Chapter 18: Annihilation
In the plains and wilderness, the Huns' iron cavalry quickly dispersed, completely unfolded the formation, and occupied a favorable situation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Qin army met the battle in a group.
The Dead Battalion and the Strong Crossbow Battalion are on the left, and the Light Battalion and the Iron Halberd Battalion are on the right.
A team of 1,000 people, led by the captain; In a group of five, the chief is modest.
The two armies, which were not the same in terms of combat methods or living customs, did not have the slightest softness and compromise after engaging the enemy.
For the Xiongnu, the iron cavalry was vertical and horizontal, and it was impossible not to take these Qin people who didn't even have horses in their eyes.
But the one-sided slaughter that had been expected was not shown at all.
Almost every Hun cavalry will become extremely difficult to take a step forward, and when they ride a horse, they will encounter the siege of the Qin people who are not afraid of death.
Even if they were two thousand more than the other.
In the melee, the numerical advantage seems to have become less obvious.
The morale of the headquarters is like a rainbow, and the other side is fighting against the water, one side swears to defend the glory, and the other side is not afraid of sacrifice at all.
Within a team, they went forward and fought one after another, huddled together, not afraid of the cold light of the dazzling sword, and rushed up against the sharp scimitars, and the orderly combat units were reasonably spaced and supported each other, which was solid.
Fighting on foot and in the wilderness has always been a paradise for cavalry, but the truth is ......
With effective division and charge, mixed operations with large groups and small groups, and the courageous and courageous fighting spirit of the army, the Qin people gradually disintegrated the Xiongnu's strategy of charging and killing with iron cavalry and galloping across the country.
However, it can only be a delaying tactic.
After the division is delayed, the remaining individual combat still relies on the personal physique and will of the foot soldiers.
In this regard, the nomadic fishing and hunting, horseback Huns, obviously have superior skills.
Horsemanship, archery, and martial arts have always been survival skills that are difficult for the steppe barbarians to maintain.
If the Central Plains warriors fought for the sake of fighting, for the Xiongnu, it was undoubtedly for survival.
It is obviously much easier and faster to make profits by going south to plunder the necessities of life such as grain, treasures, and cloth than living on water and grass every year.
Therefore, although the tactics of the Qin army were reasonable and the initial results were achieved, they only appropriately reduced the charging speed of the Hun cavalry, kept the balance on horseback, and the scimitar chopping was not soft at all.
With tenacious fighting perseverance, the Qin people fought against these powerful cavalry, fought and slashed, and were evenly divided for a while.
Halberd, short sword, scimitar, spear.
The number of soldiers on both sides has been rapidly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye since the close encounter......
The commander of the Qin army rode his horse all the way, slashing left and right with the sword in his hand until it was drenched in blood.
From beginning to end, his whole body was stained with the blood of barbarians, and beads of sweat and blood blended and dripped down, cutting across his angular cheeks, staining the delicate black fish scale armor red.
The corners of the lord's mouth were grinning, and his face was very cold, not at all human.
With a big move, several guards behind him scattered and killed, and the cloak behind him was also a big display of sand and fierce wind.
With a loud shout, the war horse under the crotch of the Hun Baichang, who was ten steps away in front, couldn't help but be frightened, and he stopped his hooves again and again.
"Woo...... Appeal ......"
The Huns on the opposite side tried their best, but they still couldn't push the war horse to take a step forward.
Making a fool of yourself before the battle is undoubtedly a taboo for soldiers.
Kui Jun knew that as long as they could defeat these forward Hun cavalry, they would be able to get a little respite, and the arrival of reinforcements would only be a matter of moments.
According to the time, the scouts sent out should also arrive in the Beacon Border City, or even the Jiuyuan Prefecture.
As long as General Meng Tian sent troops to help, the main army arrived, and the iron cavalry, material officers, and chariot formations were deployed, waiting for this group of lonely Hun cavalry to go deep would only be the fate of destruction.
