Chapter Seventy-Four: Half-Crossing Strike

After Du Li Hu Ci finished speaking, he wanted to withdraw the army, but he was unwilling, for fear that the news of running away when he saw the Qin army before an arrow was released would damage his prestige. He stretched out his hand to summon a personal entourage and instructed him to bring a few condor archers forward to test the Qin army.

The Condor Archer is the best archery in the Hun army, that is, the archer. Du Li Hu Ci sent them to test the reality of the Qin army.

I saw that five people in the Xiongnu army broke away from the military formation, and when they walked to the place of about one and a half arrows in front of the Qin army, they stopped their horses, waved the bow and arrow in their hands and whined at the Qin army, full of provocation.

Several soldiers of the Qin army greeted him with sabers. When the Huns saw it, not only were they not afraid, but they laughed loudly, opened their bows and shot sharply, and the Qin soldiers also opened their bows to fight back. Of course, the archery skills of the Xiongnu condor shooters are not comparable to ordinary Qin soldiers, and in a short time, all five Qin soldiers were shot down, and the Xiongnu did not have a single casualty.

The Condor Archer put away his bow and arrows, laughed proudly, and gave a thumbs up to Qin Jun, with extreme contempt. There was a burst of cheers in the Hun army, and they all applauded loudly.

This was a sudden commotion in the Qin army's array, and a knight with a white horse and black armor suddenly rushed out. The Hun Condor Archers didn't care, but unexpectedly, the white horse knight opened his bow and shot from an arrow away, and a Hun Condor Archer screamed and fell down with an arrow.

The remaining four Huns were shocked, and hurriedly shouted and shot back. The knight was not afraid, and rode up to meet him, and when he saw the arrows coming, he waved his bow and easily separated them, dodging the gaps and shooting several times, and the arrows did not leave the vital point. In a moment's effort, all five Hun condor archers were killed.

The Hun army was silent, and all ploughed Hu Ci's gloomy face, and his face was very ugly. This Condor Archer is the pride of the Huns, the sharpshooter who chose one out of ten thousand, was actually easily solved by the Qin people with one enemy and five enemies, such a miracle, how can it not make the Huns shocked.

There was a thunderous cheer in the Qin army, and the knight slowly paced his horse to the front of the Huns, and when he saw his appearance, it was a very young man, it was Han Xin.

I saw Han Xin tied the bow on his back and gave a thumbs up to return the salute.

Du Lihu Ci's face was pale, and with a wave of his hand, a thousand commanders beside him understood, and more than 100 horsemen rushed forward, wanting to kill this Qin man.

Seeing the Huns like this, Han Xin was not afraid, and looked coldly at the approaching Huns. This was an angry roar from the Qin army, and a young general with a heavy gun led dozens of people to kill, and crossed Han Xin and fought with the Huns.

These dozens of Qin troops are very good, and they will kill several times their own Huns, especially the current young general, more than 100 catties of big guns are brandished vertically and horizontally, invincible, and after a while, more than 100 Huns will be wiped out.

Wang Jing even carried the corpse of the thousand-commander with a big gun, and ran in front of the Huns with great martial arts, and the Huns were afraid of his might, and no one dared to go out to meet the battle.

Seeing that there was such a figure in the Qin army, Du Li Hu Ci couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and he was more and more sure that the Qin people must have an ambush. Looking at the grove behind the Qin army, he felt that the shadows of the trees that were blown by the wind seemed to be a dense Qin army, waiting for the opportunity to rush up and annihilate all his cavalry. The suspicion in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he gradually became afraid, and hurriedly ordered the team to evacuate quickly.

When the Qin army saw the Huns retreating, they did not chase after them, and still concentrated on camping there.

Du Li Hu Ci led his troops to run for nearly 100 miles, and met a part that came to meet him, so he felt a little at ease. He commanded them to go down and camp and rest, and at the same time sent a message to the other tribes, that they should come quickly to the meeting.

