Daqin Engineering Corps

"Before, I was rushing all the way because I was worried that the Huns would not be able to find him if they went too far."

"Now that we have found it and we are faster than the Xiongnu, are you afraid that he will escape?"

Princess Wuyou couldn't help but let out an "oh".

What Shen Bing said was that although the grassland is vast, although the visual distance is far away, it is also extending in all directions. It is not easy to find enemy troops or even friendly troops.

After finding it, whoever is faster will win.

And Qin Qi is the faster side, so of course there is no need to worry.

What's more, Pu Lei's army had been attacking continuously for several days, and sometimes they didn't rest at night, so it was obviously inappropriate to join the battle immediately at this time.

Princess Wuyou is only good at trading with other countries, but not good at leading troops... In fact, Princess Wuyou also has experience in leading troops, but leading troops in the Western Regions often goes straight to the enemy and flees if they fail to fight. They don't pay attention to tactics.

Prior to this, Princess Wuyou thought that the art of war and strategies were all about the mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, and that there was no art of war in the terrain extending in all directions like deserts and grasslands.

Now I have only followed Shen Bing for a few days, and I feel that I have benefited a lot.

This made Princess Wuyou look at Shen Bing with admiration. She only knew that Shen Bing was a strategic general before, but only now did she know that his leading troops in battle is also extraordinary.

At the same time, Princess Wuyou was secretly startled:

"Father still doesn't know Shen Bing's ability, but he wants to profit from the battle between the Qin army and the Xiongnu."

"If you continue to have this heart, one day you will face Qin Jun..."

"I'm afraid my father is definitely not the opponent of this Shen Bing."

Thinking of this, Princess Wuyou became happy.

Because if Shen Bing and King Qiuci are equal in strength, Princess Wuyou would still be a little embarrassed to choose.

But now I know King Kucha is far inferior to Shen Bing...

Then there is nothing to hesitate, just convince King Qiuci to let him understand the situation.

This is much simpler than before.

Shen Bing saw a sudden smile on Princess Wuyou's face... In fact, it was the eyes. Princess Wuyou, who covered her face with a tulle, rarely showed her true colors, except when Shen Bing was lucky enough to see her when he rescued her.

Shen Bing asked curiously:

"The princess is still talking and laughing in front of the Xiongnu army, she is very courageous!"

Princess Wuyou blushed and said with a smile:

"Where am I so courageous?"

"But knowing that the speed is faster than the Xiongnu, even if you can't beat it, you can still run!"

Princess Wuyou's words are used to cover up, but she said it unintentionally, which is another advantage of being fast...you can escape if you can't fight.

This is not "cowardly and cowardly", but an advantage at the strategic level.

Because in this way, the psychological pressure on Qin Qi will be much less... Fight if you can beat it, and run away if you can't beat it, no matter what, there will be no excessive casualties.

On the contrary, the Xiongnu cavalry was only allowed to win but not to lose.

The reason is that the Xiongnu have no speed advantage, so it’s okay if they win, but if they lose, they become a rout... The Xiongnu can travel 100 miles a day, but Qin cavalry can travel 150 miles a day, how can they escape?

As a result, the Huns' psychological pressure will increase exponentially.

Although this psychological pressure is invisible and intangible, it can often determine the outcome of a war.

Chapter 471 It's All About You

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Bing set up camp to rest. This move allowed the Qin Army to rest and recuperate, and at the same time gave the Huns more time to form enough psychological pressure...

Psychological pressure, sometimes the more time you spend thinking, the greater the pressure, and if you don't have time to think, it will just pass by in a flash.

Youxian Wang Xunyun really realized this.

At this time, he spent a lot of effort and finally knew why the Qin cavalry army was faster than the Xiongnu.

The subordinates rushed to report:

"Youxian King, according to the soldiers in front, the reason why Qin Qi is faster is because they have two pedals tied to the belly of the horse."

"In this way, the Qin army will ride on horseback as if walking on flat ground."

"Not only is the horse riding faster, but the hands no longer need to hug the horse's neck..."

At this time, the Huns did not know that a large part of the reason for their fast speed was the nailing of horseshoes.

But in fact, the speed is also related to the saddle and stirrup.

The reason why the rider could only travel hundreds of miles a day was also related to the rider’s struggle to maintain balance on the horse’s back for a long time. With the saddle and stirrups, the rider was much more relaxed, so he saved a lot of energy and of course he could go farther .

Xun Xun was shocked when he heard this.

Install two pedals at the belly of the horse?

That's a good idea!

Why did the Xiongnu not think of this point for raising and riding horses for thousands of years, but let the Qin army, who mainly focused on farming, think of it? !

Then think about it in detail:

If Qin Qi was faster than the Xiongnu, he could advance, attack, retreat, and defend, but the Xiongnu had no choice but to run for their lives and waste their energy. How could they fight?

But if he didn't fight, he couldn't escape because he was not as fast as Qin Jun.

This battle is neither escape nor...

Thinking of this, Xunyun panicked immediately, and at that moment he knew that the defeat of the Huns was certain, even though the Huns had more troops than the Qin army.

But of course, Xun Xun would not say these words out of his mouth.

Because the analysis is given to the subordinates, not only will the subordinates have no solution, but they will panic because of it. If it is spread again...

At this time, Xun Xun regretted not obeying Mao Dun Shanyu's order.

Mao Dun Shanyu told him not to rush to attack for the time being, and to make plans after Shanyu's troops joined forces with him.

But this time, it wasn't that Xun Yun deliberately disobeyed Shan Yu's order.

