Chapter 368

"North." Lin Xin looked at the vast snowfield. Although there was no sun on the cloudy day, he still had the ability to distinguish directions.

"I just want to go north." Wei Huo's face showed a cold smile: "This time, we are not only looking for the main force of the Huns, but also finding the Huns' nests. I don't believe that all the nomadic people live nomadic people. The elderly and children cannot withstand trouble in such ice and snow. If there is no place to settle down, it is nonsense."

A soldier like Lin Xin originally regarded this trip as a routine matter, but now when he heard Wei Huo’s words, his eyes suddenly lit up. The soldiers were afraid that there was no war to fight. According to Wei Huo’s words, it seemed that they could not run away this time, and they had to collect some military merits.

"The Huns must have old nests deep in the grassland. This time we go north all the way north. Once we find the main force of the Huns, we will immediately send a sentry to report the reward. We will bypass the main force of the Huns and bring them a fire in the backyard." Wei Huo was ready to rush.

Wei Huo had thought of the goal of this operation before sending troops. In order to keep military secrets, he only told Marshal Han Xin about this matter before departure. Han Xin fully supported Wei Huo.

It is extremely difficult to find the Huns' nest on the grassland full of snow. Moreover, the Huns' nest that Wei Huo speculated did not know whether it existed. After all, this was the first time that Daqin had left the Great Wall and launched an attack on the northern grassland.

Meng Tian was powerful back then, and he only drove the Huns out of the border of the Qin Dynasty. He did not go deep into the grasslands, but rushed thousands of miles into the hinterland of the Huns.

In Han Xin's words, what Wei Huo did was an unprecedented feat. If it could be successful, it would bring a new way to the battle between the Qin and the Huns.

The army cautiously advanced on the snowy grassland.

After two days of wind and snow, the weather finally released a hint of sunshine. The sun poked its head out of the cracks of the cracks of the dark clouds, and the light immediately shone with the white snow on the snow field. Wei Huo's army advanced very slowly. Because many people could not see clearly in the dazzling white snow. This was snow blindness, but the Qin people didn't know it.

Wei Huo knew that this was caused by the light. In order to protect his eyes, the cavalry of Daqin pulled off their clothes and made a simple eye mask. Some guys even made a black veil from somewhere and covered their eyes, so that they could not only see the outside situation clearly, but also prevent snow blindness.

The army headed north in the midst of hardships. They dared not eat too much food and water. Once they were half eaten, they had to go back. Otherwise, even if they were not destroyed by the Huns, they would starve to death on this prairie. When they thought about the scene of ten thousand people starving to death, Wei Huo felt cold.

After so many years, the reason why the Qin Dynasty failed to destroy the Huns was because they hid in the grassland and relied entirely on the mobile and flexible cavalry to fight. Once the Qin army and horses used the same method to deal with it, they would fall into a situation of untimely supply. This is also the reason why previous dynasties could not completely resolve the threat of the Hu people.

In front of the army, a knight in white robe ran over to the Qin army.

Wei Huo recognized at a glance that this person was a Daqin siege. He waved his hand and the entire gang stopped. When the siege approached, before Wei Huo asked, the man clasped his fists and said, "General, our team found a temporary settlement of Hu people in front of him. There were hundreds of horses, cattle and sheep, eighty-seven young men, all with scimitars, one hundred and three women, twenty-five old men and children. The captain had already set up a checkpoint around him, and they could not get out of one. Should they raid a surprise attack?"

"Are there any movements of the Huns' army around?" Wei Huo immediately unfolded a map made of sheepskin. Since he left the border of Daqin, he has walked while drawing the path he took on the sheepskin roll and confirmed it one by one with the map.

"No large Hun troops were found within a hundred miles." The prosecutor said simply.

Wei Huo put the sheepskin roll in his arms, took off his spear from the victory hook of the war horse, and ordered: "Lead ahead and surround him first, and you cannot let a Hu man go."

The large group of people followed the squad and rushed towards the north.

Wei Huo was murderous. This was his first time entering the prairie and meeting the distribution center of the Huns. A few days ago, the figures of the Great Qin women who were plundered by the Huns and died in front of Wang Li’s army appeared in Wei Huo’s mind in a series of figures.

"Those who violate my power in China will be punished even if they are far away. Those who capture my people of the Qin Dynasty will be slaves." Wei Huo repeated this sentence several times in his heart before speaking, saying, "If you send the order, after a while, you can't let anyone go, and you will kill them all. The first tribe of the Huns did not allow surrenders or take slaves. They will pay the price for slaughtering my Qin Dynasty."

Lin Xin accurately and quickly conveyed Wei Huo's meaning to the entire army.

The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty became excited, and at this moment it seemed that there was no trouble with Snow Blindness.

Soon, under the leadership of the sentry detective, Wei Huo's army discovered dozens of tents in front of them. The Hu people chose to build tents at a very good location. There was a small river that had not frozen to death on the side. The water flowed not too much, but they were jumping tenaciously in the winter.

"Lin Xin, lead a team of people, we will surround these people, remember, run out and see me with your head." Wei Huo said, and without waiting for Lin Xin to answer, he took half of his men and women to detour.

Lin Xin waved the long sword in his hand and took another man to detour from the other side.

In just one stick of incense, Wei Huo and Lin Xin arrived at the designated location. The knights of the Qin Dynasty roared and suddenly appeared from all directions. The Qin Dynasty stylists hiding around saw their army coming, quietly retreated from the army and continued to inquire on the road ahead. The fate of the characters here is almost destined, and the merits of these stylists will inevitably be recorded by the secretary in exchange for military merit in the future.

A small village or tribe with hundreds of people is a common one on the grassland. They have lived on the grassland for generations, grazing for a living, fighting against the world in a difficult environment, and have long developed a strong folk custom.

When they saw the strange army suddenly appearing around, the Huns in the village were not afraid or panic. Although they didn't know why the Qin army appeared on the grassland full of snow without knowing it, the young and middle-aged man among them picked up the scimitar and raised the bow and arrow at the first time.

The women quickly surrounded the ox, horse and carriage, forming a circle, protecting their tribe members in the middle.

A man who thought he was the most brave in the clan rushed out of the village, holding a wooden shield in his left hand and a scimitar in his right hand, showing off his might to the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, and it was a mess, as if he was demonstrating.

Wei Huo looked like a strong alien man, with no turbulence. The Qin knights around him had already bent their bows and arrows. As the bow strings trembled, many bows and arrows shot towards the man rushing out.
