Chapter 6 Han Xin's Cunning

Chapter 6 Han Xin’s ‘Cunning’

On the Haohan Grassland north of Yuyang, a black-armored light cavalry came overwhelmed by the sky, like a huge dragon, and the word "Qin" on the flag floating in the wind was in sight!

The shiny weapons and armor, the stern and solemn military appearance and morale all declare that this is a war-going force!

Han Xin marched in the middle of the team, turned around and looked at the Great Wall that was gradually disappearing behind him, and silently clenched his fists: "I will win this game!"

Although it was the first time Han Xin himself commanded such a large-scale cavalry, his natural confidence in genius made him feel no fear. The Qin soldiers, who were blindly convinced that under the command of General Han, could not defeat the small barbarians! Therefore, the current Qin army is very motivated and all have the confidence to win!

Han Xin silently looked at the elite in front of him that he had spent more than a year to forge his hard work, and remembered the handwritten letter from Fusu that he urgently sent from Xianyang before going to war:

"Xiner: It is a feat that my descendants of Yan and Huang have not carried out for thousands of years. I don't need to explain the great symbolic significance and military significance of this battle. I believe you understand it too, so you must win this battle!

However, this grassland cavalry war is different from domestic battles: this is the enemy's territory, with endless grasslands everywhere, and the enemy may appear everywhere; here, our Qin army is no longer familiar with geography, nor can we get help from the people, and even the logistics are at risk of being cut off at any time. Therefore, in this dangerous place full of hostility and death, we can only rely on our strong will and excellent tactics to win. I hope you will not be careless!

Since this is an external war, and it is different from an internal war, you do not need to have any burden or any concern. Just be bold and innovative, and use various new tactics. We will strive to find a suitable cavalry tactic for our Qin State. You can make the decision freely during wars, and I will never interfere with you, but you must remember that in addition to winning, you must also do these three points:

1. Since this is a war against foreign races, there is no need to pay attention to any kindness. Wherever they pass, there is no need to capture or live. Whether it is the Huns' army or the people, they will be killed to weaken the already small population of the Huns' power to fight again!

2. Sun Tzu's Art of War says: A wise general is a wise general to eat from the enemy! You know the difficulty of transporting grain to the front line in China. If you take one stone of grain from the enemy, you can save twenty stones of grain from the domestic people. Therefore, I hope that you can take it from the enemy to the greatest extent, use war to support the war, and do not rely too much on logistics!

3. There are many old Donghu people in the left tribe of the Xiongnu. These people hate the Xiongnu and the Donghu people, so they can use it. When killing prisoners, they can separate the Xiongnu and the Donghu people: the Xiongnu dies and the Donghu people live! This will make the Xiongnu and the Donghu people disbelief, kill each other, and may even surrender to our army! The enemy will lose our strength, and it will be of great benefit!

Remember these three points! I am looking forward to your good news in Xianyang!"

Thinking of this, Han Xin clenched his fists secretly and sweared: "Father, don't worry, I, Han Xin, will never be able to defeat a battle in my life! Isn't Xiang Yu the world bravest? Isn't it still dead under my 'embrella and ambush on all sides'! Look, I want those hateful Huns to be scared to hear my name!" Suddenly, Han Xin shouted: "Come, I will pass on my general order, and the three armies will accelerate immediately. Today we will arrive at Wuzhuoxi, a tributary of Rushui, to camp!" "Yes!" A messenger responded, and the Pegasus sent the order.

In an instant, the 100,000 Qin troops rushed towards Wuzhuoxi!

...

Six days later, 100,000 Qin cavalry advanced 800 miles north and reached the northernmost end of Rushui. Then forward was the endless Gobi desert, which separated the southern and northern deserts. That night, Han Xin summoned the generals to discuss matters. The participants had four generals and ten commanders, Wu Rui, Cao Shen, Wei Yuan and others were all present!

