Chapter 551: Great Qin Iron Cavalry

"A war horse in armor?"

Shuang Mi Xi Hou looked at the scene in the distance, his eyes wide open, and his face was incredulous.

He is sixty years old this year, and he is the eldest of all the marquis.

When he was young, he fought the small city-states in the desert oasis in the west, fought with the Huns in the north, and swept countless Rong tribes on the grassland.

But he had never seen such a cavalry in armor in front of him.

It's normal for a cavalry to wear armor, but how can a horse be fully armoured?

Compared with this thing that was beyond the understanding of the Marquis of Shuangmi, what shocked him even more was that these hundreds of armored cavalry were extremely fierce and invincible.

The Yue's cavalry fired a flurry of arrows before they could rush in.

Most of the arrows were bone and stone clusters on the iron armor of those cavalrymen, and only a ding-dong sound could be heard.

Even the precious copper arrowhead on the grassland could not break through the iron armor of the Qin army, and the force on it was probably like the feeling of a small fist beating the chest.

Only when the bronze arrows of the Yue clan are shot on the war horse, it is possible to break through the leather armor on the horse and hurt the flesh of the war horse, but the power is limited to this, it cannot have the effect of hitting the cavalry, and it cannot stop the approach of these armored cavalry of the Qin State.

It can be said that these hundreds of Qin cavalry rushed over directly against the rain of arrows from the Yue clan.

Once it gets close, it's indiscriminate killing.

The weapons in the hands of these Qin cavalrymen were eight feet long, far longer than the short spears and swords in the hands of the Yue people.

The two sides fought, and before the weapons of the Yue's cavalry could attack their bodies, the horse lance in the hands of the Qin cavalry had already pierced into the Yue's people's bodies.

One inch long, one inch strong!

The horse lance stabbed in front of it, and the middle one was injured if he did not die.

Swept left and right, and the blockers fell one after another.

With the assistance of Takahashi's saddle and stirrups, even if the horse lance and the Yue's people slashed each other, the Qin cavalry shook twice on the horse at most, and still sat firmly on the horse's back, but the Yue's cavalry on the opposite side had nothing to borrow, and under that impact force, they were easily knocked off their horses.

With such a gap, how could the Yue's cavalry stop it.

Hundreds of armored Qin horses were like sharp arrows, directly piercing through the Yue Clan's blocking formation.

Behind them, there were countless Qin horses equipped with stirrups and Takahashi saddles.

"Happy!"

Fan Xu, who was in front of the charge in iron armor, waved the horse lance in his hand, swept left and right, and stabbed forward, every movement would knock down or stab the Yueshi people, and no one could do it wherever he passed.

Tens of thousands of Qin cavalry followed behind the five hundred heavily armed cavalry, also wielding various weapons in their hands, following all the way, swinging and slashing indiscriminately.

Wherever Qin rode past, the Yue people were cut down and dismounted, rolling on the ground screaming miserably, and then trampled by the horses' hooves.

In the other direction, although there were no 500 heavily armed iron cavalry to open the way, 10,000 Qin cavalry equipped with high saddles and stirrups also killed the Yue cavalry that blocked them.

"Marquis Xi, the weapons and armor of the Qin people are too good, let's run!"

Cronies screamed beside them.

Shuang Mi Xihou's face twitched, his eyes were fixed on the towering saddle where the Qin cavalry sit, he was also a horse athlete when he was young, and he could see the effect of the saddle at a glance.

But now is not the time to think about this, seeing that the warriors who stayed behind to block are not the opponents of the Qin cavalry at all, and those Qin infantry holding spears and lined up in an array also rushed up, about to cooperate with those Qin cavalry to kill their own broken troops.

Shuang Mi Xihou was a spirit all over his body, and this was the biggest crisis he had encountered in sixty years.

"Run!"

"Hurry up and rush me!"

Shuang Mi Xi Hou no longer looked at the battle situation in the rear, he had red eyes, and desperately rushed forward.

As long as he broke through the block of the three thousand cavalry in front, he had a chance to escape.

In addition to the 10,000 troops who stayed in the rear and were entangled with the Qin cavalry on both sides, there were still 10,000 cavalry around the Marquis of Shuangmi, and at this moment, the 10,000 cavalry rushed forward, which was still very powerful.

