Hearing Bolden’s order, the Hun leader did not hesitate, and with a shout, he rushed out ahead of the others.
The guards around him also hurriedly followed.
Immediately after, in that long array of Hun cavalry, there was a constant stream of cavalrymen who left the main group and rushed after their leader.
In the end, the three thousand tribal cavalrymen, following the Hun leader, formed a torrent of cavalry and rushed towards the Qin army on the edge of the Great Wall!
Bolden’s face was also slightly serious at this time, leading his men towards the front.
He wanted to see what the Qin army had to rely on that they actually dared to come out of the Great Wall to fight them!
This time, he is going to tell this Qin people that the grassland is always the battlefield of the grassland people!
Slowly approaching the Great Wall, Bolden’s complexion slightly moved, he seemed to have noticed something, and looked up towards the Great Wall, he had an inexplicable feeling.
The one arch enemy in his own heart was there!
At this moment, on the Great Wall.
Meng Tian was on the highest point of the Great Wall with Zhao Lang, looking at the battle below.
Both of them were surrounded by guards.
By all accounts, this was on the Great Wall, so there couldn’t be any problems, and the Huns couldn’t assassinate in this situation.
It’s just that Meng Tian knew that these guards weren’t there to prevent assassins, this was to prevent Zhao Lang from going to war.
As for jumping, as long as Zhao Lang didn’t lose his mind, he wasn’t in a place where he would jump.
This experience, naturally, was told to him by his younger brother, Meng Yi.
Anyway, he will not let Zhao Lang personally go to the battlefield, he can be too clear about the current situation of Great Qin, Zhao Lang such a solid position of the heir.
It is more important than anything else.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, even if we lose the war with the Huns this time.
As long as Zhao Lang is around, three years later, it will be easy for Great Qin to counterattack.
And even if we win this time, if Zhao Lang has any shortcomings, then for the whole Great Qin, it would be a catastrophe!
Therefore, even if Zhao Lang forced Han Xin to go on, he admitted that he was going to follow the other party anyway.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, this General Han’s army training is indeed good.”
“These slave-born soldiers are extremely orderly just by looking between runs.”
“And so quickly gathered into a square formation, and also formed this one gun formation, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, extremely good.”
Looking down at the swiftly moving Great Qin New Army, Meng Tian couldn’t help but say with a few moments of admiration.
Zhao Lang also nodded his head, Han Xin had said to him that these people had only practised these movements, these were against the Huns, to be useful was good!
Although Meng Ten did not want the other side to go to war this time, but there are advantages that still need to be complimented, he just took a closer look at the soldiers below for a few moments, he quickly asked, the
“Eh? Why do these people have only one lance in their hands, mostly made of wood and bamboo? Is it because they are lightly armoured?”
Generally speaking, Great Qin’s soldiers would have a bronze or iron weapon on their person.
But most of these people had only one, lance made of wood or bamboo in their hands, and a very small portion of them were bronze spearheads.
Zhao Lang said, at this time, with an expressionless face.
“No, because these are the only weapons they have in their hands right now.”
Great Qin had been fighting for a few years, and all of their previous reserves were almost used up.
Even though the smithing supervisor was fully committed to manufacturing, it was impossible to supply 150,000 slave recruits with weapons in such a short period of time, so it could only be simplified together first.
Good thing, these ordinary Huns, there is also no heavy armour on their bodies.
Furthermore, the role of these new troops is to slow down the speed of the Hun cavalry and kill them, which is taken care of by the well-equipped Qin Border Army.
Hearing Zhao Lang’s words, Meng Tian also realised what was going on and did not say anything more at once.
Soldiering matters, were originally very cruel.
In the minds of these generals of theirs, human lives were, indeed, calculable.
After a period of silence, looking at the Hun cavalry not far away charging towards here, Meng Tian said, with a few moments of pity.
“I hope they can keep some more Huns down.”
Without their speed, the Huns would not be a match for the Qin army without their numbers exceeding too many.
Zhao Lang also looked at the battlefield under this Great Wall at this time.
At this time, there were still countless Qin troops swarming out from the city gates.
All of the Qin troops that had gone out had found their positions one by one according to the drills they had trained for countless times along the way.
Then they pinned the tails of the lances in their hands to the ground, with the shafts angled upwards, forming a forest of lances.
Somewhat nervously, they looked towards the other end of the grassland.
Because, there, a line of Hun cavalry that was countless times wider than it was during training was furiously charging towards them!
Just when everyone could hear the sound of gulping amongst each other, a calm and steady voice rang out that
“Steady! Don’t be nervous.”
“It’s just like what we usually train for, hold the barrel of the gun and these b*****ds will crash into it on their own!”
Everyone looked towards the voice and realised that it was a Da Qin officer with a somewhat large head.
