After the stalemate between the Qin knights and the Hun riders, the Qin army's infantry units used the output of crossbow men to delay the advance of the subsequent Hun riders and effectively kill the Hun riders who attacked the south from the north.

Su Jiao knew very well that although the cavalry troops of Liaoning County and Shang County were concentrated this time, there was still a big difference between the knight forces of the two sides in terms of strength and overall combat effectiveness.

It was not the Qin knight troops commanded by Su Ling and Chen Heng who decided the outcome of the war, but the Qin infantry formation as the main force.

The Qin officers and soldiers adopted an improved formation of fish scale formation, the density of which was not too dense strictly speaking, but even if the Huns attacked this battle formation from many directions at the same time, they could not break into the battle formation for a while.

Moreover, in the north of the battle array, a defensive line formed by a large number of sandbags, although most of the officers and soldiers paid a heavy price in the battle under this situation, but in some defensive circles, there were still a small number of surviving Qin officers and soldiers who continued to fight.

Naturally, they relied on the weapons in their hands and the armor they wore on their bodies.

As a veteran of the Qin army, Song Qi was recruited to serve in the army after Zhang Jiashi's bloody battle on the Great Wall of Liaodong.

After so many years of fighting, many other people who joined the army with Song Qi at the beginning, many of them paid the price of their lives in the past few years of conquest, and fell on the journey of the Great Qin Empire to quell civil strife.

However, there are also many people who have been transferred to other units as officers due to some transfer needs, and have become the backbone members of the newly established units.

There are very few people like Song Qi who have returned to the army establishment of Liaoning County after a few years of conquest.

At this time, Song Qi was wearing a pair of iron armor, and many of the armor pieces had been damaged or scattered to a certain extent in the previous battles. In the eyes of other officers and soldiers beside Song Qi, the more than a dozen wounds on Song Qi's body also made them admire why the other party was able to suffer from such injuries. Keep fighting.

But they knew very well that if the tide of battle did not turn around in a short period of time, there would really not be many survivors among them who could survive.

It can be said that this battle is likely to be the last battle of their lives.

But no one will resent anything, because even if they die in battle, the Great Qin Empire will take care of their families as well as possible. This is also the biggest change they have been able to feel in the past few years of fighting.

But for Song Qi. He continued to kill these Huns, not because he was not afraid of death, but because he hoped that more "enemies" would be buried for their families before he died.

Because Song Qi is not a native of Liaoning County, but like Yu Yong, he is a slave plundered by the Donghu people.

Compared to Yu Yong, Song Qi was originally a Sima stationed in a small military camp somewhere south of the Great Wall of Daijun, but in 217 BC, a few years before the Battle of Yinshan in the Qin-Hun Hetao. The Huns broke through a certain defensive weakness of the Great Wall, and this military camp where he was located became the object of onslaught by the Huns.

But no one fled, no one surrendered, and when the smoke rose from the smoke of the Qin officers and soldiers stationed in this small military camp, they had already gathered the civilians of several small villages nearby in this relatively simple military camp.

Many of these civilians are the relatives or friends of the officers and soldiers of this military camp and the cantonmental guards, so in order to protect their relatives and friends, these Qin officers and soldiers and cantonment soldiers are seriously lacking in strength. The offensive of the Huns was delayed for almost three hours.

But even if these Qin officers and soldiers fought desperately, they still couldn't avoid the end of this small Qin army's military camp being trampled by the Qin army.

And before Song Qi was knocked unconscious by the Huns' horses, he saw the ending of his wife and children being killed by the Huns

When Song Qi woke up again, he found that he and more than a dozen officers and soldiers who had been captured by the Huns were being escorted to an unknown place, but these Huns were very careless. Because these Huns did not think that in their escort, these captives actually had the strength to resist.

So, Song Qi found an opportunity, seized the scimitar on the waist of a Hun, cut down three careless Huns, and then directly seized the horses and fled.

There are several people who escaped with Song Qi. But they did not escape the pursuit of the Huns, and Song Qi finally didn't know what happened to his last robes, he only knew that if he wanted to take revenge on the Huns, he could only flee for his life.

What Song Qi didn't know was that their luck could be said to be relatively bad, less than half a day after the military camp was breached, the Qin army garrisons from other regions were gradually reinforcing them, and their original location was not too far from the Great Wall defense line of the Great Qin Empire, as long as Song Qi fled south, he would soon see the Great Wall like a long snake, entrenched between the mountains.

However, Song Qi thought that since they were captured by the Huns, the Huns must have taken them away from the Great Wall, and if they went directly south, they might encounter a large number of Hun riders, which was undoubtedly self-defeating.

Because of this, Song Qi, who was galloping eastward, fell to the ground again and fell unconscious, and after he passed out, he had penetrated deep into the control area of the Donghu people.

Because of this, Song Qi was rescued by the other party after being discovered by a relatively kind Donghu herdsman.

Strictly speaking, Song Qi did not become a prisoner like other captured Qin Dynasty personnel, on the contrary, when there were only outsiders, Song Qi would only be treated harshly by an old herdsman of this family. Song Qi knew very well that what this old herdsman was doing was to protect him. Because if other Donghu people find out that they are treated well by this Donghu herdsman, then it is still a trivial matter for this herdsman to be ridiculed by others, and maybe he will suffer a lot of trouble because of this.

And Song Qi was very grateful in his heart, and also taught the children of this herdsman about some arithmetic and other knowledge.

Of course, it is also because in the next few years of life, Song Qi learned some of the languages of the Donghu people, and his way of life became more and more like that of a Donghu herdsman.

