Cultivation of empire in the world of immortality

Chapter 60: Battle against Northern Barbarian reinforcements

After the last northern barbarian crossing, the tribes on the grassland north of Tianlang Mountain were plowed, and all the tribes were frightened and fled here. Only a few individual tribes stayed here, the number was less than a hundred, and only the old, sick and disabled women were left. When they are young, they will be swallowed up wherever they go, and they will be left to rot.

In the big forest, the northern barbarians walked through the snow, and their speed was faster than before. They had learned that the first batch of reinforcements had been wiped out three days ago, and most of the more than 5,500 people were their relatives and friends. After learning the bad news, these 20,000 elites were all extremely sad and angrily reported to their superiors to seek revenge. The chief's second son agreed to his subordinates' request.

The chief's second son led a team south to support this time. The troops he led were the best among the best. Except for one hundred wolf cavalry, the other 20,000 troops were selected from the entire army. There were also two spare mounts, and most of the clan members were mobilized. War cavalry. The purpose of going south this time was for revenge, and the other was to serve as a front line for the tribe to go south. The 20,000 elite northern barbarians abandoned their huge logistical baggage and marched southward with ten days' worth of supplies on spare mounts.

After leaving the forest and arriving at the endless prairie, Akayev, the second son of the chief, suddenly became cheerful. He felt that this prairie was created for his tribe, and the cowardly Beiyuan people did not deserve this beautiful and rich land. prairie. The desire to conquer was washed away and could no longer calm down.

After traveling for more than 500 kilometers in five days, no one was seen along the way except the broken bodies and bones that told of the misery of the recent past. Groups of scavenger eagles hovered in the sky, waiting for the army to pass by and drop their bodies.

Akayev felt that the deserted grassland was more beautiful, and he did not think that the Beiyuan people were qualified to be his subordinates. The grassland nourished by the blood and flesh of the Beiyuan people was richer. He could not wait to send a message to the tribe, suggesting that the tribe should Move south.

The Third Army supported two brigades and two regiments of the Qin Wei Army to the north, and the third regiment of the Qin Wei Army acted as the vanguard to clear the way.

When the Northern Barbarian army marched southward on the grassland for 800 hours, detectives from the third regiment of the Qin Wei Army captured it. At this time, the two armies were 300 kilometers apart, and the Qin army was only two or three hours away.

During the day, the flying cavalry flew very high, and they could only get a rough idea of ​​the situation. Seeing that the backs of the mounts were strapped with supplies, the detective concluded that this was the enemy's logistics, but it was too scattered and could not handle so many detectives passing the information to the rear. Army.

As the commander of the supporting troops on this trip, Qin Zhong showed his decisive and brave characteristics. Intelligence came from the front and it was basically determined that they were reinforcements from the Northern Barbarians. There are about 20,000 troops, and the baggage is very scattered. When the two armies were one hundred kilometers apart, the Northern Barbarian reinforcements scouts also discovered the Qin army and immediately went back to report the situation.

Qin Zhong ordered to stop advancing and rest and replenish on the spot. The Qin army had strong logistical capabilities, and even its mounts were fed the same diet as its warriors, so their aura was restored very quickly.

Aerial reconnaissance came to report that a thousand enemy troops were rushing towards our army. Qin Zhong called the leaders of each brigade and regiment.

"The Northern Barbarians are the ones who really know my heart. They couldn't wait to test me. I decided to accept this gift. Everyone, please tell me what you think!" Qin Zhong said calmly.

"General, leave this to our Ninth Brigade"

"You have the nerve to say that? It would be disgraceful to win if five thousand men fight against one thousand men. General, give it to our heavy cavalry regiment. One thousand against one thousand men, let them see how powerful our heavy cavalry is."

"Deputy Brigadier Bai, your regiment should retain its strength to deal with the enemy army behind. Leave it to our third flying cavalry regiment. We will definitely destroy the enemy with zero losses and get a perfect start."

"You flying knights are very tired during normal reconnaissance. You need to rest more. Just leave this rough work to our 12th Brigade. Using light to control heavy is our special skill."

"Brigadier Qin San, are you underestimating our heavy cavalry regiment?"

"Nothing else. Brother Bai, you are very good, but I am not a coward either."

"Okay, everyone is very brave, I am very pleased. I order: the third flying cavalry regiment, the twelfth brigade and one regiment to go into battle, and all other departments to improve their combat readiness."

"No, General"

The nine centurions of the third regiment of the Qin Wei Army took the lead in rushing into the sky, leaving one centurion behind to provide air strikes and guidance for the ground cavalry.

After flying for more than 40 kilometers, we saw the Northern Barbarians approaching with great momentum. The mount was not much smaller than a one-horned rhinoceros.

