Chapter 889 The Huns had several strongholds

"This?" The deputy commander thought for a moment and said, "Almost, right? There should be more. ”

"Killing 10,000 enemies and losing 3,000 yourself, this is the law of the ages, they should have more casualties than us!"

"No matter what it is, let's find a place to stop and rest. Put out the torch and rest quietly for a while. General Meng Tian said.

Although the Huns were severely damaged, their own side also suffered heavy casualties.

If the Huns had drawn a capable force to hunt us down, we would have to wait for death.

There were about 20,000 Huns, and even if there were two or three thousand casualties this time, there would still be more than 15,000.

It should be possible for them to draw one or two thousand capable soldiers and horses out of them.

And at this time! On General Meng Tian's side, although those who survived were all strong. But everyone was too tired to work, and there were injuries.

Now they're there! What you need most is to eat and rest.

And also! Horses have to eat grass and drink water.

After the battle just now, I don't know where the people on both sides are now.

They did not know whether the main forces of the Huns were still in place. And they themselves don't know where they are.

In this vast desert, it is very difficult and fortunate to find a water source.

On the way to find Fusu, Meng Tian and the others passed by a small river that was not very big.

It's called a small river, but it's not even a stream.

This is a seasonal river, and it is only here when the snow melts in the distant mountains. After the snow melts and the rainy season passes, the river dries up.

But! There are water plants on both sides of the creek.

Just dig a little down to dig up the water source.

So! It's a place to rest.

But! The Qin army was not so familiar with the desert terrain, not as familiar as the Huns.

Generally, this kind of place is the place where the Huns and other nomadic peoples in the north graze. So! They know it better than anyone else.

"Let me try! You're keeping me safe! Fusu said to Meng Tian.

"What are you trying?" Meng Tian asked puzzled.

"I'll open the eyes of the sky? I can go around and see what's going on everywhere? Where the Huns are now camped. We want to avoid the Huns. Otherwise! We're done. ”

"That's right! Good! Meng Tian suddenly realized.

Oh, yes! Why didn't I even think about it? Doesn't Prince Fusu have the kung fu to open the eyes of heaven?

Let him open the magic power of opening the eyes of heaven and take a look around first.

According to the description of Meng Tian and others, Fusu soon found the dry river.

I looked up and down the river, but I didn't find the shadow of the Huns.

"No Huns were found! We can go! ”

"Good!"

Fusu lay on the horseback again and turned on the Open Sky Eye mode. In a flash, he returned to the place where he had encountered the Huns. It turned out that the Huns did not leave, and returned to camp here.

Originally! There is a low depression with aquatic plants and water sources, and it is a good place to camp.

There were many Huns, but there were too few Mengtian's men and horses. Although there have been fierce battles between the two sides, but! And did not arouse the participation of all the Huns.

Meng Tian's 2,000 or so men only fought on the edge of the Xiongnu's army. There are many places where the Huns did not suffer.

"The Huns are still stationed in the same place, it seems that there are more than 20,000, and there are many family members and cattle and sheep, as if they have migrated."

"What? More than 20,000 people? The deputy commander asked.

"That's right! The Huns want to make a profit! Meng Tian nodded.

Whenever the Huns wanted to do a big job, they were silent.

They made a look of grazing, and just slipped to the border of Qin.

Wait until they find out about the situation on the Qin State's side, and while letting the family withdraw, they are ready to attack at any time.

At the speed of their cavalry, they could run hundreds of miles a day.

So! Sneaking up on the border towns of Qin is very simple and quick.

They bypassed the border guards and went straight to rob the town.

Regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, let's kill again. And then! See what to rob what.

After succeeding, evacuate quickly.

When the Qin army took action, they retreated back into the desert.

Where do you go to find the vast desert?

Just when you were looking for traces of the Huns in this place, they suddenly appeared in a small town hundreds of miles away. The method is the same: do a vote and leave.

In a word: attack on all fronts, so that the Qin army cannot find their traces.

But! They tend to have one or more secret strongholds.

When they have had enough, they will evacuate and go back to their nest in the northwest.

After years of war with the Huns, Meng Tian summed up a set of experiences.

There are only two ways to deal with the Huns.

One is! When the Huns came, deal with them first and find out their stronghold. And then! One by one. Two is! When they withdraw, chase them down.

In fact! And a third! That is! Follow the Huns to their lair. And then! Destroy them completely.

It's just that! This is too costly to achieve.

Where is the nest of the Huns? Nobody knows.

It's so far away that you can't go at all.

Furthermore! The Huns were a nomadic people, living on water and grass. Where they feel it is better, they settle there.

The earth is so big, who knows where they ran away to settle down?

So! The only way to clean up the Huns is to wait until they come, so that they will not return.

Leave it alone for now, rest first, and fight tomorrow.

Seeing that the Qin army was not numerous, the Huns would not let go of the opportunity.

I can't let you go back and move the rescuers, it will only make you die in the desert.

That's all! in order to keep their whereabouts secret.

Although the Huns were more cattle than cattle, their numbers were limited after all.

On the Qin army's side, there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or more than three hundred thousand at every turn.

When Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, it was the main force of six or seven hundred thousand field troops.

Are you kidding! If the Qin army had driven all the troops over, they would have been able to directly destroy their Xiongnu.

Not to mention that all of them are destroyed, even if there are some people left?

The number of people is too small, and you are still a mess?

The Huns fought guerrilla warfare, and after they succeeded, they left.

Like thieves and robbers, it is impossible to guard against.

The group extinguished the torches, stopped by the creek, and let the horses go to graze. Someone stood guard, someone went digging water, someone went cooking.

Fusu sat cross-legged and breathed while continuing to go around with the divine power of opening the eyes of the sky.

There was no word for a night, and everyone got a good rest and regained their spirits.

After the sun rose, the group marched to the border of Qin.

Now they have lost contact with the main forces.

Under Fusu's open heavenly eyes, everyone retreated in an orderly manner, trying to bypass the search of the Huns.

It was only at noon that they met the vanguard sent by the large army.

If it weren't for Fusu's magical power to open the eyes of heaven, he wouldn't have been able to meet them.

"How far away is the main force from us?" Meng Tian asked.
