The 120,000 Jiuyuan army lined up in a strict phalanx like this, and slowly pursued towards the Maodun army that had left Jiuyuan City.

The generals of the Jiuyuan Army who went out of the city knew very well that Mao Dun obviously wanted to break through Jiuyuan City. And the reason why he chose to give up the siege of Jiuyuan City was precisely because Jiuyuan City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Mao Dun didn't want to bear losses. Leaving Jiuyuan City and going north was just a deliberate move.

With the speed of the Hun cavalry, the journey of more than 30 miles was only a matter of half an hour. I'm afraid that the Jiuyuan army has just gotten the news out of the city, and now the Hun army has begun to turn around and rush in the direction of Jiuyuan City.

Therefore, Li Gang and other generals of the Jiuyuan Army who went out of the city were not in a hurry at all.

Mao Dun abandoned the city and went north to force the Jiuyuan army out of the city, and now that the Jiuyuan army has gone out of the city, there is no need to rush to chase the Huns, the Huns will naturally come to them.

Sure enough, the Jiuyuan military array moved slowly, and before half an hour, the earth began to tremble slightly, and the rolling muffled thunder came from the northern sky, and in less than a moment, the Hun cavalry covering the sky had appeared on the northern horizon.

At this time, the 120,000 soldiers of the Nine Plains had just left Jiuyuan City less than ten miles.

Seeing the dense Hun cavalry that appeared at the end of the line of sight, the Jiuyuan Army did not stop advancing immediately, but continued to meet the Hun cavalry.

Mao Dun was waiting for the Jiuyuan Army to go out of the city, but what he didn't expect was that he had just left Jiuyuan City less than fifty miles before the Jiuyuan Army came out. Obviously, the Jiuyuan Army was absolutely unwilling to enter the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of its own in Yunzhong and Yanmen.

The roar of the hooves of the Hun cavalry changed from rolling thunder to earth-shattering loud noise, and more than 400,000 Hun cavalry formed a huge half-moon shape and outflanked the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army that appeared in the wilderness.

More than 400,000 cavalry charged, and as far as the eye could see, the entire land was basically covered by the Huns all over the mountains, and countless war horses galloped. The momentum is not grand, and the momentum is not shocking.

The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army walking in the wilderness could clearly feel that the whole earth was trembling, and this trembling gradually turned into trembling as the Hun cavalry approached, and finally gradually gave people the feeling that the whole world was shaking.

In just a few moments, the Hun cavalry, which was originally the size of a fingernail, had become the size of a normal person. The distance between the two sides is now less than five miles.

"Knock knock!"

The dull sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the middle of the military in the Jiuyuan Army, which was slowly walking.

As the war drums sounded, the 80,000 foot soldiers of the three Jiuyuan Army infantry phalanxes who were slowly moving forward stopped in unison. The Qin soldiers in the three infantry phalanx immediately closed tightly into a huge and tightly organized phalanx.

Immediately afterwards, the muffled sound of "bang bang bang" became one after another. Twenty thousand Jiuyuan Army foot soldiers holding a huge shield more than one zhang high crossed the formation, and around this huge phalanx composed of 80,000 Qin army foot soldiers, they put down the huge iron shield wrapped in their hands.

In just a few moments, in the outermost part of the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army, there was a steel city wall composed entirely of a giant shield more than one zhang high. Wrap the phalanx of foot soldiers firmly around this steel wall.

As soon as the big shield was placed, the spearmen holding the spear Changge stepped forward one after another, and stuck the tail of the spear and Changge that were more than three zhang long into the ground obliquely into the ground, and the spear body was held tightly in his arms with both hands, so that the sharp spear tip or the spear head pointed obliquely into the sky through the gap in the middle of the giant shield.

The phalanx of the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army, which was originally surrounded by a circle of giant shields as if it was covered with a layer of turtle shells, turned into a domineering giant hedgehog in just a few moments, and the sharp heads of spears shimmered in the sunlight with a terrifying cold glow.

The elite cavalry of the 40,000 Ninth Plains Army, which had been slowly riding horses and following behind the phalanx of the three Nine Plains Army foot soldiers, moved one after another under the leadership of Li Gang, Meng Wu, Zhao Zhan, and Meng Guo after the integration of the 80,000 Plain Army.

However, the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army did not go towards the Hun cavalry that rushed over, but directly turned the horse's head and headed towards Jiuyuan City. It seems that he abandoned these 80,000 foot soldiers and wanted to return to the city.

The 40,000 elite horsemen did not take a long time to move away and disappeared without a trace.

The Hun cavalry formed a huge arc in the shape of a half-moon and surrounded the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army in the wilderness. The middle part obviously slowed down the horse, and the Hun cavalry on both flanks were desperately whipping the war horses under their crotches, obviously trying to surround the 80,000 Qin soldiers.

They were not worried at all that these Jiuyuan troops who dared to leave the city would be able to escape. The difference between two legs and four legs, think about it with your toes, who can outrun whom? The Xiongnu barbarians instead hoped that the Jiuyuan army could escape.

