My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

beat?

Fight your ass!

Judging from the intelligence gathered by the various Xiongnu tribes alone, there are at least 300,000 Qin troops within a radius of 150 miles. No one knows how many more Qin troops are hiding in the mountains and dense forests, staring with red eyes, ready to devour anyone!

Unless Touman Chanyu is tired of living, there is no way he would start a decisive battle here.

Moreover, before the three treasures of cavalry were fully formed, how could the barbarians like to fight a head-on battle?

Fighting in a guerrilla mode is the Huns’ favorite tactic!

What if I don’t fight?

Of course, run!

After confirming that Baoler and Chenggeler had completed the pincer attack on the Qin army's pursuers, Touman Chanyu rode away without even the slightest hesitation!

Maodun was shocked when he saw this and cried out: "Echige was just teaching me that I should be responsible for the lives of my fellow soldiers!"

"Captain Baoler and Captain Chenggeler and more than 40,000 other soldiers are still fighting the Qin army. How can we abandon them and flee in the face of the enemy?!"

"If the soldiers knew that Echige had fled, their morale would collapse, and even a battle that could have been won would end in a crushing defeat!"

“By then, I wonder how many of our tribesmen will die on the battlefield and return to the eternal heaven.”

"I beg Echige to think twice for the lives of our people and soldiers!"

Touman Chanyu couldn't help but glance at Maodun.

No wonder you, this evil son, admitted your mistake so obediently just now, and even said that you would put the lives of your clan members and soldiers more important in the future.

It turns out that you were waiting for me here!

Well today, I, the Chanyu, will teach you a lesson again.

The tongue cannot defeat the sword, and the sword cannot defeat power!

Chanyu Touman said calmly: "The Crown Prince is the head of the country. If the Crown Prince is on the battlefield, it is just like the Chanyu himself is on the battlefield."

"Since the Crown Prince has such concerns, the Crown Prince can immediately go to the Baoler tribe and fight side by side with the soldiers and tribesmen of the Baoler tribe, and fight to the death!"

"The Eternal Heaven will surely be delighted to see the prince's bravery!"

Maodun's expression was distorted and ugly. He lowered his head and did not answer.

Touman Chanyu showed a sneer on his face, and after waiting for a few breaths, he laughed out loud: "Hahaha~ The Crown Prince has such concerns, which shows how kind he is!"

"But how can the prince think that I am on the run?"

"I am just in transition!"

"Chengge'er, Bao'er and other captains have more than 40,000 men in total, and they are more familiar with the mountains and forests than the Qin army. They can hold out for half an hour without any problems. Even if the battle situation is unfavorable, our soldiers are more familiar with mountain warfare than the Qin army, and they have enough strength to withdraw from the battlefield and then join forces with this Chanyu."

"Your Highness is really worrying too much!"

Maodun quickly hit his heart with his right fist again: "I am young and smart, thank you Echige for your guidance!"

The speed at which Maodun slid to his knees formed a sharp contrast with his provocative attitude, which caused Tuoman Chanyu to glance at Maodun again.

But with the war approaching, Touman Chanyu had no time to put too much energy on Maodun. After this battle, Touman Chanyu would have plenty of time to deal with Maodun.

Touman Chanyu no longer paid attention to Maodun, but concentrated on adjusting the army's movements based on the intelligence sent back by scouts from various tribes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Baoler tribe distracted the Qin army's attention, Touman quickly moved eastward to meet up with the Lakshan tribe, with a combined force of 70,000.

Relying on his strong battlefield experience and battlefield sense gained from hundreds of battles, he managed to avoid the Qin troops and most of the Qin scouts attacking from the east and west, and kept taking detours and changing routes, wading through mountains and rivers and heading north for sixty miles. He finally left the Yarlung River basin and arrived at the banks of the Bila River (now on the north side of Yaoliangzi Mountain on Suiman Expressway)!

Looking at the river flowing through the valley, Touman Chanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the process was not smooth, and it put the Baoler and Chenggeler tribes in deep danger, it is unknown how many people can break out of the siege.

