Chapter 204 Fusu: Why don’t you bow to me when you see me?

The three thousand great snow dragon riders that gradually appeared in sight were like scattered small reefs on the coast. They were so few in number that it seemed that they could all be destroyed with just one wave.

In front of an army of 60,000, three thousand seemed so insignificant.

However, faced with such a disparity in military strength, none of the Great Snow Dragon Riders showed any fear. They stood there quietly, like a reef, and would not fall down despite the wind and waves.

Soon, the two armies looked at each other from a distance, and under the reflection of the morning sun, they were ten miles apart.

Maodun Chanyu, the unifier of the Western Regions, did not act rashly in the face of only 3,000 enemy cavalry.

He reined in his horse and stared, and after a moment, his face darkened. Facing 60,000 enemy cavalry, the one who could remain silent and without a neigh from the horses must be either a statue or a fool, he must be confident!

At this moment, the war horses on the opposite side showed no fear, which meant that they were indeed fearless.

However, Maodun was puzzled. The other side had only 3,000 people. How could they be so fearless in the face of 60,000 powerful Xiongnu cavalry?

After some thought, Maodun gave the order.

"Send three thousand long-range archers to test the enemy's situation!"

On the opposite side, the three thousand Snow Dragon Riders were indeed fearless.

If they did not have to consider protecting the people behind them, they would be confident that they could wipe out the enemy's 60,000 troops with their mobility and battlefield lethality alone.

However, war is not just a paper war.

Faced with Maodun's overwhelming numerical advantage and cautious testing, the atmosphere on the Great Snow Dragon Riders' side also became solemn.

In front of the battlefield, Qin Shi Huang and Huo Qubing stood side by side. Their mission was to delay the enemy for one day. Qin Shi Huang was not afraid of the enemy's crazy charge.

In that case, perhaps Zhuge Liannu could kill several horses in one fell swoop when the enemy was caught off guard.

Despite the absolute advantage in military strength, the enemy only sent 3,000 cavalry to test the enemy. It was obvious that they had seen through something. This cautious move by someone who was well versed in military tactics seemed particularly steady.

They fought again and again, and with only 3,000 of them, they might soon be able to find out the strength of the Great Snow Dragon Riders. This situation made people worry.

Fusu rode his horse to the side of Huo Qubing and spoke with a serious expression.

"General Huo, the enemy is not as reckless as Zuo Xian Wang. In addition to the previous battle, they seem to have seen through the strength of our Great Snow Dragon Cavalry."

"They are advancing step by step now. Even if our three thousand warriors are brave, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out!"

Fusu turned his gaze to the unfamiliar Great Snow Dragon Cavalry general on the left and continued to ask: "General, what is your name? When will the reinforcements from my Great Qin arrive?!"

When Qin Shi Huang heard Fusu's question, his whole body trembled instantly!
This sound?
"Fusu?"

The First Emperor couldn't help but shout out this name!

It turned out to be his eldest son Fusu? !

"You're not dead?!"

The First Emperor was surprised and couldn't believe it!
That day outside Hangu Pass, he received news that Fusu had rushed into the encirclement of the Huns alone. He originally thought that the eldest prince was in great danger.

The First Emperor never thought that he would see the living Fusu here at this moment, and he couldn't help feeling excited.

However, Fusu frowned upon hearing this: "Who are you? You actually know this young master!"

"Anyone who knows me should follow the etiquette of the Qin Empire. Since you recognize me, why don't you dismount and salute me?"

The First Emperor was stunned for a moment, then he found it a little funny. He didn't even recognize my voice.

It seems that after my cultivation has been promoted to the late Grandmaster stage, I have indeed become much younger, and even my voice has returned to the state it was when I was thirty years old.

The First Emperor was always magnanimous towards Fusu, and he did not get angry when he heard him speak like this.

He smiled and said, "I'm glad you're alive. It's not appropriate to meet on the battlefield. We can talk after the war."

The First Emperor's tone turned serious and he discussed things with Huo Qubing.

"General Huo, our mission is to contain the enemy, at least until tonight." "Our most powerful weapon is the Zhuge Ten-link Crossbow. Once used properly, we may be able to destroy 30% to 50% of the enemy's forces in one fell swoop."

"Therefore, we must try our best to hide the power of the Ten Crossbows before the main force of the enemy moves out."

Huo Qubing nodded in agreement. He had previously ordered his men to put on heavy armor and charge at the enemy's 20,000 cavalry, with the intention of concealing the power of Zhuge Crossbow.

Of the 20,000 cavalrymen who escaped, more than 8,000 of them would certainly report to Maodun the horror of the black heavy cavalry they encountered.

For this reason, he deliberately did not wear heavy armor today, aiming to lure the enemy deep into his territory and then strike them by surprise.

However, Maodun was so cautious that he did not act rashly in the face of 3,000 light cavalry. Instead, he sent spies to test the situation first.

Da da da da-
Three thousand Hun cavalry came galloping from ten miles away.

When they were halfway there, the First Emperor, with the eyesight of a grandmaster, had already seen that the enemy cavalry were all carrying longbows.

"This batch of vanguard cavalry should focus on long-range shooting."

"Orders conveyed: Snow Dragon Riders, put on longbows and prepare for battle!"

"First wave of attack, respond to the enemy's provocation with bows and arrows!"

"Load the bow and load the arrow!"

The order was like thunder. In an instant, the three thousand Snow Dragon Riders uniformly put on longbows, carried quivers on their backs, dispersed to the left and right, and stood still as a rock, ready to go.

Witnessing this scene, the Hun's 3,000 long-shooting cavalry general sneered.

"How dare you challenge us in archery?"

"Don't they know that the Xiongnu's cavalry archery, with the help of the speed of horses, is the best long-range archery in the world?"

"Warriors, let the Qin people have a taste of the power of our grassland archery!"

"shooting!"

The Xiongnu cavalry marched forward in formation, and when they were about a mile away from the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, they suddenly turned and galloped sideways.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalrymen drew their bows and arrows.

In an instant, hundreds of arrows, like a torrential rain, crossed a mile of space and shot towards the Snow Dragon Riders.

It was a rough shot, the aiming was not precise, but at this distance, it was the longest range in the world.

It was precisely because of this ultra-long-range group attack that the Huns were invincible!
However, this time their opponent is the almighty Great Snow Dragon Rider.

Facing the rain of arrows, the Great Snow Dragon Riders showed no fear.

Although their light armor is thin, it is enough to withstand the penetration of these wooden arrows!
A projectile arrow relies more on wind and inertia, and its power is far less than that of an arrow shot from a strong bow.

The bow in the Great Snow Dragon Rider's hand is a powerful bow with the power of eight stones!

"Draw the bow and shoot!"

The eight hundred Snow Dragon Riders in the first row drew their bows at the same time.

boom!
The shock of the bowstring rebounding resounded through heaven and earth.

Eight hundred feather arrows streaked across the sky like meteors and shot directly at the Hun cavalry five hundred meters away. Heavy bows, long arrows, accurate ultra-long-distance shooting!

Puff puff puff!
The Snow Dragon Cavalry's arrows accurately pierced the bodies of the Hun cavalry, although they were the last to strike.

In the first round of volleys, hundreds of Hun cavalry fell to the ground.

Chanyu Maodun's eyes narrowed. How could the Qin army stand still and shoot at such a long distance?
Arrows flew back and forth, and the Huns' rain of arrows was like fallen leaves in the wind, drawing a semi-arc and flying rapidly towards the Snow Dragon Riders.
