Chapter 202 Grassland Wind and Clouds
The Huns suddenly attacked the northern counties at the turn of summer and autumn not because they suffered another disaster and the herdsmen could no longer make a living, but because they wanted to avenge the herdsmen who had been killed on the grasslands in the past month. In
In the past few days, a cavalry force of several thousand people suddenly appeared on the grassland. They came and went so suddenly that even the herdsmen who were familiar with the grassland terrain could not find their whereabouts, but they always appeared in unprepared situations among the tribes.
They suddenly launched attacks on them, burning, killing and looting. Very few herdsmen survived each time, but as more and more small tribes were victimized, each tribe became aware of the existence of such a group of people on the grassland.
And from the mouths of the survivors, we learned that these people were all from the Central Plains.
Now the leaders of each tribe couldn't stand it. In the past, they only knew that they led people to the Central Plains to rob, but they didn't expect that people from the Central Plains came to the grasslands to do this. They immediately went to find their great chanyu
Mao Dun hoped that he would uphold justice for all the Huns who suffered harm. At this time, Mao Dun had gathered all the tribes on the grassland, but those who disobeyed him were conquered by force. With the help of Ji Du, Mao Dun
Mao Dun no longer only focused on force, but also began to use both kindness and power. Now seeing that these tribes that had surrendered to him were actually invaded by the Central Plains people, Mao Dun knew that this was a way to not only show his military strength, but also control the tribes.
It was a good opportunity to unite people's hearts, so they resolutely decided to send troops to attack the Central Plains.
But before his order was issued, Ji Du put forward his opinion, saying that the situation in the Central Plains was different from that of the past, and he heard that the tribes who had gone to the Central Plains and were dissatisfied with Maodun had been killed, so it was not time to send out troops now.
When they were really enemies of the Central Plains Dynasty, although Mao Dun felt that what Ji Du said was reasonable, if he didn't stand up for these tribes, the people who had just gathered together would probably be scattered again, so Mao Dun was very hesitant.
I don't know what to do.
At this time, Ji Du came up with a three-pronged approach. On the one hand, he sent a small group of troops to plunder several counties in the northern part of the Central Plains like the thousands of Central Plains people, to show that he would not ignore others.
At the same time, agents were sent to the Central Plains to investigate the situation. Once they found an opportunity to take advantage of it, these harassing troops would become the vanguard. Finally, tens of thousands of troops would be spread out on the grasslands to search for the whereabouts of the enemy group to avoid another attack.
The tribe was harmed. This plan could be said to be comprehensive, and Mao Dun immediately agreed and ordered his people to act accordingly.
So countless cavalrymen with weapons appeared on the grassland to look around, but at this time, the three thousand men and horses of the day shift just wiped out another small tribe. Looking at the corpses on the ground and the burning cowhide tents, the day shift could only
He felt indescribable satisfaction. He had never enjoyed this feeling on the battlefield before. Now the life and death of the small tribe on the grassland only depended on his thoughts. Every soldier who followed him had many treasures and
Women, as long as they like what they like, they will snatch it, and then after destroying these herdsmen, they will find a remote place to enjoy it. When they are tired of it, they will go out again. After several times, these soldiers
I also started to fall in love with this kind of bandit life. Compared with the boring army gathering, the battle here is more exciting. More importantly, only a small number of the enemies here will resist, and most of them can only be killed by them, and then their
Everything is yours.
Bai Ban felt that he was the master of this grassland. He even began to doubt the abilities of Meng Tian and other generals. He could turn the grassland upside down with only a few thousand people. Why couldn't they deal with this when they had hundreds of thousands of people?
As for the Huns. But as they continued to plunder, the original small tribes on the grassland began to migrate to the larger tribes in order to get shelter. This also made it more and more difficult for them to find a target to attack during the day shift.
.Finally, when they couldn't find a target for half a month, Bai Ban and his army, who no longer took the Huns seriously, launched a brazen attack on a large tribe with a population of tens of thousands.
But because of their repeated plundering in the past few days during the day shift, these tribes have increased their vigilance. When they saw them rushing up, the warriors of the tribe also shouted and used bows, arrows and sabers to fight back. This time they were considered to be in the day shift.
They have met a real opponent. In terms of numbers, the other side's warriors are not inferior to them. In terms of combat effectiveness, these Huns, who have grown up on horseback and hunted for a living since childhood, are even better at fighting than them. So they are unable to fight with them.
With the help of the favorable conditions of three thousand to several hundred, the sergeants on the day shift were quickly defeated at the hands of the Huns soldiers. Originally, they would not have failed so easily, but because of their life as bandits these days, they have lost all their hard work.
