Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 397: The Qin army attacked the camp at night, but King Youxian fled without fighting (please vote!!)
Mengwu rode his horse with two thousand cavalry and took advantage of the darkness to reach outside the Huns camp.

Qi Liyi looked at Meng Wu beside him and said softly
"Commander, you are the leader of an army. Just leave this risky matter to me."

Meng Wu glanced at Qi Liyi and shook his head.
"I'm not worried. King Youxian is definitely not a simple person in his battle of wits and courage with King Zuoxian and the original Touman within the Xiongnu. I'm worried that this is a trap set by King Youxian."

As the commander of an army, Meng Wu naturally did not want to take this risk. If this was really a trap by the Huns, without the signal they agreed on, it would be impossible for the Qin army to attack the Huns camp, let alone their The 2000-man cavalry was just the front army. The Qin army's cavalry was divided into five groups and raided the Xiongnu camp from five directions.

What's more important is that Meng Wu didn't dare to make the slightest mistake in sweeping away King Youxian's tribe this time, especially since his men still had the future of the old Qin Dynasty and the clan, Ai Liyi.Strictly speaking, the Meng family and Chu Liyi are allies. The Meng family is not only a slave of the Qin clan, but also an out-and-out old Qin person from Yueyang. Meng Wu would not dare to let him go no matter what. There is a problem with Qi Liyi.

At the same time, Meng Tian led the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Huns servants collected along the way to the rear of the Xiongnu camp.Meng Tian's face was stained with blood, and the armor on his body was also dirty. If it weren't for the cold light still emanating from the spear tip in his hand, Meng Tian and the army behind him would have looked like fleeing civilians.

After attacking the Youxian King tribe, Meng Tian no longer concealed his whereabouts. He defeated several Xiongnu tribes along the way and rushed here directly from the hinterland of the Youxian King tribe. Not only did Meng Tian's team not lose strength due to continuous attacks, but By continuously absorbing surrendered Huns soldiers, the number of the entire team reached 3.

"Ahead is King Youxian's camp." Meng Tian looked at the Xiongnu camp in front of him. He felt thirsty due to excitement and subconsciously licked his lips.

The deputy general on the side handed his kettle to Meng Tian, ​​who took a sip to relieve his thirst.

"General, are we going to fuck him?" the deputy general said with eyes shining.

The generals and soldiers around him also looked at Meng Tian with excitement. The fighting and raiding for a month had not only not made them tired, but also made them more ferocious.After all, Meng Tian not only ate and lived with them, but also made clear rewards and punishments. Meng Tian was not stingy with all the seizures along the way, which made them fight harder and harder to gain more military achievements and seizures. .

"The main target of the current Xiongnu army should be the general. They never expected that we would suddenly appear behind them." Meng Tian felt that there was a great chance of attacking the Xiongnu camp, and they attacked the Xiongnu camp here. The Qin army's They will definitely be able to find it, and they will also send people to support them. Thinking of this, General Meng Tian handed the kettle to the deputy general and asked

"How are the Hun scouts cleaning up nearby?"

The deputy general smiled and said

"Don't worry, general. We have an army of servants. Let's find these Huns scouts to catch them. We've almost cleared up the nearby scouts."

It is precisely because of the servant army composed of these Xiongnu soldiers that the Golden Fire Cavalry can be unstoppable along the way. After all, they know everything about the branches of the Youxian King tribe, their strength, and the reconnaissance habits of the scouts. Relying on these Man, the Golden Fire Cavalry can attack suddenly every time, leaving the opponent with no time to react.

Meng Wu glanced at the servant army on the side and said to the snare spy next to him.

"You tell them that as long as they finish this battle, they will be able to go to Qin immediately and no longer have to live the hard life on the grassland. They may even become nobles through military merit. This is what I promised them."

"promise!"

The snare spy conveyed Meng Tian's words in Hun language. The eyes of the originally tired Hun soldiers suddenly shone with the light of hungry wolves seeing their prey. Their throats rolled and they made the sound of swallowing saliva.The hierarchical structure within the Xiongnu is far more unbreakable than in the Central Plains. Nobles will always be nobles. Unless they become a tribal leader, they will always be the lower class. Those who fight on the battlefield will always be the lower class and slaves, so becoming a noble is attractive to them. Far more important than life.

