The biggest difference between the nomadic army and the Central Plains army is that they do not have much logistics supplies. The nomadic cavalry carried cheese and dried beef and mutton with them. They did not need food supplements for several days, or they used wars to support the war and plundered food along the way.

For the Central Plains army, it is definitely a taboo to bypass the city and not attack, which means that the army's logistics supplies are easily cut off by the army in the city, or they will be attacked from both sides. However, for nomadic cavalry without logistics supplies, it does not matter if the city does not attack.

When the Qiang and Di coalition forces attacked Huixian, they gave up their attack on Huixian, bypassed Huixian, and continued to fight toward Jincheng County in the southeast.

At the same time when the Qiang and Di coalition forces attacked Huixian, ten thousand Han army pioneers, led by generals Liu Hu and Wang Ping, had arrived seventy miles south of Huixian.

At this time, the scouts sent by Wu Lan met the Han army heading north, and they brought important information about the Wan Qiang people attacking Hui County.

Wang Ping was a little worried. They only had five thousand crossbow flying troops and five thousand heavy armored infantry. Can they resist the attack of the Wan Qiang people?

Wang Ping urged the horse to find Liu Hu and whispered to him: "We have few soldiers and horses, and there are tens of thousands of enemy troops. I'm afraid the battle will be unfavorable. Should we notify Governor Zhao and ask him to lead reinforcements north."

Liu Hu laughed, "General Wang is good to be cautious, but being too cautious means being afraid of the enemy. You don't need your flying army to fight. Just my heavy armored infantry will kill him without leaving any armor."

Wang Ping blushed and said quickly: "I am not afraid of the enemy, but I just know myself but not the enemy. I must send troops carefully."

Liu Hu stopped laughing and sneered: "In order to maintain the heavy armored infantry, the Han army spent a lot of money and food. We will definitely not let the heavy armored infantry be used as vases. If General Wang does not fight, I will not force it, but the heavy armored infantry will only advance but not retreat. Today, the Qiang people will taste the taste of killing the sabre."

Seeing that Liu Hu had made up his mind, Wang Ping stopped persuading him and said loudly: "Since General Hu is going to fight with the Qiang people, I will never retreat. Our Wudang Flying Army and the General Heavy Armor Infantry fought side by side."

Liu Hu patted his shoulder, "This is a good man. He must have the will to kill the enemy. Let's see how we deal with the Western Rong army."

The Han army was finally hit by the Qiang and Di coalition forces that were coming from Hui County about ten miles away. To be precise, the Han army was waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

The heavy armored infantry needs at least one quarter of an hour to prepare for armor. If they encounter it hastily, the heavy armored infantry will have no preparation time. Therefore, when the scouts found that the enemy was still twenty miles away, the Han army stopped advancing and the heavy armored infantry carried out armored combat preparations.

The place where they are no longer full of gravel to the west of Hui County. Although it is still an uninhabited wilderness, the land is relatively flat, mostly dominated by soil. Not far away is a large forest, with warships on both sides of the official road, and the two armies fight to the death.

Half an hour later, the sound of hooves in the distance was like rolling thunder, the earth was trembling, and dust covered the sky and the sun. Nearly tens of thousands of Qiang and Di coalition forces finally arrived.

Liu Hu looked at the enemy cavalry gradually slowing down in the distance and shouted loudly: "Line in line to fight"

The Han army was ready, and Xun formed a large formation in the wilderness of Kuandali, and the Han army's thousand cavalry were deployed in front to form a bow and crossbow formation.

The five thousand troops led by Wang Ping were all barbarians, known as Wudang Feijun. They were good at shooting archery and had outstanding archery skills. They were not only the most elite mountain army, but also after strict riding training, they became the first crossbow cavalry of the Han army.

Today, at the forefront, the Thousand Crossbow Cavalry were arranged on the horse. They were equipped with the sharp horn crossbows of the Han army, and the range of killing can reach 10 or 20 steps.

There were only eight thousand Han troops on the battlefield, and thousands of cavalry crossbow soldiers were lined up at the forefront. They were also elite troops. They could not only act as crossbow soldiers, but also act as crossbow cavalry, and even be changed to spear cavalry.

At this time, Liu Hu led his heavy armored infantry to have arranged the formation. Five thousand heavy armored infantry were located behind the crossbowmen and divided into five military formations. The soldiers had finished wearing armor. They held the sabers in their hands and were waiting for the orders tightly.

