Chapter 1226

Even with more Xiongnu armies, in his eyes, they were just floating clouds.

As long as the Xiongnu people could not get in, they could do nothing to them at all.

And when the supporting new recruits arrived, that would be the moment for the Qin army to counterattack.

Soon—

The Xiongnu army cleared a path.

From behind, they pushed out more than a dozen wooden carts.

Pushed by dozens of people, they walked out of the crowd.

The soldiers on the Great Wall saw this thing appear, and their mouths were slightly open in surprise.

Deputy General Zhao and the others saw this scene.

Their jaws were almost dropping in shock.

"Damn it!"

"Aren't these our siege engines and catapults?"

"Why are they also in the hands of the Xiongnu people?"

"What is this situation? How could they have this thing?"

The soldiers saw the catapults and siege engines, and they were completely unsettled.

These were their things; they knew the power of these things too well.

These were their Great Qin's siege weapons.

Every time they besieged a city, they could be invincible.

But now they appeared in the hands of the Xiongnu people.

Originally, they thought that more carts would be pushed out from behind the Xiongnu army.

But after a while, no more siege engines and catapults appeared.

Seeing clearly that there were only fifteen war carts, they were somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, the quantity was not large.

Otherwise, the trouble would be big.

After observing, they found that there were only five siege engines.

There were only ten catapults.

With only this quantity, on this large battlefield, the effect was negligible.

"General, why do these siege engines and catapults look so much like our Great Qin's!?"

"Why would they appear in the hands of the Xiongnu people?"

"Your subordinate remembers that they don't know how to manufacture these things!"

Deputy General Zhao walked up, looking at Meng Tian in confusion.

The carts in the hands of the Xiongnu people were too familiar.

It felt like they were their Great Qin's.

It was just that he did not know why they had ended up in the hands of the Xiongnu people.

Could it be that there was a traitor?

That was also not very likely!

After all, these were Great Qin's sharp weapons, and their custody was very strict.

Ordinary people really could not get them.

Let alone getting them out to the Xiongnu people.

He had stayed at the northern border for a long time and knew the Xiongnu people quite well.

This nomadic nation of theirs would not manufacture these things.

"It's not that they look like them; these are originally our Great Qin's things!"

As soon as Meng Tian said this, the surrounding generals widened their eyes.

What was this situation?

Everyone at this moment looked at Meng Tian.

Meng Tian frowned slightly and looked at the crowd.

"You have forgotten a matter from two years ago, haven't you?"

Meng Tian's thoughts fell into contemplation.

About two years ago, when the Xiongnu cavalry raided the Great Qin people,

they took away a batch of sharp weapons while they were at it; the quantity was fifteen.

These major events were all recorded, but they were plundered away and could not be recovered.

In the end, this matter was also left unsettled and was suppressed.

Not many people knew about this matter.

They only knew that the Xiongnu people had snatched away some things.

But many people did not know what things they were.

When Meng Tian saw those fifteen siege carts and catapults, the sealed memories in his mind also instantly remembered.

These war carts plundered by the Xiongnu people, he did not expect that after so long, they would still appear on the battlefield.

It could be seen that when the Xiongnu people plundered these things back, they also kept them and had not used them.

Otherwise, after so long, they would likely have been broken long ago.

But thinking about it, it was also correct; there were no city walls on the great grassland, so these war carts were useless.

He did not expect that now the Xiongnu people were using these to deal with Great Qin.

The generals heard Meng Tian's narration, and only then did they remember this matter.

Many of them knew about that matter.

But many did not know that these were the stolen siege engines and catapults.

Because this matter was suppressed at the time.

Many people had a deep memory of this matter.

Now this unsolved case had finally surfaced.

"So it turns out that what was stolen back then were siege engines and catapults."

"Truly did not expect it!"

"When the Xiongnu people plundered the war carts back then, could it be that they thought of sieging the city today?"

"Separated by so long, how is this possible? The Chanyu back then was Touman."

"Now the Xiongnu are under Modu's control; who would have thought of things two years later."

"Two years, can these war carts still be used?"

"If they haven't used them, they should still be usable."

"Our Great Qin's war carts have already been updated; these war carts of theirs are already outdated."

"Even if they are outdated, the power is still there; fortunately, the quantity is small, so they won't have any effect."

"Seeing our Great Qin's war carts in the hands of the Xiongnu people, it is truly an unexpected item!"

The generals discussed among themselves; many of them knew what had happened back then.

Now it could be considered that the truth had come to light.

He did not expect that the war carts lost two years ago could be seen again today.
