Chapter 16 The fourteenth round of Qin Huns vs. brave warriors

On the Malanhua Grassland, thousands of miles away from the fertile field, Qin Army chariots and Xiongnu cavalry will set up a battlefield here; in the face of war, no matter how good the flowers and grass are, they cannot withstand the trampling of the chariot's iron hooves.The Qin army's armored chariots made the ferocious Hun warriors helpless, and Touman Shanyu gave the order "withdraw" helplessly!The smell of blood filled the Malan grassland, and corpses littered the fields under the setting sun... Meng Tian held a bouquet of Malan flowers in his hand, and sang a war song!

While Meng Tian was inspecting Hunhuai Zong, the great Shan Yu Touman was leading his troops across the Beihe River, and joined forces with Zuo Xianwang's troops at Heilongtai.Heilongtai and Lanhua Grassland are only separated by a seasonal river, but it is the dry season at this time, and the river water is caused by the collection of upstream mountain springs. The two armies faced each other across the river and started a war of attrition in which arrows rained against each other.Most of the Qin army prepared food, but when they were about to take the time to bury the pot for cooking, they were always destroyed by the intrusion of the Huns.Meng Tian had no choice but to encourage the soldiers to bring enough water, eat fried noodles, dry cakes, and dried meat.When Meng Tian engaged in a war of attrition with the Huns, the rain of arrows was only intermittent in the battle. He always ordered the archers to concentrate on high-altitude test shooting, and most of the arrows fell into his own formation.What followed was a rain of arrows blindly shot by the Xiongnu soldiers, all of which fell into the Qin army's formation. When night fell, the Qin army took the arrows on the position for its own use.After fighting like this for more than ten days, the Huns finally found that such a war of attrition was not beneficial to them at all. On the contrary, they lost a lot of arrows.Reporting this situation to Touman Chanyu, Touman was so angry that he scolded "idiot" and threatened to fight the Qin army.

The wizard Qi Qicuo said: "Da Shanyu, the more you have to calm down when this is the case, Meng Tian is very good at using troops..." Touman Shanyu opened his eyes and said, "You sound nice..." Then he looked around at the princes Officials: "You all said there is no problem, now the problem has come out! Who among you really understands Meng Tian?" All the officials looked at each other, unable to answer... That day, Meng Tian was dealing with official business in the camp, and the guard came in hurriedly to report: "General, the letter of war issued by the Huns!" Meng Tian took it and browsed it quickly, and said with a smile to Ji Fengyi: "The king of the desert can't bear it at last." Handed the letter of war to Ji Fengyi, and asked the guard who submitted the letter: "Where is the person who wrote the letter? I want to see him."

"Report to General, this book was shot by the Xiongnu into our army's position with loud arrows, and no one was sent." Ji Fengyi fell into deep thought after reading the war book.Meng Tian asked: "How is it? Are you sure?" Ji Fengyi said quietly: "There is a 50% chance of winning." Meng Tian was slightly stunned when he heard this: "What, only 50%? Then this battle is not easy to fight. Think again ..." Facing Meng Tian's expectations, Ji Fengyi talked eloquently: "General, think about it, the reason why Touman fought ahead of us was because he liked the orchid grassland to help the Xiongnu's cavalry ride freely, thinking that we not only have few cavalry, but also The quality of war horses is far inferior to that of others. They are not at the same level at all, and they cannot start a duel. And the one who goes to war first has the right to choose the terrain that is beneficial to him as the battlefield. In this regard, Touman is not bad, like a military Home." Hearing what Ji Fengyi said, Meng Tian didn't speak. He was silent for a while, and then said: "Let's go, no matter what. Let's go and see the Malan Flower Grassland first."

In the prairie thousands of miles away from the fertile field, the blue and fragrant wilderness flower, Malan, blooms everywhere. During the period, it is also dotted with castellated holly barley seeds with golden flowers, making the prairie extremely beautiful.In May in the Gobi, there is another kind of warmth and beauty, and the prairie ushers in a sunny spring again.From the south to the north, the gentle wind blows and moistens the area, soaking the northern prairie, as if the gods and men are painting with their own hands, they are painted with green in an instant, and in a few days, they are decorated with flowers... ...However, who would believe that a big battle is imminent in this incomparably beautiful Malanhua prairie.

