Chapter 007: Wailing all over the field

……

"Kill—"

Xiang Zhang led 80,000 children of the Xiang clan to finally launch a breakthrough offensive, and 800 chariots galloped on the vast field battlefield, and the ground was covered by the dust that was kicked up.

The great array of the coalition forces under the command of Bai Qi was indeed as majestic as a silent valley, but the sound of hunting in the wind and banners in the great array was heard.

"Boom! Boom! Knock knock ......"

Suddenly the war drums rolled like thunder in the great array of the guards, and eight hundred bull horns sounded in the sky, and they heard a thunderous thunder over the fields on the east and west, both of which seemed to be trying to overpower each other.

When the earthy yellow array was almost pressed to the place of half an arrow, the silent large array began to change, but seeing the array of eight thousand three-bow bed crossbows facing the enemy army rushing to launch the first round of salvo, 24,000 crossbow arrows densely shot like rain towards the Xiang Chu army of the 80,000 rushing formation, suddenly, the soldiers on the chariot held shields to block the rain of arrows, and the soldiers of the Chu army stepped into the eight hundred chariots in an orderly manner to avoid the crossbow arrows.

The crossbow bolt hit the war horse in the high-speed rush, and suddenly, the man turned on his horse, and the Chu soldiers behind the chariot lost their strong cover, and continued to charge the battle against the rain of arrows, and hundreds of nearly a thousand soldiers died on the way to the battle with a salvo of crossbow arrows.

"Kill-" Xiang Zhang's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily.

At the same time, Bai Qi, who was standing in front of the formation, suddenly roared: "Where is Wei Yi?" ”

"The last will be—"

"With you commanding our army's 30,000 iron cavalry to intercept and kill the two wings of the Xiang clan's Chu army in two ways, penetrate from the enemy's flank, and go out backwards......"

"No——!" Wei Yu bowed his hand and rode his horse to attack and leave, and saw Wu Anjun in front of the battle slowly pull out the Chiyou ancient sword, and suddenly pointed at the enemy: "What my sword is pointing at, invincible; Where our soldiers go, the wilderness is wailing...... Kill ——! ”

The red banner waved, and two thousand chariots poured out of the large array of the guards like a mountain collapse, attacking towards the Chu army.

In close combat, the Wei army has never been afraid of any army, even the Qin army, which terrifies the countries with close combat, cannot bargain at all, let alone the Chu army?

Before the frontal battlefield was short-handed, the 30,000 cavalry led by Wei Yi took the lead in attacking, and 15,000 cavalry each rolled towards the two wings of the Chu army like a tide, and Wei Yi's target was aimed at the Chu army's foot soldiers behind the chariot.

The chariots of the Chu State were all driven by two horses, and there were three armor soldiers on the chariots, and there were one hundred soldiers behind the chariots, exactly 80,000 Chu soldiers of the Xiang clan.

The Xiang clan is brave, strong and not afraid of death, but the guards are even more than it, their personal combat ability is also surpassed, and the equipment is better than the enemy's, and the 30,000 iron cavalry led by Wei Yi are the first to rush from the two wings.

The patriotic cavalry was well-trained and unified to charge and kill, and they were both cavalrymen, but their tactical tactics were very different from the casual charging and killing of the Hu people in the north, on the contrary, the 30,000 iron cavalry were divided into two ways and turned into two wholes, like two long dragons interspersed with the two wings of the enemy.

The Chu army is the party that takes the initiative to fight, so it can not be avoided, at this time, the disadvantages of the chariot are revealed in front of the cavalry, and there is nothing to be done in the face of the patriotic cavalry interspersed from the two wings, 30,000 iron cavalry with its unparalleled mobility on the battlefield to rush around, and soon avoid the unstoppable chariot, 80,000 infantry troops were suddenly exposed to the front of the rushing cavalry corps, plus the infantry army had no trench cover, and the bronze short sword and spear of the soldiers were not used against the war horse, When the cavalry corps rushed from the two wings like a mountain, the 80,000 infantry army was the brave Xiang clan's disciples, but after all, it was flesh and blood, in the face of 10,000 horses galloping, its crushing general charge, the 80,000 Chu army was immediately divided into pieces, for a time the soldiers did not see the generals, the generals did not see the soldiers, only a loud shout, the brave Xiang Chu soldiers could only hold short swords to face the cavalry charge.

