Chapter 10 The Great Throwing Out
Mao Dun's two tricks are indeed amazing, and his moves hit the Qin army's key points. Especially second-hand ones, they are even more ruthless, and they want to cut off the Qin army's water source.
Although water is normal, no one can do without it. Once there is no water to drink, both people and horses will be in trouble.
Huo Qubing died young and the cause of his death is an eternal mystery. However, there is a saying that when Huo Qubing attacked the Huns in the north, he drank water polluted by the Huns' deaths, cattle, horses, and sheep, and died of illness.
This shows how cruel this move is.
"Haha!" A loud laughter sounded, and the crowd laughed so hard that they were so happy.
Touman Chanyu nodded constantly, his face full of joy. He was so scheming that he was sincerely happy at such a young age.
"I don't believe it. With these two moves, the Qin army can still be defeated?" Some ministers were so happy that they almost sang it.
"That's right. If the Qin army is still undefeated, we will not fight with the Qin army and withdraw." A minister said carelessly.
"You are wrong." Maodun spoke again, saying: "Isn't it a good opportunity for the Great Huns to attack Mobei? Over the years, the Great Huns have not succeeded in occupying the Hetao territory and suffered many defeats. If they take advantage of the opportunity of the Qin army to attack Mobei and defeat the Qin army, the Great Huns will take advantage of the situation to go south and attack the Hetao territory in one fell swoop."
"The land of Hetao?" A scream sounded, and everyone's eyes were full of heat.
The Hetao land is a natural pasture, and the climate is warm. Compared with the bitter and cold Mobei, it is the paradise in the minds of the Huns. They dreamed of getting the Hetao land. For this reason, the Huns moved south several times and wanted to capture the Hetao land, but they all ended in failure. If the Huns could get the Hetao land, their strength would increase drastically.
This is too great for everyone to be unhappy.
"Um.
The prince is right, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Great Huns. This battle must be fought!" Touman Shanyu clenched his right hand into a fist and shook it hard.

Winter is coming and spring comes, and spring is coming in a blink of an eye. When all things are revived, the time for the Qin army to launch a large-scale outbreak is coming.
For this reason, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Wei Liao, Ying Zheng, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Wang Ben and others held their last meeting in Jicheng to decide on major military affairs. After this consultation, the Qin army would go out to blockade.
After a winter of familiarity, Ying Zheng's understanding of military strategy became more thorough. The command of the front army under his command was strict and quick, and was highly praised by Li Mu, Wei Liao and Sima Shang.
At this point, Li Mu realized that it was too reckless to stop Wei Liao from assigning the former general to Ying Zheng that day. Ying Zheng was born to be the one who led the army.
"Spring is here, it's time to use troops. We have been preparing for so long, and it's time for us to take action." Li Muhu's eyes flashed with gleam, and he said with some excitement: "This is our last consultation, you all speak freely."
The massive sprint is about to go on. This is so exciting. Everyone's eyes are full of excitement. It's all exciting.
"This time, we must fight hard, win a big victory and completely resolve the Huns. From then on, there will be no war in the northern border." Wei Liao, who has always been calm, was also unspeakable and waved his fist hard.
"That's right." Sima Shang highly agreed with this sentence: "The Huns have caused trouble to China for thousands of years. In the past, we had the intention to defeat the Huns, but we had no power to defeat the Huns. Now, the world is unified, China is unified, and the strength of the Qin Dynasty has increased dramatically, which can completely solve the Huns' problem."
The Huns have always been a major concern for China and have disturbed the border, which has caused great headaches for China. Although King Wuling of Zhao defeated the Huns and the Qin and Qin Yiren wiped out millions of the Huns, it was not enough to completely solve the Huns' problem. Although the Huns were defeated, they could escape to Mobei to lick their wounds and recover their vitality.
At that time, the nations were competing for hegemony, and the Central Plains were fighting endlessly, and they were unable to attack the northern part of the Mo, and could not completely solve the problem of the Huns. Now that the world has returned to unite, the Qin Dynasty has accumulated strong strength, and it is time to solve the Xiongs, a thousand-year-old trouble.
How exciting this matter is!
Don’t say that you do it, just thinking about it is exciting.
"Do you know how the Huns will respond?" Ying Zheng asked suddenly with a calm expression.
"The prince knows?" Li Mu was a little surprised.
Ying Zheng was extremely talented and had already won the respect of everyone. When he suddenly asked this, he must have seen something. Everyone was curious and his eyes were focused on Ying Zheng.
"The Qin Dynasty launched a large-scale outbreak and wanted to attack Mobei. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Huns. As long as they defeated the Qin Dynasty, the Huns would take advantage of the situation to go south and capture the land of Hetao." Ying Zheng's eyes were wise and said, "So, even if this battle was not as planned by General Li Mu, the Huns would fight against the Shanyu King Ting and Langjuxu Mountain that attacked the Huns."
"It's reasonable! It's reasonable!" Everyone agreed in unison.
It is well known that the Huns wanted to capture the Hetao land. Taking advantage of the Qin army's opportunity to attack Mobei, defeat the Qin army, and then take advantage of the situation to attack the Hetao land, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Huns will definitely not miss it.
Therefore, this battle will inevitably happen.
Of course, according to Li Mu's plan, the Shanyu Wangting and Langjuxu Mountain, which attacked the Xiongnu, were safer and more proactive.
