Chapter 927 Attack
The Seven Rivers Basin is the land nourished by seven rivers that flow from the Tianshan Mountains into the Yibohai.

From east to west, they are given Chinese names respectively, Chushui, Saishui, Yishui, Duanshui, Jingshui, Yashui, and Lanshui.

Today, nearly [-] troops are lined up on both sides of the Yashui River.

To the west is the Kangju, Sasanian, and Wusun coalition forces, with different flags, different clothes, and even weapons. They are like a group of improvised beggars.

To the east are all black cavalry.

The first three thousand riders were all wearing iron armor, and the horses were also covered with a layer of leather armor.

The next [-] pacers are waiting in full force.

The military capacity is extremely strong, and there is no panic in the face of two or three times the enemy.

"Why don't King Xia procrastinate for a while? The enemy army is far away, and the food and grass will not be able to make ends meet. Once the weather is cold, they will not be able to sustain it. At that time, they will chase death and chase north, and the enemy will not return!"

Having lived in Xia Kingdom for so many years, Xia Houxu's elegance cannot be concealed by a suit of armor.

"If I want to delay you, I can't wait any longer!" Li Xiang held a long knife in his left hand and a long spear in his right hand, looking impatient.

Yang Yi is dressed in bright armor, wearing a red cloak, and riding a tall horse, which further accentuates his burly body. After becoming the King of Xia, his aura has become more majestic and more leader-like.

Covered by Yang Zheng's brilliance in the Central Plains, he gradually revealed his brilliance in the Western Regions.

"This place is different from the Central Plains, where one horse is flat and the other is close to battle, open and close, and the brave cannot win. If we want to take root in this Western Region, we have to scare them, subdue them, and let them hear the word "Daqin" from now on. Don't dare to look up!"

"Haha, what brother said is true!" Zhao Xiong laughed loudly.

"Then kill their corpses all over the field and blood flow into rivers!" Li Xiang's flesh was throbbing all over his face.

It's a bit aggrieved to bear the title of "Little Wenyang" for so many years.

More than anyone else, he wants to prove that he is not under Wen Yang.

It's a pity that such opportunities are rare.

It was hard to wait until today.

Woo, woo——

The desolate horn whimpered.

The Kangju cavalry moved first, split into two mighty groups, and split into two groups on the grassland, like a huge mouth, trying to swallow the Qin army.

The sound of their whistling can be heard all over the sky.

The Qin army was also divided into two divisions. The infantry formed a crescent formation on the grassy slope, the grass was long, the spears were like reeds, and the shields were like walls.

The crossbowmen are behind.

However, more than [-] cavalry surrounded Yang Yi and slowly retreated eastward.

This created an illusion of retreat for the enemy army rushing from the west, and the enemy army rushed more and more frantically.

The Qin army's formation also panicked.

"Those who act recklessly, beheaded!" Zhao Xiong stood at the front with five hundred heavily armored infantry holding his sword and shield.

The tall figure reassured the soldiers behind him.

"Brother, don't panic, King Xia will never abandon me!"

"Daqin has never deserted!"

"Stick to the line, the enemy will be defeated!"

The Xuanyi envoys appease the pawns.

Except for a few Wusun Xie troops, most of the Qin army's infantry regained their composure.

Because Yang Yi's dental plaque stands on the grass slope, in the middle of the pace.

The gust of wind howled down from the northeast, sweeping across the battlefield with Luo Huangye's coldness, the grass rustled, and after calming down, a chilling air rose into the sky.

Countless white clouds passed overhead.

However, not only white clouds but also rain of arrows flashed overhead.

The rain of arrows on both sides quickly covered the sky, as if countless migratory locusts jumped into the sky from the grass.

crackle crackle.

The rain of arrows from the Kangju people either hit the Qin army's large shield or the three rows of armored soldiers in front. Occasionally someone screamed and was quickly dragged down by the robes behind him, and the next person took his place.

If Yang Yi is willing, he can also gather a team of [-] to [-] people in a few months like the Kangju people.

But he is also like Yang Zheng, the soldiers are more expensive than the elite, and he takes the route of elite soldiers.

Xia Guoqin's army was equipped with excellent equipment, and all the soldiers were brave Qiang and Han warriors.

Less than a hundred people died under riding and shooting.

But there were nearly a thousand enemy soldiers who died at the crossbowmen of the Qin army!

Qin Jun's arrow rain was bigger, faster and fiercer.

The Kangju cavalry had no saddles, and after firing one arrow, it took a long time to shoot the second arrow.

However, the Qin army can shoot rapidly, including crossbows, bed crossbows, continuous crossbows, heavy crossbows, horn bows, longbows... Various models, full coverage, long range, and sufficient lethality.

Even the arrows are divided into conical arrows, armor-piercing arrows, barbed arrows, broken-throat arrows, heavy arrows, and crescent moon arrows...