In the direction where they fled, three thousand cavalry of the Qin army appeared.

This is the cavalry that was chased by the Yue's people just now, and they took advantage of the time when the Yue's cavalry and the Qin army's battle formation were firing, and they made a big circle from the side, and at this moment they had successfully circled and blocked the direction in which Shuangmi's Marquis fled.

Seeing that these Yue Clan cavalry wanted to escape, these three thousand Qin cavalry also reacted immediately.

"Just now, these dog-day grassland barbarians chased us all the way, and now it's time for us to fight back!"

Guo Qing shouted at the three thousand robes.

He was a cavalry general appointed by Zhao Tuo and was deeply trusted, so he was assigned an extremely important task in this battle to trap the Yue people.

With 3,000 elite cavalry, go to lure the Yue people to the trap, this task is very dangerous, but it is also very important, and it determines whether the whole battle can be started.

Now that he has completed the first half of the task, he has introduced the 20,000 Yue Clan people into front of the main battle formation and begun to encircle.

Now, he will move on to his final mission.

Take the 3,000 cavalry under his command to block the escape of those Yue people.

"Second and third sons, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, right now!"

Guo Qing raised his arms and shouted, his face flushed.

"Great Qin Iron Cavalry, indomitable!"

The three thousand iron cavalry also shouted together, most of them were cavalry from Daijun, and they had the intention of serving the general.

At this moment, I was inspired, and I was full of fighting spirit.

Guo Qing took the lead, and three thousand cavalry charged forward, rushing towards the fleeing 10,000 Yue clan.

They gritted their teeth, stepped on stirrups, sat in high saddles, and held spears and halberds in their hands.

The cavalry of the Qin army charged desperately, although it was 3,000 cavalry, it was stronger than the 10,000 Yueshi cavalry on the opposite side.

Such a desperate posture frightened the oncoming Yueshi people.

Yueshi and the Xiongnu are popular, the advantage is to advance, the unfavorable is to retreat, not ashamed to escape.

They thought that they would win steadily, and when they chased and killed these 3,000 cavalry, they were naturally like dragons and fought bravely to be the first.

Beat the water dogs, who wouldn't.

But then they encountered the main force of the Qin army, and were shot by the crossbowmen for a while, and directly knocked out the sharp qi, and now they are in a state of escape, naturally everyone is selfish, and they just want to escape and live.

No one would be stupid enough to fight hard with a group of Qin cavalry who were not afraid of death on the opposite side in such a headwind situation.

Especially when they saw that the Qin army on the opposite side was wearing armor and the weapons in their hands were far longer than them, and they were better than them, they didn't want to fight hard.

In this kind of situation where the equipment gap is huge, the price of desperate efforts is often that you are dead and the other party is still alive.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

The Yue's people lost their courage, and in the face of the three thousand Qin cavalry rushing over, no one had the heart to fight, and the leading Yue's cavalry all pulled the reins and fled to both sides.

The grassland is so big, and there is really only one road, there are three thousand Qin cavalry blocking the road in front, so they flee to both sides.

But in this way, the formation of the entire Yueshi cavalry was scattered, and the 10,000 Yueshi cavalry became a pot of porridge, completely losing the ability to face the battle.

"Kill these brutes!"

The three thousand Qin cavalry crashed straight into the Yue's cavalry, tearing through their already chaotic formation, slashing and killing all kinds of indiscriminately, blood and water splashed everywhere, and severed limbs fell to the ground.

"Idiot! A bunch of idiots! ”

Shuang Mi Xi Hou screamed, but except for a few cronies around him, no one listened to him at all in this chaotic situation.

"Marquis Xi, run, the cavalry of the Qin army is coming at us!"

The cronies yelled at Lebula.

Shuang Mi Xihou's eyes widened, and he really saw a group of Qin cavalry cutting down the Yue people who were blocking the road, and rushed straight in his direction.

"It's the Marquis of the Yue Clan who wears the red robe!"

"It's the Marquis of the Yue Clan who wears the golden crown!"

"The old man with the long beard is the Marquis of the Yue Clan!"

The cavalry of the Qin army shouted, and one by one they rode their horses with red eyes.

