Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 393, Killing the King’s Flag, Paying the Fee (Please vote for me!!!)
As soon as night covered the sky, King Youxian's headquarters sent out three teams of scouts. One scout rode forward on a horse, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

"Damn night." The scout spat as he glanced at the dark sky.

Without the moonlight, the entire grassland was extremely dark. The scout could only follow the route in his mind as much as possible to patrol. As the scout patrolled, the hills ahead soon attracted the scout's attention. Under the dark night sky, the scout ahead There seemed to be something moving on the hills.

The scout then rode forward to find out. As the scout got closer, he gradually saw what was on the hill. They were black cavalry all over the mountains and plains, like black ghosts, with a look on their faces. Black animal faces, some blood remained on some people's bodies, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and a pair of eyes exuded a fierce light, like a devil coming to the world.

Countless pairs of eyes were particularly frightening in the dark night. Facing the cavalry all over the mountains and plains looking down at him, the powerful sense of oppression and murderous intent instantly frightened the scouts to the point of turning pale. The horses were also frightened by this astonishing momentum. Panicked, he kept making frightened cries and spinning his hooves in an attempt to escape.

Looking at the cavalry in front, the scout immediately thought of the descriptions of those who escaped from the tribe after the Qin army broke through. In the dark night, they were like the devils sealed underground by the Changshengtian in their mythology, under the cover of night. , rushed to kill their tribe. The cavalry were wearing pitch black armor and had weapons they had never seen before. Their weapons hit the cavalry as if they were hitting iron blocks, without any effect.

The scout remembered the name of this devil cavalry in those people's mouth: Golden Fire Cavalry!
The scout tried to turn his horse's head and escape with trembling hands, but before he could turn his horse's head, Meng Tian opened his bow and aimed an arrow at the scout. With the sound of arrows piercing the air,
"Whoosh~"

The scout shuddered and fell from his horse.

Meng Tian did not look at the body of the scout but looked at the headquarters of King Youxian with a bonfire burning in front of him. The royal flag belonging to King Youxian was flying in the night sky above the tribe. The surrounding firelight made this flag extra special. conspicuous.

Normally, this king's flag makes the surrounding tribes of Youxian's tribe dare not show the slightest disrespect. The surrounding firelight illuminates the flag in the dark night, which makes the Hun bandits or soldiers wandering around not dare to invade King Youxian's headquarters. But today this flag will bring an unprecedented killing to King Youxian's headquarters.

Because of the war between the Youxian King tribe and the Qin State, or because of the other tribes in front, the Youxian King headquarters was still heavily guarded even in the hinterland of the grassland. It was completely different from the Hulin tribe. Meng Tianli Licking his lips, his armor was stained with some freshly dried blood from the Hun soldiers of the previous tribe.

After searching on the grassland for more than half a month, Meng Tian finally came to the headquarters of King Youxian.

Meng Tian pulled down the black iron mask, and the black cavalrymen blending into the night behind him were already ready to charge. Each of them held the horse rope in their hands tightly, and their bodies were already ready to charge.

Looking at the brightly lit headquarters of King Youxian in front of him, Meng Tian waved the spear in his hand and ordered:
"charge!!"

As Meng Tian took the lead and clamped his legs on the horse's belly, the horse rushed forward. The surrounding cavalry clamped their legs on the horse's belly and followed Meng Tian. The cavalry rushing in front looked at the tribe in front and immediately He raised his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the patrolling people ahead.

The deafening sound of horse hooves naturally alarmed the patrollers, but before they could see clearly what was going on outside, arrows rained down from the sky towards them. While these Hun soldiers were unable to lift their heads under the weight of the arrows, The golden fire cavalry had already rushed in front of the Xiongnu tribe. The cavalry in front broke down the wooden gate, and the sabers in their hands ruthlessly harvested the lives of the soldiers of King Youxian's headquarters.

The surrounding Xiongnu soldiers desperately tried to block the Qin cavalry, but the infantry had no ability to resist the charging cavalry, especially in the face of the sudden impact of tens of thousands of cavalry. However, in a moment, at the gate, The Xiongnu soldiers were swept away, and Meng Tian took the lead and rushed into the camp of King Youxian with the golden fire cavalry, aiming directly at the king's flag of King Youxian of the Xiongnu.

