The common practice of the Great Qin army during the battle was to arrange a small number of ranger sentry within five miles of the battlefield, and these ranger sentry sentry roamed outside the battlefield, the main purpose was to prevent the army from being attacked when it was fighting.

Of course, these ranger sentry posts also have the effect of monitoring whether there are any deserters.

At first, because Wu Rui's move to cross the river attracted the attention of almost all the scouts who were stationed outside the Great Qin, the scout soldiers of the scout battalion generally concentrated on the north bank of the Huai River to check whether there were any rebels crossing the river from other places, and the inland surveillance of the rear of the north bank was virtually weakened.

Xiang Liang's army originally went west along the river bank, but when he saw Wu Rui's army on the south bank of the Huai River from a distance, he changed direction, left the bank and accelerated his speed and moved inland.

Xiang Liang was able to be discovered by the Great Qin scouts within five miles, and as the striker, Xiang Yu's eight thousand Jiangdong Iron Cavalry can be said to have made great contributions. Xiang Yu personally led the twenty-eight horsemen to clear the way forward, and there were nearly a dozen Great Qin scouts cruising around.

These twenty-eight horsemen are the twenty-eight iron horsemen who followed Xiang Yu to the end in the Great War of Haixia in history!

Ten miles closer to Wang Li's army, you can see the lights of Wang Li's camp in the distance, which is very eye-catching in the dark night.

Yang Xiong has always obeyed Wang Li's order to lead an army of 20,000 to guard the camp, Xiang Yu no longer concealed his whereabouts after approaching the camp, at this time obviously he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, eight thousand iron horsemen were not eighty iron horses!

What's more, Xiang Yu didn't think that this big camp could stop his eight thousand Jiangdong iron horses, so he directly led the eight thousand iron horses to rush out of the darkness like a whirlwind and go straight to Wang Li's camp.

The sound of thunderous hooves is extremely shocking in the silent night!

There is no need to report to the scouts who are cruising outside the camp, Yang Xiong, who has been staying in the camp, knew that a large group of cavalry was coming when he felt that the earth trembled, and this cavalry obviously would not be the Qin army, and the 80,000 army was now guarding the banks of the Huai River and would not come back at this time.

Yang Xiong had just put the army on guard, and Xiang Yu's eight thousand iron horsemen had already appeared within sight through the darkness.

"Enemy attack!"

Yang Xiong could at least see clearly through the faint light of the camp that these galloping cavalry were not the black armor that the Great Qin soldiers were equipped with, and they would be sure to be rebels immediately, and there was no time to think about how these rebels ran to the hinterland of the camp at this time.

With Yang Xiong's shouting, the Qin army, which had been on guard before, suddenly moved, and a large number of soldiers with shields rushed to the fence that was rushing towards Xiang Yu's iron horse.

Due to the blockage of the fence of the large camp, it was obvious that the large repeating crossbow machines in the camp were impossible to use, and even if Yang Xiong wanted to use them, there were few crossbow machines for him, and they were all taken away by Wang Li to greet Wu Rui's army who crossed the river.

Although there are no large crossbow machines in the camp, the 20,000 troops guarding the camp are all foot soldiers, and there are more than 1,000 cavalry, and the strong crossbow is the standard equipment in the Great Qin army.

What's more, as a general who has led the army for many years, although he can only vaguely see the black shadow of the iron cavalry rushing over in the camp, Yang Xiong can still hear from the sound of hooves that there will not be too many cavalry attacking the camp, and the strength of the rebels will definitely not exceed the Qin army guarding the camp.

Yang Xiong is still very confident in Daqin's soldiers, although these Xianyang guards may not have the elite of the Jiuyuan Army, but they are not afraid of a rabble like Zhang Er Chen Yu to come twice as much!

Xiang Yu didn't know why he couldn't suppress the inexplicable tyranny in his heart when he saw Qin Jun.

The eight thousand Jiangdong Iron Cavalry is the Xiang clan's exhaustion and accumulation in the Jiangdong land before the equipment and training, these eight thousand iron cavalry have the best equipment, the best treatment, and they are also the most elite army of the Xiang clan today.

Today is their first battle! They have been preparing for this battle for more than a year!

The movements of the Qin army in the camp did not make them feel timid, but increased their fighting ability, and the strong soldiers of Great Qin could only tremble under their iron hooves, and the invincible eight thousand Jiangdong iron cavalry would inevitably reappear on them.

This is the most real and urgent thought in the hearts of Xiang Yu, the eight thousand Jiangdong disciples, and Xiang Yu is the god in their hearts!

Xiang Yu, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped the black horse under his crotch when he was two hundred steps away from the camp, and the spear of ten thousand enemies in his hand was raised, and the eight thousand Jiangdong iron horsemen who were galloping like the wind behind suddenly stopped their horses.

From galloping to stationary, there is no panic in every movement and stillness, and it is strictly uniform.

Two hundred steps, Yang Xiong in the camp could clearly see the movements of the rebel iron cavalry, and his heart couldn't help but sink slightly. Such an order is forbidden, and only the most elite Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry under Great Qin can do so.

Xiang Yu was well aware of the range of the Qin army's strong crossbows, and there was a barracks blocking it in the big camp, and the large repeating crossbow machine was obviously unusable. Xiang Yu took the lead of the Eight Thousand Jiangdong Iron Cavalry behind him by more than ten steps, and the Eight Thousand Jiangdong Iron Cavalry behind him stood quietly behind him.

In later generations, the eastern part of Henan Province, the western part of Shandong Province, the south of the Yellow River, and the north of the Huai River in Anhui Province and Jiangsu Province were the southern part of the North China Plain. It can also be called the Huanghuai River Plain, with flat terrain.

