Chapter 219 The power of one person, one-on-one thousand riders! (Chapter 3)
Chapter 219 The power of one person can challenge a thousand riders! (3rd update)
Two days later, Yunzhong County.
On the grassland outside the Great Wall, several groups of Qin Army cavalry were also hunting.
Of course there are only some sheep here.
So the drill means more.
Zhao Lang led a group of Qin army infantry to watch against the Great Wall.
Everyone is more interested in watching the excitement.
"Brother Lang, just a few people, what's the point of looking at them?"
Hu Hai on the side said lazily.
They only have so many cavalry.
After seeing the Huns' large number of cavalry, he naturally lost interest.
Zhao Lang smiled and greeted the cavalry below who were showing off their strength, and said lightly,
"If you say one more thing, I will throw you out of here."
Hu Hai looked at the height of this position, and then wisely closed his mouth.
Start cheering for the cavalry below.
The cavalry below also became excited and ran around chasing the leader sheep.
Just like the cavalry surrounding the enemy, it looks extremely fierce.
And in order to let the infantry on the edge of the Great Wall see more clearly, they also came this way.
Suddenly, Hu Hai's expression changed and he said to Zhao Lang,
"Brother Lang, their sheep are going to the place where they dug the hole!"
He had just fallen down not long ago, but he specifically asked where the hole was dug.
He also knows how frantic these civilians are at digging holes!
Each one is deep enough to break a horse's hoof, and is covered with grass.
If the leader ran in, even if the cavalry behind them found out in time, at least a dozen horses would be killed.
It’s also a big loss for them!
At this time, some people had already run over to warn them, and some were shouting, but the cavalry below only thought that everyone was cheering for them.
On the contrary, he became more energetic.
Seeing that these people were about to chase the leader into the pit area.
Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky.
The next moment, the head sheep was nailed to the ground with a sharp arrow.
All the cavalry also stopped and looked in the direction of the arrow without knowing why.
Then he saw, high up, Zhao Lang slowly putting away his bow.
Everyone looked at the sheep and then at Zhao Lang, who was at least two hundred steps away.
Can't help but be stunned.
Hu Hai was even more stunned as he looked at Zhao Lang holding a bow.
How far was the distance just now? At least two hundred steps!
Although standing at a high place will increase the archery distance, from such a long distance, you can actually kill a scurrying sheep with one arrow.
It just doesn't make sense.
But Zhao Lang just put away his bow and arrow very naturally, as if he had just done an extremely inconspicuous thing.
"Brother Lang, you..."
Before Hu Hai finished his shocked words, a fast horse ran over and shouted,
"General! The Huns are attacking!"
Hearing this, Zhao Lang's face was as dark as water, and he said in a deep voice,
"Gather men back to camp!"
Zhao Lang had already anticipated the Xiongnu attack.
He attacked Maodun's tribe and captured other people's wives and children.
It’s strange that he won’t come here to take revenge!
Soon, all the thousands of generals gathered together.
"The Huns have arrived two hundred miles away. The spies said that at least 3,000 cavalry are coming towards us, and 10,000 more are heading towards Jiuyuan."
"And there are also cavalry joining in. The final total strength should not be less than 20,000."
Zhao Lang said calmly.
After hearing the news, no one was too panicked.
"General, this is the tradition of the Xiongnu. Before winter, they will also plunder supplies for the winter."
"It's just that in recent years they haven't dared to come here."
"Unexpectedly, their courage came back this time."
A thousand people will speak of it.
They were not afraid of the Huns.
"General, my subordinates are going to inform the counties and cities now so that they can prepare to close the cities."
"Let the people in the wild prepare to enter the city."
Another thousand will be spoken of.
This is the normal approach.
The Huns will never confront them head-on!
Every time they plundered, small groups of cavalry from the other side entered through different gaps, and then burned, killed, and looted.
If you have many people, others will avoid you; if you have few people, others will eat you up.
Simply incomprehensible!
Back then, Meng Tian always raided the opponent's royal court, forcing them to fight, and then defeated the Huns in one fell swoop.
Zhao Lang did not take it lightly. These were all farmers' lives, and he asked thousands of people to go and inform the counties.
He also sent someone to inform the general.
"Brother Lang, we have dug so many holes, there should be no problem."
Hu Hai said.
He always remembered the pain of that time.
Zhao Lang shook his head,
"The tunnel is only protected for a while. Once the opponent discovers it, it can be solved with soil and wooden boards, and it is not available across the board."
If the whole line really has to be hundreds of kilometers long, the people will not be able to bear the digging of holes.
He has to think of a way to get the other party to follow him.
Suddenly, Zhao Lang's heart moved and he said,
"Lu, find me someone in the cavalry who can speak the Xiongnu dialect."
Soon, the Huns' scouting horses appeared one after another around the Great Wall.
In Jiuyuan County, Meng Tian also received the news.
"What do you think?"
After handing the information in his hand to Fusu and Gao beside him, Meng Tian asked calmly.
These days, he has been teaching the two of them military skills.
After reading the information, Fusu thought for a moment, and then said,
"General, although the Xiongnu are coming fiercely, their number is only 20,000, so there is no threat."
"We are just holding on, well, we can also send some reinforcements to Yunzhong County."
After listening, Meng Tian was noncommittal, and then looked at Gao.
Gao returned at this time,
"General, I think this time the other party is more like a revenge. The main target of the other party is actually Yunzhong County."
"It's because of General Zhao's defeat of their tribe last time."
"So, I also feel that I need to support them."
There are many high-ranking generals in Jiuyuan County, so the Huns' cavalry cannot make any trouble.
Meng Tian nodded at this time and said,
"You are all right, the other party's main target this time is in Yunzhong County."
"Then do you think he can keep it?"
Fusu hesitated for a moment and returned,
"General, if we go head-to-head with the Huns, General Zhao has five thousand men and relies on the Great Wall, so there will definitely be no problem."
He had never doubted Zhao Lang's combat prowess.
"It's just that the Huns won't confront us head-on. General Zhao's side has more than 5,000 infantrymen, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist."
"When the Huns cavalry enters, Yunzhong County will probably not have an easy time."
Meng Tian immediately laughed and said,
"That's right. In that case, let's go and see how he will deal with it."
He just happened to go and see how Zhao Lang would deal with the enemy he was facing.
Two days later, Meng Tian appeared in Yunzhong County with a large number of cavalry.
As soon as I got close to the Great Wall, I was shocked to see Zhao Lang riding a horse alone, standing at a relatively flat gap in the Great Wall.
Opposite him were full of Huns cavalry.
Ordinary people would be so frightened when they saw this scene that they would be unable to move.
And Zhao Lang is not only able to move, but he is also extremely fearless of death and makes provocative movements.
It was as if he was afraid that these Huns cavalry would not come to charge him.
It seems that one person has to fight against thousands of riders!
And the next moment, the Huns cavalry in the distance were like a tide, rushing towards the gap!
Chapter completed!
