A few days ago.
When Zhao Lang heard the urgent news from his scouts, he was still a bit incredulous that
“Ten miles away, a medium-sized tribe is migrating!?”
According to military intelligence, there would not be a medium-sized tribe with a population of more than five hundred in this area.
Any larger ones would have been killed by Meng Tian long ago.
But the Huns were seven hundred miles away, and behind this phrase was the wailing of countless Huns.
Just what does the discovery of a medium-sized tribe within two hundred miles of the Great Wall now mean?
Could it be that the Huns are making a comeback?
And history does say so!
Zhao Lang’s heart tightened at once and he asked
“Did you find out how many people there are?”
The spy returned and
“The other side is surrounded by vigilantes, so my subordinates did not dare to get too close.”
“But judging from the number of cattle and sheep, I’m afraid the number of people will not be less than three thousand!”
“Three thousand people!”
Lu on the side heard this and shouted out straight away.
Mind you, almost everyone in the Huns rode horses, even the women!
It only took half of the three thousand men to be warriors.
Those of them would have to be accounted for!
The reason why the Qin army had been able to defeat the other side before was because of the cooperation of multiple types of soldiers.
But if we talk about this kind of skirmish, we can’t get much advantage!
“General, let’s retreat before the other side finds us, and then tell the Great General about the military situation!”
Lu advised at this time.
Zhao Lang was thinking of something at this time, however, and only after a moment did he ask, again
“Which direction is the other side migrating towards?”
The scout froze for a moment and spoke to
“Towards the north.”
“North?”
Zhao Lang pondered slightly and spoke to Lu
“Would you say that today the grass is lush in the north, or in the south?”
Lu was puzzled by the question, but returned, nevertheless
“General, naturally the south side is lush.”
Zhao Lang nodded and smiled as he said that
“With your years of experience, if the Xiongnu were capable of eating us, would they let go?”
Lu shook his head extremely firmly and
“The Huns see us as enemies and would definitely attack us if they had the chance!”
“General, that’s why we have to retreat now before the other side finds us.”
Lu advised again at this time.
Zhao Lang laughed and said.
“You think the other side still doesn’t know about our existence?”
“We’ve eliminated so many small tribes these days, even if we completely exterminate every single one of them.”
“But, for the Huns not to have heard from the front for so long, they must have realised something was wrong.”
“But instead of sending scouts out wide to find out where we are, they are moving deeper into the grasslands.”
“What does this mean?”
“That they are heading deeper into the grasslands means that they are not there to graze and know of us but do not attack,”
Lu at this time also had a burst of clarity rise in his heart, and with a little excitement he said that
“It’s because they don’t have enough men!”
Zhao Lang nodded at this time, and then said to the others that
“Order, press all troops! Bite them!”
Soon, the entire Qin army picked up speed!
And the two thousand generals in the army, almost roaring, shouted to their own men that
“Brothers, this is a great opportunity to make a war effort!”
“Anyone who doesn’t work hard, I’ll skin him when I get back!”
Zhao Lang did not interfere with the rude attitude of the thousand generals, and he knew that there were military orders before.
All the Qin soldiers in Yunzhong County had been demoted by one rank.
Don’t underestimate this one rank, how many people had fought for their lives to get it.
At once everyone was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood!
At this time, Zhao Lang also saw what a real elite Qin army was like.
He rode along at a trot, while the Qin army behind him actually kept up!
And it had been going on for nearly half an hour!
Although everyone had been issued with straps, this was extremely impressive.
The Qin army’s resistance to hard fighting is not an empty phrase.
Soon, after crossing a small high slope, Zhao Lang saw, not far away on the undulating grassland, a large area of cattle and sheep appeared.
Between the cattle and sheep were the Xiongnu tribes who had migrated with their families in tow.
Both sides saw each other.
A group of Hun cavalrymen, killing out of the tribes.
And the horde continues to migrate.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Lang, however, revealed a smile, waiting to see the less than five teams of a hundred men rushing out.
His smile then grew even bigger.
“Lu, lead the men to protect the flanks.”
“Everyone else, sprint!”
In a flash, the Qin army, already not slow, picked up speed once more!
Soon the Xiongnu cavalry were charging towards them too, shooting at them from a distance!
Looking at the other side with their legs between their horses’ bellies and shooting arrows with both hands.
Zhao Lang was also a little envious.
Only these people who grew up on horseback could do that, riding and shooting without stirrups.
The Qin army also could not help but slow down.
“Lu, stall them!”
Zhao Lang ordered as he plucked away a sharp arrow that flew towards him.
This time he did not charge himself.
Lu quickly led two hundred cavalrymen and charged forward.
His task was not to kill the enemy, as long as he held off the other side, when the infantry surrounded them, these men would be dead.
Sure enough, the other side did not pester and quickly withdrew.
Instead, they kept on harassing with their bows and arrows on the sidelines.
Zhao Lang did not hesitate to
“Ignore them and storm their home formation!”
At once, the Qin army once again quickened its pace.
But it was inevitable that some were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
But at this point it was too late to care.
And as they drew nearer to the horde, the Hun cavalry who had wandered off to the side could no longer sit still, each hissing loudly and charging forward.
The Qin army could only stop and prepare for the onslaught.
Bang!
The Xiongnu cavalry collided viciously with the Qin army.
All at once, roars of anger and wails rang out simultaneously.
Zhao Lang, however, was not concerned here at this time; these elite Qin troops knew how to respond.
He watched as several fast horses, along with a wagon, sneaked away from the fleeing tribe.
Running towards the other side.
Looking at Lu, who was stirring with the Xiongnu cavalry, Zhao Lang, at this time, shouted to a thousand-strong general, saying
“Finish them off and continue to lead the men to storm this formation!”
“Hu, follow me!”
After saying that, with a clip on the belly of his horse, he led the men towards the wagon.
Xi, who had been at his side, hurried to follow.
Zhao Lang could now also have his own personal guard.
There were just fewer of them.
Soon, Zhao Lang killed his way to the carriage, and even though the Hun cavalry around him fought to the death, they only lasted a little longer.
Stopping the carriage, Hu stepped forward of his own accord and opened it.
Then with slight surprise, he spoke to Zhao Lang, saying
“Chief, it’s a woman, and a couple of cubs.”
“Hey, this woman is quite a mark! Chief, do you want to…”
“f*ck off.”
Zhao Lang said without a good mood, it wasn’t like his surname was Cao.
And at that moment, the tribe, not far away, saw this scene.
It actually stopped.
The Hun cavalrymen also gave up their attack and returned to the tribe.
The battle seemed to be over in a flash.
When Zhao Lang returned to the group with his carriage, Lu arrived with a few moments of excitement to
“General! These Huns say that you have captured their monarch’s son, Boldon’s wife and son!”
