Chapter 200 Is this the end?
North, a hundred miles away.

Twenty thousand Xiongnu cavalry, like a torrent and a swarm of locusts, marched southward from Yanmen Pass.

They were covered in furs, carried longbows, had broadswords on their waists, had ferocious faces and were as fierce as wolves.

The goal of this trip is clear, which is to slaughter all the people of Qin, plunder their wealth, occupy their land, and expand the territories of all nations for the Xiongnu!
This 20,000-strong Hun vanguard had only one mission: to kill!
We must scare the Qin people and force the Qin army to go to war and face death!
And do not accept prisoners, this was Maodun’s order this morning!

The Xiongnu cavalry that set out today are from the court of Zuoxian King, and their archery skills are even more sophisticated.

Twenty thousand cavalrymen swept southward like a torrent, and just as they were ready to turn the first village into a purgatory.

In the wilderness, a row of silent black cavalry stood quietly like a barrier in the dark night, their calm appearance concealing a surging fighting spirit!
The two sides were only three miles apart.

The Xiongnu Zuoxian King raised his hand slightly, signaling the army to stop.

He squinted his eyes and stared at the motionless Qin cavalry for a long time, then suddenly laughed wildly: "Hahahaha!"

"How many soldiers and horses did the Great Qin dispatch to actually dare to stop the sharp edge of dozens of my cavalry!"

"So they are just some insignificant scum?!"

"My boys, listen up!"

"Spur the horse and draw the arrow!"

"Let's break through them in one go!"

"Let these more than a thousand cavalrymen have a taste of what it feels like to be shot at by a volley of arrows!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!!"

The sound of killing resounded through the sky.

The 20,000 Hun cavalry suddenly accelerated and charged straight towards the Snow Dragon Cavalry.

There was a loud rumbling sound and the earth shook.

However, the 1700 Snow Dragon Riders here remained indifferent. Except for the wind between heaven and earth, no force could shake their composure.

Huo Qubing waited calmly, neither in a hurry to charge nor to counterattack.

Fusu saw this scene from his horse and was extremely anxious: "General Huo, run away! Quickly!"

"The enemy is the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wangting, who are famous for their long-range shooting. They can shoot arrows at extremely long distances while running at full speed, up to a mile away!"

"If they get within two miles, a rain of 20,000 arrows will kill all of us!"

"General Huo, now is not the time to be brave, hurry up and leave!"

"Quiet!"

Huo Qubing responded coldly, still sitting firmly on his horse, watching what would happen.

Soon, the Hun cavalry approached, only one mile away.

Swish, swish, swish!
Following an order from Zuo Xian Wang, 20,000 Hun arrows rose from the enemy camp like a storm, and black shadows swept across, covering the sky and the sun, which was incomparable even to the densest raindrops.

Faced with the offensive that the Qin army feared the most, Fusu showed a look of despair on his face.

The Huns' wooden longbows fired in unison, as dense and black as a swarm of locusts, pouring down towards the Snow Dragon Riders, accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind.

A dark shadow enveloped the area several hundred meters around the Great Snow Dragon Rider.

The Huns accurately calculated the possible escape routes of the Qin cavalry when faced with the rain of arrows.

In the past, when the Qin army faced the Huns' ultra-long-range cavalry archers, they could only temporarily hide under the large shields of the shield soldiers. Although it was a passive defense, the casualties were still controllable.

However, the thousand-man Qin cavalry in front of them were not equipped with large shields.

In fact, these Qin cavalry were completely shocked when they saw that the Huns could throw missiles at a distance of hundreds of steps using the speed of their horses!
They would never have expected that the Xiongnu cavalry's throwing distance was several times that of the Qin cavalry!
"Hahahahahaha!"

King Zuo Xian laughed wildly and ordered the cavalry to continue charging forward after completing the launching.

He firmly believed that this charge would be the moment to clean up the battlefield.

Because no army of a thousand men could survive unscathed under a rain of 20,000 arrows! The tough battles in the north honed the sharp vision of Fusu, the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, which was exactly the same as the judgment of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King.

After arriving at the border, Fusu and Meng Tian jointly commanded an army of 300,000.

After countless baptisms of blood and fire, his leadership ability and combat experience are unmatched among the princes of Qin!

From this we can see that Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng also intended to train Fusu as the successor to the border guardian.

However, at this moment, the eldest son's face suddenly changed when facing this rain of death!

The border troops fought against the Xiongnu cavalry many times and suffered from rain of arrows.

When confronting the Huns, the enemy's long-range shooting always surpasses ours.

Facing this impenetrable rain of arrows, the only countermeasure is to hide behind a huge wooden shield.

However, that was all they could do, they could only defend and not fight back.

This is the key reason why the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall to defend against the Huns.

Chase, the enemy is faster and harder to reach.

In combat, enemies can shoot you, but you can't touch them.

All the Xiongnu people were soldiers and learned riding and archery skills from a young age.

Although the Qin Dynasty had strong military forces and sufficient food and fodder, it was still at a disadvantage in this situation.

Therefore, for a long time there has been no effective countermeasure against the Huns.

Today, he and Huo Qubing once again encountered a rain of arrows attack from 20,000 Hun cavalry.

This time, the gap in numbers was far more than ten times, and General Huo Qubing seemed to have never seen such a horrifying scene. Facing this terrifying rain of arrows, he was completely stunned.

Even the 1,700 Great Snow Dragon Riders were shocked!
Seeing the Xiongnu cavalry approaching under the cover of arrow rain, Fusu was almost crazy with anxiety: "General Huo!!!"

"Escape!!!"

However, Huo Qubing just glanced at him coldly with contempt in his eyes.

He ordered sharply: "Raise your guns!"

Swish!
The 1,700 Great Snow Dragon Riders moved in unison, holding up the three-meter-long, three-hundred-pound steel spears in one hand, and waited intently.

Immediately afterwards, amid the triumphant laughter of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King and Fusu's fear, 20,000 arrows rained down like a storm.

Arrows poured down like heavy rain, crackling and hitting the formation of the Snow Dragon Riders directly.

After a burst of dense and rapid clanging and crackling sounds, the battlefield of the Great Snow Dragon Riders was filled with arrows.

Looking at the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry Corps again, it was no different from before, 1,700 men and horses, and not a single one moved.

No one was wounded by the arrows.

Only a few horses felt itchy and snorted.

Fusu opened his mouth wide, completely shocked.

He didn't even dare to blink at the fatal scene just now.

As a result, the rain of Hun arrows that usually mowed down the Qin soldiers like grass, shot at this group of heavily armored Snow Dragon Riders like fallen leaves brushing against their skin.

Only a few clinking sounds were heard, and occasionally one or two arrows accurately penetrated the gaps in the armor and were elegantly deflected by the Great Snow Dragon Riders with their spear tips.

The rest was of no use but to make a few war horses snort.

Is this the end? !

The rain of arrows that usually made the Qin soldiers despair only caused a slight noise, and then returned to silence! ?

Fusu was like a petrified being, he was extremely shocked!
