Chapter 1254: Striking out to engage in battle, a grand momentum

Commandant Zhao and the others finally understood the purpose of the Xiongnu Touman Chanyu sending an envoy here.

So he was thinking about those hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu prisoners.

But asking them to release the people, wasn't that a pipe dream?

Was that possible?

Was that realistic?

The Xiongnu prisoners had all been transported away for infrastructure construction.

How could they possibly be handed back to the Xiongnu?

Even if they didn't engage in battle, the Xiongnu couldn't break through the Great Wall.

So how could they possibly hand over those prisoners?

Unless... the Xiongnu could exchange horses for the prisoners.

Otherwise, it was simply impossible for those prisoners to return to Xiongnu territory.

The Xiongnu were not yet strong enough to make Great Qin release people unconditionally.

The Xiongnu didn't know that Great Qin reinforcements had arrived.

Even though the new recruits made up the vast majority, they had been trained for so long.

They were enough to be put to use; as long as the tactics were used well,

beating the Xiongnu wouldn't be a big problem.

"Grand General, the Xiongnu are truly arrogant!"

"It makes me want to strike out immediately."

"It's really too bullying; they don't bring anything to exchange for people, yet they demand we release them unconditionally."

"These Xiongnu have really become puffed up."

"Isn't it just that they have more soldiers?"

"They act as if we have very few people."

The generals were disdainful and didn't even look at the Xiongnu envoy properly.

"Go back and tell your Touman Chanyu, releasing the people is impossible."

"If you have the ability, break through the Great Wall and come take them."

"Otherwise, retreat five miles; tomorrow, our Great Qin army will strike out of the city to fight you all!"

General Meng Tian's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful.

The soldiers on the Great Wall heard these words from Grand General Meng Tian.

They were all so excited that they shouted.

"Wind!"

"Wind!"

"Wind!"

Was the war finally about to begin?

They had been looking forward to it for a long time.

And the Xiongnu cavalryman beneath the Great Wall was intimidated by the momentum of the Great Qin soldiers.

He was so scared he almost fell off his horse.

In the current situation, he didn't dare to say anything more.

He hurriedly turned his horse around and left.

Not dying was the best outcome.

As long as he delivered the message back, he would have completed his mission.

And the soldiers didn't shoot this Xiongnu cavalryman, letting him leave.

After all, someone still needed to deliver the message.
