Chapter 23

The little prince's Xirong cavalry after two shock failures, although effectively consumed the bows and crossbows of the Qin army's array, but their own losses were even more serious, the five hundred cavalry when they came can now stand up, and there are only about 100 people with swords on the horse, which is a loss that he has never had since he led the army, but he doesn't want to give up just like that, because his big enemy is in front of him, and in his opinion, only five hundred infantry, in front of his iron cavalry, how can there be a chance of survival, so he has to wait, Wait for your other troops to arrive. But what he didn't know was that his hopes had long been dashed.

But Jing Ran and Li You at this end are actually a little afraid of the little prince's troops, because they also know that there are a total of 1,000 Xirong cavalry, but there are only 500 people fighting with them here at present, which means that the Xirong people may be left behind, and they are waiting for their new force to stop the offensive now.

"Prince, it doesn't feel right to be humble, according to the pre-agreed time, the other army should have arrived a long time ago, why is there no news yet? Humble and afraid ......"

In the Xirong cavalry formation, a team was saying to the little prince, now not only this team is very worried about the whereabouts of the other team, but even the little prince himself feels a little wrong.

"Send ten men to find it at once! No matter what the situation, report it! ”

The little prince made a decision, the only thing he could count on now was his new army, and after receiving the order, he personally led people to look for it, while the little prince stared at the Qin army on the opposite side.

"Looks like they're waiting." Li You and Jing Ran had already found out.

"Order the troops to advance slowly, send a signal to the king of Chu, let his cavalry detour the enemy's flank, strike at a distance, and slow down the enemy's pace."

Li You gave an order, on the battlefield, waiting is death, not to mention that in the case of his own advantage, waiting for the enemy's fresh army to come is the stupidest way. Moreover, they are all infantrymen, and if the enemy's new force arrives, they will not even have a chance to escape, so the best way now is to break through this cavalry army, so that their new forces will not be able to join forces when they come.

Jing Ran knew Li You's intentions, and after receiving the signal, he immediately organized these cavalry under his command to make auxiliary preparations.

"Our mission is simple, long-range strikes, assist General Li You's infantry attack, and then be in charge of the pursuit when the enemy is fleeing!"

"Roar!"

Although there were only about 30 people, the momentum of the cavalry army was not inferior to that of any strong army.

"Attack!"

With the simultaneous orders of Li You and Jing Ran, the advance speed of the Qin army's infantry phalanx increased significantly, and the cavalry army led by Jing Ran quickly detoured to the flank of the Xirong cavalry and cooperated with Li You's infantry array to encircle the Xirong cavalry on both sides.

"These kids are going to eat us right away!" At this time, the little prince also sensed the intentions of Li You and Jing Ran on the other side, in such a vast place, whoever retreats first will expose his back to the enemy, and the result is that his back will be stabbed fiercely, and then let the enemy's horse hooves step on his head!

"If the order goes down, we will also fight, and waiting like this is waiting for death." The little prince knew that the enemy's infantry wanted his cavalry to attack, not to mention how embarrassing it would be for him to reach Xirong, but in the current situation, the enemy on the opposite side wanted to eat himself before his new army arrived, and then retreat calmly.

He couldn't wait any longer, it was the reality he faced.

"We are men in the world of immortality, and we can't let these two-legged sheep look down on us! Listen to my commands, impact! ”

The little prince's order was given, after which he took the lead in riding and carrying a sword, and the rest of the Xijon cavalry, when they saw that their commander was like this, each joined the battle with the determination to die.

"Sure enough, it is a strong army in the world!" Li You and Jing Ran sighed sincerely.

"Array up to meet the enemy!"

Li You gave the order, and all the Qin troops roared, lined up their military formations, and waited for the attack of the Xirong cavalry.

But at this time. The situation changed, and the Xirong cavalry turned their horses and rushed directly towards Jing Ran's cavalry army.

The little prince mastered the slow movement of the infantry formation, and Jing Ran's cavalry was inferior to his own inferiority.

