Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 31 I am so strong, I am an old Qin native, sharing the same border with the country
The gate of Beidi City opened with a bang, and the war drums on the city wall began to beat, and the Huns all looked towards Beidi City.

Of course Touman knew what the signal was, and shouted: "Let all the warriors assemble, those who protect the siege equipment troops, hurry up..."

The relatives around Touman immediately dispersed to inform the leaders of the various tribes. The Xiongnu troops who had already gathered were ready to defend themselves as if they were facing a big enemy.

The Qin soldiers in black armor held weapons and went out of the city with their chariots. The blackness shocked the Huns, and they moved towards the position where the Huns assembled the siege equipment.

Of course, the Xiongnu would not sit still. Under the command of Touman, five tribes with a total of more than 5000 warriors charged to Zhao Wubu in Beidicheng.

Although there was a cavalry battle at Muzhai, Beidi City still used traditional chariot soldiers as the main force, with infantry and cavalry as the assistant.

A chariot needs four horses in front to pull the chariot, and there are three armored soldiers on the chariot, one person drives the chariot, and the left side of the chariot first kills the enemy with a bow and crossbow, and when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the chariot's right hand holds a shield and the other holds a dagger to kill at close range. enemy.

Each chariot will be followed by 72 infantry, and they will follow behind the chariot and charge into battle.And most of the cavalry of Zhuxia in this era, like the Xiongnu cavalry, are actually better at riding and shooting. For them, using bows and arrows to consume the opponent immediately is the best way.

There is also the crossbowmen of the Qin State. Although the chariots are the main force, the crossbowmen are the most advanced and powerful weapons of the Qin State. The crossbowmen can be pulled by hand and kicked by their feet.

Yinqiang is already a big killer against the unarmored Huns, not to mention Kaizhang, which can effectively penetrate the armor of the little leaders and leaders in their Huns.

Zhao Wu asked his own soldiers to wave the flag, and all the crossbowmen, cavalry and chariots with bows, and the soldiers with bows directly put their bows on their feet and fired arrows one after another.

The number of bows and crossbows in Muzhai was small but the effect was not achieved. After all, there are nearly [-] crossbowmen in Beidi City. There are also arrows from cavalry and chariots. It was able to cover the clouds and block out the sun.

The rain of arrows shot at the Xiongnu charging towards Zhao Wubu. The Huns had already realized something, but the range of the bows and arrows in their hands was not as far as that of the Qin crossbow, and the range is the truth, so they had to get closer.

The moment they saw the arrow rain launch, they tried their best to drive the horses under their crotches to disperse left and right, but there were still many people who had no time to dodge, and they or the horses under their crotches were shot by the arrows and fell to the ground hard .

This is the most powerful long-range strike force in the present era, the crossbowmen of the Qin State. They shot through the three Jins with one arrow and drove out the Yan State. Now they open their fangs to the Huns.

But the Hun cavalry scattered left and right could not be scared away by a wave of arrows. They also had the great plow supporter Gutu Chanyu, and the orders of the leader who controlled their life and death.

They needed to continue to get closer, but Qin Jun didn't have so many worries. The rotating crossbowmen also finished winding their bows and arrows, and started the second round of throwing.

The Xiongnu cavalry continued to disperse left and right to avoid the rain of arrows. Although many people were shot by two arrows and lost many people, they were indeed shortening the straight-line distance from the Qin army.

After the Xiongnu cavalry reached the distance of their own bows and arrows, they also shot at the Qin army, and began to cause casualties to the Qin army.

When Zhao Wu saw that he had passed the distance where he could kill the Huns cavalry without damaging them, he waved a flag and ordered the chariots to charge the opponent's forward cavalry and drive them away from the distance where bows and arrows could cause damage.

Led by Zhao Wu himself, all eighty chariots began to charge towards the opposite side with the infantry. The chariots were a bit like the heavy cavalry of later generations. In the charge battle, the Huns cavalry could not compete with them at all, and they dispersed to look for opportunities to counterattack with bows and arrows.