The moment the Golden Fire Cavalry rushed into the camp, they began to clean up the surrounding Hun soldiers. The Hun soldiers who rushed out of the camp were beheaded before they could resist. Some of the Hun Cavalry got on their horses and wanted to fight against the Golden Fire Cavalry, but they were met by They have no ability to resist the Golden Fire Cavalry equipped to the teeth.

For a time, the entire headquarters of King Youxian of the Xiongnu was in chaos, with sounds of fighting, crying, and the sound of bodies colliding. Meng Tian's goal was always clear, which was the royal flag of King Youxian of the Xiongnu. Naturally, the Xiongnu soldiers also discovered it. Knowing Meng Tian's intention, he tried desperately to stop Meng Tian, ​​but the golden fire cavalry around Meng Tian were not vegetarians. Meng Tian kept waving the spear in his hand, and the bodies of the Huns soldiers continued to fall around him.

Meng Tian fought all the way and finally reached the king's flag. Meng Tian pulled out the long sword from his waist and cut off the flagpole of King Youxian's flag.

As soon as the king's flag fell, the Xiongnu soldiers were in chaos. The Xiongnu soldiers who had been resisting desperately also showed signs of retreat. Suddenly, the entire headquarters of Youxian King became a battlefield dominated by the golden fire cavalry. The killing continued until dawn. Originally, The prosperous Youxian King's headquarters was bleeding like a river at this moment. The corpses of Xiongnu soldiers could be seen everywhere. More Xiongnu women, old people and children were squatting on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads, for fear that the Qin army's butcher knife would fall on their heads. .

The surviving Huns soldiers threw their weapons to the ground and raised their weapons. The night of fighting allowed them to see the strength of the Golden Fire Cavalry. They did not believe the words of those who escaped from the conquered tribe before, but now They had personally seen the power of the Golden Fire Cavalry, and their hearts were filled with fear at this moment.

After a night of bloody fighting, the Golden Fire Cavalry was extremely exhausted at this moment. Basically no one was unscathed. Even General Meng Tian had many wounds on his body, but their faces under the iron mask were full of sadness. Excited, the military glory they won in this battle was enough for them to last three lifetimes.

Seriously injured cavalrymen were bandaged at the military doctor's office.After Meng Tian wrapped up the wounds on his body, he put on his armor again and walked out of the camp.

Seeing Meng Tian come out, the deputy general stepped forward and said with a smile
"General, a great victory. This time we killed 10 enemies. We destroyed all the remaining troops of King Youxian of the Xiongnu. There is no specific number of captured Huns yet, but there are probably more than 200. Niu There are countless sheep, horses, and jewelry. And this time we also captured the three sons of King Youxian, the princess, the prime minister, his younger brother, and more than [-] Hun nobles."

Looking at the wounds on the deputy general's face, Meng Tian asked
"How is our cavalry injured?"

Noticing Meng Tian's gaze, the deputy general said

"We also suffered a lot of casualties. 160 soldiers were killed, 310 were seriously injured, and the number of minor injuries is incalculable. However, this does not affect our overall combat effectiveness.

"How is your injury?"

"There's nothing wrong with the general. He was just attacked by a Hun cavalry and his face was scratched." The deputy general said nonchalantly.

"General, what should we do next?" the deputy general continued to ask.

"The old rule is to organize the Hun soldiers who are willing to surrender into the auxiliary corps. As for the captured and captives, take them away as much as possible. Don't affect our march. You can watch the ones that can't be taken away." Meng Tian said.

"promise!"

"Send someone to inform the commander-in-chief." Meng Tian said. "promise!"

Then the deputy general went to arrange things. Meng Tian turned and walked towards the other side. The four captains in front came over with a group of soldiers. The soldiers carried a humanoid statue made of pure gold.

"General, this is what we found during the search. According to the captured Huns, this is the golden man who was worshiped by King Youxian. According to them, every tribe where the Huns were crowned kings has such a golden man, but among them is the left one. The golden people of King Xian and King Youxian are the most important." One of the captains said.

"Bring this thing to us, and where is King Youxian's royal flag?"

"Here General!"

Four soldiers opened the royal flag of King Youxian to reveal it. The black flag had a bear's head on it. Meng Tian touched the flag with his hand and found that the flag was not made of cloth, but animal skin. It looked like it should be It was sewn from several pieces of black bear skin, and there was a pendant called a feather at the top of the royal flag.

The Xiongnu call themselves the wolf tribe. The symbol of the Xiongnu royal court is a wild wolf, but those of King Youxian and King Zuoxian are black bears and goshawks, representing the ferocious beasts on the grassland.

