Chapter 352 Coincidental surprise attack
"Enemy attack! Dodge quickly!!"
In just six words, they shouted out from Xiang Yu and Long Qi at almost the same time, and their hands were also pointing in the west direction.
Originally, these Hun cavalry who had just entered the territory of Daqin were very nervous because they were on an open space at this time. If someone really attacked them, they would be very likely to become living targets.
So when Xiang Yu and Long Qi shouted, they directly attracted the attention of all the cavalry around them. At that time, a certain amount of chaos occurred around them, and as the soldiers spread each other, the scope of chaos was increasing.
It doesn't matter if this is a little messy. The Hun generals who were running straight towards Xiang Yu and Long Qi were a little unable to walk for a while. The generals around Xiang Yu and Long Qi also quickly looked at the direction of Xiang Yu and Long Qi's fingers. For a moment, of course, they forgot that the order they had received before was to get rid of Xiang Yu. After all, Xiang Yu was standing beside them, but the enemy was not so honest.
The purpose of this voice was achieved almost in an instant, and Xiang Yu knew that since his goal was achieved, it was time to make his own decision. If he didn't take advantage of this small chaos and wait for the Huns to come back to their senses, their ending would only be even more miserable.
So, Xiang Yu and Long Qi looked at each other, and then Xiang Yu shouted with luck again: "There are ambushers here, let's go with me!"
After saying that, he slapped the war horse under his crotch, and without caring about it, he followed in one direction. Naturally, Long Qi followed closely behind him. Later, some Hun soldiers who didn't know what was going on also followed Xiang Yu in that direction.
Until this time, the Hun generals who Maodun wanted to kill Xiang Yu did not know what was going on.
"Go quickly and catch Xiang Yu and Long Qi back!" As a Hun general shouted loudly, many cavalry followed him and rode his horse quickly to chase Xiang Yu. For a moment, many Huns moved and followed their generals to chase Xiang Yu inexplicably.
"Major General, you and I should look for a narrow road to move away before we can get rid of them!" Seeing that the Huns' reaction was quite fast, Long Qi asked Xiang Yu quickly. After all, they were only two people. Once they were surrounded by those Hun cavalry, the consequences would definitely be unimaginable, so the best opportunity is to take advantage of the fact that some of the Huns following them are still not sure what is going on.
"I'm afraid there will be no woods and mountains here. You and I need to run several miles to get out of trouble!"
While riding a horse, Xiang Yu said to Long Qi. What Xiang Yu didn't expect was that the place he had just entered would be so empty. It would be a bit abnormal if it were logically abnormal. However, when his life was at stake, Xiang Yu was not in the mood to think about it. He urgently needed to find a path that would allow him and Long Qi to hide.
"Swish!Swish!..."
Just as Xiang Yu and Long Qi were anxiously looking for a place to hide with a group of Xiongnu horses following closely behind, suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came from Xiang Yu's ears. This sound was so familiar to Xiang Yu. During the previous battle between Shouchun and the Qin soldiers, this sound had appeared in Xiang Yu's ears more than once.
"Qin Crossbow!"
Xiang Yu lowered his body completely, lying on his war horse, and quickly informed the dragon behind him.
Long Qi's combat experience is not very rich. As soon as he heard this, he knew that what Xiang Yu said tonight was really accurate. When it came to the enemy attack, the enemy attack really came. But for the two of them at this time, this enemy attack was obviously the right time. If there was no enemy attack this time, it would be a bit difficult for them to escape, but in this way, it would be much easier.
At the first moment, Xiang Yu and Long Qi all turned their horses and ran in another direction, but the large group of Xiongnu cavalry behind them were not so lucky. Some of the Qin crossbows before did not shoot in place, but after that, arrows all over the sky came towards them, but obviously, the Huns were not so familiar with Qin crossbows, and they missed the best time to escape...
"Ah!!! Ah!"
The screams were heard one after another, and Xiang Yu and Long Qi, who had been at the forefront, had already turned their horses and didn't know where they had run.
"Did this guy really find the enemy attack?" Several Xiongnu generals behind quickly began to command their troops to retreat. They knew that Xiang Yu and Long Qi had run away or had been shot to death, but the remaining Xiongnu cavalry were determined not to chase after him. They had no idea where the arrows ahead were shot, and they did not know how many arrows the Qin soldiers had prepared for them.
At this time, Maodun, who was behind, finally discovered an abnormality. He quickly asked, and the news he got was that Xiang Yu first discovered the enemy's attack, and then led the vanguard to search forward, but encountered the shooting of Qin crossbow, and now he is nowhere to go.
"Xiang Yu is not sure where he is going?"
Maodun was still very angry about this matter, but the news he received immediately made him cry. That is, they could only hide in the place where they broke through, and could not move forward anymore, because as long as they were forward, the arrows that didn't know where they would fly over, and no one knew how many Qin soldiers holding Qin crossbows were ambushing the opposite side, and even more so, how far the ambush was from them.
"It turned out to be ambushed by Qin soldiers. Xiang Yu dared to deceive this guy from this Shanyu!"
As soon as they entered, they were ambushed of this scale. Maodun thought about it and knew that the information provided to him by Xiang Yu was not accurate at all. Even the reason why this city wall was easily breached by them was very likely a trap set by the Qin Dynasty. In this way, they planned the war to attack the Qin Dynasty for such a long time, which was a huge trap from beginning to end.
