Chapter 679: Son of Destiny, Is He Really that Strong?

Both sides of the war felt that they had won, which was not a strange thing on the battlefield.

The Xiongnu felt that they were against many enemies with a small number, but they fought so proactively and forced out the elite cavalry of the Qin army. This was of course a victory.

The Qin army felt that they came out of the Great Wall to fight with an exhausted army, but they were mostly new troops. They had a draw with the opponent, which was of course a victory.

The morale of both sides is still good.

After the Huns retreated, the battlefield did not become so quiet.

A part of the Qin army was divided into defense, and the others began to rescue quickly!

"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you save people quickly!"

"You can't pull out the arrow! Go get a stretcher! Who taught you first aid?"

"Stop it! Stop the bleeding! Doctor! Doctor!"

"The Huns who are still alive are finishing the attack. Don't take prisoners! Don't hurt your brothers!"

The entire battlefield was still filled with wailing sounds, but everyone was not desperate because they knew and could see that their army had not given up on them!

Even if someone is missing an arm, these people are still saving it!

"Let officers at all levels make statistics. All sergeants who died in battle are not allowed to have any deductions from their pensions. Once discovered, their homes will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated!"

"After Han Xin is done with his work, come and see me in the Chinese military camp."

Zhao Lang said coldly at this time.

It is impossible for him to let his own people bleed and shed tears!

The ordering soldier looked at Zhao Lang with reverence, then took the order and left.

He is also a small soldier. Who doesn't want to have such a general who protects the sergeant?

Soon, Zhao Lang left the Great Wall and returned to the Chinese army's camp with Meng Tian.

"Your Highness, we won this war. Han Xin is indeed a great talent."

After returning to the camp, Meng Tian said with some emotion at this time,

"No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince values ​​this person so much. The old minister is indeed old."

"If Han Xin can be confident and maintain such a record in the future, I will be willing to give up the position of coach!"

In this battle, Han Xin led his soldiers who had been marching for a long time out of the Great Wall to fight.

In terms of the results of the battle, he also made a rough estimate on the Great Wall. Da Qin's casualties just now were probably around 6,000 people. With such complete rescue, the recovery figures of the wounded were still very objective.

But the Huns' cavalry of three thousand men was completely destroyed!

The result of the battle on the other side has not been reported yet, but it should not be too different.

Although the ratio is two to one, it is a heartbreaking thing to say.

Meng Tian thinks it is completely acceptable!

Most of the casualties of the Qin army were new soldiers who were slaves, and their equipment was also the simplest.

Two such people could be exchanged for one Hun cavalry, which would be a huge profit!

However, Zhao Lang didn't look happy when he heard Meng Tian's words.

Although they had fought against the Xiongnu before, today they realized that Great Qin's losses would be so serious in fighting against the Xiongnu's large army.

Of course, if we don't go out to fight, then these losses will be magnified countless times and then fall on the people of the counties in the northern part of the Qin Dynasty.

It's just so cruel.

Soon, the voice of reporting came from outside the Chinese army’s tent.

"General! General Han Xin is here!"

"Come in."

Han Xin appeared in the military tent wearing armor.

"I've met the general, I've met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In the army, Han Xin would still change his title.

Zhao Lang didn't pay attention to these details and asked directly,

"How's it going?"

Han Xin was also unambiguous and quickly explained the situation, which was pretty much the same as Meng Tian's calculation.

Just waiting for the battle report from the other side.

Zhao Lang nodded at this time, and then asked Han Xin,

"Do you have any strategy to deal with the enemy now?"

"I want to annihilate these people in one fell swoop!"

Seeing Zhao Lang's fierce look, Han Xin could only smile bitterly and replied,

"Your Highness, I have been thinking a lot along the way. Today's countermeasures are the result."

"The Huns' cavalry is really difficult to control."

This time, although he implemented the strategy of covering and outflanking on both the large and small battlefields, the results were pretty good.

But that's about it.

The advantage of cavalry is too great.

The first is the advantage of the opponent's reconnaissance. The cavalry can be deployed ten miles, fifty miles, or even a hundred miles away!

But as for infantry, ten miles is already the limit.

Even so, the opponent only needs to send a cavalry to stop it.

How to fight this?

Han Xin paused for a moment, then continued,

"For the Xiongnu, I'm afraid we can hold them back from the front, and then mainly use surprise attacks."

"Just now, Cai Chen saw that our elite cavalry of Great Qin could be put to use."

Han Xin briefly expressed his thoughts at this time.

