Chapter 856: Encirclement and interception, terrifying arrows
On the vast grasslands.
A special chase was being staged.
It was one thousand cavalrymen leading the run in front.
Nine thousand cavalrymen were chasing in the middle, and behind them were twenty thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen in pursuit.
The distance between the three parties was about the same, about two li apart, and the arrows couldn't reach.
It just depended on whose warhorse ran faster, and whoever had the advantage.
On the large earthen slope.
Shinu and the others saw the Xiongnu cavalry being dispersed and asked to fight one after another.
About forty thousand cavalrymen were dispersed by half; this was their opportunity.
"Don't be in a hurry; see the situation first."
"If we go out too early, those cavalrymen will rush back later."
"Wait until they go further away."
"We can let the people below prepare to strike at any time."
Han Xin was still waiting, waiting for the best opportunity.
Now, there were still about twenty thousand cavalrymen around that Xiongnu leader; it was definitely not the best opportunity.
Shinu and the others heard this and could only suppress the commotion in their hearts.
Time passed by the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Touman and the others looked a bit speechless because their cavalry couldn't catch up with the Qin cavalry.
It wasn't a problem with the horses; it was just that they started a bit late, so they couldn't catch up.
And those Qin cavalry ran fast and were almost out of sight.
The Xiongnu cavalry behind could only eat dust.
"Chanyu, the direction they are running is the northwest direction."
"They are still in our line of sight; we can outflank them!"
"Give me ten thousand cavalrymen, and I can block them!"
"That will be their doomsday; please allow it, Chanyu!"
A general looked straight ahead, and only at the end, the Qin cavalry were on their left front.
As long as they sent some more cavalry over, they could form a pincer attack from left and right.
This opportunity was too rare; if they missed it, it would be impossible to catch them.
After all, on this vast and boundless grassland, unless they were surrounded or the horses were fast enough,
it was impossible to block those galloping warhorses.
Touman observed the situation around him; it didn't look like there was an ambush.
He also really wanted to eat up those Qin cavalry.
"I'll give you ten thousand cavalrymen to carry out a pincer attack from front and back."
"If you can't even do this, bring your head to see me!"
Touman sent out another ten thousand cavalrymen, leaving ten thousand cavalrymen to protect himself.
He couldn't send everyone out; that way, he would be in danger.
He also didn't want to go with the army; after all, hunting just now was tiring enough.
If he followed to pursue the Qin cavalry, he couldn't take it; it was better to let the people below go.
And as a generation of Chanyu, being able to command the people below was the real skill.
Charging and fighting was never something a Chanyu should consider.
"Yes!"
"Guarantee to annihilate them!"
A general took the order; the opportunity to establish merit had come.
He picked ten thousand cavalrymen and rushed out in one direction.
The position of this direction happened to be able to form a pincer attack from front and back with the previous Xiongnu cavalry.
Touman looked at the ten thousand cavalrymen who left; now there were ten thousand cavalrymen left by his side.
"Be vigilant and prevent anyone from launching a sneak attack."
Touman did not relax his vigilance but issued a warning order.
The remaining Xiongnu cavalry were a bit indifferent.
This was their territory; how could there be an ambush?
But the Chanyu had ordered it, so they could only do as told.
Ten thousand cavalrymen moved quickly and protected Touman Chanyu in the middle.
The Xiongnu's actions were all seen clearly by Han Xin on the hillside.
Another ten thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen were gone; now the timing was mature.
Ten thousand against ten thousand, the Qin cavalry's weapons were excellent, and the chances of winning were high.
"The time has come."
"Order it down; capture the leader alive."
"Once the leader is captured, retreat immediately."
Han Xin saw that the time had come and quickly arranged it.
Shinu and the others also acted quickly.
The ten thousand Qin cavalry who had been waiting for a long time received the order,
and rushed toward the direction of the Xiongnu.
After the ten thousand cavalrymen rushed out of the low valley, they were quickly discovered by the Xiongnu.
After all, with such a large formation, it was impossible to hide it.
After Touman saw this scene, his heart trembled immediately. ===== CHAPTER 858 =====
