Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 409 Kill! kill! kill!

"General, please reorganize the army. I will do my best!" Li Shiqi nodded when he heard this.

To be honest, Han Xin's arrogance was never concealed. If it weren't for the fact that Li Shiqi and Han Xin were both guests of Zhao Simen, Li Shiqi and Han Xin really couldn't get along.

Who is he, Li Shiqi?

Gaoyang drunkard!

He is known to be a crazy person, but obviously, Han Xin is even crazier than him.

Historically, these two buddies still had grievances, but now it is very difficult to barely live in harmony.

Li Shiqi, escorted by Xiang Yu, mounted his horse again and headed straight for the Huns.

And Han Xin also began to mobilize his troops.

……

"I will restrain the tribe and obey the orders of the superior general. Please let General Han Xin do what he wants!"

Things went smoothly beyond Li Shiqi's imagination.

Although he was not optimistic that Han Xin's proposal to lead the Xiongnu army would succeed, Li Shiqi would do his best and was prepared to spend a lot of money. However, what Li Shiqi didn't expect was that the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun would do it so easily. Agree to Han Xin's slightly rude request.

"Please go to the country and join forces with the Xiongnu as soon as possible. I will mobilize the tribesmen and prepare for the expedition!"

When Li Shiqilai arrived, the Xiongnu's buttocks were not even hot, so he went back to report again.

Fortunately, it was much faster this time. Han Xin led an army of 10,000 people and was already halfway there.

It took about half a day. When it was getting late, Han Xin led an army of 10,000 people and finally arrived at the Huns' station.

After a brief observation, Han Xin ordered the entire army to set up camp in an area that was easy to move and difficult to attack, and then began to join forces with Maodun Shanyu.

"The general defeated the 8,000 Donghu people with a thousand soldiers and horses. I have long heard of the general's reputation. Today I finally met the general. He is indeed majestic and majestic, which is heartbreaking!"

What is unexpected is that as a Xiongnu Chanyu, Mao Dun went directly to the Qin Bing army station and personally visited Han Xin with only eighteen cavalry.

He spoke eagerly, with the air of a corporal.

But Maodun's compliment was not just flattery. Han Xin was over 1.8 meters tall, and he was definitely tall and mighty, and his appearance was dignified. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been appointed as the halberd bearer by Xiang Yu.

Objectively speaking, Xiang Yu was pretty good to Han Xin in history.

An outsider, who was directly promoted to a soldier, was still a halberd-bearing man who was just a cosmetic, equivalent to the guard at the commander's door. To ordinary people, Xiang Yu's arrangements for Han Xin were not stingy.

But Han Xin was too arrogant. Although he had not made any meritorious service, he believed from the bottom of his heart that he should take charge of the army as soon as he came up.

Later, Han Xin ran away to Liu Bang and rushed to take charge of the entire army without making any achievements. A normal ruler would definitely not agree...

If it weren't for Xiao He's personal guarantee, and Han Xin's arrogance of just wanting to reach the sky in one step, it would be difficult for him to show his talent anywhere.

Therefore, Han Xin naturally acquiesced to Maodun's flattery.

"Have the Xiongnu tribes been recruited properly?" Han Xin looked at Mo Dun and asked straight to the point.

"The recruitment has been ordered, but it will still take some time. If nothing unexpected happens, the troops will be mobilized tomorrow." Mao Dun said.

"Soldiers are very quick, let's set off tonight!" Han Xin shook his head.

"It just takes a whole day to cross here. We set out tonight and arrived in Donghu territory just in the evening. This is when the herdsmen are returning home from grazing. We took this opportunity to go straight to Huanglong and enter the Donghu Royal Court." Han Xin said. said.

"I'm afraid it's a bit reluctant to leave tonight..." Mao Dun shook his head with a bit of reluctance on his face.

"Take me to the Hun King's tent, and you go gather your subordinates!" Han Xin glanced at Mao Dun.

Modun pondered for a moment and nodded. After a while, Han Xinfu led Xiang Yu and a few accompanying knights straight to the Huns' tent.

Mao Dun convened all the ministers under the account to discuss matters and carry out mobilization and recruitment.

"Donghu humiliated me too much. First he took my BMW, then my woman, and now he wants to claim the Xiongnu land. I have made up my mind to attack Donghu tonight!" Mao Dun expressed his stance.

"Chanyu..."

There are responders among subordinates, and naturally there are also opponents.

It’s a cliché thing. After all, Mao Dun hasn’t gone on a killing spree yet, so naturally there can’t be only one voice left here.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in the camp.

Generally speaking, the majority are in favor of sending troops, while the minority are opposed to sending troops and waiting. After all, Donghu's envoys were killed by Qin's envoys, and the Xiongnu had no second choice.