Meng Tian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said,

"General Han is indeed extraordinary!"

Zhao Lang had come up with the strategy for the surprise attack, and he had spent so much time perfecting it. Unexpectedly, Han Xin had come up with it all by himself.

The plan is quite complete.

However, Zhao Lang still frowned, shook his head slightly and said,

"This strategy is pretty good for the Qiang people and the Yuezhi."

"But even if it succeeds, the main force of the Huns can still retreat after receiving the news. What can we do to stop them?"

Of course, the Huns will also suffer some harm from this, but it is still far from enough to achieve his goal.

He can only use his trump card. Zhao Lang said with a bit of coldness at this time,

"Han Xin, do you still remember the sky thunder used when attacking the Chu army?"

Hearing this, Han Xin's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Remember! Of course you remember! Your Highness the Crown Prince! You can really master the thunder of that day! My subordinates thought it was God's help!"

"If it can have that kind of power, our army will definitely win this battle!"

When Zhao Lang used the sky thunder to defeat the Chu army, everyone saw it.

That power is simply invincible in the world!

It cannot be countered by human power.

But the propaganda from top to bottom all said that Zhao Lang was the son of destiny, so he had thunder from heaven to help him!

Han Xin also asked in private, but Zhao Lang just smiled and didn't say much.

Zhao Lang had nothing to be embarrassed about. It was originally to lower the morale of the Chu army, and there was not much material in stock.

So the choice is to promote the theory of destiny.

This works well too.

But now there is no need.

"Well, that's not a thunderbolt, but gunpowder. It was produced under the supervision of Da Qin's craftsmen. There is a lot of it in stock now!"

"Although it's not as powerful as before, it's about half as powerful as before. Well, it can't be fired with arrows either."

The power of these crude black gunpowders cannot be compared with what Su and the others have spent so much time and effort on making.

Lead wires cannot be supplied on such a large scale.

It can only be made into a bamboo gunpowder barrel and ignited with an open flame or other gunpowder.

"I want to know if you can use it to defeat the main force of the Huns in one go!"

Whether it is to avenge the people across Beijun or for subsequent integration, the main force of the Huns must be eradicated!

When Han Xin heard this, he couldn't help but fell into silence for a while. After thinking for a while, he still said,

"Your Highness, today...even though black gunpowder is extremely powerful, if used head-on, the Xiongnu will definitely not be a match for our army!"

"It's just that this thing also has many limitations. After the Xiongnu suffered several losses, I'm afraid they won't be able to attack it head-on."

"I am confident that I can drive the Xiongnu back to the depths of the grassland. However, it may not be easy to cripple these people in one go on the grassland."

Of course Han Xin also wanted to kill these people at once, but the Xiongnu's mobility allowed these people to escape in time even if they suffered initial damage.

This is also why the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qin held the grassland peoples on the ground and rubbed them against each other for hundreds of years.

But, the Huns are still there.

Once you take a break for recuperation, it will pop up again!

Hearing this, Zhao Lang also frowned. The Xiongnu's mobility was indeed a big trouble!

Looking at the map inside the camp, Zhao Lang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Meng Tian on the side showed a smile at this time and said,

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so harsh on yourself. As long as we drive the Xiongnu back to the depths of the grassland, our Great Qin will have stability for a few more years."

"When the Qin Dynasty recovers, the Xiongnu will no longer be our army's opponent..."

Meng Tian advised Zhao Lang, but Zhao Lang just looked at the map. Suddenly, a place he had seen before came into view again.

Climb the mountain in vain!

Looking at the surrounding terrain, we are already inside the Great Wall, just like a prison!

If we could trap the Huns here...

Zhao Lang's eyes suddenly lit up, he was thinking about something, and then he said,

"Han Xin, if I give you a designated, relatively closed battlefield where the enemy troops will gather together, can you defeat the main force of the Xiongnu in one go?"

Hearing this, Meng Tian and Han Xin were slightly stunned.

How could there be such a battlefield?

The Huns would not be so stupid and rush to gather together on their own.

Of course, Han Xin still replied honestly,

"Your Highness, if there really is such a battlefield, I can certainly do it."

Using gunpowder, knowing the battlefield in advance, and gathering the opponent together, how could he not do it?

Zhao Lang nodded at this time,

"Okay, I understand. I will try my best to give you such a battlefield in the future."

"You go and arrange the soldiers first."

