I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

Fan Yuqi had no expression on his face, he couldn't see what was going on in his heart at all, but kept nodding to the excited Touman.

"It is said that the generals of the Great Qin Dynasty are invincible, hahaha, in Ben Shanyu's opinion, they are nothing more than that, they are just softies."

"Don't dare to go out of the city to fight Ben Shanyu, and hide in the city, what kind of warriors are you?"

"General Fan, when Ben Shanyu goes south and captures Taiyuan County, I will make you the governor of Taiyuan County."

Fan Yuqi: "..."

Touman Shanyu is almost forty years old this year, and his son Modun is also in his twenties, but his son is ambitious and wants to steal his father's Shanyu position, so Touman sent him to the powerful Yue The country is a hostage.

After this time, the Huns will be rich.

And his Shanyu position will be more stable.

At this moment, Touman Chanyu is full of ambitions. He wants to unify the grassland, establish an extremely powerful grassland regime, and compete for hegemony with the countries in the Central Plains.

"Leader Shan Yu, some cavalry rushed out from the west of the army and headed south."

Fan Yuqi was startled suddenly, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and kill them, we can't let them inform the Great Qin garrison at the Yanmen Pass of our going south."

Touman Shanyu laughed and said: "General Fan, don't get excited, it's just a few cavalry, the horses in the Central Plains can't outrun the horses in the grassland."

"Haha, even if the Qin army at the Yanmen Pass knew about it, the longbows of the prairie warriors are already hungry and thirsty."

"Hahaha……"

The surrounding Huns also laughed along with Chief Shanyu, whistled and savagely waved various weapons in their hands.

"General Fan, look, we grassland warriors are not afraid of them."

Fan Yuqi sighed, damn Touman, if you don't listen to me, you will suffer a lot, if it's not for revenge, I wouldn't bother to control you.

He fought for Yingzheng for half of his life, but in the end, Yingzheng turned down his three clans, all his relatives were killed, and he felt uneasy if he didn't avenge his revenge.

"Shan Yu, don't be careless. The Yanmen Pass is the only passage leading to Taiyuan County. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once the Qin army is prepared, we will suffer heavy casualties."

Touman Chanyu pondered for a while, and then shouted to the warriors beside him: "Warriors of the grassland, go, hunt down those Qin people, and offer their heads to Ben Chanyu."

"Hoohoho..."

Dozens of Xiongnu soldiers riding tall horses rushed out, heading in the direction of several rangers from Zhao.

It was already very late, and because of the heavy snow, it was very difficult for the army to move. Touman Shanyu and Fan Yuqi had to set up camp fifty miles south of Shanwu City, and wait for dawn before marching south to rob Shuo County.

The geographical location of Shuo County is very important. It is the only place to go north to Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, and it is also the only place to go south to Yanmen Pass and Taiyuan County.

Therefore, Shuo County is much more prosperous than other towns in the north. Businessmen rest here, which drives the economic development here.

……

In the vast expanse of snow, four people and eight horses rushed south along the road, followed by a dozen horses and dozens of Hun cavalry not far behind, chasing them all the way.

"Brother, the Huns are catching up."

"Don't worry about them, change horses and continue running!"

Several rangers quickly changed horses and continued to run.

"boom!"

A horse slipped and fell directly to the ground. The ranger on the horse flew out and hit the ground hard. After climbing for a long time, he still couldn't get up.

"Shut up!"

The other three rangers immediately reined in their horses, feeling anxious that the Huns were about to catch up, but one of them fell down.

"Brother, don't worry about Xiaoyu, run away!"

"Xiao Yu, get up, get on your horse..." the middle-aged swordsman shouted anxiously.

But Xiaoyu really couldn't get up, and broke his leg, and his ribs seemed to be broken, and there was a burning pain in his chest.

The three of them dismounted quickly and checked Xiao Yu's injuries, but the Xiongnu soldiers were getting closer and closer, and the middle-aged swordsman finally made a final decision.

"Help Xiaoyu get on the horse, let Xiaoyu report the letter."

"Brothers, it's time for us to kill the Huns."

The eyes of the two showed determination, and they nodded heavily. The middle-aged swordsman picked up Xiaoyu, tied Xiaoyu to the horse's back, and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely. The horse neighed and ran forward.

Xiaoyu's eyes were red, tears were streaming down her face, she turned her head to see that the three elder brothers had mounted their horses, drew their long swords, and prepared to buy him time to escape.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother..."

