Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Second: Riding and Riding Collaboration

The Qin people were still black. From a distance, the Qin army's military formation was like a pitch-black ink plate, which was very oppressive.

The sunlight shone on the Qin people's military formation and seemed to be sucked into the black hole.

The infantry phalanx was in the middle, the cavalry guarded the two wings, and the small groups of cavalry tried each other and fought fiercely.

When the Huns hunted wolves on the grassland, they developed tactics such as encirclement and ambushing and interception. Although they could not write military books and teach their children like the Chinese military strategists, the Huns did learn to fight during the hunting process.

King Xiu Tu wanted to attack the Qin army formation from both wings, but the Qin cavalry was different from what he imagined, and boldly launched a charge with the Huns.

The Qin people's crossbow arrows had a range far exceeding the Huns' bows and arrows. The triangular arrows were extremely penetrating. The Huns' cavalry only wore simple leather armor, and many of them did not even have leather armor. After several confrontations, the Huns' riding and shooting skills were not fully utilized.

"Send someone to rush up and hand over the Qin people in close combat." King Xiu Tu pointed his hand and issued an order, "The Qin people mainly use crossbows and fight in close combat, so they are not as good as the warriors of our Great Huns!"

The Huns' martial spirit was no less than that of the Qin people, and they were not afraid of head-on charges.

"Woo woo woo woo--"

The guards and cavalry beside King Xiu Tu blew the horns of the charge.

"Run!"

The Huns rode their horses and rushed towards the Qin army formation like a moving high wall.

"Stay!"

The cavalry on both wings were fighting fiercely, and Meng Tian's infantry had not yet handed over the close handing over with the Huns.

Looking up, the Huns' charge was overwhelming and shocking.

In the era of cold weapons, infantry faced a large-scale cavalry charge, and their momentum fell below. Generals who simply used infantry to defeat cavalry can almost be regarded as famous generals. Li Mu of Zhao State and Qin Kai of Yan State were mainly infantry and chariots, and they fought against the Huns, and the Donghu could not find the north.

Before the battle, Meng Tian used Li Mu and Qin Kai's success to motivate his generals. But when he really came to the battlefield, Su Jiao and Shema were still a little restless.

The cavalry charge brought the sense of oppression to the infantry was too strong.

Meng Tian's hand pressed on Shimama's shoulder. Just now, Shimama almost issued an order to release the crossbow arrow.

In any era, there are superior and inferior arms, but only by balance between the services can we exert the greatest combat power. The Huns only have cavalry and no infantry, and belong to a one-legged military branch. Meng Tian has the confidence to win the battle.

Meng Tian's subordinates specially trained the tactics of joint combat between infantry and cavalry. In the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang combined infantry and cavalry and went deep into the grassland and destroyed the Western Turks in one battle. Meng Tian could not do that step yet, but it should be no problem to defeat the Hun King on the opposite side.

The eyes of the Qin soldiers fell on the main general Meng Tian, ​​and there was no sign of panic. Some people were ashamed and admired. They were worthy of being the Meng family from the Qin Dynasty. At a young age, facing the overwhelming Hun cavalry, they were calm and calm, and their faces remained unchanged.

Thinking of this, the Qin soldiers immediately felt much more at ease, and the long halberd in their hands became more firm.

As the Huns entered the range of the crossbow, Meng Tian instructed the messenger to shoot out the signal flag for the crossbowmen to attack.

Lead the crossbow soldiers to release the crossbow arrows to his fullest.

After the three-wheeled crossbow arrows were released, the crossbow soldiers quickly retreated to the rear of the military formation, returned to Feng Wuze's command, and stabilized the back of the military formation.

"Raising the shield!"

The Huns did not sit and waited for death and began to fight back. The Qin army in the front row raised their shields, and the Qin army behind them plucked the long halberd in their hands. The Huns' arrows caused little damage to the Qin army.

Meng Tian looked at it and saw that some arrows were still bone arrows. The Huns in the north had a level of civilization, and it was not a little behind China. As long as the people of the Central Plains could organize a little, it would be the Xiongs' turn to plunder.

Three hundred steps!

The Huns' cavalry entered a distance of three hundred steps from the Qin army's phalanx.

"Bandit, let it go!"

Meng Tian personally issued an order, and the distance of three hundred steps was the best killing distance for the crossbow.

Shijian, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately commanded the infantry to spread the passage, and the hidden crossbow chariots showed a fierce look. Six or seven feet long crossbow arrows were densely packed, shining with a cold and cold light.

"Swish swish swish swish--"

When the crossbow chariot roared, thousands of arrows were really fired. The Huns under King Xiu Tu had never seen such a guy.

The Huns who rushed in the front row endured the most intense rain of arrows. Many Huns saw that some crossbow arrows shot through more than a dozen Hun cavalry, lined up and fell to the ground, reminding them of the barbecued lamb skewers at the festival.

Among the crossbow arrows, the crossbows that bombarded the city walls were robbed, and they hit the horses and suddenly turned into a pool of meat paste.

In the sunshine, the black crossbow chariot shocked the Huns. The fallen corpses and the wailing sounds of war horses everywhere delayed the speed of the Huns' charge.

A cavalry that loses its speed will become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Meng Tian jumped off the platform, stepped onto the war horse, and shouted at Su Jiao: "Command the halberd soldiers, rush up!"

After Su Jiao was ordered, his eyes were flashing with a hot light. The Huns in front of the formation had a head on their shoulders, exuding a scent of temptation.

"Soldiers, rush! The heads of the Huns, I'm going to settle!"

"Kill!"

The Qin army's long halberd pointed straight forward, like a dense forest, piercing into the Xiongnu formation.

The disciplined Qin army cooperated closely and advanced together, like a neat chessboard, rolling forward. In the face of such an army, even if Hannibal reborn, he would be helpless.

"puff--"

The Qin army's long halberds were stabbed one by one. Even if the Huns avoided it, the crescent moon of the long halberd would always pull the Huns off their horses.

The short swords and a little scimitar in the hands of the Huns could not play any role. They could only watch the Qin army used their halberds to deal with the Huns on the horse. Those who fell off the horse and those who were waiting for them were also the Qin army's sword and shield soldiers.

Seeing that victory was in sight, the Shangjun cavalry led by Ganluo also joined the battlefield.

The morale of the Qin army rose sharply, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.

Two hours later, the casualties of the Huns exceeded their limits.

"Don't kill the king, let's retreat!"

King Xiu Tu's deputy general looked anxious. This battle could not be fought.

Damn Shanyu, damn Right Xianwang!

King Xiu Tu looked back at the direction of the Great Wall behind him, without any movement. Shanyu and the Right Xian King did not send him reinforcements.

At this time, Shanyu and the Right Xian King were thinking about how to compete for the Hetao Plain, and they didn't care about his life or death.

In the distance, in the Qin army's military formation, the chief general of the Qin army led the two thousand most elite cavalry, staring at them, as if he was also guarding against the reinforcements of the Huns.

Forget it, there are such powerful Qin generals guarding Shangjun. Even if they continue to stay in Hetao, there will be no good results.

King Xiu Tu beat his horse and turned to the direction of the grassland, and ran away.

After the Huns were defeated, they retreated in scattered and left the enemy unchallenged. This retreat tactic was used to perfection.

As soon as King Xiu Tu retreated, the Huns had no intention of fighting anymore. After a whistle, the Qin army was stunned again. The retreat of the Huns was not called retreat, but it could be called a wolf running and a pig rushing in the desert.
