General Qin

Chapter 554 Cavalry Showdown

"The Shuangmi Department was defeated?"

"Qin Jun came to kill?"

The sound of scouts shouting caused a commotion.

Guishuang Xihou was stunned, showing an unbelievable expression.

The 20,000 cavalry under Shuang Mi Xihou came and went like the wind on the grassland. What they were performing was not a duel mission. They only needed to lure away the main force of the Qin army, harass them continuously, and drag the Qin people back. How could they fail? Still a big loss.

"Could it be that Shuang Mi Xihou has horse urine in his head and can't think of fighting the main force of the Qin army?"

Guishuang Xihou just thought about it for a while, and stopped thinking about it.

The large approaching black shadow on the grassland in the distance has already explained everything.

It doesn't matter how the 20,000 people of Shuangmi Xihou were defeated. The important thing is that they have already been defeated. The cavalry of the Qin army is rushing to help the rear army and is approaching them. This battle has entered a new stage.

"Father, the Qin army's chariot formation here was difficult to capture for a while, and their cavalry rushed back to help. The main infantry of the Qin army must also be on the way. Let's evacuate first and wait until later to figure out a solution."

Su Jiasha spoke anxiously, she was keenly aware of the crisis, and advised Guishuang Xihou for the third time in this battle, hoping to retreat and preserve the strength of the tribe.

"Shut up!"

What responded to her was Guishuang Xihou's roar.

He is now close to madness.

In Guishuang Xihou's original vision, the Qin army's grain troops were all unarmed farmers. Even if there were some armored soldiers and cavalry guards, the number must be small, and it was impossible to stop the 70,000 Yuezhi cavalry. assault.

They only need to defeat the Qin army's food team, after a big kill, burn the Qin army's food and grass, and run away after a wave of looting.

Then you can sit and wait for the Qin army, which has lost its food and supplies, to fall into chaos on the grassland due to lack of food, and eventually collapse without fighting.

At this time, Guishuang Xihou can bring the Yuezhi army out, hunt down the defeated Qin army, seize the Qin army's weapons and equipment, capture a large number of Qin people as slaves, and easily win the war.

The plan was perfect and the beginning went smoothly, but the process was completely different from what he had imagined.

First, the food team of the Qin Army reacted quickly, forming a chariot formation before the Yuezhi cavalry arrived.

Relying on the cover of solid chariot walls, they used strong bows and crossbows, spears and long beryllium, and coordinated from far and near, the Yuezhi army failed to win after thousands of casualties, but fell into a situation of riding a tiger.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry of the Qin Army who were lured away by the Shuangmi Department came back to help, which further worsened the situation of the Yuezhi people.

"Our warriors attacking the Qin army's chariot formation is at a critical juncture. Ordering to retreat at this time will definitely cause chaos, and then the cavalry of the Qin people will rush over and kill them. This battle will be completely defeated."

"So the current situation cannot be withdrawn!"

Guishuang Xihou, as the head of a department, is considered to have been battle-hardened and has basic judgment.

Under the current circumstances, once he ordered to retreat, with the temper of the Yuezhi people, he would definitely end up defeated like a mountain.

The Qin army returning to aid was all cavalry, and they were very fast. Seeing that the Yue clan was retreating, they would definitely catch up and kill them.

In that case, the future of Guishuang Department will be over.

"The Qin army is said to be cavalry, but except for a very small number of soldiers, they are actually infantry on horseback. The weapons and armor on their bodies are better. When fighting head-on on the grassland, the equestrian competition is no match for our Yuezhi warriors."

"The more than 10,000 cavalry of the Qin Army abandoned their main infantry and came here. In fact, they are in danger. I don't need to be afraid of them at all. I can swallow them in one gulp and retreat calmly. Even by defeating them With the momentum, I frightened the Qin army's grain team in the car formation, took the opportunity to break through the car formation, and in this way, I still won!"

Guishuang Xihou's eyes were raised, and at this moment, he was still thinking about any hope of breaking through the car formation.

"Send my personal guards up, 15,000 cavalry, enough to defeat this cavalry of the Qin army!"

Yuezhi's 70,000 troops and 30,000 people from the Secret Department are besieging other chariot formations in another direction.

In addition to the 10,000 people in the Guishuang Department who were besieging another car formation, the remaining 30,000 riders were transferred here.

Aside from the thousands of casualties, they still had more than 20,000 cavalry, and if they squeezed together, they could still send out their men to fight.

According to visual estimation, the cavalry of the Qin army who rushed back to support should be around 12,000 to 3,000, which is less than the cavalry of the Yue clan who are facing the battle. Competing for horsepower, they are even less opponents.

Therefore, the Yuezhi cavalry had a great chance of winning.

In the sound of Xihou's order, 15,000 Yuezhi cavalry were transferred out from the siege.

Many Yuezhi people breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with attacking the formidable Qin army's chariot formation, fighting with the Qin cavalry on the grassland was undoubtedly much more enjoyable and the winning rate was much higher.

"Come on!"

"Let these Qin people know what a real cavalry is!"

The Yuezhi people shouted, and all fifteen thousand cavalrymen ran wildly, rushing straight towards the cavalry of the Qin army.

A goshawk hovered in the sky, its sharp eyes sizing up the scene on the grassland below.

