Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 17: Fighting hand to hand, flying a kite, one blow determines the outcome!

"Here."

Qin Mo accepted the order brazenly, turned around and rode away.

"A thousand generals with light cavalry are kings of their tribe..."

"The Five Hundred Heavy Cavalry Lord Dong Yibu..."

"Get ready immediately, beat the drums, and attack!"

Qin Mo rode in the marching formation and ordered two of the most elite troops.

Thirty thousand knights are fighting against the Huns for the first time. Their morale is strong and they must win a sharp victory to establish the confidence of a strong army!

Boom——

Dong Dong——

Dong dong dong——

The drums sounding, slowly and then quickly.

The heavy cavalry quickly put on each other's armor and put their vests on the main war horse.

The Qingqi worked together to string their bows and check the arrows in their quivers.

When the sound of the drums suddenly stopped, a thousand light cavalry and five hundred heavy cavalry immediately rode out of the battle, leading the main horse, and followed Qin Mo's general flag to attack.

"Fusu will join the battle!" Ying Zheng said indifferently.

Fusu was stunned for a moment, then he bowed his hands and saluted, urging his horse to come out to chase after him.

…

For the cavalry, ten miles can be reached in a quarter of an hour!

When Qin Mo arrived with 1,500 cavalry, the Huns cavalry were plundering a town.

Dududu——

A Hun sentry horseman blew the conch horn, and the Hun cavalry who were plundering the villages and towns immediately came out in groups.

The Huns cavalry who dared to go deep into the hinterland of Shangjun to plunder, not to mention how elite they were, were at least highly organized. After gathering at the entrance of the town, they... fled to the left.

Yes, escape!

They came to plunder, but they were unwilling to fight head-on unless necessary. They only relied on their speed advantage to let the Qin army suffer.

However, these Xiongnu cavalry were destined to fail today. Before the horses could get up to speed, a thousand Qin light cavalry warriors had already rushed in like black lightning.

The speed is so fast that it is about to penetrate the waist of the Huns cavalry!

The Huns captain had never seen the "cavalry charge" style of attack. In desperation, he shook his wolf-tailed spear and loudly shouted to calm his troops.

"Fight... shoot these Nanman to death..."

As the Hun cavalry galloped, they picked up their bows and set arrows one after another. The panicked ones drew their bows and shot, but the arrows were still far away from the light cavalry warriors, and they fell to the ground softly.

The remaining calm and experienced Huns cavalry silently calculated the distance while galloping.

But at this moment, the light cavalry warriors, who were about to rush fifty steps away, suddenly made a turn and began to run parallel to the Huns cavalry.

Boom boom boom——

Boo hoo hoo——

Amidst the sound of bow strings clanking, the light cavalry warriors shot thousands of feather arrows.

Even with the same bow power, the compound horn bow produced by the Da Qin Shaofujian has a range greater than that of the Xiongnu's crudely made weapons.

In addition, warriors served for a long time, received professional training, and had stirrups to draw on their strength, so the horn bows they used generally had higher bow power.

Adding the two together, against the Xiongnu amateur archers and cavalry who are half soldiers and half civilians, it is completely a dimensionality reduction attack!

Puff puff--

The Xiongnu cavalry rarely had armor, and some only had leather armor. They had no protection against the Qin army's three-edged arrows, and the sound of arrows piercing flesh was heard instantly.

Either a man is hit by an arrow, or a horse is hit by an arrow.

In a blink of an eye, the horse was overturned, and more than a hundred horses were lost!

The Hun commander was horrified and waved his wolf tail spear again: "Lean over, lean over and shoot the Nanman to death!"

There was no need for his command at all. The calm and experienced Huns cavalry were already engaged in close-range shooting.

But how can the light cavalry and sharp men do what they want? If you get close to me, you will pull away, and your bows and arrows will keep firing, shooting down the fastest Hun cavalry that is close to me.