"I will avenge you, I swear, I will kill all the Huns!"

The three of them turned around and glanced at Xiaoyu who had disappeared from sight, and the middle-aged swordsman shouted, "Xiaoyu, kill a few more Huns for the brothers."

"Brothers, kill the enemy..."

The three hit their horses, but rushed towards the dozen or so Huns who were rushing towards them.

It's just that the Huns don't talk about martial arts, and before the three of them rushed to the Huns, one of them was pierced in the chest by an arrow feather and fell off his horse.

As for the middle-aged swordsman, his riding skills are still good, he dodged the arrow feathers, rushed to the side of the Xiongnu soldiers, swung his long sword, and cut off a Hun's arm with one sword.

The two sides immediately fought at close range.

But there were ten Huns, and there were only two of them. After a fierce battle, the middle-aged swordsman was shot through the chest by an arrow from the Huns cavalry and fell off his horse.

The other was surrounded by four or five Hun cavalry and shot to death with random arrows.

"Cut off their heads, dedicate them to the leader Shan Yu, and receive rewards."

The middle-aged swordsman, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, watched the two brothers fall to the ground, already out of breath, gritted their teeth, and trembled all over.

"The Huns of the dog days, I will be a good man again in 18 years, and I will kill the Huns in my next life."

Four of the ten Hun cavalrymen were also killed, but when they got off their horses and cut off their heads, the middle-aged swordsman used his last bit of strength to bite through the esophagus tube of the Hun soldier. The Hun soldier held his hands in horror. His own bleeding neck died unexpectedly.

This scene almost pissed off the few remaining Huns cavalry.

Ten people actually killed five warriors, and only killed three Central Plains people.

They ruthlessly cut off the heads of the three rangers, and continued to ride their horses all the way south, but when they were about to catch up with Xiaoyu, they met Qin Jun's scouts.

Five Xiongnu soldiers were hacked to death by Daqin's scouts in an instant, and Xiaoyu was saved by the way.

After dawn, the scouts immediately sent the news from Xiao Yu to the Yanmen Pass, and at the same time told the defender about the encounter with the Huns cavalry.

The guard stationed at the Yanmen pass is called Yingmeng. He is a royal nobleman of the Qin State, so he guards this important pass.

After hearing this incident, they were shocked. The Huns had already arrived in the south of Yanmen County, only a few hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass.

He knew that with the [-] Qin soldiers under his command alone, he could only guard the pass and dare not go out to rescue Yanmen County in the north.

So I immediately wrote two [-]-mile urgent documents, one to Xianyang and one to Wang Jian in Shangdang County, asking Wang Jian to send troops north immediately to rescue Yanmen County.

Chapter 75

"Quickly, order the three armies to guard the Yanmen pass!"

After Yingmeng issued two [-]-mile expedited routes, he immediately ordered the three armies to guard the Yanmen pass.

People are in the gate, and the gate must be guarded when people are dead.

According to the intelligence of the ranger in Zhao, the Huns dispatched about [-] to [-] troops this time, all of which were one man and two cavalry, but Yingmeng knew that the Huns might have cavalry coming later.

According to the intelligence of the Daqin military, since the Huns were defeated by Li Mu, they fled to the north of Yinshan Mountain and recuperated for decades. Now they are quite powerful and good at riding and shooting. The Huns have hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

This time the Huns saw that the countries in the Central Plains had entered a stalemate, and the Qin and Zhao countries could not spare them to deal with them, so they invaded southward even more brazenly.

Now Yingmeng dare not take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu. He has only [-] infantry, and he can only rely on the geographical advantage of the Yanmen Pass to wait for work.

Once the Yanmen Pass is lost, the entire Great Qin will be in crisis, the Huns cavalry will go directly south, and the entire Taiyuan County will become a racetrack for the Huns.

Wang Jian, who was stationed in Shangdang County, did not dare to rescue Taiyuan County at all, because once Wang Jian retreated to rescue Taiyuan County, Li Mu would immediately attack Daqin Shangdang, and even broke into the pass with all his strength.

Great Qin is in danger!

Therefore, Yingmeng can only stick to Yanmen County.

after one day.

The [-]-mile journey from Yanmen Pass was expedited, and it was finally sent to the eldest son city of Shangdang County.

Wang Jian did not speak for a long time after receiving the urgent request from Babaili.

Looking at the above content, his face became more and more ugly, and his heart was really overwhelmed. The damn Huns actually went south to attack Qin at this time.

