Qiang Qin

After Meng Yi learned in Beidi County that Fusu had wiped out the state of Chu and unified the world, he felt very bad.It's just because he has no chance to make meritorious service in this way. Although defending the frontier is also a meritorious service, it is very inconspicuous compared with destroying the country and expanding the land.But Meng Yi also knows that he is not Fusu's cronies, and his elder brother Meng Tian is not a selfish person, so he can only stay here, carefully guarding against the Huns, and at the same time watching the Central Plains with envy. war.The only thing that can give him some comfort is that Zhou Xing, who followed Fusu earlier than him, also stayed in the northern city like him, at least he couldn't make as many military exploits as himself.

Meng Yi, who was eager to make contributions in his heart, knew that the Central Plains had no stage for his own performance, so he hoped that the Huns on the grassland would send troops to attack, so that he could justifiably make contributions.But obviously things were not as he expected, because Fusu's trick caused the two most powerful tribes on the grassland to clash, and the two groups of people continued to fight endlessly, and there was no possibility of invading the border.Looking at this situation, Meng Yi can only sigh that it's time for me.

On this day, Meng Yi was patrolling around the city as usual. Soon, a soldier hurried over: "General, there is a beacon burning in the east. I am afraid that the enemy is coming."

"There is such a thing?" Meng Yi became interested as soon as he heard it, and immediately asked the soldier to take him to the watchtower. Looking from a distance, he saw a straight thick smoke rising into the sky from the east. "Come on, quickly send scouts to the warning station to find out the news. I don't believe that the Huns dare to send troops to our border." Although he said he didn't believe it, Meng Tian hoped that it was true, because this As soon as he comes, his opportunity will come.

Not long after the scouts left, news came that the beacon fire there was only coming from the beacon tower further east, and they were just passing on the news.So Meng Yi let the scouts continue to go east, and they must find the source of the warning.But before they found the source of the news, a carrier pigeon had already flown to Beidi County, and there was only one sentence on the letter: "Yanmen County is broken, be careful of the Huns." After reading the letter, Meng Yi was stunned for a while, because He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. He thought that most of the Huns were just attacking a certain city, but unexpectedly, one city had already been destroyed.But then he thought that this was an excellent opportunity, and immediately ordered the people in the city to prepare to set off and go east to fight the Huns.

Of course, he dared not conceal such a big matter, so before dispatching troops, Meng Yi still wrote a letter to send people to Xianyang in the starry night, which said that Yanmen County was destroyed and that he brought troops Go to the rescue, and let the court send Zhou Xing and others who are nearby to rush to the rescue.Then he took 5000 of the 5000 Beidi defenders to the east, leaving only [-] troops in Beidi County.When this memorial was sent to Fusu, it had been seven days since Meng Yi set off.

After reading this watch and analyzing the news from other border counties, Zhang Liang came up with a bad message: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is the first time that the Huns raided Yanmen County. step, and once General Meng Yi leaves the Northland with his troops, the Huns will find a better target."

Han Xin also had a worried look on his face: "This move by the Huns not only diverted the tiger away from the mountain and completely isolated Beidi County, but also the 5000 troops who left the city may also become the target of the Huns. In combat, the soldiers and horses of my Great Qin are not the opponents of the cavalry of the Huns who grew up on horseback since they were young. Besides, we also know how many troops the Huns sent out this time. Now we don’t know everything about the Huns. We have completely fallen into a passive position, so the emperor should order all places to strictly guard the city."

Fusu originally had a faint uneasiness about this matter in his heart, but now he was more sure of the danger of this battle after hearing what they said, so he said: "I agree with you, now it seems that if this Beidi County is a Hun It is really impossible for the soldiers to attack, and now we have to let General Meng Yi and his troops retreat to a certain city nearby, otherwise our losses will be too great. I will give him an order immediately."

Among all the people, only Chen Ping did not take this action seriously: "Your Majesty, I think the Huns are just a group of barbarians who only know how to kill and never learn how to use tricks. Are we being too cautious now? I think that There is nothing wrong with General Meng going out of the city to find the Huns."

