Chapter 309: Hostage

A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Xubuhun's recklessness brought nothing but the Xiongnu warriors except the generals who died in battle.

A full ten rounds of onslaught.

While the Huns' bodies were bleeding, their hearts were also bleeding. From the beginning of the seventh round of attacks, Xubuhun, who was extremely surprised by the tenacity of the Qin army, could no longer hold himself back and led a group of cronies to the front line of the battlefield.

Luanhe River Corner.

The place where the Qin army was stationed was a dead place facing a river on both sides. Such a place was extremely unfavorable to defending one side in terms of military tactics. But now, the Qin army broke this convention and camped here.

Backwater formation.

Being able to minimize the impact of the Xiongnu cavalry on the front, the Qin army, which is at a numerical disadvantage, only needs to guard the enemies in two directions to maintain the line of defense safely, and more importantly, the two sides facing the river,

For the Huns, it was a desperate situation, but for the Qin people, it was a way of survival that could be advanced or retreated.

Zhouji.

Although the Qin people are not more powerful than the Chu people, they are much stronger than the Huns. This time when they went north, the baggage carried by Gan Yong's troops included small boats that only needed a few shoulders. With them, the Qin army could

Even if a large-scale retreat is not possible, at least there is no need to worry about being cut off from communication with the outside world.

Continuous fierce fighting.

The arms of the soldiers of the Qin army were so sore that they used flat-ended machine crossbows, gaiting their eyes tightly towards the mountain, and then fired the crossbow bolts mechanically. This posture was okay once or twice, but if it was done hundreds or thousands of times, even a tough man would

They couldn't bear it psychologically, not to mention that from their eyes, they could see a feast of killing in front of them.

Makin was panting.

After two full days and nights of guarding, the backbone general of the Qin army was a little exhausted. In addition to physical fatigue, the psychological pressure also made Ma Jin sincerely surprised by the fighting power of the Huns.

After being severely damaged when trying to counter the Qin army's defense line at the beginning, the Huns began to change their tactics of blindly attacking and rushing. On one side, they sent out elite soldiers to continue the feint attack. On the other side, they sent groups of superb archers and Qin army's machine crossbows.

Troops shooting at each other, this kind of attrition tactics poses a greater threat to the Qin army.

In addition to being responsible for scouting and exploring the way, Ma Jin also had the task of commanding the infantry to set up their shields and shield the crossbowmen during such a confrontation. However, even so, some Huns archers still fired their arrows from the ground.

He got through the gap in the shield, and from time to time some of the crossbowmen in the front line fell down and were replaced by others.

Ten rounds of violent attacks regardless of casualties.

Xubuhun harvested more than 6,000 cold and lifeless corpses. There were also an equal number of fallen war horses. The result in exchange was a meager 400 casualties on the Qin army's side. Among them, unfortunately,

There were only seventy-one Qin soldiers who died from the shooting.

Of course, if we calculate carefully, the Huns are not completely without good news. At least, they paid the price of their lives for tens of thousands of crossbow bolts from the Qin army.

"Tomorrow, go and bring over those Yan people who have been conquered. I don't believe it. The Qin thieves will never be able to fire all their crossbows." The frustrated Xubuhun was so angry that he finally lost his mind.

"King Guli, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to use unarmed civilians as shields. The Great Chanyu won't agree." Zang Yan's face turned ugly. Xu Buhun's arrogant behavior of not treating the Yan people as human beings. Let this

The Yan people, who were determined to be the internal correspondent of the Huns, also felt waves of discomfort.

No matter what.

In Zang Yan's heart, defecting to the Xiongnu was just a stopgap measure. What he really wanted was to restore his father's position as King Yan, or to one day be able to ascend the throne of King Yan. But if the Yan people were forcibly taken away by the Huns,

On the battlefield, Zang Yan could imagine that from now on, the Huns should no longer expect to obtain the information provided by the Yan people.

Intimate lovers will turn against each other after making an oath of love. After all, the Huns and the Yan people are not from the same clan. In the hearts of the Huns, the Yan people are just a group of obedient slaves.

"Zang Jianjun, if you are tired, you should rest early. Tomorrow morning, I will send soldiers to take you back to Ji County." Xu Buhun sneered and said.

As long as he defeats this annoying small Qin army in front of him, Xubuhun will be able to continuously defeat Chu and Qin with his reputation as the two powerful enemies, and ascend to the position of King Youxian. At that time, Zang Yan will be a mere

What should he fear from Mao Dun's lackey?

——.

Qin army fortress.

Gan Yong held up his sword and straightened his tired body, with an unyielding expression on his resolute face. Ma Jin was like a standing statue, standing behind Gan Yong, and beside him, there were bronze shields like a forest.

covering this piece of sky.

The Huns attacked again.

However, this time, the situation was so different that it was difficult to understand. The Xiongnu cavalry did not use cavalry arrows to suppress the Qin army's crossbows as before, but imitated the upright tactics of the two armies during the Song and Chu wars in the past.

"General, it's strange this time. The Huns also started a frontal attack." Ma Jin listened to the sound of the war drums and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Let's go and have a look." Gan Yong stood up and said in a deep voice.

Xubuhun was under great pressure, and Gan Yong also faced many difficulties. Although the arrows wounded more than 6,000 Xiongnu troops, the Qin army only had more than 10,000 arrows left. If the Huns really attacked fiercely regardless of wounded soldiers,

, Gan Yong could not guarantee whether he would have enough arrows to last until reinforcements arrived.

Under the setting sun.

Groups of Yandi people in linen clothes moved numbly. Behind them were the Huns' whips raised high and bright swords splattered with blood. In front of them, there was a dark

The devouring Qin army’s arrows and crossbows.

Feng Tang held his mother's rough hand tightly and retracted his body into the crowd. He was only four years old. Although he didn't quite understand where they were going, the corpses on the battlefield reminded him that this place was

It is definitely not a place for children to play.

"Auntie, I'm scared." Feng Tang whispered.

"My son, quickly hide here with your mother. No matter what happens, don't make a sound. Do you hear me?" The woman's sad eyes were full of love.

Following Xu Buhun's order, these people scattered in the Yan land were captured in groups one after another. What awaited them was a hopeless and helpless cruel killing.

"Damn it, the Xiongnu barbarians actually recruited the common people as their vanguard. What should we do?" Ma Jin had a good eye and saw clearly that the people rushing into the battle this time were actually groups of ragged Yan people.

Shoot the Huns.

The pressure placed on the soldiers of the Qin army is completely different from shooting a group of unarmed people. The soldiers of the Qin army did not feel any psychological pressure when shooting the Huns. But if they killed a group of people, especially if there were women and children among them, the arrow would

Whether you can shoot or not will not only test your shooting skills, but also your mental endurance. (To be continued...)
