General Qin

Chapter 548 Wu Gang Car Formation

When the former army discovered the Yuezhi cavalry and pursued them.

The Qin army's grain transportation team in the rear also received an order from the general.

The rear army of the Qin people began to slowly change from a huge long snake. According to the distance between each other, they gathered together to form several huge circles. From a distance, they looked like ouroboros.

"Brother, did you say that the Yuezhi people are coming to beat us?"

In a circular formation, Xi Juan was unloading goods from the car bases that formed a circle, and at the same time asked the king's tomb next to him.

Wang Ling was untying the reins of the poor horse at this moment, preparing to lead it to the inner circle.

Hearing his younger brother's question, he glanced around and said, "They will come. The cavalry and armored soldiers of the Qin army in front of them will be difficult to fight at first glance, and the Yuezhi people are not fools, so they want to go head-to-head with the main force of the Qin army. , anyone with a slightly normal mind would know to fight the rear army. Think about it, when we fight with people in Pei County, don’t we first overthrow the weak ones, and then come to besiege the strong ones on the opposite side.”

When Xi Juan heard it, it was the truth.

He suddenly cried and said: "Since we are the weakest one, if we are favored by those Yuezhi people, will we become the souls of barbarians? My mother is still waiting for me to go back."

Wang Ling shook his head, looking thoughtfully at the vehicles forming a circle around him.

He is a hero of Pei County. Although he is not a big man outside of Pei County, he has read some books and has a lot of knowledge. Compared with other people, he can see some unusual things.

For example, these new cars, which Qin Jun called "Wu Gang cars", were completely different from the cars he had seen before.

This Wugang chariot is two feet long and four feet wide. There are spears tied on the outside of the chariot and a large shield on the inside.

It is usually used to transport grain, fodder and baggage, and its function is similar to that of ordinary carts, but now that the transportation is abandoned, after the cattle and horses are untied, and gathered in a circle, it has completely become a camp built by carts and carts.

When Wang Ling thought of the countless arrows transported in the convoy, as well as the thousands of armored officers hidden in each convoy, he immediately shivered.

"The Yuezhi people really want to open their mouths to bite, I'm afraid they will break their teeth."

All the grain transportation teams are gathering this strange car base, taking away the horses, unloading the goods, and busy.

Not long after, a sentinel who was in charge of patrolling and investigating from the outside came galloping over, shouting: "The barbarian is here!"

"The barbarians are coming!"

The Yuezhi people really came.

On the horizon in the distance, a group of black shadows appeared, approaching in the direction of Qin Jun.

It was getting closer and closer, like a rushing wave, approaching crazily with a ferocious momentum.

When he got close, the Qin people with good eyes could see that the wave was composed of figures on horseback.

These people are dressed in beards and braids on their heads. They hold wooden short spears or copper swords in their hands, and bows and arrows are slung on their horses.

"Humble Qin people, your great Xihou has come."

Guishuang Xihou galloped his horse with great arrogance. He already regarded the Qin people in the distance as future tribal slaves.

According to the description in Wu Zhiluo's letter before, and the observation of the scouts sent by the Guishuang Ministry.

Most of the rear troops of the Qin people were unarmed and civilian men in common clothes. They were only responsible for transporting food and grass, camping and cooking along the way, and had no combat effectiveness. Not many.

The combat effectiveness of the Qin army is mainly concentrated in the front and middle troops. They keep a safe distance from the rear army, and can quickly return to help when the rear army is attacked.

But now, the smart Marquis Guishuang lured away the main force of the Qin army in front with only 20,000 people, making the main force of the Qin army out of touch with the grain transport team in the rear, revealing a big opportunity.

"The general of Qin is a fool, he was easily played by me, hehe."

"Based on this situation, Touman of the Huns is a big idiot. To be successfully attacked by the Qin people is really a disgrace to us grassland people."

