Through Time Chapter 163

Inside the main camp.

When the bearded general heard the urgent report, he stood up straight away and walked quickly to the scouts.

In an urgent voice, he said.

“Speak clearly!”

The scout returned, under his breath.

“General, several Hun tribes have been scouted, and the Hu tribes have assembled together.”

“Over a few thousand! Just a hundred miles away!”

“And they are taking the caravans captive.”

The bearded general was startled!

Although the Great Qin had 300,000 Qin troops stationed in the northern border, the northern border was long and 300,000 men scattered over it would not be much.

Besides, the main military forces were watching the Xiongnu directly to the north.

Their strength in this part of the country was only two thousand.

And the Great Wall had not been closed and there were still many gaps.

It was not that they were afraid; the Qin border troops had always fought to the death and the victory rate was still extremely high.

But if the other side splits into small groups, Yi will rely on the high speed of the cavalry to invade the territory and seize supplies.

This would be very difficult to bear.

That’s what they have traditionally done.

The bearded man looked at this point to Meng Tian, who was still firmly planted, sitting in the upper seat and looking at the bamboo brief, and couldn’t help but say that

“Great General! What is to be done?”

Following Meng Tian was a guard of nearly five hundred generals, all cavalry.

If the other side scattered, it would have to rely on cavalry against cavalry.

Meng Tian did not return to the other side’s question, but spoke indifferently, saying

“Do you know why you were placed in this remote place?”

The bearded man was stunned for a moment and said, with a touch of shame

“I don’t know, but I am a fool.”

Meng Tian put the bamboo slip down and said.

“You, ah, have empty bravery, but you are too slow to understand the military situation.”

“But it is rare that the Xiongnu and Hu people have mixed together.”

Meng Tian shook his head and said that

“In short, they are not trying to attack, but to flee.”

“After so many years of bouncing around, they are finally getting close.”

“Once these small and medium-sized tribes are gone, the Xiongnu royal court, deep in the grassland, won’t be able to last much longer.”

“Within ten years! We’ll be rid of our enemies forever!”

The bearded man’s eyes glowed as he listened, and he hastened to say that

“Great General is mighty!”

Meng Tian picked up the bamboo brief again and

“Just tell the ministries to strengthen their defenses.”

The bearded man hesitated for a moment and asked that

“Great General, those merchant caravans…”

According to the rules, the Great Qin did have the duty to protect them.

Meng Tian, however, grunted at this time and said that

“A bunch of merchants are just that, living and dying for profit.”

“It’s a good death.”

The bearded man looked at Meng Tian’s disgusted look and just wanted to give himself a big slap in the face.

How could he forget that the Great Qin hierarchy was extremely disgusted with merchants because of that one.

So throughout Great Qin, even though merchants had money, they were not valued.

“Right, you go and transfer Centurion Zhao Lang’s team next to me.”

Meng Tian ordered at this time, although he also concluded that the Hu people could not afford to make any waves.

But this was still something to be safe, three princes and one royal daughter, nothing could go wrong.

“Yes, General, the last general will go and make arrangements.”

The bearded man sighed that this Zhao Lang was indeed favoured, and then hurriedly took the opportunity to leave.

Just as quickly, he returned to the tent with a ghastly pale face.

“Great General, it’s not good, Zhao Lang, the Centurion, has led his men to rescue the caravan!”

Hearing this, Meng Tian changed furiously and fiercely stood up, asking in an urgent voice that

“What! How many men did he bring with him!”

“More than twenty men.”

“Bring me the list,”

Monty said, impatiently.

“Forget it, let’s go to his camp!”

Soon, Meng Tian led the way to the camp, and the sergeants guarding it were dumbfounded.

They had originally thought of helping to hide it, but how could they possibly hide it now?

“Let everyone out.”

The bearded general spoke grumpily.

At once, the whole camp moved.

When Meng Tian saw the three Fusu in the crowd, he was slightly comforted.

Only he quickly frowned and asked.

“Where is everyone else?”

The bearded general, thinking he was being asked, returned that

“Great General, the others have gone out after the centurion Zhao Lang.”

At once, Meng Tian’s heart went cold.

A royal son that was still a royal son!

At once, Meng Tian’s face turned iron blue and

“b*****d!”

The bearded man laughed bitterly, too

“This Zhao Lang is indeed bold as well.”

Ignoring what the bearded man was rambling on about, Meng Tian took a deep breath.

Speaking to the escort at one side, he said

“Gather the men and horses and prepare to attack first thing in the morning.”

The bearded man’s face paled at the sound of

“Great General! No!”

“You’re the general of the army, you can’t risk your life!”

If Meng Tian really lost a hair on his head, his whole family would not survive.

Meng Tian said indifferently that

“What’s the panic!”

“You lead the men to the rear, and send orders to all Qin troops within 500 miles to follow my orders and attack to overcome the enemy!”

“It is rare for the other side to assemble, this time, this general wants the whole of Liaodong to be free of the worry of Hu invasion for three years.”

The bearded man froze in a flash, and in an instant, the great general had made his deployment.

This kind of strength of mind was unimaginable.

It was only with a touch of anger that Meng Tian quickly said that

“Afterwards, this centurion, Zhao Lang, must be punished heavily!”

In the face of Meng Tian’s anger, the bearded man understood, it was a case of love and blame.

Look at the age, Murphy… It’s just that the name doesn’t match up.

While the bearded man was making wild guesses, Zhao Lang was already leading the men through the night, speeding along.

On horseback, Li Shang was now in a bit of turmoil.

He was wondering how he had gotten onto the horse in such a confused manner.

It seemed like he had said he wanted to compete with him in battle?

Just as he was rambling, the pace in front of him slowed down a little.

Beyond the Great Wall, all was a patch of undulating grass.

Perfect for horse farts to gallop.

It’s just that you can’t march too fast at night, or you could easily fall off your horse, and get separated.

So every time you march, you slow down.

“Take a short rest!”

Zhao Lang shouted as he glanced at the group in the night.

He didn’t expect that all of this new group of soldiers had actually followed.

This was not easy.

“Erhei, how is it, do you still recognise the direction?”

Erhei nodded with a slightly pained look on his face.

“The direction is right, family head, I’m fine, it’s important to save Brother Death and the others!”

Zhao Lang stroked Erhei’s head and said to Hu Hai, who was standing by.

“How are you?”

Hu Hai said with a bit of excitement in his nervousness that

“Brother Long, I’m fine.”

“It’s just that, with so few of us, can we save anyone?”

It was not that Hu Hai was extinguishing his own prestige, with this number of men, if the original plan was followed, a raid on a small tribe of about a hundred people.

Not a big problem.

But now, according to Erhei, a number of tribes had joined forces.

There’s no hope at all.

Zhao Lang laughed a little.

Of course, he didn’t expect to rely on these new recruits to fight the union of several tribes; his real killing move was those black gunpowder on the back of his horse.

“It’s not like you have to defeat the other side to save them, it’s good to cause confusion.”

Zhao Lang said indifferently.

Only after saying so did the others relax slightly.

They wanted to fight for military success, but they didn’t want to get killed.

Only those new recruits, however, had expressionless faces, as if they would carry out whatever decision Zhao Lang made.

“Go! Before dawn, we have to find their camp.”

“Rest during the day and raid tomorrow night!”

Zhao Lang clamped his horse’s belly and led the men off again!
