(The second one is delivered, please subscribe automatically, take a look every day, you will feel much better!)

The war is stalemate.

The fight for the first fence of the Qin camp lasted for an hour and a half, and the price paid by the Huns reached a shocking [-] people.

This amount of loss, even if Maodun has an army of more than [-], he still feels heartbroken, not only the loss of one-tenth of the soldiers, but also because those who took the first wave of attack are all from the most valiant tribes. Soldier.

Thinking of this, Mao Dun could no longer rest safely in the tent, he ignored the persuasion of the Bank of China, and moved the king's tent to the front line.

There was a burst of shouting and killing.

The mournful shouts of the Huns soldiers, accompanied by the thunderous and dull war drums of the Qin army, one after another retreated from the king's tent of Maodun after being maimed. This time, the warriors of the great Huns There is no more arrogance in his eyes, but only endless fear.

"The essence of the great Xiongnu died in slavery." Looking at these listless soldiers, Mao Dun faintly had this ominous thought in his heart.

"Bank of China, give orders to the leaders of the various ministries, saying that no matter how powerful the Qin people's crossbow arrows are, they are just a moment of madness. Whichever one breaks through the crossbow formation first, all the cities in Guanzhong except Chang'an will be dealt with by them." Mao Dun sullenly , shouted and ordered.

Uncharacteristically, Li Yuan dispatched the most powerful crossbowmen at the beginning of the battle, which was unexpected by Maodu. However, the Qin army fought with such a strong formation, which was also in line with Maodu's previous judgment.

In the Qin camp.

The lack of troops forced Li Yuan to fight with the best of his troops. This bluff, if other opponents were replaced, might be scared off by the Qin army's crossbow array, but he would not.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

The Xiongnu coalition army is composed of more than 4 large and small tribes, among them the big one is like Helianbi.Reaching a scale of [-] to [-] people, and more small tribes with only about a thousand people, these small tribes attached to them will often rush to fight. If the army is such a tough bone, then the fighting will of these Huns will quickly drop.

Mao Dun's practice of encouraging people with heavy rewards is precisely to prevent this.

At the fence of the Qin Army.

The fort fifty paces ahead had been filled with flesh and blood by the Huns. A blood-stained Hun Qianchang leaned against the stake, his eyes wide open, and his right hand pointed straight ahead.It seems to be calling for the soldiers under his command to move forward, but if you take a closer look at his lower body, you will be shocked to find that his two legs have long since disappeared. In other words, his upper body is still in a charging state. The Qianlong of the Huns, in fact, has no vitality.

Compared to the losses of the Huns.

On the side of the Qin army, the casualties of the first-line troops with infantry and crossbowmen as the main guards were mainly concentrated in close combat, at this point.The defensive side is always more advantageous than the offensive side.

Two hours.

In the tense and fierce battlefield confrontation, Zhou Ping standing on the high platform only felt that a moment had passed, and when the order to retreat was issued, his body was so soft that he felt that even the strength to come down no longer existed.If it weren't for the support of his left and right soldiers, Zhou Ping, who had a hoarse voice, might be surrounded by the Huns.

The Qin army retreated!

Let the Huns who were blocked from attacking from all sides cheered bursts of cheers. The order of the Great Chanyu Modun had spread to all ministries, and the Qin people were only resisting on the front line.There are not many troops in the real camp, because their most elite vanguard troops have been attracted to the south by the Helian tribe——.

good news.The small tribes of the Xiongnu were ecstatic, and Maodun's promise was only a long-term plan, and what was placed in front of them was the mountain of luggage in the Qin army's camp.

Unlike the Qin army, which was uniformly responsible for logistics and supplies by the state, the various tribes of the Huns were still at the stage of self-sufficiency. Provide necessary material support.

A soldier of the Xiongnu on an expedition must have three strong horses and the necessary equipment at the very least. As for the rations of the soldiers, they mainly rely on looting and hunting. This self-supply logistics method makes the Huns Soldiers have to calculate the harvest while fighting, and their combat effectiveness becomes up and down.

Therefore, for the tribes of the Xiongnu who were short of supplies, Qin State was like a rich man with a huge sum of money, as long as a little leaked through the cracks of his fingers, these small tribes could be filled.

Attack, attack again!

Killing all the resisting Qin people, taking the captives to Mobei as slaves, and grabbing the most important supply warehouse in the Qin camp before other tribes, the Huns soldiers stared red one by one.In their eyes, there were no Qin people, only their companions who were fighting for merit.

——.

The Qin army retreated to the second line of defense.

