Chapter 296: Attack the Rear

Teffler was covered in blood.

On the arrogant face, there was no longer the usual arrogance, and the tenacity and courage of the Qin cavalry on the opposite side made him feel fearful when he had always thought of himself as a warrior.

Luo Jia's situation is not much stronger than Tie File, he was already injured in battle, this time he fought with a negative spirit, and the generals under his command were also brave and everyone competed for the lead, and in the case of the same number as the Tie Fu tribe, the Qin army gradually gained the upper hand.

"The Qin people dare to go head-to-head?"

"The strange saddle, and the set on the foot, what is it that can make the Qin people sit so firmly on the horse." After having doubts in their hearts, the fighting spirit of the Tiefu people became lower and lower.

With such a surprised idea, it is not Tiefler alone, all along, although the Hun generals are jealous of the Qin army, but they are mainly afraid of the Qin army's crossbow intensive shooting, for close combat, especially immediate melee, the Huns have always been very confident, but today, everything is turned upside down.

"Listen to the warriors of the Tiefu tribe, the virtuous king has an order, and those who kill the three Qin barbarians in battle today will be rewarded!" Just as Tefler decided to retreat, the mocking voice of Zhelanlei rang out.

Morning.

Tiefler, who was still laughing at Zhelan Lei and did not dare to go into battle, finally tasted the taste of retribution, and the addition of the Zhelan tribe made him completely unable to retreat, and on the side of the Qin army, seeing the other party's increase in troops, the Qin army quickly invested another wave of cavalry to participate in the battle.

Li Yuan watched from beginning to end as he sent one group after another of Qin cavalry to the battlefield, which was a contest of resolute will, and also a contest between the Qin people and the Huns. Li Yuan wanted to use the method that the Huns were most proud of to defeat their opponents, so that they would completely lose their sense of superiority on the battlefield.

Cover the city under the city.

Valley Water Valley.

The ownerless war horse, the corpse of the soldier who fell to the ground, and the broken flag, in a wordless telling of the cruelty of this war, from this day, the confrontation between the Qin and Hungarian armies began with fierce competition again and again.

――。

At the same time as the bloody battle of Gaizang City. The Qin general Cao believed in Li Yuan's general orders and led 3,000 carefully selected Yue clan soldiers to embark on a lonely journey deep behind enemy lines.

It is a route that no one walks. Starting from the southern foot of the Wusheling Mountains, drill into the vast snow-covered Qilian Mountains. Then inserted into the narrow valley and alpine plain between the Qilian Mountains and the Yanzhi Mountains, Zuihou appeared in front of the Huns with a sudden attitude.

With their familiarity with the Hexi Corridor, the route chosen by the Kotsuki clan was located in the ravines of the deep mountains, and only herders who herded on herds in Pingsuri would take such a dangerous path. This road is the marching plan finally given by the people of the Xiaoyue clan after integrating many aspects, looking at the trembling appearance of his subordinates with red eyes and hands holding weapons, even Cao Xin, who has always had thick lines, can't help but be moved.

This time, the people of the Xiaoyue clan regained their courage with infinite attachment to their homeland and bitter hatred for the Huns taking away their homeland. Pick up your sword and hold your chest up.

The grass where the snow gradually clears looks like a soft mat covered with a thick grass blanket, if such a grass mat lacks vision and experience, it is a trap when you step on it, and once you fall into it, there is basically no hope of survival, and marching on the meadow not long after saving yourself is a test of human courage.

Cao Xinshen walked in the Qilian Valley with one foot and one shallow foot. Through the gaps in the straw mat, you can see that a few young grasses that are anxious to get out of the way quietly poke their heads out, as if they are singing to all the lives that have passed, in the direction of the Qin army's march. From time to time, birds are startled and flapping their wings in a daze, trying to divert this group of enemies that threaten the nest.

"Shoot!" The arrows in the army were shot accurately, causing the startled birds to fall straight from mid-air.

This time the attack was carried out in secret. Any negligence can bring about ruin, and the falling birds will fall straight into the mud swamp. The generals of the Yue clan, who only cared about the march, focused all their attention on scouting the enemy, and the temptation of food became insignificant in the face of the pressure of revenge.

"General, after the deep meadow in front, it is Yanzhi Mountain, let's rest here first, and then attack after the scouts find out the location of the Xiongnu tribe!" Captain Yue, who led the way, cautiously returned from the meadow with an excited face, and said in a low voice.

"Remember: we are the soldiers of Great Qin, we are brave and fearless, and we are invincible! Don't let the Qiang barbarians and the Hun barbarians underestimate us. Cao Xin's bronze bell-like eyes erupted with blazing flames.

First Battle.

If the first battle of looting can be successful, the Yueshi people can use this as a springboard to obtain a series of information about the Xiongnu tribe, which is very important for the Qin army whose situation is still unclear, on the contrary, if it loses, and is expelled into the meadow by the Huns, the Qin army will be in danger of annihilation when it is about to run out of dry food and have no other supplies.

――。

A white dome tent dotted on the sunny slope, here is the northern foot of Yanzhi Mountain, the sacred place of the Yueshi people in the past.

