Chapter 157: The Fall of the Nine Plains Elite Rider (Part II)

At this time, I was barely able to see something clearly.

When the palace guards separated, a bad premonition suddenly flashed in the heart of the Nine Plains Commander.

In such a pursuit battle, keeping a certain distance can reduce the damage, but the distance is too large and will not have the effect of attacking.

Therefore, seeing the enemy disperse without warning, the Nine Plains Commander suddenly had the idea of retreating in his heart.

However, when he was still hesitating, several cavalrymen who were not far away from him suddenly fell without warning.

Not only that, but soon the neighing of war horses also sounded behind him.

Before he could give the order, Jiuyuan commanded his own war horse and suddenly neighed and fell forward.

Although the distance between the Nine Plains Elite Cavalry is not small, the cavalry of nearly two thousand or so, even if the density is small, is extremely dangerous.

What's more, the person in front of him suddenly fell down inexplicably, and the person behind him naturally reflexively tried to avoid it.

As a result, the entire cavalry plastic surgery was chaotic.

Unfortunately, even if this commander's riding skills were amazing, when the war horse fell, he turned over and barely landed steadily, but the cavalry behind him didn't have time to react and directly loaded it.

Horses under the run, that is what human power can resist. The Nine Plains Commander was knocked to the ground, and before he could stand up, another fast horse ran over him.

Jiuyuan Jingqi, who was already flustered, was even more at a loss after losing his commander.

"Kill!"

After the Jiuyuan elite riders barely settled down, the shouting of killing suddenly sounded not far away.

"Not good! The people of Chu are here! ”

"What should I do?"

"Let's get out first!"

"No! If we go back like this, we won't be able to escape the military law of the major general! ”

"The law does not blame the people, the commanders are dead, and the major general will not embarrass us!"

Suddenly, the Nine Plains Elite Riders began to argue. Some people are hesitant, some people are angry, in short, there is chaos.

The place where the Jiuyuan elite cavalry and the coalition army were ambushed was actually only one or two miles away. It's just that the coalition forces are hiding among the trees, and they are not found by the sky.

"Retreat the way you came! Retreat the way you came! ”

Among the Nine Plains Elite Riders, several people with higher positions were screaming desperately, but unfortunately, the voice was really a little small.

Due to the relationship between the thistles on the ground, the foot soldiers did not directly choose to confront the Jiuyuan Elite Cavalry, but instead outflanked the two wings.

Before the foot soldiers could complete the outflanking of the Jiuyuan Jingcai, the sound of horses' hooves came from the direction from which the Han army came.

It was the 600 Changxiu army that was parallel to the palace guards before, and before, the soldiers were divided into three ways and just a false shot.

When they estimated that the Jiuyuan Jingqi had been ambushed, they immediately killed them.

Of course, with the six hundred Changxiu Army, there is definitely no way to confront the Jiuyuan Jingqi head-on.

Therefore, when they were still about a mile away from the Jiuyuan Jingqi, the Changxiu army also began to throw thistles in a big way.

Looking at what the six hundred Changxiu Army was throwing from afar, as long as anyone could guess it, that thing was probably the key to catching them off guard.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

The sound of breaking the air sounded, although the complete encirclement of the Nine Plains Elite Cavalry had not yet been formed, but the killing had already begun.

"Rush! Run! ”

In the panic, a centurion of the Nine Plains Elite Cavalry, shouting, led his subordinates, and rushed towards the gap in the left flank that had not yet been completely surrounded.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Don't walk away with a person! ”

On the coalition side, the same roared. It's a pity that what they are holding in their hands is not the riding crossbow of the Chu State, but just an ordinary longbow.

After only one shot, the cavalry had already rushed in front of them.

A hundred cavalry, even if the speed is not fast, the power is not something that can be stopped by a few dozen foot soldiers.

After leaving a few corpses behind, the hundred and ten cavalry finally broke through.

The centurion's actions gave the Jiuyuan Elite Rider, who was still in chaos, a name for the road.

Scarcely without command, a kind of cavalry similarly began to pour towards the gap.

"Stop them!"

Far away, Sun Qian shouted, and the riding crossbow in his hand went towards the Jiuyuan Jing cavalry who had already broken out of the encirclement.

The one hundred and ten Jiuyuan elite horsemen had just rushed out of the encirclement, and before they could recover their senses, they were greeted by a rain of arrows.

Caught off guard, more than 20 good people suddenly fell.

"Kill!"

The two hundred palace guards who charged forward were like silver deaths, and after just one confrontation, there were less than twenty of the more than sixty Nine Plains Elite Riders left.

And after the two hundred palace guards, there are Changxiu troops who come one after another......

In just a covered time, one hundred and ten Nine Plains Elite Horsemen were all wiped out.

The collapse of this No. 10 Jingqi was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in the heart of Jiuyuan Jingqi.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

In the chaos, the foot soldiers held Changge in their hands and stabbed towards the Jiuyuan Jingqi riding on the horse. Some were armed with hooked and sickle spears to adjust the fragile feet of horses.

The real strength of cavalry against infantry lies in the speed of sprinting. Once there is no speed, the cavalry is inferior to the infantry.

The fighting continued until dawn, when more than 1,800 Jiuyuan Jingqi rode out, and in the end, there were only less than 200 people who barely escaped.

……

"Bang!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Danghu threw the chopsticks in his hand to the ground fiercely, making a huge noise.

"More than 1,800 people, only you are the ones who have returned!" Li Danghu's eyes were red, and his voice was a little uncoordinated.

"Less, young general...... We have been ambushed by the Chu people! ”

"Are you stupid!"

It's okay not to explain, but as soon as he explained, Li Danghu's voice became louder.

"Major General! You listen to me. We were not ambushed in the depths of the forest, but in an open field two or three miles from the woods. Originally, we were already planning to retreat, but who knows what method the Chu people used, our horses suddenly lost control, and the commander died in a panic, and then fell into the encirclement! ”

"Rubbish!"

Li Danghu gritted his teeth, and finally popped out of his mouth with these two words. I don't know if I'm scolding the person in front of me or the Nine Plains Commander.

Li Danghu also knew in his heart that the main reason for the almost total annihilation of the Jiuyuan Elite Cavalry was that the commander was killed and the dragons were leaderless.

However, at this time, it is obviously meaningless to hold a dead person responsible.

"Major General, I'm afraid this matter will shake the hearts of the army......" In the big tent, Lin Jue, who was cited by Li Danghu as a cronie, said.

"What's your plan?"

"Young General, although the 1,800 elite cavalry is almost annihilated, the Chu people must be not small at once. Why don't you take this opportunity and attack the city in one fell swoop! ”

"However, the enemy's morale is like a rainbow at this time, and our army is ......"

"The major general has no worries. The Chu people acted despicably, and there were already complaints in the army. Although our army is defeated, it is the mourning soldiers who will win! ”
