Chapter 548: Marquis of Guishuang
Arrows are like flying locusts, covering the sky.
Thousands of Yue's cavalry who rushed towards the Qin army's chariot array did not expect that there were still well-wound crossbowmen standing behind the chariot shield, so there was no defense.
Under the volley of ten thousand arrows, the Yueshi cavalry who rushed to the front was shot over.
The screams of the man and the neighing of the horse were intertwined.
What's even more terrifying is that the cavalry in front was shot over, and the cavalry behind who were not shot could not slow down, and directly trampled on their compatriots and overturned war horses, or fell to the ground, or the war horses jumped over the obstacles that fell to the ground, and rushed towards the car wall again.
In the cracks in the wall of the car, spears poked out one after another, and they really stood up like a forest of guns.
The cavalryman with an iron head slammed into it, smashing the wall of the car for a while, and then he was pierced by a spear.
More horses neighed in surprise and stopped, not daring to break through.
The Yue clan on the horse symbolically shot an arrow at the wall of the Qin army's chariot, and the arrows of the bone cluster were blocked by the big shield, which was useless.
The Yue's cavalry hurriedly exclaimed, pulled the war horse, turned the horse's head and walked back.
At this time, the crossbowmen behind the car shield who had shot empty arrows had already changed, and the new Qin crossbowmen held the crossbow machine with a good string, and shot at the fleeing Yueshi cavalry again.
This time, the Yue's cavalry was facing away from them, and they were even more defenseless, and they were shot over again in the blink of an eye.
"Horror!"
The Yue clan people surrounding the Qin army's chariot formation had frightened faces one by one.
In the limited knowledge of most Yueshi people, they have never seen such a strange way of playing.
The Qin people gathered the chariots into a fortress, with spears horizontally outside, and crossbowmen in ambush behind the shield wall, and they were not afraid to fight near and far.
It looks like a hedgehog full of spikes, curling up its tender body in the middle, and all the spikes that are exposed are piercing.
In just one trial, there were hundreds of casualties.
"Qin people, it's very bad!"
Guishuang Xihou's face was distorted, and he scolded fiercely.
He had already seen that the Qin army had deliberately shown weakness just now and lured the Yue clan people to launch a large-scale temptation, causing them to suffer a lot of losses.
"Father, the car formation is hard to break, we might as well withdraw and find an opportunity to attack later."
Su Jiasha admonished on the side, she felt her eyelids jump just by looking at the Qin army's chariot array, and felt that this thing was really not easy to mess with.
Guishuang Xihou's face was cloudy.
The customs of the Yueshi and the Huns are almost the same, and when they lose the battle, they are not ashamed to flee, and when they see that they can't fight, they just evacuate.
But Guishuang Xihou was very unwilling in his heart.
He came on the heels, did he want to return in disappointment?
At this time, a war horse galloped from the front line, and the knight on it was the eldest son of the Marquis of Guishan, Laga Bone.
Just now, it was the Yue's cavalry that commanded the Yue clan to test the Qin army's chariot formation, and now he was about to come over to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy with the Marquis of Guishuangxi, and as soon as he approached, he heard Su Jiasha's words.
Raga bone roared, "Can't retreat!" ”
He said to the Marquis of Guishan: "Father, the battle plan with the Qin army this time was set by our Guishan Department, and the two Marquis also obeyed their father's orders. The reason why they cooperated was because they believed that their father could defeat the Qin army's grain transportation team and win the final victory, so that Shuangmi and Xiumi could get a large number of slaves, armor, and materials. ”
"The current situation is the same as the previous plan, the main force of the Qin army has been led away, and the remaining people who are transporting grain are surrounded by the 70,000 troops of my Yue clan, this is already the best opportunity."
"If we can't even defeat the people who transport grain for the Qin army, can my father still guard this lush pasture, and can he still command Shuangmi and Xiumi?"
"Father, you are the Marquis of Guishuang! It's a man who wants to be king! ”
The last sentence of Laga Bone was very low, and only the Marquis of Kushan and Sugarsha could hear it.
Gui Shuang Xihou's body trembled, his eyes bulged slightly, and a hideous expression appeared on his face.
"You're right, we can't retreat!"
Marquis Guishuang turned his head to look at the Qin army's chariot base not far away, and what he could see in his eyes was no longer the Qin people's grain transportation team, but the ladder to the throne.
The Guishan Department is the strongest of the five Marquis below the Yue Clan's royal court.
The strength of its tribe is only weaker than that of the king of the Yue clan, or even about the same, so the successive Guishan Marquis have the ambition of "he can replace him".
However, because the king of the Yue clan had the support of several other marquis, the Kushan Ministry had ambitions but did not dare to implement them.
The king of the Yue clan knew this, and openly and secretly suppressed the Guishan Department, making them very unhappy in Hexi, and there were disagreements between the two sides.
