The attack happened very suddenly, and Wei Liang, the captain of the Qin Military Academy, never thought that he would be ambushed by the Huns only twenty miles away from Qi County!

20,000 Hun cavalry in the wilderness let the Qin army see the terrible impact of cavalry! Although the Qin army also had 20,000, it was 20,000 foot soldiers, and it was 20,000 light infantry who were exhausted after trekking hundreds of miles! In the wilderness, in the face of the charging cavalry army, once the light infantry cannot be assembled into a phalanx, what awaits them will be a massacre!

The Qin army has done a lot of massacres, but they are often the one who carries a long sword and chases the north, like now, desperately gathering to save their lives, there are very few cases!

Wei Liang did not hesitate for a minute, and the moment he found that the Hun cavalry appeared in sight, he immediately sent 3,000 soldiers to block the Xiongnu army and buy time for the assembly of the main force. It's better to say it's to block, it's better to go to death!

Everyone knows that in the face of the 20,000 Hun cavalry whose speed has risen, no matter how many foot soldiers launch a counter-charge, it is just a mantis arm as a car, and they are not self-sufficient! Not to mention that there are only 3,000 people! Their biggest role is to use their lives to buy a moment for the main force! As for surviving, that's a luxury!

The Qin army gritted its teeth and quickly stood up under the shouts of generals at all levels, relying on the hard training of the Qin army on weekdays, but in a moment's effort, a defensive formation began to see scale! The price paid by the Qin army was that the 3,000-strong partial division completely annihilated the Xiongnu!

However, even so, all the Qin army could do to defend was to let three or five people hold a long ge or spear and aim it in the direction of the Xiongnu. Resisting the onslaught of cavalry with flesh and blood is completely sending people to death, but if there are more dead people, the speed of the Huns will slow down. When the time comes, the Huns can certainly be condescending, but their scimitars are destined to be unable to reach the Qin army. However, the Qin army could either chop off the horse's legs, or use Changge to hook the Hun soldiers on horseback, and get rid of the situation of being beaten.

It's a pity that the invading Huns seem to have seen through the tricks of the Qin army, they just drew a beautiful arc, which is also the arc of death. The continuous rain of arrows weakened the Qin army's will to resist. Separated by a distance of more than 100 steps, the Xiongnu tortured and killed the Qin army to their heart's content, and it seemed that they had been repeatedly frustrated by Qi County before retaliating.

The Qin army was in a dilemma all of a sudden, launch a charge, the Xiongnu could completely re-distance or cut off the Qin army that was scattered in formation, and annihilate it; Blindly defend it, the weapons in your hands can't reach the Huns, and in order to speed up, the Qin army carried very few shields. The idea of using a shield array to alleviate casualties is undoubtedly shattered! It is true that the Qin army is forbearant and good at fighting, but when did the Qin army be so aggrieved that he could only be beaten and could not fight back? Wei Liang promised that if this lasted for an hour, his army would completely collapse!

Of course, no matter how good the Huns' arm strength is, they can't hold on to releasing arrows for such a long time! But the Huns didn't need to take so long at all, they only needed to put a dozen rounds of arrows. Shoot and kill the soldiers at the front who are armed with Changge and spears, and they can rush into the Qin army's formation, which is not strong, when the time comes. The only ones who can stop the Huns from winning are themselves!

The Xiongnu fought this idea, and Yiqu Hong sent a partial division to Shan Yujian to ambush south of Qi County, so that not only could it cut off the connection between Qi County and Xianyang. can also know everything about the reinforcements from Xianyang, and warn them in time. If the Qin reinforcements act in unison, the Xiongnu division can attack its tail and frustrate the Qin army's spirit; If the Qin army stretched the line too long, the Xiongnu division could ambush the vanguard of the Qin army.

Now. The Qin army rescued Qi County, 20,000 pioneers broke away from the main force, for the sake of speed, but also abandoned fostering, which was really a God-given opportunity for the Huns! In the eyes of the Huns, the few chariots of the Qin army were just decorations, and the pikemen and Changge soldiers who were really threatening suffered heavy casualties under the rain of arrows from the Huns. The Huns shouted excitedly, as if they saw that victory was close at hand!

