Chapter 335: Besieging Yin Mountain
And Qin looked at the layers of torches like starlight in the distance, and said to King Youxian: "I'm afraid that this is another trap set by the Qin army, let's go back." ”
King Youxian sneered: "You are frightened by them, even if the grain and grass are not here, such a far team can not be regarded as an ambush, a tough battle, the Huns have not been afraid of anyone." ”
I saw him pull out the scimitar at his waist, wave it and say: "Strong warriors, the enemy is there, tonight we will use their blood to pay tribute to the dead clansmen, rush!" ”
The fierce Hun cavalry, seeing that the sack was filled with sand, was already holding their breath, and now when they got the order, they all shouted and rushed to the enemy camp.
But not long after rushing out, many horses weakened and fell into the trap.
At the same time, a large number of arrows were shot from the right direction.
It is also strange to say that most of the targets are not soldiers, but the war horses under their crotch.
In an instant, the horses that had just crossed the trap fell again.
Seeing that there was indeed an ambush, King Youxian hurriedly ordered the army to retreat.
Fortunately, the place was spacious, and the usual training was good, and the Huns retreated extremely quickly, but they also left more than a thousand soldiers who fell into the trap and were shot by arrows.
Back at the camp, King Youxian was so angry that he scolded his mother, and immediately decided not to do any sneak attacks, but to collide head-on with the Qin army.
And Qin can't come up with any more ideas, so he can only continue to persuade him.
Early the next morning, King Youxian sent an envoy to make an appointment with the Qin army.
On the Qin army's side, when Qiang saw the envoy, he reunited with Thorin.
In the big tent, the brothers hurriedly got together to discuss the military situation.
"Second brother, fortunately, you left an ambush army, and the Right Virtuous King really attacked our rear." Thorin said.
Qiang Yan smiled and said, "Although I expected it, I didn't expect them to come so many people, otherwise, let's kill him and make them come and go." ”
"Actually, that night, I had already rushed there with the team, but when I arrived, they were gone." Thorin said.
"It's a good thing you didn't get there, otherwise I'm really worried that you'll lose if you fight them at night." Qiang said.
"What are you afraid of?" Thorin patted his chest and said, "Your brother is so brave, can't he still clean up the Huns who were ambushed?" ”
Qiang Qi explained: "After all, there are more of them than you, and it is at night, so it is better not to take risks." ”
Thorin said, "yes, I see. Then the Right Virtuous King has suffered a loss and wants to compete with us head-on, how should we deal with it? ”
Qiang Yan smiled and asked, "If you really fight hard, do you dare to fight?" ”
"What's not to dare?" "It's just that you said before that you would use stratagems to consume them, but in the blink of an eye, why do you want to fight with them again?" ”
Qiang said: "Think about it, how did Brother Wang convince our brothers back then? ”
Solin thought back to the process of fighting Yingzheng in Longxi, and seemed to understand the meaning of Qiang.
Qiang Yan continued: "Back then, Brother Wang defeated us, but wherever we were convinced, we all shouted that the Qin army used tricks and won dishonorably. Later, Brother Wang asked us to take turns to compete with the Qin army, which convinced all the Yiqu people. ”
Sorin's heart said yes, the scene of the competition at that time is still vivid.
"This expedition to the Xiongnu, the ultimate goal of Brother Wang is to defeat the Xiongnu completely, so as not to interfere with the great cause of unifying China that he is about to start." Qiang said, "It's not that you want us to destroy the Huns." Besides, we don't have the ability to do that
Extermination. ”
"If they are not routed head-on, then the Huns will also be dissatisfied, and after accumulating strength, they will come again. If that is the case, then this expedition will have the opposite effect. ”
Solin nodded and said, "I understand, the reason why General Wang Jian kept a distance to pursue them before was to cause them psychological fear, and it could also provoke their main army, so they took the initiative to come to us." ”
"Exactly." Qiang said, "General Wang Jian has already sent news that his army will arrive in three days, as long as we control the time well, we can defeat the army of King Youxian in one fell swoop." ”
"Hehe, that's pretty much what I thought." Solin smiled, "I also sent a letter to Longxi earlier, and my grandfather has already sent Yiqu's men and horses to support us." ”
"Or do you have a scheming." Qiang said, "It's a pity that Xiqiang is too far away from here, otherwise I will also let my father come over with a large army to fight against the Huns together." ”
Xiqiang's hostility towards the Xiongnu did not begin in a day or two.
Solin said: "Didn't General Yang send a message saying that Zhao Guo had sent troops and now arrived at Yinshan. ”
"Well," Qiang Qi said, "although I don't know if Zhao Jun is reliable or not, but after all, it is also a force. ”
"That Zhao State was harassed by the Huns, and this time he will definitely come up with a bad breath, and he will definitely work hard." Solin Road.
"I hope so." Qiang said, "Right now, let's make an agreement with the right sage king, three days later, a decisive battle, if we win, then the Xiongnu Shan Yu will definitely come to support, when the time comes, we will find a way to lead them to the north of Yin Mountain." ”
"Good!"
The little brothers had made up their plans, and then they met the messenger. The envoy was afraid of delaying time, and after hearing this, he immediately returned to the camp of the Xiongnu.