More than 900 hundred-stone composite bows were fired at the Northern Barbarian cavalry on the ground without even taking aim. The injured mounts howled and ran around, causing the Northern Barbarian cavalry to become turbulent. After three rounds of arrows, there was a javelin, a thick wooden arm. Looking down from the stick as it fell from the oil, the acceleration of gravity increased the power of the javelin, and the screams were worse than the impact of the crossbow arrows. In a short time, three hundred cavalry were lost, causing the captain to beat his chest and roar to the sky. His arrogance attracted the attention of the third group in the sky, and no less than five arrows rushed towards him. The Northern Barbarian captain shot away the first two arrows, but the third arrow penetrated the animal skin armor and sank into his arm. The second arrow rushed towards his mount, so frightened that he quickly endured the pain to protect his mount. The fifth arrow The arrow pierces the cow's butt. The painful musk ox jumped wildly, and the captain was almost thrown off, but he relied on his superb riding skills to stabilize himself. Upon seeing this, some of the guards rushed over to help the commander out of the siege, allowing him to breathe a little easier.

The captain managed to save his life under the cover of his personal guards, but his good luck came to an abrupt end. Due to the eagerness of the Northern Barbarians' personal guards to protect their master, many people gathered around the captain, which attracted more flying cavalry in the sky to pay attention. Three rounds of fire were concentrated, and all the personal guards were shot and jumped down. Their mounts galloped away with their unwilling bodies, letting more and more people know that the captain had died heroically.

In this situation where they could only be beaten passively, the elite northern barbarians could no longer hold on and fled in all directions. Even the most elite troops have a desire to survive, even the Qin army is no exception. It collapsed after losing 70% of its value, which also showed how extraordinary the Northern Barbarians were.

The Qin cavalry on the ground beat the drowned dogs hard, and it took more than an hour to completely eliminate this thousand-man team.

The Northern Barbarian army was also approaching the battlefield. Fortunately, the Qin army suffered almost no casualties. After cleaning the battlefield, they evacuated with the captured Northern Barbarian mounts.

The chief's second son had been paying attention to the development of the war. When he reported that the forward was unfavorable, he immediately sent 5,000 men and horses to support. When the 5,000 men arrived on the battlefield, there were no enemies left. The warriors of his tribe lay quietly on the grassland, searching for someone. No one was found alive after the incident. The Lord will report the situation immediately.

Akayev listened to the report of the messenger with a sullen face. He was also a little more wary of his opponents. In just over an hour, he wiped out a team of a thousand men. This combat power was indeed terrifying.

He ordered the camp to be set up for defense, all ministries to strengthen air defense, and also ordered five thousand people to come back for reinforcements.

Qin Zhong saw that the enemy's 5,000 men were showing signs of moving north, so he ordered the troops in front to hold them back. The third regiment and the ground cavalry, who were watching from a distance, rushed into battle again after receiving the order. This time, the two regiments no longer fought hard, but adopted harassment tactics to attack the enemy.

The Qin army dared to attack them when they saw two thousand people, which made the leading general very angry. They dispersed and outflanked the Qin army. Seeing the enemy's intention, the Qin army's light cavalry did not panic and were always within the bow and arrow range of the Northern Barbarians' heavy cavalry. In addition, use the range advantage to do "move around, look back and dig out".

As soon as they entangled, the main force of the Qin army arrived on the battlefield. Without saying a word, the flying cavalry in the air started to focus their fire. Under the leadership of the heavy armor group, the ground troops formed an arrow formation and charged at the enemy in order to achieve a quick victory.

Under the joint attack of air and land, the elite forces of the Northern Barbarians were overwhelmed, and their defeat gradually became apparent. The leading generals could only hold on and wait for the arrival of the army from the rear.

Qin Zhong obviously would not let him get his wish. The one-horned rhinoceros of the heavily armored regiment relied on its hard leather armor to forcefully knock away the Northern Barbarians' mounts that were blocking the way. When the spear and leather armor met the combination of the spirit armor and Mo Dao, the advantage was one-sided, and the Northern Barbarians were quickly defeated. The military formation was penetrated, and the heavy armored regiment circled around and aimed at the position of the flag and launched a charge. The northern barbarians had seen these guys who were more brutal than them at close range and charged again, and hurriedly got out of the way. They would rather be destroyed by the light cavalry than face them. to these devils.

When the attack reached not far from the general's flag, the enemy's resistance also became fierce. If it weren't for the cooperation from the air, the heavy armored regiment might also have been trapped. During the continuous support from the air, the Qin army on the ground was able to successfully disrupt the enemy, achieve rapid penetration, rapid segmentation, and rapid elimination.

The Qin army destroyed these 5,000 people with hundreds of casualties and captured 8,000 enemy mounts. After driving the mounts to the southeast, the Qin army opened a distance from the main force of the Northern Barbarians.

When Akayev learned that another five thousand people had been killed, he was so angry that he drew his sword and cursed the general as a fool. After venting for a while, he gradually calmed down. The enemy was too powerful to be reckless, so he had to find some methods. .

After the Qin army returned, they actively repaired it. Report the battle to the Third Army and Qin and Han Dynasties.

At night, while the northern barbarians were still licking their wounds, the Qin army's flying cavalry came to harass them again, throwing javelins, boulders, rockets, etc., which continued throughout the first half of the night. This ruined the rotation plan.

There was no disturbance from the Qin army for two hours in the middle of the night, so the northern barbarians breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to rest.

