The southern section of Gushui.

"Chief, we are only two hundred miles away from Dongqiangdi! Arriving tomorrow! ”

Huermu nodded, feeling that he was about to return to his hometown.

"Go and tell a few thousand cavalry commanders that we must rush to Wild Horse Spring today, which is fifty miles away from Dongqiang Land. After arriving, rest tonight, and set off before sunrise tomorrow, when the sun rises, I want to see the Qin people's post house! ”

The scout rode and went.

Huermu climbed a high ground and looked at the continuous mountains in the distance, that is Qilian Mountain!

Since the Beiqiang clan was driven out of the Dongqiang land, after years of conquest, the Huns were driven out of the Qilian Mountains. But he didn't expect that after nearly a hundred years of development, the Beiqiang clan would fall to the Xiongnu and Daqin.

Huermu looked at the Qilian Mountain in the distance, as if he also saw the Yanzhi Mountain in the southeast. A Tianshan Mountain, a Tianhou Mountain, plus Longshou Mountain in the north, what a rich pasture!

"Dada, you can wash your neck and wait for me in Tianhou Mountain! I will lead the Beiqiang clan to rise again! ”

Huermu's cavalry galloped all the way with little rest, and finally approached Mustang Spring just as it was getting dark.

A 10,000-strong cavalry commander who followed him pointed ahead with a horsewhip: "Chief, there are still twenty miles to Yema Spring." The sky will soon get dark, so let's rush directly through the Wild Horse Spring, go straight to Beiqiang Land, and take down those Qin troops and traitors while the night is dark! ”

Huermu shook his head and wiped the sweat from his face. Although it is not yet summer, the long journey is extremely physically exhausting.

"No, let's take a break at Mustang Springs and set off at the hour. Our cavalry has been galloping all the way, and we are already tired of men and horses, and I will not fight battles that I am not sure of. ”

Then he pointed to the army and instructed: "Let them slow down and not make too much noise so that they will not be noticed." I'm going to surprise those Qin people and traitors! ”

If Wu Jian heard his words, he would definitely ask him curiously: "You also have a surprise?" ”

Hearing this, the commander rode his horse to catch up with the leader, causing the cavalry in the platoon to slowly slow down until it was slightly faster than the infantry.

After walking a few hundred meters, Huermu frowned, Lerma stopped, pointed to a mountain in front of him and asked, "What kind of mountain is that?" ”

As far as the eye could see, a hill of earth that was not steep stood alone on the vast grassland, or it would be more appropriate to call it a dirt slope.

"Chief, that's Red Cliff Mountain!"

Huermu suddenly laughed, making the commander of the ten thousand horses laugh inexplicably.

After a long time, Huermu stopped laughing and snorted coldly: "I laugh at Nadada's unscrupulous and Qinren's lack of wisdom." This mountain is facing the valley water, if we ambush a cavalry on that mountain, and wait for us to pass through it, and rush down with the might of the heights, will we not die here? ”

Wan Qi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Then I will order the Tanqi to focus on probing?" ”

Huermu waved his hand: "No need, the reason why I ordered the cavalry to only take care of the front and back five miles is because I am afraid that the Qin people will be alert." Besides, the Qin people, Meng Tian and Wang Li, will only shrink in the Great Wall and wait for us to attack. The Qin army was all infantry, and the few cavalry never dared to stay away from the Great Wall, so how could there be an ambush. ”

Captain Wan breathed a sigh of relief and patted his horse ass and said, "Chief LinkedIn!" ”

After another 100 meters, the front army had entered the valley. Although Huermu was arrogant, he still made the whole army vigilant after a long battle, and accelerated his speed through the river valley.

As everyone knows, on the mountain at this moment, there are 10,000 pairs of hungry eyes staring at the Qiang people below.

Ten thousand Great Qin Elite Riders neatly and neatly, with human titles, horse ties, and all reflective objects are blocked, except for the sound of breathing, the falling needles can be heard.

The general whispered: "General, what should I do with this scout?" ”

Wu Jian made a movement to wipe his neck: "Even if they find out that there is one less scout now, it will be too late!" ”

The former general in front of the mountain was waiting in battle, and the general behind the mountain was also staring at the tail of the Qiang people.

No matter how vigilant Huermu was, he couldn't have imagined that there were 30,000 deadly cavalry hidden on this inconspicuous dirt mountain!

As soon as the Chinese army in Huermu entered the river valley, they saw a sudden fire on the mountain, and countless flaming arrows struck like a storm.

Huermu was shocked and shouted loudly: "Scatter, disperse!" ”

Although he ordered to pass through the river valley quickly, more than 30,000 people were piled up in this valley before and after, where can the speed be fast! Before the Qiang people could make a move, the rain of arrows had already been firmly inserted into their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, the 10,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry descended like a god, taking advantage of the momentum of the high slope and 3,000 people as a team, and gradually rushed down!

Wu Jian was in the middle army, and when the front army rushed out of half the distance, he shouted: "Kill with General Ben!" ”

Then the horse was the first to rush out. Seeing that the commander was so brave, the three thousand people around him were not to be left behind, and suddenly crossed Wu Jian and surrounded Wu Jian in the center to rush down.

Seeing that the cavalry rushing down from the mountain was unstoppable, Huermu hurriedly shouted: "The front army forward, the rear army backward, rush out of the river valley!" ”

But how could the general in front of the mountain and the rear general behind the mountain give him a chance, and when he saw the first wave of arrows, he attacked back and forth respectively, attacking the front army and the rear army.

30,000 Great Qin elite cavalry surrounded the 30,000 Qiang Corps, and shouted for a while.

The Qin army was armed with a newly assembled saber, and the bronze and iron knives of the Qiang soldiers were cut off in an instant.

Seeing that the Qiang soldiers were not even armed, they could not avoid in the narrow river valley, and the horses under them could not run, and the cavalry that could not run was not as good as the infantry!

In a hurry, I don't know who took the lead, and all the Qiang soldiers turned their horses and rushed towards the valley, intending to cross the river and escape.

Huermu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, his voice was hoarse, and he took a whip and whipped the Qiang soldiers who fled from his side.

"You idiots, don't go to the river! Dismount and face the enemy! Idiot! Come back! ”

The cavalry that can't run up is inferior to the infantry, and the cavalry in the river is a live target!

However, who could still hear him now, even a few thousand cavalry commanders were gone. Seeing that the Qin army was already close at hand, Huermu roared angrily, turned his horse's head and rushed towards Gushui with the fleeing Qiang soldiers.

The Qiang soldiers, who were the first to rush to the valley, did not hesitate at all, and rode their horses into the river. You must know that the water in the valley at this time is much larger than the Shiyang River in later generations, and the famous place of death in Lop Nur is still rich in water and grass, and the cavalry can only move forward with difficulty.

Just as the first wave of Qiang soldiers was about to go ashore, countless torches suddenly surged on the opposite bank, illuminating the entire east coast as if it were day.

Wu Jian had expected that the Qiang soldiers would choose to cross the river to escape for their lives in a panic, and ordered 3,000 people to ambush here, handing over almost all the bows and crossbows to them.

The Qiang soldiers were frightened, some tried their best to rush up, some turned their horses' heads and wanted to return to the west bank, and some called for the blessing of the Tianshan Mountains......

The Qin army didn't care about their father or mother, there were three or four bows and crossbows by their side, and countless arrows were shot at the Qiang soldiers who crossed the river as if they didn't need money.

Huermu had just rushed to the west bank and was directly dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him.

The river had turned crimson and shimmered eerily in the light of the torches. In this case, I must not be able to go down the river, so I turned around and wanted to flee north.
