Chapter 677: You Can’t Retreat, Even if You Die!

Upon hearing Maodun's order, the Xiongnu leader didn't hesitate at all. He shouted and rushed out at the lead.

The guards around him also hurriedly followed.

Immediately afterwards, in the long Hun cavalry array, more and more cavalry left the large army and rushed over with their leader.

In the end, three thousand tribal cavalry, following the Xiongnu leader, formed a torrent of cavalry and rushed towards the Qin army on the edge of the Great Wall!

Modun's face became slightly serious at this time, and he led the people towards the front.

He wanted to see what the Qin army had to rely on, and how dare they come out of the Great Wall to fight them!

This time, he will tell the Qin people that the grassland will always be the battlefield of the grassland people!

Slowly approaching the Great Wall, Mao Dun's expression changed slightly. He seemed to have noticed something. Looking up towards the Great Wall, he had an inexplicable feeling.

The old enemy in my heart is right there!

At this time, on the Great Wall.

Meng Tianzheng and Zhao Lang were at the highest point of the Great Wall, watching the battle below.

Both of them were surrounded by guards.

Ordinarily, this is on the Great Wall, so there can't be any problems, and the Huns can't assassinate him in this situation.

But Meng Tian knew that these guards were not to prevent assassins, but to prevent Zhao Lang from participating in the war.

As for jumping, as long as Zhao Lang doesn't lose his mind, he won't jump here.

This experience was naturally told to him by his younger brother, Meng Yi.

Anyway, he would not let Zhao Lang go to the battlefield in person. He knew the situation in Da Qin very well now that Zhao Lang was such a stable heir.

More important than anything else.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, even if he lost the battle with the Huns this time.

As long as Zhao Lang is here, it will be easy for Da Qin to counterattack in three years.

And even if he wins this time, if Zhao Lang has any shortcomings, it will be a disaster for the entire Great Qin!

Therefore, even if Zhao Lang forced Han Xin to come, he would admit it. He would follow him anyway.

"Your Highness, General Han is really good at training his troops."

"These sergeants who were born as slaves are extremely orderly when running."

"And they gathered into a square formation so quickly, and also formed this spear formation, with a certain amount of advance and retreat, which is very good."

Looking at the fast-moving new Qin army below, Meng Tian couldn't help but say with some admiration.

Zhao Lang also nodded. Han Xin told him that these people only practiced these movements. These are all for the Huns. It is good if they can be useful!

Although Meng Tian didn't want the other party to fight this time, he still had to praise his merits. He just took a closer look at the sergeant below and asked quickly,

"Huh? But why do these people only have one long spear in their hands, and most of them are made of wood or bamboo? Is it because they were marching lightly just now?"

Generally speaking, Da Qin's sergeants will have a bronze or iron weapon on their body.

But most of these people only have one spear in their hands, a spear made of wood or bamboo, and a very few of them have bronze spear heads.

Zhao Lang said expressionlessly at this time,

"No, because these are the only weapons they have in their hands now."

Da Qin has been fighting for several years, and its previous reserves have almost been exhausted.

Even if the master craftsman went all out to manufacture them, it would be impossible to supply 150,000 slave recruits with weapons in such a short period of time. He could only simplify them together first.

Fortunately, these ordinary Huns do not have heavy armor on their bodies.

Furthermore, the role of these new troops was to slow down the Xiongnu cavalry and kill them. The well-equipped Qin border troops were responsible for this.

After hearing Zhao Lang's words, Meng Tian also realized something, and immediately said nothing more.

Military warfare is inherently cruel.

In the hearts of these generals, human lives can indeed be calculated.

After a while of silence, Meng Tian looked at the Hun cavalry rushing towards here not far away, and said with a bit of pity,

“Hopefully they’ll keep a few more Huns back.”

The Huns without speed will not be the opponent of the Qin army as long as their numbers are not too large.

Zhao Lang also looked at the battlefield under the Great Wall at this time.

At this time, countless Qin troops swarmed out from the city gate.

All the Qin troops who went out followed the countless drills they had trained along the way and found their positions one by one.

Then he punched the tail of the spear in his hand on the ground, and tilted the barrel upward, forming a forest of spears.

Looking nervously towards the other end of the grassland.

Because, there, a line of Hun cavalry that was countless times wider than during training was rushing towards them violently!

Just when everyone could hear each other swallowing, a steady voice sounded,

"Steady! Don't be nervous."

