The dull drum sound sounded in the maple leaf forest, and the sound of the Ming Di flew into the air with a sharp whistle, and in the maple leaf forest, a group of Qin soldiers had spears in their hands, and some held swords and shields, and walked out in a neat line, on the slope full of greenery, lined up in a neat phalanx.

Almost as soon as the ambush army in the maple leaf forest showed its form, another Qin soldier appeared at one end of the dark cloud chess, and they sealed the left passage of the Han army, and on the farther right, where the Han army had just passed Guò, more Qin soldiers appeared.

Faced with three enemies and one with water, 20,000 Donghu cavalry were in a desperate situation. Looking at the Qin soldiers who were still in good shape and the phalanx that was slowly pressing, even if it was high and far, it changed color a little.

"It looks like this battle is really a bit of a start!" He muttered.

Mu Gulu was the first to attack, and he attacked the Qin army on the left. Gao Che brandished a scimitar and shouted to lead the troops straight to the Maple Leaf Forest, the two of them each led 5,000 cavalry, while Agu Huaien brought another 5,000 cavalry as a response, and around Gao Yuan, there were another 5,000 cavalry, which was the last reserve.

20,000 against 50,000, but 20,000 cavalry were trapped in a small enclosed environment, a battlefield with a radius of less than ten miles, which was really small for the 70,000 or 80,000 troops of the warring sides, especially for cavalry.

The Han army needed to maintain the corresponding space for movement during the war, and the purpose of the Qin army was to squeeze the range of movement of the Han cavalry as much as possible, and when the cavalry was squeezed into a certain area, there would no longer be much advantage over the infantry.

For the cavalry of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division that came at a gallop, the only response of the Qin army could only be to erect spears and pedal crossbows at the same time, and for the cavalry's charge, the most accurate way should first be to use a large number of bed crossbows for the first round of long-range strikes, and use foot crossbows in the middle range, and those who rushed through these two rounds of death attacks would encounter their spears, but this time, the Qin army did not have bed crossbows.

Because Li Xin first had to lead his army to Jishi City, he turned halfway and rushed to the Dark Cloud Banner with a rapid marching attitude, in order to buy enough time, it was impossible for the Qin army to bring such a bulky weapon as a bed crossbow.

Two hundred steps straight, the cavalry of the Han army had already raised their arms and opened their crossbows, a shout, the buzzing sound of crossbow arrows sounded endlessly, and they directly rushed to the foot crossbowmen behind the Qin army, and the screams sounded again and again, and the difference in range between the two sides was full of fifty steps, but the distance of these fifty steps was enough to determine the effect of the long-range strikes of the two sides.

A round of arms and crossbows were shot, and the war horse was already close to dozens of paces, at this time the Qin army's foot crossbow finally began to fight back, but it could be a little sparse, just under the targeted attack of the Han army, the casualties were heavy. The gap between the two sides in the military industry is vividly displayed.

The sparse pedal crossbow for the Han cavalry, the lethality is really limited, these cavalry will arm crossbow hanging next to the saddle, from the back of the longbow, for them, this is the most accustomed thing they use, the sound of collapse sounded, some of the Donghu cavalry sat on the horse, some even stood on the horse pedals, and shot with bows again and again.

The war horse moved forward, getting closer and closer to the opponent's spear formation, only ten steps apart, the Qin army in the first row had already clenched the spear in his hand, ready to stab it out, and then when he died with the enemy, the Donghu cavalry suddenly turned around, almost brushing the tip of the spear stabbed by the Qin army, just a little distance, but the spear fell in the air.

The cavalry that swept by was still releasing arrows, in order to shoot more arrows in the shortest possible time, these Donghu cavalry did not draw the bow to the fullest, only half a bow shot, but because the distance was too close, the preparation of the Donghu riders was excellent, these arrows were actually running towards the opponent's face, one arrow, even if it did not die, but also made the opponent lose combat effectiveness in a short time.

The five thousand cavalry carried by Mu Gulu were all outlaws who were killed from the white mountains and black waters, and almost none of the people who could survive in those places were weak. And the Qin army they faced was the weakest of the three.

In Li Xin's estimation, when Gao Yuan found Zhongfu, the biggest possibility was to immediately turn back the way he came, so on the right side of Wuyun Qi, he concentrated 20,000 elite troops to intercept, and the second possibility was that Gao Yuan launched an attack on himself, and captured the thief first, and the least feasible was to attack to the left, because in that direction, because of the relationship between the Siyang River turning there, it was a narrow area, even if he wanted to break through, it was by no means a good place, so in that direction, It is precisely where the Qin army's strength is weakest.

It is true that the Han army only sent 5,000 cavalry in that direction, a quarter of the strength, but the combat effectiveness of these 5,000 cavalry was the strongest among the Donghu cavalry.

