Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 334 The Desert
"Send someone to report to Shanyu about King Zuoguli's court, and say that our army is too late to rescue him." Mo Dun calmly ordered, "Send scouts to search for the Qin army's direction."

King Zuoguli's court had become a sea of ​​blood, so it was naturally not suitable for camping. The Maodun army set up camp after leaving for more than ten miles, waiting for news from the Qin army.

Now in Maodun's view, under his strategy of spreading the net on all sides, Qin Jun is already a turtle in the urn, and there is no possibility of escape. It is only a matter of time before he catches up with him.

The east here is the Zuo Da Danghu tribe whose strength has not been compromised, the west is the main force, and the north is the vast desert.

It seems that the only feasible direction is the south. The actions of the Qin army yesterday have temporarily escaped the siege of Maodun in the south.

However, this road is not so easy to go.

The Qin army's raids to the east during this period of time have already left the area corresponding to the Hetao area. The south here corresponds to Yanmen County of the Qin State, and the north of Yanmen is the territory of King Zuoxian, the most powerful Xiongnu.

If the Qin army chose not to enter Zuo Xianwang's territory, but returned westward close to the edge of Zuo Xianwang's territory, Mao Dun believed that his troops would be able to catch up with this Qin army in the shortest time by relying on their familiarity with the grassland.

From Mao Dun's point of view, this Qin army will definitely choose to venture through King Zuoxian's territory or go back west.

After all, these two roads seem to have a glimmer of hope.

"Forgive your cunning, but you will never escape from my grasp." Mao Dun thought to himself.

At this moment, Yiqina suddenly asked to see him outside the tent.

"But there is news about Qin Jun?"

Mao Dun asked confidently.

However, Yi Qi's next sentence made Mo Dun throw away the milk wine in his hand.

"Our military spies have discovered the traces of the Qin army, and this Qin army is fleeing north."

"Which direction are you talking about?" Mao Dun thought he had heard wrong, got up and asked again.

After Yiqina answered again, Mao Dun sat down in a daze.

"How could it be the north? Is the Qin army capable of crossing the desert?" Mao Dun muttered to himself.

"In the past, the southerners would naturally not be able to cross the desert, but it's hard to say whether this Qin army can cross the desert." Yiqina continued: "And..."

"And what?"

Yiqina hesitated for a while and replied: "According to the report from the spies, the speed of this Qin army is suddenly much faster, not even a bit slower than the speed of our elite army.

When they saw the smoke and dust of the Qin army galloping in the distance, they had to drive their horses with all their strength to keep up. "

This time, Yiqina even felt a little bit of regret for surrendering to Modun so early.

Now it seems that this Qin army is not so easy to deal with, but Prince Maodun made an oath in front of all the patriarchs that he would give up his position if he could not destroy this Qin army.

If this is the case, what is the use of following Maodun by yourself, but at that time he swore to the gods to follow Maodun, and now it is useless to regret it.

Yiqina's words made Maodun feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave at this time.

He really didn't expect that this Qin army would dare to cross the desert towards the north.

You must know that the desert that stretches for hundreds of miles cannot be easily crossed.

And once the Qin army crossed the desert, it would be a completely new space. It was the place where the Huns originated. Not only were there several royal courts of the Huns, but also the Dragon Court of the Huns was there.

The Dragon Court is no different from the Wang Court. The Wang Court is just the residence of Shan Yu and the tribal leaders who have been named kings. This residence can be changed, and it moves with the water and plants every year. It can be said that the secular authority lies.

For the Huns, the Dragon Court is a symbol of religious authority, and it is a place where the Huns worship gods and ancestors every year.

It is the belief of all Huns.

However, all the tribes and Longting in Mobei now have a common characteristic, that is, they are extremely empty, and all the troops have been drawn to the front by Touman.

Just like the royal court of King Zuoguli that had just been destroyed.

After all, all the Huns take it for granted that Mobei, the place of origin, is a region protected by the gods, and no enemy can enter, let alone the southerners who are not good at driving.

So at the beginning, Mao Dun didn't think in this direction at all.

Now that the deal is done, Mao Dun realized the seriousness of the matter.

At the same time, Ziying had already set foot on the edge of the desert, and the question he was thinking about was-how to return to the Central Plains after going to Mobei.

After all, it is thousands of miles away from Qin State, and has already entered the rear of the Huns.

There is no concern about whether it can attract the Hun army to return to Ziying. How to return after the destruction is the question that Ziying thinks about.

Although the vast desert is boundless Gobi wasteland at a glance, it does not mean that human beings cannot stop at all. If it is impossible to cross Touman, it is impossible to establish the Xiongnu Empire across both sides of the Gobi.

In fact, there are still some water sources and some tenacious bushes in the area near the mountains on the Gobi. As long as you know the location of the water sources along the way, it is relatively safe to cross the Gobi.

Ziying, who took over dozens of tribes of the Huns, had naturally found out several route maps for crossing the desert, and compared them with each other, he had chosen the safest route.

This is also where Ziying dared to lead the five hundred Qin troops across the desert.

Now the desert we see on the map is just so small, as if it can be crossed in a very short time. Ziying also traveled to the desert in his previous life.

However, only when Ziying really started to cross the desert did he understand the difficulty of crossing the desert in this era.

Not to mention anything else, the changeable climate in one day caused Qin Jun to suffer a lot. Since it was the first time for Qin Jun to cross the desert, the person who knows the most about the desert here is probably that he once visited it in a tourist bus in his previous life. Children of the desert.

When the Qin army finally took a look at the edge of the grassland on the fifth day, all the people and horses had become standard "killing horses".

The image of these 500 people is now like five hundred sharp brothers.

Ziying trembled a little at the thought that if he wanted to go back, he would have to cross the desert again.

The most urgent task is to quickly find a Hun tribe and ask about the distribution of tribes in Mobei, so as not to wander around on the Mobei grassland with black hair.

Although the tribes in the southern part of the desert have a route across the desert, the distribution of the tribes in the southern part of the desert is unclear.

Where there is water, people will naturally live. This is even more reasonable on the grassland. At the end of Ziying's route out of the desert, there is a winding stream. And up.

……

At this time, Mao Dun in the desert had completely lost the direction of the Qin army. As the prince of the Huns, he naturally had a route across the desert.

However, there is more than one route across the desert, and the sandstorms in the desert will wipe away the traces of people walking in a short while, who knows which route Ziying took.

Moreover, even the Huns in the desert did not dare to deviate from the route to find the Qin army.

Once you deviate from your direction in the desert, there is no other choice but death.