"Just like what we usually train, hold the gun barrel and these bastards will hit you by themselves!"

Everyone looked towards the voice and found that it was a Daqin officer with a rather big head.

It's just that the weapons in his hand are a little strange, they are a broken gun and an arrow.

Of course everyone knows him,

"Butou, aren't you afraid?"

Datou grinned at this time and said,

"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid either!"

"Those Huns look fierce, but they are still human beings, and they can be killed even if they are human beings!"

"If we kill one of them, we can move up a level, and then we will become nobles! Hahaha, we slaves will also become nobles one day!"

"How proud you are when you go back! Who dares to say that we are slaves! Slandering the nobles of Qin is a serious crime!"

Even if it is a first-class sergeant, it is still a title!

Hearing this, the others also laughed.

Although they joined the Qin army, in theory they already had the status of common people.

However, in the eyes of others, they are still slaves, and their old mindset is not easy to change.

Even within the Qin Army, the frontier troops and elites privately call them the slave army!

But if they really have a title, whoever dares to call them slaves can be punished directly!

Military title! Don't insult!

Soon, these words spread around.

For a time, there was an atmosphere of courage and courage among this group of people!

It's just that everyone's smiles didn't last long before they suddenly said with some frustration,

"What if you die?"

For a moment, everyone's laughter stopped.

Of course they have thought about this, and their chances of death are actually greater. Just look at the equipment in their hands. They also know that they are just cannon fodder.

They just don't want to talk about it.

At this time, Datou looked sharply at the place where the sound came from, and the guard shouted loudly,

"During military training, many brothers died, and you have seen how they were treated after death!"

"The family is divided into fields and houses! The fields are not good fields, and the houses are just wooden houses!"

"But think about it, when have we ever had this in our lives?"

"Is there any benefit to dying when I was a slave?! So what if I die here now?!"

In the next moment, everyone became more determined.

Yes, their lives are worthless anyway.

If you die here, you can still divide the fields and houses, so what if you die?

At this time, the centurion on the side also glanced at Datou with some surprise. Centurions are the backbone of the Qin army, not slaves.

He didn't expect that this big head, who had always performed well, could actually boost morale and cope with changes. This was extremely rare.

This is a good idea.

If the other party can survive this time, I can recommend him.

As for the one with bad morale, he didn't think the other party could survive.

Soon, there were waves of trembling sounds on the ground.

All the Qin troops looked up and saw that the Xiongnu cavalry was already close in front of them!

Everyone was immediately ready to engage the enemy.

The Qin army at the front roared to encourage himself!

Of course, no one laughed at each other. The power of these Huns cavalry was not comparable to the hundreds of trained cavalry.

Just when the Qin army in front thought that the Huns cavalry would hit them head-on, the front Huns cavalry suddenly turned around dozens of steps away.

Passing gently by the army.

Just when everyone was still a little confused.

Each centurion has shouted loudly,

"Shake the gun! Shake the gun! Shake the gun!"

This is also their usual training event. Gun shaking, as the name suggests, means shaking the spear in one's hand.

Soon, the sky above the entire gun array began to shake.

Countless spears were swinging in the air, which looked a bit ridiculous.

But the next moment, a burst of arrows were fired from the Hun cavalry passing by!

Mounted shooting!

With the stirrups, the Huns' hands were almost completely freed.

Buzz!

Countless arrows covered the sky and shot toward the Qin army!

Although the spears swinging in the air knocked down many arrows, it was inevitable that some arrows would be shot into the spear array.

Duh duh duh!

There was a sound of arrows hitting flesh!

Then there were screams and orders from various officers.

"Ah!!! I have arrows on me! I don't want to die..."

"Hold still! If you're still alive, hold on to the spear!"

"I feel so much pain!"

"Hold the gun even if you die!"

But in the distance, there was a burst of laughter from the Huns cavalry team.

For a time, the battlefield was in chaos.

At this time, on the Great Wall, Zhao Lang looked at the Qin army who could only stand there and was being beaten, with an ugly expression on his face.

When he first took out the stirrups, it was to deal with the people on the grassland.

But he didn't expect that he would hit his foot abruptly.

The Qin army still had too few cavalry.

"Why not shoot the arrow?"

Zhao Lang asked with a frown.

Meng Tian sighed slightly in his heart and replied,

"Your Highness, the distance is too far. It is difficult for ordinary crossbows to shoot, and there are not many crossbows in stock..."

Zhao Lang was silent for a moment.

