Chapter 69: The decisive battle against the Xiongnu

Ye Tong led nearly 50,000 elite divisions to sweep and crush the fake Xiongnu region and expel the Xiongnu forces. This was an asymmetrical battle, and the fake Xiongnu rebelled against the people of the Xiongnu, and the effect was extremely poor, and they could not stop the advance of Ye Tong's army.

It's not so much a war, it's more about brushing up experience points for Ye Tong's generals. When he set out on the expedition, the famous Zhang Han had very little experience points, and he was only the head of the regiment, and Zhou Bo was even weaker, and he was at the battalion level. It's all stipulated by the system, and Ye Tong can't do it, so he can only let the two of them keep brushing up on experience points.

After experiencing countless baptisms of low-concentration war, the recruit eggs grew up quickly, and it didn't take long for them to become elite soldiers in a hundred battles. In addition, the weapons and equipment in hand are excellent, and the casualties in the battle are extremely low. Whether it is a general or a soldier, the experience points have skyrocketed.

After a month of non-stop fighting, Zhang Han's experience points reached the brigade commander and he was successfully promoted; Zhou Bo was promoted to regiment commander, and other soldiers under him were promoted one after another. Especially for soldiers produced by the system, once they have experience points, they can be promoted very quickly.

Several soldiers who had participated in many battles such as Wuguan, Qingni Pass, Qinguan, and Sanguan, after the battles in the fake Xiongnu area, several were already regiment commanders and brigade commanders, and one named Chen Fei.

Just as Ye Tong was inspecting the promotion of his soldiers, Bai Lixin ran in and reported: "Lord, the Hun iron cavalry has a tendency to gather. ”

Oh!

"Bailixin! Was it purely fake Huns, or were there Huns involved? ”

"My lord, Gu Scout (Tanma) reported that 100 kilometers to the northwest, there are about 30,000 Hun iron cavalry, fake Hun cavalry as high as 150,000, a total of 180,000 cavalry, is preparing to pounce on us, wanting to destroy us in one fell swoop."

Ye Tong immediately walked to the sand table, and after taking a closer look, he was amazed! The Huns are not slow! The Qin army had only been in Qiang for less than a month, and immediately sent 30,000 iron horsemen to come. I really want to destroy the Qin soldiers who entered the Qiang Land.

Hehe!

"Inform the soldiers who are sweeping around to return quickly, and we will have a head-on battle with the Huns. In one fell swoop, he destroyed 30,000 iron horsemen of the Huns, and by the way, completely solved the problem of the fake Huns. ”

"Yes!"

After the military brocade guards agreed, they immediately took action.

Bai Lixin asked worriedly: "Lord, the other party has 180,000 cavalry, and we only have more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, is it feasible to fight head-on, or let's look for it and see where to ambush the other party first, and then consider the decisive battle." ”

Ye Tong knew what Bai Lixin was thinking, the problem was that it was difficult to set up an ambush after entering the fake Huns for so long. After all, on other people's territory, the geographical environment is more familiar to the fake Huns, and it is not easy to ambush.

"Bai Lixin, on the surface, the other party's 180,000 cavalry, in fact, the real combat effectiveness is only the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Huns, the fake Hun cavalry is not terrible, the weapons and equipment are not good, it is difficult to pose a threat to us, don't worry too much."

"Lord, Gu said, the fake Hun cavalry is also not simple, it is a combination of many fake Hun tribes, and thirty percent of them are the personal guards of the tribal leaders, and the weapons in their hands are not bad, especially skilled in arches and horses, and they are the best at field warfare."

Hehe!

"Don't worry! What if the other party is all elite divisions? After a month of actual combat training, our soldiers of the Qin army have transformed into veterans of a hundred battles, and with the weapons with superior performance in their hands, there is nothing that cannot be fought in a decisive battle. Forgotten? We still have a thousand heavy cavalry, and that's the most powerful cavalry. ”

"Okay!"

After receiving the order to return, Ye Tong's soldiers returned as soon as possible, waiting for the arrival of the decisive battle with the Xiongnu.

When the merchant heard that 180,000 Hun cavalry were coming, his face turned pale with fright, if he hadn't seen Ye Tong still calmly handling affairs, maybe the merchant would have flashed early.

Ye Tong didn't choose another decisive battle site, and placed it thousands of meters away in front of the army camp. It is an endless grassland, and it is the best place for the decisive battle. The large battalion was stationed behind, and there was no frontal attack on the Qin army, so don't want to sneak attack the camp.

In a few days, Ye Tong asked the logistics support army to build a red deer. This kind of red deer is different from the traditional red deer, it is a triangular red deer, which is smaller than the traditional red deer on the surface and is easier to collide. In fact, that is absolutely deceitful, fools understand that the triangle is the most stable, and if you want to rely on cavalry to charge, you will have to pay a heavy price.

Zhang Han, who returned with the soldiers and horses, saw the new red deer, and asked puzzledly: "Lord, is this game useful?" ”

Burst!

Ye Tong was depressed, glared at Zhang Han fiercely, and said, "If you have the ability, you can bump it yourself and take a look." ”

Zhang Han didn't move, and Zhou Bo, who was skeptical next to him, walked up and hit the new red deer with his body.

Bang!

With a bang, the red deer is fine, it's there. Zhou Bo was pushed to the ground by the reaction force of the red deer, rubbed his buttocks with his hands, stood up, and said in confusion: "Lord, why?" It looks fragile, but it's quite strong when it hits. ”

Ye Tong is speechless and ignorant!