After all, the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who escaped will not be able to form a complete battle formation. And once the Qin army has no battle formation, in the face of the Hun cavalry, which is at least five times larger than the Jiuyuan army, there is basically only one way to destroy the whole army.

The distance of more than ten miles is just the blink of an eye.

The Hun cavalry all over the mountains, except for the two wings because they had to outflank the Jiuyuan Army in a circle, the part of the Hun cavalry recessed in the middle was already less than five or six miles away from the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army.

In the hedgehog-shaped phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army's foot soldiers, the war drums have not stopped. Every time the drum fell, it made the blood on the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army boil a little. Looking at the Hun cavalry getting closer and closer, the majestic battle intent in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

I don't know who took the lead in shouting these three words first. At first, there were only a few shouts, and then they turned into earth-shattering shouts from the whole army. The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army slammed the armor on their chests with their bronze swords, shouting three words of killing in unison!

The sound of the collision of blades and armor, and the murderous roar, suddenly resounded throughout the whole heaven and earth, overshadowing the overwhelming roar of horses' hooves.

The murderous aura that soared to the sky reached its peak at this moment!

It can be seen with the naked eye that with the sudden burst of shouts in the phalanx of the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army, the Hun cavalry who rushed to the front and ran closest to the phalanx of the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army, in this huge wave of sound, at least dozens of horses fell to the ground because the horses were frightened, and the Hun cavalry on horseback did not even have time to scream, and they were trampled into flesh by the countless Hun cavalry that followed.

The Nine Plains Army didn't care about all this. Because at this time, the originally steady sound of war drums began to become rapid, and everything sounded one after another like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate.

The tightly organized steel hedgehog phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army suddenly moved out of hundreds of passages several zhang wide, and carriages pulling large repeating crossbow machines drove out of the open passage and appeared on the periphery of the boxy hedgehog phalanx.

A whole two hundred large repeating crossbows!

Thousands of soldiers of the Jiuyuan army quickly unloaded the large repeating crossbow machine, and then led the war horse pulling the cart into the phalanx, and placed the two hundred empty carriages connected end to end, and the periphery of the phalanx could not block the place where the large repeating crossbow machine was launched.

Although these carriages were not numerous, they could still be used as the first obstacle to stop the charge of the Hun cavalry.

While thousands of soldiers methodically adjusted the large repeating crossbow machine, thousands of soldiers of the Nine Plains rushed out of the cracked passage in the phalanx, all wearing deerskin gloves in their hands, each carrying a seemingly heavy sack.

The soldiers ran very fast, until they were a hundred paces away from the phalanx, and then took out handfuls of copper nails, brass thorns, and other things from the sacks that could hurt the horse's hooves and stop the cavalry's charge, and threw them on the wilderness.

At this moment, the Hun cavalry was still less than four miles away from the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army. In a few moments, it will be within range of the large repeating crossbows!

But whether it was the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were debugging the large repeating crossbow machine, or the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who splashed copper thorns, or the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were arrayed, none of them panicked, and they didn't even seem to hear the deafening roar of horses' hooves.

Debugging the crossbow machine, throwing thorns and throwing thorns, arrays of arrays. The only difference is that there is a flame brewing and burning in the eyes of every soldier of the Nine Plains!

The Jiuyuan Army has never been afraid of battles, horse leather shrouds, and has never been afraid of the Hun barbarians. This moment is vividly expressed.

Three miles!

Thousands of Jiuyuan troops who rushed to a hundred paces away to throw copper thorns and other things quickly threw away the copper thorns and other things in the sack, and then turned around and rushed towards the phalanx without looking back.

They were not afraid of the approaching Hun cavalry, but they were worried that their people would block the power of the large repeating crossbow machine. Not being afraid of the Huns does not mean that you are willing to be shot into a sieve by your own people.

Two miles!

At this distance, the outermost soldiers of the Jiuyuan army could even see the hideous eyes of the Hun cavalry rushing wildly. The left and right wings of the Hun cavalry are about to truly complete the encirclement of the 80,000-9 original army after making a small semicircle.

Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry, the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army could not see any emotion on the faces of the Jiuyuan Army soldiers except for the rumbling war drums that sounded more rapidly.

No tickling, no fear, no timidity.

It seems that he is not facing hundreds of thousands of Hun barbarians, but just a few wild dogs.

1,800 steps!

1,600 steps!

"Bangbang!"

The continuous dull sound of banging sounded one after another from all around the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army!

With a sharp whistling sound, the thick crossbow arrows of more than a zhang long instantly crossed the distance of 800 meters and fiercely drilled into the dense Hun cavalry group!

In the deafening sound of horses' hooves, not at all the screams of the Huns were heard! Because they were either dead at the moment when they were pierced by the giant crossbow arrows, or they were caught by the crossbow arrows, flew off their horses, fell to the ground, and were trampled to death by the countless Hun cavalry that followed!

Hundreds of giant crossbow arrows plowed hundreds of blood grooves in the dense group of Hun cavalry!
