The eagle soars high in the sky, looking up from the ground, and it looks no more than a size, because it flies too high and looks smaller. If it lands suddenly, it will be caught off guard, and when it comes to it, it will flutter and spread its wings, the length of a horse!

It is the king of birds of prey in the desert, it flies high and fast, and in order to shoot the eagle, it takes extraordinary archery skills. The Huns are nomads who bend their bows, good at archery, but it is not so easy to shoot the eagle, anyone who can shoot the eagle is known as the "eagle shooter", that is the most important marksman of the Huns, only one person in a thousand.

Ulan the Condor Archer looked up, one eye bright and the other a terrible scar. This one-eyed eye was given by the eagle, and its hook-like mouth and knife-sharp claws were the most terrible memories of Ulan's nightmares.

"No matter how powerful the eagle shooter, he may be pecked blind by the eagle next time."

The shaman in the tribe sighed like this, they all thought that Ulan had lost the hunting ability to be proud of since then, but even if Ulan lost an eye, he was still the best condor archer in Helan Mountain! The remaining eye also seems to have the sharpness of an eagle.

He knew very well why the eagle had hovered over this area for a long time, because this was a sacred spring, the only place where people and beasts could drink water within half a day's journey. Wild animals come here in batches to drink, and the eagles have the opportunity to pounce on petite foxes, yellow squirrels, and even prey on herdsmen's sheep if they are hungry......

But within a radius of 100 miles, there is not a single sheep or herdsman.

After a difficult choice, the Huns gave up Shenquan Mountain, they decided not to leave a piece of meat to the Qin people, and even threw drinking water into the corpses of dead animals to contaminate, since the Qin people wanted to occupy the pastures of the Huns, then the Huns would leave them nothing!

In addition to Ulan the Condor and dozens of warriors under his command......

Ulan retracted his gaze at the eagle, and looked at the bottom of the cliff with one eye, dozens of steps under their feet, is the gurgling and flowing divine spring, the living water can not be completely polluted, those Qin army scouts cruising nearby, after going around to no avail, will definitely come here to drink horses.

The eagle is waiting for its prey, and so is Ulan!

After waiting for a long time, finally, a group of Qin people climbed up at the foot of Shenquan Mountain, their horses remained at the foot of the mountain, and Wulan's horses were tied in the forest.

There was pride written on their faces, since last year's defeat of the Huns, beheading a thousand, these Qin people have somewhat underestimated the strength of the Huns, and when they came again, the scouts sent became more and more emboldened, and even ran two hundred miles to camp in Shenquan Mountain.

It's time to make them pay!

Ulan gestured to the Huns hidden in the woods, and began to slowly pull out an arrow that had been inserted for a long time from his side.

The scouts of the Qin people wore leather helmets and were also covered with leather armor, which was two layers thick, and the bone and stone clusters were no threat to them, but Ulan, as a condor archer, had the power to use metal arrow clusters!

The strong Huns eat their essence, the old and weak eat the rest, and in the army, it is also the strong who enjoy better equipment.

He peeked out from behind the trunk, put the arrow on the string, and slowly pulled it away, aiming at a Qin pawn who was squatting down to drink water......

Ulan's arrows and horses are very special, and the tail of the arrow is without exception, with eagle wing feathers sticked, and the horse's forehead is also decorated with a circle of eagle tail feathers.

He hopes that his arrows and horses can be as fast as eagles!

And that's exactly what happened!

With a bang, it came from the woods on the mountain, and the Qin people subconsciously raised their heads and saw a black dot flying quickly closer, and immediately, the whole world turned black and red!

He let out a huge scream! And then it came to an abrupt end.

The man next to him saw that a wide arrow half a foot long and as sharp as a razor suddenly burst out from the back of his head, and the arrow shot into his eye socket and passed through his skull, turning bright red and bathed in blood......

The water bag in his hand was loose, Qin Zu shook it, and fell face down in the stream, blood dripping into the water.

"There is an enemy!"

