Judging from the intelligence constantly brought by the scouts, Zhou Xing was already sure that this was the work of the Huns, and the anger in his heart burned again: "I didn't expect that after that great defeat, our Qin army would counterattack and attack us again."

After the grasslands, these Huns still dare to invade our border. It seems

We haven't killed them hard enough, and we haven't given them a reminder that we, the Qin Dynasty, can't be insulted!" Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered the scouts to go out to search for the whereabouts of the Huns, and they must attack the next village before those people

Find and destroy them before launching an attack.

But obviously the current Huns have learned the lessons of the past and know that they will not gain much advantage in a head-on confrontation with the Qin army, and the troops who came are not enough to fight the Qin army, so after they destroyed those villages

They no longer appeared, no matter how many scouts searched for them, there was no trace of them. Helpless, Zhou Xing had no choice but to order people to bring the people from the villages and towns that had not been attacked into the city, and wait for them to eliminate these Huns before letting them go.

The people returned.

At this time, the Xiongnu troops who came to the edge of the grassland had already moved further away from the big city of Yunzhong. Whenever they saw a village or town with Central Plains people, they would not let it go. They would kill all the people inside and rob all the people inside.

Property. In fact, their actions were exactly the same as when Tiandu led his men and horses into the grassland.

, all of which avoided the enemy's main force and attacked ordinary people who had no ability to resist. In this way, the Huns really got a lot of food and other materials, and at the same time, their men and horses did not suffer much losses, which made

Moton was very satisfied and thought that his plan this time was very successful.

But after the Huns invaded more than ten villages and towns, they could no longer find a target to attack. They still underestimated Qin's communication capabilities, so Zhou Xingzai picked up the remaining people near his defense.

After entering the city, they released a lot of carrier pigeons to inform the guards of other cities about the situation here.

At the same time, he also reported the news of the Huns' invasion to the court, and asked the court to send another large army to deal with this Huns army whose strength and location were unknown. The garrison generals of Yanmen, Jiuyuan, Shanggu and other counties were also anxious.

The people outside the city were transferred into the city, and a large number of scouts were sent to search for the whereabouts of the Huns.

After finding villages one after another, they found that they were just empty villages with not a single person in them and not a single grain of food. Mo Dun knew that the whereabouts of his people had been exposed. However, the property they had plundered was far from enough to support them.

Relatives left on the grassland, this is the biggest difference between the Central Plains and the grassland. Comparison of communication on the grassland

If they fall behind, Zidu can naturally defeat them one by one and wipe out several tribes one after another without anyone noticing, but the Central Plains is obviously more closely connected. Moreover, the tribes on the grassland do not have the protection of the Central Plains cities. They face tall and thick city walls. Although

They knew that there was a lot of property in it, but they could only look at it and sigh, saying there was nothing they could do.

At this time, Mao Dun knew that he had to make a decision. Now if he wanted to get more food so that the whole Xiongnu family could survive, he must give it a go and lead troops to attack these big cities on the border, otherwise they would

He had no choice but to return to the grassland and continue to think of other ways. After discussing with Bai Ban, Ji Du and others, Mao Dun finally decided to give it a try and use the 30,000 troops to raid a certain city and rob the supplies.

He immediately left here and returned to the grassland.

The target they chose is still Yanmen County, which they easily captured that day. Although this city is relatively strong, judging from past experience, this is where the Qin army's defense is weakest. With their current strength, they can only

Attack this weakest point. Soon, the Hungarians

Nu's cavalry rushed to Yanmen County. Because they had no intention of attacking the city, the entire army did not prepare any siege equipment, including ladders of course. Therefore, Mao Dun specially ordered some of the skilled men to attack the city.

He tied a rope with a rope and used the power of the rope to climb up the city.

When the night got darker, a group of agile people appeared in Yanmen County. After arriving at the foot of the city, they threw up the ropes with nooses, and they happened to be set on the crenellations of the city wall.

Then these people quickly climbed up along the rope. Once they reached the crenel, they supported the wall with their hands, turned over and jumped into the wall.

After receiving the news, the defenders of Yanmen County also sent many scouts out to detect traces of the Huns, but they returned in vain. The peace of the past two years has paralyzed the vigilance of these Qin troops. Although they knew

There may be Huns coming, but there are still only a few Qin troops standing guard at the top of the city, and most of them are just doing what they say, dozing off at the top of the city.

Just when these defenders had little precaution, dozens of Huns quietly entered the city, and then assassinated the unprepared defenders at the top of the city as quickly as possible. All this happened in less than a day.

