General Qin

After the Xiongnu rose from the central grassland, their troops headed southward, pointing directly at the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Yan in Zhuxia. Every year, they went south to plunder and fought many times with the border troops of the three countries.

In the face of the invasion of the Hu people, the Three Kingdoms built the Great Wall to defend themselves and were in a passive defensive situation. One of the reasons was that the quality of cavalry was far inferior to those nomads who lived on horseback since childhood.

Even the Zhao cavalry after Hu Fu rode and shot, moving around on the horse, the shooting skills of archery and fighting are still far behind that of the Huns.

Often a dozen or so Xiongnu cavalry could outwit hundreds of Zhuxia cavalry on the grassland. This was their equestrian advantage.

Therefore, in the past when Li Mu defeated the Xiongnu, his core strength also relied on more than 100,000 infantry and archers, and the total number of chariots and cavalry was only more than 10,000. This is the gap between Hu and Xia in cavalry.

This is also the reason why Xu Budang dared to lead people to fight against the cavalry of the Qin army even when he was at a disadvantage.

He has confidence in the Huns cavalry under his command!

Even when he saw the five hundred heavy cavalry rushing towards him, after being shocked by the gorgeous equipment, he was still optimistic.

"With such a heavy armor and such a long spear, how can you sit still on the horse? Shooting an arrow at you, even if you can't break the armor, can make you lose your balance and fall from the horse. The Qin people think that fighting immediately , can you win with just equipment?"

Xu Budang looked at Qin Jun's weapons and equipment jealously, and cursed viciously.

However, when the Qin army's heavy cavalry approached, the Xiongnu warriors, who were proud of horse battles, still showed a look of horror on their faces.

These five hundred heavy cavalrymen were all big-bodied, wearing heavy armor, and armed with horses with a length of one foot and eight feet. They roared in their mouths, and the horses under their command galloped like flying, making a deafening neighing sound. , rushing forward with an indomitable momentum, that posture seems to be able to crush everything.

The burly man rushing to the front shouted in a Qin local dialect that no one could understand, "The wild dogs of the Xiongnu, Nai Gong Fan Kuai, are here to cut off your dog's head!"

Under such terrifying power, how dare those Huns with short knives and spears and wearing only furs dare to resist, they yelled and reined in their horses to avoid it.

Some daring Huns shot from a distance with bows and arrows, trying to shoot these heavy cavalry off their horses.

The arrow hit the iron armor of the Qin people, making a clanging sound, and the knight on the horse didn't move at all, still sitting firmly on the horse's back.

This scene horrified the Huns even more. Why do these Qin people look like they grow on horses?

Some clever Huns set their eyes on the high saddles under these Qin people's seats, and even caught a glimpse of the metal rings on their feet.

This is horse fighting equipment that the Huns have never seen before.

The speed of the cavalry battle was very fast. Just when the Huns had just discovered some clues, the heavy armored cavalry of the Qin army had already rushed forward and entered the Huns cavalry formation.

Fan Kuai held a horse spear and stabbed the enemy in front of him like lightning, spraying blood.

"happy!"

Fan Kuai yelled loudly, waved his horse, swept one on the left, and stabbed one on the right.

The Xiongnu cavalry was terrified. The weapons in their hands were not as long as the Qin army's horses. Before they could reach the opponent, they were stabbed off the horse. The armor of the knights of the Qin army couldn't break through the defense, but they were knocked off their horses by the opponent.

No amount of effort could hurt these heavily armored knights of the Qin army, but they would be killed on the spot if they were hit by them.

Such a comparison instantly broke the hearts of the Huns.

"Heavenly Soldiers!"

Some Huns screamed and fled on horseback in fear.

They are originally a nation that advances when it is beneficial, and retreats when it is unfavorable. Now that the situation is not right, it is natural that "the wind is tight."

Fan Kuai was brave and fierce, and with the five hundred heavily armored knights behind him like a sharp arrow, he pierced through the Huns' cavalry formation instantly, broke the morale of the Huns cavalry, and crushed the entire Huns cavalry formation.

The 10,000 Qing cavalry of the Qin army who followed the heavy cavalry rushed up, waved their weapons and began to chase and kill the fleeing Huns.

"It's over!"

Youguli King Xu Budang's face was ashen, he never expected that the cavalry of the Qin people would be so brave.

The Xiongnu warriors he was proud of were vulnerable to the Qin people. They were defeated in a confrontation, and they didn't even have the strength to fight back.

Who is the horse nation?

Xu Budang reined in his horse and wanted to escape, but he was horrified to find that the heavy cavalry of the Qin army seemed to be after him.

The gorgeous gold ornaments on his body, which are different from ordinary herdsmen's attire, have already betrayed his identity as King Youguli.

"The leader of the Xiongnu is not going away, Nai Gong is coming!"

The leader, a strong man from the Qin Dynasty, galloped towards him with a yelling horse. The horse in his hand waved like a whirlwind, and no one could stop him.

Touman Shanyu and Yi Hanxie in the rear were so frightened that their souls scattered.

"Our Huns actually lost to the Qin people in the horse battle?"

Tou Manchanyu was a little dazed.