He understood what Meng Tian meant. If he hadn't sent the order to attack, the Qin army could of course rely on the Great Wall and use ordinary crossbows to counterattack.

Of course, if this were the case, the other party would not come to the city.

If you want these people to be handsome as soon as possible, then you have to accept the consequences.

What about the crossbowmen in Han Xin's own army?

Zhao Lang searched for a while, and suddenly saw something, and his expression changed slightly.

Meng Tian replied at this time,

"Your Highness, would you like me to order the troops to withdraw?"

Of course, he can only give the order to withdraw the troops.

Otherwise, changing orders day and night will damage Zhao Lang's prestige.

But Zhao Lang still shook his head.

He believed in Han Xin.

Meng Tian wanted to say something at this time, but suddenly, he looked at the situation below and was slightly startled.

Because in this chaotic battlefield, other parts of the Qin army were still marching in an extremely orderly manner.

It's like there is a pair of invisible hands controlling everything.

Meng Tian couldn't help but look at the part that was being attacked. This time he discovered that the seemingly helpless phalanx.

In fact, it is a piece of bait that was thrown out specially.

Although it is miserable, once they entangle each other, other Qin troops will surround them!

At this time, Han Xin was riding on his horse with a stern expression, looking at everything on the battlefield.

But he kept giving orders from his mouth.

Of course, the battle continues on the other side.

The Xiongnu leader's face was full of bloodthirsty fanaticism at this time. Seeing the Qin soldiers holding spears falling under the arrows, he burst into laughter.

This is the strength of their grassland nation!

If you don't engage in combat, the opponent who will shoot first will be unable to resist.

It's a pity that the opponent's spear blocked some arrows this time, otherwise, the damage they caused would be even greater!

They had fired two rounds at this point.

It's almost ready for impact. If it weren't for the small turning space here, they could fire a few more rounds of arrows.

But the strange thing is that they did not see the Qin army's crossbowmen, which the other side usually used to suppress them.

Maybe it's because they haven't reached this position yet. After all, they took the initiative to launch a surprise attack.

Therefore, it is even more important to seize the time!

After eating this piece of Qin's army, he will go back quickly.

This time it was just a demonstration, not an all-out war.

Soon, the Hun leader gave a gesture.

The entire cavalry team was naturally divided into two teams, and then attacked the Qin army in different directions!

He wants to defeat these people in one go!

Once they flee, it's time to hunt them down!

Soon, the Xiongnu leader headed towards the Qin army under the protection of his own soldiers!

With the sound of howling wind in his ears, the Hun leader slightly leveled the weapon in his hand.

With such speed, he doesn't need much strength to kill someone.

The horse beneath him will give him strength!

The distance between the two sides gradually got closer, and the Xiongnu leader could see the fear on the face of the Qin army in the front row!

What else are you talking about?

Of course, he couldn't hear clearly.

There was a smile on his face, because he was very familiar with this expression. When he entered the Qin Kingdom, the faces of the people who had no time to evacuate also had such fear!

According to experience, as long as a few more people are killed, these people will be defeated!

boom! boom! boom!

Waves of crashing sounds came over!

The two sides finally collided!

There was a cry of wailing on the battlefield again!

Only this time, Qin Jun's body was knocked into the air.

The Hun cavalry inevitably slowed down.

The leader of the Xiongnu did not panic at this time. Every time he waved the weapon in his hand, a Qin soldier fell down wailing!

He could feel that this group of Qin troops was very weak!

Much weaker than the usual Great Qin border troops!

He couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, it seemed that he would be able to defeat the opponent soon.

As a result, the strength in his hands became even heavier!

But soon, he discovered something was wrong. Although they were killing with great ease and the ground was already covered with the corpses of the Qin army, the speed of the surrounding cavalry was getting slower and slower!

He looked around, only to find that Qin Jun was already everywhere around him!

The leader of the Huns realized something was wrong and immediately shouted,

"Quick! Everyone suddenly..."

Before he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure suddenly jump out from the corpse of Qin Jun on the ground.

The figure had a broken gun in one hand and an arrow in the other.

Then he stabbed these two things into his body fiercely!

puff! puff!

Even though he is a leader, he is still a human being, and he can be killed even if he is a human being!

When the Xiongnu leader's eyes darkened, he was pulled off his horse by the figure and fell into the Qin army's corpse.

Only then did he hear what those Qin soldiers were saying,

"You can't retreat, even if you die!"