While drinking tea, the Huns opened the city gate from the inside and let in the Hun cavalry waiting outside, ready to attack.

While the Qin army and the people in the city were still sleeping and had no idea what was going on, the Xiongnu cavalry had already entered their rooms and started killing them who had just woken up and wanted to see what happened.

On one side were the Huns who had planned for a long time and broke into the city with high morale. On the other side were the Huns who were at a loss. Even the weapons had just been held in their hands. The generals could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the generals. The battle ended just a moment ago.

It was already doomed from the beginning

.The Qin army and the people all over the city were killed and cried for their fathers and mothers. Some of the lucky ones took advantage of the chaos to escape, but more people were either killed by the Huns with a single sword or among the crowd.

He was pushed to the ground, trampled by people and horses, and turned into a ball of flesh.

Before daybreak, only the Huns were still standing in Yanmen County, and all the other Qin people had been killed. Mao Dun was very satisfied with this battle, and ordered the army to rest here for half a day, and then

All the materials in the city were moved out and carried back to the grassland by horses. When leaving the city with the people and horses, he ordered people to

A fire was set off. Seeing the entire city being slowly destroyed in the raging fire, Maodun laughed loudly: "Fusu, you sent people to kill many herdsmen and warriors like the Xiongnu. I will destroy you first today."

One city, when we Huns have fully recovered, I will come back with the army to fight you to the death. Hahahaha..."

More than a dozen villages and towns on the edge of the grassland were destroyed, and Yanmen County was captured by the Huns overnight. Countless soldiers and civilians were killed and injured throughout the city. In the end, even the city was burned to ashes. When the news reached Fusu's ears, he first

He couldn't believe it, and then he became furious: "Well, you Huns, just relax a little."

In order to attack you, I just wanted to coexist peacefully with you in the form of trade, but you dared to openly bring troops to kill my people and destroy my city. It is really intolerable, what can be intolerable!" As he spoke, he supported me.

Su slammed the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground, making a "snap" sound.

Zhang Liang said after Fusu calmed down a little: "Your Majesty, please calm down your anger for now. The top priority now is to order the defenders of other cities to take strict precautions to prevent the Huns from repeating their old tricks. At the same time, we should also send generals with troops to rush there."

To the north, one can stabilize the local situation and at the same time wait for opportunities to find the whereabouts of the Huns."

Other officials also agreed, thinking that what Zhang Liang said was right. After calming down, Fusu also knew that getting angry would not solve the problem, so he said: "Just do what Zifang said. But who should be sent to the front?"

How about going?"

Several people came out at the same time and said: "The general is willing to go!" When Fusu looked, it was Meng Tian, ​​Han Xin, Zhang Han and Long Qie.

After thinking about it for a while, Fusu said: "It is better for General Zhang and General Long to go. It is not yet known who the Huns invaded this time. General Han and General Meng should stay in Xianyang to wait and see what happens.

good."

Although Mongolia and Han also wanted to defeat the enemy, due to their status, it was really inappropriate for them to always lead troops to the north personally. Moreover, the emperor had already made an order and they could not violate it, so they all retreated.

After everyone left, Fusu Jiuang, Zhang Han and Long Qie stayed behind and said to them: "You two have not made much contribution since you submitted to me. This time I will give this great contribution to you."

You two, you can't let me down. Zhang Han, I have never blamed you for your repeated failures. I hope you can come back victorious this time. Long Qi, although you have never made any mistakes, you are too qualified.

"Qian, you can't gain a foothold in the government. I'm deliberately giving you two a chance this time. You must not let me down."

The two of them were greatly moved when they heard this, and they both bowed down: "General, I will definitely live up to the trust of the emperor, and this time I will definitely make it impossible for the invading Huns to come or go."

Fusu nodded and said: "Then tomorrow you will select 50,000 troops from Xianyang's army and take them to the north. With the help of Zhou Xing and the defenders of other cities there, the invading Huns will not have any military strength.

advantage.”

The two men hurriedly accepted the order and left. The next day, they left Xianyang with 50,000 troops and went straight to the north.

Fusu and others thought that there would be a good fight with the Huns when they went north this time, but in fact they guessed wrong, because after capturing Yanmen County, the Huns had already retreated to the grassland. And in this

At that time, two groups of people met in the depths of the grassland. They came from the Central Plains and wanted to rush to Yuezhi to persuade the Yuezhi people to jointly deal with the Huns.

, rushed to the Central Plains with a hundred people, wanting to tell Zidu and his party, who Fusu knew about the good news...
