Chapter 210: Annihilate the Hun Iron Cavalry that sneaked up
The Baideng battlefield was very lively, and the gunfire came and went, and it became a training ground for the recruits of the Qin army. Under the care of veterans, the recruits grew rapidly, and after a few days, all the recruits transformed into qualified Imperial soldiers.
The most striking thing on the battlefield is the 30,000 rear-loading rifles that Ye Tong brought out from Dingjun Mountain, which is definitely a killing weapon, efficient, accurate, and fast.
In addition, the Hun iron cavalry charge formation was dense, which made the hit rate of the rear-loading rifle soar, and it was basically a one-shot solution to a Huns.
When a cold weapon meets a hot weapon, it is definitely crushed and pushed horizontally.
The infantry of the Qin army has been fully reloaded, no longer using bows and arrows, only a small part of the bows and arrows are left as backups, and the main battle weapons have been replaced with front-loading flintlock pistols, which are more powerful than bows and arrows.
If nothing else, the physical strength consumed by the soldiers alone is greatly reduced. The archers consume too much physical strength, and the soldiers can only shoot more than ten or twenty arrows in a row, so they must be replaced.
Muskets are different, they have very little physical exertion and can fight for a long time. There is an advantage in range, and the bows and arrows in the hands of the Huns basically do not play a role.
After a few days of fierce fighting, the iron cavalry under Maodun left tens of thousands of corpses, which could not pose a major threat to the Qin army. To put it bluntly, it is to be beaten.
Mao Dun didn't look good, there were millions of iron horses in his hands, the problem was that the consumption was also very large, tens of thousands of people hung up every day, how many days was enough for the consumption of millions of iron horses!
Mao Dun ordered the army to stop the offensive and adopt the strategy of encircling but not annihilating, wanting to consume the Qin army alive.
Mao Dun believed that the Qin army should not carry much grain and grass, and the supply channel was cut off, and once the Qin army ran out of food, it was then the opportunity to attack.
Seeing that the Xiongnu did not attack, Ye Tong smiled darkly, knowing that Mao Dun wanted to besiege the Qin army and wait for the Qin army to run out of food and grass before making a move.
Ye Tong did nothing, all the recruits under his command were transformed, and if there was a fierce battle, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army would rise by several grades.
The Huns did not attack, and Hua Mulan, the commander of the Qin army's campaign, arranged for manpower to be on duty and monitor every move of the Huns, and the rest of the soldiers rested.
A surprising scene appeared, the Baideng battlefield was suspended, the Qin army ignored the Huns who were surrounded outside, and the Huns no longer attacked the Qin army, and the two sides cooperated tacitly, forming a state of battlefield confrontation.
"Ergou, after doing a few Tartars, I will have a few more battles, and the accumulation of military merits should reach the level of destroying 100 people, and you can get the third-level Warrior Medal." A veteran asks the recruits around him.
"Brother Dazhu, only three people were overturned, the Huns didn't attack, and there was no way to accumulate military merits!"
Hehe!
"Ergou, don't worry, in the past few years, brother, I have participated in countless battles and accumulated military merits, do you think it is easy to get the Warrior Medal! That's the highest honor for a soldier, you know? ”
On the battlefield of Baideng, the resting Qin soldiers talked about their exploits the most, and asked how many Huns they had overturned. There is no way, the Qin army counts merit by head, and only by killing 100 enemies can you get the third-class Warrior Medal, and if you kill 1,000 enemies, you can get the second-class Warrior Medal.
Once you receive the Warrior Medal, you will directly enter the Council of Elders and become a member of the Council of Veterans, not only enjoying superior treatment, but also many privileges.
In the past few years, less than 50 people have received the Medal of Bravery, only a few Medal of Warrior of the Second Degree have been issued, and no one has received the Medal of Warrior of the First Degree.
There are many other medals, and there are them every time they fight, and what battle medals they have, they are all there for those who participate. In the Qin army, if some soldiers hang the medals they have obtained on their chests, it is estimated that their chests are not enough.
There are relatively many people who have received the Yanhuang Medal, whether it is the military or the cabinet.
The Order of the Empire is even more difficult to obtain, and no one has earned it so far. Only Ye Tong met the conditions for obtaining it, but Ye Tong did not ask for a medal.
-----------------
Yumen Pass:
The two sides of the Baideng battlefield were in a state of confrontation, and the Yumen entered the climax of attack and defense, the battle was extremely tragic, the Huns were not afraid of life and death, and they were not afraid of casualties.
Fan Zeng led 50,000 Qin soldiers to Yumen Pass for reinforcements, and worked out a plan with Jiang Song, Xiao Hanxin and others to annihilate the Hun iron cavalry across the desert.
Based on the protection of the Yumenguan Heavy Industrial Park, the plan is to carry out a carpet search of the surrounding areas of the desert.
The area around Yumen Pass is large and wide, and there are only 20,000 turquoise cavalry on Yumen Pass, and the rest are infantry, so it is impossible to cover the entire desert border area.
In response to this situation, Fan Zeng suggested that 10,000 cavalry search the periphery of the heavy industry area, and let Xiao Hanxin lead 10,000 cavalry to search the desert border.
Xiao Hanxin was promoted very quickly, and after many times he led the cavalry into the territory of the Huns in the west to fight the autumn wind and hunt, he was promoted from the original regiment commander to the division commander, which is the fastest promotion among the locals.
Xiao Han Xin led 10,000 cavalry to the desert border area, divided the 10,000 cavalry into 20 detachments, each detachment brought the letter eagle, as long as the trace of the Xiongnu iron cavalry was found, immediately use the letter eagle to transmit the news.
Not to mention, the characters of Niu Fork really have a different way of thinking, and the hunting place chosen by Xiao Hanxin is a place near a water source, and the other is a place where there are people.
