Chapter 859

He hadn't received any relevant news.

Now seeing this scene, the whole person was dumbfounded.

It wasn't until the guards around him urged him that he came back to his senses.

"Everyone, immediately leave here with me!"

"We can't hold on; staying here is just waiting for death!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Touman was not stupid, but quite smart.

Just judging from the range of the Qin bows and crossbows and the speed of shooting,

by the time the Qin cavalry rushed up on their horses, they would probably be wiped out.

There was no way; they couldn't hit the other party, but every round of arrows from the other party could shoot and kill a portion of them.

The Xiongnu generals were also very helpless when they heard the Chanyu say this.

These were all facts; they couldn't refute them.

If they stayed here without moving, they would definitely become targets.

If they charged over, the losses would probably be very large.

The only remaining path was to run away.

"Quick, quick, quick, listen to the Chanyu, run quickly!"

The Xiongnu generals all became nervous.

Watching people around them constantly being hit by arrows and falling off their horses,

they didn't know when it would be their turn.

These Qin bows and crossbows were very strong; they saw with their own eyes that people around them were directly shot through their bodies.

And the Qin cavalry were still very far from them, at least seven or eight hundred meters away.

If they didn't run now, when would they?

"Giddyup!"

"Giddyup!"

The Xiongnu cavalry turned their horses and left the original spot one after another.

They went in the opposite direction of the Qin cavalry.

After a few rounds of arrows, the Xiongnu cavalry lost at least two thousand people.

This was a huge number of casualties.

Touman looked at the countless dead and injured cavalrymen, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

If he had known this, he shouldn't have let the three thousand cavalrymen go to pursue that one thousand Qin cavalry.

If their forty thousand-plus cavalrymen gathered together, these few Qin cavalry probably wouldn't dare to come up and provoke them.

Now, a large number of people were lured away, which gave them the opportunity.

"Immediately send people back to mobilize the great army to come and support!"

"Twenty thousand Qin cavalry wanting to run wild on the vast grasslands is undoubtedly a pipe dream!"

Touman was furious and shouted loudly.

The generals around also made choices one after another; some rushed back toward their main camp.

More people were shot and killed by arrows and fell to the ground.

"Deputy General Han, they are not stupid; they actually ran."

"I thought they would come up to meet us."

"If they came up to meet us, the casualties wouldn't be small; if they run, they are moving targets."

"Whether they run or stay, by the time we pursue them, they will probably be shot and killed."

Shinu and the other generals laughed out loud one after another.

If the Xiongnu cavalry charged over, there would still be a chance to fight.

But since everyone ran, their backs were exposed.

Waiting for them would be ruthless arrows.

As time passed, death was a matter of time.

Unless the previous Xiongnu cavalry returned to support.

Otherwise, the Xiongnu leader was doomed.

"It's better that they ran."

"If they didn't run, we would also have losses when we met later."

"Now it's just right; we can freely display our mounted archery skills."

"As long as there are enough arrows, just shoot to your heart's content!"

Han Xin shot the arrow in his hand and laughed out loud.

Their arrows were specially made, all with iron arrowheads.

They didn't bring many; each of the two thousand cavalry archers had about fifty arrows.

But this wasn't few; it was enough to deal with a mere ten thousand Xiongnu cavalry.

The Xiongnu cavalry ran slowly; the distance between the two sides was about four or five hundred meters before they started to run.

But at this distance, for the super divine crossbows, it was already very close.

Xiongnu cavalry were constantly being shot and killed off their horses.

Even the generals around Touman had people shot and killed.

"Deputy General Han, the previous Xiongnu cavalry turned back."

Shinu put down the telescope in his hand and shouted.

"They returned?"

"Then shoot and kill at full speed, and advance at full speed!"

Han Xin became ruthless; at this time, it was of no use for those Xiongnu cavalry to turn back.

Soon they could capture the Xiongnu leader.

Han Xin's order was quickly passed down.

The arrows shot out by the super divine crossbows were faster.

The two thousand archers were all trained for a long time.

This shooting speed was not difficult for them.

Anyway, the target was so big, and there was no need to aim much.

Just avoid that Xiongnu leader.

After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

There was about a distance of fifty zhang left.

At this distance, the archers' shooting skills gradually became accurate.

More Xiongnu cavalry were shot and killed.

And the horses around that Xiongnu leader were also constantly shot and killed.

Because they were afraid of accidentally shooting the Xiongnu leader, the archers deliberately avoided that position.

"Resolve the battle quickly!"

"Find a way to shoot and kill the Xiongnu leader's mount."

Shinu shouted, and at the same time, he also accelerated his horse and rushed up.

The super divine crossbow in his hand was also aimed at that Xiongnu leader's mount.

But after shooting several arrows in a row, they were all just a little bit off.

This was something that couldn't be helped; shooting arrows while riding a horse was originally bumpy and non-stop.

Without excellent mounted archery skills, wanting to aim at one thing, the difficulty was too great.

"Shinu, you are still a bit green; let me do it."

Han Xin laughed on the side.

He raised the super divine crossbow in his hand, aimed for a while, and then shot it out.

The result was no surprise; it missed. ===== CHAPTER 861 =====
