Late autumn.

Dots of golden color fall on the mountains and fields.

Clusters of unknown wild flowers bloomed beside the road, exuding a refreshing fragrance. In the rows of Tianlong not far away, the cultivated fields developed by the Qin people were dotted in a grid shape, occasionally and sometimes not in time.

Several clusters of harvested wheat stalks nodded in the wind, seeming to welcome the arrival of the Huns.

"Haha, it turns out that Qin's dogs are all hiding here. No wonder I couldn't find them no matter how hard I searched before." Hu Hanyan whipped his horse and whipped his horse, feeling extremely happy. If he wanted to gain a big harvest from plundering the court this time, besides turning over the Maodun army,

A part of the Shanyu, and the rest was enough for the Huhan tribe to survive the harsh winter.

winter.

For every tribe on the prairie, it is the most severe test of survival. Cattle and sheep are frozen to death, and young children die due to the harsh living environment. Without a future, the tribe loses the possibility of growing. This is also the grassland.

The reason why the tribe wants to move south every year at all costs.

They have no other better choice.

The ups and downs of Liupan Mountain are like being dressed in golden attire, and Chao Chen is the brightest pearl in this attire. The pastoral scenery of the mountains and fields makes the Huns' blood boil. The prosperity of the Qin people comes from farming.

Technology, this is a skill that grassland tribes can never learn.

Just like talking about horseback riding skills, the Huns are a natural nation on horseback. In this regard, it is almost impossible for the Qin, Zhao and other Central Plains people to defeat the Huns cavalry under the same conditions.

With this self-confidence, Hu Hanyan couldn't wait to launch a blitz offensive against Chen without knowing it. This was a blitz war and a classic war under asymmetric conditions.

——.

Directly north of Chencheng.

An open and gentle slope was Li Yuan's carefully selected preset battlefield.

The slope here is slightly gentle, with an elevation angle of 30 degrees. If the Huns wanted to break through the low city wall, which had almost no resistance, they had to jump over this gentle slope first.

The Qin army concentrated almost all its troops in the Longxi area. Six thousand Qin cavalry gathered here and formed three waves in front. The cavalry commander, Luo Jia, wore a helmet all over his body and held a bronze spear.

Halberd, leading two thousand cavalry at the forefront. After more than a year of training, this crossbow cavalry under Luo Jia finally went into battle.

The equipment of the Qin army's crossbow cavalry is different from that of the Huns' cavalry. In addition to being equipped with bronze halberds for horseback combat, these cavalrymen also have a standard machine crossbow hung on the back of the saddle. Their main function is to provide the enemy with accurate accuracy at medium and long distances.

The first wave of blows, at the same time, in terms of equipment, a large number of bronze stirrups and bronze saddles also gave this Qin cavalry a kingly spirit.

In comparison, the Huns cavalry wearing felt hats made of animal skins and carrying simple long bows were like beggars. It made people feel the huge gap in national strength.

Behind Luo Jia's cavalry, close to the city wall, was where Shenwu Marquis Li Yuan's central army envoy was located. Surrounding him were a mixed force of more than 4,000 people, including both infantry and cavalry.

Li Zhongxiang rushed to Chaochen last night. This long-distance food transportation operation was the last large-scale supply operation on the grain road between Yongyi and Chaochen. After that, as the Huns cavalry galloped against each other,

As the Tao's harassment intensified, the Qin army under Li Yuan may rely on the accumulated grain and fodder to carry out operations.

Fortunately, Chao Chen's position was deep in Liupan Mountain. If the Huns attacked, they could only enter and exit through one opening. This avoided the possibility that the Qin army might be surrounded and annihilated by wolves of the Huns in the wilderness battle.

"Finally we are going to the battlefield!" Li Zhongxiang secretly took a breath and tried hard to stop shaking his hands. As a shooter, his task is not to go into battle and fight for his life, but to use precise shooting skills to name the Huns one after another.

of enemy cavalry.

Not far away, the banner with the character "Li" written by the Shenwu Marquis in the Qin Army was fluttering in the wind, which made Li Zhongxiang feel an unprecedented sense of pride. He also had the surname Li. One day, he, Li Zhongxiang, would also become the banner under that banner.

famous general.

"Herod!"

"Leah, Leah, Leah—!"

The piercing sound of the war echoed in the mountains for a long time, and the Huns finally came!

Hu Hanyan's journey was smooth, and he encountered almost no resistance. The morale of the Huns' cavalry was maintained well. Hu Hanyan, who had been worried about whether the news was reliable, couldn't help but be excited when he saw the black Qin army's banner with white borders.

Raise your chin high.

The people of Qin actually dared to go out of the city to fight in the field. They really didn’t know whether to live or die!

Didn't Li Yuan say that General Qin, a very scheming and scheming general, would unexpectedly underestimate the enemy so much? Thinking of this, Hu Hanyan felt that the blood in his body was about to boil.

"My sons, pick up your weapons, cut down the banners of the Qin dogs, rob their women, and pick up their treasures. Whichever unit seizes more will be distributed more in due time. I am willing to plow the Gu Tu Da Da."

Shanyu protect us." Hu Hanyan shouted loudly, and his words made the Huns excited and full of fighting spirit.

