The Donghu people and the Huns who saw this scene couldn't react a little, because they really couldn't figure out what these Qin people wanted to do.

But they soon learned that it was not that the officers and soldiers of these Qin army's crossbow chariot units could not distinguish between friend and foe, but that this situation was more that they did not want to be taken advantage of by the enemy. After all, the combat effectiveness of the crossbow chariot unit is largely focused on the integrity of the formation.
A complete and strict formation is also very important for the combat effectiveness of a unit. If the connection between the formations was disturbed by the impact of these Donghu people, such a situation was not what the commander of the crossbow chariot unit wanted to see.
And more importantly, they really can't tell the difference between these Donghu people and the Huns.
Of course, these crossbow chariot units did not stop there, they continued to advance slowly, and then continued to fire at the Huns or Donghu who were close to them.
Anyway, for the officers and soldiers of these crossbow chariot units, although the number of arrows they have on hand is not very large, they can still get those two hundred arrows each. The number of arrows in this kind of combat environment naturally seems to be a bit abundant.
After each of them paid the corresponding casualties, these Hun knights were hopeless in pursuing the Donghu people, and the arrows fired by the Qin chariot troops also made them pay a heavy price in casualties, and they could only turn back to the battlefield with the Donghu people.
As for the remaining 100 or so Donghu riders, they are also not stupid. Some of them who were more agile knew very well that the Qin people didn't want them to get too close to the formation before they would attack them.
In such a situation, although it was said that their tribal leader died under the arrows of the Qin army, they finally had to think of their own retreat for their lives, and chose to flee directly to the west from the west of the Qin army's chariot troops.
The commander of the Qin army's crossbow chariot unit saw such a situation, and he didn't react much. Instead, he directly ordered the officers and soldiers under his command to take out the reserve arrows from the place where the arrows were stored on the chariot, and replenish the number of arrows consumed before continuing to advance slowly.
......
Su Jiao looked at the crossbow chariot troops that were gradually moving away, and he could be said to be more confident in the situation of the crossbow chariot troops under his command. And in this case, even if the Huns concentrated their forces against these crossbow chariot troops, I am afraid that there would be no way to successfully deal with the officers and soldiers of these crossbow chariots. Do not allow other units of the Qin army to reinforce them.
To be honest, he was not without his surprise Zhang Jiashi's policy on the development of these tank units. Why did you come up with this aspect of the idea? Because for something like this, which is more like a long-range strike force with good mobility, their long-range output is actually not very strong. After all, no matter how wide the battlefield is, more crossbow chariots can join the battlefield and fight at the same time, but it is undeniable that no matter how far the range of the strong bow and crossbow is, I am afraid that it will not be able to make an area fall with more dense arrows than infantry crossbowmen.
And more often than not, the enemies in an area are at most in this area. They were shot at by about four or five hundred crossbowmen, and the infantry were even able to break a thousand.
In other words, the salvo power and killing probability of these crossbow chariot units are roughly only one-half or even one-third of the Qin army's infantry. Such a situation can be very fatal in the heat of battle.
Therefore, Su Jiao did not understand very well what Zhang Jiashi's fundamental idea of building this army was.
And it is undeniable that in this operation and in terms of the guards that transported supplies into the Donghu-controlled area before, these crossbow chariots were indeed able to play a role that these nomads could not ignore.
Meantime. These crossbow chariot units are also capable of playing a role as a separate unit.
This was a situation that Su Jiao did not expect. But at the moment, Su Jiao's focus was not on this matter, he focused on the group of Hun riders who didn't seem to have been completely resolved, but said to an infantry lieutenant beside him: "Captain Xu, you lead four thousand officers to reinforce Captain Su Xuan and Chen Heng Taishou." and coordinated with the two to launch an offensive against the Huns in the encirclement. ”
"Whoa!"
This person, called Xu Duwei, simply accepted the task or order given to him by Su Jiao.
Although in such a situation, he led his troops forward, perhaps before he could reach the combat area, the operation in that area was already over.
However, it is undeniable that as an officer, it is natural to have the idea of being an officer and the corresponding mentality.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Just say. Zhang Jiashi himself did not like the kind of officers under his command who were too loyal to orders, but strictly speaking, Zhang Jiashi knew that he wanted to maintain a high level of loyalty in an army, and such officers were necessary.
