The difficulty of the Qin army crossing the border for the first time was even greater than expected, after all, the Huns, as a nomadic people, were more adaptable than the Qin.

The long supply lines of the Qin army were exposed to the iron hooves of the Xiongnu.

Ma Jin was excited, and the Huns on the opposite side were equally excited.

Hu Yan Evil is the main general of this surprise cavalry army, and he has never trusted the command ability of the Right Virtuous King Zhelan Songhua, but the strength of the Zhelan tribe is much stronger than his Huyan tribe, and Da Dan Yu Mao Dun's order Hu Yan Evil does not dare to openly disobey.

This time, Zhelan Songhua was stimulated by the Qin army's outflanking back road, as if it had opened its mind, and was also preparing to attack the Qin army's long supply line, and this task was also handed over to the Huyan tribe.

No matter what, a Shangguan who can tolerate people still has a good belly.

From Jincheng to Wusheling Ridge, Hu Yanyi had already tracked the Qin army's baggage troops all the way, originally, he also intended to directly lead the army to attack Jincheng, but after a far search on the periphery, Hu Yanyi gave up.

Hu Yanye only hopes that this sabotage battle can completely cut off the supply line of the Qin army without much effort. Instead of losing a lot of money to win a victory, because every male of the Huyan tribe is a valuable human asset.

The roaring Huns and the Qin army's baggage troops were getting closer and closer, and the convoys of grain were like women in open clothes, unguarded to greet the guests who raped him.

"Sons, kill them, rob the weapons of the Qin people, and burn their grain. haha。 Hu Yanxie shouted triumphantly.

The impatient Huns were like a group of crazy hot-headed whores, and they didn't look at the trap or anything else in front of them, so they rushed over with all their might.

Surprise and sabotage.

is like a pair of twin brothers, who have staged tragicomedy countless times on the battlefield. This time, the direct opponents of the Qin and Hungarian armies. It is the battle-hardened veteran Zhang Han and the young and vigorous Huyan tribe chief Hu Yanxi.

"The Huns, the Huns have been slaughtered! About 10,000 people! The Qin army ranger in charge of the patrol shouted loudly, leaning on the back of the horse, and behind him was a series of dripping blood beads, these not elite Qin army scouts exhausted all their strength and blood in order to send back the military intelligence first.

The Huns attacked.

This is bad news, for 20,000 new soldiers, in such a field battle, encountering cavalry is basically equivalent to receiving a death notice.

Fortunately. They also have an experienced commander of the army, Zhang Han has experienced dozens of battles, large and small, and each time he faces a different situation, and Zhang Han, who can lead a group of prisoners to defeat Chen Shengjun in danger, is by no means a person who is fixed and does not know how to change.

"Order: The whole army unties the reins of the mules and horses, moves the grain to the mountain, and all the chariots are surrounded by a crescent arc formation for defense!" Zhang Han's old face showed a mocking smile.

"Makin, you command the crossbowmen. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd platoons are ready, wait for the enemy to get close to the distance, and shoot them! Zhang Han's orders came one after another, which gradually settled down in the hearts of the panicked soldiers.

Chariot Array.

Arc defense - .

These traditional combat methods of the Qin army were used by Zhang Han perfectly. Under the effect of the collective liliang, every single individual is protected by his companions, and he has the order to go to battle every time. It's all the result of a concerted effort. The team ability of the Qin army, under the command of Zhang Han, allowed the limited strength of the new soldiers to be brought into play and displayed to the greatest extent.

The gentle slope of the foothills of the Qilian Mountains. The slope is only about 30 degrees, and the slope of this point looks like a faint thick line extending from Xiangshang from a distance, but when you really get closer, you will find that Xiangshang is not an easy thing to climb. It took only a quarter of an hour for the Qin army to empty the grain and mule carts and build a seemingly inconspicuous chariot defense line along the slope.

If the Hun cavalry wanted to break through this chariot formation and threaten the Qin generals behind the chariot formation, they had to risk the horses' stumbling hooves. At the rear of the formation, there were groups of infantry archers with machine crossbows, and these new soldiers who had never experienced major battles trembled slightly, although their crossbow hands were trembling slightly.

Fortunately, with experienced generals such as Ma Jin suppressing them, the recruits finally stabilized their minds and began to focus on the Huns who were aiming at the attack.

"Two hundred paces, ready." The Qin army buglemen in charge of calibration shouted loudly.

"One hundred and fifty steps, first row, shoot!" Standing in the center of the first row, Ma Jin stared at his blood-red eyes and held his chest high. Under his demonstration, the crossbowmen calmed down, let the lookout mountain and the enemy cavalry aim in a parallel line, and then gently pulled the machine to blow, so that the arrows flew in the wind.

