The 30,000 men of the Qin Army stared blankly at the scene in front of them - there are indeed traces of the Huns living here, and there are still signs of being eaten by cattle, sheep and other livestock on the grass, and there are also signs near the river.

It looks like we have set up tents and lit bonfires, but now there is not even a Huns or even a horse to be seen here. It seems that the Huns are already aware of our arrival, and everyone has moved away from the original place.

Station in case we launch an attack on them. Every Qin soldier was thinking in his heart.

Looking at everything here, Zidu frowned. From the situation here, he could imagine that it would be impossible to find the enemies and annihilate them as smoothly as in previous days. At the same time, he also knew that what would happen next was

They will face a counterattack from the Huns. They are no longer in a favorable situation where the enemy is overt and we are hidden. The next step will be the beginning of a difficult battle to defeat the capital. Thinking of this, Zidu couldn't help but look up at the soldiers in front of him.

The faces of the veterans were still as perseverant as ever. They had experienced the most difficult times, and the current difficulties were nothing to them. But the recruits were a little different. They began to act a little irritable and confused. They

It has always been smooth sailing since entering the grassland, but this is the first time that he has been unable to attack the enemy. They are obviously unable to adapt. Seeing the performance of the majority of the recruits, Zidu became more worried, but as a general

But he couldn't show it on his face.

Just when he didn't know what words to use to inspire the soldiers, a veteran came over and said: "General, judging from the situation here, this tribe moved in a hurry, and some of the places where they originally pitched their tents can still be found.

Some daily necessities. Judging from the extinguished bonfire here, they only left last night, so if we chase more quickly, we might be able to catch up with them."

Zidu nodded with satisfaction. He still trusted the skills of these scouts, but since the Huns had already noticed his thoughts and fled, would it be too risky for him to pursue them again? Zidu could not guarantee that he would pursue them.

This tribe will definitely be able to be wiped out, so after thinking for a while, he said: "I ordered the army to take a rest here, and ordered the scout battalion to send 30 people to follow the traces of the Huns' retreat. If we can

Once we find their whereabouts and there are no other Huns troops nearby, we will send troops to pursue them." The man immediately followed the order and left.

On the endless grassland, countless Huns were driving their cattle and sheep forward. They were all people who hurried to Modun Shanyu's station after learning that a Qin army invaded the grassland and slaughtered their companions.

.Not to mention that due to the years of war, only less than half of their clan's combat-worthy people are left. Even if their combat power is well preserved, they would not dare to compete with a well-equipped Qin army with the strength of their own clan.

So they had no choice but to flee. Fortunately, the Huns were already very familiar with migration. When a piece of grassland was eaten away, they would migrate their group to another place. Now it is just to avoid the disaster of war and save their lives.

The leader put his hand on his forehead and looked into the distance for a long time, and then said loudly to the tribesmen behind him: "If we walk for a few days, we should be within the control of Shanyu's tent.

Then we are all safe." After listening to his words, the faces of the Huns herdsmen who had been traveling hard for days showed smiles. Not only did they have to travel long distances these days, they were unable to keep up physically, but they were also worried about those murderers.

The numb Qin people will appear from behind. Although these Huns are ruthless and merciless in their treatment of the Central Plains people, they are actually very afraid of death.

But they didn't know that behind them there were already several Qin army scouts following them from a distance. In the past few days, these scouts had always kept a certain distance from them, preventing them from getting away, and at the same time they were not allowed to get caught.

They discovered and made many marks for their army along the way. They could only wait for the arrival of the army to attack the Huns.

Zidu led his men and horses to chase after those marks. He still knew the location of Maodun, so he thought based on the speed of his own army and the speed of the Huns who were sent by the scouts to escape.

, they had time to catch up with the enemy before they entered Maodun's control, so they ordered the army to pursue them all the way.

Finally, when the Huns were still one day away from entering the safe area, Zidu led his army and rushed up. Seeing the Huns in front who were trying their best to move forward, Zidu ordered his army to divide into three groups and attack from behind.

The other two groups of Huns divided into left and right sides and went around the Huns to outflank them. The three groups of Qin troops shouted and killed them. In their eyes, these Huns, most of whom were old and weak, had now become

Take what you have in your pocket.

"Kill~!" The Qin army came up and killed them. The Huns were so frightened that they had no intention of resisting. They only knew how to flee forward. It seemed that as long as they could escape into a safe area, the Qin people could not continue.

