Huan Rong

Taiyuan seventh year, November

Outside the city of Shuofang, trumpets sounded, drums burst out, and banners covered the sky.

Amidst the sound of horns, people in the Gaoche Wusun camp neighed loudly, and instead of seeing the orderly appearance of the army, it became more and more noisy.

After the order to attack was issued, the leaders of various ministries assembled cavalry one after another, mounted their horses and left the camp.

The army was divided into three groups: left, middle and right, and rushed towards the camp of the Qin army.

The leader of Chile led his troops to defect to the enemy and rescued the flying cavalry who sent the letter from Qin. The leader of the Di clan was furious when he got the report.

Considering that the leaders of the six ministries gathered together and did not want to be ridiculed by other ministries, the leader of the Di family adopted the counselor's suggestion, forcibly suppressed his anger, and concealed the fact that the Qin soldiers escaped. past.

Although Wusun Kunmi has regrets, since a person is dead, he cannot question the corpse.

The leader of Gaoche's Five Departments had doubts, and looked at the leader of Dishi with a very wrong look.

The Qin soldiers were strong, and they could attack day and night, attacking without sleep, and then won a big victory.

Under the strong soldiers storming the city, those who can be sent for help must be the best of the best.Can't survive a whip, seriously injured to death?What a big joke!

However, it was Di Shi who caught the man, and Di Shi also obtained the interrogation statement, and it was Di Shi who confirmed that Shuofang's troops were insufficient and that the Qin Emperor was spared the war and was waiting for help.

Combining various reasons, Wusun Kunmi obviously trusted Di Shi more.

Opening your mouth at this time and pointing out that things are different may not be of much benefit.What's more, Shuofang City's request for help proved to be true, and it was imperative for the army to attack.The alliance is already loose, if there is another discord, the war may not go smoothly.

Under many concerns, the leader of the Di clan easily got away with his lame excuses, and no one raised any questions face to face.

After returning to the camp, the leader of the Di family was still out of breath, and suddenly drew out his long knife and chopped it on a horse stake.

"Break through Shuofang City in this battle, and you will definitely wipe out every small part of it!"

The counselor stood behind the leader, with his hands sleeved in front of him, his face remained unchanged, and he only said that the leader would surely win the battle.It wasn't until Chief Di's strode away that a twisted smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, cruel and crazy.

Convinced that Shuofang's troops were insufficient, Gaoche and Wusun's army rushed out and attacked Qin's army in three directions, vowing to win the opponent in one battle.

Whether Wusun Kunmi or the leader of Gao Che, they are desperate and must win this victory.

The reason for the next decision is really a bit of a last resort.

Going south is to plunder, and to survive the disaster year.

At first, the plan went smoothly, step by step as expected.With the appearance of Qin Jing under Shuofang City, the situation changed, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, which lasted for more than half a month.

Fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, the hearts of the Gaoche Wusun tribes are floating.Some small tribes are complaining about the sudden cold weather, they cannot plunder cattle and sheep, and it is meaningless to continue guarding under the city of Shuofang. It is better to plunder the weakly guarded counties and counties, and return to Mobei early with the looted things.

The word reached Wusun Kunmi and the leaders of Gaoche's Six Departments, and they all knew that the situation was not good.If they can no longer attack Shuofang City, without Qin Jing sending troops, the coalition forces will "split".

Therefore, the leader of the Di family obtained Qin Jing's personal statement and Qin Bing's confession, and everyone discussed it, and soon decided to send troops.

The sound of the horn pierced through the new wind, and the sound of horseshoes was like thunder, rolling towards us.

In front of the Qin army's camp, horses were strictly guarded, and the barbed wire shone coldly.

The wooden fence was increased to three rows, and the armed carts were arranged neatly behind it.The baffle of the military vehicle was raised, and the catapult was pulled away.

The infantry lined up neatly, with long knives and shields in hand, spears and spears like a forest, holding their breath, waiting for the drums to beat.

