Chapter 17: A Bloody Battle

In the face of the opponent's double-doubled iron cavalry charge, the two rows of shield-wielding foot soldiers at the front of the military formation did not flinch and remained unmoved. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing the sound of the Qin crossbow in the hands of the crossbowmen behind him constantly firing arrows, there was a little more killing intent in his eyes.

The Qin army's arrows are like flying locusts, and within the area of only 200 to 100 steps away from the military array, it has created a desperate situation where one man is too close to ten thousand people!

Although there were more than 10,000 people in the Xiongnu forward iron cavalry, in front of the long-range and powerful Qin army, without exception, almost all of them were ruthlessly penetrated and shot until they fell off their horses and died.

Time was only a few dozen breaths, and before the Huns could get close to the distance of two hundred paces, they instantly suffered more than 1,000 casualties......

One by one, the extremely sharp three-out blades, on the vast wasteland, are tantamount to the arrival of a killing god!

This was originally a paradise for cavalry, but at this time it has become a hell of mountains and corpses and a sea of blood.

The arrows that flew over 200 paces and rushed wildly basically ignored the iron armor of the Huns, and some could even penetrate several knights one after another, and the lethality can be seen!

The more than 2,000 forward iron horsemen who bore the brunt of the attack were soon killed one by one by the Qin army's non-stop arrows!

However, even so, the follow-up replenishment of the Hun Iron Cavalry still did not flinch, but became more and more crazy.

Seeing the corpses of the iron horses in the headquarters, they all wailed for a while, and then looked angrily at the Qin army formation in front of them, which was like a sea of blood and hatred.

Great Qin and Xiongnu, an empire of agricultural civilization and the overlord of a nomadic tribe, have never had the possibility of negotiating peace.

Whether it is the people or the army, the emperor or Shan Yu, there is no doubt that they regard the other party as their own confidants!

After all, the Xiongnu had nomadic totems; Daqin, on the other hand, has its own arrogance.

When feuds meet, fate is already doomed.

Either you die or I die......

However, at a distance, it was obviously Great Qin's bow and crossbow that were superior.

Although the Xiongnu Iron Cavalry was also equipped with a strong bow with great arm strength, it was still slightly at a disadvantage in the face of Daqin's strong crossbow with a range of up to 200 paces.

Daqin's strong crossbow is pulled with the strength of the whole body, and when each foot is wound, he falls to the ground and raises his legs, puts it on his waist, and pulls the string with all his might.

And the Huns only rely on simple arm strength, obviously the arm can't twist the big * leg.

What's more, because of the slow winding, the Great Qin crossbowmen designed a strategy of firing arrows again and again in order to achieve the purpose of uninterrupted firing.

That is, three rows of crossbowmen are staggered, one zhang apart from each other on the left and right, and seven feet apart from each other before and after.

While the first row of crossbowmen releases their arrows, the next two rows wind and tie their arrows, respectively.

Once the first row of arrows is finished, it is half a step back and rewound, and the second row is immediately forward to fire, followed by the third row.

In this way, one by one, the goal of firing arrows without interruption was achieved to suppress the opponent's cavalry with all his strength.

Limited by the fact that the crossbow can only be used for a single shot, and when the number of people is insufficient, the combat power of the strong crossbow battalion cannot be fully exerted.

Otherwise, it must not be difficult for the Qin army's combat effectiveness to reach a higher level.

However, under the wasteland, within the range of 200 to 100 steps, the Qin crossbow undoubtedly built an impregnable Great Wall of arrows.

This vast land, which is only an acre of land, has been turned into a grave filled with corpses and bones.

Although the Huns crossed the horseback and galloped the world, they were still confused by some monks who were beyond the skills of the nomads.

For a time, the forward iron cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but they did not even approach the formation of these thousands of remnants.

It seems that the form of the battlefield is turning into a one-sided slaughter, and it is torture!

Rao is like this, and the remaining more than 7,000 iron horsemen still have no intention of retreating.

For the death of his comrades on the battlefield, he did not have any regrets, but urged the war horse under his crotch more violently and rushed to kill with all his might.

After losing more than 1,000 people again under the dense rain of arrows, the Xiongnu's forward iron cavalry finally broke into a distance of less than 100 paces from the central circle......

According to the military system, from 200 steps to 100 steps, Daqin's crossbow mainly used oblique shooting.

Namely...... Raise the bow of the crossbow at an angle to increase range and lethality.