This group of Qin cavalry should be Rong people, they shouted loudly in Rong language, grabbed bows and arrows or crossbow machines and wanted to fight back, but in the mountains and forests, countless arrows had been shot......

Ulan gritted his teeth, opened his eyes wide, and shot arrows mercilessly, just as ruthlessly as this group of Qin people burned down his tribe by the river half a year ago, killed all the people, and blinded the survivors!

Eventually, even his poor youngest son died, still holding a piece of eagle feather in his hand before he left.

He wants revenge, and if the tribe dies a hundred people, he will shoot a hundred Qin people as compensation!

There were also people around Ulan who were knocked down by the Qin people and fell to the ground, and the cries of pain were endless, and if the eagles soaring in the sky bowed their heads, they could see that the water of the divine spring was dyed red......

……

Heifu and Fusu left Xiaoguan in early May, and arrived at Huamachi City in mid-May, with 15,000 soldiers and 15,000 people using this as a base for advancement.

Fighting outside the fortress, the area is empty, the sharp-eyed Huns, across a few miles can catch a glimpse of the dust raised by the opponent's army when marching, roughly estimate the enemy's strength and weakness, and quickly flee, so the decisive battle of thousands of troops and horses is very rare, and a battle can only be achieved through repeated luring of the enemy, showing weakness, and outflanking.

But the battle between the scouts of a hundred or even ten people is going on every day in this vast wasteland. However, the Qin people invested more scouts and fewer Xiongnu, and the Qin cavalry was well equipped while the Xiongnu only had short knives and bones, so most of them ended in the victory of the Qin cavalry.

But there are always exceptions, when Heifu led 10,000 soldiers to arrive at Shenquan Mountain, two hundred miles west of Huamachi, Fu Zhi, as a pioneer, came to reply with a shameful face, saying that when the scouts attacked and explored this mountain, they were attacked by the Huns and suffered heavy losses!

"How many people died?"

Heifu frowned.

"At first, only more than ten people died, but when they heard the sound of the horn, the rest of the scouts who heard the news surrounded the Huns on all sides, but they might as well fall for the Huns' plan, and met hundreds of their horsemen, and after the battle, hundreds of people died."

The corpses were all laid out by the sacred spring, half of them died in hand-to-hand combat, half of them were killed by arrows, and the cavalry commander Yiqu White Wolf was squatting on the side, examining their wounds.

Fu Zhi's eyes were slightly red, and his fists were clenched tightly: "Among them, ten people died in the robes of the Liangjia army!" ”

The three hundred good families of Beidi County are the elite of the black man who has been trained for a long time, they are all well-equipped, skilled in bow and horse, although when they first went out to fight, this group of people was a little immature, but this time the army has been of great use, after supplementing the new recruits, the number has also expanded to a thousand.

Ten people were killed in one go, which was a great loss.

Heifu was a little distressed, looked left and right, and asked, "Where is Qianghua?" ”

Fu Zhi and Qiang Hua fought last time, and they were both promoted to official doctors because of their merits, and now they each have to command 500 horsemen, and they are divided into left and right wings to investigate the enemy.

"Qiang Hua learned that the scouts had suffered such a great loss, so he led five hundred horsemen to chase down the Huns who had set up an ambush here."

Qin Law, if you lose more than you gain, the Lord will be punished, and Qiang Hua probably wants to make up for it.

"I'm afraid it's going to be bad."

The Yiqu white wolf on the side finally spoke, he pulled out the arrow cluster around a person's neck, and said solemnly: "It is an extremely rare iron cluster in the Huns!" ”

"Generally speaking, the Xiongnu herdsmen only have clusters of bones and stones, and those who can have copper clusters are at least ten people long. Those who can have iron clusters are hundreds or thousands of people. And the feathers on this arrow shaft are not ordinary goose feathers, but extremely rare eagle feathers! ”

"There is only one kind of person who can decorate arrows with eagle feathers, the Condor Archer!"