Under the big banner, Qin Jing's black armored black horse stood beside the horse with a silver spear with a sharp point and a cold light.

Qin Jue led his troops out of the city, and together with Qin Jing defended against the incoming enemy.Qin Yu guarded the city and closed the gates on all sides to prevent the enemy from attacking from east to west.

On both sides of the camp, the [-] cavalry were divided into two groups, led by Xia Houyan and Ranhu respectively, and entered the ambush site in advance, waiting for the fighter plane, and raided the enemy's flank.

The new wind howled, the sound of horseshoes approached, and the air of murder pervaded the air.

噍——

The eagle's cry resounded through the sky.

Qin Jing raised his head and looked at the mid-air, and saw the goshawks and golden eagles flying back one after another, hovering above the army, with a wooden sign tied to each of their paws, and knew that the army of Qin Ju and Qin Jiu had already taken their positions, and they were just waiting for things to outflank them. Wusun Dajun took a hard bite.

woo-

The desolate horn sounded from afar.

Amidst the sound of the horn, Hu Qi, who was wearing a leather robe and holding a long knife, was already clearly visible.

"Drum!"

On the top of the city, Qin Yu personally held the drum hammer and beat the drums one after another to cheer for the army below the city.

Qin Jing grabbed the spear, pointed the tip of the spear obliquely, and the drum beat suddenly.

The jumping soldiers came out more and more, holding a long knife, seven feet long, three feet long blade, extremely sharp.The handle of the knife is made of hardwood. When the cavalry is charging, they cooperate with each other and can easily cut off the horse's leg.

After jumping and swinging the soldiers, the archers lined up, the bowstrings were fully drawn, and the cold light was in pieces.

The sound of drums and horns was endless and deafening.

Xiahouyan and Ranhu roared at the same time when the flying cavalry sent the order, and the cavalry galloped to both sides, expecting the arrival of the enemy.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes was getting closer, and the leaders of the various ministries rode their horses forward and took the lead in charging.

Encountering repelling horses and caltrops blocking the way, some pulled the reins violently, and some had no time to dodge, and bumped into them with a bang, blood gushed out instantly, and minced meat splattered.

The horses that had no time to dodge, together with the cavalry on their backs, were penetrated by the repelling horses and turned into blood gourds.

The charging team was too dense, the front speed slowed down, and the rear was unknown, so it was too late to hold the horses, and they rushed together in an instant.

People in front of the formation roared and neighed, causing a burst of confusion.

"dismount!"

"Get off your horse and move these away!"

Seeing a refusal horse blocking the road, Wusun Kunmi and the leader of Gaoche immediately ordered the cavalry to dismount, remove the repelled horse, clear away the barbed wire, and open a path for the army.

Just as the cavalrymen got off their horses, before they had time to push away the rejecting horses, there was a whistling sound from the sky.

Looking up, black spots flew in a parabola from far to near. The dismounted cavalry had no time to dodge, and was crushed by the falling boulders and broken logs. Without a scream, they were crushed into meatloaf on the spot.

"Let the sheep slave go!"

There are many sheep slaves accompanying the army.

This is the rule in the tribe. As long as you fight bravely, kill the enemy soldiers, and accumulate a certain amount, you can get rid of the slave status.

In the eyes of the tribal leaders, these slaves are not human beings, but cannon fodder that can be consumed at any time.Knowing that Qin Jun had a catapult, he naturally refused to let the elite take any more risks, and they all chose to let the sheep slave open the way.

Knowing that there are many dangers ahead, and it is likely to be a dead end, the sheep slave still has no choice but to grit his teeth, get off his horse, and rush forward bravely.

Amidst the whistling sound, the sheep slave desperately moved away the rejecting horse, cleared away the barbed wire, and opened a path with blood and life.

"attack!"

As soon as the obstacle was cleared, the tribal leader ordered a charge, not paying attention to the injured sheep slave who fell to the ground.Many sheep slaves were not killed by boulders and rolling logs, but died under the iron hooves of cavalry.

