"The Shuangmi tribe was defeated?"
"The Qin army is coming to kill?"
The sound of the scout shouting caused a commotion.
Guishuang Jihou's face was full of astonishment, showing an incredible expression.
The 20,000 cavalrymen under the Marquis Shuangmixi moved like the wind on the grassland. They were not performing a duel mission. They only needed to lure away the main force of the Qin army, constantly harass them, and hold the Qin people back. How could they fail? And Still a huge defeat.
"Is it possible that Marquis Shuangmixi had horse urine in his head and couldn't think of going to fight with the main force of the Qin army?"
The Marquis of Guishuang just thought about it in his mind and stopped thinking about it.
The large approaching black shadow on the grassland in the distance said it all.
It is no longer important how the 20,000 people of Shuangmixihou were defeated. What is important is that they have been defeated. The Qin army's cavalry is rushing to support the rear army and is almost approaching them. This battle has entered a new stage.
"Father, the Qin Army's chariot formation here was difficult to capture for a while, and their cavalry rushed back to help. The Qin Army's main infantry must also be on the way. We'd better withdraw first and wait until later to find a solution."
Sujatha spoke anxiously. She was keenly aware of the crisis, and for the third time in this battle she advised Guishuang Jihou to retreat and preserve the strength of the tribe.
"Shut up!"
What responded to her was the roar of the Marquis of Guishuang.
He was close to madness at this moment.
In Guishang Jihou's original vision, the Qin army's grain teams were all unarmed farmers. Even if there were some armored soldiers and cavalry guards, they were definitely not many in number and could not withstand the 70,000 Yuezhi cavalry. of assault.
They only need to defeat the Qin Army's grain team, kill them, burn the Qin Army's grain and grass, loot and run away.
Then they can just sit back and wait for the Qin army, which has lost its food and supplies, to fall into chaos due to lack of food on the grassland, and eventually collapse without a fight.
At this time, Guishuang Jihou could lead the Yuezhi army out, hunt down the defeated Qin army, seize the Qin army's weapons and equipment, capture a large number of Qin people as slaves, and easily win the war.
The plan was perfect and the beginning went smoothly, but the process was completely different from what he had imagined.
First, the Qin army's food team responded quickly and formed a car formation before the Yuezhi cavalry arrived.
They relied on the solid chariot wall cover, strong bows, powerful crossbows, and spears with beryllium lengths, and cooperated from both near and far. The Yuezhi army did not win the victory after thousands of casualties. Instead, they fell into the situation of riding a tiger and being unable to dismount.
Immediately afterwards, the Qin army's cavalry, who had been led away by the Shuangmi tribe, came to rescue them, further worsening the situation of the Yuezhi people.
"It is an urgent moment for our warriors to attack the Qin army's chariot formation. Ordering a retreat at this time will definitely cause chaos. Then the Qin people's cavalry will rush over and kill them. This battle will be a complete failure."
"So the situation at hand cannot be evacuated!"
As the leader of a unit, Guishuang Jihou is experienced in battles and has basic judgment.
Under the current circumstances, once he orders a retreat, given the temperament of the Yuezhi people, they will definitely end up defeated.
The returning Qin troops were all cavalry and were very fast. Seeing the Yueshi retreating, they would surely catch up and kill them.
In that case, the future of the Kushan tribe would be over.
"The Qin army is said to be cavalry, but except for a very small number of soldiers, they are actually infantry on horseback. The weapons and armor they wear are better. In a head-on battle on the grassland, their equestrian skills are no match for our Yuezhi warriors."
"The more than 10,000 Qin army cavalry abandoned their main infantry, and they actually put themselves in danger. I don't need to be afraid of them at all. I can just swallow them in one bite and then retreat calmly. Even defeat them with the help of The momentum shocked the Qin army's food team in the car formation and took the opportunity to break through the car formation. In this way, I still won!"
The eyes of Guishuang Jihou were bulging. At this time, he was still thinking about any hope of breaking through the car formation.
"Send my personal guards up, fifteen thousand cavalry, enough to defeat this Qin army cavalry!"
The Yue clan's 70,000 troops and the Xiumi tribe's 30,000 troops were besieging other chariot formations in the other direction.
In addition to the 10,000 people of the Kushan tribe who were besieging other car formations, the remaining 30,000 cavalry were transferred here.
Aside from the thousands of casualties, they still had more than 20,000 cavalry. If they squeezed in, they could still find some men to fight.
According to visual inspection, the Qin army's cavalry who rushed back to support should have about 12,000 to 3,000 people, which was fewer than the Yuezhi cavalry who faced the battle. They were no match for the horse's combat power.
Therefore, the Yuezhi cavalry has a great chance of winning.
At the command of Marquis Xi, 15,000 Yuezhi cavalry were mobilized from the siege.
Many Yuezhi people breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with attacking the Qin army's strong chariot formation, it was undoubtedly much more enjoyable to fight with the Qin cavalry on the grassland, and the winning rate was much higher.
"Come on!"
"Let these Qin people know what a real cavalry is!"
The Yuezhi people shouted, and all the fifteen thousand cavalrymen ran wildly towards the Qin army's cavalry.
A goshawk hovered in the sky, its sharp eagle eyes surveying the scene on the grassland below.
From the northeast and southwest, a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people approached each other, like two torrents coming from two directions and about to collide.