Even those who don’t want to use troops are just advised to wait and see.

"The Xiongnu and Qin have signed an alliance and agreed to become the kingdom of uncles and nephews. Now that the Xiongnu is in danger, Qin has sent troops to help, but the Xiongnu wants to wait and see, and has never heard of any disloyalty."

Han Xin stood up from Mao Dun in time and came to the main seat of the camp, and then looked at Xiang Yu who was standing beside him.

Xiang Yu understood this and immediately drew his sword.

soon!

There was only one voice left in the camp!

In terms of personal bravery, Xiang Yu could kill all the dozens of people in the camp without batting an eyelid, let alone a dozen or so opponents?

The Qin people openly killed people in the Xiongnu king's tent, even if they killed the opposition, it aroused public outrage. The Xiongnu present looked angrily, but they still hesitated when they looked at the burly Xiang Yu who forcibly squeezed people into cloth bags.

Everyone looked at Modun.

"From the moment Donghu asked for land from the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu and Donghu were already at odds with each other!"

"Since the Xiongnu signed an alliance with the Qin Dynasty, they should not abandon it. It is my attention to send troops to attack Donghu. I have decided to hand over the army to the Qin general. You should treat his orders as mine." Mao Dun Open your mouth to clarify the matter.

"Send the order! Call all the tribes and kill anyone in the country who is holding back!"

After Mao Dun endorsed the legitimacy of Commander Han Xin, Han Xin issued the first military order.

Xiang Yu killed someone in front of everyone, and Mao Dun endorsed it. No one dared to disobey Han Xin's order. Although they were slightly dissatisfied, Han Xin's leadership was confirmed.

After all, Han Xin had 10,000 elite soldiers.

In Mao Dun's hands, there are also ten thousand string control men who can only obey his orders.

The Xiongnu were a tribal system, but Mao Dun was considered a hero and his forces were better integrated than Touman, so it was more convenient for Han Xin to command them.

Because they had killed someone to establish their authority, the people present did not dare to slack off any more, and gathered tribal warriors one after another to follow Han Xin to lead the army into battle.

Han Xin conducted a simple inventory.

The total temporarily mobilized force was approximately 60,000.

Thirty thousand of them were soldiers and horses directly belonging to Moton, and the other thirty thousand were raised by various tribes.

Among the 60,000 soldiers and horses, only the 10,000 soldiers and horses trained by Mao Dun himself were considered elite soldiers, and the rest could only be said to be rabble.

With a population of more than 400,000, the Huns could mobilize so many troops temporarily, which is already very impressive. This shows that Mo Dun is definitely a rare talent. This is almost the limit of the Huns' violent troops.

No matter how many there are, it will only be a mob of ten to twenty thousand.

Plus Qin's 10,000 troops. The total strength is 70,000, including 10,000 absolute elites, 10,000 ordinary elites, and 50,000 rabble-rousers.

This is the normal situation on the grassland. In addition to a few horses, the grassland has poor weapons and equipment. Most of them are mobs. Donghu claims to have 200,000 string control people, but it may not be able to produce 20,000 elite soldiers.

However, because they are nomadic people, although their weapons and equipment are not good, they have many horses. On average, they can ride three people per person, which fully meets the needs of emergency marches.

"Abandon half of the baggage..." Han Xin issued the first order after completing the review.

The Xiongnu can also be considered a typical example of bringing their own supplies of heavy weapons and equipment.

This is mostly the case with levies.

However, bringing too much baggage will slow down the marching speed. In Han Xin's opinion, more than half of these baggage can be discarded.

Just enough baggage to cross thousands of miles of no-man's land is enough. Once you reach the border of Donghu, you will be at the mercy of the enemy.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they did not dare to refute and obeyed Han Xin's order to discard half of the baggage.

Han Xin nodded, arranged his troops in formation, and used the 10,000 elite troops of the Qin army to serve as the supervisory team and battlefield limiter to ensure that there would be no possibility of losing control and then set off at night.

The army marches quickly...

All the way across thousands of miles of no man's land.

The situation went very smoothly, and the Xiongnu came prepared in the true sense.

Moton had figured out the marching route in this uninhabited land a long time ago, and it would have no effect even if he set off in the dark.

Because a large amount of baggage was discarded, the route was clear, and this uninhabited land was regarded as Xiongnu territory, the rapid march was very fast, with an average daily march speed of nearly 80 kilometers.

On the seventh day, the earthen chamber Donghu set up for defense high on the border was already in sight.

This section is considered a buffer zone, and the terrain is somewhat undulating. Donghu occupied the high ground and set up many earthen chambers for defense.

