“Word came back earlier that they had crossed the Wall.”
“Calculating the time, if our people had surged all the way, they would have reached the Qiang people’s territory by now, and have even fought several battles. ”
“I just don’t know what the outcome will be. ”
Monty returned at this point.
He was still keeping an eye on it.
After going deeper into the grasslands, it was also more difficult to send messages.
If you are not particularly familiar with the grassland, that is, if you are given water, horses, and food, you may not be able to distinguish the party to walk out.
They can also only wait for news.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, I believe Lu and Zhou Bo, they should have fought the Qiang by now.”
“Both the Qiangs and Yue will surely ask their leaders for help, which means that within ten days, Boldon will receive news.”
Han Xin said at this time.
Zhao Lang and Meng Ten also nodded, in fact, no matter if Lu and Zhou Bo had accomplished their goals or not.
As long as the news that the Qin cavalry had appeared in their great rear was passed on to the Qiang and Yue warriors fighting them, it would be enough.
With their lair being attacked, they would definitely want to leave.
Zhao Lang had understood Han Xin’s intentions by this time and
“Bolden definitely won’t let these people go so easily, but he will also need a reason.”
“If at this time, the Huns use the weaknesses we left behind earlier to defeat us and enter Great Qin, they will have a reason to leave them behind.”
“No one will leave on the eve of victory.”
Zhao Lang said indifferently at this time.
And what Han Xin was doing was feinting defeat, and those new troops, that was the price.
It’s not that easy to fool Boldon.
There was silence for a while, before Zhao Lang continued, saying that
“Then you just follow your own plan, General Meng and I will prepare the rear.”
Only then did Han Xin salute and say.
“Many thanks, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
After saying that, he saluted and left, he still had many things to arrange.
Looking at Han Xin’s back as he left, Zhao Lang however slightly closed his eyes, he knew that with the words he had just said, these new troops were afraid that tens of thousands of people would die again afterwards.
Slowly exhaling a breath, Zhao Lang couldn’t help but look to the north.
In his heart, but also still thinking about going to die them, according to the previous agreement, after some time, hi they should also raid the Xiongnu’s lair.
I hope that all three ways will be successful, in that case, it is possible for the Qin army to attack from the front and back and crush the Xiongnu head on.
Putting the Xiongnu into Great Qin is still the last retreat after all.
____
The grasslands to the north were still extremely vast, and although the Xiongnu occupied the most fertile areas of water and grass, they could still accommodate other tribes.
Just to the west of the Xiongnu, it was occupied by the Qiangs and the Yuezhi respectively.
Located in a remote grassland, a large camp of the Qiang people, a piece of Qiang tents gathered together.
The number of Qiang people was not much, and the vast majority of the warriors had been taken away by the Huns.
That’s why they gathered most of their clansmen together to protect each other and take care of each other.
It was now morning, and the women who had stayed behind were fetching milk and preparing food, and after they had eaten, the old men were going to go and graze the animals.
The young men had gone off to war, and they would have to take on these duties as well.
And in the middle of the camp is a small group of Qiang children, playing with each other.
Those half grown children were learning to ride horses, and kill the enemy now.
Looking at these children who represented the hope of the tribe, a happy smile appeared on everyone’s face, they conquered and looted, wasn’t it for the future of the tribe?
Suddenly, a shout came from the distance, and the
“The Qin are hitting us! Run quickly! Run!”
Hearing the sound, everyone couldn’t help but raise their heads, and they saw a scout that the tribe had put out, riding his horse and frantically shouting at them.
In the next instant, a black shadow steadily landed on his back, and his voice came to an abrupt end before he fell off the horseback mountain.
Everyone instantly turned pale.
The entire tribe immediately moved, the Qiang elders all took out their weapons, mounted their horses, and formed their own teams according to their usual habits of going out to plunder.
Within a short time, a team of over a thousand people was formed, killing in the direction of the enemy!
The women found their children at the first opportunity, and those with fewer children, directly mounted their horses and fled in the opposite direction, while those with more children were left to make their choice.
Usually the biggest, healthiest boy is chosen.
There were also women who took their children directly with them and waited in their tents for the final result.
At this time, the old men who remained behind also rushed to the attacking enemy.
But after just one look, the eyes of all the old people were filled with despair.
In front of them were countless ruthless Qin cavalry!
They were young, powerful, and without mercy!
But none of these old men flinched, they just cried out in desperation to run, and then charged towards the Qin army!
Trying to save some more time for the tribe behind them.
Unfortunately, the heavens were often not as they should be.
The battle started quickly and ended quickly, these old bones could not even make a single mark on the Qin army’s weapons before they fell to the ground and were then stepped into the dirt by the hooves of the Qin army’s horses.
Melting into one with the earth.