Through Wu Shilu's intelligence, they had long known the dress of the Yue nobles.

Compared with those Yue's herdsmen who were wearing tattered and their clothes were dirty and black, the dress of the golden crown and red robe of the Marquis of Shuangqi was simply a fire in the dark, and it was extremely conspicuous.

The Marquis of Shuang Mi was frightened, he couldn't understand the words of those Qin people, but he still keenly noticed the problem.

Taking advantage of the fact that the guards went to block those Qin cavalry, Shuang Mi Xi Marquis slapped his horse and wanted to escape, while untying the red robe on his body and throwing it on the ground, he took off the golden crown on his head, but this thing was not willing to throw it in the end, and hung it on the horse.

But after doing this, he still didn't run away.

Because the Marquis of Shuangmi was shocked to find that in addition to the large array of Qin infantry in the back and 3,000 Qin troops blocking the road in front, their flanks had been surrounded by Qin cavalry, and there was really no way to escape

It turned out that he had 10,000 cavalry left behind, but he was broken by 500 heavy cavalry and 20,000 iron cavalry in one shot, and then was massively killed by the chasing Qin infantry.

After the victory of the 20,000 Qin cavalry, they did not take advantage of the situation to catch up from behind and attack the 10,000 people of Shuangmiyihou, but left a part of the cavalry to cooperate with the infantry to strangle those Yueshi cavalry who were broken, and the others separated again and began to outflank Shuangmixihou's position from both sides.

In this battle, what the general of the Qin State wants is not to be defeated, but to be annihilated!

There were 3,000 iron horsemen blocking the road in front.

On both sides were 20,000 iron horsemen outflanking.

There were tens of thousands of heavily armed Qin army foot soldiers in pursuit.

Surrounded on all sides, there is nowhere to escape.

Shuang Mi Xi Hou is a person who understands current affairs, and when he saw the situation like this, he hurriedly shouted.

"I'm descending! We, the Shuangmi Division, are willing to surrender to the Qin State! Please also ask General Qin to accept our surrender! ”

He was answered by the collective charge of the cavalry of the Qin army.

After the 20,000 Qin cavalry completed the outflanking, they began to charge towards the circle, killing all the Yue's cavalry along the way.

Among them, the five hundred heavily armed cavalry was even more unbeatable, and went straight to those Yue nobles who were wearing gorgeous clothes.

"It's the Duke of Nai, it's today!"

Fan Xuhu's eyes were wide open, his eyes were shining, today was his first battle, and it was also his battle for promotion.

……

Under the banner of Yu Baolong in the rear of the Qin army, General Zhao Tuo looked at the battle situation in the distance and bowed slightly.

He said to Li Shiqi and Chen Ping, who were accompanying him on the left and right: "At the beginning, Li Mu lured the Huns to the south, that is, it was mostly a strange formation, and he opened his left and right wings to attack them, and killed more than 100,000 Hun cavalry, this method is really good, only by outflanking from the left and right, can there be a chance to annihilate this group of steppe wolves." ”

Li Shiqi stroked his palm and smiled: "The general's approach today is much stronger than Li Mu's. The plan of encircling on all sides, even if you can't completely annihilate the 20,000 cavalry, I'm afraid it's almost the same, and you will also capture and kill the Marquis of the Yueshi clan here, this kind of record, it is difficult to have it in the world. ”

Chen Ping, who was next to him, rolled his eyes when he heard this, this Li Sheng is really good at sycophancy.

Not to be outdone, Chen Ping chose another angle and said: "The 20,000 Yue's cavalry is just an appetizer, and after swallowing it, the general will lead the army back to attack the main force of the Yue's army that attacked our army's grain team, and he will definitely be able to make a great achievement!" The general's plan to lure the enemy is really a plan in the world, and I admire it in my heart. ”

In the face of the praise of the two strategists, Zhao Tuo did not fall into pride, he was already immune to these praises, and he had faith and vigilance in his heart, so naturally his mind would not be affected.

He glanced at the battle ahead that was coming to an end.

Turning his head to look back, he looked in the direction where the grain team was.

There, there's an even bigger battle.

"I don't know if my Wugang car formation can bring surprises to the people of the Yue Clan."