After rejecting horses and caltrops, there are three rows of fences like guns.

For this kind of defense, Hu Qi already had experience, and ordered the sheep slave to step forward again, risking his life to open a road for the army to pass.

The first row of fences was removed, and what flew in the air was no longer gravel and broken wood, but a rain of arrows overwhelming the sky.It was not only the sheep slaves who were killed or injured, but also the cavalry within range.

After the second row of fences, the arrows were even denser.There were continuous wailing sounds, and there were not many dead, but hundreds of injured.

"continue!"

Wusun Kunmi and the leaders of the six ministries more or less found that something was wrong, and the Qin army was too well prepared, as if they were waiting for themselves to launch an attack.However, so far, there is no way out.Only bite the bullet and continue to attack until the Qin army's defense is broken through.

Finally, the third row of fences was removed, and Wusun and the cavalry with high chariots were all red-eyed, roaring and rushing towards the Qin army.

Since the start of the war, the two sides have finally fought hand to hand.

The cavalry's blade was right in front of them, and the jumping soldiers were not afraid. They lined up, cooperated with each other, lowered their figures, and slashed at the horse's leg.

The horses groaned and fell down, and the cavalry rolled down.

Things happened too fast, and the cavalry behind them didn't react, and they were taken down together in the blink of an eye.

The infantry, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed forward and cut off the head of the enemy soldier with a knife.

As soon as the head was exposed and the pawn was about to turn around, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.It turned out that an enemy soldier had rushed forward and cut off his left arm with a knife.

There is no kindness in fierce battles on the battlefield.

With a kind heart and a soft hand, if you don't let go, you will not only kill yourself, but also the lives of your comrades.

The jumping soldiers are brave and fearless of death. If someone dies in battle, fellow soldiers immediately fill in the gaps and line up to stop the enemy.

The sounds of killing were intertwined, and the corpses of both sides overlapped in one place, blood flowing into rivers, staining the ground red.

Some soldiers have not died yet, unable to hold a long knife, simply use their teeth as weapons, and bite the enemy's throat fiercely, and will not let go until they die.

Qin Bing was brave and brave, and he did not hesitate to exchange his life for his life.

However, the disadvantage of disparity in troop strength is still slowly beginning to emerge.

No. 1 high-chariot cavalry broke through the battle formation, and soon the second and third... More and more enemy troops broke through the defense line of the jumping soldiers, brandishing long knives, howling and rushing towards the big banner.

The situation became critical, but Qin Jing never gave an order.

Until nearly one-third of the cavalry rushed out of the battle formation, Qin Jing raised his left arm, and the sound of the drum suddenly changed.The military chariots attacked from both sides, cut off the charging enemy army at the waist, quickly closed and surrounded them, and blocked the possibility of front and rear response.

Looking down from above, on the battlefield at this moment, Gao Che and Wusun's army were divided into three sections.

One section was stopped behind the battle formation, one section was in the middle of the battle formation, and the last section was behind the military chariot and in front of the big banner.

"Beat the drums, and the cavalry will attack."

Qin Jing picked up his spear and rode his horse towards the enemy.Qin Jue followed closely behind.

Xiahouyan and Ranhu Deling, who were ambushing the two wings, launched attacks from the flanks respectively, and rushed towards Gao Che and Wusun's army who had fallen into the trap.

A strange scene appeared on the battlefield. Gaoche and Wusun's army, which had a superior force, were divided and surrounded by the Qin army, which had less than half of their own strength, and gradually showed signs of decline.

Less than five miles away from the battlefield, two other armies received the signal, led by Qin Jiu and Qin Yu, and were rushing towards them.

On the way, Qin Jun sent out a group of cavalry, led by a guide, to set fire to the enemy camp.

"Burn the luggage, block the retreat, and see where you go!"