This is a special mobile defensive formation composed of ditches and chariots. Li Yuan, who had seen trench warfare in later generations, ordered his soldiers to dig a circular deep ditch in the battalion and protrude it with sharpened wooden stakes at the bottom. As for the excavated soil, it was piled up in the inner circle. In this way, the Qin army was artificially formed in a condescending posture.

The Huns cavalry entered the camp.

With the shrinking of the territory, the advantages of riding speed cannot be brought into play, and if the tactics of crowds are used to fight for consumption, the Qin army will have deep trenches to protect them, unless the Huns are once again like the first fence, using their lives to kill Filled the ravine.

Crowd tactics.

This extremely cruel method of warfare tested the limits of human nature.

After a battle, it’s good to be able to use it once. If it continues like this for the second time, the general who gave the order may be plotted against by the soldiers. Anyway, on the battlefield, anything can happen. It is also common to shoot one's own general.

Without any choice.

The leaders of the tribes of the Xiongnu had no choice but to order the soldiers to collect stuffing everywhere, and then risked the crossbow arrows of the Qin army to throw the stuffing into the gully. The arrow rain offensive.

As long as the gully is filled, the defeated Qin army hiding inside will be nothing.As for the series of chariots placed by the Qin army on the opposite side, the Huns didn't pay much attention to them. This shape is like a vehicle transporting baggage, but they are just slow targets. They can be burned with just a fire. clean.

Deep ditch vertical and horizontal.

However, the Huns don't have to fill up the trenches in every place. They only need to fill in a few offensive channels to enter the Qin army's defensive line.

Victory is imminent.

The morale of the Xiongnu tribe was greatly boosted, especially the heads of the small tribes, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, desperately calling the soldiers of their tribe to charge forward.

——.

Zhong Limei was wearing a red cloak, holding a bronze saber in his hand, and calmly looked at the Huns soldiers who were busy like ants. At this time, the moon had already started to set, and the dawn of a new day was coming.

For a long time.

Zhong Limei never straightened his body as he did today. In this regard, Zhong Limei followed Li Yuan's example to a certain extent. He was nothing but proud.

The pride and pride of being a general defending the country against foreign captives and a hot-blooded man.

The crossbowmen had completed their task, and then, the chariot unit commanded by Zhong Limei was about to set foot on the battlefield. However, the task of this unit was not to attack, but to defend.

The soil in the gully has been filled by soldiers of the Qin army to form a slope. Zhongli Mo's chariot is located on the top of the slope, and their existence is a natural barrier for the Qin army on the defending side.In contrast, the Huns cavalry need to attack upwards to kill their opponents. Their horses cannot speed up, and the sight and range of bows and arrows will gradually lose their effect as fatigue increases.

The chariot, a sharp weapon used to gallop freely in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, has been washed away by time, and its original role has been lost. However, under certain conditions, it can play an unexpected role.After accepting General Li Yuan's order and becoming the general of the chariot troop, Zhong Limei hurriedly trained his soldiers, mainly focusing on the coordination between shield soldiers and chariots. In addition, how to cooperate with the mysterious troop of the Tianlei Army to fight.

Because of his familiarity with Tianlei, Wu Wang Li Yuan did his part this time and took on the role of general of the Tianlei Army, and one of Peng Sheng's apprentices, Du Chun, cooperated with him in commanding the gunpowder loading.

Du Chun is also a native of Peng County, Shu County, and he and Peng Sheng grew up together as childhood friends. However, the two of them are now in a master-student relationship. If they didn't have enough trust, Peng Sheng wouldn't have given him up. The secret of painstaking research was told to him.

"Du Chun, you listened, after the Huns pass the trench, don't throw thunder for now, wait for my war drums to sound, and then throw thunder." Li Yuan instructed.

"King Wu, don't worry, my subordinates will understand." Du Chun nodded and replied.

Li Yuan looked at Du Chun's expression, and found that although the man from Shu County looked a little uneasy, he was quite calm. To be able to have such a performance in the first battle, Du Chun was even better than Peng Sheng. Bloody, Peng Sheng's first battle was in Jushui when he confronted the thugs. That time he was so frightened that he almost couldn't even ignite the fire.

After enduring for a long time.

Li Yuan is finally ready to sacrifice the most mysterious and powerful weapon currently equipped by the Qin army, with black powder as the core, supplemented by bits and pieces in clay pots. The effect is not only to kill and kill how many enemy soldiers, but more importantly, it has a frightening effect.

Compared with cold weapons such as crossbows, knives and guns, Tianlei does not need to contact the enemy head-on, and even the most basic aiming of the machine crossbow can be omitted. Just throw a suitable arc with force, and then wait to hear the wailing of the enemy soldiers That's it. (To be continued..)