On the grassland, the people at the bottom are worse off than alive. After all, they have been stepped on by others all their lives. They don't have any military merit system. What they get in every war is what they earn with their own lives. It's just property, but the property they get is often not as good as one-tenth of what they grabbed. These are the reasons why Meng Tian asked them to surrender and they decisively joined the servant army, because the Qin army has a military merit hierarchy, and they can Rely on this to become a noble.

In particular, the Golden Fire Cavalry were Huns who had defected to the Qin State during the Shangdang County War. These people now live a much better life relying on military merit in the Qin State than on the grasslands. With these people as examples, these Huns are one by one. They all want to join the Qin State and kill a noble Dangdang.

It is inevitable to die in a war, but it is different if you survive. You only have a little property in the Huns, but you can become a noble in the Qin State. Anyone who is a fool knows who to follow.After all, who is killing but not killing?As long as the treatment is good enough, they don't mind trading the lives of their own people for their own future.

If they were not attacking at night, these Huns servants would definitely be cheering at this moment, just like the brainwashed Hu Qiying who vowed to be loyal to Ying Zheng to the death.

At this moment, Meng Wu and Meng Tian were both looking at the Xiongnu camp in the middle, with caution in their eyes. The horses under their crotches seemed to feel the nervousness of their masters, and they remained quiet and motionless, not daring to disturb their masters.

Suddenly, the quiet Xiongnu camp suddenly became turbulent, and the fire lit up half of the night sky. Meng Wu and Meng Tian were shocked when they saw this scene.

Qi Liyi asked
"Commander, are we going to enter the palace?"

The fire had spread, and half of the Xiongnu camp was now in chaos.Meng Wu looked at it and concluded from the burning place that the Xiongnu's food and grass had been ignited. However, the signal agreed between Meng Wu and the Luowang spies did not appear from this moment, so Meng Wu did not dare to attack.

Meng Tian also restrained his men. He didn't know what the Huns were doing and was prepared to wait and see for a while.

At this time, in the Xiongnu camp, King Youxian, who was sleeping, was awakened by the panic outside. He grabbed the weapon on the side and walked out. Looking at the chaotic camp outside, he grabbed a panicked person. the soldier asked
"what happened?"

The soldier wanted to break free, but when he saw that it was King Youxian, he hurriedly replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, for some unknown reason, the horse pen caught fire. The fire spread to the food and grass area. Now the whole camp is in chaos."

After hearing the soldiers' words, King Youxian's pupils suddenly contracted. He looked at the fire in front of him, and the scene of the Qin army's night attack on the Xiongnu camp during the battle of Shangdang County came to mind. For a moment, the Qin army was like locusts crossing the border. The ordinary rain of arrows, Qin Rui's swordsmanship, the men and horses were torn apart, and the Yulin army strangled on the battlefield. Scenes all appeared in King Youxian's mind. King Youxian subconsciously wanted to escape, but he thought that he was not facing the same person as before. Qin Jun still calmed down.

"Go put out the fire quickly. Where are the horses? Have they rushed out of the horse pen?" King Youxian asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, our water source is gone. The bucket of water we saved has a hole for some reason. As for the horses, they have already rushed out of the horse pen!" said the soldier.

"What!?" King Youxian fired at the soldier, and the weapon in his right hand fell to the ground.

The soldier looked at King Youxian who was in a daze and went to put out the fire instead of paying attention to King Youxian.

"It's over, it's over." King Youxian was now very convinced that the fire was set by the Qin army. Everything that happened tonight was exactly the same as the battle of Shangdang County.In the chaos, King Youxian woke up and looked at the spreading fire that could not be extinguished. He knew that the war was hopeless. The guards on the side happened to find King Youxian and asked King Youxian what to do.

"Send people to put out the fire." King Youxian said.

"Yes!"

After the guard left, King Youxian waved to the guard on the side to come forward.

"Send people to prepare horses to take our people away."

"Ah!?" The guard looked at King Youxian in surprise, as if he didn't understand what King Youxian said.

"Stop talking nonsense, do as I say, gather our soldiers, and send all the soldiers from other tribes to put out the fire!" King Youxian said.

Seeing King Youxian getting angry, the guard did not dare to say anything more and went to do what King Youxian said.Just as King Youxian was riding his horse and preparing to leave, two arrows suddenly rang out over the Xiongnu camp.

Seeing the command arrow, Meng Wu pulled out his saber and said
"attack!!"

"Come on!" Qi Liyi pulled off the mask on his helmet and charged towards the Huns camp with his spear in hand.

