I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.

When Manqiu Chen handed the head of the White Sheep King to the Qin army, his eyes were still filled with reluctance.

Such a simple-minded Xiongnu person is probably someone you'll never encounter again in your lifetime.

It's a bit of a shame to just kill the Aries King like that.

Even on his deathbed, he was still thinking of them, wanting them to run away together.

I'm so sad!

However, when Man Qiuchen made his move, he did so without hesitation. Looking into those unseeing eyes, he gently closed them for the person.

"Let's retreat with the remnants of the army. Let's not reveal our identities for now and see if we can stay with the Xiongnu."

Liu Jiao said in a deep voice.

This is why we can't keep Manchus; he knows far too much.

If he goes back and tells the other Xiongnu people about the problem he didn't notice, they will definitely find something amiss.

Among the Xiongnu, there were some intelligent people.

At this time, the guards of the White Sheep King were all killed by the other Qin soldiers. The two of them found a defeated army and joined them, fleeing together.

……

Blood stained the land as the Huns suffered a brutal massacre.

When heavy infantry and archers worked together, and when heavy armored formations and cavalry worked together, the Qin army's application of real-time tactics on the battlefield was already highly refined.

A brilliant ambush was launched, taking advantage of the Xiongnu's greed. The Qin army stormed into the Xiongnu camp, rendering their cavalry mobility useless, and then turned the battle into a massacre.

"Of the eight thousand Xiongnu, less than three thousand escaped, but those who made it to the Great Wall are probably no more than three hundred!"

Beside Zhang Shuo, a young general said excitedly, "We are ordinary people from Wei. We thought our lives would just be like that. Who would have thought that we would have the opportunity to join the Qin army?"

Even though he hadn't experienced many major battles, he still managed to rise to the rank of one hundred general in the Qin army thanks to his excellent training results, becoming one of Zhang Shuo's personal guards!

Even after a night of fighting, his face was still flushed, more so than the bloodstains.

This is exciting!

Five thousand men ambushed eight thousand Xiongnu soldiers—a truly magnificent victory!

What's our casualty situation?

"Less than five hundred!"

The casualty ratio was almost ten to one, and among the Qin soldiers who were wounded or killed, not many actually died in battle.

The Qin army laid an ambush in advance, setting up an inescapable trap, and also had a powerful battle formation to coordinate with it.

They have the right timing, the right location, and the right people.

"call--"

Only at this moment, watching the battlefield gradually subside, did Zhang Shuo finally breathe a sigh of relief and a smile appear on his face.

"Order that 1,000 men be left to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the soldiers rest for three hours before heading north immediately."

Zhang Shuo clenched his fists, not only wanting this great victory, but also wanting to annihilate the Baiyang Xiongnu in one fell swoop!

……

Two hundred li away from Gaoliu City, on the edge of the Yan River, lies Dingling Town.

This town briefly belonged to the Qin and Zhao states, and some of its inhabitants were relocated here to guard the border.

However, with the fall of the Qin Empire, Dingling Town was reoccupied by the Xiongnu.

The soil and water here are fertile, making it ideal for long-term settlement.

"Damn the Qin and Baiyang people, guarding this grassland without ever uttering a sound, wanting to monopolize this grassland that belongs to all the eagles, they are truly despicable!"

"The Xiongnu general Lanheier said angrily."

Compared to Lan Shinian, a young and fierce general of the new generation of the Linhu tribe, Lan Heier was already middle-aged and could not match Lan Shinian's bravery, but his eyes were full of wisdom.

He was a very senior general among the Lin Hu people. In the brutal alien tribes, it was rare to find a general who could still be alive in middle age.

After arriving belatedly on the south bank of the Yan River, Lanheier had no intention of advancing further and led the main force of the Linhu tribe to garrison there.

The 100,000 Xiongnu who marched south to attack the Qin army at Yunzhong and Yanmen were only nominally a collective force; in reality, they were a coalition of various tribes.

Apart from the White Sheep King who had already gone south, Lan Hei'er was the most senior.

Or rather, it's because Lanheier's fist is big enough.

He came from the Linhu tribe, one of the major tribes that supported Modu Chanyu. He followed Modu Chanyu in his campaigns and eventually received a surname from him.

When Lan Heier decided to hold back, everyone planned to follow in his footsteps.

Therefore, the other 90,000 Xiongnu troops who went south were stationed on the banks of the Yan River and never went south.

Only a few high-ranking military officers from various tribes would occasionally accompany Lanheer on his travels.

At this moment, everyone agreed with what Lan Heier said!

"The Qin people are the ones who deserve to die the most! Back then, they drove us north, killing everyone they saw, seizing thousands of miles of fertile grasslands, and driving us to the desolate northern lands!"

"Yes, fortunately we encountered the Great Khan, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to make a comeback!"

"Now, all this fertile land is ours!"

"Not just here, but soon all the prosperous cities of the Qin Kingdom in the south will be ours."

"..."

Everyone laughed and praised Maodun, but their expressions didn't show much emotion.

But those were just polite words.

Maodun's fist is now bigger, and he is forcing them to unite.

Otherwise, if we go back ten years, all of these people present would be mortal enemies!

Only his remarks to the Qin army were truly sincere.

Damn Qin army! No wonder they marched north to attack the Linhu and other large tribes back then; it turns out this grassland was damnably fertile.

If we could let them occupy this place and develop for more than ten years, who wouldn't become the top tribe on the grassland!

The phrase "damned Lin Hu tribe and the like were driven to the north by the Qin army" is merely a way of saying how hateful and tyrannical the Qin people were.

But no one has ever said why the Qin people wanted to occupy this land!

The people had different expressions, and then they started chatting about all sorts of random things.

At this moment, the chief of a small tribe asked, "But are we really not going south to support the Aries people?"

The 90,000-strong army marched south and spread out along the banks of the Yuyan River for over a hundred miles, but remained inactive. This is not a good thing.

You should know that they came with orders from the Great Chanyu.

Their ferocity and tyranny are largely innate.

This desolate land cannot nurture kind people.

Not everyone was willing to remain inactive; they were simply too intimidated by Lan Hei'er's power to launch a solo attack.

Lan Heier pondered and said, "It's not the right time yet. The Qin army is ruthless; they wiped out the army in Gaoliu City earlier!"

"Now the Qin army has a large presence along the Great Wall, and it has the imposing presence of the Great Wall army of yesteryear."

"We don't know what the Qin army is up to right now, so let the Baiyang people test them out."

Seeing that the other party still had something to say, Lan Heier reminded him, "Don't worry, the Aries are all cavalry. If they face a large-scale attack from the Qin army, they will prove the strength of the Eagles and fight to the death for the Xiongnu."

"That will be our opportunity!"

How could the Qin army, now free from the protection of the Great Wall, face tens of thousands of Xiongnu warriors?
