This first emperor is awesome

Mao Dun had no doubt that this Qin cavalry would go north, steal his lair, and even cut off his back.

Chapter 155 General Wang Ben's Bing Comes to Qilian

Qilian Mountain Prairie...

The scenery is picturesque and the mountains and rivers are beautiful and pleasant.

Groups of cattle and sheep are on the prairie, eating the grass to their will, which is very appropriate.

Groups of horses are galloping, and the Yuezhi people are divided into various parts of the prairie, making a living by grazing.

Suddenly all the grazing cattle and sheep raised their heads in doubt and looked in one direction at the same time.

The wind was roaring, the ground was shaking, and the endless black figure in the distance slowly appeared on the skyline of the prairie.

Soon, many Yuezhi herdsmen noticed the strange situation in the distance, immediately got on their horses, and fled in all directions.

As for cattle, sheep and horses, they can no longer take care of them.

That was the army of the Qin people, and they were no strangers.

Over the years, after the grassland withered, they would go in groups to plunder the border towns of the Qin people, otherwise it would be difficult to survive the cold winter.

As for the frontier army of the Qin people, it was the first time they saw the Qin army leave the pass and came to the prairie.

15 soldiers marched on the prairie in an orderly manner.

Wearing black armor, Wang Ben rode on the bronze chariot, looking at the sentry cavalry galloping in the distance, thoughtfully.

"General, the Yuezhi people's cavalry is less than seventy miles away from our army."

The sentry rider galloped to Wang Ben's bronze chariot and reported to Wang Benhui.

"How many people are there?"

Wang Ben was not surprised. It has been less than half a month since he led his army out of customs and came from afar.

If the Yuezhi people still don't know anything, how can the Yuezhi people dominate Qilian Mountain?

"Not less than the number of our troops."

The sentinel said solemnly.

"Explore again."

Wang Ben nodded, and then said.

The Yuezhi is one of the three major tribes in the north, and its strength is not far from that of the Donghu who is known as the strongest.

It is not surprising to be able to recruit 10,000+ cavalry troops. A year ago, I issued a military order to His Majesty to capture the Qilian Mountain prairie of the Yuezhi people.

Open up the Longxi Corridor and expel the Yuezhi people to the west.

"Pass my general's order and line up on the spot."

Looking at the endless prairie, Wang Ben frowned.

On the prairie, the infantry can actually display very little strength. If the Yuezhi people do not want to confront themselves head-on, but choose guerrilla warfare, their 15 infantry troops will also be disappointed.

Fortunately, His Majesty gave him [-] elite cavalry, which is a sharp weapon.

There are also two hundred black cannons, which are powerful enough to shake mountains and ground.

Wang Ben didn't intend to just waste the sharp weapon His Majesty bestowed on him, good steel should be used on the blade.

The reason why they chose to come to the Qilian Mountain prairie for a surprise attack was to contain the main force of the Yuezhi people, and the power of the black-clothed cannon could be maximized, inflicting great damage on the Yuezhi people.

This is the lifeline lair of the Yuezhi people, won't you fight a decisive battle with yourself?

I am afraid that the Yuezhi people will never sit back and watch their 10,000+ people in their lair, wrecking havoc unscrupulously.

Six to seven out of ten of the Yuezhi people's livestock people are all on this prairie, and a few are branched out to other places, which has nothing to do with the overall situation.

As the heralds rode away on steeds, they began to deliver the general's orders.

Soon the 15 people were in order, as if they had been tempered and trained, they quickly formed one square after another.

There are [-] crossbowmen for every [-] people in the phalanx, including [-] archers, [-] light arm-stretched crossbowmen, [-] medium-sized knee-stretching crossbowmen, [-] heavy waist-drawn crossbowmen, and [-] horse-drawn giant crossbowmen. hand.

[The book sets that the bow and arrow are two stones, with a range of 200 meters.The light type is the three stone crossbow, with a range of nearly 300 meters.The medium-sized five-stone crossbow has a range of 400 meters.The heavy-duty seven-stone crossbow has a range of 600 meters.The giant is a ten stone crossbow with a range of [-] meters. 〕

The three rows across the front are all bowmen. He carries a quiver on his back and is lightly dressed (not wearing metal armor, only leather armor. ], with a solemn look and no fear.

