Chapter 116

In the Saibei grassland, the cry of killing resounded through the sky.

The vanguard of the Qin army led by Xin Sheng and the vanguard of the Hu people's coalition fought together. The two sides had an attitude of never ending. As soon as the battle started, the entire grassland was already full of corpses.

In order not to expose the three treasures of the cavalry, the vanguard cavalry of the Qin Army still used the original equipment, but all the bows and crossbows equipped were Liannu after debugging by Gongshuchou.

In close combat, the five consecutive crossbows doubled the attack power of the Qin army, and the oncoming barbarian cavalry could not take advantage of the melee at all, so they could only attack with bows and arrows at a distance from the Qin army.

It's a pity that under this tactic, they have fewer and fewer means of attack, coupled with the backwardness of equipment, the casualties are getting higher and higher.

Touman saw it in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart.

But in the face of the Qin army's fortress like a copper wall and iron wall, he had no choice but to let the soldiers charge wildly, trying to break through the defense.

Unfortunately, all efforts were in vain.

Zhong Nan, the leader of the Yue clan next to him, looked at the tragic death of Erlang, and his heart was bleeding.

"No, it can't go on like this. Why did Qin Jun's crossbows become so powerful all of a sudden, and they can still attack uninterruptedly? Touman, did you know in advance that you deliberately deceived my son to come to die?"

Touman looked at the shaken allies beside him and quickly explained: "How is it possible, I also lost a lot of sons."

"I don't care. If I attack like this, then I won't do it."

With that said, Zhong Nan was ready to rein in his horse and leave.

Touman grabbed him: "Don't go, what shall we do next after you go?"

"What to do, my son is here to grab the spoils, not to eat the arrows."

The two quarreled, causing chaos in the Huns' army.

The leaders of the Yue clan headed by Zhong Nan all suspected that the Huns deliberately let them go to die as a shield.

On the other side, Ying Zheng stood on the wall of Zengcheng, looking down at the battlefield in the distance, with the corner of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Your Majesty, in one hour, we beheaded six thousand people and killed countless others. Our army lost less than two thousand people." Wang Ben quickly climbed up the city wall to report the good news to Ying Zheng.

"Good! Good!"

After Ying Zheng listened, he applauded again and again.

The Huns are strong, and the vanguard is the one who bravely crowns the three armies.In previous confrontations, the casualties of both sides were often one to two, or even one to one.

But now there are one to three casualties, and it's a head-to-head confrontation in the field. Such a record is already a rare victory.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be a commotion in the army of the Xiongnu. It seems that the old guy Touman can't sit still." Feng Quji joked beside him.

Ying Zheng sneered and said: "Touman has robbed countless border residents over the years, and now I have to make him suffer. Wang Qing, send an order to Xin Sheng and tell him to give me a severe beating. If I can annihilate Touman, Forward, I have a lot of rewards."

"Hi!"

Wang Ben quickly ordered the messenger to convey the news.

Only then did Ying Zheng, who had won, heaved a sigh of relief.

Even before the expedition, there was still great opposition to attacking the Xiongnu Dynasty.

Among the Sangong Jiuqing, except for Wang Ben who supported the attack, the rest were either neutral or directly opposed.

If it hadn't been for Yingzheng to overcome all opinions and forcibly attack, I am afraid that the attack on the Xiongnu will be temporarily shelved.

Now, the army has won its first victory, and Ying Zheng can feel proud.

At this moment, his heart is full of confidence. If he can really occupy the two key positions of the Hetao Plain and the Hexi Corridor as Zhao Gang said, the end of the Huns may really be coming.

"By the way, where's that brat Zhao Gang? Has any of you seen him?"

Feng Quji replied: "I have too many trivial matters in my hands, and I really don't care about him. If my guess is right, he may still be in the Huotou Camp."

The matter of Zhao Xing has always been a heartache in Feng Quji's heart.

Although it was finally proved that the murderer was not Zhao Gang.

But Zhao Xing died more or less because of him, and this dissatisfaction was passed on to Zhao Gang, which made Feng Quji turn a blind eye to Zhao Gang's talent.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "The Huotou Camp is good. At least the Huotou Camp doesn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy."

Feng Quji was a little surprised.

For a long time, there have always been rumors about the relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and Zhao Gang.

Many people even said that Zhao Gang might be His Majesty's illegitimate son.

But without proof, it's all just speculation.

But in a blink of an eye, he thought again, the eldest son Fusu and the eighteenth son Hu Hai, the two most beloved sons of the emperor, could not be remembered as long as Zhao Gang.

Even when fighting on this battlefield, Ying Zheng could still think of Zhao Gang.

In this case, there is only one explanation.

This kid is Ying Zheng's illegitimate son, otherwise, Ying Zheng wouldn't be so concerned about it.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji suddenly became worried.

What if after a hundred years from His Majesty the emperor, the throne does not fall to the eldest son Fusu, but to Zhao Gang, then he...

Suddenly he felt a chill down his spine.

Just as Feng Quji was thinking wildly, there was a sudden commotion beside him.

Everyone looked intently, only to see a huge white object suddenly floating in the air behind them, and there seemed to be flames in the middle of the object.

"People... there are actually people up there."

"Look, that thing is floating towards us."

All the surrounding soldiers shouted loudly in surprise.

Although the flying mechanism beast is powerful, its maximum flight is only twenty or thirty steps away from the ground.

The thing in front of him is at least a hundred paces away.

Unlike the surprise of the soldiers, Ying Zheng's eyes were full of guard at this moment.

His right hand instinctively placed on the hilt of the Tianwen Sword.

"Send the order down, and the crossbowman will aim for me. If that thing floats over, shoot it down with the crossbow immediately."

"Your Majesty?" Wang Ben was a little surprised.

"The appearance of this thing is really too coincidental. If the rebels hide in it and float down like this, let them collude with the Huns outside the city, it will definitely reveal the truth in my city. Wang Qing, execute it quickly."

"Hi!"

Wang Ben waved his hand, and the crossbowmen on both sides of the Chinese army were already in full battle, with countless arrows aimed at the hot air balloons flying in the sky.

As the hot air balloon got closer and closer, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

As experts, they understand that under this kind of upward shooting, even with a bow and crossbow in hand, it may be difficult to hurt them at all.

On the contrary, if the people on the hot air balloon attack, the people below have no room to parry.

"Prepare!"

Under Wang Ben's order, hundreds of crossbowmen raised their crossbows high.

"Hey, father, don't shoot arrows, we are here!"

Hearing Wang Li's voice from the hot air balloon, Wang Ben was startled, and quickly ordered all the crossbowmen to stop attacking.

Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly saw Zhao Gang.

"Zhao Gang, what the hell are you doing?" Wang Ben shouted loudly.

Zhao Gang leaned forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, just watch how I, Zhao Gang, defeat the Xiongnu."