A group of people appeared on the mountain road, led by General Meng Tian.He reined in the reins of the Heifeng Sweaty Horse, fearing that the horse would trample on the flowers. Beside him were Ji Fengyi, Tian Huo, Zhao Gang, Feng Shifen and some staff members.Originally, Meng Tian and Ji Fengyi were just here to take a look, but considering the needs of the entire campaign, he temporarily decided to call everyone to the Malanhua Grassland, so that everyone can really experience the real situation so that they can make appropriate military plans.Looking at the beautiful prairie, Meng Tian couldn't help but let out a voice of sympathy: "What a pity! What a pity!" Tian Huo said, "Touman is really ruthless. After one battle, the grassland will be over!" Ji Fengyi again Give full play to his strengths: "As you all know, the Xiongnu knights are very particular about the war environment. Being able to fight to death on a beautiful grassland can not only smile at Jiuquan, but more importantly, can reincarnate as soon as possible. The prairie with flowers blooming, the Xiongnu The samurai yearns for it, I wonder if you feel the same way at this moment?" The eyes of all the soldiers lit up: "Ah, General Jing Ji said that, we really want to die here..."

"Stupid words!" Meng Tian scolded with a smile: "You all want to die in such a good place, so who will fight my battle?" Everyone laughed and looked at Meng Tian with a naive look. In the vast northern Xinjiang, there has not been a qualified military topographic map for many years.The biggest achievement of Meng Tian's rash penetration into the Xiongnu land was that they had two maps at once, that is, the topographic maps of the mountains and rivers in Beidi, Yunzhong, and Yinshan drawn by Mengtian and Tianhuo respectively.Ji Fengyi cleverly superimposed the two maps drawn by Meng Tian and Tian Huo to form a detailed third map. Therefore, these large maps were used in this battle.With these few maps as the basis, Meng Tian ordered the staff in the army to quickly produce many practical maps for the battlefield overnight, so that every officer with more than a thousand households had one.

In early summer, the temperature difference between day and night in Mobei was huge, which made the soldiers from the south feel extremely uncomfortable.In the early hours of the morning, after Meng Tian gave the order, the Qin army quietly withdrew from the position, and the Huns did not notice it at all. Flags of various colors have been planted all over the city in this morning, becoming a sea of ​​flags.On the school field under the city, the soldiers of the three armies lined up neatly, each standing upright, waiting for that moment to come.At this time, Meng Tian strode up to the top of the city, the flags fluttering in the air suddenly rattled, and the breeze lifted the soldiers' battle robes.The spears are like a forest, shining a cold metallic light in the morning light, against the backdrop of the morning glow, it seems that the cold air is flowing from the spears and spear tips. No one is willing to break the rare tranquility in the morning.When the officer on duty ordered the three armies to pass, the entire school ground was so silent that only the snorting of war horses could be heard.

At this moment, the officer on duty yelled loudly: "General Meng Tian's lecture!" Dao: "Before going out, this general has strict orders, and the soldiers of the three armies must keep in mind. First, do not harm the Huns herdsmen without reason, especially those unarmed women, old people, and children; second, do not rob them of their property; third Do not destroy their residences and tents without reason; Fourth, treat the Hun captives kindly, help them return to their homes, and be a dutiful herdsman. Everyone must remember to abide by the above content, and those who violate the order will not be forgiven!"

"Follow the general's order!" The soldiers of the four armies of crossbows, infantry, chariots and cavalry shouted thunderously, and the sound shook the river, grassland and Gobi. At this moment, the morning breeze is hunting, and the morning glow is shining red on the eastern half of the sky, soaking the newly awakened grassland.Holding the golden sword in his hand, Meng Tian said loudly, "The vanguard of the enemy will receive the command sword." "The last general is here!" Ji Fengyi took a step forward, half squatting and half kneeling, with clean movements, took the golden sword in Meng Tian's hand with both hands, held it high, solemnly bowed three times to Tian San, and then got up and swaggered to the soldiers of the three armies. In front of him, there was a clatter of guns, the sword was unsheathed, and there was a sound of clanking metal. Ji Fengyi held the sword and gave an order: "The soldiers of the three armies obey the order and prepare to fight!"

