Chapter 226: Defeat of the Huns

The appearance of Qin Jun was really beyond everyone's expectations!

Who would have thought that Qin Jun would appear in this Donghu territory at this time?

You must know that the Qin State wants to change the law and implement a new policy, and it is said that the internal worries are unbearable. Moreover, in recent years, there has been no dispute between the Qin State and Donghu, and at this time, the Qin State actually sent troops to Donghu?

How is this possible!

However, the scene in front of him, those black flags in the sky, who else could it be?

At this moment, whether it was the Donghu people or the Huns, everyone showed a look of shock and consternation, because this was so unexpected, so unexpected that it even made people feel a little unbelievable.

When everyone saw the black-pressed Qin Jun, their eyes looked like they had seen a ghost.

Some people even wonder if their eyes are wrong, and rub their eyes vigorously, for fear that they are wrong.

Yes, its appearance is really elusive.

The Donghu people are okay, after all, Donghu is finished, and when the Qin army is here, the consequences will not be bad anymore.

But for Maudun and the Huns, it was something of horror and despair.

You must know that the Xiongnu have always been enemies of the Qin State, and now that the Qin army suddenly attacked from the rear, how could everyone not be surprised?

Maudun, in particular, almost fell off his horse when he saw the black flag.

Because at this time, when Donghu surrendered, the victory of destroying Donghu was already in sight, as long as these remnants of Donghu were surrendered, and then, Donghu's grassland, population, and livestock would all be the spoils of the Xiongnu.

But......

At this time, the Qin army appeared inexplicably, can the fruit of this victory in the conquest of Donghu still be his own?

Thinking of this, Mao Dun almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. He never dreamed that such a change would occur at this time when victory was in sight!

He was panicked and worried.

This conquest of Donghu is related to his future status in the Xiongnu, and at the same time, it is also related to the future rise and fall of the Xiongnu.

"Quick, quick, the front team becomes the back team, ready to meet the enemy!"

As he ordered the army to meet the enemy, Maudun rushed from the rear to the front with his horseback.

At this time, he also probably saw that the Qin army had about 30,000 people, and the number was almost the same as his own Xiongnu army, which gave him a little comfort.

Seeing the chaotic appearance of the Hun army, he hurriedly said: "Don't panic, don't panic!" The Qin army only has 30,000 people, we are warriors on the grassland, and we will definitely be able to defeat them in terms of cavalry and archery! ”

After he shouted like this, the rioting Hun army did calm down a lot.

What Mao Dun said was indeed right, although in recent years, the 300,000 troops of the Qin army have made the Huns retreat again and again. However, it was not that the Xiongnu were weaker than the Qin army, but because there were more Qin troops, 300,000 against 100,000, and the Xiongnu had to retreat to the north of Yinshan.

At this time, the Qin army in front of him was equal in number and all of them were cavalry. Whether it is riding or riding archery, it can be said that the Qin army is at a disadvantage, so as long as there is no accident in this battle, it will not be defeated, and it can even win a big victory.

Although he said this, in fact, Mao Dun was extremely worried in his heart.

Because the Qin army has always gone out to fight, it is hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are only 30,000 cavalry in front of them, which is very abnormal.

If the Qin army still has a large army behind, then it will really be finished today.

Moreover, Mao Dun also had a worry, that is, at this time, the Xiongnu army turned around to meet the Qin army, but there were more than 10,000 remnants of the Donghu army behind him. If more than 10,000 people from Donghu suddenly came from the rear and attacked from the front and back when the two armies were fighting, the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, in this situation, it is useless to worry.

He can only console himself that nothing will be the worst.

In this way, there is still hope for everything.

At this time, the Qin army was close at hand, and Mao suddenly shouted: "Warriors of the Huns, for our victory, for the future of the Huns, kill!" ”

Suddenly, 30,000 cavalry raised their whips and rushed towards the iron cavalry of the Qin army with black flags in the sky......

At the same time, the ranks of the Qin army.

When Li Yang saw that it was the Hun army that rushed over, he was overjoyed.

The intelligence is really right, the army of the Huns is really in Donghu!

It seems that today is going to pick up a big bargain!

"Wahaha......"

Li Yang laughed a few times, and then immediately ordered Han Xin: "Give me an impact!" ”

"Whoa!"

Han Xin received the order, and then Qin Jian pulled out and roared: "Impact!" ”

Suddenly, the 30,000 Qin army iron cavalry, the momentum immediately accelerated suddenly, and rushed towards the Hun cavalry......

Li Yang knew that when dealing with the Hun cavalry, he should directly attack, because compared to cavalry shooting, the Qin army was no match for these nomads.

In history, it was also against the Huns, why was Li Guang's entire army annihilated, while Wei Qinghuo won a complete victory?

The root cause is actually a matter of tactics, and Li Guang, a person like Li Guang, who has grown up in the northern border counties for generations and is familiar with animal husbandry, also uses the tactics of mounted archery. However, the Han army at that time could not compete with the Huns in terms of cavalry and archery, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a large-scale cavalry force to attack the Xiongnu for the first time, and ended in a fiasco, with a total of 40,000 Han troops on four routes losing nearly half, indicating that traditional cavalry tactics were difficult to fight against the Xiongnu.

In the later sortie, Wei Qing quickly figured out the new cavalry tactical principles, not competing with the Huns for long-distance cavalry shooting, but transplanting the frontal charge tactics used by the Central Plains infantry, and using hand-to-hand combat to offset the Huns' cavalry and archery advantage, which achieved a great victory.