And in the Great Qin Empire, or the Qin State before it, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the most indispensable thing was also this kind of officer. Therefore, in the accumulation of hundreds of years, loyalty has become a fixed thinking of most of the Great Qin Emperor's ** officials.
Of course, there were also generals similar to Zheng Anping (Fan Sui Baoju), who finally surrendered to Zhao after the defeat at the Battle of Handan, because of the lack of support from the Qin army that was defeated at that time. And Fan Sui was also abolished by King Zhaoxiang of Qin because of this), Fan Yuzhi, Cheng Jiao and Zhang Han and other people who betrayed Qin or the Great Qin Empire.
But if you really want to be more serious, many of them have their own helplessness to surrender.
Zheng Anping didn't say much, Cheng Jiao's betrayal was more coerced by Fan Yuzhi. In the end, Cheng Jiao still jumped off the wall a few meters high on the city wall of Tunliu, completing his loyalty to being a Great Qin royal family.
As for what Fan Yuzhi betrayed because of it, it was more because of his own ambitions.
According to rumors, the reasons for Fan's betrayal are as follows:
In the ninth year of the reign of King Qin (238 BC), Lü Buwei decided to attack the Five Kingdoms of Shandong in order to avenge the attack on Qin by the Five Kingdoms. Paimon and Zhang Tang supervised 50,000 troops to attack Zhao. Three days later, he ordered Chang'an Jun Cheng and Fan to lead 50,000 troops as a successor. After the Qin soldiers sent a letter to Guguan, Meng Fu led the front army to take the road and attacked Qingdu directly, and stationed in Tunliu as a support for the Qin army in front. Zhao sent Pang Yuan as a general, and Hu Yu as a deputy general to lead 100,000 troops to resist the Qin army. A battle in Yaoshan. The Qin army failed to win, and Meng Fu sent Zhang Tangdu to Tunliu to urge the rear troops. At that time, Cheng Chan was only 17 years old and did not know much about military affairs, so he was busy summoning Fan Yuzhi to discuss. Fan usually hated Lü Buweina's concubine stealing the country, so he took the opportunity to say: "The current king is not the flesh and blood of the previous king, but the king is the son-in-law." It was also revealed that Lü Buwei sent him this time
The purpose of sending troops was to take the opportunity to get rid of him and then offer a plan: "Today, the Mengfu soldiers are trapped in Zhao. In a hurry, he couldn't return, and Jun had a heavy army. If it is preached to proclaim the sin of the adulterer, and the deceit of the Ming Palace, the subjects who do not forgive the heirs. Cheng Cheng accepted Fan Yuzhi's plan. Fan then pretended to tell the envoy that the army would move to camp on the same day.
After the envoy left, Fan Yuzhi drafted a document. Fan Yu spread the text in all directions. The people of Qin had heard many rumors of Lü Buwei's concubine, and they only believed it when they saw that there were words such as pregnancy and adultery in the text. Although they were afraid of Lu and did not dare to raise troops to respond, they all adopted a wait-and-see attitude. Zhang Tang knew that Chang'anjun had rebelled, and ran to Xianyang in the starry night to change. King Qin was furious when he saw the text. Summoning Shang's father, Lü Buwei, to discuss. Then he sent Wang Jian as a general and led 100,000 troops. To beg Chang'an Jun Chengcheng.
In the tenth year of the reign of King Qin (237 BC), Fan Yu was appointed as a general of Qin. In the following year, he led his troops to attack Zhao with Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe, and took Ye (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei) and other cities, and then captured Pingyang (now southeast of Ci County), won a great victory, and killed Zhao's generals.
In the fourteenth year of the reign of King Qin (233 BC), he again led an army to attack the state of Zhao. In the face of the famous general Wu Anjun Li Mu of Zhao, he was defeated and the Qin army suffered heavy losses. King Qin was furious. Kill all of his parents' clans.
This kind of rumor is more of a nonsense for the current Zhang Jiashi.
Because the time of Fan Yuzhi's escape was the time when Tunliu was recaptured by the Qin state in 237 BC. And how could the Qin State at that time tolerate Fan Yuzhi, as a rebel general, to continue to lead the army?
And it can be seen that there is another rumor, that is, the statement that Fan Yuqi and Huan Qi are the same person is self-defeating, after all, according to the law of the Qin State at that time, if the two were the same person. I'm afraid that if Huan Qi wants to live until 233 BC, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky.