"Hehe, I can't break your infantry formation, can't I beat these thirty or so cavalry?! On horseback, our Xijon warriors will always be the first in the world! ”

It's not that he's talking big, but that's the actual situation, even if King Zhaoxiang, the powerful lord of Qin back then, also suffered under the Xirong cavalry, there is no way to use the eldest princess of Qin to make peace, which is a shame for Qin, but for Xirong it is glorious, in their opinion, the cavalry in Zhongzhou are all dolls.

"Not good, these Xijon people have discovered our weakness, and they have gone to the cavalry!" Li You was also shocked, it was obvious that Jing Ran's cavalry was far less than the Xirong cavalry, even if one was exchanged for one, it would definitely be eaten in the end, without the cavalry flank guard, his infantry array would be bitten and dragged down by the enemy, and the most important thing was that in case Jing Ran was defeated and died, how should he explain to King Qin and his cousin.

"Signal the cavalry immediately and tell them to retreat!"

But after Jing Ran saw Li You's signal here, it was too late.

"Brothers, slay the enemy with me!" Jing Ran roared, then took the saber and rushed towards the Xirong cavalry with his horse.

Jing Ran knew that if he simply played cavalry with Xirong, it would be tantamount to death, and now only his thirty or so people directly attacked the Chinese army of the little prince of Xirong, disrupted the enemy's deployment in the shortest possible time, and then cooperated with Li You's infantry to turn defeat into victory.

Thinking of this, Jing Ran immediately led thirty people to avoid the frontal impact of the Xirong cavalry, and rushed directly to the place where the little prince was located from the side.

"Kill!"

Jing Ran took the lead and killed the little prince with a knife, although he grew up in the court, he was the grandson of Emperor Mingguang of Great Chu, and spent a period of time in the military camp with his grandfather when he was a child, and for such a long time, he was no longer a puppet who had just been controlled by Jing Yu, and when facing life and death, people's potential would be infinitely magnified.

Li You watched the rampant in the Xirong cavalry formation, more surprised than the Xirong cavalry, he originally thought that Jing Ran was a royal disciple who was better than the hands of the palace woman, but he didn't expect to be so brave on the battlefield.

"The king of Chu has the style of a grandfather."

Li You sincerely admired.

But admiration is admiration, the most important thing now is to cooperate with Jing Ran's cavalry, if he is really caught in the battle array, the consequences will be very serious.

"Sword and shield hand, attack!"

Saying that, the Qin army's camp was divided into two, and the sword and shield hands quickly rushed towards the cavalry battle array.

On the side of the little prince of Xirong, he originally thought that it would be an extremely simple battle, with the kind of cavalry in Zhongzhou, the warriors of Xirong only needed one impact to defeat him, but he didn't expect that Jing Ran did not hedge against him head-on, but came directly towards him.

Now there are only thirty people around him, and Jing Ran here is only about a dozen people due to the division of troops, of course the little prince is not afraid.

"Fight with me! Cut off the heads of enemy generals, reward thousands of cattle and sheep, and 100 slaves! ”

The little prince was also red-eyed, and directly threw out such a reward, and when the Xirong cavalry heard such a high reward, they all rushed to Jing Ran with the little prince.

"Life and death are here, if I can't even get over this difficulty, I don't want to be able to destroy Jingyu and dominate Dachu!"

Jing Ran thought in his heart that he must win.

With a "snort", his knife tore through the body of a Xirong cavalryman, only to see that the cavalryman's arm was thrown directly into the sky by inertia, and Jing Ran's chest armor was also cut off, and the blood flowed out directly, and the Xirong cavalry who was cut off by him sat on the horse for a while before falling off the horse, and was directly trampled by the galloping war horse's hooves.

Jing Ran was not much better here, the armor on his chest was cut, blood stained his body red, and his right hand was numb from being slashed by the arm of the Xirong cavalryman. The hand holding the knife was already shaking.

"Is this a battle?" Jing Ran thought.

Cavalry hedging is a matter of an instant, if you succeed, it is the death of the enemy, if you miss the horse and fall off the horse, there will basically be no second chance to get on the horse.

But this time, Jing Ran won.

The war horse snorted and shook its huge head, not at all thrilling as Jing Ran.

