But the Great Qin Army was indeed not easy to deal with. After experiencing the initial chaos, they reorganized their ranks, began to speed up, and continued to move forward.
When they were a hundred steps away, the archers on the city also shot arrows one after another, killing those Qin troops who wanted to get closer.
But in less than half an hour, many Daqin soldiers had already rushed to the tower, lifted up the ladders one by one, and began to climb towards the not-so-high Tucheng tower.
"Blow up the artillery and retreat."
Aoda looked at this scene and saw that Tianlei was almost finished in a short period of time. He knew that there was no need to stay in the city. After giving the last order, he organized everyone to
Got the tower.
After another stick of incense, the tower of Tucheng was occupied by the Qin army. They opened the city gate from the inside, and the army finally entered the city.
But before the army could enter the city, a fire suddenly broke out in the city, and the houses were set ablaze, blowing into the wind. Soon thick smoke billowed, blocking everyone's sight.
"Asshole, these Chinese troops actually want to destroy the city. Come here, order the cavalry to attack, catch up with them, and kill them all." Octavian, who was riding a horse, couldn't help but look at the scene of flames soaring into the sky in the distance.
He said it through gritted teeth with hatred.
Aoda quickly exited Tucheng with 2,500 soldiers. Outside the east city gate, there were already many carriages waiting here. These were all caravan carriages, except for some that were used to transport evacuated people.
, the rest were all concentrated here, and all the troops were used to retreat.
"How's it going? Have the Shanshan Guards arrived?" As soon as he arrived outside the city and saw Gao Yan waiting here, Aoda asked anxiously.
"Captain Xinghai has arrived and is preparing to block the Qin cavalry on both sides. Master Ao, let's retreat quickly. Only when we all evacuate safely can Shanshan Guards fight." Gao Yan knew the other party's worries.
What, he told me everything he knew.
"Okay, it's good that they are here. Let's retreat immediately. Hurry." Aoda couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the Shanshan Guards were coming. Then he ordered the army to retreat quickly. He also knew very well that once
These people were bitten by Da Qin's cavalry, and I'm afraid there won't be any good results.
The commander of the Second Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of Shanshan Guards, Xinghai, was waiting outside the North City of Tucheng with five thousand cavalry.
The Shanshan Guard is very strong, and its combat power is not comparable to that of an ordinary army. But the enemy has more than 300,000 people, and there are more than 100,000 cavalry alone. In comparison, although the Shanshan Guard is strong, after all,
There is only one group of 5,000 people.
The huge difference in numbers made Xinghai not very optimistic about this battle.
Fortunately, his mission is to block the pursuit of the Qin cavalry, not to fight them desperately. In this way, the pressure on him will be much less.
Based on the idea that it would be better to cut off one of his ten fingers, Xinghai did not separate his troops, but gathered them all together. He wanted to give the pursuing Daqin cavalry a heavy blow and teach them how to fight.
How are cavalry used?
That is to say, just after the Second Regiment deployed its troops, billowing dust and smoke were indeed raised on the opposite side of them, and there were waves of rumbling sounds from the ground. Needless to say, anyone who knows about cavalry,
Everyone knew that this was the appearance of enemy cavalry.
"Be prepared for battle. Remember, after repelling the enemy, we will retreat immediately. Our task is to protect the soldiers and civilians of Tucheng in retreating, not to really fight them." I am afraid that the soldiers below will fight against each other.
When the battle started, he forgot about it, and Xinghai had to repeat the purpose of the battle again.
Indeed, the Shanshan Guards are very good at fighting, so that when they encounter an opponent, they often kill like crazy. Many times, they forget their original purpose while fighting. Only then did Xinghai repeat it.
combat missions.
With Xinghai's words, the soldiers below nodded in agreement one by one. Then they focused their attention on the billowing dust and smoke on the opposite side.
"kill!"
When the clouds of dust and smoke were at least five miles away from the second regiment, Xinghai rudely gave the order to charge and attack.
Shanshanwei has always been like this when dealing with enemies. He
We never look at the opponent's strength or equipment. When we encounter one, we just use one word - kill!
This is a sign of extreme self-confidence, and also a sign of one's own strong combat power.
As soon as the Shanshan Guards moved, smoke and dust were also billowing. Looking from a distance, it was impossible to tell how many cavalry were coming. And those responsible for the attack in the east were none other than King Eguda of the Western Barbarians and a member of the Qin Army.
Three thousand captains.
Under the billowing smoke and dust, looking down from a high altitude, all you can see is two completely shapeless pieces of dust approaching rapidly.
