Chapter 68: Withdrawal

Wang Jian reined in his war horse, and the Qin army under his command formed a dense military formation. In front of him were tens of thousands of Donghu cavalry, and in front of the formation were a large number of corpses of Donghu cavalry. This was the result of rushing towards him just now, and Wang Jian used these corpses to tell the Donghu people. He's not that easy to deal with!

The 200,000 Qin troops brought back by Wang Jian this time were all veterans who had experienced war in the three eastern counties. Although peace agreements have been signed with the six eastern countries, various overt and covert conflicts in the three eastern counties have never stopped. It can be said that these 200,000 Qin troops are fighting almost all the time. In fact, the transfer of them to the northwest to resist the Eastern Hu made Great Qin very weak in the east. If the battle is lost in Longyou, the six countries of Shandong will pounce like wolves and take back the lost land. Perhaps, there is also the idea of attacking Hangu Pass.

Seeing the Donghu cavalry wandering in the distance, Wang Jian waved his hand. The rumbling war drums rang out, and the entire Qin army formation seemed to be boiling water.

"Wind, gale!" Every time the Qin soldier took a step forward, he would strike the breastplate with his blade. With each strike, the formation took a step forward. Due to the sharpness of Qin's crossbow, the Donghu cavalry could only roam around the periphery. Although the Qin soldiers advanced slowly, they were getting closer and closer to the besieged Duke Qi. As long as they are allowed to rush to the edge of the forest, the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops who are surrounded will be like sparrows in the forest, flapping their wings and flying high, and they will no longer be able to catch them. Capturing Yongdu has become a luxury.

"Big head, the Qin army's military formation is too dense. Now if they were to charge into battle, they would have been trapped, and they had the upper hand, and the arrows were shot far farther than we did. "Shi Le just rushed with his men once, but the result was heavy casualties, and he didn't even touch the edge of the Qin army's formation. The cavalry proved to have no advantage over a well-prepared infantry formation.

Murong Tuoba was also in a hurry, and there was no way, and the Qin army in the forest had been gnawing on the bark for two days. Just two more days of trapping can get a big win. I didn't expect that the reinforcements of the Qin army would come so quickly and so much. Now it seems that Donghu has underestimated Daqin a little. No wonder the Huns did not dare to go south, it turned out that the soldiers of the Qin people were as many as weeds on the grassland. Looking at the Qin military array in front of him, which was densely packed like ants, a feeling of being pitted arose.

"Uncle, or I'll lead people around the back of the Qin army. They have the upper hand, and if we go around their backs, we will have the upper hand. With the range of the arrows, if not to give them heavy damage, it can at least disrupt their military formation. "Murong Shenxing has been in the forest for the past few days, leading the Donghu hunters to ambush the former army, and he has achieved remarkable results. Shoot and behead no less than 4,000 Qin troops, this time I heard that Qin reinforcements were coming, so I specially led the army to participate in the battle.

"It's useless, you see that behind their military formation are all baggage carts. The crossbowmen are all hiding in the baggage carts, and we can't take advantage of even the shooting. "Murong Tuoba and the others stood on a small raised dirt slope, although it was not high, they could also see the Qin army formation in the distance.

In the black armor, the tall four-wheeled carriages were pressed against the back. They have seen this kind of carriage, and the Yun family has it. Back then, Wang Jian left the Iron Eagle Ruishi he had worked so hard to bring out in Pingliang, and Yun Yue naturally would not let Wang Jian suffer. As long as Pingliang has it, except for Yun Yue's wife who can't give it, the rest is basically a tearful giveaway. As soon as the four-wheeled carriage was delivered, there were 300 vehicles, and in the past two years, Wang Jian had already simulated the Yun family to form a chariot army. Even the Yun family's three-bow bed crossbow, Wang Jian also got three. It's just that after finding the archer, he can't imitate it.

The reason is simple, although they can imitate the three-bow bed crossbow. But the wire rope that supported the strings of the three strong crossbows could not be made by them anyway. So far, Wang Qian's three-bow bed crossbow can only use the wire rope specially provided by the Yun family. Without these wire ropes, the powerful three-bow bed crossbow is simply waste.

Just when the Donghu people were charging into battle, Wang Jian used a three-bow bed crossbow. This caused such a shock to the Donghu people, and they no longer had the idea of charging head-on.

"Then let so many Qin Jun fly? They are stuck in Yongdu, how do we enter the customs and how do we go back to Xing'anling. Murong Shenxing said hurriedly.

Yongdu was stuck on the portal between Longyou and Guanzhong, and wanted to pass through Longyou and then kill Han, Zhao, Wei and Sanjin all the way back to Xing'anling. The first level is Yongdu, which is now icy and snowy. The Xiongnu steppe is simply an ice cellar, and it is simply a dream to return along the same path.

"What else? To rush forward is to send it to death, such a huge military formation. The march could still be orderly and not chaotic at all, and the soldiers followed the rhythm of the war drums step by step. Your so-called small disturbance will not work at all. Order the boys to withdraw, let's go around from the back. Even if the Yiqu people are difficult to deal with, it is better than attacking a strong city. Old Jin sighed. After he left Pingliang, he had a headache when he saw the tall city wall.

The Donghu people have poor tools, if it weren't for the leopard contact. There are no ladders or siege engines at all. It's no problem for these rudimentary siege machines to attack those small cities with walls that are no more than two or three feet high, but attacking a big city like Yongdu is simply suicide. Not to mention, Yongdu is now garrisoned by a terrifying number of Qin troops. One-on-one desperate efforts can also ensure that the Donghu people are dead.

"I ......" Murong Shenxing was about to say something, but was stopped by Murong Tuoba. Lao Jin was right, he fought with the Yiqu people on the grassland. It is also better than attacking a strong city, and if it is good to talk. Maybe the Yiqu people can let Donghu go, after all, fighting is to kill people. Donghu will die, and Yiqu will definitely die. Borrow a road, it's convenient for everyone.

"Withdraw your troops!" Murong Tuoba let out a loud shout, and immediately rode his horse down the hill. The horn sounded, and the Donghu army retreated like a tide. Like Duke Qi and Hengya, Wang Jian was also unable to pursue in the face of the retreating Donghu army. He only had 10,000 cavalry in his hands, and he could only send them to death.

Wang Jian sighed helplessly, the advantage of the cavalry was too great, and he could still run if he couldn't beat it. In the first battle of Changping that year, the Qin army was more than twice as large as the Zhao army, and there were high walls and barriers, which can be regarded as the Zhao army that surrounded Changping. Now, with his little men, he is not qualified to besiege the Donghu people at all.

Without the hindrance of the Donghu people, Wang Jian still marched carefully. The 200,000-strong army marched in a roller, and it was only in the evening that they came to the dense forest where the Duke and the Permanent Tooth were hiding. I saw that the ground beyond the dense forest was full of corpses of men and horses. It seems that there are many Donghu people, and most of the trees in the woods have traces of being burned by fireworks. It seems that there must have been a terrible battle in the past two days.

There was no sound in the forest, and Wang Jian "sighed" in his heart. Five hundred scouts rushed into the forest. (To be continued.) )
