The Chu army was in desperate situation.

This time heading north to Youyan is Xiang Yu's bold attempt to break the Chu army's unfavorable military situation. Youyan is the closest to Chu and the only pasture that has not yet fallen into the hands of Qin. If he can successfully occupy the territory of Yan,

Especially by occupying the two rich pasture lands of Yuyang and Liaodong, the Chu army could no longer be constrained by the lack of war horses and compete with the powerful Qin on a broader battlefield in the north.

The formation of the Chu army's sharp cavalry allowed Xiang Yu to see hope, but at the same time he fell into greater danger. The Huns' southern invasion caught the Chu army off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Ji County.

In the Chu army camp in the city, Xiang Zhuang had a tense face and was solemnly inspecting the formation of his subordinates. During this period, the military discipline of the Chu army was severely broken. All Xiang Zhuang could do was to restrain his subordinates. At the same time,

, he would also try every means to launch several sneak attacks on the Huns' camps at night in order to obtain some food to satisfy his hunger.

"Major General, if we continue to be trapped here, I'm afraid we will be like the people in the city. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, we might as well fight to the death to defeat him -!" Beside Xiang Zhuang, a close lieutenant tightened his sword and said,

A low remonstrance.

Xiang Zhuang's subordinates.

The number has dropped sharply from the peak of 10,000 people to the current number of more than 6,000. If they continue to be hungry, there will be even fewer soldiers who can fight. By then, the Huns will not need to attack, and they will be defeated first.

"Wait for another three days. After three days, if there is no news of reinforcements, we will protect the Overlord and fight out." Xiang Zhuang's face twitched as he stood up, and his strong body began to shake due to days of hunger.

The Chu army in Ji County.

Xiang Yu's personal troops are the most powerful, but they only have a thousand people. Next, Xiang Zhuang's troops are the most powerful. If he wants to successfully break through the layers of surrounding Huns, without Xiang Zhuang's support, Xiang Yu will never be able to escape.

day of birth.

Luanshui.

Just two hours after Gan Yong's troops arrived, they were discovered by the patrolling Huns. A strange yet familiar army in black clothes and black armor unexpectedly appeared, making the Huns, who had been exhausted from long battles, feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

It is not that all the Huns are ignorant. The unique symbols of the Qin army, the stern faces and the intimidating crossbows all indicate that this is a force that cannot be underestimated.

Xubuhun, the king of Youguli who is responsible for the peripheral suppression, has been very proud of the recent spring breeze. He unexpectedly annihilated nearly 20,000 people from Zhou Lan's tribe of the Chu army. This made Xubuhun's reputation almost equal to that of the left and right kings. Recently, Maodun was ill and could not afford it.

The important task of commanding the armies of each tribe was naturally shouldered by Xubuhun.

South of Ji County.

When Xu Buhun received the news that a portion of the Qin army had entered Luanshui, a fierce battle was raging on another battlefield. Men not only need to be majestic on the battlefield, but they also need to be majestic on women.

"King Guli, this Qin army is very strange. It only has five or six thousand people, but it dares to penetrate deep into the hinterland of our great Xiongnu. What are they relying on? Could it be that they just use crossbows, or there are other Qin armies?

He's dormant." Supervisor Zang Yan advised.

"Zang Yan, you are afraid of being beaten by the Qin people. There are only a few thousand people. How can our huge Huns cavalry be defeated in a field battle? Come, gather people and horses, and surround and annihilate this group of Qin thieves." Xu Buhun said in front of Zang Yan.

The face climbed up from the body of a beautiful Yan woman. The object under the crotch shook, and a few drops of turbid white liquid dripped.

Zang Yan followed Maodun's order and came to Xubuhun as a condolence. In fact, he was to supervise the army. However, his words obviously did not serve as a warning. On the contrary, Xubuhun treated Zang Yan as a Xiongnu.

A self-proclaimed guy

Disgusted. It's no wonder that a foreigner kept claiming that he was a Huns. Not only Xu Buhun didn't want to see such an extremely shameless guy, but also other Huns generals also kept a distance from Zang Yan.

By the Luan River.

A war of encirclement and counter-encirclement and annihilation began.