Only the weapon in his hand was a bit strange, it was a broken spear, and an arrow.
Naturally, everyone knew him.
“Big Head, aren’t you afraid?”
Big Head grinned at this time
said.
“Of course I’m afraid, but I’m not afraid!”
“Those Huns look fierce, but they’re also human, and they can be killed if they’re human!”
“If we kill one of them, we’ll be promoted one level, then we’ll be nobles! Hahaha, we slaves will be nobles one day!”
“Go back and raise our eyebrows as well! Let’s see who dares to call us slaves! Slandering Great Qin nobles is a serious offence!”
Even a first-class Gongshi, that’s a knighthood!
Hearing this, the others also laughed.
Although they had entered the Qin army, they were already theoretically the status of the people.
However, in the eyes of the others, they were still slaves, and the concepts that had always been there were not so easy to change.
That is, within the Qin army, those border troops and elites, in private, they all call them slave army!
But if they really have a title, whoever dares to call them slaves again, then they can be directly punished!
Military titles! Not to be insulted!
Soon enough, these words spread out in all directions as well.
For a while, amongst this group of people, there was also a bit more of an atmosphere of blood and courage going forward!
It was just that everyone’s smiles hadn’t lasted long before they coldly and somewhat demoralisedly said.
“What if we die?”
Instantly, the crowd’s laughter stalled.
They had certainly thought about all of this, and the chances of them dying were actually greater, just by looking at the equipment in their hands, and they knew that they were just cannon fodder.
They just didn’t want to talk about it.
Big Head at this time looked fiercely at the place where the voice came from, and then shouted out.
“When training in the army, many brethren have also died, and you have seen the treatment after death!”
“The family was divided into fields and houses! The fields are not good fields, and the houses are just wooden houses!”
“But think about it, when have we ever had any of this in our lives!”
“Dying as a slave can be half as good? So now, what about dying here?!”
In the next instant, there were a few more moments of fortitude between the crowd.
Not bad, their lives were worthless anyway.
What’s wrong with dying here and still getting a share of the fields and houses?
At this time, the centurion on the side also looked at Big Head with some surprise, centurions are the backbone of the Qin army, not slaves.
He didn’t expect that this big head, who had always performed well, would actually inspire morale and respond to changes, which was extremely rare.
This was a good seedling.
If the other party could survive this time, it would be possible to recommend him upwards.
As for the one with bad morale, he didn’t think the other could survive.
Soon, there was a tremor coming from the ground.
All the Qin troops looked up and saw that the Hun cavalry was already close by!
Everyone was instantly ready to receive the enemy.
The Qin troops at the very front roared even more angrily to cheer themselves up!
Of course, no one laughed at the other side, the might of these Hun cavalrymen was not comparable to the few hundred cavalrymen in training.
Just when the Qin army in front thought that the Hun cavalry would crash headlong into them, the Hun cavalry at the forefront was in a position of tens of paces, and suddenly turned the dock.
They gently swept past the army.
Just when the crowd was still a little confused.
The various centurions had already hissed loudly and
“Shake the guns! Shake the gun! Shake the guns!”
This was their usual training programme, shaking the gun, as the name implied, was to shake the lance in one’s hand.
Soon, the entire air above the gun formation shook.
Countless long spears were shaking in the air, which appeared to look somewhat ridiculous.
But in the next instant, a burst of arrows shot out from the Hun cavalry that swept past!
Cavalry shooting!
With stirrups, the Huns’ hands were almost completely free.
Buzz!
Countless arrows covered the sky and shot towards the Qin army!
Although the lances swinging in the air knocked off quite a few of the arrows, there were still inevitably arrows that shot into the lance formation.
Duh duh duh!
A sound of arrows entering the flesh!
It was followed by a miserable howl, and the sound of various officers calling out their orders, the
“Ah!!! There are arrows on me! I don’t want to die…”
“Steady! Hold the lance if you’re not dead!”
“I’m in pain!”
“Hold the lance even if you’re dead!”
But in the distance, from the ranks of the Hun cavalry, came a loud laugh.
For a while, the battlefield was in chaos.
At this time, on the Great Wall, Zhao Lang looked at the Qin army that could only stand still and take a beating, and his face was a bit ugly.
The stirrup thing, when he first took out the stirrups, it was to deal with the grassland peoples.
However, he did not expect that it would harden his own feet.
The cavalry of the Qin army is still too little.
“Why aren’t you firing arrows?”
Zhao Lang asked with a frown.
Meng Tian sighed slightly in his heart and replied back, the
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, the distance is too far for ordinary crossbows to fire, and yet the stock of crossbows is not much…”
Zhao Lang fell silent for a moment.
