Chapter 196: Marksman
The Qin army is fighting back in an all-round way!
The combination of the three arms of the infantry and the crossbow made the Huns feel the gap between a single arm in terms of strain.
Hu Han Yan was panting, and just before Qin Qi retreated, he who was thinking of taking the opportunity to chase and kill, subconsciously raised his head, and found that he was being surrounded.
On both wings, there were two black torrents that were rapidly sweeping towards their own rear formations, and this was not counting, the main formation of the Qin army on the opposite side moved forward.
If the Qin army had put on this posture before the killing began, Hu Han Yan would not have been afraid, the three thousand tribe elite horsemen under his hand were all athletes on the grassland, even if the Qin people were doubled, they would not be able to regret their will to attack, but now, after the first wave of cavalry hedged, Hu Han Yan's desire to win was shaken.
The two cavalry armies on the left and right of the Qin people, the number of people is much worse than that of the Qin cavalry who rushed to kill in the first round, even if the combat power is slightly worse, it is estimated that it is not weak, plus there are thousands of foot soldiers on the front, this battle is a victory, and it is also the result of both defeats, and when it really comes, even if more baggage and slaves are captured, he will not be able to bring Han Yan back.
"Great Qin, Great Qin!"
The shouts of thousands of Qin generals resounded through the valley, overshadowing the chaotic shouts of the Huns.
The war drums burst out, like a sharp raindrop, crackling and crackling continuously, Hu Han Yan glanced at it from a distance, only to see the Qin army below the big Xu, a member of the Qin army stationed at the horse to rest, under the escort of all the pro-soldiers, is dispatching the various Qin armies to enter and encircle.
"Whoosh!"
Just when Hu Han Yan was retiring, the wind sounded in his ears, and a sharp arrow broke through the air. This arrow carries an invincible momentum, and Hu Hanyan's position can be accurately found in the chaotic group of horses, and the mastery of archery is really breathtaking.
Hu Han Yan hurriedly lowered his head, and the arrow shot over his head.
As soon as he got up, another arrow came, which can be regarded as Han Yan's riding skills. One was sideways behind the side of the war horse, and Fang Shi narrowly dodged another hidden arrow.
Being named one after another by the marksmen of the Qin army, Hu Han Yan had a nameless fire in his heart, when it came to archery, he was also outstanding among the Huns, and he was suppressed by the enemy at this time, so how could he calm down.
Take a bow and take an arrow.
Hu Hanyan turned over and quickly returned to the horse, holding the bow in both hands. Aiming at the way of the enemy arrow in the judgment, what caught his eye was not a Qin general, but a foot soldier wearing an ordinary Qin army armor, his appearance was not amazing, and his face was even a little green.
It was he who plotted against himself.
Hu Hanyan was speechless, he had always been full of confidence in his judgment ability, which was the experience accumulated in many years of fighting on the grassland. But whether this young Qin pawn was a murderer, or whether the real archery master was still hiding somewhere else, Hu Hanyan began to doubt.
"Whoosh!"
The young Qin pawn held his bow and shot another arrow steadily.
This time. Hu Hanyan really saw it, it was him, because the target of this arrow was himself.
Hu Hanyan, who was so frightened, couldn't care about anything anymore, and he hurriedly loosened the bowstring. Let the arrows drift to nowhere, and at the same time, suddenly tighten the reins of the horse. Let the front hooves of the mount be raised high to cover the upper half of your body.
"Porphyry!"
Arrows into the horse's body.
"Herod!" The war horse screamed for a while, and tears rolled down in the horse's eyes, and in the case of pain, even the most obedient healthy horse would no longer obey the master's command at this time.
"Withdraw!"
Hu Han Yan shouted out in a lost voice, at this time, even if he was dull, he knew that he was being targeted by the enemy's marksman, and if he took the risk of commanding again, it was estimated that his life would be lost sooner or later.
Do you continue to command, or retreat!
This single multiple-choice question, Hu Hanyan didn't think much about it, so he decided to choose the latter. Compared with saving his life, it is really not cost-effective to take a risk, if he dies in battle, the beautiful slave girl and those wealth robbed by the family will change masters.
Hu Han Yan urged repeatedly, his body no longer dared to stand up, he rode the wounded war horse and fled towards the way he came, and behind him, the Hun cavalry who heard the order also turned his horse's head, lowered his body and fled.
A plundering war, under the encirclement and annihilation of the Qin army, Zuihou became the result of the Huns being annihilated instead of robbing, Luo Jia's cavalry was close to the Huns' fleeing horses, and a chase and escape began.
――。
Li Yuan quietly watched the cavalry of the two sides gradually moving away, the scattered ownerless war horses screamed on the battlefield, and occasionally, one or two Hun horsemen who had not yet lost their breath were moaning lowly, they would soon end this pain. Because, the Qin army's foot soldiers are searching corner by corner for any remnants who are pretending to be dead.
In the search team, a young foot soldier with a big bow on his back made Li Yuan very concerned, and he called Han Yan to be shot by several arrows in a row, which seemed to be the credit of this young man.