Tens of thousands of Huns rode through the desert, and there were not many who could successfully come out alive, and even if they came out alive, their physical and mental strength would definitely be extremely consumed, and they urgently needed supplies.
More than ten days later, Han Xin really guessed that a team of Qin troops suddenly rode in a water source place, found that there were horseshoe prints, and immediately searched along the horseshoe prints, and a few hours later, found thousands of Hun iron horsemen.
The Qin army only had 200 cavalry, and it was basically impossible to take down thousands of Xiongnu iron cavalry. Even if the Hun iron cavalry is exhausted, it does not mean that 200 assault cavalry can be completely annihilated.
The commander of the squad did not have the slightest greed, and immediately used the letter eagle to pass on the information, while his 200 assault cavalry hid and secretly monitored the every move of the Hun iron cavalry to prevent it from escaping from the eye.
Xiao Hanxin, who received the news, was really excited, searched for more than ten days, and finally had a goal. Xiao Hanxin did not hesitate, and immediately issued an order for all the detachments to quickly gather at the designated place.
A few hours later, 10,000 horsemen had gathered, but only the watchdog had not arrived, and the rest had arrived. Xiao Hanxin led 10,000 cavalry to the designated position.
When the Turks heard that they had found their target, they were excited. The soldiers of the Qin army were rewarded with combat merits, and everyone knew that the Hun iron cavalry that crossed the desert did not have much combat effectiveness, and they could be annihilated in one fell swoop, which was a military merit!
It is best to be captured alive, and the military merit value is even higher. There is no way, the Qin Empire lacks labor, and when Ye Tong formulated his military merits, he specifically proposed that the military merit value of capturing prisoners alive was twice that of killing the enemy.
Ye Tong's meaning is obvious, killing the enemy, just eliminating hidden dangers, capturing the enemy alive and throwing them into the civilized school, the enemy can create value, and squeeze out the value of the enemy, is the best choice, can the military merit value be treated the same?
It was precisely because of such regulations that the result was that the soldiers of the Qin army generally did not kill prisoners, but wished they could capture a few more prisoners alive?
According to Ye Tong, the empire is too short of labor, there are too many roads to be built, too many water conservancy projects to be started, too many public welfare buildings to be built, and too many mines to be excavated by strong labor.
After several years of foreign wars, the Qin Empire built many civilized schools, with millions of students, all of whom were strong laborers, and were the main construction army of the Qin Empire.
It was with the students of the Civilization School that the Qin Empire built countless roads, water conservancy facilities, and mined countless minerals in the past few years, but did not use the people of the Qin Empire, did not increase the burden on the people, and did not impose taxes and the like.
Don't blame Ye Tong for being cruel and ruthless, don't blame the Qin Empire for being cruel, the rise and revival of any empire is accompanied by the smell of blood.
Take a look, the Roman Empire, the Rest Empire, the Niu Niu Empire, and the Eagle Sauce Empire, who does not speak with the sabre and cannon in their hands, everything speaks with the saber and cannon in the hands of the soldiers, and the truth is within the range of the bow and arrow, not empty words, but facts.
Hehe!
Far from that, back to the point.
Xiao Han Xin led 10,000 cavalry after a long journey, and three days later joined the team that discovered the ruins of the Xiongnu. Under the narration of the team, Xiao Hanxin learned that there were nearly 6,000 Xiongnu iron horsemen who crossed the desert, and due to the heavy supply losses in the process of crossing the desert.
After a few days, 6,000 remnants of the Huns who had crossed the desert had been looking for supplies, but the problem was that there were no people in this area, and they were so hungry that the Huns began to kill the horses.
However, the Huns carried many war horses, basically one person and three horses, and lost some horses in the process of crossing the desert, but there were still surplus war horses, which really solved a big problem for the Huns.
Xiao Han led 10,000 cavalry to run for three days, and the physical strength of the soldiers was also extremely consumed. For this reason, Xiao Hanxin did not attack at the first time, but let his soldiers rest, and sent people to monitor the Huns, as long as they did not escape from sight.
After a day's rest, the 10,000 Turk knights recovered their physical strength, and their spirits were full of energy and fighting spirit. At this time, Xiao Hanxin gave the order to attack.
10,000 Qin army cavalry, that is definitely the elite of the elite, after the baptism of countless battles in the past few years, it is already an elite soldier in a hundred battles, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.
In fact, Jiang Song has been leading the Turks into the territory of the Huns to hunt and fight the autumn wind for several years, and he is a very happy person in the Qin army. The experience points are constantly exploding, and the combat exploits are increasing, which is the envy of the generals of the Qin army.
For this reason, the most depressed is Zhang Han, originally the Yumen guard will be Zhang Han, Zhang Han has a knot in his heart, and wants to take revenge, so it is Jiang Song's turn to replace Zhang Han.
The six thousand Hun iron horsemen who crossed the desert were resting to replenish their physical exertion. Suddenly, the earth shook, like an eight-magnitude earthquake, and the huge tremor terrified the resting Hun iron horsemen.
The steppe peoples, who knew too well about this situation, knew that a large number of cavalry were coming. The resting Huns immediately got up and looked for war horses and weapons.
There was no way, the Huns who were resting did not expect their whereabouts to be exposed at all, thinking that they were hiding well, and the Qin army did not find out.
In fact, it was a psychological problem of the Huns, thinking that the tactics and plans of crossing the desert could not be guessed by the Qin army, so that they were careless in Jingzhou.
The Qin army came too suddenly, so that the resting Huns couldn't react at all, and they didn't even have time to look for war horses and weapons, so they saw the Qin cavalry kill in front of them, and with a wave of the saber, the Huns fell and went directly to see Changshengtian.
