The fighting spirit of the Yuezhi people was shattered.
They are not a professional army at all. They are herdsmen in peacetime. In wartime, they mount their horses to fight against the enemy. In a war, they will advance if it is favorable and retreat if it is unfavorable.
They besieged the chariots and killed thousands of people. The morale of the army was already unstable and everyone was afraid.
Facing the return reinforcements of the Qin army's cavalry, Guishan Jihou sent out a superior number of cavalry to fight, but the result was a complete defeat.
They were defeated by the Qin people in the cavalry battle that they were best at. No Yuezhi people could muster the courage to fight again.
Qin people, it turns out they are not sheep raised in captivity!
They are actually wolves in sheep's clothing!
Seeing that something was wrong, many Yueshi people thought of running away.
At this time, the Qin army infantry in the chariot formation moved away the Wugang chariot covered with flesh and blood, and rushed out with the spears, beryllium swords and halberds in their hands.
"Kill these barbarians!"
"Promotion and meritorious service!"
Seeing the reinforcements arriving and the Yueshi being defeated, the Qin people howled and charged, completely releasing the anger they had been holding in their hearts for a long time.
At the same time, after the Yuezhi cavalry was defeated in the distance, many Qin cavalry rushed towards the rescue.
The Qin army's cavalry and infantry in the chariot formation attacked from both inside and outside.
The Yuezhi cavalry, who had lost their fighting spirit, could not hold on any longer. No one listened to the calls of the leaders of the tribes, and they all fled on horseback, just wanting to survive.
"Failed?"
Guishuang Jihou's eyes were a little dull. His cavalry was defeated too quickly, beyond expectation, which made him still a little unbelievable.
It wasn't until the confidants beside him urged him to escape quickly, and when he saw hundreds of Qin army cavalry rushing towards him from a distance, that the Marquis of Guishuang suddenly woke up.
"Catch that red-robed and golden-crowned Marquis of Yuezhi!"
The leading Qin man was tall and tall, and his shout was like thunder. His eyes widened, and a fierce aura rushed towards his face.
The Yuezhi cavalry guarding the Marquis of Ji came forward to block it. The Qin man shouted loudly and used the horse stick in his hand as a stick, waving it left and right. The Yuezhi cavalry who came up could not dodge and were hit by this huge force. , they all screamed and fell to the ground.
"Block him! Block him quickly!"
The Marquis of Guishuang shouted and asked the guards around him to step forward to stop him. He turned around on his horse and ran away.
Only then did he realize that his daughter Sugasha and even his son Lajiagu had long disappeared. Looking up, there were Yuezhi people running away everywhere.
No matter how much he screamed, he could not stop the army from collapsing.
"Trash, why are you running away!"
"We still have 40,000 riders! I still have a chance to win!"
The Marquis of Guishuang shouted loudly.
This time, the 70,000 Yuezhi cavalry who attacked the Qin army's grain team. In addition to the 30,000 people who were defeated, there were also 10,000 tribesmen who were besieging other chariot formations. In the other direction, there were 30,000 people from Xiumi Xihou. .
The two places combined have 40,000 cavalry. Although the Qin army's cavalry is powerful, it only has more than 10,000 people. It is impossible for one to fight four, right?
Gathering 40,000 cavalry to fight back, and after devouring the Qin cavalry, and then charging into the Qin cavalry formation, he still has a chance to win!
At this time, Guishuang Xihou still did not give up.
He wants to win, and he thinks he still has a chance.
After suffering a big defeat today, if he retreats, not only will the Kushan tribe's vitality be greatly damaged, but the prestige of the Kushan Jihou on the grassland will fall to the lowest point.
By then, let alone joining forces with various tribes to plot to seize the throne of the Yuezhi, I am afraid that even the tribes under him will no longer be convinced by him.
On the grassland, the strong are always respected and the weak are despised.
Therefore, the Marquis of Guishuang has to rely on 30,000 people from the Xiumi tribe, plus 10,000 tribesmen from another place, and 40,000 cavalry to join forces, not to mention burning the Qin army's baggage, as long as he can launch a beautiful counterattack , and defeated the Qin army's 10,000 cavalry, then his prestige could still be maintained.
There is still a chance to make a profit. As long as there is a chance, Guishuang Jihou will fight for it.
But when Guishuang Jihou ran to another Qin army's grain convoy formation with the cover of his personal guards, the scene he saw shocked him.
He didn't see 10,000 cavalry, only horse excrement on the ground, and the fully armed Qin army infantry who were pushing back the carriage barriers and walking out of it.
The people of the grassland will retreat when they see disadvantages.
