What moved faster than the Huns were the arrows fired by the Qin army.
Just when the Xiongnu cavalry surrounded the Qin army's chariot formation and prepared to shoot a wave of bows and arrows, the Qin army, which had been prepared for a long time, had already taken the initiative under the order of General Wang Li.
Thousands of arrows were thrown and fell into the 20,000-strong Huns cavalry, causing a commotion immediately.
In particular, some of the thick arrows had very strong range and power. They were able to hit the Huns' rear formation and drive the cavalry directly off their mounts, causing people to shout in surprise.
Behind the 20,000 Huns, there is a small raised hill with flat terrain for men and horses to stand on.
Touman Shanyu led his men up here to overlook the battlefield. His eagle flag fluttered over the hills, bringing courage and confidence to the Hun warriors below.
"The Qin army can actually shoot arrows with their feet!" Touman Chanyu looked a little surprised.
From his high position, he could see that behind the Qin Army's chariot formation, a group of Qin Army crossbowmen were sitting on the ground, shooting arrows with their legs.
Raise the crossbow!
Because the battlefield situation we saw nearby was exactly what we imagined. The Xiongnu cavalry charged and crushed Sujia into mud, and drove the Qin people outside the chariot formation back out of the river.
Wei Huyan and others responded with a smile.
On the south bank of the river, the faces of the young men watching the battle changed slightly.
When to transport troops and when to cross a river with a small force, you must pay attention to timing in battle.
Xi Juan was hit by an arrow in the shoulder. He thought he was going to be seriously injured, but he didn't know that the Huns' arrow was made of bone and had unlimited power.
Didn't penetrate.
With just one sprint, we can crash through these wooden carts, rush into the Qin people in front of the wooden carts, kill them, and even drive the Qin people into the river and drown us alive.
I turned back to look at Zhao Tuosha who was standing next to me, and grinned: "Subu is not very capable at all. That time you were able to defeat Li Yan and drive us away from the grassland. In the future, you and his son will be called
＇７.》
In an instant, it was like thunder and wind.
"Wuluxu and Xubu will deal with these Qin people."
Of course, the premise of all this is that Wang Li's 7,000 men can block the Xiongnu's 20,000 cavalry attack.
That round of shooting by the Huns was the only one that did not dampen Sujia's morale. Instead, it made the Qin people more confident.
"The arrow is coming!"
The archers and infantry crossbowmen exchanged fire, and the outcome was decided.
But our laughter only lasted for a moment, and then it died in our throats.
Zhao Tuosha's eyes opened slightly, and you were stunned.
"The people of Qin are weak with their crossbows. Can you shoot past us? Or let the warriors charge and directly crush Suga's chariot array." Wu Luxu shouted.
When Xi Juan, Wang Hui and other soldiers heard Wang Ling's roar, they either fell to the ground to protect their vital points. Or the soldiers without shields immediately raised their shields to cover themselves.
What's more, a short spear can pierce through several Huns in a row, and it can't be directly inserted into the body of a war horse, causing both the man and the horse to roll to the ground.
As the orders from the two Hun kings were delivered, the desolate trumpet sound ended.
Xu Bu's voice was deep. I have no confidence in the army under my command, nor in the Huns.
Wu Luxu and Shan Yudang, the two Guli kings of the Xiongnu, were being disgraced by Sujia's arrows.
Shan Yudang held the horse's neck tightly with both hands, and the guard next to him quickly came down and held the horse tightly for me.
In our opinion, the so-called chariot formation of the Qin people was just a wooden frame, which could not stop the charge of the small Xiongnu army.
Wu Luxu was also angered by Sujia's shower of arrows. I almost got hit by an arrow just now, so I hurriedly followed up and gave the order to attack.
The Xiongnu's nearly 20,000 cavalry fired together. The arrow rain was dense and dense, far less powerful than the Qin people's shot just now.
Xi Juan even saw Qin soldiers with seventy or eighty bone arrows stuck in their backs, still jumping around in a dull manner.
The Huns cavalry responded,
Although the Qin people's arrows are fierce, the number is small, and the damage caused by one round of shooting is only slight.
The arrows fired by this powerful crossbow are very powerful and have an extremely long range, surpassing the small bows in the hands of the Huns. It is a weapon beyond the imagination of the grassland people.
"After eating that Suga, what do you think of my divination?"
Amidst the sound of the horn, the trampling of horse hooves made the small ground beside the North River tremble.
The cavalry charged in a small scale. When the cavalry in the rear row rolled to the ground, many horses and horses in the front stepped down, trampling the men and horses rolling on the ground to death. The horses in front were tripped and fell, along with the knights behind them.
Fall together and become the new downtrodden.
In addition, the Huns did not have armor, but they only wore a layer of leather clothing and a felt hat under their heads. When they were shot by the Qin people's metal arrows, they immediately fell on their backs and screamed.
"Is there any problem?"
One after another, the sound resounded under the grassland and spread in all directions.
There was a clanging sound, and thousands of arrows flew towards it.
In such chaos, in front of the Wugang chariot formation, Sujia soldiers held spears one foot long and placed them side by side in the gap between the Wugang chariots.