"Expel the Xiongnu, calm the people in Jingbian; serve the country, who can give up to me!" The army shouted thunderously.The horse infantry and cavalry leaped onto the Gobi in separate ways, and the armies from all walks of life entered the preset positions.Ji Fengyi said loudly: "Tian Huo listens to the order!" He called Tian Huo to stop alone, taught him the opportunity face to face, and Tian Huo was ordered to go. Also in this early morning, on the Black Dragon Terrace, the neighing of men and horses could be heard endlessly, and the smell of blood was blown by the whistling wind.The women accompanying the Xiongnu army were busy cutting large pieces of raw beef and mutton into small pieces, and then the women specially distributed them to the Xiongnu soldiers.On the saddle, the sergeants tore and bit the raw meat piece by piece, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.Therefore, the corners of everyone's mouths were bloodshot and dripping scarlet.The samurai pulled out their waist knives to further cut up the meat that could not be torn apart, and then chewed it vigorously. The morning wind was blowing, the banners were flying, and the Hun cavalry under the flag lined up to wait for the arrival of the Great Chanyu.This is the last meal they eat before going into battle. Whether they can open their mouths to eat meat in the future depends on their luck.At this moment, the most powerful troops of the Xiongnu lined up on the Black Dragon Terrace. They are arranged in an orderly manner, and the pheasant feathers on their helmets are blown by the wind. This is the most courageous army at present.Touman is confident that the Huns have an undefeated war record, which is also the basis for him to encourage the knights to fight bravely.Touman Shanyu was excited, his face was dark, and his eyes showed determination and confidence. King Youxian, King Guli on the Left and Right, and Captains on the Left and Right stood beside him. As soon as he arrived on a flying horse, the horse's hooves rattled, and the messenger bowed his hands immediately without dismounting: "Report to the commander, the main force of the Qin army has entered the position!" Touman asked carefully: "Who is the general of the Qin army? What kind of battle formation?" After thinking for a while, the messenger said, "Report to the Great Chanyu, the general of the Qin army is Ji Fengyi, and he will use the formation of wild geese on two wings, it's over!" "Investigate again and report again!" Touman Shanyu did not change his face, and his face was full of anger. "No!" The messenger bowed his hands and drove away, disappearing into the wilderness. Touman Shanyu gritted his teeth and said: "Meng Tian, ​​Ji Fengyi... dare to occupy my Henan land and enslave my people, this king will definitely let you die without a place to bury you." Youxian King reminded: "Da Shanyu, this surname is Ji It's very ghostly, we have to be careful." Tou Manhou glanced at King Youxian: "Hmph! You are right, but this king is not the king of Zuobu Guli, how could he be allowed to succeed Ji Fengyi." Zuobu Guli Wang was so ashamed that he wished he could get in through a crack in the ground. The wizard said softly: "Da Chanyu, the time has come." Touman Shanyu looked up at the bright sky in the morning, as if he was immersed in a river, where the Longevity Heaven was protecting our great Xiongnu country.Touman closed his eyes slightly, stood up with one palm, and muttered: "God blesses my Great Huns." Then he opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Warriors, it's time for you to make contributions to our Great Huns Empire. Don't forget, there are many relatives of soldiers among you who have been enslaved by the Qin army, and our only choice is to defeat the Qin army." "Defeat Mengtian, the horse will step into Qinzhong; drink the Weishui of the horse, and whip Xianyang!" "God blesses me, the great Xiongnu! Defeat the Qin army and capture Meng Tian alive!" The morale of the knights was high, their shouts were thunderous, and the smell of blood filled the sky over the grassland. Touman Shanyu pulled out his saber and waved to the sky: "Warriors, let's go—" The vast Malan grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, and the snow-blue Malan flowers are in full bloom, decorating the sky as a beautiful landscape.And Yunjuan Yunshu under the blue sky is like a distinguished guest traveling thousands of miles away, who made a special trip to enjoy the beautiful scenery beyond the Great Wall.The Xiongnu iron cavalry charged like a tidal wave, and immediately became murderous, kicking up the first cloud of dust from the horizon, filling half of the blue sky.The iron cavalry drove down the Baoci Terrace, and immediately drove into the Malanhua Grassland, entering the sight of the Qin Army.The Xiongnu iron cavalry was rushing into the formation with lightning speed... trampled by the horseshoes, those delicate flowers kept moaning in pain.At this moment, people are the devils in the world, so they don't care about the Malan flowers under the horse's hooves. Thousands of horses are silent, and the dust catches the sky.The