At the same time, the surrounding Qin army cavalry rushed towards the Xiongnu camp. At this moment, the Xiongnu camp was still anxiously putting out the fire, and did not realize that the Qin army was already attacking them.Meng Tian, ​​who was located at the rear of the Xiongnu army, saw the arrows in the sky and understood that the Qin army was going to attack the Xiongnu camp at night, so he no longer hesitated.

"Go straight to the Huns camp!!"

Meng Tian gave an order, and the golden fire cavalry and servants, who were already hungry and thirsty, immediately rushed towards the Huns camp.

Seeing the command arrows ringing in the sky, King Youxian did not dare to delay any longer and said
"Walk!!"

Then King Youxian did not dare to stay too long and took his elite confidants to escape.At the same time, He Yangli and Abatu made all their soldiers huddle up and showed their left side to show their support for the Qin army. At the same time, several black flags were raised in the camp.

"Now that the matter is over, just ask the two leaders to wait for news." said the snare spy.

"Thank you." He Yangli and Abatu said.

After the snare spies left, He Yangli ordered:
"Come and prepare soldiers to follow you to find King Youxian."

"What do you mean? What are you going to do?" Abatu asked.

"I want to kill King Youxian. If he falls into the hands of the Qin army, who do you think the Qin State will choose as this puppet between us and King Youxian?" He Yangli got on his horse and said.

Abatu looked at the soldiers of the Heyang tribe who had already prepared, and understood that Heyangli had prepared everything a long time ago. Abatu did not say anything and allowed Heyangli to leave.

At this time, the patrolling Xiongnu soldiers discovered the Qin army attacking them, but they were killed by arrows before they could remember their reaction. As the Qin army rushed into the Xiongnu camp, the originally chaotic Xiongnu camp The camp was now even more chaotic.

When they discovered that the Qin army was coming, the Xiongnu tribe leaders who were originally putting out the fire gave up putting out the fire and began to organize their manpower to resist the Qin army. However, the Xiongnu soldiers who were already exhausted from fighting the fire were only able to resist the Qin army. It was just a matter of death, but the Xiongnu soldiers relied on their numerical superiority to successfully prevent the Qin army's attack. For a while, the Xiongnu soldiers relied on their numerical superiority to fall into a deadly battle with the attacking Qin army.

At this time, these tribal leaders gathered in the camp of King Youxian in disgrace. They wanted to find King Youxian and ask King Youxian to order the entire army to resist the Qin army. However, when they walked into the camp of King Youxian’s tribe, they found that There was no one inside, and their faces became ugly. The group of people quickly stepped into the king's tent. Seeing that there was no one in the king's tent, one of them reached into the animal skin on the bed.

The cold touch told them that the person had been gone for a long time.

They immediately understood that they had been betrayed by King Youxian. A tribal leader kicked King Youxian's throne and knocked the throne to the ground.

"Telit, you traitor, Changshengtian will punish you!!!" the tribe leader shouted.

"What now?" someone asked.

Everyone looked at each other and no one could do anything. Some people wanted to organize people to resist the Qin army, but more people wanted to escape. King Youxian had abandoned them and fled. No one was sure who was organizing the people to resist the Qin army. Do you want to trade their lives for time for them to escape?

As one tribal leader left, other tribal leaders rushed to leave. After returning to their tribes, they began to call on their tribal soldiers to escape. They did not want to fall behind and be killed by the Qin army.

There was no leader, and the entire Xiongnu camp immediately fell apart. The Xiongnu soldiers who were blocking the Qin army also dispersed. The Xiongnu soldiers in the entire Xiongnu camp began to run away and no longer thought about resisting. This in turn left the Qin army without a leader. resistance, began to crazily harvest the lives of the Hun soldiers.

King Youxian, who escaped from the Xiongnu camp, wiped the sweat from his forehead. Because of his haste to escape, he only took away half of his 3000 soldiers, and this half also suffered countless casualties due to chaos and the Qin army's attack. , those who died in the battle and those who were separated left only more than [-] soldiers around him.

Looking at the burning Huns camp behind him, King Youxian was glad that he escaped quickly enough. Just when King Youxian was thinking about leaving the green hills without fear of running out of firewood, there was a sound of horse hooves behind him.

"Old thief Telite, please leave!!"

King Youxian turned around and saw that the person coming was He Yangli who was chasing after him with his soldiers!He Yangli’s left arm was naked, and the soldiers behind him were holding black flags!