Han Xin pointed to the sand table and said, "Generals, our Qin army has now advanced to the northernmost end of Rushui, and further forward is an endless desert. According to the information provided by Your Majesty and the investigation report from the rebels, the main forces of the Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu and the Zuo Guli King were hiding around the dark cloud sea in the north of the desert. Their intention was to wait for our army to cross the desert thousands of miles and wait for us to fight with us! The various tribes of the Xiongnu fled far away and came to a solid wall to clear the fields of our army! Faced with such deployment from the Xiongnu left, what do the generals think?"

The generals also looked at the sand table carefully, and soon, they all looked solemn. Cao Shen said angrily: "General, the Huns are really cunning. Our army will have to travel at least six or seven days in this hundreds of miles of desert. Not only will it be exhausted, but it will fight the main force of the left side of the Huns as soon as it leaves the desert. That's not only that it will lose nine out of ten battles! The last general thinks that he can take a detour?"

At this time, Kelie Baozong stood up. He was the leader of the tens of thousands of Donghu people retreating into the Qin State and a famous brave general among the Donghu people. Therefore, in order to appease the Donghu people, Fusu named Kelie Baozong the major general of Qin State and commanded 30,000 Donghu cavalry, which was extremely honored. Kelie Baozong was also loyal to Qin State. Over the past year, he not only tried to appease the people and adapt to the new residence and laws, but also trained Han Xin to a Qin army elite cavalry that could compete with the Huns, which was highly valued by Han Xin!

Krei Baozong shook his head and said in a somewhat stiff Qin language: "General Cao, it is even more inappropriate to detour! General and all the generals, please see. To bypass this sea of ​​sand and go west, you have to detour a thousand miles. I am afraid that before our army reaches the north of the desert, we will exhaust our food and die if we can go east, even if we can cross the Liao River and advance to the sea of ​​dark clouds, the distance is probably no less than eight hundred miles. When our army completes a long journey to the sea of ​​dark clouds, it will be a great disaster to face the Xiongnu army that is waiting for labor!"

Wu Rui smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Although he knew that the future was difficult, he couldn't retreat because of the difficulties! If this were the case, how could he have the face to meet the elders of his hometown, and even more so without the face to face Your Majesty!" The generals also nodded, all thinking that Qin State had launched the first Northern Expedition. If he returned without success, wouldn't he be ashamed to kill people!

Wei Yuan grinned when he heard this, looked at Han Xin with a calm expression and said, "General, the last general has no good idea, but as long as the general's order flag is pointed, even if it is a sea of ​​swords, fire, and thousands of troops, Wei will not frown at all!" He is well-behaved!

When all the generals heard this, they looked at Han Xin and saw what good solutions could come up with this time, Han Xin, who had always been tricky in the past.

Han Xin pondered for a while and suddenly said, "The Zuoxian King of the Huns and Zuo Guli King are just ordinary people, and they are brave but not wise. It is not difficult to deal with them! All the generals, look at the sand table, and some of their deployment is like this:

With the main force of our army, about 70,000 cavalry advanced eastward along the sand sea, and pretended to cross the Liao River and head forward towards the dark clouds. Then, when we were about to reach the Liao River, we also brought enough water and dry food for four days to suddenly turn northwest overnight, forcing the sand sea, and rushing straight to the sea of ​​clouds. In this way, there are two benefits: First, the Huns will inevitably lose the trace of the main force of our army in a hurry. In panic, the Huns are likely to be mobilized and reveal flaws; Second, if so, our army will arrive in Wu.

The journey of the sea of ​​clouds is from here to the 400-mile grassland of Liaoshui and the 200-mile desert from the Liaoshui to the sea of ​​dark clouds. This is closer than going to the sea of ​​dark clouds through the Liaoshui River, and saving energy than forcing the 400-mile desert directly from here. What is more important is that if the Huns cannot understand the actual movements of our main force within three days, our army can go out of the sea of ​​sand and appear on the sea of ​​dark clouds like a sudden descending sky. If the Huns catch the Huns off guard, it may be a surprise weapon!

