Chapter 6: The Raid

The blue sky, white clouds, breeze, and green grass constitute a beautiful picture of the grassland, rising and falling, like a rolling grass among the waves, white, yellow, black, flowery, clumps, groups, or wanton frolicking, chasing and playing, or leisurely raising their heads, looking at the blue sky, slowly chewing the grass, or facing each other, sticking out their tongues to comb the hair of their companions affectionately, and more surnamed Ziye, glaring angrily, howling and threatening, fighting together in a moment, under the four hooves flying, pouting a large piece of grass blades. The little ones, who were not yet adults, snuggled up to their mother's side in fear, watching the fierce fighting, and slowly there was a hint of excitement in their eyes, and their little hooves scraped the ground and let out low whimpering, and whenever this happened, their mother always arched their heads at the right time to keep them quiet.

The shepherds were fortunate to live in a large steppe tribe like the Hachinin, and they did not need to worry about their livelihood like those of the small tribes, and they could enjoy all kinds of treatment as long as they handed over enough fur or cheese to the leaders of the tribe.

The centurion of the Hachinin tribe, Loew, enjoyed his life very much, he had a big tent, a very capable mother-in-law, and now, although he was only twenty-five years old, he was already the father of three babies, the eldest of whom could ride a pony and draw a soft bow, and look at the frame, within ten years, he would be a fierce knight again.

Loew was lying on the grass, squinting at the mother-in-law with the youngest son on her back was pouting her ass milking the goat, and the constantly shaking fat made him feel a little ape-like. Thinking of Dad, Loew couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, Dad was a very strong samurai, but unfortunately he died in battle when he was fighting for grassland with other tribes, those people in the big tribes are really hateful, relying on their own strength and strength, often bullying small tribes like them, one day, we will become a big tribe under the leadership of the headman, and then we will have our own fixed pasture, and we don't have to move around like now.

But fortunately, this year I finally found a place before the winter, and more importantly, there is still no tribe stationed here, although there are a few scattered herdsmen, but I can finally settle down, just opposite is the territory of the human race, I heard that although the human race is weak, but the materials can be abundant, you can get enough tribal materials for the winter by going anywhere, no wonder those small tribes often like to play on the border before.

It's a pity that I can't go this year, the tribe is new to this place, and I am not very familiar with the situation of the human race on the other side, and the tribe is not ready for a large-scale invasion. What's more, I heard that the barbarian tribe living in this steppe suffered a great loss at the hands of the Terrans on the opposite side last year, and millions of people died, and a medium-sized tribe was shattered because of that defeat, and it has long been swallowed up by other tribes.

But Loew firmly believes that this is only because of Qin Wuling's trickery to win, real field battles, the steppe warriors who grew up on horseback, and the eagles who can shoot bows and arrows since they were children must be many times stronger than those Qin Wuling farmers, as long as they set up a formation, they will definitely be able to kill them.

There will be no war this year, and there will be no additional income, so I can raise horses and sheep at home with peace of mind, and wait until next year, I must go to Qin Wuling to fight again, next year, I must grab some jewelry for my mother-in-law and come back, Loew looked at the pair of gold rings on his wife's ears, which he exchanged with those merchants from the human race, those merchants are really hateful, it is these two rings, so he asked him ten good cowhides, if it weren't for the strict prohibition of the head to embarrass these merchants, he really wanted to kill the businessman who was slippery at a glance, and then robbed him of all his things。

Loew, who was thinking about it, was drowsy by the sun, and slowly fell asleep, and he dreamed that the leader led them, and the horses galloped, and even the ground trembled, and the warriors rushed into the Terran territory with shouts, and robbed themselves of a large pile of supplies, as well as the bright and golden jewelry.

The ground was indeed trembling, and Loew suddenly woke up from his sleep, and when he confirmed that he was not dreaming, he saw his mother-in-law looking at him blankly, and he jumped up violently, and the earth was really trembling, and after a long battle, he immediately judged that this was because a large number of cavalry were approaching, and the leader led the people away, but not in that direction, in that direction?

He shouted violently, "The Terran army is coming, the enemy is attacking!" He rushed into the tent, hurriedly put on his leather armor, picked up his war knife, led his war horse, and shouted to his mother-in-law: "What are you doing, why don't you get on your horse and run in the direction of the camp?" He shouted. As he shouted, he saw in the distance, the black-clad black-helmeted cavalry was pouring towards him like a flood.

Loew's mother-in-law rode her horse and ran, but the direction in which she ran was the direction of Qin Wu's leading army, Loew couldn't help but be stunned, and shouted loudly: "Come back, are you crazy?

