It was mid-June, and it was the hottest season in the north of the northern part of the country. The war horses wagged their tails and slapped their bodies, drove away mosquitoes and flies, and lowered their heads to chew some wilted plants. The Huns could no longer wear furs, and they all took off their waists and were naked. While drinking the water from the oil river, they cursed and looked at the Aries Mountains that were besieged closely. A tentative attack had just ended, and it ended with the Qin army launching thousands of crossbows at the same time. The Huns could not bear the losses and retreated...

"Hors, cattle and sheep will be weak even if they don't eat water for six days. Are these Qin people all tuó camels?" The Huns were very surprised by this.

Camels are camels. They are the most thirst-resistant livestock that the Huns have ever seen. They will not be able to drink them once and not drink water for ten days and half a month.

The siege of Aries Mountain has entered the sixth day. According to Dadun, there is no drinking water on the mountain. Even though more than 10,000 Qin troops still have food, the final result is that they are thirsty and lose their combat effectiveness and are easily destroyed by the Huns.

The Huns were all calculating hunters. They like to win without paying any price. Wait. They have patience, like predatory jackals, bite hard, hang far behind, and wait until they completely lose their strength, and then pounce on them to tear their flesh and blood.

However, this group of Qin troops in Shangjun were more resolute than the Toutman Shanyu imagined. The siege of the Huns did not seem to have a good effect.

"The Qin people had a skill to dig the ground and create a spring."

The Eagle Eagleman Wulan, who had a blind eye, was making his own bows and arrows. He did not like this kind of siege battle that was harsh and had not many opportunities to shoot and kill the Qin people. However, he and a group of knights went to the old camp of the Qin army with the order of Shanyu, and saw a rare object called "well". The grassland people have not mastered this technology yet.

The Huns were very curious about the well, but before Ulan could explain in detail, Xubusheng, the great master, came over with a gloomy face and called his name.

"Ulan! Get on the horse quickly and send troops with me!"

Indeed, the Qin army on Aries Mountain was not as untouched as the Huns imagined. Without rivers and streams, they let the craftsmen dig wells and springs. Although the number was not large, they were assigned to each soldier. There were only a small mouthful every day. The most critical crossbow soldiers who guarded the camp could drink half a scoop every day. Most people were so thirsty that their lips were blistered. Every morning, they would rise up, suck the dewdrops on the grass, and even fought for it.

But the Shangjun soldiers were the most elite troops of the Qin Dynasty after all, and all the soldiers came from Guanzhong. Many people had experienced the battle to sweep the six kingdoms. Although they were defeated, their military laws and regulations were still there and they could still organize decent defenses.

But as for breaking through, Feng Jie did not have the courage to do that. Once he left the hills and forests, he would lose the advantage of the powerful crossbows, and more than ten thousand Qin troops would be easily divided and annihilated by tens of thousands of Huns...

Now, he could only stand on the top of Aries Mountain every day, hoping that the two armies in the north and south could detect the intention of the Huns to concentrate their troops, and found that they were in danger, so they sent troops to aid...

The great achievements were ruined. What Feng Jie hoped now was not to be defeated or lose his troops.

But his commander sent extremely bad news at this time.

"General, our army's crossbows are about to end!"

Feng Jie suddenly felt excited and asked, "How many days will it take?"

"At most four days, if the arrows shot by the enemy are reused, and then people will go a hundred steps away to pick up the arrows, or six or seven days..."

According to the rules of the Qin army, each crossbow had 100 arrows, and the entire army had 3,000 crossbow soldiers and 300,000 arrows. However, the weight of 100 arrows was almost twenty or thirty kilograms. It was impossible for so many arrows to be carried on them, so there were carts that specialized in carrying arrows when marching.

Fortunately, when Feng Jie encountered the Huns, he did not throw away all the baggage.

But the problem arose. In order to prevent the Huns from attacking continuously, they shot a large number of arrows, reaching tens of thousands of arrows every day. When the Huns entered the night, they would let half-aged children touch about a hundred steps and pick up crossbow arrows all over the ground. The crossbow arrows were shorter, and the Huns' compound bows and single bows were not easy to get on, so they took them back to knock down the cluster heads and put them on the Huns' arrows.

Therefore, as the siege continued, Feng Jie was shocked to find that the proportion of copper and iron of the Huns' arrows increased a lot, and when they approached the Qianqian arrows, the casualties of the Qin army also increased.

They can hold their positions entirely by long-range firepower. If they are broken into a melee, the Qin army will have few enemies and many enemies, and the situation may be bad.

"Alas, is God the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the

Feng Jie's face was withered and sighed. He had never suffered such a great defeat since he entered the army.

Fortunately, the sentry looking at the movements of the Huns reported another strange thing.

"General, a group of Huns suddenly divided their troops and headed north!"

The Huns had at least ten thousand cavalry. Feng Jie was very happy. The Huns had to concentrate their troops to organize continuous attacks and disperse ten thousand cavalry. This means that before they came back, the Huns could only slow down their attack speed.

But the Huns were cunning, and Feng Jie was not sure whether this was their plan, and wanted to tempt his side to break through.