In the northeast and southwest directions, a cavalry of tens of thousands of people approached each other, like two torrents coming from two directions, about to collide together.

"Hahaha, what a group of Yuezhi people, just let Nai Gong kill him to his heart's content!"

Fan Kuai laughed out loud, saliva flying from his mouth, staring straight at the Yuezhi people coming towards him in the distance.

Compared with the previous battles, he had already taken off his heavy armor at this moment, and the horse he stepped off was also unarmored, but this did not hinder his full fighting spirit.

The former dog slaughterer in Peixian County didn't realize that killing is such a joyful thing until he went to the battlefield.

Especially what Fan Kuai killed were barbarians of different races, and what he did was to fight for the country and win glory for Zhuxia.

This made him even more bloody. When he heard the general ordering the cavalry to return to the food aid team, Fan Kui immediately called for battle, took off his heavy armor, and returned with more than 10,000 cavalry. It was precisely to fight these barbarians again. field.

The cavalry of the two armies approached and were about to start a duel, to compete who is the real king on the grassland.

The Yuezhi people are people on horseback. They ride sheep since they were young, and they ride horses when they grow up.

They are very proud, thinking that the winner of this cavalry duel can only be them!

But when the two armies approached, they were shocked, because the knights of the Qin army at the front let go of the reins with both hands, held weapons in their hands, and rushed towards them.

You must know that most Yuezhi people dare not do this kind of difficult movement.

Let go of your hands, how to borrow strength?

How to ensure that you will not be thrown off by the galloping horse?

Could it be that the Qin army are all masters of horse warfare?

These questions lingered in the minds of the Yuezhi people, and their eyes fell on the strange saddles on which the cavalrymen of the Qin Army rode.

But before they had time to think, the cavalry of the two armies collided and a real cavalry duel began.

"kill!"

Fan Kuai roared angrily, crossed with the Yueshi cavalry, stabbed one of them over with the horse in his hand, and quickly drew it out at the same time.

He lowered his head and leaned sideways to avoid the short spear attack of the Yuezhi cavalry. At the same time, he swept the horse lance in his hand from side to side, knocking off the two Yuezhi men in front of him.

One assassinated one person face to face and knocked down two, while Fan Kuai himself sat firmly on the horse's back with the help of Takahashi saddle and stirrups.

"Kill it fast!"

Amidst Fan Kuai's hearty voice, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qin Army fought with the cavalry of the Yue clan with an indomitable momentum.

Nearly 30,000 cavalrymen collided and fought each other on the grassland, which would last for a long time under normal circumstances. However, the cavalry duel between the Qin army and the Yuezhi people soon became one-sided.

With the blessing of Takahashi's saddle and stirrups, the cavalry of the Qin army can barely compare with the Yuezhi people in horsemanship, and will not be severely suppressed.

In such a situation where horse battles can be fair, the equipment of the Qin army has shown a great advantage.

Every cavalryman of the Qin Army wore thick leather armor. Even if they were slashed with short spears or bronze swords by the Yuezhi people, as long as the vital parts were not hit, they would suffer some skin trauma, which was nothing serious. hinder.

Except for the most elite guards of Xihou, the Yuezhi people were ordinary herdsmen, and few of them could wear armor. When they were hit by the weapons in the hands of the cavalry of the Qin army, they suffered very heavy injuries.

At the same time, the high bridge saddle and stirrup can prevent the cavalry from falling off the horse due to the impact force during the collision.

After a rush, many Yuezhi people were knocked off their horses, but the Qin army's cavalry was very few, all because of the credit for the equipment.

This is crushing on weapons and equipment.

It is a technological dimensionality reduction blow.

It is a financial competition between the rich Qin Jun and the poor Yuezhi.

Under such circumstances, the Yuezhi people couldn't even change one by one, and it didn't take long for them to be beaten to pieces and began to collapse.

"How did this happen? My Yue Clan's warriors were defeated by the Qin people in an instant? Aren't the Qin people farming people?"

Guishuang Xihou watched this scene from a distance, dumbfounded, this result once again exceeded his expectations.

Beside, Su Jiasha didn't remonstrate any more, she pulled her horse, took some personal guards, and immediately ran in the opposite direction.

"Yueshi, defeated."

Not only her, but the 15,000 cavalry sent out to fight were killed by Qin cavalry, and the rest scattered and fled.

The situation on the entire battlefield has been completely clear.

Among the Qin army's chariot formation surrounded by Wu Gang's chariots, the chief general Wang Li looked excited.

"The general's cavalry is indeed mighty, and we have won this battle."

Without hesitation, Wang Li seized the opportunity and immediately ordered: "Move the car base, we will fight out, kill the barbarians, and make meritorious service!"

"Kill the barbarians and make meritorious service!"

In the chariot formation, the soldiers of the Qin army who had been besieged by the Yuezhi people for several hours had long held their breath.

Seeing the big victory of the reinforcements at this moment, everyone was extremely excited, moved the car base, and went to kill the shocked Yuezhi people outside.

From the other direction, Fan Kui, who led a team of cavalry from the chaos, locked his eyes on the middle-aged man in a red robe and a golden crown in the distance.

Yueshi Xihou!

This is his prey for Fan Kuai!

Looking at Fan Kuai's information, I feel that this man is so fierce. He was beheaded first, and the Han army's force was at its peak.