Every time the empire fights in all directions, they will be the first batch of shots, striving to deal the biggest blow and psychological deterrence to the enemy.

Three horizontal rows, one round of killing the enemy, one round of preparation, and one round of standby, can ensure the continuous momentum of the arrow array.

The strong crossbow is in the front, and the spear is behind...

They are the first line of defense of the Great Qin Empire, and they are the unparalleled warriors of the Great Qin Empire.

Then there are hundreds of four-horse chariots, and each chariot has three people on it, namely the driver, the halberd (or dagger, spear, and long weapon), and a crossbowman.

The crossbow in their hands is not the same as other crossbows, but a small and repeated crossbow.

After the chariot, there are three thousand spearmen. They hold seven-meter spears and are the most solid line of defense in the battle formation. They can deal a fatal blow to the provocative enemy at any time.

They are all hoplites, wearing metal armor, and their majestic spears are like towering trees, supporting the sky of the Great Qin Empire.

If charging, the chariot is in front, and they will follow closely behind. If the front row dies in battle, the rear will go up, even if the entire army is wiped out, they will never take a step back.

The four rear platoons are all heavy armored infantry, and they have different weapons, some holding halberds, long daggers, and long berylliums.

Some also hold different short-hand combat weapons, such as long swords, machetes, and copper beryllium.

In the center of the formation, there are rows of huge chariots covered by black brocade cloth, and the black metal pipes are daunting.

15 people stretched for dozens of miles, and the momentum was so great that it seemed to be an iron wall.

Not long after, a dense cavalry army appeared in the distant grassland sky.

They rushed towards the Qin army head-on, yelling and yelling from time to time.

About a few miles away, the cavalry in front of them began to stop, no longer approaching the Qin army.

Instead, he rectified the formation and looked at the Qin army's phalanx a few miles away, with eagerness on their faces.

For many years, the Qin people have been entrenched in the natural moat of the Great Wall, and they have no chance to fight the Qin army at all.

Facing the natural moat of the Great Wall, they can only stop there. After all, they are riding war horses, not flying horses, so they can't fly to the top of the wall?

A few days after King Yueshi came back from the royal court, he received a report that the people of Qin raised their troops and marched towards their territory.

This made him both surprised and angry. What surprised him was that the people of Qin and the Yueshi had always been in harmony with each other for many years. Although there were small-scale battles from time to time, most of them lived in peace.

What is angry is that the people of Qin are so courageous, it's fine if they don't invade them themselves, but they dare to come and die?

Do you really think the Yuezhi people are the trash of the Huns?

The Yuezhi people didn't want to attack the Qin people all these years, after all, the natural moat of the Qin people is really a hard nut to crack.

If a large-scale army is raised and penetrates deep into the hinterland of the Qin people, with the strength of the Qin people, there is a danger of the entire army being wiped out.

So when it comes to the season of plunder, they mostly turn their attention to their neighbors to the west, the states of the Western Regions.

These city-states are not only rich, but also weak, just like the aquatic plants on the grassland, plump and undefended.

The reason why King Yuezhi refused the Qin people's plea to form an alliance and trade in the Western Regions was because he was afraid that the Qin people would get their hands on his delicious food.

The states in the Western Regions have always been regarded as taboos by King Yuezhi, and no one else is allowed to touch them.

Could it be that the Qin people came here this time because they rejected their request to form an alliance and trade in the Western Regions, so they became angry from embarrassment?

King Yuezhi ordered the army to stand by on the spot, and then led a few cavalry guards to rush out towards the open space where the two armies faced each other. He stopped when he reached the center of the confrontation between the two armies.

Seeing this, Wang Ben instantly understood King Yueshi's intentions, got off the chariot, put on his horse, and went up to meet him with only a few cavalry.

Chapter 156 Then Bear the Wrath of the Peerless Warriors of the Great Qin Empire

"Is the person here General Wang Ben?"

King Yueshi watched Wang Ben who was rushing towards him, stopped ten meters away from him, and asked in fluent elegant words.

"It's Wang Benye who met King Yuezhi."

