Chapter 297 Sealing the Wolf's Den [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The Kerulen River Grassland stretches from Langjuxu Mountain in the west to Hulunbuir in the east, covering an area of ​​7 square kilometers, roughly the size of two Taiwan islands.

It grazes 7 to 10 horses and is one of the three major grasslands of the Xiongnu, making it very important. It is guarded by the Xiongnu Left Wise King year-round.

The left side of the map from the perspective of the Xiongnu is the right side of the map from the perspective of the Qin people, which is the east.

Therefore, the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu was located to the right and east of the Qin Dynasty.

Chen Hong rode a tall white horse, leading eight hundred cavalrymen, like a divine army descending from the heavens!
He charged forward wielding the Dragon Roar Spear, slaughtering his way through the enemy lines and completely stunning the Xiongnu.

Before they could react, while they were still herding their horses, Chen Hong led his cavalry in a charge, slaughtering them indiscriminately.

Chen Hong drew his Heaven-Shaking Bow and led his cavalry in unleashing a volley of arrows, instantly killing countless Xiongnu warriors who had tried to resist.

Then, wielding the Dragon Roar Spear, he charged into battle, his spear energy overflowing, instantly crushing the hastily assembled tribal cavalry.

They charged in and out seven times, slaughtering indiscriminately, completely shattering the morale of the Left Wise King's troops.

One by one, the Xiongnu people cried out for their parents, dismounted, and surrendered, kneeling and kowtowing to Chen Hong, shouting loudly:
"God forgive me!"

"God, have mercy!"

Some people even called Chen Hong the Wolf God or the Lonely Plowman.

They were all terrified of Chen Hong.

Anyone who saw Chen Hong thrust out with his spear, the massive spear energy spiraling through the battle formation, piercing from one end to the other, killing tens of thousands of people with a single thrust, would be terrified.

Thus, Chen Hong easily charged straight into the Left Wise King's tent.

Along the way, all the Xiongnu people knelt down and prostrated themselves in worship.

Wherever they went, all surrendered.

They hastily assembled, but they were no match for Chen Hong, who had appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, they all regarded Chen Hong as a god, someone beyond human resistance.

They all lost their will to fight and dared not oppose the gods.

Soon, Chen Hong rushed to the front of the Left Wise King's tent.

I lifted the curtain and saw what was inside.

At this moment, the Left Wise King and a group of nobles had just finished their banquet and were sleeping with various beautiful women in their arms.

When Chen Hong and his group arrived, they brought with them a biting cold wind.

"you!"

"It's time to wake up!"

The Left Wise King was startled awake and looked at the Qin army's uniforms, including those worn by Chen Hong and the others, with a completely bewildered expression.

He rubbed his eyes again, staring wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"Qin...Qin army?"

Inside the tent, the princes, prime ministers, and nobles of the Left Wise King all woke up looking completely bewildered.

"how is this possible?"

"This is the Kerulen River grassland in the northern desert!"

How did the Qin army get here?

Why didn't we receive any news?

Chen Hong sneered: "The old tactics are outdated. I will use surprise attacks, as swift as lightning, advancing at breakneck speed. I call it: Blitzkrieg!"

"From that time on, the roles of offense and defense between Qin and Xiongnu became completely different!"

"I come and go like the wind in the grasslands and deserts of the north."

"The enemy can go, so can I!"

The Left Wise King and his men finally lost all hope, their faces turned deathly pale, their bodies went limp and powerless, and they collapsed to the ground.

"It's over, it's over..."

Everyone realized that a brand new era was about to begin.

The good days for the Xiongnu were over.

Tie them up, prisoners!
When I lead my troops back to Xianyang, I will present the prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and offer sacrifices to Heaven!

"wind!"

"wind!"

"Gale!"

The soldiers became excited and shouted loudly.

The nobles were so shocked that they trembled, turned pale, and looked utterly desperate.

Some Xiongnu nobles were so intimidated by the murderous aura of Chen Hong and his soldiers that they lost control of their bladders.

In this battle, Chen Hong captured 153 people, including the Left Wise King, his princes, generals, prime ministers, officials, and captains.

This can be described as wiping out the entire lineage of the Left Wise King.

They killed or captured 170,443 Xiongnu, and seized 90,000 horses and 650,000 cattle and sheep.

It can be said that one wave of people got rich and another wave of people got fat.

