Chapter 408: Ender Warriors

“Woo~~~”

The Huns blew the horns and made waves of roars like wolves howls. The Huns knights almost gave up their short weapons and long weapons. Everyone was holding bows and arrows in their hands, and the back was full of arrow bags. With the howling, the sound of horse hooves sounded like a sudden rain, and the earth shook the mountains. Zhao Kang's more than 100,000 elite soldiers were arranged in this way, and they could not see each other in front and back. They were arranged on miles of land.

The Huns rode horses with fur on their bodies and had no armor. Although this reduced the defensiveness of the cavalry, they brought the maneuverability of the cavalry to the extreme. The horses galloped like lightning. The knights held the arrows tightly and stared at the enemies in the distance, screaming excitedly. The cavalry all over the mountains suddenly avoided when approaching the enemy, and ran around the left and right. The cavalry raised their bows and arrows and shot sideways.

They looked very casual, as if they were not fighting, but racing, without a queue or command. They competed with riding and archery, letting the horses lead them to gallop continuously, and they surrounded both sides of the Qin army... and the opposite of them was the Qin infantry group trapped in the middle. These infantry soldiers were very serious. They stood there neatly, motionless, as if carved from a mold.

With unified armor, flying flags, and neat figures, Zhao Kang finally gave all his orders. The Qin infantry Army began to change formations. First, the surrounding infantrymen, facing the enemy's direction, raised their shields high, and then walked towards them. The crossbowman followed the shields. When the crossbowman reached the original position of the infantry, the second row of infantrymen took over the position of the crossbowman.

Zhao Kang did not choose to fight back as soon as possible, and the end was that the Huns threw arrows on the Qin people unscrupulously. Although the shield was large, they could not stop all arrows. Someone was always shot down on the way to change the formation and died immediately. Because the bows and arrows were shot one by one, the Qin people in the central area also had a considerable casualty rate.

Looking at the Qin people who were constantly being shot and killed, Touman narrowed his eyes. He did not dare to underestimate the enemy in front of him. After all, the "Li Mu" in front of him was a terrible opponent. However, Touman could not see what the other general wanted to do, or in other words, neither side had any experience, because before this, no country dared to mobilize 200,000 troops to cross the Great Wall to attack the Hu people on the grassland.

On the one hand, there is no benefit in doing so. If the Hu people can't defeat it, they will run away. On the contrary, other countries in the Central Plains may stab the knife in the back. In addition, it is because of the cavalry of the Huns and the army of the Central Plains that rely on combat chariots to resist, but cannot defeat these light cavalry. Similarly, the light cavalry cannot rush to the formation and directly defeat the army of the Central Plains, but he can defeat the enemy through endless harassment and cutting off logistics.

This is the first time that the Central Plains Kingdom has brought so many soldiers to the grassland to attack the Hu people.

Both sides have the first time, and neither has any experience, so they are all tempting. One wants to open up, open up the situation, swallow the other party, and the other wants to intersperse, find the opponent's flaws and decompose the formation. Under such a tentative attack, Zhao Kang chose not to play according to common sense. He ignored the Huns' shooting and kept letting the infantry advance on the periphery, and then the archers and infantry cooperated in turn.

If you can stand from the perspective of God, you can see that the Qin army is constantly spreading out. The peripheral infantry, the archers and archers outside the infantry are then infantry, slowly stretching, and in the middle position, it becomes empty. This is a hollow stairs and crossbows square formation. This is the first time this square formation appears in this world. Sima Shang is a little confused. He looks at the unscrupulous attack of the Huns, and Zhao Kang just arranges the formation himself, and fire is about to spit out from his eyes.

The Huns began to detour around the phalanx and shoot continuously, while the Qin army created a square city wall through a large shield. Zhao Kang once again raised the banner. Under the protection of the infantry, the crossbowmen began to fight back. Almost at the same time, the crossbowmen of the Qin State shot in turn. In a very short time, round after round of arrow rains directly enveloped the enemy.

