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

Chapter 22 A strong man from Chu!

The next day, 30,000 knights set off and continued towards the border.

But it is no longer a concentrated march.

The 20,000 light cavalry warriors under Tu Sui and Ren Xiao were divided into left and right divisions and scattered out to mop up the Hun cavalry that invaded Shangjun.

The 5,000 light cavalry guards led by Zhao Tuo and the 5,000 heavy armored cavalry led by Zhang Han, while protecting Ying Zheng, advanced in a straight line as the center army, echoing the left and right divisions, spreading a dragnet.

Although the people of Zhao had no baskets to feed the king's troops, they awkwardly refused to return the welcome. They actively cooperated with the light cavalry warriors who were attacking in all directions and pointed out the movement of the incoming Huns cavalry.

Moreover, the people of Zhao are not just the brave warriors of Yan and Zhao who ignore life and death. There are many counties here, and they are even more ferocious than the Xiongnu.

Before the 30,000 knights arrived, they were passive in the face of the Huns' cavalry. They could only protect their parents, wives and children and enter towns or counties to defend themselves.

But once the 30,000 knights arrived, the advantage of the Huns' cavalry was gone, and the situation was reversed.

The only thing to worry about is that the Huns cavalry escaped from the wall.

Want to escape?

What a wonderful thing to think about!

The warriors from Zhao came out in groups and united with the righteous groups from all over Jiuzhou to help. Taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, they either set up dense traps or traps on the path that the Huns cavalry must pass, or harassed and delayed them.

speed.

As soon as the elite cavalrymen of Great Qin arrive, cooperate immediately to annihilate them!

Even some small groups of Xiongnu cavalry were ambushed and intercepted by Zhao Di warriors and Jiuzhou righteous warriors without any need for sharp soldiers. The horses and property were pocketed, and their heads were used to find the title of Ying Zheng!

In this way, the Huns cavalry who burned, killed and looted suddenly fell into the vast sea of ​​people's war.

Supplemented by 30,000 knights, it was like plowing the ground, leaving behind numerous Xiongnu temples wherever they passed!

After Meng Tian received a message from Qin Mo's flying cavalry, he also urgently adjusted his strategy and recalled the Great Wall Legion that was chasing the Huns' cavalry to guard the way out of the fortress.

Try to keep all the Huns cavalry who invaded Shangjun behind!

…

Outside the city of Fushi, which is governed by Shangjun County, it is ten miles uphill.

A group of hundreds of Huns cavalry, carrying plundered goods, food, utensils, etc., rode along the road down the slope and headed west out of the fortress.

Plop——

The law——

The horses galloping at the front suddenly fell down with their legs stuck in the ground, and the Hun cavalry on horseback was even more knocked to pieces.

The Huns cavalry in the rear hurriedly reined in their horses and crowded into a ball!

Rumble——

Rumble——

At the same time, several large fireballs bundled with thatch rolled down the slope.

Either they rolled directly into the crowded Hun cavalry, burning the men and horses and screamed in agony, or they rolled to the front and rear of the Hun cavalry, blocking the roads at both ends!

"rush out!"

"Bindfold the horse and shoot the fireball!"

The Hun centurion roared urgently, and the commanding officers used their horses to clear the way.

call out--

puff--

A sharp arrow was shot from the slope. It was vicious and cunning. It penetrated the face of the Hun centurion and came out from the back of his head.

"kill!"

There was a loud killing sound on the slope, and soon a majestic man was seen, holding a sword and shield and rushing down first, as fast as a galloping horse.

The forty or fifty people who followed him, with different costumes and weapons, also poured down.

At the same time, someone shouted to the majestic man rushing ahead: "Xiang Yu, don't be reckless!"

Xiang Yu seemed to have not heard anything, and his companions behind him rushed to the halfway slope. He had already entered the chaotic Huns cavalry.

"Get away!"

Xiang Yu shouted loudly and forcefully knocked over a Hun cavalryman and his horse who were standing in front of him.

