Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 236 Back to the Carbine

"General, General Qiang Yan is here to support us."

"No, why is General Qiang Yan's army Wang Qi?"

"Which soldier's army is that?"

The 100 people held torches high in their hands, looked at the handsome flag in the distance suspiciously, and frowned.

This is General Wang Li's commander-in-chief. It turned out that Wang Li knew that General Zhang Han was in danger, so he ignored Li You's dissuasion and went to support him.

Unexpectedly, his disobedience to the military order bought time for the troops and saved the endangered Zhang Han to a certain extent.

Wang Li only had [-] cavalry, but he staged a massive battle, with thunder and drums rumbling, and banners blowing fiercely, giving people the illusion of [-] cavalry.

Mao Dun heard that a troop was coming from afar, and learned from the scouts that there were about [-] horsemen, which frightened Mao Dun.

When he came to surprise Zhang Han, he ordered scouts to inquire about the news. It would take two days for Qiang Yan, more than a day for galloping lightly, and five days for Li Xin. The distance is too far. Could it be that they can't move in an instant?
"Is the news reliable?" Mao Dun asked with sharp eyes like a knife.

The scout was frightened and said tremblingly, "Shan Yu is absolutely true, we must retreat!"

Mao Dun's face was solemn, and he ordered the scouts to investigate again. Right now, they have already fought with Zhang Han's army, and they are about to burn all the food, grass and equipment of the Qin army. They are already war horses on the cliff. Once they retreat, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Mao Dun ordered: "Quick battle, no delay, end the battle quickly, and burn all the granaries."

Mao Dun calmly analyzed, spread out the map, pointed out a route with his hand, and said slowly to the general: "You lead two thousand soldiers along this road to harass the Qin army's camp, and burn all their food and grass. The whole army retreats"

On the other side, Zhang Hanjun fell to the ground, his face was covered with mud and blood, his legs were limp and weak, and he was helped up by a hundred generals.

The battlefield was chaotic, full of hysterical wailing, all fell to the ground, and most of these were Qin soldiers.

The hundred generals of the soldiers pointed to the flying flag in the distance and said: "General, you can't fall down, the soldiers can still fight, once you fall, the soldiers have no fighting spirit and can only be slaughtered."

"General, hold on a little longer. General Qiang Yan will come to support us soon. We can delay for a while."

"We hold the rations of 15 soldiers in our hands. We have fallen, what will they do?"

Zhang Han got up tremblingly, the sound of rapid breathing was clearly visible, his hands trembled slightly, but he held the long sword tightly while enduring the severe pain.

With the remaining strength, he rushed into the enemy camp and beheaded three Hun soldiers one after another.

Seeing Zhang Han getting up, the surrounding Qin army rushed forward to fight with the Hun soldiers, protecting General Zhang Han to death.

Hundreds of personal soldiers said: "General, we have no way out. The front is the Xiongnu, and the rear is food and grass. Only a life-and-death struggle can have a chance of survival."

Suddenly, a scout was involved in the strangling of the two armies, rushed in front of Zhang Han, and hurriedly said: "General, dare to come to the rear to support the army, there are about [-] cavalry, and it is the army of the general Wang Li."

Zhang Han took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and yelled, "The whole army attacked and launched a counterattack against the Xiongnu, and defeated the Xiongnu."

Although [-] iron cavalry could not wipe out the Huns, it was more than enough to repel the Huns and preserve the food and grass of the army.

The smiles on the faces of Zhang Han and all the soldiers instantly ignited their fighting spirit, rushed into the Huns' cavalry camp, and swung their spears to stab them off their horses.

The [-] iron cavalry led by Wang Li also divided into two groups, and [-] infantry went to protect the food, grass and supplies, preventing the Xiongnu from taking the opportunity to attack.

Originally, they could destroy all Zhang Han and then destroy the granary, but the situation on the battlefield quickly reversed. The Qin army came with troops, and they claimed to have [-] cavalry, and more troops would dare to come in the future.

Mao Dun could only target the granaries of the Qin army. Once they burned all the granaries, their purpose of this surprise attack would be achieved, and they would be able to retreat completely.

But the granary was the key protection object of the Qin army. Fifteen thousand cavalry faced two thousand light cavalry of the Huns. How could the soldiers of the Huns be the opponents of the Qin army?

When the Xiongnu soldiers rushed into the camp and looked around for the granary, [-] Qin troops rushed out and defeated the Huns.

Only a few soldiers escaped and went to report to Maodun's army.

In the barracks, Mao Dun looked solemn, but the scouts rushed into the camp and told him that the plan to burn the granary had failed, his face showed a trace of ferocity, and he said coldly: "It seems that the Qin army has come to the camp of the Chinese army to protect the granary. , are we doomed to fail again this time?"

Thinking of [-] iron cavalry, is it going to be a death sentence?

These [-] cavalry are the elite of the Huns, can they still defeat the Qin army if they get it?

But that night Lu still advised: "Shanyu, it's okay to fight them to the death, but after they are all beheaded, the Qin army's reinforcements from the Qiang army will arrive. It's cheap at that point!"

Mao Dun is already worried, is the Qin army really [-] cavalry?

If [-] cavalry came to support, why didn't the scouts inquire earlier.

Mao Dun still hesitated, and said solemnly: "Quickly investigate the number of the Qin army. I still don't believe in the [-] cavalry."

On the battlefield, Wang Li led his army to strangle with the Huns.

In Wang Li's mind, Maodun almost wiped out Yunzhong's army with tricks, and now he has led [-] cavalry to take revenge.

Wang Li's eyes were ferocious, his face was ferocious, and his eyeballs were full of red threads. This time, he must make the Xiongnu soldiers face the price.

Wang Li led the army to rush into the Xiongnu army. Wang Li's attack was swift and fierce. Hundreds of generals fell in front of him one after another, and hundreds of soldiers also died under his spear.

Zhang Han saw that Wang Li led his army to break in. He took the remaining [-] remnants and the Huns to death.

Facing the successive attacks of the two tiger generals, the Huns were defeated and retreated.

Scouts kept rushing into the camp of the Chinese army, telling Maodun that the Qin army was attacking swiftly and admonishing Maodun's entire army to retreat.

Mao Dun was still waiting for the scout's information, but soon the Huns were forced to retreat five miles, which made Mao Dun break out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the Qin army really had [-] cavalry?
Suddenly, a scout came to report and said happily: "The general has found out the details of the Qin army. This army is led by Wang Li. Although I don't know the exact number of the Qin army, as a lieutenant general, Wang Li can command at most [-] cavalry. "

Mao Dun's eyes were cold, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said calmly: "In other words, the Qin army has at most five thousand infantry, but they fought hard to give us the illusion of twenty thousand cavalry."

That being the case, why don't we fight and retreat at the same time, Wang Li takes advantage of the victory to pursue, we will turn around and strangle the Qin army in one fell swoop
