The stage of shouting and threatening between the two sides has long since been completed.
So the meeting was when the battle began.
There was not much new in it except brutality.
The first thing that started was naturally shooting at each other, the Huns’ arrows were like a wild wind and rain, shooting at the Qin army in bursts.
The Qin army at the very edge, even if they desperately resisted, they could not avoid it.
In fact, the Huns’ single arrow’s damage is not big, which has a lot of stone arrows, wolf tooth arrows, iron arrows instead is very little.
But the clothing on the outermost slave recruits was not thick, and their flesh and blood bodies could not carry these arrows.
The wailing sound resounded in the sky at the first time…
“I’ve been hit by an arrow! Blood! So much blood! Help me! ”
“Ah! I don’t want to die! I 。。。。。 Well.”
“Healer! I need a healer!”
Even after a battle, it didn’t mean they weren’t afraid of death.
Only those who were the backbone of the Great Qin Border Army were roaring in anger that
“Don’t raise your heads! Protect the vitals! Shake the bamboo spear! Deflect the arrows! ”
After the people in the front fell, someone from the back quickly stepped up.
Those who are injured are also pulled in to be rescued.
The arrows of the Qin army, on the other hand, were mostly bronze and iron tipped, and as long as they were hit, it was a wound!
It’s just that these Huns would have no one to save them!
After the counter-shooting, the Huns didn’t hesitate, and large groups of cavalry started attacking from both sides.
The movements of the Hun cavalry were simple, run, grapple or crash.
The Qin army’s response was equally simple, raising their spears, stabbing or blocking.
But every time they did so, tens or hundreds of lives were lost.
The battlefield was noisy and chaotic, some were scared, some panicked, and of course, some were calm and some were frenzied.
But all of this fell in Han Xin’s eyes, but only calmness.
One order after another was issued from his mouth, and the Qin army acted accordingly.
This was how these new troops had been trained all along.
Just what the others didn’t know was that sometimes, Han Xin would even intentionally reveal a breach to attract the Xiongnu to attack, in order to be able to kill more of the opposing cavalry within a reasonable range.
Of course, these new troops were unaware of this.
Only the ones standing on the high ground could see it.
Zhao Lang was standing high at this time, looking over the high point of the Great Wall.
He could see the dense Qin army in strict formation according to the military formation, as if they were an old turtle.
And running around, were the Hun cavalry in a longer formation, looking like vipers.
Both sides from the initial stage of mutual testing, to close combat, he could see clearly.
The viper used the mounted shot as a poisonous letter, wandering around the old turtle to test the waters, looking for an opportunity.
The old turtle used his crossbow as a sharp claw to strike back.
Both sides are damaged.
In Zhao Lang’s eyes, the old turtle dropped some turtle shells, which was nothing compared to that huge body.
The viper had also only become slightly thinner, such a small change that it was completely unnoticeable.
On the contrary, the battle between the two sides, from a distance, high up looked a different kind of beauty.
But Zhao Lang knew that every piece of that disappearing tortoise shell was tens or hundreds of Qin troops.
He could also see that Han Xin had deliberately exchanged lives for lives.
It was just that he was standing high and far away, and he couldn’t see what those Qin troops looked like fighting to the death, nor could he hear their wailing before they died.
Of course, he wouldn’t try to stop it, because if the sacrifice couldn’t be avoided, then it had to be used for the greater good of all.
And, of course, he would not rejoice in the resulting benefits.
Failure to do the former is insensitive to fail to do the latter.
“Can’t get too high and too far away.”
Zhao Lang muttered.
“What did His Highness the Crown Prince say?”
Meng Tian picked up at this time.
This time the position of commander-in-chief was given to Han Xin, who was in charge of the rear.
That’s why he came here as well.
“Eh?”
Zhao Lang came back to his senses at this time, then said.
“Nothing, it’s just that I’m too far away to see the situation of the battlefield.”
Meng Tian nodded at this time and said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t need to be worried, nowadays it seems that Han Xin is still relatively stable.”
“Today should just be a mutual test, the real big battle will come later.”
Zhao Lang nodded, he naturally knew that hundreds of thousands of armies fighting, it couldn’t be one or two days to separate the winner from the loser.
Seeing that Zhao Lang’s complexion was a bit uncomfortable, Meng Tian of course knew what it was about.
In his heart, however, he had a few moments of happiness, if the other party was a general facing a battlefield with this kind of behaviour, he would educate the other party.
But Zhao Lang was a crown prince, so it was different.
So he revealed a smile and said.
“If we can find a way to kill Boldon, it will be much easier to deal with the Xiongnu.”
After killing Boldon, the Huns naturally dispersed.
It was just that this was basically impossible.
The opponent’s protection is still very tight.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lang’s eyes, however, lit up slightly, and he quickly said to Slave.
“Call Su, Big Dog, Big Cat and the others to the tent for me.”
These days, Su and the Junior Army, they weren’t idle and were arranged out by Zhao Lang.
The second set of luring the enemy was still better for him to set up himself.
But if he could eliminate these Huns outside, why would he need to bring people in?
After saying that, he walked towards his own tent.