According to Li Xin, that is, Fan Yuqi and Huan Qi are not the same person. Fan Yuzhi was very ambitious, and his relationship with Lü Buwei, the prime minister at that time, was quite bad.
Although he had also heard a statement, he did not say it after thinking about it.
That is the legend, of course, after Zhao Ji and Yingzheng at that time escaped from Handan, the commander of the Qin army guard who escorted them to Xianyang was Fan Yuqi. And there is a saying that this is when Fan Yuqi and Zhao Ji had an indescribable and unclear relationship.
As for the statement that the first emperor is the son of King Zhuangxiang, Li Xin said that he really can't comment too much, because he has not seen King Zhuangxiang himself up close.
But judging from many people's statements, that is, whether it is Yingzheng or Cheng Jiao, they are similar to King Zhuang Xiang in terms of appearance, and this statement seems to be the most undoubted ironclad evidence.
Zhang Jiashi also does not think that as one of the inheritors of the Great Qin Empire's unification of the world, although Ying Zichu is inseparable from Lü Buwei's help and assistance, it does not mean that Ying Zichu, who was basically in power at the beginning of his accession, needs to be too afraid of Lü Buwei in this regard.
That is to say, if King Zhuang Xiang himself did not trust Yingzheng very much, then the prince of Qin at that time would be Cheng Jiao instead of Yingzheng.
And Li Xin did not say the rumors related to Fan Yuzhi and Zhao Ji, it is estimated that he took more care of Zhang Jiashi's face.
After all, it's not a nice thing to hear.
......
And this Xu Duwei is Xu Moying's brother Xu Ting.
At the time of the First Eastern Crusade of the Great Qin Empire, Hanoi County at that time was under great pressure from the southward Qin army in the direction of Wang Li, Wang Yuan's father and son, and the traitors who occupied a considerable part of Hanoi County were unable to stop the powerful offensive of the southward Qin army.
And what's even worse is that as Xu Wang, who still regards himself as an official of the Great Qin Empire, because the geography of Wencheng County is relatively remote, it is not the main direction of Xiang Yu's advance, so although the general Liukou Xiang occupies Wencheng County, after being defeated by Xu Wang several times, he can only give up such an idea.
And after Zhang Jiashi entered the Guanzhong, the Mo family swordsman under his command brought a letter to Xu Wang, that is, he was very grateful to Xu Wang for his loyalty and dedication to the Great Qin Empire. If the situation does not allow him to continue to hold Wencheng County, then he can leave Wencheng County and go to Taiyuan or Guanzhong.
After receiving this letter from Zhang Jiashi, Xu Wang knew that his son-in-law did not seem to have forgotten him.
If Zhang Jiashi knew Xu Wang's thoughts, maybe he would have a deep feeling of helplessness. Because he hasn't dealt with the emotional relationship with Xu Mozhi yet.
Seriously, Zhang Jiashi is quite uninterested in this very famous goddess stick in history, but after getting along for so many years, if Zhang Jiashi says that he has no feelings at all, it is impossible. So in Zhang Jiashi's heart, there are vague thoughts about letting it develop naturally.
In the First Eastern Crusade of the Great Qin Empire, although Xu Wang's strength was very weak, but because he was also a very famous and virtuous official near Wencheng County, after the vanguard of the Qin army under Wang Yuan defeated the strongest traitor in Hanoi County, he directly led several counties near Wencheng County to throw themselves into the rule of the Great Qin Empire again.
Zhang Jiashi didn't think about promoting Xu Wang as the county guard of Hanoi, but he didn't think that his idea of being a cheap man was really funny, he thought that it was impossible for him to serve as a county guard, and he hoped that he could continue to govern the small place of Wencheng County for the Great Qin Empire.
Such a situation can be regarded as a little surprising to Zhang Jiashi, after all, Xu Wang's ability is not too bad, maybe serving as a county guard is indeed beyond his strength, but with Zhang Jiashi's responsibility and his own reputation. As long as Xu Wang didn't make too many mistakes, his own county guard could be said to be doing it very safely.
Of course, for Xu Wang's hope that Xu Ting could join the Great Qin Emperor's ** Fang sequence, Zhang Jiashi did not refuse.
After all, in the past few years, Wencheng County's military stability, Xu Ting, as a county lieutenant, can be said to be quite competent.
Even Wang Li believes that if Xu Ting is given enough room to grow, then he will also grow into a good general. (To be continued.)
