Chapter 61: Time Flies in a Flash
"Kill!" A Hun commander with a disheveled head shouted loudly, commanding the army to rush towards the enemy in front of him. The Hun knights behind him heard the order, and all of them were under the command of the military flag, like a rolling wave, rushing towards the enemy in front of them, these Huns were all fearless of death, one by one riding war horses, waving the scimitar in their hands, towards the enemy in front. Tens of thousands of Hun iron horsemen formed an unstoppable torrent of steel, threatening to destroy the enemy in front of them.
On the opposite side of the Xiongnu Iron Cavalry, a handsome and arrogant Qin army general stood at the forefront, looking at the swept Xiongnu Iron Cavalry, a handsome face showed a disdainful expression, the corners of his mouth hooked a cruel smile, waved his hand to the Qin soldiers behind him, and ordered: "Crossbow array preparation, release arrows!" ”
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Behind the general of this Qin army, a crossbow array arranged by thousands of crossbows has already been arranged, these crossbowmen stood in a row, looking at the general in front, their eyes were full of fanatical color, and when they heard that the general had given orders, they immediately wound up their crossbow arrows one by one, aiming at the galloping Hun iron cavalry, and after these Hun iron cavalry arrived within the firing range, thousands of crossbow arrows broke through the air together and shot out towards the enemy in front of them.
"Ahh "Ahh "Ahh In the galloping Hun iron cavalry immediately sounded a scream, many dodging Huns were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, so a rough calculation, just such a crossbow array, so that thousands of Huns were either killed by arrows, or lost their combat effectiveness. It's just that these Huns are outnumbered after all, and although the crossbow array is powerful, there are not many crossbows after all, so the crossbow array fires three rounds in a row, and it is no longer too late to load crossbow arrows. When the Huns saw the enemy in front of them, their hideous faces showed bloody smiles, as if they had seen these enemies who had mutilated their siblings die under their swords.
"The crossbow array retreats, the Ge soldiers, the halberders are in their hands, and the shield soldiers are ready to defend!" The general of the Qin army who commanded the Qin soldiers saw this scene and ordered.
"Whoa!" With the issuance of the order, the shield soldiers have raised a huge shield to block the front, and the halberdiers and Ge soldiers have also formed a military formation standing or half-squatting, ready to deal with the charge of the Huns. Among these soldiers and horses, Ge Bing half-squatted down, ready to wait until the Huns rushed to the front, Yi Ge cut the horse's legs, and the halberd hand held the halberd, intending to use the power of the halberd to deal with the impact of the iron cavalry.
"Shoot the arrows!" The Huns had come within the range of their bows and arrows, and one by one they raised their bows and arrows on horseback, radiating deadly feather arrows at the enemy in front of them (here is a word, in ancient China, most of the time, crossbows were a great weapon against foreign enemies, and foreign enemies basically did not have much possibility to learn how to make crossbows. Even though the Qin soldiers had already erected a shield array to block the feather arrows in advance, there were also many feather arrows through the gaps in the shield array, and the feather arrows were shot at the Qin soldiers hiding behind the shield array, and many Qin soldiers did not even see the enemy's face, so they were killed by the feather arrows.
"Eighty steps, seventy steps, sixty steps, fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps!" The general who commanded the Qin soldiers watched and listened to all directions, and while estimating the distance of the Huns, he was preparing for a short encounter, and after the Huns rushed to a distance of thirty paces, "Qiang! With a sound, the general drew his sword out of the sheath, pointed at the Huns who had put away his bow and arrows, and shouted: "The shield is withdrawn, and the brothers are killed!" ”
"Qin Feng!" "Qin Feng!" "Qin Feng!" Three huge military trumpets sounded in succession, and with the sound of military trumpets, the shield array quickly retreated, and the huge military array, which had been hiding behind the shield array, also began to step at a uniform pace, towards the Huns who were already close at hand, and could even see their expressions clearly.
"Yikes!" The leading general was the first to rush into the Hun army, and a clear bronze sword in his hand slashed across the chests of the Hun knights in front of him, and had already taken their lives. A bronze sword, which was originally only suitable for hand-to-hand combat, burst into a huge power in his hand, and almost every sword shot could take the life of a Hun.
