Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 245 Assassin
Meng Tian let out a cry of alarm, and the left and right soldiers poured into the camp of the Chinese army. Several Xiongnu soldiers also jumped down from the hidden beams and aimed their short bows at Meng Tian and other generals.

There were about five of these assassins, and it seemed that they were ready to die. Their short bows had almost no counterattack power against the large bronze shield of the Qin army.

The assassin was quickly captured, and faced with the torture of the Qin army, he still did not say a word, and some even bit their tongues and killed themselves.

Meng Tian's face was tense, and this time he walked through the gate of hell again.

However, this time there was no danger.

Although they heard all this, they still didn't pass on the news, otherwise this plan would be ruined.

Little did they know that a flying pigeon had already flown out of Manchester City, heading for Xufengkou Fortress.

The fortress of Xufengkou is the front line of defense for the court of the Huns, and Maodun is stationed here, leading the soldiers to make the next plan.

A flying pigeon landed in the hands of Mao Dun. With an indelible smile on his face, Mao Dun quietly opened a letter. On the envelope was written a careful Qin army plan: Meng Tian was the main force to surprise the Chinese army camp, While Li You and Qiang Yan suppressed from the left and right, Li Xin was responsible for leading the prisoner army to guard Touman City, which was used as a food and grass supply station.

Mao Dun let out a hearty laugh, this time they arranged a few spies in the royal court to send messages by flying pigeons.

Qin Jun will definitely discuss the next plan in the camp of the Chinese army, and the detailed work will be responsible for recording it and passing it on to Maodun.

Knowing Qin Jun's plan, you can follow suit!
Since the main force led by Meng Tian is going to attack Dragon City thousands of miles away, then set up an ambush in Dragon City, give Meng Tian the illusion that Dragon City is an empty city to confuse him, let him take the bait, and then wipe out the main force.

As for the left and right wings, they were handed over to the armies of the five northern countries. The two armies each had [-] cavalry, which was enough to deal with the Qin army.

A few days ago, Maodun also held a military meeting to discuss the Qin army's movements. It was originally planned that the Qin army would divide into multiple groups to attack Longcheng, and then they could attack them one by one. Use Mingxiu plank road to darken Chencang's strategy.

If you don't know Mengtian's plan, you may be deceived, and then Longcheng will be lost. There are 30 cattle and sheep there, and there are hundreds of thousands of horses. Once captured by the Qin army, the loss will be heavy.

A sinister smile appeared on Mao Dun's face, and he slowly said: "Since Meng Tian is doing the opposite, then I will treat him in the same way!"

Immediately, Mao Dun issued a military order. The [-] troops were divided into two groups, one to attack Touman City and burn the Qin army's granaries, and the other to enter Longcheng and set up an ambush to lure the main force led by Meng Tian to attack and kill them. Encircled and suppressed in Dragon City.

The next day, Meng Tian led [-] elite cavalry, while Li You and Qiang Yan each led [-] troops to rush to the king's city in two ways.

The gate of Touman city opened slowly, and 15 troops came out of the city to meet the enemy. Meng Tian raised his arms and shouted: "This time we must carry the head of Maodun to serve the motherland, avenge the dead soldiers, let the triumphant song of victory Blow it in Xianyang, the imperial capital!"

The soldiers of the three armies nodded slightly, all of them looked solemn. Obviously, this was probably the last decisive battle between Qin and the Xiongnu. If the main force of the Xiongnu was wiped out in the first battle, this mission would be considered complete.

In the last battle, the food and grass attacked by Maodun took advantage of it. In the end, the soldiers of the three armies had no food and had to go back hastily. But this time, General Meng Tian's plan is thorough, and the Qin army will surely return victorious!

The army led by Li You and Qiang Yan bid farewell ten miles outside Touman City, and the troops were divided into two groups to gradually erode the Xiongnu's land.

The [-] troops led by Li You advanced from the west, bypassed the vast river, and penetrated into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, while Qiang Yan led the army across the Helan Mountains, advanced into the Huns' land, and gradually eroded the Xiongnu's land.

This time was different from usual. The number of cattle, sheep, and shepherds in the Huns increased significantly, much higher than that of the Huns in the south, and they were also harassed by a force of [-] cavalry.

When the two armies rushed into battle, the morale of the Qin army was high, and the Xiongnu did not fall behind. What's more, the soldiers of the Huns were a nation on horseback, and their combat effectiveness was strong.

But in the face of the numerical advantage of the Qin army, the Xiongnu soldiers were still invincible, and they were quickly defeated. As soon as the main general died, the Huns soldiers fled in embarrassment.

However, Li You's face was extremely solemn. After all, this army is just a miscellaneous army, and its combat effectiveness is so strong. If it meets the main force of the Huns, it will suffer heavy losses.

The Qin army actually lost [-] of its [-] cavalry, which was a one-for-one exchange with the Xiongnu. If the Xiongnu soldiers were really determined to fight against Qin, wouldn't it mean that the Qin army would have to suffer total losses before they could wipe out the main force of the Xiongnu.

But Li You was still relieved. The reason why the Xiongnu soldiers were strong and difficult to fight was because Mao Dun burned the granary a few months ago and forced the Qin army to retreat for a while.

This made the Xiongnu soldiers firm in their thinking of fighting against the Qin army, and Maodun even added fuel and jealousy, saying that the Qin army was not invincible, and the combat effectiveness of the Huns soldiers would soar.

However, General Meng Tian's surprise attack strategy will soon come to fruition.Once the King's Court of the Huns falls, the Huns will surrender to the Qin army as before.

Three days after this miscellaneous army was defeated, Li You hardly encountered any resistance, which made Li You a little worried. Could it be that the soldiers of the Huns had seen through the trick and went to attack General Meng Tian?

Thinking of this, Li You became more and more uneasy, and ordered the army to advance urgently, trying to reach the Dragon City of the King's Court of the Huns quickly, attracting Maodun's attention.

If Mao Dun and Meng Tian fight, then they will be the main force to attack Dragon City!
After receiving the military order, the soldiers of the three armies quickened their pace, changing from one rest per day to one rest every two days, and the military rations were collected directly when they arrived.

Li You's sudden acceleration did attract Mao Dun's attention, but Mao Dun had already discovered Qin's plan and sent troops from the five northern countries to harass him.

Finally, Li You met the [-] cavalry from the five northern kingdoms, which made Li You smile. It seemed that Mo Dun was still attracted by them. He could only hope that Meng Tian would not be found, and the Lightning The strategy of surprise attack can be implemented!

But the people of the five northern kingdoms spoke a different language than the Huns, which made Li You start to doubt whether this army was the Huns army. When the two armies fought, this army was not as fierce as the Huns soldiers.

Especially when their longbows were aimed at the Qin army, they were defended by hard armor, which made the troops of the five northern countries dumbfounded and their faces were full of shock.

Although Li Youjun had gone through a long raid, they still maintained a strong fighting force. They were quickly defeated by the Qin army. Watching the five-nation army flee, Li You frowned and scolded: "Oh no! That's not the main force of the Huns The main force may have gone to General Qiang Li!"
