Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 147 The Huns' Defeat (End)

Mao Dun, who was in the tug-of-war with Meng Tian, ​​had no idea that his camp had been breached and his food and grass had been burned.

Just when the two armies were using their last strength to decide the outcome, an attacking cavalry appeared behind Modu.

This cavalry was none other than Rongtour, who captured the Moton camp.

After taking down the Modun camp, all the food and military tents in Modun were burned.Rongtuer gathered all the cavalry and rushed to the battlefield to help the Qin army.There is also the need to get some military tents and food with the Qin army, because the more than 5 people came in a rush.There is not much dry food on him, and only when the Qin army wins will there be enough food and military tents for our own use.

"Kill!" Rong Tur took the lead, and tens of thousands of cavalry rushed into the battlefield behind him.

Mao Dun, who was under attack from both sides, was a little dazed, thinking that these cavalry were here to help him.Unexpectedly, after entering the battlefield, these people would attack their troops.

Countless people fell to the ground and died in the battle. Ying Quan brought Ying Ye and several Qin generals to kill Mao Dun and persuaded him, "Khan, quickly withdraw our troops! Otherwise, we will all be defeated." Here it is!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Maodun yelled angrily, "Withdraw the troops!"

Immediately, under the protection of Ying Quan and others, they began to break out from the encirclement.

Mu Ti, Hu Haohe and the others also saw Ling Qi and started to break out from behind.

Leaving behind more than [-] corpses and wounded soldiers, Mao Dun and others escaped from the battlefield and went desperately to the camp.In their hearts, only the camp is the safest at present.

But he didn't think why Rongtour was able to launch an attack safely behind him.

When I arrived at the camp, I saw corpses all over the ground and tents that hadn't been burned.Mao Dun was desperate, and Ying Quan took the initiative to suggest: "Khan, the only solution now is to evacuate this place and join the nearest tribe. In exchange for food and a place to rest!"

Mao Dun nodded in agreement, and then shouted sadly and angrily behind him: "Meng Tian, ​​Mo Ernan! I will definitely tell you to kill me to comfort the spirit of the great Xiongnu warrior in heaven! Wash away today's shame!"

With more than [-] remnants of dejected soldiers, Mao Dun returned to the northern grassland in desperation.

"Rongtur has met the general!" Rongtur rode on the horse, imitating the etiquette of the Central Plains people to say hello to Meng Tian.

"General Rongtuer came in a timely manner, otherwise Modu would not have been able to escape!" Meng Tian first praised Rongtuer, and then said: "The battalion is already ready for the banquet, please follow me to the battlefield. Leave it to my subordinates to clean it up!"

"It's annoying!"

The camp of the Qin army has already arranged accommodation for the Huns who came to help.

Meng Tian took Su Jiao and others to a banquet for Rongtuer and the Hun generals who came with him, and everyone enjoyed singing and dancing while eating and drinking.

That night, Rongtour and his generals were all drunk.

Important generals such as Meng Tian, ​​Su Jiao, Yang Xiong and other important generals of the Chinese army are here.

"In this battle, our army suffered more than 6000 casualties. Among the dead, there were 610 infantrymen and 380 cavalrymen. The rest were all lightly or seriously wounded soldiers!" General Su Jiao The post-war statistics prepared by the subordinates were read out. "The Xiongnu Maodun's troops had more than 14 dead and 8000 captured, and most of them were wounded."

"Although this battle is a big victory, it is also a big defeat! The loss of nearly 10 horses in the first battle is a loss that has never been experienced since the Qin Dynasty annexed the Six Kingdoms. It is the miscalculation of the general, which has nothing to do with you!" Meng Tian began to make the keynote, and then announced the fate of the captured Huns. "All the captured Xiongnu wounded soldiers were beheaded and counted as military merit; all the uninjured ones were brought back to repair fortifications and roads for our Great Qin!"

"The general is wise!" No one dared to question Meng Tian's statement, the general of the Qin army could only obey the order of the superior.

As a modern person, Xiang Yu couldn't bear to kill the Huns' wounded soldiers.But he also knew that according to today's medical treatment, if these wounded soldiers are not treated properly, they will cause the plague.Therefore, he did not fight for anything from Meng Tian.

"After forming an alliance with Mo'er Nan, the army will start going south!" Meng Tian told how he would do things afterwards. "I have already reported to the emperor that I plan to use this as a boundary to assign the grasslands from the west to the Yuezhi to my Daqin. Therefore, we must leave a soldier and horse. How many people do you think should be left?"

"The general thinks that [-] troops are the best!" Cheng Chun, who joined the army, answered first with his hands clasped.

"Tell me your reason!" Meng Tian didn't agree immediately, but asked Cheng Chun to tell why it was best to keep fifty thousand troops.

"General! Generals!" First, he bowed his hands to salute the generals in the tent, and then Cheng Chun slowly said: "The temporary cooperation with Mo Ernan is just an expedient measure for both parties. Nan will tear up the covenant with Daqin, and we don’t need too many soldiers and horses left behind. But too little is not good, it will make Mo Ernan think that we don’t care about the grassland we occupy!”

…………

…………

After a few words, all the generals in the tent, including Meng Tian, ​​admired this joining the army.

Although Cheng Chun joined the army, most of the time he was not assisting Meng Tian in handling military affairs.Then he helped Meng Tian handle the government affairs of the counties. Everyone thought that Cheng Chun was just a literati politician who had no knowledge of military affairs.

They didn't expect that Cheng Chun was not only good at politics, but also good at military affairs. For the first time, Meng Tian wanted to be important to a literati.

"Cheng Canjun's words are right, so we will keep 5 people according to his intention. For the time being, General Su Jiao will command [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to garrison the Khan Court. After I return to the army, I will come to the dispatch room to replace it! Meng Tian nodded in agreement with Cheng Chun's opinion, and then instructed Su Jiao.

"Here!" Su Jiao got up and bowed his hands to accept the order.

A few days later, Mo Ernan brought an army of [-] to the Huns Khan Court.

Under the witness of Meng Tian, ​​Mo Ernan established himself as the Shanyu of the Southern Huns.It began to fight against Mao Dun, who was called the Northern Huns by the Qin people.

On the altar, Meng Tian and Mo Ernan made a blood alliance.It declared that the Southern Huns represented by Mo Ernan and the Qin State had temporarily formed an alliance, and it also represented that the Southern Huns such as Mo Ernan recognized Qin's right to rule over the original Huns Khan Court and its occupied areas.

Mao Dun, who was licking his wounds and recovering his strength, heard the news that Mo Ernan had established himself as the Shanyu of the Southern Huns and formed an alliance with Qin.Immediately, he was furious and wanted to send troops to attack Mo Ernan.

But he was persuaded by Ying Quan and Hu Haohe who came in time, and continued to accumulate strength in the northern grassland.

Su Jiao stayed in Khan Court to garrison, while Meng Tian led the army and started to go south.

With the battle report of victory, the scouts from eight hundred li rushed to Xianyang faster than Anbu and Heibingtai.Shejian is also waiting for Meng Tian's arrival, as soon as Meng Tian arrives in Jiuyuan County, he can leave for Hanting to take over Su Jiao's garrison.
