The Yingbu army soon invaded the grassland, which was the place where the Qiang people lived, but the Qiang patriarch had already taken precautions here, and there were soldiers behind the camp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Therefore, the cavalry led by Yingbu and the Qiang soldiers are in a melee at the moment, Yingbu has always been brave, like no man's land, and the spears in his hands are also slashed left and right, and from time to time the Qiang soldiers fall.

At this moment, regardless of the cavalry in the rear, Yingbu led a hundred cavalry to fight from east to west, and no one dared to stop him, but he only walked about three miles, and all the camp tents were reduced one after another.

Yingbu also suddenly realized in his heart that the front was just a place where the Qiang patriarch deployed his troops, and some of the baggage was not in these tents at all, fighting back and forth for several rounds.

After all, the current Qin Dynasty still adopts the military law system of Shang Dynasty, as long as you kill people, you will be rewarded, so the Qin army is like a tiger and wolf.

In less than half an hour, the grassland was already covered with corpses, including some moans, but war is so cruel, as long as you fall, back and forth horses' hooves, soldiers, will not care about your life or death, unless the war is over, when the corpses are counted, you still have a breath, that can prove that you are a surviving soldier.

Yingbu saw that the camp tent of the Qiang tribe had almost collapsed, and immediately ordered the soldiers to take this opportunity to set fire to the camp tent, because it was the end of autumn, there was a lot of dry grass, and a few shrubs and dry firewood, coupled with a light wind from the northwest, the fire broke out, and it was impossible to control it at all.

Even Yingbu didn't expect the fire to be so fierce, so he immediately ordered the troops to retreat, evacuate here, and return to the vicinity of Yanzhi Mountain.

Yingbu withdrew the army for the time being, just look at the Qiang soldiers, the camp tent is dry and the grass is burning, there is no way to control it, the soldiers who fell on the grass, although they are still alive, but their eyes are full of despair.

With such a fire, who would care about the soldiers who were lying on the ground and dying, the Qiang general immediately ordered a retreat, and all the supplies were abandoned, and the cavalry was in front first.

When the fire did not spread, he had to dig a separation zone with weapons to control the fire.

It was only after the Qiang soldiers suffered that they worked for many hours before the fire was extinguished, and the originally yellow grassland was burned by the fire, and there were black fire traces everywhere, and there would be the smell of scorched corpses from time to time.

After a day's count, the Qiang people lost 5,000 soldiers and horses, and countless other heavy goods, and all the soldiers had to return to the location of the Qiang chief.

After Yingbu set fire to the day, he sent soldiers to reconnoiter and learned that all the Qiang soldiers had evacuated.

The place where I want to fight is the land of the Qiang people, and no matter what losses there are, the Qiang people will bear them, which also makes Yingbu have a new plan in his heart.

Since the fire attack is so powerful, you might as well burn all the Qiang people with a fire, so that the damage to the soldiers will reach the minimum, if the Qiang people do not prepare, they can only move to other places, that is the northern part of Qilian Mountain.

This plan is not only known to Yingbu, the Qiang people are naturally aware of this problem, and there is no other way at present, plus the grass and trees are dry in autumn and winter, this is the time of day, how can it be stopped.

Taking advantage of the fact that Yingbu did not attack again, the Qiang patriarch had to order his soldiers to shovel out multiple isolation belts first, so as not to trap the entire army.

In addition, he sent 10,000 soldiers to explore the road from the northwest to find a way to the north of Qilian Mountain, and then abandon this place, and then occupy the Yue clan land, taking Qilian Mountain as a natural danger, the Qin army will definitely not be able to attack.

And only 5,000 soldiers and horses were left in the Qiang tribe's land, which was used to transfer women and children when Yingbu attacked next, which shows that the Qiang patriarch's vision cannot be said to be short-sighted, but it is quite unique.

According to the theory of ordinary people, it should take advantage of the victory of Yingbu, the pride of the army, and attack the vicinity of Yanzhi Mountain at night, if it occupies the Yanzhi Mountain and Qilian Mountain, you can take the Yue clan in one fell swoop, and then explain the benefits, and the Xiongnu alliance and resist the Qin army, although it cannot be said to win, but it can still contain the Qin army, if it fails, it will retreat to the second, but now, the Qiang people have gone.

Yingbu won a small victory, entertained the soldiers for two days, and did not engage in any night raids, and led 8,000 Qin troops and 2,000 archers, and crossbow arrows are currently being produced, so they can only be replaced by bows and arrows.

The bow and arrow held by the archer is not used to kill, but is specially used for arson, the arrow is wrapped in an oilcloth, it can be ignited and shot, it is necessary to attack the city, and now the British cloth is used in the grassland is also rare.

In half a day, Yingbu's army rushed to the place where it had been burned some time ago, and when it saw the mess, it was very happy, and immediately ordered two thousand cavalry to be in front, the archers in the middle, and the rest of the Qin army to advance in turn.

The patriarch of the Qiang tribe heard that the Qin army led 10,000 troops, and suddenly panicked in the camp tent, originally the Qiang tribe had 20,000 soldiers, and the loss of 5,000 in the last battle was 5,000, and then 10,000 went to find the way, only 5,000 men and horses remained, how not to panic.

As for the Yue clan, according to Chen Ping's arrangement, they ambushed in the north of Qilian Mountain, but they didn't see the Qiang soldiers, so they had no choice but to go back to the camp to rest, and they heard Yingbu's victory, which made Chen Ping feel a little relieved, but he still stayed in the Yue clan in case something changed.

In the Qiang camp, many elders looked at each other, after all, they were barbarians, and at this time, they did not go to the front to meet the enemy, nor did they retreat to the rear, they only thought in the camp, which was really hopeless.

"Patriarch, there are already 10,000 soldiers exploring the road ahead, it is better to retreat first, if we find a way to the north of Qilian Mountain, we will attack the past, if not, find another way to recuperate." An elder said helplessly.

Everyone had no other way, and they felt justified when they heard this, and the patriarch immediately ordered to leave some of the baggage and advance lightly, but at this time, Yingbu's army had already been killed.

Five miles outside the camp, Yingbu saw a Qiang military camp, and he was very happy, and immediately ordered the cavalry to retreat, with the archers in front, marching quickly and not slacking off.

When the Qiang people saw Yingbu coming, how could they take care of other things, so they had to leave with their treasures, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people were left unattended, and many burdens were not taken away from the tent.

When Yingbu saw the Qiang patriarch leading people away, he immediately led two thousand cavalry to chase after him, but some of the Qiang soldiers cut off the road, and it was difficult for Yingbu to advance, so he shot and killed a thousand Qiang people and returned.

Now that many Qiang people are gone, Yingbu is very helpless in his heart, and wants to come and lead 20,000 troops, only kill five or six thousand people, and go back to say that the Qiang people escaped, presumably Hou Ye is also bored in his heart, after all, the people who flee are hidden dangers.

Thinking of this, Yingbu frowned, so he ordered to burn the baggage left by the Qiang people, killed the old and young left by the Qiang people, and then left, but Yingbu was not ready to withdraw the army at this time, but ordered the sentries to continue to track the Qiang people.

At the beginning, Lu Yan said that the troops would not be vacant, so Yingbu did not dare to withdraw the army so early, and it was not a bad thing to stay and observe.