"Hahaha, what a group of Yuezhi people, just right for Nai Gong to kill!"
Fan Kuai laughed loudly, saliva flying from his mouth, and stared straight at the oncoming Yuezhi people in the distance.
Compared with the previous battle, he had taken off his heavy armor now, and the horse he was riding was not armored, but this did not hinder his full fighting spirit.
The former dog-slaughterer in Peixian County didn't realize how pleasurable it was to kill someone until he went to the battlefield.
In particular, the people Fan Kuai killed were all foreign barbarians, and all he did was to fight for the country and win glory for the Xia.
This made all the blood in his body tremble. When he heard the general ordered the cavalry to return to support the food team, Fan Kuai immediately asked for a fight, took off his heavy armor, and returned with more than 10,000 cavalry, just to fight these barbarians again. field.
The cavalry of the two armies are approaching and are about to start a duel to see who is the real king of the grassland.
The Yuezhi people are people on horseback. They rode sheep when they were young, and rode horses when they grew up. They can eat, drink, and poop on horseback. Their equestrian skills are far superior to those of the farming people within the Great Wall.
They are very proud and believe that the winner of this cavalry duel can only be them!
But when the two armies approached, they were shocked, because the Qin army knights at the front actually let go of their reins with both hands, holding weapons in their hands, and sprinted towards them.
You must know that most Yuezhi people would not dare to do such a difficult action.
Let go of your hands, how can you use your strength?
How to ensure that you won’t be thrown off by a galloping horse?
Are all the Qin troops masters of horse fighting?
These questions lingered in the minds of the Yuezhi people, and their eyes fell on the strange saddles riding on the Qin army's cavalry.
But before they had time to think, the cavalry of the two armies collided and a real cavalry showdown began.
"kill!"
Fan Kuai roared angrily as he passed by the Yuezhi cavalry. He stabbed one of them with the horse spear in his hand and quickly pulled it out at the same time.
He lowered his head and turned sideways to avoid the short spear attack of the Yue Yue clan cavalry. At the same time, he swept the horse spear in his hand left and right, knocking off the Yue Yue clan people in front of him.
One by one, he assassinated one person and knocked down two others. However, Fan Kuai himself was still sitting firmly on the horse with the help of the high bridge saddle and stirrups.
"Kill with pleasure!"
Amidst Fan Kuai's hearty sound, thousands of Qin cavalry fought with the Yuezhi cavalry with indomitable momentum.
Nearly 30,000 cavalry collided and fought with each other on the grassland, which would normally last for a long time. However, the cavalry duel between the Qin army and the Yuezhi people soon became one-sided.
With the support of high bridge saddles and stirrups, the Qin army's cavalry could barely compare with the Yuezhi people in equestrian skills and would not be seriously suppressed.
In this situation where the horse battle can be fair, the Qin army's equipment showed a very great advantage.
Every Qin army cavalry wears thick leather armor. Even if they are chopped by the Yuezhi people with short spears or bronze swords, as long as they are not hit in any vital parts, they will only suffer some skin injuries, which is not serious. hinder.
Except for the most elite Jihou personal guards, the Yuezhi people were all ordinary herdsmen. Few of them were able to wear armor. When they were hit by weapons in the hands of the Qin army's cavalry, they suffered very heavy injuries.
At the same time, high-bridge saddles and stirrups can prevent cavalry from falling off their horses due to the force of impact during collisions and fights.
After a charge, many Yuezhi people were knocked off their horses, but the Qin army's cavalry was very few. This was all due to the equipment.
This is a crushing attack on weapons and equipment.
It is a technological dimensionality reduction attack.
It is a financial competition between the rich Qin army and the poor Yuezhi.
Under such circumstances, the Yuezhi people could not even exchange one for another. It was not long before they were beaten to the point of peeing and began to collapse.
"How could this happen? My Yuezhi warriors were defeated by the Qin people on horseback? Aren't the Qin people farming people?"
The Marquis of Guishuang looked at this scene from a distance and was dumbfounded. This result once again exceeded his expectations.
Next to her, Sugatha did not give any more advice. She pulled her horse and immediately ran in the opposite direction with some personal guards.
"Yue Zhi, defeated."
Not only her, but the 15,000 cavalry sent out to fight were killed by Qin's cavalry, and the rest fled in all directions.
The situation on the entire battlefield has been completely clear.
In the Qin army's chariot formation surrounded by Wu Gang's chariots, the general Wang Li looked excited.
"The general's cavalry is indeed powerful. We won this battle."
Without hesitation, Wang Li seized the opportunity and immediately ordered: "Move the car base, we will fight out, kill the barbarians, and be honored with meritorious service!"
"Kill the barbarians and earn meritorious service!"
In the chariot formation, the soldiers of Qin Army, who had been besieged by the Yuezhi people for several hours, had already held their breath.
At this moment, seeing the reinforcements' victory, everyone was extremely excited. They moved the car base and killed the shocked Yuezhi people outside.
In another direction, Fan Kuai, who was leading a group of cavalry to fight out of the rebel army, fixed his eyes on the middle-aged man in a red robe and a golden crown in the distance.
Yuezhi Xihou!
This is his Fan Kuai's prey!
Looking at Fan Kuai's information, I feel that this man is so fierce. He was all beheaded first, and the Han army's military strength was at its peak.