"Someone, go and call the young man with the bow on his back." Li Yuan gave an order, and immediately a personal guard rushed forward to give the order.
After a while, accompanied by Cao Xin, the young man followed with a shy face, seeing that Cao Xin was close to him, it was estimated that the archery skills of the talented young man also made Cao Xin, a fierce general, very appreciative.
"Jingyang Li Zhongxiang, I have seen Shenwu Hou." The boy blushed and said loudly.
"Li Zhongxiang, isn't it Xiao Li Xin who joined the army in Yongyi?" Li Yuan haha smiled, he received a letter from Li Zheng earlier, and Li Zhongxiang was mentioned in the letter.
"Shenwu Marquis also knows my ancestor?" Li Zhongxiang said in surprise, and took out a letter of recommendation handed over to him by Li Zheng from his arms, this shy young man is actually very proud from the bottom of his bones, if he hadn't made great contributions on the battlefield this time, he probably wouldn't have taken out Li Zheng's letter.
"General Li is my Great Qin General, Longxi Di Dao people, not long ago, I sent people to Di Dao to find the whereabouts of his descendants, but I failed to do so, I didn't expect to meet Brother Li on the battlefield today." Li Yuan said, Li Zhongxiang's arrival made Li Yuan happily see the hope of the future in the Qin army.
Li Xin, Li Zhongxiang, Li Guang, Li Ling -- the Li family in Longxi can be called a family of military generals in the Qin and Han dynasties, and a family that can accompany so many outstanding generals, Li Yuan believes that the rest of this family will not be too bad, as long as they are carefully explored, perhaps, they can make Li Zhongxiang and others' abilities more qualitatively leap than in history.
Compared with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who have endless generals under their command, there are not many generals under Li Yuan's subordinates who can really be useful, that is, Luo Jia and Wang Shang, who are only making progress day by day in the slow cultivation of the day after tomorrow.
For example, Li Bi, Li Yuan's former childhood companion, was stabbed in the intestines by an enemy sword in the battle of the Ghost Fang, and now he has gradually faded out of the ranks of the generals of the Qin army.
――。
The Qin army and the Xiongnu Huhan Department fought fiercely in Chaochen, at this time, the Xiongnu's Dadan Yu Maodun was still on the Great Wall of Didao, and a group of trusted generals enjoyed the different scenery inside and outside the Great Wall.
Plundering the land of Qin, in terms of specific actions, Mao Dun has no interest in participating and paying attention, and fighting with the Shenwu Marquis of Qin, who can also be called a legend, is the thing that Mao Dun wants to do the most. Therefore, the only information he asked the Xiongnu tribes to inquire about was only one: Li Yuan's whereabouts.
Where is Li Yuan?
The Huns were busy plundering, and they were in unfamiliar places, so it was really not easy to find out the exact news, so Mao Dun did not ask for anything too much at this point.
However, when Hu Han Yan appeared in front of Mao Dun with only a hundred lucky horsemen who had fled back with an embarrassed face, the decisive Da Dan Yu was furious.
Hu Hanyan, a fool, actually thought that with his mere 3,000 cavalry, he could capture and kill Li Yuan, and he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Now, the Qin army has won another victory, this is the second time, if such a case of being surrounded and annihilated happens again, Mao Dun understands that the morale of the Xiongnu tribes will drop rapidly. After all, for the leaders of the tribes, the purpose of this southward journey was not to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, but to rob the Qin state.
No one imagined that Hu Han Yan was the same, unlucky to fight with the Qin army, and some gloating tribal leaders were already secretly plotting, and when they returned to the grassland, how to annex the Huhan tribe that had lost their main Liliang as soon as possible.
Mao Dun's face was uncertain, and Hu Han Yan was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and his short and sturdy body lay on the bluestone ground of the Great Wall, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear of angering Mao Dun again and causing a catastrophe.
After a moment of silence.
Suddenly, from under the Great Wall, a person hurriedly ran over, and said in a loud voice: "Yu Da Danyu, seventy miles east of the Great Wall, I found that there was a Qin army scout, and the banner should be the Qin State border cavalry in the Jiuyuan area." ”
Mao Dun turned his head to look, but it was the right bone Duhou who ran over with a panicked face. The troops of the Xiongnu Right Bone Marquis were divided according to Shili and plundered west of the Hetao near Jiuyuan County of the Qin State. The right-bone marquis, who had suffered under the border army a few years ago, was very careful this time, and sent scouts to the direction of Jiuyuan one after another to investigate, but fortunately, it was his caution that made the border army's encirclement discovered early.
"Order all the departments to quickly move closer to Di Dao, and those who retreat without permission will be killed." The continuous unfavorable news made Mao Dun murderous. The arrival of the border army undoubtedly gave the Qin army the confidence to counterattack the Hun cavalry, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood Li Yuan's strategic intentions, but he was not ready to retreat.
The iron cavalry of the Great Huns, no matter what the circumstances, will not withdraw without fighting.
Mao Dun immediately decided to open the battlefield at the foot of the Great Wall of Di Dao and compete with Li Yuanhaode, whether it is a civil fight or a martial fight, it must be a winner or loser.
