Qin Official

Chapter 1023 The Siege of Baideng

"Is the person surrounded by me really really Hei Fu himself?"

Although everything Mao Dun did since the "defeat" in Guangyang County more than a month ago was to lure the Qin army's chariots and cavalry to pursue them deeply, and then use the Xiongnu's advantage to surround and annihilate them, but when they caught After the last chance, Mao Dun couldn't believe that he could have such good luck.

In fact, when the war really started, things did not go as planned. From the strength of the Qin army to the fierce resistance of the generations, everything the Huns could not predict in advance.

As a result, on the three-hundred-mile journey from Dai County to Pingcheng, several ambushes expected by the Huns had to be hastily canceled.

To put it pessimistically, if the Qin army did not choose to attack rashly in Pingcheng and leave the city wall, the Xiongnu would face a dilemma:

He took the initiative and fought 30,000 Qin troops in Pingcheng, hoping to annihilate them before their large forces arrived.

Or he could completely give up the strategy of luring the enemy, turn the lie into reality, and flee with Han Guang outside the Great Wall.

Fortunately, the Qin army, which had been victorious all the way, was already arrogant. After the Pingcheng battle, when they heard that the Huns were weak, they sent more than 10,000 men to chase them. Maodun also seized this last opportunity and launched a counterattack northeast of Pingcheng.

However, the reaction speed of the Qin army when encountering the enemy was much faster than he expected. After being attacked, the enemy took advantage of the deep snow and the difficulty of moving horses to retreat south, retreating to Baishan Mountain and repelling the Huns' attack.

Mao Dun originally wanted to give up, but because of one incident, he gritted his teeth and surrounded the Qin army with 50,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 Dai troops...

Just because people recognized it, this Qin army was carrying the flag of the current supreme ruler of the Qin Dynasty, the Grand Master, the Regent, the Grand Lieutenant, the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, Xia Gong Heifu!

Baishan Mountain is not big, only one mile high, and is surrounded by dozens of miles. There is neither water source nor forest on it. In winter, when the shrubs and grass leaves die, it is just a bare highland with no trenches or dangers. It is all gentle slopes. The cavalry came and went on smooth ground, so it was easy for the Huns to attack. The more than 10,000 Qin troops who fled to the top could only dig temporary trenches, set up spears to resist, and relied on the range of their crossbows to prevent the Xiongnu from climbing up.

In the view of the Huns, the trapped Qin army was still in order, and three big flags were clearly erected among them.

"Is that really the regent of Qin?"

This is the first time Mao Dun has confirmed this to Dairen.

"It's definitely Heifu."

In the Kingdom of Dai, the person who worked most wholeheartedly for the Huns was not Han Guang, but Zhao Li, a descendant of the old Zhao Kingdom. At this moment, he was also wearing Hu clothes, riding on a horse, and guiding the trapped Qin army. The three flags told Moton their meanings one by one.

"The large white scroll bordered by black dragons has the word 'Qin' written in official script on it. I heard that since Hei Fu started his army, he has called himself 'New Qin', based on the official script, so as to be the same as Qin Shihuang , the small seal script used by Hu Hai was used to distinguish it."

"As for the one embroidered with the words 'Ding Yu Yi' and with a bronze eagle flying on it, it is a military flag."

"I heard from people that Heifu believed in the debate between famous people and their names, and he liked to name things and cities, and the army was no exception. The army under his command was originally called the Southern Expeditionary Army, then it was changed to the Northern Expeditionary Army, and now it is also called Dingding. An army..."

"There is also the Tengu flag chosen by Hei Fu to represent his family's Wei family."

Zhao Li made an analogy: "The Qin Emperor with the surname Ying is like the Xiongnu's Gutu Chanyu, who can only come from the Luotang family for thousands of years. And Heifu is like other Xiongnu families who want to seize the great empire." It is not easy for Shan Yu to be recognized for his position, so he did not call himself emperor for the time being, but called him regent..."

He also carefully selected the flag and emblem for his family.

It is a big sky dog ​​that is devouring stars. The dog is extremely black and holds stars in its arms, as if it wants to swallow them in one bite. Some people say that the one in the middle is the moon. The moon represents the country with the surname Ying. The heart of the black husband is clearly revealed. .

Some people also say that the bright red star is the Yinghuo Star. Hei Fu is the one who has sworn to protect order and eliminate war.

But no matter what, the presence of these three flags means that Heifu is here.

"Just like there is always the green eagle crown of the Great Chanyu under the Jiuyou Eagle Band, Hei Fu himself will also be in the army and trapped on this mountain by the Great Chanyu!"