When the mother-in-law heard his words, she ran faster, and Loew was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that her mother-in-law was a real human race, which her father had bought from the slave trading house.

"Come back, you can't go, they'll kill you, they don't know you're a Terran!" Lough shouted, but the mother-in-law didn't listen to him, and whipped the horse again and again, but ran faster.

Loew burst into tears, "You stupid mother-in-law, you want to die, why do you want to take my son with you!"

He turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of the camp, on the horse, he turned his head and saw the galloping lineup of Qin Wu's leader, and saw that his mother-in-law was instantly hit by the opponent's powerful cavalry and flew up, taking his little son and flying high into the sky, "You stupid woman!" Loew cried.

Li Xin's 300,000 iron cavalry is divided into three strands, the two wings are like two huge arrows galloping forward in an arc, the Chinese army is slightly behind, in front of them, countless herdsmen grazing outside are beating horses and galloping away, their target is not far from the Haqining battalion, in the camp, the horn of warning sounded violently, the camp was in chaos, a large number of cavalry rushed out of the camp and began to line up, Li Xin saw the other party's untidy appearance, his face couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, this raid was simply perfect, the main tribal soldiers of the Haqining Department were taken away by Haningqi, how are the remaining people the opponent of the Qin Wuling Iron Cavalry that has been gaining momentum for a long time。

The back door of the Hachinin battalion has been opened, countless old and weak people galloped away on horseback, Li Xin sneered slightly, it seems that the Hachinin general who stayed behind is not stupid, knowing that the battalion will definitely not be protected, he actually let the tribal herdsmen escape, or not, I want to fight your soldiers, what is the use of killing these people, keeping you can still make Haningqi worry about feeding them.

Loew did not flee back to the camp after all, at a distance of more than a thousand steps from the camp, he was caught up by Qin Wuling's cavalry, although he had also released arrows on his horse, although the arrows accurately hit the opponent and were inserted in the opponent's armor, but it was obviously not enough to make the opponent fatal, and the number of the opponent was too much.

A pain in the chest, the children in front of him and behind him screamed one after the other, when Loew looked down, on the chest of the child in front of him, a spear tip was revealed, and after the Qin Wu led the cavalry behind him stabbed the spear in his hand, he immediately let go, galloped past Loew, and even turned his head to look at him, Loew saw the other party's cold eyes, he sighed, fell off the horse, the father and son were connected in a string, lying on the soft grass, countless cavalry behind him swarmed, drowning them, after the cavalry, there was only a bloodstain left on the grass。

Li Xin's Chinese army stopped at a distance of 2,000 steps from the main camp of the Haqining Division, and the left and right flanks were like two spears, sharply burrowing into the cavalry formation of the Haqining Division, which hurriedly met them, shouting and screaming.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Haqining Department, and there are no less than 100,000 people who can fight on horseback, but only 70,000 or 80,000 people who really have combat effectiveness, and the patriarch Haqiningqi took away 50,000 people, and the real elite of the Haqining Department at this time is only 20,000 or 30,000 in the station, and the one who stayed behind was the general Haningshou, when he saw the lineup of Qin Wu's cavalry army, he immediately judged that the battalion could not hold it, and the top priority was to preserve the vitality of the Haqining Department and not let the Haqining Department be destroyed here.

He immediately ordered that the thousands of elites who stayed behind immediately protect the children over the age of ten, and the women immediately retreated from the back camp, while he himself led 50,000 old and weak people to march out in a formation, trying to block Qin Wu's people and win time for the clansmen to escape. As long as there are children, and strong women from the tribe who can bear children, the Hakinin tribe will not perish.

Many of the 20,000 old and weak had no armor, so they wore single clothes, took spears and swords, stepped on horses, and rushed out of the camp without hesitation, and greeted the well-equipped Qin Wu leaders like moths to the flames.

It was a one-sided battle, in which the unprepared Hachinins were cut down in droves, their spears could not even pierce the armor of their opponents, and the only thing many of them could do was to rush into the horses of their opponents in the melee, twist them and fall off their horses, and then be trampled into flesh in the hooves of thousands of horses.

Li Xin looked at the battlefield coldly, he had long been accustomed to blood, whether it was the enemy or his own people falling, he could not let his iron-like nerves shake the slightest, he looked at the battlefield, calculated the best time to charge, finally, he raised the spear in his hand and shouted, "Qin Wu leads, charge!" His Chinese army roared down.

The fast horse galloped, and the knight on the horse brandished an iron hammer attached to the chain, and struck the fence of the Haqining battalion with horsepower, and after several waves of blows, the camp fence collapsed, and Qin Wu led the cavalry to rush in from the gap with cheers.
