Chapter 357 Courage

At that moment, Mao Dun was frightened by the "shaking thunder".

Mouton followed his father, Mandan, on the grassland for decades. He never showed timidity in front of the enemy, but he was shivered again and again in the face of Shen Bing.

It is a kind of invincible powerlessness, a kind of helplessness beyond words, and even a kind of despair and fear, as if Shen Bing’s ingenuity and army should not appear in this world, that is an unbeatable army in the world. .

If it were other times, Mouton would have given up the battle order to retreat... Retreat is not to say cowardly. The Huns’ tactics are to flee if they can’t beat them. Squatting is not his style.

But after thinking about it, Mouton felt that the matter was very important.

In this withdrawal, not only a city in Wuyuan, but the entire Hexi will be lost.

So Mao Dun coldly ordered:

"Send more slaves."

"The two wings each recalled three thousand cavalry reinforcements!"

The messenger responded and passed on Mao Dun's order.

Mouton's approach is correct, his goal is obvious, is to use slaves to consume Qin's "shaking thunder".

Recalling the two-winged cavalry is to allow the cavalry to cooperate with the ground forces...

As a result, new changes appeared on the battlefield very quickly. A team of Huns cavalry flew past the Qin army's flank and then continuously shot arrows into the Qin army's formation.

Shen Bing immediately felt the pressure surge.

The Xiongnu attack can be said to be three-dimensional and multi-directional.

The ground is combined with the cavalry, and the front and flanks are attacking at the same time, and there are on each side in the east, south, west and north. The Huns even use their mobility to go around to the rear of the Qin army, which is the direction of Wuyuan City. The friendly army went out of the city.

To make matters worse, the Xiongnu no longer tried to break the formation first, but used a scimitar bow and arrows to drive the slaves towards the Qin army camp.

At this time, Shen Bing faced a dilemma: should this "fireball of thunderbolt" be used or not?

It's not that Shen Bing was worried about hurting his slaves.

In fact, not all of these slaves were from the Central Plains, and there were many Donghu and Xiyu people among them.

If you use it, the "fireball" will always blow up slaves.

"Thunderbolt Fireball" is ultimately limited, how many charges will be left to face the murderous slave after the slave is blown up?

But if it is not used, the slave army will be flooding towards the Qin army like a tide, how can it be stopped?

Shen Bing could only shout:

"Those who are close to the battlefield, let's kill them!"

But it seems to be too late, and the battlefield has become chaotic after hesitating for a while.

It turned out that some Qin troops could not bear to kill the people, or it could be said that they were too dense to kill, so many people squeezed into the Qin army.

As soon as the people squeezed into the camp, the inside of the Qin Army was too crowded, and the missing personnel on the front could not be supplemented, so a gap immediately appeared.

In the direction of Wuyuan City, a group of Xiongnu soldiers rushed up with the slaves.

At this time, it is too late to use "Thunderbolt Fireball".

One is that the enemy and ourselves have been mixed together, and the random throwing of the "Thunderbolt Fireball" cannot avoid accidentally injuring ourselves.

The second Qin army was crowded and chaotic, and many soldiers had lost the space to throw "fireballs".

Not only did the "Thunderbolt Fireball" fail, but so did the crossbow.

But even so, Qin Jun still stood in his position for half a step and didn't retreat. They retracted their crossbows and drew out the bronze swords and stepped forward to fight the Huns.

Under the command of Wang Ben, the Shenwu Army constantly wandered to fill the gap.

The Liangjun is worthy of the Shen Bing's selection of elite soldiers. They have no fear in the face of the Huns who are several times as many and pounce on like wolves.

A scimitar cut off Qin Jun’s right hand holding the sword. After a scream, the soldiers of Qin Jun didn’t retreat but moved forward. On the one hand, he blocked the scimitar in the hands of the Xiongnu with a shield so that it could not be recovered, and the other side was pushed The reverse pressure of the squeeze rushed forward and bit the opponent's neck severely...

Another machete pierced the abdomen of a soldier of the Qin Army.

The severe pain made the soldiers of the Qin army almost faint, but he still gritted his teeth and tried to keep himself awake, using his last strength to entangle the hands and feet of the Xiongnu.

An arrow hit the Qin soldier's neck, and blood poured into his respiratory tract, making him breathless.

He struggled a few times to pull the arrow out, but soon realized it was futile.

Then he gave up. He looked at the Xiongnu who was constantly rushing up, using only a little time and consciousness to ignite all the "thunderbolt fireballs" on his body...

This combat power surprised and shocked Shen Bing.

Shen Bing has thought that his troops will have stronger combat effectiveness and morale.

But he thinks that those fighting power and morale are based on better and more scientific training and better treatment than other troops.

However, seeing the performance of the Northern Army today, he discovered that this is not the case.

How can such a sacrifice be exchanged for just a few sets of clothes?

Such fearlessness, how can you buy good food?

How can such bravery be trained on the training ground?

After thinking about it, Shen Bing thought it might be related to the Huns being the enemy.

If before that, these Liangjun and Shenwu forces from the Wei state had doubts about their own combat significance, then they are pretty sure now...the proper battle against the Xiongnu is to defend the home and the country.

So this sense of pride, honor, and sense of responsibility has taken a higher level than before.

Even so, the army of Huns and slaves still rushed towards the Qin army like a tide, and it has developed into an impermeable air on all sides. The Qin army is crumbling in the middle like an isolated island, and will be overwhelmed by crowds at any time.

Only then did Mao Dundan breathe a sigh of relief.

To him, although this is only one of the 20,000 Qin army, if it can be successfully encircled and wiped out, it will almost mean victory in the entire battle.

Because he could use the same method to attack the other side, and then the other side, until all the Qin army was driven out from the Wuyuan area.

Looking at the current situation, Mouton didn't believe that Qin Jun could turn defeat into victory.

Wang Ben felt the same way.

Therefore, he shot down several Huns who were among the slaves with his bow and arrow, while shouting at Shen Bing:

"The general will withdraw quickly and give this place to his subordinates!"

If Shen Bing had to leave, he would still be able to leave.

After all, the Xiongnu's queue is composed of slaves and Xiongnu soldiers. It is only good for the charge and makes the Qin soldiers at a loss what to do, but the average area of ​​combat power is not strong.

Shen Bing had a thousand guards, and they were all equipped with "fireballs". They only had to forcibly tear a hole and flee to the flank, and they were almost safe.

But Shen Bing did not want to leave.

This does not mean that he intends to live and die with his comrades here...Shen Bing knows very well that as a general, he cannot "live and die" with the small troops. This is not responsible for the entire army in the battle.

But Shen Bing saw an opportunity, an opportunity to turn defeat into victory...
