Chapter 208 Even if I die on the battlefield, I cannot abandon my brothers who fought with me
However, the First Emperor had never expected that this Xiongnu cavalry leader would be so courageous!
Faced with the almost annihilation of the frontal cavalry, he turned a blind eye and even at the moment when morale was extremely low, he still ordered the entire army to pursue!
It has to be said that the leader of the opposing Hun army was both ruthless and made an extremely correct decision.

Indeed, at this moment, if they pressed forward on all fronts and surrounded the Great Snow Dragon Riders, it would undoubtedly be the best opportunity for them to snipe them.

The attack power of the Great Snow Dragon Riders was the best in the entire arena, but after ten arrows, the momentum of their continuous attacks could no longer form an overwhelming impact.

Next, they could only rely on bows and arrows. However, even if they were so brave, they could not pull the bow that weighed eight stones frequently. After a few times, most of their physical strength would be exhausted.

As for close combat, although they were wearing silver light armor and were still the best among the cavalry of the same level, the light armor could not withstand too many attacks after all.

If there were only a few thousand or even ten thousand enemy troops, they would still be able to sweep the battlefield.

However, the enemy still has 30,000 troops, which is ten times the number of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, and they are all cavalry with superb riding and archery skills.

Once they were drawn into a tight encirclement, the consequences would be disastrous. Although Maodun Chanyu's tactic was unexpected, it was surprisingly accurate.

In fact, even if these 3,000 Snow Dragon Riders could be completely wiped out, Maodun's 30,000 cavalry would also suffer heavy losses.

however……

The First Emperor was riding among the great snow dragon riders!
His safety is of vital importance!

Therefore, this pursuit is the real fatal threat to the Great Snow Dragon Riders.

On the vast land in the north, the Great Snow Dragon Rider, like a giant silver dragon, suddenly turned around and galloped away as fast as lightning.

Behind him, more than 2,000 scattered Hun cavalry were terrified but had to obey Maodun's orders and chase after him.

On both sides, about 500 meters away, there were 10,000 Hun cavalry archers, surrounding the center.

Although the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is as fast as lightning, the main force of the Xiongnu cavalry on both sides is good at mounted archery.

They didn't need to chase too closely, they just needed to block the retreat route of the Snow Dragon Riders with arrows.

Maodun Chanyu personally led the main force of his personal troops and chased after them from the rear.

Maodun's personal cavalry were extremely powerful, whether in long-range shooting or close combat, and were able to gain the upper hand even when facing the elite black-armored army of the Qin army.

At this moment, Maodun was determined and vowed to destroy the 3,000-man Snow Dragon Cavalry team at all costs.

The tens of thousands of Hun troops showed the ferocity of prairie wolves at this moment.

Even though tens of thousands of their comrades fell, they still rushed straight to the target with bloodshot eyes!

The Great Snow Dragon Riders galloped across the yellow earth like a silver dragon, with violent winds and heavy rain.

On both sides, tens of thousands of Hun cavalry continued to shoot arrows at the Snow Dragon Cavalry, the arrows raining like a waterfall.

They accurately predicted the Great Snow Dragon Riders' route and landing point.

In such a high-speed chase, even the Snow Dragon Riders wearing light armor did not dare to underestimate the existence of the rain of arrows.

They rushed left and right, constantly changing direction, slowing down when the rain of arrows approached, and blocking with their weapons.

As a result, the encirclement of the Hun cavalry on both sides and in the rear became tighter.

When they were left with no other choice, the Great Snow Dragon Riders stood firm, drew their bows and arrows, and forcibly carved out a way out of the enemy's formation!
boom!
In an instant, three thousand sharp arrows shot out from the Snow Dragon Cavalry formation like a rainstorm, heading straight for the Hun cavalry group that was encircling them from the front.

Bang bang bang!

Arrows whistled through the air, and the Hun cavalry fell to the ground, creating a mess.

