Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 131: Battle against the Huns

Li Mu looked at these somewhat delicate bows and crossbows, wondering how powerful they could be.

"General, you'll know after trying it."

Meng Tian smiled. He felt the same way as General Li Mu when he first saw him.

Li Mu picked up a crossbow and weighed it. It was indeed much lighter than the previous ones.

Meng Tian told Li Mu how to use it.

"bang bang bang"

"Clap clap clap"

Tian Wei and Yin Jue saw the power of the bow and crossbow and practiced clapping.

"General, this is great. If we take this crossbow, we will surely be able to kill the Xiongnu without a single piece of armor remaining."

Li Mu nodded.

It's really good. If we were to raid the Xiongnu, carrying these bows and crossbows would be very convenient.

At that moment, Li Mu ordered his men to put away the bows and crossbows and took Meng Tian to his own tent.

"This time, the Xiongnu's strategy is very different from previous ones. I have carefully studied the Xiongnu's marching locations over the past few days and suspect they will have a temporary camp here."

"The number should be within 30,000. Therefore, I will lead a team to encircle and suppress this place tomorrow."

"The crossbow sent by the doctor is just what we need."

"We will travel light and attack the Xiongnu by surprise."

"promise."

This time, Li Mu brought Tian Wei and Meng Tian with him, and Lian Jue stayed here.

At nightfall the next day, Li Mu quietly left the military camp with 8,000 men.

At this time, the Huns were unaware of the danger coming.

"General, the Hun camp is ahead."

The scout came with a quick report.

"Everyone stop, and cavalry with bows and crossbows step out."

"The cavalry will stay behind and follow me to kill the Xiongnu."

The fast horses came galloping and quickly woke up the sleeping Huns.

"Quick, go inform the general that cavalry is coming."

The ground shaking was discovered by the Hun soldiers on guard, who hurried to notify everyone.

However, the Huns reacted quickly, and Li Mu's cavalry was even faster.

The Huns here had just hurriedly put on their clothes and came out. Li Mu's bows and crossbows were already ready, and they immediately launched a wave of fire at the Hun camp.

The screams of the Huns were heard in the night.

As three waves of crossbow arrows rained down, most of the Huns fell to the ground and wailed.

"Cavalry, follow me to kill the enemy."

"kill"

There was a sound of killing all over the place.

The sound of horse hooves, screams, and weapons piercing flesh were intertwined.

Meng Tian rushed into the Hun camp with the cavalry, killing everyone he saw like a killing god.

Seeing that the doctor was so fierce, the surrounding soldiers were no less ferocious.

Wan Tu hurriedly rushed out of the tent with his scimitar, and what he saw was the tragic scene of the Qin army strangling the Hun soldiers.

"Li Mu!"

Wan Tu rushed to Li Mu under the protection of his personal soldiers, and the two generals immediately engaged in battle.

Wan Tu has a burly figure, and the warhorse he rides is one of the best in a million.

After a few rounds, Li Mu already felt a little tired.

Li Mu stared at Wantu's horse with envy.

If I had this BMW, I would definitely be no weaker than him.

Tian Wei quickly rushed to the opposite side of Li Mu, and the two of them joined forces to besiege Wan Tu.

When Wantu's personal soldiers saw that Li Mu had gathered helpers and had dealt with the Qin army, they quickly came to aid the general.

However, the Qin army was numerous, and these personal guards were soon killed by the Qin army.

"Don't hurt BMW."

Li Mu saw that Tian Wei's sword did not hurt Wan Tu, but almost injured the BMW under Wan Tu's seat. He was so distressed that he could not help but scold him.

Tian Wei: ...

Meng Tian's men were already slaughtered, and seeing that only a few Huns were left, he quickly came to help Li Mu.

Even though Wan Tu was ferocious, he was no match for Li Mu at this moment and screamed as he looked at him.

Li Mu and others naturally didn't understand what Wan Tu was saying, so they didn't care at the moment.

Soon, Wan Tu was beheaded by the three men.

Li Mu didn't care about Wan Tu, he dismounted and walked to Wan Tu's BMW.

Seeing the horse kicking its hooves in annoyance, Li Mu didn't care.

"General, this horse is truly a BMW."

Li Mu listened to Tian Wei's words without taking his eyes off the BMW.

"nature."

I couldn't help but reach out and touch the horse's back, but in return I got an unhappy glare from the horse.

"Tian Wei, these surviving Xiongnu should be killed immediately, leaving no one alive."

Li Mu ordered in a cold voice.

After hearing this, Meng Tian hurried to Li Mu's side.

"General, these Huns cannot be killed yet."

"Why?"

Tian Wei was also puzzled. How could they let these Xiongnu people go, as they were extremely cruel to the Qin people?

Meng Tian stared at the two men and said, "This is what the Right Prime Minister meant."

"Before I came here, the Right Prime Minister told me not to strangle any Xiongnu prisoners."

"The road from Xianyang to the northern border is rugged, making it very difficult to transport supplies. The Right Prime Minister suggested that all the Xiongnu people be sent to build a road from the northern border to Xianyang."

In a flash, Li Mu thought of the benefits and nodded.

"Then take these people back first."

"Did the Right Prime Minister say when the road construction would begin?"

If we don’t repair it now, and keep these Huns fed for nothing, wouldn’t that be a waste of food?

"The Right Prime Minister is already arranging people, and it shouldn't be long before someone arrives."

Li Mu was satisfied, as long as he was not keeping these Huns for nothing.

Li Mu, who had been fighting against the Huns for many years, hated the Huns deeply.

What is the difference between these Huns and that beast?

If they captured people, they would keep them as food, and they would not even spare the children.

"General, we captured 10,000 Xiongnu, 8,000 war horses, and a large number of sheep."

Not long after, Tian Wei came over, grinning happily.

"General, those in our army who understand the Xiongnu language have learned that there is a small camp of their tribe not far from here, with many war horses and sheep."

"The number is probably around 30,000."

"General"

As he spoke, Tian Wei rubbed his hands, and the meaning was self-evident.

"How much damage did we suffer this time?"

Li Mu did not agree immediately, but asked about his own battle losses.

"General, over three hundred people were killed in this battle, and thirteen thousand were seriously injured."

"But now that we have a military doctor here, we won't lose our lives."

In the past, most of these seriously injured people could not be cured, but now it is different. As long as military doctors provide timely treatment, they can all survive, and some can even continue to fight after recovering from their injuries.

"Okay, you take 2,000 men to send the wounded back, and order Jin Jue to bring 5,000 men to reinforce."

"The rest of us will camp and rest here."

Tian Wei looked at Li Mu and wanted to say that he could stay, but seeing Li Mu's firm attitude, he lowered his head and left.

It's okay to let Meng Tian go back and stay.

How could the general let me go back?

There is no pleasure in killing the enemy if you stay behind.

No matter what Tian Wei thought, he still took his people away.

When Lian Jue saw Tian Wei returning with the wounded, he hurriedly arranged for a military doctor to treat them quickly.

Afterwards, the camp was handed over to Tian Wei.

"I'll leave the barracks to you. I'll go meet up with the general."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Carrying his precious sword, Lian Jue left with a big laugh.

Tian Wei looked at the smug look on Yin Jue's face and wished he could compete with him right now.

The five thousand cavalrymen rode at full speed, not daring to delay for a moment, and soon met up with Li Mu.