The name of the Hun Condor Shooter, Heifu has also heard of it, I heard that only one in a thousand people can produce an Condor Shooter, they are not nobles, but they are more respected than the nobles, and they are the heroes worshiped by the Huns. The last time it fought with the Huns, although it was a chase battle, the Qin people won a one-sided victory, but there were also many people who were shot by a horse head sticking to the eagle feathers, and the arrow tail was also the eagle feathers.

Now, from Huamachi to Shenquan Barrier, the Huns have withdrawn cleanly, and there is not a single herdsman or sheep left, but the condor shooters have appeared here again, probably scouts who stayed to monitor the movements of the Qin army......

At this time, there was a commotion, someone was shouting, someone was calling for a healer!

Heifu hurriedly took the generals over to take a look, but he went to chase the Huns' Qiang Hua and so on. At first glance, they had experienced a bitter battle, and the bags on the horses were hung with the heads of hundreds of Huns, bloody, but the five hundred lord Qiang Hua did not come happily to repay the merits, but was carried on the car, with a painful expression, he was hit by a deep arrow in the shoulder, and the blood did not stop......

Hefu immediately called for a healer to treat him and asked for details about the others.

A cavalryman said: "County Captain, we have five hundred horsemen, caught up with the Huns and two hundred horsemen, fought fiercely with them, killed 100 enemies, and the rest of the Huns scattered in all directions." Five hundred lords saw that more than ten Huns fled to the southwest, the first horse was crowned with eagle feathers, and the arrows were all golden eagle feathers. Who expected that the condor shooter would fight and retreat, and each shot would be hit, wounding more than ten people, and shooting and wounding five hundred masters. We have killed all his men, but we alone could not capture the Condor Shooter, and he escaped into the forest, and then searched for it and disappeared, and the five hundred masters were seriously wounded, so they could only return......"

"Riding and shooting with the Huns is like taking your own shortness and hitting its length!"

Heifu regretted it a little, because he wanted to wait until the decisive battle to take it out as a secret weapon and catch the main force of the Huns off guard, so he did not let the Qin cavalry scouts be equipped with high saddle stirrups. If there is such a thing, Qiang Hua and the others will be like a tiger with wings, how can they let the eagle shooter escape? It also hurt many people.

"It seems that it is time for the cavalry to equip this thing!"

Only the high-saddle stirrup can make the cavalry from the agricultural area, who have not practiced for a few years, compete with the nomads who grew up on horseback, and give them a big surprise with a new tactic that has been trained for a year and a half!

Heifu also made up his mind that in this battle, the Huns must be completely defeated and make them suffer more losses than in history! It's so miserable that it can't come back.

Although they injured Qiang Hua and ran away from the Condor Shooter, these scout forwards who were dozens of miles deep in the southwest also brought back good news.

In the process of searching for the Condor Archer, they actually encountered friendly troops!

"General Li of Longxi has marched to the mouth of Qingshan Gorge! Its scouts have traveled dozens of miles to contact our army. ”

This is a happy event, this time the troops, Longxi, Beidi is a coordinated operation, from two directions to march troops, to flank the Xiongnu's Helan garrison pasture, sweep there.

"But General Li's scout also said that since crossing Wushui and entering the Xiongnu region, they have not even seen a single herdsman, a single cow or sheep, and the Huns have polluted a lot of water sources with dead animals."

"Kiyono Strongwall? What are the Huns trying to do......"

Heifu frowned, Li Mu used this method to deal with the Xiongnu back then, and the Huns also used this to deal with the attack of the Qin army? However, it is said that in history, Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty fell for this trick and drank poisonous water before he contracted the disease and died, I don't know if it's true or not, or don't be careless.

It's a pity that the Yellow River is too wide and too big for the Huns to pollute, not to mention, unlike the Huns who can't dig wells, the well sinking technology in the Central Plains is quite mature, and Heifu is an officer who requires generals to drink hot water as long as they have the conditions.

After thinking about it, Heifu wrote a letter and asked the hundred generals to take a hundred people to the west again and hand them over to the Longxi Army.

"I want to make an appointment with General Li, on the first day of the sixth month, the two major front armies of Beidi and Longxi will join forces in victory by the big river!"
