Chapter 16: The Nomadic King

The remnants of the 5,000 Qin army actually dared to go out of the gate to line up and abandon the stubborn camp, which really surprised the Hun army on the opposite side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They would never have thought that being encircled and disparity in strength only inspired the belligerent blood of the old Qin people, and no one retreated from the enemy!

The two armies fought against each other, and the infantry and cavalry attacked.

The decisive battle in the vast wasteland is also in the hands of the Hun iron cavalry.

Before the order was issued, he couldn't wait to gear up and be eager to try.

It seems that these more than 5,000 remnants of Great Qin have become meat in their mouths.

50,000 encircled and annihilated 5,000, and the fate seems to have been predestined!

"Woo woo woo .................."

In the vast desert wilderness, a long horn sounded immediately......

The Huns, attacked......

The 50,000-strong army of the Xiongnu quickly stepped forward with a team, about 10,000 people, all of whom were elite iron cavalry, riding horses and whipping and attacking, and the target was the remnants of the Qin army that seemed to be vulnerable.

Forty thousand horses' hooves trampled on the wasteland of the loop, and the sound was loud and loud.

For a time, the sound of sharpening knives was mixed with the cold autumn wind, covering the sky and the sun.

As far as the eye can see, there is a white expanse in all directions.

The Xiongnu banner was scattered and fluttered, and soon the 5,000 Qin regiments were besieged.

Now they have become real turtles in the urn, and they can't escape.

Rao was like this, and the remaining Qin officers and soldiers still didn't have any fear on their faces.

Black armor, black scarf, copper sword and copper halberd, the army is neat and tidy before the enemy, brave and heroic!

"Array!" The main general Kui Jun shouted.

After the order was given, Kui Jun seemed to wake up suddenly, looking at the military tent in the distance, a flash of determination flashed in his tearful eyes.

He didn't know, in fact, what he was most ashamed of was these soldiers of the Qin army who regarded him as an eldest brother and gave their lives to themselves!

Above the tower, the flag waved up and down, and there was a sound of breaking the sky.

With a chaotic and rhythmic footsteps, the Qin army immediately finished all the formations.

On the land of only one hectare, a few miles away from the Great Camp, the more than 4,000 remnants of Great Qin's army actually formed a circle.

The circle is divided into three layers, with intermediate intervals of three zhang.

In the outermost layer of the circle are two rows of foot soldiers holding large battle shields.

Without exception, they were all dressed in shirts with their collars crossed over their right sides and their breasts over their chests, knee-length shirts, leather belts around their waists, and no armor.

In his left hand, he holds a large bronze shield and in his right hand a six-foot sword.

The second layer is a full three rows of crossbowmen, which are also the backbone of the Qin army against the Xiongnu.

Unfortunately, they were running out of arrowheads, and each foot soldier had an extra bronze sword for hand-to-hand combat.

After the crossbowmen, there were several rows of timber officers armed with halberds.

These foot soldiers all wore leather hats with a conical bun on the right side, long undershirts, shorts, and shallow feet tied up.

Holding a halberd and wearing leather armor, it is the main force in fighting and killing the enemy.

The main general, Kui Jun, sat in the center and commanded the entire army.

The lieutenants of each battalion performed their duties and waited for orders.

At this time, the Great Qin army array was like an impregnable killing machine.

Like a tiger waiting quietly in the dark night, the blood in his chest is stirring, and he is full of anger.

On the periphery of the Qin army, more than 10,000 of the Xiongnu's charging former enemy iron cavalry were also ready to go.

The Xiongnu are different from the Central Plains, they were born in the vast grasslands and deserts, and they rode on horseback and hunting.

As a result, they abandoned the most powerful refined shield in the Central Plains battle array.

Instead, it was a refined iron helmet and leather armor equipped by the twenty-four chiefs under his command, such as the left and right Xian kings, the left and right Gu Li kings, and the left and right generals.

According to the old system of the Xiongnu, except for the intimate clothing such as profanity and Xianbei, as well as the self-made clothes of each household, the rest of the equipment and ordnance are standardized.

Such as leather tubes, horses, saddle sheaths, bows and crossbows, weapons, etc., are all supplied by each household under the command of the twenty-four chiefs, and they are built in a unified manner.

Most of the horses are produced in the Hetao grassland, and a small number of Hequ horses are produced in the Qiang region west of the river.

