The Jiuyuan Army left the city with a total of 80,000 infantry. After nearly two hours of defense, it not only successfully resisted the charge of 200,000 Donghu cavalry, but also caused nearly 50,000 casualties to the Donghu cavalry. Of course, Jiuyuan Army
The infantry also suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
It was the first time that the Jiuyuan Army lost more than 10,000 people in one battle in more than ten years.
Although the charge of the more than 60,000 infantrymen of the Nine Plains Army slowed down a bit after advancing dozens of steps, their breakthrough speed was still very fast.
After nearly two hours of fighting, compared to the Donghu cavalry who had maintained an offensive posture and were now exhausted, the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army, which had been in a defensive posture, was also very tired, but it was better than the Donghu cavalry.
a lot of.
In addition, the Donghu cavalry obviously did not expect that the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army who had been huddled in the giant shield formation would counterattack. In addition, the arrival of Qin reinforcements put pressure on them. Therefore, the Donghu cavalry faced the Jiuyuan Army.
When the infantry suddenly launched a counterattack, they immediately felt caught off guard. They were either killed on the spot by the infantry of the Nine Plains Army, or they retreated to both sides like a tide.
This is also one of the reasons why the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army were able to break through so quickly.
Faced with the panic and weak attack of the Donghu cavalry, the infantrymen of the Jiuyuan Army, who had experienced hundreds of battles, naturally could not let go of this opportunity. Although they were very tired physically, they were mentally excited as if they had taken a big tonic.
Still maintaining extremely fast speed, they rushed through the Donghu cavalry formation.
When Morton heard the sound of war drums coming from the infantry formation of the Jiuyuan Army, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. The following series of actions of the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army confirmed his guess.
Seeing that the Donghu cavalry can only slightly delay the advance of the Jiuyuan Army infantry, in at most a quarter of an hour the Jiuyuan Army infantry will completely break through the siege of the Donghu cavalry. Once the Jiuyuan Army infantry breaks through the siege of the Donghu cavalry, then
The previous hour or so of fighting, with tens of thousands of casualties, could basically be said to have been in vain.
Under Morton's order, one hundred thousand Huns came from the right wing, beating their horses desperately and running toward the infantry of the Nine Plains Army who kept breaking through on the left wing.
The infantry of the Jiuyuan Army continued to advance again and again.
Due to the arrival of Da Qin's reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield began to change.
Li Gang's forty-nine Yuan Army elite cavalry, which was cruising in the periphery and ready to charge, easily spotted the high-flying "Qin" flag. The movements of Li Gang and others were faster than those of the Nine Yuan Army infantry.
His actions were a little faster.
Upon discovering the arrival of reinforcements, the four generals in charge, including Li Gang and Mengmao, quickly changed their strategies.
The horn of Morton's main formation sounded, and 100,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry approached the infantry of the Nine Plains Army. Mohuer led the remaining 80,000 Donghu cavalry towards the reinforcements, and Xubu Baye led 40,000 Donghu cavalry towards the four sides.
The fine cavalry of the Wanjiu original army slowly approached.
The 49 thousand fine cavalrymen of the original army who were originally standing still suddenly started to move when Xubu Baye had just slowly advanced less than a few dozen steps.
The 49,000 elite cavalry of the original army went from silence to movement, rushing towards Xubu Baye and the 40,000 Huns cavalry like an arrow from a string.
Xubu Baye's Huns cavalry were only about 500 steps away.
In fact, Xubu Baye's original intention of approaching the Nine Plains Army Jingqi was just to force the 49,000 Yuan Army Jingqi back so that they could stay further away from the battlefield. In this case, even if the 49,000 Yuan Army Jingqi wanted to join
On the battlefield, the Huns cavalry can make timely and effective responses. After all, with the distance of the 49 thousand elite cavalry of the original army, it would only take a moment to join the battlefield and attack any group of Huns cavalry.
If when the Xiongnu cavalry or Donghu cavalry are fighting with the Jiuyuan Army, this group of Jiuyuan Army's elite cavalry, like maggots on the tarsal bones, joins the battlefield fiercely. With the combat power of the Jiuyuan Army's elite cavalry, what can they do?
You don’t need to think about the harm it causes to know.
The 49,000 elite cavalrymen of the original army suddenly launched and charged towards the tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry. Naturally, this was beyond Xu Buba Ye's expectation.
Just a moment after Xubu Baye issued the order, the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army approached again by more than a hundred steps. When Xubu Baye looked again, the distance between the two armies was less than four hundred steps.
At this distance, even if Xububaye wanted to order the Huns cavalry to turn around, it was already too late. What's more, Xububaye didn't pay much attention to the Jingqi of the Jiuyuan Army. After all, the Jingqi of the Jiuyuan Army just saw the Huns cavalry, but they immediately
Escape. As for the Jiuyuan Army being able to quickly cut through the 60,000 Donghu cavalry, it was naturally because the Donghu cavalry was too incompetent.
Following Xubu Baye's order, 40,000 Huns cavalry roared and rushed towards the 49,000 elite cavalry of the original army that rushed towards them.
Li Gang and others were overjoyed when they saw that the Huns cavalry did not turn around and run away, but instead came towards him and others.
That’s what you want!
The elite cavalry of the Nine Plains Army, which were originally connected together, instantly transformed into two conical formations.
The distance of four hundred steps is only a little more than ten breaths of time under the galloping horses.
Accompanied by a familiar buzzing sound, a black cloud rose into the sky with a roar from the elite cavalry formation of the Jiuyuan Army. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the top of the Hun cavalry, and then penetrated hard with a sharp whistling sound.
