzu, or fell behind because their horses lost strength on the way, or they chose to leave halfway because they did not want to follow the Great Chanyu in escaping.
No matter what the reason was, in short, he, the former lord of the central grasslands, controlled more than 100,000 bow-drawing people, and the Xiongnu who was appointed by heaven to support the plow Gu Tu Chanyu, now only has a mere thirty or forty horses.
"Traitor, it's all that damn traitor's fault!"
Touman Chanyu lay down on the withered yellow grass, looked up at the blue sky, trembled his lips, and made an angry sound.
In the current situation, he hated Zhao Tuo.
But he hated the "Dalan clan" who betrayed him and stabbed him in the back even more!
At any rate, Zhao Tuo relied on his own resourcefulness and the Qin army's combat effectiveness to defeat him. Touman Shanyu recognized him and did not complain much.
Only Sugatha's betrayal made it difficult for him to calm down the anger in his heart.
Assuming Sujiasha did not bring the Yuezhi people to betray him, then Touman Shanyu could join Wuluxu and the Huns from other tribes after escaping from the battlefield where the Qin army was besieging him.
That way he would still have the fighting strength of tens of thousands of people. Not to mention counterattacking the Qin army, he would be able to protect himself and retreat as he went.
He even thought of a follow-up plan to retreat to the eastern grasslands with the remaining Xiongnu tribes, join forces with the powerful Donghu, use Donghu's power to resist the Qin army, and continue to survive.
But Sugatha's betrayal cut off all Manchanyu's retreat options.
Wu Luxu, King of Zuoguli, was assassinated by Yuezhi warriors. His tribe was defeated by Yuezhi cavalry in the chaos. The tribesmen, including other small Xiongnu nobles, fled in all directions, leaving him, a great chanyu, without any control. An opportunity to gather the remaining soldiers.
The most disgusting thing is that Sugatha still didn't miss his old friendship and led troops to chase him all the way.
"Bitch, betrayer!"
"If I let this Shanyu catch you, I will trample you to a pulp with my own horse!"
Touman Shanyu became more and more angry as he thought about it, and cursed loudly.
While cursing, Touman Shanyu felt thirsty.
After a night of running, half a day of fighting, and half a day of escaping, he was already tired and thirsty, so he called out: "Yi Hanxie, get me some water!"
"There is only blood and water, but there is pure water."
Yi Hanxie walked over and said expressionlessly.
They were running all the way, and they had already drank all the water bags on the way. Where could they get water at this time?
"Asshole!"
Touman Shanyu heard the sarcasm in Yihanxie's mouth and immediately cursed.
But at this time, he no longer had the energy to get angry, so he reluctantly raised his head and glanced around.
What I saw here was an unfamiliar wilderness, with withered and yellow vegetation around it, and a faint desolation.
"Let someone go and find water for me, otherwise I will die of thirst!"
Touman Chanyu really didn't want to move, so he lay back on the grass and ordered Yihanxie to let his men go search for water.
Yi Hanxie looked at Man Shanyu, whose head was paralyzed on the ground and unwilling to move, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
This time, he obediently obeyed Touman Shanyu's order and sent out all the elite soldiers from the royal court to find water.
The hungry and thirsty Touman Chanyu didn't notice this at all. He just lay softly on the grass, feeling the coolness brought by the autumn wind blowing through the wilderness.
"Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, why are you so insidious and cunning? Why do you want me to meet an enemy like you!"
Touman Chanyu murmured.
Until now, he still didn't understand that Sujiasha and the 20,000 Yuezhi people were undercover agents sent by Qin general Zhao Tuo.
From beginning to end, he was played by him.
He even naively wanted to marry Sugasha as the Dalan clan and bring 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry into his account.
Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous.
"But I will not be knocked down. I am the supporter Gutu Chanyu established by heaven. Even if I am knocked down by you, Zhao Tuo, I will still stand up again!"
"Zhao Tuo, what can you do to me?"
Touman Shanyu roared in his heart, he had an unyielding heart.
Until the shadow fell from the sky and enveloped him.
"Yi Hanxie?"
"How dare you look down on me!"