In addition, in order to ensure the completeness, I also prepared to launch a surprise soldier, which is 30,000 cavalry, each equipped with two horses, and brought enough water and dry food for seven days to the north to the sea of ​​sand. Taking advantage of the opportunity when our main force of our army attracted the attention of the Huns, the back of the main force of the Huns was to catch the dark clouds. However, in order not to let the Huns notice this surprise, the surprise soldier will set off overnight, and all the logistics supplies of our army will follow the main force to supply to the edge of the Liao River. This surprise soldier will not track and supply the surprise soldier. In other words, this surprise soldier will be a dead soldier who has no supply and no retreat, and will die if he cannot win! Although the risk is very high, if successful, this surprise soldier will form a front-and-back attack with the main force of our army on the Huns, and completely defeat the left arm of the Huns with a thunderous attack!

This general has calculated that 400 miles of sand sea and 30,000 soldiers will have to travel for about six days, and there should be no big problem with bringing enough dry food and water for seven days. If you have to take too many, the war horses cannot stand it, and the soldiers can no longer bring any heavy weapons. The main force of our army will take about six to seven days to walk the 400-mile grassland and 200-mile sand sea. Four days of water and dry food are enough to ensure that they cross the 200-mile sand sea, so basically, they can guarantee that they will meet at the same time. But in order to ensure the smooth progress of the joint attack, this general stipulates that he will die here: at the third pm on the seventh day, the main force and the surprise soldiers must calculate the time and make a secret preparation. They cannot arrive at the battlefield too early to avoid being reprimanded by the Huns!

However, military situations are unpredictable, and anything can happen:

If any army arrives first and the other army has not arrived, the army that arrives first must launch a fierce attack on the enemy with a decisive force: it is best to defeat the enemy, otherwise even if all fights, it will seriously damage the main force of the left Xiongnu army and create a precedent for the latter army to annihilate the enemy! Of course, no army will be allowed to retreat with fear, because this battle is only allowed to win but not defeat, and only advance but not retreat!

Of course, if both armies could arrive at the battlefield on time, even if my main force was discovered and surrounded by the Huns, the "demon sword" that the enemy could never dream of was able to kill the left side of the Huns!

What do you think of this plan for you?"

All the generals were gasping for breath: "It's cruel and poisonous, and it feels like a fight against the enemy and killing me! However, this is also the only way for our army to win at present, but no matter how we think about it, it feels too risky, especially this surprise soldier is simply trying to fight for his life, and there is no way out for retreat except to win. Of course, the main force is not much better. If he fails, he will probably pay a huge price to return to the south of Liaoshui to receive supplies!" For a moment, the generals did not dare to speak, and were thinking silently!

In fact, although Han Xin devoted himself to taking risks throughout his life, he was invincible. Because Han Xin had carefully calculated and considered before his plan, he would have at least 90% of his confidence to act. He was definitely not a hot-headed and arrogant person! Therefore, he was famous for his invincible battle in the history of war!

After a long time, Wei Yuan stood up and said bravely: "General, if you trust the last general, let this surprise soldier be in command in the future! Anyway, the last general is from a soldier, and he is satisfied to have his current status. Even if he fails, there will be no loss! Please allow the general!"

Han Xin laughed when he heard this: "General Wei is really good, but he puts his subordinates to death, but Han is safe and secure. This is not my style of Han Xin. Therefore, this strange army is willing to lead the general Wei together, but the main force requires Zhang's military flag to confuse the enemy!" The generals were shocked and said to himself: "General is simply trying to kill himself!"

At this time, suddenly, Dike Lie Baozong stood up and said, "Since the general is willing to go to danger with his own power to defeat the Huns, then our Donghu clan and the Huns are as deep as the sea, and there are no cowards who are timid in the battle. The last general is willing to go with the general!"

"Okay!" Han Xin slapped the table and said passionately: "Then this surprise soldier is led by a certain general of Wei and General Kelie Baozong, and will select 10,000 Qin cavalry and 20,000 Donghu cavalry, and the rest will be the main force. Cao Shen, the main force is commanded by you, and you will go straight to the sea of ​​clouds. Do you dare to take such a heavy responsibility?" Seeing that Wei Yuan and Kelie Baozong were both brave, Cao Shen seemed a little timid, and couldn't help but feel ashamed to the heart, and said passionately: "Don't worry, General, Cao Shen will do his best to lead the army to the sea of ​​clouds on time!"

