Chapter 682

The camp suddenly became bustling with activity.

The soldiers' somewhat unhappy mood also dissipated.

Thinking about it, it was a big harvest.

Although some weapons were distributed to the Commandant's Army,

they could also equip two thousand cavalrymen.

Thinking about it, it was also worth being happy about.

Equipping two thousand cavalrymen, and there were still thirty thousand three-piece sets for warhorses left over.

This harvest was rich.

It was estimated that the weapons transported next time would be more than this time.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

On the third day,

the border defense camp caused a sensation due to the appearance of a scout.

At noon.

A scout rode his horse into the border defense camp.

"Report~~!"

"Deputy General Han Xin and Deputy General Sun and others have returned."

"They are about ten li away from the Great Wall."

"It seems that quite a few captives have been brought back; should we send troops to welcome them?"

"Please give instructions, General!"

The scout came to the training ground and reported to General Meng Tian after seeing him.

"Oh? They have finally returned?"

Meng Tian wiped the horse-chopping saber in his hand.

He saw dozens of tree stumps of various sizes fallen in front of him.

They were all being cut down by the horse-chopping saber in his hand.

He was sighing at the toughness and sharpness of this horse-chopping saber.

Then the scout reported that they had returned.

Han Xin and his two thousand cavalrymen had been out for five days.

Now they had finally returned.

"Send people to welcome them."

"Strictly guard against sneak attacks by the Xiongnu."

"Understood!"

The scout stepped back a few steps and found a more open position.

Holding a black flag in his hand, he waved it towards the direction of the Great Wall.

After seeing this scene through the telescope in the direction of the Great Wall, they would quickly send troops to meet them.

This was the northern border today; these telescopes were all being utilized.

But they could only express some simple meanings.

Otherwise, there would be no need for people to run back to report; they could communicate directly by waving flags on both sides.

Soon, news came from the watchtower that the soldiers in the direction of the Great Wall had received the instructions and had already begun to leave the city.

Meng Tian laughed heartily: "Prepare to welcome their return."

Saying this, he left the place with his saber.

Behind him followed a group of generals.

They were already accustomed to this matter.

There were five telescopes on the northern border today.

Han Xin and the others went to the vast grasslands and took away three.

The remaining two were also utilized by them.

One telescope was on the Great Wall, paying attention to the situation outside at any time.

If there was a situation, it could be reported to the camp in time.

One telescope was on the watchtower of the camp, paying attention to the situation on the Great Wall side at all times.

Combined, it was truly wonderful.

One hour later.

Two thousand cavalrymen returned to the camp in a mighty force.

The leader was Han Xin and Deputy General Sun and others.

Following behind them were the three thousand cavalrymen who had gone to welcome them just now.

In front of them were several thousand Xiongnu captives and some warhorses.

Looking closely, there were about eight or nine thousand people.

These people were either injured or disabled.

It looked like they had all been defeated before being captured.

Deputy General Sun dismounted and came to Meng Tian.

"General, we have returned."

"We did not fail our mission; this time we went to the vast grasslands and eliminated and captured more than five Xiongnu tribes."

"We captured more than nine thousand people, all of whom were vicious and evil people."

"After questioning, these people had more or less plundered the Great Qin populace before."

"In their tribes, many human bones were found."

Deputy General Sun truthfully reported the battle situation of these few days.

"Not bad, to be able to capture some Xiongnu people and horses after going out once."

"If you go a few more times, you will soon be able to sweep away the Xiongnu people in the surrounding area."

Meng Tian nodded with a smile on his face.

It was not easy to have such a harvest after going out this time.

After all, the vast grasslands were boundless, and whether one could discover Xiongnu people depended on luck.

It was not to say that one would definitely be able to capture people every time one went out.

It wasn't that they hadn't gone out before.

But sometimes they still returned empty-handed.

They couldn't find the small tribes of the Xiongnu every time.

If the Xiongnu people were concentrated together, it would be easy.

Just send troops over to wipe them out in one go.

But the Xiongnu were nomadic tribes, all living scattered.

Tribe after tribe, some were far apart, and they couldn't be found even if they wanted to.

The Xiongnu alliance tribes were in the depths of the vast grasslands.

Only after the food and grass were sufficient,

could the large army advance into the depths of the vast grasslands.

Apart from this, there was no other way.

Han Xin also walked over at this time.

"General, in addition to the previous captives, should they be sent back?"

"It is not a solution to keep them here to raise them."

"The last general is afraid that I won't be able to help but kill them all."

"I only knew that these people are really not worthy of being human after going to the Xiongnu tribes."

"Not to mention that the things they did had no bottom line, many things were not like what a person could do."

Han Xin's expression became somewhat ugly.

These days of fighting in the vast grasslands had shown him too much darkness. ===== CHAPTER 684 =====
