Chapter 375 Zhai Sangbo Battle (1)
In the eighth year of the Xinli period of Qin Dynasty, January.
One thousand three hundred Qin soldiers from the Qiang in Hexi joined the Aries tribe and fought against more than 10,000 light cavalrymen from the Great Khan of the Xiongnu, Maodun.
It's a service.
There were nearly 30,000 warriors dispatched by the Aries Tribe Alliance. In addition to more than 10,000 people from the affiliated tribes, Jin Xi also dispatched all males over 15 years old in the Aries tribe. Even the elderly over 50 years old were mobilized to serve as the reserve team for the entire team.
Maodun's bloody massacre has told the attitude of the Huns. This is a battle that determines the survival of the tribe. It is either life or death, and there is no third way to go. As for becoming the Que clan and being Maodun's woman, Jin Xi never even thought about how could a person like Maodun who could even shoot his own father as a trusted man?
What's more, since he decided to learn witchcraft from the witch god, Jin Xi has secretly made a vow that he would never get married in his life and would not let any man dirty his body.
The snow-covered lakeside ground.
The hard yellow earth-yellow color is only mixed in white, like mottled ugly little chandeliers, leaning out of the hole with their heads and brains, preparing to explore the unknown world outside.
At noon, the Huns' cavalry began to appear on the snow line, and the scouts from both sides ran back and forth, competing with each other for archery.
Bai Guangji wore a hood on his head, and the brim was pulled down a lot, leaving only a pair of black eyes exposed outside. The skin sewn by the yellow wolf skin tightly wrapped around his body, and a strong smell of smoked skin penetrated into his nose. Making clothes with animal fur is a necessary equipment for grassland people to keep warm during the winter. At the same time, the yellow wolf is cruel by nature. Its fur is quite tough, and it is difficult for ordinary copper swords and copper clusters to pierce it.
At his waist, abdomen and thighs, there were several whistle-shaped whistles with arrow feathers hanging diagonally. This was the standard equipment for men on the grassland. They advocated bows and arrows and were accurate in shooting. In addition to these, there was also a curved spear made of iron on the head. The body of the spear is hard poplar. At the handle of the spear, there is also a silk-shaped handshake, which can strengthen friction to the maximum extent to prevent the tiger's mouth from shaking and causing the weapon to lose its hands.
Production from Jinyang Bing of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Mo Shi, who was descended from Ou Yezi and ranked first among the craftsmen, took six months. This spear, carefully forged, is one of the best new Qin army weapons produced by the same batch.
spear.
It is an offensive weapon used for assassination. Its main function is to stab and prick. The spearhead is generally more than two feet long, flat, and has blades on both sides. The tip of the spear was made into a swim snake shape by Moshi, in order to increase the depth of assassination, increase the difficulty of wound healing, and give the enemy fatal damage.
The snake tongue spits out his faith, and the sting is immediately rushed.
Li Yuan, who was familiar with the history of the development of cold weapons, ordered the first time he saw the batch of new iron weapons sent by Bing Zao to equipment important generals like Bai Guangji under his command.
Good weapon.
It can double the force and increase self-confidence much.
A trusted and respected general like Bai Guangji is the most trusted general Li Yuan relies on, so of course no mistakes are allowed.
In addition to weapons, the mixed green high-headed and strong horse under Bai Guangji's crotch is also extraordinary.
Faced with the fierce war that was about to come, the horse did not show any tension, but was steaming and was with the mare that was slightly smaller next to it. These two horses were purchased by Bai Guangji from Dayuan vendors when he was passing through the Tianshan Mountains. Although they were not sweat-blooded BMWs, they were much better than the Hetao horses of the Huns in terms of size and footwork.
The Hexi Qiang was sent to the forefront of the confrontation with the Huns this time, which was the price they had to bear. The supplies provided by the Aries tribe would certainly not be given to the boastful cowards. One person and two horses can maintain the strength of the horse's feet at the longest distance, and it also facilitates cavalry to chase or escape from the enemy's pursuit.
Behind Bai Guangji, several young Bai clans looked serious and stared at the Huns team that were getting closer and closer and clearer.
"Look, the scout of the Huns, hey, why are they defeated again?" A young man screamed and pointed his finger at the front of the battle. There, dozens of scouts from the two armies were competing with riding skills, archery skills, patience and courage.
A scout from the Aries tribe leaned on his horse, leaned back, his head left, and ran towards the depths of the Jaisanbo Lake.
On his back, an arrow only revealed a half-broken feather. If it weren't for the body being tied to the horse, the dying scout would have fallen down immediately.
Obviously, the Aries tribe failed in the competition in scout abilities.
"Hexi Qiang, prepare to fight--!" Bai Guangji shouted coldly and slowly raised the iron spear over his head.
"Fight, fight, fight!" Behind him, hundreds of Hexi Qiang tribe warriors shouted in unison, and for a moment, overwhelmed the disorderly large army behind the Aries tribe.
