"Their weapons and combat power are much stronger than the Huns who attacked Shanggu County a few years ago." Fusu was secretly worried, "Will we be the opponents of these people? There is no city here that can be defended." But as the coach, Fusu can't speak out his worries, otherwise the morale of the whole army will plummet.

After the Huns ran a little closer, the second wave of crossbow arrows from the Fusu army also shot out, but this time the damage was obviously not as good as last time. Those Huns blocked the crossbow arrows with leather shields, and even had riding skills Alright, I moved right away to avoid the incoming arrows.

The enemy is getting closer and closer. From Fusu's point of view, everyone can only shoot two more arrows at most, and the enemy will rush to him. Once the soldiers meet, Fusu is not sure whether his soldiers can deal with these fierce Huns people.

At this time, Han Xin suddenly said: "Everyone shoots at their horses. Their leather shields are not big enough to cover themselves and their horses."

"Shoot people first, shoot horses! Yes, everyone aims at the enemy's horses!" Han Xin woke Fusu up with a word, and he followed suit.

Another round of crossbow arrows was shot out, this time the target was no longer the Huns warriors, but the horses they stepped off.Sure enough, the Huns could not use their leather shields to help their horses block the arrows. Hundreds of horses were hit by the arrows at the same time and fell heavily to the ground. The knights on the horses were also thrown out due to inertia.

The Huns at the back saw the opponent suddenly shoot their horses, and they were startled, and their speed slowed down. This gave Fusu Fang an extra chance to release arrows, and another batch of arrows were shot out, and more than a hundred arrows shot out again. A horse fell.

But then, the Huns no longer hesitated, they had already killed the Fusu Army, and it was too late for the Fusu Army to fire the next crossbow.

"Kill!" With a cry, the cavalry in the Fusu Army also charged forward with their spears and broadswords, and the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides began.

In the back, Legan saw that nearly 500 of his soldiers fell under the opponent's arrow rain, and he hated him, because he can't replenish his manpower now, and now his cavalry is still there. If he didn't kill the opponent, he didn't know how many soldiers would die in the opponent's hands later.So he hurriedly followed the archers beside him and rushed forward to fight back.His team of about 2 people only had less than [-] bows and arrows, which were saved after all his efforts. Originally, he didn't plan to send these people to fight, but after seeing how powerful the Fusu Army was, he decided to Had to use them.

As expected, the Huns grew up on horseback. Although they didn't have saddles and stirrups, they freed their hands with their superb riding skills, and then bent their bows and set up arrows to shoot at the Fusu army.

Fortunately, Fusu had already made preparations and used chariots to form a barrier at the front of the army. Most of the bows and arrows were shot on the chariot's body, and the damage to the soldiers was very limited.At this time, the two armies had already met, and the Huns behind them did not dare to shoot arrows for a while.

What the Huns didn't expect was that the cavalrymen of the Fusu army who were facing them were holding long weapons such as spears, daggers and broadswords. Before they could kill them, the opponent's weapons had already reached them. They immediately fell into a passive position.

At this moment, the sharpness of the cavalry that Fusu focused on training showed. They relied on the stirrups under their feet to keep their bodies firmly on the horse, and their hands were naturally freed. The weapons in their hands were twice as long as the enemy's. Not only that, but they can also attack the Huns with all their strength without having to pay attention to whether they will fall off their horses. After a while, they gained the advantage in the situation and began to countercharge the Huns.

The morale of the whole army was immediately raised, and all the soldiers rushed out from the gaps in the chariots to attack the Huns who had been a little scared in their hearts.Fusu and Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief seeing this scene. It seemed that the Huns' cavalry were not invincible.

But the situation is not as optimistic as Fusu imagined. At the beginning, because they were not used to the attack of Fusu army's long weapons, the Xiongnu cavalry gradually regained their confidence. Their ability on horseback is still better than that of the Central Plains people. Yes, even if they have the aid of saddles and stirrups, compared with the Huns who grew up on horseback, the Central Plains people are still inferior.

The knights of the Huns were doing all kinds of dizzying movements on their horses. They easily avoided the weapons that were stabbing them. It pierced the enemy's chest, or slashed at the opponent's vital parts.In this way, the two sides appeared in a stalemate state, and some people were killed by the enemy constantly, and the murderer was immediately killed by other enemies.For a while, screams and the sound of weapons clashing resounded throughout the world.

"It seems impossible for our army to completely suppress these Huns." Fusu said with a worried face, "If too many people are sacrificed here, our plan will be abandoned."

