Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Chapter 387 The Cement Great Wall

At this time, the Xiongnu were unaware that they had been targeted by Tang Yu, the most ruthless man in the Qin Dynasty.

They were still gritting their teeth as they spoke.

"Damn it, that kid managed to get away."

"He dodged so many attacks; he truly deserves to be the emperor's son."

"But it's alright, he got lucky this time, what about next time?"

"Since we were able to ambush them the first time, we can ambush them a second time."

On the grassland, several Xiongnu leaders dressed in fur and holding bows and arrows were whispering among themselves.

One of the names became legendary in history even thousands of years later.

Modu was the most powerful Xiongnu Chanyu in history.

This guy is a real talent!

He was average at fighting, but his vision and strategy were extraordinary.

When this young man saw that Ying Zheng had completely unified the entire Qin state, he panicked.

An idea naturally arose in his mind.

That is, he also wants unification!

Because after Qin Shi Huang unified the country.

Once war breaks out, their small Xiongnu tribe, a single tribe, will be able to fight against the entire Warring States period.

They were even completely unable to resist the Seven Warring States.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been chased all over the place by Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin and others so many times.

Even Li Mu of Zhao managed to subjugate a large portion of the Xiongnu people, integrating them into the Hu-style cavalry and archery tradition.

From this, we can infer that the strength of this small Xiongnu tribe was rather insignificant.

But now that the whole country is unified, if they were to split up again, it would undoubtedly be a dead end.

Thus, the young Maodun made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.

He decided: Since we can't beat each other in a one-on-one fight, I'll just have to gang up on them.

So, like Qin Shi Huang, he embarked on a journey to rule the grasslands on his own.

And so, after years of hard work, he completed his rule over the grasslands.

He also became the Chanyu of the entire Xiongnu tribe.

Later, during the period of internal strife in Qin, he again used his status to cause considerable harassment and harm to the Qin state.

They can be described as my enemy and his hero.

Maodun also enjoyed a very high reputation among the Xiongnu.

Even among the Xiongnu, they were vaguely comparable to gods.

At this time, Modu was originally full of ambition.

Hearing that Qin Shi Huang's son had come to this frontier, he, who had always regarded Qin Shi Huang as a great enemy, wanted to try to kill Qin Shi Huang's son.

If we could kill him, that would be even better.

Let's see how Qin Shi Huang will react.

To his surprise, when he led his elite troops in pursuit, not only did the enemy escape, but he also ended up killing so many of his men.

But now that he has successfully crossed those low city walls and entered the Qin state several times, he is even more confident.

This is the second issue that Tang Yu and Ying Zheng want to discuss.

That was the construction of the city wall.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be sufficient to build the city wall only about two meters high."

Ying Zheng had just been fantasizing about the magnificent city, tens of meters high, and the impregnable city walls that Tang Yu had described to him.

Then Tang Yu said "two meters high," which shattered Ying Zheng's fantasy.

"Mr. Tang, why is that?"

"That Xiongnu man was exceptionally brutal, and he was also extremely skilled at horsemanship..."

Before Ying Zheng could finish speaking, Tang Yu was stunned.

Tang Yu couldn't help but shift his gaze to Ying Zheng's face.

Tang Yu's lips twitched as he watched Ying Zheng, who was pretending to be ignorant and trying to fool him.

He had truly realized that his emperor was indeed like a child.

He may seem like a great emperor of all time, but in reality, he was a man who remained a boy until death.

Even if he were the emperor of the entire Qin state, he couldn't escape such petty thoughts.

The reason why the Qin state built city walls was not at all to prevent the Xiongnu soldiers.

And to prevent the Xiongnu's horses.

Their strength lies in their mobility; they can grab what they want and leave immediately.

So the purpose of the city wall was to prevent his horses from getting through.

In this way, the Xiongnu would lose their greatest advantage, and the situation on the battlefield could be completely reversed.

As for why Ying Zheng was regarded as a major enemy by the Xiongnu as soon as he ascended the throne and ruled the six states.

That's because Qin Shi Huang truly made a momentous decision that spanned centuries.

In addition to standardizing writing and cart axles, he also directly created the Qin Straight Road.

The Qin Straight Road was a low-budget version of a modern road, and it was also a well-connected thoroughfare.

The roads leading from Xianyang City to the border areas such as Shangjun were extensive and interconnected.

Furthermore, commuting between different regions is very fast.

He said that if something happened here, resources could be obtained in an instant.

With the Qin Straight Road, coupled with beacon fires and messengers, it was extremely difficult for the Xiongnu and others to invade Qin.

These people wanted to invade the Qin Dynasty, but with the Great Wall protecting them, they had no choice but to leave their horses outside the Great Wall.

However, they are completely unable to give up their advantageous combat position.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to withstand ordinary Qin soldiers.

Therefore, they had no choice but to destroy the city wall that had been built.

After destroying the city wall, enter through the gaps in it.

However, at this time, the soldiers patrolling the Great Wall would immediately sound the alarm upon seeing this gap.

The beacon fires were lit, and signals were transmitted one after another.

Then reinforcements will arrive and trap them at this gap.

This is why the Xiongnu suffered such heavy losses before.

This is also why Modu insisted on continuing to rule the entire grassland.

Now Maodun has found a way to quickly destroy city walls made of mud, bamboo, vines, and other materials.

But Tang Yu simply put a cement wall on him.

This is a direct leap across hundreds of versions, which really boosted the strength of this Maodun.

"Your Majesty, if you wish to see the upper echelons, we can simply build one within Xianyang City."

Why deceive yourself?

Hearing Tang Yu's question, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He then realized that Tang Yu had seen through his little scheme.

He couldn't help but say that.

"Mr. Tang is indeed right."

"With just a two-meter-high cement wall, the Hun horses would be rendered useless."

"As long as their horses can't get in, they can sneak onto the city walls, even if they can do so themselves."

"Then once they enter combat mode, they will be no match for the elite soldiers of our Great Qin."

"The Xiongnu will suffer heavy losses at that time."

Achoo! Achoo!

Maodun was sitting on the grassland, sneezing incessantly.

A sense of foreboding arose within me.

But he could never have predicted it.

At the same time, he did feel that the Great Wall in front of him was both strangely familiar and strange.

It seems this is the last time I will be able to set foot on the Great Wall.