At night, he was also scared, for fear that the Qin people would take advantage of the darkness to sneak attack, so he forced the soldiers to patrol all night. At dawn, all the troops arrived, and they all counted the men and horses, and then the fear gradually disappeared, and they became full of confidence again, leading the army to the place they encountered yesterday.

I saw the camp tent of the Qin army from a distance, and I could vaguely see the soldiers patrolling the camp tower, and the camp was beating and agitating. With the Huci army in hand, he naturally would not hesitate any longer, the horn of the attack sounded, and tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops roared and rushed towards the camp of the Qin people.

When the killing was near, but the Qin people were not seen to fight, and the Xiongnu raised their hands and opened their bows to shoot down the Qin army on the lookout, but they shouted and found that it was the grass man wearing the armor of the Qin army. He rushed to the camp again, and saw a sturdy antelope hanging in front of a drum on the flat ground in the middle, and two drumsticks tied to its two front hooves. The earth-shattering drum sound just now was actually made in this way.

"King, there are words here."

Du Li Hu Ci looked forward with a black face, but saw a few big words written crookedly on the ground, 'Thank you for sending it'.

At this time, he didn't know what was the ambush, he was simply teased by Qin Jun. Du Li Hu Ci's eyes were about to split, but there was nowhere to vent the anger in his chest, he pulled out his scimitar and shouted wildly: "You dare to tease me, I will kill all of you and break your corpses into thousands of pieces." ”

Duli Hu Ci was red-eyed, got on his horse and led the army to chase forward, and after chasing for more than ten miles, the scouts in front found the traces of the Qin army. When Du Li Hu Ci heard this, it was like beating chicken blood, and he chased after him desperately.

Sure enough, the Qin army was found next to a riverside.

They seemed to be preparing to cross the river, and when they saw the Hun army chasing after them, they panicked and hurriedly urged their horses to cross the river. Fortunately, the water here is not too deep, only less than half of the horse's leg has just passed, although the Qin army is panicked, but still reluctantly crossed the river and rushed to the riverbank.

As soon as Du Li Hu Ci saw the Qin army fleeing, there was still the slightest hesitation in his heart, so he pointed his horsewhip and rushed over with a roar of the army behind him.

Tens of thousands of troops crossed the river in a chaotic manner, and the ranks of the troops were already chaotic at this time, and Du Li Hu Ci couldn't help but worry when he saw this situation, for fear that the Qin army would take advantage of this time to fight back.

Fortunately, the Qin army was too small in number, and it seemed that they had no intention of attacking when the Huns crossed the river, and just fled from a distance. Du Li Hu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, put his mind at ease, and rode across the river.

The Huns in the first part had already landed on the other side, and a swarm of bees rushed towards the Qin army, and the Qin army saw that there were many Huns, and they did not dare to fight, so they moved their horses and fled.

Du Li Hu Ci, who was in the middle of the river, laughed when he saw this, and loudly urged the soldiers to cross the river as soon as possible.

Looking at the scenery on the other side, Du Li Hu Ci suddenly remembered in his mind that this river was not the Santan River, and he had followed Shan Yu here to hunt at this time last year. I vaguely sensed that something was wrong in my mind, when he came here last year, the water still didn't pass the horse's belly, he led the horse to walk slowly before crossing the river, why did the water become so shallow this year, and there was a muddy shore on the shore, obviously the water had not been back for long.

Du Li Huci unconsciously stopped the horse, the worry in his heart became heavier and heavier, but he couldn't say what it was. Just as he was looking down and thinking about it, he suddenly heard thunder in the distance, and wondered how there could be thunder on this sunny day, so he looked into the distance.

This look was suddenly frightened, this is thunder, but it is a flood peak several meters high in the upper reaches of the river, and he suddenly realized that the Qin people must have blocked the water upstream, and then lured him in and released the water.

