General Qin

The sun is rising, the wind is howling on the grassland, and the land in the north is burning.

Against the background of the dazzling fire and smoke in the distance, the two cavalry stood facing each other on the grassland, and there was a chilling and tense atmosphere between them.

The two sides are opposed, but the nomads seem a little timid.

These Huns who came tens of miles away swallowed their saliva involuntarily, and the horses sitting down were breathing white gas while pacing anxiously.

Opposite them was a phalanx of cavalry standing still like a mountain.

"Qin Jun!"

Touman Shanyu took a deep breath of the scorching air.

He guessed right!

This grassland fire was set by the Qin army as expected!

Zhao Tuo took advantage of the time when the Huns attacked the Qin camp at night, secretly sent the cavalry of the Qin army to attack the depths of the grassland, and set fire to the prairie fire. Everything was as he guessed.

The only difference is that Touman Shanyu miscalculated the number of Qin troops.

I thought that the cavalry who set fire to it were no more than a hundred, a thousand, or at most ten thousand.

But the cavalry of the Qin Army in front of them is huge in number, and they are arranged in a neat formation. Looking from a distance, there is a huge sense of oppression.

Touman Chanyu was a little confused.

He looked at the cavalry phalanx on the opposite side. Although the cavalry in the rear was blocked by the people in front, he could only see crowds of people and could not see the exact number and appearance, but based on his past experience, the opponent had at least 25,000, or even It is more than 30,000 rides!

Touman Shanyu couldn't figure it out, where did the Qin people get so many cavalry?

"Da Chanyu, what should we do now?"

The general on the right, Yi Hanxie, drove his horse to Touman's side, and since he was defeated by the Qin army by the river, he has been following Shanyu's actions.

"what to do?"

Touman Chanyu also asked himself a question, and when he looked back, he saw a mess behind him.

Although the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi had 80,000 cavalry, it was impossible for them to maintain their formation as they rushed all the way in the dark.

The entire team stretched into a long line, with the elite of Wang Ting and King Youguli running at the front, King Zuoguli and other small nobles' tribes in the middle, and at the end were 20,000 Yueshi cavalry. The rear stretches for ten or twenty miles.

And because of the long-distance raid, both men and horses were exhausted and panting. The combat effectiveness in this state can be imagined.

After the Qin army set fire to it, they lined up in the middle with a huge cavalry phalanx, looking like they were waiting for their arrival. It was even more obvious what their intentions were.

There are two choices before Touman Shanyu.

Fighting, with the Huns' cavalry currently exhausted and not assembled, they do not have an advantage in military strength, and the probability of victory is not high.

Escape, once Touman Shanyu leads people to flee, the Qin army will definitely cover up and follow. With the current state of the Huns, as long as they start to escape, they will have no chance to fight and resist. They will only be chased by Qin all the way like sheep being chased by wolves people kill.

"No, I still have a choice."

Touman Chanyu gritted his teeth, and pointed at the gorgeous handsome flag fluttering on a small mound behind the cavalry of the Qin Army, and several figures of riders under that handsome flag.

"Even if the commander of this cavalry is not Zhao Tuo, he must be a general under his command. Send someone to tell them that as long as the Qin army promises not to kill anyone, we are willing to dismount and surrender!"

Yi Hanxie, Xu Budang and the others who just rode over were shocked.

What's the situation? The Qin army just set fire to your hometown in Touman, and you saw that the cavalry of the Qin army didn't want to take revenge and surrendered on the spot?

Touman Chanyu growled, "This is delaying time. Whether they believe it or not, at least the envoys can buy some time for our warriors and horses to rest while waiting for the arrival of the troops behind."

"The Qin army only has 30,000 riders at most. When I arrive with 80,000 riders, even if the grassland warriors are exhausted, if I beat him with 80,000 riders and 30,000 riders on this grassland, will I still lose?"

Hearing this, Xu Bu's eyes lit up.

What a big Chanyu, he is really cunning and treacherous!

However, the reality is that the Huns have not yet waited for the envoys to surrender again.

The Qin army's cavalry formed a large formation, and did not give them a chance at all.

In the bursts of shouting, the cavalry of the Qin Army in the middle parted to the two sides, revealing a passage.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, and a group of heavily armored cavalry, both men and horses, stepped out of the formation slowly.

The direction of its advance is exactly where Shanyu Yingqi is.

