Chapter 508 Future

At the foot of Helan Mountain, the royal court of the Huns.

"What's going on?"

In the big tent, an old man with a solemn face, holding a bone sword in his hand, shouted and asked, facing the Qianchang and Baichang of the Huns in the tent.

"Why did the Qin people come so quickly without any news at all?"

"Tu Qi, the Hu Qiang tribe in Zhongwei rebelled, and they were the ones who opened the way for the Qin people."

"A bunch of losers!"

Tu Qi is the name of the Xiongnu sage and has a high prestige. At this time, the old man looked very angry. When the Huns' armies were gathering on the eastern front of Henan, most of the royal courts in Helan Mountain were the children, wives and concubines of the Huns' nobles, recuperating in this land of rich water and soil in the winter.

The battle ahead was not ideal, and Tu Qi urged Touman to withdraw his troops several times, but received no response. The latest time, Touman finally responded, but for some reason, the army has not turned around yet.

Tu Qi asked, feeling a little anxious.

"How many people are there in Qin?"

No matter what, he had to grasp the Qin army's situation before he could respond.

"The news came back from the vulture shooters in Zhongwei that the Qin army was all cavalry. At this time, it had passed through Zhongwei and was less than a hundred miles away from the royal court. However, its army was very mixed, including Qin people, Qiang people, Yuezhi people, and others. There are cavalry troops from many small tribes, totaling nearly ten thousand."

so much!

Tu Qi was shocked. At this time, there were less than 3,000 troops left in the royal court, and they were all young heirs of the Huns' nobles. They belonged to the reserve force that had not been on the battlefield yet.

"The Qiang people and the Yuezhi people are both weaker than our people in archery, archery and riding skills. Even though we have a large number of people, we don't have to worry about it. How many people are there in Qin?"

"I didn't have time to check carefully, but at a rough glance, it only accounts for 23 out of 10."

Tu Qi smiled and waved his hand.

"I heard that Lord Hanyang of Qin once practiced cavalry in Longxi, so they must be the ones dispatched this time. However, the people of Qin are different from our clan, and this time I want to let them know that cavalry is not so easy to train."

Tu Qi's words made everyone feel at ease.

"Gather all the slaves in the royal court and distribute the bone knives. This is a good opportunity for our Xiongnu warriors to perform meritorious service. Let the blood of the Qin army be used as a gift for the sons of our clan to become adults."

Tu Qi waved his hand and everyone retreated, leaving only three people in the tent.

"Aqigu, you quickly ride on Shanyu's carriage to find Shanyu and ask him to return to the army immediately. If it is too late, the land thousands of miles below the Helan Mountain may not be owned by the Huns."

At this time, Tu Qi completely lost the spirit he had just now, and his face was filled with sadness. The worry in his words shocked the young man in front of him.

"Tu Qi, what do you mean?"

"The Qin people have come here, taking thousands of people with them, and they have obviously planned it for a long time. The rise and fall of the Huns are all on you. Remember, don't tell anyone, take a bow and two arrows, and set off immediately."

"knew!"

The young condor walked out of the tent, and the old Tu Qi turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who had been silent.

"Tudor, do you think the Huns can stop me in this battle?"

"Can't stop it!"

Tudor, the counselor who once stirred up trouble in the Yuezhi King's City, was now sitting safely in the Huns' tent. His slight words made Tu Qi panic and he couldn't help but take a step back.

"In the past, the Yuezhi's more than 100,000 horsemen were not able to stop Zhao Shuang. How can they stop Zhao Shuang today with only 3,000 Xiongnu weak troops?"

"But his cavalry army was only established a few years ago. What's more, the Qin people are different from us, the Xiongnu. We grew up on horses, and they were born in the fields. How can we compare them?"

Tu Qi asked, still holding a trace of luck in his heart.

"Perhaps even the nobles in the Qin Kingdom don't know the details of Zhao Shuang. But I know it."

Tudor smiled and spoke slowly.

"The Qin State was in turmoil several times. Although many of the criminals who were relegated to Longxi were losers, there were many warriors who were skilled in riding. It was a waste to let them do hard labor on the border, so Zhao Shuang gathered them under his command. They I am grateful and loyal to this Hanyang Lord. This is the heart of the people."

"In the battle of Yuezhi, the Queen of Yuezhi ceded the eastern land and 100,000 slaves to Zhao Shuang, respecting him as the auxiliary king. Once the business trade opened, his annual income was more than one million? Zhao Shuang used it to build horse farms, build military equipment, and gather a population. This is financial resources."

"The three thousand war horses under Han Yangjun's command are mostly exotic species from the Western Regions. They are all tall horses. Their burdens are far greater than those of the Xiongnu's grassland horses, and their speed is also very fast. This is their combat power."

"Looking at the current situation, it's obvious that Zhao Shuang has a plan. He has the people's hearts, financial resources, and combat power. Is he prepared or unprepared? How can he be undefeated?"

Having said this, Tudor looked at Tu Qi.

"Your Shanyu fell into the trap. If I were you, I would prepare to evacuate earlier. Maybe, I can take some people with me now."

"You mean Zhao Shuang doesn't just want to rob the royal court's wealth?"

Tudor nodded.

"I am afraid that this cavalry army of nearly ten thousand cavalry is just the first battle, and Zhao Shuang's heavy army will follow. If the Anxi town army in the northern border of Qin goes north from Xiaoguan, it will take as short as half a month or as long as one month to arrive. And you Shan Yu's army is afraid that it will be out of men and horses, and even if it turns back, it will not be able to fight the Qin army with heavy armor."

Listening to Tudor's words, Tu Qi seemed to understand something and finally made up his mind.

Tu Qi walked out of the big tent. The weather was clear and the sun was shining. Young Huns warriors were riding horses on the grassland of the royal court.

Tu Qi led two warriors and entered a large tent of the Huns royal family in the royal court with heavy steps.

It was warm in the tent, and several women bowed respectfully when they saw Tu Qi coming.

But Tu Qi slowly walked a few steps and came to a child with a gentle smile, but it was still a bit heavy.

"Modun, you are the prince of the Xiongnu, a descendant of the noble Luantang family and the Xiahou family. You must remember the shame of the Xiongnu today."

After saying that, Tu Qi stood up and looked at the two warriors behind him.

"You take the prince and return to the royal court of Yinshan Mountain immediately to find my disciple Wu Shujia. No matter what happens next, don't come back again."

"yes!"

Tu Qi arranged all this and waited in the royal court. The Qin army's speed was faster than he imagined. In the afternoon of the next day, they had arrived at the royal court of the Xiongnu.

Tu Qi stood behind the Huns' defenders and looked at everything in front of him. He was finally convinced of Tudor's judgment in his heart.

The mighty cavalry team was obviously divided into several levels.

The Qiang and Hu cavalry troops on the periphery were the most miscellaneous in terms of equipment and horses, and many of them had no armor.

The slightly better ones looked like an auxiliary army composed of Yuezhi war slaves. Everyone was wearing leather armor.

There is also the cavalry of the descendants of the Moon Wolf who are affiliated with Lord Hanyang according to the information. The people under their seats are all prairie horses, wearing light armor, carrying horse bows and iron swords, belonging to the second level.

The core of the Qin army's war cavalry are all tall horses, equipped with fine armor, and well-equipped.

With a shout, the Qin army's flag waved, and Tu Qi closed his eyes.