At that time, the balance completely tilted to the side of Daqin, and after the battle, the northern border troubles were alleviated, the barbarians suffered all the casualties, and they fled to the desert, and they could return to their hometowns and their hometowns with honor.
Although, he doesn't have a home......
The mind was decided, and the victory scene of the triumphant singing seemed to appear in the mind of the main general, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes seemed to have become blurred.
So far, the only problem that has plagued the Lord is:
How did this group of Huns cross the Great Wall in the north, hide people's eyes and ears, and even blind the general, and go straight to the bank of the Yellow River?
Also, what exactly is their purpose?
When Kui Jun thought of this, his heart was like a mess, and he fell into hard thinking, unable to extricate himself.
Seeing this, the Huns Baichang somehow, but still planned to take a risk.
Judging from the previous battles, this good-looking officer of the Qin Army obviously has a high rank.
Take him down and get rewards and glory!
The Hun Baichang's eyes froze, and the corners of his mouth oozed a sneer, as if he had a chance to win.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the oblique thorn, whirring wind, and the sixth sense of years of war prompted him to subconsciously raise his head and hide in a hurry.
However, in a breath, a bright halberd broke through the air and stabbed straight at the door, shocking his hair all over his body to stand on end, his pupils contracted sharply, and he squeezed out a cold sweat.
If it weren't for the timely raising of his head, the Hun Baichang estimated that the final fate would only be the head of the man.
Kan Kan avoided the full force of the halberd's ambition, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief, the bright halberd thorn was undiminished, but it was a big spin that dropped the blade, accurately slashed through the slender neck, destroyed all the way, and slashed hard!
"Wow ......"
A round head rose into the sky, blood splashed everywhere, and he was nowhere to be found.
Bai Chang, don't blink your eyes when you die......
"Smack!"
It wasn't until this drop of hot blood splashed on his face that there was a burst of itching that the main general gradually came back to his senses......
In an instant, but he was distracted for a moment, and he almost walked out of the ghost gate.
The main general suddenly broke into a cold sweat and felt a burst of fear.
Looking up, the brave soldier who assassinated the Hun Baichang, dressed in the uniform of the captain, had fallen into the siege of the Hun iron cavalry at this time, his hair was scattered, his whole body was scarred, and the blood was not stopping.
Seeing this, Kui Jun suddenly felt a wave of heat rushing from the dantian to his head, and the killing intent in his eyes was very strong.
However, it was too late......
"General...... Suddenly...... I can't get out suddenly......" The lieutenant grabbed the general's collar, his face twitched, and his muscles trembled, as if he was in great pain.
In front of his chest, a deep and bony knife cut was pulled from his left shoulder to his abdomen, the leather armor was shattered, the flesh was blurred, and Kan Kan squeezed out a few words from his wriggling throat, and he died of exhaustion.
"This battle ...... Worthy of the country's ......"
The Lord will have messy eyes, mouth wide open, and shake his head desperately, not knowing what to do.
Looking around, there are mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, the remnants of the cavalry are splitting armor, the figures fighting and fighting are gradually thinning out, rolling and hugging, and there are countless stumps and broken arms, whether it is the Hun iron cavalry or the Qin army's foot soldiers, they all have heavy casualties, and the degree of tragedy can be seen.
Witnessing the disappearance of soldiers one by one, the once vivid life has now turned into a pinch of loess and submerged into the grassland desert.
As the main general, leading an army, the sour and astringent taste during the process, the painful heart, it is difficult to express.
can only break teeth and swallow blood, silently remember, and make a note for them in the coming day.
"Ah!!h Kui Jun couldn't help but look up to the sky and cry bitterly, and the hot tears flowed down the trend, washed over the mottled bloodstains, and smashed into his feet.
The sea of blood is a deep hatred, and we don't share the sky!
Kui Jun stretched out his right hand, wiped the blood and tears from his face, turned over and got on his horse, ready to make a final fight.
Since 10,000 soldiers will inevitably die on the battlefield after all, how can they survive alone?