Arrows fell on the Huns like raindrops, and horses whined and fell to the ground one after another. The knights who had almost no defense measures also fell head-on and were directly trampled by the subsequent cavalry. In almost a few moments, the Huns experienced a huge reduction in personnel. Touman only heard a buzzing sound, and then densely filled with desperate arrows flew out of the enemy, and his knights began to fall in pieces.

This was very shocking. Touman was stunned for a moment and hurriedly issued an order not to approach them and to keep a distance!!

In fact, without his orders, the Huns knights knew to open some distance. Under the shooting just now, the Qin people almost cleared their surroundings... The ground was full of corpses and fleeing masterless horses. Seeing the Huns knights wide open distance, Zhao Kang ordered again. At that moment, Touman saw that the formation of the Qin people changed again. The infantry held large shields and continued to advance, while the crossbowmen cooperated with the infantry to advance and shoot.

The Huns had been too long to shoot their enemies, and when they could complete the shooting, the Qin arrows always took their lives first. Just when Touman Shanyu was so anxious that he found that the Qin infantry group suddenly separated, and a cavalry rushed out of them. Zhao Kang's face turned red, and he handed the flag directly to Sima Shang, and rushed out on a horse.

"You are the chief general!! You can't rush!!" Sima Shang shouted in a hurry.

"We are at the same level!" Zhao Kang just replied, and then he took the more than 3,000 cavalry he had just organized and began to face the position of Touman. Touman was startled at first. He didn't expect the enemy to rush into his face. Then, he burst into laughter. The enemy was so blinded. He could use the cavalry to surround these Qin knights and swallow them all!

Zhao Kang took the lead and rushed into the cavalry of the Huns. When the two sides fought at close range, the Huns discovered a big problem: I didn’t bring melee weapons!

Sure enough, Zhao Kang, the melee knights, began to kill, while the Hun cavalry began to avoid it in a hurry. Of course, not all the Huns just brought bows and arrows. The elite troops around Touman had spears and swords. Touman quickly asked these people to fight, and the two sides fought together. When the other Hun knights also slowly surrounded him, Zhao Kang suddenly turned around and fled, and Touman directly ordered the pursuit.

Zhao Kang took the cavalry back to the infantry array, while the long-awaited crossbowmen shot quickly, and the Hun knights who were chasing them all fell to the ground!

Touman was stunned and was about to command the knights to retreat, Zhao Kang led the knights to kill again.

Touman's face suddenly turned blue, and he was playing light cavalry harassment with me here? Touman, who was extremely angry, ordered the knights to start attacking from all over the world again, and he led the elite troops to fight. He wanted to cut off the retreat of this small Qin cavalry. However, after Zhao Kang discovered the movements from both sides, he immediately took the knights back. Sima Shang no longer dared to violate Zhao Kang's orders at this moment, and he was convinced.

Therefore, according to Zhao Kang's arrangement, he kept increasing the hollow square formation. To expand the range, while Touman was taking the knights to fight. He could not complete the command of the knights in various divisions. Looking at the gradually chaotic battlefield, Touman felt something was wrong. He attacked this time to harass, not to face it head-on, and what he brought was not all the main forces. Many of the troops of the wise kings were still defending.

Touman suppressed the anger in his heart, and the trumpet of the Huns blew again. The knights ran towards all places without looking back. The Qin army had no way to catch up with them. Sima Shang widened his eyes. He wanted to reach out and pinch himself. Seeing Zhao Kang, who was covered in blood on the horse's back in the distance, he couldn't speak. His hands were trembling slightly. When he walked in front of Zhao Kang, Zhao Kang dismounted angrily.

"Where is Li Mu? Where is Li Mu?! Such a good opportunity to destroy the Huns, where is he?!"

If Zhao Kang dared to question this on weekdays, Sima Shang would definitely have to argue with him. But now, facing the aggressive Zhao Kang, Sima Shang subconsciously became timid. He lowered his head and said carefully: "It's not that General Li Mu, who would have thought that... Your formation almost destroyed all the Hun cavalry..." He looked at the Hun corpses everywhere around him and couldn't help but take a breath.

