When the two armies confront each other, the competition is about morale, the ability of the generals, and even more so the ability of the country.
Nowadays, the soldiers of Da Qin are ready to go and are waiting for the enemy. Although they have traveled a certain distance, they have got a good rest, so the Qin soldiers seem to be in relatively good condition.
On the other hand, the Huns soldiers, although they fought locally, did not see any local combat advantages.
They had just experienced a rebellion, and the eldest prince killed the king and ascended to the position of Khan.
Although today's Huns soldiers know who they are loyal to, they are still a little confused and tired. Just after one fighting ended, another fighting came.
This is not a good thing for them.
Han Xin was riding on horseback, his expression solemn, but not worried. He looked at Maodun Shanyu who was riding on horseback in the distance.
"Modun, I have been waiting here for a long time today! I wonder if Shanyu Modun can help us with the wind and wash away the dust?"
A slightly ridiculing sentence came out of Han Xin's mouth, which made Qin Bing laugh out loud.
The fatigue that came from running far away seemed to be swept away at this moment.
They looked at the Hun cavalry in the distance with cruel bloodlust in their eyes.
The Meng family army has been stationed on the border all year round. After conquering the Yan Kingdom, they were already stationed here.
They are no strangers to the Xiongnu, it can even be said that they are familiar with them.
Every winter, the Huns would try to plunder southward. Sometimes they would succeed, and sometimes they would fail.
In the past, it was the soldiers of Yan who fought against them, and later it was the soldiers of Qin who fought against them.
Mo Dun was riding on horseback. He didn't mind talking to Han Xin for a few more words, because his original goal was not to defeat Han Xin or Da Qin.
His most important purpose was to provide cover for the Huns, old, young, women and children, to escape.
Behind the grassland is the hope for the future of the Huns. When the signal is given and the old, young, women and children have almost retreated, they can rush and leave.
Immediately, he also gave a long laugh, showing his heroic spirit: "Catch the wind and wash away the dust?"
"General Han has come all the way. According to the etiquette of the Central Plains, he should wait for you to wash away the dust."
"It's just that I, the Huns, have just experienced great chaos and are not suitable to welcome outsiders at this time."
"Secondly, General Han came with hundreds of thousands of troops. He was so aggressive that he didn't look like he was coming as a guest. How could he support General Han?"
Han Xin was not in a hurry. His purpose of coming this time was not to destroy the Xiongnu.
He remembered the letter he had seen in the tent from Chen Ke, which stated his current purpose.
Consume as much of the Xiongnu's physical strength as possible, drive the Xiongnu further north and west of Langjuxu Mountain, and let them move towards the north and west.
Occupy the grassland and leave as many friendly Xiongnu tribes as possible.
This is the whole purpose of Han Xin this time. The Huns are indeed a big worry for them, but directly strangulating them is not a good thing for them.
Han Xin gently raised his head, looked at Modun and said: "Modun Shanyu, I brought hundreds of thousands of Qin troops to celebrate your enthronement. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Why did Chanyu misunderstand the general's good intentions like this?"
He sighed, like a woman in deep boudoir: "My sincerity was really wrong."
After hearing Han Xin's words, Mao Dun just smiled and said, "I see, I am too cautious."
"It's just General Han. Now that we are ready, why don't you and I try the soldiers in our hands?"
"Let's see which one is more powerful, the wolf cavalry of my Xiongnu, or the armored warriors of your Great Qin?"
Han Xin nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Mao Dun's idea: "Of course."
"Since Maodun Shanyu wants to meet my Daqin soldiers, then I am naturally willing to satisfy Shanyu."
He cupped his hands and said again: "Of course, before we start, one of the Nine Qin Qings, Feng Chang, Governor of Penglaizhou, and Zhongmu Bo Chen Ke, asked me to tell Shan Yu something."
"Why don't you listen to Shanyu first?"
Han Xin smiled slightly, and the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth became even more serious: "In case the Shanyu doesn't have the heart to listen later."
There is actually some overt sarcasm in these words. Why don't you have the heart to listen?
