Huamachi is not the only saltwater lake outside the Saiwai, there are more than a dozen large and small salt ponds scattered within a hundred miles around it, like stars dotted on this barren land. However, not every lake is lush with vegetation, and many salt ponds have dried up because of the shallow water, leaving only cracked land mixed with loess and brine salts, and many places in the depths are white......

At noon on this winter day, a battle of speed was going on on this salt flat.

It was the Huns who fled with their legs tightly between their legs in front and the horses, and Qin and Rong were chasing after them in the rear.

Although the Huns were all knights and ran fast, but the horses were also superior and disadvantaged, and the strong men had long since run away under the leadership of their big masters, but the Huns who rode inferior horses were unlucky, and they were still caught up by the outflanked Qin cavalry.

Everyone was out of formation, and there was only the enemy in front of them, and within a radius of more than ten miles, skirmishes were everywhere.

After a few days of fighting, Yiqu White Wolf, Fu Zhi and others also understood, the dangerous road is overwhelming, and galloping and shooting, the strength of the Huns, China's horsemanship and also, their advantage lies in the equipment, in the number of people.

Therefore, when Qin Cai caught up with the Huns, he did not pay attention to the arrows they occasionally fired, except for a few unlucky people who were directly hit by the vital point of the face gate and died on the spot, those bone clusters were shot on the shoulders and chests protected by thick leather armor, and there was only a trace of short-term pain, as if heavy rain was hitting the body, at most breaking the skin, and it could not hurt the flesh and bones at all.

The Huns also learned to be obedient, and they immediately began to change their goals, and directly turned around and shot their horses with bows!

The horses of the Qin people were not dressed in armor, and they would still bleed in the face of the rapid cluster of arrows, but only a few of the horses fell to the ground due to injuries from their mounts, and they had to stop the pursuit. The rest of the people were still trying to get closer, and the Huns would slow down their horses when they rode and fired, so that even if they were lucky enough to shoot down one Qin horseman, the other nine men were constantly shortening the distance......

When they were three to five paces away from the Huns, the Qin and Rong cavalry drew out the long-handled swords used by the Qin army's chariots and cavalry, beryllium, and tried to poke the Huns off their horses.

The Huns also tried to draw their weapons to fight back, but their blades were only shorter knives and axels, one inch long and one inch stronger, Hugh said that the two sides were several feet apart in length.

Fu Zhi's weapons are different from ordinary people, using a heavier "殳" shu, with a round hammer-shaped head and no blade.

Although he can't ride and shoot, he has a killer move, that is, he is powerful, playing the common "stone-throwing" in the army, just like the Hercules of the Olympic Games, after a few rotations, he can throw dozens of steps in one breath! Beyond the pavilion!

At present, holding an iron hammer weighing dozens of catties in his hand, it is also like playing with a light wooden stick, when he was in Beidi County, he played this weapon and called the captain of Heifu County to see it, he was full of praise, and asked the craftsman to improve it, added some thorn-like iron nails to the coffin, and gave it a simple and crude name: "mace".

At this moment, Fu Zhi wheeled his mace and smashed into the ugly Hun on the side, first smashed the bow and arrow he raised in terror, and then took advantage of the situation to go up, hitting the Hun man's chin, causing him to fall off his horse, leaving a piece of blood on the white salt flat, and a mouth full of rotten teeth......

After only a while, more than a dozen Huns were stabbed off their horses by the sons of the good family, rolled on the salt flats, and were trampled by the Qin cavalry behind.

After dealing with this group of enemies, Fu Zhi saw that there were more than 100 people fighting in front of him.

Take a closer look, it was the sons of the good family led by his friend Qiang Hua. Qianghua's ancestors are Qiang people, since childhood practice riding and archery, he brought a hundred good families are also good at bows and crossbows, their fighting style and Fu Zhi's side of a hundred people are good at hand-to-hand horse combat is different, and the Huns circle fighting, relying on bows and arrows to divide the victory.

I saw Qiang Hua's tiger eyes widened, shouting and fighting, letting the wind whistle around him, fluttering in the air, just kept galloping to the edge, and then stopped the horse, opened the bow and arrows, and fired arrows at the Huns, almost a hundred shots, and his subordinates also did the same, but they mostly used crossbows.

Fu Zhi and others immediately joined the battlefield, went straight through the Hu cavalry, and soon helped Qiang Hua solve the remnants of the Huns.

Fu Zhi approached and quipped: "Qiang Zihua, aren't you fighting to be a striker and go to the aid of the grain team?" ”

Qiang Hua turned his head and glared at him: "Fu Guo Helmet, shouldn't you be guarding the county lieutenant?" ”

Fu Zhidao: "The county lieutenant is far behind, commanding the main force, and ordering me to pursue Hu Qi together, what about the head of Yiqu?" ”

"I've already chased to the front."

