Chapter 211 Three Thousand Cavalrymen, Maodun’s Nightmare!

The general himself was also a sharpshooter with a range of 500 meters.

He knew very well how difficult it was to shoot an arrow from five hundred meters away at a speed so fast that it was difficult for anyone to detect!

It can be said that a shooter with such accuracy and strength is extremely lethal even when facing an enemy 800 meters away.

At least, as the Huns' vanguard general, he couldn't do it.

In the entire land of Xiongnu and Donghu, there is no warrior who can match him.

However, it takes an enormous amount of physical strength to pull such a strong bow.

Normally, it is not easy for an outstanding archer to shoot one arrow a day.

Anyone who can shoot three arrows in succession is definitely the strongest archer in the army.

And these Qin cavalrymen in front of him had already chased and shot countless arrows. The general had never heard of or seen anything like it!

However, Maodun Chanyu was watching from behind. Since he did not order a retreat, the captain in front asked whether to charge, and there was only one answer.

"rush!"

"There's no way they'll pull the arrow again!"

"Pass the order down. The first person to reach the foot of the mountain and light the fire will be named the Great Warrior of the Grassland when he returns to the camp, and will be rewarded with 100 horses, 100 sheep, and 10 women from Daqin!"

boom! !

The generous rewards inspired the fighting spirit of the Xiongnu cavalry. They firmly believed that the other side must have been at the end of its strength and could no longer shoot such powerful arrows!
Encouraged by the huge reward and with the Chanyu personally supervising the army, the 5,000-strong Xiongnu cavalry once again charged forward like a swarm of bees.

I would rather die in battle than become a slave of a conquered nation. Charge!

However, history repeated itself. Thousands of black arrows streaked across the hillside, and every Hun cavalryman who crossed the 500-meter line was shot and fell to the ground without exception.

In just a few dozen breaths, another 5,000-man Hun cavalry brigade disappeared without a trace.

At this point, the three Hun cavalry battalions sent out had been completely wiped out, leaving only two.

The captain of the fourth Hun cavalry battalion turned around and asked the vanguard general tremblingly.

"General, will you continue to charge?"

Although he had been through many battles and had won numerous victories, his voice was trembling at this moment.

The enemy before us is no mortal at all!

The general's face was as pale as frost and snow under the moonlight, his eyes were wide open with a look of shock.

His lips trembled, and he whispered, "How is it possible? Can you still shoot?"

"And so precise and so fast?"

"No...this is impossible!"

“This doesn’t make sense!??”

He glanced at the captain who was questioning him, swallowed hard, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask the Chanyu."

The Huns' vanguard general, with a face as pale as paper, stared at the scene in disbelief.

Faced with the captain's questioning, he was also full of hesitation.

He raised his hands unconsciously, stopping his brothers' charge.

Then he turned his head to look at the Huns' central tent, staring at the man who was revered by thousands of Huns, and asked loudly.

"Sir Chanyu, a full ten thousand of my twenty-five thousand warriors have fallen."

"If we continue to charge, and the enemy can still shoot, none of us will survive."

"By then, let alone burning the forest, I'm afraid the Qin army will counterattack from the mountain and we will be powerless to resist." "Do you think we should continue to charge?"

In the rear, in the central army, the Chanyu looked at this scene with a pale face.

At the beginning, Maodun led a hundred thousand cavalrymen to bypass the mountains and raid the Qin border. He suppressed the famous Qin general Meng Tian in a corner of the Great Wall, making it impossible for him to move.

At that time, Maodun was full of pride!
The Qin Dynasty and the famous generals throughout the ages are nothing more than this!

As long as the Hun army passes by, everything will turn to dust!
Until he encountered the three thousand Qin cavalry led by the First Emperor.

Sixty-five thousand against three thousand, both were cavalry, and there was no significant difference in strength between the two sides. What's more, they were the world-famous Xiongnu cavalry, whose riding and archery skills were the best in the world.

Maodun was extremely cautious and sent out two waves of 6,000 Xiongnu cavalry to test the bottom line of the Snow Dragon Cavalry. Although the price was heavy, it also made Maodun determined to destroy this Qin cavalry!
He knew very well that only the 3,000 cavalrymen in front of him could stop him from setting foot in Xianyang and destroying the Qin Dynasty.

Even when he ambushed them, more than 20,000 of his own charging cavalry were wiped out in one fell swoop, but Maodun gritted his teeth and endured it.

In order to destroy this Qin army, he was willing to pay the price of tens of thousands of Hun cavalry!
After all, Yanmen Pass behind the Great Wall was still in the hands of the Huns. He could mobilize 100,000 cavalry from the grassland to replenish the loss of tens of thousands of cavalry.

However, if this powerful Qin cavalry of only 3,000 people is not eliminated, it will be a huge hidden danger.

Therefore, even though he lost 20,000 to 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry, Maodun gritted his teeth and issued an order to destroy this cavalry at all costs.

What made Maodun happy was that this Qin cavalry, which had outstanding killing ability on the battlefield, finally made a fatal mistake after being slaughtered for a day!

They rushed into the mountains and forests, putting themselves in a desperate situation!
Maodun was overjoyed and decided to set fire to the mountain.

Although the victory was unfair, in the fierce confrontation between the two armies, there was no time to care about the superiority of the means, and only the winner could look down on the crowd.

Then, a scene that left him dumbfounded and unforgettable appeared before his eyes.

The 300-meter and 500-meter boundaries were like the scythe wielded by the god of death, cold and merciless.

No matter how the Hun cavalry charged, once they crossed that line, they would be hit head-on by arrows.

Precise, fierce and unexpected!
Five thousand, five thousand, and another five thousand!
A total of 15,000 cavalrymen fell on this vast land right under his gaze.

At this moment, he still couldn't be sure whether the Qin army in the forest still had arrows available.

At this moment, Maodun suddenly woke up from his dream.

He understood that charging again would be a desperate gamble and he could not afford to lose.

Of the 65,000 troops that originally set out early in the morning, only about 15,000 remain.

In any era and on any battlefield, if an army suffered such heavy losses, its morale would have collapsed long ago.

However, this Hun army still maintained its combat effectiveness due to the presence of Maodun.

Such an army can be called the most powerful force in the world!

Unfortunately, they first encountered the Great Snow Dragon Riders, and then ran into the Divine Arrow Camp lurking in the mountains.

Both are the strongest types of troops in the world, and have a fatal restraint on grassland cavalry!
Whether you are surprised, unbelievable, or think that the other party has extraordinary physical strength and archery skills, the facts are clear.

Maodun knew that he was defeated!

Originally thought that invading Daqin was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but unexpectedly encountered this invincible army!

The difference in military strength between the two sides was twenty times. From morning to night, the Huns had lost nearly 50,000 people, but the 3,000-strong army had not suffered any casualties!

this is too scary!

Maodun knew very well that after today, he would never have the chance to set foot on the land of Qin again!

Those three thousand cavalrymen in silver armor will become his lifelong nightmare!
