Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 491, Battle

Li Mu nodded. A slave uprising occurred around the Xiongnu royal court. This was the same nonsense as the rebellion launched by the old and young people from the Six Kingdoms inside Xianyang City.

"Do you know how many soldiers there are in Maodun?" Li Mu asked.

"There are probably less than 200,000 troops, but based on the actual attacking Xiongnu soldiers, there should be less than 150,000." Li Xin marked Maodun's camp and their attack route on the map.

Seeing the Xiongnu attack route marked by Li Xin, Li Mu nodded and said

"These routes are indeed the Xiongnu's favorite attack roads. How about the damage to the city wall caused by the earthquake?"

"Fifty-six out of ten were damaged. Fortunately, the Wuling Cavalry was out training and there was no damage during the earthquake, so we could provide timely support to various places." Li Xin said.

Li Mu nodded and then began to think of a strategy to retreat from the enemy. This time they not only had to retreat from the enemy, but also penetrated into the grassland to allow Wei Zhuang to completely control the Huns. While Li Mu was still thinking, Sima Shang hurried in with a letter in his hand.

"Jun Wu'an, this is from the Huns." Sima Shang handed the letter to Li Mu.

"Weizhuang sent it?" Li Mu opened it and asked.

"No, Wei Zhuang. He is the eagle shooter of the Tuba tribe." Sima Shang said.

"Tuba'an? Did he send someone to deliver it?" Li Mu said in surprise.

"That's right, you should read what's written above first." Sima Shang said, scratching his head.

Seeing Sima Shang's face at a loss, Li Mu curiously opened the envelope and read it. After seeing the content inside, Li Mu's face became surprised.

Li Xin moved forward curiously, and was full of surprise when he saw what was in the envelope, because there were two things in the letter, one was the defense plan of the Moton Camp, and the other was a letter from Sima Shang to Li Mu. .

"Is this Tuba'an the leader of the Tuba tribe, the third largest tribe of the Xiongnu? There should be no one in the Xiongnu with the same name as him, right?" Li Xin scratched his head and said.

"This letter was personally sent by the vulture shooter of the Tuba tribe. You can rest assured that it was indeed written by Tubaan." Sima Shang said.

The eagle shooter is not only a representative of strength on the grassland, but also a powerful symbol of a tribal leader. There are only two eagle shooters in the entire grassland. When Zhao was still there, Li Mu had collected information on the entire grassland eagle shooters and golden sword warriors. Sima Shang promised that he was not wrong.

"Where are the others?" Li Mu asked.

"He is still outside Yanmen. After all, he is a Condor Shooter. I dare not let him in." Sima Shang said.

Sima Shang is very clear about the terrifying nature of the Condor Shooter. If he is allowed to enter Yanmen Pass, all the top generals of the Qin Army will not be able to go out again. Once they go out, they will definitely be killed by him hiding in the dark.

"Well, let him come in. I have something to ask him." Li Mu said.

"No!" Sima Shang said with his hands raised.

After Sima Shang left to pick up the Tuba tribe's eagle shooter, Li Xin felt something was wrong the more he thought about the letter.

"Is there a fraud in it? I really can't think of why Tubaan surrendered? He surrendered without fighting and betrayed Moton. This is not the style of the grassland people. Moreover, Tubaan is the third largest tribe in the grassland. He Can you give up your wealth?" Li Xin asked puzzledly.

Since the You Xian King Tribe and Zuo Xian King Tribe were wiped out one after another, the ranking of forces within the Xiongnu has become the Xiongnu Royal Court, Gongyang Order, followed by the Tuba Tribe of Tubaan. Tubaan is also a subordinate of Gongyang Ling and the second-ranking figure among the old Xiongnu faction. Now that Gongyang Ling is in poor health, it can be said that Tubaan is the number two figure of the Huns. To be bolder, as long as Tubaan unites the old nobles, he will be the uncrowned king and the real leader of the Huns.

Li Mu thought of the information about the Xiongnu that he had seen before leaving Xianyang.

"The Huns have been corrupted," Li Mu said.

"I have also heard about this. A large number of nobles in the Huns have begun to learn our culture, wear our clothes, and salute according to our etiquette. But those people are just incompetent nobles. Tubaan relies on such It’s really unbelievable that the people who went to war to strengthen their tribe were also corrupted,” Li Xin said.

