The Xiongnu who came to attack were not too many, only more than 3,000 cavalry. They were not really from the Xiongnu in the north, but some herdsmen from a small tribe of the Xiongnu near the Qin border. But because they grew up

It is longer than a horse, so its attack power on a horse is still extremely strong.

This attack on Shanggu was a helpless move. I don’t know what happened. This year’s spring was particularly cold, which caused many herdsmen’s cattle and sheep to die of cold and starvation. In order for the tribe to continue to survive, their leader had to bring

With this group of cavalry, which is half civilian and half army, they attack the Shanggu guarded by Qin soldiers.

Originally everything was as Ji Du expected. Their people sneaked close to the city gate without being discovered by the people above. But just when they climbed up the city with ropes and killed the guards and wanted to open the city gate to let the cavalry in,

But they happened to run into the guards who came to change shifts, thus alerting the soldiers in the city. These Xiongnu cavalry were powerful on horseback, but now they were on the ground and surrounded by many Qin soldiers, so they were all killed in a few seconds.

.

The Huns outside the city also realized that the raid was unsuccessful, so they bravely launched a forceful attack. But what they did not expect was that due to the arrival of Meng Tian and Fusu, Shanggu, which originally did not have many troops, actually had tens of thousands more troops.

, this time their strong attack completely turned into an attack with an egg against a stone. However, because it was very dark, the people in the city did not dare to go out to fight, so it became an offensive and defensive battle now.

This is what Fusu saw. As an armed police soldier, although he had experienced some gun battles with gangsters, those battles involved dozens of people at most, but now he saw a scene he had never seen before.

The city wall was filled with Qin soldiers, but it was unclear how many Huns were there below. The ones above were throwing stones and wood downwards, while the ones below were constantly dodging while firing arrows upwards. Bows and arrows were whizzing past them.

Flying over, Fusu's blood was boiling. He suddenly lifted a huge stone and threw it down, regardless of his identity. The guard next to him was startled by his sudden move and hurriedly carried him away.

At the entrance of the city wall.

Meng Tian on the side had just seen the situation on the city wall, and asked the guard what happened, and then he breathed a big sigh of relief. If it hadn't happened to be the changing of the guard, the city gate would have been broken, allowing those Huns to

If the cavalry came in, the losses would be great, and Ang Fusu might even be hurt. Thinking of this, Meng Tian's eyes flashed with murderous intent. No matter what, he could not let these Huns who dared to attack his station leave here alive.

Fusu on the other side said to the guards: "Why are you holding me so far away? These Huns' arrows can't hit me."

"First Prince, it's too dangerous here. I think you should go back to the city first. With us here, we can definitely kill all these blind barbarians." Meng Tian hurriedly came over and said to Fusu.

But every man is bloody. How could Fusu, who was interested in the fierce offensive and defensive battle, be willing to leave here easily? He shook his head and said: "As the prince of Da Qin, I should defend the city with these soldiers."

, not to mention that I am still accompanying the army to supervise the army, let alone running away in the face of battle."

Seeing Fusu's tough attitude, Meng Tian had no choice but to agree to let him stay on the city wall, but at the same time he mobilized dozens of soldiers to surround Fusu and surrounded him. Fusu looked at himself

Seeing the situation around me, I could only smile bitterly. I didn't expect that not only could I not be helpful on the city wall, but I would become a burden.

But other Qin soldiers don't think so. The Qin State has always been founded on bravery, and the Qin monarchs in front are all good players in battle, and they often charge forward when the two armies are fighting. Although the Qin State has now unified the world

, the monarch also became the emperor, but the image of the monarch deeply rooted in the hearts of the Qin people still existed. Today, the prince and the soldiers resisted the enemy on the city wall, which greatly enhanced the morale of the Qin soldiers.

Suddenly a soldier shouted: "Correct the old Qin, and we will fight for the national calamity together!" The sergeant next to him heard this shout, and he also shouted at the same time: "Correct the old Qin, and we will fight for the national calamity together!" Then the whole Shanggu people gathered.

The sergeants all roared out the sentence "Correct the old Qin, and fight against the national calamity together!" The sound shook the sky. With the roar that stirred people's hearts, the Qin people's bows and arrows shot more densely, and the stones were thrown faster.

In one fell swoop, the Huns outside were completely covered.

The Huns who were attacking the city gate were shocked when they suddenly heard the roar of the angry men inside. Someone immediately reported it to Harile. Harile had also heard the roar, "Is it true that there are really many people in Shanggu County?"

Guard? But our spies got the news a month ago that there are only a thousand Qin people guarding the upper valley."

