CHAPTER 24 CHAPTER XXIV

When the snowball was about 100 meters away from the enemy's tent, the general Sima Cuo ordered: "Light the torches, get on the horse, and kill." ”

The whole army shouted loudly.

"No"

With a sound of "brush", countless soldiers of the Qin army neatly praised their horses.

"Bow and crossbow on arrows!" the general of the Qin army gave the battle order.

Tens of thousands of soldiers took off the bows and crossbows hanging on horses, skillfully pulled out the arrows in the quivers on their backs, and the benefits of the saddle were revealed.

"Blood debt and blood payment!"

Under Sima Cuo's order, the soldiers shouted and rushed to the Huns in the basin.

The sound of horses' hooves gathered together, the momentum was huge, thousands of horses galloped, and a breath of slaughter and iron blood came from the 70,000 cavalry.

Many Hun cavalry were ruthlessly crushed to death by the big snowball, and the snowball finally did not roll to the Huns' Chinese army tent, and collided and shattered each other outside the big tent, but built a snow wall for the Huns.

"Driving ......"

In the eyes of the Huns, the entire basin was full of Qin troops wearing armor and coming from the mountains and seas, and the black pressure made them unable to raise the courage to fight.

The sound of "clang" and "clang" made by the impact of the armor on the soldiers of the Qin army has a unique charm.

Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed to the bottom of the basin, and when they were still eighty meters away from the snow wall, they all stopped under Sima Cuo's order, and pointed their bows and crossbows at a thirty-degree angle above the snow wall.

"Put. ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers pulled the trigger, and 50,000 arrows were ejected from their crossbows.

And the soldiers of the Qin army who shot the arrows loaded the arrows again under the orders of the generals, shot arrows, and so on and so forth.

The Qin army's arrows still became a rain of arrows, wave after wave, as if endless.

The sound of "whooshing" broke through the sky, and suddenly 50,000 arrows flew into the air, showing a scene of covering the sky and avoiding the sun, and this scene made the enemy soldiers shiver all over the body and hide everywhere.

The Xiongnu prince Mao Dun, under the escort of the general's Shi Li, although he was not injured by the riots, he was also frightened by those irresistible snowballs. Previously, a huge snowball rushed towards him from afar, and if it weren't for Shi Li's extraordinary martial arts, it saved him at the critical moment. He's probably just like the guards, and he's a pile of flesh.

When Mao Dun had just gathered 50,000 Hun cavalry to prepare to break through, arrows covering the sky and the moon swooped in from the sky, and the 50,000 Hun cavalry were frightened and fled in all directions. Looking at the countless rain of arrows, his heart was full of despair.

Shi Li looked at the team of only 5,000 people left with the personal guards of the two of them, and it was extremely desolate, and he still said disagreeingly: "Raise your shield and protect the prince." ”

"Yes"

A wooden shield was raised above their heads, the first batch of arrows just shot down, the sound of "hoo" came from the shield, Mao Dun and the others were even more worried, the shield was broken, they must have been shot into a humanoid hedgehog.

"Ah......h

"Don't"

"I surrenderβ€”"

"Don'tβ€”"

The screams of the Huns who had no shelter were incessant, and they became the targets of slaughter. Shi Li was heartbroken when he heard this, these are the elite of the Huns, his subordinates, the foundation of his life in the Huns, he didn't expect to be so vulnerable in front of the Qin army, only to be slaughtered. It gave him a clear understanding of the strength of the Great Qin army.

The Huns didn't even have a chance to counterattack, and tens of thousands of Hun cavalry died under the rain of arrows from the Qin State.

Soon the Qin army shot thirty rounds of arrow rain, and the screams in the snow wall were gone.

Sima Cuo understood that those who could be shot had already been shot, and those who were still alive could not be shot again for a hundred rounds, and the only way left was a bloody battle between the two armies.

Inside the snow walls. Prince Maudun regained his former calm and sagacity, and ordered: "Go and gather those who are still alive, and tell them that those who still want to live will rush out with this prince." ”

"Yes, Prince. After saying that, the guard rode away.

Looking at the thick snow wall, he said in disbelief: "I didn't expect the army of the Qin State to come so quickly, and they actually knew and kept tracking us, the Central Plains is really a place that can be doubled, not to be underestimated." ”

Shi Li didn't care about this, he cared about how to escape from the Qin army. A little anxiously asked, "Prince, how can we break through?"

Mao Dun thought for a while and said: "Just now, the prince looked at the density of the feather arrows of the Qin army, and only the feather arrows shot from the east were more sparse than the other three directions. It shows that there are fewer enemies in the east, and Hamu is my confidant, and when he sees me trapped, he will definitely lead an army from the east to rescue me. We broke through from the east, and with fewer enemies, we were able to join Hamu. At that time, our strength will be greatly increased, and we will have more hope of fighting out of the encirclement of the Qin army. ”

"Haha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really powerful, and he can easily see where the enemy's flaws are, and the last general will admire it. Shi Li said happily.

Prince Mao Dun said modestly: "General Shi Li is the first master of my Great Huns, and this breakthrough depends on the general to lead the army to open the way in front." ”

Mao Dun's words made Shi Li feel excited, and said very heroically: "The prince can rest assured, with me Shi Li, I will definitely protect the prince's safety." ”

Soon Maudun's personal guards brought back more than 20,000 people, plus their 5,000 men, a total of 30,000 soldiers. He didn't even kill a single enemy, but he had 90,000 dead on his side, and Mao Dun didn't even want to believe it, how he wished it was a dream.