Wang Ben's demeanor was flat, neither humble nor overbearing, and he cupped his hands.

"I don't know why General Wang came all the way from afar, working hard and mobilizing people, why did he come to my Qilian Mountain prairie?"

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Wang Ben's great military exploits, Qin swept the world, and when he went out to point at the six kingdoms, he defeated Yan and Zhao, and died of Wei and Qi.

Although King Yuezhi was arrogant, he hadn't reached the point of blindness. After all, Wang Ben was a famous general who shocked the world, not an ordinary person.

"According to the edict of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, the Yue family received generous gifts from the Qin Dynasty, but acted against the Qin Dynasty. A teacher who promotes the king's way, and defeats the bandits who have no way."

Wang Ben calmed down and said something to Wang Zhenzhen of the Yue family.

Although King Yuezhi had already guessed in his heart, he still couldn't help but asked with a gloomy expression: "Is your country trying to provoke a dispute between the two countries and break the peace that has been established for many years?"

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, has many soldiers and generals, and wears millions of armors. The sharp soldiers of Qin, with strong bows and crossbows, cross the world and look at every direction. Attacks must be conquered, and battles must be won."

"A mere Yuezhi is no different from a mantis holding a chariot with his arms, and a mayfly shaking a tree. He overestimates his capabilities."

"If the king of the Yue family understands current affairs, he should sweep the couch to welcome His Majesty's teacher, otherwise the two countries will not only meet each other in arms, but also the business relationship will be terminated."

Wang Ben was very tough, and he didn't mean to put King Yuezhi in his eyes at all.

too much deceit...

The people of Qin are so hateful, they dare to underestimate me, the people of the Yue family.

"Business and trade are cut off, and the Yuezhi people can go to your country in front of them. When you meet in battle, the 20 warriors of the Yuezhi who control strings will definitely teach your country a profound lesson and let the first emperor of your country understand that the Yuezhi people are not The Huns are so weak and deceptive."

King Yueshi said furiously.

"Since Yueshi Wang Ming is stubborn, then bear the wrath of the Great Qin Empire, the unparalleled warrior!"

After Wang Ben finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

King Yueshi looked at Wang Ben's leaving back, his face was very ugly.

In fact, he was not willing to start a war with the Qin people. After all, the grassland was not a peaceful place.

Once the strength of the Yuezhi people is damaged, even if they defeat the Qin people, can they still defend the fertile Qilian Mountains prairie?

But the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, the Qin people are too bullying, if he dare not fight, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the world?

Furthermore, the Qilian Mountains prairie is the foundation of the Yuezhi people, and the Qin people's 10,000+ army must not be allowed to destroy it here.

But looking at the heavily guarded battle formation of the Qin people like an iron wall, King Yuezhi felt a little upset again.

Attack the Qin people's battle formation by force?

He didn't dare to do such a stupid thing, it was tantamount to committing suicide.

Even if they broke through the battle formation of the Qin people, the Yuezhi people would probably shed blood like rivers.

This is the painful experience of the Huns, and it tells all the grassland people not to confront the Qin people head-on.

Returning to his own army, King Yueshi felt a bit in a dilemma.

After watching the Qin people's battle formation for a while, they didn't find any flaws.

At this moment, waves of high-spirited shouts broke out from the battle formation of the Qin people, the drums shook the sky, and the horns filled the air.

King Yueshi knew that this was a provocation from the Qin people.

King Yuezhi was not impulsive, but sent a thousand sentry cavalry to surround the battle formation of the Qin people, looking for opportunities for combat.

"General, the main force of our army is deployed on the front and two wings, and the rear is equivalent to no defense. Such a flaw, I am afraid it is inappropriate!"

Lieutenant General Tu Sui said with a worried expression.

"You all know that this is a flaw, how can I not know?"

Wang Ben gave Tu Sui a meaningful look.

"The general did it on purpose?"

Tu Sui was stunned, a little unbelievable.

"We are mainly infantry, and the mobility of chariots does not have the slightest advantage over cavalry. If you don't lure them, how dare the Yuezhi come to try our Daqin's strong bow and crossbow?"

Tu Sui looked at the Yuezhi cavalry army in the distance with deep eyes, as if pointing something.