He understood what Meng Tian meant, if
It wasn’t him who gave the order to attack, the Qin army could of course rely on the Great Wall and counterattack with ordinary crossbows and arrows.
Of course, if that was the case, the other side wouldn’t have come down to the city.
One wanted these people to schedule Jun early, then one had to accept the consequences.
Just what about the bow soldiers in Han Xin’s own army?
Zhao Lang searched for a while and suddenly saw something, and his expression changed slightly.
Meng Tian returned at this time.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, should the old minister order the troops to withdraw?”
This order to withdraw the troops could of course only be given by him.
Otherwise, changing the order would damage Zhao Lang’s prestige.
It was just that Zhao Lang was still shaking his head.
He trusted Han Xin.
Meng Tian wanted to say something at this time, but suddenly, he looked at the situation below and was slightly stunned.
Because in the midst of this chaotic battlefield, the rest of the Qin army, however, was still marching in an extremely orderly fashion.
It was as if there was a pair of big, invisible hands, controlling everything.
Meng Ten couldn’t help but look at the part that was being attacked at this time, and this time he realised that the square formation that seemed to be somewhat isolated.
It was actually a piece of bait that had been deliberately thrown out.
Although it was miserable, once they entangled each other, the rest of the Qin army would surround them!
At this moment, Han Xin was riding on his horse with a cold expression, looking at everything in the battlefield.
In his mouth, he was giving orders without stopping for a moment.
Of course, the battle on the other side was still going on.
The Hun leader’s face was filled with bloodthirsty fervour at this time, and as he watched the Qin soldiers holding up their lances fall under the arrows, he even revealed a burst of maniacal laughter.
This was the power of their steppe nation!
Without engaging you in battle, they have to first shoot the other party to be unable to resist.
Unfortunately, this time, this lance of the opponent blocked some arrows, otherwise, the damage they caused would have been greater!
They had already shot two rounds by this time.
It was almost ready for impact, and if it wasn’t for the small swing space here, they could have released a few more rounds of arrows.
But strangely enough, they didn’t see the Qin army’s crossbow soldiers, the other side would normally use this to suppress them.
It was probably because they hadn’t reached this position yet, after all, they were initiating the surprise attack.
So, all the more reason to hurry up too!
After eating this piece of the Qin army, he was going to hurry back.
This time it was just a demonstration, not a full-scale war.
Quickly, the Hun leader gave a hand signal.
The entire cavalry force then split into two groups extremely naturally, and then attacked towards the Qin army in different directions!
He wanted to break these people in one go!
Once they routed, that was the time to hunt them down!
Soon, the Hun leader was under the protection of his own personal soldiers, heading towards the Qin army!
With the sound of the whistling wind in his ears, the Hun chieftain flattened the weapon in his hand slightly at this time.
With this kind of speed, for him to kill someone, he didn’t even need much strength.
The horse beneath him would give him the strength!
The distance between the two sides gradually drew closer, and the Hun leader could see the look of fear on the faces of the Qin troops in the front row!
Something else was being chanted from his mouth!
Of course, he couldn’t hear it.
Instead, a smile appeared on his face, for he was familiar with this expression; when he had killed his way into the Qin Kingdom, the people who had not been able to evacuate in time had the same kind of fear on their faces!
Based on experience, with just a few more kills, these people would be routed!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A crashing sound came over!
Both sides eventually crashed together!
A wailing sound once again resounded on the battlefield!
Only this time, there were also Qin troops whose bodies were sent flying into mid-air.
The speed of the Hun cavalry inevitably slowed down.
The Hun leader was not panicking at this time, but with every swing of the weapon in his hand, a Qin army wailed and fell!
He could sense that this group of Qin troops was weak!
Much weaker than the usual Qin Border Army!
He couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy rise in his heart, it seemed that he would soon be able to crush the other side.
Thus, the force in his hands became heavier!
But soon, he realised that something was wrong, although they were killing extremely freely and the ground had long been filled with the corpses of the Qin army, the speed of the surrounding cavalry was getting slower and slower!
He looked around, but found that, he didn’t know when, the surroundings were already full of Qin troops!
The Hun leader realised that it was bad, and instantly shouted.
“Quickly! Everyone break out…”
Before he could finish his words, he saw out of the corner of his eye that a silhouette suddenly jumped out from amongst the corpses of the Qin army on the ground.
That silhouette had a broken spear in one hand and an arrow in the other.
Then ruthlessly stabbed these two things into his body!
Pfft! Poof!
Even if he was a chieftain, he was still a human being, and a human being could be killed!
The Hun leader’s eyes went black before he was pulled off his horse by this figure and fell into the Qin army’s corpses.
It was then that he heard what those Qin troops were chanting under their breath, the
“You can’t retreat, you can’t retreat even if you die!”
