General Qin

"A warhorse in armor?"

Looking at the scene in the distance with his eyes wide open, his eyes were full of disbelief.

He is sixty years old this year, and he is the oldest among the princes of the various tribes.

When he was young, he fought against the small city-states in the desert oasis in the west, fought against the Huns in the north, and wiped out countless Rong tribes on the grassland. He has seen a lot, and he has never seen any arms.

But he had never seen such a cavalry with both horses and horses in front of him.

It is normal for cavalry to wear armor on their bodies, but how can a horse also wear armor all over its body?

Compared with this matter beyond Shuang Mi Xihou's cognition, what shocked him even more was that these hundreds of armored cavalry were extremely ferocious and invincible.

The Yuezhi cavalry first fired a burst of arrows before they charged.

Most of the arrows made of bone clusters and stone clusters were shot at the armor of those cavalry, and only a ding ding dong dong could be heard.

Even the precious copper arrowheads on the grassland could not break through the iron armor of the Qin army. The strength of hitting it was probably like a small fist beating the chest.

Only when the bronze arrows of the Yuezhi people shot at the horses could they break the leather armor of the horses and injure the flesh of the horses. Qin's armored cavalry approached.

It can be said that these hundreds of cavalrymen of the Qin army rushed over directly against the rain of arrows from the Yuezhi people.

Once close, it is random killing.

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

The two sides were fighting, and before the weapons of the Yuezhi cavalry attacked them, the horses in the hands of the Qin army cavalry had already pierced into the body of the Yuezhi cavalry.

One inch long, one inch strong!

The horse stabs forward, and those who hit will be injured or killed.

Sweeping left and right, blockers fell one after another.

With the help of Takahashi's saddle and stirrups, even if the cavalry and the Yuezhi people fought each other with swords, the cavalry of the Qin Army would shake their horses twice at most, and still sit firmly on the horseback, but the Yuezhi cavalry on the opposite side did not. Things without leverage, under the force of the impact, were easily knocked off the horse.

Such a gap, how could the Yuezhi cavalry stop it.

Hundreds of armored Qin cavalry were like sharp arrows, piercing directly through the blocking formation of the Yuezhi people.

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

"happy!"

Fan Kuai, who was wearing iron armor and charging forward, brandished his horse lance, swept left and right, and stabbed forward.

Tens of thousands of Qin cavalry followed behind the five hundred heavy cavalry, also brandishing various weapons in their hands, following all the way, slashing wildly.

Where Qin Qi passed, the Yuezhi people were hacked off their horses one after another, screaming and rolling on the ground, and then being trampled by horseshoes.

In the other direction, although there were not 500 heavy armored cavalry to open the way, 10,000 Qin cavalry equipped with high saddles and stirrups also defeated the Yuezhi cavalry who blocked them.

"Xihou, the Qin people's weapons and armor are so good, let's run!"

The cronies screamed around.

Shuang Mihou's face twitched, and his eyes were fixed on the towering saddles on which the cavalrymen of the Qin Army sat. He was also an athlete on horseback when he was young, and he could see the function of the saddle at a glance.

But now is not the time to think about this. I saw that the warriors I stayed behind to block were not opponents of the Qin Army cavalry at all, and those Qin Army infantry armed with spears and lined up also rushed up, and were about to cooperate with those Qin Army cavalry generals. The tribes after their own death were killed.

Shuang Xihou's whole body trembled, this was the biggest crisis he had encountered in sixty years.

"run!"

"Come on for me!"

Shuangmi Xihou no longer looked at the battle situation behind him, his eyes were red, and he rushed forward desperately.

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

In addition to the 10,000 troops who stayed behind and entangled with Qin Qi on both sides, there were still 10,000 cavalry around Shuangmi Xihou. At this moment, Wan Qi was still very powerful as he charged forward.

In the direction of their escape, three thousand cavalrymen of the Qin Army appeared.

This is the cavalry who were chased by the Yuezhi people just now. Taking advantage of the time when the Yuezhi cavalry and the Qin army were shooting at each other, they circled a large circle from the side. direction.

Seeing that these Yueshi cavalry wanted to escape, the three thousand Qin cavalry also reacted immediately.

"These barbarians from the prairie chased us all the way just now, and now is the time for us to fight back!"

Guo Qing shouted at Sanqian Paoze.

He was the cavalry general appointed by Zhao Tuo, and he was deeply trusted, so he was assigned an extremely important task in this battle of trapping and killing the Yuezhi people.

Bringing 3,000 elite cavalry to lure the Yuezhi people to the trap. This task is very dangerous, but it is also very important, and it determines whether the entire battle can be started.

Now he has completed the first half of the task, leading 20,000 Yuezhi people to the front of the main battle formation, and started the encirclement.

Now, he's on his final mission.

Take the 3,000 cavalry under his command to stop those Yuezhi people from escaping.

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

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

"Daqin iron cavalry, go forward indomitable!"

Three thousand iron cavalry also shouted together, most of them were cavalry from Dai County, and they intended to die for the general.

Motivated at this moment, each one is full of fighting spirit.

Guo Qing took the lead, and three thousand cavalry charged forward, facing the fleeing ten thousand Yuezhi people.

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

The cavalry of the Qin army charged desperately. Although they had three thousand cavalry, they were stronger than the ten thousand Yue clan cavalry on the opposite side.

Such a desperate gesture frightened the oncoming Yuezhi people.

The Yuezhi and the Xiongnu were popular, if they benefited, they would advance, if they were unfavorable, they would retreat, and they fled without shame.

They thought they would win for sure. When chasing and killing the three thousand cavalrymen, everyone was like a dragon, fighting bravely to be the first.

