When the former army discovered the Yuezhi cavalry and pursued them.
The Qin army's grain transport team in the rear also received orders from the general.
The Qin people's rear army began to slowly change formations from a huge long snake. They gathered according to the distance between each other, forming several huge circles. From a distance, they looked like ouroboros.
"Brother, did you say that the Yuezhi people are coming to attack us?"
In a circular formation, Xi Juan asked Wang Ling next to him while unloading goods from the circle of carts.
At this moment, Wang Ling was untying the reins of his horse and preparing to lead it to the inner circle.
Hearing his younger brother's question, he glanced around and said, "It will come. Those Qin Army cavalry and soldiers in front are difficult to fight at first glance. The Yuezhi people are not fools, and they want to go head-to-head with the main force of the Qin Army."
, anyone with a sane mind would know to come and fight the rear army. Think about it, when we fought with people in Peixian County, did we knock down the weak ones first, and then attack the stronger ones on the opposite side?"
When Xi Juan heard it, it was the truth.
He immediately said with a mournful face: "Since we are the weakest, if we are favored by those Yuezhi people, will we become the dead souls of the barbarians? My mother is still waiting for me to go back."
Wang Ling shook his head and looked at the vehicles surrounding him in a circle, thoughtfully.
He is the hero of Peixian County. Although he is not a big shot outside of Peixian County, he has read some books and has seen a lot. Compared with others, he can see some unusual things.
For example, these new vehicles, which Qin Jun called "Wugang vehicles", were completely different from the vehicles he had seen before.
This Wugang chariot is two feet long and one foot four wide. There are spears tied to the outside of the vehicle and a large shield on the inside.
It is usually used to transport grain and baggage, and its function is similar to that of ordinary baggage vehicles. But now it has abandoned transportation, untied the cattle and horses, and gathered them in a circle, and it has completely turned into a fort made of vehicles and carriages.
Wang Ling suddenly trembled when he thought about the countless arrows transported in the convoy and the thousands of armored officers and soldiers hidden in each convoy.
"If the Yuezhi people really open their mouths and bite them, they might break their teeth."
All the grain transport teams were busy gathering the strange-shaped carriages, leading away the horses, unloading the goods.
It didn’t take long before a sentry rider from the periphery who was responsible for patrolling and exploring rushed over and shouted: “The barbarians are coming!”
"The barbarians are coming!"
The Yuezhi people have really arrived.
On the distant horizon, a black shadow appeared, approaching the direction of the Qin army.
Getting closer and closer, like a rushing wave, approaching crazily with a ferocious momentum.
When he got closer, Qin people with good eyesight could see that the wave was composed of figures on horseback.
These people were dressed in beards and had braids on their heads. They held short wooden spears or copper swords in their hands, and their horses carried bows and arrows.
"Humble people of Qin, your great Lord Ji is here."
The Marquis of Guishuang is galloping with galloping horses. He already regards the Qin people in the distance as future tribal slaves.
According to the description in the previous letter from Wushi Luo, as well as the observation by the scouts sent by the Kushan tribe.
Most of the Qin people's rear army were unarmed civilians wearing commoners. They were only responsible for transporting grain and fodder and setting up camps for cooking. They had little combat effectiveness. Although the grain transport team also had some accompanying soldiers and cavalry guards,
The quantity is not too much.
The Qin army's combat effectiveness is mainly concentrated in the front army and the middle army. They maintain a safe distance from the rear army and can quickly return reinforcements when the rear army is attacked.
But now, the smart Marquis of Guishuang used only 20,000 people to lure away the main force of the Qin army in front, causing the main force of the Qin army to be disconnected from the grain transport team in the rear, revealing a big opportunity.
"The general of Qin is just a fool. He was played by me so easily, haha."
"Judging from this situation, Touman of the Xiongnu is even more of a fool. To be successfully attacked by the Qin people is really a disgrace to us grassland people."
The Marquis of Guishuang sneered when he saw the warriors of his tribe roaring up on horseback, circling around and surrounding the Qin army's convoy.
In addition to him, Xiumi Xihou's tribe also came from another direction and besieged several other Qin army chariot formations.
On the grassland, there were people shouting and neighing, and it was very lively.
"It's ridiculous. What's the use of gathering the cars together? When my grassland warriors rush in, there will be a mass killing."
The Marquis of Guishuang was very confident because the Qin army hid behind the barriers formed by the vehicles and did not dare to come out to challenge, which showed their cowardice.
"Father, these tanks of the Qin Army look a little difficult to deal with."
When they approached the car formation, Sujatha, who was following the Marquis of Kushan, frowned and spoke.
The Marquis of Guishuang was startled. After being reminded by his daughter, he carefully looked at the chariots of the Qin army. When he saw the details on the vehicles clearly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Like the Huns, the Yuezhi tribe also has a large number of vehicles used to pull felt tents and supplies for nomadic travel, but most of these vehicles are the simplest flatbed vehicles.
As for chariots, they also have them, but they rarely use them. On the grasslands, chariots are far less useful than cavalry in fighting.
The Qin vehicles in front of me were different. They were surrounded by a circle, with shields erected high on the vehicles and a row of spears placed horizontally below them. Just by looking at them, they felt like they were not easy to mess with.
"Are all Qin people's chariots like this?"
The Marquis of Kushan looked at Sugatha.
This daughter was born to him and a woman from Dawan in the west. She had an unusual talent for language since she was a child.
Sujatha not only learned the language of the Dawan people with her mother, she also liked communicating with businessmen since she was a child, and learned foreign languages such as Xiongnu and Qin in the east.
She had a good understanding of these places through merchants, and she was considered a Qin expert in the Guishan tribe. Therefore, the Guishan Jihou took her with him during this campaign and used her as an interpreter for the Qin people.
After all, when he catches the Qin people's general, someone must send him a message. Otherwise, when he humiliates the other party, they don't understand, which would be very embarrassing.
Sujatha frowned at this moment, shook her head and said: "None of the Qin chariots I have heard of or seen are like this. These chariots in front of me are very strange."
While the father and daughter were talking, there were already more than a dozen brave Yuezhi warriors riding close to the Qin people's chariot wall to test them.
The screams of the Qin people came from the car wall, which excited these Yuezhi warriors. They shouted and approached the car wall.
There were spears poking out of the gaps in the carriage wall to prevent them from approaching. The clumsy spears were dodged by the nimble Yuezhi warriors. They drove their horses in a circle around the carriage wall and cursed loudly and unpleasantly.
The timid Qin people hid behind the chariot wall, shivering, and could only rely on the protection of their spears and chariot shields. This made the Yuezhi people on the grassland, who advocated offense and violence, look down upon them even more.
This time, thousands of Yueshi cavalry, led by several thousand commanders, approached the Qin army's chariot formation. They wanted to humiliate the Qin people, then break through the Qin people's chariot wall, rush in and kill them.
.
How could Qin farmers, who only knew how to work hard in the fields, be the match for their Yuezhi warriors?
They want rivers of blood!
They want heads rolling!
They want to burn all the food of the Qin people!
Just when these thousands of cavalry came within a hundred steps.
A loud roar from the Qin people was heard in the car formation.
"Cum for me!"
Under this roar, behind the erected walls of carriages, Qin army crossbowmen stood up one after another holding crossbows, which were fully loaded.
They glared angrily at the Yuezhi cavalry, and the bronze crossbows in their hands were particularly dazzling in the sun.
