Compared with the Macedonian cavalry who stood up and wore armor, the armor of the Qin cavalry here was much lighter.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Qin army was not equipped with slender spears like the Macedonian cavalry, and it was obvious that their role was not originally used to impact the opponent's formation, but more to contain and harass!

So when those Macedonian cavalry turned their horses and rushed towards their side, the cavalry of the Qin army also immediately turned around and began to retreat!

At this time, the cavalry of the Qin army showed their superb riding skills.

These black-clad Qin cavalry fled on horseback as they turned around and shot with the light crossbows in their hands!

This is a small bow that is lighter than the previous powerful crossbow used by infantry. Therefore, there is no need to sit on the ground and push your feet out of the way for winding.

This light crossbow can be wound with one hand, so it can be easily shot even on horseback!

However, because it is a light crossbow, the power is much smaller than that of the previous strong crossbow, but even so, it is not difficult for the cavalry of the Qin army, which has rich combat experience.

They did not aim their crossbows at the Macedonian cavalrymen in heavy armor, but at their horses under their crotches!

Compared with cavalry, the protection of war horses is obviously much weaker. And once the arrow stabs the war horses, even if it is not fatal, it is enough to make those war horses lose control and get out of the fight!

The tactics of these Qin cavalry proved to be very effective. Just a few rounds of arrows passed, about one-fifth of the Macedonian cavalry of the Combined Cavalry Regiment, which had originally numbered about 4,000 men, fell from their horses and became embarrassed.

"Damn!"

Faced with such a situation, the commander of the 1st Macedonian United Phalanx Cavalry Regiment cursed very dissatisfied, but he was helpless.

Although they possessed heavier armor and spears capable of tearing through infantry phalanxes, the heavy equipment also made them somewhat inmobile.

Therefore, no matter how they chased after them, they would always not be able to catch up with the Qin cavalry in front of them, and not only that, but their own troops were also suffering more and more losses in the chase with the Qin cavalry!

"It won't work like this any longer......" Seeing the gradual reduction of his own troops, the commander of the 1st Combined Macedonian Phalanx Cavalry Regiment quickly realized this.

"These cavalry of the Qin army from the east are clearly trying to induce us to deviate from the original route, if we continue to chase like this, there will be absolutely no way to complete the task assigned to us by His Majesty......"

"The enemy is much more powerful than we thought...... However, it is impossible to stop our Macedonian army with such a small trick! Victory will be ours in the end! ”

So the commander of the cavalry regiment immediately gave a new order.

"Leave a thousand cavalry to continue chasing the Qin cavalry! The others come with me, ready to storm the Qin army's main formation! ”

"Yes!"

The Macedonian cavalry immediately split into two groups.

One of them, about a thousand cavalry, continued to pursue the Qin cavalry, driving the Qin cavalry away from the battlefield as much as possible. On the other side is the remaining cavalry of about 2,000 or so, which is to continue the established plan, detour behind the Qin army, and prepare to launch a deadly sneak attack!

Soon, the war began to become more intense.

Because not only the Macedonian cavalry was approaching step by step, but also the Qin army phalanx and the first Macedonian united phalanx led by Alexander began to enter the point of close engagement!

The first is the collision of spearmen on both sides!

The spearmen on both sides are armed with spears about six to seven meters long, and at this distance, the two sides can be said to be in a situation of equal strength, completely in a state of narrow road where the brave wins!

Very often, the spearmen on both sides fell at the same time. Those spears that were six or seven meters long pierced through the bodies of one person after another, and the soldiers fell one after another, and then disappeared into the night sky as dust.

However, in terms of numbers, it was still the Macedonian side that had an absolute advantage, so when the spearmen in the front fell, the spearmen in the rear immediately replenished, and from this point of view, the strength of the Qin army was extremely stretched, and when the number of spearmen was insufficient, soldiers with halberds could only continue to fill the vacancy.

By this time, the situation on both sides began to tilt in favor of Alexander's Macedonian corps.

"Ah Zheng! Oh no, those Macedonian cavalry units are about to make a detour back to our rear! At this time, Qin Zhongyu also discovered the movement of the Macedonian cavalry.

"What? Didn't my cavalry hold them back? Ying Zheng asked lightly.

"It didn't work out...... It seems that the other side has divided into two groups, one of which continues to fight with our cavalry, and the other part is preparing to sneak up on our rear! Qin Zhongyu shouted loudly again.

With Qin Zhongyu's investigation, it can be said that Yingzheng is almost familiar with the movements of the Macedonian side.

And if according to the general situation, the first Macedonian united phalanx with numerical superiority has been fully pressed, and the rear is about to be attacked by the opponent's cavalry troops, so Qin Zhongyu believes that Yingzheng at this time has almost no chance of winning, and should choose to retreat.

"Ah Zheng, let's withdraw first! We'll ...... when Moxi comes back," Qin Zhongyu proposed.

"Withdraw? Not the time yet? If we don't bite them hard now, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to escape! ”

However, Ying Zheng rejected Qin Zhongyu's request.

"However, there will be no way back soon...... Qin Zhongyu said anxiously again.

Although Qin Zhongyu didn't care much about his own safety, Qin Zhongyu was still unwilling to let Yingzheng take this risk. Especially when the other side has absolute strength.

However, Ying Zheng still shook his head.

"Zhong Yu, I believe you......" Ying Zheng said.

"Uh...... Okay......" Qin Zhongyu simply jumped down from a height.

Anyway, now it has entered a state of hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers on both sides have been in a group, and the battle has become a state of hard-fought strength. In this case, it no longer makes much sense to continue to observe the movement of enemy troops in this way. Therefore, Qin Zhongyu also drew his ancestral dragon sword and prepared to join the battle.

"With me, you Macedonians don't want to go any further!"

However, just as Qin Zhongyu was yelling and was about to rush forward, suddenly, Qin Zhongyu found that the tide of battle had reversed again!

The Macedonian soldiers began to fall in large numbers, and what was even more surprising was that many of these soldiers, who showed no signs of physical injuries, suddenly fell to the ground. They twisted in pain, their eyes protruding as if they were being squeezed, and their orifices were bleeding!
