Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 336
The soldiers of the Qin army, who had no respect for the gods of the Huns, immediately carried out Ziying's order perfectly. After a while, hundreds of fires ignited in every corner of the mountain range.

These Qin soldiers had no understanding of the Huns' beliefs at all, and many Qin soldiers were even a little puzzled by Ziying's long journey to tear down some piles of stones and set fire to a mountain.

However, for the Huns, the actions of the Qin army were no different from digging up the entire ancestral tombs of the Huns, and burning down the gods' residences.

Seeing that the fire was getting more and more prosperous, Ziying immediately ordered the Qin army to evacuate the mountains.

There has been no precipitation for half a year, coupled with the accumulation of dry grass and fallen leaves for countless years, it may not be so easy to extinguish the fire once it burns.

Even in modern times, once successive severe droughts trigger forest fires, it is difficult to extinguish them. In this era, I am afraid that we can only wait for them to burn out and extinguish them on their own initiative.

If you ran late and were blocked in the mountains by the fire, you really couldn't get out.

While running out, Qin Jun didn't forget to throw some kindling into the passing hills.

When Qin Jun threw out the mountains, he looked back and saw that puffs of smoke had risen in the mountains.

The fire has started.

If there is enough time, Ziying really wants to see the Huns' holy mountain being burned to ashes nearby, but at this moment there is still the Hun prince Maodun behind him who does not know when he will catch up, so he can only reluctantly give up this very tempting idea .

Leading the Qin army to continue to attack along the Duluo River going west.

Another day's journey to the west is Ziying's next goal, the holy city of the Huns - Longcheng (ie Longting).

……

Because the time of entering the desert was different, when Maodun led the Xiongnu army out of the desert, it was half a day later than the Qin army.

The first thing Maodun did when he walked out of the desert was not to chase the Qin army, but to rush towards the nearest Hun tribe, because his troops were running out of food.

The strategy of the Huns when attacking is generally to drive a large number of livestock to march together as supplies. However, it is naturally impossible to drive cattle and sheep slowly in the process of chasing the Qin army.

Moreover, Maodun could not walk all the way like Ziying, and directly obtain supplies from passing Huns settlements, and ordinary small tribes could not afford the consumption of Maodun's army.

Moreover, Mao Dun doesn't know where Qin Jun is now, so he can only replenish food and grass while dispatching a large number of scouts to investigate Qin Jun's whereabouts.

Although the routes of the two armies are different, the location out of the desert is not far away.

However, within half a day, whether Mao Dun had collected all the food and grass, the route of the Qin army had been detected by the Xiongnu.

This is also because Ziying had no hidden thoughts at all along the way, and even some small tribes he encountered directly crossed over.

As soon as he heard the direction of the Qin army, Mao Dun didn't care that the army's food and grass had not been collected, so he immediately summoned the army to chase the Qin army.

It was the direction of the Qin army that made Maodun a little uneasy. Not far from the direction of the Qin army was the birthplace of the entire Huns - the holy mountain wolf Juxu.

However, it was only a day's journey away, and the speed of the Qin army's full attack was no less than that of the Xiongnu army. The idea of ​​Mao Dun catching up with the Qin army can only be thought about.

When Mao Dun's army arrived near Langjuxu Mountain, all they saw was a monstrous fire and rows of Huns crying bitterly at Langjuxu Mountain.

"Your Highness, you must severely punish those Qin people who blasphemed the gods!" An old Hun hugged Maodun's horseshoe with tears in his eyes, crying bitterly.

"I swear, the crown prince must use the heads of those Qin soldiers to accuse the gods at the foot of the holy mountain." Seeing the old Hun hugging his horse's hoof, Mao Dun solemnly swore.

Although he said he was resolute, even if Maodun was next to the raging Langjuxu Mountain, his heart was already cold at this moment.

I was ordered to chase the Qin army, not only has not killed a single Qin army, but also let the Qin army burn down the holy mountain of the Huns.

Even if this Qin army is wiped out now, the prince himself may have already done it.

And now he doesn't even know the name of the commander-in-chief of the Qin army.

The only piece of information is from the mouths of the survivors of the royal court, Qin Jun called him Lord Chang'an.

However, due to the occlusion of news, Lord Chang'an, who is known to everyone in the Central Plains, is unknown on the grassland.

However, after this battle, Ziying's reputation on the grassland may be greater than that in the Central Plains, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a public enemy of the grassland.

"Do you know the whereabouts of that Qin army?" Mo Dun continued to ask after feeling a little sentimental about his situation.

"I heard it's heading west."

Hearing the old man's words, Mao's face changed in shock.

He slammed the war horse under him, and then chased west.

"Everyone follow me~"

Mao Dun ran out for more than ten meters, and then the voice of order came.

On the west side of Langjuxu Mountain, that is where the Dragon City of the Huns is located.

If Langjuxu Mountain is the place of origin and the residence of gods in the hearts of all Huns, then Longcheng is the place of belief that all Huns can see and touch.

People in the prairie live by water and grass, even Shanyu Wang Ting's position is not static, but the location of Dragon City has never changed.

If there is any place on the grassland that looks more like a city, even Shanyu Wang Tingtou Manchester City cannot compare with Dragon City.

Because of the fixed location, some fixed residences have even been formed in Dragon City, instead of being completely composed of tents.

If there is a mistake in Longcheng, as the commander-in-chief, he really has no chance of turning over.

……

A day later, the Qin army had arrived at the outskirts of Dragon City.

As an important religious place for the Huns, it did not exist as a settlement. The scope of Dragon City was not large, not even comparable to a small county town in the Central Plains. Although there were some fixed buildings, there were no city walls.

After all, even when the Xiongnu were in civil strife, as the common holy city of all tribes, no one dared to attack Dragon City, which was more symbolic than actual.

There are guards in the current Dragon City. After Touman unified the Huns, he ordered that the entire [-] tribes of the Huns, no matter how big or small, each tribe send out a warrior to guard the Dragon City.

In the eyes of the Huns, being able to be the guard of Dragon City is a supreme honor.

And now Ziying's opponent is the eight hundred Xiongnu dragon city guards.

With the Maodun army chasing closely behind, there was no time to make some arrangements, and now Ziying could only use his least favorite method to head-to-head with the Xiongnu army.

After taking the Dragon City, I am afraid that Touman has to come back immediately no matter how unwilling he is. Otherwise, even if he is the Hun Shanyu, he will not be able to make friends with the people on the grassland.