"This is the scary thing about culture. It can quietly pull out the backbone of a nation, leaving no more blood in their hearts, just like pitifully begging their masters to let them in in the wind and snow. A warm house is like a dog." Li Mu said with emotion.

Li Mu was extremely shocked by Gongyang Ling and Ziyou's method of destroying the Xiongnu from the source. Such a method was something Li Mu had never thought of. A single soldier destroyed a powerful race and made them willing slaves.

"Otherwise, scholars are still ruthless." Fear arose in Li Xinxin, and he felt trembling with fear at this method of cultural invasion.

"It's scary to conquer a race without knowing it. As for whether Tuba'an really wants to join us, we still need to distinguish. You send scouts to investigate based on this defense map." Li Mu said.

"it is good."

After Li Xin left, Sima Shang came to Li Mu with the eagle shooter of the Tuba tribe. The eagle shooter of the Tuba tribe wore a Central Plains costume, a robe, a belt, and a jade pendant. Generally, important bows and arrows are engraved with Chinese characters, rather than their own symbols.

After meeting Li Mu, the eagle shooter of the Tuba tribe saluted Li Mu using the etiquette of the Central Plains and said

"Greetings to Mr. Wu An, I am the eagle shooter of the Tuba tribe, the secretary of Tuba."

Seeing that Tuba Mi's etiquette was even more standard than his own, although Li Mu had already made some preparations, he was still a little surprised.

"Your leader, Tuba'an, really wants to surrender?" Li Mu asked.

"Mr. Wu'an, please don't doubt the loyalty of our Tuba Chanyu. Qin is the most sacred and beautiful place in our hearts. Even our immortals cannot live in such a paradise, so we are naturally willing to surrender to Qin. Mao Dun He is just an uncivilized barbarian. He angered the Qin Dynasty and wanted to die. We, the Tuba tribe, have long wanted to become a part of the Qin Kingdom, but we have never had the chance. Now the opportunity is in front of us. , we will naturally catch it." Tuba's eyes were full of fanaticism when he talked about Qin.

Seeing Tuba Mi's appearance, Li Mu suppressed the shock in his heart and at the same time confirmed that the Tuba tribe really wanted to surrender. Sima Shang looked at Tuba Mi in shock. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Sima Shang would have wanted to slap himself. He wanted to make sure whether he was in a dream. He heard what he heard from a Hun vulture shooter. He described his boss as an uncivilized barbarian and placed Qin in the sky of immortality.

"You go back and tell Tuba'an that I have received his loyalty, but whether he can become a subject of the Qin State and hold important responsibilities in our Qin State like He Yangli and Abatu depends on what he does. "Li Mu said. "Mr. Wu An, please tell us that we are willing to do anything to join the Qin Kingdom." Tuba said.

"In two days, I will go out of the city to fight against Moton. I need you to defect at the critical moment and attack Moton's army." Li Mu said.

"Please rest assured, this is what we should do." Tubarmi said.

Looking at Tuba Mi, Li Mu thought for a while and asked

"Are there any other tribes within the Xiongnu who think Qin is a beautiful country?"

"Of course, except for some uncivilized old nobles, many of the younger generation of the Xiongnu yearn for the Qin Kingdom. Especially after seeing that the former Youxian King Tribe and now the Heyangli and Abatu Tribes no longer have to worry After wars, diseases and natural disasters, more of us began to admire the Qin State. People like He Yangli and Abatu can live such a wonderful life, and we will certainly not be any worse!" Tuba secretly said with confidence.

Sima Shang was shocked beyond words by Tubami's words. It is an indisputable fact that the living environment in the Central Plains is better than that of the grassland, but it is not what Tubami said. Although the life in Qin is indeed better than before. All good, but it can’t be called heaven.

"Well, you go ahead." Li Mu was also stunned by Tubami's words. Now Tubami can no longer be said to be a well-behaved dog, but a licker.

"No!" Tubami saluted and left.

Sima Shang left with Tubami. Li Xin sat on his seat and picked up the tea beside him and drank it. If anyone had good eyesight, they could clearly see that Li Mu's hand holding the tea began to tremble slightly.

"After this battle, the people at the border finally no longer have to worry about threats from the grasslands." Li Mu said with excitement in his tone.

It was Li Mu's lifelong wish to pacify the Xiongnu and prevent the people of Daijun and Yunzhongjun from being harmed by the Huns and barbarians. Previously, he relied on force to win peace at the border, but that was only temporary, but now Li Mu sees that To the hope of everlasting peace. As long as the Qin State continues to increase the cultural export to the grassland and completely assimilate the tribes on the grassland, there will be no threat from foreign tribes at the border in the future.