new wind whirled and stirred, instantly turning a vast and beautiful grassland into a battlefield and a music arena patronized by devils.Immediately, the smell of blood and dust mixed with Hu Tian's coquettish Humvees, making it difficult for every visitor to extricate themselves and just think about fighting.Such is the nature of war.The semaphore on the watchtower was constantly changing, and the shield-armored wild goose formation of the Qin army suddenly separated to the east and west flanks, and nine plum-blossom chariot phalanxes were quickly arranged in the large open space in the middle.The Xiongnu iron cavalry ignored these subtle changes, and rushed forward bravely with the unstoppable flood peak, and the ox horns kept sounding, while the Qin army's phalanx was extremely calm, and the nine plum blossom phalanxes were waiting. The Xiongnu cavalry arrived on the wind, and the flag language of the watchtower suddenly changed, followed by the Qin army's war drums, and the plum blossom phalanx underwent subtle changes.The Xiongnu iron cavalry was about to break through the phalanx. On the command tower, Ji Fengyi waved the command flag with both hands, and the nine chariot phalanxes suddenly changed into nine circular eight-diagram formations, with Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, Rotate in eight different directions, with the head and the tail connected.The eight gossip formations form a larger gossip formation, and the last small gossip formation is hidden in it, and more than half of the cavalry are surrounded by it, unable to escape.There are eight or sixty-four chariots in each hexagram formation, and there are nine warriors holding long spears on each chariot, which separates the fierce Xiongnu cavalry, making them unable to respond to each other.The sabers in the hands of the Huns cavalry could not reach the chariot at all, even if they were cut, they would only be cut on the iron clad or the iron armor of the horse.With the Zhangba Snake Spear, the Qin army could stab the Huns knights at will, or simply stab and pull them. The hook sickle pulled the Huns knights off their horses, screaming and crushing them on the grass under the wheels and horseshoes. The gossip chariot looks messy, but it is intertwined. The Hun knights have nothing to do with it. They tried several times to break through the gossip formation but failed.Cavaliers suffered heavy casualties, and the Malanhua Grassland was littered with corpses.The second wave of Xiongnu iron cavalry arrived with lightning, and the flag language of the command tower suddenly changed. The gossip chariot changed into a plum blossom shape with the word "pin", which opened and closed naturally, completely enclosing the second wave of Xiongnu iron cavalry.But the semaphore is still changing, and the camp is also changing.Either in the shape of "Tian", or in the shape of "Jin", or simply in the shape of "Hui".The Qin army controlled the Xiongnu iron cavalry with its absolute advantage, making it necessary to follow the rotation, otherwise they would die or be injured.Captain Zuo, who was deeply trapped in it, complained endlessly, and looked for Captain You, but there was no trace, and he knew that he was close to death.Aware of the danger he and his troops were facing, he shouted: "Abandon the formation, quickly abandon the formation! Detour to their periphery..." However, this can only be an extravagant hope, and the Hun knights cannot escape at all.The screams of the Hun knights being stepped into the grass can be heard everywhere, and the Hun knights can be seen falling headfirst, or flying up and falling into the formation. The third wave of Xiongnu cavalry swarmed, and the gossip array suddenly disappeared according to the semaphore on the command tower, scattered things, and instantly formed a shield wall.The corpses of knights and horses were lying everywhere on the grass that had been trampled to such an extent that the grass was soaked in blood, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and the rotten smell of broken corpses.The third wave of Xiongnu cavalry was looking for opponents in the chaotic battlefield, and found that their opponents at this moment were the two shield walls on the left and right.Suddenly, arrows rained down on the Hun knights, making them unable to look at each other from head to tail, followed by javelins thrown by throwers from behind the shield wall, which was extremely lethal and dealt a fatal blow to the third wave of Hun cavalry.Captain Zuo, who was still alive, had to decide without authorization and blew the horn to retreat.But it seemed a little slow. When those Hun cavalry were looking for a way out to escape, they found that there was no retreat at all.Tian Huo ordered the horse infantry soldiers to firmly close the passage for the third wave of Xiongnu cavalry to enter, and a new shield wall was formed again, and a rain of arrows hit the retreating knights head-on. "Quickly dismount and surrender! The Qin army will take the prisoners leniently." "Whoever dismounts and surrenders will not die!" Sure enough, some dismounted people knelt and begged