Chapter 105 No matter how big a tiger is, it is afraid of arrows

"See Your Majesty!"

A large number of officials from Jiuyuan County came to pay their respects, and they all saluted and shouted.

"Get up and tell me the situation!"

Ying Zheng's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

At this time, many officials stood up one after another. Although everyone's eyes seemed to be on Ying Zheng, in fact, their attention had already been attracted by the huge strange beast beside Ying Zheng.

In the past few years, news of Peicheng's events has been heard from time to time. Everyone knows a lot of things, such as the immortal on Yinxian Peak. Ying Zheng is not only the immortal's disciple, but he is also protected by the immortal beasts on Yinxian Peak...

Not only that, more than three years ago, Han Xin, a disciple of the immortal from Yinxian Peak, also went to Jiuyuan County and even became famous in one battle. He fought against hundreds of enemies alone and directly penetrated the enemy, becoming a legend.

Several years have passed, and Han Xin's reputation is still circulating in Jiuyuan County.

At this time, the Huns were aggressively attacking the pass. When the officials of Jiuyuan County heard that the First Emperor would lead the army in person, they were both shocked and expectant.

Now seeing the terrifying giant beast beside Ying Zheng, everyone felt relieved. The Qin Dynasty was indeed the home of immortals. With the immortals backing them up, the disaster from the Huns was nothing.

At this time, the governor of Jiuyuan County hurried forward to explain the current situation.

This time, the Huns brought an army of nearly 100,000, stationed outside the Great Wall, and drove out the captured soldiers and civilians to attack the city. The two sides had several small-scale encounters, with half winning and half losing.

And now, Jiuyuan County has also assembled 300,000 Qin troops, but relatively speaking, the number of Qin cavalry is less than that of the Huns, but the number of Huns is not as large as that of the Qin army, so each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

However, according to the course of history, after Touman's son Maodun Chanyu ascended the throne, he launched campaigns to the east and the west, and the power of the Xiongnu expanded rapidly. Later, he even annexed the Donghu and had an army of more than 300,000. He then moved south and even invaded Taiyuan, Jinyang and other places.

Even the founding emperor Liu Bang was trapped in Baideng City for seven days and almost lost his life.

After the failure of the campaign against the Huns, Liu Bang had no choice but to follow Liu Jing's advice and marry the Huns to his wife, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

Even after the marriage, the threat from the Huns continued and they often invaded the border territories. It was not until the reign of Emperor Wu of Han that the Han Dynasty switched from defense to offense.

This was due to the sudden increase in the strength of the Huns, and also because during the late Qin Dynasty, the major princes in the Central Plains fought each other and suffered heavy losses, which led to the weakening of national strength in the early Han Dynasty. Otherwise, it would not have been so passive.

But now that the First Emperor of Qin is still alive, the Qin state is at its peak, with many brave generals and abundant martial virtues, it is naturally not as difficult to fight against the Huns as it was at the beginning of the Han Dynasty.

What's more, Ying Zheng now has several immortal disciples to help him, and there are strange beasts at his side. The officials of Jiuyuan County have no fear of the Huns anymore.

Ying Zheng came over for two or three days and inspected the situation.

Finally, on the third day, the mighty Hun army attacked.

Outside Jiuyuan County, an overwhelming number of iron cavalry rumbled in, as if thunder was making a dull sound and the earth was shaking.

The Hun army of nearly 100,000 people swept in like a black tide, and the scene was very sensational and shocking.

When they were about to approach the city wall, the Hun army gradually stopped, because in front of them, there were hundreds of thousands of Qin troops lined up in a black, neat and powerful formation.

There are shield carts, spears, crossbows and other weapons ready in front.

"Hahaha, the Qin army actually dared to go out of the city to fight, how bizarre!"

"There are quite a few people, but unfortunately there are not many cavalry."

"We still need to be careful. I wonder what general the enemy has sent over?"

When the dozen or so Hun generals saw that the Qin army dared to go out of the city to fight, many of them burst into laughter, with bloodthirsty excitement on their faces.

Seeing that his father Touman Chanyu and other generals looked down on the Qin army, Touman's eldest son, Maodun, could not help but give them a warning.

Maodun, the eldest son of Touman, was naturally the next Khan of the Xiongnu, but in fact, Maodun had already developed a huge rift with his father. Because Maodun's father, Touman, did not like Maodun before, he sent him to the Yuezhi in the west as a hostage. As a result, he turned around and attacked the Yuezhi, hoping to kill his eldest son with the help of the Yuezhi.

Unfortunately, as soon as Maodun heard the news, he snatched the Yuezhi's horses and fled, returning to the Xiongnu's territory in a few days and nights.

When Touman saw him come back, he thought he was very brave and appointed him to lead 10,000 cavalry.

However, Maodun already understood what had happened before, and was now secretly preparing to kill his father and seize power.

According to the original historical development, Maodun would use the whistling arrows he had already made to train his subordinates.

Anyway, wherever he fired the flare, his subordinates had to shoot arrows together, otherwise they would be executed.

He first shot dead birds and beasts, his beloved horse, and then his most beloved wife, in order to train his subordinates. Anyone who could not shoot an arrow would be beheaded.

He trained everyone to shoot wherever the whistle arrow came from, without even thinking too much. Finally, he found an opportunity and shot the whistle arrow at his father Touman, who was instantly turned into a hedgehog.

He then seized power and inherited the throne of Chanyu. Such a vicious man indeed led the Huns to rise rapidly and become the most powerful country in the northern grasslands, and even suppressed the Han Dynasty.

When they heard Maodun's words at this time, neither Touman nor many Xiongnu generals took them seriously.

At this time, the Huns were planning to send people out to make a statement, to attract some hatred, and to find out who the other side's main general was.

At this moment, they suddenly saw that the Qin army in front of them suddenly moved and began to advance slowly in their direction.

At this time, the two sides were about a mile apart, which was conducive for the cavalry to accumulate strength for the charge. However, when they saw that the Qin army started fighting without saying anything, Touman and others were a little surprised.

The two sides just started to prepare their positions, and the Qin army was so impatient.

However, just as they were about to launch a large cavalry charge, suddenly, the dozen or so Hun generals present rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"What the hell is that???"

"A huge tiger. How is this possible???"

"Hiss, what happened? Am I hallucinating?"

"How come a huge black tiger suddenly appeared in the Qin army? This must be fake!"

At this time, not only a dozen Hun generals were in an uproar, but the Hun cavalry around them also began to have a small-scale commotion.

No one had ever seen such a big tiger, and this tiger was actually black, with a completely black body and a faint luster. It stood up from the Qin army and gradually walked to the front.

Apparently it was because it was lying on the ground just now, so no one saw it at first.

"Why are you panicking? No matter how big a tiger is, it is afraid of arrows. If so many people shoot arrows at it, it will turn into a hornet's nest in an instant!"

Touman's face was solemn and he shouted decisively.

After hearing Touman's words, the dozen or so generals behind him immediately felt that what he said made sense.

Just as they were giving orders to charge and shoot arrows, they saw five men riding out on horseback from the front of the Qin army.

What's even more outrageous is that these people are not wearing armor, but tight clothes, with swords hanging from their waists and spears or halberds in their hands.

Then the horses they were riding sped up faster and faster. As their war horses increased in speed, the speed of the black tiger on one side also suddenly soared, turning into a black lightning and pouncing towards them.

The distance was more than a mile, or even less than a kilometer. With the speed of the black tiger, it would reach them in less than ten breaths.