Therefore, when the Marquis of Guishan heard that the Xiongnu Shan Yu was severely damaged by the Qin people, causing the Xiongnu to fall into chaos and making Henan empty, he took the opportunity to invite the Marquis of Humi to invade this rich pasture with water and soil.
First, their Guishan Department can get rid of the suppression of the Yue Clan King and occupy a better grassland to multiply.
The second is to take the opportunity to form an alliance with the Marquis of Humi and pull the other party into his camp.
As the Qin people sent a large army to invade Henan, they wanted to seize this pasture.
While feeling threatened, the Marquis of Guishan also found a great opportunity.
He lured the marquis of Shuangyi with the conditions of separating the pastures and sharing the Qin slaves, equipment and materials after the victory, and won himself a new ally.
In the plan of the Marquis of Guishan, as long as they defeated the Qin army, they could not only obtain a large number of Qin slaves, weapons and equipment, which greatly increased the strength of the tribe, but also through interests and marriages, they could completely turn the two tribes of Xiumi and Shuangmi into their own embrace.
At that time, he only needs to take advantage of the prestige of the defeated Qin army and take out some of the benefits, which can completely win over the remaining two marquis.
When the marquis join forces, they can change the court of the Yue clan and fulfill the great wish of the Marquis of Guishan to replace the king.
He has long been full of longing for this, and even often fantasizes that if he can become the king of the Yue clan, he will remove the name of the Yue clan and change it to the name of Kushan, and establish a big Kushan empire.
But now, the spiky chariot formation formed by the Qin army's grain transportation team made it a little difficult for him to ride a tiger.
As his son said, once he retreated, it meant that he could not stand up at all in front of the Marquis of Shuangmi and the Marquis of Humi.
The battle plan was drawn up by him, and he also said that the Qin army's grain transportation team was full of unarmed farmers, and it was easy to fight.
Now the main force of the Qin army was led away by the Marquis of Shuangmi, giving him and the 70,000 cavalry of the Marquis of Xiumi an excellent opportunity to attack the grain transportation team of the Qin army. In this case, if you lose a round of charge, you will retreat directly, what is this to convince people?
Why do people still listen to him, after going back, Shuang Mi Xi Hou is afraid that he will run away with people.
The prairie worships the strong and despises the weak, and the waste is not worthy of being a king!
"Father, I've seen it just now, although the Qin army's chariot formation has crossbow arrows shooting from a distance, spears attacking. But there will be a short gap after the crossbow shot, and our warriors can also be suppressed with bows and arrows, and our warriors only need to take a round of shots to rush to the front of the cart. ”
"The shield wall of the Qin army is composed of cars, which can be knocked away by horses, and it is a big deal that we can pay more casualties and rush away from their car formation."
Laga Bone roared: "As long as we can break through the Qin army's chariot formation, there are some non-armor-piercing crossbowmen and farmers inside, and when the time comes, we can still kill them with a river of blood and burn their grain to the ground." The Qin army has several car formations, and even if we only break through one and then retreat, it is better than retreating directly. ”
Raja Bone is loyal to the advice.
He was the eldest son of the Marquis of Guishan, and once his father became the new king of the Yue clan, he naturally had the opportunity to inherit as king. Therefore, Lajia didn't want to retreat, he just wanted to break through the Qin army chariot formation in front of him, so that he would have a chance to become the king.
The Marquis of Guishuang had already been moved by the words of his eldest son, and at this moment, the Marquis of Xiu Mi on the other side also felt that the Qin army's chariot array was difficult to gnaw, and sent someone to ask what to do.
"Hit! Don't be frightened by these wooden shelves of the Qin army, as long as you break through the walls of their cars, which are full of cowardly farmers, we can cut ten of them in a month! ”
The Marquis of Kushan roared at the messenger as he gave the order to attack his men.
"We have 70,000 warriors, one man and one arrow can crush them so that they can't lift their heads, and rushing over can break their car formation, so there is no need to be afraid."
"The warriors who rushed into the Qin army's chariot formation were rewarded with a hundred cattle and sheep and ten women!"
Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men.
Coupled with the spur of the leaders of the various departments, the tens of thousands of Yue's cavalry who surrounded the Qin army's chariot array immediately stepped forward, raised their bows and arrows in their hands, and shot at the Qin army's chariot array.
Ten thousand arrows fired in unison, shooting towards the Qin army's chariot array.
At the same time, the warriors of the Yue clan were enthusiastic, and with red eyes, they stepped forward on their horses, and under the cover of bows and arrows, they charged towards the Qin army's chariot array.
Rush into the formation and kill the big guys.
"Rush Rush!"
The Marquis of Guishuang roared, how could the Qin army's chariot array look difficult, but he had 70,000 cavalry.
"Kill them!"
