The Qin people are coming!
"impossible!"
"Most of the Qin people's troops are infantry. They can only walk thirty or forty miles a day on the grassland. This does not include the time they spend cleaning up the battlefield and dealing with the wounded after the battle."
"How could the Qin people come to Helan so quickly? Could they still fly here like birds?"
The eyes of Xumi Xihou were wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's the cavalry of the Qin Army! Their infantry has not been found yet. Several other ten thousand commanders have already gathered their troops to resist. I am here to report to the noble lady and the Marquis of Xi."
Wan Chang Qikeda hurriedly replied, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Sujiasha's pretty face was cold and she whispered: "This Qin general is so brave. He dares to send his cavalry to Helan alone to attack us. Aren't you afraid that we will take advantage of the situation and swallow up their cavalry?"
As Sujatha said, the reason why the Yuezhi people did not consider the Qin army to send cavalry to raid was because the difference in the number of cavalry between the two sides was too big.
In their estimation, the Qin army had about 20,000 cavalry before. After the war, only more than 10,000 cavalry could be dispatched.
On the Yuezhi side, Sugasha brought back nearly 10,000 Kuishang cavalry, and Lajiagu brought back more than 10,000 cavalry gathered along the way. In addition, people from the Shuangmi tribe who came to join them one after another, Kushan and The total number of Shuangmi and Shuangmi is close to 30,000.
Xiumi Xihou originally had 30,000 cavalry, but when he attacked the Qin army's chariot formation, about 2,000 of them died. Now there are still about 28,000 cavalry in the Helan Grassland.
This adds up to nearly 60,000 cavalry. In addition, tens of thousands of Kushan tribe members are also here.
Although most of these people are old and weak, women and children, among the grassland people, women can also shoot bows and arrows, and young men can also shoot birds with bows, so they can be considered effective in a real fight.
The Qin army only sent more than 10,000 cavalry, but they dared to attack the Yuezhi people, who numbered about 100,000. This was simply audacious!
"Very good, we will eat the Qin cavalry in Helan. Then they will only have infantry left. The advantage lies in our hands. From now on, it is up to us to decide whether to go or attack."
Xiu Mihou reacted and strode out. He also wanted to mobilize the warriors of Xiu Mi's tribe to besiege the Qin army's cavalry.
"You lead people to protect Darasu first."
Sujatha asked Chikeda to protect her younger brother who had just assumed the post of Marquis of Xi. She then walked out of the tent with a cold face.
There are about 100,000 Yueshi people on the Helan grassland, and the Qin army only has more than 10,000 cavalry.
But Sugatha always had a bad feeling in her heart.
Judging from her thoughts during this period, it seemed that the Qin general never fought an uncertain battle.
After walking outside the tent, Sugatha saw smoke and dust flying in the distance, and there were screams and fears everywhere.
At the foot of Helan Mountain, on the lush grassland, a black cavalry army was marching straight in.
"The horseshoe made by the general is indeed a sacred object!"
"We have come for a long-distance attack. With the protection of this thing, the hoofs of the war horses are not too worn. The horses' endurance has been greatly increased. After arriving at Helan, they still have the power to charge into battle!"
The cavalry general Guo Qing looked excited and cheered to the cavalry under his command.
"The Yuezhi nobles are stationed near the shallow stream ahead. Capture Lajiagu first! Then capture Sugasha, defeat the Yuezhi, and wipe out the Huyi!"
"Great Qin Cavalry, march forward indomitably!"
The cavalry general Guo Qing raised his arms and shouted, and tens of thousands of cavalry behind him echoed loudly.
"Great Qin Cavalry, march forward indomitably!"
The black iron cavalry turned into a rolling torrent and ran towards the direction of the Yuezhi nobles, engulfing all the Yuezhi herdsmen they met along the way.
Before the attack, Guishuang Jihou and other prisoners had already explained the distribution of the camps of the Yuezhi people when they were stationed, so that the Qin army could understand where the camps of the Yuezhi nobles were generally stationed.