The silver dragon-like Snow Dragon Rider took advantage of the brief breakthrough, swept out like a hurricane, and continued to gallop forward.

however,
The 30,000 Hun cavalry on both sides turned a blind eye to the death of their companions, galloped on their horses, continued to encircle them, and at the same time shot arrows to interfere and hinder their route and speed.

Maodun Chanyu led thousands of personal guards and tried his best to catch up. At this moment, if the Snow Dragon Riders tried to shoot arrows again, they could inflict heavy damage to the enemy, but facing the fierce siege of the Xiongnu, they would not be able to escape the fate of being besieged.

Once this happens, the Great Snow Dragon Riders, who are not wearing heavy armor, will come into close combat with the Huns, who are ten times their number. Even if they are all highly skilled in martial arts, they cannot avoid being caught in a brutal melee, and casualties are inevitable!

The First Emperor had no choice but to give the order, and the three thousand Snow Dragon Riders drew their bows again, penetrated an exit, and bravely broke out again.

However, this time the Snow Dragon Cavalry was already unable to cope with the situation. Even when they rushed out, the Hun cavalry on both sides had approached to a distance of less than fifty meters!
Maodun Chanyu was pressing forward from the rear, and the situation was becoming increasingly critical.

The First Emperor remained calm, but Fusu was extremely anxious.

"Father, why don't you go first!"

"I will lead these Great Snow Dragon Riders to fight the Xiongnu to the death and cover your retreat!"

"Father, if we don't leave now it will be too late. We can die, but you can't!"

Fusu thought to himself that it was not easy to be reborn.

Unexpectedly, he was greeted with a loud slap in the face.

Snapped!
"Evil son!"

"We are the Great Snow Dragon Riders. We share honor and disgrace. How can I abandon my teammates and escape alone?!"

"You must remember that today I am not an emperor, but just an ordinary Great Snow Dragon Cavalry general!"

"Even if I die on the battlefield, I cannot abandon the brothers who fought alongside me!"

"Do you understand it?"

Fusu: Old man in subway looking at his phone.jpg
He responded in a low voice: "Father, I understand."

Alas, but father, you are the emperor. No matter how brave the Great Snow Dragon Riders are, they are just ordinary soldiers. How can their lives be as precious as yours?
Father, I haven't seen you for these two months. Why have you become so stubborn?

The First Emperor also sighed secretly in his heart.

Alas, Fusu was too bookish, and was still obsessed with the idea that the emperor was the Son of Heaven and the common people were inferior.

If Xiao Shisan was here, he would never think of abandoning the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and running away by himself!
After all, Fusu is still not mature enough!
Alas, I used to think that Fusu was quite outstanding in all aspects except his preference for Confucianism.

I thought he could take over the baton of the throne of my Great Qin, but in the past two months, compared with Xiao Shisan, why do I feel that Fusu is inferior to him in every way?
They were pedantic and powerless, and were unable to adapt to the Huns' tactics and simply confronted them head-on.

Alas, does this child really have the courage to shoulder such a heavy responsibility?

His thoughts briefly drifted between his two sons, but his focus still needed to be on the crisis at hand.

It was heard that the Huns had a new Khan named Maodun who was extremely fierce, but the First Emperor never expected that he would be so cruel.

His keen intuition in grasping the battlefield is amazing!
Even though he witnessed his own cavalry falling in droves and thousands of lives being lost, he still held on tenaciously, vowing to keep these three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders on the battlefield.

Maodun Chanyu's decision was indeed wise, but it gave Qin Shihuang a headache.

Charging forward, but unable to increase speed.

In order to kill the enemy, the First Emperor was always reluctant to let the lightly armed Snow Dragon Cavalry engage in close combat with the Huns.

He cherishes every Great Snow Dragon Rider and is unwilling to make any sacrifices.

Of course, if there is no way to avoid it, he will lead the entire army to turn around, attack the main force of the Huns, and kill Maodun Chanyu on the horse!