Because I just want to escape.
Mao Dun was not angry, just curious.
He vaguely heard Zhang Xilong talking about Chen Fengchang before, and now he heard this name from the frontier young general Han Xin.
It seems that this Chen Fengchang is really an important figure in Da Qin.
Mao Dun didn't know why, but when he heard the name, he felt a burst of physical discomfort, and even felt a little chilly. He felt that the name was deeply malicious.
He stared at Han Xin and said, "Please tell me."
Han Xin also had a serious face, with a solemn look: "As the saying goes: "The sky is sparse, and it doesn't stop here. There is endless vast land to the north here, and there are grasslands and plains to the northwest from here."
""A country composed of barbarians, also named "Great Qin", stands on that land."
""Chanyu couldn't defeat the Qin in the Central Plains. I wonder if he could defeat the Qin in the West?"
These few words made Modu feel heartbroken.
That Chen Fengchang should not lie. At this time, he had already connected everything in his heart.
That Zhang Xilong seemed to be Chen Fengchang's man, and the purpose of this mysterious Chen Fengchang was to drive the Xiongnu to Daqin in the northwest.
He narrowed his eyes.
Daqin in the northwest?
Subconsciously, some people from the blond boy appeared in his mind.
It's not that they have never seen such barbarians before. It seems that a small army, about five hundred people, quietly came to the grassland a few years ago.
Although the formation of that group of soldiers was powerful, their number was too small. Wolf Cavalry killed them all without dispatching too many people.
Could it be that Chen Fengchang was talking about the country to which those people belonged?
If this is true, then the journey to the northwest should be smoother.
After all, that country is not very powerful.
They should be able to beat it.
As a result, the fighting spirit in Mao Dun's heart became even less, and the anger of wanting to fight to the death was also less.
Since you can live and live better, who wants to die?
He pulled his thoughts out of his mind, looked at Han Xin and said: "If we lose this battle, it will not be the fault of me, the Hun Wolf Cavalry, but the fault of me, the Khan!"

"If there hadn't been civil strife first, how could you be allowed to be so rampant again?"
Maodun raised his arms fiercely: "This is a battle!"
"No retreat!"
Han Xin also said in a deep voice: "Kill the enemy!"
The two huge armies were ordered instantly, and then began their attack.
Wolf Cavalry is very maneuverable and equally powerful in attack. With Maodun's order, countless Wolf Cavalry began to charge!
The man on horseback was wearing armor and holding a spear in his hand.
The neighing of the horses echoed across the grassland, and the eyes of the wolf riders had turned red. At this time, there were only two words in their eyes!
Kill the enemy!
The elite warriors on Great Qin's side were also well prepared. The first wave of cavalry charges was always the most difficult to resist, but at this time Great Qin was already well prepared.
Black shields stood on the ground one by one, and the people behind them were layer by layer, covering the place like dark clouds.
Spears shot out from the gaps in the shield, and the archers and spearmen in the center were already ready!
What Great Qin brought this time was not only archers and spearmen, but also repeating crossbows transported from Xianyang of Great Qin!
There is even a new thing made by the Manufacturing Department!
Bed crossbow!
The bed crossbow was originally an offensive weapon that only appeared during the Han Dynasty, and under Chen Ke's urging, this weapon that only appeared in the Han Dynasty has now appeared.
What is somewhat historic and fateful is that when this kind of weapon appeared, it was all designed to deal with the same enemy.
Huns.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the bed crossbow was the most important weapon when attacking the Xiongnu or guarding the frontier.
Today, the same is true.
The moment the cavalry launched their attack, feathered arrows flew out from the Da Qin camp that was waiting for them.
Not just feathered arrows, but also things that didn't look like arrows.
Those things were so huge and so lethal that even Mao Dun could hear the sound of breaking through the air!
"Whoosh——"
"Whoosh——"
"Whoosh——"
The sound of that thing pierced the void, like the god of death coming out of the darkness.
Every sound takes away more than one soldier!
