Chapter 335: Peak Duel (8)
Immediately, the thousands of light cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion also followed the three hundred heavy cavalry to break into the Qi army formation, and the more than 1,000 light cavalry who rushed to kill in front showed their snow-bright ring head swords, and endlessly scattered the gaps broken by the heavy cavalry through close combat, and the more than 2,000 light cavalry who supported the follow-up threw a wave of flying spears on the head of the Qi army's heavy armor, causing great damage to the Qi army's heavy armor.
There are also about 6,000 light cavalry divided into two routes, circling the left and right flanks of the Qi ring formation, suppressing the Qi archers and flying spearmen in the center of the ring with cavalry and shooting, preventing them from letting go of arrows or throwing flying spears to kill and injure their own heavy cavalry and the light cavalry that followed the heavy cavalry into the Qi army's formation.

On the towering looking car, the faces of Lou Jing and Cheng Hei were already pale.
Han Xin also looked dignified, elite, this cavalry is the real elite, the real elite, even without the command of the main general, they can also cooperate tacitly and show super attack power, compared with this cavalry, the tens of thousands of Chu cavalry who are fighting with the Qi army in front are simply a group of rabble!
Such an elite, Han Xinrong has only seen two horses for half his life.
One is Xiang Yu's 100,000 elites, the battle of Xiaxia, if it weren't for the Chu army's food exhaustion, it is really difficult to say whether he Han Xin can finally win, and the other is the Chu cavalry in front of him, under the onslaught of this Chu cavalry, the 60,000 elites of the Qi army were beaten to the point that they had no power to fight back, if the Qi army did not change its formation, it would be like a mountain in half an hour at most!
After settling down, Han Xin said in a deep voice: "Daxu is going back, the battalions of the Chinese army are retreating alternately, and the rest of the armies are fighting and retreating. ”
"Whoa!" Cao Ji responded suddenly, turned back to the back of the car, raised the pennanny flags one by one, and in an instant, the Chinese army of Qi that was struggling to support began to slowly retreat, and a few hundred steps ahead, more than 200,000 Qi troops who were strangling the army of Chu with all their might also stopped the offensive and began to turn around and retreat.

The Chu army is in the main formation, looking at the car.
Tie Niu, the pro-military captain, pointed his finger in front and said excitedly: "General, look, the Qi army is retreating!" ”
Bi Shu nodded, and said coldly: "Han Xin is trying to exchange space for time, trying to slowly consume the sharpness of my Xiaocai battalion with the advantage of troops, and then try to counterattack, a good calculation!" ”
After saying this, Bi Shu said: "Order, the Xiao cavalry battalion will attack with all its might, and the rest of the armies and battalions will strengthen the offensive, entangle the enemy in front of them at all costs, and absolutely not let them withdraw to roll back against the Xiao cavalry battalion!" ”
"Whoa!" Tie Niu responded violently, turned around and shouted, "The general has an order, the cavalry battalion will attack with all its might, and the rest of the armies and battalions will entangle the enemy in front of you at all costs!" Do whatever it takes! More than a dozen heralds guarding the flagpole responded with a bang, and raised dozens of pennant flags as fast as they could.