When the Thousand Crossbow Cavalry finished shooting archery, they would quickly transform into spear cavalry and deployed on the side of the heavy armored cavalry. Their mission was to protect and cooperate with the heavy armored infantry from the side.

The other two thousand archers were deployed in the woods two miles away. After the heavy armored infantry defeated the enemy formation, they would cover up and kill. This formation of the Han army had already cooperated with each other for many times, repeatedly defeating the Cao army and the Xiongnu army, and had rich practical experience.

The two armies were confronting each other two miles apart. Nangong Jing saw that the Han army had arranged its formations, with crossbow soldiers in front and infantry in the middle. It seemed that there was an army ambushing in the forest. There were not many people on the battlefield. He couldn't help but sneer. This formation was too ordinary and had no meaning to the Qiang cavalry with an absolute advantage in numbers.

At this time, Xiu Tuhun stepped forward and whispered: "The five thousand infantry in the middle seem to be the heavy armored infantry mentioned by His Highness Xiliang. It is very sharp. Generals should not underestimate the enemy."

"This is not a question of underestimating the enemy or not. No matter how sharp the army is, we must push the entire line."

Nangong Jing shouted loudly: "Prepare to attack"

With a command, the loud drums in the Qiang and Di coalition army sounded, and thousands of cavalrymen stepped forward and raised their spears. They were generally very capable in riding skills, holding spears in one hand, holding shields in the other, and controlling horses with both legs, as if a man and horse were united.

The Wanqiang Di cavalry raised their spears suddenly, and the spears were thorny like a forest, and their momentum was powerful. At this time, Liu Hu also shouted loudly and "take out a knife"

Five thousand shiny sabers were swung out together, and powerful murderous aura came out.

Even Wang Ping, who was worried about knowing oneself but not his enemy, could not help but secretly exclaimed that it was a heavy armored infantry built by the Han army with all its might. It would take only 5,000 sabers to kill horses. If this heavy armored infantry was not an opponent of the Qiang people, it would be inconsistent with the law of nature.

With the heavy drum sound, the ten thousand Qiang cavalry located in the front army shouted in unison and suddenly moved. They were in a row, holding a spear in their right hand and a shield in their left hand. The horse hooves were galloping. The sound was huge, and they were blocked and killed the Han army two miles away with an unstoppable force.

Despite the battle, Liu Hu was still a little nervous. He felt the power of this Qiang Iron Cavalry, and his five thousand heavy armored infantry would have to bear the test.

But Liu Jing was not panicked at all. "The Crossbow Army is ready" he shouted loudly, staring at the approaching with sharp eyes.

The soldiers of Thousand Cavalry Crossbow raised their horned crossbows, and the cold arrow pointed the enemy cavalry that was surging like a tide. They were in a row and shot in sections. Before the enemy entered sixty steps, they would shoot nine thousand arrows in turn.

The Qiang cavalry was getting closer and closer, and rolling yellow dust rushed towards the Han soldiers. They finally rushed within 10 or 20 steps ahead.

"shoot"

A thousand crossbowmen in the front row shot first. They used two stone horn crossbows and one size crossbow arrow. Only a sound of crossbow machines was heard. A thousand crossbow arrows shot towards the Qiang cavalry one or twenty steps away like a storm. Only a scream and a neighing sound of war horses were heard. The war horses and several cavalry were shot overturned to the ground, and the Qiang cavalry was overturned.

The crossbowmen were quickly swaying and fast. He used armor-transparent arrows. The arrows were like elongated spindles, streamlined, made of good fine iron, and were extremely sharp and could shoot through any armor.

As the first row of thousands of people shot, another thousand armor-punched crossbow arrows in the second row shot towards the Qiang cavalry outside the steps like a black cloud. Then, the fourth row and the fifth row of arrows were covered in the sky, so dense that it was breathless.

The Qiang cavalry also felt the power of the Han army's arrow formation. They had already raised their shields, and heard a clicking sound. The shields were pierced by armor-piercing arrows and shattered one after another. The shields could not resist the powerful force of armor-piercing arrows. One thousand armor-piercing arrows caused huge losses to the enemy cavalry.

Neither the leather armor nor the wooden shield could withstand the powerful penetration power of the armored arrows. Several cavalrymen in the first row shot through the leather armor and screamed and fell off the horse. Many cavalrymen behind were tripped, and the Qiang Iron Cavalry suddenly had a chaotic chaos.

With the nine-wheeled arrow shot, the Qiang cavalry had lost nearly a thousand people. The cavalry were frightened, the team was chaotic, and morale was frustrated. At this time, the Qianbian Cavalry had quickly retreated to both sides, hung horn crossbows, took off their spears, turned into spear cavalry, and guarded on both sides of the heavy armored infantry.