Today's Touman Qin Army has not yet thought about what happened before he defeated Su Jia.
The general's order was given, and Li Yan's crossbow arrows were shot back into the Huns crowd again. This time, due to the approach of the Huns cavalry, the hit rate and power of Suga's arrows were weakened.
I looked back and saw that except for some unlucky guys in the car formation who were accidentally shot in the face or neck and died, a small number of Qin soldiers were basically fine because they wore stomachs on their heads and thick leather armor.
At least it's not like the arrow penetrated the flesh before it penetrated the armor, and the muscles and bones were not injured.
At that moment, the two Guli kings couldn't bear it any longer. Xi Juan spat disdainfully.
At that moment, on the bank of Beihe River, the half-moon battle formation composed of hundreds of Wugang vehicles under Sujia looked less grand and powerful.
Shan Yu stood under the horse, raised his head and screamed: "Rush down and shoot arrows, shoot through those damn Qin people!"
Thousands of horses are galloping, as if they want to crush all enemies that stand in their way.
"What a broken arrow, that's all?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Bu picked up the telescope again, his eyes passed over the fierce battle battlefield, looked at the hills on the other side, and fell under the Qin army who was laughing.
.
"Bah, it's still the Ruyue clan."
Zuo Xiaojiang, who was standing nearby, felt his scalp numb.
However, after being surprised, Touman Shanyu quickly regained his composure.
We had expected that the range of Qin's crossbow was not that far. Usually the war horse Shan Yudang was sitting on was hit by a Qin arrow, and he screamed and jumped up, almost throwing me up.
Xubu shook his head. Since I wanted to defeat the enemy with Queyue Formation, I naturally could transport too few troops there. Otherwise, once the number of Sujia was reduced, it would be very unlikely that the Touman Qin army would withdraw, which would make this situation impossible.
The results of the formation are small if they are small.
Countless Huns responded with howls. Amidst the sound of horns, each of the Huns' cavalrymen, with red eyes, rushed towards Suga's chariot array.
Touman Qinjun smiled happily: "Hahaha, that charge is enough to crush those thousands of Sujias. You have to make Xu Buqian regret come to the grassland!"
As brave men who seized the river bank, each of us was fully armored and had no weak defense against the Huns' bone clusters and stone clusters.
The shining spear points were facing the Hun cavalry who had rushed through the rain of arrows and short spears...
Facing the charge of the Huns, Sujia outside the car formation seemed unprepared. We destroyed hundreds of small crossbows and then used special short spears as arrows.
"kill!"
Because in his opinion, no matter how good the weapons and equipment of the Qin army were, they only had a few thousand people crossing the river, and their number was limited, so they were no match for the Xiongnu army.
Under the hills, on the flying eagle flag.
The short spears flew, knocking over the Hun cavalry who rushed behind the formation on the spot, and fell off their horses screaming.
Chen Ping, who lacked much battle experience, could not help but said: "General, the Huns cavalry are fierce. It is better to have the boat division come back and transport the soldiers to support General Wang.
"Counterattack!"
Outside the chariot formation, Wang Lingxiao screamed and rushed towards the oar shield in front of Wu Gang's chariot first, using the low shield wall as cover.
Shan Yudang had not yet replaced his horse, so he responded: "Charge now and break through the Qin people's chariot formation!".q.
A common custom is popular among some tribes under the grassland. When a smaller enemy is defeated, the loser will use the enemy's name as the name of his son.
The corners of Zhao Tuosha's mouth twitched slightly, and she smiled weakly at Man Qinjun.
"It's only for the time being. You doubt General Wang."
Wulu raised his arms in vain and shouted: "Grassland Warriors, crush Li Yan!"
Suga's two rounds of shooting caused hundreds of casualties to the Huns.
At this moment, on the orders of the two kings, 20,000 Xiongnu warriors rode behind the horses. Before retreating into the range of the bows and arrows, they took up the short bows in their hands and fired at Li Yan who was outside the chariot formation.
There were muffled sounds in the queue of cars.

Reference battle examples:
"Zi Zhi Tong Jian": Yu sent 700 soldiers from Ding Xushuai, leader of Bai Zhi's team, and hundreds of chariots to cross the north bank and go to the water for more than a hundred steps to form a moon formation, hug the river at both ends, and place seven soldiers in the chariots.
, after the work was done, the emissary erected a white grate; the Wei people did not understand its meaning and did not move. Yuxian ordered Ningshuo General Zhu Chao to enforce martial law. As soon as the white grate was raised, Chao Shi, commander of 2,000 men, rushed towards it with hundreds of large crossbows.
Zhang, with a chariot of twenty men, set up a platoon on the shaft. When the Wei people saw that the camp was established, they moved to encircle it. The eldest son Songshuai assisted him with 30,000 horsemen. He was weak on all sides and attacked the camp, and his crossbows could not be used. Shi Chao Shi
In addition to the big hammer, there were more than a thousand branches. The broken branches were three or four feet long and were hammered. Each hole could penetrate three or four people. The Wei soldiers were unable to stop them. They collapsed in a moment and the dead piled up.
