Chapter 196: Marksman

The Qin army launched a full-scale counterattack!

The method of combining the three arms of infantry, cavalry and crossbow made the Huns feel the gap in response to a single arm.

Hu Hanyan was panting, and Qin Qi had just retreated. He thought of taking the opportunity to pursue him, but he subconsciously raised his head and suddenly found that he was being surrounded.

On both wings, there were two black torrents rushing towards our rear formation. Not to mention, the main formation of the Qin army on the opposite side moved forward.

If the Qin army had put on this attitude before the killing began, Hu Hanyan would not be afraid. The three thousand tribesmen and knights under his command were all athletes on the grassland. Even if there were twice as many Qin people,

He could not shake his will to attack, but now, after the first wave of cavalry, Hu Hanyan's desire to win was shaken.

The two cavalry armies on the left and right of the Qin people were more than the same number as the Qin cavalry in the first round. Even if their combat strength was slightly worse, they were probably not much weaker. Plus there were thousands of infantry in front of them.

, even if this battle is won, it will be the result of losing both sides. At that time, no matter how much baggage and slaves are captured, he, Hu Hanyan, will not be able to take them back.

"Da Qin, Da Qin!"

The shouts of thousands of Qin army generals resounded throughout the valley, drowning out the chaotic shouts of the Huns.

War drums sounded like falling raindrops, crackling continuously. Hu Hanyan glanced from a distance and saw only a Qin general resting on his horse under the Qin army's banner. Under the protection of all the soldiers,

The various Qin armies are being dispatched to separate and encircle.

"Whoosh!"

Just when Hu Hanyan was about to give up, the wind rang in his ears, and a sharp arrow shot through the air. This arrow carried an unstoppable momentum, and he could accurately find Hu Hanyan among the chaotic group of riders.

Han Yan's position and skill in archery are truly astonishing.

Hu Hanyan quickly lowered his head, and the arrow shot past his head.

Just as he stood up, another arrow was fired at him. Hu Hanyan was considered to be an expert in horseback riding. He hid sideways behind the horse and narrowly escaped another hidden arrow.

Being named one after another by the sharpshooters of the Qin army, Hu Hanyan felt an unknown fire in his heart. When it came to archery, he was also outstanding among the Huns. At this time, being suppressed by the enemy, how could he remain calm?

.

Take a bow and set an arrow.

Hu Hanyan turned over and quickly returned to his horse, holding a bow in both hands. He glanced at the direction where he judged the enemy's arrows were coming from. What caught his eyes was not a Qin general, but a man wearing a uniform.

The infantrymen wearing ordinary Qin army armor are not amazing in appearance, and their faces even have a little greenness.

He was the one who plotted against himself.

Hu Hanyan was speechless. He had always had full confidence in his judgment ability, which was accumulated through years of experience on the grasslands. But was this young Qin soldier the murderer, or was the real master of archery still hiding in the cave?

Elsewhere, Hu Hanyan began to become suspicious.

"Whoosh!"

The young Qin soldier held the bow and shot another arrow steadily.

This time, Hu Hanyan saw clearly that it was him, because the target of this arrow was himself.

Hu Hanyan, who was so frightened that he could no longer care about anything, hurriedly loosened the bow string and let the arrow fly to an unknown place. At the same time, he suddenly tightened the rein of the horse and raised the front hooves of the mount high to cover himself.

The upper half of the body.

"Porphyrin!"

The arrow entered the horse's body.

"Herodus!" The war horse screamed for a while, with tears rolling down from its eyes. In pain, even the most obedient horse would no longer obey its master's command at this time.

"withdraw!"

Hu Hanyan screamed uncontrollably. At this time, no matter how slow he was, he understood that he was being targeted by the enemy's sharpshooter. If he took the risk of commanding again, his life would probably be at stake sooner or later.

Should we continue to command, or should we retreat to save our lives?

For this single multiple-choice question, Hu Hanyan decided to choose the latter without much thought. Compared with saving his life, it was not worthwhile to take the risk. If he died in battle, the beautiful female slaves snatched from his family, and those

Money and silk will all change owners.

Hu Hanyan kept urging, and he no longer dared to stand up. He rode his injured horse and fled towards the way he came. Behind him, the Huns cavalry who heard the order also turned their horses and lowered their bodies.

Escape.

A plundering battle, under the encirclement and annihilation of the Qin army, finally turned out to be the result of the Huns being annihilated instead of plundering. Luo Jia's cavalry clung closely to the Huns' fleeing cavalry, and a torn apart pursuit and escape began.

The killing begins——.

——.

Li Yuan quietly watched the cavalry from both sides gradually disappearing. The scattered and ownerless horses were mourning on the battlefield. Occasionally, one or two Hun cavalry who had not yet expired were moaning in a low voice. They would soon end this.

This was painful. Because the Qin army's infantry were searching from corner to corner for any remaining soldiers who were pretending to be dead.

In the search team, a young infantryman carrying a big bow attracted Li Yuan's attention. Just now, Han Yan was shot with several consecutive arrows and his fighting spirit was completely lost. It seemed to be the credit of this young man.

"Come here, call the young man with the bow on his back." Li Yuan ordered, and immediately some of his own soldiers rushed forward to deliver the order.