"Okay!" Han Xin said with confidence on his resolute face: "This battle is not only the first battle of our Qin army taking the initiative to attack the north, but also the first battle of our China taking the initiative to attack the north, so we must win! I also believe that we will definitely win! Dear generals, please overcome all difficulties and arrive on time!" "Yes!" The generals shouted with great enthusiasm, their blood was boiling, their eyes were red, and they wanted to fight to the death with the Huns!

That night, the Qin army divided its troops and left their destinations! From then on, Han Xin, the most outstanding war genius in the history of the Chinese war, began to show his "shocked ghosts and gods" military talent in the foreign grasslands!

Late at night on the seventh day, the camp of the left army of the Huns by the sea of ​​dark clouds.

At that time, the entire military camp was quiet, and most of the Hun soldiers had fallen asleep. Only a small number of patrol and alert soldiers were standing by their posts. The huge camp was lighted for a while, and they were extremely lonely!

But at this time, there was a clear fire in the commander's tent, with the silence of Zuo Xianwang and the King of Zuo Guli Bu Woer lie being so anxious that he was like two donkeys pulling and turning around.

Suddenly, Panmo cried out, "Where did this hateful Qin army go? How could it disappear suddenly?" Bu Woerlie also said with a bitter face: "Ask me, who will I ask! The day before yesterday, a quick horse urgently reported that the Qin army was preparing to cross the Liao River and heading towards my dark clouds. Who knew that yesterday came to report that the Qin army had disappeared near the Liao River! No trace of the Qin army was found so far, it was so anxious!"

Banmo frowned and thought hard: "Will the Qin army have a chance to win when they see each other? They have already escaped?" Bu Woer said: "It's possible. The reward I received today said that our army's reprimand was expanding its search range near the Liaoshui River. There should be news soon!"

Banmo smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say, you know that the Qin army is all cavalry. Our army lost its whereabouts overnight. With its mobility, it might be a hundred miles away. It's not easy to capture its main force's whereabouts in time!" Suddenly, Bu Wallie remembered something and rushed to the front of the map and said, "Zuo Xianwang, do you think the Qin army will suddenly return to the army, and break into the sand sea from the Liaoshui River to the northwest, and then attack my dark clouds?"

Banmo was shocked and hurriedly checked the map. Soon, his forehead was covered with dense cold sweat, and his face turned a little pale!

In the past two days, influenced by inertial thinking, Panmo and Bu Wallie had always thought that the Qin army would go to the Liao River and pounce on the sea of ​​dark clouds, so the search scope has always been limited to the Liao River, but it has ignored the possibility that the Qin army might return to the northwest and cross the sand sea directly!

"Oh no!" Pan Mo cried out in secret: "Let me calculate it. I'll report the news of the Qin army's disappearance yesterday. In addition, I've been delayed on the road for a day. It's already been three days since the Qin army disappeared. The Liao River is only seventy or eighty miles away from the sand sea, and it can be reached in the middle of the night. Even if it's time to cross the 200 miles of sand sea, it's enough for the Qin army to have three days! Could it be that the Qin army has arrived at the sea of ​​dark clouds! "Pan Mo and Bu Wallie looked at each other and looked terrified!

Suddenly, Bu Werlei shouted, "Come, come!" Several personal soldiers immediately crashed into the commander's tent and said anxiously, "King, why are you sending?" Bu Werlei said anxiously, "Hurry, send ten cavalry large enough to 100 people immediately and search for the sand sea south and southeast. The Qin people may appear there! As soon as there is news, you will get back quickly!" "Yes, the king!" The personal soldiers were shocked and crawled with them!

Soon, in the Hun camp on the banks of the Dark Cloud Sea Lake, the sound of hooves rumbling, and ten cavalrymen of about a hundred men gathered quickly and rushed to the sand sea in the south and east!

