Tiffler was covered in blood.

The usual arrogance was no longer on his arrogant face. The tenacity and bravery of Qin Qi opposite him made him, who had always considered himself a warrior, feel fear in his heart.

Luo Jia's situation was not much better than that of Tiefu. He had already gone into battle with injuries, but this time he went into battle with anger. All his generals also fought bravely. Even though they were equal in number to the Tiefu tribe, Qin

The army gradually gained the upper hand.

"How dare the Qin people confront each other head-on?"

"What is that strange saddle and that harness on the feet? It can actually make the Qin people sit so securely on their horses." After having doubts in his mind, the Tiefu people's fighting spirit became lower and lower.

Tie Fule is not the only one who has such surprising thoughts. Although the Huns generals have always been wary of the Qin army, they are mainly afraid of the intensive shooting of the Qin army's crossbows. For close combat, especially immediate close combat, the Huns have always been very cautious.

I had confidence, but today, everything was overturned.

"Listen, warriors of the Tiefu tribe, the wise king has an order. Whoever kills three Qin barbarians in formation today will be rewarded generously!" Just when Tiefulu decided to retreat, Zhelan Lei's mocking voice sounded.

Morning.

Tie Fule, who was still laughing at Zhelan Lei for not daring to go into battle, finally tasted the retribution. The addition of Zhelan tribe left him with no way out. On the Qin army side, seeing the other side increasing their troops, the Qin army quickly

Another wave of cavalry was thrown into the battle.

Li Yuan watched one group after another of Qin cavalry enter the battlefield from beginning to end. This was a contest of will and will, and also a competition between the morale of the Qin people and the Huns. Li Yuan wanted to use the Huns' most respected

To defeat opponents in a arrogant way, causing them to completely lose their sense of superiority on the battlefield.

Under the cover of the city.

Valley water valley.

The ownerless horses, the corpses of generals lying on the ground, and the broken flags silently told the cruelty of this war. From this day on, the confrontation between the Qin and Hungarian armies was accompanied by fierce confrontations.

The competition begins.

——.

During the bloody battle in Gaizang City, Qin General Cao believed in Li Yuan's general order and led 3,000 carefully selected Yueshi warriors to embark on a lonely journey deep into the enemy's rear.

This is an untrodden route. Starting from the southern foot of Wushaoling, it penetrates into the vast snow-covered Qilian Mountains. Then it inserts into the narrow valley between the Qilian Mountains and the Yanzhi Mountains, and finally appears suddenly in the mountains and plains.

In front of the Huns.

Based on their familiarity with the Hexi Corridor, the route chosen by the Xiaoyuezhi people is located in the ravines of deep mountains and ridges. Normally, only herdsmen would take such an extremely dangerous trail. This route is a combination of the Xiaoyuezhi people's

In many aspects, the march plan was finally given. Looking at the red eyes of his subordinates and the trembling hands holding weapons, even Cao Xin, who had always been rough-looking, couldn't help but be moved.

This time, with their infinite attachment to their homeland and their deep-seated hatred for the Huns who had taken away their homeland, the Xiaoyue people plucked up their courage again. They picked up their swords and straightened their chests.

The grassland where the snow is gradually melting looks like a soft mat covered with thick grass carpets. If one lacks eyesight and experience, it will be a trap when one steps on it, and once a person falls into it, he will be trapped.

There was basically no hope of survival, and marching on the meadow where self-rescue was not long away tested one's courage.

Cao Xinshen walked in the Qilian Valley with one foot and one foot at a time. Through the gaps in the grass mat, you could see a few young grasses that were eager to get out first and quietly poked their heads out, as if they were looking at all the people passing by.

Life sang, in the direction of the Qin army's march. From time to time, birds were frightened and flapped their wings, trying to lure away the group of enemies that threatened the nest.

"Shoot!" The arrows from the army were accurately shot, causing the frightened bird to fall straight from the air.

This attack was carried out in a secretive manner. Any negligence may lead to disaster. The fallen bird fell straight into the mud swamp. The Yuezhi generals who only focused on the march focused all their attention on

In order to detect the enemy's situation, the temptation of delicious food becomes insignificant in the face of the pressure of revenge.

"General, after passing the Shendian grassland in front, we will reach Yanzhi Mountain. Let's take a rest here first, and then attack after the scouts have discovered the location of the Xiongnu tribe!" The Yuezhi captain who led the way said excitedly.

He returned to the meadow cautiously and lowered his voice.

"Remember: we are the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, we are brave and fearless, and we are invincible! Don't let the Qiang barbarians and the Huns barbarians underestimate us." Cao Xin's bell-like eyes were filled with blazing flames.

First battle.

If they can successfully plunder in the first battle, the Yuezhi people can use this as a springboard to obtain a series of information about the Xiongnu tribe. This is crucial for the Qin army whose situation is still unclear. On the contrary, if they fail, they will be expelled by the Huns.

Entering the meadow, the Qin army, which was about to run out of dry food and had no other supplies, would be in danger of destruction.

——.

White dome tents are scattered dotted on the sunny slope. This is the northern foot of Yanzhi Mountain, the holy land of the Yuezhi people in the past.

