Chapter 506 Battle
Yin Yang family.
In the palace, stood a pretty girl with a slight charm on her face.
"From today on, you are the elder of the Fire Department."
"Thank you, Lord Dongjun!"
Da Siming bowed his head and bowed.
"The Ministry of Fire is in charge of killing the enemy, and my subordinates will definitely deal with the people of the Mo family well and restore the prestige of the Yin Yang family."
Just when Da Siming was full of confidence, Concubine Yan's expression changed.
"This is not urgent for the moment. When dealing with people from the Mo family, you need to be louder, but remember to be tainted with right and wrong and increase hatred. At this time, the Yin and Yang family is weak. You are in charge of the Fire Department, with training disciples and strengthening the sect as your top priority."
"My subordinate understands."
Moon God was on the side, watching all this calmly, but saw that Concubine Yan's expression suddenly became a little anxious.
"I have some things to discuss with the Moon God. You should retreat first!"
Although a group of elders found it strange why they all retreated in the middle of the opening. Moon God stood beside Concubine Yan and smiled.
"The reason why we promoted Da Siming so early is because she is still young and different from Yun Zhongjun and others. If she is trained well, she will be of use to us."
There are five divisions of the Yin Yang family. The Fire Division is responsible for hunting down rebels and eliminating foreign enemies, which is very important.
While the Moon God was speaking, Concubine Yan seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. She was so disgusted that she covered her mouth and retched.
"What's wrong with sister? Did she eat something bad?"
Moon God is a little strange. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case. People in the Yin and Yang family are all capable of fasting. Even if Concubine Yan follows Zhao Shuang and eats and drinks, she may not have such a big reaction.
"vomit……"
Just as Luna was teasing, Concubine Yan's reaction became even louder.
At this time, Luna finally realized something and her expression became serious.
"You...could it be..."
…
The door of the palace slowly opened, and the Moon God walked out from behind. He saw a group of elders waiting outside.
"Lord Moon God, do you have any orders for Lord Dongjun?"
"According to the leader, I have recently gained some understanding of Yin Yang and need to retreat for a period of time. For the time being, I will handle all matters related to the Yin Yang family."
"I'll understand later."
The elders followed the order and retreated. Moon God's originally cold expression became even colder. He touched his belly and cursed secretly as he grew more and more angry as he thought about it.
Zhao Shuang, you bastard! "
In the vast wilderness, outside the Qin army's camp, Touman and his men were confronting Zhao Shuang. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he cursed loudly.
"Zhao Shuang, you bastard!"
Touman's previous thought was correct. Zhao Shuang was indeed not just building an outpost, but building a complete military system outside the Great Wall.
There is a fortress at twenty miles and a Dazhai at seventy miles. There are also many beacons set up along the line. There is even a horse farm for domesticating war horses next to the Dazhai.
The Xiongnu army fought with the Qin army for a long time, but it did not interrupt the Qin people's construction pace. On the contrary, the more they fought, the more they built.
In the past few days, Touman led the Huns army, but he did not gain any advantage. On the contrary, Qin Qi continued to rely on this military stronghold to harass the Huns who plundered the pastoral areas, which made him very embarrassed.
Zhao Shuang stood on the tower, leaning on the strong crossbow, looking at Touman not far away, and said disdainfully.
"If you don't accept it, come and beat me!"
The sarcastic voice spread far away, making Touman blush with anger.
"I don't accept it, but I won't fight."
Touman was no fool to use his cavalry to attack the Qin army's stronghold.
Just wait for me.
After secretly jabbing, Touman asked the person on the side.
"Are our people here to rob the Qin army's supplies?"
"It should be almost time."
While Touman was waiting for the good news of victory, his general Ji Guli came back in disgrace with a group of subordinates.
"Chanyu, the people of Qin deceived me. They did not want to transport food, but deliberately led us to attack. This cart was full of powerful crossbows. We lost dozens of men and more than thirty horses."
That's it again!
In the past few days, the other side had repeatedly planned to take advantage of the Huns through small battles.
Touman, filled with anger, pointed at the military camp ahead and cursed loudly.
"Zhao Shuang, as the Hanyang Lord of the Qin Kingdom, it's not a shame for you to worry about me, the Huns, all day long!"
Generally speaking, military spending is for the sake of the economy.
This point is the same whether it is Qin or the Huns. The difference is that behind the Great Wall are cities and fields, and the army can protect the Qin people and produce with peace of mind. The Huns, on the other hand, wanted to plunder and annex.
But now, it's completely different. Zhao Shuang spent so much money, manpower and resources to establish such a military system outside the Great Wall, and what he gained was completely disproportionate to his expenditure.
Even if Zhao Shuang is very strong in micro management and takes advantage of Tou Man, it is still only three melons and two dates. As far as Touman is concerned, apart from being unsightly, it won't hurt his muscles and bones.
After all, in terms of unit area, what the Xiongnu could rob was not at the same level as what the Qin army could rob. Even if Zhao Shuang relies on the military stronghold, he can affect the grazing area of fifty miles on the grassland. But the Xiongnu herdsmen could move quickly and avoid the Qin army. But it costs a lot to build and maintain this military stronghold.
"I have money, do you care about it?"
But Zhao Shuang's answer in the building made Touman even more angry.
"Believe it or not, I build one in a year, and in twenty years I will build it in the city of Manchester."
"You! Just wait for me."
Touman was angry and couldn't get out. The more he thought about it, the more angry he got. Finally, he turned around and gave an order.
"Let the soldiers and civilians of the Royal Court go south immediately. I will lead the Huns' army to wipe out the military stronghold in front of me."
The Xiongnu had two royal courts in Henan, one in the south of Yinshan Mountain and the other in the east of Helan Mountain. They were both fertile lands, suitable for farming and grazing.
Obviously, Touman has made up his mind to attack with all his troops and wipe out this military stronghold outside the Great Wall.
"Chanyu, is it worth sending out the entire army just for this military stronghold?"
"The Qin army's flag being here for just one day will be a shame to our Huns. Don't worry, Zhao Shuang doesn't have much rations. I want to see how long he can last."
On the Great Wall, amid the flames of war, the soldiers' footsteps seemed to be on guard.
The entire Xiongnu army came with great momentum.
The main force of the Qin army in Shangjun was dispatched on all fronts and fought against the Xiongnu in series outside the Great Wall.
Jun Cheng came over in a hurry, with a worried look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the food in the granary is almost at the bottom. If we continue to fight like this, we won't be able to hold on!"
In order to build the military stronghold and recruit corvees, a lot of food was spent. Then, there were successive battles, including fighting outside the Great Wall, and a huge amount of food was consumed.
Not only the local stock, but also the hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass brought by Zhao Shuang are about to bottom out.
"We spend a lot more, don't the Huns do the same?"
However, Zhao Shuang didn't care and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, it's really not possible. If the government supplies are used up, you can still use the grain I have in Shangjun."
"But when will the fight with the Huns end like this?"
Zhao Shuang smiled and just said.
"Soon!"
