Chapter 1219
Otherwise, he really could not help but kill that fellow under the wall.
The tone of this Xiongnu man was truly arrogant.
He had never once thought about reconciling.
It was not just him who did not want to; the entire Great Qin would not think of reconciling.
Great Qin lacked warhorses, but they did not need the Xiongnu to send them.
They could fight; once they won, that would be enough.
By then, the Xiongnu's horses would all belong to Great Qin.
If that were the case, was there any need to reconcile with the Xiongnu and release people to trade for horses?
This was simply looking down on Great Qin.
Besides, where would the Xiongnu get a million-strong army?
It was just something said deliberately to scare people.
The translator soldier shouted toward the Xiongnu soldiers below.
As they spoke, they actually started chatting.
Meng Tian watched with some impatience.
"Did you say it?"
"Why hasn't he gotten lost yet?"
The translator soldier gave a bitter smile: "General, that fellow is a chatterbox!"
"I told him to get lost, and he actually said we could sit down and have a good talk."
"He said their Chanyu Touman does not wish to start a war and is willing to sit down and talk peace."
Sit down and talk peace?
Are the Xiongnu worthy?
Meng Tian reached out and took a super divine crossbow from a soldier's hand nearby.
"There is nothing to talk about."
"The hatred between the two sides is irreconcilable."
"Since he won't leave, then stay forever!"
Meng Tian aimed at the bottom and fired an arrow.
Clang—!
A sharp arrow pierced the Xiongnu cavalryman's skull.
The Xiongnu cavalryman fell to the sound.
The startled horse immediately began to gallop wildly.
The Xiongnu cavalry in the distance saw that the two sides were chatting well.
Originally, they thought there was a chance, but who knew their own man would be shot dead by the Qin people in an instant.
This wave of operations left them stunned for quite a while before they reacted.
Immediately after, some Xiongnu began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
But they discovered that their arrows could not reach the Great Wall before falling powerlessly.
This angered them, and they directly spurred their horses to approach.
They wanted to get closer; at least they had to kill some Qin people to vent their anger.
But before they could run a few steps, arrows from the Great Wall shot over.
Their arrows could not reach the Qin people.
But the Qin people's arrows could reach them!
This discovery made the Xiongnu's spines turn cold.
Terrified, they could only turn their horses' heads and flee toward the back.
As for approaching to shoot arrows, they did not dare to think about it at all.
If they rushed up like this, they would likely be wiped out before they could even get close.
In the process of fleeing, arrows whistled past them continuously.
Occasionally, a companion would fall down beside them.
The Xiongnu cavalry even slapped their horses' rumps until they were swollen, wishing their horses had eight legs to run faster.
Screams and wails kept coming from around them.
There were also many sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground.
It was very clear that someone had been hit by an arrow and fallen to the ground.
They ran even more desperately.
Who knew if they would be the next one hit by an arrow?
After running for a moment.
Gradually, the arrows around them became fewer, and when there were no more arrows,
the Xiongnu cavalry finally stopped.
At this time, their distance from the Great Wall was even further.
It was about a distance of two li.
The Xiongnu cavalry commander was sweating profusely.
He secretly rejoiced that he had not been hit by an arrow, otherwise he would have had to stay behind.
Only then did he discover something was wrong.
Only then did he discover that the people around him were much fewer.
Just now, they were nervous and fleeing for their lives, so he had not paid attention to the people around him.
Now that they had stopped, he realized things were bad.
The number of people who could still sit on horseback around him was very few.
They had all been shot dead!
Some horses were lucky and had not been shot dead, but had run far away in a panic.
But the road was full of cavalry corpses; there were not many horse corpses.
Some were dead, and some were still struggling on the ground.
Originally a cavalry of several thousand,
only a few hundred cavalry remained.
This discovery made the Xiongnu commander hate to the point of madness.
In this short time, they had lost several thousand cavalry.
This loss could not be described as anything but huge.
They had almost been completely wiped out.
The commander's face looked very bad.
He did not expect that they would lose so many people before even engaging in battle.
How could he explain this to the Chanyu when he returned?
He remembered that Prince Modu had vaguely mentioned that Great Qin had long-range crossbows.
He had told him to be extremely careful and not to get too close.
That was why he had stopped two hundred meters away; this range was already far enough.
But who knew that the Qin people's arrows could still reach them.
Now they had almost run two li away.
Those arrows were not far from them,
and visually, the Qin people's arrows had reached at least eight hundred meters!
What kind of concept was this?
It was truly too terrifying!
What kind of long-range crossbow was this?
This was simply a super long-range crossbow, okay?
Chanyu Prince Modu did not explain it clearly either.
It caused them to be almost completely wiped out now.