In less than twenty minutes, the Qin army came again. There was the sound of cavalry galloping on the ground. The Northern Barbarians in the camp were busy preparing to meet the enemy. What they were waiting for was an air strike. They chased them out of the camp without even seeing a ghost. arrive. After knowing that they had been deceived, the Northern Barbarian soldiers were furious and most of their sleepiness disappeared.

A general proposed to steal the Qin army's camp, but Akayev refused. The enemy controlled the night, and advancing rashly would only lead to greater losses. The general ordered the soldiers to use spears to build defenses against attacks from the sky. I have to say that this trick is still somewhat useful. When the flying knights in the sky saw that the screams were much less, they knew that the enemy was strong enough to deal with it, and they had to change their targets. The mount at the tent became a new target. When the rocket went down, the enemy's mount helped the Qin army implement the Fire Ox strategy. The fire spread, gradually affecting innocent people, and the enemy's camp became chaotic. Akayev hurriedly sent out a hundred wolf riders to drive the fire bulls out of the camp, thus reducing their losses.

Seeing the devastated camp and the firelight shining down on the depressed eyes of the soldiers, Akayev felt extremely heavy. The situation of being passively beaten all the time is the most devastating. He ordered the wolf cavalry to lead four thousand heavy cavalry to guard outside the camp to guard against enemy sneak attacks.

The flying cavalry of the Qin Army continued to come to the camp to check in, but the sound of galloping cavalry on the ground disappeared. It should be the wolf cavalry outside that played a role.

The Wolf Cavalry did bring a fatal blow to the Qin Army's ground scouts, but it also exposed themselves. The Flying Cavalry immediately concentrated fire on them and used rockets to drive the Wolf Cavalry away. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the four thousand heavy cavalry hurriedly followed up, trying to rescue the wolf cavalry. As soon as they fled, the army of more than a thousand people was more than 20 kilometers away from the camp. When the enemy reacted, they wanted to go back. At this time, the heavy armored regiment appeared again behind the Northern Barbarian cavalry, which made people panic. A small group of Northern Barbarian cavalry broke away from the large army and fled.

At night, the sound of horse hooves sounded again on the grassland. This time, Akayev felt more at ease. With the cooperation of the wolf cavalry, four thousand cavalrymen would have no worries.

The cavalry phalanx led by the heavy armored regiment attacked the enemy. The light cavalry made little progress during the day, but the situation improved at night. Every time a wave of arrows rained down, there was the unique scream of the northern barbarians. The power of the enemy's arrow rain on our own side has dropped a lot. After the increase and decrease, the more than 4,000 Northern Barbarian cavalry were defeated much faster than during the day. When Akayev received the message of the retreat, the battle began. It's basically over. The wolf cavalry could not be completely wiped out, leaving only more than forty wolf corpses, but the four thousand heavy cavalry were not so lucky, and the entire army was basically wiped out. Of course, the trapped beasts still fighting also caused more than 200 sacrifices and more than 300 injuries to the Qin army.

In three battles a day, about 10,000 Northern Barbarian cavalry were wiped out. Qin Zhong was prepared to slowly kill this group of enemies. Also because more than three hundred casualties were a bit high.

The Qin army took turns to rest and harass the northern barbarians. The enemy chased me and I ran, and the enemy ran and I chased the game one after another. The northern barbarians had very little military rations left. Fortunately, the logistics force had already walked out of the big forest, and the march on the grassland was much faster. .

Coincidentally, the flying eagle sent by the Northern Barbarians was shot down by the flying cavalry with itchy hands. After the ground scouts took advantage of it, when the Qin army learned that the Northern Barbarians' logistics troops appeared on the grassland, General Qin Zhonghe's eyes flashed with gold.

Qin Zhong immediately sent the third regiment of the Qin Wei Army to carry out the task of attacking the enemy's supplies. The flying cavalry regiment set off overnight. After flying for most of the day, they discovered a long and mighty enemy's baggage team at sunset.

The third regiment marched in parallel with the baggage transport team. When the recovery was almost complete and it was dark, the operation officially began.

First, they struck by surprise, then caused riots, and finally defeated them one by one. After this set of procedures, this logistics force was almost wiped out by the third regiment. Several people were also specially sent south to report the news. How could they not leave their name after doing something big? ? The huge supplies gave the Qin army an advantage, and they had been moved away in batches before the enemy came after them. Even though the Qin army looked down upon them, they couldn't leave them to the enemy, right?

Qin Han received the good news from Qin Zhong. At this time, he had arrived at the Qianshui Lake camp. He instructed Qin Zhong to send some northern barbarians south to join King You Xian. Otherwise, King You Xian would not have the courage to go south. He would have to figure out what to do. Bar! In addition, the clan also sent high-end combat power to support the two front lines, with a fourth-level elder leading ten third-level clan elders. This also allowed the high-end combat power to be tested in actual combat. After all, they improved too quickly and their foundation was somewhat unstable. In view of this, Qin and Han put down enough supplies and returned to the rear.

After there was not much suspense about the future war, Qin Han naturally had to go back to deal with other urgent matters.
