Chapter 1257: Well-matched, a vast battlefield

"Touman Chanyu, is our intelligence wrong?"

"Didn't they say there were only 300,000 Qin troops?"

"Looking at this scale now, there must be a million, right?"

"It seems they have no fewer people than us!!!"

"This number is approaching our own."

"No wonder they dared to come out of the city; it turns out reinforcements have arrived."

"What a miscalculation, it's a pity!"

"If only we could have attacked earlier."

"But now it's too late to say anything."

The Xiongnu generals discussed it in a hubbub.

Seeing so many Great Qin troops appear,

they only felt an inexplicable pressure.

If they knew this wasn't Great Qin's full strength, what would they think?

This was only half of Great Qin's military strength.

The other half was in Nanyue.

And not all the soldiers at the Great Wall had come out of the city.

Another 100,000 soldiers were arranged to guard inside the Great Wall.

"The combat power of the Xiongnu cavalry is the best in the world!"

"So what if the numbers are equal? Let's kill them until not a single piece of armor remains!"

Although Prince Modu was surprised why the Qin reinforcements had arrived so quickly,

he was not afraid at all.

In his understanding, only Great Qin's bows and crossbows were powerful.

As for cavalry combat power, the Xiongnu cavalry was still more powerful.

After all, they had grown up on horseback since they were young.

Their familiarity with horses was far superior to the Qin people.

This was the advantage of their Xiongnu cavalry.

Prince Modu was quite confident in the strength of his army.

It was just that Prince Modu was temporarily unaware of Great Qin's three-piece set for warhorses.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been so confident in saying these words.

With the blessing of the three-piece set for warhorses, both riding skills and archery skills were greatly increased.

Those advantages of the Xiongnu cavalry also appeared even weaker.

If the two sides' cavalry met, who would win and who would lose was truly an unknown.

Although the Xiongnu generals were somewhat worried,

they also believed they would definitely win.

They were a nomadic people, and it was normal for their combat power to be stronger than the Qin army's.

Seeing that the Touman Chanyu had said so, they also put away the little worry in their hearts.

"Form up, prepare to welcome the Qin army!"

Prince Modu drew a sword from his body and shouted.

The Xiongnu generals also mobilized quickly.

Soon, they had set up their formation.

The Xiongnu army's formation was also relatively simple.

There were no fancy or useless formations.

Their formation was for the cavalry to charge and kill, with the infantry following closely behind.

Soon—

The two armies' camps approached slowly.

When they were about five hundred meters apart,

they stopped simultaneously.

In the Great Qin camp.

A group of generals gathered together.

"Grand General, the Xiongnu have already entered our range."

"Should we consider harvesting some people first?"

"At least we should disrupt their charging formation."

"Yes, Grand General, they have quite a few cavalrymen too."

"The cavalry is actually more than half as many as ours."

"It looks like there are at least 500,000 cavalrymen."

"If we don't disrupt them first, we'll be in danger if they charge over like this."

The commandants made suggestions one after another to disrupt the Xiongnu formation first.

In this way, it wouldn't be so easy for the Xiongnu cavalry to launch a charge.

At this distance, the Xiongnu cavalry's weapons and equipment were not good enough to attack them.

This was their opportunity.

At such a long distance, the Xiongnu could only be beaten.

General Meng Tian waved his hand and immediately rejected this proposal.

Although this proposal was good, it was not suitable.

Because there were not so many arrows to waste.

If there were enough arrows, they wouldn't even need to fight; they could just shoot arrows directly.

If they were going to fight, they should thoroughly scare them.

They could just disrupt the Xiongnu formation after they charged up.

Now that they were so far apart, doing this would just be alerting the enemy.

"Wait for them to get closer before disrupting their formation."

"By then, they won't have time to reorganize their formation."

"Now that they are so far apart, even if we disrupt them now, they will reorganize their formation."

General Meng Tian's words left the generals speechless for a long time.

They hadn't thought of this point.

As expected of the Grand General, his thinking was different from theirs.

In this way, they could definitely strike a good blow to the Xiongnu's arrogance.

Let's see how they could be arrogant later.

Perhaps one engagement would cause the Xiongnu army to suffer devastating losses.

"Gr... Grand General, His Highness is here!"

Just then—

A soldier rushed to General Meng Tian in a hurry to report this news.

As soon as this news came out,

not only General Meng Tian, but all the generals were stunned.

Everyone's expression was not good.

This news shocked them immensely.

A million-level battlefield, and His Highness appeared; wasn't this nonsense?

Previously, they had agreed with His Highness, and His Highness had also said he would just watch.