Guishuang Xihou sneered, seeing the warriors of his tribe roaring up on their horses, circled around, and surrounded the Qin army's convoy in the middle.

In addition to him, Hou Mixi's troops also rushed from another direction and besieged several other Qin army chariot formations.

The grassland is full of people called Masi, and it is very lively.

"It's ridiculous, what's the use of gathering the cars together, when the warriors from my grassland rush in, it's just a random killing."

Guishuang Xihou was very confident, because the Qin army hid behind the barriers formed by those vehicles and did not dare to come out to fight, which showed their cowardice.

"Father, these chariots of the Qin army look a bit difficult to deal with."

When approaching the car formation, Su Jiasha, who was following Guishuang Xihou, frowned and spoke.

Guishuang Xihou was startled, and was reminded by his daughter that he carefully looked at the chariots of the Qin army. When he saw the details on the vehicles, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Like the Xiongnu, the Yuezhi people also had a large number of nomadic vehicles for pulling felt tents and supplies, but most of those vehicles were the simplest flatbed vehicles.

As for chariots, they also have them, but they rarely use them. On the grasslands, chariots are far less useful than cavalry in combat.

The Qin people's vehicles in front of them were different. They were surrounded by a circle, with high shields on the vehicles and a row of spears horizontally underneath.

"Are all the chariots of the Qin people like this?"

Guishuang Xihou looked at Su Jiasha.

This daughter was born to him and a woman from Dawan in the west, and she has an unusual language talent since she was a child.

Su Jiasha not only learned the language of the Dawan people with her mother, but also liked to communicate with businessmen since she was a child, and learned the foreign languages ​​​​such as the Xiongnu language and Qin language in the east.

She has a good understanding of these places through merchants, and she is considered a Qin Guotong in the Guishuang Ministry, so the Guishuang Xihou took her with her during this campaign and used her as an interpreter with the Qin people.

After all, when he captured the general of the Qin people, someone must pass the message to him, otherwise when he humiliated the other party, he would not understand him, and it would be so embarrassing.

Su Jiasha frowned at the moment, shook her head and said: "The Qin chariots I have heard and seen are not like this. The chariots in front of me are very strange."

While the father and daughter were talking, more than a dozen bold Yueshi warriors rode their horses close to the Qin people's chariot wall to make a test.

The screams of the Qin people came from the wall of the car, which excited these Yuezhi warriors, and they approached the wall of the car with shouts.

Spears protruded from the cracks in the wall of the chariot, preventing them from approaching. The clumsy spears were dodged by the flexible Yuezhi warriors, who rode their horses around the wall of the chariot, swearing loudly.

The cowardly Qin people hid behind the wall of the car, trembling, and could only rely on the protection of their spears and car shields to get by. This made the Yuezhi people who advocated offense and violence on the grassland look down on them even more.

This time, under the leadership of several thousand commanders, thousands of Yueshi cavalry approached the Qin army's chariot formation. After they severely humiliated the Qin people, they smashed through the Qin people's chariot wall and rushed in to kill. .

How could Qin peasants who only knew how to bury their heads in farming be their opponents of the Yuezhi warriors.

They want to bleed like rivers!

They want heads rolling!

They want to burn all the food of the Qin people!

Just when these thousands of cavalry entered within a hundred steps.

All I heard was a loud roar from the Qin people in the car formation.

"Cum on me!"

Under the roar, behind the erected car walls, all stood up one by one holding crossbows, and the Qin army's crossbowmen were fully loaded.

They were furious at the Yuezhi cavalry, and the bronze crossbow in their hands was extraordinarily dazzling in the sun.

The string sounded.

Thousands of arrows are fired.

Refer to Wei Qing's tactics.

"Historical Records Biography of General Wei's Hussars": The general's army went out for more than a thousand miles, and he saw Shan Yu's soldiers waiting for him, so the general ordered Wu Gang's chariot to form a camp around him, and sent 5,000 riders to serve as Huns.