It hurt them. But the result of these Huns moving forward was that they ran into the net of the Qin army that had already surrounded the front. The Qin army's flanking attack from the front and back made the Huns panic and could only flee to the left and right jelly powder.

However, they could not go far before they were shot to the ground by the Qin army's crossbowmen from a distance. Soon, thousands of Xiongnu herdsmen fell in a pool of their own blood.

Zidu commanded the army to encircle and kill these Xiongnu herdsmen who had completely lost their ability to fight. He was sure that he could kill tens of thousands of Xiongnu within an hour. As he looked at the Qin Dynasty on the battlefield with complacency,

When the army was going back and forth killing people, they suddenly felt a tremor coming from the ground.

The Qin soldiers who were massacring the Huns obviously felt the shaking on the ground. They slowed down their movements unconsciously, and some of them looked into the distance. Then they saw tens of thousands of Huns cavalry marching towards them.

They rushed towards their own direction at the fastest speed. The scimitars in their hands shone brightly under the sunlight. Their wild shouts also spread to the Qin soldiers as they approached.

in the ears.

Seeing that the Huns' cavalry had arrived, Zidu panicked at first, but then he thought that it was impossible to leave now, so he immediately ordered the soldiers at the front to retreat and join forces with the people behind.

They set up a battle array and fought against the Huns. But at this time, the new soldiers in the Qin army showed their age. If it were an army that had experienced hundreds of battles, it would retreat and fight in the face of this situation.

The rear army is connected together, but it will not disrupt its position, and there will be people to step forward to resist the incoming Huns, thereby buying time for their retreat. But this Qin army is facing the Huns.

When the people came to kill them, they lost their sense of proportion. As soon as they received Zidu's order to retreat, they immediately turned around and fled back, fearing that they would be the last and be overtaken by the Huns.

In this way, the charge of the Xiongnu cavalry became extremely easy. Without any obstruction, they rushed towards the Qin army in a smooth manner, but they reached behind the Qin army in a short time. Zhang Gong,

Nocking an arrow, the sharp arrow did not need to be aimed at to hit the Qin army who turned around and fled. The hundreds of Qin soldiers at the back fell to the enemy's arrows before they even had a fight with the Huns.

But the nightmare was not over yet, because the people and horses retreating were frightened and did not know how to control their horse speed. The original intention of meeting up with the rear army ended up being to disrupt the Qin army's already set up rear.

team. In this way, the Huns could increase their speed to the highest level and launch an attack on the Qin army.

Zidu repeatedly ordered the army to stabilize its position first, and then deal with the enemy. However, as the saying goes, the defeat was like a mountain. At this time, Siouang's attempt to reunite the army that had lost its fighting spirit was nothing more than a dream. Seeing himself getting worse and worse

Want to lead the team

The troops were reorganized, but the result was that the Qin army became more and more chaotic. Only then did Zidu realize that today's battle was probably unwinnable. In order not to suffer too much loss, he resolutely ordered the entire army to retreat and use it to defeat the Xiongnu who were struggling to their death.

The herdsmen retreated with their men and horses as cover.

Although the Hun cavalry wanted to kill all the enemies in the Central Plains, they were still unable to do so when facing their own people. Under the obstruction of the already panicked Hun herdsmen, the Hun cavalry could only watch.

As the Qin army gradually moved away. Although the white squad leader was eager to continue the pursuit, in order to save the injured herdsmen, the Huns cavalry stopped the pursuit, gathered the herdsmen together and took them back to Shanyu's tent.

This time, the Xiongnu cavalry was able to appear unexpectedly because of Bai Shi's strategy. With his understanding of the Qin army, he quickly determined their next goal and led a group of people there.

Xiongnu herdsmen

He then sent scouts to investigate nearby. After learning that the Qin army had caught up with the herdsmen, he did not immediately order an attack on the Qin army. Instead, he waited for the Qin army to annihilate the herdsmen.

Only then did he launch an attack brazenly.

In this way, the Qin army was defeated and fled as he expected without any preparation. Although the Huns lost thousands of herdsmen on the border this time, they were defeated by the Qin army who lost nearly 5,000 men and horses.

Said that they still took a big advantage. At the same time, this was the first defeat of the Qin army after entering the grassland, which greatly reduced the fear of the Huns.