After Tuba'an returned to the Tuba tribe's camp, he told Tuba'an about Li Mu's request. After learning that Li Mu agreed to accept their loyalty, Tuba'an was ecstatic. Regarding Li Mu's request, Tuba'an felt that it was a normal request.

Li Mu waited until Li Xin confirmed that the defense plan was correct, and immediately decided to attack the enemy at night.

"How Touman caused the decline of the Xiongnu in the beginning, today we will use the same method to make the Xiongnu perish in the hands of Maodun." Li Mu said.

"If we attack Modun's camp at night, will Modun still dare to fight us in two days?" Li Xin asked.

"If we don't attack Modun's camp at night, Modun will never fight us, but if we attack, he will definitely do it." Li Mu said confidently.

Li Xin looked incomprehensible, but Li Mu was still the coach and the strongest military strategist today, so Li Xin chose to believe it.

Li Xin immediately selected the elite and Yue cavalry from the Wuling cavalry and led them out of Yanmen Pass lightly. Following the defense plan given by Tubaan, he easily eliminated all the Huns scouts and approached the Huns camp.

After confirming that everyone in the Xiongnu camp was asleep, Li Xin led the elite Wuling cavalry and Yue cavalry to attack the Xiongnu camp. The cavalry of 5,000 people directly penetrated the Xiongnu camp, and Maodun's royal flag He was also snatched away by Li Xin. If Mao Dun hadn't run quickly when he saw the situation was bad, there wouldn't have been a decisive battle.

After the night attack on the Xiongnu camp, on the third day, Li Mu left Yanmen Pass with an army of 200,000. After learning the news, Mao Dun also led an army to fight.

Li Xin looked at the Xiongnu camp, which had indeed come out to fight, with doubts on his face.

"The letter Tuba'an gave me told me about the affairs of Motun's army. Motun seemed to have an army of 200,000, but except for Tuba'an's 30,000 troops, not everyone else listened to Motun. The Huns The internal chaos is more serious than we imagined. Maodu needs a war with Qin to establish his prestige. The worst result for Maodu is to hold us back and keep all the troops from leaving, so that he can You can claim to the outside world that you successfully plundered Dai County and defeated the Qin State, thereby establishing your own prestige and overpowering Mr. Wei Zhuang and Gong Yangling.

But our night attack on the Huns camp put an end to Mao Dun's idea of ​​leaving unharmed. He could only fight us once, and only by fighting this battle could he stabilize the people on his side and the neutral faction. If he loses, he will have a chance to make a comeback as long as he doesn't lose completely. But if he doesn't fight, he will never make a comeback. "Li Mu explained.

After hearing Li Mu's words, Li Xinxin felt that the title of Lord Wu An and the number one military strategist in Li Mu was indeed correct.

"I am a military commander and I don't know anything about military tactics." Li Xin said with his head held high.

Looking at the confident Li Xin, Li Mu shook his head helplessly. Li Xin was his nephew, what could he do?

Mao Dun in the Xiongnu army looked at the surging Qin army on the opposite side and felt that he had no confidence in this battle, but he could only bite the bullet and fight Li Mu.

"Attack!" Mao Dun asked the commanding officer to blow the attack horn.

Facing the powerful Qin army, Mao Dun knew that his advantage was that he had more cavalry. As long as he charged, he could still defeat the Qin army. Although the chance was very small, he still had to try.

Looking at the charging Hun cavalry, Li Mu helplessly shook his head.

"It's really a lesson learned." Li Mu raised his hand after speaking.

When the ordering soldiers on the side saw it, they immediately got on their horses and headed towards Qin Rui Shi at the front. After Qin Rui Shi received the order, he immediately lay down and raised his strong bow with his feet. The soldiers at the rear immediately headed towards the Rui Shi camp. Give each of the sharp men five feather arrows.

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

"wind!"

The soldiers of Qin raised their weapons and shouted loudly. After seeing the Huns cavalry entering the attack range, the ordering soldiers in front waved the black bird flag in their hands and ran past the Ruishi camp. In an instant, countless black feather arrows shot towards Shoot into the sky.

The charging Hun cavalry looked at the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and the fear in their hearts was suddenly awakened. Some of the originally charging army suddenly became confused because of fear.