It turned out that Qin Jing's goal was not to unite all the troops, but to point directly at Wusun from the very beginning.Compared with the loose Gaoche tribe, Wusun, who occupies the western grasslands and strangles the east-west roads, is a serious problem.

Surrounded on three sides, only let go of the north, not because of insufficient troops, but to lay a fuse for Mobei.

After this battle, it is impossible for Wusun to return to the nomadic land before, and he must be driven to Mobei.

Compared with the grassland in Monan, the conditions in Mobei are harsh, and there are many disasters, so it is difficult to support the high-speed vehicles.Adding Wusun will make things worse, and sooner or later there will be trouble.

In order to compete for survival resources, the two sides will inevitably have constant friction and even go to war on a large scale.

If you want to avoid the war, you can't go to the east, you have to go west.But the west is not easy to go, there are Murong Xianbei, Dibu and Rouran who moved westward before.

The flames of war ignited outside Shuofang City and would not go out for several days.

Qin Ju and Qin Jiu arrived one after another, and cooperated with Qin Jing and Qin Jue, charging side by side in Gaoche and Wusun's army.

Four war horses, four silver spears, and four killing gods.

The land of Monan will eventually be stained red with blood, and become the place where tens of thousands of Hu Qi are buried.

On a mound far away from the city, Jacco stood in front of the chariot, holding up the binoculars, overlooking the battlefield below the city.

Qianlijing was manufactured by Youzhou Workshop, and the quantity is not large. Most of the finished products are used in sea-going ships, and are hidden in the hands of Huan Yi and others.The boatmen have to be strictly ordered not to spread the news outside.

The one in his hand was sent by Huan Rong before heading north.

Jacco was quite surprised by the first experience.After reading Huan Rong's letter and thinking about the purpose of this thing, my heart can't help beating like a drum, and my head is buzzing.

"The tactics of the Qin army are slightly different from before. The usage of the military chariot is similar to that of our dynasty." Jia Ke put down the binoculars, wrote a short message, and tied it to the pigeon.

Such changes need to be reported to the officials, and precautions should be made as soon as possible.

The pigeon cooed twice and flew south with the letter.

Jia Ke stayed in place for a while, knowing that the victory of this battle was decided, only in the length of time.

"Let's go to Xihai County."

Someone else has taken over the delivery of food, and his task has been completed, so it is not appropriate to stay in Shuofang for a long time.To save Emperor Qin after the battle, he would think of his nail that had been stuck in Chang'an for several years.

Even if Emperor Qin couldn't remember it, the people around him would not easily expose it.Due to the fact that the "covenant" is not easy to act on the bright side, there will never be fewer secret methods.

For Jaco, there is no need to worry too much about his life, but his actions will be affected.

Instead of staying in Shuofang City, it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of Qin Jun's expedition with troops, he should go to the West Sea, contact the local caravan, and prepare for taking over the business of the Western Regions in the future.

When leaving Chang'an, Jia Ke thought he was going back to Jiankang.Unexpectedly, after going round and round, he was getting farther and farther away from Jiankang.If you were someone else, you might feel disappointed. After all, you have been away from home for too long, and you will always miss it when you are away all year round.

Not so with Jaco.

His temperament is very similar to Jia Bing's. Although he doesn't think about setting fires every day, he will occasionally put one on to make some noise.

Compared with becoming an official and Jiankang, he is more willing to travel around, collect information and contribute to the emperor.

The flames of war in Shuofang ignited, and Jia Ke went away to the West Sea.

In Jiankang City, cars with Huan's logo engraved arrived one after another.

According to the holy will, the carriage did not go to Qingxili, but went straight to Taicheng.

The three carriages collided and stopped in front of the palace gate.

The accompanying Buqu jumped off the shaft of the car, and the door was pushed open from the inside, revealing two handsome young faces, and a boy about seven or eight years old.It was Huan Yin, Huan Zhen and Huan Zhiyu who entered Beijing under the order of Huan Rong to celebrate the New Year on behalf of their father.