This grassland was directly turned into a cemetery by Zhao Kang, which makes people unbearable to look at it.

Zhao Kang still looked a little angry. He looked at the Hun cavalry who was leaving, shook his head helplessly, and said, "General Li Mu should let me command the cavalry." Sima Shang thought for a while, maybe it was true, but who would have thought that you could fight so much before going to the expedition... Sima Shang couldn't help but ask, "How did you come up with such a formation?" Zhao Kang grinned, "What's the difficulty?"

"The Huns were also beaten away. Do you want to play a ball together?"

“Uh… OK.”

The face of Touman Shanyu was ashen. His anger was not because the Qin people had severely damaged him this time, but because the cunning Li Mu dared to use the strategy of the Huns to deal with the Huns. Touman narrowed his eyes and his army looked exhausted. The Hun knights who had just experienced a bloody battle were all bowing their heads at this moment, looking very depressed. This was their first duel with the Qin people on the grassland. Both sides wanted to prove that they were the real men, and they both wanted to press the other party to the ground and take out...the short sword cut off their heads.

But this time, the Huns were ridden under their bodies. They had not experienced such a fierce battle for many years. The enemy's command ability was too high. He could even be as capable as thousands of people as they were. This was very terrible... Touman was thinking about a strategy to break the enemy. Now it seems that fighting head-on with Li Mu is not a good choice. He can only give up all the territory in Yinshan and evacuate here. If he doesn't believe that the other party dares to continue to go deeper...

Touman had already given up fighting head-on with the enemy, but at this moment, the knights in front suddenly stopped.

Touman raised his head and saw the cavalry all over the mountains. These cavalry were waiting for him on the way to the royal court. There were a lot of people, but they were not the Huns, because they had arranged their formations and were neat and solemn. This was the Qin army, and the Qin people had a cavalry. At that moment, Touman was creepy and had a cold back, but before he could give an order, the knights who had been waiting on the opposite side had launched an attack.

Li Mu divided his troops with Zhao Kang at Yanmen and took tens of thousands of cavalry to detour Yinshan. With his familiarity with this place and the help of herders in the army, he avoided the Huns' sight many times. Yes, the grassland could hide the Huns and Li Mu's cavalry. Li Mu ignored Zhao Kang at all, and did not even have any letters with them, in order to avoid being discovered by the Huns.

To make such a decision, it takes great courage to believe in your teammates, because you have no idea about your teammates' situation, but Li Mu still did this. He believed in Sima Shang and Zhao Kang. He took a detour many times and finally came to the royal court. Just after Shanyu left here with his cavalry, a general suggested that he could take down the Huns' nest, but Li Mu did not agree.

If you want to defeat the Huns, you cannot follow the Central Plains' fighting style. It does not mean that you will lose if you occupy your king, but you will lose. It is to defeat your main force. That is the real victory. Therefore, Li Mu took his men to rest around here. He wanted to wait for the Shanyu to return to the army and defeat him again, because he found that when the Shanyu sent troops, the cavalry were speeding, without formation, and no physical strength was retained.

If you can run very well, then wait until you can't run before hitting you.

Li Mu originally thought that the Shanyu could defeat Zhao Kang at most and then return here with his army, but Li Mu himself did not expect that when the Huns returned, they were so tired and their morale was very low. It seemed that Zhao Kang had suffered heavy damage to them, and this could be seen from their reduction in staff. So, when Touman was about to go home to rest, Li Mu, who had been waiting at his doorstep for a long time, quickly launched an attack.

Touman looked at the torrent that was charging towards him in the distance, and he was scared.

The two sides fought, and the Qin cavalry, who were raising their strength, were not afraid of the tired soldiers in front of them. The elite Huns knights were about to collapse. After several hours of bloody battle, they could no longer draw their bows and arrows, their arms swollen and painful, and they could not even pick up weapons. And they became lambs to be slaughtered. At the beginning of the war, Touman knew in his heart that he could not win.