The thin outer defense of the Qin army was broken by the light poke of the Huns, and it was broken after only a cup of tea, like a hungry wolf breaking into the flock, and the Huns looked for the nearest prey. It's a pity that the Huns forgot that some sheep were not docile lambs, but rams with sharp horns. The archers of the Qin army who suddenly appeared shot the arrows in their hands in the shortest time, and the Xiongnu looked at the archers of the Qin army in amazement, but they could not change the fate of falling like wheat.

From the very beginning, the Qin army hid the archers, not only because the number of archers in the Qin army was only a thousand, and if they were shot against 20,000 Hun cavalry who were good at cavalry archery, they would be quickly exhausted, but also because the archers were used by Wei Liang as a surprise army at the moment of attack.

The most important thing for cavalry is speed, otherwise, it is not as good as infantry. Wei Liang deliberately sacrificed more than 2,000 people in the outermost part of the country, first relaxed the vigilance of the Huns, and when the speed of the Huns slowed down, he shot the Huns who rushed to the front with 1,000 archers. In this way, the follow-up Xiongnu army will lose speed, and these ownerless war horses can even be used as a line of defense between the Qin army and the Xiongnu. Even if the Xiongnu withdrew in time, the Qin army could use this time to rearrange the defenses.

The battle situation was just like Wei Liang's deduction, after discovering that the front army had fallen one by one, some of the Hun soldiers who followed up wanted to dismount to find cover, and some wanted to rush to the front to see the Qin army clearly, but they were blocked by dead corpses and dead horses all over the ground, and the speed slowed down suddenly.

The Qin army took advantage of the situation to regain the morale of the army and launched a counter-charge, and for a while, the two sides fought on a par. The Qin army had the courage not to be afraid of death, and the Xiongnu had the pride of being the descendants of wolves.

The Xiongnu could not retreat, because in the blood of the Xiongnu, it was a shame to be shot in the back, and the Qin army could not retreat, because if the Xiongnu could not be entangled, the Xiongnu might learn a lesson and beat the Qin army with a continuous rain of arrows.

If it weren't for the 10,000 cavalry of the Qin army rushing to the aid in time, perhaps to the end, the Xiongnu would have annihilated the vanguard of the Qin army with heavy casualties. But the arrival of 10,000 Qin cavalry changed this qiē!

It is undeniable that the cavalry is very mobile, but it also consumes a lot of grain and grass! The king of Qin finally gathered the cavalry from all over the country, gathered an army of 10,000, and handed it over to the command of the Duke of Qi, although at this time the army of the Duke of Qi had been away for ten days. When this cavalry caught up with Duke Qi, Duke Qi thought about it for a while, and asked the 10,000 cavalry to go to join Wei Liang's army and gallop to aid Qi County. I didn't expect to hurry up. Just saved Wei Liang's army!

The Huns were rarely decisive, and when they found that 10,000 Qin troops appeared on the horizon, they decisively gave up the entanglement with the Qin army, but followed the trail and quickly disappeared into this battlefield! It's hard to imagine if it weren't for the dead bodies all over the ground. Just now, the Xiongnu appeared and broke out a tragic battle with the Qin army!

In the battle, the Qin army lost more than 7,000 people, and the Huns only left more than 1,000 corpses, there is no doubt that the Qin army suffered a big loss!

After a little discussion with Wei Liang and the cavalry captain Ying Fang, they decided not to entangle with this Xiongnu division, not only because they were afraid that the Xiongnu might attack again with the strategy of attacking the east and the west. It is also because Qi County is in danger, and it is a victory to arrive at Qi County a moment earlier!

In their own name, the two informed the Duke of Qi that there was a Xiongnu army of about 20,000 people south of Qi County, and they didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, so they went directly to Qi County.

Qi County, the Xiongnu's offensive is like the waves of the sea, endless, and the small Qi County is like a reef on the coast. Although it seems to be swallowed by the sea every time, it always quickly emerges in the stormy waves!

The Huns knew that the Qin army was already at the end of its power. I didn't care about any strategy at all, but fought with the Qin army for casualties, even if it was three or four Hun soldiers for a Qin army, the Huns would not hesitate!