Under the command of Gan Yong, the Qin crossbowmen used dense machine crossbow formations to face indifferently the approaching batches of Hun cavalry. When the arrogant Hun cavalry approached in a group charging formation, they were hit by arrows.

A head-on blow from the arrow formation.

A stout Hun centurion shouted, urging his strong horses to rush to the front. In his heart, he longed for the glory of beheading the enemy general, which would allow his tribe to receive generous rewards, so that in the next step

They took an advantage in the grassland survival competition. However, the next moment, the warriors of this small tribe regretted it.

"Prepare, release!"

"Put it back!"

"The third group, rapid fire!"

The three-stage attack tactics of the Qin Army's crossbow troops made the Huns' violent attack a complete failure. The war horse under the Centurion's crotch whined and fell to the ground in this round of arrow rain, and the war horse fell to its knees with its helpless front hooves, making

Unexpectedly, the knight on horseback was thrown high and unexpectedly rolled down to the front of the Qin army's crossbow formation.

"ah!"

The Hun centurion struggled to get up dizzy. When he opened his eyes and saw the black crossbows pointed at him, his eyes were finally filled with fear.

Unfortunately, everything is too late.

Almost at the same time as the Huns stood up, several arrows pierced straight into his hot-blooded body. For a moment, the strong and powerful body trembled and struggled a few times, then fell weakly backwards to the ground.

Sky.

It is still blue, very much like the blue lake on the edge of the North Sea in my hometown.

Unfortunately, I can never go back.

The moment he closed his eyes, the Hun centurion's heart was filled with regret.

In their first attack, the Huns charged into the formation with an arrogant and violent attack, trying to use the wild advantage of the cavalry to disperse the Qin army, which was dominated by infantry. Unfortunately, their efforts finally failed.

When the Qin army's formation reached a distance of 200 steps, it had to call it quits.

Just now, the lucky and unlucky Hun centurion was the first one to rush forward, while the other Hun cavalry were fleeing in panic in the face of the constant rain of arrows.

"The infantry come out and collect the arrows quickly." Ma Jin's voice was loud. Under his command, groups of Qin infantry holding long berylliums and spears were divided into teams of five and quickly passed through the crossbow formation.

, came to the death battlefield where the Huns fell to the ground.

After the Qin infantry who had just been so relaxed and comfortable arrived, they didn't care whether the enemy soldiers on the ground were dead or not. They just cooperated with one to stab with a spear, then another to cut off the head, and the third to pull out and shoot.

The arrow enters the body. The other two people are responsible for the surrounding vigilance.

Screams sounded again on the battlefield.

This time, it was the injured Xiongnu soldiers who tried to pretend to be dead to escape. They thought they could wait until the next wave of attacks came before retreating, but they did not expect that the Qin army would kill so ruthlessly, which made them unwilling to do so.

The most unfortunate one on the battlefield.

——.

"What's the sound?" Xubuhun, King of Youguli, who was in the rear of the Huns and commanded the battle with great satisfaction, finally heard the familiar screams and screams in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. Most of the two thousand elite cavalry of our army who rushed into the battle were shot dead by the Qin people. Only more than three hundred cavalry escaped. What should we do?" Before Xu Buhun could react, a man with his whole body came out.

The bloody Hun captain stumbled back.

"Everyone is dead, why did you come back?" Xubuhun roared angrily, pulled out his sharp sword and chopped off the head of the timid captain.

Blood gushes from the headless cavity.

After spraying for a while, the lifeless body suddenly fell down.

"The Huns have only warriors, not cowards. The Qin thieves have crossbows. Our strong horses, come here, besiege me on all sides. I will not stop until the Qin formation is broken." Xu Buhun, whose eyes were red with blood, shouted and waved his hand.

With the bloody sword in his hand, he commanded the Hun cavalry to rush forward one after another.

Human life is sometimes the least valuable thing.

In the face of glory, not to mention the lives of one or two people, or the lives of hundreds or thousands of people, are just a series of numbers in the eyes of Hun nobles like Subhun.

The Qin army's crossbows were very powerful.

However, crossbow arrows are limited. Similarly, after multiple consecutive rounds of firing, the machine crossbow will also suffer mechanical failures such as scratches and damage. According to common sense, Xu Buhun, who inferred the Qin army's continued combat power, decided to use round after round.
