It was the middle of June, the hottest time in Saibei, and the war horses were impatiently wagging their tails and flapping their bodies to drive away mosquitoes and flies, and bowing their heads to chew on some wilting plants and trees. The Huns can no longer wear fur furs, they are all taken off and wrapped around their waists, naked, they drink the water from the oil river, while scolding, looking at the besieged Baiyang Mountain, a tentative attack has just ended, once again with the Qin army thousands of crossbows fired together, the Huns can not stand the loss and retreat......

"Horses, cattle and sheep will be weak if they don't eat water for six days, are these Qin people all tuó camels?" The Huns were very strange about this.

Camels are camels, they are the most thirsty livestock that the Huns have ever seen, they drink once and for up to ten days and a half months without drinking water.

The siege of Baiyang Mountain has entered the sixth day, according to the big danghu, there is no drinking water on the mountain, even though more than 10,000 Qin troops still have rations, but in the scorching summer, the final result is that they are thirsty and lose their combat effectiveness, and they are easily broken by the Xiongnu.

The Huns are all calculating hunters, they like to win without paying any price, wait, they have patience, like a predatory jackal, bite hard, hang far behind the tail, wait for it to completely lose its strength, and then pounce on it and tear the flesh and blood.

However, this group of Shangjun Qin troops was more resolute than Toumandan imagined, and the siege of the Xiongnu did not seem to have a good effect.

"The Qin people have a skill to dig up the ground and build a spring."

The blind one-eyed Condor Archer Ulan was making his own bow and arrows, and he didn't like this kind of impatient siege warfare, and there were not many opportunities to shoot the Qin people. However, he and a group of knights went to the old camp of the Qin army on the orders of Shan Yu, and saw a rarity called "well", a technique that the steppe people had not yet mastered.

The Huns were very curious about the well, but before Ulan could elaborate, the great pawn Su Busheng came over with a gloomy face and called his name.

"Ulan! Hurry up and go with me! ”

Indeed, the Qin army on Baiyang Mountain was not as good as the Huns imagined. There were no rivers and streams, so they let the craftsmen dig wells and get springs, although the number was small, and they distributed it to each soldier, only a small sip a day, and the most important crossbowmen in the camp could drink half a scoop a day. Most of them were so thirsty that their lips were foaming, and they would get up early in the morning to suck the dew on the grass and trees, and even fought over it.

But after all, the Shangjun soldiers were the most elite troops of the Qin Dynasty, and the soldiers were all from Guanzhong, and many of them had experienced the battle of sweeping the Six Kingdoms, although they were defeated, but the military law and military discipline were still there, and they were still able to organize a decent defense.

But as for the breakthrough, Feng Zheng didn't have the courage to do that, once he left the hills and forests, without the benefit of the crossbow car barrier, more than 10,000 Qin troops were easily divided and annihilated by tens of thousands of Huns......

Now, he can only stand on the top of Baiyang Mountain every day with a bitter face, hoping that the northern and southern armies can detect the intention of the Huns to concentrate their forces, find that they are in danger, and send troops to help......

The great achievement of establishing is in vain, and what Feng Zheng expects now is just not to be defeated and humiliated by the army.

But the lieutenant under him sent extremely bad news at this time.

"General, our army's crossbow arrows are about to run out!"

Feng Zheng suddenly became agitated and asked, "How many days are available?" ”

"For four days at most, if the arrows fired by the enemy are reused, and then people are sent to pick up arrows a hundred paces away, it may be used for six or seven ......days."

According to the rules of the Qin army, each bow and crossbow was equipped with 100 arrows, and the whole army had 3,000 crossbow soldiers and 300,000 arrows. But 100 arrows, the weight is almost twenty or thirty catties, so it is impossible to carry so many arrows on the body, so there are special carts for transporting arrows when marching.

Fortunately, when Feng Zai encountered the Hun soldiers, he did not throw away all the baggage.

But then came the problem, in order to stop the continuous attacks of the Xiongnu, they fired a large number of arrows, amounting to tens of thousands per day. When the Huns were at night, they would let the half-grown children touch about 100 steps and pick up crossbow arrows all over the ground. The crossbow bolts were short, and the compound bows and single bows of the Huns were not easy to match, so they brought them back to knock off the tuft heads and put them on the arrows of the Huns.

Therefore, as the encirclement continued, Feng Zao was shocked to find that the proportion of copper and iron in the arrows of the Huns had increased a lot, and when they were close to the rear thousand arrows, the casualties of the Qin army were also increasing.

They can hold their positions, all relying on long-range firepower, if they are broken into the melee, the Qin army is outnumbered, the situation is probably not good.

"Whew, God don't care about me?"

Feng Zai's face was withered, and he let out a long sigh, he had never suffered such a defeat since he entered the army.

Fortunately, the sentinel who watched the movement of the Huns reported another strange thing.

"General, a detachment of Huns suddenly divided their troops and headed north!"

The Huns were at least 10,000 horsemen, and the Huns were overjoyed that the Huns could only organize continuous attacks by concentrating their forces and taking away 10,000 horsemen, which meant that before they returned, the Huns could only slow down their attacks.

But the Huns were treacherous, and Feng Zheng couldn't tell if this was their ploy, and wanted to tempt him to break through.

"But if not, why did the Xiongnu divide their troops and ride away, is there a gap between the tribal monarch and Shan Yu, or is it ......"