by the side of the road. The stubborn man on the horse was still raising his knife to clean up the surrendered.There were less than 300 knights left who refused to surrender and fled to the west.Tian Huo's horse infantry pressed on behind them and drove down the Yellow River step by step until they dismounted and surrendered on the cliff bank of the Yellow River.There are a few who refused to follow until they died and jumped into the surging Yellow River... In the afternoon, the setting sun shines.Along the southern edge of Black Dragon Terrace, the Xiongnu Legion recruited some herdsmen, and captured some Qin people and people from those weak ethnic groups from nearby to dig deep trenches, reinforce the previous trenches, and prepare for long-term defense.Some women were scattered around the tents of the Huns, looking one by one to mend the damaged parts of the tents.Some old people and children are scattered at the foot of the mountain, picking up cow dung that can be burned.What is eye-catching is that dozens of big men are slaughtering cattle and sheep to prepare sufficient food for the fighting Huns. The topography of Heilongtai is very strange. In some places, there is a deep loess layer, but there are many fossilized monster bones in the middle.The folks who dug the trench had to dig them out completely. Someone went to report to King Zuogu Li, and many nobles came to watch. Everyone didn't know what kind of animal it was.They went back to the temporary tent of the king's court to inform the Shanyu and the princes of the matter, and only after the wizard came to see it did they say with certainty that it was the legendary "dragon bone".People waited eagerly for the news of the victory ahead, but it didn't come, but what came was a complete keel. People mysteriously thought that this might indicate that the Huns would definitely win the battle against the Qin army. The owner of the big tent brought a joy, and the Xiongnu princes and ministers took a chance and said that the Hun cavalry would definitely defeat the Qin army, and the big tent became active for a while.People talked a lot, but they couldn't cheer Touman Shanyu and the wizard together, because they were more concerned about the battle situation ahead. First of all, a flying cavalry came from the mountain road in the north. The messenger got off his horse and hurried into the big tent. He knelt down on one knee and reported: "Da Shanyu, the big thing is not good. In the southwest of Jiuyuan, a large group of Qin troops are coming to our army's guard." Fenglingdu made a detour, but it is not clear what his intention is." Touman Shanyu turned over and sat up straight: "How many troops are there? Do you think Ren Xiao's troops are the Qin army?" "Da Chanyu, absolutely not, this Qin army has 30,000 horses..." "Ah! There are so many... How could our army not know? Could it be that they flew over the grassland?" Touman was very angry.After a long time, the Qin army had already sent troops to his door... Tou Manchan was extremely anxious, which made all the princes and ministers panic.The Xiongnu army was immediately filled with a sense of negativity and depression. The joy of discovering the keel just now was swept away. Instead, the nobles returned to their tents to discuss with their wives and concubines about escape. "Report—" The messenger from the south drove up quickly: "Report to the Great Chanyu, the captain on the right has died in battle, and the captain on the left has been seriously injured... The soldiers suffered heavy casualties." The captain of the capital was brave and good at fighting, and even said that he died in the Malanhua grassland, and there was an ominous atmosphere in the big tent for a while. Touman Chanyu and the generals hadn't recovered from the blow just now, they heard another shout from outside the tent: "Report—" Another messenger rode over, got off his horse and rushed into the big tent.Touman asked eagerly: "What's the matter?" The messenger replied unhurriedly: "Report to the Grand Chanyu that our army suffered heavy casualties. King Zuo Xian asked whether to withdraw or not?" , The third wave of troops has been dispatched, and it has been a long time since they heard of the victory, but it turns out...Touman couldn't believe that the Hun Empire Army would fail...with a frustrated face, he couldn't bear to issue the withdrawal order.That's 40,000 iron cavalry, if you say you're defeated, you'll be defeated... "Report—" Another messenger arrived, and the young man hurriedly said: "Da Shanyu, King Zuoxian is about to lose his strength, and asked when to withdraw the army... ..." Touman was so distressed that the wizard Qi Qicuo came up to him: "Da Shanyu, get out! In the words of the Qin people, if you leave the green hills, you will not be afraid of no firewood." Touman had tears in his eyes: "... ...My 40,000 cavalry! Could it be such a disastrous defeat..." Shaking his head helplessly, he finally spat out a word: "Withdraw..." Of course Touman Shanyu must be careful to say the word "withdraw", which will mean The military mission of Heilongtai came to an end.Upon hearing this