Similarly, Meng Tian's tactics against the Hun cavalry were also hand-to-hand combat. Of the 300,000 troops of the Great Wall Battalion, there were only 100,000 cavalry, and the remaining 200,000 were all infantry, so when the Hetao area was first recovered, the cavalry was only a non-main force for mobile response.

As a traverser, Li Yang is naturally not stupid enough to use his weaknesses to deal with the enemy's strengths.

What's more, now his 30,000 iron cavalry are all equipped with stirrups and saddles, which are more conducive to impact tactics, and the cavalry has strong stability on horseback, and at the same time, it also frees up its hands and can use great strength for slashing.

It can be said without doubt that as long as the iron cavalry of the Qin army rushed into the army formation of the Hun cavalry, it would be simply overwhelming.

Han Xin rushed over with 30,000 iron horsemen, and Li You's 5,000 feathers stayed in place to protect Li Yang.

In fact, Li You also wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but he knew that the dean was very afraid of death, and he would definitely not agree to Yulin Jun also participating in the killing, so he couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart.

On the vast grassland, the cavalry of the two sides combined with a total of 60,000 troops, running wildly on the grassland.

The momentum can be described as the earth shaking the mountain, and the earth can feel the slight trembling under the horse's hooves.

Five hundred meters!

Four hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!

"Put!" Han Xin gave a shout!

Suddenly, with a "boom", the Qin crossbows were released, and the dense black spots formed by the arrows in the sky pierced the Huns' cavalry......

In an instant, the Huns rushed to the front of the cavalry, dismounted one after another, and fell into a piece.

The neighing of horses and the screams of horses are incessant.

Mao Dun was also almost shot by Qin's crossbow, and his face turned pale with fright.

What's more, his army has not fired a single arrow, and has already suffered thousands of casualties, and he can't help but be horrified.

However, he was a great leader, and he was surprised, but he still calmly gave the order: "Disperse the whole army, ride and shoot the enemy!" ”

After the words fell, the 30,000 Hun cavalry scattered left and right in an instant, preparing to launch cavalry tactics against the Qin army.

It's just that to Mao Dun's surprise, the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Qin army continued to impulse, and they also threw the Qin crossbow, picked up the halberd and short sword one after another, and crushed towards their own team......

The poor Hun cavalry shot out a wave of arrows with a bow and arrows, and then saw the black and oppressive Qin army iron cavalry crashing over.

One by one, the halberd pierced directly through the chest, and then followed the momentum and was directly stabbed off the horse by the halberd.

There were even more Hun cavalry, only had time to see a black shadow flashing, and then there was a whirlwind of the sky, and a head flew into the sky......

What is even more tragic is that some Hun cavalry saw the Qin army rushing over, so they also abandoned their bows and picked up swords to fight.

However, they were horrified to find that these Qin troops who rushed over suddenly stood up from the running horses, stood upright, held swords in both hands, and slashed down domineeringly.

The Hun cavalry held the reins with one hand, stabilized their bodies, and could only hold their weapons with one hand to block, and the result was obvious.

Standing on the stirrups with both feet, the whole body standing upright, holding the weapon in both hands, and slashing down from the top, how could the Hun cavalry stop this kind of power.

Countless Hun cavalry, just a short handover, was immediately split off the horse by the huge strength of the Qin army!

This is...... What's the situation?

Seeing this scene, Mao Dun was stunned!

How could Qin Jun stand upright from a running horse?

How can they hold their swords in both hands and slash?

Mao Dun's face was horrified and horrified, and his face was full of disbelief.

Because he couldn't figure out how Qin Jun did it!

I saw that the cavalry of the Qin army at this time, one by one, stood upright on horseback, and raised the Qin sword high with both hands, like a group of devils rushing out of hell, harvesting human lives in the ranks of the Huns......

Not only did Mao Dun's eyes widen in shock, but all the Hun generals were full of incredulity and shock.

As nomads, they naturally understand how impractical it is to stand upright on horseback and slash with weapons in both hands.

And all this, Qin Jun can actually do?

In this momentary stunned, a Hun general exclaimed: "Look! Their horses were loaded with stuff, and they could stand on that pedal! ”

Mao Dun took a look, and sure enough, it was so.

I saw that Qin Jun's horse had a cushion on which to sit, and there were pedals next to the horse's belly.

At this moment, Mao Dun finally understood what was going on.

That is, the moment he understood that the cavalry of the Qin army was equipped with this kind of stirrup saddle, Mao Dun's heart was cold.

It's over, this defeat is decided!

The Qin army was equipped with this kind of artifact, and directly turned the cavalry into such a brave one, so the this battle is still a wool! If you continue, you can't end up in annihilation?

Thinking of this, Mao suddenly felt a heart congestion, and almost vomited blood.

At this time, the army of 30,000 was suddenly reduced by 10,000 after a quarter of an hour of fighting.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

Seeing that in an instant, nearly half of the Hun cavalry had been killed and wounded, and Mao Dun hurriedly shouted in despair, and then hurriedly urged the horse to retreat and flee.

"Boss, the enemy is fleeing, whether to pursue or not!"

The herald lieutenant asked.

Li Yang said: "Ling Han Xin, lead 20,000 iron cavalry to pursue!" ”

"Whoa!"

The herald captain immediately rushed to Han Xin in the formation on his horse, and the herald passed.

Soon, Han Xin divided his troops into 20,000 troops and chased after the remnants of the Huns who fled in defeat......