At the same time, the cavalry formation of the Qin Army began to disperse, and the drums for the attack had already sounded.

At the rear of the cavalry phalanx, the Qin army specially selected a small mound that could overlook the distance.

The general's flag fluttered in the strong wind.

Zhao Tuo held up the binoculars and watched the expression of the man wearing the eagle crown in the distance.

"Hehe, Touman must be very surprised now. I didn't expect my Daqin cavalry to be here waiting for him to throw himself into the trap. This guy is really a stupid wolf. Now our army is waiting for work, just in time to defeat the enemy!" Chen Ping Rubbing his hands excitedly, he kept muttering.

This was the largest cavalry battle he had participated in, even surpassing the previous Qinyue battle, so he was naturally very excited.

Zhao Tuo put down the binoculars and looked at the battle situation in the distance with his naked eyes.

The cavalry of the Qin Army began to change formation amidst the sound of drums, using five hundred heavy cavalry as arrows, followed by 10,000 light cavalry of the Qin Army, attacking from the front.

The 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry hidden behind the phalanx received the order and rushed out from the rear, divided into two wings, with 10,000 cavalry in one direction, and began to outflank the Huns from the left and right sides.

Zhao Tuo looked at the magnificent eagle flag in the formation of the Huns, and said with a light smile, "Touman is too anxious, he is worried about Touman City and his tribe's livestock, so he rushes to the front, this is a way for me to catch the thief first." The king's chance. As long as he breaks his royal army first and captures him, the rest of the Huns are nothing but scattered sand."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the burning red sky in the north.

This fire was exactly his trap to lure the wolf king back.

It is the secret of the art of war that all who attack the enemy must be saved.

At the same time, Touman Shanyu, Yi Hanxie, Xu Budang and others were stunned by the sudden attack of the Qin army.

Not only because there was a problem with their plan, but also because they could clearly see the cavalry rushing out from behind the cavalry of the Qin Army, running to the left and right, trying to outflank them.

It was a group of prairie herdsmen wearing furs and felt hats.

Yi Hanxie was dumbfounded: "People from Yuezhi!"

Xu Budang shouted: "The Qin Army has recruited Yuezhi!"

The doubts were answered, and they finally knew why the Qin people had such a large number of cavalry.

But at the same time, new worries also crept into Tou Manchanyu's mind.

There are a large number of Yuezhi people serving in the Qin army, and Su Jiasha, who has defected to the Huns, and her 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry will be put into question.

Touman Shanyu's face was as black as coal, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

There is a problem with his Da Yan family!

However, this idea only existed in his mind for a moment before he threw it out.

In the face of the attack launched by the Qin army, we must survive first!

"Xu Budang, if you want to survive, then lead me forward. The cavalry of the Qin army is no match for my prairie warriors. Destroy the cavalry of the Qin army from the front, and capture or kill the people under the Qin flag." If we die, we can live!"

Touman Shanyu yelled sharply and pointed to the rear of the cavalry of the Qin Army.

Xu Budang, the king of Youguli, had a gloomy and cold face.

He and Touman Chanyu's men were running at the forefront of the team. Facing the attack launched by the Qin army at this moment, they were naturally the first to bear the brunt. There was nowhere to escape. Now if they want to survive, they really have to rush forward. .

In Xu Budang's view, although the cavalry of the Qin people looked amazingly powerful and waited for work at ease, they still had a fatal weakness.

Equestrianism!

In front of the Huns who rode sheep and shot rats since they were young, and grew up riding horses and chasing foxes, the cavalry of the Qin army were essentially mounted infantry.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and shouted: "Warriors of the Xubu Department, charge with me! Destroy the Qin army, capture and kill the enemy general!"

"Kill!"

Seeing that they were surrounded by the Qin army, the Huns became bloody one by one. They followed Xu Budang and began to charge on horseback to meet the Qin army cavalry.

These people on horseback want to defeat the Qin army in a grassland horse battle with dignity, and teach the Qin people what real cavalry is!

...

About ten li to the south from the place where the Qin army and the Xiongnu vanguard fought, 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry were advancing.

They were hanging behind Zuoguli King Wuluxu's team, and they were running slowly, their speed was not fast, so their horsepower was slightly reserved.

They are waiting for a signal.

After a while, several fast horses galloped from the front.

This is the sentinel sent by the noble lady Su Jiasha to investigate, and they brought the most important news.

"My lady, let's fight!"