It is no different from the battle of Yangshan and the Qin army, Wei Yiqin led 30,000 iron cavalry from the two wings interspersed, the two iron cavalry met in the Chu army and rushed in one direction, after rushing out of the enemy formation, the cavalry corps immediately poured into the battle again when the Chu army's formation was in chaos, and it was convenient for the flanks to wander in a round, and the 30,000 iron cavalry were in an uninterrupted galloping movement.

Xiang Zhang was really aggrieved to the extreme at this moment, because the Chu army couldn't even touch the butt of the enemy cavalry, unless it was when the other party launched a cavalry charge, and once the charge was launched, it was ten thousand horses galloping, and it was even more unstoppable, countless soldiers of the Xiang clan were trampled to death by horses, and there were very few soldiers who died on the blades of the cavalry.

"Crossbowmen-" Xiang Zhang, who was about to split, shouted angrily, and the Chu army immediately formed a hasty formation in the chaos, but at this moment, the cavalry and foot soldiers wandering on the flanks had already distanced themselves from it, and the archers of the Chu army fired a volley, which could not deal much damage to the cavalry in the high-speed galloping movement to build the city.

At the same time, Bai Qi gave the order: the army launched a charge, and the chariot infantry began to charge. It was intended to join forces with the cavalry to flank the first section of Xiang Zhang.

"The whole army obeys the order, and the guerrilla cavalry shoots ——!" Among the cavalry corps, the commander of the army, Wei Yi, gave an order, and saw that the cavalry on the war horse put away their blades one after another, raised the magpie to draw a bow and took the carved feather arrows on their backs, and the 30,000 iron cavalry in Hufu immediately launched a round of cavalry shooting against the enemy.

In the face of the cavalry of the guards, it was unstoppable; In the face of the cavalry of the guards, there was nothing to do. You can't fight back, you can only be passively hit. Xiang Zhang finally realized the battle of Yangshan, why the invincible Qin army was defeated by the guards, and the infantry army had no advantage over the cavalry.

The soldiers of the Xiang clan died of hatred in such vain, Xiang Zhang hated it, hated that the Chu army did not have an organized cavalry team, otherwise where would the guards be so arrogant? But hateful and helpless, Chu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the war horses needed for the cavalry are indeed rare, even if the cavalry of the defense of the country has taken nearly ten years to form combat effectiveness from the formation to today, and the Chu State in the south wants to say that it is easy to form a cavalry?

When the chariots and infantry of the guards rushed into the field, it was a different scene, when the formation was chaotic due to the disturbance of the cavalry, not only did they not get the slightest bargain after the hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, but the fierce and fearless and sophisticated equipment of the guards, the children of the Xiang clan were beaten and had no power to resist.

After the two armies met each other in short combat, the battlefield immediately shouted to kill the heavens, and the chariots of the two armies were violently collided and bumped, some broke axles, some broke wheels, some soldiers fell off the chariots, and some were crushed to death by the chariots...... There are even those who are disconnected from the wheels of the chariot, and the undriven war horses drag the wagons on the battlefield like headless flies, and there is no distinction between friend and foe.

The first head-to-head confrontation between the two armies lasted for two hours before it ended, the shouting and killing of the battlefield gradually fell silent, Lao Zhaoyang had already ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and the first breakthrough was obviously defeated, Xiang Zhang was unwilling and couldn't bear to wipe out the Xiang clan here, so he retracted back.

Bai Qi also ordered that there should be no pursuit, and ordered the three armies to repair and continue to besiege without attacking, so as to wait for work.

On the battlefield, there are already horse leather shrouds, and there are broken arms and corpses all over the field.

By dusk, the shouts of slaughter on the battlefield had finally fallen silent, and the only sound of the guards cheering for victory could be found on the hills and fields.