Under Bai Guangji's order, more than a thousand Qiang cavalry in Hexi began to move forward in a whole team. They arranged one horizontal column after another. Under the command of their respective military marquis and teams, they quickly passed through the vast flat snow and divided them and surrounded them before the Xiongnu scouts came back.
This rigorous cavalry fighting method made Jin Xi, who was watching the battle in the back formation, tightened his eyes, and seemed familiar queues, and there were also cold faces that were almost indistinguishable from his inner thoughts. The past hidden in his memory was awakened in an instant, shocking Jin Xi and the survivors of the Guifang tribe.
"Witch King, are they Qin people?" An elderly elder Gui Fang rubbed his eyes in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice.
Jin Xi was silent and did not answer.
She just stared at the figure at the front of the Hexi Qiang queue, as strong as strong enemies, as if they were ashes. Are the Qin people not afraid of death or gods like this?
——.
Bai Guangji led his army to attack.
At this time, the Xiongnu cavalry had not yet fully arrived at the battlefield. The initial arrival was only a scout team of less than 2,000 people.
What bothers the Huns even more is that the scout team is currently scattered. In order to pursue the scouts of the Aries tribe, they proudly thought that there was no opponent in a flat place. When they saw the Hexi Qiang attack, they made a mistake in judgment and thought that this thousand-man enemy army was just me, and even hundreds of warriors around them could be taken down.
When he was frightened to find that the opponent in front of him was a strong enemy, the Xiongnu scouts had already been trapped in the siege of the Hexi Qiang. In the single-on-one confrontation, the extremely brave Xiongnu scouts were quickly defeated by one after another. When their precise shooting skills faced a group of enemies that were rushing towards him like Mount Tai, they could hardly exert any advantage.
Shoot an enemy.
So what can it be? In the Hexi Qiang cavalry ranks, one more person or less person has little effect. As long as there is a gap, the soldiers located in the rear will naturally come in.
Moreover, when facing an opponent, you only need to focus on one direction and face a group of enemies. Even if you have Fire Eye Venus, you cannot take care of the plot from all directions.
Accurate judgment ability.
Outstanding collective combat plan.
These excellent genes inherited from the Qin system were also transmitted to the soldiers of the Hexi Qiang. Although they had only received some simple training, as long as they had the team leader, the soul of this team was there. As long as there was a general alive, the team would not collapse.
In just half an hour, when Maodun got the news and led the Central Army brigade to fly over, Bai Guangji had already ended an efficient demonstration battle of encirclement and annihilation.
Most of the Huns scouts have been wiped out.
The remaining hundred lucky people were lying on the horse's back. They ran desperately without raising their heads. Even the Huns Qianchang, who claimed to be enemies of thousands, were also shrunk among the fugitives.
"A coward who has no courage, still has the face to come back?" Mao Dun was furious and whipped the face of the Huns' escape generals with a fierce whip. Suddenly, a ferocious blood mark suddenly broke out.
"Da Shanyu, I——, spare my life." The Xiongnu Qianchang was sobbed that he was lying on the side of the horse, almost falling down. However, after seeing Maodun's angry expression, he immediately begged.
"The dignity of the Great Huns was lost by you cowards. The person who came cut off his head and destroyed it together with his tribe." Maodun shouted coldly.
Kill the generals at the last minute.
It was a taboo on the battlefield, but Maodun didn't need to worry about these things.
The bloody head can make the soldiers under your command even more crazy and bloodthirsty, and can make the generals tremble and no longer have the selfish desire to preserve their strength.
The Huns took tribes as units, and each tribe was sent to troops. Once they failed, the tribe would lose the opportunity to advance and gain benefits in competition. It was precisely because of this cruel and ruthless competition that the Huns had the opportunity to grow and dominate in the survival competition on the grassland.
——.
The Hexi Qiang Banner opened and won the victory.
Morale of the Aries Tribe Alliance rose sharply.
After seeing Bai Guangji make a name for himself, the leaders of various tribes who were unwilling to fall behind were eager to try and began to ask for orders to attack.
On the Huns, Maodun no longer held back and directly ordered the entire army to attack, and a great melee between two grassland ethnic groups began.
From afternoon to dusk.
The battle between the grassland warriors has never stopped. The young athletes of the Aries tribe shouted and rushed towards the Huns with more combat experience with their blood. One companion after another fell down the horse, not discouraging them. On the contrary, every time they stabbed Liya into the chest of the Huns' opponents, these young people felt exciting and happy.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The witch king Jinxi, wearing a light blue troop, climbed up to the high place on the lakeside without turning around, looking down at the already chaotic battlefield, and shouting from time to time came from all directions, the whine of the injured war horses and the heavy and rapid sound of horse hooves made her feel dazzling.
However, as time passed, the aura of the young people of the Aries tribe began to fade, and some shaky tribes began to secretly preserve their strength and no longer fight to the death. Their "betrayal" caused those tribal warriors loyal to Jinxi to suffer from the dilemma of being attacked from both sides again and again.
This is war.
Is this the price of resistance?