order, the princes and nobles of the Xiongnu returned to their tents and prepared to evacuate Beihe overnight. All the defense work of Heilongtai came to an end, and the digging of trenches stopped. The women started dismantling tents and loading cars again.Everything is going on intensely and orderly, and some fast-moving nobles have already started on the road. At this time, the thousands of knights who retreated from the south poured into the Black Dragon Terrace like frightened birds, causing the originally orderly rear position to fall into chaos.Looking back at this tragic scene, Tou Manchan felt as if his heart was pierced by a knife... The Xiongnu army fled to Beihe in a panic, like a frightened bird.Worried about being outflanked by the left and right wings of the Qin army, the Xiongnu army threw away their helmets and armor, and even handed over a large amount of supplies and equipment to Tian Huo's troops.Tian Huo led his troops across Heilongtai in one go, and pursued the victory towards the Baoci Grassland. The misfortune of the Xiongnu army was far from over. When the army retreated all the way to Fenglingdu in Beihe, because there were too few boats, and the princes and nobles who arrived earlier had already occupied the ferryboats, the soldiers were very dissatisfied with this and strongly demanded that they be divided at least. Give them half the ships.Where did the selfish princes and nobles agree, they even whipped the nearby soldiers with their whips, causing a mutiny immediately.The soldiers armed with spears and big guns stabbed the princes and nobles mercilessly, frightening them to abandon the ship and flee.The next thing is the battle between the soldiers. The soldiers in the front have just boarded the boat and have not yet sailed. A large number of people behind have arrived and immediately robbed them. As a result, no one can leave, and the princes and nobles of the Huns had no choice but to despair Hide aside and let the soldiers run amok. Touman Shanyu came to Fenglingdu under the guard of the guards. Seeing such a chaotic scene, he was furious. He grabbed a few soldiers and swung their knives to chop him up, spraying blood on Lao Gao.Most of the soldiers were finally overwhelmed, only a few still robbed arrogantly.Touman Shanyu asked the officer on duty to blow the trumpet to gather. He mounted his horseback and stood on a high horseback to give a lecture to the legion: "Listen to my order. No cavalry is allowed to board the boat. Cross the river to solve the problem by yourself. The rest of the infantry, luggage, Families, princes and ministers cross the river in batches. Follow the order of family members, supplies, princes and ministers, and soldiers, and no further robbing will be allowed, and anyone who dares to disobey will be punished!" With such an arrangement, only less than three people who had to cross the river were left. one-third.But those cavalrymen who were not enlightened were not happy, and protested: "Why don't you let us board the boat..." As soon as the words fell, the partner next to him slapped him on the back and said: "Stop arguing, look at others... Everyone turned their heads and saw that most of the cavalry had already crossed the river dragging their horses by their tails, and those arguing soldiers silently drove their mounts down the river... It seemed that the turmoil was coming to an end, but a new danger was approaching, because Without fortification, Tian Huo's Chinese army arrived quickly.Some soldiers who hadn't crossed the river jumped into the muddy rapids hastily, and some managed to pass by, but most of them were drowned, and those who dared not go into the water had to be taken prisoner. The Qin army shot arrows intermittently at the ferry boat that had reached the middle of the river, and the princes and ministers of the Huns were very embarrassed.Unexpectedly, Princess Scorching Sun standing on the bow recognized Tian Huo standing on a horse on the shore at a glance, and shouted loudly: "Tian Huo, are you still a human? Do you really want to kill them all?" Tian Huo heard this, raised his hands and pressed down , stopped the crossbowmen from shooting arrows, and said loudly: "Princess Scorching Sun, thank you for saving your life last time. I will let you go this time, please advise your father to stay away from here, and don't covet my Daqin again." territory." Jiao Yang knew the cruelty and ruthlessness of war in his heart, but he also knew that it was beyond his control, so he replied: "I will try my best, General Tian, ​​please tell General Meng for me, and hope he will treat our son well. civil……" "Princess, don't worry, I will tell you." Tian Huo shouted as he saw the ship drifting away. Malan flower prairie.The flames of war and killing finally ceased, the air was filled with blood, and the fresh wind was blowing, causing countless insects on the grassland to come to have dinner.Along with it came many jackals, silver foxes, wild dogs and clawed steppe eagles.Cut wounds are the easiest to fester. In less than half a day, the smell of human and horse corpses is enough to suffocate.The Qin army was cleaning