At this moment, he is really in a dilemma. Once the troops are divided to rescue Yanmen, Zhao Guo Li Mu will immediately attack him in Shangdang County.

Without absolute strength, he didn't have enough confidence to fight against Li Mu.

No matter how many troops are sent to rescue Yanmen, once the Yanmen pass is breached by the Huns, not to mention the entire Taiyuan County will suffer, even for his Shangdang garrison, he will face the situation of front and back attacks.

"General, what's the matter?"

Seeing Wang Jian's ugly face, Li Xin who was beside him didn't know what happened, so he asked curiously.

Li Xin followed Wang Jian as the deputy general this time, which was specially arranged by Ying Zheng to train a group of young generals.

People like Meng Ao, Wang Jian and others are old, and the great Qin has a long way to go to unify the six countries, and it is necessary to train successors.

As for Li Xin, Ying Zheng was very optimistic about him.

Wang Jian said indifferently: "The Xiongnu cavalry suddenly went south, swept Yanmen County, and continued to come towards Yanmen Pass. I am afraid they will attack Yanmen Pass and want to enter Taiyuan County."

Li Xin was shocked. He never expected that the Huns would suddenly go south and attack Yanmen Pass, which caught Daqin by surprise.

"General, there are only [-] garrisons at Yanmen Pass, and the garrison in Taiyuan County is far away at Jingxing Fortress in Taihang. Only we have the ability to rescue Yanmen Pass."

Wang Jian glanced at Li Xin indifferently, held the bamboo slips, pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision.

He turned around abruptly and said, "Li Xin, I will give you [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. Do you dare to stop the Huns cavalry?"

Li Xinxin was overjoyed that he could finally lead the army alone, and made great achievements in killing the enemy. He clasped his fists happily and said, "The general will only give a certain five thousand cavalry, and don't kill the Huns. I will come to see you."

Wang Jian frowned. He was young and energetic, and it was good to be energetic, but he never dared to be greedy for merit.

"Li Xin, the Huns are fierce and good at riding and shooting. Don't be careless. Take ten thousand infantry with you."

"Remember, you can only defend, you can't take the initiative to attack, wait for Zhang Shangqing to go north to reach the Yanmen pass, and obey Zhang Shangqing's command."

"This battle is related to the fate of the Great Qin, so don't mess around!"

Li Xin didn't care about it at first, he was not afraid of anyone, not to mention the Huns soldiers, but he still listened to Zhang He's command, why?

But he knew that the importance of this battle was the battle of the fate of the Great Qin, and he could only obey Wang Jian's orders.

"Please don't worry, old general, I know the seriousness."

That night, when the army changed defenses, Wang Jian and Li Xin took advantage of the darkness to select [-] elite troops and let Li Xin lead them out overnight, fearing that Li Mu would find out that they were taking advantage of the loopholes.

After Li Xin left, Wang Jian immediately ordered the Qin army on the border to strictly guard against it, and absolutely not give Zhao the opportunity to take advantage of it.

"But there's news about Zhang Shangqing. It's been two days, and it hasn't arrived yet?" Wang Jian frowned and asked the guards beside him.

"General, according to the schedule, even if you march quickly, it will take four days to pass through Taihangxing and reach Shangdang."

Wang Jian was anxious and paced back and forth in the room without sleeping all night.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he said to his personal guard: "Go and rush the eight hundred miles to Zhang Shangqing, so that he can go north as soon as possible no matter what."

The personal guard hurried out of the city with [-] li and headed for Taihangxing in the south.

At this time, Zhang He set off from Luoyang and crossed the Yellow River to the north. It took him two days to reach Shangdang territory.

While resting at the Shangdang post station, I learned about the Huns going south to Yanmen from the scouts from Yanmen.

Therefore, he drove non-stop overnight, and finally arrived at the eldest son city of Shangdang County.

"Quickly open the door, someone is Daqin Shangqing Shaoshang made Zhang He."

The defenders on the city had already received Wang Jian's military order. Once Zhang Shangqing arrived at the eldest son, he would immediately open the door and take him to the general's mansion.

The soldiers guarding the city immediately opened the city gate, and welcomed Zhang He and a dozen other frozen people in.

Riding a war horse on the road, and there is no better clothing to keep out the cold in this era, so they can only be wrapped in animal fur.

Zhang He rode his war horse in the snow all day and all night, and when he dismounted, he could no longer walk.

When Wang Jian heard that Zhang He was coming, he hurried to see Zhang He.

"Zhang Shangqing!"
