Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 142 The Huns' Defeat ([-])

"It is reported that Mao Dun's front troops have camped in a small mountain a hundred miles away from here!" Su Jiao first told the information about the scout troops.

Su Jiao's words made all the generals in the tent extremely excited.

Just yesterday, the emperor's will reached the camp.The imperial decree stated that as long as the Huns can be defeated, all officers above the captaincy will be added three ranks of nobility on top of their military achievements, and they will be given [-] acres of fertile land in the Central Plains, ten beauties from the six countries, and [-] gold coins; Promoted to two ranks of nobility, three hundred acres of fertile land, one thousand gold coins, and five beauties; one level above the corporal leader, one hundred acres of fertile land, one hundred gold coins; .

This made all the officers eager to fight, waiting for the arrival of Maodun's army to defeat the enemy and get more rewards.

"General! The last general is willing to be the vanguard and challenge Modun!" Wang Diao stood up first and cupped his hands.

Although Wang Diao is a general, his title is only that of Zuo Shuzhang.In addition to the fact that Wang Diao has been guarding Ying Zheng's side and has no chance of meritorious service, there is also the fact that he has not been promoted for so many years because of taking bribes.This time Yingzheng's imperial decree gave him a great opportunity, as long as he can guarantee that he can be promoted to one level for his credit in this battle, plus the third-level title of the imperial decree, he can directly become the right guard.

Watching Wang Diao get up and ask for orders, Meng Tian smiled.This was already within his expectation. Apart from accepting bribes to affect his promotion, another reason for Wang Diao was that he was a child of Prime Minister Wang Wan's family.Everyone knows that the relationship between Wang Wan and Wang Jian is not good, and Wang Diao, as Wang Wan's family, arranged to join the army and there are still taints. How can Wang Jian make him grow up.

A general who turned out to be Zuo Shuchang has become a laughing stock in the army.In the state of Qin, which captain is not the head of the right concubine?Even some of the school captains who have made a lot of contributions are Zuo Shuzhang!

"You will lead the troops as the front army first, but you are not allowed to fight the Huns! Your task is to set up camp and protect the army first." Meng Tian nodded immediately, and ordered Wang Diao who was still standing.

"The last general takes orders!" Wang Diao was already very satisfied to be able to get the vanguard position.So what if there is no way to fight, at least setting up camp is a little bit of credit.

----------------------

The camp of the Huns.Sweat tent.

Mao Dun sat at the head and looked at the generals in the tent.Some lamented that once upon a time, some of them ignored themselves.Now, he became one of his subordinates. What an impermanent world!
Hu Haohe took the initiative to stand up and salute Maodun, then bowed and said: "Khan! I will set up camp here, and the Qin army must have known about it! Do you want to send someone to ambush him fifty miles away to catch him by surprise? Let them know Witness the strength of my Hun warriors!"

"Ben Khan thinks it's impossible for me to ambush the Qin army so easily. It's better to defeat them on the frontal battlefield!" Mo Dun had his own considerations, and he rejected Hu Haohe's suggestion.

"Khan is right! But if you can attack when the Qin army is camping and get some results!" Ying Quan suddenly agreed with Mao Dun, and then made a small suggestion.

"Oh!??" Mao Dun's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something good.

Then, Mao Dun asked Ying Quan, "Can it be successful?"

"Then we have to see who the forward of the Qin army is." What Ying Quan said made the Hun generals in the tent puzzled. "If it was that Wang Diao, the chance of success would be at least [-]%!"

"So let's wait for the sentry to report back!"

----------------------

"How far is it to the Huns' barracks?" Wang Diao, who was riding on a horse, asked the captain Wang Wu beside him.

"General, there are still thirty miles left!" Wang Wu replied immediately, clasping his hands.

"Oh?!!" Wang Diao was surprised at first, and then said: "Order the whole army to stop marching and repair on the spot! You temporarily take over the army!"

"Here!" Wang Wu bowed his hands and accepted the order.

"Guangqing, bring [-] cavalry and follow me!" General Wang Wu took the order, and Wang Diao ordered to the school lieutenant Guangqing who was following him.

Immediately, Wang Diao and Guangqing led three thousand cavalry out of the marching ranks.

After observing the surrounding terrain, Wang Diao pointed to a piece of grassland and said, "Wang Jing, go and tell Captain Wang Wu to set up camp there! The army will still be under his control before I come back!"

Wang Diao's personal soldier, the lieutenant, cupped his hands and said, "Here!"

With a thousand cavalry, Wang Jing went back and announced Wang Diao's order to Wang Wu.

"Guangqing, do you have the guts to follow me to the Huns camp?" After Wang Jing left, Wang Diao asked Guangqing who was beside him.

"I would like to follow the general!" Guangqing was quite courageous, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

"go!"

The [-] cavalry quickly continued to move eastward, while Wang Wu led an army of tens of thousands and began to set up camp.

Seeing [-] cavalry around him, Wang Diao felt that too many people would attract the attention of the Huns, so he ordered the cavalry to stay where they were and rest.Taking Guangqing and ten soldiers with him, he continued to march towards the Huns camp.

"The Huns camping is also very powerful. Look at the surrounding hillsides full of sentries!" Wang Diao looked at the sentry posts on the hillsides around the Huns' camp and exclaimed, "I'm afraid this time it will be a protracted war!"

"General, why do you say that?" Guangqing asked Wang Diao very puzzled.

"You haven't been in the army for a long time. I don't know which aspect the general is the strongest in!" Wang Diao wanted to mention Guangqing a little bit, and began to tell about Meng Tian. Raiding the camp! Every time he led the troops independently, he relied on raiding the camp to win. The layout of the Huns’ camp made the general’s plan to attack the camp shattered. Isn’t it just a protracted war?”

Guangqing was a little stunned, but asked: "Could it be that the Huns were defeated when they were fighting the Huns head-on?"

"According to the strength of our army's cavalry, it would be difficult to charge into battle!" Wang Diao began to analyze, "But if the Huns' army advances, and our army defends with infantry, it is still possible!"

"That's all right?" Guang Qing said casually after listening.

"But this will kill a large number of soldiers, and it will consume a lot of time!" Wang Diao smiled and explained without any impatience, "Also, it will lower morale. Moreover, this is not the general Willing to see!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Diao sighed: "Don't look at how majestic the general is now. Back then, he shed tears for the first and last time because the loss of [-]% of the soldiers under his command. After that, the general began to use the fastest method End the battle!"

Hearing Wang Diao's exclamation, Guangqing felt for the first time that Meng Tian was also a loving person.

"Return to the camp!" Wang Diao ordered when Guangqing lost his mind.

"Here!"