Fu Su wryly smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. If the Huns are really as the prime minister said, we are just being careful, and we can deal with them later, but if the Huns really play tricks this time Lie, then my Daqin soldiers will suffer a lot of casualties, so I thought it would be better to let them defend the city first, wait for the reinforcements from all over the place to arrive and then fight the Huns before it is too late, it is always better to be careful." Since The emperor decided that Chen Ping would naturally have to obey, so he nodded and agreed.

A letter of instruction was sent out from Xianyang, in addition to the order to several counties in the north not to leave the city without authorization, there was also an order to Meng Yi who did not know where he was now, telling him not to act rashly.Then Fusu put aside all other things, including any restructuring and election, and began to regroup the troops scattered in various cities in the Central Plains, preparing to go north to deal with the invasion of the Huns.

Originally, at the speed of a carrier pigeon, Meng Yi should have received the order very quickly, but now no one knows where he has taken his troops, so after ten days or so, Meng Yi still doesn't know about it, he just kept going. Headed towards Yanmen County, hoping to fight the Huns so that they could make a great contribution.

Everything really turned out as the worst that Fusu and the others had expected. Five days after Meng Yi led his troops out of Beidi County, tens of thousands of Hun cavalry flew to the city of Beidi.The Huns this time are obviously different from the previous invaders, because in addition to war horses, bows and arrows, and weapons, they also brought a lot of simple siege equipment.This was beyond the expectations of the Qin army defending the city. The soldiers of the Qin army were even more surprised when they saw that the Huns, who only knew how to attack the city before, attacked the city in batches in a methodical manner.The city wall of Beidi County is not tall, and the defense measures are not very complete. Otherwise, Fusu would not have captured the city so easily.But when the Qin army thought that such a defense was enough to resist the Huns who had never known how to charge and kill, but this time the Huns attacked Beidi City in an orderly manner, so the weak defense was revealed.In addition, the number of Qin troops in the city was far less than that of the Huns, but within three days, Beidi County could not hold on anymore.

In the end, the remnants of the Qin army could only escape from the city and flee south, while the northern land fell into the hands of the Huns.

When Bai Ban led his troops into the Northland, he was full of pride: "I said that the defense of these cities is not good. As long as you follow my arrangement, all the cities on the border can be easily taken down by us." The Xiongnu beside him People nodded again and again. To be honest, they have never attacked a city as easily as they have attacked Beidi and Yanmen in the past few days. Now they are very convinced of Bai Ban.

Bai Ban sat at the top of the lobby, proudly said: "I have returned to the Central Plains again, this time my Bai Ban must completely wipe out the rebel Fusu." Then he said thoughtfully, "Shan Yu's army should have already Let’s meet that Meng Yi’s soldiers and horses.”

Meng Yi never dreamed that he would fall into the trap of the Huns, but seeing how many Huns surrounded him, he still had to admit that he had made a mistake.Just a day earlier, while he was still rushing eastward, the Huns' cavalry had attacked them.But this surprise attack couldn't make Meng Yi helpless, and he immediately ordered people to set up a defensive formation to fight the Huns.After a great battle, Meng Yi discovered that these Huns were even more ferocious than he thought, and his troops could not pose much threat to them without a city as a support. Nai had no choice but to bring troops Retreat back, hoping to retreat to a certain city.

But the Huns actually saw through his attempt, not only surrounded them on all sides, but also mentioned to them that Beidi County had been captured by them.As a result, the fighting spirit of the Qin army became even weaker. Until now, nearly ten thousand of the 5000 troops led by Meng Yi had lost their courage to fight the enemy to the death.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have led my troops out of the city without authorization. Now not only the North Land has fallen into the hands of the Huns, but even the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty will be buried here because of me. What will I see when I die? The elders of Qin and the ancestors of the underground." Depressed Meng Yi looked at the Huns who were gradually encircling him, and lamented in his heart.Suddenly, he drew his sword and wiped it off his neck.

Seeing this, the soldiers around him rushed forward and hugged him: "You can't do it, general. We can guard for a few more days, maybe people from other cities will rush to rescue you. And if you die, general, The morale of our [-] soldiers here will be completely broken, and then we will have to die under the knife of the Huns. For the sake of the soldiers, and for my Daqin, I ask the general to persevere."

After Meng Yi heard this, he woke up from despair. For me, there are still 1 horses to lead. Even if I die here, I must kill a few enemies first.Thinking of this, the long sword in his hand became pointing outward, and he rushed to the Huns army first.
