Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 225 Inhabitation
Wang Li looked at the dust flying in the distance, and a troop of [-] cavalry came rushing in, his expression changed, but Huyanjilu's expression turned a little better. After all, Wang Li had tricked him.

A few days ago, Huyanjilu adopted a strategy of successive defeats to let the Qin army relax its vigilance and take the initiative to attack from the camp. Then he cooperated with Maodun to wipe out Wang Li's army in one fell swoop.

Qin Jun's face became pale and powerless, and he was a little at a loss. The two armies in the front and back could not advance, and they could retreat, so they could only be dumped alive.

Wang Li analyzed the situation and found that there were troops both front and back, with the Beilu Mountains to the west and the great rivers to the east, all four sides were dangerous moves.

Either side of the two enemy forces will suffer heavy losses. On the mountains, the Huns must have defenders in their camps. It seems that they can only escape by crossing the river.

But the Qin army is not good at water warfare, and there are no large boats. Only half of the [-] soldiers are cavalry. Maybe they can cross the river on horseback, but half of the Qin army's infantry still cannot cross the river. Is it possible to abandon these infantry?
Wang Li pondered for a moment, and felt that it was better not to take the risk, and took the initiative to fight the cavalry led by Mao Dun. Although the Qin army had the advantage in weapons, it had no advantage in the face of the Qin army twice as large as itself. The national fighting power on horseback Sturdy, fighting against the Qin army unexpectedly broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.

Wang Li was taught a lesson by Modun because of his youthful vigor, and only [-] of the [-] pacers survived.Wang Li's personal guards were almost killed by Mao Dun.

Wang Li also fought against Mao Dun himself, and was almost cut off from his horse. Wang Li could only lead his cavalry to escape and went to the Baiyang Mountain camp to defend.

All the ten thousand cavalry unloaded their equipment, followed the infantry to defend, and lined up with chariots to defend.

Mao Dun resolutely took advantage of the victory and pursued, trying to annihilate Wangli's army in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles. If Li Xin and Qiang Li came to support, it might be bad for the Xiongnu, so a quick battle must be done.

The first round of onslaught began. The Qin army did not rest in the camp a few days ago, but searched for rolling logs and stones nearby to resist the Huns' onslaught. , personally shot one of the generals off the horse to boost the morale of the soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the rolling logs and stones slowly stepped out of the camp, and the rain of arrows also fell, hitting the thighs or arms of the soldiers of the Huns, and even hitting the horses, and the soldiers fell off the horses and ate the dirt instantly.

But even the violent rolling of logs could not resist the blood of the Huns' soldiers charging, and Mao Dun personally charged into the battle to boost morale, and the Huns charged into the battle with high spirits regardless of life and death.

Wang Li's eyebrows were condensed into a ball, the armor was soaked in cold sweat, and he said solemnly: "The chariots are out, don't let the Huns enter the camp!"

Facing the chariot soldiers, Moton did not react too much. His father, Touman, explained to them that this is the best tactic against the charge of the Qin soldiers. A fatal blow from a soldier is enough to overwhelm a cavalry.

Seeing this, Mao suddenly ordered: "Destroy as many chariots as possible, you can use any means!"

Since it is unscrupulous, it should be destroyed with fire and spear guns, but the appearance of the chariot is already hard armor, even if it is burned by fire, it will not help. The soldiers stabbed the Hun soldiers to death with one shot, or shot them with bows and crossbows.

Hundreds of chariots formed a majestic barrier, and Mao Dun was a little at a loss. Looking at all the fallen soldiers, he gritted his teeth and could only order to retreat, looking for a new way to conquer.

In the next three days, Huyan Jilu led the army to rush forward one after another, consuming the rolling logs and stones of Wang Li's soldiers.

After resisting the attacks of the Huns again and again, the bows and arrows were picked up by the Huns, and the rolling logs and rocks were gradually consumed. Seeing that there was not much left, Wang Li was so anxious that he was going to be buried here?
Due to the situation, the Qin army could only dismantle the barriers in the tent into huge stones to resist the attack of the Huns.

After another three days of fierce attack by the Huns, the soldiers were exhausted. Who could bear it?
In addition, the food and grass were about to be exhausted, and the soldiers could only use water instead of food, and their stomachs became uncomfortable.

While Mao Dun was still analyzing the chariot formation in the barracks, he said to Hou Na Yelu and Huyan Jilu, the left and right capitals: "The Huns' chariot formation has a huge advantage. If our army does not conquer the chariot formation, we will not be able to step into the center." Army camp, confront the Qin army at close range."

If you don't fight with the Qin army, the Qin army can wait until the reinforcements come, and then the inside and outside will cooperate, and the Huns will be defeated.

However, the Qin army's chariot formation was the main obstacle to the army's attack. If the chariot formation could not be overcome, the soldiers would have died in vain in the past few days.

If it is possible to lure the chariot formation to appear and encircle them, but it is not so easy, Wang Li's army is small, and they were defeated a few days ago, it is impossible for Wang Li to leave the camp.

Seeing Mao Dun's chest hurting, Ye Lu said slowly, "The intermediary also has a way to fight against the car formation."

Mao Dun's eyes lit up, and he ordered Na Yelu to continue.

Na Yelu explained that the infantry can be arranged in a circular car formation composed of luggage and baggage carriages, and the cavalry can be arranged at the front and two wings of the car formation.

In this way, not only can the mobility of the cavalry be brought into play, but also the strengths of one's own side defending against danger can be maximized.

But this kind of tactics is a way to fight against the attacking car formation, and I am afraid that there is nothing to do with the defensive car formation in the camp.

The next day, Mao Dun killed his horse as a living horse doctor and ordered his troops to attack on foot, but the effect was not great, especially under the rain of arrows, the infantry had no shields and could only be shot to death, Mao Dun beat the drum again to withdraw his troops.

But this time, all the rolling logs, stones, bows and crossbows in Wang Li's barracks were consumed, and Wang Li could only put the defense center on the chariot soldiers.

The food and grass supplies were only enough to last for three days, which heightened the soldiers' sense of crisis.

But Mao Dun stopped attacking, and waited for the soldiers to run out of food and grass, and focused their work on encircling the points to fight for reinforcements, surrounded Wang Li, and drove back the reinforcements, so that Wang Li would be defeated when the food and grass ran out.

The Qin army rested peacefully in the barracks. The Xiongnu ordered the soldiers to attack in turn, exhausting the energy of the Qin army. The face of the Qin army was obviously yellow and thin. Although the water source was replenished, the lack of sugar in the body still caused many diseases, and many soldiers died inside. .

Wang Li wanted to pay for his impulsiveness this time, so he could only hope for reinforcements from Li Xinqiang, but the army hadn't arrived, and there was no news from the barracks. Could it be that the scouts didn't deliver the news, could it be Qin General, can we give up?

The hope of the soldiers was almost exhausted, and finally a new round of attack came again. Wang Li was ashamed, and the chariot formation also had a weak defense. , Mao Dun suddenly beat the drum to withdraw the troops, and the rumbling [-] army actually retreated on its own initiative