Pengcheng, the Huainan army has broken through the front army camp of the Qi army, but when attacking the Chinese army camp, it was met with stubborn resistance from the Qi army, especially the bed crossbow of the Qi army, which caused great damage to the Huainan army!
After suffering thousands of casualties, Yingbu was so angry that he hurriedly ordered Zhao Zhen to bring in dozens of catapults.
At this time, more than 20 catapults have been lined up outside the Chinese army camp of the Qi army, however, without waiting for Yingbu to order, rows of stone bullets were smashed out of the Qi army camp with a roar, and the Huainan soldiers were caught off guard, and they were immediately killed and injured, and more than 20 catapults that had just been erected were also destroyed.
Dare to love Cao Shen has been waiting here for a long time, before it was the most fierce time of the war, even if the former army camp was broken, Cao Shen has never used the catapult and bed crossbow, until the Huainan army stormed the Chinese army camp, Cao Shen finally sacrificed the bed crossbow, and now, when the Huainan army was ready to use the catapult to suppress the Qi army's bed crossbow, the Qi army's catapult was launched first. ..., after the initial panic, the Huainan army also quickly stabilized its position and fired at the catapults of the Qi army.
"Damn!" Yingbu is still so angry, if he fights like this in the face of Han Xin, it will be fine, but in the face of Cao Shen, he is also so embarrassed, how can Yingbu be embarrassed? At that moment, Yingbu ignored the strong opposition of generals such as Zhao Zhen and Fei Ba, and personally led the elite of the 3,000 forbidden army to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese army camp of the Qi army.
Yingbu was not stunned, and the 3,000 forbidden army was fully prepared.
Rows of giant oars were pushed to the front, and these giant oars were all made of superimposed giant oars on three or more sides, and the thickness was more than five inches, enough to resist the shooting of the crossbows of the Qi army's beds! Under the cover of the giant turret, Yingbu's 3,000 forbidden troops advanced to the trench outside the Qi army camp without much effort.
Now, the Huainan army can no longer move forward, at least until the deer in the trench is cleared or the trench is filled, of course, at this time, the Huainan army's flying spears can also pose a threat to the Qi army hiding behind the fence of the camp, especially the Qi army's bed crossbow, can no longer be unscrupulous.
The real vicious war, which has a direct bearing on the national fortunes of the two countries, has finally begun......
##########
On the north bank of Surabaya, fierce fighting continues.
Under the traction of hundreds of bare-chested and bareback Hercules, the towering lookout car was slowly moving forward, and on top of the lookout car, Bi Shu's expression was solemn, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, between his noses, and even in his hair, and the powerlessness of being rejected and restrained everywhere still hung over his head like a lingering haze.
Because of the fierce attack of the cavalry battalion, Han Xin had no choice but to give the order to retreat.
But even when retreating, Han Xin was still firmly in control of the situation on the battlefield, if it was another person to command, the Qi army would have been defeated long ago, but under the command of Han Xin, the Qi army was not in the slightest chaos, whether it was the alternating cover between the various armies and battalions, or the cooperation between the various arms, it was perfect!
Although the Chu army tried its best to storm and try to disrupt and destroy the formation of the Qi army, it was never able to succeed!
Even, there was a light battalion of the Chu army that was surrounded by the Qi army because of its rash advance, and by the time the rest of the armies and battalions chiseled through the Qi army front and rescued this light barracks, there were less than 1,000 people left of more than 5,000 people!
With rich experience in battle formations, Han Xin can always find the loopholes of the Chu army or the Qi army before Bi Shu, and can always react before Bi Shu, maybe the gap between the two is only so small, and the time difference between the reaction is only a small one, but once it is projected on the battlefield, this gap is immediately infinitely magnified!
If you miss a millimeter, you will be wrong, and that's what you say!
By now, Bi Shu knew very well that the Chu army had no hope of winning!
At the beginning of the war, the Chu army failed to defeat the Qi army with the advantage of weapons, and Yingbu's Huainan army had no news for a long time, and it was probably impossible to break through the Qi State camp.
However, even if he couldn't win, Bi Shu was not too busy.
With a powerful opponent like Han Xin, how could Bi Shu not leave behind? Once the battle situation is unfavorable, the Chu army can completely retreat into the camp to hold on, the camp has a large number of bed crossbows, wells and catapults, these equipment are specially designed for the Chu army by the craftsman master Gong Zhiche, whether it is range or lethality, it is far better than the rest of the countries!
With these sharp instruments and sufficient grain and grass, the Chu army had no problem holding out for half a year.
It's just that in this way, the result of the fall of Pengcheng and the destruction of Huainan is unavoidable, and it is likely to affect the great cause of the king's attack on Bashu. …,##########
In the midst of the chaos, the speed of the horses of the three hundred heavy horses had slowed down.
Xi Qilie had clearly heard the heavy wheezing sound of the mount under his crotch, obviously, the physical strength of the war horse was close to the limit, although the impact of the ironclad heavy horse was incomparable, but the endurance was quite limited, and the weight of seven or eight hundred catties continued to charge, no matter how strong the war horse was, it would definitely not be able to support it for too long.
So far, only a dozen of the 300 heavy riders have been lost.
However, the situation of the three hundred heavy cavalry is becoming more and more dangerous, as the speed of the horse slows down, the pressure faced by the three hundred heavy cavalry suddenly increases, and the Qi army's heavy party formation, which was originally as fragile as a chicken and tile dog, suddenly becomes thick and solid, and now the three hundred heavy cavalry make greater efforts for every small step forward.
Xi Qilie took a deep breath of bloody air, slightly relieved his chest and lungs that were about to explode, and then hatefully issued an order to retreat, the heavy cavalry could no longer continue to assault forward, this was still because the Qi army had no experience in fighting against the heavy cavalry, otherwise, the Qi army only needed to replace the light soldiers with dead soldiers, and his three hundred heavy cavalry should be handed over here!

In the center of the circular array surrounded by the Chinese army of the Qi State, Han Xin's lookout car was slowly moving backwards under the traction of hundreds of wrestlers.
Seeing the Chu State Heavy Cavalry turn around and retreat, a smug smile suddenly bloomed on the corner of Han Xin's mouth, how can the attack power of the Chu State Heavy Cavalry be sharp? In the face of the almost endless defense of the Qi country's heavy armor one after another, it has to rest! Just like Xiang Yu's 20,000 pro-army at the beginning, they were about to kill themselves, and they were defeated in the end?
At that moment, Han Xin raised his right hand, and said with a little excitement: "Daxu forward, the Chinese army will entangle the cavalry of the Chu army at all costs, and the rest of the armies will divide their troops and roll back, and give the widow to eat this elite cavalry of the Chu State!" ”
"Whoa!" Su Weilang responded to Cao Wei with a bang, and as soon as he turned around and waved, more than a dozen pennant flags were quickly raised.
Suddenly, the Chinese army of Qi that was slowly retreating stopped retreating and launched a counterattack on the Chu army's cavalry battalion, and the remaining armies that were fighting and retreating were divided into two groups, one part continued to fight with the Chu army in front of them, and the other part rolled back, trying to cooperate with the Chinese army to encircle and annihilate the Chu army's cavalry battalion.
Standing on the lookout car and looking down condescendingly, I saw that the Qi army's wild goose walking array was divided into two halves in an instant, one pair still maintained the wild goose walking array, and the other half was separated from the wild goose walking array and rolled backwards, and the entire wild goose walking array turned into a butterfly array.