It's better to gallop across the country happily, kill a few more barbarians, and behead them to sacrifice the souls of the fallen soldiers in the sky.
The Great Qin army is undefeated, and the oath of loyalty and bravery, and the soul of courage has been passed down through generations......
Until this time, life and death seem to have become less important.
The main general turned over and got on his horse, just about to ride his horse and whip, but the army of the Hun headquarters on the opposite side suddenly heard a burst of horns, which was intermittent and long.
Those Hun iron horsemen who were originally fighting with the soldiers of the Qin army, when they heard the sound, their faces changed drastically, and they immediately turned their horses' heads, turned around and left, without entanglement with the Qin army behind them.
In just a few breaths, the remnants of the Hun cavalry on the battlefield disappeared, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves continued for a long time, stirring up bursts of dust.
"Huns...... ...... actually retired from the army? ”
The Lord's eyes were soothed and overjoyed, but there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.
"Hooray...... Banzai...... Hooray......"
Those soldiers of the Qin army who survived were all overjoyed, and under the command of the remaining military officials, they approached the place where the main general was......
The Lord will look back, and when he looks away, he can't help but exude a burst of sadness from the bottom of his heart.
Originally, there were still more than 4,000 remnants of the Qin army, but after the fierce battle, there were less than 800 people left......
The bones of more than 3,000 martyrs are scattered irregularly in an area on the ground, confirming the tragedy and grievances of the war.
Although the Qin army was brave and fearless and fearless of death, it was difficult to offset its disadvantage in terms of numbers and troops.
The death and wounding of 3,000 soldiers were only exchanged for the corpses of less than 2,000 Huns......
If the formation was complete, supplemented by arrows and helped by the spear battalion, this battle would not be so weak.
Pity......
Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes......
"Woo woo woo...... Woowoowoo......"
Before they had a chance to take a breather and recuperate, the remnants of the Qin army had just gathered, and before they had a chance to count, a long horn sounded again in the army of the Xiongnu headquarters.
Unlike before, after the sound of the trumpet, the sound of the drums was heard......
"All the soldiers obey my orders and prepare to fight!"
Kui Jun didn't dare to make a mistake, and he let out a loud shout, looking nervously at the barbarian army in the distance, breathing rapidly.
"Hey!"
Although it was not known what the conspiracy of the Huns had, they were prepared, and the remnants quickly assembled and reorganized their defensive formation.
Everyone clenched the remnants of the soldiers in their hands, hated the same enemy, and their eyes were torn!
The final decisive battle is finally coming......
"Old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains! Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce! ”
Among the Qin army, I don't know who initiated it, but they unanimously sang the bloody war song of the old Qin people, and at the time of facing the enemy on all sides, the high-pitched and far-reaching Qin cavity swept the heart, unique desolation and tragedy.
Although he is exhausted, he has to fight to the death.
The eight characters of loyalty, righteousness, courage and martial arts have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of these Qin army soldiers!
"There is Great Qin in the west, like the sun rising, a hundred years of national hatred, and the sea is difficult to peace."
"The world is in turmoil, how can we get Corning? Qin has a sharp soldier, who competes with it! ”
The majestic and vicissitudes of the Qin army's war song immediately resounded through the desert wasteland, instantly like the Yangtze River bursting its embankment, and the mountains and rivers lost their color.
Above the flying sand, the lonely Qin cavity was full of breath......
Before the war song was finished, there was a commotion among the Hun army, and the neighing of war horses was incessant.
Out of sight, the Hun iron cavalry quickly stepped forward, rode horses and galloped, stationed in the area less than fifty steps away from the Qin army, and orderly unfolded the formation of the iron cavalry.
"Barbarian, is this going to charge?" Kui Jun frowned, and there were bursts of sadness in his heart from time to time.
Wheel warfare? The Lord will be stunned and gnash his teeth angrily.
"Huns...... What a strategy! ”
Detachments assault and take turns to fight, this is to be alive, the rest of the Great Qin soldiers will be dragged down!