But at least, the Touman tribe successfully reached the strategic target originally set by Touman Chanyu!

After fleeing to this point in the north, Touman Chanyu was basically certain that he had broken out of the Qin army's encirclement!

Next, whether to go south again to attack the Qin army and rescue Baoler's tribe, or go all the way north to completely get rid of the Qin army, it will all be decided by Touman Chanyu!

The change of the decision-making power in the war made Touman Chanyu look at the river in front of him with a much gentler look. He ordered: "All tribes should rest and drink water on the south bank of the Bila River, and set off again in an hour!"

All the generals immediately pounded their chests with their right fists: "As ordered!"

Touman Chanyu's fighting style was a very common fighting style of the Xiongnu, so the Xiongnu soldiers of all tribes knew very well that high-speed transfer was not the goal. Their real goal was to drag down, tire out, and disperse the enemy troops, and then annihilate them one by one at a high speed!

So their charge and high-speed turn have not yet ended, and have even just begun!

They need to seize every opportunity to recover and accumulate strength for the next maneuver. Anyone who cannot keep up with the speed of the main force, regardless of their status, will be expelled from the wolf pack and left to fend for themselves like an old wolf!

More than 70,000 Hu cavalry hurriedly seized the opportunity to ride their horses and disperse. When the horses had a relatively stable breathing period, they drove them to the Bila River to eat grass and drink water.

But just as the front Hu cavalry approached the Bila River, a barely perceptible friction sound was heard on the other side of the river.

One after another, the golden crossbow arrows poked out from the cover of the grass, showing off their beauty and sharpness in the sunlight.

“Bang!!!”

The six thousand crossbow strings combined to produce a thunderous sound, which rumbled and echoed in the valleys on both sides of the Bila River.

Six thousand crossbow arrows were shot out at the same time, crossing the surface of the Bila River which was about 25 meters wide, and whistling towards them!

"ah!!!"

"No! My horse!!!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy crossbow attack! My tribesmen quickly mount their horses and retreat back into the dense forest!"

"Oh no! It's Qin Quan! Get on the horse quickly!"

Without any preparation or concern, the crossbow arrow just appeared!

In one wave of surprise attacks, more than 2,000 Hun soldiers were hit by crossbow arrows, or injured or killed!

The sharp-eared Hu cavalry could even hear the creaking sound of the crossbow strings. It was obvious that the enemy crossbowmen were restringing their crossbows and would soon fire another round of deadly crossbow arrows!

Touman Chanyu's pupils suddenly condensed. He did not have time to think about the rationality of the Qin army's presence here. He shouted in a loud voice: "Mount your horses! Retreat into the forest! Quick!"

"Danghu Ersong's troops will expand three miles to the west and be on guard to meet the enemy! Danghu Wulihan's troops will expand three miles to the east and be on guard to meet the enemy! Scouts will carefully investigate the enemy situation within a ten-mile radius!"

"All commanders, retreat to the forest to avoid the arrows, organize your troops immediately, and prepare for battle!"

Touman Chanyu made the judgment in an instant!

The Bila River is about 250 feet wide and more than 6 feet deep. It is difficult for both cavalry and infantry to cross it quickly. There is no way that the Qin army's assault force can launch an attack on the Touman tribe from the north bank of the Bila River!

Now the Qin army has set up an ambush on the north bank of the Bila River and launched an attack before Touman's tribe crossed the river, which shows that the Qin army definitely has another main attack force, and this force is most likely located on the east and west sides of Touman's tribe.

To this end, Touman Chanyu did not hesitate to send Danghu Orison and Danghu Ulihan to lead 3,000 of the most elite Chanyu guards to defend the east and west sides in order to buy time for the army to mount and reorganize.

It’s a pity that it’s too late!

In the forest of Bali to the west, Yang Huer heard the sound of crossbow strings exploding in the river valley, jumped on his horse, and shouted excitedly: "Forward!"

"Take advantage of the victory to kill the enemy!"

Fifteen hundred Qin knights immediately mounted their horses, followed closely behind Yang Hu, and rode quickly!

The distance of eight miles passed in a flash.