Han made a brief observation with a telescope and found that many earthen chambers were deserted.

There are hundreds of earth chambers in total, but probably only a dozen are still in use.

After all, there is no hair in this place, and the Huns have always been cowardly, so it doesn't make any difference whether they defend or not.

Worried that the telescope observation was not clear enough, Han Xin sent Xiang Yu to lead fifty Qingqi to investigate.

Xiang Yu took the order, and after a simple roundabout approach, he found that the opponent's number was not large. Without asking Han Xin for instructions, he directly led fifty light cavalry into the enemy's formation.

There are very few Donghu herdsmen stationed on the entire border. There are only more than 600 soldiers and people in total. Among them, there are probably only more than 100 real soldiers, and the rest are herdsmen who have been forcibly relocated.

Although Xiang Yu only had fifty people, he still chose Mang.

He calculated mentally but not intentionally, he was prepared but not prepared, and he was attacking a side that was lax in defense.

The ten-fold difference in numbers meant nothing to Xiang Yu.

On this small-scale battlefield, he is a true god!

Xiang Yu, who was holding a big halberd, almost killed more than sixty enemies by himself. Fifty Qingqi, almost sixty, followed Xiang Yu and charged a few times, until the opponent was completely gone.

Only a few people were left alive because Xiang Yu was merciful and needed to collect intelligence.

The Huns easily pried open the mouths of several survivors.

The situation here is also briefly introduced.

It turns out that a long time ago, Dong Hu still attached great importance to the defense here.

Therefore, many earthen chambers were built here for warning and defense. After all, it was too close to the royal court of Donghu.

But the place was deserted and no one wanted to come, so King Donghu had no choice but to force the tribes to migrate in rotation.

Basically, it changes every year, ensuring that the number of defenders here will increase to 5,000 every year.

After all, the Huns during the Touman period were quite capable of fighting before their vitality was seriously injured.

But later Touman died, the Xiongnu's vitality was seriously injured, and the new king Maodun succeeded to the throne, so King Donghu despised him.

In addition, Mao Dun sacrificed both horses and women, looking cowardly and incompetent, so the defense here was quickly relaxed.

Tribes are still forced to migrate here every year, but there are policies and countermeasures.

Anyway, it is impossible for the Huns to take the initiative to attack. After the tribes on duty move here, they will wander a hundred or two hundred miles east, and then leave a few hundred people to live here and pretend to be there. In fact, the real tribesmen are here a hundred miles east. There are many places with water plants.

If King Donghu doesn't investigate, it will be considered as a fool.

If King Donghu checked, he would wander out for more than a hundred miles and come back in a day or two, determined to let him see the scene of everyone on guard before King Donghu sent someone to inspect.

And even if they were accidentally discovered, they would not be punished. After all, no one would think that the Huns led by Mao Dun dared to attack Donghu.

Now the regional defense change in this place has even become a method for King Donghu to punish various tribes. Those who are obedient will not come, and those who are disobedient will eat two years of soil...

"More than five thousand people...more than a hundred miles away." Han Xin smiled.

Since their marching route cannot be blocked in the first place, then don't worry about it and let them continue grazing in the east.

Their target is the Royal Court, and there is no need to eat the other party.

"Continue to march according to the original plan and attack the Donghu Palace within three days!" Han Xin gave the order.

The rush march, or sweep, has begun!

Seventy thousand troops rushed out of no man's land, broke through Donghu's roughly zero defense, and headed straight for Donghu's royal court.

March all the way and kill all the way!

Whenever a tribe is encountered, it will be wiped out directly, leaving no one alive.

During this period, Han Xin showed amazing decisiveness and ordered everyone not to collect any trophies and not to dismount except during rest time.

The man was killed, but the bag was not licked!

After killing, keep walking!

There are many large and small tribes in the middle, and it can be described as a bloody storm!

robber? No, they are not robbers, they are murderous butchers.

Except for the necessary food and water sources, the 70,000 troops did not move at all.

Of course, it was not because the Huns were so obedient, but because Han Xin had 10,000 Qin soldiers serving as supervisors.

Han Xin gave the supervising team the highest authority, and he showed no mercy when it came to killing people.

Because there were no survivors left, and they were always in a state of emergency march, without any delay in speed, when the news of the arrival of the Xiongnu army reached the ears of King Donghu, the army was only less than 60 miles away from the palace of Donghu.

March quickly!

Half a day!

"Send the order! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry, summon all the tribes!" King Donghu no longer cared to think about why the Huns came over so quickly!

The Xiongnu's 70,000-strong army was only a few dozen miles away from here in a straight line.

And it’s still shrinking!
