Chapter 165: Golden Fire Cavalry VS Wolf Clan Rangers
The days are slowly passing, the power of Qin in the Central Plains has further expanded, and the rebel forces of the six countries of Shandong have been gradually eliminated, but they are not completely destroyed, but transferred from the ground to the ground, such a change is even more terrifying, I don't know when there will be a wave that will sweep the entire Qin State.

In Songhai, on the coastal shore of Qi State, the construction of the mirage has been completed, and although Qin's attack on Baiyue has failed several times and added many reinforcements, it is finally in the autumn of this year under the leadership of the main general Zhao Tuo that the entire Baiyue territory is included in the sphere of influence of Qin, and the territory of the entire Qin State is infinitely expanded, but this is destined to be an eventful autumn.
Dongjun is not as rich as it seems on the surface, except for this part of the county town, there are often corpses everywhere outside the county town, and even the sale of children and daughters is not uncommon, there is not enough food to feed them, if the weather is dry and there is no harvest, then more people will die.
Chu Nan is dressed in armor, and behind him is a cavalry patrol force of more than 100 people, and now the total strength of Dongjun has reached the scale of tens of thousands of people, which is not counting the soldiers of each county, but these tens of thousands of people can be regarded as elite, but only a thousand people, because they are often harassed by the Hu tribe in the north near the north, there will be special patrol scouts patrolling this area every day to prevent the Hu tribe's rangers from attacking and harassing, these wolf cavalry no one will be equipped with at least two horses on the grassland, and their archery skills are superb, After plundering a place, they will never stay for a long time, but will immediately flee away, and by the time the Qin army has gathered its troops, these wolf cavalry have long disappeared without a trace.
A little farther away, a scout of the Qin army rode up.
"Your Excellency has found the cavalry of the wolf clan ahead."
"Cavalry of the wolf clan."
"Keep up." Chu Nan said as he led the pioneer horse to catch up.
The Great Wall in the north is still under construction, the old Great Wall connecting Zhao and Yan, due to the slow progress and there are still many places that have been vacated, which also gives the northern wolf clan an opportunity, every time there is a small force of wolf cavalry across the Great Wall that is still under construction and attacks on the counties next to each other, these wolf cavalry are extremely fast, although the counties have losses, but the consumption of the gathered troops is too large after all, so the counties are mainly to pacify, or move the people next to the Great Wall of Yan and Zhao to deeper places.
Countless horses' hooves are running on the ground, the terrain near the north is gradually flattening, occasionally there are some ups and downs of small mountains and forests, the field of vision is generally quite open, after turning over a hill, you can see the village in the distance, the billowing smoke rises from the village, Chu Nan has a bad feeling.
There are already a lot of old people in the neighboring villages, they are in tatters, some people still have weapons in their hands, the Qin State issued an iron restriction order, but it is not very effective in the area close to the frontier, there are thieves here all the year round, and occasionally there are wolves going south, almost every village has more or less weapons to defend themselves, and the officers and generals from all over the frontier will also turn a blind eye, after all, when the war situation is urgent, the young and middle-aged laborers in these villages will also become a member of the resistance to the wolf clan.
Some of them still had blood stains on their bodies, and it was clear that some of the wolf horses had been left behind after a fierce fight.
"Quick, Cui'er and her mother have been taken away by these wolf clans."
Someone stepped forward and said loudly, completely ignoring the injuries on their hands, there were still some people in the village, and the food was also taken away.
"Old man, you slowly tell which direction they are going." Chu Nan asked calmly.
"North, to the north."
The old man pointed in the direction of the north.
"Chase." Chu Nan ordered.
"Wait a minute."
At this moment, a man in a cloth shirt and a firewood knife in his hand stopped his way.
"What do you want to do?" Chu Nan said.
"I'm familiar with the terrain in this area, and I think you might need a guide."
Chu Nan thought for a moment before asking, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
The man nodded.
"Give him a horse."
Someone took a horse and handed the reins to the man's hand, and the man turned over and got on the horse with a sharp motion.
Time did not wait for a cavalry team of more than 100 people to advance towards the north, Chu Nan asked this temporary guide and then knew that the number of the other party was only 100 people, and after walking for about half a moment, these people with women and food must not be able to run fast.
About half of the disappeared ride, Chu Nan and the others could even see the smoke and dust rising in the distance, they were already quietly behind those wolf clan cavalry, with their speed, they would be able to catch up with them in another half a quarter, maybe they didn't need to chase, the hunter and the prey would often transform in an instant, Chu Nan fully understood the meaning of this word at this time.
The wolf cavalry in the distance had already discovered the tail behind them, but to Chu Nan's surprise, instead of speeding away, they slowly stopped, they put down the food and women on the horse, and lined up quietly, waving the sabre in their hands to shine brightly in the sunlight, these wolf people all wore thick felt hats on their heads and carried hard bows on their bodies.
Chu Nan looked at the wolf clan cavalry in the distance, it seems that these wolf clan people are good at handling soft persimmons, but this will save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Attack in formation." Chu Nan ordered.
The cavalry behind him slowly adjusted their formation, like a sharp arrow, and the sun above the sky dragged the men and horses on both sides out of a long oblique shadow, and white clouds fluttered overhead.
At a certain moment, the two sides moved at the same time, the sound of horses' hooves changed from slow to urgent, and finally to charge, and countless horses' hooves resounded through this world like a dense drumbeat.
Before they could get in touch, the wolf cavalry took out their longbow from behind them, and the raindrops of bows and arrows shot at the formation of Chu Nan and others, the golden fire cavalry raised the shield in their hands, although the cavalry of the wolf clan slowed down well, but in the face of these empire's most elite cavalry, they were helpless, occasionally the golden fire cavalry who fell to the ground with an arrow, the cavalry counterattacked, and in general, the instantaneous time on Chu Nan's side was even smaller.
These cavalry of the wolf clan are almost invincible on the grassland with their long knives and bows and arrows, but at this time, they encounter the golden fire cavalry, and the cavalry with both offense and defense is the biggest nightmare for them.
According to Chu Nan's division, these cavalry are in a group of three and five in a pair, which is extremely orderly, these cavalry of the wolf clan are gradually divided and surrounded, and they finally realize something, but it is too late to be quickly dispersed by the golden fire cavalry before they can react.
