What reassured Wang Ling was that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was not vegetarian, and in just a short time, the soldiers under his command completed the mobilization in time before the action of the Zhao army's cavalry.

Compared with Wang Ling's nervous face, Li Mu watched all this from afar, the expression on his face was quite relaxed, and he was even able to chat leisurely with Xu Li, the deputy general next to him.

"General Xu Li, do you think this round of impact can work?"

Xu Li thought for a while and shook his head slowly: "It's difficult." ”

In fact, what Xu Li didn't say was that he felt that this was wasting the lives of the Zhao cavalry.

Li Mu saw Xu Li's thoughts, laughed at this, and was noncommittal.

While the two were talking, the Zhao State light cavalry from the front had already entered the range of the Qin army.

Wang Ling gave the order almost without any hesitation: "Shoot!" ”

Under Wang Ling's order, the crossbowmen of the Qin army, who had already prepared, immediately pressed the hanging knife (trigger) without hesitation.

"Whoosh!" Dense crossbow bolts were immediately fired, covering the hundreds of Zhao cavalry who rushed to the front.

Many cavalry of the Zhao army were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and for a time there was a lot of smoke and dust, and the rolling sound of horses and the screams of people resounded in the smoke and dust, which also made Wang Ling, who was watching all this, feel a little relieved.

It seems that the border cavalry army of this Zhao State does not seem to be too remarkable.

But the next moment, Wang Ling's pupils suddenly locked slightly: "Huh? ”

In the smoke and dust in the sky, one after another Zhao cavalry rushed out of it, fearlessly continuing to rush towards the Qin army's chariot array.

Wang Ling suddenly found that the results of this round of salvo were much smaller than expected.

The cavalry of the Zhao army were very scattered when they charged, and the distance between the horses was very wide, which made the crossbow arrows of the Qin army unable to fully exert their lethality.

Wang Ling didn't panic, and ordered again very calmly: "Hurry up and prepare for the second round of shooting!" ”

Although the cavalry was very mobile, Wang Ling knew in his heart that as long as his chariot array was still there, these Zhao light cavalry wearing simple leather armor would be helpless against their own defense line.

After two rounds of crossbow salvos, the Zhao cavalry in front of them finally approached within the range of the bow and arrow.

By this time, Wang Ling could even clearly see the faces of the Hu cavalry who rushed to the front, and these Hu cavalry of the Zhao State were all short in stature and had legs, which looked somewhat ridiculous compared to the tall Qin soldiers.

But Wang Lingke couldn't laugh at all, and the whole person sat on the saddle skillfully bent his bow and arrows, shooting towards the Qin army's position.

Hundreds of bows and arrows gathered into a rain of arrows and landed in the Qin army's position, and many Qin soldiers could not dodge the arrows, and the screams rang out.

Immediately after, two sharp voices pierced the air and pierced Wang Ling's eardrums.

Wang Ling frowned, looked fixedly, and found that the sound was actually coming from two arrows.

"It's—Mingdi!"

Ming Di was originally created by the northern nomads, and was later used on a large scale by the Zhao cavalry, and became a prop for the Zhao cavalry to transmit orders and guide the direction in battle.

Wang Ling's face changed slightly.

After these two chirps sounded, the cavalry of the Zhao State, which had been rushing like a tide, suddenly divided into two branches from the center, the left and right, and rushed diagonally towards the left and right flanks of the Qin army.

In the process of changing direction, the cavalry of the Zhao army was still bending their bows and arrows, shooting towards the position of the Qin army.

The horses' hooves trampled on the earth, and the billowing smoke and dust filled the air, as if there were bursts of sandstorms blowing in front of the Qin army's position, greatly obstructing the Qin army's vision.

But after all, the Qin army had a defensive advantage, and under the premise that the Zhao cavalry could not rush into battle, the Qin army's strong crossbow arrows played a sufficient role, and wave after wave of arrows were shot from behind the car formation, so that the casualties of the Zhao cavalry continued to increase.

One after another military information reached the ears of Wang Ling.