Three days later, two hundred miles north of Wolf Mountain, the Qin army and the Xiongnu army each arrived at the designated place, and the two sides were ready to face each other.
Dressed in brand-new armor and riding a high-headed horse, Thorin walked out of the phalanx majestically and shouted in the Hun language, "Which is the right virtuous king, please come out and speak." ”
King Youxian was slightly surprised, how could there be a general in the Qin State who could speak Xiongnu, and he was still so young.
He urged the horse to the front and said in a loud voice: "I am the Right Virtuous King, who is coming?" ”
Solin said: "I am the deputy commander of the Qin army, the leader of the Yiqu tribe, Sorin. ”
"Hahaha......" King Youxian laughed, "It turned out to be the Yiqu doll that survived in the cracks, couldn't Qin Guo find a man who could lead troops?" ”
In the face of the taunt of the Right Virtuous King, Thorin was not moved at all: "The doll is not like many men, caught and unable to move. ”
With that, Thorin waved his hand.
The sergeant in the back pushed out fifty Huns with their hands tied.
"These fifty people, I met by chance in a few pits a few days ago, and I rescued them, it looks like it should be the person of the Right Sage King, it's just a gesture, and the Right Sage King doesn't have to thank me." Thorin said.
"You ......" King Youxian was so angry that he was a little speechless.
You obviously set up a trick to capture it, but now you come out and pretend to be a good person.
"Don't worry, King Youxian, I'll send them back." Thorin continued, "These people can't do much farm work, but they don't have a lot of food, and I don't have much to eat here to feed them. However, this is only some of them that can walk by themselves, and there are some legs and feet that are not good, so you have to trouble King Youxian to find them yourself, don't step on them for a while, that's not good. ”
The implication is that these Hun captives are straw rice buckets, and some of them can't move, and I don't know where they were thrown
engulf
Finish.
The nose of the Right Virtuous King is crooked.
The Hun army also began to make noise, but everyone could not hide their shame, and their morale dropped a lot.
Thorin waved his hand again, and the sergeant shoved the captives forward, and when they reached the middle of the two armies, they turned and returned.
King Youxian looked at the captives who had come back, and seemed to feel a little more shame with each step forward, so he took his bow and arrow, and shot a man in the chest on the spot.
"Shoot them all!"
Suddenly, a burst of arrows struck, and the captured Huns fell in a pool of blood.
"Yikes!" Thorin was surprised, "Didn't you come to save them?" Why did you start a fight by yourself, there must be no extra food. ”
King Youxian was so angry that his muscles were exposed, and his teeth were clenched: "Okay, you Yiqu doll, suffer death!" ”
He drew his scimitar and motioned for everyone to charge.
Thorin hurriedly signaled to change the formation, and a phalanx of bows and arrows appeared in the front row, and everyone held a flying crossbow in their hands, ready to fly.
A team of cavalry was also killed on each wing, also with a crossbow in hand.
The front of the Xiongnu army began to accelerate, and cavalry on both sides also charged the two teams of cavalry of the Qin army.
Although the Huns were good at riding and shooting, after all, there were no trees on the grassland, and there was a lack of wood to make bows and arrows, so the number of bows and arrows they had greatly limited.
Moreover, the toughness and elasticity of the Xiongnu longbow were also much worse, which led to its relatively weak range.
Even if you occasionally grab some bows and arrows from the Central Plains to use, after a long time, they will age seriously.
Compared with the Qin army's unique flying crossbows, the Xiongnu's bows and arrows were simply weak.
After shooting over a large number of the front rows of the Huns, Thorin had the archers all mounted on their horses and sent reinforcements to the left and right.
The infantry in the rear raised their large shields and threw the tripping ropes at the Hun cavalry who rushed over.
This trick was once used by Yingzheng on Suolin, and now Suolin is drawing a scoop with a gourd, and all of them are used on the Huns.
Not surprisingly, there is also a "rolling knife method" in the back, which specializes in cutting the opponent's horse legs.
There were horses falling in front of them, and the Hun army behind them couldn't rush up at all, and the advantage of the cavalry couldn't be brought into play, most of them were slashing in place, but it was difficult to inflict a fatal blow on the Qin army.
And seeing that the momentum was not right, Qin led a team of people to attack the flanks of the Qin army.
The effect this time was not bad, but he didn't want to, suddenly a Qin army came out from behind him, and the cavalry was scattered in one fell swoop.
Qiang began to order all the cavalry to attack the Hun cavalry, which had lost their speed advantage.
In an instant, the judgment was made, and the two sides were completely scuffled together.
The Huns, who had lost their horses, wanted to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Qin army, knowing that this was also their forte, but they could not find too suitable opponents.
The infantry of the Qin army all hold shields, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly, and there are cavalry as cover, so they don't compete with you in sword skills and strength at all.
However, when the Qin army attacked the city of Zhao, it lost some troops, so the overall number was less than that of the Huns.
King Youxian and half of the Huns were looking for an opportunity to capture Sorin, but they saw a Qin army with different costumes suddenly killed in the southwest direction.
On the military flag of that team, there are four big characters written on it: "Who else is me".
That's right, our army that abandoned "my weapon" appeared, although there was no ancient divine soldier, but our army is our army, no matter who you are.