All the chariots can be said to be rampant on the battlefield, and no unsightly Huns dare to come over and stop the overlord of the battlefield in this era.

And the crossbowmen of the Qin State would not stand by and watch. They started shooting at the Hun cavalry who were far away from their own Qin army, and usually several people shot one person, so the Huns who were too far away from the Qin chariot were also in danger.

In this way, the Zhao Wu Department of the Qin Army and the Xiongnu cavalry sent by Shan Yu started a melee. Through the shooting of the crossbowmen before, the advantage of the opponent's numbers was basically gone, while the own side still had the advantage of weapons and armor. Slowly, the Qin army began to occupy upper hand.

When Touman saw that the situation was not right, he strengthened his troops. He originally thought that the Xiongnu had an advantage in numbers, and the most that Beidi City was doing was to harass his own speed of building siege equipment.

Touman has "dealted" with Beidicheng many times, and when he saw Zhao Ziqi, he knew that it was Zhao Wubu who fought.

But I never expected that Zhao Wu would directly engage in the battle, not to mention how Zhao Wu had so many more crossbowmen.Touman couldn't think too much, after all, the battlefield was ever-changing, so he asked his cronies, Lou Fan, who was also the most powerful besides his own Xiongnu headquarters, to fight.

Lou Fan was originally not a barbarian, but also one of the Xia kingdoms, and it is very likely that Zhou Tianzi once made a viscount to his lord.

But after their country was destroyed by Zhao State, some of them returned to Zhao State and belonged to Qin State and are now in Daijun, while the other part went north to join the Xiongnu.

Zhao Wu found out that the Huns sent other troops to this side, and by looking at their appearance, they could tell that they were one of the most powerful tribes.

Lou Fanren is actually closer in appearance to the Zhuxia people, but because he has mixed blood with various tribes of the Huns, his appearance is now between Zhuxia and the Huns.

Zhao Wu rushed forward with the chariot soldiers and issued an order to return to the city. After all, the upper floor is a new force, and the soldiers on his side need to go back to rest after the battle just now.

It's just that Zhao Wu looked viciously in the direction of the Xiongnu who were assembling the siege equipment. There were still too few soldiers in Beidi City, and it was impossible to achieve the original goal and harass the assembly troops on the opposite side.

Zhao Wu led the chariot soldiers and infantry to lean against the city wall quickly, while the crossbowmen and cavalry shot at the Hun cavalry who dared to pursue, covering Zhao Wu's retreat.

Meng Tian was watching on the city wall. In fact, this station must have been a victory for the Qin army based on the battle losses, but there were more than [-] people on the opposite side.

And he only has about [-] soldiers, which requires at least a [-]:[-] battle loss in every battle, not to mention that it does not prevent the assembly of the opponent's siege equipment.

None of the returning chariot soldiers was injured, because the Huns on the opposite side only dared to fire arrows from a distance, and did not and did not dare to block the chariots. Each of the chariot soldiers was a high-level soldier wearing iron armor. Most of the Huns were composed of Naturally, arrows made of bones and stones cannot harm them.

But the infantry who assisted these chariot soldiers were not so lucky. This time the count found that there were nearly [-] infantrymen killed and injured in total, while the crossbowmen and cavalry lost about [-] in the confrontation with the Huns.

This casualty is not a lot. Zhao Wu brought a total of more than 1 soldiers this time, which means that the Zhao Wu Department lost nearly 5.00%.

This is already rare in ancient battles, and most ancient troops can hardly bear if the casualties exceed [-]%.

But Zhao Wubu didn't have much fear, they just grieved for their brothers and comrades who died in battle, and they knew that no matter how many casualties they had, they couldn't be timid.

What they are defending is Beidi City, where their relatives, comrades-in-arms, and fellow villagers are all here.

And behind them is the state of Qin.

An inch of country and an inch of blood, I am a strong old Qin, and I share the same border with the country.