the battlefield, and Meng Tian ordered to treat all the wounded Huns who could be healed. Some family members of the Huns who lived nearby came crying to see if there was any news about their relatives... Soldiers cleaning the battlefield Silently, busy digging the grave.As soon as the tomb that could hold hundreds of corpses at a time was dug, people couldn't wait to carry the dead bodies and put them in the tomb. As a result, human and horse corpses were stacked in one pit, and the stench in the air had already destroyed the atmosphere. put them in a good mood. In the distance, General Meng Tian stood in the afterglow of the setting sun, falling into desolate contemplation alone.Speaking of human nature, it shouldn't be like this, but in fact people often create such horrific behaviors intentionally or unintentionally.A fallen Malan flower, as blue as washing, was swaying in the breeze, and Meng Tian gently picked it up and held it in his hands.He looked at this flower in his hand, and then at the miserable Malanese flowers all over the field. He was deeply moved, and secretly vowed that the war must be ended as soon as possible, so that people can live a peaceful and stable life. Footsteps came from behind, and Meng Tian could tell it was Ji Fengyi, he didn't turn his head, facing the blood-stained Hexi at sunset, the long river sunset reflected in the river, it was so ferocious and tragic, as if splashing brighter red.His mood was very heavy at the moment, so he said sadly: "Fengyi, did you see it?" Ji Fengyi seemed to feel the same, and called softly: "General..." Meng Tian said sadly: "It's just a touch of the setting sun, how about it?" Can you guide so many souls to the heavenly path? Prepare some tribute at night and pay homage to these dead souls." Ji Fengyi said: "Don't worry, I will prepare properly." Seeing that Meng Tian was still deeply in grief, Ji Fengyi had no choice but to comfort Meng Tian again. Meng Tian said: "War is merciless, survival is cruel, and human beings are extremely fragile..." Meng Tian stared at the bloody river in the setting sun. In the majestic and bleak afterglow of the setting sun, a dark and humble mountain had already appeared on the other side of the river.In less than a day, the iron hooves trampled, the chariots crushed, the flowers were ravaged and corroded, and the Malan flowers were bleeding.Meng Tian asked himself: "What's wrong with it?" Ji Fengyi said leisurely: "...Maybe the Malan flowers all over the place are blooming just for this war!" There is a rhyme and a poem. Let's talk about Xianyang in May, which is already lush and verdant.Weeping willows, poplars, locust trees, paulownia trees, and pagoda pine trees cover the streets and lead to winding paths.Small merchants and hawkers set up stalls under the trees to sell early-ripening peaches, apricots, and plums in the suburbs.Most of the stalls covered by a cloth curtain sell jelly, tofu nao, fried noodles and meat on the street.The peddlers, porters and garlic sellers stood in front of the food stalls, chatting with the diners at the door of the butcher shop, and providing them with their needs. "Great news—great victory in northern Xinjiang!" The courier passed by quickly, and the vendors just had to turn sideways for him to pass by.At this time, the sound of passing victories on the streets of the capital was already one after another, and the fast horses came towards the palace one by one.The fast horse went straight to the Wuchao gate, the messenger rolled off the saddle, took off his waist knife and ran into the court hall.The palace people waiting at the gate of the palace shouted one after another: "Good news ahead! The Qin army has won a big victory!" All the officials in the palace began to discuss and show joy.Seeing the displeasure on the face of Fusu, the young master next to him, Meng Yi was very puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Young master, you look very bad..." Fusu smiled wryly at him: "Forget it, we will meet up later I'll talk about it later..." Half of Wen Tun's words were completely stopped by the arrival of the messenger. The envoy walked up to Danchi exhausted and walked into the main hall. He said loudly, "Your Majesty, we have won a great victory in northern Xinjiang. Our army has defeated the Xiongnu. We killed and captured 30,000 Xiongnu." After hearing this, the first emperor heard He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and said: "Haha, Meng Tian really did not betray me. Fu Su, I want you to go to the Meng Mansion in person to comfort Meng Tian's family." Fu Su took a step forward: "I understand." The minister took a step forward and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, this is the blessing of heaven, the blessing of our dynasty, and the blessing of all people!" Fusu saw Li Si and Yao Jia also congratulating each other unnaturally.Above the court hall, beaming.Zhao Gao seemed happier than anyone else, very active, trying his best to hide the fear in his heart... The first emperor said happily: "I pass on the decree, the capital will be celebrated for three days!" All the ministers applauded.