The Xiongnu horses were slightly shorter in stature and had larger heads.

The appearance is not tall and mighty, but it has full physical strength, long-lasting stamina, quick movement, and is equipped with saddle sheaths, bridle and other imperial horse tools.

In addition, add a knight, a knife collar, a scimitar with a waist, a strong bow on the back, and a light and simple obedience.

People do not gallop bows, horses do not untie, dangerous roads are blocked, and gallop and shoot.

In peacetime, the division grazes and cultivates, and in wartime, it is under the unified command of the 24 chiefs and even the big orders.

Since then, everyone has been on horseback, and every household has gone hunting, forming a Hun iron cavalry that gallops through the grassland desert but has not met the enemy for a long time!

However, in doing so, it maximizes the advantages of the Iron Cavalry, giving them the ability to maneuver quickly and gallop and shoot.

Moreover, the refined leather armor is heavily built, and the weight is not as good as the battle shield, which can still block the confrontation and stabbing of ordinary weapons such as the halberd.

The distance is a little farther, and it is difficult for even ordinary bows and arrows to penetrate thoroughly.

After all, the elite knights of the Huns did not happen overnight.

The nature is rough and fierce, and the blood adds to the fighting spirit.

The iron cavalry rushed forward and rushed to kill wantonly, and also achieved an undefeated reputation!

If you are undefeated for a long time, you will have a light enemy.

Therefore, when the first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty issued a strong message of the times to attack the Xiongnu in the north, he sent the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 Mengjia troops to the north.

The Huns were still a little naïve to think that this army of kings, who also swept away the Six Kingdoms without tasting defeat and dominated the Central Plains, was no different from their nomadic colleagues who were once vulnerable.

However, time has passed, and these soldiers of the Qin army who have experienced the baptism of war are no longer weak cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.

The crossbows they are equipped with are far from being comparable to the strong bows of nomadic skills!

Even the big country in the Central Plains is still difficult to resist the benefits of Qin's crossbow, not to mention Shuofang's barbarianism?

Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, fought 165 times, won 158 times, and was defeated only four times, and never won all of them or won or lost only three times!

Such a record is unsurpassed by the six countries of the Central Plains, the North Hu and the South Barbarians!

So, under the whining antlers.

The oncoming Hun iron cavalry was only 200 steps away from the cavalry formation of the main general Kui Junbu.

With the silver light of the Longyuan Sword in his hand flashing, the dazzling sunlight immediately swept his eyes and passed in an instant.

"Put!" Order!

The flags intersected left and right, and they sounded fiercely.

"Wind! Wind! Wind! ”

The halberd-wielding officer in the back row roared angrily as a pre-order.

The three rows of crossbowmen in the front of the Qin army are all holding bronze crossbow machines and double pots.

The order is given!

Without the slightest hesitation, he continued to wind, aim, and pull the trigger, and the three-edged arrows shot came in batches one by one.

The crossbowmen were all uniformly dressed, wearing long shirts, leather belts around their waists, shorts, tied with their legs, and shallow shoes.

He wears a round bun on the right side of his head, wears a red scarf, and intersects his chest.

Obviously, according to the twenty grades of the Great Qin military merit system, as well as military law and military discipline.

Without exception, these foot soldiers belonged to the first-class dukes.

Gongshi is the foundation of the Qin army's military merit system, and it is also the stepping stone and the first step for the Great Qin soldiers to kill the enemy!

The opponent already had more than 10,000 people, and the coercion generated by the iron cavalry charge was even more unstoppable.

Therefore, the main general of the Qin army did not dare to underestimate the enemy from the beginning, and could only face the battle with all his strength with the formation of infantry against the cavalry charge!

In infantry and cavalry battles, the infantry should rely on the formation to suppress the enemy's vital forces from a long distance.

The commander-in-chief of the Qin army also realized this.

……

"Just from the list of military formations, strict rules, and no flaws, it can be judged that the chief general of the Qin army must not be mediocre."

"Crossbowmen, halberd soldiers, and light soldiers are in good order, the military appearance is strictly orderly, there are no obvious defects at all, and the time and place are good, strange!"

Outside the battlefield, the situation has eased.

On the distant hill about a few miles away, a pair of Hun cavalry immediately held their swords, stationed at the height of their hooves, and looked down on the entire battlefield from top to bottom.

