General Qin

Chapter 594 Hun Warriors

What moved faster than the Huns was the arrows shot by the Qin army.

Just when the Xiongnu cavalry surrounded the Qin army's chariot formation and were about to shoot a wave with bows and arrows, the Qin army, which had been prepared for a long time, had already acted first under the order of General Wang Li.

Thousands of arrows were thrown and fell into the 20,000 Hun cavalry, which immediately caused a commotion.

In particular, some of the thick arrows were so powerful in range and power that they were able to hit the rear of the Huns, and directly drove the cavalry down from their mounts, causing everyone to shout.

Behind the 20,000 Huns, there is a small raised hill, which is flat enough for people and horses to stand on.

Touman Shanyu led his men up here to look at the battlefield. His eagle flag fluttered over the hill, bringing courage and confidence to the Huns below.

"Qin Jun can shoot arrows with his feet!"

Touman Shanyu looked a little surprised.

From his high position, he could see that behind the Qin army's chariot formation, a group of Qin army crossbowmen were sitting on the ground, shooting arrows with their legs.

Kick!

The arrows shot by this kind of crossbow are very powerful and have an extremely long range, surpassing the small bows in the hands of the Huns. It is a weapon beyond the imagination of the grassland people.

But after being surprised, Touman Shanyu quickly regained his composure.

Because in his opinion, no matter how good the Qin army's weapons and equipment are, they only have thousands of people crossing the river.

"Wu Luxu and Xu Budang will deal with these Qin people."

"Eat this Qin army, what do I think Zhao Tuo will do?"

...

Wuluxu and Xubudang, the two Guli kings of the Huns, were being shot down by the Qin army's arrows.

They didn't expect that Qin Nu's shooting range was so far, especially when the horse Xu Budang was sitting on was hit by Qin's arrow, screaming and jumping up, almost throwing him off.

Xu Budang hugged the horse's neck tightly with both hands, and the guards beside him hurried up to hold the horse tightly for him.

Xu Budang was on the horse, raised his head and screamed: "Rush up and shoot the arrow, shoot through these damned Qin people!"

Wu Luxu was also enraged by the rain of arrows shot by Qin Jun. He was almost hit by an arrow just now, and hurriedly gave the order to attack.

The Huns cavalry echoed. Although the Qin people's arrows were fierce, they were not many, and the damage caused by a round of shooting was not serious.

At this moment, under the order of the two kings, 20,000 Xiongnu warriors rode forward. After entering the range of bows and arrows, they pulled up the small short bows in their hands and shot at the Qin army in the chariot formation.

Nearly 20,000 cavalrymen of the Xiongnu shot together, and the rain of arrows could be said to be densely packed, far stronger than what the Qin people shot just now.

"Arrows are coming!"

In the car formation, Wang Ling yelled loudly, and rushed to the oar shield behind Wu Gang's car first, using the tall shield wall as cover.

Xi Juan, Wang Xi and other soldiers, when they heard Wang Ling's roar, fell to the ground to protect their vital points. Or a soldier with a shield immediately raised the shield in his hand to cover it.

There was a clanging sound, and tens of thousands of arrows flew over.

There were muffled hums in the car formation.

"What broken arrow, that's it?"

Xi Juan was hit by an arrow on his shoulder. He thought he was going to be seriously injured, but he didn't know that the Hun's arrow was made of bone, and its power was limited. When it hit the thick leather armor on his body, it failed. .

"Bah, it's not as good as Yuezhi."

Xi Juan spat in disdain.

He looked back and saw that except for some unlucky people in the car formation who happened to be shot in the face or neck and died, most of the Qin soldiers were basically fine because they were wearing helmets and thick leather armor. That is to say, after being pierced by the arrow, it pierced into the flesh without hurting the muscles and bones.

Even Xi Juan saw Qin Zu with twenty or thirty bone arrows stuck in his back, still jumping around lively.

This round of shooting by the Huns not only did not damage the morale of the Qin army, but made the Qin people more confident.

As strong and brave men who seized the river bank, each of them was fully armored, and they had a strong defense against the bone clusters and stone clusters of the Huns.

"Counterattack!"

The general order was issued, and the crossbow arrows of the Qin army shot into the crowd of the Huns again. This time, because of the approach of the Huns cavalry, the hit rate and power of the Qin army's arrows were enhanced.

In addition, the Huns had no armor, so they wore a layer of leather clothes and felt hats on their heads. When they were shot by the metal arrows of the Qin people, they immediately turned on their backs and screamed.

The two rounds of shooting by the Qin army caused hundreds of casualties to the Huns.

In the battle between cavalry archers and infantry crossbowmen, the outcome has been decided.

This time the two Gu Li kings couldn't bear it anymore.

"The Qin people have powerful bows and crossbows. We can't shoot them. It's better to let the warriors charge and smash the Qin army's chariot formation directly." Wu Luxu shouted.

Xu Budang had already changed his horse, and replied: "Then charge forward and break through the Qin people's chariot formation!"

With the order of the two Hun kings, the horn of desolation began to sound.

