Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 233 The grassland has been destroyed, and we will return to Qin tomorrow!
The sky gradually darkened, and the entire grassland was shrouded in gray.

After several days of fighting, countless soldiers and herdsmen had reached their physical limit. Looking at the piles of corpses of foreigners in front of them, countless herdsmen breathed a long sigh of relief. With the extermination of the Yueshi and Xiongnu, the war lasted for tens or hundreds of years. The life of slavery was finally freed.

Countless herdsmen were all happy and excited, and even their inner feelings towards the Qin army coming from the Central Plains had undergone tremendous changes from this moment on, and they had a new understanding of the Qin State.

These herdsmen live in the grasslands and graze endlessly all day long. In the past, they only knew that the officers and soldiers of the Qin army were like wolves and tigers.

Now it seems that although the strength of this Qin army is brave and powerful, it is not so cruel. It is many times better than these grassland aliens.

As night fell, the hundreds of thousands of Yuezhi and Xiongnu corpses in the Yuezhi camp were swept away by the surrendered herdsmen and the remaining Qin army soldiers. The entire grassland fell into a quiet and harmonious atmosphere. Countless herdsmen and soldiers They lit a bonfire and sat together, enjoying the hard-won peace.

A herdsman took out the machete he carried, turned around, cut off a large piece of meat from a slaughtered lamb behind him, and threaded it on the wooden stick in his hand. His eyes were full of excitement and he said:

"I never dreamed that one day we slaves would be free, let alone that the three tribes of the Yuezhi, Xiongnu and Qiang, who had dominated the grasslands for decades, would one day be exterminated."

Another herdsman nodded, his face full of excitement: "Don't talk about you, I am afraid that even the three chiefs of their clans did not expect that they would die in the hands of the Qin army. Even the Xiongnu and Yuezhi clan could not defeat this army together. Supporting the Qin army, it can be seen that the strength of the Qin State is no longer what it used to be. After this battle, tens of thousands of war horses were captured from the grasslands. I am afraid that the Qin State will soon train an invincible cavalry."

"Right now, the three most powerful tribes on the grassland have been wiped out. There is no tribe in the entire grassland that can stop the Qin army from attacking the grassland. The entire grassland will soon belong to this Qin army."

"Haven't you heard? This time the Qin army came to attack the grassland not to occupy the grassland. Their goal this time was to seize the supplies on the grassland. Now the three strongest tribes have been destroyed, and the supplies have also been obtained. By now, the grassland has no value left for them.”

"No way! The grassland is almost overturned, and this Qin army is leaving? What will we herdsmen do if they leave?"

"Yes, once they leave, other small tribes on the grassland will definitely take advantage of this to scramble for land, cattle, sheep and horses, supplies and other things of value to them, including us herdsmen. When the time comes, we will Will fall into the hands of these tribes again and be enslaved again.”

"I don't want to live in such a day where I will never see my future. These days, I follow the Qin army on the grasslands to kill foreigners. Although I live in fear every day, I feel very motivated, for my family and for survival. And if the Qin army really wants to return to the Qin Kingdom, then I will follow them to the death. Only in this way can I get rid of other alien races in the grassland and give my family a better and safer life."

Just as everyone was discussing, there was a rapid roar not far away, and the ground trembled again.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and they all put down what they were doing, and took out the scimitar they carried with them. There was no sign of retreat in their eyes, and they were surprised in their hearts.

what happened?

Enemy attack?

The Yuezhi and Xiongnu clans have been wiped out. Which tribe dares to come now? Isn't this a death wish?
Under the moonlight, a cavalryman holding a flag slowly appeared on the grassland in the distance.

Then, two, three...

Ten people, hundreds of people...

In less than a moment, a team of tens of thousands of people appeared in everyone's sight. Through the moonlight, they could be vaguely seen wearing red and black armor, and there were even thousands of soldiers riding white horses following behind.

As the army got closer and closer, everyone gradually saw clearly the words written on the flag in the hands of the leading flag soldier.

"Qin!"

A herdsman who knew the word Qin immediately put down the machete in his hand, an excited expression appeared on his face, and he cheered and shouted: "It's the Qin Army!"

"The army is back!" "The soldiers who hunted the Yuezhi and the Huns are back!"

After the words fell, all the herdsmen put away their machetes and cheered loudly together. Some herdsmen even danced around the bonfire excitedly.

For a time, cheers resounded throughout the Yuezhi camp.

Yingjun, who was resting in the king's tent, was awakened by the cheers.

Since entering the territory of the Yuezhi clan, he has not had a good rest for a day, and his whole body is tense.

You must know that the army has been facing a crisis of food and grass. If this war cannot be resolved quickly and is consumed by the aliens, it will be tantamount to a slow death when the food and grass are exhausted.

Therefore, they could only take advantage of the night attack to disrupt the formations of the two tribes and not give them time to react. In this way, they could only confront the Qin army from the front, and this was exactly what Yingjun wanted to see.

Ying Jun listened to the cheers outside, with a smile of relief on his lips, then a cold light flashed in his eyes, he looked up and said coldly outside the tent:
"Now that the grassland is over, the next one is..."

"Zhao Kingdom!"

Yan Da ran in from outside with a face full of joy, walked up to Ying Jun and said, "My lord, General Zhao and General Li Cunxiao are back."

After the words fell, Zhao Yun and Li Cunxiao walked in from the outside. Each of them held a bloody head in their hands. They knelt on the ground and said in unison: "At last, I will see my lord. The alien deserters have been wiped out. Only A few foreigners hurriedly fled the grassland and went to the west."

Ying Jun looked at the bloody heads in the hands of the two men, which were the heads of Kemu Khan, the leader of the Yue clan, and Man Shanyu, the head of the Xiongnu clan. He nodded slightly, waved to the two of them and said, "Everyone, get up!"

"The victory in this battle is the credit of all of you. When you return to Qin, you will definitely be promoted to a higher rank according to your respective achievements."

Zhao Yun and Li Cunxiao quickly bowed their heads and said: "Thank you, Lord!"

The two stood up slowly and handed the head in their hands to a soldier behind them.

The soldier took the head and turned around and walked out.

Not even a moment after the head was taken out of the royal tent, the noise of herdsmen came again from outside the tent.

Ying Jun looked at the two men with eyes full of relief, and then said: "Zhao Yun, Li Cunxiao ordered you two to lead the soldiers to continue the campaign on the grassland, annihilate other small tribes such as the Yuezhi, Xiongnu, and Donghu, and remove all supplies on the grassland. Transport them back to Qin."

"Ten days later, we will return to Qin with our army!"

Zhao Yun and Li Cunxiao looked at each other, both confused, and then said in unison: "The last general takes orders!"

Ying Jun then looked at Yan Da and said calmly: "General Yan, you will bring [-] golden fire cavalry with me tomorrow to return to Qin for reinforcements!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun then stepped forward and asked, "My lord, why are you in such a hurry to return to Qin? Could it be that the six countries have noticed it?"

Yingjun nodded and glanced at Yan Da.

Yan Da suddenly understood and informed Zhao Yun and Li Cunxiao of the matter word for word.