Qiang Hua pointed forward, Fu Zhi could see the end of the salt flat, on the wasteland, there were two smoke and dust, that was the Huns who were chasing and escaping from the encirclement, and there were two thousand soldiers brought by Gong Ao and others behind.

They also saw more horses ahead of them that had lost their owners and were running around on the salt flats, and that there were also Huns who had lost their mounts rolling on the ground like fish trapped on the salt flats.

The Yanyan, who had been holding back for days in the city as they watched their fellow people being wantonly plundered and killed by the Huns, were angrily retaliating, killing all the Huns they saw, and only a few of the outflanking soldiers who were outflanked by them were taken prisoners and tied up......

Half an hour later, when the chariot of the county lieutenant Heifu arrived here, the white wolf of Yiqu also sent the waiting horse back to report: "The commander of Yiqu and others failed to catch up with the commander of the Huns, so they only forced him not to dare to return to the camp and continued to flee to the west......"

Heifu did not blame them: "The Huns have been resting and preparing for a long time, and you have traveled ten miles to the south and more than ten miles to the north, although the horses have been changed once, they are also weak, and it is normal that they cannot catch up." ”

This encirclement belongs to the strategy of the general plan, the temporary decision, the temporarily selected location, so he did not expect to be completely annihilated, and when he asked about the results, the infantry and cavalry killed more than 700 Huns, captured 100 people, and captured hundreds of horses, which is already a good result.

What's more, the Huns did not dare to return to their camp more than ten miles away, and those in the camp who plundered a large number of people, cattle and sheep from the vicinity of Huamachi naturally became the spoils of the Qin army.

"This battle is the first battle in the Outer Frontier, and the Huns fled in embarrassment, losing nearly 1,000 soldiers, which is enough to strengthen the prestige of our Qin army."

Then the translator asked the captured Xiongnu prisoners, only to learn that there were two commanders of the Huns, one was the right big household, and the other was the right Gudu Hou, who fled with the main force of the Huns, and the Gudu Hou who took 2,000 horsemen to the south.

Wu Shiyan said on the side: "County Captain, it took nearly an hour to pursue the Huns, I thought that the two thousand Huns would come back to help, but there was no trace of them, could it be that they really robbed our army food team?" ”

The ox cart and horse team of the rear army to transport grain were mainly provided by their families, and Wu Shiyan was inevitably concerned.

Heifu bowed his head and gave the follow-up battle order.

"A thousand people went to pick up the generals such as Yiqu and Gongao, and brought the population of the Xiongnu camp back to Huamachi City. There are 4,000 people left, and they will go south with this captain to help the county captain of Gongsun! ”

Fu Zhi and Qiang Hua both asked for orders as the forward heel army, opening the way in front, and Heifu allowed it.

"The grain team may be dozens of miles away in the south, and now an hour has passed, and at this moment, it is also in the midst of a fierce battle with the Huns?" Before leaving, Fu Zhi said in a low voice.

"I don't know if Gan Chong can hold on to them."

Qiang Hua was also very worried, 2,000 cavalry attacked the grain team escorted by 2,000 soldiers, no matter how he thought about it, it would be more than lucky.

After Heifu's words and deeds, they also realized the importance of baggage to the army in the later period, if the grain team was intercepted and killed, and all the grain was burned, then this battle was still the Qin army's losses were greater......

They could only comfort themselves like this: "The county lieutenant of Gongsun is also a battle-hardened general, and he has fought with the cavalry of Zhao State and Hu Rong outside the Saiwai. Generally speaking, the waiting sentry can release twenty miles, but he has to release thirty miles, the Huns are still far away in the sky, he knows their traces, should be able to prepare for the enemy! ”

"Who told you that the grain team was only escorted by two thousand soldiers?"

At this time, a voice came from behind him, but it was Wang Wei, who was the first to serve as a personal guard after Heifu came to be the lieutenant of Beidi County.

Wang Wei is also a good family, but he is older and has been with Heifu for a longer time, so he has more access to some confidential matters than Fu and Qiang. Fu Zhi also saw in the morning that the county lieutenant had summoned Yiqu White Wolf, Wu Shiyan and Wang Wei alone to give advice, and when he left with a serious face, he also bumped into himself.

"More than two thousand, could it be that there are other people?" Fu Zhi and Qiang Hua saw another glimmer of hope.

"The Northland County can't draw more soldiers, but the Upper County is different, you know, Your Majesty is supervising the war in Gaonu, and he also ordered the Upper County to send troops to aid the Northland."

Seeing that the two of them still didn't know why, Wang Wei laughed twice, and didn't directly pick out the reason, but said: "Besides, the things carried by those ox carts this time are enough for the Huns who went to attack to have a long experience!" ”
