Jing Ran knew that his hope was coming, and the excitement in his heart was needless to say.

The Qin army behind him approached him with neat steps.

"I'm not late, brother-in-law."

Jing Ran looked at Li You and smiled, he was about to go to war, why is this guy so unserious.

"It's just the right time, General Lee."

As he spoke, he didn't dare to relax at all, because although the Xirong cavalry on the opposite side was about the same in number as his side, they were cavalry after all, and the cavalry had a greater advantage in fighting.

Li You seemed to see through Jing Ran's thoughts: "Don't worry, I don't have any other skills in Daqin, but this ability to break through riding with steps is rare in the world, and I will give you a review later." ”

Seeing him so careless, Jing Ran also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll see if your Qin State's Imperial Forest Army is as powerful as you say." ”

The two talked casually, as if they didn't care about the little prince opposite.

The little prince saw that the two people opposite him didn't seem to take him seriously, and he immediately became angry. "Order, all departments forward!"

As soon as the words fell, the Xirong cavalry slowly thought about Li You Jingran coming.

"The Guards are in formation!"

Li You also ordered: "The shield hand is in front, the archer is in the back, the spearman is in the back, and the phalanx is in line!" ”

"Roar!"

Jing Ran knew at a glance that the combat quality of this Qin army was quite good, and it would take shape in a short time, even in the Chu State, such a quality was a first-class strong army, and Li You could actually train a Gongzi soldier who guarded the imperial city like this, which was really impressive.

Seeing that the speed of Xirong's cavalry was getting faster and faster, Jing Ran's heart was also a little nervous, after all, this was the first time he was on the battlefield and the scene of the two armies facing each other, and he had personally experienced it.

"Archers! Get ready! ”

When the Xirong cavalry came within a hundred paces, Li You finally ordered the archers to attack.

"Put!"

"Xiu Xiu Xiu" only heard more than 300 feather arrows falling from the sky, shooting directly into the Xirong cavalry, a tight round of rapid fire, the Xirong cavalry has nearly 50 people thrown off their horses, and the cavalry who fell off the horse had only one result, that is, they were trampled to death by their comrades.

But the courage of the Xijon cavalry and the spirit of not fearing death. It is true that it does not only exist in books and in the mouths of ordinary people, although the Qin State has bow and crossbow armor in the world, after receiving such a dense bow and crossbow, the Xirong cavalry still arrived at a place three hundred steps away from Li You and Jing Ran's troops.

"These guys are quite enduring, changing formations, the pikemen stepped forward to withstand the impact, and the crossbowmen continued to shoot."

Li You gave the order casually, he knew that Xirong wanted to break through his infantry formation with such a small cavalry, which was indeed a bit reluctant.

Now that the Xirong cavalry is getting closer and closer to the infantry formation, Li You is also tense up, as long as his pikemen army withstands the first impact of this cavalry, he will win.

"Rise to the onslaught!"

All the pikemen clenched their spears in unison.

This pikeman is different from the previous Zhongzhou infantry, it is said that when the Qin people traveled to the West, they saw a small such force in the West, defeating three times their own cavalry impact, although there may be a suspicion of exaggeration, but such a tactic, after the transmission to the Qin State, when dealing with the barbaric impact of the Xirong cavalry, it is quite effective. The spears of this army are longer than the spears of the Zhongzhou soldiers, and they stick the end of the spear into the ground behind them to reduce the damage caused by the cavalry when they hedge, and you must know that horses are very intelligent animals, and they consciously avoid things that are harmful to them when they see them, and those long and pointed spears are such dangerous things.

Sure enough, when there were still ten steps away from the spear, all the horses in the first row took the initiative to the side, bypassing the spear, and the cavalry horses behind couldn't get around, and the sound of "bang" hit the spear, and for a while, the sound of the horse's bark, as well as the wounded sound of the Xijon cavalry and pikemen, were all mixed together, which made people feel creepy.

"Resist! The wounded soldiers retreated, and the back was filled! ”

The Qin State battle array was also full of the sound of the team's orders, this time, although the impact killed and injured more than 30 Xirong cavalry, but the injury rate on his side was not low, and many spear barrels were directly broken from the middle, completely losing their combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, after years of actual combat experience, Qin's spear battle array has summed up a lot of experience, and immediately such a problem was solved, and the opening that was reopened by the cavalry was also blocked.

"Crossbowmen, shoot freely!"

Li You gave the order, and at this time, all the crossbowmen who retreated to the center of the large array stepped forward and began to shoot at the Xirong cavalry that was wandering outside the large array.

After a while, nearly a hundred more people were knocked off their horses by such crossbow shots, and even the little prince himself was hit in the arm, but he was also mighty, and directly pulled out the crossbow arrows that were shot into his arms, along with his own blood and bones.

"Turn the horse's head!"

The little prince was in pain, knowing that it was not a way to go on like this, his cavalry would not be able to break down this infantry formation, and if they were wandering around the large array, they would all become live targets.

All the Xijon cavalry had long been unbearable for such a large formation, and when they heard their main general order to leave the large formation, they all obeyed the order.

Jing Ran was stunned, the infantry formation could be used like this, and the cavalry was like moths fighting fire in front of such a large array.

"Da Qin is really strong."

Jing Ran thought in his heart, and at this time Li You spoke:

"King Chu, I still have twenty cavalry in my hand, plus your people also have thirty, I can't lead it now, so I'll trouble first, you will take the cavalry to help us sweep the formation, but remember not to engage with Xirong's cavalry, just need a bow and crossbow to strike."