Qin Jun knew that reinforcements were behind him, and he might even be entering the city, so he gritted his teeth and insisted. It's not just about staying alive. It's also for the military exploits that have been made before! After all, in the Qin State, the dead can't make war exploits! If the defenders of Qixian County are wiped out, Xianyang is just grieving, who will care about their own life or death!

The Qin army did not work hard, but the number of Xiongnu was too much. That's enough to make you feel hopeless! Many people died silently, and in the end, the Qin army found that there were more and more scimitars from both sides, which showed that the flanks of the Qin army could no longer support it.

But in the deepest part of despair is hope, and those who are brave and persistent can always be rewarded! Just when Wang Jian felt that he had no chance to wait for reinforcements, the reinforcements finally arrived!

More than 10,000 new troops of the Qin army poured into the city, not only stabilizing the Qin army's position at once, but also forcing the Xiongnu to retreat! The Huns, who were watching the battle from afar, realized lonely that perhaps, Qi County would no longer be able to attack!

At the sound of the whining horn, the Huns retreated! The surviving Qin army looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west, some were moved to tears, some yelled excitedly, some were silent, and some were stunned.

Until "Wind! Wind! Wind! Gale! "Resounding throughout this world, all the Qin troops laughed and roared victory! The Huns, don't want to break through the city they are guarding again!

At this moment of cheering, no one realized that there were less than 2,000 of the 53,000 elite Qin army elites who originally guarded Qi County, that is to say, in just eighteen days of offensive and defensive battles, the Qin army lost more than 50,000 people in Qi County! Although there are 100,000 Huns who hate this, compared to the Qin State at this time, if you want to leave these 100,000 Hun elite horsemen without going all out, it is tantamount to a fool's dream!

After the reinforcements from Qixian arrived, the Xiongnu never launched another siege, but there was no sign of retreat. The Qin army carefully guarded against the Xiongnu, and it was not until a day later that the 80,000 main force led by Duke Qi arrived in Qi County, and the defenders of Qi County were relieved! Everyone knew that if they wanted to capture Qi County, which was guarded by more than 100,000 Qin troops (10,000 of which were Great Qin Iron Cavalry), 100,000 Huns alone was not enough, except that the Qin army could defeat itself by itself, and the Xiongnu did not have half a point to bargain for the Qin State.

Compared with the joy and morale of Qi County, the big tent of the Xiongnu was undoubtedly filled with a sad atmosphere. Eighteen days of hard work were in vain after all, and besides, the Huns had not much food and grass. Perhaps, the only thing that the Xiongnu nobles are happy about is that because half of the army was lost under the small Qixian county, now the Huns' grain and grass are enough for a month, fifteen days ago, this number is still a month, which is not a huge irony!

Although the Xiongnu Shan Yu had already received a report from the partial division south of Qi County, and successfully ambushed the Qin army twice, annihilating tens of thousands of Qin troops, such a victory was obviously insignificant in front of the overall shape.

Just quit the army? All of them are not reconciled! But if you don't retreat, maybe all these 100,000 troops will stay here! The wealth and status that he values will all be inherited by the cronies left behind in the grassland. After all, the number of Qin troops in Qi County is no less than himself! The chances of the Huns defeating are already very slim, very slim, unless, a miracle happens!

But even then, no one dared to propose to withdraw from the army! Because who proposed to withdraw from the army. It is undoubtedly saying that Shan Yu's previous decision was wrong! The angry Shan Yu may split this man's five horses! No one wants to take such a risk. Therefore, in the big tent, all the Xiongnu nobles lowered their heads and listened to Shan Yu's orders, that is, they did not express their opinions, even if they were named by name. The Xiongnu nobles also said that they obeyed Shan Yu's orders!

"Shan Yuke still remembers the agreement with South Korea?" In the end, it was Yiqu Hong who broke the movement in the big tent.

"Is the Marquis of the Right Bone talking about the joint attack on Qin?" Shan Yu stared at Yiquhong's eyes and said in a deep voice.

At the beginning, South Korea sent an envoy to the grassland, clearly pointing out that it would not be long before the four countries of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu would jointly attack South Korea. Korea hoped that the Xiongnu could help it defeat the Qin state. The promised conditions are extremely good!