"Well, put these two things away and give them to the king when you go back!"

"promise!"

Then, after the soldiers had inspected all the royal seals of King Youxian and others, the capture and sorting of King Youxian's headquarters was completed, and then Meng Tian left King Youxian's headquarters with the Golden Fire Cavalry and the captured prisoners.

At this time, on the frontal battlefield, Meng Wu had received the intelligence sent by Meng Tian's people on horseback. After learning that Meng Tian had successfully attacked Youxian King's headquarters, he stood in front of the map and began to estimate Meng Tian's current location.

King Youxian's headquarters was attacked by surprise. The army in front will definitely be in chaos after receiving the news. The Xiongnu army is gathered from various tribes. Not to mention King Youxian himself will be impatient, but when he heard that King Youxian's headquarters was attacked, other tribes The leader will also be worried that his tribe will be attacked, and will definitely advocate withdrawing his troops to defend his tribe. When the Huns army has no intention to fight, they can take advantage of Luan and Mengtian to attack the Huns army from both sides.

After estimating Meng Tian's approximate location, Meng Wu began to issue military orders and began to stop all the armies attacking from all sides. At the same time, he began to shrink his scouts, giving up the contest with King Youxian and preparing for a decisive battle.

In the Xiongnu camp, King Youxian was furious at this moment. He lifted up the kneeling soldiers below and asked loudly:

"What did you say!? Black Qin's Golden Fire Cavalry attacked my headquarters!? How is that possible!?"

King Youxian's face turned red at this moment, and the murderous intent and anger in his eyes could no longer be hidden. The tribal leaders around him also looked strange at this moment, and some even started to exchange glances with each other.

"Going back to your Majesty, we didn't know that the cavalry of Heiqin raided our headquarters a few nights ago, and the entire tribe was destroyed by them. The golden man offering sacrifices to the sky, the king's royal flag, and all the princes were all destroyed. They took prisoners," the soldier continued.

After hearing the soldier's words, King Youxian's eyes turned red and he threw the soldier out on the spot. Then he pulled out the weapon on his waist and pointed at the soldier and said
"You dare to pass on false information? I will kill you!!!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life. Everything I said is true. I dare not tell any lies. Many tribes were attacked by Heiqin's cavalry along the way." The soldier knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Hearing the soldiers' words, the leaders of the surrounding tribes could no longer sit still. They stood up and stopped the angry King Youxian, and asked the soldiers
"What tribe did you see being attacked?"

The soldier told all the things he saw on the road, including the leader of the tribe that Meng Tian attacked.

"Damn Hei Qin, I will definitely fight them to death!" King Youxian said angrily.

But none of the tribal leaders present agreed with King Youxian. At this moment, they only had one idea in mind, which was to return to their own tribe to prevent Meng Tian from attacking their tribe.

"Your Majesty, think again. Now Black Qin's Golden Fire Cavalry is rampant in our hinterland. If we are still in a stalemate with Black Qin's army here, even if we defeat Black Qin, what we will face is the aftermath of being burned to death. Tribe." A tribal leader stood up and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the family members of our tribal warriors are all in the tribe. If someone lets them know that their family members are in danger, they may not be willing to fight anymore!!"

"Your Majesty, now we should stop Black Qin's Golden Fire Cavalry and rescue the captured princes."

For a time, the whole big tent was in a circle. Everyone was talking, but they all meant the same. They did not want to fight. The tribal leaders who were not attacked wanted to go back to protect their tribes, and the tribal leaders who were attacked wanted to go back and protect their tribes. They want to rush back to save their tribe and the army in hand. If there is another problem with the army in hand, they will completely disappear on the grassland.Competition on the grasslands is even more brutal than in the Central Plains.

King Youxian's red eyes scanned the tribal leaders who filled the camp. He wanted to seek revenge from Hei Qin, but he also understood that if he insisted on going his own way, these tribal leaders might lead their troops to leave directly. By then, he would lose the support of these people. But he was a little unwilling to let him go back like this.

"We will discuss this matter later. You all should go out first." King Youxian said coldly.

The tribal leaders looked at King Youxian's cold face and didn't say anything. They left the camp directly. The tribal leaders who left began to discuss the matter privately. As the tribal leaders discussed, Meng Tian went rampant on the grassland. The news spread among the Xiongnu army, and the idea of ​​withdrawing troops suddenly appeared one after another.

While King Youxian was thinking, his subordinates reported the current movements of the main force of the Qin army.