"Driving...... ...... driving"

The sound of horses' hooves came from the phalanx behind Sima Cuo, and he knew that it was the 30,000 Hun cavalry at the gap in the basin that had come to his aid, but he had already arranged it.

In the rear of the Qin army, Gan Mao had already led 20,000 cavalry to prepare for it.

Seeing the enemy forces approaching closer and closer, Gan Mao calmly ordered: "Prepare." ”

Seeing that the enemy entered the range of the bow and crossbow, he once again ordered: "Release." ”

20,000 feathered arrows flew towards the enemy, and a round of arrows killed about 3,000 enemies. Another round of feather arrows was fired at the Huns, and more than 1,000 Huns were shot off their horses. The two armies were about 100 meters apart, and although General Hamu, who took the lead in the charge, had red eyes, he did not lose his mind, and said coldly: "Release the arrow." The Huns clamped their legs on horseback, pulled their bows and arrows, and just happened to encounter the third round of arrow rain from the Qin army, which not only shot a group of Huns, but also caused them some chaos. The Huns succeeded in firing less than 20,000 arrows.

Seeing the arrows shooting towards him, Gan Mao unhurriedly ordered the Qin soldiers to raise their shields to protect themselves, some feather arrows were shot on the shields, and some were shot on the soldiers' bodies, but these 100,000 soldiers were all wearing bronze armor, and the casualties were not very large, without such sophisticated equipment, how could the Military Machine Pavilion dare to send 100,000 cavalry to the west, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as they are not ambushed by the enemy, these 100,000 cavalry are not afraid of all enemies.

"Kill", 20,000 Qin troops killed from behind the 30,000 cavalry of Hamu. It turned out to be Wang Jian who was ambushed in the mouth of the basin, and after Hamu led the army to leave, he quickly attacked and killed the 5,000 people left by Hamu to guard the grain and the captured Qin people, and left 10,000 soldiers to protect the people, and then led the army to chase after him.

The movements caused by the battle between Gan Mao and Hamu were naturally heard by Mao Dun and others.

"Listen, prince, it must be Hamu who led the army to come to the rescue, and the enemy is at war, and this is the best time to break through. Shi Li said excitedly.

"General Shili, Hamu must have come in a hurry with the army, did not bring enough food, we killed the Qin army to surround it, people want to eat and drink, horses need grain and grass, the general first brought 20,000 soldiers to support General Hamu, I led 10,000 soldiers to the warehouse to carry food, and then came to meet the two generals. Maudun said as if he had been prepared.

"What the prince said is reasonable, and the general will lead the army to support Hamu. ”

After saying this, he led the army to the east.

Outside the snow wall to the east.

After Huo Qubing shot thirty rounds of feather arrows according to Sima Cuo's order, he led his army to join Sima Cuo. At this time, he had come to the east wall, looking at this snow wall, a contemptuous smile flashed at the corner of Huo Quzhi's mouth, and he ordered the guards around him to retreat.

Holding a spear in his hand, running the exercises, a powerful aura emanated from him, and he shouted, "The first style of the Huo family's marksmanship: "Who else should I be." The spear in his right hand stabbed forward, and with a "boom", a wall of snow about two meters thick in front of him turned into snow blocks of different sizes and flew out.

It happened that Shi Li and other 30,000 Huns saw the picture of snow blocks, and a few unlucky people were even killed by the flying snow blocks. Seeing the amazing momentum of Huo Quai's husband and wife, and the invincible power of blasting open the snow wall, the war horses of the Huns were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

At this time, Huo Qubing was wearing silver armor and white robes, and he was powerful, like a god.

"The General is Mighty"

"The General is Mighty"

"Mighty...... Mighty ......"

The officers and men of the First Army were also shocked by their commander, came back to their senses, and shouted excitedly.

Huo Quzhi tapped his toes, jumped up, and landed on his mount with a dodge in the air. The spear pointed forward and shouted "kill".

"Kill"

Seeing that their generals were so powerful, the soldiers of the First Army were full of morale and enthusiasm, and followed Huo Qubing to kill the 20,000 Huns.

On the other hand, the Hun cavalry led by Shi Li was already killed by the bow and crossbow without any fighting intentions, and at this time the morale was even more low.

A "zheng" sounded.

Huo Quai's spear and Shi Li's broadsword collided together, and the two were evenly divided.

As for the other Huns, they were not so lucky, the soldiers of the first army used two-meter-long swords, which collided with the weapons of the Huns, some were knocked off horseback, some were killed by one move, and some had various crises. And Qin Jun still sat smoothly in the saddle, and there was no sliding backwards without being hit.

And the two main generals have been fighting more than a dozen moves, the two horses have staggered, Shi Li held a knife and leaned over to cut Huo Quzhi's neck, Huo Quzhi grabbed the saddle with his left hand, one turned sideways to the horse's left abdomen, and the spear in his right hand stabbed into Shi Li's chest, Shi Li's knife swept into a horizontal cut, and knocked away Huo Quzhi's blow, but it still cut a scar on his chest.

Huo Qubing led the first army to kill 20,000 Huns, beheaded 8,000 enemies, and suffered 1,000 casualties.

Shi Li didn't turn the horse's head to continue fighting, but rushed directly in the direction of Hamu.
