Chapter 1156: Can the Commander's Order Be Understood in This Way? Hey! Chanyu! Uteg!

Fifteen miles southeast of the Xiongnu tribe.

From time to time, a suppressed cry of surprise was heard from the Qin army: "The sun has risen! Oh, the Four Heavenly Emperors, have we been running for so long? I don't feel tired yet!"

"It's not that we have been running for a long time, but the moon has not stayed in the sky for a long time! At most, it was less than four hours last night!"

"It takes too long for the dawn in Donghu. It's not hot at all in the midsummer. How many acres of land can be cultivated in a day! I really don't know why people in the world think this is a bitter and cold place. This is clearly a treasure land!"

"After this battle, this place will definitely belong to our Great Qin. At that time, you must volunteer to exchange all the military merits of this battle for acres of land here, and stay here in the future!"

"Hehe, me too! We are comrades in arms during the war, and we will be fellow villagers after the war!"

The distance of the Qin army of Meng Tian's attack is not much shorter than that of the Xiongnu army of Touman's attack.

But the state of the Qin army knights was completely different from that of the Xiongnu knights. Although they were also quite tired, they did not need to clamp the horse's belly all the time, and they did not need to face the slipping caused by sweating on the horse's back. If they were fully in tune with the horse under their crotch, they could even lie on the saddle and take a nap, letting the horse run by itself.

The Qin army knights were just tired from sitting in the same posture for a long time. They could even sigh at the rising sun and chat with each other to kill time.

Even the state of the Qin army's horses was visibly better than that of the Xiongnu horses.

Although the Qin army's horses were slightly heavier than the Xiongnu horses, they did not need to be clamped on both sides of their waists and abdomens all the time, nor did they need to be strangled by their arms. When running, they were more comfortable than the Xiongnu horses.

"Report!" A squad of scouts rode back and approached Meng Tian, ​​then bowed and shouted: "The Xiongnu soldiers and horses in front stopped by the Yarlung River. The knights have all dismounted and are letting the horses eat grass."

War horses, like humans, cannot drink a lot of cold water directly after running long distances at high speeds. Instead, they need to wait until their breath is stable before they can drink the river water.

War horses are different from humans. If the food is only grass but no high-nutrition foods such as grain and eggs, then the war horses need a long time and eat a lot of grass to be full.

Now the Xiongnu army not only chose to rest by the river, but also let all the knights dismount, and let the war horses eat grass, which means that the Xiongnu army can no longer bear it and is ready for a relatively long rest.

All the Qin soldiers subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

The Xiongnu army chose to rest, so they can finally rest!

But the leader of the 250, Liu Ji, scratched his chin and laughed, "Can't the Xiongnu run away?"

"Since our army started chasing the Xiongnu, we have been running for more than ten hours. We have only rested three times during this period, which is less than two hours in total. We can run faster than the wild dogs in the chaotic mountains of Pei County!"

"Why don't you run now?"

"Wow~ Are you tired?"

Liu Ji raised his voice, looked around at his comrades and laughed, "The enemy is tired, which is our opportunity to fight!"

Meng Tian shook his head and said, "The commander-in-chief ordered that our troops are not allowed to take the initiative to fight the enemy."

Liu Ji said seriously, "But The commander-in-chief ordered that if the enemy army stays in one place for a long time, our army can send a small group of soldiers to harass and force them! "

Meng Tian refuted as a matter of course: "The enemy army has not stayed in one place for a long time, and our army does not need to issue this order."

Liu Ji raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Long-term, how long is long-term? Isn't it up to the captain to decide!"

"The enemy army clearly wants to water their horses on the banks of the Yarlung River, so they naturally want to stay in one place for a long time."

"Our army saw that the enemy army wanted to stay in one place for a long time, so we took the initiative to harass and force them, so that the enemy army could not stay in one place for a long time. What's wrong with that?"

Meng Tian was a little confused.

How can the commander-in-chief's order be understood in this way?

What's wrong with that? Liu Ji's words sounded full of loopholes!

But Liu Ji is a retainer of Chang'an Jun, and obviously knows Chang'an Jun's temperament better than this general. Maybe Chang'an Jun's real idea is what Liu Ji said, but this general has never understood it?

Liu Ji carefully observed the changes in Meng Tian's expression. Seeing the hesitation in Meng Tian's eyes, Liu Ji immediately bowed his hands: "I am willing to lead my troops to cause trouble!"

"I am willing to sign a military order. I will never be the first to shoot an arrow!"

Meng Tian's heart was completely tilted, and he nodded and said: "Yes!"

Liu Ji happily bowed his hands: "Thank you, Captain!"

After saying that, Liu Ji pulled the reins and shouted loudly: "Comrades! Go!"

"Let's have fun with the Hu thieves!"

While laughing loudly, Liu Ji squeezed the horse's belly, protected 500 of his soldiers in front of him, and commanded his troops to run forward! ——

By the Yarlung River, nearly 300,000 war horses were scattered on the riverside grassland, eating fresh green grass in big mouthfuls.

Every war horse was panting like an ox, gathering into a whistling sound like the wind passing through the valley.

Although Maodun was the prince of the Xiongnu, he had no servants to accompany him. After letting his horse graze, he could only limp to the river.

Taking off the Guoluo belt and lifting up the leather jacket, Maodun saw that the inside of his legs had been rubbed red and purple. Although the flesh was not exposed, the surface skin had been rubbed. It was not considered an injury but it was the most painful.

