Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 244 Unpopular
"Are you free once?" Meng Tian frowned, and his face gradually became dignified.

Did the majestic Xiongnu royal court just give up as soon as they said it?
This time, with great difficulty, the four armies assembled in Yinshan. Unexpectedly, the Xiongnu abandoned the city and transferred the main force.

In desperation, Meng Tian could only order the whole army to gallop and discuss the matter.

Since it is an empty city, there is no need to worry about the empty city tricks. The Qin army has the ability to fight against the enemies in the city.

What's more, the soldiers of the Huns are still barbarians, so how could they plot against the empty city?
Meng Tian and other generals entered the city with peace of mind. The city was still as lifeless as before, and the silence was terrifying, which made the soldiers' complexions gradually become dignified.

The Qin army has indeed seen a lot of an isolated city, but this is the first time I have seen an isolated city in the territory of the Huns!
Touman City has a long history. It was once a city on the border of Zhao State. It was annexed by the Huns a few years ago. Touman City used the Great Wall here to build a high wall.

The army advanced quietly, stepping towards the court of the Huns, everything seemed to be the same as last time.

The royal court does not have the magnificence of Zhangtai Palace, but it has the solemnity of Xianyang City. Meng Tian and other four generals slowly stepped into the main hall and ordered the rest of the troops to leave temporarily. They will hold a military meeting here. Do not enter.

Ji Lang paused slightly, and closed the door firmly, the hall fell into a silence again, as if everyone was unable to breathe under the weight of a boulder.

Meng Tian was the first to break the tranquility and said coldly: "We have been in the city for so long and we haven't encountered an ambush yet. It seems that the Huns soldiers have abandoned the city and fled."

Li You's tense expression gradually relaxed. No ambush would be the best result.

This time, the army adopted the strategy of gradual encroachment and captured the Xiongnu royal court in one fell swoop, basically occupying one-third of Shan Yu's territory. This was a considerable fortune, and His Majesty's commendation is certain.

Since Li Xin's failure in the last battle against Chu, his hair turned gray overnight, and he has become much more stable. He has always been careful to guard every corner, for fear that ambushes will come from the two wings.

However, along the way, he didn't see any trace of the enemy in his eyes, it seems that Mao Dun's entire army has retreated.

However, Qiang Li still had an ominous premonition.

Meng Tian continued to make a statement: "Tou Manchester City is already an abandoned son of Maodu, so how should we fight against Maodu next?"

"The Huns have always been good at guerrilla warfare. If they are good, they will advance, and if they are unfavorable, they will retreat. They will keep running away. In addition, we know the terrain of the Huns well, so it is difficult for us to take advantage."

"Besides, there is such an excellent leader as Mao Dun, our form is not optimistic."

Meng Tian stated the facts once again, Mao Dun may lead an army to kill him at any time, and his living main force is still pure.

Moreover, with the submission of the five kingdoms in the north, the strength of the Xiongnu soldiers has greatly increased. I am afraid that there are also [-] soldiers fighting against the Qin army.

An army of [-] is not easy to destroy!
Li Xin looked solemn and said doubtfully: "Judging from the information of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, although Modu abandoned Touman City, they seem to have a new city near the northern border, which seems to be called Dragon City."

Meng Tian's complexion changed for a while, and he exclaimed, "Dragon City?"

Li You and Qiang Yan looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.

Unexpectedly, Mao Dun secretly built a city in his own territory and named it Dragon City.

Chen Ping didn't report this news in the previous information, could it be that it was newly built by Mouton?

That is to say, Dragon City is the new Shan Yu Wang City?

Meng Tian's face changed in an uproar, and cold sweat appeared on his face.

In other words, the army galloped this time, and did not occupy the court of the Huns, but only occupied the abandoned royal city?

Dragon City!

Meng Tian took a picture of the bronze case and said slowly: "Since Mao Dun has transferred the royal court to Dragon City in the north, our next target is Dragon City!"

The other three people nodded their heads heavily. They thought that the Xiongnu would be wiped out if they occupied the King's Court of the Huns.

I thought I had wiped out the Xiongnu, but I didn't expect that the dream was empty, it was a lonely shadow, it was a happy life, and there were some encounters in the dream!
However, the new royal city pointed out the direction for the army. This time they will definitely be able to annihilate the main force of the Huns in one fell swoop.

The Xiongnu were expelled from the Hetao area of ​​the Yellow River, and Mao Dun led an army to rush into Longcheng and establish a new royal court, which is roughly located near Heshuo Qaidam Lake on the west side of the Orkhon River in Mongolia today.

With the nourishment of the internal natural lake, the shepherds can graze here and live a free and easy life, but it is not what Qin Jun wants to see.

Specific information still needs to be sent out to investigate.

At present, it seems that the Modun army may lay an ambush on the road to Dragon City, waiting for us to attack there.

Meng Tian said to everyone: "Since Maodun has transferred the royal court, there is no need for us to stay. When the food and grass from the front line arrive, the soldiers will eat and drink enough, and then march towards Longcheng."

All the soldiers nodded frequently. Touman City was useless. If they defended to death, the Xiongnu would take the opportunity to go south to harass the Qin army, or secretly accumulate strength to fight against the Qin army.

The Qin army cannot sit still and wait for death.

But Touman City can be used as a new granary rescue station to provide the Qin army with a steady stream of food and supplies.

Meng Tian continued: "The 15 troops are divided into four directions, and the plan to encircle and suppress Longcheng may not be implemented."

"Modun is likely to be ready to ambush on the way. According to the little Jiujiu in his heart, Maodun must attack the Qin army's divisions and break them one by one."

"Therefore it is necessary for us to reallocate the 15 troops."

Li You and the three stood up suddenly, and said righteously: "General, we all follow your orders, please give orders to the general."

After the discussion between the three men, the Qin army decided that Li Xin would guard Touman City and command Han Xin and Zhang Han's army of prisoners to prevent the enemy from sneaking up from behind, attacking our important granary, and repeating the same mistakes as last time.

Li You and the Qiang soldiers divided into two armies, attacking from the left and right flanks respectively, making preparations to fight the Xiongnu, while Meng Tian led [-] elite troops thousands of miles away to surprise the Dragon City Royal Court.

The Royal Court of Dragon City in Maodun must be empty now, and he is also betting that the Qin army will not dare to attack rashly, betting that the Qin army will not dare to attack Dragon City, so the main force of Maodun must be waiting outside the Great Wall for the arrival of the Qin army.

The two armies of Li You and Qiang Yan attracted Mao Dun's attention, and then Meng Tian could lead a large army to attack the royal court and tamper with the Xiongnu's lair in one fell swoop.

When Meng Tian was making his final statement, Qiang Yan's face turned cold, he looked up, and with a whoosh sound, a cold arrow was shot out, just hitting the case in front of Meng Tian.

Meng Tian shouted loudly: "Bold! There are assassins."