Within 100 steps, the crossbow machine will be leveled for a more powerful and lethal flat shot.

Because the aiming of the horizontal shooting lookout is more accurate and the distance is closer, the combat power is more terrifying.

However, when the remaining 6,000 or so remnants of the forward cavalry desperately broke through to less than 100 steps, they found that the Qin army's bows and crossbows suddenly stopped......

The sharp sound of three blades and arrows breaking through the sky that originally lingered in my ears suddenly disappeared and disappeared at this time......

Hundreds of Hun cavalry who took the lead urgently reined in the ......, lest the Qin army have a plan.

However......

The fact is that the Qin army has run out of arrows......

Otherwise, they would not have allowed these strikers to rush to such close range.

It is estimated that if there are enough arrows and crossbows, it is a question whether these 10,000 forward iron horsemen can break through the rain of arrows like flying locusts.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and the reality is so cruel.

The arrows on which he relied have been exhausted......

The commander of the Qin army, who commanded the strong crossbow battalion, closed his horns, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he sighed helplessly, and then shouted loudly:

"Abandon the crossbow and the sword!"

"Bang bang bang! Click, click! ”

A bronze crossbow machine with exquisite workmanship was mercilessly thrown to the ground, letting out a desperate wail.

"Great Qin's crossbow machine, even if it is shattered, it can't fall into the hands of barbarians!"

Du Weijiao gritted his teeth and thought resolutely.

"Rub it!"

With the sound of crisp and loud bronze rubbing against each other, a thousand five-foot-long Qin swords were unsheathed at the same time!

"Wind and wind! Wind and wind! ”

The Qin army's strong crossbow battalion infantry officers all roared in a long way, looking up to the sky and roaring!

The crossbow soldiers have become light soldiers, and the current Qin army seems to have only one way out of fighting face-to-face with the other party.

The Great Qin military law is strict, and the military merit system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As a soldier, you can only move forward to kill the enemy, not take a step back.

If a person is beheaded by a nobleman, he can get a knighthood, one acre of land, and several servants.

Behead two people, and the title will be increased by one level, and so on.

But if any one retreats, not only one of them will be killed, but also four of his companions will sit together.

Therefore, at this time, even if they are attacked on all sides, they have no way to retreat.

The main general was in the center, his eyes glaring ahead, and shouted:

"Soldiers are martyred, and their souls bless the territory!"

"Go to war!"

An order was given, and the flag above the watchtower was displayed, and the wind broke fiercely.

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together! Kill!!!! ”

Heng Yong, the commander of the Dead Soldier Battalion, took the lead and led more than 1,000 shield-wielding foot soldiers in the outermost part of the army, launching a mountain and sea charge!

The shouting of killing suddenly resounded in the sky, and the black and oppressive battle flag of the Qin army covered the sky and the sun, waving in the wind!

Then, a thousand crossbowmen with swords in their hands followed the camp of the dead and rushed away with a roar.

The light barracks and the sharp battalions are no more than 1,000 people respectively.

It was also from both flanks of the Chinese army, outflanking and rushing.

"Drink!"

Then, with the shouts of the main general Kui Jun, the real main force of the Great Qin Infantry Soldiers, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Iron Halberd Battalion, suddenly came out in all directions and killed them in a single column.

The main general Kui Jun held the Longyuan sword, the blade of the sword pointed straight at the sky, led a team of sergeants, and rushed out of the Chinese army in the lead! Three teams of halberd battalion officers followed.

Seeing the main general working so hard, the soldiers of the Qin army were greatly encouraged, and the blood in the bones of the old Qin people was also completely stimulated!

In an instant, the offense and defense changed shape, and the mountains and rivers were stunning!

The sharp roar and roar of the Qin people immediately shook the heavens and the earth, and even the commander of the Huns, who was firmly in the army of his headquarters, Shu Mulu, the king of the plough khan, couldn't help but secretly admire.

"The Qin people are so fierce and swear not to be afraid of death, which is really admirable."

"Thanks to the big single trick, there is already a way to completely annihilate the enemy, otherwise it is estimated that our Hun warriors will have to go through a tragic battle."

…………

In a desperate situation, the state of forgetting life and death shown by the Qin people, and even the high morale, are all eye-catching.

What's more, frightened by the roar of the Qin army, the war horses under the iron horses of many forwards actually stopped moving, but kept spinning.

Those cavalry who rushed to the front and had previously been worried about the conspiracy of the Qin people.

