Chapter 190 Nothing left except corpses!
Upon hearing this, the generals present nodded one after another, and even the First Emperor, who was wearing armor, was thinking secretly.

The Qin State has experienced many hardships in recent years, and the suffering on the border has been particularly severe. It is the country's front line and also the most dangerous place, so the supply of food and fodder must be foolproof.

The curiosity of the crowd was aroused, and the Jinyiwei continued: "Modun led his army to invade our country and won victory after victory with the might of his cavalry."

"Then, he lured General Meng's main force away and only used a small number of cavalry to deal with them, while the main force quietly attacked General Meng's food and forage camp!"

"Nearly half of the food supplies at the border have been reduced to ashes!" He said in a slightly heavy tone.

"Now, General Meng can only lead more than 100,000 main forces of the border army to guard another grain camp and dare not act rashly."

"Even so, the remaining food and grass alone may not be enough to support an army of 300,000 for two months of fighting!"

"Mao Dun's move is to cut off the fire from under the cauldron! Young Master, find a countermeasure quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals in the audience gasped!
Maodun, is he so powerful?!

The cavalry came and went like the wind, and in the plains where the Great Wall's defense line was missing, 20,000 cavalry were enough to fight against 100,000 infantry.

Maodun skillfully used the tactics of luring the tiger away from the mountain and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west to destroy half of the Qin's food supplies in one fell swoop. This man was able to unify the Huns and conquer the Western Regions. He was truly an extraordinary person!

At this moment, Han Xin stepped forward and asked solemnly: "Did the Xiongnu avoid a head-on battle with Meng Tian's border troops, but instead continued to send their main forces to monitor Meng Tian's food reserves?"

"And from time to time they send out small groups of cavalry to harass the people in the northern border of our Great Qin?!"

"Huh?" Jinyiwei exclaimed in surprise, "How did the general know that?"

"That's right. No matter how General Meng provoked him, Maodun always avoided a head-on battle with General Meng Tian!" he explained.

"However, the main force of the Xiongnu is always disturbing the surroundings."

"White Tiger leader ordered me to report this matter to the young master."

Ying Heng nodded and motioned for Han Xin to continue.

Han Xin took a few steps forward and analyzed, "Modun must be a master of military tactics. His strategy is to besiege key points, attack reinforcements, avoid direct conflict with General Meng Tian, ​​reduce losses, and control the food supply route to the border troops of our Great Qin."

"He has only one goal, to cut off the food supply of Meng Tian's 300,000 border troops and let them starve to death at the northern border!"

When everyone heard this, they all gasped!
The faces of Qin Shi Huang, Wang Ben, Meng Yi and others were filled with shock!
They couldn't believe that the horse-riding nation that had once only plundered some food and cloth, a nation that was considered inferior, had such a well-thought-out strategy!

At this time, Meng Yi was still in disbelief, especially he could not accept that his brother Meng Tian and 300,000 border troops had exhausted their lives in the north.

He asked directly: "How is it possible?"

"Have the Huns already possessed such foresight?"

"Besides, our 300,000 Qin troops are mainly infantry, and their consumption is far less than that of the Xiongnu's cavalry."

"By the way, if they can tie down my 300,000 frontier soldiers, the Xiongnu must have at least sent out 50,000 cavalry, right?"

"How do they survive? The cost of cavalry is several times that of infantry!"

As soon as Meng Yi said this, everyone's attention was once again focused on the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei responded: "At first, there were only more than 20,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen crossing the mountains, and they were all the best among the elite."

"After 20,000 Qin troops raided the strategic location of the Northern Pass Great Wall, a gap was opened. Since then, the Xiongnu cavalry has poured into our Great Qin territory like a flood."

"Now, the number of Xiongnu cavalry standing in front of General Meng Tian may be as many as 100,000!"

Meng Yi nodded and thought deeply: "That's right, where does the food for the 100,000 cavalry come from?"

Han Xin stepped forward and answered: "How many people are there in the northern border of our Great Qin? More than a million, right?"

"They eat what the people eat!"

Everyone gasped.

"They actually plundered our Great Qin people? If the people in the northern border were robbed, how would they survive?!" At this moment, everyone looked at the Jinyiwei again, only to see that he had a bitter look on his face and replied: "When I was delivering the message, I passed by a Qin village that was attacked by the Xiongnu."

"The village was littered with the remains of old men, men and boys."

At this point, Jinyiwei's face was filled with sorrow, and he continued, "Other than that, there is nothing else..."

At this moment, the whole audience fell silent.

Nothing, meaning livestock, food, all wealth, even women and girls...

After Jinyiwei finished speaking, the scene fell silent again.

How could a hundred thousand cavalrymen starve when faced with such a wide-open Qin territory?

It was originally thought that the Huns would just plunder some food and leave as usual.

At most, they would plunder all the food from the people of Qin and use it as their military rations.

However, this time is clearly different.

All the men, the elderly and even the boys in the village were killed, leaving the land desolate.

This means that women and young girls were abducted.

This time, the Huns' invasion was no longer limited to the northern border of Qin.

Instead, it was complete plunder!

They also treated women and girls as reproductive tools and forcibly took them away!

If this can still be tolerated, then Qin Shi Huang has no right to be called Qin Shi Huang, and the generals of the Qin Dynasty do not deserve to be called generals!
Just as Ying Che said before, the people are the foundation of the country. Now that even the safety of the people cannot be guaranteed, how can we talk about establishing a country?

What level of rank is there to become an emperor?
Suddenly, everyone's blood boiled.

Qin Shi Huang was totally disregarding everything and was furious: "Those Xiongnu beasts! I will lead my army to destroy them right now!"

This time, it is no longer a matter of Fusu alone, but the entire Qin people are in a crisis of life and death!

The other generals were equally indignant and looked at Ying Che, waiting for his instructions!

Ying Heng's anger was like burning lava, but it was cleverly suppressed by the calm rationality of the decision makers.

He turned to Han Xin and asked: "If I give you an army, can you annihilate the 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry without leaving a single one alive?"

He did not question Han Xin's ability because he knew very well that Han Xin was capable of doing the job and just needed appropriate military support.

Han Xin thought carefully and replied: "If we can add General Meng Tian's 300,000 strong army, we only need to add another 200,000 soldiers and horses to cope with it."

"Of course, the invincible Snow Dragon Cavalry Regiment must accompany you on the northern expedition."

Ying Heng shook his head slightly: "The number of people cannot meet your needs, and you will lead the Snow Dragon Cavalry Regiment."

"I will send 80,000 soldiers led by Wang Ben and Wang Li to accompany you."

"Their primary mission is to use the Snow Dragon Cavalry Regiment to capture the Great Wall Pass, hold their positions, and pin down the Xiongnu cavalry, leaving them with nowhere to hide."

"Afterwards, mobilize 300,000 border guards and fight the enemy at the gate. This will be enough to wipe out the 100,000 cavalry!"

After Ying Heng finished speaking, Han Xin looked surprised. Not only Han Xin, but others were also skeptical about this plan.

The enemy has a hundred thousand strong cavalry. Even if the Snow Dragon Cavalry Regiment is powerful, the number of more than a thousand people seems insignificant.

Even with the support of 80,000 infantry, they would probably be destroyed by the Hun cavalry before reaching the northern border.
