The Myth of Daqin: The Soul of Yi Xiaochuan

What is unexpected is!

Zhou Wen, the general of the rebel army, really lived up to Chen Sheng's high hopes.

After raising the army in Chen County, Zhou Wen led the rebel army to advance rapidly and unstoppably, and successfully broke through the impregnable Hangu Pass at an astonishing speed beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Not only that, as the war progressed westward, General Zhou Wen's army grew like a snowball.

When the rebel army finally arrived at Hangu Pass, it already had thousands of chariots and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

At this moment, the destruction of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty seems to be just around the corner and within reach.

However, it should be noted that at this time, only two months had passed since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up in rebellion in Daze Township.

This news spread throughout China like thunderclap, instantly causing great shock to all forces in the world.

You know, Hangu Pass is the last solid line of defense of the Qin Dynasty against foreign invasion, and its importance is self-evident.

Back then, countless famous generals from the six states of Shandong returned home in defeat and suffered a bitter defeat here.

But who could have expected that Zhou Wen would be able to break through this dangerous pass so easily?

This is enough to show how deep the resentment and dissatisfaction the common people had towards the tyrannical Qin Empire under the rule of Hu Hai!

However, at this time, Mobei was the heart of the Xiongnu grassland.

After being confused for a while, Meng Yi regained his confidence.

He took a deep breath and said to Li Ziwei beside him: "Ziwei, we can't wander around aimlessly like this anymore. We must find the main force of the Xiongnu as soon as possible."

Li Ziwei nodded. "Don't worry, General. I will lead this group of elite scouts deep into the grasslands and live up to your expectations."

Meng Yi patted Li Ziwei on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Okay, be sure to be careful and pay attention to safety."

After the unremitting efforts of Li Ziwei and others, they finally found traces of the Xiongnu royal court.

Meng Yi, Li Ziwei and Meng Xin sat together to discuss the next plan.

Meng Yi said, "Although we haven't found any trace of Maodun's main army, annihilating the Xiongnu royal court will severely dampen the Xiongnu's arrogance."

Li Ziwei pointed to the location of the Xiongnu royal court on the map and said, "General, according to various sources, although the Great Khan Touman has been sidelined by Maodun, he still has 10,000 troops under his command, as well as 50,000 to 60,000 tribesmen."

Li Ziwei thought for a moment and said, "General, we can attack at night, using the cover of darkness to catch them off guard."

Meng Yi nodded and said, "Very good, but we need to divide our forces into multiple groups and attack from different directions so that they can't take care of both ends."

...............

Finally, Meng Yi stood up and said, "Brothers, this battle has dragged on for so long, and we are already at a disadvantage. But in this battle, we must go all out and never retreat!"

Li Ziwei and Meng Xin responded in unison, "Yes, General! We will definitely fulfill our mission!"

As night fell, Meng Yi, Li Ziwei and Meng Xin each led a team of cavalry and quietly marched towards the Xiongnu royal court.

On the other side, the army led by Sima Yan actually arrived at the Gonglu River.

"General, there is a big river ahead!" a soldier shouted excitedly.

Sima Yan looked at the water in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little happy.

The army marched northwards through the Gobi Desert, and everyone was already exhausted.

Seeing the water flowing in front of me, I suddenly became excited.

"Finally water!"

"It's time to take a good rest!"

The soldiers cheered.

Since there was no sign of the Huns, everyone's vigilance dropped significantly, and they even hastily arranged a few guards around.

Sima Yan looked at the soldiers' relaxation and felt a little uneasy.

"Don't be careless, the Huns may be nearby," he shouted.

However, the soldiers did not take his words to heart.

Little did they know that this was exactly Maodun's strategy to tire out the enemy. He kept luring them north, and the army gradually became separated from its supplies.

Just when Sima Yan's army relaxed their vigilance, the main force led by Maodun surged out from both sides like a tide.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

For a moment, the sound of killing was deafening. Sima Yan was shocked and hurriedly organized his soldiers to resist.