Because the Huns have always had the advantage of speed, whether it is against the Western Regions or against the Qin army, especially in the grasslands.

So Xun Xun has become accustomed to this kind of tactics with speed advantage.

If you have a speed advantage, you can start the war whenever you want, and leave the battlefield if you want to. The initiative is all in the hands of the Huns.

Therefore, there is no problem for Xun Xun to lead the army and follow the cavalry of the Western Regions.

What's more, Mao Dun Shanyu definitely didn't know that Qin Jun's goal was Dragon City... Dragon City was a place that must be saved, and Xun Yun had no choice but to do so.

The problem is that the speed advantage is suddenly not in the Xiongnu but in the Qin army.

So the initiative was completely lost, and Xun Yun didn't know how to deal with it.

Then Xun Xun became nervous again:

The cavalry of the Huns all grew up on horseback. Few of them understood their strategies and strategies, but they were all proficient in cavalry.

At this time, they knew that the Qin army was faster and could maintain balance without supporting the horse's neck. In addition, the Huns were frightened by the Qin army and their morale was low... I am afraid that they will collapse if they don't need to fight for a long time.

Thinking of this, Xun Yun thought that the Xiongnu only had one battle, and the sooner the better.

After thinking up to this point, Xun Yun gritted his teeth and ordered:

"The whole army goes to war!"

The subordinates responded and passed the order down.

Soon, a low-pitched horn sounded over the Huns camp.

The Xiongnu cavalry turned on their horses one by one, adjusted their formation, and swarmed out with Xun Yun's order.

This seemed to be expected by Shen Bing.

Because Shen Bing's judgment is the same, in this case the Xiongnu can't afford it, and soon there will be deserters.

But with the Xiongnu's combat style, it is difficult to stop deserters once they start.

Because they used to "fight if you can beat it, and run away if you can't beat it", now that most people think that they can't beat it...it is a matter of course to run away.

So Xun Xun had no choice but to put all his eggs in one basket, hoping to launch an attack with more troops when his morale was still low, and there was still a chance of winning.

Without hesitation, Shen Bing ordered loudly:

"Get on your horses and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Issue an order to order the Western Regions and the Yuezhi armies to attack on their own!"

Pu Lei's army responded with a bang, and got on their horses one after another to prepare for battle.

At the same time, two sounding arrows flew into the air and exploded, and a sounding arrow was sent back from the direction of the Western Regions and Yueshi to indicate that they had received the message.

The Xiongnu cavalry moved slowly at the beginning, and teams gathered in various directions...

Looking from a distance, Shen Bing knew that the Xiongnu concentrated their main force in the direction of the Pu Lei Army, that is, Shen Bing. There were about [-] troops, densely packed and densely packed.

This is understandable.

Before that, the Xiongnu's best target was the Western Region Army, because it had gathered soldiers from 36 countries.

But when the Pulei cavalry arrived, the best target became the Pulei army.

The reason is simple. The Pu Lei Army is the least powerful force, and it is also gathered together with scattered soldiers from 36 countries in the Western Regions.

What's more important is that Pu Lei's army has just arrived from the rear of more than [-] miles, and it is a tired army.

Xun Yun's plan is to contain the Western Regions and Yueshi armies with [-] troops respectively, and to eat up the Pu Lei army with an absolute superiority of [-] troops, with [-] troops serving as the reserve force.

Then, [-] troops can outflank and annihilate the Western Regions and Yuezhi armies one by one.

however……

What Xun Yun didn't expect was that Shen Bing was in Pu Lei's army.

He even didn't expect that although the Pu Lei Army was the weakest of the three cavalry armies and was also put together by countries in the Western Regions, it was the cavalry army with the best morale and quality.

As I said before, although the source of troops for the Pu Lei Army comes from the Western Regions, its military system is the same as that of the Qin Army. They have Qin nationality and status, and of course they also have the [-] military merit title system.

When this army knew that the Western Regions and the Yuezhi were the first and the infantry were behind, there were constant voices of opposition... They couldn't wait to make meritorious service and get promoted to the feudal land.

Seeing that there is a battle at this moment, everyone is gearing up and eager to try.

After the Huns assembled their troops, they divided into several directions and rushed towards the three armies of Qin and Cavalry.

Among them, the 1 cavalry who rushed to the Pu Lei Army were divided into four teams: the left team, the right team, and the middle two teams, each with [-] people.

Obviously, the Huns were planning to surround the Qin army.

Shen Bing waited for a while, then with a wave of his hand, two thousand Pu Lei troops went up to the center.

It was Youxian King Xunyun who led the [-] riders. He was stunned when he saw Qin Jun's tactics:

Two thousand riders against forty thousand riders?

Others stand still?

But Xun Yun secretly rejoiced, this Qin general must not be good at riding and fighting, so he made such a mistake.

The opportunity cannot be missed, when will it be better to win without a fight at this time?

Chapter 472 Fireball Cavalry

Of course, Shen Bing did not use these 2000 people to deal with the 4 Huns.

Whether it is a cavalry battle or a foot battle on the battlefield, it is very taboo to be surrounded by the enemy.

Because once surrounded, no amount of troops can spread out and huddle together in the middle, especially the cavalry... If the cavalry is squeezed in the middle and loses their speed advantage, they will basically have to wait for death.

The Xiongnu's formation obviously wanted to encircle the Qin army.

This is the advantage of having a large number of troops...with a large number of troops, it can be divided into several parts, and each part can stand alone without being eaten by the enemy.

For example, the Huns facing the Pu Lei army at this time: [-] on the left wing, [-] on the right wing, and [-] in the middle.
