But what Zhao Xi never expected was that those Rong army foot soldiers gave him a nightmare response.

When the cavalry of the Chu army rushed towards the battle formation of the infantry of the Rong army, they saw that the soldiers of the Kunpeng army did not collectively shoot arrows in the face of the cavalry impact like ordinary foot soldiers, but only continuously shot bows and arrows at the forefront of the cavalry of the Chu army.

As a result of this, there were always people in the front of the Chu cavalry who were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, and the more cavalry behind them could no longer maintain a high-speed charging posture.

And when Zhao Xi's brigade finally braved the rain of arrows to rush in front of the Rong army's infantry formation, they were even more surprised to see that those infantry soldiers did not show the slightest fear they should have, and the frequent rout scenes.

What they saw was a hedgehog-like wall of iron, and a dense rain of arrows behind the wall.

Horses, which are very spiritual animals, naturally do not crash headlong when they see the iron wall, and they instinctively gallop around the Rong army's foot soldiers. But this kind of galloping, which exposed the whole body, gave the archers in the Rong army's infantry formation a perfect angle of fire.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command fell off their horses one by one, Zhao Xi was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry to withdraw in a large circle towards Huangyin. Because at this time, he saw that the cavalry of the Rong army, which was following behind his cavalry, had already chased closer.

I saw that those Rong cavalry did not raise their weapons to kill the cavalry of the Chu State, but took out their short bows one after another, outflanked them from the outside of the galloping cavalry of the Chu army, and shot deadly arrows at the Chu army sandwiched in the middle with the foot soldiers on the inside of the Chu cavalry.

Although he saw that his cavalry was actually wrapped in dumplings, Zhao Xi, who was so frightened that his face turned pale, still found the final solution:

That is to let all the soldiers flee towards Huangyin at the same time, as close as possible to the Rong cavalry beside them, to engage in close combat with the enemy.

But after his order was conveyed, it only played half the role.

Therefore, as soon as the horse was flat, they saw the cavalry of the Chu army wearing blood-red battle clothes scattered all over the mountains and wilderness, fleeing in the direction of Huangyin that they each thought they had.

But there was no Chu army next to the Rong cavalry who lined up in a horizontal line.

"General Zhao, the Rong army is fleeing north with our soldiers, but Huangyin City is due east.

They clearly want to drag us to death and destroy us one by one.

General Zhao, think of a way. ”

Zhao Xi, who was riding on a war horse with a gloomy face, listened to the general beside him finish speaking, and shouted: "What are you panicking about, this Huangyin City doesn't have only one gate, will the Rong people send people to surround the other three gates?"

Raise the banner for me, and let the brethren gather together. ”

The generals who heard Zhao Xi's scolding reacted and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to raise the Vermilion Bird Battle Flag.

Seeing that the battle flag appeared on the battlefield again, those Chu cavalry who were scurrying around had a target to follow, so they stopped fleeing in chaos and gradually re-twisted into a unit.

Although he successfully gathered the soldiers and horses together, Zhao Xi understood that it was absolutely impossible for the soldiers to turn back and fight again, although he clearly saw that there were still many lone Chu troops being killed by the Rong cavalry one by one.

Zhao Xi's heart was already in chaos, and he had only one thought at this moment: he didn't know how many men and horses he had lost during the battle and when he was pursued by the Rong army, so the only correct thing to do at this time was to return to Huangyin City as soon as possible.

"General Zhao, the left greater sent someone to pick up the general back to the city, and at present, the left greater is leading the army to line up outside the west gate of Huangyin City, and also asked General Zhao to quickly lead the soldiers and horses to the west gate."

On the way to escape, Zhao Xi saw more than a dozen Qin soldiers on war horses coming to him with Xuanwu flags and bringing him a message from Zhu Lihua.

Although Zhao Xi's heart warmed when he heard this, he suddenly remembered that he had seen the tragic situation of the Qin army in the city with his own eyes before, and his heart suddenly became faintly uneasy.

"Those Qin troops are still difficult to protect themselves now, how can they rescue their own defeated army in the wild? Didn't he lead the wolf into the house and set himself on fire? ”

Under the complicated emotions of being very ashamed and full of self-blame, Zhao Xi said in a grateful and loud voice to the person who was dressed as a general: "Your army has been fighting for a long time today, and the soldiers are tired. So I think we'd better take a detour through the north gate and enter Huangyin City.

If the disaster is led to the greater person on the left, Zhao Mouke will be guilty and deserve death. ”

The herald general, who was riding on a horse and running with Zhao Xi, heard that Zhao Xi wanted to enter the city from the north gate, and immediately said loudly: "General Zhao, now that the north gate is unguarded, if your army enters the city from the north gate, it is very likely that the Rong army will follow in."

So the general doesn't have to be stubborn, where the left is greater, where the general goes, the general is still better to go, and please lead the people to go with Mao as soon as possible.

As for the Rong army behind them, as long as they dare to attack our big array, then we will definitely let them have no return. ”

After the general surnamed Mao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Xi's reply, so he took the lead and turned to the direction of Huangyin West Gate and galloped away.

Zhao Xi looked at the figure of the departing man in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a little awkward about the way he had just spoken to him.

What does it mean to "let them have no return", this surnamed Mao knew that his 20,000-strong army had just experienced a fiasco and was now being chased and killed by the Rong army, but he left in a hurry with such a harsh sentence.

Could it be that just by relying on the thousands of Qin army foot soldiers who had just escaped from death in front of him, he could defeat more than 10,000 Rong army cavalry?
