Opportunities are fleeting, and battlefield decisions must be made quickly.
Having heard the news from the scouts, Han Xin’s mind had already been racing!
His scouts had actually placed far enough, but he hadn’t thought that the Huns had actually placed even farther.
But this wasn’t necessarily all bad.
Soon enough, Han Xin ordered to the road that
“Bows and crossbows all released! Alternate cover and withdraw from the battlefield!”
“Set fire to the tents around the camp, and all the provisions that can’t be taken away, set fire to them too!”
This camp was supposed to be a cover, the supplies weren’t much, just enough for the daily consumption of the army, leaving it open was also getting it by the other side.
It would be better to just light it up and stop the enemy.
Of course, more importantly, Boldon should be satisfied with such a defeat.
The messenger was puzzled though as to why he should just abandon the camp instead of defending it.
But still, they began to carry out the order extremely quickly.
The general’s orders were not something they could understand.
Soon, the messengers were able to transmit the orders to the various ministries.
The Qin army naturally responded accordingly.
Retreating, not running backwards in a brainstorm, that is called routing.
Of course, a retreat can easily turn into a rout if it is not executed well.
Simply put, retreating tests a general’s ability more than attacking.
Although the Qin army was retreating, the Qin soldiers in front of them were killing even more fiercely!
The crossbowmen in the middle and the rear crossbow arrows, too, were launched almost simultaneously.
The crossbows and arrows that were originally only used at critical times were fired outwards in bursts as if they didn’t need money!
Under the arrows that covered the sky, countless Hun cavalrymen were shot off their horses in the air, then lay on the ground wailing!
But the end was often being shot into the throat by another crossbow kind of arrow!
Seeing this scene, countless Qin troops roared out in excitement, only the supply battalion at the back was jumping and cursing!
This was all the stockpile!
Crossbows and arrows are just so expensive!
Otherwise, the Qin army would have shot all the way there.
What’s the point of fighting the other side in close quarters?
After shooting, the Qin troops who manoeuvred the crossbows and arrows directly destroyed the bows and crossbows.
They are retreating now, they can’t take these things with them, lest the Huns pick up their crossbows and arrows and then turn around and hit them.
But the effect was still extremely obvious, between the Qin army and the Huns, a gap appeared.
At this time, the Qin army was extremely decisive and Xiongnu disengaged.
Then they retreated back towards the camp.
When the Huns
When the people recovered and directly attacked the Qin army camp, the Qin army directly set fire to it!
The flames blocked the pursuit.
Of course, there is also a way to set a fire, set it badly and trap yourself directly in the fire, that would be ridiculous.
It’s a good thing that Han Xin won’t make this kind of cheap mistake.
So when Lingdon brought his own royal court guards, and came to the front of the Qin army camp, there was already nothing but a sea of fire here!
“Shan Yu! The Qin army has fled! We’ve won!”
King Zuo Xian said with a bit of excitement!
The main force of the Qin army fled, and now it can even be said that the entire northern part of the Qin state is already theirs!
Boldon could not help but reveal a smile at this time, the Qin army could only flee in defeat under his pincer attack!
But he was not satisfied!
The Qin god of war, until just now, are still flaunting their power!
More importantly, the Qin army’s main force is still there!
“Escape? How can they escape?”
Bolden suppressed his complacency at this point and said, with a touch of cruelty, that
“The sheep have panicked, and it is time for us to hunt!”
“Pass the order! Bypass the camp, and pursue them!”
Theirs are cavalry, the other side’s are infantry, and this area here, is also a plain!
Although there are farmland, woods, small rivers and other obstacles, unlike the grassland so open and flat, there is no way to attack from all sides.
You know, the horse also has physical strength, running these terrain wear and tear is still very big.
But even so, these Qin troops could not outrun them!
Soon, the Huns received the order to howl with great excitement!
One by one, the Hun nobles led their own troops around the camp and chased towards the Qin army!
On the vast plains of Qin’s northern region, the huge Qin army barely maintained their formation, and retreated along the main road in a fixed direction.
And all around are the Hun cavalry.
They didn’t dive headlong into the Qin army’s formation, such a loss was too great.
Instead, they followed the rear and ate the other side’s perimeter one bite at a time!
Drawing in the silk until the end!
When these people are completely exhausted, that’s when they’ll lay their hands on them.
At the very back of the Great Qin army formation, Big Head was also running around with his head buried in his hands with the Slave New Army.
They were lightly armoured and could actually run faster, but Han Xin’s order was that they had to be at the end.
Big head actually had some extremely arrogant thoughts in his mind, such as against the girl!
However, in the Qin army, they understand more about the Qin border army’s terrible, head-on confrontation, they 50,000 people, are not necessarily able to beat each other 10,000 people.
To know, the Qin border army whether equipment, or body, are not they can be compared.
Big head all the way to think, all the way to escape.
When a burst of hoofbeats sounded behind him, Big Head’s heart sank, and he glanced towards a Slave New Army Thousand General next to him.
The opposite party stopped without hesitation and roared.
“The old man’s men stay!”
Then the thousand men at the end stopped, took up their bamboo guns, and formed a formation.
Soon after, Big Head heard a burst of shouts, and roars!
Big Head didn’t turn around, because he knew that these people wouldn’t come back alive.
This was their way of blocking the Hun cavalry, relying on the terrain to use human lives, and sniping layer by layer… Or rather, delay.
And for as long as this stretch of road was, they had to delay it for as long as they could.
“I also wonder if these 50,000 men are enough?”
Big Head suddenly thought.
Waiting for
The killing continued until evening, and on the roads, the corpses of the slave neophytes were everywhere.
Not all of them had the will to die, some of them took advantage of the chaos to escape, but unfortunately, this area had already been filled with Huns’ scattered soldiers.
They had no place to run to.
But fortunately, at this time, the Qin army found a small hill that was not too steep, relying on the terrain, with the help of the night, blocked the invasion of the Huns.
“Shan Yu! The Qin army is on a hill in front of us!”
Zuo Xian Wang, who was a bit out of breath from running all the way, reported to Boldon at this time.
Bolden nodded and then said.
“Have the ministries regroup and surround this place! Rest for the night and attack tomorrow!”
All of the tribes had gone a little crazy killing today, killing at least 20,000 Qin troops!
And this place, as he just looked over when he came over, was an extremely open area, suitable for cavalry assaults!
This is where these Qin troops will die!
As for that tiny hill, it wasn’t a big deal, a few charges would take it down!
Breaking the Qin army’s main force will be tomorrow!
At the thought of this, Bolden’s heart couldn’t help but be a little fiery!
Soon, he was going to be the king of the entire world!
