Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 303
Today's Xiongnu has twelve major tribes, with a total of 24 horses.

Apart from the main body of the Xiongnu royal court, there are Zuo Xian Wang, You Xian Wang, Zuo Gu Li King, You Gu Li King, Zuo Da Duwei, You Da Du Wei, Zuo Da Danghu, You Da Danghu, and Zuo Gudu Hou, Youguduhou, Zuodaqiequ, Youdaqiequ and other twelve big tribes.

Among them, the wise king of the left and right, the king of the Guli of the left and right, and the captain of the left and right are the sons of the Xiongnu Shanyu royal family. Shi took up the post.

The Lan clan, the Qiao clan, and the Xubu clan are the three major tribes other than the Shexiongnu royal family. Among them, the Lan clan is the strongest, and the left and right big households are responsible for resisting the invasion of the Donghu in the two directions of the south and the north.

Qiao's is next, and Xu Bu's is next.

Qiao's territory is located in the north of the Xiongnu Dragon City, which can be said to be the northernmost edge of the grassland. Although the territory is vast, it is only suitable for grazing on the edge of a few rivers.

Although the Xubu family's pasture is southerly than Qiao's, it is on the edge of the desert, and the conditions are even worse than Qiao's.

This time, Touman was alone in the ministries of the General Assembly. In addition to the impact of severe drought and the urgent need to invade the south to alleviate the shortage of food, another factor was to deter the ministries of the grassland that had just been unified.

In order to strengthen their own authority and stabilize the command of the entire Hun tribe.

Therefore, Ziying and Meng Tian picked the move of King Youguli's lair this time, and Touman could not let it go anyway, otherwise, he would fight for half his life to fight against the Huns who had been united by untold hardships, and it is very likely that the hearts of the people will be scattered. , so that it is fragmented again.

This time, except for the five tribes guarding the frontier, Youxian King, Youguli King, Zuoxian King, and Zuoxian Dadanghu, the other seven tribes scattered in the interior have gathered more than [-]% of their own elite soldiers to come to the fore. Manchester City is ready to go south to plunder.

After all, Hun women can do the work of grazing livestock and taking care of children, and there is not enough food in this year's drought.

A large number of strong and strong people went to the royal court, and Shan Yu couldn't ignore his food. When the time came to go to the south of Qin to plunder the food, eating and playing was far better than staying in the tribe.

As for the safety of the tribe, no one has ever worried about it. After the first unification of the Xiongnu under the leadership of Touman Shanyu, the interior of the Xiongnu has never experienced the disaster of war again, and the enemies around them have several major tribes on guard with.

Even now, the Huns never imagined that the Qin people dared to raid the rear of the Huns with just a small army.

According to the information obtained, today's Zuoguli King's Court, Zuo Guli King's Court, Zuo Dadu's Wei Wang's Court, Zuo Gudu's Hou Wang's Court, and Zuo Daqiequ's King's Court can be said to be defenseless.

The Qin army who captured King Youguli's court naturally knew clearly the location of the other great Xiongnu tribes. Just in case, Ziying also brought two people who had been lurking in the Xiongnu for a long time in the name of doing business. The Qin people acted as guides.

In the south of the desert, apart from the Left and Right Wise Kings and Zuo Da Danghu who came to join the alliance with only a small number of troops because of defending against foreign enemies, the most ideal target is the empty inner court of King Zuoguli.

However, although Ziying led two thousand cavalry towards the northeast at this moment, two days later, when he had not yet entered the territory of King Zuoguli, he suddenly turned northwest and passed through Yinshan Mountain, along the line of Yinshan Mountain. The Land of Water and Grass quickly ran towards Touman City.

Although the empty Zuoguli King's court is a good target, but at this moment, Shanyu Wang's court is headed to Manchester City, and to Ziying, it is more like an insignificant beauty.

Even if it was for the sake of showing off to the various tribes, Touman Shanyu would definitely use his best soldiers from the Royal Court Headquarters to go south to avenge King Youguli together with all the people who came from all walks of life.

So Ziying temporarily changed the plan and changed the first target of the raid to Shanyu Wang Tingtou Manchester City.

In this way, the deterrent to the Huns will be more effective.

In order to prevent being discovered in advance, even some small tribes and settlements along the road did not provoke them in the slightest.

After all—these can be saved for harvest on the way back.

……

At this time, outside Jiuyuan City, Touman Shanyu looked at the northern city standing in front of him with annoyed expression.

After the Zhao people retreated back then, he led the troops to occupy the entire Hetao area, including Jiuyuan City, which had become an empty city.

However, Touman, who was not used to living in a southerner's house, did not order the destruction of Jiuyuan after occupying the entire Hetao land.

After all, all he wanted was the fertile pastures around him, and he didn't care about the existence of this city at all.

Who would have thought that this city, which was not destroyed back then, has once again become a fortress against the Huns warriors.

This couldn't help but remind him of the scene when he was young, when all the tribes of the Xiongnu under the leadership of Li Mu in Jiuyuan City returned home here.

At that time, he was either the little king of a tribe, or his father died in that war.

Touman swore that when Jiuyuan City was captured again, he would completely wipe out the nail that had been driven into the northern grassland without leaving a trace.

After going south, Touman led the army to the royal residence of King Youguli first.

Seeing that he was left with only a piece of scorched earth, Wang Ting You Gu Li Wang spit out a mouthful of blood and fell from his horse.

This royal court is really too clean. There are [-] chariots and [-] chariots. In the Spring and Autumn Period, this is already the entire chariot of a big country.

So many chariots were converted to transport vehicles, which naturally wiped out the entire royal court. Finally, some large items that could not be transported were directly gathered together and burned to clean.

Seeing the tragic state of King Youguli's royal court, Touman Shanyu, in order to buy people's hearts, after King Youguli woke up, in front of many patriarchs, he naturally promised to King Youguli who was crying, that he would definitely break through. In Jiuyuan City, the Qin army was killed to avenge him.

Under the same enemy, the morale of the Xiongnu was naturally high, and they rushed all the way to the city of Jiuyuan.

Before setting up camp, he directly launched a round of assault on Jiuyuan City.

In Touman's view, his 10,000+ Hun cavalry with high morale might be able to break through Jiuyuan City in one round of attack.

In this way, on the one hand, he can avenge King Youguli, and on the other hand, his own position can be greatly consolidated.

However, touman's surprise was that the entire Jiuyuan City was like a watertight iron bucket. The Xiongnu charged several times and not only returned without success, but suffered a lot of casualties.

You must know that the Huns who lived as nomads did not have many siege cells. What they were good at was riding galloping horses and facing the enemy head-on on the vast land.

Relying on his proficient riding and shooting skills, and his equestrian skills, he crushed the southerners.

It is too difficult for the Huns to attack a strong city like Jiuyuan.
