As Meng Tian listened to the scouts’ report, he only thought he had misheard.
To the scout, who had already arrived at his heels, he asked
“Say it again!”
The scout exclaimed, the
“General, Centurion Zhao Lang, defeated thousands of enemy troops and captured over a hundred.”
Meng Tian was suddenly stunned once again.
He had sent his scouts out not just to scout out the enemy.
More than that, he wanted to find Zhao Lang’s group in advance and bring Hu Hai back.
It was just that beyond the Great Wall today, it could be said that it was still a floodplain.
To find these twenty or so people in this land was simply impossible.
That was why he had sent out a large army.
Of course, he wasn’t that worried, judging from his previous performance, this Zhao Lang was still young though.
But he was not a reckless person either.
In the face of the Xiongnu Hu camp, the only way to save them was to sneak in at night.
According to his calculations, with one night’s rush and one night’s reconnaissance, it would probably take a third night to launch.
And by that time, his army would have already arrived.
Hu Hai would also be safe.
As to whether those merchants would be killed by the Xiongnu Hu Hai, that was not in Meng Tian’s mind.
But how could he have ever imagined that Zhao Lang, with twenty or so men, would break the other side in one fell swoop!
How was this possible!
Putting himself in his place, even if it was himself, with twenty of his elite personal guards.
He wouldn’t have dared to say that he had smashed thousands of Huns and Hugs!
“How did they do it?”
Meng Tian couldn’t help but ask straight out.
Only this was a question that no one could answer.
Meng Tian looked at the few generals at the side who were already in shock plus confusion.
With a faint sigh, the great Qin had earlier been full of fierce generals.
But nowadays, there were no more outstanding generals in the new generation.
At once, he spoke to the scouts and said
“Where are they?”
The scout returned and
“Just a few dozen miles ahead.”
Meng Tian nodded and spoke to the
“Order the army to stop, camp in place and prepare to return.”
“You guys come with me.”
The Xiongnu Hu had been routed and these foot soldiers could no longer be of any use.
One could only hope that the cavalry, which had been arranged out in advance, would try to kill and wound some of the routed soldiers.
After saying this, Meng Tian was about to set off on his horse, but was pulled back by a bearded man who said, with some apprehension, that
“General, you should stay at the camp, we will go ahead in case there is any fraud.”
At this point, Meng Tian smiled a little.
“These Xiongnu Hu people are worthy to use tricks?”
When he finished, he clipped the belly of his horse and ran towards the front.
In his heart, he still could not rest assured about Hu Hai.
The bearded man could only sigh too, and then spoke to his subordinate, saying
“Set up camp in place.”
And then followed.
Soon, all the Qin troops stopped in place and prepared to set up camp.
At this moment, several people in the Qin army were a little confused when they heard the order, why did they suddenly stop?
“What’s happening ahead? Didn’t they say they were going to fight the Huns?”
Fu Su looked for a Qin soldier he knew well and asked.
The Qin soldier returned with extreme excitement that
“I heard that it was the chief, who led the men to break the Xiongnu Hu people!”
“Smashed?!”
Fusu froze on the spot.
“How is this possible!”
During these two days of marching and following Meng Tian around, he had roughly figured out the situation.
The Xiongnu Hu had gathered together nearly thousands of men, otherwise they would not have sent out a large army.
But now it was said that these thousands of men had been broken by Zhao Lang’s twenty or so men?
Gao was also dumbfounded.
Win Yin Man even had an incredulous look on his face.
“Is he, in fact, that powerful?”
At this moment, Meng Tian led the men to speed along.
It wasn’t long before a long procession was seen.
Meng Tian even clipped the belly of his horse and increased his speed.
All the way to the front of this procession.
When Meng Tian saw Hu Hai, who was running backwards and forwards in the procession, his heart settled down.
It was only then that the others followed in hot haste and then blocked in front of Meng Tian.
There was some confusion in the scene.
When Zhao Lang saw these people, he was slightly startled in his heart.
He knew that he would alert the bearded man, but he didn’t expect that even Meng Tian had come!
Taking advantage of the confusion on the other side, he whispered to Li Shang, who was standing by, that
“Remember what I said before, don’t show your face, or we’ll have made this trip for nothing.”
Then he handed the weapon in his hand to Li Shang to put it away and rode up on his own.
Li Shang looked at Zhao Lang’s back with an odd expression on his face, he was never expecting that the other party was not only capable of fighting and killing, but also had such a small mind.
Soon, Zhao Lang arrived in front of the bearded man.
At once, he saluted and said.
“Greetings, General!”
Meng Tian looked at the general in front of him with some dissatisfaction.
A group of 1,000 generals and 10,000 generals, in terms of heart, were actually not as strong as a centurion!
How could this not make him angry?
“What are you blocking me for? Get out of the way! ”
It was at this point that the bearded men moved out of the way.
If they were scolded, they were scolded, but there were certain gestures that they had to make.
As Meng Tian looked at Zhao Lang, who was covered in blood and scorch marks, a hint of emotion and satisfaction surfaced in his heart.
However, his face was solemn as he said that
“Zhao Lang! You know your crime for sending out troops to save others in private!”
Hearing these words, the surrounding speaking generals could not help but look at each other.
They knew that with just the word save people, Zhao Lang would not be punished in any way.
As long as Zhao Lang was not stupid and obediently admitted his mistake, the matter would be over.
Otherwise, but a single charge of sending out troops on his own would be enough to lose his head!
The bearded man’s heart even lit up, indeed, this Zhao Lang’s identity was not ordinary.
Zhao Lang’s heart fluttered and he returned, loudly
“The last general does not know!”
At once, everyone was stunned.
Not even going down a step? Or a rash man?
Meng Tian even raised an eyebrow and spoke in a deep voice to
“Zhao Lang! You sent troops out on your own! How dare you defend yourself!”
“Do you really think that because you have achieved military success, this General will not punish you!”
Meng Tian’s words were harsh, but in his heart he instead gained a little more appreciation.
With more than twenty men, he had defeated thousands of men and captured over a hundred of them!
Of course, he had the right to be arrogant!
It is not good to be worldly and smooth.
That’s the spirited teenager!
But the more so, the more he has to sharpen it.
Anyway, Zhao Lang is still young and has plenty of time.
Zhao Lang returned to the
“Back to the general, the last general received a request for help from the Great Qin merchant fleet before leading the troops into battle, how can I say that it was a private military mission!”
Meng Tian grunted and said that
“It is true that the Qin army has the duty to protect the people of Great Qin, but you have crossed the Great Wall and crossed the border privately, what else is there to argue about?”
Zhao Lang’s face was solemn as he returned that
“Great General, I have heard that under the whole heaven, there is no land other than the king’s!”
“Even beyond the Great Wall is the land of my Great Qin, it is only temporarily undermanned and not occupied, how can we say that it is out of the mirror to fight?”
“The people of Great Qin are under attack on Great Qin land, of course the last general should save them! And what is the crime!”
Hearing these words, Meng Tian was stunned.