Two thousand-man cavalry teams fell into a tug-of-war.

In the end, it gradually evolved into a situation where the Hun cavalry chased and the light cavalry warriors fled. From time to time they turned around and fired arrows, shooting down one Hun cavalry after another.

The Xiongnu captain who was commanding the spear-shaking commander was given special attention, with no fewer than ten arrows stuck in his body. If he hadn't been wearing a set of Yan iron armor, he would have died three times already!

"You can't chase anymore, disperse and run away immediately...as much as you can escape..."

Seeing that one-third of his men had been lost, the Hun commander finally became desperate and loudly ordered to disperse and flee.

But at this moment, the light cavalry warrior who was flying a kite in front suddenly threw smoking iron lumps behind him.

Boom boom boom——

The iron knot burst apart, and the Hun cavalry who had not had time to rein in their horses and fled fell instantly in a large piece, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The Hun cavalrymen who were not hit by the explosion were also frightened, neighing and jumping around.

The Huns' cavalry had no stirrups, and even worse, no saddles. They only had a few pieces of skin spread on the horse's back. When the horses jumped in fright, most of the cavalry fell off their horses like dumplings!

At the same time, the light cavalry warriors in front suddenly split into two and went to the left and right.

What appeared in front of the Xiongnu cavalry was the Qin heavy cavalry with 500 men, horses and armor. They held a round shield in one hand and a spear in the other. They were as dense as a forest and were coming towards them!

"My life is at an end!"

The Hun commander wailed.

boom--

Five hundred heavy cavalry crashed into the remaining 600 Huns soldiers, and the sound of shouts and neighs could be heard for miles around.

Most of the Hun soldiers who had fallen off their horses had no room to fight back when faced with the heavy cavalry hitting them like tanks, and they would be killed if touched!

The fierce ones in the heavy cavalry even used the inertia of the charge to pierce several Huns cavalry with one spear, like a skewer of candied haws.

When the two sides passed each other, there were more than 600 Xiongnu soldiers, and there were no more than 200 left!

The light cavalry warriors, who were divided into two parts, turned their horses back and fired a wave of arrows at the sparse Hun soldiers again. Then they drew back their bows, drew their sabers, and charged with their shields!

…

"Leave a hundred cavalry to clean up the battlefield."

"The rest gathered together and followed me into the town to rescue the people."

"Anyone who dares to take advantage of the opportunity to rob or insult the people will be killed without mercy!"

Qin Mo passed the military order and immediately drove his horse towards the town. Fu Su followed closely behind with his face turning pale.

Although Ying Zheng asked him to join the battle, how could Qin Mo let him actually join the battle? In order to protect him, Qin Mo himself dared not go into battle!

…

Qin Mo led his army into the town, and all he saw along the way were dead bodies of people.

Among them were the bodies of disheveled women and babies who had fallen to death.

It’s shocking to watch!

"Spread out, look for surviving people, and put out burning houses."

"Hurry up and inform your Majesty so that the medical soldiers can come as soon as possible."

Qin Mo's face was gloomy and he issued two military orders in a row.

The knights spread out and carried out the order without saying a word.

Qin Mo also dismounted, took off his Shu brocade cloak, and covered the woman's body. He picked up the baby's body and held it gently in his arms. He could not calm down his thoughts for a long time.

Fusu then dismounted and came to his side, saying in a solemn voice: "General, if you can solve the Xiongnu's troubles once and for all, you will belong to our Chinese people..."

"Watch out!"

Qin Mo suddenly shouted loudly and stretched out his hand to push Fusu away.

Buzz——

A short spear flew out from the house next to the street and flew past Qin Mo's arm armor.

Then they saw a Hun soldier wearing an animal skin. The screamer rushed out of the house and rushed straight towards Fusu. In his hand, he smashed the head of his bag with a big mace.

Obviously, the Hun soldiers who had not followed the main group saw that Fusu was a noble man and wanted to support him!