Who wouldn't know how to beat a dog in the water?

But then they encountered the main force of the Qin army, were shot by crossbowmen for a while, and directly knocked out their vigor, and now they are in a state of fleeing for their lives. Naturally, everyone is selfish and just wants to escape and live.

No one would be foolish enough to fight head-on against a group of cavalry from the Qin army who were not afraid of death 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. When they were better than them, they didn't want to work hard.

In the case of such a huge gap in equipment, the price of desperately fighting is often that you are dead and the other party is still alive.

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

The Yuezhi people lost their courage. Facing the three thousand cavalry rushing towards Qin, no one had the intention of fighting. The leading Yuezhi cavalry all pulled the reins and fled to both sides.

The grassland is so big, and there is not really only one road. There are three thousand Qin cavalry blocking the road in front, and they just flee to the sides.

But in this way, the formation of the entire Yuezhi cavalry scattered, and the 10,000 Yuezhi cavalry became a mess, completely losing the ability to fight.

"Kill these barbarians!"

Three thousand Qin cavalry crashed straight into the Yueshi cavalry, tearing apart their already chaotic formation, hacking and killing indiscriminately, blood splattered everywhere, and severed limbs fell to the ground.

"Idiots! A bunch of idiots!"

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

"Xihou, run quickly, the cavalry of the Qin Army are coming towards us!"

His confidant Le Bula yelled.

Shuang Mi Xihou's eyes were wide open, and he really saw a group of cavalrymen from the Qin Army cut down the Yuezhi people who were blocking the way, and ran straight towards him.

"The one in the red robe is Xihou of the Yue family!"

"The one wearing the golden crown is Xihou of the Yue family!"

"The old man with the beard is Xihou of the Yue family!"

The cavalrymen of the Qin Army yelled, and each of them charged forward with red eyes.

Through Wuzhiluo's information, they already knew about the dresses of Yuezhi nobles.

Compared with those Yuezhi herdsmen who were dressed in tatters and their clothes were dirty and black, their outfits in red robes with golden crowns and golden crowns were like a fire in the dark, extremely conspicuous.

Shuangmi Xihou was terrified. He couldn't understand the words of those Qin people, but he was keen to discover the problem.

While the guards were going to stop the cavalrymen of the Qin army, Shuangmi Xihou patted his horse and wanted to escape, while untiing his red robe and throwing it on the ground, he took off the golden crown on his head, but he was not willing to throw it away in the end , and hang it on the horse.

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

Because Shuangmi Xihou was shocked to find that, except for the large formation of Qin Army infantry behind and three thousand Qin Army blocking the road in front, their sides were already surrounded by Qin Army cavalry, and there was really no escape route.

It turned out that he kept 10,000 cavalry behind him, and he was defeated by 500 heavy cavalry and 20,000 iron cavalry in one encounter, and then was massacred by the chasing Qin army infantry.

After the 20,000 cavalry of the Qin Army won the victory, they did not take advantage of the situation to catch up from behind and attack the 10,000 men of Marquis Shuangmixi, but left some cavalry to cooperate with the infantry to strangle the defeated Yuezhi cavalry, and the others separated again. Start from both sides to outflank the position where Shuangmi Xihou is located.

In this battle, what General Qin wants is not defeat, but annihilation!

There are three thousand cavalry blocking the way in front.

On both sides are 20,000 cavalry outflanking.

There are tens of thousands of heavily armed Qin army infantry chasing after them.

Surrounded on all sides, there is no escape.

Shuang Mi Xihou is a person who knows the current affairs, seeing the situation like this, he quickly cried out.

"I surrender! Our Shuangmi Department is willing to surrender to Qin State! Please also ask General Qin to accept our surrender!"

What answered him was the collective charge of the cavalry of the Qin Army.

After the 20,000 cavalry of the Qin Army completed the outflank, they began to charge into the circle, killing all the Yuezhi cavalry along the way.

Among them, there were 500 heavy cavalrymen who had no one to serve, and they went straight to those Yue clan nobles in gorgeous clothes.

"Naigong's promotion to the noble is today!"

Fan Kuai's eyes were wide open and his eyes were shining. Today is his first battle, and it is also his battle for promotion.

...

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

He said to Li Shiqi and Chen Ping, who were accompanying him on the left and right: "At the beginning, when Li Mu lured the Xiongnu to go south, it was mostly a strange formation. Zhang left and right wings attacked him and killed more than 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry. This method really works. Only by outflanking from left to right can we have a chance to wipe out this group of prairie wolves."

Li Shiqi clapped his palms and smiled: "The general's actions today are much better than Li Mu's. The encirclement plan, even if the 20,000 cavalry cannot be completely wiped out, it may be almost the same, and will also capture and kill Xihou of the Yue family here. , This kind of record is hard to come by in the world."

Chen Ping next to him rolled his eyes when he heard this. This Li Sheng is really good at flattering.

Not to be outdone, Chen Ping chose another angle and said: "The 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry is just an appetizer. After swallowing it, the general will lead the army back to attack the main force of the Yuezhi who attacked our army's grain team. You have achieved a world-shattering feat! The general's trick to lure the enemy is really a trick in the world, and I admire it from the bottom of my heart."

Faced with the compliments from the two advisers, Zhao Tuo did not fall into arrogance. He was already immune to these compliments. He had faith and vigilance in his heart, so naturally his mind would not be affected.

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

He turned his head and looked back, looking in the direction of the food team.

There, there was an even bigger battle.

"I don't know if my Wugang chariot formation can bring surprises to the Yuezhi people."