"Xilulu——"
I remembered the whine of the horse, the arrow penetrated the horse's body, and the bright red blood spilled on the ground, rendering everything a mournful red.
There has just been a fight here, and now it is going to be another fight!
Those arrows passed through the air, penetrating not only the body of the horse, but also the body of the soldier on the horse, and there were more than one.
The huge roar covered everything.
Modun pulled the horse under him tightly, with shock and horror in his eyes. He looked at the arrows in the sky with an incredible look on his face.
He even said vaguely: "Is this a divine punishment from the Immortal Heaven?"
In just a moment of shock, he understood that he was too poorly prepared!
Great Qin is truly prepared. Today's Great Qin is no longer the original Great Qin. They cannot defeat or deal with the current Great Qin!
Does Great Qin like this really need to use them to fight against the Great Qin in the northwest?
Mao Dun didn't know why, but he suddenly had some inexplicable intuition in his heart.
Maybe it's not that Great Qin can't defeat "Great Qin" over there, maybe they are just too lazy to cross the mountains and seas to attack there...
For Modu, this was a bit sad, but more of a happy thing.
Fortunately the Huns are still useful!
Otherwise, today next year will be the anniversary of the Xiongnu’s destruction of the country!
He exhaled softly, knowing that he could no longer hide it.
One-third of the Huns soldiers had already evacuated quickly with the old, young, women and children, and they had to delay as much time as possible.
certainly......
This part of the soldiers did not want to go back, because they knew that it was impossible for Great Qin to let the Xiongnu go to the northwest intact...
A lingering Xiongnu, barely able to fight against the so-called "Great Qin" in the northwest, is what Great Qin needs...
Modun closed his eyes slightly and let the wind in his ears continue to whistle.
He sighed slightly, was that Chen Fengchang so powerful? I'm afraid he already knows the strength of the Xiongnu clearly, right?
Do you even know exactly how you will arrange it?
Are people like this human beings or gods?
Modun penetrated the dust and war and looked at the dark sky: "God of Changsheng, is this a god who has come to the world?"
"Why can't you come to earth and take pity on your believers?"
His eyes were full of sorrow.
And the wolf rider who was fighting already understood it when he saw the crossbow, repeating crossbow, and even the shield in the hands of the Qin soldiers.
But they still didn't give up.
So what if the final result is still a loss? War kills people!
Could it be that Da Qin gave up its plan in anger just because too many people died? How can it be!
How could those at the top notice the lives of these lower-class soldiers and the lives of these people at the bottom?
No one is stupid.
Especially when your own life is at stake.
"kill!"
A roar came from the mouths of the Hun soldiers, so what if the horses underneath them were killed? They can also fight bloody battles!
Xiongnu soldiers were never a single type!

Da Qin, Zhangtai Palace
It was another night, and the candlelight in Zhangtai Palace illuminated the entire dark hall. Ying Zheng stood in front of Kanyu Tu, staring at the large land in front of him.
If the Xiongnu were really driven to the northwest, then this piece of grassland and this extremely vast territory would belong to Great Qin.
He looked at the land silently.
This is a territory that no king of the Qin Dynasty has ever thought of, and will find it incredible when they see it.
The Xiongnu's grasslands combined were about half the size of today's Great Qin.
"call."
Ying Zheng let out a breath, and then said: "Chen Ke, after this land is conquered, Great Qin will no longer lack cavalry from the west..."
Chen Ke nodded slightly. The grassland was originally a place for breeding good horses.
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu are good at breeding good horses, not to mention the grassland is a natural place to breed good horses."
He walked to Ying Zheng's side and pointed slightly at a place: "This leads to the Western Region. I heard that there is a place in the Western Region that is also rich in fine horses."
"After capturing the Xiongnu, although there is no rush to head west and capture the Western Region, we can plan ahead."
"On the road to the Western Region, there is no enemy that can compete with Great Qin."
Chen Ke's voice was dull, but Ying Zheng heard the ambition in it. He also stared at the northwest and smiled: "Yes."
"From now on, there will be no more invincible bandits in the Western Regions!"