Now, this is the pasture of the Xiongnu Zhelan tribe.

On the edge of the dome, several sturdy war horses were tied to wooden stakes, and they were gnawing on the grass roots under the snow with their heads down, and next to them, a strong Hun man who had lost his legs was looking at his empty lower body with infinite nostalgia, where, except for the two normal legs, in fact, even the one with the dignity of a man no longer existed.

A year ago, following in the footsteps of the Xiaoyue clan's escape, this Xiongnu warrior entered the Great Wall and the rich country of the clansmen's dreams - Qin.

Since King Youxian captured a beautiful and moving Qin woman as the Eryan clan, the Zhelan tribe has been honored to be able to conquer the Qin woman under the crotch.

"It's a pity, it's just a little bit, if it's faster, maybe Lao Tzu is already the right general." The former Hun officer sighed and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a look of horror appeared in his eyes, and a strange procession appeared at the end of the meadow and snow-capped mountains not far away.

Some of them were on horseback, some on foot, and some were dressed in the pastoral robes of the Yueshi people in the past, and such a disparate procession made the wounded Hun old soldier feel dangerously close.

"There is an enemy!"

He screamed as he struggled to grab a stick from the grass next to him, the soldier's instinct was still there, but the remaining half of his body was no longer as flexible as it once was.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow came and nailed straight to the throat of the Huns' wounded soldiers, making this guy who fantasized about being promoted and making a fortune completely lose his thoughts.

Seeing that the Xiongnu tribe was in front of them, the Xiaoyue people swallowed the cold frozen snow in a big gulp, and quickly took out sharp arrows from the quiver, shooting while running is the specialty of the grassland people, when a branch of arrows was shot into the Huns' resting place intensively, only the old and weak Zhelan tribe camp suddenly fell into chaos.

It was a one-sided massacre.

The process is exactly the same as when the Huns occupied Hexi and expelled the Yueshi people, for many years, this kind of war between the grassland peoples has been repeated, one tribe has died out, and the other tribe has become strong again.

Only paid the price of more than ten wounded and five killed, Cao Xin's Yue soldiers reaped the first heavy fruit on the road of surprise attack.

With the first harvest, Cao Xin is full of confidence.

In the following month, this Qin army composed of Yueshi people made a roundabout flank attack between two mountains and one sea, and harassed the Xiongnu tribes to unspeakable misery, and had no choice but to withdraw the first part of Zhelanlei from the Wusheling line to protect his pasture.

At the same time, inspired by the Qin army's attack on the rear road, Hu Yanxie led 10,000 elite soldiers from the grassland in the north to the rear of the Qin army to destroy the supply lines of the Qin army. After these two Liliang forces were dispatched, the Huns on the front line of Gaizang City switched from attacking to defending, only relying on the favorable terrain to hold on, and almost no longer took the initiative to launch any attacks on the main force of the Qin army, and the Hexi war situation immediately turned from the first stage of the encounter to a protracted war of mutual destruction.

――。

Golden City.

Located west of the Great River, this emerging city was the youngest city of the Qin State, and it was now an important supply point for the Qin army in Hexi.

The weapons made by the troops from Jinyang, Nanzheng, and Lishan, the grain from Bashu, and the changes in the military situation in the Kanto region transmitted from Chang'an City will first be transferred in Jincheng and then sent to the Gushui front.

This time, Zhang Han personally escorted 5,000 stone of wheat to the Qin army camp, and in order to ensure the safety of the trip, the veteran chose a safe route.

From Jincheng along the road at the foot of the Qilian Mountain to the west, although the distance is farther, but in terms of security can be guaranteed to a certain extent, a high mountain makes the Qin army, which is dominated by foot soldiers, can choose to climb halfway up the mountain to build a temporary chariot formation to defend when encountering the Hun cavalry, and the Huns' war horses will also lose the speed advantage when attacking from the back.

Dressed in the black armor of an ordinary Qin soldier and carrying a bronze sword in his hand, Ma Jin commanded a group of soldiers to carry grain and straw to the mule cart, which was his first expedition after re-enlisting.

The glory of yesteryear is gone.

Everything new has started again, and the veteran of the Qin army, who is eager to prove himself again, is not only Ma Jin, in his team, there are no less than twenty former soldiers who have returned from Pengcheng.

Ma Jin had a one-sided acquaintance with his old superior, Zhang Han, in this 20,000-strong logistics recruit army that lacked grassroots officers, an experienced officer like Ma Jin was extremely valuable, and Zhang Han appointed him as a military marquis of the first part of the former army after considering Ma Jin's ability.

Compared with the lieutenant, there is a level gap between the military marquis and the school captain.

For Ma Jin, this was his new beginning, so when he saw the scout's rapid figure rushing towards him from a distance, Ma Jin's scarred face showed a smile eager to fight.

"Come on, Hun barbarian, taste Grandpa Ma's awesomeness!" Ma Jin is high-spirited, and the indomitable image of his rival Han Si in the predicament makes him feel deeply humiliated, and now he wants to prove himself, prove it to his women and daughters, he Ma Jin is also a strong man.