If the purpose of Shanyu Wangting and Langjuxushan was not to be used as the purpose, the Xiongnu could have fought with the Qin army and consumed the Qin army much later. Now, according to Li Mou's plan, the Qin army pointed directly at Beiwangting and Langjuxushan. The Xiongnu could not fight too much. They must stop the Qin army, which would force the Xiongnu to start a war early, which gave the Qin army the initiative.
"As I expected, the Huns will definitely consume as much as possible on the way to advance the Qin Dynasty this time, exhausting us." Ying Zheng stretched out his two fingers and said, "The methods he used are nothing more than two strategies: one is to send flying cavalry to harass the Qin army, attack the Qin army, and even lead the Qin army to the Miyaji. The other is to throw dead cattle, horses and sheep into the water source to destroy the water source."
"So vicious!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Everyone doesn't care about the first strategy. Just because the Qin army is not deceived, no matter how the Huns disturb them, they will not succeed.
What shocked everyone was the second strategy: destroying the water source. Once there was no water source, Daqin would be in trouble.
"Crown Prince, how should I deal with this?" Li Mu asked Ying Zheng anxiously.
Everyone's eyes gathered on Ying Zheng again, with expectations on his face.
"These two strategies look great, especially the second one is ruthless, but there is no need to worry." Ying Zheng looked calm and did not care at all.
This was very confusing and everyone looked confused.
"Crown Prince, how can you explain this?" Wei Liao's brows frowned and said, "In my opinion, these two strategies are extremely important, especially the second one, and it is difficult to solve them."
Polluting water sources is a "trump card" and it is difficult to solve them. This is a headache, but Ying Zheng is not worried at all. He will not be surprised by everyone.
"Let's talk about the first strategy first." Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword unsheathed, and sneered: "The Huns thought they were familiar with riding and ejaculation, and came and went like the wind, but they didn't know who was the originator of the flying cavalry? Seven hundred years ago, when the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty used flying cavalry to fight the surrounding tribes in the Longxi Valley, the Huns were not the same."
Everyone was stunned at first, and then laughed loudly, which was extremely comfortable.
The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic people and was best at using flying cavalry. According to historical records, the ancestors of the Qin tribe disheveled their hair, wore leather armor, carried bows and arrows, hung their heads around their waists, waved scimitars, and galloped on horses. This is the flying cavalry.
Speaking of using the Flying Cavalry, the Qin tribe has a longer history than the Huns, and it can be said to be the founder of the Flying Cavalry. This time, the Huns wanted to use the Flying Cavalry to deal with the Qin army, which was because they were playing with axes in front of Lu Ban's gate and overestimating their abilities.
"We can choose a group of flying cavalry to deal with the Xiongnu's flying cavalry. Our flying cavalry has a crossbow that can suppress the Xiongnu's riding and shooting. We will definitely win." Sima Shang clenched his hands into fists and shook them hard, and was so excited that he couldn't say anything.
The Huns were proficient in the way of riding and shooting, which was the Huns’s secret skill. If they were suppressed by the Qin crossbow, it would be unreasonable if the Huns remained undefeated.
Although Maodun's idea was good, he ignored the historical fact that the Qin tribe was the founder of the flying cavalry. Moreover, he forgot that the Central Plains had advanced civilization and developed technology, which could create a large number of hand crossbows.
"Okay! OK! OK!" Everyone was very excited, as if the Huns' flying cavalry had been defeated by the Qin army.
"Crown Prince, how to solve the second strategy?" Wei Liao's eyes flashed with admiration.
"If the Huns did not send flying cavalry, it would be a huge trouble to break the second strategy." Ying Zheng said calmly, "If the Huns sent flying cavalry, they would inevitably leave some water sources that would not be destroyed. This is our opportunity."
Although the Huns came and went like the wind, they were also humans, and they had to eat and drink. The flying cavalry that came to harass the Qin army also needed water sources, and they would inevitably leave some water sources without destruction. The Qin army only needed to defeat these flying cavalry and find these water sources to solve the problem.
"Okay! Cai!" Everyone shouted in unison with admiration.
Although Maodun's plan was good, he did not expect that it would be cracked by Ying Zheng.
Next, everyone discussed for a while, and Li Mu and Sima Shang rushed to Shuofang.
With Wei Liao's order, the Qin army began to mobilize. Soon, there was a black ocean outside Jicheng, and 250,000 Qin army gathered here, covering an area of dozens of miles.
At this time, everyone in the Qin army held their heads high, raised their chests, and their eyes were filled with a fierce fighting spirit, and they all wanted to fight to the death.
Surrounded by Ying Zheng, Meng Tian and the generals, Wei Liao came to the front of the formation and glanced at the Qin army. He was extremely satisfied with the Qin army's fighting spirit. He spoke loudly and said, "Brothers: You all know that the Qin Dynasty is going to defeat the Huns!"
"Destroy the Huns!" The Qin soldiers burst into a shocking roar, and everyone was excited.
"For hundreds of years, the Huns have plagued China, plundered our people, and killed our people, and committed great crimes! Now, it is time to pay the blood debt from the Huns!" Wei Liao raised his right hand high and slashed it heavily, like thunder and lightning, full of power.
"Blood debt and blood repayment!" Qin army soldiers burst into a shocking roar.
Wei Liao drew out the Qin sword and swung it heavily to the north, like a sky sword storming through the sky, stolen eyes.
"rumble!"