Their eyes were wide open, their pupils dilated, and their faces were full of incredulity.

They couldn't believe that these Qin troops, who were already small in number and at a disadvantage, dared to rush and kill them all.

Moreover, it was in the wilderness where the infantry was fighting......

You must know that fighting on the plains, once the cavalry formation is spread out and galloping with all their might, it is tantamount to killing the gods.

The foot soldiers who fought against it were almost only dry eyes.

Although the formation of the Huns has not yet been fully unfolded for the time being, and the more than 100 iron cavalry in the vanguard are still dozens of steps away from the team, they are not comparable to these Qin army foot soldiers who don't even have horses!

Is there really such an army in this world that is not afraid of death?

After a brief period of shock, the Huns gradually came to their senses.

The big war is imminent, like an arrow on the string, and it has to be launched.

The Hun cavalry, who came back to their senses, turned to look happy.

Wild wasteland, infantry and cavalry against each other, it is obvious that the cavalry is in absolute superiority.

In such an open area, the cavalry can rely on the terrain to deploy the maximum force and charge in echelons.

You can gallop thousands of miles when you enter, and you can retreat without harm.

Dealing with this gang of foot soldiers, isn't it a quick knife to cut through the mess?

"Whoa!"

A sharp and loud howl came, and more than 6,000 forward iron horsemen formed their formations, rode their horses and whips, and soon fought with the vanguard of the Qin army.

"Peng!!

Because of the huge inertia, a Qin army foot soldier holding a war shield who rushed to the front was directly knocked away by the Huns' armored war horses.

He suddenly felt a big tightness in his chest, spurted a large mouthful of blood on his back, and fell to the ground.

The Hun iron cavalry turned a blind eye, urged the war horse under the crotch, and rushed quickly.

At the same time, he possessed the horse's back, and vigorously waved the scimitar in his hand, accurately slashing through the neck of another Qin army foot soldier, bringing out a large * blood line.

Then the corners of his mouth grinned, stretched out his tongue and licked the Qin people's hot blood splashing at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were a little more fanatical.

With a loud shout, his eyes froze, and his legs unconsciously urged the war horse under his crotch and fought hard!

In the next breath, an ordinary Qin army foot soldier flew over, dragged him off the horse, and the two quickly scuffled together.

In just a few breaths, the white-clothed and white-armored Hun iron cavalry and the black-robed and black-armored Qin army infantry completely mixed together.

The life-and-death battle of more than 4,000 Great Qin officials against 6,000 Hun iron cavalry kicked off!

But on top of the wasteland, it turned into a purgatory of corpses and a sea of blood in an instant!

Kui Jun, the commander of the Qin army, was ahead of all the foot soldiers, and took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation, jumping and pulling his left hand casually.

A galloping Hun cavalry in front of him was caught off guard, turned over unsteadily, almost fell off the horse, the corners of the main general's mouth grinned, sneered again and again, the right hand waved from the bottom to the top, the sharp bronze sword cut into the armpit of the Hun cavalry in an instant, the flesh and blood splashed, driven by inertia, the momentum did not decrease, until it brought out a large * bloodstain, a head homeopathic flew into the sky, and at the same time scattered and splashed an arm and blurred flesh and blood.

The main general Kui Jun immediately stepped on the severed limbs of the Huns, jumped up with the force, turned over the horse's back, and moved his mind, grabbed the horse's reins with his left hand, and pulled it fiercely.

"Shhh The mouth of the war horse under the crotch was painful, and the hooves were instantly stationed, and the front hooves were raised high, bringing up bursts of dust.

The main general once again exerted his left hand, turned the horse's head, and pointed the spearhead of the battle at the Hun vanguard iron cavalry, which was less than ten steps away from him.

His eyes condensed, his pupils contracted sharply, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were cracked, like a deep hatred in the sea of blood.

Time was pressing, and the Lord would not speak, nor hesitate.

The war is imminent, and there is no room for distractions.

Deng Shi shouted, the wide sword body "snapped", and without hesitation, he whipped the fat buttocks * of the steppe horse under the crotch, and at the same time, his legs were also tightly clamped on the horse's back, and he quickly urged the war horse under the crotch, holding his breath and concentrating into the enemy formation.

The Hun knight, who only had half of his body left, squirmed a few times in embarrassment, and was trampled by the Qin soldiers who followed him and sank into the loess.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, for everyone, it will be the same.

The overlord of a nomadic people, the king of an agrarian nation, finally began a fateful fight!