Some shoot people, some shoot horses.

As long as one is hit by an arrow, either the blood will not stop, or it will not be pulled out, or it will be drilled into the flesh with the jolt of the horse...

Kangju people's bows and arrows are like children's toys in front of these sharp weapons.

Behind Xia Guo is Da Qin.

The ordnance produced by the two counties of Xiping and Zhangye is supplied to Xia State every year like a river.

The second round and the third round of arrow rain followed.

People are screaming, and horses are screaming.

The enemy army was completely stunned by the terrifying rain of arrows.

It's fine to just shoot to death, the key is to scream on the grass, which is extremely disturbing to the morale of the army.

"The Qin people are also good at bows and arrows. If you rush over, you can cut off their heads!" The Sasanian among the cavalry shouted.

Cavalry has a huge advantage over infantry.

Therefore, there are very few infantry in the Central Asian countries, and even if there are, they are just making up the numbers.

The people of Kangju finally had some confidence, because they were getting closer and closer to the Qin army's formation, and the terrifying arrow rain of the Qin army had stopped.

So they raised the spears in their hands excitedly and angrily...

The strong wind is still blowing, and the wild grass is still rustling.

Puffs of blood splattered on the wild grass, adding a layer of bright red to the withered yellow color...

Usually, cavalry does have a huge advantage over infantry.

However, they forgot that these were not pawns from the Western Regions or Central Asia, but pawns from the Great Qin Dynasty.

They have stronger courage and will than cavalry!
The spears stabbed neatly into the Kangju people's bodies, picking them up from the ground.

Some Kangju cavalry thought that they could cut melons and vegetables by rushing in through the gaps of the infantry after breaking their spears, but they found that what awaited them was a long-handled saber with a cold light.

A cold light came oncoming, with a puff.

The blade easily tore the necks of the horses, and also tore their leather armor.

Then they saw that the war horse and their lower body were still galloping, but their upper body was already flying...

Over the years, Daqin Workshop has continuously improved its weapons according to changes in the battlefield.

Bows, armor, swords, and spears are all getting better and better.

The killing was more terrifying and tragic than the rain of arrows.

There are broken bodies everywhere, broken internal organs...

The low grass slope was soon dyed blood red, like a burning red flame, and the people of Kangju were moths that kept rushing to the flame.

The corpses were piled on layer upon layer.

call-

Stimulated by the huge smell of blood, the frightened war horse refused to charge forward.

The Kangju people, Wusun people, and Sassanid people were all terrified.

The Qin army on the grass slope is like a monument that will not fall down.

However, what followed was shame. The [-] to [-] cavalry could not do anything to the more than [-] infantry. If word got out, the bravery they had always boasted of would be gone.

Especially the Sassanids, who have conquered all over the world for more than 40 years, have been invincible.

The cavalry attack stopped, but the Sasanian javelinmen entered the field.

2000 The Medes javelins marched towards the grassy slopes with shields in hand. They originally lived in the plateau area of ​​Medes and were rich in excellent gladiators. They gained independence in the seventh century BC and established a huge empire. Persian fusion.

"Ho, ho, ho..."

The cheers of the Sassanians resounded on the battlefield, and the javeliners were their unique unit.

Each of them had five javelins stuck behind their backs, and they attracted attention from both sides as soon as they appeared on the stage.

Qin Jun's arrow rain covered the sky again.

However, being blocked by their shields, only heavy crossbows and bed crossbows shot through the shields, nailing more than 100 people to the grass.

But these casualties were not enough to crush them.

The javeliner continued to move forward against the rain of arrows, and when he was thirty or forty steps away, sharp javelins were thrown one by one.

Falling into the Qin army's formation, it instantly penetrated the Qin army's large shield and heavy armor, and nailed more than a hundred Qin troops to the grassy slope.

There was a gap in the formation, and Pao Ze behind him quickly filled it.

Although the javeliner's power is great, it's not much more than that.

When they shot for the second time, the crossbowmen of the Qin Army fired rapidly, and at a distance of thirty or forty steps, they were condescending again, and the scales and shields of the javeliners lost their effect.

Armor-piercing arrows pierced through their bodies.

The two thousand javeliners were all pinned to the ground under the stormy crossbow arrows.

"I don't know why." Zhao Xiong looked at the rows of javeliners on the ground and spit. He really couldn't figure out why the enemy sent these people to die.

The aura when he appeared on the stage was indeed astonishing. I thought it was something unique, but I didn't expect it to be so weak...

The small grassy slope seems to be a mountain that the enemy cannot cross.

The enemy finally got their brains working, and realized that the Qin army's formation could not be dealt with for a moment, and changed from a rush attack to a siege.

Tens of thousands of cavalry are like a giant python, circling and winding around the grassy slope.

There is no water source on the grassy slope, and the Qin army will be exhausted after two days.

However, they obviously forgot that the Qin army also had cavalry - better cavalry than them!

