Chapter 369 Commanding Heights

The Huns' personal guards approached the Qin army with great momentum.

They have the capital to be "strong".

You should know that this is the territory of the Huns, with Huns everywhere, and the Qin army in front of them is only a few hundred people... Then it is easy to solve it?

The Huns, including Maodun, all thought that these hundreds of Qin troops were just small troops that had sneaked into Yinshan.

Mao Dun was still secretly glad that these Qin troops only bombed gunpowder workshops.

The gunpowder workshop can be opened again if it is blown up, but it is just a few tents and some slaves.

If they brought "Shocking Thunder" to blow up the mine, it would be troublesome.

However, the following facts soon made Maodun and the Huns feel something was wrong...

The Qin army did not fight with the Huns, and then retreated to the mountain after firing a few arrows.

The Huns' personal guards were not willing to let them go. They shouted and protested while chasing them. Occasionally, several Huns took down their bows and arrows and shot towards the retreating Qin army.

However, the Qin army was at a high place and holding a square vine shield, so bows and arrows could not pose a threat to it.

However, the Huns were not in a hurry, followed slowly in the rear, and even crossed in several directions.

Because they knew that walking to a higher place would be a dead end, and on the other side were an impassable cliff, which could never escape.

But the next second they found themselves wrong.

Because after they crossed a mountain, they found a city wall in front of them. Two Hun soldiers were shot down by Qin army crossbow arrows as soon as they were protruding their heads.

The Huns who rushed in front hurriedly reported to Daigo who was following behind.

Daigo Kaeda was a commander of the thousand men and a relative of Maodun Shanyu.

At this time, the Huns generally did not understand "family affection". This was a characteristic of the primitive settlement that had not yet been civilized... Everyone gathered together to live like a big family, so it was not important for direct and side-linked relatives.

Of course, there are factors that are not civilized enough. If you read the books of sages and know etiquette, you will have a stronger sense of family affection.

The Huns did not have the saying that they read, and their family affection was more of the original, survival-oriented family affection.

That is, they will protect the calves out of instinct, but they will also abandon or even eat the weak due to insufficient nutrition for the survival of the fittest.

Therefore, the historical Touman Shanyu wanted to use Yuezhi to kill his son Maodun, and then Maodun successfully escaped and killed Touman. During this period, Maodun also used his wife as a target to train his personal guards...

In the Central Plains, people looked cruel and ruthless, but in the eyes of the Huns, it was no big deal.

Maodun often studied the Central Plains military strategy and knew more, so he also developed the habit of using relatives as his relatives.

When Qida climbed up the top of the mountain, he felt something was wrong.

Because there is not only one city above, there are two other city walls that occupy the commanding heights and main roads of the mountain respectively.

However, Qida still did not hesitate and immediately ordered his subordinates to attack in several parts.

Just kidding, if I were afraid of these hundreds of Qin troops, wouldn’t it be a joke to have become a grassland?

So the Huns divided into several parts and attacked the city:

The two branches constrain the two fronts from the front, while the other two branches interspersed from the middle to find opportunities to encircle them from the back.

This is a common tactic used by the Huns.

It's just that it's more used for cavalry than infantry attacks.

There is no problem with cavalry using this tactic, but infantry attacks, especially attacking three villages like this that form an "iron triangle"...

The two paths in the middle are actually inserted into the enemy's encirclement.

You can imagine what will happen next.

The Qin army did not waste much firepower on the Hun soldiers attacking head-on.

This is because the Hun soldiers usually carry a round shield, which is made of cowhide... The Huns cannot smel metals, so there are not many bronze shields. The cowhide is light and easy to carry, and it is more suitable for cavalry use.

These cowhide shields can well defend against crossbow arrows in the hands of the Qin army.

In fact, this is also because the crossbow arrows are relatively straight, like bows and arrows, they can shoot arrows to the sky and attack targets from top to bottom.

The disadvantage of straight crossbow ballistics is that the ballistics are easier to estimate and are more easily obstructed by shields, and it is difficult to have a killing effect when attacking targets with shields on the front.

The Huns also seized this point and used their main force to take the frontal attack.

But soon they discovered that head-on attack was not a good idea, because the Qin army had "thunder" in their hands...

As soon as the Huns approached the city, they would throw a bunch of "thunderstorms" down above their heads.

These "shocking thunders" are not as easy as crossbow arrows to estimate the ballistics and the shield blocks it.

In fact, it's useless to block it with a shield.

It blocked it and fell under its feet, and then it "boomed" not only blows the Hun soldiers away, but also lifts up a large piece of gravel and shoots down, which only makes the Hun soldiers scream.

The team of Huns interspersed from the middle road was even more terrible. They were hit by a 360-degree firepower attack from the Qin army in three cities.

Crossbow arrows flew from their flanks and backs like locusts, shooting down the Hun soldiers one by one.

However, the Huns were unwilling to admit defeat. At the command of the centurion, they raised their shields to cover each other and continue to move forward.

They know they are in danger.

But at the same time, they believed that only by restraining the enemy's firepower, can we succeed and win the battle.

But soon they realized that this idea was too far away from the facts...

With a "swoosh", an iron crossbow arrow shot down quickly.

The iron crossbow arrow was fired by the three-bow bed crossbow, which itself had dozens of kilograms, and it was shot from top to bottom... This could not be blocked by the skin shield in the hands of the Huns.

With a scream, the Hun soldiers and shields shot were nailed to the ground. He was bleeding from his mouth and held the iron crossbow arrow that was inserted into his abdomen in a conditioned manner, as if he wanted to pull it out of his body.

But soon he discovered something even more terrifying: a huge "sky-shaking thunder" was tied to the shaft of the iron crossbow arrow, and there were also blue smoke...

With a "boom", the "Sky Thunder" exploded in the Huns' shield formation, and immediately exploded the Huns into chaos.

And this is just the beginning.

The iron crossbow arrows shot down one after another, and the Huns shield formation quickly collapsed with the sound of explosions.

At this time, dense crossbow arrows flew towards the Huns from three directions.

The Qin army's tactics are very simple. They use the three-bow bed crossbow and the "Pi Li Fireball" to break the formation, and then use the powerful crossbow to kill and damage the enemy's vitality on a large scale.

The Huns were defeated and their offensive only lasted for a cup of tea and retreated like a tide.

Only piles of corpses and wounded people who were too late to take them away.

The injured let out a scream and a wail, and many of them tried to climb down the mountain with injuries...