The little prince looked at Jing Ran and scolded: "A bunch of rice buckets, more than thirty people can't beat more than a dozen people, and they have been beheaded five or six in battle!" ”

It turned out that at the same time as Jing Ran was fighting with the enemy, the other cavalry corps also started the same battle, due to the skillful technology, and the armor was obviously superior to the Xirong cavalry, the casualties on his side were actually much less, and only three people fell off their horses and died.

Jing Ran gasped and stared at the Xirong cavalry opposite, his eyes shining like a wolf, and when the little prince and his eyes met, they saw the depth and ruthlessness like the night.

At this time, Li You's sword and shield army had also rushed into the Xirong cavalry array, all of them were well-armed, armed with broadswords, and killed and slashed in the cavalry formation that had lost its mobility, and the situation was reversed immediately.

"Rush!"

Jing Ran watched the drama test get better and better, and once again led his cavalry to rush towards the little prince.

"Are we Xirong going to lose to the Zhongzhou people in the cavalry!"

He didn't believe it, he wanted to prove that the Xijon cavalry was the best iron cavalry in the world.

"Kill!"

Once again, the two cavalry collided head-on.

With a "bang", many sergeants fell off their horses, including Xirong cavalry and Jingran's cavalry.

"The enemy will dare to fight me!"

Jing Ran yelled and rushed directly towards the little prince, who was already stunned at this time.

"This can't be, this can't be, the cavalry in Zhongzhou won't be so strong!"

When he heard Jing Ran's roar and looked at Jing Ran, whose whole body was red with blood, baring his teeth and rushing towards him with a knife, his psychological defense line was completely broken.

"Ghosts! Ghost! Hell! ”

He actually turned his horse's head and fled backwards frantically, and the Xirong cavalry saw that their main general had become like this, where could they fight again, and they all retreated.

But at this time, Jing Ran was like a vicious wolf who saw blood, desperately chasing the little prince, the little prince was physically and mentally exhausted, and he was cowardly, so he was actually cut off the horse by Jing Ran, who chased him.

There was silence on the battlefield, and the Xirong cavalry didn't expect that the brave and invincible little prince in the grassland would be cut off his horse so easily, while the Qin army and the Chu army cavalry guard didn't expect that this king, who was still powerless in the Jingyu military camp a few days ago, was now like a killing god.

"Roar!"

All the cavalry corps shouted at the same time, win, they won.

And Li You was even more surprised, he didn't expect Jing Ran to defeat the little prince's cavalry with more than 30 people, although most of the cavalry was pinned down by his own sword and shield army, but Jing Ran still won the victory in the head-on confrontation with the little prince.

"I hope I don't meet him on the battlefield in the future." Li You thought to himself.

And just when Jing Ran beheaded the little prince off his horse, the hope that the little prince had in his heart also arrived, but only brought the news that his new force was completely annihilated.

Jing Ran dismounted, wanting to see what this enemy chief who had chased him all the way looked like, but as soon as he arrived, the little prince muttered: "Don't kill me, I will ask my father Khan to give you gold and slave ......"

When Li You and the others arrived, they also shook their heads and smiled bitterly when they learned about it.

This battle was the first battle after Jing Ran escaped from the state of Chu, he personally killed two people, captured the little prince of the enemy chief Xirong, thirty-two people, killed 12 people, wounded 5 people, captured 36 enemy cavalry and 50 horses.

And the enemy chief who was captured alive by him begging for mercy was the first warrior of the steppe, the youngest son of Xijon Khan.

"My brother-in-law is really brave." Li You quipped.

"General Li, don't laugh at me." Jing Ran had already bandaged his wounds, and his right hand was also holding a wooden plank, and his hand was dislocated.

As for the issue of the little prince, Jing Ran discussed with Li You, and Li You brought him back to Yongdu to negotiate with Xirong to solve the crisis in the west of Qin, and the remaining Xirong cavalry captured were directly killed by Li You on the way.

Afterwards, Jing Ran took the five people around him who could still walk on the road, and as for the injured ones, they were handed over to Li You to take back to Qin for treatment, and then they would talk about it later, and when Xiao Yue knew what Jing Ran did on the battlefield, she directly scolded angrily, which made Li You's head bigger.

"Brothers, let's go to Shangdang County!"

Jing Ran said in high spirits on the horse: "From now on, we will really integrate into this era of war!" ”

After saying that, he took the lead and rode away.
