"Let me go!" With Li Yan's order, tens of thousands of Qin troops released crossbow arrows in the direction of Yuezhi.

The dense crossbow arrows flew towards the Yuezhi cavalry in the sound of breaking through the air.

The Yuezhi cavalry raised their leather shields to cover them, but to no avail... In the darkness, they didn't know where the crossbow arrows were shot from, so they could only cover their vital parts.

The crossbow arrows hit their abdomen, legs, and shoulders like omnipresent locusts...

For a moment, the Yuezhi cavalry screamed, and the wounded war horse was in pain and threw the knight to the ground and ran away desperately.

Qiu shouted and ordered the soldiers to stabilize the formation... At this time, he realized that the Qin army was not a small group of troops attacking but a large-scale counterattack, but he had to stabilize for a while.

This is not that he is reluctant to leave the cattle and sheep.

In fact, Qiu knew at this time that the cattle and sheep brought by the army could not be saved.

If the Qin army had a full-scale counterattack, it would not have stopped easily. If the Yuezhi army still drove cattle and sheep to retreat at this time, wouldn’t it be a death sentence?

At this time, Qiu wanted to stabilize the formation because he had to retreat in batches and could not do anything randomly.

Retreat is no better than attack, especially when the road in the rear is not spacious enough, an ancient brain retreat will only turn into a retreat in the end.

But Qiu quickly realized that his wish soon turned into a luxury.

I saw some fire points lit up in the direction of the Qin army, and then after a burst of mechanical sounds, dozens of fireballs soared into the sky and headed straight for the Yuezhi camp...

These fireballs were Mai fireballs launched by the Qin army with a trencher.

In fact, they can no longer be considered Maiyi fireballs, because they have been improved by Shen Bing... As mentioned before, there are three formulas of gunpowder: one is mainly blasting, one is to release poisonous smoke, and the other is to set fire.

At this time, the melon fireball was not only covered with rosin, but also covered with flammable gunpowder with dry paint and tung oil.

The reason why the Qin army wrapped the gunpowder in the inner layer was that it needed some time delay... If there was no time delay, it would burn it when it was ignited on the catapult, which would hurt itself.

It takes about twenty breaths to wrap around the inner layer... In fact, it is just over one minute. In ancient times, there was no concept of "minutes". In short, it can only be called "one breath" by "one breath".

These twenty breaths are enough for the Qin army to complete the ignition and launch it out.

At first, these "mai-clothed fireballs" burned normally in the Yuezhi Cavalry, and the Yuezhi Cavalry did not take them seriously.

After all, it was a fireball burning on the ground, which had no effect on the riders riding on horseback.

But soon they exploded like fireworks and shot Mars everywhere, burning or igniting the surrounding riders, and the hay nearby and the tents that had not been put away were also ignited.

Shen Bing waved his hand and understood, and with a shout, he led the cavalry out from the flank.

The cavalry of this era is not suitable for combat at night, but it is different if the enemy camps are ignited.

This is actually a kind of infantry and cavalry coordination:

Infantry vision can be better as the observer of the cavalry to determine the target. After determining the target, it will fire a "maoyi fire bullet" to indicate the target, and then the cavalry will attack the fire place...

Although the Qin army and the Pule cavalry did not even understand the language, the Shen army could still find this special way to make them closely coordinated.

At the same time, the Qin army infantry also shot arrows while advancing towards the Yuezhi Army.

At this time, Qiu could no longer control the troops.

In fact, Qiu Ju couldn't even control himself. He had heard of the "Pili Fireball" from the Huns for a long time and even saw it... Before that, the Huns gave a batch of "Pili Fireballs" to Yuezhi.

Of course, the Huns gave the "Pili Fireball" to Yuezhi.

This is what Maodun Chan thought:

In the Western Regions, who should be more powerful and able to suppress the countries in the Western Regions?

So this shouldn't be the time to hide and tease.

Ruoyuezhi saw on the battlefield that the Qin army had "thunder and thunder" but the Huns did not... Will it turn to the Qin army and even fight against the Huns with the Qin army?

Will the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions also follow the Yuezhi to the Qin army?

Therefore, Maodun Shanyu sent a group of Yuezhi, which was to make Yuezhi mentally prepared when dealing with the Qin army. The other was to show that there were some Qin army, and the Huns, so as to consolidate the prestige of the Huns in the Western Regions.

What's more, the Huns gave Yuezhi only more than a hundred "Sky Thunderstorms" instead of making and formulas. Then Yuezhi would just sit and eat the mountain and use one less. The Huns didn't need to worry that Yuezhi would use it to deal with the Huns. It can be said that it was a win-win situation.

But the Huns only knew "thunder and thunder" but did not learn to make "mai-clothed fireballs"... This is related to the fact that the Hun cavalry is not suitable for using catapults. Cavalry pays attention to quick attack and retreat, and of course it is impossible to follow the army's catapults.

So the Qin army shot the "Maiyi Fireball" at this time and received such a miraculous effect in the night battle, Qiu was surprised:

"The Huns only said that there was 'Sky Thunder', but 'Sky Thunder' would not explode with flames."

"And the Qin army not only has 'Sky Thunder' but also something like that can emit flames..."

"So is the Qin army more powerful than the Huns?"

"If the Qin army is even more powerful, did Yuezhi surrender to the wrong person this time?"

Amidst the waves of doubt and fear, Qiu shouted:

"Retreat troops, withdraw back to Suzhou!"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu turned around and ran away with his personal guards.

In fact, Qiu Jue couldn't blame him for this, because he knew in his heart what the Yuezhi Army was facing... The army collapsed and crowded together, and even if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to leave.

Can't he be captured by the Qin army in just one battle?

After the hill escaped for a few miles, it was found that the situation was worse than expected, because the cattle and sheep were also released by the soldiers. At this time, they were blocking the mountains and fields, and slowly moving forward while shouting. Occasionally, they stopped to eat a few bites of grass. They only moved when the soldiers shouted and drove away.

The personal guards hurriedly grabbed the front and drove Weiqiu, but they opened a road.

Qiu Juru went forward while ordering the soldiers who drove the sheep:

"Driving Yangjun to the roadside, do not block the road!"

The soldiers responded and drove away the flock according to the order.

Qiu Juke's idea is good.

By driving the flock off the road, you can get the army behind you away, or let the army escape as much as possible.

However, imagination is always far from reality.

If the Yuezhi escaped, the cavalry might be able to escape along the road smoothly, but that was 20,000 Yuezhi troops, and they collapsed and fled in a swarm.