Wang Li's camp was built on several connected undulating hills, and the camp of 100,000 people stretched for nearly ten miles. The large camp sits in the north and faces south, and is divided into four large camps in the southeast, south, and northwest that are respectively read and connected to each other, and the middle of the four large camps is the large camp of the Chinese army.

In front of the Chinese army camp is a huge school field, and a hundred steps in front of the school field is the big camp gate. The front of the camp is densely covered with dense horse traps, horse rejection piles and other things, and there is only a road more than ten zhang wide in front of the camp for entry and exit.

Xiang Yu stood on the black horse, quietly observing the camp. Even if you charge head-on and enter the camp, you will definitely pay a huge price, which is obviously unacceptable to Xiang Yu, who only has eight thousand iron horsemen.

"Yan Shi, do it!" Xiang Yu suddenly spoke.

"The last general!" The two knights of the twenty-eight horsemen who had been standing quietly behind Xiang Yu suddenly rode out of their horses, clenched their fists and bowed.

"The two of you each lead me to Jiangdong Iron Cavalry 1,000, attack it with rockets in front of the battalion, do not break through with the whole army, be careful of the Qin people's strong crossbows, mainly to disturb the enemy!"

"The last general obeys!" After Yan Shi and Gan Ke bowed down to answer the order, they immediately patted their horses down, and each led a thousand Jiangdong iron horsemen to slowly move forward.

Here, Xiang Yu summoned the dragon and whispered a few words, and then the two separated. After a while, the remaining six thousand Jiangdong iron horsemen slowly re-submerged into the darkness and disappeared in front of the camp, and the sound of hooves gradually faded away like thunder.

Yan Shi and Gan Ke led two thousand Jiangdong iron horsemen in a line, slowly approaching the camp.

Things such as horse rejection piles and horse traps in front of the camp are distributed within 50 steps in front of the camp, and after 50 steps is a horse and a flat river, and there will be no obstacles. Looking at the cavalry that was gradually approaching, no more than three thousand, Yang Xiong was very anxious.

He was anxious about the movements of the remaining thousands of cavalry that had disappeared in front of the camp, and he was not too worried about Wang Li's side, after all, Wang Li led 80,000 Great Qin guards and more than 30,000 cavalry, and this cavalry was only more than 10,000 people, and the threat to Wang Li's army would not be too great.

"He Qing and Pingchun, you two immediately lead 1,000 foot soldiers to the east and west camps to be on guard, if there are rebels attacking the camp, you must not retreat a step if you are all killed. Don't let the rebels break the camp! Yang Xiong ordered.

"Whoa!"

He Qing and Pingchun were both Quhou, and then they each led a thousand soldiers under their command to rush to the camps on the east and west sides. The large battalions on the east and west sides originally had 5,000 soldiers left behind to defend them. There were 2,000 soldiers in the southern battalion in the rear.

There were small hills in the southern camp in the rear, and the cavalry could not ride their horses at all, so Yang Xiong was not too worried. After sending two thousand soldiers to the left and right camps again, Yang Xiong was a little settled.

Although he now had only 6,000 foot soldiers with him, he was obviously twice as large as the rebel cavalry approaching the main battalion.

At this moment, Yan Shi and Gan Ke were only one hundred and sixty steps away from the main camp, and only ten steps away from the range of the strong crossbow. Yan Shi and Gan Ke glanced at each other from afar, and then waved the spear in their hands, and more than 100 horsemen from Jiangdong Iron Horse galloped out behind them.

More than 200 horsemen spread out in front of the camp, which was more than five miles wide, and came straight to the camp, each knight holding a large bow in his hand, and the bow was full of rockets that had been ignited.

Seeing the rocket, Yang Xiong's eyes shrank, "Left and right, two hundred archers, out!" Five hundred foot soldiers, ready to put out the fire! Yang Xiong ordered loudly. The camp is full of flammable materials, and if it is not extinguished in time if it is hit by a rocket, the consequences are unimaginable.

Although worried, Yang Xiong was not impatient. It is obvious that the rebels raised their troops to attract the attention of the Qin army's strong crossbows with a small number of bowmen, but the Qin army not only had crossbows, but also bows. Most of the rebels did not move, and Yang Xiong would not let the crossbow be fired.

Soon, more than 200 Jiangdong iron cavalry rushed to the camp and took a hundred steps closer, and the strong bows in their hands were all raised, but they were never fired. The four hundred archers of the Qin army in the large camp have rained down arrows.

However, the Jiangdong iron horsemen on the horses were unusually scattered, and galloped like the wind, and the riding skills were extremely exquisite, and there were very few people who were hit by arrows in the gallop.

Eighty steps!

Seventy steps!

Sixty steps!

Seeing that these two hundred or so riders were about to hit the outermost horse rejection pile.

"Boom!"

There was a dull sound of bowstrings. More than 200 rockets suddenly flew high into the air, like countless brilliant meteors across the night sky, heading straight for the tents scattered in the Chinese army's camp.

The more than 200 horsemen who shot the rocket in their hands picked up the longbow in their hands in a chic and neat manner, turned the reins fiercely, and the war horse under the crotch was unusually neat and simply folded slightly, turned around and wanted to run back and leave the battlefield.

"Bow!" Yang Xiong was unmoved, and said fiercely.

"Buzz!" The sound suddenly rang out from the camp.

Long arrows from two hundred archers on the strings on the left and right suddenly burst out. The distance was too close, and this time at least forty or fifty Jiangdong iron horsemen were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and the rest of the more than a hundred horsemen had already ridden away from their horses.

The longbows of the more than two hundred Jiangdong iron horsemen were obviously specially made, and the range reached more than 120 paces, and dozens of camps on the edge of the school field were hit by arrows

A fire, a raging fire.

The camp was suddenly filled with fire!
