Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Mao Dun sneered, but he really misunderstood King Donghu in this matter.

King Donghu really wanted to use the Xiongnu, but the price of food was still affordable, but he didn't expect that before his food could be shipped out, even the king's court was taken by Zhao Che.

"But, Shan Yu, if we just withdraw our troops, what will happen to the tribe's winter food this year?"

At this time, a tribal leader stepped forward and asked, now that the entire Xiongnu can't find a grain of rice, it is conceivable that there will be heavy casualties this winter.

There seems to be no essential difference between starving so many people to death and tens of thousands of people being wiped out in the war with Daqin.

"Don't worry about food for the time being. On the vast northern grassland, as long as we have brave soldiers in our hands, will we still worry about food?"

"Da Shanyu is right. Instead of letting our warriors die in vain, we should preserve our strength, retreat temporarily, and wait for another day to fight again."

Soon, Mao Dun's words were unanimously agreed by everyone present, and that night, an order to retreat was sent from the court of the Huns to the front line.

……

"My lord, Donghu has already been wiped out by us, why do we have to rush to the Xiongnu?"

After Zhao Che took Li Xin and others to wipe out the Donghu Royal Court, there was almost no time to rest, so Zhao Che gave the order to march again.

A [-]-strong army was left behind, and Wang Li was asked to escort the supplies and captives from Donghu Royal Court back to Shangjun. Go to Zhongtuochuyin Mountain, and then go straight to the court of the Huns.

Li Xin obviously didn't understand Zhao Che's order.

After all, the forces of the Xiongnu had already been tightly restrained by Meng Tian, ​​and even Meng Tian was fully capable of directly defeating the coalition forces of both sides, and entering the court of the Huns head-on.

It's just that in this way, Qin Jun's damage must be great, which is not worthwhile.

The remaining Huns were no longer a threat to Daqin, even if they were left to clean up slowly.

"The reason why the Huns have been able to harm the Great Qin for so many years is precisely because it is difficult for us to completely wipe them out. I guess that on the frontal battlefield at this time, the Huns and the Donghu coalition forces have already fallen into a disadvantage."

"Now the Donghu King's Court has been destroyed by us, but it is difficult to hide this news for too long. If the Xiongnu find out, they will definitely choose to withdraw their troops at the first time. When the time comes, let them migrate away. Our expedition this time is tantamount to Returned in vain."

"Therefore, we must hurry up now. It is best to take the Xiongnu royal court before they react. The remaining main force of the coalition forces can choose to deal with it slowly."

……

The strength of the Xiongnu and Donghu has actually been shown very clearly from this battle, and the combination of the two sides is not the opponent of Daqin.

That being the case, why the Xiongnu were able to run rampant on the border of the Great Qin for hundreds of years, all because of an important pass, the Hexi Corridor.

For the Xiongnu, the Hexi Corridor is a natural Great Wall barrier. As long as it is still in their hands, it is impossible for Daqin to completely wipe it out.

Therefore, Zhao Che has only one goal now, and that is to completely eliminate Touman and the members of the Xiongnu Royal Court, and then take advantage of the trend to take down the Hexi Corridor.

Zhao Che didn't know that that idiot Touman had already been dealt with by Modun.

And Mao Dun was also decisive, facing the immediate crisis, he directly chose to cut his wrists to survive.

Even if it is to give up the Xiongnu's operation in the Hetao area for so many years, they must decisively preserve their strength. As long as they retreat to the Hexi Corridor, Daqin will have nothing to do with them.

Not to mention the difficulty and consumption of the Qin army crossing the Hexi Corridor, even if the Xiongnu can't fight here, they can move at any time. It is impossible for the Qin army to accompany them all the time, right?

In short, after nearly half a month, Zhao Che and the others finally arrived at the Hetao area.

At the same time, on the front line of Shangjun, Meng Tian also received bad news, that is, the Xiongnu army has begun to secretly retreat in batches.

If it hadn't been for Donghu's side to discover the little tricks of the Huns, and the two sides suddenly started biting dogs, maybe the Huns really got their way.

"Damn it, pass my order, the whole army will attack, we must stop the Xiongnu and Donghu allied forces, if they plan to retreat by force, we will directly kill the Xiongnu king's court!"

As soon as Meng Tian got the news, he directly issued an order for the whole army to press in.

In the other side's coalition army camp, the coalition forces between the Donghu and the Xiongnu have faintly begun to show signs of rupture.

At the same time, the leader of Donghu was also a little curious. He has been here for so long, why there is still no news from Wang Ting, and even the spies he sent back on his own initiative have not brought back any news.

Especially after seeing that the Xiongnu chose to retreat decisively, the Donghu general couldn't help it.

"Don't forget that your Shan Yu has already reached an agreement with our great king to jointly fight against Da Qin's army. If you withdraw now, don't you want the food donated by me, Donghu?"

The leader of the Xiongnu was actually a little confused, because he only received the news of the withdrawal from the royal court, and he didn't know the more detailed content at all.

Withdrawing troops is the most sensible choice now, but it is obviously impossible not to give Donghu an explanation.

"I'm really sorry, we also received the order from the royal court. As for why, I don't know the reason, but I believe that Shan Yu is definitely not the kind of person who contradicts his promise. Maybe your King Donghu has already reached something with Shan Yu. Let’s make a new agreement, don’t tell me you haven’t received any news from the royal court during this period of time?”

Hearing the words of the general of the Huns, the leader of Donghu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Yes, why the Huns have already made a decision, and their royal court has no news?
"I don't care what you say, but at least we won't retreat until our king's order arrives. If you dare to withdraw without permission, just wait to bear Donghu's wrath."

The leader of Donghu threatened the leader of the Huns.

Just when the two were about to fight, suddenly there was a shout of killing from outside, and at the same time a guard ran in in a panic.

"It's not good, the two commanders, the Qin army has begun to attack aggressively!"

"what?"

Hearing this, the two of them instantly extinguished their anger. Their current common enemy is still Daqin, and internal strife is also a private matter. Who else needs to work together on the battlefield.

"Send troops to counterattack!"

The two looked at each other, issued an order directly, and then put on their armor and came out to observe the situation on the front line.

"Is Qin Jun crazy? He actually wants to fight us?"

As soon as the two came out, they were frightened by Qin Jun's mighty momentum.

Because the Qin army was not a simple test this time, it was clear that all 40 troops were sent out.

It was still the Zodiac Army as the vanguard, rushing into their defense line, while the rest of the army followed closely behind, pressing up all at once.