He couldn’t help much here.
Soon after he returned to the tent, Su walked in panting with the two of them, Big Hair Big Dog.
“Family master. You…. Looking for us?”
They had run all the way here.
Zhao Lang nodded and quickly said.
“How are the preparations over there?”
Su returned.
“The gunpowder is almost finished, but the bamboo tubes are a bit insufficient.”
“Now in a large number of making small wooden barrels and cloth bags, anyway, can be buried, can be burned.”
Zhao Lang nodded, he just loved the ideas of the teenagers on the manor who were not bound by ordinary rules, and quickly said.
“You guys go and transform an explosive crossbow with high precision and a longer range out and send it over.”
Explosive crossbow, the same one that Zhao Lang used to bomb Xiang Yu before.
Only this time, he needed a crossbow with a longer range and higher precision.
Hearing this, several people revealed a look of difficulty, how could this thing be so easy.
If it was really that easy, they would have made it a long time ago, and there would be no need to cover it with fire.
Big Dog let out a bitter smile at this time and said.
“Family master, the existing bow range in the army is already at its limit, and this accuracy can’t be adjusted in a short period of time.”
Big Dog directly stated.
Thinking about it, Bolden, as the army’s commander-in-chief, wouldn’t go to the frontline himself.
The distance between the two armies is feared to be more than a thousand metres, and nowadays it is almost impossible for a bow to maintain accuracy at this distance, not to mention, the other side is not stupid, and will definitely avoid seeing a large bow.
After Zhao Lang heard this, he could only sigh, he was still in a hurry, tada, said.
“Then it’s also better to prepare two first and see if there’s a chance to use them.”
Big Dog nodded, then led the people away.
For the rest of the time, Zhao Lang didn’t look at the battlefield again, he couldn’t do much more anyway, so he might as well take care of the military affairs.
By noon, the sound of sounding gold sounded outside the tent, and only then did Zhao Lang head towards the middle army tent.
Not long after, as the gates of the Great Wall opened, countless Qin troops returned within the Great Wall.
The logistics forces that had already been prepared immediately greeted them and began to hand over.
Let the soldiers and soldiers recover their strength as soon as possible.
This was going to be back-to-back days of fighting.
Zhao Lang and Meng Ten also saw Han Xin in the tent.
Meng Ten asked directly at this time.
“How is the battle going?”
Han Xin revealed a slightly proud look at this time, saluted and returned, and
“The enemy casualties are over ten thousand!”
Zhao Lang and Meng Ten’s eyes both lit up, this 10,000 people may not sound like much, but in reality, it could be said to be a great victory!
With the medical conditions of the Huns, injuries could only be fought off by life, and subsequent deaths would surely expand.
Only Zhao Lang’s joy didn’t last long, quickly gritting his teeth, he asked that
“How are the casualties of our army?”
Han Xin didn’t hesitate either, and quickly returned, and
“Around thirteen thousand. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Lang’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
He knew that some of these soldiers, I’m afraid, were still deliberately sent by Han Xin.
But he didn’t say much, this strategy of exchanging lives, he had agreed to it.
The only thing he could comfort himself with was that within these people, it should be possible to save some of them.
Just what could be met now was that if Bolden was satisfied with the result, then the battlefield that followed would transform into a millstone of flesh and blood!
Using the soldiers from both sides as raw material, it would be up to who could not carry it first.
But here’s the thing.
Will Bolden be satisfied?
Zhao Lang couldn’t help but look in the direction of the Huns.
At this time, inside the Xiongnu camp.
Bolden was listening to King Zuo Xian’s speech.
“Shan Yu, those Yuezhi and Qiang people are making a bit of a mess, they lost more than 8,000 people today alone. ”
Eight thousand warriors can form a large tribe.
In other words, in one day’s time, a large tribe disappeared.
Bolden’s complexion, however, did not fluctuate in any way, he was supposed to use these people as expendable.
It could consume the Qin’s strength and also weaken the Yuezhi Qiang, making it easier for him to rule.
That’s why he didn’t care about the casualties on the other side… he only cared about how many Qin troops these people had killed…
“How are the casualties of the Qin army?”
If the casualties on both sides were about the same and he didn’t have the advantage, there was no point in wasting away here with these Qin troops.
Allowing these people to scatter into the Qin was just that, even if these people were surrounded and killed, the damage caused would be greater.
King Zuo Xian returned and
“It’s around fifteen thousand, those Qin people are falling in pieces, it’s impossible to count too clearly.”
Calculations on the battlefield can’t be very precise, of course, he definitely had to make the number a little bigger.
That way Shan Yu would be happier.
Sure enough, Bolden showed a smile and
“Good! Fifteen thousand men, I’d like to see how many more fifteen thousand the Qin army has.”
King Zuo Xian returned at this time with a few caution, and
“Shan Yu, then tomorrow…”
Bolden quickly returned with.
“Keep fighting them! Wear them down for two more days and you’ll be ready to go on!”
After exchanging the Yuezhi and Qiang cavalry for the Qin army and letting them get tired, he would then use the men he had been building up and try to see if he could defeat the other side in one fell swoop!