By this time, the cavalry of the Xiongnu had entered half of the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Maodun knew that if he withdrew at this time, it would be a mess, because he could be sure that most of the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty were controlled by Meng Tian of Shangjun, so even if he was ambushed, the number of cavalry that could appear in it would not exceed 40,000 to 50,000, and in his hands there were 250,000 cavalry.
So Maodun made up his mind at that time that he must not be scared away by these few ambushers of the Qin Dynasty. Since he came, he had to bite a piece of meat from the Qin Dynasty, otherwise it would not be the character of the Huns, right?
"Tell me the order, find out the direction of the Qin crossbow, and move forward at full speed. We must find out the Qin soldiers who are ambushing in the dark!"
Although I knew that doing so would cause certain damage to his cavalry, Maodun knew that without these casualties, it would not be possible to quickly find the location of the Qin ambush. If this was the case, if the Qin soldiers had a backup plan, Maodun knew that the final loss might be him.
Just as Maodun made this somewhat risky decision, Han Xin, who was ambushing not far from Maodun, had a solemn expression on his face. Obviously, he was not so happy at this time.
"Who leaked the news? Why did the Huns keep shouting that the enemy attacks rushed towards the place where we set up an ambush?"
It turned out that according to Han Xin's previous arrangement, it was not time to release the Qin crossbow, but the Huns had just entered half of the number, which was not logically the time to attack the depths of the Qin Dynasty. But for some reason, many of the Huns' vanguards suddenly shouted that there was an enemy attack and rushed directly to the place where the Qin soldiers set up an ambush.
Sima Xin was waiting in front. When Sima Xin saw this situation, he thought that he had been discovered by the Huns. If the Huns were killed in front of him, then this matter would be difficult to deal with. So Sima Xin ordered Qin Bird to shoot arrows without saying a word.
The first wave was effective, and he shot down a large number of Huns who rushed over. However, after a while, the Huns suddenly stopped moving forward again. This time, Sima Xin was a little confused, so he quickly sent someone to Han Xin to explain the situation.
"There has never been leaked, but the Huns' vanguard suddenly rushed over for some reason and had been shot and killed by our army. However, the subsequent Huns' troops failed to keep up for a while. We really don't know what kind of strategy the Huns had..."
Obviously, the actions of the Huns directly confused the generals of the Qin Dynasty. Even Han Xin did not know how the ambushed people under his command were exposed, nor did he know why the Huns had retreated again since they had all come here.
Just as Han Xin was thinking hard, Sima Xin, who was in front, sent someone to inform Han Xin, only saying that the Huns rushed over again this time, and the scale was much larger than the last time. If this situation continues, after waiting for the two or three waves of Qin crossbows to be launched, the Qin soldiers would have to fight the Huns in hand-to-hand combat.
Han Xin never thought that how could the Huns be so cunning? Of course, he ended up throwing the pot to Xiang Yu. He thought that it must be the Huns that were led by Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu learned the lessons of frequent tricks in Shouchun, so he naturally became much cunning in this battle.
But Han Xin never expected that it was Xiang Yu who caused this situation, but Xiang Yu did not intentionally. Moreover, Xiang Yu is not leading the Huns' cavalry at all, but he doesn't know where to go.
"Send the order! Use Qin crossbows to cause damage to the Huns to the greatest extent. Our Qin cavalry is ready. If you get within half a mile, you will rush out. The infantry will sweep the formation on both wings, defending the position and unable to retreat!"
Although the Huns' actions were a bit beyond Han Xin's expectations, Han Xin knew that the Huns must not know how much troops they had to wait for their labor, and they encountered an ambush as soon as they came in, and the Huns must also be filled with fear of the unknown ahead.
So as long as he can let his troops exert his combat power, he will definitely be able to firmly suppress the Huns' cavalry for a period of time. However, Han Xin doesn't know how much time it can be suppressed. After all, the armor and equipment that Ying Gao has recently equipped him with specialized in dealing with the Huns, or stirrups, are all the first time he has participated in such a war. The real effect is only to wait for the end of the battle to know.
At this time, Maodun had already rushed from the central army to command the battle. His expression was obviously very serious, because he did not find the corpses of Xiang Yu and Long Qi when he was shot by the Qin soldiers for the first time. This only shows one thing, that is, they both ran away in the chaos. As for where they ran, it was not the first thing Maodun should care about now. What he needed to care about was whether he could pass through this ambush smoothly.
Maodun didn't know how big the open space there was before his team in such a dark night, nor did he know what kind of ambush there were next to these arrows. He only knew that once he reached the vicinity of Qin Crossbow, he would be considered to have broken this wave of ambush.
Sure enough, after paying the lives of thousands of cavalry, Maodun led his army to the foot of a mountain. Obviously, those who held Qin crossbows had fired nearby, and after that, the arrows in the sky finally disappeared.
But before Maodun could take a good look at what was happening around him, suddenly, there was another shocking shout of killing on both sides of the mountain, without any time for him to breathe, and without giving him time to think about this battle.
After hearing the shouts of killing, Maodun was really nervous. With such waves, what he faced was always unknown. This was an unprecedented challenge for Maodun, who knew everything and controlled everything in the Huns' territory.
Finally, the shouts of killing came to the front. These were two large groups of cavalrymen. As soon as they saw the cavalry of the Huns, they fought in one place without saying a word.
However, this situation made Maodun breathe a little relieved. This encounter between cavalry and cavalry was Maodun's favorite way of fighting. He was sure that this team of cavalry of Daqin would be killed and all of his Hun cavalry would be knocked down within one night. By that time, he would not believe that Daqin could do anything other than infantry that could not function.