Han Xin didn't quite understand how Zhao Lang wanted to do it, but he could only accept the order. When he was about to leave, a Qin soldier came in with a happy face and reported,

"General! The rear army came to retaliate. They defeated the Huns and killed a big noble of the Huns!"

"What?"

Meng Tian and Han Xin couldn't help but said in slight surprise,

"what happened?"

The rear army, Han Xin, arranged to outflank the Xiongnu army on the other side. This was originally used as a deterrent.

When the Xiongnu sent troops over, Meng Tian was still worried about the enemy's losses, but he never expected that the rear army would actually defeat the Xiongnu!

Qin Jun smiled at this time and said,

"The general of the rear army reported that it was a county magistrate named Liu Bang who proposed a plan. He first pretended to be defeated, and then used a horse trap on the edge of the Great Wall to slow down the opponent's speed and then counterattack."

"This man also has two warriors under his command, one is named Fan Kuai and the other is named Zhou Bo!"

"The two of them forcibly killed a leader of the Xiongnu nobles, thus defeating the Xiongnu!"

Meng Tian laughed loudly after hearing this.

"Okay, okay! Our Daqin is really full of talents! These people must be well rewarded!"

This surprise came too suddenly. Of course he was happy. Suddenly he thought of something. Meng Tian quickly said to Zhao Lang,

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, wasn't this veteran worried that there was no one to lead the way?"

"I think Liu Bang is very strategic and has such a fierce general under his command. Why don't we just leave it to him!"

Hearing this, Zhao Lang and Han Xin's expressions couldn't help but become a little subtle.

To be honest, Zhao Lang didn't expect that even though Han Xin put Liu Bang in the rear, the other party would still be able to come forward!

Could it be said that these sons of destiny are really that strong?

And this is a real military achievement, no one can deny it easily!

But he was still a little hesitant to directly hand over the whole process to the other party, so he could only say,

"General Meng, this matter is of great importance. It would be better to meet with them before discussing it."

Meng Tian suppressed his excitement at this time and replied with a smile,

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the old minister is worried."

"It just so happens that in a few days we will gather all the sergeants who have made meritorious service and give them a good reward to boost the morale of the sergeants."

Zhao Lang would naturally not refuse,

"As General Yimeng said."

After the three people discussed it, Zhao Lang left with Han Xin.

It was already evening. After leaving the Chinese army's tent, Han Xin quickly said,

"Chief, my subordinates will return to the military camp first."

Zhao Lang nodded. In the army, military affairs must be the most important thing.

But Han Xin hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhao Lang and said,

"Chief, then Liu Bang..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Zhao Lang said calmly,

"Rewards and punishments are clear."

Han Xin no longer hesitated, bowed and left.

Zhao Lang then returned to his camp, but he felt a little uncomfortable. At this moment, Ji Wushuang, who was wearing Qin Jun's clothes, said,

"Alang, you don't seem to like Liu Bang very much!"

Zhao Lang's expression changed slightly and he said with a smile,

"How did you tell?"

Ji Wushuang replied with some curiosity,

"I can feel it, but you rarely care about others so much. Is there something wrong with this person? Do you want me to help you kill him?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lang's heart moved. Seeing the other party's strong will, to be honest, if he said in his heart that he was not worried at all, that would be a lie.

If Ji Wushuang really...

While Zhao Lang was still thinking, he suddenly saw the jest in Ji Wu's eyes. Zhao Lang suddenly came back to his senses and said angrily,

"When did you become a murderer of innocent people?"

Ji Wushuang replied with a smile at this time,

"I'm not, but neither are you, but you really had murderous intent in your eyes just now. If you really want to kill him, I'll help you."

"Hey, if you want to kill someone, you must have a reason!"

Zhao Lang had come to his senses at this time, shook his head calmly and said,

"It doesn't matter, I have my own plan."

Ji Wushuang still wanted to tease Zhao Lang, but in the next moment, Zhao Lang picked her up horizontally.

Ji Wushuang's face turned red and she said,

"What are you doing? This is a military camp!"

Zhao Lang said shamelessly,

"Then keep your voice down."

Ever since, there is a poem saying,

Autumn clouds rise in the desert, and the night becomes colder.

But I felt my clothes were wet, and there was no spot or sound.

Early the next morning, Zhao Lang woke up refreshed. Naturally, there was no figure of Ji Wushuang on the bed, and he was about to find him.

At this time, the slave hurriedly walked in and said,

"Your Highness, there is a letter from Liaodong. The barbarians are invading! Both the border troops and the people are dead and wounded!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lang's expression suddenly changed slightly.
