Chapter 140: Li Xin's Retreat
Ziying stretched out his head and looked around,
"God helps me, this is the last chance." Ziying clenched his fists and his eyes flashed.
The Huns were superstitious about the sun and moon. If there was no moon in the sky at night, they would never fight at night.
"Lu Aiqing quickly informs Commander Li Xin to lead all the troops in Saiguo to the north." Ziying said in a hurry, "Moreover, bring in the cannons from Lantian Pass and Hangu Pass!"
"Isn't the king afraid that Henan and Linjiang will take the opportunity to break the barrier?!" Chen Ping asked.
"If they dare to attack at this time, if I have my hands free in the future, I will kill Shenyang and the nine tribes of Gong'ao!" Ziying said sternly, "A family that doesn't understand the difference between civil war and foreign war has no right to exist in the world."
"Zhao Aiqing returns to Xianyang immediately and asks Yang Chen to lead all the guards and central guards and go straight to Qiyuan County!" Ziying shouted towards Zhao Cheng.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to ask for a battle." Chen Ping frowned and said, "The guards and central guards can only defend the city. If you fight against the Huns, you are seeking death."
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I will take the lead and be at the forefront." Ziying retorted, "No matter what, there will be a bloody battle tonight."
Although Sai is weak, its strategic position is extremely high. Together with Zhai and Yong, any country can dominate the pass. Maodun has a vicious vision. If he doesn't take advantage of tonight to fight, the Xiongnu army will cross the border early tomorrow morning.
Yuan, when entering the fortress country.
"I can send an envoy to the State of Zhai to inquire about the reason why Mo Dun went south, and perhaps persuade him to stop his troops." Chen Ping did not want to watch Zi Ying die.
"Loulan and Aries have not been conquered, so Maodun went south. He must be determined and cannot be persuaded by words." Ziying analyzed.
Chen Ping sighed helplessly. He also knew it wouldn't work, so he just wanted to give it a try. The First Emperor had sent Meng Tian to suppress the Huns for too many years. Taking advantage of the chaos in Kyushu, the Huns had already occupied Henan, which belonged to the Yong Kingdom, and Yanmen County, which belonged to the Dai Kingdom.
Half of the territory was under the control of the Huns, and it was common for them to cross the Yinshan Mountains and go south to "grab grass" on behalf of their country.
The Xiongnu invaded the Three Qin territories in order to avenge the past.
"After Zhao Aiqing returns to Xianyang, ask Master Han to release Hu Meiren and follow Yang Chen to Qiyuan." Ziying suddenly smiled and said, "She has been shouting about avenging her parents. Let me let her see the risk.
It was so amazing.”
"promise!"
Lu Matong and Zhao Cheng took action together. Chen Ping had no choice but to take the unconscious Mo Chu back to the inn. Ziying rode back to the palace to change into the armor he had worn during the battle with the Western Wei Dynasty.
"Is this time very dangerous? Doctor Chen has nothing to do." Caiwei asked with wide eyes. When facing Xiang Yu, she had never seen Ziying so nervous.
"Fortunately, the Huns are good at cavalry, bows and arrows. I'll be fine if I put on my armor." Ziying said with a strong smile.
He knew most everything about Xiang Yu, while the Xiongnu were more like an unknown opponent. The writing was lost, the language was lost, and Ziying didn't even know what the commander of Mao Dun's tent called him. His only confidence was the cannon left by Ling Fen.
"How long will the fight last this time?" Caiwei anxiously helped Ziying tidy up his armor.
"Maybe it will be a long time, maybe it will be over in one night." Ziying joked, if Mao Dun personally stationed himself in Qiyuan County on the border of Zhai Sai, Ziying's army might not even be able to enter Zhai State.
"How long? Weren't the Yin and Zhai Kingdoms defeated very quickly?" Caiwei asked confused.
Ziying smiled bitterly, Han Xin, the military immortal of the generation, and the grassland overlord Maodun dispatched with lightning. Sima Xian and Dong Yi were two rookies. They were unprepared and easy to fight.
What he was facing was Mao Dun, who had single-handedly killed Mao Dun from the Yueshi of the Western Regions and returned to Manchester City. Legend has it that Mao Dun had a signal arrow called "Xingjian". One arrow could reach ten thousand arrows, and it would be good if he was not counterattacked.
"Then it depends on how Master Lingfen's cannon fares."
Ziying gritted his teeth and pushed open the door. The cold winter wind blew through the iron armor, and the inexplicable wind rustled Yi Shuihan's posture.
"You...can you come back alive?!" Caiwei's slightly crying voice came.
Ziying felt sad and stood at the door of the palace, not daring to look back.
"Zhao Tuo's South Vietnam and Liu Bang's Shuzhong are considered safe places. If the Se country is defeated, choose a place to go."
"Ziying, you bastard!"
Ziying climbed onto the Meng family's fierce horse and fled in a hurry.
