Daqin Engineers

Before the Qin army set up the battle, the Xiongnu blew a long horn.

Then they responded like answers in several directions, and a trombone pierced the void and shot at the Qin army like a sharp arrow, making the Qin army soldiers ready for battle with tension.

Wei Wei stood on a chariot and looked at the direction of the Xiongnu, then shouted:

"Open the crossbow!"

The messenger immediately played the flag and shouted:

"Open the crossbow!"

Hearing only the sound of "crash", Sergeant Qin bent down neatly and exhausted all his strength to prop up the crossbow and install the crossbow bolt.

Wang Ben held a bow and arrow in his hand, put on his own cane mask on his right hand, and raised his hand backwards. At the moment, there was a team of thousand people divided into two rows to follow behind.

Li Jian waved the flag to prepare all units of the Shenwu Army to attack.

At the beginning, Li Jian and Chen Duan were the lieutenants of the Black Armed Forces. After Chen Duan died in Ruyin City, Wang Ben took over, and Li Jian became Wang Ben's deputy.

At this time, Wang Ben had the task of beheading, and Li Jian, the commander of the Shenwu Army, directed and cooperated with Wang Ben's attack.

Shen Bing looked back, and ordered Ren and other guards:

"Protect the son!"

The guards and others rushed in to prepare for the enemy before and after the Fusu carriage.

The carriage that Fusu was riding in was specially made by Shen Bing Rangcang. It was made of double-layer elm wood with a layer of rattan armour between the mezzanine layers. Even the roof was no exception.

Cang once suggested using iron sheet in the interlayer, but Shen Bing did not adopt it.

The reason is that the speed of the carriage has to be considered. The double-layer elm is thick enough, and the iron skin in the middle is afraid that four horses can't move.

Or even if it can be dragged, it can't run fast. What if Fusu is in a state of being chased by the enemy?

From this point of view, add the interlaced rattan armour in the interlayer and tighten it tightly, so that the hardness of the elm wood can be combined with the toughness of the rattan armour.

At this time, Fusu can be said to be the hope of Northland's development, and Shen Bing dare not care about it at all.

Then the Xiongnu attacked the Qin army.

The Huns’ offense was a little different from the past. In addition to turning around and shooting arrows at the Qin army as before, they also sent some teams to rush towards the Qin army’s phalanx with a lasso... When they reached a certain distance, they threw a lasso. Then turn the horse's head and leave.

Later, I learned that the other end of the slings was tied to the horse. Once Qin soldiers were sacked, they were immediately dragged out of the phalanx and screamed behind the horses.

This is also a housekeeping skill of nomads.

But after all, it is only a small scale and can't do much, and these close Huns riders can easily be shot by the Qin Army's crossbow arrows.

It's just that the Qin Army still didn't do anything...Shen Bing hadn't ordered them yet, they were all waiting, even though the Xiongnu's arrow rain had fallen into the Qin Army's formation one after another, causing casualties.

Shen Bing is waiting for the Huns to turn the circle away and speed up, which means that more Huns will join the battle group... Shen Bing has never forgotten the goal of this battle: to kill as many enemies as possible.

In a short while, the Xiongnu's battlefield became bigger and bigger, and the arrows shot became increasingly urgent and dense.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Shen Bing immediately ordered:

"Play!"

The messenger shouted:

"Play!"

As soon as the battle flag was waved, the battle drum "rumbled", and the sound was a intensive drum.

Qin Jun, who was still a virgin at first, immediately launched a counterattack.

To be more precise, Qin Jun was like a wolf in sheep's clothing. At this time, he lifted the sheep's skin to reveal bloodthirsty eyes and flaring fangs, and rushed fiercely at the prey that fell into the trap...

The first thing that comes into play is the pawn's crossbow arrows.

As Wei Wei shouted, the steppers pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrows went straight to the Xiongnu like a locust amidst the sound of bowstrings.

Where the crossbow arrow fell, I saw the Xiongnu riders screaming and falling off their horses.

The arrows fired by the three-bow bed crossbow tripped an enemy ride.

However, the Huns at this time seemed to have a way to deal with the arrows. They had arranged several groups of soldiers to hold their shields and wait under the horses. Once they found the arrows, they would cut them off. Then someone at the other end quickly took the rope away. So as not to become the stumbling block of the cavalry again.

This is indeed a way to deal with the arrow, at least it will not make the Huns unable to attack.

But the Xiongnu never expected...At this time they had to face more than just picking up arrows.

With an offensive order, more than a hundred chariots in the Shenwu Army "snap up" and launch the "Thunderbolt Fireball" that ignites the fuze into the Huns cavalry group.

The Xiongnu cavalry didn't know what it was, so they didn't take it to heart, they still yelled and rode their horses to shoot arrows at the Qin army.

then……

There was a chaotic sound of "boom", heavy smoke was flying around the iron brier, and the horses whispered in chaos.

The Xiongnu cavalry, which was turning at high speed, disconnected from the explosion points as if they were blocked by an invisible big hand.

Some Huns were blown up by men and horses, and all the men and horses were trampled into mud by the friendly army that rushed up later.

Some horses are cut open by iron bristles...The iron bristles are shot from bottom to top, and the abdomen of war horses is the weakest and unprotected place, which can easily be scratched.

Pain and frightened, he no longer runs around without the control of the knight.

Some horses were frightened by the "Thunderbolt Fireball" and threw the rider off the horse...

Regardless of the reason, if you fall off the horse in this situation, you will be trampled on by the subsequent cavalry.

What's more serious is... many frightened horses ran around and rushed into the Xiongnu horse team, which immediately caused a chain crash.

The originally orderly Xiongnu offensive turned into a "car accident" scene in a blink of an eye.

Of course Qin Jun would not let go of this opportunity, and rushed to the Xiongnu who was dumbfounded on the spot with a shout.

One after another, the chariots fired "thunderbolt fireballs" at places with many Huns, only to explode screaming and howling all over the field.

Many of them didn't know what the trembling noise was, and they were frightened for the first time. They didn't even have the courage to disperse and flee, they just went around in place...

This is actually a kind of threat. At the same time, most of the Huns originally had a mentality of winning but suddenly turned into a complete defeat. Their mental state had not had time to adjust, so they did not expect to escape.

The next battle became simple.

The Qin army rushed forward, with crossbow arrows and knives and spears, and slammed the Xiongnu down one by one.

On the other hand, Wang Ben led a team of a thousand people to fight out... The Perak chariot was strengthened by one per tun, and the thousand people led by Wang Ben had 20 chariots.

These chariots fired "Thunderbolt Fireballs" all the way forward, almost relying on them to blast a gap in the Huns' encirclement.

Then Wang Ben and the others forcedly drove out of this gap and went straight to the mound pointed by Shen Bing.

Tou Man Shanyu was still in a daze at this time, and even the horse under his seat was shocked and circled by the explosion.

After waiting for Man Shanyu to stabilize his horse, he took a look, but saw that the battlefield was already in a mess, and there was a team of Qin Qi who went straight to his position like steel knives...
