Chapter 264 Shooting Zuo Xianwang
"Slow, slow, still slow!"
"The whole army obeys the order and removes the heavy armor, but all bows and crossbows are carried regardless of the severity!"
"The whole army is in quick pursuit, and we must stop the Xiongnu army before they return to the depths of the grassland!"
At the edge of the grassland, more than 13,000 Qin troops, led by Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Chen Tang, and Gongsun Bogui, were chasing forward along the horseshoe prints on the grassland.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing still felt a little dissatisfied seeing the speed of Qin Jun's iron riding, which was already considered to be fast and maneuverable.
Because according to such a speed, it is impossible for the army to intercept the Huns before they returned to the main force of the alien race last night.
In fact, Wei Qing also understood that the Golden Fire Cavalry had not yet reached the Great Wall.
The existing Northern Army cavalry could not meet all the combat needs at all.
Although the Northern Army's iron cavalry weapons and equipment are powerful, they are too cumbersome.
In desperation, Wei Qing had no choice but to issue an order for the Qin army's iron cavalry to abandon the heavy armor they were wearing, and the whole army to speed up.
Under the continuous issuance of the general order, more than 13,000 Qin Jun iron cavalry took off their heavy armor.
The armor kept falling off to the ground, and there was a crisp sound of armor colliding.
In fact, the soldiers of Baima Yicong didn't need to take off the armor they wore because of their strong physical fitness, but the horses of Baima Yicong couldn't bear it.
Although the horses that Baima Yicong rides are all excellent horses from the grasslands.
But after all, they are still ordinary horses, and they are still unable to support the full-speed maneuvering of the Qin cavalry and the combat requirements of Wei Qing.
In this way, 10,000 cavalrymen in black robes and 3,000 cavalry in white robes started to run wildly with weapons in hand.
Instead of looking like cavalry, it looked like a motley army of civilians.
...
On the muddy grassland caused by the heavy rain last night, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu was leading tens of thousands of cavalry of the Xiongnu slowly forward.
But the direction of advance should be the direction of the 1.8 million prairie alien coalition forces.
It seems that King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu was preparing to retreat to the depths of the grassland after the sneak attack in order to join the main army of the grassland.
"Your Majesty, why is our army moving so slowly? Isn't Your Majesty not afraid that the Qin army will cross the Great Wall to chase and kill you?"
Next to the Xiongnu Zuo Xianwang, a Huns commander said that he was a little worried about the slow speed of the army.
I was afraid that the main force of the Qin army would cross the Great Wall and kill, and it would be troublesome at that time.
"Hmph, chase?"
"Huaxia people are all cowards. Does the Qin army have the courage to cross the Great Wall to chase and kill me?"
"If you don't say no, what if you say yes, then this king will let the Qin army come and go!"
King Zuo Xian snorted coldly, and his tone suddenly showed disdain, and he absolutely did not believe that Qin Jun had the courage to cross the Great Wall to chase and kill.
"But……"
"No need to say any more, pass on this king's order, the army marches slowly, don't worry, it should be able to join the army of Shan Yu and King Donghu tomorrow."
The Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang waved his hand, interrupted the words the commander wanted to continue, and ordered.
"As ordered!"
Many Xiongnu commanders said in unison, but some Xiongnu generals always had an inexplicable worry in their hearts and looked uneasy.
...
dong dong dong-
The horse stepped like thunder, and the Huns, who were slowly advancing on the grassland at this time, suddenly felt that the ground was gradually shaking.
And the intensity is getting higher and higher, and what is even more frightening is that these Huns heard sounds that they didn't want to hear at all.
The slow march of our own troops was impossible to create such a scene that could only be produced by such a terrifying cavalry assault.
And at such a speed, it is impossible to produce such a powerful hoof sound.
Then there is only one possibility...
"Qin Jun, Qin Jun is here..."
...
"The Qin army is attacking, the whole army is ready to fight!"
One after another, the sound of panic came one after another in the Xiongnu army.
No one thought that under the pressure of the heavy rain overnight and the imminent army coming under the city.
The Qin army dared to lead the army across the Great Wall to chase and kill for the first time. In the face of the sudden surge of pressure, the Xiongnu army suddenly became a mess.
"The whole army stops advancing, and don't enter the range of the Xiongnu bows and arrows!"
With an order from Wei Qing, Bai Ma Yi stopped instantly from the three thousand soldiers. The momentum was like a mountain, and the distance between them was almost the same, just like nature.
And although the 10,000 Qin army iron cavalry also appeared to advance and retreat in an orderly manner, at first glance they were elite divisions, but in comparison with the white horses, they were much worse.
In an instant, more than 13,000 Qin army cavalry stopped in the area that was a hundred paces away from the range of the Xiongnu bows and arrows, and did not go any further.
"The army of bowmen launched and shot the Xiongnu army freely!"
At this moment, Wei Qing ordered again, and the Qin army crossbowmen, who numbered more than 4,000, immediately took out bows and crossbows from behind or on horseback.
After bending the bow and taking the arrow, he raised it to the sky and shot at the Xiongnu army.
"Ah, Qin people are really hateful."
...
"Your Majesty, fight back. The range of Qin's bow and crossbow is too far, and our army's bow and arrow can't reach the opponent at all!"
Under the terrible rain of arrows, the Huns were miserable.
...
Immediately, the Xiongnu army was overturned by the rain of swords.
Hun cavalrymen were continuously shot off their horses, and some even their horses were shot to death.
In fact, the Qin army was also exposed to the light of the bow and crossbow produced by Da Qin. The Qin bow and crossbow not only had a long range, but also had great power.
Otherwise, Wei Qing would not be able to give the order to stop the army outside the range of the Xiongnu bow and arrow, and rely on the Qin bow and Qin crossbow to shoot the Xiongnu army.
"The Qin people are so deceiving. Everyone charges with me and fights the Qin army hand-to-hand!"
At this time, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu issued an order that could be called the most stupid order so far, and he even wanted to brave the rain of powerful arrows to rush towards the Qin army and fight the Qin army hand-to-hand.
Under the leadership of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, the remaining seven or eight thousand Huns cavalry beat their horses and charged towards the Qin army who stayed a mile away.
...
"Bring the bow!"
At the front of the Qin army, looking at the Hun cavalry rushing towards him, Huo Qubing stretched out his left hand and shouted in a deep voice.
Without saying a word, a white horse righteous soldier gave the longbow in his hand to Huo Qubing.
I saw Huo Qubing bent the bow and took the arrow, leaned back, and directly pulled the strong bow out of a full moon, facing the northwest, and aimed the arrow directly at King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.
"You are unlucky, the enemy in front of China will be killed by my own hands!"
Huo Qubing's eyes were indifferent, his arm loosened, and the arrow from the string suddenly rushed out, attacking the Xiongnu Zuo Xian King with the momentum of breaking the air.
King Zuo Xian of the Huns, who was rushing towards the Qin army on horseback, suddenly felt his eyes swayed by something, and instinctively stretched out his left hand to resist the cold light in front of him.
"Your Majesty..."
...
"Be careful, Your Majesty."
...
King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu, who had blocked his sight, didn't see it.
However, many Hun commanders were not blind, so they naturally saw the arrows flying through the air, and hurriedly warned.