The Qiang cavalry had already reached ten steps away. Although it was a little confused, it was still terrifying and unstoppable. Liu Hu sneered and shouted loudly: "Forge Formation" the five thousand heavy armored infantry changed into formations. They squatted down one after another, and the tip of the knife moved forward, and the handle of the knife touched the ground, forming a sea of ​​swords.

Thousands of Qiang cavalry finally arrived. Facing the extremely sharp sword forest, the cavalry in front of them screamed in horror.

With a loud "boom", the flesh and blood of the cavalry collided into the knife forest. Dust mixed with blood mist filled the sky, limbs flew across the air, and corpses of people and horses accumulated layer by layer in front of the knife forest.

The first shock wave of the most powerful cavalry finally disappeared. At this time, five thousand cavalry shouted loudly, formed a wall of humans, swung out the sabers together, and fought against the enemy's spears. The two armies fought fiercely.

The first 10,000 cavalry was to pave the way for the cavalry behind them. Although they suffered heavy losses, Nangong Jing did not take it seriously. He ordered: "The whole army will kill you and defeat the Han army."

As the horns sounded on all sides, nearly 20,000 Qiang and Di cavalry quickly gathered from all directions, and 20,000 Qiang and Di cavalry rushed towards the heavy armored infantry of the Han army like a scattered mountain and sea.

The inspiring war drums also sounded in the formation of Dongdong Dong Han Army. Five thousand heavy armored infantry advanced forward like a mountain. Two thousand spear cavalry protected the infantry front army on the left and right. Five thousand heavy armored infantry split into five large formations to attack the Qiang cavalry.

Five thousand heavy armored infantry attacked on the entire line, and the two sides fought in the wilderness. The Qiang cavalry was defeated by the sharp strangle of the opponent's heavy armored infantry, and the Qiang Di cavalry was killed and retreated step by step.

Nangong Jing was so anxious that he yelled, urging the Qiang cavalry to continue attacking, especially the thousands of Qiang cavalry surrounded by the Han army. They knew that only by rushing out could there be hope for life. The instinct of escape made them desperately. They raised their long swords, danced their spears, and rushed towards the Han army frantically, like a storm, but the heavy armored infantry remained like a mountain.

The Qiang general Masut took the lead. He waved his spear, roared, and stabbed the Han army leader. The Han army leader he faced was Liu Hu. Liu Hu shouted loudly and slashed the horse head head-on. The sword was fierce, and immediately slashed Masut who rushed to him and his horse into two halves. Blood splattered and internal organs flowed.

The heavy armored infantry swung their swords and advanced step by step. The sword light and blood were slashing or stabbing, and they were invincible. The Qiang cavalry had broken heads and left behind, and screams and wails resounded throughout the valley. Behind them and on both sides, the crossbows were arrows like locusts, causing them to suffer heavy casualties. The injured Qiang people knelt on the ground and begged hard, but they were still chopped into pieces by the heavy armored infantry lined up, blood flowing into rivers, and corpses were piled up. The entire battlefield became a slaughterhouse on earth.

From the bloody battle at noon to the afternoon, nearly half of the Wanqiang Di cavalry had been killed or injured. On the battlefield, incomplete corpses were piled up like mountains, and blood stained the earth red. The Qiang people were defeated, but the heavy armored infantry was not tired and became more and more brave as they fought. Seeing that the morale of the Qiang soldiers was gradually collapsed.

At this time, Wang Ping, who was ambushing in the woods, saw that the enemy was defeated, shouted: "Get out with me."

Two thousand cavalrymen suddenly came out, just like the last blow that defeated the camel. The Qiang cavalry was in chaos, and Duye troops collapsed first. Under the leadership of the chief, thousands of cavalry fled north.

"Great Chief"

A cavalry rushed to Nangong Jing's horse and shouted: "The Duye Army has retreated."

When Nangong Jing turned around, the Di people's capital and Ye troops had evacuated the battlefield, and at the same time attracted other tribes to withdraw their troops. He hated him and had to yell and "withdraw"

More than 15,000 cavalry morale collapsed and had no intention of fighting again. They turned their horses to flee the battlefield. The Han army chased after the ranks, killing the Qiang cavalry and overturned the horses, causing heavy casualties. They chased until Hui County before gradually stopping. At this time, the Han army on the head of Hui County saw that the Qiang army was defeated, and they couldn't help but cheer together.
