Chapter 147: The Battle of Strength Disparity
Along the way, the businessman took a closer look.
There were 5,000 armor-clad guards at the front and back ends of the caravan, and in the middle was a long convoy and more than 10,000 men!
But now, there was a battle formation of Great Qin in front of him!
Where did those smooth and heavy shields come from?!
A few nights ago, although there was also a vigil by the Qin army, there were not so many people, let alone these shields and crossbow archers?
The battle in front of him is like a caravan, it has simply entered the battlefield!
The merchant was dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and his gaze swept over the messy carriages of thick cloth that had been uncovered.
The sluggish face suddenly realized.
I finally know why there are so many heavy shields, and tens of thousands of Qin soldiers out of thin air!
Because, in the long convoy, only the first half is real cargo.
The back half of the convoy was full of ordnance!
And the more than 10,000 Qianshou dressed in coarse cloth, in addition to the 2,000 people who were really recruited, the other 10,000 people were all dressed as the Great Qin Border Army!
The businessman who was able to respond to the first trade of the government was naturally not a fool, and he didn't understand the scene in front of him that seemed to be prepared!
The caravan is being used as bait!
And the big fish that was caught is approaching rapidly with the roaring sound of horses' hooves!
I haven't been able to see the incoming enemies yet, but I can already see the night sky in the distance and the torches are already glowing red!
How many torches do you need to be able to turn the distant sky red......
Anyway, it must be more than Daqin's side!
Although the Qin army in front of him seemed to have expected it, it had already set up a formation for defense.
The roaring sound of horses' hooves and the distant sky reddened by torches speak volumes about the number of attackers.
Under the disparity in numbers, can it really be stopped?
Grunt!
The merchant swallowed with difficulty, a look of horror in his eyes.
Those aliens are all brutal and ferocious!
Once caught by them, the soldiers ushered in are endlessly enslaved and whipped, and I am afraid that in this life I can only live a life worse than that of animals, and die straight!
Perhaps, being killed in a raid is a kind of happiness .......
The merchants and men in the caravan were awakened from their sleep by the roar of horses' hooves.
Without exception, everyone had a look of fear on their faces!
Just when the caravan seemed to be about to go into chaos, the leading Qin army general rode up to the merchant and the minfu and turned his head to look.
Immediately, the guards beside him understood.
Ce Ma stepped forward and said loudly: "The Huns are coming, everyone stays where they are and can't move around at will!" If you do something suspicious, kill! ”
Suddenly, the merchants and the townsmen trembled with fright, and they all gathered together and did not dare to speak.
I don't even dare to make too big a move, for fear that if I cause a misunderstanding, I will be killed as a spy!
As for whether the Qin army can block the attack of the Huns, it can only be resigned to fate!
After warning the merchants and the people, the general left a group of men to maintain order, turned around and rode his horse to the front.
The dignified face is full of excitement!
This time, the two sides dispatched at least 200,000 troops to fight the battle, and it was the most dangerous to use it as a decoy.
In the same way, once you win, the credit is the greatest!
If there is no bait to contain and buy time, how can you give the army a chance to encircle!
Of course, the risks are enormous.
From the distant sound of horses' hooves, which seemed to tremble even the ground, it could be judged that the enemy was at least between five and eighty thousand horsemen.
The disparity in combat strength between the two sides is huge, and if the reinforcements can't arrive in time, it's only a matter of time before they are swallowed!
The general sat on horseback, looked at the sky in the distance, and couldn't help but tighten the reins in his hand.
In sight, burning torches can already be faintly seen.
Tens of thousands of torches are linked together, as if a huge flame is rapidly approaching!
As he got closer, he could already hear the strange screams of the Hun cavalry!
The general's face calmed down and ordered, "Ignite the fire!" ”
"Ignition!"
Immediately, the order was delivered.
In the blink of an eye, the Hun cavalry had rushed to five hundred paces away.
A horseman dressed in animal skins and wielding a scimitar grinned and pounced on the camp of the besieging iron barrel.
"Kill!"
One of the thousand horsemen who rushed to the front waved his scimitar high, turned his head and shouted excitedly.
I don't know if it was because of the turn, the speed was a little slower, and I was immediately overtaken by the cavalry behind.
The commander of the thousand cavalry has rich combat experience, and knows that the range of the Qin army's light bow is about 80 steps, and the maximum range of crossbow arrows is 200 steps.
As long as this distance is broken, the Qin army on the opposite side is like a chicken cub.
In front of the brave cavalry, the Qin infantry could only be slaughtered!
At this moment, it's time for new and old hatreds to be counted together!
The draw that was expelled by Meng Tian led by an army of 300,000 can also be reported!
The Xiongnu did not have the ability to attack the frontier garrisoned by the army, so they could only relieve the grievances in their hearts by attacking the caravan!
"Kill!"
Suddenly, the tyrannical shouts of killing shook the sky!
"What should I do?"
"Why don't you run away?"
"No, the shock guard formation will be killed!"
"So what do you say?"
“……”
When had the merchants seen such a big battle, trembling with fright at the shouting of killing, and regretting that they had ventured across the grassland for the sake of greedy profits!
Drinking a little wine at home, isn't it good for the concubine to hug ......it.
In the case of the huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, it is already difficult to have a chance to escape!
Among the 2,000 people, some were afraid, some clenched their fists, and once the escort army was defeated, they would not be taken prisoner even if they died in battle!
Just when the merchants and people were terrified, a deafening sound came, and even the feet shook underfoot!
Four hundred paces away from the escort formation, clusters of fire rose, mud splashed, and smoke and dust obscured the view!
"What's going on?" The merchant and the man were startled by the loud noise, and hurriedly stood on tiptoe to look into the distance.
Unfortunately, under the cover of dust and smoke, I couldn't see anything clearly.
"Ahh
"Ouch!"
One by one, the cavalry in front of the Hun charge fell, and the ground was littered with stumps mixed with blood.
Even the horses that rushed ahead were torn apart!
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
"Is Changshengtian angry?!"
The stormtroopers in front stopped in fright after the explosion, and those behind didn't have time to stop, and suddenly collided together.
Tens of thousands of cavalry and frightened war horses who were charging, shouting, neighing were in a mess!
"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! ”
The thousand horsemen scolded angrily, trying to gather their soldiers and horses and start the charge again.
At this moment, an order came from hundreds of paces away: "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”
Woohoo!
Suddenly, arrows from behind the shield pierced the night sky, roaring with the sound of breaking the sky!
