Chapter 731

The war of attrition continued for several more days, with both sides fighting non-stop on this plain until the land on the plain was stained dark brown with blood.

This morning, when the Qin army was preparing to fight again, Han Xin called Datou, who had become the leader of the new slave army, in front of him.

Datou already had a look of indifference on his face, looked at Han Xin and said,

"What is the general's order? We will definitely fight to the death as we wait for the dead army!"

The Dead Army is what these new slave armies call themselves.

It has been almost half a year since we entered the war. Of the 150,000 new troops who died, only those with less than 50,000 who can still fight are left.

Even if they are slaves, even if they have no knowledge, they still know their role in the Qin army.

It’s just for consumption.

In the most dangerous parts of every battle, they were at the front, blocking the danger, and then the Qin border troops followed behind to kill.

The danger is all theirs, but the credit has nothing to do with them. . .

Even if he couldn't withstand the pleading of his brothers, he would use his identity as a brother to intercede with His Highness the Crown Prince to let them take some time off.

But the reply he got was that everything was subject to Han Xin's command.

They became desperate.

Datou also knew that His Highness the Crown Prince would repay him with his life.

They already know that they will die, so they are called the Death Army. Knowing that they will die, they don't have to give any face to Han Xin, who is the commander of the entire army.

Only dead people don't care about face.

Han Xin didn't care about this either. He just wanted these people to be able to accomplish anything, so he said calmly,

"This time, after you have fought for a while, I want you to be ready to retreat when you hear the order."

They have been fighting for so long, and the Xiongnu's casualties are not small. They should have beaten these people hard.

If the fight continues, the Qin army will certainly not fail on the frontal battlefield, but it will be bad if these people are scattered.

So now it's time to retreat.

Upon hearing this, Datou was startled for a moment, then frowned and said,

"Respect the general's order."

Then he turned around and was about to leave. Han Xin added at this time,

"Remember, when you retreat, you must be last."

Datou's back was slightly shaken. Retreating at the end meant being chased by the Huns!

After a while of silence, Datou still said in a low voice,

"Don't worry, General. The Dead Army will definitely complete its mission. After all, our health is not good, but we can't run as fast as you."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Facing Datou's sarcasm, Han Xin just glanced at the other party lightly. This mission was indeed extremely dangerous, and the other party probably wouldn't be able to come back.

There was no need for him to argue with a dead man.

As for letting these people die, he had no burden in his heart.

What is the combat effectiveness of Da Qin's frontier army, and what is the combat effectiveness of these new armies.

The influence of the families of the Great Qin's frontier troops is greater than the influence of the families of these new armies.

What is the pension for the border troops of Qin and what is the pension for these new troops?

He knew it all clearly.

It is the consensus of the entire Qin army to use these slaves to consume the new army. Even the prince only said that he wanted to improve the pension treatment.

This is the cruel reality.

Soon the two armies reappeared on the battlefield.

Datou led the new slave army and stood at the front with crude weapons.

Looking at the companions next to him who also had expressions of death on their faces, Datou opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But he couldn't say anything.

These days, he has said everything he can say.

Everyone also understood their mission.

The reason why they are still standing here is not only because of the strict military laws of the Qin army, but also because they know that they will die in the battle.

Family members benefit more.

They have already decided to die!

This is an army ready for death!

After a while, the ground shook slightly. This time, no one showed any panic. They already knew it.

This is the sound of a large group of cavalry running.

Sure enough, a line of smoke slowly appeared in their sight, and underneath the smoke was a Hun cavalry that looked as vicious as a ruthless beast!

This time, the opponent's momentum seemed to be particularly powerful.

A sudden realization arose in Datou's heart, and he had a hunch that this should be the last battle for these people.

Suddenly, what Zhao Lang said at the banquet came to his mind.

"No matter what desperate situation you face, you must try to survive."

This seems a bit ridiculous now. It was the other party who sent them to such a desperate situation!

Datou said loudly at this time,

"If we can survive this time, I must ask my prince brother in front of him, has he ever felt pain in his heart after so many brothers died? Hahaha!"

He was not the only one who Zhao Lang worshiped at the beginning!

Most of the others are already dead!

Hearing this, the other slave recruits were stunned for a moment, and then laughed too.

"Okay! I am alone and have no family. If I survive, I will ask him!"

"Hahaha! Brothers! Survive!"

"Survive!"

Not long after, all the new slave troops around them roared!

At this time, the Huns cavalry had already crashed over!

"Yu!"

With a roar from the head, all the new slave armies started another brutal battle!

At this time, in the Xiongnu army formation, Mao Dun looked at the battlefield, but his mind was not here. He asked King Zuo Xian beside him,

"Are you sure the messenger has sent the message? When the sun reaches the middle today, will they attack from the rear of the Qin army?"

King Zuo Xian glanced at Mao Dun with some doubts. This was the third time he asked, but he still replied,

"Chanyu, I have confirmed with the courier. Their message must have been delivered."

"And we have confirmed with the Hu people. After today, they should have received the supplies, and they will come to join us after tomorrow."

Mao Dun nodded absently, and King Zuo Xian couldn't help but ask,

"Chanyu, what are you worried about?"

At this time, Mao Dun managed to look relaxed and replied,

"nothing."

Of course there was something on his mind. He had been feeling something was wrong these past few days, but he couldn't put it into words.

After checking for a while, there was no problem with Dajun. He also asked his eldest son about Wang Ting and said that he had received a messenger from Wang Ting.

All is well in the royal court.

But he was still uneasy in his heart.

In any case, as long as he defeats the Qin army as soon as possible, everything will be solved!

The battle is still going on, cruel and bloody.

It just fell in the eyes of the leaders of both sides, but it was just a flag on their own road to victory.

Soon, the sun slowly rose to the middle.

Han Xin looked at the situation on the battlefield indifferently, knowing in his heart that it was already time and was about to give the order to retreat.

Suddenly, several spies hurriedly arrived in front of him and said hurriedly,

"General! A large number of Hun cavalry were discovered on both sides of our army! The camp is in danger!"

Hearing this, Han Xin's always indifferent expression couldn't help but change slightly!