While waiting anxiously, Panmo and Bu Wallie prayed to the Great Kunlun God to discover the traces of the Qin army as much as possible! After a while, Panmo suddenly jumped up and said, "No, you can't wait any longer. Gather the army immediately, just in case!"

Bu Woer said, "What are you doing in such a hurry? Anyway, the rebels have been sent now. If the Qin army is discovered, we should inform us immediately! Furthermore, if the Qin army does not arrive later, the soldiers will be very tired after a night of struggle. What if the Qin army is blocked in the daytime, how can we deal with the enemy with a tired army?"

Banmo said anxiously: "Now our army is very dangerous. If the enemy cavalry escapes our army's revenge and suddenly hides it, the consequences will be unimaginable! It may be impossible to get through tonight, so why are you talking about tomorrow?" Bu Woerlie was right to think about it and hurriedly said: "This statement makes sense! So gather troops quickly, just in case!"

Banmo nodded, and was about to gather troops when a sudden quarrel soldier who had just sent out rose and crawled into the ground. He was so anxious that his helmet was tilted and his leather armor was slanted, and his voice was trembling: "Report, report, report, report to King Zuo Xian, King Zuo Guli, we just went forward less than ten miles before we found countless Qin troops attacking in the dark! Now the Qin army is attacking our camp!"

"Ah!!" Banmo and Bu Woerlie were shocked and hurriedly left the tent. Sure enough, in the quiet night, the sound of thunder came faintly from the horizon to the southeast.

"Hurry up, gather troops quickly! Come and prepare horses!" Banmo and Bu Woer neighed and secretly rejoiced: "It's almost timely to wake up, otherwise the Qin army will arrive overnight and the situation will be in danger!"

Quickly, the sound of the trumpet of the rapid gathering of troops resounded throughout the camp. In an instant, there was chaos in the camp, and panicked Hun soldiers rushed out of the camp tent, while busy dressing and looking for a knife, running towards the horse shed!

Suddenly, a shocking shout suddenly broke out from the dark sky in the west, and then a sharp light cavalry broke out as if falling from the sky. One by one, one black-clothed black armor, like a fierce god, and rushed into the camp with a sword and a gun, and then a crazily killing.

When the Xiongnu Xiying was established, the Xiongnu Xiying was in chaos. Before he could figure out what was going on, the Xiongnu soldiers who had just rushed out of the camp were killed by the brave and decisive Qin cavalry. For a moment, 30,000 Qin cavalry were out of the way, killing the Xiongnu soldiers who were on the verge of horses and overturned. The entire army stabbed the Xiongnu central army like an invincible arrow!

When Banmo and Bu Werlie saw this, they were stunned and lost their souls. Banmo said in shock: "Where did this Qin army come from? Could it be that they have grown wings and flew down from the sky?"

At this moment, the southeast also had hooves and shouts of killing soared into the sky. A large number of Qin soldiers came with a roar of silence and screaming at the killing generals, and soon they were killed in a group with the Hun soldiers who were in a hurry to rise in Dongying!

For a moment, the sound of killing by the sea of ​​dark clouds and lakes shook the sky. In the sword light and sword shadows, countless soldiers corpses spread across the grassland, blood stained the desert north, and the fire that soared into the sky illuminated the boundless night!

During the chaos, Bu Woerlei said to Panmo: "Zuo Xianwang, if you don't fight hard today, you will definitely be defeated. The Great Shanyu will not spare us two defeated generals! Let's fight with the Qin army!" Panmo also gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you go and block the Qin army in the west, and I will deal with the Qin army in the southeast!" The two of them immediately got on their horses, led one army each, and bravely fought against the Qin army!

Han Xin, Wei Yuan and Kelie Baozong led 30,000 soldiers to go through a lot of hardships and finally completed the feat of crossing the sand sea and successfully attacked the left side of the Huns. While the three of them were leading their troops, they were advancing all the way, and suddenly a team of elite Huns soldiers came towards them. They were all brave and good at fighting, fierce and terrifying. They immediately blocked the Qin army's way. The two armies were unwilling to give in, and they roared like thunder and fought hard!

