Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 239 The Cold Temperature

What the scout said was cold and without any warmth, which made Mouton shudder.

Mao Dun pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Don't kill them, this is our bargaining chip."

Facing the siege of hundreds of soldiers, Zhang Han and Wang Li wanted to commit suicide, but were stopped by the Huns.

After all, Zhang Han and Wang Li are the bargaining chips for them to get out.

The northern troops were led by Li You.

Li You was furious when he heard that Wang Li led the cavalry to leave privately. Then when he learned that the Xiongnu had attacked Zhang Han's army, his face was shocked. After asking Meng Tian for instructions, he led the cavalry to gallop.

They finally arrived at the camp before dark, but they knew it was too late when they saw the fire in the sky, and all the granaries had been burned. According to the information of the soldiers in the camp, they learned that Zhang Han had been surrounded by the Huns.

A trace of panic flashed in Li You's eyes. If he hadn't been the chief general, he might have fallen off the horse directly.

After pondering for a moment and calming down, Li You said lightly: "The whole army assaults to avenge the dead General Zhang Han."

On the other side, General Qiang Li finally arrived and ordered the army to make corrections and prepare for the next battle. They arrived one step later than Li You. All the food and grass here had been reduced to ashes. It's a large piece of sloppy black paint.

Qiang Li stood on the top of the mountain and looked at it from a distance, exclaiming in surprise: "This is a disaster!"

Immediately, the scouts came to the army and said to Qiang: "General Qiang, the Xiongnu attacked the food and grass, and our food and grass have all been burned. Generals Zhang Han and Wang Li have already strangled with the Qin army to cover our retreat. It seems It's already dead."

Sweat broke out on Qiang Lu's forehead, he swallowed and said, "I didn't expect it to be a step too late!"

The army rations had been burned, and at the same time they marched lightly, the rations and grass had been exhausted, and the morale of the soldiers dropped instantly, but Qiang Zhen raised his arms and shouted: "This is the end, we can't complain about ourselves here, we want to kill all the soldiers of the Huns. Soldiers take revenge."

Encouraged, the soldiers clenched their fists and pointed their spears at the Huns army at the foot of the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Qiang Li waved his long sword, raised his arms and shouted: "The whole army assaults, follow me to kill!"

Qiang Li took the lead, and the soldiers behind him rushed down the mountain just like a dark cloud, rushing towards the Huns cavalry, wishing they could swallow them alive.

Li You's cavalry also came from the north. The Xiongnu cavalry was taken aback. The Qin army rushed towards the Xiongnu army like two sharp swords, making the Xiongnu soldiers frightened.

Mao Dun smiled slightly, and slowly said: "Although they have rushed here, they have exhausted a lot of energy after traveling a long distance, and their soldiers have no food and grass supplies. The Qin army's soldiers will definitely be low, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

"But we are different. We have just won the battle, strangled all the Qin army, and captured the two generals of the Qin State. The form is very beneficial to us!"

"Besides, we have two generals as bargaining chips, which can guarantee that we will escape unscathed."

Qiang Lu and Li You came to the front of the Xiongnu army, and Mao Dun ordered the infantry to form a formation and prepare for the battle.

The Qin army was so aggressive that it seemed that they were ready to kill the Huns to satisfy their hunger, but Li You and Qiang Yan came to the front of the two armies and did not rush to fight.

Mao Dun came to the front of the formation, and said slowly: "Who is the chief general, stand up and speak."

Qiang Li gritted his teeth in anger when he heard Mao Dun's arrogant attitude, and said coldly, "Don't you know what your situation is? How dare you speak big here without shame!"

Now Maodun is facing an army of 1, which is different from Zhang Han's prisoner army. Dare to offend.

Luantou Manchanyu dared to confront the regular Qin army only by using tactics. Could it be that Maodun also wanted to head-on.

What's more, the number of Qin's army is twice that of the Xiongnu's army!

A faint smile appeared on Li You's face, and he slowly said: "Bold! You dare to speak like this, are you getting impatient? What do you think you are?"

Li You's outbursts of scolding also made Qiang Zhen dumbfounded. It stands to reason that Li You should be more calm when he followed Li Xin to fight, but Li You was uncharacteristically, which made Qiang confused for a while. Hate it to the bone, after all, the granary has been burned.

Mao Dun didn't panic, and said slowly: "Don't worry about the two generals, it won't be too late to show you two fight!"

Qiang Li frowned, and the two who could keep Mo Dun calm were definitely not small people, so he glanced at Li You, nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

Mao Dun let out a hearty laugh, clapped his palms lightly, and said slowly: "This is what a negotiator should look like!"

Thus, Zhang Han and Wang Li were blindfolded and brought in front of them, and took off their masks.

Qiang Lu and Wang Li's expressions turned cold, they didn't expect them to die, but they were arrested instead.

The surrounding soldiers also broke out in cold sweat, but then smiled, it would be great if they didn't die.

But Mao Dun said: "How about I trade the lives of these two people for our escape?"

Retreat?

There was a hint of resignation on Qiang Yan's face.

The Xiongnu soldiers attacked an army of 15 prisoners and wiped them all out. They forced the soldiers to burn the granary in vain, causing the grain of the [-] army to be burned. Just like this, you are released. How can the anger of the [-] soldiers be appeased?

But Li You pondered for a moment and said: "Zhang Han is the general of the supplies, transporting all the food and supplies of the soldiers. If he is gone, how will the rations of the 15 troops be transported?"

"And Wang Li is the descendant of the general family, the grandson of Wang Jian, so naturally he can't die here."

Li You took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. After all, there was still a need for a deal.

After pondering for a moment, Qiang He said: "How can I trust your integrity? What if you escape and fail to hand over the two generals?"

Mao Dun said: "Northern foot of Helan Mountain, as soon as we reach the northern foot of Helan Mountain, we will let you go."

Qiang Yan suppressed the panic in his heart, and said angrily: "Although I feel unwilling, the fact is that the food and grass for 15 soldiers is still a small number after all. We can transport it again, but the loss of the commander-in-chief who transported food and grass is a big problem." problem, we can only let it go!"

Mao Dun's face turned cold, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said coldly: "I hope you will keep your promise!"

Qiang Li nodded slightly, waved his arms, and shouted to the soldiers of the three armies: "Get out of the way, let Maodun retreat completely."

Qin Jun was unwilling, but he still resisted the unwillingness in his heart and flashed a way, so the Huns left swaggeringly.

Both armies are maintaining the last sliver of trust, but they can't wait to rush up and strangle each other.