"General, the Zhao army on the left and right flanks has gone around to the rear of our army!"

"General, this division of cavalry has circled the left and right flanks!"

At this moment, a dense sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the smoke and dust that were about to dissipate in front of the Qin army suddenly became dense again.

Another cavalry of the Zhao army came out of the smoke and dust and came towards the frontal position of the Qin army.

Wang Ling took a deep breath and suddenly had a headache.

"How can this cavalry of the Zhao army be so endless?"

This time, the cavalry of the Zhao army that appeared in front of the Qin army had at least two thousand people!

What made Wang Ling even more unhappy was that the speed of Zhao Guoren was much faster than his own, so even if every time he appeared in front of Wang Ling, it was only a small number of one thousand or two thousand, but Wang Ling was helpless at all, let alone able to take the initiative.

What had just happened was almost unchanged in front of the Qin army's formation.

A moment later, another sound sounded, and this time the two thousand Zhao cavalry that appeared in front of the Qin army divided their forces again, bypassing the front of the Qin army and heading towards the left and right sides.

……

"The cavalry of the Zhao State is back, back!" A somewhat panicked shout reached Wang Ling's ears.

Wang Ling looked back and found that the two Zhao army thousand horsemen who had bypassed the Qin army's position at the beginning had reappeared on the two wings of the Qin army after turning in a big circle!

If you look down from the sky, you will find that these Zhao cavalry are like a few fierce poisonous snakes, constantly circling around the Qin army that is forming a formation to protect itself, releasing arrows while circling, but they will definitely not launch a charge.

Every quarter of an hour, a Zhao cavalry slowly withdrew from the battlefield, and then a new Zhao cavalry joined the battle group.

As the minutes ticked by, the sun was already setting in the west, and it seemed that at most half an hour was about to set in the western horizon.

On all sides of the Qin army's position, there was the sound of horses' hooves emitted by the cavalry of the Zhao army when they rode their horses, and there were billowing smoke and dust everywhere.

Standing on top of the high chariot and looking in all directions, Wang Di could not see anything except the countless smoke and dust and the cavalry of the Zhao army looming in the smoke, and the bows and arrows that kept shooting out of the smoke and dust!

Wang Ling frowned, although the battle for half a day did not cause too many losses to the Qin army, but this feeling that there were enemies in all directions, and it was not clear that the enemy army was arranged.

What made Wang Ling even more worried was that because these Zhao cavalry had been coming and going at high speed in front of the Qin army's formation but did not launch a frontal attack, and their queue formation was far less dense than when the infantry charged, and there was smoke and dust in the sky as a cover, so the Qin army's arrows were actually quite limited in the killing of these Zhao cavalry, and they were not as effective against the infantry.

The chariots carried by Wang Ling in this battle were limited, and there was a lack of adequate protection on three sides except for the frontal defense line, so he could only rely on the infantry to hold shields at the front as cover.

If it continues to be consumed like this, when all the arrows are exhausted, then this army of Wang Ling will probably become the turtle in the urn of the cavalry of the Zhao State!

A chill rose in Wang Ling's heart.

But immediately Wang Ling became calm again, because Wang Ling suddenly remembered that he had reinforcements!

Although it is said that Wang Ling did not carry too many arrows with his army, as long as he saved a little, it should be no problem to last for a day or two.

As long as the reinforcements arrive, then you will be able to cooperate with the outside and break the Zhao army!

At this time, another sound of horses' hooves came from afar from the smoke and dust, and it was obvious that the Zhao army commander on the opposite side had dispatched another cavalry.

For some reason, when Wang Ling heard the sound of horses' hooves, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The sound of horses' hooves seemed too heavy and too dense.

Wang Ling turned his gaze from side to side, and finally discovered the source of the sound.

Not from the front of the Qin army, but from the flank of the Qin army.

Wang Ling seemed to remember something, and his face changed.

"Do you mean ......?"

Just as this thought came to Wang Ling's mind, a cavalry that Wang Ling had never seen before rushed out of the billowing smoke and dust and appeared in Wang Ling's sight.