In the early stage, South Korea will take a defensive position against Zhao, and the main energy will be used to defeat Qi and Chu, and the Qin State will lure the enemy deeper. In this way, the Qin army could not be strong from head to end. The state of Qin will be defeated!

Yiquhong nodded and said, "Shan Yu Yingming! Now that we have been attacking Qin for a long time, I think about it, South Korea is also attacking Qin more than once. In the opinion of the minister, you might as well wait for ten days and half a month before making a conclusion! ”

Shan Yu nodded slightly. Although the Qin army was numerous, it was still difficult to defeat itself. In terms of field warfare, the Huns will not be afraid of the Qin army! It took ten days and half a month, and it was enough for the army to return to the grassland safely! If there is a variable, the Huns will enjoy it. Dip the light of South Korea and loot Guanzhong!

"I have heard that there are Tongguan and Yaoguan in Qin, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for South Korea to attack it!" Xiongnu Shan Yu said worriedly.

If you think about it, South Korea can't completely count on it, can it only wait for ten days and half a month to withdraw its troops? In this way, when they return to the grassland, some people will definitely question their decision to send troops to attack Qin, and they will not set off a bloody storm!

"No matter how steep the Qin Pass is, it needs someone to guard it! As long as the South Korean army continues to attack and does not care about casualties, where can it be overcome! What's more, there are three roads in Hanzhong that can reach Guanzhong, and Nanyang and Sanchuan also have one road each, and the Qin State is absolutely unguardable! Moreover, as long as we do not retreat for a day, the 100,000 Qin troops in Qi County will not dare to move for a day, if at this time the Qin State is defeated in Hedong or the defenders on the pass are insufficient, they can only negotiate peace with us, if they do not negotiate peace, we will let the Qin State see that there are 100,000 troops but they can't use it! Yiquhong said.

"Peace?" Xiongnu Shan Yu muttered.

Indeed, as Yiquhong said, as long as South Korea has the courage, it can always attack Tongguan and Yaoguan to the ground, forcing Qin to have to draw troops from Qi County, at this time, the possibility of Qin negotiating peace is still very high! Even if peace is not negotiated, the Xiongnu can make the Qin State unable to move and tie their hands and feet! It's also a pleasure to make your enemies so uncomfortable, isn't it?!

However, if the Qin State really comes to negotiate peace, will he agree or not?! The Huns began to tangle with each other! Say yes! It's as if it's easy to buy! If you don't agree, you will lose the benefits! Do you have to be a villain who doesn't believe in his word?! Never mind! Never mind! Xiongnu Shan Yu quickly gave up this idea, and instead began to think about whether to wait, after all, if you wait, you will have to pay a risk!

"What do you think of the opinion of the right bone marquis?" Shan Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Shan Yu, are the Central Plains people reliable?" General Zuo asked with a big grin.

"South Korea is known for its faithfulness, and over the years, there has been no violation of the covenant!" Yiquhong said lightly.

"That's for them in the Central Plains, if they lose trust, other countries are not willing to cooperate with South Korea! But after all, we are the descendants of wolves, far away, untrustworthy to us, we are far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and there is no way to take them! General Zuo's words revealed cunning.

Shan Yu looked at Yiqu Hong with a stern face, the only minister who had dealt with the Qin State and was familiar with the situation of the Central Plains countries, and asked, "Is it possible that General Zuo said?!" ”

Yi Quhong replied without leaking, neither admitting nor denying it, but said: "Whether there is a snow disaster or not is the will of God, and whether Korea violates the covenant or not, the minister has no way of knowing!" But the minister thought that over the years, South Korea had always regarded the Qin State as a great enemy in his life, and he was eager to divide the land, destroy the country, and eliminate its society, and now it was the best opportunity for South Korea to destroy the Qin State in one fell swoop! If the Korean monarch is not confused, he will not let go of this opportunity! Our Huns sent troops this time, and the next time, I don't know when! ”

Yu laughed after hearing this, he had also heard about the deeds of King Han, and it took more than a little courage to develop South Korea, a country that survived in the cracks, into the largest country in the Central Plains within ten years, but also excellent luck or planning! At least for now, it is more in the interests of South Korea to help the Xiongnu than to sit back and let the Xiongnu and Qin fight for a defeat or even an alliance! (To be continued......)