In order to protect these riches, Chen Hong released a powerful illusion, stunning all the horses, cattle, sheep, and Huns, plunging them into a deep slumber.

Then they put all the people and livestock into individual food bags.

The soldiers were filled with awe at the magnificent scene.

I had long heard of the immortal's virtuous reputation, but I never imagined that his supernatural powers were so vast. It is truly admirable.

Chen Hong led eight hundred cavalrymen on a fierce charge, speeding towards Langjuxu Mountain in the northwest, pursuing the fleeing enemy to the north, determined to flatten Langjuxu Mountain!
They fought their way to Langjuxu Mountain, the sacred mountain where the Xiongnu people worshipped the heavens and the Sirius god.

The Xiongnu believed their ancestors were "born of a wolf and a woman from the grasslands," and Mount Langjuxu was regarded as the abode of the wolf god, a concrete embodiment of their national origin myth.

By having the Chanyu preside over the sacrificial ceremony at Langjuxu Mountain, he could reinforce his status as the "Son of Heaven" and thereby consolidate the loyalty of the tribal alliance.

Langjuxu Mountain is also the place where the Xiongnu tribe rose to power. As the place that first nurtured the Xiongnu tribe, it holds a supreme position in the hearts of the Xiongnu people.

Langjuxu Mountain holds a similar high status to Mount Tai, which was the site of the highest imperial ceremony of the Central Plains dynasties.

Chen Hong led eight hundred cavalry directly to Langjuxu Mountain.

At this time, there weren't many Xiongnu people left in the Langjuxu Mountains; most of them had been summoned by Modu Chanyu to fight against Meng Tian. So Chen Hong fought his way through the Langjuxu Mountains and captured all the Xiongnu people.

They held a “conferment ceremony” directly at Langjuxu Mountain, which was a ceremony to worship Heaven, and read out a prayer, declaring that this place belonged to the Great Qin.

Chen Hong burned firewood, the smoke rising and communicating with the gods, and began to recite the sacrificial text:
"The Emperor of Heaven favors the virtuous and righteous... He sweeps away the filth of the six directions and establishes peace in the eight wastelands."

Today we have defeated the Xiongnu, sealed the Langjuxu Mountain, and inscribed this achievement on stone. From this day forward, for ten thousand years, the land radiating from the Langjuxu Mountain will forever belong to the Chinese people, and though the world changes, it will never turn back!
"Now that we have achieved success, I humbly request your approval!"

The kneeling Xiongnu people below watched this scene with humiliation and sorrow.

Someone shouted in grief and indignation in the Xiongnu language:

"Damn barbarians from the south, how dare you defile the sacred mountain of my Great Xiongnu!"

"Is our Great Xiongnu destined to perish today?"

Some even couldn't accept reality, their faith collapsed, and they committed suicide in grief and indignation.

"Ah! Mount Langjuxu will forever be the sacred mountain of my Great Xiongnu, and those southern barbarians will never be able to take it away!"

Having said that, he crashed headfirst into the Wolf Dwelling Mountain, his head bleeding profusely, and he died instantly.

There were also those who committed suicide by biting their tongues, those who committed suicide by taking poison, and so on.

Chen Hong ignored the Huns' grief and indignation. If suicide out of grief and indignation could save a nation, there would have been no Five Barbarian Invasions, no Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, no Jingkang Incident, no Yai Shan suicide, and no Emperor Chongzhen hanging himself.

After Chen Hong finished reading the sacrificial text, he offered three sacrificial animals, namely a white deer, a white yak, and a pig, which were pure white in color.

Originally, they were supposed to build an altar with five-colored soil, but the vast grassland simply couldn't gather enough five-colored soil.

Chen Hong simply erected a stone tablet to record the achievements of this battle, explain the cause and effect, and declare that the vast lands to the north, south, east, and west of Langjuxu Mountain would all belong to Qin and be incorporated into the map of China, leaving it for future generations to know as evidence since ancient times.

After stunning all the surrendered Xiongnu people, cattle, sheep, and horses, they were put into individual food bags.

Without stopping, Chen Hong went to Guyan Mountain nearby to perform a "Zen ceremony" to comfort the fallen soldiers.

The so-called Zen ritual is actually a sacrifice to the earth.