The two sides have already engaged, and the Hun iron cavalry that galloped and roared has rushed into the phalanx of the Qin army, and began to continuously impact the formation of the Qin soldiers, but the Qin soldiers' halberders and Ge soldiers cooperate tacitly, and the Ge soldiers are below, and the iron Ge in his hand aims at the enemy's horse legs in front of him, and he doesn't care about the enemy on horseback at all. The halberd hand is on the top, if the halberd in the hand is far away, the enemy's scimitar can not be cut down, then the halberd stabs the Huns' war horses, weakening the impact of the war horses, and after the Huns rush to the front, the halberd begins to parry the scimitar in the hands of the Huns.
"Damn, Bai Sheng, I'll fight with you!" The Hun commander saw that the soldiers on both sides were entangled and could not tell the winner for a while, but his own men and horses seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and they could no longer exert the impact of the iron horse's galloping across the country, and saw that the Qin general was rushing to kill among his own soldiers and horses, and no one could stop him. With a roar, he swung his scimitar and killed Gu Xiao.
"Anur, you're looking for death!" The heroic sword in Gu Xiao's hand trembled, and he had already blocked the scimitar that came from the shadows, and when he saw the familiar face in front of him, he sneered disdainfully.
Gu Xiao knew this Huns, this Huns' brother died under his sword half a year ago, this Huns have always wanted to kill him to avenge his brother, this is the third time he has brought the army to find him trouble. But it's a pity that this is just a futile effort!
Anuer's surprise attack failed, and when she saw Gu Xiao in front of her, she couldn't care about anything else, her eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and she shouted: "Bai Sheng, you kill my eldest brother, I want you to pay for your life today!" ”
"Just you? I think I'd better send you to see your eldest brother first! Gu Xiao said disdainfully, the hero sword in his hand was as fast as lightning, and he stabbed towards Anur sword by sword, killing Anur only with the ability to parry, and he had no power to fight back.
"Ahh Bai Sheng, I want to die with you! "Anur is not Gu Xiao's opponent at all, but more than ten swords, he was stabbed in the right rib by Gu Xiao's sword, and he didn't care about it at the moment, and he came towards Gu Xiao's door with a knife, and he no longer cared about his own safety.
"Floating shakes the tree, don't measure yourself!" Although Anur has the heart to die with Gu Xiao, but the difference in absolute strength between them is too great, as soon as the sword is slashed, the heroic soul sword in Gu Xiao's hand has already cut his head, and a hideous and unwilling head flies up, blood splashes, but it only splashes on Gu Xiao's clothes.
"Kill!" The commander is dead, Gu Xiao shouted, at this time, the elite cavalry that the Qin soldiers had already prepared for a long time rushed out from the rear of the army formation, waiting for work, and killed the panicked Hun cavalry who died in battle with the commander.
In this battle, Gu Xiao broke the 40,000 iron cavalry of the Huns with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the Xiongnu commander Anur was killed in battle, and the 40,000 horses of the Huns were killed in addition to the thousands of fast runners, and more than 20,000 people were killed in the battle, and the rest became Gu Xiao's prisoners.
"Kill them all!" This is the answer given by Gu Xiao when his subordinates asked Gu Xiao how to deal with these captured Huns.
"Yes, General!" The subordinates secretly said in their hearts, sure enough, there are ancestors and grandchildren, and they are just the same in terms of ruthlessness. But he still didn't dare to disobey, and obediently went down to carry out the order.
"Ahh "Ahh "Bai Sheng, you dog thief can't die well!" "Bai Sheng, I want to eat your flesh and drink your blood!"
Soon, there was a scream outside the tent, mixed with the curses of the Huns, but these sounds fell on Gu Xiao's ears, but they felt like a heavenly sound. The rise of a nation always has to use the flesh and blood of other nations as a stepping stone, and he knows this too well.
"Report, general, news from Xianyang!" As soon as the Huns were all executed, there was a hurried sound outside the tent.
"Come in!" Gu Xiao gestured.
"General Qiyu, news came from Xianyang that the king died of illness, and the crown prince An Guojun succeeded to the throne, with the son of Chu Gongzi as the crown prince." A handsome-looking Qin general strode in, leaned into Gu Xiao's ear, and reported.
Is it finally here? Gu Xiao sighed in his heart.