The trained battle formations were completely forgotten, and in the end they had to flee. In this battle, nearly half of the three thousand people were killed, which was a turning point for the day squad on the grassland.
Because after the defeat of this battle, the Huns finally discovered that this enemy army was not as powerful as they imagined, so more people joined in the search for their whereabouts, vowing to eliminate them as their relatives and friends.
revenge.
Just when people were everywhere on the grassland looking for Bai Ban's whereabouts, the Huns and Qin soldiers finally started a battle near Beidi County.
Meng Yi was awarded the title of General Zhenbei after Fusu ascended the throne. He was quite able to accept this reward. The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was that he had not fought with the Huns since a few years ago.
There was something wrong with his title. Just when he was worried about this, as if God was helping him, Fusu asked him to send troops to attack the Huns' enemies on the border, and also asked him to teach the Huns a lesson.
So Meng Yi immediately started preparations. He first marked the locations where the Huns harassed the border one by one on the map, found the trajectory of their actions, and then guessed their next target of invasion, so he personally led the troops
Rushing there. Through the trajectory of the Huns' movements, Meng Yi was delighted to find that they were heading towards Beidi County. Although he was not stationed in Beidi County now, the terrain there was very familiar to him, so
He immediately rushed over with 20,000 horses and ambushes in some places suitable for setting up ambushes.
After arriving in Beidi County, Meng Yi moved the people from several places that might be attacked by the Huns into the city, leaving only one place, and sent men and horses to ambush around it. This time he wanted to attack this invading force.
Get rid of all the Huns. In fact, this strategy was used by Fusu and others more than a year ago when they fought against the leaders of the defeated Xiongnu tribes such as Legang, but now they replaced the food and grass with food and people. Everything is ready
After that, Meng Yi just waited for the Huns to get into his pocket.
Obviously, these Huns were only fighting for a moment of bravery and did not care about the strategy at all. In addition, their purpose was revenge. When they saw a large number of Central Plains people gathering, they rushed over without even thinking.
But what greeted them was not the panicked, unarmed people who were massacred at will, but the well-equipped, well-organized and well-prepared Qin army. When they just rushed to the small town, there was a burst of crossbow arrows.
came. Although someone in front was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, the Huns cavalry seemed to have fought in with their superb riding skills. However, something different from what they imagined appeared again. A large number of people holding spears suddenly appeared in the town.
The targets of the Qin soldiers with long weapons such as Chang Ge were not the cavalry but the horses dismounted by the cavalry. When the horses fell, other Qin soldiers with sharp blades in their hands pounced on them. The Huns cavalry were all
All their abilities lie on the horse. A cavalry who loses his horse is like a warrior who loses his legs. In addition, many people fall badly when they fall from the horse, so when a sharp knife is applied to them, their ability to resist is greatly weakened.
.
When the Huns cavalry who had not rushed in behind saw this, they knew that they had fallen into the trap set by the Qin people. So some leaders made a prompt decision and stopped attacking the town, and instead just wanted to leave here.
.That's because they didn't know how many enemies there were here, and their own troops were very limited. But what they didn't expect was that when they turned around and wanted to leave, the Qin army suddenly appeared from every inconspicuous corner.
The ambush killed them all, and finally they were able to escape after losing eighty people.
This battle greatly improved Meng Yi's status in the eyes of the people in the north. His reputation began to match that of his brother Meng Tian, and the Huns also began to know that there was such a general guarding Beidi County.
.
When Mao Dun received the news that the troops who went to plunder had failed, he also happened to receive the news from Xianyang City. "It turns out that when I unified the grasslands, such great changes happened in various parts of the Central Plains.
, who is this Fusu who actually became the emperor of Qin?" Mao Dun looked at Ji Du and asked.
Hearing the word "Fusu", Ji Du's eyes showed deep hatred. It was this person who failed his first plan and was unable to restore his name as Dayan in a short time. He still remembered that day
The battle in Shanggu City was the battle that caused him and Harile to throw themselves into the grassland, thus becoming Mao Dun's confidants. But he did not want to mention this matter, so he simply said: "This Fusu is
Yingzheng’s eldest son is said to be very cowardly, so he probably won’t be a match for you in Da Shanyu.”
"Well, you may not be right to say that he has no ability, but he really can't compare with his father, because from the information our people have found out, this Fusu has not unified the Central Plains, and there is another one to the south of them.
Chu State." Mao Dun said contemptuously.
"So Shan Yu can take this opportunity to lead troops to attack the Central Plains and occupy the colorful world." Ji Du encouraged.
