Chapter 424: Xiongnu movements, inescapable net

"Luo Huan, good kid, we think alike."

"This Prince thinks the same."

Maoshi laughed boisterously with joy.

"Since there is no one at the Great Wall,"

"we won't hunt on the grassland; let's enter Great Qin to hunt!"

"There aren't many slaves at home, it's rare to come out once."

"Plundering some Great Qin people back, Father will definitely be happy."

Maoshi became excited at the thought of Great Qin slaves.

For Great Qin captives, they would definitely not live for a day in his hands.

Because he had near-perverted means of torturing people.

And these means were becoming increasingly severe.

Only torturing Great Qin slaves could satisfy his perverted heart.

Luo Huan laughed and clapped his hands in approval.

"Prince, if we can return fully loaded this time,"

"Touman Chanyu will definitely value you even more."

"By that time, hehehe, Modu will definitely be completely squeezed out by you."

Maoshi couldn't help but laugh at the thought of being able to completely squeeze out his elder brother.

"Set off! The perfect opportunity to plunder Great Qin slaves has arrived!"

"It's still too far from the Great Wall here, let's walk closer and observe."

"If there is really no one guarding, then drive straight in!"

Maoshi commanded the cavalry to head toward the Great Wall.

On the Great Wall.

Xiao He had been monitoring the movements of the small mound.

The next moment,

Xiao He became excited.

"They moved, they moved!"

"There are quite a few people!"

Seeing the Xiongnu take action, Xiao He trembled all over.

Hearing this, Han Xin and the others also picked up their telescopes and looked over.

The horse that looked like a stone just now moved.

Then it ran toward the Great Wall.

Countless cavalrymen also ran out one after another from behind the small mound.

After looking for a while,

they reached a conclusion.

Visually, there were at least thirty thousand cavalry!

If they hadn't discovered it in advance, and these thirty thousand cavalry had sneaked into Great Qin,

those commoners would have suffered.

And the border defense army wouldn't be able to surround and intercept them.

After all, infantry couldn't outrun cavalry.

Now seeing the Xiongnu cavalry heading toward a gap in the Great Wall in a mighty force,

one could imagine what they wanted to do.

Plunder!

These Xiongnu had come to plunder again!

General Meng Tian Tian frowned.

"Your Highness, these are all cavalry; the status of the people coming might not be ordinary."

"The Xiongnu who came to plunder or harass before were all a few hundred or a few thousand cavalry from small tribes."

"The most they ever had was multiple small tribes united together, about ten thousand people."

"This time can be said to be the most people who have ever come; there are actually over thirty thousand."

General Meng Tian Tian didn't quite understand.

The Xiongnu came to the Great Wall mainly for plundering and harassment.

They didn't fight head-on, so they wouldn't bring too many people each time.

Few people meant high mobility; if discovered, they could escape quickly.

By the time the Great Qin Ruishi dispatched cavalry, the Xiongnu would have long disappeared.

This time it was excessive; thirty thousand cavalry actually came.

This forced General Meng Tian Tian to suspect the status of the people coming.

There were only two reasons for so many Xiongnu cavalry to come.

Either multiple small tribes united together.

Or the people coming were big figures with noble status.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for over thirty thousand cavalry to come together.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the direction the Xiongnu were going.

And asked General Meng Tian Tian: "How many cavalry does the border defense army have?"

General Meng Tian Tian smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the border defense army is mainly infantry."

"Although we can occasionally capture Xiongnu warhorses, there are still too few."

"Currently, there are only over ten thousand warhorses in the border defense camp."

"And we have to exclude some lame, aging, and newborn horses."

"Adding the warhorses Your Highness rode from Xianyang, there should be about twenty thousand warhorses that can go to the battlefield."

General Meng Tian Tian was also helpless; Great Qin still had too few warhorses.

Otherwise, wouldn't trampling the Xiongnu be easy?

"Only about twenty thousand warhorses that can be used?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye frowned.

Horses were indeed Great Qin's weakness.

No wonder there was no better way to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry's repeated invasions.

If they could capture all the Xiongnu's horses, Great Qin would be even more powerful.

And the vast grassland was very suitable for raising cattle, sheep, and horses.

As long as they could take down the Xiongnu, the vast grassland would be Great Qin's horse farm in the future!

Most of Great Qin was infantry, mainly infantry.

Whether it was mobility or combat, it was not perfect enough.