The fierce horse galloped, and the cold wind from the oak sun hurt my face.
Lu Sheng's prophecy of "Hu is the one who will destroy Qin" appeared in my mind inexplicably.
Maodun was so powerful that Ziying was a little frightened. Liu Bang's best friend Lu Wan and his general Han Xin later took refuge in Maodun Shanyu. Liu Bang could only let him do whatever he wanted and did not dare to interfere.
"If he died in the hands of Mao Dun, Lu Sheng would really have been right." Ziying said to himself.
It is said that a prophecy must come true as soon as it comes out. If the person who fulfills the prophecy is killed, another person who fulfills the prophecy will appear. Thinking of this, Ziying's hand holding the reins trembled a little.
Ziying bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to cheer up, "Sir, the red cannon can destroy a city and kill people five kilometers away. Let's see if Moton's cavalry is more powerful or I'm more powerful with technology."
In the north of Yueyang City, Li Xin, wrapped in armor, stood solemnly in front of an army of 40,000 people. The heroic spirit of claiming that he could destroy the Chu State with 200,000 people was no longer there, and there was some vicissitudes of life and fatigue in his brows.
"The First Emperor's worries are not unreasonable. Those people are still gaining momentum." Li Xin sighed.
"yes."
Ziying then lamented that starting from the Xia Dynasty, all dynasties had a common enemy - the Hu people. Until the feudal system disappeared, those people were always a serious problem on the border.
"Does the king really want to conquer it himself?" Li Xin asked with a frown.
"Of course, since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, hasn't it always been dealing with those who invaded the Kyushu?" Ziying said. Ying Zhong, the fourth generation king at that time, died in the hands of Xirong.
"I admire the king's bravery, but now is not the time." Li Xin closed his eyes and shook his head, "Rebels are rising from all walks of life, and the Qin Dynasty has been severely weakened. Unless all nine states in the world are united, they will not be able to match the Xiongnu."
Ziying smiled and said, "Mencius once said, 'Even if there are thousands of people, I will go.' The Qin Dynasty has always looked down on Confucianism, but I like this sentence."
Li Xin exhaled a long puff of white air, "I just heard from the soldiers that the Huns only captured the two kingdoms of Yongzhai and did not send troops to the Dai Kingdom in the east. The purpose of the Hu people's trip is to the Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty will conquer it yourself, so I'm afraid it will lead to Mao Dun."
wish."
"So?" Ziying asked.
"Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo led 500,000 people to guard Baiyue. Even if he now wants to call himself the 'King of South Vietnam', if the king goes to South Vietnam, he will at least treat him kindly. It is better to go south at night."
From the moment Li Xin opened his mouth, the hearts of the surrounding soldiers began to waver. At this moment, the soldiers were already whispering to each other, and the halberds in their hands began to shake unsteadily.
"The king is about to run away. Doesn't this mean we are going to die?"
"Why don't we flee to other countries as soon as possible?"
...
"Even if we have to cross Linjiang and Hengshan, it is safer than facing Maodun directly." Li Xin gritted his teeth and said, "I hope the king will hide in Nanyue to plot the future."
In Ziying's peripheral vision, several central guardsmen were about to throw their halberds to the ground.
"How outrageous!!" Ziying shouted loudly.
The central guard was startled, his halberd fell to the ground with a clatter, and the eyes of 40,000 people all turned to the central guard.
"Li Xin, do you know what you are saying?!" Ziying quickly diverted the attention of the soldiers.
"Kings..."
"Shut up, get off your horse quickly and kneel down in front of me!" Ziying said angrily.
Li Xin had no choice but to dismount and kneel down towards Ziying.
How could he not know that he was trying to shake the morale of the army? The Qin army lost thousands of people in the first battle with Peng Yue. After several days of recruiting troops, the number of soldiers he gained was not even as much as what he lost.
With less than 100,000 people fighting against Maodun, no matter how hard they fight, the whole army will be wiped out, and escape is the only way.
"I entered the Chu camp alone for the tombs of Commander Wang Li, Yang Duan and the old commander, and today I can attack the country of Zhai for my father's body! Does Commander Li want me to be an unfilial person?" Ziying scolded angrily.
"Your Majesty, please don't be rigid!" Li Xin said, "Back then, Zhao Shuo's son Zhao Wu hid in the mountains for more than ten years and finally got the chance to lead his army to kill Tu'an Gua. Your Majesty, you can do the same."
"Stupid!" Ziying scolded, "Zhao Wu was able to counterattack, but it was Han Jue who always exposed Tu Anjia beside Jin Jinggong. If I leave, who do you expect to be this Han Jue?!"
Li Xin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty does not know your wishes. Hu Meiren is pregnant now. Before the King goes to South Vietnam, he can give her to Maodun. After more than ten years, the King's heir will grow up and he should cooperate with the King and annihilate him.
Wouldn’t the Huns be better?”
