Chapter 1222

Prince Modu put his sword back into its scabbard.

Angry, he grabbed the leather whip and started hitting him again.

Since he was not going to kill him, hitting him to vent his anger was also fine.

It was not until Prince Modu was tired of hitting that he stopped.

Seeing that Prince Modu had stopped hitting, the commander finally let out a sigh of relief.

Although he was covered in bruises, fortunately, his life was still there.

Prince Modu panted heavily; he was furious.

Originally, he had thought of sending people to disturb the Qin people's line of sight.

At least attack with the main army when talking peace.

But now, let alone talking peace, they could not even get into the Great Wall.

It did not create an opportunity for him, and he even lost several thousand cavalry.

How could this not make him angry?

He had spent half a year integrating the Donghu and the Dayuezhi.

Of course, he had also used some unsavory methods.

Finally, he had subdued both the Donghu and the Dayuezhi.

To be precise, he had beaten the Donghu and the Dayuezhi into submission.

He had directly fought until the King of Donghu and the King of Dayuezhi surrendered.

Both kings were also controlled by Prince Modu.

The new kings were all puppets supported by Prince Modu.

And now, he had assembled a force of nearly a million, half of which were Donghu and Dayuezhi people.

Originally, he had wanted to deal a painful blow to Great Qin.

Unfortunately, Great Qin's Great Wall had already been completed.

They could not get in even if they wanted to.

That was why he had sent people to pretend to talk peace.

He wanted to see if there was a chance to get in.

If they could use some small tricks to get in, it would certainly be better than a strong attack.

Who knew that before the peace talks had even begun, they had instead been killed by the Qin people in such large numbers.

However, fortunately, they also knew that there were gates on the Great Wall, so they could break through and rush in.

This was also the reason why he had not killed that commander.

Otherwise, he would certainly have hacked him with a sword.

"Touman Chanyu, anger hurts the body; you should relax a bit."

"What should we do now?"

The crazy general walked up.

"How about we just kill our way over?"

"If I saw correctly, there should only be three hundred thousand Great Qin soldiers inside the Great Wall."

"We have so many people here; we will certainly be able to eliminate them all."

Prince Modu glanced at the crazy man speechlessly.

He also wanted to kill his way into the Great Wall directly.

But this matter was not something that could be done just by saying so.

"The people below cannot handle this matter well; we can only do it ourselves."

"Then how do you think we should kill them?"

It was not that Prince Modu had not thought about killing his way over directly,

but with the Great Wall blocking them, they could not cross over.

This was a problem that could not be ignored.

"Isn't this simple?"

"Use siege engines and catapults!"

"Didn't we bring them behind us?"

The crazy man looked at Prince Modu in surprise.

Using these to attack would certainly be able to take the Great Wall.

What was there to think about?

Prince Modu looked at the crazy man as if he were looking at an idiot.

He really wanted to pounce on him and slap his big mouth.

This joke had gone too far.

Use siege engines?

Use catapults?

What kind of brain was this?

How could he come up with such an odd method?

It was true that they had brought siege engines and catapults.

But...

But there were only five siege engines.

There were only ten catapults.

These were all plundered back when they had raided Great Qin before.

They did not know how long it had been since they were used, and they did not know if they could still be used.

The reason they brought them this time was just thinking they might be useful.

They would not necessarily use them; after all, the quantity was so small, what use could they have?

Seeing that Prince Modu did not speak, the crazy man could not help but ask: "Touman Chanyu, is it not possible?"

Only then did Prince Modu speak.

"Are you joking with me?"

"We are going to the Great Wall; that city wall is three zhang high, and the thickness is even more exaggerated."

"These siege engines and catapults add up to only fifteen; are they useful?"

"With such a small quantity, can we take the Great Wall?"

The other commanders also looked at the crazy man with disgust.

It was just like looking at an idiot.

"Hey hey hey, don't look at me like that!"

"The way you look makes me feel uncomfortable all over."

"If you have the ability, you think of a way!"

"Now, besides using catapults and siege engines, are there any other methods?"

"Having them is better than not having them; maybe they will be useful?"

The crazy man actually wanted to use other methods.

But what methods were there?

They did not know how to manufacture these engines.

Otherwise, if they could manufacture more siege engines and catapults,

would breaking into the Great Wall not be a matter of minutes?

The other commanders did not speak upon hearing this.

Because they also had no methods at all.

This time, it was Prince Modu's turn to be conflicted.

It seemed he could only use those catapults to attack.

He did not know who had plundered these things back.

But when they plundered them back, why did they not plunder more?

Plundering so few back, what use were they?
