Chapter 299: Eunuchs are the country

At night, bonfires decorate the grassland, like the stars in the sky, shining and dazzling.

The old Shang Shanyu's order to attack Lintao tomorrow has been issued, and it will undoubtedly be a fierce battle. For the Xiongnu who are not good at sieging cities, the cities of the southern farming people have always been a nightmare that cannot be dissipated in their hearts.

After all, with the rammed earth wall of the Great Wall, it is still a bit troublesome to enter the cavalry. An important pass like Lintao will definitely be guarded by Qin.

However, they did not express any dissatisfaction with the Shanyu's order. Taking down Lintao City is no longer Jizhu's wish, it is the idea of ​​all the Huns.

Tomorrow is tomorrow's business. Let's have a good meal tonight. With this idea, the Huns shared the snatched food as if they were at their own home.

Even their war horses were like this, happily gnawing on the tender grass leaves and scattered black beans on the ground.

At this time, they were completely unaware that the danger had arrived.

After drinking enough, the Huns who had been tired for a day gradually snoring like thunder. In the middle of the night, a Hun cavalry suddenly jumped up with his stomach covering his stomach, and then another one, another one-.

“Not good, the food is toxic!”

The strong man who made this scream was the one who shot the old shepherd with an arrow. At this time, he had no heroic spirit during the day. After excreting dirt one after another, the strong man with strong arms and flesh was already trembling with his legs and could hardly stand still.

Not only soldiers, but even the Huns' war horses were neighing, and the horse's hips were even more dirty and stinky, and from time to time, a stream of juice flowed out.

Not only is the croton that makes people diarrhea, but it also penetrates poisonous weeds that cause death. After this grass is mixed with croton, the toxicity will be delayed, but it will be too late to treat it when it is discovered.

"What, three hundred soldiers died of poisoning, and more than two hundred war horses. Damn, what's going on?" In the early morning, Ji Zhu's face turned pale with anger after getting the losses collected from below.

These three hundred people were nothing in the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu army, but they died inexplicably before fighting with the Qin people. The blow to the morale of the army was undoubtedly fatal. Ji Zhu was not brainless. He could imagine how frightened the soldiers of various tribes would be when they heard that the food they ate was poisonous.

"The Great Chanyu, born of heaven and earth, and the sun and moon, used the Qin people to poison the three evil methods, which meant that they could not think of any other way to stop our army's advancement. Therefore, their subordinates thought that we must not lose morale for temporary losses. What the Great Chanyu had to do now is to issue orders quickly, defeat the Qin northern legion, and take down Lintao City."

"Bank of China said, how are the tasks assigned to you?" Ji Zhou asked with anger and said trustworthy to the Bank of China.

After this period of contact, Ji Zhu showed great importance to the Bank of China's saying that such a "talent" was very important. It can be said that as a foreigner, the Bank of China said that he obtained what he needed from the Xiongnu Chanyu.

"Don't worry, the people in Lintao City have been arranged. As soon as our army arrives, we will cooperate inside and outside to completely annihilate the Qin people in one fell swoop."

When he said this, the cruel and crazy pleasure appeared in the eyes of Zhongxing, as if the people in Lintao City were irreconcilable enemies like him.

"Okay, great. Zhongxing said that if Lintao City is successfully captured, you will be the national commander of my Great Huns." Ji Xiang stood up and nodded to Zhongxing with an admiring look.

The national teacher is actually just a vain honor. In the Xiongnu, a place where bloodline and strength are valued, there is not much real power. Of course, if he can get the favor of the Shanyu, this national teacher will be enough to allow the Bank of China to gain the status and power he longs for a long time. All this will be based on the fact that the Shanyu believed in him.

"I thank you for the promotion of the Great Shanyu. I, the Bank of China, said that I must be afraid to do my best to serve the Great Shanyu." Surprise and madness appeared in the eyes of the Street of China. As a eunuch, he had lost the dignity of a man, and now all he could pursue was power and status.

Qin Gou, I will make you pay the price.

To put it in detail, the reason why the Bank of China hates Qin in the south so much is his former identity. Before Zhao Gao lost power, the Bank of China said it was an important secret in the Yan land. If Zhao Gao had successfully taken power, the Bank of China said that it was likely to return to Xianyang to become Zhao Gao's right-hand man, or even succeed him.

Unfortunately, because of Fu Ge's military operation against Guanzhong, Zhao Gao quickly lost his power. Without Zhao Gao, the master of the Bank of China said that there was no hope in Qin.