During the chaos, Han Xin also rode his horse and waved his sword and fought hard to kill the enemy. Soon, his stool was stained with blood and his underwear was penetrated. After killing another attacking Hun soldier, Han Xin looked at the war in all directions, and was immediately anxious: the Qin army's surprise soldier, which had been unstoppable, had been resisted by the Huns' army and stopped for a while.

Han Xin knew that after the surprise troops crossed the four hundred miles of sand sea, they consumed a lot of physical strength. If they could not fight quickly, even if they could win in the end, the price would be too heavy. Zhengxin was like a frying oil, and suddenly came up with a plan and immediately shouted: "The soldiers of the Donghu clan, together with this general, shouted, 'We are the Donghu army in the Qin army, the Donghu people do not kill the Donghu people', and the Donghu people only kill the Xiongnu people'!"

In an instant, the 20,000 Qin Donghu clan army, who were fighting with the Huns, woke up and shouted loudly: "We are the Donghu army in the Qin army. The Donghu people do not kill the Donghu people! The Donghu people only kill the Huns! Brothers of the Donghu, we are here to save you, and kill the Huns with us!..." As soon as Han Xin opened his head, the 20,000 Donghu soldiers in the Qin army immediately called their master and shouted loudly to the Huns on the opposite side!

The left arm of the Xiongnu had originally many Donghu soldiers and civilians. At this time, the Donghu had just been destroyed for two years, and the people's hearts were scattered. When they heard that there were so many Donghu brothers in the Qin army, and the slogans were tempting, soon, many Donghu people in the Xiongnu army either resisted passively or simply turned against the water. When they turned around, they shouted, "I am also a Donghu people. The Donghu people only killed the Xiongnu people" and attacked the Xiongnu army fiercely!

When the time was established, the Xiongnu Xiying was in chaos. The Xiongnu army not only had to face the fierce and decisive Qin army, but also the internal rebellion. The fleeing Donghu army immediately couldn't bear it and the defense line was retreating step by step. It was impossible to resist it if you saw it!

Suddenly, a black-armored Qin general waved the huge steel scimitar in his hand and broke into the Xiongnu army formation. The four lights flashed, and the Xiongnu soldiers fell off their horses, and they were invincible. Then, the Qin general shouted in Donghu language while killing: "Brothers of the Donghu clan, I am Krei Baozong, you invincible warriors! The Donghu people should stop killing each other, hurry up and kill the Xiongnu dog thieves with me. Have you forgotten the deep hatred of the country's destruction??"

Kelie Baozong was famous among the Donghu people and was always respected by the Donghu people. At this time, when the Donghu people saw the heroes of their clan coming, they immediately followed the crowd. A large number of Xiongnu Donghu troops turned around, took off the Huns' robes, and armoured them with the Qin army to launch a fierce attack on the Huns' army!

For a moment, the Huns were defeated like a mountain and quickly retreated in the direction of the central army!

Looking at the bleak battle, Zuoguli King Bu Woerlie was so anxious that he almost went crazy. He waved his scimitar like crazy and tried his best to kill the retreating Xiong soldiers, shouting: "Go back to me! I'll go back soon! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!" It's a pity that the Hun soldiers were in chaos and their morale was broken. At this time, they were all just concerned about escaping themselves. Who would still be the king of Zuoguli?

Just as Bu Wallei was struggling to death, suddenly, a Qin general emerged from the riot army, rode his horse and spear, and came straight towards Bu Wallei like a thunder and lightning.

"Pu, pu, pu..." The fine steel long tassel spear danced with the sound of wind and thunder, and the sky was filled with gun shadows. The Xiongnu soldiers blocked the road were killed and fell like rain. Seeing this, the Xiongnu soldiers were shocked and left Bu Wallei and fled to their own lives!

