Daqin Engineers

Chapter 335 The Death of Touman

Touman was shocked and immediately ordered to retreat.

The guards reacted immediately. One team drew out their scimitars to greet them, and the other team protected their heads and Mandanyu evacuated... This is a standard action for guards. The front is blocked and the rear escapes. There is basically no hope of catching up with Man Danyu.

This is indeed the case.

The Xiongnu cavalry who came to stop Wang Ben were not only masters of horses and archers, but also good at using scimitars for close combat. The thunderbolt fireball blew a group but hundreds of people still entered the array and blocked Wang Ben and his group's path.

It is very troublesome for the enemy rider to enter their own camp, because at this time the bow and arrow and the thunderbolt fireball have no effect, and they can only get out by cutting them over with a knife and a gun.

Faced with this situation, Wang Ben was helpless, and could only watch Man Danyu go further and further away.

But I didn't want a group of frightened horses to plunge into Tou Mandan Yu's cavalry team at an angle, and immediately made Tou Mandan Yu's cavalry a mess. Many riders were knocked off the horses, including Tou Mandan Yu.

The guard yelled "Protect Shan Yu" and jumped off his horse to block Shan Yu with his horse.

Wang Ben couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw this, and he yelled and led his men to cover the two chariots and escaped from the battle group.

It was time that Man Danyu Zheng re-mounted to escape.

Wang Ben hurriedly ordered the launch of the Perak chariot...

The crossbowman already knew about the thunderbolt fireballs. Two thunderbolt fireballs hit the front of the enemy cavalry team from left to right. When the cavalry team fled to the same distance, they suddenly "boomed" twice and exploded, shocking the horsemen to stand up. Now he threw his head Mandan Yu off his horse.

Tou Mandan still wants to get on the horse and escape, but there is no time.

Wang Ben has led his troops to arrive and surrounded him after a rain of arrows.

Wang Ben originally wanted to capture this enemy general...At this time, Wang Ben didn't know that the opponent was Shan Yu, and said that he was just a general of the Xiongnu.

However, when he broke through the Huns' guards and smashed in front of the enemy general, he found that the enemy general was lying on the ground dying with an arrow on his neck.

At that moment, the Xiongnu cavalry suddenly scattered and fled, making Wang Ben feel that the identity of the "enemy general" in front of him was extraordinary.

Later, a few prisoners were arrested and interrogated, only to discover that the "enemy general" shot to death by random arrows was actually Xiongnu Shanyu.

Wang Ben was promoted to two ranks because of this, but he never understood why a group of frightened horses blocked his way when Xiongnu Shanyu was about to flee...

Of course Wang Ben couldn't understand.

Because this group of frightened horses was released by Prestige.

In fact, Mouton had long discovered that a Qin army was breaking through from the encirclement and pointed directly at the location of Mandan.

But Mouton also knew that it would be difficult for this Qin army to stop Mandanyu.

So the guards were ordered to let go of the spare horses and slashed the leading horse severely and drove them in the direction of Toumantan...

Needless to say why Mouton did this, he had already sensed that Tou Man was more than trying to create another person.

Mouton knew that if things were to go down, not only his position as King Zuo Xian, but even his life would not be preserved, so he took this opportunity to act first.

Touman Shanyu died, and the Huns from all sides had no intention of fighting, and fled around as birds and beasts.

In a short while, only the neatly formed Qin army and the Xiongnu corpses were left on the huge grassland.

Many soldiers of the Qin Army have not even reacted...

This battle comes and goes fast.At first it seemed that the Xiongnu had a great advantage, and the Qin army thought that there would be a fierce battle. However, after the fireball of the thunderbolt exploded, it only took a stick of incense to blow up the enemy.

It took a long time for Qin Jun to cheer, and then happily harvested the heads of the Huns.

That scene really made Shen Bing dare not compliment.

But it seems that there is no way. Qin Law stipulates that, and Shen Bing certainly did not dare to disobey easily at this time.

Fusu got out of the carriage, he looked around, and he arched his hands towards Shen Bing after a long distance:

"Congratulations to the general for another contribution."

"This battle'Thunderbolt Fireball' has made great contributions. With this thing, the Northland will no longer suffer from the Huns!"

Shen Bing humbled a few words, but in his heart he didn't think that "Thunderbolt Fireball" could stop the Huns cavalry.

You must know that there was a "thunderbolt of fireball" in the Song Dynasty. Although the gunpowder of the Song Dynasty did not have this power and did not use a chariot as a platform for maneuvering, they knew that it was launched by a trebuchet.

But in the end, it failed to stop the Mongolian iron cavalry nor prevent the fall of the Song Dynasty.

The reason is that the power of "Thunderbolt Fireball" is not as powerful as it seems...

In fact, let alone a "fireball", even if it is a modern hand grenade to fight the cavalry, it is still incapable.

The reason is that the cavalry is very flexible and fast and the grenade has a delay, which will make the grenade always miss.

It is useful unless it is a group charge against enemy riders.

In modern wars, even the rifle was difficult to eliminate the cavalry, and it was not until the appearance of the Makkimi machine gun that it withdrew from the stage of war.

The reason why the Qin army was able to defeat the Xiongnu in this battle and also defeated the 50,000 Huns by more than 10,000 Qin army was more because the Xiongnu had never seen the "Thunderbolt Fireball" bombed so morale.

Just as the Germans were frightened when they first saw a tank on the battlefield.

This is not to say how powerful the British tanks are. The first-generation tanks can even successfully drive into enemy trenches without malfunctioning.

However, the first appearance of this kind of unfamiliar equipment on the battlefield often puts the enemy's entire army in a state of chaos for the first time, and thus the combat effectiveness decreases in stages.

Qin Jun took advantage of this.

But the battlefield is like this. Victory means victory. There is no reason at all.

After cleaning the battlefield, Shen Bing ordered the army to continue marching towards Jiuyuan.

Because there was no need to conceal it, Shen Bing separated three cavalry armies with 1,000 men each and returned to Yunzhong County to protect the supply line.

In addition, a team of two thousand pawns was assigned to build a walled city between Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County.

This walled city can be used as a transfer station, and can also be used as a supply point and support for the cavalry to protect the supply.

As for Jiuyuan City...

Shen Bing believed that after this battle, the Huns had no intention of defending the Jiuyuan, and it was no problem to capture it.

Shen Bing was right. When Shen Bing rushed to Jiuyuan with the main force of the Qin army two days later, there was already an empty city there.

And looking at the broken tents, discarded furs and even looted cattle and sheep everywhere in the city...you know how hurried the frightened Huns escaped.

Cattle, sheep and livestock were originally the purpose of their looting south.

But at this time, they were worried about slowing down their marching speed and dropped them.

The Northern Army is also welcome. After taking over Jiuyuan City, they will house those livestock... These livestock will be indispensable for the construction of Jiuyuan City in the future.