Now, this is the pasture of the Xiongnu Zhelan tribe.

On the edge of the dome, several strong war horses were tied to wooden stakes and were gnawing at the grass roots under the snow. Beside them, a strong Huns man who had lost his legs was looking at his empty space with infinite nostalgia.

In the empty lower body, except for the two normal legs missing, in fact, even the one with the dignity of a man no longer exists.

A year ago, following the fleeing footsteps of the Xiao Yueshi people, this fierce Huns soldier entered the Great Wall and entered the wealthy country of their tribe's dreams - the State of Qin.

Ever since King Youxian captured a beautiful Qin woman named Erlan, everyone in the Zhelan tribe considered it an honor to be able to conquer a Qin woman.

"It's such a pity. It's just a little bit short. If it had been faster, I might have become the right general." The former Hun officer sighed and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a look of horror appeared in his eyes, and a strange team appeared at the end of the grassland and snow-capped mountains not far away.

Some of them were on horses, some were on foot, and some were wearing the pastoral robes of the Yuezhi people in the past. Such a disparate team made the injured Huns soldier feel dangerously close.

"There is an enemy!"

He screamed loudly, and at the same time struggled to grab a stick from the grass nearby. The soldier's instinct was still there, but the only half of his body was no longer as flexible as before.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow shot out and nailed the wounded Xiongnu soldier's throat, completely giving up this guy who fantasized about getting promoted and making a fortune.

Seeing the Xiongnu tribe right in front of them, the Xiaoyue people swallowed the cold snow in big mouthfuls and quickly took out the sharp arrows from the arrow pot. Shooting while running is the specialty of the grassland people.

When the shot was fired into the resting place of the Huns, only the old and weak Zhelan tribe's camp was suddenly plunged into chaos.

This was a one-sided massacre.

The process was exactly the same as when the Huns occupied Hexi and expelled the Yuezhi people. For many years, this kind of war between the grassland peoples was repeated. One tribe died and another tribe became stronger.

At only the cost of more than ten people being injured and five people killed in battle, Cao Xin's Yuezhi soldiers harvested the first heavy fruit on the road to the surprise attack.

With his first harvest, Cao Xin felt confident.

In the following month, this Qin army composed of Yuezhi people made circuitous attacks between two mountains and one sea, appearing and disappearing, harassing the Xiongnu tribes in misery. As a last resort, King Youxian had to take the orchid and songhua from Wu.

The Sheoling front line withdrew one of Zhelan Lei's troops to protect their pasture.

At the same time, the furious Zhelan Songhua was inspired by the Qin army's attack on the back road, and ordered Hu Yanxie to lead 10,000 elite troops from the northern grassland to the rear of the Qin army to destroy the Qin army's supply lines. These two

After the force was dispatched, the Huns on the front line of Gaizang City switched from offensive to defensive. They only relied on the favorable terrain to hold on, and almost no longer took the initiative to launch any attacks on the main force of the Qin army. The situation in Hexi immediately changed from the first stage of encounter to

A protracted war of mutual destruction.

——.

Jincheng.

This emerging city located to the west of the river is the youngest city in the Qin State. Now, it is also an important supply place for the Qin Army in Hexi.

Weapons from Jinyang, Nanzheng, and Lishan, grain from Bashu, and military changes in the Guandong area passed from Chang'an City will be transferred in Jincheng first, and then sent to the Gushui front line.

This time, Zhang Han personally escorted five thousand shi of wheat to the Qin army camp. In order to ensure the safety of this trip, this veteran general who had experienced many battles chose a safe route.

From Jincheng, follow the road at the foot of the Qilian Mountains to the west. Although the distance is longer, you can get a certain degree of safety guarantee. A high mountain allows the Qin army, which is mainly infantry, to choose to climb when encountering the Xiongnu cavalry.

A temporary chariot formation was built on the mountainside to hold on, and the Huns' horses would lose their speed advantage when attacking from behind.

Ma Jin was wearing a black armor robe of an ordinary Qin soldier, holding a bronze sword in his hand, and commanded a group of soldiers to carry grain to a mule cart. This was his first expedition after re-enlisting in the army.

The glory of the past has passed.

Everything started again, and Ma Jin was not the only veteran soldier of the Qin army who was eager to prove himself again. In his team, there were no less than twenty former soldiers who had returned from Pengcheng.

Ma Jin and his old superior Zhang Han knew each other once. In this 20,000-strong logistics recruit force that lacked grassroots officers, experienced officers like Ma Jin were extremely valuable. Zhang Han considered Ma Jin's situation.

After Jin's ability, he was appointed as the military prince of the former army.

There is a level difference between a military prince and a captain.

For Ma Jin, this was his new starting point, so when he saw the scouts running fast from a distance, Ma Jin's scarred face showed a smile eager to fight.

"Come on, Hun Si, let's have a taste of Grandpa Ma's power!" Ma Jin is full of fighting spirit. The image of his love rival Han Si who is unyielding in difficult situations makes him feel deeply humiliated. Now he wants to prove himself and prove it to his woman and daughter.