Ji Du, who was next to him, also looked confused: "Even if the Qin people put heavy troops in the north, they can't garrison tens of thousands of people at every pass. Do they know they will be attacked? No, it's impossible! This

The plan to suddenly attack Shanggu and then use it as a springboard to enter the Central Plains, so as to advance, attack, retreat and defend was only formulated a month ago with only a few thousand defenders in Shanggu, and it is impossible for the Qin people to know."

While they were confused, hundreds of Hun knights had been killed by random arrows and stones. The Huns had no choice but to retreat.

"Chief, let's leave here. We have lost hundreds of people." A general shouted to Harile.

Harile looked at the Qin soldiers on the wall, and then at the fallen Hun warriors in front, and could only grit his teeth and said: "Retreat!"

Following his order to retreat, the Huns turned their horses and were about to leave.

But by this time the sky was already getting slightly brighter.

After a round of fierce attacks pushed back the Huns, Meng Tian and the guards breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. "First Prince, you should go back first. The Huns have been repelled by us." One of the guards advised Fusu.

.

At this time, Fusu had also calmed down. He knew that being here would make them unable to let go, so he nodded, got up and walked down.

"It's almost dawn," a soldier said, looking at the slightly fish-white sky.

"Hey, there aren't many Huns." A sergeant pointed at the retreating Huns cavalry outside and said.

Meng Tian hurriedly looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that there were only at most five thousand people in the formation. "It's unreasonable, five thousand Huns dare to attack our Qin border!" Meng Tian said angrily, "Liu Meng, Zhang Fan, I order you two to take three thousand each.

Go out and kill all the Huns."

"Yes!" After receiving the general's order, the two generals immediately ordered their troops and horses, opened the city gate and rushed towards the Huns.

When Fusu heard that they were going out of the city to attack the Huns, he was curious about how the ancients fought. He turned back when he was about to leave, and walked to the battlements of the city wall to watch.

Outside Shanggu County is a large plain, which is very convenient for the two sides to set up their positions for a decisive battle.

With a creaking sound, the city gate opened. The chariot was in the lead, followed by the cavalry and infantry of the Qin army.

This chariot is a carriage used for fighting in ancient times. It is usually a single-coupled chariot with two wheels and a square carriage. It is driven by four or two horses. There are three soldiers in the car, and one person in the middle is the driver.

There are many types of chariots, including light chariots, ram chariots, and pendulum chariots. The chariot that rushed out this time was a double-column chariot. Originally, there were no chariots in the upper valley. They mainly defended the city.

, and they were not expected to go out of the city to kill the enemy, but Meng Tian's army was equipped with such high-end weapons in terms of current military strength.

Fusu had only seen this kind of thing in historical movies. He saw that most of it was made of wood, but the front, back, left and right were covered with copper. There were three people in the car, the middle one was driving a carriage, one side was holding a Changge, and the other was

The other man was holding a crossbow, which made his eyes wide open.

The Huns who were just about to retreat suddenly saw the city gate open and so many people rushing out. Knowing that they were no match for them, they hurriedly rode away. But crossbows and bows and arrows were already fired at them. At the last moment,

The Hun cavalry had no time to parry and were shot to death by random arrows, including both men and horses.

Just when they were stunned, the Qin cavalry had already caught up with them. They raised the sharp copper swords in their hands and slashed at their necks, closely followed by more than a dozen chariots.

In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, the role of the chariot is no less than that of today's tanks. With its huge body and huge impact, it is difficult for anyone to resist it from the front. On both sides of the chariot are the warriors and warriors of Wu Ge.

The crossbowman who shoots arrows is like a tractor that plows a path through the fields, while the chariot plows a bloody path among the Huns.

Because of the impact of the chariots and cavalry in front, the infantry behind became freeloaders. They pushed forward in a neat square formation, and as long as there was an enemy who fell but was not dead, they would give him a blow.

In just half an hour, more than a thousand of the more than 3,000 Huns were killed. The others escaped because they were better at horsemanship than the Qin cavalry and faster than the heavy chariots.

"Isn't it too cruel for them to kill the fallen enemies like this?" Fusu looked at the one-sided massacre and couldn't help but ask himself, "No, they were right to do this. These invading barbarians should be treated like

They are afraid, so that they will not dare to invade in the future. If they really invade the Shanggu, our fate may not be as good as theirs." Fusu thought of a certain country in later generations because we were too merciful.

That's why they keep clamoring. Perhaps China in this era when Confucian civilization has not yet been vigorously promoted is the China that the barbarians fear.

"I didn't expect the Huns to be so vulnerable." A soldier guarding the city said disdainfully.

"No, it's not that they are incompetent but that we had the upper hand." Meng Tian noticed that there were signs of underestimating the enemy in the army and hurriedly interrupted them.
