Chapter 825 Who else dares to fight
Although the confrontation between the Yuezhi army seemed to be strong, many soldiers were actually nervous and uneasy, even the Yuezhi King and many leaders.
As the Iron Cavalry of the Great Qin conquered the powerful Xiongnu and Donghu within a year with lightning speed, the two wars massacred more than 100,000 people from the Huns and Hu, captured 300,000 to 400,000 cattle, sheep and horses. In other words, the foundation accumulated by the Huns and Hus over hundreds of years was almost completely eliminated by the Qin Dynasty. Almost all the strongest soldiers of the Huns and Hus, and the rest were women, children, young and old. Now they were forcibly migrated by the Qin army to hundreds of miles near the borders of several counties in the northeast and northwest to grazing, and they had no ability or opportunity to resist at all.
According to the terrifying description of the Huns who fled, the Qin army was completely a group of fierce and bloodthirsty beasts that could not be stopped at all. The battle outside the Hetao in the ice and snow completely crushed the last bit of courage and confidence of the Huns. The two Hun nobles who fled into the Yuezhi were completely scared and were still crying in horror in their dreams. One of them was now crazy. In the winter, they did not want to sleep in the yurt tent, but had to hide in the sheep pen and hug the sheep before they could fall asleep.
And I can't mention the word "Da Qin" with them, and I will tremble all over when I mention it.
The Yuezhi people were originally very afraid of the powerful Central Plains princes and became even more frightened under the influence of the Huns. Therefore, the Yuezhi king ordered that all Yuezhi tribes on the border migrate northwest, and no one was allowed to approach the border of the Qin Dynasty, and even the caravans were allowed to trade with the Qin Dynasty, for fear that someone would fight with the Qin people in the Central Plains and anger the emperor.
But they were very cautious and did not provoke the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty actually sent people. Although there were only 300 people, they did not dare to be careless at all, because as long as they dared to kill these 300 people, there would probably be 300,000 troops to avenge them later.
The more than 6,000 people in front of him were almost the most elite guards of the Yuezhi people, and more than 1,000 of them were personal guards brought by the leaders of other tribes.
But even though the number of people is so huge, the Yuezhi King still dared not take action.
Because the momentum and majestic and neat formation shown by these mere three hundred people are very different from the most elite guards of the royal court under him. The people on his side are all barbaric and fierce, but the formation is loose and the discipline is loose. Even if the commanding army rushes forward, according to the description of the Huns, the Yuezhi people will definitely have to end with a tragic victory.
In the extremely nervous and quiet confrontation between the two sides, watching the Qin army suddenly move, the entire Yuezhi army became nervous in an instant, and some people couldn't help but shoot the arrow in their hands.
"Stop~~" Zuo Ping, who was standing beside the Yuezhi King, shouted nervously, but how could the formation that lasted for several miles be restrained? As the sparse arrows shot out, a Yuezhi warrior had already rushed out of the camp and killed the Qin army.
"Don't be impatient!" The King of Yuezhi reached out and grabbed his younger brother, "It is said that the Qin army is as fierce as a tiger. Today I happened to take the opportunity to see their strength!"
"Brother Wang, if the conflict is out of control, there may be a big disaster!" King Zuo Ping said anxiously.
"Don't worry, Brother Wang has his own sense!" The Yuezhi King shook his head with a serious expression.
"It's over~" Li Shun sat down with his butt trembling all over.
The captain raised his spear nervously. Seeing the group of Yuezhi soldiers with five or six hundred people coming, he couldn't wait for Li Shun's orders. He pointed forward without hesitation and roared and shot.
"Bang bang bang bang~~"
The orders of the three hundred imperial guards were prohibited, and they almost immediately released the bowstring when they heard the order.
"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish~~"
The pitch-black arrow flew out in the bright sunlight, and the sharp arrows tear the air and made a clear and audible sound toward the oncoming Yuezhi people.
"Puff puff puff puff puff~~"
The Yuezhi soldiers rushing in front were shot into arrows, letting out a shrill scream and falling off the horse's back. At the same time, the war horses that were shot neighed and fell to the ground and struggled. Then some of the war horses that were attacking were bypassed by someone and jumped by someone, and some couldn't stop and stepped on the war horses and their companions who fell to the ground and lost control. The scene was instantly panicked.
"Strike out in one and two towns!" The captain waved his gun and yelled again.
"Kill~~" A hundred general raised the long-handed sword in his hand and rushed out. The two camp leaders and one hundred imperial guards behind him also hung their bows and pulled out their sabers and rushed out immediately.
To be honest, this distance is very unfavorable to the Qin army, because they are only one mile apart, and the war horses cannot start at the fastest speed, so they cannot generate the maximum impact energy. However, a group of imperial guards were fiercely fighting on the battlefield. They knocked on stirrups without fear. Under the stimulation of the blunt piercing, the war horses neighed and ran wildly, and the saber in the imperial guards also began to swing, using the horse power and speed to generate the maximum lethality.