"Ye Yuan is here, the bald barbarian chief, where are you going?" Wei Yuan screamed, and came like a fierce god! Seeing that Qin was fierce, Bu Woerlie was so fierce that he couldn't understand what he was saying, he probably wasn't a good thing. He immediately aroused his fierceness and screamed strangely, and rode his horse straight up. The scimitar drew a flashing arc under the cold moonlight, and then slashed towards Wei Yuan!

Seeing that the enemy general was tall and strong and came fiercely, Wei Yuan did not dare to stand up hard at the moment, so he shouted loudly, and the gun shadow shook, and he avoided the scimitar sideways, then raised his hand and shot Bu Woerlie to the left shoulder. "Pu" A stream of blood splashed out, causing Bu Woerlie to howl suddenly. The scimitar rushed back and took a knife to his waist, hoping to cut Wei Yuan twice!

Wei Yuan had no choice but to avoid it, and he quickly used his gun to thrust across his ear cage. With a loud "dang" sound, Wei Yuan staggered immediately and was almost wiped out by the extremely powerful Bu Wallie.

Wei Yuan was shocked and pulled out his horse and left, shouting: "The enemy generals are fierce, the army is careful!" Bu Woerlie was bleeding from his left shoulder, and was in a state of great pain. Seeing that Wei Yuan was about to leave, how could he let go, he hurriedly urged the horse to dance the sword. He snatched Wei Yuan from the chaos army and raised the scimitar and wanted to cut it down!

In the middle of life and death, Wei Yuan suddenly pulled his horse, and the horse neighed, and his front hooves rose into the air. Wei Yuan clamped the war horse with his legs and feet, and fell on the horse on his back. After avoiding Bu Werlei's fierce and extremely oblique slash, he made a beautiful return gun and penetrated through Bu Werlei's front chest and straight out of his back!

Bu Werlie looked at the long spear that was not in his chest with a look of horror and disbelief. He felt that all the strength in his chest was quickly disappearing, and his eyes became blurred. Suddenly, Wei Yuan used his right hand to pull the spear back, and "punched" the blood squirting wildly. The scimitar in Bu Werlie's hand fell to the ground with a jingle. The man shook his horse and fell down!

Wei Yuan rode his horse straight up, handed the spear to his left hand, drew his sword with his right hand, cut off Bu Werlei's head with one sword, and raised it in his hand and shouted, "Brothers, the enemy chief is dead, kill!" Seeing this, the Qin army was even more brave and felt that his energy was doubled. When the Huns saw that Bu Werlei was dead, he was even more panicked and had no intention of fighting. As one fell and the other rose, the resistance of the Xiongnu Xiying was completely collapsed immediately. A large group of Qin army soldiers and the rebel Xiongnu Donghu army rushed to the east and attacked Panmo and other troops, who were fighting with the main force of the Qin army!

Banmo was also leading the Hun Dongying Army, which had no formation, to resist Cao Shen and the two generals Wu Rui's fierce attack. Although it was very hard, they finally barely resisted the Qin army's offensive. Just as they calmed down, they heard the shouts of killing behind them. Banmo was shocked. He quickly looked back at the chaos army: He saw a large number of Xiongnu troops in the West defeated like a tide, and in an instant, they disrupted the formation of the Dongying Xiongnu troops. After them, countless Qin troops rode horses, and everyone waved their swords and guns, and tried their best to chase and kill the fleeing Xiongnu soldiers!

Banmo was shocked and his hands were cold. He knew that Bu Woer had finished his lineup. Seeing that the situation of the war had collapsed, he would be at risk of the destruction of the entire army. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Hurry, the whole army retreated north!" Immediately, a burst of rapid trumpet sounded among the Xiongnu army, which was still in chaos. The Xiongnu army was very happy as if they heard the amnesty. They stopped fighting and rushed to the north.

How could the Qin army be willing to give up? The main force and the surprise soldiers combined to form a group, leaving one to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the troops chased after him, vowing to kill all the Huns!

For a moment, in the hazy dawn of dawn, by the beautiful blue sea of ​​clouds, the Qin army and the Xiongnu army chased and fled, hiding the corpses all the way, rolling up smoke and dust, and heading straight towards the depths of the northern desert!