There were probably 10,000 cavalry here. After receiving the news that the main force was defeated, they made a prompt decision and retreated quickly, not even caring about their own Xihou.
At this time, seeing the Yuezhi cavalry coming, the Qin army infantry coming out of the car base immediately came towards this side. They were holding crossbows in their hands, and it seemed that they were going to fire a shot at Guishuang Jihou after entering the shooting range.
Not only did these Qin infantry discover them, but there was also the sound of horse hoofbeats coming from behind. When Guishuang Jihou looked back, he was so frightened that his souls scattered.
It turned out that it was the burly Qin Army cavalry just now who led more than ten cavalrymen to defeat his personal guards and chased him again.
"Marquis Yuezhi, you are mine!"
The voice of the Qin Army knight was so loud that it could reach the ears of Guishuang Jihou from a long distance away. Although he couldn't understand the meaning, he could probably guess it.
"Go to the Secret Department!"
The Marquis of Guishuang screamed and immediately galloped wildly. There were still about thirty personal guards following him.
Although the Yuezhi people were more numerous than the chasing Qin cavalry, no one had the will to fight.
At this moment, when they saw the Qin army's cavalry chasing after them, they all turned pale with fright and followed the Guishuang Jihou on horseback.
"No matter where you go, I will get you!"
The loud voices of the Qin people sounded from behind. Guishuang Jihou buried his head in riding his horse, hoping that the 30,000 people of Xiumi Jihou had not left.
At this time, he did not expect to be able to make a comeback. He only thought about successfully escaping alive with the help of the 30,000 people from the Xiu Mi Department.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
When the Marquis of Guishuang fled in embarrassment to the Qin army's chariot formation that had just been attacked by the Xiu Mi troops, all he saw were the corpses of men and horses, and the Qin army's infantry who were reorganizing the army.
Seeing the arrival of these thirty Yuezhi people, the Qin infantry immediately blocked the road in front of them under the command of the military officials, holding bows, crossbows, spears and halberds.
The Marquis of Guishuang was in despair.
It turns out that his ally had already run away with him!
"Hahaha, let's see where you can run to now!"
Another loud shout from the Qin people came from behind.
The Marquis of Guishuang looked back and saw the burly Qin Army knight riding towards him with bright eyes.
The Yuezhi people's front and sides were either blocked by Qin infantry or within the range of Qin's crossbows. If they wanted to escape alive, they had to turn back and kill more than ten cavalry who were chasing them.
"They only have a dozen cavalrymen, and we have thirty more, twice as many as they do!"
"Warriors of the Yuezhi, kill these Qin people and we can return to Helan!"
The Marquis of Guishuang raised his arms and shouted to encourage his cavalry.
"Kill them!"
"Come on!"
In a desperate situation, the thirty Yuezhi riders gathered their courage again, turned their horses, and charged towards the ten or so riders with the bronze swords and short spears in their hands.
"Well done!"
When Fan Kuai saw the Yuezhi people shouting to kill, a cunning look flashed in his eyes.
He raised the crossbow that had been strung up on his horse and fired an arrow at the Yuezhi cavalry directly in front.
The crossbow string sounded, and the Yuezhi cavalry screamed and fell off their horses.
Fan Kuai laughed loudly at this time, stepped forward with his spear in hand, and charged with his horse.
The more than ten cavalrymen behind him also followed the same example, shooting randomly with their bows and crossbows, and then charged in with their weapons.
Although the Yuezhi cavalry were large in number, their combat effectiveness and fighting courage were far inferior to that of the Qin cavalry. Half of them were killed in just a few moments.
"I'll fight you!"
The Marquis of Guishuang saw that he was in trouble today, and the fierceness in his body also increased. He drew out his gorgeous long sword inlaid with gems and galloped forward.
"Well done!"
Fan Kuai was about to stab the Yuezhi cavalry with his horse. When he saw Guishuang Jihou rushing towards him, he immediately stepped forward.
The horse in his hand is eight feet long, more than four meters long.
The long sword in the hand of Guishuang Jihou is less than one meter.
Fan Kuai did not use the assassination method. He swept the horse in his hand and knocked Guishuang Jihou off his horse.
An inch long, an inch strong.
This is the royal way of horse fighting.
"This should not be my ending. I am a man who wants to be the king."
The Marquis of Guishuang fell to the ground, gritting his teeth and trying to get up.
Then, a foot kicked him hard on the back, knocking him down again.
Fan Kuai looked at the Yuezhi man in red robe and golden crown at his feet and grinned.
"Hey, I caught you."
The battle is over.
And he, Fan Kuai, also caught the biggest prey.
