Upon hearing Zhao Lang’s command, the Qin troops on the sidelines who were passing the orders did not leave immediately, but instead froze slightly and looked towards Meng Tian.
Meng Ten quickly said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, Han Xin arrived in a hurry with his army, and I’m afraid that if we go out of the Great Wall to defend the enemy now, we’ll be killed or injured.”
He didn’t say that he didn’t trust Han Xin because that would damage Zhao Lang’s face.
It would be much better to discourage it from Han Xin’s perspective.
Zhao Lang at this time, however, revealed a smile and returned to.
“General Meng, this is our army’s first engagement with the Xiong Nu in the beginning of spring, if we lose, will our army be routed?”
Meng Tian froze for a moment and returned.
“It’s just an engagement, even if we lose, it’s not a rout.”
“If the border troops are so bad, how can they defend the borders of such a great Qin.”
Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Lang’s face grew the more he returned, saying.
“General Meng, since that’s the case, then let Han Xin go, you’ll just have to see his qualifications as well.”
“What better proof is there than actual combat?”
Looking at Zhao Lang, who was already living ready to lose this battle, Meng Tian was speechless for a while.
Zhao Lang finally said in an extremely bland manner.
“This matter, it’s settled.”
“Please also ask General Meng to watch the pressure formation for our army.”
After saying that, he took the lead and led the people towards the outside.
It wasn’t that he didn’t care about the lives and deaths of his soldiers, in the large-scale engagement afterwards.
Would Xiong Nu wait for the Qin army to build up their strength before attacking?
It must have used the high mobility of the cavalry to pull the Qin army.
If the Qin army couldn’t even hold on to the tens of thousands of cavalry from the other side, how would they fight against the 300,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu afterwards?
It would be better to switch strategies earlier and rely on the Great Wall for an honest defence.
Then transfer all the people into the county to minimise the loss of personnel.
Of course, this year this whole northern land is kind of wasted.
Just wait for the South to save the North in the winter.
There was another reason, of course Meng Tian was a great general, but he was no longer a mere general, but a great nobleman.
For him, holding the northern border, even with some damage, was perfectly acceptable.
Han Xin was different, ambitious and wanting to build a career!
This was why he wanted Han Xin to lead the battle.
After his battle this time, Great Qin will never have the scourge of the northern border!
Seeing Zhao Lang walk straight out, Meng Tian could only follow.
Anyway, with him around, nothing can go terribly wrong.
Soon, several fast horses galloped out from within the Great Qin’s tent, heading towards Han Xin’s army that was coming towards the camp.
As they galloped along, when they reached the front of the army, the messenger directly held up the order flag, and while running, he yelled.
“General Han receives the order! The Xiong Nu is attacking! General Han will lead the army out of the Great Wall to meet them!”
Han Xin, who was in the centre of the army, quickly got the order, and Xiao He, who was in charge of handling military affairs next to him, frowned slightly and said that
“Why isn’t this defended against the Great Wall?”
“Moreover, the army has just marched for half a day and is not familiar with the defence, why are they still going out of the city to meet the battle?”
“Then again, within the Great Wall, there should be rested border troops as well!”
Xiao He hesitated for a moment, then said.
“This is also our army’s first battle, if we lose too much in haste, I’m afraid it will also affect your reputation.”
“Why don’t we just report to the Great General that it’s better to let the Great Qin Border Army fight in this battle.”
Listening to Xiao He’s words, Han Xin looked over at the military orders sent by the messenger and instantly revealed a smile and said.
“Brother Xiao, look carefully, even if this matter really needs to be reported, it should be reported to the chief, this is the Crown Prince’s order!”
“Furthermore, the battlefield is ever-changing, at any time we will encounter unexpected situations, what if this time is an encounter between our army and the Xiongnu on the grassland?”
“Our army will also have to go and notify Great Qin’s border army to come to the rescue?”
He understood that this was a test given to him by Zhao Lang, but also an opportunity for him, whether he could seize it or not depended on himself!
So no longer entangled in his mind, he quickly ordered that
“Come on people! The front army sprints out of the city! Ten men in a row in formation!”
“The middle army will support the centre, the rear army will go left and leave the Wall through the other gate ten miles away!”
“After leaving the Wall, march along the Wall towards me!”
“Order the bowmen, engineers…”
Han Xin’s orders were passed out moment by moment, and the entire army moved like a running tide, extremely smooth, with every single person knowing his or her task, and it even looked a bit pleasing to the eye.
Even Xiao He, who had followed all the way here, couldn’t help but faintly admire in his heart…
Han Xin is indeed a military wizard!
Of course, sighing is sighing, but the first time to face the Xiongnu army, more or less some apprehension.
After all, it is rumoured that the Huns are cannibals!
Han Xin’s complexion, however, was as calm as water, his eyes firmly looking in the direction beyond the Great Wall.
He wants to make a name for himself! It started with this battle!
At this moment, the Great Wall
On top of that, the faces of the Great Qin Border Army were all slightly grave.
Because in front of them, in that vast, alternating black and white snow.
A thick black line that stretched for miles from left to right, with the border from left to right almost invisible, was slowly approaching towards the Great Wall.
They all knew that every dot of that black line was a greedy Hun cavalryman.
In other words, there were at least tens of thousands of Hun cavalry here!
At this moment, when they got closer to the Hun ranks, they could still hear a dull, low, slow sound of horses’ hooves trampling on the snow.
In the middle of the Xiongnu team, naturally, is the Xiongnu’s single lord Boldon.
Sitting on the back of his horse, Morton felt the front and back, and then looked at the endless Hun cavalry on both sides.
In his eyes, this Great Wall in front of him was also somewhat unbearable.
Of course, he still had a number in his heart.
To come today, it was just to deter.
By the way, he would see if he could meet his arch-enemy’s deceased friend whom he had wanted to see for a long time.
They can’t possibly crash their horses into the Great Wall, and that’s not the way to send them to their deaths.
“Hahaha, Shan Yu, I’m afraid these Qin people are trembling in fear behind that earthen wall right now.”
On the side, King Zuo Xian said with a smile at this time.
The other Hun leaders, too, couldn’t help but laugh a few times in agreement.
No one felt that there was anything wrong with this statement, in the grasslands, they were the strongest!
Even Bolden showed a smile that
“In the grasslands, of course we, the people of the grasslands, are the strongest.”
“All we have to do is break this shell and snatch that world!”
Soon after, the Hun leader on the side chimed in, and
“Shan Yu, don’t worry, this time, we will definitely be able to break the Great Wall!”
“At that time, all the fields there will be our pastures, and all the people there will be our slaves.”
Bolden nodded his head, and was trying to use this to boost his morale, as well as raise the greed of all the Hun leaders!
Just then, all of a sudden, a tiny black line, emerged from the Great Wall, and then expanded in both directions.
“They… Went out of the city to answer the battle?”
To the side, King Zuo Xian said with some hesitation.
Bolden was also stunned for a moment at this time, and then quickly coldly ordered, to the Xiong Nu leader who had just spoken harsh words to the side, that
“You, take the three thousand cavalry of this department and while they are just coming out, impact their left flank!”
“Kill them all!”