In front of the team, a brightly dressed, brocade hat and ermine fur, not like a barbarian, rugged girl hugged her arms in front of her chest, frowned slightly, gently held Yao's nose, sometimes tender like water, sometimes murderous eyes stared at the battlefield pattern.

If others see it, I'm afraid they will really wonder, with the character of the northern barbarians hunting on horseback, how could such a gentle and lovely, beautiful and handsome woman be born?

However, this is the case. Such a girl is the sister of the King of the Huns, Princess Peilan!

The girl held a cyan bronze sword in her hand, the hilt was red, the cold light was shining without entering the scabbard, and it was full of murderous aura.

With a girl's lovely face and slender figure, it has a bit of a heroic feeling.

"Huluo, you immediately go and tell your brother that the Qin army's military formation is rigorous, and it should be based on encirclement and attack!"

"In addition, the scouts and listening sent by the Qin army have all been solved by me, and none of them have slipped through the net, so he can rest assured that he will destroy the enemy without any worries."

The girl turned back and said to one of the attendants behind her.

"Order!"

……

The streamlined sharp arrowheads, mixed with the sharp sound of breaking the sky, are even more lethal against the backdrop of the bleak autumn wind.

The Hun Baichang, who bore the brunt and screamed, was soon paid the price by his rash attack by his light enemy!

A three-out blade that shone with cold light, flew through the air two hundred paces, and the target was his chest.

Bai Chang raised his head, his face was shining, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

The black pupils quickly locked onto Qin Jun's arrows, and fine beads of sweat gradually oozed from the corners of his forehead.

As the leading soldier in the front army charge, he must set an example for the Hun soldiers behind him, and must not retreat half a step!

The mind was decided, and Bai Chang's eyes froze.

"Woo !!"

"Drink!" He held the scabbard of his scimitar in his hand, and raised his hand to cut it.

Airplanes......

The three blades screamed in response, and they were broken in two!

Bai Chang's mouth was shaken, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the scimitar was faintly falling off!

Call...... The Hun Baichang hurriedly held the scimitar that was almost out of his hand, and let out a long breath of turbidity.

As expected, although there were some waves, fortunately there were no dangers.

The feather arrows of the Central Plains people are still so easy to break and powerless.

The corners of his mouth twitched, he sneered again and again, and he didn't care about the blood oozing faintly from the tiger's mouth.

Just about to ride the horse and whip, in the next moment, his face suddenly became cold as frost.

The severe pain coming from his heart made him scream, and his brows were even more furrowed so much that he could almost squeeze out blood!

Damn it! Damn it!

The three-out blade, which was supposed to be cut in two and splashed in all directions, only deviated from the direction of flight for a short time without the shaft of the arrow.

The sudden volley of the scimitar gives the arrow an amazing power!

Phew!

The three-out blade that does not decrease but increases in power penetrates a layer of armor and two layers of leather clothing in an instant, and it reaches the chest!

After a period of overturning the river and the sea, the arrow arrow, which had weakened slightly, broke out of the skin, bringing out a large * piece of flesh.

Blood foam was scattered and splashed, and the iron riders next to it were all affected.

Disheveled! The arrows flew into the ground, smashing up clouds of dust.

"Ah!!h

Caught off guard, the Hun Baichang suddenly rolled off the war horse, and his sturdy body quickly fell to the ground.

The scimitar in his hand had completely fallen off at some point, and a strange arc was cut in mid-air, and it immediately sank into the yellow sand.

Bang!

The iron cavalry in the rear couldn't dodge, and the thick horse's hooves directly trampled on Bai Chang's breathless body.

Yes!!!

The Hun Baichang puffed out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were messy.

The pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't bat himself.

He couldn't believe that his last breath was cut off under the iron hooves of the Huns themselves!

……

"Ahhh......h

I don't know if it was Bai Chang's death that stimulated these Hun iron cavalry, or if he was rough by nature, and the scarlet blood inspired the Hun cavalry's monstrous fighting spirit!

In an instant, the drums roared, the iron hooves burst, and the flying sand and dust covered the sky.

The cavalry of these 10,000 forwards came out in all directions and rushed in a single column!

Their target was the military formation of five thousand remnants of Great Qin who seemed to be vulnerable.
