Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 238 Trading
"The whole army breaks through!"

Seeing that Mao Dun had already torn his face, Wang Li immediately shouted in fright.

Facing the encirclement and suppression of [-] cavalry, only [-] infantry and cavalry coalition forces had no other choice but to choose to retreat and spend as much as they could.

Fifty thousand cavalry surrounded the infantry and cavalry allied army like dumplings, and the battlefield was instantly reduced to a meat grinder. The corpses filled the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and the stench of corpses made all the soldiers feel uncomfortable.

Looking at all the fallen soldiers, Wang Li's eyes burst out with bloodshot eyes and he shouted: "Fight."

Wang Li waved his long spear, aimed at Maodun and charged forward, Maodun's personal guards shot arrows to stop him from attacking, but the bow and arrow were either dodged flexibly by Wang Li, or cut off by Wang Li with his long spear.

There were also a few bows and arrows that hit Wang Li and knocked them back, but Wang Li endured the severe pain and cut off the arrows, gritted his teeth and continued to charge.

He rushed to Maodun's guards, killing several people in a row, as if there was no one in the land, which made the Huns frightened.

On the other hand, Zhang Han found the flaws in the front left of the Huns army, and before they formed an encirclement circle, he broke through in advance.

Zhang Han ordered the [-] escaped soldiers to divide into ten groups and gather in the camp of the Chinese army. Once they entered the camp, they would burn the granary. If the camp fell, they would inform General Qiang Yan and Li Xin of the news and order them not to come to support. up.

The [-] cavalry nodded frequently, and Zhang Han, as a bait, continued to lead the rest of the cavalry to the Huns to rescue Wang Li.

The [-] cavalry who escaped were chased by the Huns, and many soldiers had fallen, but still many people rushed into the enemy camp, and said to the lieutenant general guarding the granary: "General Wang Li and Zhang Han retreated with us to cover our retreat. Fifty thousand Xiongnu troops were strangled together, and life and death are uncertain."

"General Zhang Han ordered us to set fire to the granary, then retreat, and try to report the news to General Meng Tian."

Everyone's expressions turned pale when they heard the words, and in desperation they could only light the granary. The fire quickly covered the Qin army's camp, and the flames caught everyone's eyes.

Zhang Han and Wang Li showed a smile on their faces. There was never a shortage of food and grass in Daqin. This time it was burned, and next time it could be confiscated and transported to the front line. However, the fruits accumulated by these farmers cannot be taken away by the Huns.

There was murderous intent in Mao Dun's eyes, and he said with a ferocious face: "Damn it, all the food and grass are burned!"

Originally, the harassing grain was expected to be supplemented by the soldiers of the three armies, but it was unexpected that the Qin army would take the initiative to burn grain and not leave a grain of rice for the Huns, so how would our army supplement grain.

In desperation, Mao Dun's face darkened, and he said coldly: "If you can't supply the army with food, then use your blood to comfort the spirits of the dead soldiers."

Mao Dun burst out with murderous intent, rushed towards Wang Li, the two guns negotiated together, sparks burst out, their eyes fixed on each other, wishing to pull each other's skin off.

Wang Li did not show any weakness, and used all his strength to stab Mao Dun in the chest, but Mao Dun dodged nimbly and confronted Wang Li's spear.

Facing this huge strength, Wang Li felt a strong sense of oppression, as if a boulder was pressing on his chest, making him suffocating.

When Mao Dun was about to stab Wang Li's chest with his spear, Zhang Han appeared in time to rescue Wang Li, and the two of them strangled together with Mao Dun. Seeing this, the Huns surrounded the two Qin generals like wasps.

Zhang Han's brows were tightly furrowed, his fists were hard to beat with four hands, not to mention hundreds of people, the soldiers waved their long halberds one after another, and stabbed at the chests of Zhang Han and General Wang Li.

The two briskly evaded the key points and killed several soldiers in a row, but the Xiongnu army seemed to be fearless, and stimulated by Mao Dun's military achievements, they became more frustrated and courageous, and slowly approached the two of them.

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two of them, but they were not worried at all.

From the moment they step into the battlefield, they don't need to care about life and death. Death is the destination of soldiers, and it is even more honorable to die honorably on the battlefield.

Zhang Han and Wang Li looked at each other, Zhang Han smiled slightly and said, "I killed 20 people more than you!"

Wang Li smiled contemptuously, and said lightly: "I'm ashamed to say that I only killed 20 people. I can exchange thirty Hun heads, and I'll earn it!"

Seeing all the soldiers of the Qin Army behind them fall down, the two of them had tears in their eyes, and at that moment they felt a little regretful and annoyed, but there was only one chance, and once they chose, they would never look back.

The two grinned at the sky, and the surrounding soldiers slowly approached the two of them. Zhang Han felt a little unwilling, and continued to fight for a while, gathered thirty heads, and said to Wang Li, "Now we are even."

The two laughed heartily, which made the Xiongnu soldiers terrified when they heard the news, and they even took a few steps back in fright, but they still stood on tiptoe and walked forward firmly.

Facing the ferocious attack of the long halberds, the two had nothing to do. The long halberds were much longer than their spears, and hundreds of long halberds surrounded them, making them at a loss what to do.

Zhang Han smiled contemptuously, he did not expect that he would die on the way to escort the grain and grass in his brilliant life.

It didn't matter that he died, but the rations of the frontline soldiers had been burned, so the soldiers could only withdraw and wait for the logistics to be sufficient to attack again.

If his death can be exchanged for the safety of the food and grass, it will be worth it.

But this is impossible after all!
Zhang Han recalled his short life. During the Battle of the Six Kingdoms, he was the Ordnance General, responsible for building the siege ordnance. He and Ma Xing provided guarantee for the army's logistics.

After destroying the Six Kingdoms, he was promoted to Shaofu for his meritorious service.

Because the thought of Mohism was incompatible with Qin Fa, and the two conflicted, Qin Mo was no longer reused, and Zhang Han had no chance to work with military weapons.

What's more, the Qin army didn't need siege ordnance to fight against the barbarians. Their barriers were easy to attack and difficult to defend. They could only win by luring the enemy to encircle and suppress them, and the ordnance was useless.

When the battle against the Huns came, he was appointed as the general of the supply chain, transporting grain and grass.

At that time, Zhang Han was still a little disappointed, and hoped to join the army to fight against the Huns instead of providing logistical support. Unfortunately, things backfired, and he could only accept an army of [-] prisoners.

A few days ago, the escort of food and grass was safe and sound, but something happened during the final decisive battle. He was so annoyed that he wanted to take a shortcut, but he was still caught by the Huns.

Zhang Han howled to the sky, his voice mixed with disappointment and unwillingness.

Wang Li also burst into hysterical anger.

After the gate, is he going to die here? He hasn't established his grandfather's great achievements, and he hasn't imitated his father to destroy the Huns. Could it be that he just died like this?

Suddenly, a scout came to report: "Reporting to Shan Yu, there is a looming attack from the west and north, each with [-] soldiers, and they are heading towards us."