Huns cavalry in formation.
The Hun cavalry at the front were instantly thrown down by the oncoming charge with cries of ghosts and wolf howls, beating the war horses desperately, and the neighing of the war horses and the miserable howls of the Huns before their death were heard together.
At this time, the distance between the two armies was less than a hundred steps.
The approaching Huns cavalry have already picked up their bows and set up arrows. As soon as they enter the range of the strong bows, they will pour a continuous stream of arrows onto the heads of the Jiuyuan Army’s elite cavalry. However, the Jiuyuan Army knows the Huns’ tactics well.
How could he be beaten countless times like the Huns and still not have any memory?
The two conical formations split into two in the blink of an eye, avoiding the frontal charge in the middle, and rushed towards the left and right wings of the Hun cavalry respectively. The tactics were exactly the same as those used to deal with the Donghu cavalry.
However, compared to the Donghu cavalry, the Xiongnu cavalry was indeed more fierce and much better at fighting.
Although the sudden change of formation of the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army avoided a head-on collision, the Hun cavalry did not panic. The Hun cavalry, which had already been ready with their bows and arrows for a long time, shot out the arrows in their hands without hesitation. In the blink of an eye,
A large number of feather arrows shot toward the left and right wings.
Now that the two armies could only meet in more than fifty steps, the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army began to suffer casualties. From time to time, the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army was hit by feather arrows and fell off their horses, or their horses were hit by feather arrows and knocked down.
At a distance of more than fifty steps, the Huns cavalry could basically shoot three arrows in succession. Even though the Qin soldiers had complete leather armor, these feather arrows still caused more than 3,000 casualties to the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army.
Just after breaking through the conical formation of 60,000 Donghu cavalry, the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army had only lost more than 2,000 people.
But the Huns' good luck only ended there.
With a loud noise, two conical formations of the Nine Plains Army elite cavalry crashed straight into the Huns cavalry formation. Under the leadership of Li Gang, Mengmai and other four people, like two black dragons entering the sea, they surged through the Huns cavalry formation.
, the Huns cavalry were chopped off their horses one after another like dumplings.
However, during a tea break, the Hun cavalry, which was attacked at the waist and abdomen by two Nine Plains troops at the same time, was completely cut into three sections, and the head and tail could not see each other.
Looking at the two groups of Nine Plains Army elite cavalry rushing left and right in the Huns cavalry formation, as if they were entering an uninhabited land, Xubu Baye's hideous and ugly face was already pale.
Defeated. And defeated so quickly. Xubu Baye, who had already seen the top of his head from the moment he entered the territory of Daqin, finally knew why his Xiongnu clan failed to return south again and again for more than a hundred years. In the end, after more than ten years
I dare not set foot even half a step south of Yinshan Mountain.
If he had been defeated an hour ago, Xubu Baye would never be like this. Although his mind was not very bright, he could clearly see the situation facing the Huns in front of him.
When the Qin reinforcements arrived, the great Shanyu Moton immediately added his 100,000 Xiongnu troops to the battlefield to surround and kill the infantry of the Nine Plains Army. Obviously, he did not expect Mohuer's Donghu cavalry to defeat the Qin cavalry, but
Let Donghu use his life to hold back the Qin reinforcements and create time for himself to surround and kill the infantry of the Nine Plains Army.
The same is true for the 40,000 Qin elite cavalry that Xubu Baye led and the 40,000 Xiongnu cavalry watching. As long as there are no Qin cavalry or reinforcements joining the battlefield, it is certainly impossible for the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army to stop nearly thirty
Under the siege of tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, no matter how powerful the Jiuyuan Army was, it would be a matter of time before it was overthrown.
But at this time, he not only failed to complete the task of watching or blocking the 40,000 Qin cavalry, but also killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu warriors. It can be expected that once these 40,000 elite Jiuyuan Army cavalry enter the battlefield
, will definitely defeat the plan of the great Morton Shanyu to surround and kill the Qin infantry.
Xubu Baye looked at the Hun warriors who were constantly being killed by the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army with the cooperation of the three cavalry. He seemed to have seen his own end. The miserable howls of the Hun cavalry that kept ringing around him seemed to be coming from the distant sky.
Come.
"Kill!" Xubu Baye roared in despair, leading the hundreds of guards around him and rushing towards the surrounding Jiuyuan Army. He was instantly drowned in the continuous flow of the Jiuyuan Army's elite cavalry.
In the three-cone array.
…
The Da Qin reinforcements, carrying billowing smoke and dust, finally revealed their true colors. In addition to the black brocade "Qin" flag flying in mid-air, a slightly smaller black brocade flag appeared in front of the team.
The big word "Xin" in the center has already revealed the identity of this Qin reinforcements.
Longxi Army. Former Jiuyuan Army deputy general Xin Sheng is the new Longxi general.
All the soldiers in the Jiuyuan Army knew this, but Mohuer didn't know it. Of course, he couldn't recognize the small seal script either.
The more than 80,000 Donghu cavalry and the 50,000 Longxi Army who came from Linhe County after receiving Meng Tian's order were already facing each other, less than five miles away. Under Mohu'er's instruction, the more than 80,000 Donghu cavalry put into charge formation and slowed down.
He grabbed the war horse and stopped slowly.
Mohu'er has seen clearly that the soldiers of this Qin reinforcements will not exceed his own Donghu cavalry. In this case, if he can use force to force the Qin people to stop their advance without fighting, why not do it?
However, it is obvious that Mohuer's idea is just wishful thinking.