"One hundred steps, second row, shooting! Third row, ready. ”

"Put!"

"Put it again!"

The shouts came and went, accompanied by the whizzing sound of the machine, and there were bursts of helpless sorrows of war horses.

In front of them, the Hun cavalry rushing over moved slowly like drooping old men, and the war horses were wheezing fiercely in the back, and each step forward had to lift their front hooves twice as high as usual, which greatly increased the possibility of the high-headed horses being shot by crossbow arrows.

"Chief Huyan, the battle situation ahead is not good, the Qin army has set up a chariot formation and fired intensively with crossbow arrows, and our army has suffered great losses." The tragic battle situation in front of him pulled Hu Yanyi back from his dream, and he was stunned and didn't know what to do.

"Detour from the flanks." For a long time, Hu Yan, who was unwilling to give up, ordered with evil hatred.

"Great Chief, the Qin army is deployed in an arc formation, and there are mountain slopes as an obstacle, our cavalry cannot exert its speed, and this battle is really difficult to win." A Hun general sighed helplessly.

"Hey, who is the enemy general this time, did you ask clearly?" Hu Yanyi asked.

"It's an old guy surnamed Zhang, I heard that he used to be a famous general of the Qin State, and then he was dismissed after a big defeat, and this time he just recovered." Zhang Han's matter has reached the level of Da Dan Yu Maodun, so it is possible to know more clearly. The Huns of the Huyan tribe apparently did not know much about the situation in Qin.

"Cheap old fellow. We retreat! Look for another opportunity next time. Hu Yan took a sip of hatred, and in the face of increasing casualties, the Huns could not bear it.

Battle of Hexi.

Just in the confrontation between you advancing and retreating, you coming and going, slowly passed.

After suffering a big loss, Hu Yanye also learned well, he began to disperse the Hun cavalry, in the form of a small force to attack the Qin army's baggage troops, many of which no longer aim to approach, but directly throw torches and other attractive things, such a change in tactics, but also let the Qin army suffer some losses.

――。

On the Qilian Mountain.

The white snow line slowly moved up, and the dotted dome tents between the mountains swayed in the warm wind of early spring, and on the rocky Gobi desert below the snow line, the remnants of the Qin army and the Xiongnu gradually disappeared.

Late February.

The long-awaited alliance of the Western Regions finally appeared in the area of Bailongdui, and the determined King of Loulan dispatched 2,500 soldiers, plus the troops sent by various countries, this ragtag army composed of more than ten small countries numbered about 6,000 people, for the Sai people living in the desert area, such a liliang was enough to deter all countries.

An Qinglan led the army, Vice General Li Zhongxiang, such a device, at the beginning, there were generals from small countries who wanted to provoke, and then they fell silent one by one.

In front of the prestige of the divine marksman Li, any prince and fierce general are all dead souls under the arrow.

On February 26, the coalition army broke through Dunhuang City, and killed the remaining Xiongnu Qianchang in one fell swoop, and on the 27th, the coalition army entered Juyanhai and swept away the nomadic Xiongnu tribes here.

On March 1, Cao Xin's attacking troops and the Western Regions coalition army met in Juyanhai, and the combined number of soldiers of the two armies reached more than 10,000 people.

The two armies fought in the area of Bailongdui, and as a result, Zhelanlei fought all the battles and died in the desert, and more than 7,000 people in his department were also killed by the Cao and Li coalition forces.

On the first line of Wusheling Ridge, the right virtuous king Zhelan Songhua suffered defeat in the case of insufficient troops, and had to retreat from Gushui to the foot of Gaizang City, and this rammed earth city wall has now become his only barrier. In the case of being really compelled, Zhelan Songhua began to complain to Da Dan Yu Mao, asking for reinforcements to arrive soon.

Hearing that the war in Hexi was unfavorable, Mao Dun was furious, he thought that with more than 80,000 elite cavalry, against the Qin army that was less than himself, even if he could not win quickly, he would not fail, but the urgent report of the orchid pine flower made his originally optimistic mood nervous.

After weighing it, Mao Dun decided to draw the main Xiongnu force from the battle against the remnants of the Guifang tribe in Mobei to reinforce the Hexi area, after all, this Silk Road was also the main supply lifeline of the Huns.

Just as Mao Dun was about to personally lead the army to the west, he suddenly heard that the Qin army in the Hetao area had a change in the north, which surprised him, thinking that this was Li Yuan's deliberate intention to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu.

Mao Dun, who was teased by Li Yuan, calmed down immediately under the anger, and he quickly ordered the Xiongnu army to reinforce the Hexi area, as for Jiuyuan and Hetao, Mao Dun decided to give up first, these places are closer to Mobei, and it is easier to recapture them. (To be continued......)