"It's called a triangle, it's an equilateral triangle, it's the most stable shape. It's much more stable than the original four-legged or five-legged red deer. Moreover, the processing is convenient, simple and trouble-free. ”

Next, Zhang Han and Zhou Bo commanded the soldiers to chop wood, and let the logistics support department be responsible for processing the triangular red deer.

Ye Tong thought that the Hun Iron Cavalry should be killed in three days, and this wait was five days. However, to the surprise of Ye Tong and others, the Hun iron cavalry was not 30,000, but 50,000, and the fake Hun cavalry was not 150,000, but nearly 200,000, and the opponent's strength reached 250,000 all of a sudden.

In the face of 250,000 cavalry, Ye Tong was under great pressure. Ya, there are 100,000 more soldiers and horses than a few days ago, and if you wait for a while, it doesn't mean that there will be more.

Bai Lixin shook his head and said: "Lord, the number of enemy troops is huge, this battle is not easy to fight!" ”

Seeing the heavy face of his general, Ye Tong laughed. Then he said categorically: "There are only 250,000 ants, what are you afraid of?" The soldiers of the Great Qin Empire only died standing and did not have the habit of retreating. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we have to break through. ”

Long live Great Qin!

Long live the Empire!

Long live the General!

Ye Tong's words made the generals and soldiers present extremely excited, and the battle spirit on his body immediately soared. Next, arrange the battle plan, Bai Lixin led 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp, plus the escort of the merchants, the number of people also reached tens of thousands, and it should be no problem to guard the camp.

Zhou Bo commanded the infantry to fight, Zhang Han commanded the cavalry to fight, and the heavy cavalry was led by Chen Fei and delivered the final blow at the critical moment.

On the day of the decisive battle, after Ye Tong's soldiers got up, they ate as soon as possible to fill their stomachs. Then the whole army set off and arrived at the decisive battle site, and at the forefront was more than 200 crossbow cars that had been improved by Gongyi Hill and placed in the forefront, and the crossbow workshops were linked to each other to form an overall defensive position.

Behind the ballista were five thousand pikemen, five thousand shieldmen, and then five thousand archers. The second test of the battle formation was 30,000 turf cavalry, and at the end there were 1,000 heavy cavalry, which was the strength of the final blow. There were also 2,000 hussars roaming around.

As soon as the army led by Ye Tong was set up in battle, the Huns came and killed them with 250,000 cavalry. Seeing that there were countless rejecting red deer in the second test of the Qin army's battle array, if they wanted to enter the grid from the second test, the casualties must be huge, and they could only attack from the front.

The number of red deer on the front is limited, not because Ye Tong has a good conscience, but because the red deer is placed too much, which affects the shooting of archers. The red deer can only be placed within the range of the archers, and if it is exceeded, it is useless and completely wasteful. Ye Tong's purpose was to use the horse rejecting deer to drag the speed of the opponent's cavalry, and then let the archers solve it with bows and arrows.

Ye Tong has always attached great importance to archers, which are long-range attack weapons in the era of cold weapons. You don't need to fight closely, long-range bows and arrows can solve the battle, why not let the soldiers fight in close quarters.

The commander of the Huns led the troops looked at the battle formation of the Qin Empire, and there was a slight eerie smile on the corner of his mouth. In the eyes of the Hun commander, the small horse rejecting deer in front of the battle formation was too weak to stop the cavalry from charging at all. After all, the rejuvenating deer placed in front of the Qin army's battle array looked really small and exquisite, much smaller than the Xiongnu's impression of rejecting Maheng.

Ye Tong was holding a pair of high-performance binoculars in his hand, and when he was watching how the Huns were preparing to attack, about 10,000 fake Hun cavalry appeared in the telescope, galloping towards the battle array.

After Ye Tong saw it, he sighed, the Huns are cunning! It is obvious that the fake Huns are used as guns. In the face of such a stern battle formation, the attack will definitely hit the head and bleed.

In front of the Qin army's battle array, the lookout loudly reported the distance between the enemy's cavalry and the battle array: 800 meters, 700 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters.

When the lookout reported 300 meters, the commander who commanded the ballista immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Release!" ”

Whoosh!

More than 200 stout arrows shot at the galloping fake Hun cavalry like lightning, and bang! Bang! Bang! The stout and sharp crossbow arrows pierced the body of the fake Hun cavalry, and some of the crossbow arrows continued to penetrate the second and third cavalry.

In an instant, the fake Hun cavalry in the gallop fell off their horses one after another, and the speed of their advance was relieved to a certain extent. The cavalry formation was chaotic, the people in the queue turned on their backs, and many fake Hun cavalry fell off their horses. Even if you are not shot by a crossbow arrow, once you fall off your horse, you will be trampled into a pulp by the cavalry behind.

"Free Fire!"

The ballista commander saw that the first wave had a good effect, the fake Hun cavalry was in a dense formation, and there was no need to take a salvo at all, so that the ballista could play freely, and the effect was better.

Whoosh!

In fact, the ballista did not shoot many people, but the means and power were too ferocious, which directly shocked the hearts of the fake Hun cavalry. The fake Hun cavalry in front hesitated, and the cavalry behind did not know! continued to shoot the horses and kill them, and this time, the fake Hun cavalry on the entire battlefield collided with each other.

Confusion! Very confusing!

The problem was that the soldiers of the Qin army did not have the habit of stopping, and the ballista continued to shoot. The false Hun cavalry collided together, and the dense cavalry even had difficulty turning around.

In such a situation, the crossbow soldiers are even more morale-high, desperately loading arrows, pulling, shooting, and repeating, the crossbowmen use all the strength in their bodies, desperately speeding up the speed of placing crossbow arrows, the purpose is to kill more enemies. Every time you shoot a person, you have merit and experience points, which means promotion, who doesn't work hard!
