Chapter 218: All were annihilated and returned in triumph!
The First Emperor took off his armor, and as soon as he finished speaking, his pair of piercing dragon eyes stared straight at Meng Tian, and his momentum instantly became as powerful as a rainbow.
Meng Tian froze on the spot.
Is this voice from His Majesty?
How can it be?
He rubbed his eyes vigorously and stared at the First Emperor. He was so young! ?
Isn't this exactly what Your Majesty looked like twenty years ago when he fought alongside Your Majesty to conquer the world?
Your Majesty, how come you are so young and yet appear here?
"Your Majesty? Is it really you? You are not dead?"
"Humph! Meng Tian, you have stayed in the borderland for too long. Don't you even respect me?!"
The First Emperor snorted coldly, and Meng Tian immediately smelled a familiar scent of authority.
With a thud, he fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face!
"Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am so sorry. The Great Wall has been lost. I am ashamed to face you. Wuwuwu~!!"
The tension of several days collapsed at this moment. When Meng Tian saw the First Emperor, he burst into tears!
Now that his Majesty has arrived, he finally doesn’t have to bear this heavy pressure alone!
The First Emperor snorted coldly: "You only now realize your guilt? Back then, I entrusted you with 300,000 of the most courageous soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. What did you promise me?"
"How could the northern border be so easily infiltrated by the Huns?!"
Meng Tian kowtowed and apologized: "I deserve to die! After this battle, I will die to apologize!"
"But Your Majesty, please give me some time now. I will lead 300,000 border troops, together with Your Majesty's reinforcements, to drive out the Huns and drive them out of the Great Wall!"
"Your Majesty, every moment is crucial at this moment! Please tell me the situation at the front line as soon as possible!"
"How many soldiers did you bring this time? What's the situation outside?"
"How did your cavalry team break through the Huns' encirclement and arrive here?!"
Even though Meng Tian felt deeply guilty at this moment, as a commander, he was still concerned about the ever-changing situation on the battlefield.
"Hundreds of thousands of people? How can I have so many troops?"
"I will give you half of the troops to guard the northern border, and the other half to Zhao Tuo to guard Nanyue."
"How many troops can we have within the territory of the Great Qin?"
"Your Majesty, you only brought 6,000 warriors from Area A with you on this trip?"
"This team of 3,000 people is our backbone!"
The First Emperor responded calmly, with firmness in every word.
When Meng Tian heard this, his tears froze instantly and his expression changed drastically.
"What! Only six thousand people?"
"Your Majesty, how dare you lead only 6,000 soldiers into this dangerous place?!"
"The Hun army outside has a force of 100,000. Let alone 6,000, even if there are 300,000 more, I'm afraid it won't be enough to resist!"
"Your Majesty, please enter my camp quickly. Although food and grass are scarce, my 300,000-strong army on the border is still strong."
"It may be difficult for them to defeat the Huns, but there will be no problem in protecting your Majesty's safety!"
At this moment, Meng Tian was only concerned about the safety of the First Emperor and had forgotten about the issue of the Huns.
When the First Emperor saw Meng Tian's nervousness, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Ugh.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Meng Tian. This is the instinctive reaction of the Qin soldiers.
If it weren't for Xiao Shisan's three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders and three thousand Divine Arrow Camp archers, I would probably be as worried as Meng Tian, right?
Thinking of this, the First Emperor's expression softened and he raised his hand.
"Get up."
“No need to go to the central army tent.”
"I have wiped out all the 100,000 Xiongnu troops, with only 10,000 escaping back to the grasslands. Your food crisis will soon be resolved."
??
Meng Tian stood up and listened to the words of the First Emperor with a puzzled look on his face. What was going on?
Am I right?
One hundred thousand Hun cavalry have been completely wiped out?
Totally annihilated? ?
Wasn't he expelled?
Your Majesty only brings 6,000 men?
The other side has 100,000 cavalrymen?
I led 300,000 of the strongest border troops of the Qin Dynasty, but I still couldn't hold my head up in front of the Huns.
And Your Majesty, with only 6,000 soldiers, you were able to annihilate 100,000 cavalrymen in one fell swoop? !
Meng Tian felt unbelievable.
He had been in the army for decades, and even in the era when the Qin army was at its strongest and killing one person could be rewarded, he had never seen such a brilliant record.
What's more, now they were facing the Hun cavalry who had broken into the interior, and Meng Tian had been confronting them for many years.
He knew very well how terrifying the Hun cavalry would be without the defense of the Great Wall.
Not to mention annihilating them completely, even if the Qin army had a slight advantage, they could whip their horses and escape in an instant, making it impossible to catch up.
Yet now, he was told that he had destroyed 100,000 enemy cavalry with only 6,000 men?
How is it possible?
Have the Huns all become fools, just standing there and letting us behead them?
Even so, it will take several days to chop it, right?
But is this reasonable?
Meng Tian looked at the First Emperor, his face full of disbelief, as if he was listening to a myth.
"Your Majesty? Did I hear you correctly? You led only 6,000 men and wiped out 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry?"
The First Emperor admired Meng Tian's shocked expression with satisfaction. This was exactly the reaction a Qin general should have, just like the disbelief he felt when he first saw the Qin's changes.
Recalling this incident, the First Emperor smiled gently, put his hands behind his back, and showed his majesty.
"What's so surprising about this? The Xiongnu were just a group of weak prey. I only had 3,000 cavalrymen, but I wiped out 50,000 of them at the beginning of the war."
"As for the three thousand sharpshooters, they were only the icing on the cake in the last two battles. They wiped out the remaining Xiongnu in two attacks."
Three thousand three thousand?
Meng Tian was even more confused and could not believe it. If what Your Majesty said was true, and three thousand men could destroy one hundred thousand Huns, then wouldn't his three hundred thousand border troops be useless?
He turned his head stiffly and looked at Fusu, hoping to get confirmation from the familiar prince that he was just hallucinating.
However, Meng Tian was desperate to see Fusu nodded, confirming the truth of what His Majesty said.
"Your Majesty! It's not that I don't believe you!"
"But how could such a thing happen in this world?!"
"The Xiongnu's horsemanship and archery are the best in the world. How could you possibly do that with only 3,000 men?"
The First Emperor smiled indifferently and continued to show his majesty.
"Before I came, they were number one in the world."
"After I came here, they were no longer like that."
"Forget it. Words are not enough. I guess my three thousand sharpshooters will arrive soon."
"Go and arrange the cooking and prepare more horse feed. Everything will be clear in a moment."
Meng Tian conveyed the order hesitantly. Although the border army generals did not understand why, they still followed the order to cook and prepare food and fodder.
Two hours later, the sun was shining brightly.
Dust was rising in the distance, and Meng Tian was eagerly waiting in the outer camp.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of war horses jumped into his sight.
Behind the herd of horses, it seemed as if a large army was marching slowly.
Meng Tian stared with eyes wide open, staring ahead in disbelief. Tens of thousands of the Huns' tall war horses were galloping towards him.
That's right!
This is the Huns’ war horse!
He couldn't be more familiar!
What does the appearance of these horses mean?
It means that the Huns' soldiers have been completely wiped out and their mounts have been captured!
