Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 220

Vultures and crows circled overhead, and the entire mouth of the river was strewn with corpses, most of which were the corpses of the Qin people and their war horses, or there were soldiers of the Huns.

With few enemies, they were still no match after all, and five thousand soldiers were quickly sucked into the meat grinder.

When the two generals saw the soldiers falling down one after another, their eyes were bloodshot. They held their spears tightly with both hands and stabbed the chests of the Hun soldiers in front. They heard screams one after another, and the Hun soldiers fell one after another.

The dazzling white armor was hunting under the blowing of the north wind, they were caught in the army, but they still did not flinch, killing the enemy to avenge the dead robes.

But in the face of hundreds of enemies armed with long halberds, General Pi was still invincible, and was soon stabbed so cold that blood spattered from many holes in his body.

Another general was also stabbed, but he quickly calmed down and shouted, "The whole army retreats, retreating to the southwest!"

Almost all of the 200 infantry were killed in this battle, and only [-] barely escaped from the encirclement of the Huns.

King Youxian looked steady, watching the Xiongnu go away, watching the raging fire, the smoke billowing in the granary and the food getting more and more prosperous, his eyes were full of hatred for the people of Qin.

Although it is not clear how the people of Qin knew the location of the food and baggage, since the people of Qin dared to come, they could not escape unscathed, and I would use their blood to make up for my own advantage.

King Youxian immediately ordered that all [-] Xiongnu infantry wear horses, and the remaining [-] were responsible for guarding against the enemy.

The fire is still all burned out. In this case, we will cut off the heads of the dead Qin people and use their tender meat juice to make soup. When we return in triumph, we will taste fresh human flesh.

Two hundred infantry galloped quickly, and the right sage king behind him was still relentless and ordered the cavalry to shoot arrows on the horse. The Qin army also began to shoot arrows and fight back. Many soldiers on both sides fell down one after another.

But the legs of the infantry still couldn't escape the four legs of the cavalry horses, but the [-] cavalry that Meng Tian had prepared again were in charge of responding, and soon the two hundred infantry seemed to have found the team, boasted of the horses, and quickly retreated.

The Xiongnu soldiers chased after them and took turns to attack with arrows. However, these thousand cavalry were well-equipped, and ordinary bows and crossbows could hardly penetrate them. The soldiers of Qin State smiled slightly.

But the Qin soldiers were different. With the three harnesses of stirrups, saddles and horseshoes, they could come and go freely on the horse, and shot the Huns in turn. Facing the rain of arrows, the Huns fell one after another.

The soldiers of the Huns quickly tightened their horses and accelerated their gallop. Although many soldiers fell down on the horse, they still did not have any thoughts of retreating, and charged forward with their own strength.

The Xiongnu soldiers were not stupid. They saw that the armor of the Qin army was indestructible, but the horses were defenseless at all, so King Youxian immediately ordered: "Ten thousand cavalry, shoot all the horses of the Qin army, and let them fall off the horses."

King Youxian's words brightened everyone's eyes, with faint smiles on their faces, they all bent their bows and set arrows, and shot at their horses.

Sure enough, as King Youxian expected, the horse of the Qin army was bleeding after being shot, and swayed back and forth from the severe pain. The soldiers of the Qin army lost their balance, and quickly fell off the horse and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing that the Huns found a flaw, General Pi immediately shouted loudly: "Ride quickly and go to the preparation location to assemble!"

The Qin army quickly thought of marching on the hilly land. The land was called Baideng Mountain, and it was also the place where Liu Bang was besieged by Maodun later. However, the identities of the Xiongnu and Daqin were reversed.

Meng Tian stood on a high place, watching the [-] cavalry galloping up the Baishan Mountain. The Qin flag with white characters on the black background was buzzing, and his face was filled with joy, but when he saw the black Xiongnu soldiers following behind, his expression gradually became serious.

Seeing the Qin army being shot off their horses one after another, many soldiers gritted their teeth, wishing they could rush up to fight the Huns soldiers.

Meng Tian also clenched his fists suddenly, but the Xiongnu soldiers have not yet entered the encirclement, if they try to rescue them, King Youxian can only find out that this is a trick and escape quickly, and the encirclement and suppression will end in failure.

Immediately, Meng Tian said to the soldiers: "Everyone hide quickly, the Huns are coming soon, but we can't just watch Paozhe die, once the Huns soldiers enter our encirclement, we will rush up to avenge the dead Paozhe! "

The morale of the soldiers was high, and they had been holding back their energy for a long time. When they knew that King Youxian was coming, they had a gratified smile on their faces. This time, they had to kill a few more heads to relieve their hatred.

The [-] iron cavalry in the distance galloped quickly and came to the vicinity of Baideng Mountain. Watching the Qin soldiers passing through the canyon, King You Xian's face gradually became dignified.

Under the moonlight, King Youxian was still very calm. It is impossible for the Qin army to have only fifteen thousand soldiers. The reason why they dared to escape was because there were ambush soldiers waiting for them.

If it is passed through the canyon like this, it is likely to be completely wiped out by the Huns.

That being the case, it is better to pretend to retreat to lure the Qin army to appear from the valley, and then suddenly make a detour, killing them by surprise.

As soon as King Youxian gave the order, the Marquis of You Gu raised his voice against it. If they didn't pursue them, wouldn't these soldiers escape, and it would be impossible to make up for the loss.

But Youxian King still resisted all opinions and took the initiative to retreat. Meng Tian, ​​who was lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain, frowned. It seemed that Youxian King was not stupid and did not attack rashly.

But the soldiers of the Huns want to lure them to take the initiative to attack, I am afraid it is wishful thinking!

Before the Xiongnu soldiers retreated, thousands of chariots suddenly rushed out from behind them. They lined up in a long line and opened their bloody mouths, as if they wanted to swallow the Huns soldiers alive.

The Xiongnu soldiers had never seen a chariot before, and they thought it was a god descending to earth, so their legs trembled in fright. Fortunately, King Youxian stabilized the situation in time, and said slowly, this is just a chariot of the Qin army, and there are soldiers in the chariot , once approached will give the enemy a fatal blow.

It's just that King Youxian didn't know that these chariots had been improved. There was a gap in the chariot that could be equipped with a bow and crossbow, and they could still shoot with a bow and crossbow from a long distance.

This time the Huns fell to the ground one after another, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.

King Youxian also fired a bow and arrow for a round of shooting, but facing the steel shield, the bow and crossbow could do nothing. King Youxian sent a vanguard force of [-] riders to charge, but when they slowly approached the chariot, the inside of the chariot The soldiers of the Huns quickly appeared and beheaded the Huns soldiers.

King Youxian was dumbfounded when he saw this, and had no choice but to order to go to the valley for safety. When they entered the valley, they could not help it. Meng Tian gave an order, and the soldiers who were ambushing on both sides suddenly came out.

At the same time, in the barracks, Chen Yu said slowly: "This time almost all the Huns have left, and our chance has come."
