Chapter 217 Meng Yi, don’t you recognize me?

The next day, after getting up, the First Emperor led the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Divine Arrow Battalion straight to Dai County.

On the other side of Meng Tian's army, neither his army nor the more than 20,000 remaining Hun warriors had yet noticed the changes in the situation on this land.

Dai County is located in the northeastern corner of the Qin Empire. It is a border area that is barren and poor.

Among them, Dai County carries a vital mission, which is to store food and fodder supplies for 300,000 border guards.

At this moment, in order to ensure the preservation of the strongest combat power of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian had to withdraw the border troops to Dai County, vowing to guard this last granary in the north, while looking forward to assistance from Xianyang.

Prior to this, the Xiongnu's Chanyu Maodun led a surprise cavalry attack, catching Meng Tian off guard. The 300,000 border troops suffered a fierce attack before they could even assemble, and were unable to fight back.

Only with Meng Tian's outstanding military talents and infantry phalanxes were they able to barely resist the charge of the Xiongnu cavalry and gather the border troops in the Dai County granary to hold their ground.

However, facing the Huns' cavalry, Meng Tian could only choose to hold on, and attacking was not a wise move.

At this time, he saw that the food and grass were about to run out and could only support him for about 20 days. The rescue from Xianyang had not arrived yet. If there was no more reinforcements, Meng Tian had to make a desperate move and lead 300,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with the Huns within ten days!

Otherwise, they would be trapped to death, with no other options. On that day, scouts reported that dozens of miles away, they heard the sound of a large Xiongnu army fighting.

Meng Tian was overjoyed and immediately ordered all camps to get ready to break out of the siege with him.

He knew that the reinforcements had finally arrived, and now was the perfect time for the border troops and the Xianyang army to join forces to drive out the Xiongnu cavalry.

Two hours later, 300,000 border defense troops were ready to go.

Meng Tian stood in the center of the army and led his troops south, planning to encircle the Xiongnu cavalry fifty miles away.

However, the scout reported again: "General! Three thousand silver-armored cavalrymen were spotted ahead, galloping towards us, and there seemed to be a large number of soldiers following behind them!"

At this time, the scouts saw three thousand silver-armored Snow Dragon Knights leading the way, followed closely by three thousand Divine Arrow Battalion, carrying more than ten thousand Hun war horses.

In just two hours, the Snow Dragon Knights and the Divine Arrow Battalion had wiped out the remaining Huns, cleared the battlefield, and joined forces in the direction of Meng Tian's army.

Under the surprise attack of the Snow Dragon Knights and the Divine Arrow Battalion, the 20,000 Hun cavalry were almost wiped out in a few rounds of arrow rain.

Most of them were instantly wiped out by the Divine Archer Battalion, and the few who tried to escape were also caught up by the Snow Dragon Knights and wiped out in an instant.

In this battle, 6,000 soldiers from two branches easily killed 20,000 Hun cavalry.

The combination of the Snow Dragon Knights and the Divine Archer Battalion is undoubtedly a nightmare for the Hun cavalry.

The First Emperor finally understood why Xiao Shisan wanted him to command these two invincible armies!

Powerful, so powerful!
Even the First Emperor himself still found it unbelievable after the war.

Not to mention Fusu, he had never seen such a powerful Hun cavalry that he was helpless in the battle and couldn't even escape!

This time, it was different from yesterday's ambush in the mountains.

In this duel, the three thousand divine arrow battalions faced the Hun cavalry with a fearless attitude, lured the enemy to charge, and then used precise rain of arrows to shoot down the Hun cavalry one by one from their horses. This scene left Fusu dumbfounded.

In contrast, he and Meng Tian once led an army of 300,000 on the border, but were forced into a desperate situation by tens of thousands of Hun cavalry and were unable to break through. It is truly regrettable.

At this moment, Fusu seemed to feel that the image of his thirteenth brother suddenly became majestic and mysterious.

Soon, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry met Meng Tian's border troops.

When Meng Tian saw that the Snow Dragon Cavalry was holding the Qin flag and Fusu walked out of the central army, everything became clear to him.

It turned out to be reinforcements!
Only three thousand people?

It seems that this is just the vanguard of the reinforcements!

How did they avoid the Hun cavalry and appear here?
The Hun cavalry behind them didn't pursue them?
Just let them enter safely? Meng Tian was full of doubts, but no matter what, with Fusu here, this cavalry is undoubtedly the Qin army.

Soon, Qin Shi Huang, Fusu and Meng Tian entered the temporary tent.

Meng Tian was a burly and rough man, in stark contrast to his gentle and refined brother Meng Yi.

He is over 40 years old and has experienced many years of hardships in the frontier. His face is full of traces of time and he looks more like a man in his fifties.

Meng Tian was overjoyed to see Fusu. He held Fusu's arm tightly and said, "My Lord Fusu, I'm so glad that you are safe and sound."

"I'm afraid that after you get the news, you'll rush to the northern border and fall into the hands of the Huns!"

"By the way, where are your two hundred guards?"

"Also, are those 3,000 cavalry outside reinforcements from Xianyang? How did they break through the enemy's defenses?"

"Their defense is impenetrable. I sent people to deliver letters many times, but they were intercepted every time!"

"By the way, who is the leader of those cavalrymen? Why do their armor styles look a bit strange?"

"I haven't been back to Xianyang for many years, so I don't know much about the current situation of Qin."

"How are the Huns outside now? How is the battle going?"

"How many reinforcements have arrived from Xianyang, and which generals have been sent?"

"My army of 300,000 is ready to go. Shall we attack now and catch the Xiongnu off guard?"

Meng Tian threw out a series of questions in one breath.

Indeed, at this moment he was full of doubts and his anxiety was beyond words.

He also knew that this was not the time to reminisce about the past. The war situation was tense and the fleeting opportunity could not be missed.

If his 300,000 frontier troops are needed for support, he must lead them out immediately. War is no joke!
However, while Meng Tian was anxious and worried, the two people opposite him seemed calm and composed.

Facing Meng Tian's questions, Fusu's expression was unpredictable. He showed emotion for surviving the disaster, grief for losing his personal guards, excitement for watching the battle, and an anxious smile to Meng Tian.

He was trying to convey something.

Finally, he saw the First Emperor standing calmly with his hands behind his back, silent, so he also kept silent.

Even with the mask on, Fusu could feel his father's majesty.

Under Meng Tian's urgent questioning, Fusu looked at the silent Qin Shihuang with doubt in his eyes.

The First Emperor said nothing, and his silence terrified everyone.

At this moment, Meng Tian realized the existence of the First Emperor.

At first, he thought that this cavalry commander was just a general under Fusu, and that he accompanied him only to protect the emperor.

But now it seems that this person is extraordinary, and even Fusu seems to be afraid of him.

Meng Tian asked in confusion: "General, can you tell me your name? Why don't you take off your armor when facing me?"

As the commander-in-chief of 300,000 troops on the Qin border, Meng Tian's prestige in the court was second only to Wang Jian.

There is nothing wrong with such questioning for military generals.

However, the general gently lifted up his silver face armor, and his pair of deep dragon-like eyes stared coldly at Meng Tian, ​​and said in a low voice: "Meng Tian, ​​I haven't seen you for many years, and you don't even recognize me?"