It was just that they did not go peacefully, because they also knew that such a little bit of time was not at all enough for the children of the tribe to escape.
They could only watch as the Qin army, killed their way into the tribe.
The wailing soon resounded throughout the sky.
This time, the Qin army didn’t have any holdouts.
It didn’t matter if it was a warrior, an old man, a woman, or a half-grown boy.
Anyone who dared to resist would have only one fate.
People didn’t feel any discomfort either.
When these Qiangs went into the Great Wall to pillage, they did the same to Great Qin’s people.
The sights they had seen all year round were much more miserable than now.
He who kills must have the consciousness of being killed!
After a tall Qin soldier easily killed an old Qiang man in front of him, a grassland reappeared in front of him.
This meant that he had already killed through the entire tribe!
When he turned back, he saw a chaotic tribal camp.
“Lu! You couldn’t leave me a few old bones!”
“I still need military credit to wrestle a birth for the dolls! You’re just a man anyway, you’ve got the credit for the main general, what’s the point of grabbing and killing with us?”
A vice general flirted at this time.
Just Lu had a serious face and said back that
“You guys can’t run fast enough by yourselves, can you blame me for that?”
“Don’t talk too much, kill everyone who dares to resist! We’re going to continue to kill our way towards Yue!”
“We can’t give them time to react, humph, by the time their scouts arrive, we should be there too.”
“Leave the injured brothers behind, just leave this place to Zhou Bo and the others.”
The adjutant general on the side said with a smile.
“I think it’s quite good, although we are a bit tired, the big credit can be ours, hahaha.”
Lu said faintly.
“Don’t be ridiculous, this raid, everyone
It’s a fellow soldier, and this is still a good way to do it.”
On this journey, they were all fast and slow with each other, which was still a good approach.
They only used to fight, and left the rest to each other.
The cavalry of both sides had also adjusted to each other on the road.
Those who were willing to take risks and wanted to fight went with him, and those who didn’t want to fight that hard went with the other side.
Most of them still wanted to fight for the credit, so there was still enough battle strength.
Killing all the way over, he barely encountered any decent obstacles.
He had thought that these people would more or less leave some of their main forces at home.
But no!
Of course, they had killed nearly ten thousand Qiang warriors along the way and captured and questioned some of them.
Only to know that the Huns also killed these people in the first place, the means is not worse than them.
That’s why they were so obedient this time.
These tribes on the grasslands are the ones who obey whoever is strong.
Without thinking any further, after settling the remnants here, Lu quickly led his men towards Yue’s direction!
The battle could have just begun!
Not long after Lu led the people, just as the surviving people in the tribe were a bit puzzled.
There was a sound of horses’ hooves, and another group of Qin troops arrived.
Only when they arrived, a middle-aged man with a weathered face at the head of the group, quickly said.
“Physicians go and help our injured brothers, the others control the tribe and kill anyone who dares to resist!”
Very quickly, the middle-aged man finished his order, they had done this many times, everyone was familiar with the process.
At this time a general next to him said.
“Pei Gong, you rest for a while, leave this place to me.”
Liu Bang looked at the other party and without excusing himself, he squeezed out a smile and said.
“Then thank you brother Zhou, I will go and rest for a while.”
He was also really a bit overwhelmed, even if he was travelling slower than Lu and the others, the bumpy ride for so many days was killing him.
Anyway, Zhang Liang and the others had helped him with all these matters.
He directly found a tent to rest in, and it was only in the evening that he recovered a little.
By this time, Zhang Liang and the few others were already inside the tent as well.
“Pei Gong, after this time, we already have nearly 100,000 people in our hands, and they are mostly women and children!”
Liu Bang just woke up, Zhang Liang said with a little excitement.
“Duke Pei, you can rest for a while longer, I’ve asked those women to go and make food, and then I’ll take the men to catch up with Lu and the others overnight, so that tomorrow morning, they can get their food and continue on their way again.”
Liu Bang nodded somewhat woodenly, he didn’t even quite understand what Zhang Liang wanted these people for.
Anyway, the other party would arrange it, he didn’t have to care too much is all.
After everything was arranged, everyone left to do their work, and only when there was no one left in the tent did Liu Bang let out a slight sigh.
This time, the march was quite smooth, as long as we take down Yuezhi again, this credit will be secure.
Of course the first credit will definitely be for Lu and the others, but it’s enough for him to go home and retire for the rest of his life.
Thinking about this, he is also still a little happy, after a lifetime of struggle, after this time, it is also considered to be in a high position!
As for those big ambitions before, they were all bumped off by the raids these days, and then have power, but also still have to live.
After thinking for a while, Liu Bang fell into a deep sleep again.
And at this time, Zhang Liang looked at the Qin army in front of him with a cold face and said.
“All the women and children should be settled, these people will be of great use in the future.”
