Chapter 203 Thirteen thousand versus sixty thousand, is there still a way out?
At this moment, the Qin army marched out in a mighty force, including three thousand mighty Snow Dragon Riders, three thousand sharp Divine Arrow Battalion, and ten thousand mighty Golden Spear Soldiers, who jointly fought against sixty thousand enemy cavalry!
The 80,000 troops led by Wang Ben and his son Wang Li in the central army, as the third strategic wave, must arrive at the battlefield within two days!
When these words were spoken, Wang Ben, Wang Li and Meng Yi were all shocked!
Thirteen thousand against sixty thousand?!
Is there any way out?
Han Xin, are you sure?!
Han Xin's order was issued, sending only 10,000 people to the battlefield to face the 60,000 cavalry of the Huns.
What is even more surprising is that His Majesty was entrusted with the important task of being the vanguard!
Wang Ben's expression suddenly changed, and he became confused.
How can this be?
Did Han Xin have insight into something?
Has he seen through Your Majesty's identity and deliberately sent him to die in order to ensure the stability of the Thirteenth Prince's position?
Wang Ben stood up to refute, but was stopped by the First Emperor's cold gaze, so he had to sit down again in embarrassment.
Well, the situation is like this. If Your Majesty does not go, millions of people in the entire northern border of the Qin Dynasty will be exposed to the iron hooves of the Xiongnu cavalry.
Judging from their determination for revenge, the situation of the people of Qin must be miserable.
The situation is dangerous at this moment. Even if Han Xin does not give the order, Your Majesty will probably reveal his identity, step forward and send troops to rescue.
Now that His Majesty is here, the decision-making power naturally belongs to him, and I have no say here.
However, how could they resist the 60,000-strong Hun cavalry with only 10,000 vanguards?
Even if we delay or take detours, how long can we hold out?
The enemy is cavalry. The combat effectiveness of an elite cavalryman on the battlefield is equivalent to that of five or six infantrymen!
Wang Ben was extremely anxious and his thoughts were in a mess.
……
Wang Li was also shocked, but as a general of the Qin Dynasty, he understood that Han Xin's decision was the best option at the moment. Only in this way could the safety of the people in the northern border be barely preserved.
Although this 10,000-man vanguard force might not be spared, if they can tie down the main force of the Huns, and then the subsequent 80,000 troops and Meng Tian's 300,000 border troops form a siege, it may not be impossible to defeat the Huns and drive them back outside the Great Wall!
And Meng Yi was already panicked at this moment!
How can this be?
That's His Majesty!
They actually let him lead 1,300 people to stop 60,000 Xiongnu cavalry? !
Isn't this pushing Your Majesty to the brink of death?
As for the three thousand divine arrow battalions and ten thousand golden spear soldiers, what use are they?
How to fight against the Hun cavalry without strong mobility?
What’s more, the difference in numbers is huge!
Meng Yi's bandaged body immediately stood up and shouted to Han Xin: "No!"
"How can the Great Snow Dragon Riders go there? Isn't this just sending themselves to die in vain?!"
Meng Yi's vague words and scarred appearance meant that his opposition was not taken seriously, but rather seemed somewhat ridiculous.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be laughing at him, Meng Yi became even more anxious and stood up to argue with Han Xin.
"Cough cough."
However, the Qin Shi Huang only let out a subtle cough, which seemed to have triggered a switch in Meng Yi's heart, causing him to freeze instantly, and then sit down awkwardly.
Wang Li, who always had a keen insight, was very surprised by this.
Wang Li originally had doubts about Meng Yi's explanation that he fell at night and was covered with bruises. At this moment, he became more and more curious about the captain of the Snow Dragon Cavalry wearing silver armor!
The First Emperor's thoughts were exactly the same as Wang Ben's.
At this time of turmoil and the threat of the Huns, no matter whether he is the leader of the Snow Dragon Cavalry or the Emperor of Qin, he cannot sit idly by.
