I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 118 The confrontation is over!

Standing on the flag tower, he saw that the Qiang army had less than 500 cavalrymen, and the rest were all infantry.

After seeing that these Qiang cavalry and infantry had been lined up for a long time, they were still chaotic and mixed when they charged forward, and even looked more like a rogue formation fighting on their own, Liu Ju almost saw the outcome of this battle.

What will follow will surely be a crushing battle, even though the Han army has only 15,000 soldiers and the Qiang people have as many as 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers.

It is no wonder that in history Li Xi and Xu Ziwei led an army of 100,000 to attack.

The final result was that 100,000 Qiang people fled westward. There was no record of any casualties, and no one was rewarded for this battle.

That's the obvious thing.

The gap in strength between the two sides was too great. No matter how arrogant the Qiang people were, even if their eyes were on top of their heads, they would never dare to engage in a head-on battle with the Han army of equal strength.

This time if Li Xi and Xu Ziwei had not adopted his "happy" strategy.

Most of the troops were hidden to encircle the rear, and the remaining troops were divided into two.

After the Qiang people received the news that the 100,000-strong Han army was approaching, they would certainly have packed their bags and fled westward immediately, just as described in the history books, and Li Xi and Xu Ziwei would not be able to catch up with them even if they rode their horses hard.

In this way, there will naturally be no such surprise attack.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The flag bearer who was standing on the flag tower suddenly changed the flag in his hand, raised it high and waved it left and right.

Liu Ju knew.

This means that the military order has been transmitted from the central army platform through flag signals, and the flag bearer will convey the military order to the soldiers in front of the battlefield in the same way.

……

"The Qiang people are coming... the Qiang people are coming... the Qiang people are coming..."

"What to do? What to do? What to do……"

In a moment, the Qiang army had rushed to within two miles of the chariots in the front. Gongsun Jingsheng could clearly see the dark crowd and hear the deafening shouts of killing.

At this moment, his legs were shaking and his teeth were chattering.

He even had an extremely strong urge to urinate.

Now he really wanted to drop the weapon in his hand and turn around and run, but he didn't dare. The supervision team was not far behind him. Even if he was a lieutenant, retreating now would only lead to death.

And he would not forget the admonition given by his father Gongsun He before he left:
"Even if you have to die, you must die on the city wall. If you die under the sword of the supervisor because of cowardice, our Gongsun family will never be able to hold our heads up again!"

This is no longer just his problem, but the problem of the Gongsun family.

Although Gongsun Jingsheng knew that he was not a good person, he was still clear-headed about the matter and would never dare to do such a thing.

at this time.

"General, I, I'm afraid..."

The young exiled soldier holding a shield in front of him had already turned pale and even his lips had lost their color. When he turned around and cried to him in a trembling voice, a strong smell of urine hit him in the face.

Gongsun Jingsheng suddenly regained his composure and subconsciously looked at the crotch of the exiled soldier.

It was only then that he discovered that the crotch of the exiled soldier's trousers had already been wet, and urine was dripping down from it.

"Everyone is afraid, even Nai Weng is afraid!"

Gongsun Jingsheng got so excited that he almost blurted out what he wanted to say: he was almost going to pee his pants.

However, the words of this young exiled soldier made him feel the dependence revealed in his words, and made him realize that after spending some time together, he had become the backbone of this group of people.

An inexplicable burden had been placed on his shoulders, making him dare not and unable to collapse easily. Even if he had to pretend, he had to pretend.

"Listen to me, Naiweng. If you are afraid, hold your shield tightly and hold the Qiang people at bay!"

"As long as the big shield doesn't fall, the Qiang people won't be able to rush in. If the Qiang people can't rush in, the halberd soldiers and the Jue Zhang soldiers behind us will be able to kill them. As long as the Qiang people are dead, we won't have to die!"

"Remember this, Naiweng. This big shield is your life. What you are holding up now is your life!"

……

close!

The Qiang army had already rushed to within two miles of the camp.

"Charge! Let's teach the Han army how powerful our Western Qiang warriors are!"

Although the two Qiang leaders were not on their own, they were rushing forward enough at this moment.

This kind of tribal group is more similar to a wolf pack in some ways. The leader of a group relies more on his prestige within the group to lead his people. Therefore, even if he does not lead the way in many things, he must set an example.

"kill!!!"

The roars of the two Qiang leaders inspired the tribesmen and their morale was instantly boosted.

However, during the charge, none of them noticed.

The Xiongnu captain named Wukun rode a horse like their two leaders, but he had quietly fallen behind at some point and was nowhere to be found. At this point, no one cared about these details anymore.

Closer!
The Qiang army still charged towards the Han camp with high morale.

Seeing that the Han army not only did not take the initiative to fight, but instead all relied on the chariots lined up in a row and remained motionless, the Qiang people thought that the Han army was afraid and cowardly.

After all, they had a total of 80,000 people, while the Han army had only 15,000.

What kind of advantage is this?
Considering their number, if every one of them just urinated, they might be able to drown the Han army to death. How could the Han army not be afraid and cowardly!
"Kill!!!"

Getting closer!

One mile.

Three hundred steps.

Two hundred steps.

One hundred and fifty steps.

One hundred and twenty steps...

"Boo! Hah! Hah!  …"

Suddenly, a series of dense sounds of breaking through the air were heard in the Han army camp.

"?!"

The Qiang people were familiar with this sound. Not only did they make a living by herding, they also often hunted, and there were many archers with excellent shooting skills in their army.

Therefore, they knew very well how far the bow could shoot. Even if it was a good bow, this might not be enough to reach the range.

But the next moment.

A dense rain of arrows had rushed up into the sky, falling like a swarm of locusts, and was heading straight for their faces.

Little did they know that this distance was enough for the Han army's soldiers to raise their crossbows and shoot directly!

The reason for choosing to shoot from below is that there are so many Qiang people at this moment that there is no need to aim...

"How many archers are hidden in this Han army camp?"

Many Qiang people who were rushing in the front had no time to even think of this before they were nailed to the ground.

Most of the Qiang people had no armor, and the best they had was leather armor like the Huns', which was absolutely unable to withstand the powerful crossbows of the Han people.

The original momentum of the charge was slowed down by this wave of arrows.

The two Qiang leaders immediately raised their swords and shouted:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The Han army will take a break when drawing their bows and shooting arrows. We can break through the formation by rushing over. Kill!!!"

"Kill... eh?"

Just as Dang Ji, the leader of the Laozu Qiang, finished shouting this, a strange sound suddenly came out of his mouth, accompanied by a sharp sound breaking through the air.

Nacuo, the leader of the Fengyang Qiang, turned his head in confusion.

However, an arrow that was longer and thicker than an ordinary arrow had pierced Dangji's chest, and the arrowhead was more than five inches protruding from his back. Bright red blood was dripping along the arrowhead.

"What's this?!"

Nacuo was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat!
He and Dang Ji were now two hundred steps away from the Han army camp. What kind of strong bow could have such a long range? !
next second.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!  …"

The second wave of arrows has arrived, and such a brief pause cannot be called a break at all.

at the same time.

Eight hundred heavily armored cavalry suddenly appeared on the hillside in the south.

"kill!"

At the command, eight hundred heavily armored cavalry formed a curved formation and charged towards the flank of the Qiang army like a steel torrent.

……

"it's over……"

When seeing this scene, Liu Ju had secretly put the lid on the coffin of this battle in his heart, and also nailed a few nails on it to bury his descendants.

Strong man.

It really lives up to its reputation!

　Thanks to Mr. [Wuyin Guke] for his reward and support.