With a sigh, Maodun took off his helmet, gritted his teeth, scooped up a helmet of river water from the river with his helmet, and rushed it to his legs.

"Hiss~~~"

The cold river water hit the steaming broken skin, causing Maodun to feel a sharp pain!

Modun did not dare to shout out in pain, but could only hold back his cry and scoop up three helmets of river water to continue washing vigorously.

When the stains on the inside of his legs were almost washed away, Maodun staggered and fell to the ground in pain, but he did not dare to rest for too long. He quickly opened a cow horn, took out a lump of dark brown paste from the horn and rubbed it on the damaged skin.

The faint coolness diluted the stinging pain of the wound. Maodun finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground with his legs apart, and took out a piece of beef jerky from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth like other Hu cavalry, chewing it with effort, seizing the precious time to recover his strength.

But while chewing, Maodun suddenly saw a cloud of dust rising up!

Maodun immediately stood up, put his finger into his mouth and whistled, then called out loudly: "Echige! There is something strange in the southeast!"

Accompanied by the whistle, Maodun's three war horses followed the sound, and Maodun also hurriedly jumped on the horse's back and ran towards Touman Chanyu.

At the same time, several scouts had already rushed to Touman Chanyu's side, and repeatedly said: "Chanyu!"

"More than a thousand Qin troops are attacking from the southeast!"

Baoler was surprised when he heard this: "More than a thousand Qin troops are attacking?!"

"The Qin army has been attacking for a day like our army, aren't the Qin army tired!"

The Hu Kingdom claims to be a nation on horseback. Because the geographical features of the Hu Kingdom are mainly grasslands, the riding skills of the Hu Kingdom knights are even better than those of the Donghu knights, and they are fully qualified to claim to be the best horse-riding nation in the world.

As a result, the Hu Kingdom knights can no longer hold on, but the Qin Kingdom knights still have the spare energy to press forward and pursue?

Is this reasonable?

This is unreasonable!

Chanyu Touman was also angry: "More than 10,000 knights are chasing me, I can bear it."

No mistakes!

"Now a mere thousand knights dare to chase me?"

"Qin army, how dare you humiliate me like this!"

This is too much!

Baoler hit his heart with his right fist and said solemnly: "I am willing to lead my troops to turn around and fight back, and wipe out all the thousand Qin troops!"

Chanyu Touman wanted to agree, but after thinking for a moment, Chanyu Touman gave up the idea and gritted his teeth and said: "No!"

"Order the whole army to mount their horses and continue to march along the Yalu River to Jin'alin!"

Baoler said anxiously: "Chanyu! Our army..."

Chanyu Touman raised his hand to interrupt Baoler and said in a deep voice: "I know that the tribesmen are tired. Tired."

"But the Qin army is no less tired than ours!"

"This is a contest of endurance and will. The enemy is like a pack of wolves, while our army is like a rabbit."

"Next, our army will slow down, run and run, and try to save all the tribesmen."

"Wait until we enter Jin'alin, and then make plans!"

Seeing that Touman Chanyu was determined, Baoler no longer persuaded him, but just rode back on his horse like a group of Hu cavalry, driving the reluctant warhorse to continue to march northwest.

Seeing this, Liu Ji shouted: "Keep charging!"

Leading the army to the east side of Touman Chanyu's tribe, Liu Ji shouted loudly: "Hey! Chanyu! Eqin Utge (bitan mother)!"

Hun generals:!!!

Baoler was furious: "A mere 2500 Qin dogs dared to insult my Chanyu Chengligutu!"

"Chanyu! Please allow me to lead the army to annihilate the enemy!"

Touman Chanyu was not very angry.

Touman Chanyu had been scolded a lot during the battle, and Liu Ji's awkward and simple swear words could not shake Touman Chanyu's mind at all.

Touman Chanyu said without hesitation: "No! Keep running!"

Liu Ji used up all his foreign language reserves, but failed to attract even one arrow, and finally lost his temper.

Seeing that the warhorse under his crotch was so tired that it was foaming at the mouth, Liu Ji could only order: "Rest on the spot!"

"Send a message to the captain, our troops have successfully driven the Hu bandits away from this grassland, making it impossible for the Hu bandits to stay in one place for a long time, and we can keep the general's order!"

"I advise you to send comrades from various departments to harass in turn, so that the Hu bandits can never stay in one place or even rest, so as to tire out the enemy's soldiers!"

I can't beat you, can't I tire you to death?

This was a common fighting method of the Xiongnu, but now Liu Ji advised Meng Tian.

Meng Tian adopted Liu Ji's strategy without hesitation, and sent troops from various departments forward one after another, so that Touman's troops could not get a moment of rest. Even if Touman controlled the speed, the physical endurance of his soldiers was on the verge of collapse!

Three hours later, Liu Ji led his troops forward again, and shouted in a familiar voice in the direction of Touman Chanyu: "Hey! Chanyu! Eqin Utge!"

Touman Chanyu said coldly: "Don't pay attention, keep moving forward!"

"Jin'alin is ten miles ahead!"

"As long as we escape into Jin'alin, our army will have a chance to catch our breath!"

Having said so, Touman Chanyu's hands had unconsciously clenched the reins.

How can there be such a disgusting person in the world!