Just as Wang Ben expected, if Han Xin had not given the order, the First Emperor would have stepped forward and ordered the vanguard troops to act quickly to save the people in the north.
Now, with the military genius Han Xin present, he issued the only order that could save the northern border, and the First Emperor had no choice but to accept it. As for his own safety, the First Emperor was confident that with his late Grandmaster strength and the Snow Dragon Riders under his crotch, even if the whole army was annihilated, he would have no problem preserving himself.
However, the First Emperor did not want to lose. He decided to lead the team himself for another reason: at this moment, he had subtle expectations for his little Thirteen.
Three thousand Snow Dragon Riders, three thousand Divine Arrow Battalion, and ten thousand Golden Spear Soldiers.
These were the elite troops trained by Xiao Shisan. The Snow Dragon Cavalry alone had brought great surprise to the First Emperor.
Perhaps, the other two types of troops will also bring unexpected surprises?
Han Xin looked around and saw that everyone had no objection, so he gave the order decisively.
"Zhao Zheng, lead 1,300 Snow Dragon Riders to set off immediately, and serve as the vanguard alongside Huo Qubing to hold off the Xiongnu for twelve hours!"
"Lü Bu, lead the 3,000-man Divine Arrow Battalion; Mu Guiying, command the 10,000 Golden Spear Soldiers. Set off immediately and make sure to reach the battlefield within one day, meet up with the Snow Dragon Cavalry, and tie down the enemy's main force for three days!"
"As ordered!"
"As ordered!"
"As ordered!"
The First Emperor led the Snow Dragon Cavalry at a gallop of 1,300 silver-armored light cavalry. In just two hours, they arrived outside the Yanmen Pass and joined forces with Huo Qubing.
Their mission was to stop the 60,000 Hun cavalry from moving south and delay them for twelve hours.
This time, the command of the three thousand Snow Dragon Riders was given to the First Emperor.
"All Snow Dragon Riders, put on light armor, carry bows and crossbows, and prepare enough food, fodder, and arrows!"
"Today, let the Xiongnu cavalry see what the real art of horseback archery is!"
"promise!"
Fusu also changed into the light armor of the Snow Dragon Cavalry and moved with the team.
Hearing the voice of the new Snow Dragon Cavalry General, his heart was shocked!
Why does this voice sound so much like my father's when he was young?
In addition, Fusu had never imagined that there were as many as 1,300 Snow Dragon Riders, with a total of 3,000!
On ordinary days, this power is enough to accomplish many great things.
However, at this moment, facing 60,000 enemy troops, 3,000 people seemed outnumbered!
He sighed and accepted the fact.
My life was saved by those great snow dragon riders.
At this moment, I decided to fight side by side with these brave warriors to resist the invasion of the Hun cavalry.
Even if I have to sacrifice my life on this battlefield, it is my duty as the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty.
Three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders transformed into silver-armored guards, standing like indestructible barriers on the northern border, blocking the Huns' southward advance.
At dawn, the sun was rising and the skyline was slightly red. On the distant horizon, the scouts caught the sound of horse hooves dozens of miles away, which was the roar of tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry.
The Great Snow Dragon Riders held their bows and crossbows tightly, sat astride their horses, and were ready for battle.
Three thousand against sixty thousand, this is the biggest challenge they have faced since their birth.
In order to protect the people in Qin from harassment by the Huns, they deliberately put on light armor and went into battle lightly.
Wearing light armor, they have become the masters of speed and endurance in this land!
At the same time, Maodun Chanyu also received information that the Qin Dynasty had only sent 3,000 cavalry to fight against their 60,000-strong army.
"Only three thousand?!" Maodun was shocked. Who was he despising?
"Warriors, first destroy these three thousand enemy troops, and then massacre hundreds of villages in the northern border!"
"kill!"
Sixty thousand Hun cavalrymen rolled southward along the mountain road like a torrent, with great momentum, like huge waves hitting the coast.