Unexpectedly, his blood was boiling for a long time, and when he heard Li You say this, he immediately came to his senses:

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to me."

After speaking, he turned his horse's head: "All cavalry, bring all bows and crossbows, and attack with me!" ”

"Roar!"

The little prince withdrew from the infantry formation in shock, and he looked at his troops, but it was only a round of shock, and half of his men were wounded, and there were brothers lying on the ground, who might never wake up.

"How many more do we have?" The little prince asked.

"Back to the prince, we still have less than three hundred warriors who can get on the horse."

The little prince frowned, he didn't expect the casualties to be so serious.

"When will our other unit come?"

The little prince was waiting, waiting for another cavalry to split up.

"Prince, it's been more than three hours now, and at their speed, it should be another half an hour."

"Half an Hour ......"

The little prince thought about it for a while, although he suffered a loss in front of the Qin army's infantry array, he was not without gains, and he discovered the Achilles' heel of the Qin army's infantry array.

In fact, such a large array, his advantages and disadvantages are easy to see, the advantage is that in the face of such a large array, the enemy will receive a triple blow: first a long-range strike with a bow and crossbow, then a close-range strike by a spearman, and finally a close-range shot by a crossbowman, and if the large array is broken, there will be a blow from a sword and shield handpuppet. Such a large array, without a certain amount of combat experience, many people can only reach the third round of strikes, but by this time, their own strength is almost the same.

Such a large array is simply a cavalry nemesis. But his shortcomings are very obvious, that is, he has to rely on the perfect coordination of the constantly firing bow and crossbow and pike, and the mobility of this large array is too poor, as long as his cavalry circles around the large formation, and then cooperates with the long-range strike of the cavalry, sooner or later he will be consumed to death.

Thinking of this, the little prince's heart was also much more relaxed. But he overlooked one point, that is, the armor of the Qin army was stronger than that of Xirong, and many of Xirong's arrows were made of bone, which could not penetrate the strong armor of the Qin army.

Despite this, the little prince discovered the shortcomings of this army after all, and he didn't care much about these shortcomings.

His hope now is that his other army is his own, as long as the two troops converge, two or three rounds of impact, the enemy's infantry formation will definitely break, in that case, the infantry without formation in front of the cavalry will be the cattle and sheep of their Xirong sword corporal.

"Ready, we're coming for a round."

The little prince ordered, he wanted to exhaust the Qin army's bows and crossbows as much as possible now, as long as there were no bows and crossbows, this large array would lose its most powerful support and become a dead array.

The Xirong cavalry is worthy of being one of the strongest armies in the world, and it can effectively launch an attack in the case of nearly half of the casualties.

"The Xijon cavalry is quite strong."

Li You said, because he saw the Xirong cavalry on the opposite side assembling again, and there was a trace of admiration in his heart.

"The whole army is ready!"

Li You ordered.

"Roar!"

The morale of the Qin army was high, and they were not afraid of these strong Xirong cavalry on the opposite side.

"Cavalry bows and crossbows are ready to guard the big array."

Jing Ran, who was on the right side of the large array, also ordered.

The war horse snored and made an excited sound from its nose.

Now all they have to do is to follow the change of the order flag in the large array and go to support.

At this time, the Xirong cavalry was ready for the second attack, although the first attack failed, but their fighting spirit was stronger, which surprised all the Qin and Chu troops, such a force, if properly commanded, equipped with excellent armor, bows and crossbows, the entire Zhongzhou, will be shrouded in the shadow of their iron hooves.

"Roar! Roar! ”

The Xijon cavalry charged for the second time, and like last time, they actually received the baptism of long-range strikes from the bow and crossbow, but this time their casualties were significantly smaller than the last time, and this time they used their superb cavalry skills to dodge left and right, skillfully avoiding the vast majority of the bows and crossbows.

But the little prince was not happy about this, because to break this big formation, the most important thing is to bite off the pikemen at the front, which is the main thing.

Like last time, the Xirong cavalry once again collided with the wall without exception, unable to break the pike, at this time, the flag in the formation changed, Jingran's cavalry also attacked, but this cavalry did not give the Xirong people a chance to meet in short arms, they also relied on strong bows and crossbows to carry out long-range strikes on the Xirong cavalry, the little prince's side has not escaped the blow of the infantry bow and crossbow, the cavalry bow and crossbow over there did not hesitate to hit himself with the bow and crossbow, this time, he really knew that it hurt.

"Retreat!"

But Li You and Jing Ran didn't give him time to evacuate calmly like the last time, while the infantry phalanx moved slowly, Jing Ran's cavalry was still shooting Xirong cavalry continuously, and after a while, the three hundred Xirong cavalry who stormed, there were only more than a hundred, and the rest were either shot on the spot, or they were lying on the ground now to meet their death.

"Prince! Withdraw! ”

The Xirong cavalry had collapsed, five hundred people, only a hundred people had been fought so far, and one-fifth of the brothers remained here, this was a one-sided massacre, and Li You's infantry had only more than fifty dead and wounded.

In this case, even if another 500-strong army arrives, the situation of the battle will not change much, because the period on his side has already been broken. And the little prince of Xirong still wanted to wait for his hope, but what he didn't know was that another Xirong cavalry also thought the same, they pursued all the way to the east, and their luck was very bad, and they directly ran into the 100,000 new army led by Zhao Yi, and the leading general was also a member of the Li family, the same excellent general Li Si.

They were in worse condition than the little prince, with five hundred cavalry, and 30,000 men, who were wiped out as powder directly in the first round of battle. Of the five hundred men, only three escaped and wanted to report to the little prince.

And the little prince, they will soon receive their "hope".
