Everyone who lives on the grassland knows that the vast grassland is the best place for the nomadic people to live. The Huns were eagles on the prairie, but that was only during the day.

The prairie at night belongs to the wolves who are active on the grassland, and is the descendant of the wolf god they worship.

Night blindness, of course, in this day and age would not have such an academic name. However, the Huns all know that the people on the grassland can not see much at night, except for the elite of those big tribes, many ordinary Huns are unable to see things in the night, even if there are torches, they can't see much, they can't see far.

And at night, it is the time when the wolves are most active in the savannah. The Huns, who used the wolf as a totem, believed that this was the arrangement of the wolf god, and that the steppe was reserved for the human people during the day, and that it was a gift to their descendants at night.

Although the 200,000 Hun cavalry that followed Mao Dun south this time, in addition to the elite of the guards in Mao Dun's own tribe, many of the rest were recruited from the elite of various powerful tribes of the Xiongnu, but there were still many ordinary Huns among the 200,000 Hun cavalry.

After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of Donghu people around Wolf Juxu Mountain, and it is impossible for those big tribes and nobles of the Xiongnu to hand over the elite of their tribes.

If it weren't for night blindness, if it wasn't for the night, I believe there were many Huns who had already become deserters. However, the prairie at night, as long as the people living on the prairie know, it belongs to the descendants of the wolf god. They are even more terrifying than the fierce Qin people.

A single or several Huns scurrying across the steppe shrouded in darkness will die faster.

And this, too, is why it was not until a distance of nearly two hundred paces that even the strong crossbow of the Suzaku Army hit the heads of the Huns, that the Hun cavalry was horrified to find that they had been running happily for a long time, and the object they wanted to rely on had become a deadly person in the blink of an eye.

This strong psychological gap made all the Hun cavalry completely fall into the endless abyss in their hearts that had long been frightened.

At this time, no one thought about why there were Qin people on their way to escape. Because the Qin people's strong crossbows that suddenly appeared in front of them had already attacked overwhelmingly.

Many of the Hun cavalry who ran wildly couldn't see who was in front of them even if they reached this distance, and they were not actually on the same line with Wang Qian's 20,000 Vermilion Bird Army at the beginning, and the two cavalry were at least a few miles apart, and it was precisely because they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it was also the sound of horses' hooves from the direction of Yunzhong County.

In the dazed and frightened expressions of the Hun cavalry, countless small crossbow arrows with a fierce roar instantly crossed the darkness and appeared in front of them. It wasn't until the roaring crossbow arrows approached their bodies, and then easily tore through the sheepskin shoulders on their bodies, tore the flesh and blood, and burrowed into their bodies, and the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was instantly transmitted through the nerves that were still functioning to the brains of the Hun cavalry who were shot by the crossbow arrows, that they understood. But it's too late.

The irrepressible pain continuously invaded the blank brains of the Huns, making them can't help but open their mouths and let out a miserable scream.

Fortunately, the pain they felt didn't last long.

The Hun cavalry who fell from the horseback was either hit by their own people who were galloping from behind and killed instantly, or they fell to the ground and were trampled into flesh by the countless horse hooves that followed, and merged with the earth. Dust to dust, soil to earth, nourishing the land of China, for the benefit of future generations, they can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows were densely packed with arrows from the Suzaku army array, which was rushing one after another, and they poured out in the Hun cavalry formation that was also rushing wildly.

The darkness of the night, and the sudden encounter with the battle, had a great impact on the accurate surname of the Suzaku Army's crossbow arrows. Even though they had gone through the most rigorous training and simulated drills and battles of this era, it was not a real fight after all.

In the scorching heat, Hu Hai once asked the 600,000 soldiers of the Bashang battalion to train in a queue at night, but he obviously forgot a very important point, that is, the training of night battles.

The Suzaku Army, and even the entire Five Army Corps, had never conducted a night battle drill against the surname, let alone a night battle drill against the two armies. Wang Qian knew this very well, but when the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and no army has been invincible in the world since its establishment. Without brutal fighting, without experiencing death and blood, even with the best equipment, it can only be an elite, not a strong soldier.

It is impossible to judge exactly how much damage the crossbow bolts inflicted on the Hun cavalry. In the dim light of the torches, all that could be seen was the galloping Hun cavalry array, and in front of the formation, people kept falling off their horses, and there were constantly war horses falling.

However, although the strong crossbow is beneficial, it can only establish the initial psychological advantage. After all, a crossbow is not a machine gun, as long as there are enough bullets and the barrel allows, it can continue to burst and thrust all the time.

In the end, it is the people who determine the success or failure of the battle.

At a distance of two hundred paces, two cavalry teams that were also charging at a rapid pace could collide in just a dozen breaths.

The chaotic formation of the Hun cavalry because of their desperate escape also saved many lives. Because the Vermilion Bird Army was in a hurry and traveled a long distance, although the formation was much better than that of the Hun barbarians who fled for their lives, it was also not strictly organized.

However, fortunately, Hu Hai's attention to and improvement of the lives of the Qin soldiers in the Bashang battalion finally played a role at this time, at least the vast majority of the Suzaku army had mild or no night blindness, or maybe some people began to have night blindness like the Huns, but it was eliminated through several months of training.

In the dark night, and in the face of nearly three times the Hun cavalry, being able to see things with torches is the biggest advantage of the Suzaku Army over the Hun barbarians in addition to equipment and war horses.

The two cavalry, one in confusion and one scattered and galloping, collided violently in the thunderous roar of horses' hooves.

Blood was splashed everywhere, accompanied by the shining light of the blade, I don't know how many Hun cavalry who couldn't see things clearly, only felt an itch on their necks, and then the head that flew high clearly saw the headless body below that was still sitting on a war horse and colliding with the Qin people.

Countless pillars of hot blood that rose to the sky seemed to make the air they breathe bloody!

The two cavalry relied on their horses and turned over with the help of galloping horses, and at the same time they were fiercely embedded in the opponent's formation, and their teeth were staggered.

The brutal battle had already begun at the moment when the two cavalry collided.

If when the two armies collided, the Hun cavalry could still rely on the collision of the war horses under their crotch to cause damage to the Suzaku army, then when the two cavalry fought together, the Hun barbarians could only lead the neck to be killed.