He fought with the Qin people several times, although he didn't get any advantage, and was plotted by Zhao Tuo several times, but he still had a sense of arrogance in his heart.

That is the invincible riding skills of the Huns!

Touman Shanyu always believed that the reason why Zhao Tuo was able to defeat the Xiongnu was nothing more than the use of despicable means such as fraud, deception, night raids, and car arrays.

If these were put aside and the two sides confronted one-on-one on the grassland, the Huns would never lose.

Especially in horse battles, how could those southern "mountain infantry" be the opponents of their horseback nation, it is completely impossible!

Today's battle completely shattered his faith.

Although the Huns had the disadvantage of coming from afar and being exhausted, they were indeed defeated by the cavalry of the Qin army in a frontal battle.

In addition to the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands, those Qin people are all like equestrian masters. They are so flexible on horseback that they can let go of the reins and wield weapons with both hands at the same time. Among the Huns, Na can also be called a master of equestrianism.

"Why are the cavalry of the Qin people so powerful?"

Touman Shanyu still felt incredible.

Hu Yantiao, the Marquis of Zuo Gudu, came galloping with a frightened face, and shouted, "Da Shanyu, run quickly, we've lost! The royal court's elite can't handle it anymore!"

One word awakened Tou Manchanyu, he looked left and right, and sure enough, he saw that apart from Xu Budang in the front being defeated by the Qin army, the elite Wang Ting who he had sent to both sides to fight with the Yueshi cavalry were also defeated one after another. .

The Yuezhi people were originally a grassland nation not inferior to the Xiongnu, and the two sides were on par in equestrian skills.

Now the 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry were taught their skills by the Qin people. They made crude Takahashi saddles and stirrups out of leather and wood. Just when the two sides fought each other, the Xiongnu cavalry fell to the disadvantage and were suppressed and beaten by the Yuezhi people.

After the Youguli King's Department in front was smashed by the Qin cavalry, the Xiongnu cavalry who were responsible for resisting on both sides also lost their will to fight and began to retreat, and were smashed by the Yuezhi cavalry in an instant.

Now there are deserters everywhere, and the cavalry of the Qin army and the Yuezhi began to cover up and kill them on a large scale. The defeat of the Xiongnu is irreversible.

"Big Chanyu, withdraw quickly!"

Yi Hanxie also yelled loudly.

In addition to his identity as the right general of the Huns, he also has another secret identity in the Qin army.

But on this turbulent battlefield, Yi Hanxie didn't dare to act recklessly. Those cavalrymen of the Qin Army who were frantically grabbing military merits couldn't understand his nonsense, and they were not stingy at giving him a knife in the neck, and chopped off the nobleman of the Xiongnu. The head is exchanged for military merit.

Touman Shanyu immediately came to his senses. He glared fiercely at the commander-in-chief of the Qin army in the distance, and spat, "God damn Zhao Tuo!"

"Hun warriors, retreat!"

He immediately retreated on his horse, and ran to the south under the protection of Huyan Tiao, Yi Hanxie, and thousands of Shanyu's personal soldiers.

In the south, there are still Zuoguli King Wuluxu and tens of thousands of other Xiongnu nobles on their way.

"Xu Bu is finished, I will take Wu Luxu and other tribes to escape here, and go to the east to join forces with Donghu and avenge the Qin people together!"

"I swear, I will take revenge on the people of Qin. I will cut off Zhao Tuo's head with my own hands and use it as a drinking vessel!"

Touman Chanyu gritted his teeth, speaking the language of revenge in his heart.

However, when he was escorted by his personal guards, he managed to get out of the main battlefield and arrived a few miles to the south, but he was horrified to find that this was also a battlefield.

No wonder Wu Luxu didn't support him to the front.

Here, the Huns and the Yuezhi people were fighting each other, smoke and dust were everywhere, the horses collided with each other, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

"That Su Jiasha sent an envoy to catch up on a fast horse and asked to see King Zuoguli. He said that there were traces of cavalry from the Qin Army in the rear, and there were a lot of cavalry. As soon as I asked about the situation behind, I was assassinated by the messenger on the spot. Our army was in chaos, and the Yuezhi people behind took advantage of the chaos and killed them!"

A disgraced Xiongnu nobleman covered in blood cried and told Touman Shanyu what had just happened.

"Wu Luxu was assassinated?"

Tou Manchanyu felt dizzy for a while.

Although Zuoguli King Wuluxu was his opponent and fought a civil war with him, but now facing the invasion of the Qin people, they are the most staunch allies.

Now that Wu Luxu was killed, his tribe was in chaos, and the Yuezhi people from behind took advantage of the situation to rush over and attack him. This was equivalent to a plan to kill Man Chanyu and gather Zuoguli King's tribe, and then fight and retreat.

"Su Jiasha, bitch, if you dare to betray me, I will kill you!"

Touman Chanyu roared angrily.

His voice was majestic and stern, filled with boundless hatred, and it swayed far and wide on this grassland.

Then, Su Jiasha's attention was attracted.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the thousands of Huns who came from the north.

"Touman is there!"

"Warrior of the Yue clan, kill Touman!"