Touman Shanyu was lying on the ground, glaring at Yihanxie who was standing in front of him.
The right general of the Huns, his burly and muscular body blocked the sun, leaving Touman Shanyu in his shadow.
To Touman Shanyu, such a gesture was an insult.
How could the great Gutu Chanyu be looked down upon by others!
Yi Hanxie, who had eaten the courage of a dog, didn't notice that he was this kind of person on ordinary days.
Touman Shanyu struggled to stand up.
But Yi Hanxie's hand was faster. One hand reached out like lightning, grabbed the clothes on Touman Shanyu's chest and lifted him up. At the same time, the other hand held a bronze dagger and pressed it against Touman. Chanyu's neck.
The tingling sensation on his skin made Touman Shanyu's scalp numb, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Touman Chanyu did not dare to resist, because Yihanxie was the right general of the Xiongnu and a well-known warrior in the entire tribe. His strength was far superior to him. Now he was holding a dagger at his throat. This was too scary. .
"Yi Hanxie, what are you going to do? Believe it or not, I just need to scream and my royal guards will rush over and chop you into pieces!"
Yi Hanxie laughed and said, "You scream, it's useless even if your throat is broken, they are all looking for water for you."
Touman Chanyu's face darkened, knowing that he had fallen into the traitor's trick.
He lowered his voice and said: "Yi Hanxie, now that the Huns have been defeated by the Qin army, our tribe is at a moment when it will perish at any time. The tribe needs me, and the Huns need me. At this time, why are you doing this? ?”
Yi Hanxie was silent for a moment.
He stared at Touman Chanyu in front of him and spoke coldly.
"Sorry, I'm a spy."
Touman Shanyu was completely stunned.
All his ambitions were shattered by Yi Hanxie's words.
Touman Shanyu understood, and his face was full of bitterness: "Were you sent here by Zhao Tuo? When was it when you were defeated by the Qin army in Dahe?"
These words seemed to touch the wound in Yi Hanxie's heart. He couldn't help but shudder, and immediately said viciously: "So what, you have no idea what kind of person that Zhao Tuo is, how cruel he is." And terrifying, far beyond your imagination!”
Touman Shanyu looked at Yi Hanxie in disbelief.
He could not imagine how such a fierce and powerful prairie warrior could be subdued by the Qin people in a short period of time and willingly return to the Huns as an undercover agent.
Zhao Tuo is so terrifying!
But Touman Chanyu didn't want to die, so he laughed dryly and said: "No matter how scary Zhao Tuo is, his hand can't reach this far. Yi Hanxie, don't be afraid, let me go, let's run far away, gather together After the tribesmen have dispersed, we will run to Mobei and stop dealing with the Qin people."
"As long as you let me go, I can make you a great Chanyu. I can give you anything you want!"
The corners of Yi Hanxie's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered: "In that case, Shanyu, I only want one thing from you."
Touman Shanyu trembled his lips: "What do you want?"
"Your head."
As Yi Hanxie spoke, his eyes grew fierce. The dagger in his hand slipped with force and instantly cut Touman Shanyu's throat.
Dark red blood spurted out and splashed across Yi Hanxie's face.
"Click... click... click..."
Touman Chanyu's throat spurted blood, and he made several strange sounds from his mouth. He fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then made no more noise.
Yi Hanxie looked at this scene blankly.
After a long time, he lowered his body, took off the blood-stained eagle crown from the dead Touman Shanyu's head, and then tried to wear it on his own head.
Qin Ren's seductive voice seemed to ring in his ears again.
"Kill Touman, you are the Great Chanyu!"
"From now on, I am the Great Chanyu!"
Yi Hanxie murmured, staring at the body soaked in blood on the ground, and the smile on his lips became wider and wider.
Until there was a thunderous sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Yi Hanxie quickly turned his head and looked over.
The sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground came from far away. It was a grassland army of thousands of people who had just experienced fighting.
They looked tired, and many of them were injured, but the expressions on their faces were very excited.
All eyes were looking in the direction of Yi Hanxie.
Especially one of the Yuezhi women riding on a war horse.
Her beautiful eyes were shining, looking at Yi Hanxie, especially the shining eagle crown on his head.