Chen Hong built a square altar at the foot of Guyan Mountain, and then buried sacrificial offerings such as grains and jade objects to express his gratitude to the earth for its nurturing grace.

Then, ancient music such as "Yunmen" and "Dazhang" were played, and dancers held feather flutes and performed the "Eight-Row Dance" to entertain the earth gods with harmonious rituals.

Chen Hong began reciting the sacrificial text: "The earth bears all things, and its virtue is boundless... We respectfully offer jade, silk, and rice offerings, along with fragrant incense, to repay the earth's abundant blessings and pray for a bountiful harvest."

From then on, Chen Hong completed the Fengshan ceremony, a ritual only an emperor could perform, at Langjuxu Mountain and Guyan Mountain, declaring sovereignty and incorporating the vast grasslands to the north, south, east, and west of Langjuxu Mountain into the territory of China.

After the Fengshan ceremony, Chen Hong continued westward, leading his army to drink from the Han Sea (present-day Lake Baikal) and completely wiped out the remnants of the Xiongnu.

Then Chen Hong conquered Longcheng, utterly defeated the Chanyu court, and trampled this political center and sacred site of the Xiongnu people underfoot.

Longcheng was the core sacrificial site of the Xiongnu Chanyu court, where a large gathering ("Great Assembly Longcheng") was held every May to worship ancestors, heaven and earth and spirits.

The Xiongnu nobles held a meeting here to decide on major military and diplomatic affairs.

Chen Hong captured Longcheng and killed Modu Chanyu's uncle, Xubudang, and Luandiyan, the son of Zuoguli King.

When Chen Hong conquered Longcheng and arrived at the Chanyu's royal tent, the highest-ranking Xiongnu nobles were still completely bewildered.

"you!"

"It's time to wake up."

"Who are you?" a little child asked in fear.

"Who are you?"

“I am Luan Di Wuwei, the youngest prince of the Chanyu.”

"Alright, I've captured you, the Xiongnu prince."

"Give the order to bind this Xiongnu prince, this Xiongnu queen, and all these officials—the prime minister, general, headman, and captain—for me."

"Yes!"

Thus, Modu Chanyu went out to fight Meng Tian, ​​but the crystal was stolen by Chen Hong.

Chen Hong wiped out the Chanyu's relatives and the top nobles of the Xiongnu.

They were all taken prisoner and were to be taken back to Xianyang.

For the Xiongnu, this was no less than a "Jingkang Incident" (a historical event known for its humiliation).

Chen Hong swept away the entire Selenge River basin pasture controlled by Longcheng.

This pasture was located around present-day Ulaanbaatar, encompassing the Orkhon River Valley (the site of the Xiongnu Dragon City).

Its area is approximately 170,000 square kilometers, equivalent to eight Hetao Plains.

This pasture had the most abundant water and grass, supporting more than half of the Xiongnu's livestock, and could raise 10 horses and 80 sheep.

The Selenga River basin pastures were the Xiongnu's primary pastures, their "land of abundance," supporting half of the Xiongnu tribes and forming the core of the core.

However, Chen Hong stole this fertile core pasture.

Chen Hongzhen was stunned by all the surrendered Xiongnu people and put them away.

Chen Hong also collected the 10 horses, 80 sheep, and countless treasures gathered by the Xiongnu people.

Chen Hong even captured the small golden statue that the Xiongnu people used for sacrificial rites to heaven.

Having captured Longcheng, Chen Hong was not satisfied and continued westward for another thousand miles.

Arriving at Yanran Mountain, we finally reached the battlefield where the main forces of the Xiongnu and the main forces of the Qin army were locked in a standoff.

With only 800 cavalrymen, a small force and minimal movement, Chen Hong swiftly circled behind the main Xiongnu force.

UI!
At this point, those Xiongnu people who had been defeated by Chen Hong were either killed or captured and imprisoned in a dark room by Chen Hong.

News of Chen Hong's astonishing deeds had not yet reached Modu Chanyu.

With lightning speed, Chen Hong struck directly at the heart of the Xiongnu Chanyu's main force.

"kill!"

Holding the Liquan Dragon Roar Spear, Chen Hong rode on a white horse and thrust out the spear. The enormous spear energy, like a divine or demonic spear, spiraled and pierced into the rear army formation of Modu Chanyu.

They immediately pierced through Modu Chanyu's army formation, breaking through 50,000 armored soldiers!

"What!!"