Zhao Li told this, making Mao Dun's eyes brighter and brighter. When the captured Qin prisoners confessed under torture, they said that Xia Gong did personally lead the troops here, and Mao Dun couldn't help laughing.

"In the Helan Mountains, this man sent Chen Ping to drive a wedge between Touman and me, causing me to flee to the west from the Yuezhi. He also broke up my subordinates, occupied my territory, and pursued the Huns. Fortunately, I led everyone to flee north early, and I never thought about it. , he also has today!"

He is a very vindictive person, and he really hates that experience!

Mao Dun was a man who was extremely good at seizing opportunities. Whether it was to kill his father and become independent, or to defeat Donghu and intervene in the civil war in the Central Plains, it was just right.

And now, Mao Dun felt that he had encountered a golden opportunity again!

Zhao Li's analogy is correct. If we use the relationship between the Huns to compare the situation in the Central Plains, it would be as if the Luotang family was betrayed by one of their lowly servants, and the Shanyu family was expelled and exterminated.

However, due to deep-rooted customs, even if the lowly man has the power, if he wants to be a Chanyu, he will definitely incur the opposition of the Huyan, Lan, Xubu and other noble surnames, so he can only govern in the name of the wise king. , leaving the Shanyu position vacant...

"I heard that his son is still young. Once Heifu dies here, his subordinates will fight fiercely to fight for Heifu's inheritance. And the descendants of Qin Shihuang and the ministers who are dissatisfied with Heifu will be killed. The descendants of the Six Kingdoms will once again be divided into one country."

"If we can defeat his army and kill Hei Fu here, the Central Plains will be in chaos again!"

Mao Dun was so excited that he sent all the Xiongnu cavalry that had been placed on the front line of the Great Wall to go south. If he stood on Baishan Mountain and looked down, he would be shocked by the strength of the Xiongnu army: but he saw that all the Xiongnu cavalry in the west were white horses. There are green partridges in the east, black geldings in the north, and geldings in the south. The colors are distinct. This is to lower the morale of the defenders.

The east, west, south, and north were commanded by King Youxian, King Tuqi, and King Youguli respectively, all with ten thousand cavalry. Mao Dun personally led more than ten thousand cavalry, and was in the south with the more than ten thousand soldiers of Han Guang, the king of Dai, to guard against the remaining ten thousand Qin troops in Pingcheng. Come to help.

"Seven days."

He calculated the weather and roads, which was the time for the Qin army to arrive here from Sanggan River, hoping to wipe out the Qin army on the mountain, together with the "Heifu", within seven days.

And if the goal cannot be completed in seven days, then no matter how beneficial this battle is, the Huns must withdraw from the Great Wall!

There is more than one Great Wall. The early Great Wall of the Zhao Kingdom was more than ten miles north of Baidao Mountain. There are earthen walls on the left and right mountains of Baidaoling. Along the stream and Genling Ridge, there is no end to the east and west. The color of the soil is all purple, so the locals call it Zisai.

Dairen Manqiuchen, a general of Dai Wang Han Guang, led 3,000 men, and Maodun's left and right Guduhou were stationed at Zisei. Modun also sent his left and right generals to guard Cailiang Mountain in the east, and Wu Sui in the west. Scout.

After being fully prepared, Maodun still did not order the Huns to attack in an all-out manner. Instead, he surrounded and tested the strength of the Qin army on Baishan Mountain while vigilantly paying attention to the disturbances hundreds of miles around.

He is suspicious by nature, so the alpha wolf never launches an attack rashly, and even always doubts: "What if this is just a black man's plan to set up a false flag, and he himself is not on the White Mountain?"

On the second day of the siege of Baideng, the soldiers of the Qin Army Pingcheng came to the rescue at all costs and were repulsed by Maodun.

On the third day of the Baideng siege, there was no smoke from the mountains. The Qin people must have run out of food and wood for heating. They had to rely on snow for drinking water. But at this moment, a letter from Baideng Mountain completely It dispelled Mao Dun's doubts and made him sure that Heifu must be on this mountain!

The messenger's name was Zhao Yao. He looked downcast and trembling. He presented Modun with a letter said to be written by Xia Gong himself.

Probably because they were pursuing too eagerly, the Qin army didn't even bring any paper and could only write on slips. On that one-foot wooden slip was a humble statement that the Qin people had never seen since the Xiongnu dealt with Qin:

"Xia Gong, the Regent of the Great Qin Dynasty, wishes to ask the Xiongnu how the Great Chan is doing..."