"Don't panic! Keep forming!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

However, due to insufficient preparation, the army was in chaos and the soldiers fled in all directions.

"Protect the general!"

"Don't let the Huns get close!"

Some loyal soldiers fought hard and tried to protect Sima Yan's safety.

However, the Huns' offensive was as fierce as a storm. They continued to charge and kill, and Sima Yan's army gradually fell into a desperate situation.

On the other hand, at the Xiongnu royal court, Meng Yi and others launched a surprise attack as planned.

Under the cover of night, they quickly shuttled between the tents near the royal court.

The multi-pronged attack tactic caught the Hun defenders off guard, and they soon rushed into the camp.

"Kill!" Meng Yi waved the sword in his hand and rushed towards the enemy with a roar.

"Quick, stop them!" the Hun general shouted at the top of his lungs.

Everyone struggled to resist the attack of Meng Yi and others, the weapons in their hands flashing coldly.

"Brothers, work harder!" Meng Yi shouted loudly to boost morale.

However, the Xiongnu defenders knew the terrain well and used their familiar environment to launch a tenacious resistance, quickly opening up a protective zone centered on the hillside.

The battle gradually became stalemate, with neither side giving in.

Seeing that it was difficult to win quickly, Meng Yi secretly came up with a plan.

He whispered to the deputy general beside him, "Lead a group of soldiers and deliberately retreat, exposing a flaw."

The deputy general understood what he meant and immediately led a group of soldiers to pretend to retreat.

Seeing this, the Xiongnu defenders thought they had an opportunity and sent out half of their forces to pursue the enemy.

Then, shouting "Kill!", Meng Xin led his soldiers to charge at the Xiongnu pursuers. They cut off their retreat, attacking them from both sides, and the Xiongnu defenders were immediately thrown into chaos.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!" the Xiongnu general shouted in horror. But it was too late. Meng Yi's troops finally defeated the Xiongnu defenders and successfully destroyed the Xiongnu royal court.

Meng Yi stood in front of the tent and looked at the captured Chanyu Touman coldly.

His eyes were filled with anger and contempt, as if he was looking at a disgusting pest.

Because the soldiers reported that thousands of Qin people were kept in the camp's kitchen.

What is even more infuriating is that the Xiongnu people were cooking in their bronze cauldrons the people of Qin who had just been skinned and their tendons removed.

The Touman in front of him had a thin face and bulging eyes, as if his body had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

His haggard face and lifeless eyes showed his indulgence and depravity at a glance.

It is said that just when the sneak attack took place, Touman was still in the big tent, naked with two Xiongnu women, immersed in indescribable pleasure.

A strong feeling of disgust surged in Meng Yi's heart, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, his voice full of contempt and disdain.

"Kill!" Meng Yi's voice was cold and resolute, as if it carried endless murderous intent.

When Touman heard Meng Yi's order, his body trembled violently, and a trace of fear and despair flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no sound came out. He knew that his fate was sealed and there was no way to escape death.

Meng Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He looked at the soldiers around him, their faces also filled with anger and hatred.

"Go ahead, kill all the prisoners." Meng Yi gave the order again.

Meng Xin and Li Ziwei angrily led their soldiers into action quickly.

Their footsteps echoed in the air like a symphony of death.

"You beasts, how dare you treat our people so cruelly!" Meng Xin shouted angrily.

"This is what happens to you!" Li Ziwei also shouted.

The soldiers brandished their swords and slashed at the prisoners mercilessly.

The lives of Touman and all the captives, including the elderly, women and children, ended in an instant.

Blood splattered all over the ground, forming shocking pools of blood.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people feel sick.

Meng Yi watched this scene without any pity in his heart. He knew that this was the cruelty of war and also the punishment for the enemy.

Meng Yi turned around silently and left this bloody place, secretly vowing in his heart that he must establish a powerful dynasty that could protect the Chinese people.