Du Li Hu Ci looked at the stunned soldiers beside him, opened his mouth and shouted loudly; "Run, cross the river." After saying that, he whipped his horse and struggled forward.

At this time, the Huns in the river also reacted, crying and shouting desperately rushed towards the banks of the river on both sides, but it was too late, more than 4,000 Hun soldiers in the river were instantly swept away by the flood peak, most of them climbed to the opposite bank, and the small half ran back.

Du Li Hu Ci rode a good horse on the grassland, and then ran to the other side and picked up a life. Turned over and dismounted, leaning on the horse's body and panting heavily, still frightened.

Suddenly, he felt the ground tremble slightly, and raised his head in horror to look into the distance, only to see a group of Qin army iron horsemen roaring towards him. The horse's hooves stepped down, and the earth trembled, and a sound struck the hearts of the panicked Huns, and everyone was stunned to see the iron horses rolling in the distance, their eyes wide open, and their faces full of horror.

After all, Du Li Hu Ci had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was the first to react, and shouted in a terrible voice; "Prepare for war."

The Huns, who were sleepwalking, reacted at this time, and hurriedly grabbed the weapons around them and turned over their horses to prepare for the battle, but it was too late, and the first round of arrow rain from the Qin people had already been shot.

Because of the distance, the first round of arrow rain of the Qin army was shot on horseback with the sky raised, the arrows crossed the arc in the air, and then fell from the sky with a sharp whistling sound, and the Huns let out a burst of screams in the formation, and many soldiers were even nailed to the ground by arrows, and they could not die for a while, and could only scream in that 'wow'.

Before the Huns could calm down, the second round of arrow rain came to their faces, this round was a flat shot, and hundreds of soldiers at the front of the team suddenly turned on their backs.

The land of an arrow came in an instant, and the iron cavalry of the Qin army came head-on, and with the help of the horse, it stabbed fiercely into the ranks of the Huns, and the saber brought a burst of flesh and blood flying.

The cavalry duel on the grassland, the heaviest horsepower, with the horsepower charge, is unstoppable and overwhelming. The Qin army rushed over, but the Huns only hurriedly met the battle, and the advantages and disadvantages were quickly distinguished. Although there were 15,000 Huns crossing the river, it was twice as many as the Qin army. But he was already frightened and had no fighting spirit, and was quickly divided by the neat queue of the Qin army, surrounded and annihilated.

In particular, the big gun in Wang Jing's hand has become a sign of the Huns' urging. Wang Jing was covered in blood and his face was hideous, and he saw the place where the Huns were resisting in formation, so he slammed into it, which was simply unstoppable. The Wang family's marksmanship was indeed born for war, and it was wielded by Wang Jing, and he only felt that it was incisive.

In just two moments, more than 15,000 Xiongnu troops were completely annihilated by 8,000 Qin troops, and even the right valley Liwang Du Hu Ci died in the chaos, and his head was cut off in half. The Qin army suffered very little losses, with only more than 500 soldiers killed or wounded.

More than 5,000 Huns on the other bank watched the slaughter on the other bank in amazement, but could not help anything, and when the killing sound on the opposite side gradually ended, a servant Wang who led the team was horrified to find that the river was actually slowly falling, I am afraid that it will not be long before the morale of the Qin army can cross the river to kill, so frightened that he hurriedly fell off his horse and ran. At this time, the Qin army had also discovered that the river was falling, so they crossed the river and chased all the way, beheading more than 3,000 people.

In the battle, the Huns' elite cavalry in Mobei was almost completely wiped out, except for less than 2,000 soldiers who fled back, and more than 23,000 people were lost in total including drowning.

There is no longer a force in Mobei that can threaten the safety of the Qin army, and after the defeat report of Su Buju Ciyun, he desperately recruited the people to strengthen the defense, and at the same time quickly went south to ask for help from Touman, and he no longer dared to take half a step out of Manchester City in the city. Other small tribes were terrified and left their ancestral habitats and migrated north to escape the Qin captivity.