Before the Wulihan tribe could disperse their formation, Yang Hu had already rushed over. He shot an arrow through the gaps between the trees and hit a Hu cavalry centurion in the face. Yang Hu roared angrily: "Yang Hu of the Great Qin, I have been ordered to fight the enemy here!"

at the same time.

From the woods east of the Touman tribe, there was also a roar: "Barbarians, accept death!"

On the other side of the river to the north of Touman, six thousand Qin army infantrymen no longer concealed their bodies, nor did they seek to shoot all the crossbow arrows at once. Instead, they openly formed a three-round shooting formation on a relatively flat area by the river, shooting arrows non-stop!

Yang Hu had only 10,000 soldiers under his command, and only 3,000 of them directly participated in the attack.

However, Yang Hu's troops not only attacked the enemy by surprise, but were also equipped with the three treasures of cavalry, and used fresh troops to attack tired soldiers. In a blink of an eye, they broke through the defense lines set up by Touman Chanyu on the east and west sides.

Yang Hu's troops took advantage of the trees to cover their retreat and broke through the enemy's formation. Chanyu Touman had no idea how many Qin troops were here. He was certain that there must be a heavy ambush of Qin troops here, otherwise how could Yang Hu fight so fiercely!

Touman Chanyu did not dare to hesitate any longer and shouted: "Send Chanyu's order! Do not engage with the enemy, break out to the west and surround them!"

"Go west! Go west quickly!"

Touman Chanyu led the main force of the Xiongnu and took countless detours, thinking that he had avoided the Qin army's sight. However, the appearance of Yang Hu's troops was like a wake-up call that shattered Touman Chanyu's pride.

For a moment, Touman Chanyu couldn't figure out where he had revealed his flaw, and how the Qin army had known his position. Touman Chanyu only knew that since avoidance was useless, he would just use pure speed to get rid of the Qin army!

Go west!

After breaking through the blockade of 1,500 Qin troops led by Yang Hu by fighting and running, they advanced westward with all their might!

After marching westward for more than sixty miles without stopping, the soldiers under Touman's command and their horses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth and gasping for breath.

Fortunately, the Touman tribe had also arrived at the banks of the Harizalaga River (near the present-day Xing'anling Railway Station).

Looking back with panic in his eyes, Touman Chanyu asked breathlessly: "How far are the pursuers from behind from us?"

A scout replied, panting heavily, "The Qin~Hu~Qu~ army in the rear is about~chi~20~li away from our army, and its strength seems to be less than~chi~5,000."

Touman Chanyu obviously did not believe that the pursuing troops from behind were less than 5,000 people, but after looking at his exhausted soldiers, Touman Chanyu had to believe that the pursuing troops from behind were 20 miles away from Touman's tribe.

Turning his gaze to the Harizalaga River, Touman Chanyu ordered: "Order! The Lakshen tribe will go to the river to water their horses first, and the rest of the tribes will spread out and investigate carefully. The scouts will expand twenty miles outward!"

Lak Shen's heart tightened, and he looked to his side: "Dang Hu Bagen, your tribe will water the horses first."

Bagen's face turned bitter. He knew that he was being used as cannon fodder to explore the way, but he had to lead his troops forward, cautiously approaching the Harizalaga River, and arranging his 3,000 soldiers to water their horses and eat grass in batches.

The entire Bagen tribe was filled with anxiety, and they looked around vigilantly while drinking water. However, even after all the Bagen soldiers had finished watering their horses, no crossbow arrows were shot from the other side of the river.

Lak Shen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and immediately ordered: "All the remaining troops, go to the river to water the horses!"

But just as Lakshen finished speaking, he heard a cry from the northwest: "Enemy attack!!!"

Laksen turned his head hurriedly and saw a Qin knight jumping out from the hillside six miles southwest.

Following closely behind were more and more Qin knights!

An old general in golden armor and white robes stood on the top of the mountain surrounded by a group of knights. He looked down at Chanyu Touman with indifferent and calm eyes and said in a calm voice: "Decades have passed, and you barbarians have not made much progress."

"Go ahead and kill the enemy."