One after another, it resounded on this grassland and spread in all directions.

Wulu raised his arms and shouted: "Prairie warriors, crush the Qin army!"

"kill!"

Countless Huns howled in response, and amidst the sound of horns one after another, each and every one of the Huns cavalry had red eyes and rushed towards the Qin army's chariot formation.

In their view, the so-called chariot formation of the Qin people was just a wooden frame, which could not stop the charge of the Xiongnu army at all.

With just one round of sprinting, they were able to break through those wooden carts, rush into the Qin people behind the wooden carts, and kill them all. They even drove the Qin people into the river and drowned them alive.

Amidst the sound of the horn, the horseshoes trampled, shaking the ground beside the Beihe River.

Thousands of horses are galloping, as if they want to crush all enemies that stand in their way.

At this moment, on the bank of the Beihe River, the Qin Army's half-moon battle formation formed by hundreds of Wugang chariots seemed a little small and weak.

On the south bank of the river, the complexions of many high-ranking Qin soldiers who were watching the battle changed slightly.

Chen Ping, who was inexperienced in battle, couldn't help but said: "General, the Xiongnu cavalry are fierce, it's better to let the boat division come back, and then transport the soldiers to support General Wang."

"Not for now, I trust General Wang."

Zhao Tuo shook his head. Since he wanted to defeat the enemy with the Queyue Formation, he naturally couldn't transport too many troops there. Otherwise, if the Qin army had a large number, Touman Shanyu would probably withdraw, making the formation The victories were greatly reduced.

When to transport troops and when to cross the river in a large scale, we must pay attention to timing in battle.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Wang Li's 5,000 men can block the attack of the Huns' 20,000 cavalry.

"No problem."

Zhao Tuo's voice was low, he had confidence in the army under his command, and he also had confidence in the Huns.

Zhao Tuo picked up the binoculars again, glanced over the fierce battle field, looked at the hill on the opposite bank, and landed on Tou Manchanyu, who was laughing loudly.

On the hills, the flag of the eagle flutters.

Touman Shanyu laughed happily: "Hahaha, this round of charge is enough to crush thousands of Qin troops. I want to make Zhao Tuo regret coming to the grassland!"

He looked back at Su Jiasha who was standing beside him, and grinned: "However, this Zhao Tuo has some skills. This time I can defeat the Qin army and drive them away from the grassland. In the future, your son and I will be called 'Tuo' '."

Su Jiasha's eyes widened, and she froze.

Some tribes on the grasslands have a special custom. When a powerful enemy is defeated, the victor will use the enemy's name as the name of his son.

Today's Touman Chanyu is already dreaming about what will happen after he defeats Qin Jun.

The corners of Su Jiasha's mouth twitched slightly, forcing a smile at Tou Manchanyu.

General You, who was standing not far away, felt his scalp go numb.

Only Huyan Tiao and the others responded with a smile.

But their laughter only lasted for a moment, and then it was hoarse in their throats.

Because they saw the situation on the battlefield in the distance, it was not what they imagined at all. The Xiongnu Wanqi charged and crushed the Qin army into mud, and drove the Qin people in the chariot formation into the river.

Facing the charge of the Huns, the Qin army in the chariot formation seemed to have been prepared. They set up hundreds of crossbows, and then used special short spears as arrows.

In an instant, it was like the sound of wind and thunder.

The short spears flew, and the Hun cavalry who rushed to the front of the formation were thrown over on the spot, and they fell off their horses screaming.

What's more, a short spear can pierce through several Huns in a row, and even penetrate directly into the body of a war horse, rolling to the ground together with the man and the horse.

The cavalry charged on a large scale. When the cavalry in the front row rolled to the ground, many people and horses behind stepped on them, trampling the rolling people and horses to death, and the horses in the rear were tripped and fell down together with the knights on their backs. Next, become the new trampled.

In such chaos, at the rear of the Wugang chariot formation, soldiers of the Qin Army held spears measuring one foot long and discharged them into the gaps between the Wugang chariots.

The shiny spear tip is facing the Hun cavalry who rushed through the arrow rain and the short spear...

Reference example:

"Zizhi Tongjian": Yu sent the leader of the Baizhi team, Ding Yi, 700 soldiers and 100 chariots, crossed the north bank, and went to the water for more than 100 steps, forming the Queyue formation. After the matter was over, a white tree was erected; the people of Wei didn't understand what it meant, so they didn't move. Yu first ordered Ningshuo General Zhu Chaoshi to enforce martial law. After the white scorpion was lifted, Chaoshi commanded two thousand people to gallop to him, armed with a hundred crossbows, twenty men per car, and Peng Pai on the shaft. When the people of Wei saw that the camp had been established, they encircled it. Changsun Songshuai 30,000 cavalry assisted him, attacking the camp with thin flesh on all sides, and the crossbow could not control it. Shichao Shibie and the sledgehammer consisted of more than a thousand lances. The broken lances were three or four feet long, and they were hammered with hammers. One lance pierced through three or four people. Wei soldiers can't be, they collapse in a moment, and the dead pile up