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Qin Jun's teeth were chattering.

A faint chill swept across all the enemy troops on the battlefield.

The war horse fell to the ground and wailed, looking in the direction of the northeast wind in horror.

The dying Kangju cavalry suddenly sensed something and looked to the northeast. They struggled and shouted like a flash of light, trying to warn their clansmen, but their weak voice could not attract their attention.

So they gradually died with sorrow and fear...

Born in this era, it is their sorrow to be an enemy of Daqin.

Boom, boom, boom...

There was a burst of thunder in the northeast direction.

The strong wind made the Kangju people, Wusun people, and Sassanid people raise their heads with difficulty, but what they saw was gray.

It's like smoke, like... a black flood.

"Qin!" A sharp shout sounded from Kangju people's mouth.

"Da Qin, Da Qin!" The Qin army on the grass slope shouted hysterically.

Strong winds and torrents rushed down together.

A cloud of dust rose from the ground.

The moment Kangju people saw Qin Jun, it meant that they had become prey.

Before the people arrived, the murderous aura came overwhelmingly.

The Kangju people's war horses let out bursts of mourning, as if they had a premonition of their own fate.

Fear, panic, overwhelmed!
During the battle with the Qin army's infantry, a lot of energy was consumed, but strength doesn't matter, the key is the blow to morale and confidence.

If they can't even deal with the tens of thousands of Qin army infantry, what can they do against the Qin army cavalry?
"retreat!"

"attack!"

"Assemble!"

In a panic, the enemy issued a series of contradictory orders.

Dozens of war horses are packed together.

The Kangju people and the Sassanid people turned against each other.

There were even more than a thousand Wusun people kneeling in front of the Qin army's formation, begging for forgiveness for their betrayal...

When they were in chaos, the Qin army had already killed them. The leader with a long knife in his left hand and a long lance in his right was Li Xiang.

Hundreds of armored cavalry swarmed around.

"Kill—" Li Xiang roared wildly.

The armored cavalry crashed into the enemy army, and the men and horses shattered one after another, and were trampled into a pool of blood by thousands of horseshoes.

God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.

Under the knife and lance, there is no one general.

It seemed that all of Qin Jun's murderous and evil spirits were concentrated on him alone.

On the grassy slope, Zhao Xiong raised his head and laughed loudly: "Today's battle is enough to be famous through the ages. You can follow me to fight and make meritorious service for the country!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The large shield pushed forward, and the spear thrust forward, quickly dividing the battlefield into two halves.

At this time, the enemy has lost the will to resist.

People kept fleeing the battlefield.

The coalition forces have never been united.

Some people ran a few extra steps for their own sake, and they did not hesitate to knock down Pao Ze beside him.

But tens of thousands of people, plus 10,000+ cattle, sheep and horses, once collapsed, it can only be a situation of trampling each other.

There were also some brave generals who tried to resist, gathered more than a thousand warriors, and went straight to Li Xiang with their bravery.

At this time, Li Xiang was blessed with the momentum of the entire Qin army, and he was more brave and mighty than before.

Wearing more than ten wounds, but ignorant, wielding long knives and long lances as if never tired.

The brave general who stepped forward to intercept him, dodged the long spear stabbed by Li Xiang, but not the long knife struck by the lightning on the left. His head flew up, was caught by Li Xiang, and hung on his shoulder...

And the armored cavalry beside him had a series of human heads hanging on their horses.

Running, the armor on the head collided with each other, making a "click" sound.

It was as if the souls of the dead were weeping.

The Qin army did not have the habit of collecting heads, but in the Xia Kingdom, there were mostly Qiang soldiers, so the old tradition was restored.

Wherever Li Xiang rushed, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and a river of blood flowed from the horse's hooves, like a demon god descending into the world...

"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Xia Houxu who came behind hurriedly made the Wusun soldiers around him shout.

If the killing continues like this, I'm afraid there will be no one in Hezhong and Kangju in the future.

Yang Yi laughed immediately, "This is the tiger and wolf teacher of Daqin!"

Those who surrender do not kill...

These words shattered the enemy's last resistance, and even the strength to escape seemed to be drained. One by one, they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Li Xiang was completely red-eyed, and immediately turned around and shouted, "King Xia, take this opportunity to kill Kang Ju first, and then kill He Zhong!"

Although the infantry were exhausted, the cavalry still had enough strength, and the camels with sleeping frames came leisurely behind.

Regardless of overall tactics or individual bravery, the Kangju people, Wusun people, and Sassanid people all fell behind.

The Qin army has inherited the vigorous martial arts since the Han and Wei dynasties, and after absorbing the surrounding Qianghu, Xiongnu, and Xianbei, it is even worse.

Yang Yi's eyes showed a fierce look, "Zhao Xiong led the infantry to rest in the rear, and then rushed to the river to gather, and the rest of the cavalry followed alone to attack!"