"But if not, why did the Huns divide their troops and horses and leave? Is it because the tribal chief has a gap with the Shanyu, or...?"

Feng Jie's eyes flashed with the glory of hope: "In the north... Could it be that the two generals of Qiang and Meng have come to Henan from the northern vacation!?"

...

Feng Jie was wrong, and the one who forced the Huns to divide their troops to the north was not Meng Tian, ​​but Li Xin, who was bold and careful, used the Xiongnu front army to separate from the livestock, and rode a fleet of chariots and sailed into Li Xin dozens of miles north of Aries Mountain in one breath!

Tiger Mountain is the remnant of Helan Mountain on the east side of the river. It is named after the tigers appearing on the mountain. This tiger is a branch of the North China tiger. Its body color and stripes are very light, but it is not white, which is very suitable for the grassland environment.

The grass at the foot of Tiger Mountain is lush and it is a good pasture and guards the pass leading to Hetao. The Touman Chanyu asked a thousand men to grazle more than 10,000 cattle and sheep, as well as ten thousand horses for spare. Like humans, if all the livestock are concentrated in one place, the local turf will not be enough to be gnawed.

The Huns originally wanted to surround some points to fight for aid, but Li Xin liked to win by surprise. He ignored his friendly troops and rushed straight to the rear of the Huns. This action really scared Touman Shanyu. The thousand scouts he arranged to stop him in the west and could not stop him. He could only watch the Qin cavalry ships heading downstream. After repaying Shanyu, Shanyu asked Subusheng to take 1,500 cavalry to rescue him...

Now, the Huns' offensive against Aries Mountain could only stop, and Li Xin's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao was indeed useful.

Xubusheng was still slowing down for several hours. When he led his army to Tiger Mountain, there was only a mess left here, with thick smoke emitting from the felt tent. The grazing Huns were dismantled and died on the ground, with bodies mixed with the killed livestock, and the cattle, sheep and horses disappeared, either dispersed or driven away by the Qin army.

When they were looking for horse hoof prints and rushed to the riverside at the foot of Tiger Mountain, they saw an amazing scene: wooden ships connected into a floating bridge, and the last group of Qin troops were rushing to cross the river with the captured horses. On the other side of the river, a huge flag was clamoring in the wind...

Ulan stared at the symbol on the flag, and her one-eyed eyes were about to bleed!

Last fall, when Wulan followed the Eastern Expedition of Dadun, an army of only a few hundred people brought nightmares and disasters to the tribes south of Qingshan Gorge. Thousands of Hun herders died of life, while the remaining hundred were cut into their eyes and were rescued with blood and tears. After dipping them in blood, they wrote down the symbol of the Qin people's flag that attacked them...

That is the word "Li" in seal script!

It was also the flag in front of Ulan. He knew that the enemy who slaughtered his tribe was opposite the river!

Under the operation of the Qin people, the floating bridge disintegrated and the ships gradually moved closer to the west bank. The river was not shallow. If the Huns crossed the river at this time, they would probably be hit by the Qin army head-on. Even if they got on the shore, the west bank was called Changliu Shui. Even if the cavalry rushed over, it would not be easy to exert themselves. In addition to the light cavalry, there were still many fully armed infantrymen...

The white-haired and red-haired general seemed to know this. He stood across the river and stared coldly at the belated Huns. With a raised hand, his soldiers took hundreds of captured Huns to the riverside, all of whom were pressed to the ground and their hair fell down.

As the general of the Red Buckle swung his arm, the axe slashed the heads of hundreds of people! Blood was pouring into the water with the round heads, dyeing the river light red...

More than ten thousand Huns watched this scene. The Legend of the Condor Wulan was furious and almost rushed over, but was pulled over by the great Subusheng.

"Don't be fooled, he is deliberately irritating the Huns."

Subusheng stared at the red buckle general and felt a little shocked.

He was the one who fought the most times with the Qin army among the Huns. He met the soldiers of Qinbeidi County last year. The generals of the Qinbei County were steadily and cowardly, so he guarded the camp without any flaws. He only took the plan when the Huns made an impatient mistake.

Xubu Sheng originally thought that this was the tactic of the people of the Central Plains, but today, the red bulb general on the other side refreshed his understanding.

I like to use cavalry to go deeper, not to fight head-on, but aim at the weakness of the Huns, slaughter their livestock, and immediately withdraw after victory, so that I can't catch his tail, but I dare not be careless, because I don't know when he will launch an unexpected attack on you, and the move will be fatal...

Xubusheng was even more afraid of the Qin people and said to himself: "The light cavalry will rush forward thousands of miles when it is profitable, and escape decisively. He is cruel and ruthless. The way of fighting with the red bulging Qin general is not like that of the Qin general, but rather like a... Huns!"

...

Li Xin, who was good at cavalry warfare, used the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and restrained more than 10,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu to defend the river. At the same time, General Heifu, who was considered to be "stable and cowardly" by the Xiongnu, had also raised more than 20,000 infantrymen and walked slowly, advanced to the mouth of Dusitu River, and set up camp on the spot, which shocked the Xiongnu scouts to return to Touman Shanyu again...