In an instant, there was chaos in the Qin army on the left, and when Mu Gulu led the team back in a circle, in front of them, the Qin army had fallen a large area, and the originally neat spear forest had already appeared scattered at this time.

"Kill!" With a loud roar, he drew his scimitar, and the horse rushed straight into the Qin army array, the spear forest in front was gone, and the sword and shield soldiers in the rear were slightly flustered, where were these experienced guys willing to let go of such an opportunity, and the horse went straight in.

Li Xin was a little surprised, because the Donghu cavalry who fell into his ambush didn't seem to be a little flustered at all, but immediately responded as if he had been prepared, and what shocked Li Xin even more was that the other party had no intention of retreating at all, which made the heavy troops he arranged on the right side like a punch with all his strength, and actually hit the empty space, how uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

The 20,000 infantry on the right side are five miles away from the central battlefield, this distance is set by Li Xin to calculate the speed of the withdrawal of the Donghu cavalry and the speed of the Qin army's formation, but now, it makes Li Xin feel like he is cocooned and self-bound, the distance of five miles is a moment for the cavalry, but for the heavily armed and armored infantry, it is a long distance. In the middle of the battlefield, there are 5,000 cavalry who have not moved, but with Li Xin's experience, he knows that the other party must be aiming at his cavalry, once his 20,000 heavy infantry is out of formation, regardless of the rush here, the other party will definitely attack immediately, that is disastrous, the only thing that makes Li Xin feel comforted, the general Yingzhuo he sent in that direction did not mess up because of the current situation, still maintained a strict formation, and slowly pressed towards this side.

The battle situation on the left side surprised Li Xin, his own side took over the battle at the beginning of the year, and it was unexpectedly defeated, if the left side was broken by the Han army, no matter how narrow the area was, it was enough for the Han army to get out.

"Jin Rong, bring 5,000 troops, quickly reinforce the left flank, be sure to block it for me, and wait for Yingzhuo to enter the battlefield, it is the moment of the decisive battle!" Li Xin shouted loudly.

"Obey!" Jin Rong glanced at the Han cavalry who was attacking from under the hillside, and answered loudly.

Compared with the momentum of Mu Gulu, Gao Che attacked Li Xin's main formation outside the maple forest, but he hit his head on the hard bones, attacking wave after wave, but wave after wave of defeat and retreating, but the Qin army on the mountain, pressing down little by little, the tall cavalry was so oppressed that they kept retreating.

"Speed up, speed up!" Tang Yibiao was anxious, although Wu Kai hit thousands of carriages for him in the shortest possible time, and the 20,000 soldiers who poured out of the nest climbed on top of the carriages, rushing all the way to the direction of the Dark Cloud Banner, but for him who was seventy or eighty miles away from the Dark Cloud Banner, if he wanted to get there, it would take at least half a day's effort, if the time for Tang He to rush back, then the king would have to fight Li Xin's 50,000 army alone in the Dark Cloud Banner for a day. If it was on the spacious grassland, Tang Yibiao didn't need any heart at all, but the current situation was that Wang Shang took the initiative to jump into the trap of the dark cloud flag, and in Wu Kai's county guard's mansion, Tang Yibiao immediately gasped after seeing the topographic map of the dark cloud flag. The cavalry is stuck here, surrounded by a large number of infantry, that is, it is stuck in a dead place.

"Hurry up, you don't need to cherish the horsepower, use the whip, let them run hard, if you can't run, you can run with your feet, we have to rush to the dark cloud banner as fast as possible!" Riding on the horse, Tang Yibiao yelled after running forward.

The 20,000 foot soldiers had long since lost their formation, climbing on top of thousands of carriages, the wheels rolling over the green meadows, and rushing in the direction of the dark clouds.

And in the other direction, Helanxiong was covered in blood, looking at the general banner of Liu Dacheng, which was only a few hundred meters away from him, and if he took Liu Dacheng, the war here would be over.

"Who will go with me to capture the flag?" Helanxiong roared loudly.

"I'm coming!" A crisp voice sounded behind him, and when He Lanxiong looked back, it turned out to be the female general Gu Li, and beside him, it was the inseparable Toppler. There were more than a dozen short spears hanging next to Toppler's saddle, these things were the harvest of He Weiyuan's defeat of Li Xin's ironclad cavalry, and Topple, who lost one arm, had a deep attainment in throwing javelins, these javelins for the ironclad cavalry of the Qin army were very sharp and durable, and the center of gravity was stable when throwing, and Toppler fished one or twenty at once. There are still twelve of them on the body at the moment.

"And me!" Helan Jie also rushed over.

"Okay, kill Liu Dacheng, take his general banner, and completely defeat them, so we can go to Ulan Banner." He Lanxiong burst out laughing.

"I'll clear the way!" Topler grabbed the horse's belly and hurried forward, his arm already grasping a javelin, and with a roar, he threw it forward. An oncoming Qin soldier screamed, and was pierced through his body by this javelin and nailed to the ground.