But Song Qi did not forget the disasters that the Huns brought to him and those he knew. For the Donghu people, Song Qi did not have much disgust, even in his heart. I was vaguely grateful to this Donghu herdsman, because if it weren't for the other party's treatment, maybe his bones would have become food for the wolves roaming the grassland.

And in 209 BC, that is, the year when the bloody battle of the Great Wall broke out between the Great Qin Empire and the Donghu tribe, Song Qi knew from the words of other Donghu people that the Donghu people were preparing for war with the Donghu people.

Their tribe was also sent by the king of Donghu Zabeh today, and prepared to follow the other tribes south. Launched an attack on the Great Qin Empire.

After knowing the news, Song Qi silently continued to carry out his "work".

In his heart. Have decided what you want to do in this situation.

That is, he will steal a horse at the right time, and then take the opportunity to run back to the Great Qin Empire.

But he was a little reluctant to do so, because the horses he was most likely to steal should be the property of this Donghu herdsman who was kind to him.

But in order to return to the Great Qin Empire and find an opportunity to avenge his family and friends, Song Qi could only say sorry to this Donghu herdsman in his heart.

But what Song Qi didn't expect was that when he was ready to act, the young and strong male owner of this herdsman's family. He had been waiting for him outside for a long time.

And he didn't say anything, but pointed to a horse with a bow and arrows or even a scimitar and dried meat, and smiled: "Father said, you will leave, I am reluctant, because the child likes you very much." ”

Song Qi heard this sentence. The mood was very complicated, but he still shook his head: "I want revenge, if there is a chance, maybe we will meet again." ”

The Donghu people in their prime smiled innocently, and walked to Song Qi's side and hugged each other: "Goodbye." ”

What Song Qi didn't know was. When he left this tribe, the connection between the Donghu people and his family and him was not completely severed.

On the contrary, in this battle, they still have a chance to meet again.

On the way south, Song Qi went out day and night, and traveled along the denser places of water and grass.

Song Qi has lived in Donghu for such a long time. Naturally, it is clear that this method can be more effective in avoiding a large number of troops or tribes of the Donghu people, but more, there are also a lot of hidden dangers, because there are more wild wolves in these areas.

But what Song Qi didn't expect was that on the way south, that is, closer to the Great Wall, he would encounter a group of Qin people who were being chased and killed by more than a dozen Donghu people.

Song Qi can know from the other party's dress that these Qin people are basically slaves of the Donghu people. And Song Qi has lived in the Donghu people for so long, and knows that not every Qin person has his luck, because the attitude of more Donghu people towards slaves is very bad. And when a slave falls ill, it announces the end of his life.

Song Qi had seen a Donghu from another tribe throw a seriously ill Qin slave into the periphery of a wolf colony, and the fate of this Qin person was naturally unavoidable.

Song Qi was angry, but he knew very well that with his bare hands, nothing could be done.

But at the moment, Song Qi, who was dressed as a Donghu herdsman, did not attract much attention from these Donghu people, while Song Qi found an opportunity to shoot one of the leading ones, and then fired three arrows in a row to shoot down the other two Donghu people.

To his surprise, just as he was about to turn his horse's head and run away, a young man dragged the Donghu people who passed by him directly under his mount.

When the young man stood up again, he had an extra bronze scimitar in his hand, and a line of blood was dripping from the scimitar.

Song Qi didn't think that this person could do anything, on the contrary, if he himself was caught up by these Donghu people, his fate would be miserable.

But to Song Qi's surprise again, the Donghu people who had planned to turn their horses around and chase him down, after a few people rushed towards this young man, they were actually solved by this young man in less than a minute.

And the few surviving slaves picked up the weapons of the Donghu people who were killed and launched a counterattack against these Donghu people.

In the end, Song Qi and these people solved these dozen Donghu people, but Song Qi and these people paid the price of casualties.

Song Qi had a muscle in the upper part of his arm cut off by a scimitar from a Donghu man, and the slaves were less than ten people who survived.

What Song Qi didn't expect was that this young man and him were more of a "Pingshui Encounter" who had fought together, but this young man became one of the core classes of the empire a few years later, and the empire's Lang Zhong Ling Yuyong.

Dividing line

On the battlefield, although Song Qi was wounded in many places, there is no doubt that Song Qi still has the strength to continue fighting.

The armor that Zhang Jiashi equipped these infantry units with provided the most direct protection for the officers and soldiers who survived to this time.

And Song Qi and several officers and soldiers around him who can continue to fight are one of the beneficiaries of this embodiment.

The bronze weapons of the Donghu people often cannot directly penetrate the iron armor worn by the Qin army, even if they are cut into or pierced into the gaps between the iron pieces by the sharp blades or blades of these weapons, but more, as long as the ropes between the iron armor pieces are not broken, the gaps between these armor pieces can still effectively avoid deeper wounds.

Even if some Qin officers and soldiers were wounded in many places, but their wounds did not touch the vital point, these Qin officers and soldiers were able to maintain a certain combat capability in a short period of time.

This is also a kind of unobvious and character-oriented benefit of the Iron Armor.

After all, compared to the harder iron armor pieces, these connecting ropes are only made mainly of hemp rope, which is easy to cut, but relatively difficult to break or loosen.

Perhaps the rope made of silk is better in this regard, but there are not a few silk ropes required for a piece of armor, and among the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi's command, that is, middle and high-ranking officers of a certain level have an iron armor that uses silk ropes to connect armor pieces.

But in Song Qi's heart, the pain of his wounds and blood loss made his physical exertion more and more, but Song Qi, who was holding two glaive knives with some gaps in the blades in his hands, glanced at the corpses of the officers and soldiers beside him, took a deep breath, and once again brandished the weapon in his hand to be continued.