It was not until noon that the exhausted Qin army's main force besieged a large number of captured Xiongnu prisoners from the north to return to the shore of Wuyunhai Lake, and began to rest and calculate some losses!

Soon, the battle plan was completed: In this service, the Qin army killed more than 43,000 Xiongnu soldiers and captured more than 27,000 enemies. The surrendered Xiongnu Donghu army also had more than 17,000 people, annihilated 88,000 enemies; and the Qin army paid a considerable price, a total of 21,000 soldiers died on the battlefield, 7,000 seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, 15,000 slightly injured, and a total of more than 43,000 people. It can be said that killing 3,000 enemies and destroying themselves by 800!

The result of the battle is with Han Xin. It should be said that it is not easy for the Qin army to win such a brilliant victory under very unfavorable circumstances, but Han Xin's face was covered with a layer of frost. He killed 10,000 enemies and lost 5,000 to himself. Although such a battle was won, there was no glory in Han Xin's eyes. Angry Han Xin ordered: "Select all the prisoners from the Donghu tribe, and execute all the other Xiongnu soldiers to comfort our Qin army soldiers in the sky!"

When the Qin generals looked at each other when they heard this, Wei Yuan said, "Didn't your Majesty say that you can't kill prisoners?" Han Xin said angrily, "Fuck, these rules are internal, what kind of kindness is to these bullshit barbarians! Kill them all, which is also what Your Majesty means! Also, in the future, you will use them for the enemy to minimize your dependence on logistics, which is also what Your Majesty means! This is to weaken the national policy of the Huns. Now you understand! Then why don't you implement it!" The generals retreated awkwardly when they heard this, and vented their anger on the Huns' captives.

In the afternoon, the Qin army took action together and killed all 24,000 Xiongnu prisoners on the banks of Dark Cloud Sea Lake. For a moment, the beautiful Dark Cloud Sea Lake became red, and the corpses on the shore were as accumulated as if they were falling into the Avici Hell!

Three days later, the Qin army was rested and kept the seriously injured, leaving 3,000 troops to take care of it. The remaining Qin army, together with the Xiongnu Donghu surrendered troops, drove a large number of herds and war horses seized from the Battle of Wuyunhai Lake, and rushed northward to chase the remaining Xiongnu army and a large number of civilians in the depths of the northern part of the desert! At the same time, Han Xin ordered that the Qin army's logistics supply troops, which were stagnant between Rushui and Liaoshui, immediately return to the army, and from then on, all the Qin army will be used for the enemy, and no longer use a penny of money, food and supplies in the country!

So, in January, under Han Xin, the Qin army swept across the left part of the Xiongnu with thunder, and successively killed more than 20,000 remaining Xiongnu troops and surrendered thousands of Donghu surrendered troops. Wherever they passed along the way, all the Xiongnu tribes were killed, and a total of more than 200,000 heads were cut. The former Donghu tribes surrendered after hearing the Qin army's favor, with a total of more than 140,000 entries; one of the remaining Xiongnu soldiers and civilians fled far away to the north, and the other fled to the Western royal court!

In this battle, more than 600,000 soldiers and civilians from the left of the Xiongnu, and more than 500,000 were killed or surrendered to the Qin army, and they were basically destroyed in the left of the Xiongnu. At this point, there were no traces of the Xiongnu on the vast grassland north of Yan and Zhao in the short term. Han Xin was also regarded as a "grassland fox" by the Xiongnu because of his ferocity and cunning, and was frightened when he heard it!

In the early winter of 206 BC, Han Xin led the Eastern Army to return to the army victoriously. The 100,000 soldiers who had originally set out to fight were less than 60,000, and the rest were either killed in battle or died in a foreign land due to illness or injuries! However, Han Xin brought back 170,000 surrendered Donghu soldiers and civilians, as well as millions of livestock and more than 200,000 good horses. Of course, this is just a superficial gain. What Qin State really got is the dignity and confidence of a nation, which cannot be bought no matter how much money it costs!