"King, why waste it so much? Just order a volley. These few hundred Qin troops will die!" King Nantu said in confusion.
"Tunan, I have my own opinions. Do you need your reminder again and again?" The King of Yuezhi snorted coldly, raised his hand and ordered, "As long as I order, I will restrict anyone under me from acting rashly."
"Yes!" A group of people around agreed at the same time.
At one mile distance, both sides were riding horses, so in just two minutes, the two were already close.
This is not a harassment war but a head-on conflict. The light crossbow has lost too much effect. The experienced imperial guards all fight with swords and close-fitting. With the blessing of sharp and tough steel weapons and stirrup saddles, although the Qin army started a little slowly, its power was far beyond the power that these hundreds of loosely disciplined Yuezhi people could resist.
Therefore, in the moment when the two sides converge, the winner has already appeared. The long sword wheel in the hands of the hundred generals who rushed in the front was drawing a huge semicircle. The sharp sword light shone in the sun. The sharp blade passed by the body of the rushing Yuezhi people. With the sound of puffing, blood light burst into the air. With the sound of shrill screams, one after another of the Yuezhi soldiers were loaded from the horse's back. Following the hundred generals, the hundred imperial guards had already swung the sabers and strangled the Yuezhi people together. The sword light and sword shadows rose one after another, and the blood light gushed out in the air like a fountain. The broken limbs and arms and even the round heads flew across the sky, and the screams were endless. The injured war horse neighed and trampled on the master who was falling on the ground.
"Die~"
The hundred generals held a large sword more than meter long, slashing left and right like a tiger, like cutting grass men on the training ground, as if they were entering a no-man's land. They led the hundred imperial guards behind them like a group of tigers crashing into the flock of sheep. In just ten minutes, the two sides interlaced by, and the imperial guards drilled through the Yuezhi troops, leaving behind only a scene of people surging up and the Yuezhi soldiers rolling and crying on the ground.
Less than half a mile away was the Yuezhi people's army position, but the generals did not hesitate or fear at all. They pulled the reins back and waved their swords and turned around and led their subordinates into the panicked Yuezhi team again. The swords were flying left and right, and one head after another swelled with the light of the swords. One after another, the Yuezhi people's necks sprayed blood and fell down.
This time, the Yuezhi people no longer needed to hear the order, and they fled in fear. In just one confrontation, at least more than 200 people fell down. When the Qin army counterattacked again, everyone was scared to death. The Qin army was not only fierce, but also had no weapons at all. In the past, the bronze weapons that only the elites of the royal court could have been equipped with were vulnerable to the hands of the Qin soldiers. They broke or even shattered during the attack. Especially the one with the long sword was simply a god of killing. After one knife, they split into two pieces of people and weapons.
In less than twenty minutes, only a hundred Qin troops were left between the positions of both sides who were riding horses and slowly retreating. The leader of a powerful general holding a sword of more than meter long was pointed at the Yuezhi people's position with a long sword, shouting: "The Qin Dynasty is invincible in the battle, can you dare to come after the barbarians~~"
The Yuezhi people's position was extremely quiet, and they could only hear heavy breathing sounds. Even the war horse under his crotch was facing the blood-dropping sword and retreating anxiously.
A sharp and bloody smell drifted with the wind. On the battlefield that lasted for several miles, everyone in Yuezhi looked at the group of Great Qin soldiers who looked like gods of killing.
The old face of the Yuezhi King Cang twitched vigorously, and the expression with a slight majesty turned into fear. Even the leaders of the tribes who had just shouted to start a war with the Qin Dynasty and attacked the Central Plains were all panting and numb all over.
In an instant, nearly half of a tribe suffered casualties. At this time, none of the corpses and the injured were lying on the ground between the two sides were Qin Bing.
If the army was waving its troops to launch an attack at this time, the Qin soldiers with more than 300 people would definitely be slaughtered quickly.
"Who else dares to fight ~~"
The hundred generals roared their swords again. Although they were talking about Central Plains, they could be seen from his arrogant expression of anger that they were demonstrating to thousands of Yuezhi people and also challenging the Yuezhi King.
"Brother Wang, don't be impulsive!" King Zuo Ping tightly grabbed the Yuezhi King's robe.
The Yuezhi King was silent for a long time after watching the 100 Qin troops slowly retreating back to the camp, then he let out a long breath and gave a low voice: "Everyone put away their bows and arrows and dismounted!"
With a few low horn sounds, the Yuezhi army began to pack up their bows and arrows and dismount. Seeing this situation, the captain finally breathed a long breath, and slowly let go of his hand holding the spear, then rode his horse to Li Shun's carriage and said, "Mr. Li, the Huns seem to have been killed and have already taken off their troops."
"Very good, so good!"
