Chapter 732: He Will Be the King of the Whole World
Fighter opportunities are fleeting, and decisions on the battlefield must be made quickly.
After hearing the news from the spies, Han Xin's heart was already racing!
His scouts had actually gone far enough, but he didn't expect the Huns to go further.
But this isn't necessarily all bad.
Soon, Han Xin gave the order,
"Fire all bows and crossbows! Take alternate cover and withdraw from the battlefield!"
"Light the tents around the camp, and all the baggage that cannot be taken away, also set fire to it!"
This camp was originally a cover. There were not many supplies, just enough for the daily consumption of the army. If they were left alone, they would be taken by the opponent.
It's better to just click it and stop the enemy.
Of course, more importantly, Mao Dun should be satisfied with this defeat.
Although the messenger was confused as to why he had to abandon the camp directly instead of defending.
But he still started to execute the order extremely quickly.
The general's order was not something they could understand. .
Soon, the order soldiers conveyed the order to various ministries.
The Qin army naturally responded accordingly.
Retreating does not mean running back all at once, that is called rout.
Of course, if a retreat is not executed well, it can easily turn into a rout.
Simply put, retreat tests a general's ability more than attacking.
Although the Qin army was about to retreat, the Qin army in front was killing them even more fiercely!
The crossbowmen in the middle and the crossbows in the rear fired almost at the same time.
The crossbow arrows, which were originally only used at critical moments, were shooting outwards in bursts as if they were free of charge!
Under the arrows that blocked the sky and the sun, countless Hun cavalry were shot off their horses in the air, and then lay on the ground wailing!
But the end result is often being shot into the throat by another crossbow arrow!
Seeing this scene, countless Qin troops roared excitedly. Only the supply battalion in the rear was jumping and cursing!
This is all the inventory!
Crossbow arrows are so expensive!
Otherwise, the Qin army would have shot all the way through.
Why fight with the opponent at close range?
After shooting, the Qin army who controlled the crossbow directly destroyed the crossbow.
They are retreating now and cannot take these things with them, lest the Huns pick up their crossbow arrows and attack them in turn.
But the effect was still extremely obvious. A gap appeared between the Qin army and the Xiongnu.
At this time, the Qin army decisively broke away from the Xiongnu.
Then retreated towards the camp.
When the Huns recovered and directly attacked the Qin army's camp, the Qin army set fire to it!
The flames blocked pursuit.
Of course, there are certain things to do when setting a fire. If you don’t set it well and directly trap yourself in the fire, that would be ridiculous.
Fortunately, Han Xin will not make such low-level mistakes.
So when Mao Dun brought his royal guards to the Qin army's camp, there was only a sea of fire left here!
"Chanyu! The Qin army escaped! We won!"
King Zuo Xian said with a bit of excitement!
The main force of the Qin army fled, and now it can even be said that the entire northern land of Qin State belongs to them!
Mao Dun couldn't help but smile at this time. The Qin army could only flee under his attack!
But he is not satisfied!
The Great Qin God of War, until just now, was still showing off his power!
More importantly, the main force of the Qin army is still there!
"Escape? What are they using to escape?"
At this time, Modu suppressed his complacency and said with a bit of cruelty,
"The sheep are in panic now, it's time for us to hunt!"
"Send the order! Go around the camp and pursue the troops!"
Theirs is cavalry, the opponent's is infantry, and the area here is also a plain!
Although there are obstacles such as farmland, woods, small rivers, etc., it is not as open and flat as the grassland, and there is no way to attack from all directions.
You know, horses also have physical strength, and running on these terrains still takes a lot of wear and tear.
But even so, it is impossible for these Qin troops to outrun them!
Soon, all the Xiongnu tribes who received the order howled with excitement!
One by one, the Xiongnu nobles took their tribes and bypassed the camp, chasing the Qin army!
On the vast plains of Northern Qin, the huge Qin army barely maintained its formation and retreated along the main road in the determined direction.
And all around were galloping Hun cavalry.
They did not rush into the Qin army's formation. Such a loss would be too great.
Instead, he follows behind and eats the opponent's outer parts one by one!
Cut off the cocoons until the end!
When these people are completely exhausted, it's time for them to kill.
At the very back of the Great Qin army formation, most of the people leading the new slave army were also running with their heads down.
They were lightly equipped and could actually run faster, but Han Xin's order was that they must be at the back.
Datou actually had some extremely arrogant thoughts in his mind, such as going against the grain!
However, in the Qin army, they better understood the terror of the Qin border army. In a head-on confrontation, even if they had 50,000 people, they might not be able to defeat the opponent's 10,000 people.
You must know that the Great Qin border army is not comparable to them in terms of equipment and body.
Datou thought all the way and ran away.
When the sound of horse hooves sounded behind him, Datou's heart sank and he glanced at the Thousand-Man General of the New Slave Army next to him.
The opponent stopped without hesitation and shouted,
"My people stay!"
So the thousand-man team at the back stopped, picked up their bamboo spears, and formed a formation.
Not long after, Datou heard bursts of killing cries and roars!
Datou did not look back because he knew that these people would not come back alive.
This was how they blocked the Hun cavalry, relying on the terrain to use human lives, sniping at every level...or, in other words, delaying.
And how long this journey is, how long they will delay it.
"I don't know if these 50,000 people are enough?"
Datou suddenly thought.
wait
The killing continued into the evening, and the corpses of the new slave army could be seen everywhere on the road.
Not all slaves in the new army were willing to accept death, and some took advantage of the chaos to escape. Unfortunately, this area was already full of Huns' skirmishers.
They have nowhere to escape.
But fortunately, at this time, the Qin army found a hillside that was not too steep. Relying on the terrain and the night, they blocked the Xiongnu invasion.
"Chanyu! The Qin army is on a hillside in front!"
King Zuo Xian, who was out of breath from running all the way, reported to Mao Dun at this time.
Modun nodded and then said,
"Let all the ministries regroup and surround this place! Rest for a night and attack tomorrow!"
All the tribes went crazy today, killing at least 20,000 Qin troops!
And when he just came here, he looked over and saw that it was an extremely open area, suitable for cavalry assault!
This is where these Qin troops died!
As for that small hilltop, it's no big deal, it can be taken down with just a few charges!
Defeat the main force of the Qin army tomorrow!
When he thought of this, Mao Dun couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart!
Soon, he will be the king of the entire world!
