Daqin: Imperial People Slaughter, Signed In to Daxue Longqi

Chapter 26 The frontier fell, Meng Tian and Wang Li were furious!

That night, hundreds of thousands of Hu people in northern Xinjiang launched a surprise attack on Qin.

Of the eight counties on the frontier of the empire, seven counties were lost that night. The defenders were attacked with heavy casualties, and the general led the remaining troops to retreat.

Since then, the seven frontier counties have all fallen into the hands of the Hu people.

Only one place is an exception, Yuyang County!

……

Hu Jun’s main account.

“Trash, rice bucket!”

“If you can’t make a sneak attack, you will be ambushed instead?”

“How can Laozi have your stupid subordinates?”

Heliangui, the king of the Wuhuan, was trembling with anger when he heard his subordinates who had escaped and told about last night’s scene.

This time the Wuhu Alliance attacked Qin, and he and Shi Le each led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses as the vanguard.

Schiller attacked the eastern front, while he attacked the western front.

Last night was the day the army raided.

Heliangui waited happily in the military tent for his subordinates to bring back the good news.

After all, the sneak attack has been planned for a long time, and it can be said that the victory is in hand.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Heliangui got the battle reports of successful sneak attacks one after another.

However, just at dawn, a pair of disheveled men came back.

It is said that the Yuyang County defenders were well prepared, but they failed to make a sneak attack, but were ambushed by them, causing heavy casualties.

Most of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were damaged, and some teams lost their news directly.

……

Heliangui was furious after hearing this.

With an astonishing cold glow in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, “Yuyang County…”

Then, looking at the messenger behind him, he suddenly ordered:

“Pass on the order of the king’s army, and order the troops of the surrounding counties to gather in Yuyang County.”

“Tomorrow morning, besiege Yuyang County, be sure to take it down.”

“Yes!”

……

Yuyang County, the county seat.

Liu Heng returned to the prefectural commander’s mansion full of exhaustion.

Taking off his armor and shirt, he slumped directly onto the couch.

After a night of hard fighting, he finally repulsed the siege enemy.

The enemy’s army was more than ten thousand, and the defenders in the city were only eight thousand.

Originally this would be an extremely tough defensive battle.

But last night, after Liu Heng got the news from Bai Ze.

Ambush all the defenders in the city outside the city.

When the enemy army entered the city, there was a rain of arrows, and the enemy army was in disarray.

Then he led the infantry and cavalry to take advantage of the chaos of the enemy and launched an offensive.

The enemy was caught off guard and lost its formation.

He was rushed by Liu Heng’s army.

Next, the bloody battle begins.

All night.

Three thousand Hu troops were annihilated, one thousand captured, and countless escaped.

Liu Heng’s troops also lost more than 1,000 people, and almost everyone was injured.

After a night of fighting, the soldiers defending the city were exhausted.

But he couldn’t hide the smirk on his face.

It’s… a big win…

Lord Junwei really expected things like God, and even guessed that the enemy would attack.

As a result, the enemy has come to a plan, and this battle can have such a great victory!

For a while, cheers broke out among the soldiers: “Your Majesty is wise!”

Hearing such a voice, Liu Heng indeed smiled wryly, and it was difficult to be happy.

After saying hello to the generals, he hurried back to the county commander’s mansion.

……

County Lieutenant House.

Liu Heng took a break.

The current situation was mulling over in his mind.

According to what the strong man said last night, tens of thousands of enemy troops rushed towards Yuyang County.

Now, his county town is defended.

But what about other locations? What happened to the seventh station?

Were there other border counties that were also attacked?

Thinking about this, Liu Heng jumped up from the foot again.

Put on the armor and tabard you just removed, in exchange for a messenger.

“Come on!”

“Send someone to inquire about information from other surrounding counties.”

“Another 1,000 soldiers and horses will be ordered, and follow me to the seventh station.”

“Yes! Lord Commander!”

……

In the territory of Daqin, it is hundreds of miles away from the northern border.

Meng Tian’s army has been marching for several days and is taking a rest here.

In the tent, Meng Tian looked at the marching map.

This place is only a hundred miles away from the border, and it is expected to reach the border town tomorrow.

Restless barbarians, are you ready for the wrath of the empire?

Meng Tian looked at the large grassland on the map that belonged to the Hu people, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

“Tap Tap!”

A series of rapid footsteps sounded outside the tent.

“General, something is wrong!”

“There is a large group of people on the official road ahead.”

“Judging from its clothing and military flag, it should be a border guard!”

A soldier rushed into the tent and said anxiously.

Ok?

Meng Tian’s expression changed.

Border guards?

At this juncture, they are not good at guarding the border.

How can it be here, is it…

Thinking of this, Meng Tian felt a chill in his heart.

He quickly got up and left the camp, and rushed to the front of the army to check the situation.

……

on the official road.

Thousands of border guards were bloodied and ragged.

One by one, they walked towards the front of the official road with their hands.

Everyone looked sad and depressed.

Until I saw Meng Tian and other brigade of imperial troops.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but then he bowed his head again in shame.

Meng Tian looked at the group of defeated soldiers, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Taking a deep breath, he asked, “Where are you defenders, and why are you here?”

Thousands of soldiers looked ashamed, bowed their heads and said nothing.

I saw a guard who looked like an officer and knelt down with a plop.

“General, we are the defenders of Shanggu County.”

“Last night, we were attacked by the barbarians, and our army lost in a panic.”

“It led to the fall of Shanggu County, and Lord Commander also died in battle…”

The officer was disheartened and full of pain.

On the other hand, Meng Tian’s heart trembled and his body swayed.

The Hu people attacked, Shanggu County fell, and the commander died in battle…

He never thought that Hu people would have such courage.

An anger surged in my heart, staring at the officer:

“So…you didn’t care about the safety of the people in the border city…you escaped back?”

The officer was stared at by Meng Tian, his scalp tingling, he lowered his head, and said bitterly: “The last general is willing to take the blame…”

Meng Tian just wanted to speak.

However, in the distance, several teams of people and horses appeared on the official road.

……

After a stick of incense.

There were more than 10,000 troops on the official road.

They are from border counties such as Liaodong, Liaoxi and Shanggu.

All because they were attacked by the barbarians at night, which led to the loss of the station.

The frontier army who escaped along the official road.

Meng Tian’s face was ugly and strange at the same time.

Three of the four counties on the western front have already fallen, so what about Yuyang County?

Why didn’t you see the Yuyang County defenders in it?

Thinking of this, Meng Tian ordered these defeated troops to be grouped into the team first.

As for the punishment, we will discuss it when this matter is resolved.

The defeated troops were originally low-spirited, but they were very grateful to Meng Tian after hearing the news.

In this way, they have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

……

on the official road.

Meng Tian ordered the army to move out.

The destination was changed from Shangdang County to Yuyang County.

As the army of hundreds of thousands slowly started, Meng Tian rode his horse in front.

Looking in the direction of Yuyang County, his face was solemn, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

……

at the same time.

The same situation happened to Wang Li’s army on the eastern front.

Tens of thousands of defeated troops retreated along the official road and met Wang Li’s army head-on.

A slight difference is that the border towns on the eastern front were all lost under the sneak attack by the Hu people, and none of them were spared.

Wang Li was immediately furious and ordered the army to move at full speed, and he was bound to regain the lost ground in the shortest time possible.