This is why the general dared to send more than ten thousand of their cavalry to raid the Helan Grassland.
Capture the thief first and capture the king!
So what if your Yuezhi has 100,000 people in the Helan Grassland.
Facing the Qin army's sudden attack, the Yuezhi people had no time to gather an army to resist. This was a huge advantage for the Qin army.
The Qin army wanted to seize this moment, rush straight to the Yuezhi nobles, and capture and kill their leaders. Even if they could not catch them, they would still pursue them all the way to prevent the other party from having the opportunity to command the army.
Without the leadership of their leader, the people of the grassland are nothing but a mass of scattered sand, with nothing to fear.
Sure enough, because the Qin army rushed too fast and came too suddenly, the Yuezhi cavalry and herdsmen they encountered along the way were driven to death before they had time to report the news. As a result, the Yuezhi army on the Helan grassland was unprepared and was caught off guard. .
When the Yuezhi herdsmen saw the black-armored cavalry coming to kill them, they screamed and fled in all directions.
The Qin army's cavalry did not pursue them, they just followed the vanguard straight to where the Yuezhi nobles were.
It was not until the Qin army broke into the center of the Helan Grassland and was only ten miles away from the Jihou camp that they encountered resistance from the Yuezhi cavalry.
"Stop the Qin people!"
Under the temporary call of tens of thousands of soldiers, almost five or six thousand cavalry gathered in a short time to block the front of the Qin army.
It will take time for more Yueshi armies to gather.
Because the Qin army came so fast and was in a state of charge, the gathered Yuezhi people had no time to fire their arrows and could only shout and charge towards the Qin army with wooden spears or short swords in their hands.
"Hahaha, you're good to go. Nai Gong is going to chop off all the dog heads of you Yuezhi people today!"
Fan Kuai rode forward and rushed forward.
When he saw the Yuezhi cavalry rushing towards them, he was not angry but happy, waving the horse in his hand to greet them.
A stab, a pick, a swing.
There were Yueshi cavalrymen who screamed and fell off their horses.
Behind him, iron hooves sounded on the Helan grassland, and the black-armored Qin cavalry rushed straight into the Yuezhi cavalry formation.
The Qin cavalry had high bridge saddles, stirrups, sharp metal weapons, light and defensive leather armor, and more than twice the number of Yuezhi people in front.
There is even more indomitable momentum and fighting spirit.
Under such circumstances, how could the Yuezhi people, who had gathered temporarily and were still a little confused, be able to stop them? They just met each other and were broken by the Qin army.
There was even Wan Chang of the Yuezhi who couldn't dodge and was killed by the Qin army on the spot.
The bravery of the Qin army made these Yuezhi people extremely afraid. Some even whispered in fear: "Heavenly soldiers!"
"They are the army of the gods!"
But compared to the fear of the Qin army.
What happened next made the Yuezhi people of the Kushan tribe even more shocked.
At the end of the Qin army's cavalry, surrounded by a horse in the middle, sat a middle-aged man wearing a dirty red robe and a golden crown.
He shouted loudly in the Yuezhi language: "I am Odojia, the Marquis of Guishuang. I have reached an agreement with the generals of Qin. Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who put down their weapons will not be killed! Pass my order, and the Kushan people will not be killed." Resist the Qin army!"
"Marquis Xi sends an order not to be an enemy of the Qin army!"
The Yuezhi prisoners who were brought by the Qin army also opened their voices and roared loudly.
It’s the voice of the Marquis of Guishuang!
Their lord is back!
It gave the people of the Guishan Yuezhi a chance to survive from the Qin army.
The tribes of the Yuezhi are ruled by Marquis Xi, and Marquis Xi of Guishuang is their king!
Now the Marquis of Guishuang came back and ordered them not to become enemies of the Qin army.
This made those Yuezhi people who were frightened by the Qin army completely lose their will to fight.
Some people threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Qin army.
Some people fled in all directions, and the news that Guishan Jihou came with the Qin army and told the Guishan people not to resist spread throughout the country.
The Yuezhi people on the entire Helan grassland were completely scattered.