Han Xin looked at the vigorous figure of the Huns on the horse, and sighed: "I have always been a Hun and I am not very good. The cavalry in Shangjun is already strong in my eyes, but today I know that the cavalry is so sharp. At this time, he suddenly saw the useless chariot in front of him, and said suddenly: "Prince, why don't we use chariots to attack them? The role of chariots should be greater than that of cavalry on this flat ground."

Fusu sent an order, one after another the chariots were harnessed to the horses, and the imperial hands, swordsmen, and crossbowmen also boarded the chariots one after another. With the sound of friction between the wheels and the ground, the chariots rushed out .Because the swordsmen were standing in the chariot, they were more flexible than those on horseback, and the crossbowmen also had a more stable performance. Wherever the chariot went, they immediately killed a group of Huns' cavalry.The chariots plowed through the Huns like plows, leaving corpses and blood all over the ground.

Seeing the power of the opponent's chariot, Le Guin began to be afraid, knowing that if he went on, he would only lose more of his property, so he resolutely blew the horn to retreat, and the Huns cavalry began to retreat.

The speed of the chariot was indeed inferior to that of the horse, and it was pulled away by the Huns cavalry for a long time. The knights in the Fusu army did not dare to fight the Huns on horseback, so they had to watch them retreat.

After withdrawing troops, Fusudian side lost more than 3000 people this time, and nearly 2000 people have lost the ability to fight, and they lost 5000 people in just one battle. "Now there are only [-] people, and there will be no more mistakes in the future." Fusu warned himself.

The army continued to go to Xianyang, but the atmosphere in the army was different from the previous days.But the unexpected things didn't stop. Presumably those Huns were dissatisfied with being defeated by themselves, so there were always hundreds of cavalry wandering around the army, and whenever they had the opportunity, they would suddenly attack the Fusu army. When people came to look for them, they fled far away.Because of their constraints, the Fusu Army's marching speed was much slower, and now Fusu already has the idea of ​​​​giving up on this operation.

"Prince, I think this raid is going to fail." Han Xin said to Fusu when he camped for a rest at night.

"I also have this feeling, but you can help me analyze the reason." Fusu looked into the dark and said, not knowing when a small group of cavalry from the Huns would come out to harass him again.

"After fighting all the way, our army's vigor was exhausted before reaching Xianyang. This is one of them;" Han Xin looked at the surrounding soldiers who were cooking and continued, "Second, it seems that this Xiongnu The cavalry has been around us, if they are still there in Xianyang, they will definitely attack me when we attack Xianyang, and then we will be attacked by the enemy. So I suggest that we go back."

Hearing his second point, Fusu thought of his failure in Taiyuan County. That time he was defeated because he underestimated the Qin soldiers in the city. This time, he must not repeat the same mistakes.Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement and said, "Your analysis is very reasonable. It seems that we have to give up this raid and rush back to Beidi County."

The army finally decided to return to Beidi County when it was less than three days away from Xianyang. The world is so unpredictable.

At this time, Meng Tian, ​​who was attacking outside Shangdang County, also noticed something strange: "Last time, they only had 5 horses and dared to take the initiative to attack. Wang Li, who has 2 more horses, should be more active. But why have they stood still these days? Could it be that they have noticed our strategy?" Thinking of this, Meng Tian's heart skipped a beat, "If they really noticed our strategy and sent troops back, the number of troops here will definitely decrease. Naturally, they will not take the initiative to attack us again, and the prince will be in danger."

In order to test the reality of the city, Meng Tian began to send troops to attack Shangdang City.But Qin Bing guarded tightly and didn't give him any chance to take advantage of it. But at the same time, Qin Bing didn't go out of the city to fight back.

This made Meng Tian confirm his judgment even more, and he couldn't help becoming a little anxious. If Fusu was flanked by the Qin soldiers who came behind him when he attacked Xianyang, he might be in danger of annihilated. But he is now on the top. The party has no way of knowing the actions of the Soviet Union, so it has to be anxious.

Bai Ban led 3 horses and Xingye back to Xianyang. When he arrived in Xianyang City and saw that nothing had changed, he was relieved, but then he thought of his defeat in Chudi and wondered what would happen to him. penalty.

The next day, he entered the palace, facing the silent Hu Hai, he felt even more uneasy.

After hearing that he gave Zhao Changke all the blame for the defeat in the battle, Zhao Gao couldn't sit still, and he hurriedly said: "Emperor, this is all Bai Ban's one-sided remarks, and it is only because Zhao Changke is dead that all the responsibilities are taken away." If it comes to him, I hope the emperor will investigate further."