The Bank of China said it was clear that Qin State is now losing its imperial power, and the one in power is a group of soldiers headed by Fu Ge. Without the protection of imperial power, a eunuch like him will never be able to obtain the status and power that he dreamed of. In this regard, Zhao Gao is a living example.

As soon as Emperor First Emperor died, Zhao Gao, who was dependent on him, was beheaded in less than two years.

In the south, in Qin State, Zhongxing said that there was no hope. All he had was to defect to the Xiongnu, the most powerful enemy of Qin State, and to help the Xiongnu, the Shanyu, who helped the Xiongnu, become the overlord of the world like Qin Shihuang.

For this purpose, he would like to suggest to the Shanyu that the Huns should not change their customs and like clothing and food from the Southern Dynasties. He also wanted to let the Huns see that the Southern Dynasties' trousers were ready-made clothes and pants, and if they were worn on them and rode horses in the weeds and thorns, the clothes and pants would be broken and damaged. In addition, the food from the Southern Dynasties was not as convenient and delicious as the milk and milk of the Huns.

Lintao City.

The flags of the Northern Legion were still rustling on the city tower, and the soldiers waiting for the battle on the city walls showed that Yang Wengzi had mobilized all the power he could command to guard the city, with a total of 6,156 brave soldiers of the Northern Legion.

The total number of Northern Legion is less than 30,000. In addition to Lintao, there are also many key passes such as Henan Sai, Fushi, and Jiuyuan that need to be guarded. It is already the limit that Yang Wengzi can gather nearly one-quarter of his troops in Lintao.

The general's mansion was busy.

In contrast to the solemn expression on Yang Wengzi's face, the young staff members were full of excitement. They were finally going to fight and the opportunity to make achievements has come.

Over the years, we have watched the friendly troops who went south to suppress the rebellion and sang loudly all the way, but these young generals were so irresistible that for soldiers, they could only wait for seniority without war, and this life was very difficult.

"General Yang, Shuai Fu sent someone to repay him. General Li's cavalry has entered the Sanfu area north of Xianyang and will arrive in Lintao in about two days."

Upon hearing this news, Yang Wengzi nodded with satisfaction. Since Yongqiu received Yang Wengzi's warning message, Li Lie's cavalry has been on a starry night and can reach the Sanfu within three days. Yang Wengzi is still quite confident about Li Lie's cavalry combat power. This army, which was born in the Northern Legion, inherited the advantages of its predecessor and added a bit of tenacious fighting spirit. Such a team is fully capable of competing with the Hun cavalry in field battles.

Yang Wengzi believed that he had more than 6,000 elite troops in his hands to resist the Huns for two days. After all, in order to defend Lintao City, he had ordered his soldiers to strengthen the city wall overnight. It would be difficult for the Huns who did not have good siege equipment to enter the city.

However, Yang Wengzi did not expect that what caused Lintao City to be in danger was not the dull siege equipment, but the Xiongnu spies who were mixed into the city.

Although the measures to relocate Hetao herders allowed the grazing people to escape a disaster, the Xiongnu's meticulous work also allowed the Xiongnu to take advantage of this chaos to enter the pass.

In places like the border, the Qin people, the Xiongnu people, the Yuezhi people, the Lou Annoying people, and the Aries people were mixed together. After they lived together for generations, it was difficult to distinguish based on their appearance alone.

On July 5, the fourth year of the Xinyuan period of the Great Qin Dynasty, early in the morning.

A few stars in the sky were still hanging high and did not leave. The cool breeze blew in the morning in early summer outside the border, which made the soldiers standing on the city shiver.

"Who?" Suddenly, a soldier who was anxious to pee saw a few black shadows shaking at the city gate, and he immediately shouted in shock.

Whoosh-!

The answer to him was an accurate sharp arrow. The feather cluster at the tail showed that it was a short arrow of the Huns. The little Jie soldier who was caught in the arrow screamed and fell heavily from the high city wall. After only the sound of the pike was heard, there was no more noise.

"There are spies!"

It was not until the scream that the soldiers guarding this section woke up from their dizziness. The shouts immediately sounded at the top of the city, and the torch that had just been extinguished was ignited again. This time, the place where the light shone was no longer outside the city, but in the dark corners of the city.

The reason why the soldiers guarding the city reacted so slowly was not that these soldiers did not do their best, but that they most probably focused on the outside of the city.

The spies of the Huns were not one, or two, but a group of them.

There are only five or six hundred people.

They occupied the key points of the Lintao North City Gate and were opening the city gate with a creaking sound. For some reason, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not even make a warning sound.

Just as the city gate opened, several loud arrows rose in the morning sky with sharp and harsh sounds, and the loud sound tied to the tail of the arrow made an increasingly loud sound.