After a while, accompanied by Cao Xin, the young man followed him shyly. Seeing how close Cao Xin was to him, I guess the young man's shooting skills also impressed Cao Xin, a powerful general.

"Li Zhongxiang of Jingyang has met Marquis Shenwu." The young man blushed and said loudly.

"Li Zhongxiang, could it be little Li Xin who joined the army in Yongyi?" Li Yuan laughed. He had received a letter from Li Zheng earlier, and the letter mentioned Li Zhongxiang, a queen from a famous family.

"Marquis Shenwu also knows about my ancestors?" Li Zhongxiang said in surprise, taking out a letter of recommendation given to him by Li Zheng from his arms. This young man with a somewhat shy personality is actually very proud in his bones. If it weren't for this time,

Having accomplished great feats on the battlefield, I'm afraid he still won't produce this letter from Li Zheng.

"General Li is my general of the Qin Dynasty, and his surname is Di Dao, Longxi. Not long ago, I sent people to Didao to find out the whereabouts of his descendants, but I was unable to do so. I never thought that today, I would be able to meet brother Li on the battlefield." Li Yuan

He laughed and said, Li Zhongxiang's arrival made Li Yuan happy to see the hope for the future in the Qin army.

Li Xin, Li Zhongxiang, Li Guang, Li Ling——The Li family in Longxi can be called a family of military generals in the Qin and Han Dynasties. A family that can support so many outstanding generals, Li Yuan believes that other people in this family must not

It would be too bad. As long as we carefully explore it, perhaps the abilities of Li Zhongxiang and others will be able to make a qualitative leap compared to history.

Compared with Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Li Yuan, who have endless generals under their command, there are not many generals who are really useful. Even Luo Jia and Wang Shang, they are only making progress day by day through slowly acquired training.

, among them, there are successful examples and unsuccessful examples.

For example, Li Bi, Li Yuan's childhood friend, was stabbed in the gut by an enemy sword during the battle with Guifang. Now he has gradually faded out of the ranks of Qin army generals. Now Li Bi mainly serves as the commander of Xianyang.

Duty, responsible for the security of the capital, anti-theft and other daily affairs.

——.

The Qin army and the Huhan tribe of the Xiongnu were fighting fiercely in Chaochen. At this time, the Xiongnu's great chanyu Maodun was still on the Great Wall in Didao, admiring the different scenery inside and outside the Great Wall with a group of trusted generals.

In terms of the specific actions of plundering Qin, Mao Dun had no interest in participating or paying attention. A good fight with Qin's Shenwu Marquis, Li Yuan, who could also be called a legend, was what Mao Dun wanted to do most.

Therefore, the only information he asked the Xiongnu tribes to inquire about was the whereabouts of Li Yuan.

Where is Li Yuan?

The Xiongnu tribes were busy looting, and they were in an unfamiliar place. It was really not easy to find out the exact information. Therefore, Mao Dun did not force too much on this point.

However, when Hu Hanyan appeared in front of Mao Dun with a look of embarrassment and only a hundred lucky cavalrymen who had escaped, the great Chanyu who was decisive in killing became furious.

Hu Hanyan, this idiot, actually thought that he could capture and kill Li Yuan with just three thousand cavalry. He was really desperate.

Now, the Qin army has won another victory. This is already the second time. If such an example of being surrounded and annihilated occurs again, Mao Dun understands that the morale of the Xiongnu tribes will drop rapidly. After all, for the leaders of each tribe,

The purpose of going south this time was not to fight the Qin army, but to rob the Qin state.

No one imagined that Huhan Yan would be unlucky enough to fight with the Qin army. Some tribal leaders who were gloating about the misfortune were already secretly plotting how to annex the Huhan tribe, which had lost its main strength, as soon as possible when they returned to the grassland.

Mao Dun's face was hesitant, and Hu Hanyan was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, his short and sturdy body lying on the bluestone ground of the Great Wall, and did not even dare to raise his head, for fear of angering Mao Dun again and causing disaster.

After a while of silence.

Suddenly, a man hurriedly ran up from the bottom of the Great Wall and said repeatedly: "Dad Chanyu, seventy miles east of the Great Wall, a Qin army scout was found. The flag should be that of the Qin State's border cavalry in the Jiuyuan area.

"

Modun turned around to look, but it was Youguduhou running over with a worried look on his face. The troops of Youguduhou of the Xiongnu were divided according to their forces and plundered west of the Hetao near Jiuyuan County of Qin State. Years ago, they were in the hands of the border troops.

The Right Bone Duhou, who had suffered a lot, was very careful this time and sent scouts one after another in the direction of Jiuyuan to investigate. Fortunately, it was his caution that allowed the border army's encirclement to be discovered early.

"Order all the troops to move closer to Didao quickly. Anyone who retreats without permission will be killed without mercy." The continuous unfavorable news made Mao Dun become murderous. The arrival of the border troops undoubtedly gave the Qin army the confidence to counterattack the Huns' cavalry.

After thinking about it carefully, Mao Dun understood Li Yuan's strategic intention, but he was not prepared to retreat just yet.

The Huns' cavalry would never withdraw without starting a fight, no matter what the circumstances.

Mao Dun immediately decided to set up a battlefield at the foot of Didao's Great Wall and have a good contest with Li Yuan. Whether it was a civil or military fight, there would be a winner.