Because of the smoke and dust, people in the middle and back of the team would not know what was happening in front of them, and all they could do was keep their heads down. Only the front of the team could clearly see what was happening on the other side.
Such things.
Although Er Guda is a little older, when he was a barbarian king, he also experienced a lot of large and small battles, especially the cavalry.
It is no exaggeration to say that he can roughly tell the strength of the cavalry just by looking at it. Because of this, when he saw the Shanshan Guards coming from the opposite side, he felt a huge surge.
sense of danger.
"This is a strong team. It is difficult to win against such people. Even if we win, it will be a miserable victory."
Once this idea was formed in his mind, Er Guda instinctively took the lead and rushed to the side.
He almost failed to leave the barbarian capital. If his daughter had not appeared in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. It was also because he left so suddenly that he did not bring too much gold, silver, soldiers and horses. In comparison, he
The number of troops under his command is the minimum.
Even if he didn't have many troops in the first place, it would be even less possible for him to fight anyone head-on. Otherwise, once he loses military power, who would care about him, the former barbarian king?
Not wanting to fight head-on with the Shanshan Guards here, Erguda retreated, and under the protection of the master master and ascetic Teng Ziju, he led his cavalry and retreated to the side.
Er Guda's behavior was so decisive that the captain of the 3,000 Great Qin cavalry who was traveling with him had already disappeared with the cavalry before he could even react. Now he is the only one left with the 3,000 cavalrymen.
The cavalry was still charging forward.
"You bastard, you're shameful." The captain of the three thousand men cursed bitterly as he rushed towards the direction in which Erguda was escaping.
But it was just a curse. At this moment, the distance between him and the Shanshan Guard was less than two miles. At this moment, even if he wanted to escape, he had no time.
As a last resort, he could only bite the bullet and rush forward.
"Fire the arrow." The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and when the distance was less than a mile, the voice of Captain Xinghai shouted.
Just now, Xinghai, who was rushing in front, saw the fact that a Great Qin cavalry was running sideways. He was not very surprised. In his opinion, this was a normal thing. After all, the Shanshan Guard's troops were not everyone's best.
It can be shaken. In many cases, running away is the best and wisest choice.
Part of the enemy cavalry escaped, but this does not change the purpose of Xinghai leading the army to continue the attack. Besides, if the cavalry rushes for this purpose, it cannot be stopped by a certain person. Even if a person can stop,
, and neither can horses.
And once you insist on stopping, you have to be prepared to be knocked off your horse by the cavalry from behind.
Xinghai made the decision to continue charging. At the same time, the Shanshan Guards cavalry behind him took out the Shen's small repeating crossbows one by one, and began to continuously shoot bows and arrows forward. And once
After someone releases the five arrows in their hands, they will then take out the bright silver spear that is the symbol of the Mountain-Shaking Guard and charge forward.
The cavalry charge seems complicated, but sometimes it is very simple. In many cases, from the moment the charge is decided, the more important thing to compete is the strength and morale of both sides.
Following Xinghai's voice, countless arrows flew forward, falling towards the oncoming Da Qin cavalry formation.
Five thousand people, one person can shoot five arrows, that is 25,000 arrows. Even if every arrow cannot fall on the opponent, as long as there are half, more than 10,000 arrows are enough.
The three thousand Qin cavalry charging from the opposite side have a good drink.
A pot.
When so many arrows came at high speed, the captain of the three thousand Daqin cavalry who was also rushing in front had panic flashing through his eyes. When those arrows came overwhelmingly, he actually felt that he had no way to hide.
Feeling like hiding.
Although, the three thousand captain still relied on his previous combat experience to wave the saber in his hand and successfully knocked down the two incoming arrows. But then the third and fourth arrows fell.
When he was also shot, his movements finally couldn't keep up with the speed of the arrow, and soon he was hit in the chest by the arrow.
What the Shanshan Guards use are not ordinary bows and arrows, but straight-up hook arrows. This kind of arrow can easily penetrate the enemy's armor and armor every time it falls, maximizing its effectiveness.
The effect of damaging the enemy.
When a hook arrow successfully penetrated into the body of the three thousand captain, he felt a heartbreaking pain. Then, the strength of his body was rapidly passing away. And in his
When he was still about to struggle a few times, another, third, and fourth arrows fell towards him.
One arrow was enough to kill him, and so many more arrows came. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, the three thousand captain quickly fell off his horse.
And even when he fell from the horse to the ground, his eyes were still wide open, looking like he was still dead.
