Chapter 206 Attacking the Xiongnu
Seeing his older brother pulling him along suspiciously, Meng Yi couldn't help but feel a black line appear on his forehead.
This was the first time he had ever realized that his older brother was so curious. But despite his teasing, he still honestly explained it to him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to beat his own brother. If he wasn't introduced to someone now, he would definitely get a beating later.
"Those are the ones. The one in the blue tracksuit is Grand Preceptor Gu. The one on the left is Grand Preceptor Yan, and the one on the right..."
Those wrapped in animal skins are orcs from the continent of Loka. I told you in the letter that they can transform into beast forms.
And those next to them are from the Tang Dynasty, which was a dynasty that lasted for several hundred years. And...
While quietly introducing the people to his older brother, Meng Yi subtly pointed out who they were.
After introducing everyone, he remembered Xu Fu and his entourage, whom he had just brought along, and then whispered, "..."
"By the way, brother, you should assign the hardest and most tiring jobs to the group of people we just brought over. Those people are no good. Do you remember the letter I wrote to you last time?"
Those people were the ones Xu Fu led out to sea. We made a special trip to the island today to capture them and bring them back. You wouldn't believe it, when we went there, Xu Fu was having these people build him a palace. They're incredibly audacious!
So we absolutely can't let them off easily. We need to give them a proper 'welcome,' and those who speak like birdsong, you should also handle them accordingly. They're all natives of that island..."
"Alright! I understand! By the way, you said last time His Majesty gave you a Marrow Cleansing Pill, how is it? Have you taken it?"
Meng Tian nodded in agreement, then became curious again. Although he knew he also had a Marrow Cleansing Pill, he was far away in Shangjun and hadn't received it yet. He wanted to know if his younger brother had taken it!
Looking at his gossipy older brother, Meng Yi was speechless once again. How could he possibly have kept something so precious until now?
He used it that very night His Majesty bestowed it upon him, and nodded in approval.
Seeing his younger brother nod, Meng Tian couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. He wondered when he would be able to undergo the same marrow cleansing and tendon-strengthening process.
"Don't worry, His Majesty remembers. We'll probably give it to you when we leave after we defeat the Xiongnu! Then you'll be able to cultivate too."
Meng Yi looked at his older brother, who was filled with envy, and found it amusing, while offering words of comfort.
"Uh-huh!"
As they spoke, the flying boat had already arrived at the Xiongnu's main camp. It was already late at night, and apart from a few guards on duty, everyone in the Xiongnu's main camp was fast asleep.
Large and small tents were set up on the plain, and behind the tents were warhorses that all looked very strong.
These are far superior to the warhorses of their Great Qin Dynasty; even Meng Tian was somewhat envious.
And this really was a Xiongnu camp, located on the outskirts, making it easy to sweep through and leave no one behind.
"Attack! Seize all the people and everything in the camp! Those who resist severely, eliminate them on the spot!"
Looking down at the Xiongnu camp, Ying Zheng's eyes blazed with fury, and his blood boiled with rage. He had long disliked the Xiongnu.
However, the grasslands were vast, and these Huns, who fought on horseback, were all very strong, so it was not possible to defeat them in a short time.
Now that he had this opportunity, it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited. Compared to sitting in Xianyang City, he definitely preferred fighting on the battlefield! This kind of crushing sweep was incredibly satisfying!
As Ying Zheng finished speaking, the flying boat landed on the grassland. Everyone shouted and rushed onto the flying boat, charging towards the Xiongnu people not far away.
The Huns, who were initially confused and thought they were hallucinating, widened their eyes when they saw the people rushing towards them in the darkness and hurriedly beat the war drums in their camp.
Unfortunately, they were too late, as the Qin soldiers had already attacked, plunging the entire Xiongnu camp into chaos.
Yuan Mingzi and the others did not take action, but instead kept watch from the sidelines. If any of the Qin warriors encountered danger, they would teleport over to rescue them.
This fighting style, where there was no risk to their lives, greatly excited Meng Tian and his soldiers, making their charges even more ferocious.
The battle was incredibly fierce, and with their protection, the Xiongnu were quickly defeated.
The battle began quickly and ended just as quickly. After capturing and imprisoning the remaining Xiongnu, they boarded a flying boat and headed to the next camp.
Of course, the spoils of war were not forgotten either; Gu Xinyan temporarily put them into her backpack and would take them out when she got back.
There were just too many things, and even if the flying boat could fit them all, it wouldn't be worth the time to carry them up. So, they simply packed them all up, which would save some time.
And so, under the cover of night, the group swept through the area. Although the soldiers who had come with them were exhausted, they were all exceptionally excited.
As for the Xiongnu, the Qin army's sudden and unpredictable arrival caught them completely off guard.
So when the Qin army appeared in their camp, they didn't even have time to react and were caught off guard by the Qin army.
The night-long raid only ended after they had utterly destroyed the entire Xiongnu territory and captured their leader, Touman Chanyu.
After the battle, the Xiongnu suffered heavy losses and were practically wiped out.
The entire airship was already packed with people; the holding cells were overflowing, so they were all being held in various large halls.
On the Qin side, there were zero casualties. Apart from the fatigue brought on by the excitement, there were no losses. The group came happily and returned happily.
Aside from the pale-faced Huns, the flying boat was filled with excited Qin soldiers. This battle was unlike any other; they had truly had a blast tonight.
Now that we've dealt with these Xiongnu, we won't have to worry about them harassing us from time to time anymore.
Ying Zheng thought the same way, because leaving these Xiongnu people unattended would always be a hidden danger for the Qin Dynasty.
Since he had promised the imperial advisors that he would unify the world, he naturally had to start by attacking the Xiongnu.
After all, compared to other countries and the Xiongnu, we were still quite far away, so we dealt with the Xiongnu first.
The next step is to proceed gradually, while he also looks forward to the moment when he will unify the world!
