Chapter 20 Victory in the first battle

The Di Rong cavalry showed a look of fear in their eyes. They originally thought that the other party would run away and as long as they didn't chase them, they would be fine.

But what they didn't expect was that the other party actually stopped at more than 300 steps, then turned around and took slow steps again and greeted them.

When the war reached this level, how could they not understand the reality of the opponent's light cavalry? The opponent was neither here to attack tentatively nor bait. This was a special force that used special tactics.

This kind of tactic is simply disgusting, but they have no choice. They can see the other party’s tactics at a glance, but... but they can’t do it!

They couldn't even think of why the Qin army could turn around and shoot arrows on the horse's back and keep it stable?

Di Rong was a nomadic people who lived on horseback all their lives. Even they could not do anything, but the Qin army did it, which made them puzzled.

Because the distance is too far, they cannot see the specific devices on the archers' backs, so there is no way to do it.

"What should we do now?" A general asked loudly to other generals.

But no one could answer him. If they rushed forward, the enemy would definitely return to their horses and run away again, and then shoot them with the disgusting tactics when they were chasing them.

No, that is not escaping at all. It was originally a part of this tactic. Eliminating the enemy in movement is the core of this tactic.

But if we escape now, the other party will definitely chase their butts and ejaculate, but there is no way. If we run, we will lose some soldiers. But if we don’t run, we might all be here.

"Retreat, retreat, withdraw to the infantry shield formation." Seeing that the enemy was about to enter the range again, the generals of Di Rong finally couldn't bear the pressure and shouted wildly.

No one hesitated, and Di Rong cavalry turned their horses and retreated one after another. Yang Yifei shouted when Di Rong cavalry turned around and said, "Chasing at full speed."

"drive……"

The archers knocked their feet against the horse's belly, and the horses accelerated again, and they stepped out and ran wildly. This time the one who escaped became Di Rong cavalry, and the archers were replaced to pursue them.

Since Di Rong's cavalry saw the opportunity quickly this time, they turned around before entering the effective range of the archers. This time, the archers could no longer accurately kill, and could only use projectiles, which would kill as much as they could.

This time the attack was replaced by another team. The people who had shot more than ten arrows before were resting. When they chased the battlefield where the first attack on the Di Rong cavalry, the team was divided into two, and the new force continued to pursue, but the other team slowed down and gradually stopped.

It was not until Di Rong's cavalry and the chasing cavalry disappeared on the horizon that they dismounted one after another, first picked up a Di Rong's sling on the ground and finished the attack one by one.

After all, if the person who was shot in the arrow was not killed, he would not die for a while, so when they cleaned the battlefield, they usually finish the fight first.

First, for their own safety, and second, it is also to give the other party a pleasure. After being shot, even if the arrow is not a vital point, excessive blood loss and wound infection will kill them. It is better to give it a pleasure directly, so that you can suffer less.

So some people say that after ancient soldiers were defeated on the battlefield, they did not pretend to die in order to save their lives. This is the reason. Pretending to die cannot save their lives, and will only make themselves die in great distress.

The archers were divided into two groups, one group was responsible for the final blow, and the other group started to harvest the heads with quick movements. The war horses left by the Dirong cavalry naturally became their spoils.

...

Yang Yifei led a thousand archers and cavalry to continue chasing them, and Di Rong's cavalry did not dare to stop, nor did he dare to turn his horse's head and kill him back.

Because they knew that if they turned around, the other party would definitely turn around, and then they would fall into their own pursuit again, but they would die all of their own people.

They ran out four or five miles in one breath and finally saw the infantry array. A joy of surviving the disaster filled the hearts of the Dirong cavalrymen.

At this time, the 10,000 light cavalry that Di Rong attacked was less than 5,000, which was more than half of them lost. The Qin archers and cavalrymen were only losing more than 20,000 arrows.

General Di Rong, who was leading the infantry there, was stunned when he saw that the one who was chased like a stray dog, was actually ten thousand cavalrymen on his own.

Didn’t it mean that the enemy only had two thousand cavalry? Is the Qin army really so powerful? It was able to defeat ten thousand of them with two thousand soldiers?

The Di Rong generals began to get nervous. Is it right or wrong for them to invade Qin to plunder resources?

They feared the brutality of the Huns. In addition, the Huns themselves lack resources and have no value for invasion, so they chose to attack the Qin Empire, which is the same appearance, rich resources, and seems to be easier to mess with than the Huns.

But now it seems that Qin State is even worse than the Huns! Although they are neither barbaric nor cruel, their combat effectiveness...at least the Huns are absolutely unable to do it, and they defeated their ten thousand cavalry with two thousand soldiers.

After the Di Rong cavalry arrived at the infantry array, they split into two and ran towards the left and right wings of the array. They did not dare to attack the original array, otherwise even if they could save their lives now, they would definitely be cut down in the future.

When Yang Yifei chased after three hundred steps ahead of Di Rong's stance, he ordered to stop, raised the long bow in his hand, and shouted: "Those who offend me, whoever violates my Great Qin will be punished even if they are far away."

"Those who offend my Great Qin will be punished even if they are far away... Those who offend my Great Qin will be punished even if they are far away... Those who offend my Great Qin will be punished even if they are far away..."

A thousand archers raised their bows together and shouted three times. However, with the power of great victory, they shouted out the momentum of thousands of troops, which made General Di Rong's heart tremble secretly.

He had just calculated roughly that there were only half of the cavalry returning, while the opponent's array seemed to be about a thousand people, only half.

Both sides lost half of it, but this half was completely different concepts. One thousand to five thousand, is the Qin army so terrible?

General Di Rong was shocked by the result he calculated. Facing the opponent's only one thousand troops, he even forgot the order to attack. Perhaps... he didn't forget it.

Yang Yifei and his archers showed off their might in front of the Dirong Infantry Formation for a while, then turned his horse's head and trotted away.

After leaving the sight of Di Rong's army and two or three miles away from the enemy's formation, Yang Yifei simply asked the soldiers to dismount and walk slowly with the horses, so that the horses could rest, and at the same time they could also capture the enemy's head.

They were not afraid that Di Rong would catch up again. It would be better to say that they wanted the enemy to catch up. The terrain here was empty and if the enemy caught up, they could see it from a distance.

They can get on the horse calmly, and even wait until the enemy approaches a certain distance before urging the horse to run.

Yang Yifei's two or five hundred masters led his horse to walk beside him and said happily: "General, it's so satisfying to fight like this. Each of his brothers can be divided into at least two heads. After this battle, everyone in my archers will have a title."

Yang Yifei smiled and said, "You are so happy, the enemy is very frustrated."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The soldiers laughed in unison, but their gratitude and respect for Yang Yifei were beyond words. If he hadn't created the horse harness and created the archer and cavalry flying kite fighting technique, they would not have had such a brilliant victory today.

Before one of our own party could be damaged, he captured 5,000 heads of the enemy. This comparison of casualties, let alone seeing them, they had never even heard of it.

The Great Qin Archers will surely leave a brilliant mark in history.