Trophies of the Huns.

There are mainly two types: people and things. People are slaves, and things are mainly money, silk and other things. In the life of the Huns, they occupy an extremely important position. If a tribe has no loot all year round, it means that the tribe has slowly declined.

Started to go down the road of decline.

This time when they went south to plunder, although all the Xiongnu tribes recognized the great Chanyu Motun and obeyed his orders, they differed in the specific implementation.

Each Xiongnu tribe has its own interests. Whoever grabs the spoils first will return first. This is the custom followed by the Huns every time they go south. At this point, even Maodun can't change it, because it involves

The Huns now have a loose tribal alliance system.

Over the years, there have been endless annexations and internal fights among the Xiongnu tribes. There are also examples of tribes that were attacked and destroyed by the enemy because the men of the tribe went to war. This is the law of tribe survival on the grassland.

Hu Hanyan imagined that after this battle, he would be loaded with loot and return to the grassland as soon as possible. As long as he could return before other tribes could do so, the Huhan tribe would have a chance to grow.

——.

The two armies are getting closer and closer.

The shouts and cries of the Xiongnu were performed lively, and the heads of the Qin people hanging under the necks of the horses of the Xiongnu cavalry in the front row could be seen.

The pale and lifeless face, the eyes that refused to be humiliated, and the blood-sweat-filled necks all made the generals of the Qin army feel humiliated and unwilling.

The Qin army was horribly silent.

No one spoke, except for the heavy breathing of war horses and the tramping of horse hooves.

Under strict military discipline, the generals of the Qin army, despite the anger in their eyes and the trembling hands holding crossbows, still managed to maintain restraint.

They are waiting.

Waiting for the moment the order is issued.

"Da Qin, kill the enemy!"

“Kill, kill, kill—!”

With the waving of the large banner of the Chinese army and the loud shout of Luo Jia, the two thousand Qin cavalry in the front line were condescending and pressed towards the Huns like wind and lingering clouds.

Hu Hanyan shouted, commanding the Xiongnu cavalry to use long bows to suppress the Qin cavalry. If fighting on flat ground, the range of bows and arrows is greater than that of crossbows. In this kind of medium and long-distance competition, the Huns will not suffer in a short time.

, and even had a slight upper hand, but now it was on a gentle slope, and the power of Qin's swooping horse suddenly strengthened, and before the Huns could even shoot an arrow, they had already rushed to the front.

The crossbows of the first row of Qin cavalry were firing wildly. After the second round of shooting, they were only ten steps away from the Huns. The Qin cavalry mounted their crossbows, picked up their halberds, and headed towards the Huns' formation.

Killed in the past.

"Quickly, kill that enemy general." Hu Hanyan was shocked. The Qin army's swift and violent movements surprised him. The Qin army's riding skills on the horse gave him a refreshing feeling.

Riding against riding.

A group of Qin cavalry charged into the Xiongnu cavalry formation from the side. The Qin general who led it was none other than Cao Xin, who had lost an aim. This battle was also the first time that Cao Xin was liberated from his status as a personal soldier by Li Yuan.

Coming out, this also means that Cao Xin will have the opportunity to lead the army independently like Luo Jia and others.

"You bastard, die!" Cao Xin shouted, and he rushed towards a Huns hundred cavalry commander to kill him. With the strong support of the stirrups and saddle, Cao Xin's movements on the horse were more flexible than the Huns.

"Qin Gou, I don't want to live anymore!" The short, stocky and thick-browed Xiongnu Hundred Cavalry Commander was also a warrior known for his bravery. When he saw the one-eyed fellow on the other side daring to challenge him, he immediately became full of fighting spirit.

In this corner of the battlefield, Cao Xin and the Xiongnu Hundred Cavalry Commander were locked in an inextricable battle. For a moment, there was no clear winner. The battle between cavalry and cavalry gradually became a stalemate.

Li Yuan watched the battle at the main line of the Qin army with a cold expression. The fierce battle in front of him made him sigh in his heart. The Xiongnu cavalry was indeed outstanding in combat power. In real terms, the Huhan Yan tribe was not the most elite cavalry under Mao Dun, but just one

In terms of combat power, Qin Qi could only fight to a draw at best.

In order to train a real cavalry army that can sweep across the grasslands, the Qin army's cavalry must undergo greater tests and must train harder.

"Ming Jin, give the order to General Luo Jia, the cavalry team, retreat!"

"The second and third cavalry teams, outflank the left and right wings, the infantry and crossbow troops, move forward and attack!" Li Yuan leaned forward slightly and shouted to the soldiers beside him.

"No!" The horseman quickly rushed to the side of the battle formation and gave orders to the soldiers responsible for transmitting orders.

Soon, the clear sound of gongs sounded, and there was a rush. After hearing the order, the Qin cavalry began to break away from the enemy. The four thousand Qin cavalry who had been accumulating strength, led by the deputy general, began to move towards the two wings of the battle formation.

At the same time, the Qin army's central army, escorted by infantry, began to move forward.

The moment of decisive battle has finally arrived.

After testing Hu Hanyan's trump card, Li Yuan immediately decided to concentrate all his strength to completely defeat this arrogant and aggressive Xiongnu tribe.
Chapter completed!