Feng Zheng's eyes flashed with the brilliance of hope: "North...... Could it be that the two generals Qiang and Meng have come to Henan from Beijiao!? ”

……

Feng Zheng was wrong, so that the Xiongnu had to divide their troops to go north, it was not Meng Tian, but Li Xin, who was bold and careful, took advantage of the separation of the Xiongnu's front army and livestock, took the car and rode the fleet, and broke into Li Xin, who was dozens of miles north of Baiyang Mountain in one go!

Tiger Mountain is the remnant vein of Helan Mountain in the east of the river, named after the tiger infested on the mountain, this tiger is a branch of the North China tiger, the body color and markings are very light, but not white, very suitable for the grassland environment.

The grass at the foot of Tiger Mountain is a good grazing land, and it guards the mountain pass leading to the Hetao. Toumandan let a commander of a thousand men graze more than 10,000 cattle and sheep here, as well as a spare 10,000 horses, and like a man, if all the livestock are gathered in one place, the local turf will not be enough to gnaw on.

The Huns originally wanted to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but Li Xin's method of military tactics liked to win by surprise, so he ignored his allies and rushed straight to the rear of the Huns. This move really frightened Tou Manshan Yu, and the thousand scouts he arranged in the west couldn't stop it, so he could only watch Qin ride the boat downstream, and report back to Shan Yu, Shan Yu asked Xu Busheng to take 15,000 horsemen to rescue him......

At this time, the Xiongnu's offensive on Baiyang Mountain could only be stopped, and Li Xin's strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao was indeed useful.

Su Busheng was still a few hours slower, and by the time he led his army to Tiger Mountain, there was only a mess left here, with smoke billowing from felt tents, and the grazing Huns were disemboweled and dead on the ground, their corpses mixed with the slaughtered livestock, and the herds of cattle, sheep and horses were nowhere to be found, or they were dispersed or driven away by the Qin army.

When they searched for the horseshoe prints and arrived at the river at the foot of Tiger Mountain, they saw an astonishing scene: the wooden boats were connected to form a pontoon bridge, and the last Qin troops were driving the captured horses across the river, and on the other side of the river, a huge banner was hunting in the wind......

Ulan stared at the symbol on that banner, and his eyes were bleeding!

Last autumn, when Ulan followed the Great Danghu to the east, an army of only a few hundred men brought nightmares and disasters to the tribes south of Qingshan Gorge. Thousands of Xiongnu herdsmen died, and the remaining 100 were rescued with their eyes gouged out, and after they were rescued with blood and tears, they dipped their blood and wrote the banner symbols of the Qin people who attacked them......

That's the "Li" character in the seal script!

It was also the banner in front of Ulan's eyes, and he knew that the enemy who slaughtered his tribe was on the other side of the river!

Under the operation of the Qin people, the pontoon bridge was dismantled, and the ships gradually moved closer to the west bank. The river is not shallow, if the Huns cross the river at this time, I am afraid that they will be attacked by the Qin army, even if they go ashore, the west bank is called the long flowing water, Pucao Spring is dense, even if the cavalry rushes to kill the past, it is not easy to play, and in the Qin army, in addition to light cavalry, there are still many heavily armed foot soldiers......

The white-haired and red-haired general seemed to know this, and he stood on the other side of the river, staring coldly at the belated Huns, and as soon as he raised his hand, his soldiers escorted hundreds of captured Huns to the river, and they were all pressed to the ground with their hair braided down.

With the swing of General Hongyu's arm, the axe cut off the heads of hundreds of people! Blood poured into the water along with the round head, staining the river a pale red......

More than 10,000 Huns watched this scene, and the eagle shooter Ulan was furious, and he almost wanted to rush over, but he was stopped by the big boss Hu Busheng.

"Don't be fooled, he's deliberately provoking the Huns."

Su Busheng stared at the red general, only to feel a burst of shock.

He was the Xiongnu, and the Qin army of the most battles of the people, last year encountered the Qin Beidi county soldiers, its generals fought steadily and cowardly, just guarded the barracks, did not show the slightest flaw, and when the Huns were impatient and made mistakes, they would be calculated.

Su Busheng originally thought that this was the tactics of the Central Plains, but today, the general on the other side of the river refreshed his understanding.

He likes to use cavalry to go deep alone, not to face the battle head-on, but to aim at the weakness of the Huns, slaughter their livestock, and withdraw immediately after victory, so that he can't catch his tail, but he doesn't dare to be careless, because he doesn't know when, and will launch an unexpected attack on you, and the move is fatal......

Su Busheng was even more jealous of the Qin people, and said secretly: "The light horse is soaring, and the advantage is to enter thousands of miles, and it is unfavorable and decisively fleeing, and the heart is ruthless...... Huns! ”

……

Li Xin, who was good at cavalry warfare, used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and contained more than 10,000 Huns to ride to the edge of the river to defend at the same time, General Heifu, who was considered by the Huns to be "stable and cowardly", had also raised more than 20,000 foot soldiers, marched slowly, entered the mouth of the Dusitu River, and camped on the spot, which surprised the Hun scouts to fly again and report to Tou Mandan......

The knot between the two armies of Qin and Hungary is about to be killed within a radius of 100 miles, a big battle, and it is about to break out!
