Chapter 2: Blood Mist in the Sand Sea
A cold light spread in Meng Tian's eyes, but this whistling sharp arrow could only cause a trace of waves in his heart, his right hand shook, and the strong crossbow hanging on the saddle was withdrawn, and then three powerful crossbow arrows suddenly came out in his backhand, a crossbow triple bead, which was the domineering place of Qin's crossbow.
――Bell――
A thunderbolt exploded in mid-air, the collision of arrows and arrows, the battle between bows and crossbows, the picture seemed to be frozen at this moment, all the soldiers who were fighting seemed to have become a static reference at this time, the whole space was shaken by this powerful arrow, and the whole time was still for this.
This moment seemed like an eternity, but it was an instant, Meng Tian smiled, but the right valley Li King looked resentful, he obviously did not expect the Qin people's bow and crossbow to be so strong, nor did he expect that Meng Tian could find the sharp arrow he shot so quickly, and the process and result were beyond his imagination.
Originally, he thought that he could successfully annihilate this hateful Qin army in the first stage of the plan, but at this moment he knew how naïve such an idea was, when the indisputable facts were in front of him, the king of Yougu Li could only choose to retreat, and there was a bigger gift waiting for the enemy from the Central Plains in front.
――Wow〜
As soon as the Hun order flag changed, all the Hun soldiers immediately retreated deeper into the Crescent Valley, leaving behind the corpses of their companions and the sturdy war horses.
"The enemy army is scattered, and the whole army charges-!"
――Woohoo――
With Meng Tian's roar, it was the horn of the Qin army's attack, and the teams of golden fire cavalry spears and swords were like a tide, as if they were really incarnated into flames to burn this boundless grassland!
In the wide valley, the deafening sound of horses' hooves resounded, the earth trembled, the birds were alarmed, and the pursuit of hundreds of miles to break the enemy's ambush seemed to be developing in the direction of victory, but is it really the case?
The answer is clearly no, because danger has already come!
Once again, the attack descended like a gale, but this time it was not a rain of arrows, but an endless stream of yellow sand.
Gradually, the sand became thicker and thicker, rolling up layers of turbulent waves, and the entire turquoise valley became a sea of sand, and all the Qin people were submerged in the endless sea of sand.
"Ahem, ahem! What's going on! "Ahh Oh my eyes! "I can't see, I can't see!"
The helpless shouts continued to echo in the sea of sand, and it was impossible to tell who was who, nor could they hear who was talking, many people were buried under the yellow sand in this way, and there were many more people who lost their heads in vain, and the most innocent ones were those who accidentally fell off their horses and were trampled to death by their comrades!
All the shouts came to Meng Tian's ears like a tidal wave, but he couldn't go to the rescue, because at this moment, he himself was too busy to take care of himself, [Cangyun Jia] could block all the divine blades in the world, but it couldn't stop the wild sand in the sky, and his eyes, nose, mouth, and cochlea were all filled with sand.
No one wants to try it...... However, a qiē did not end there! "Ahh My hand, who cut off my hand, who-! ”
A terrible scream was like the chant of the devil in hell, and an invisible terror began...... "Ahhhh My legs, which son of a bitch cut off my legs, come out, get out of here. ”
"Ah, my ear, how am I missing an ear. Ahh ”
Countless screams echoed in the sea of sand, and panic spread through the bewildered army, and it was out of control.
All the people don't know the right direction, all the people can't tell the enemy, all the people don't know if they can get out of here alive.
This is the desert, a beautiful place, but also a bloody place, one moment the sky is clear, the next moment it may be the wild sand, the Qin people think this is bad luck, but the Huns think this is a gift from the gods to them!
"Your Excellency...... Do you still need to continue? ”
In the distance, groups of Hun cavalry were neatly arranged, and in the center was a general in brocade clothes, who was the right king of the Huns.
"Quya, let our warriors come back, this time it is the punishment given by the gods to the Qin people, and one day Da Shan Yu will lead us to truly defeat these hateful Central Plains people!"
"Yes! Your Excellency the Right Virtuous King. "King Gu Li took the order and left, [Quya] is the name of this Xiongnu prince.
――Swarthy hey――
With a cheerful whistling, the Hun killers, hidden in the dust, quickly reunited with the large army and disappeared into the endless wilderness, as if this battle had never happened.
………………
Half an hour later, the dust slowly dissipated.
Meng Tian, who was heroic in the past, is now a little disgraced.
He spat a few mouthfuls of spit, but there was still a dry taste of sand in his mouth, which was really uncomfortable, since he went deep into the desert, this was Meng Tian's first failure, and it was also a fiasco.
In his mind, the reason why the Huns dared to invade the border pass was because His Majesty the Emperor transferred a large number of troops to Songhai to carry out the mirage, and the border pass was empty, causing the Huns to take advantage of the void.
However, after this battle, Meng Tian really realized that the Hun cavalry did have the strength and courage to fight against the Great Qin soldiers.
Thinking of this, Meng Tian's brows furrowed even deeper, before leaving, he had already made a military order to His Majesty the Emperor, but today's results really made Meng Tian feel very ashamed.
"What about the casualties?" Looking at the lieutenant general beside him, Meng Tian asked another worry in his heart.
"General Qiqi, our army lost nearly 1,000 people in this battle, more than 1,300 people who were seriously injured and could not fight again, and nearly 2,000 people were lightly wounded."
"What-!" Meng Tian's gaze froze, obviously he didn't expect that the casualties would be so heavy this time.
"General Qiqi, in addition to the fallen soldiers this time, there are more than 800 soldiers who died because of the trampling of their comrades...... the adjutant general's tone was a little low, and looking at Meng Tian's eyes also flashed a little, because this is a shame, being trampled to death by his own companions, how ironic this is for an elite army!
"How can this be?" Meng Tian let out a low roar, his hand was already tightly clenched into a fist, he understood that this qiē was caused by this sudden sandstorm, but what he didn't expect was that even if there was no such sandstorm, the cavalry of the Xiongnu Youxian King would be enough for him to drink a pot.
"General ......" looked at Meng Tian with blue tendons on his forehead, and the adjutant general cautiously asked for the next plan of action.
"Order the whole army, retreat thirty miles, and wait for reinforcements!" No! ”