Then he jumped up high with his shield on his head and crashed into the group of Huns cavalry. With the big iron sword in his hand, he slashed the horse's legs with his sword and stabbed the cavalry with his sword. There was almost no enemy left, and they were instantly reduced to bloody gourds.

The Hun cavalry were terrified of being killed and were afraid of their bravery. They crowded around and distanced themselves from him, then picked up their bows and shot at him!

However, Xiang Yu had extraordinary fighting awareness. He just raised his shield and rushed into the crowd of men and horses, getting close and killing them. When his companions arrived behind him, nearly twenty Huns cavalry had died under his sword.

Seeing that the remaining Huns cavalry could not perform any good, they could only abandon their horses and fight on foot in despair.

But facing the ambush with Xiang Yu acting as the vanguard, there was really not much room to fight back, and within a quarter of an hour they were all dead and wounded!

In the end, the few remaining Huns soldiers collapsed and threw away their weapons and surrendered.

"The brave man spares his life, but I am willing to be a slave, I just ask not to kill..."

The Xiongnu soldiers spoke in an elegant dialect with a Zhao accent, which Xiang Yu could understand, but this made him even more murderous. He roared angrily: "Since you have learned the elegant dialect of China, you should cherish the beauty of China. How dare you enter the fortress to kill?"

Looting and destroying, damn it!”

puff--

Before he finished speaking, he swung his sword and four heads fell down neatly.

The companions behind him, although they respected him for his bravery, were overwhelmed by his ferocity. Only a middle-aged man with a gray beard yelled: "If you dare to be reckless and disobey military orders in the future, I will whip you."

"

Xiang Yu sheathed his sword and said angrily: "We have won, why does uncle need to speak so harshly?"

The popular middle-aged man's beard trembled, and just as he was about to scold him a few more words, there was suddenly the sound of rumble of horse hooves behind him, which seemed to be a large group of cavalry.

Everyone was shocked, and Xiang Yu drew his sword again.

However, when they saw clearly that the cavalry coming behind them were wearing Qin army armor, they breathed a sigh of relief again.

It’s just that the atmosphere is a little weird!

"Uncle, what should I do?"

Xiang Yu looked to the middle-aged man for advice.

The middle-aged man signaled him to calm down, straightened his clothes, and took the initiative to meet the cavalry and talk.

"I'm in Xiangliang. We are the righteous soldiers of Chu. We are here to kill the Xiongnu. I wonder which army your generals belong to?"

The leading cavalry general, Qian Qian, looked at the battlefield behind him, nodded appreciatively and said: "With fifty people, we can defeat a hundred slave cavalry. It's a good way to fight."

But then he asked again: "Do you have an official seal? Or a certificate issued by an official in your hometown?"

The laws of Qin severely restricted the people, so most of the righteous men who came to Zhao to help in the boxing were led by township officials or pavilion chiefs, or they held certificates similar to road guides issued by officials in their hometowns.

Otherwise, these guys with guns and bows would have been wiped out by the county officials without leaving their hometown!

"have."

Xiang Liang did not dare to neglect, and immediately took out two wooden signs that were put together from his arms, and went forward to hand them to the Qian General for inspection.

General Qian opened the wooden sign and carefully inspected the seal on it. After a while, he returned it to Xiang Yan and said: "Your Majesty is approaching with a large army. If you want to leave, please leave quickly."

"If you want to ask for a reward, just hand over your weapons and stand by the roadside, waiting for His Majesty to pass by. A Sima will record your achievements and reward you with meritorious deeds!"

Xiang Liang pondered slightly and said with a smile: "Of course I want to be rewarded."

…

After a while, Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu's uncle, nephew, and companions handed over their weapons and cleared the road. As expected, a larger cavalry force arrived.

Xiang Yu saw from a distance the armored First Emperor Ying Zheng on a chariot, walking among the army, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

"uncle……"

"Shut up and watch."

Xiang Liang glared at him angrily, but the fire of hatred was burning in his heart.
