Chapter 80: Pursuing Liu Bang

Just after the 3,000 cavalry led by He Yutai blew up Cao Shen's cavalry with more than 2,000 thunderbolts, he led the army to rush into Cao Shen's cavalry formation, and was heavily surrounded by it, seeing that the situation was in a hurry

However, the 27,000 Qin infantry who rushed up surrounded Cao Shen's army, which had only more than 10,000 cavalry left

When the Qin army came up, they deployed 5,000 archers, and they could strafe at Cao Shen's cavalry

In the situation of heavy losses, Cao Shen could only detach a part of the cavalry and rush to the Qin infantry. The Qin cavalry who were surrounded suddenly lost their pressure

However, the Qin infantry was not a good thing, everyone was armed with spears and long ges more than two meters long, and they did not fall behind in front of the cavalry who had no horse pedals and had lost their impact advantage

The Qin army relied on the tactics of the sea of people to eat away at the more than 10,000 cavalry of Liu Bangjun's army little by little...

And Cao Shen led the cavalry army to become more and more panicked the more he fought, how... The main infantry of the lord has not yet arrived?

It stands to reason that I should have caught up with the front a long time ago, could it be... Encountered an ambush by the Qin army again?

When the battle reached a pillar of incense, Cao Shen was extremely shocked when he saw the Qin army's increasingly tight and shrinking encirclement... Is this still the Qin army that collapsed in the first battle of the Kwantung region?

And the thousands of Qin cavalry that had been surrounded had not been gnawed down by Cao Shen for a long time

Cao Shen realized that if it dragged on any longer, I was afraid that all the cavalry would be lost here, after analyzing the situation

Decisively rushed towards a point in the encirclement of the Qin army, relying on some of the remaining main cavalry, he finally broke through the encirclement, and led the remnants of the army in the direction of the pass without looking back...

But Cao Shen only led 3,000 cavalry to rush out, and there were nearly 5,000 cavalry in the encirclement who did not rush out

They dismounted one after another, threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Qin army

And He Yutai's 3,000 cavalry was eventually consumed to less than 1,000 Qin cavalry in the encirclement, and his heart ached for a while

But after looking at the results of the battle, he was quite satisfied, and this battle used the surprise attack effect of 'thunderbolts' to behead more than 12,000 knights of Liu Bangjun's army and surrender more than 5,000 troops

Get 11,000 horses!

But... He was run away by his master. The goal of this battle was to completely annihilate Liu Bangjun

Of course, He Yutai was unwilling, and immediately led the remaining 1,000 horsemen to chase after Cao Shen...

......

At this time, He Yutai led a thousand Qin cavalry to chase Cao Shen past the flank of the main force of the Qin army, paused, and saw that this side had won a complete victory

The corners of his mouth rose and he flicked his horsewhip again, leading more than a thousand Qin cavalry to continue to chase after Cao Shen's army

When Wang Da, the deputy general of the Qin cavalry, saw it, he would also smile in his heart, and the cavalry battle was finally victorious! I don't know if it's a total win

shouted: "All knights obey!" Follow me to catch up with General He Yutai, reinforce General Li, and annihilate Liu Bang!! ”

Hearing the tsunami, the Qin army shouted like a tsunami: "Annihilate Liu Bang!" Annihilate Liu Bang! ...”

There are still more than 1,200 horsemen left on Wang Da's side, plus He Yutai's 1,000 horses, and Li Xin's hundreds of horsemen, which is enough to beat the water dogs

......

It is said that Li Xin has led five hundred Qin cavalry to pursue Liu Bang for almost an hour, and at this time the soldiers are tired and tired, and the blood and courage that rushed into Liu Bang's army just now are almost consumed by the fatigue

But seeing that Liu Bang's hundreds of cavalry were close to more than a mile away, as long as he held on a little longer, he would be able to catch up with Liu Bang. Thinking of this, the soldiers of the Qin army cheered up and continued to speed up the pursuit

Li Xin was very calm at the moment, because he had already calculated that before Liu Bang arrived at the pass, he would be able to successfully intercept this group of cavalry

After chasing half a pillar of incense again, Liu Bang's marching speed in front seemed to be a little slower

Li Xin and the others were overjoyed, and increased their speed to the extreme, catching up with Liu Bang and the others in a few breaths

Without saying a word, Li Xin took the lead, and after contacting the enemy, he swept away the two knights with a halberd

The Qin army behind pounced like hungry wolves, and with only one face, Liu Bang's side had already lost more than eighty knights

Liu Bang and several strategists turned pale with fright, and when they drew their horsewhips, they couldn't care about anything, and they sped up and rushed forward...

When Li Xin saw it, he shouted: "Don't care about these cavalry, tear open the defense line and go straight to Liu Bang!" ”

After hearing this, the Qin cavalry perked up, and in a moment, hundreds of Qin cavalry gathered together, and directly cut the hundreds of cavalry led by Liu Bang into two pieces like a sharp knife

Li Xin was the first to break out of the defensive line, and the Qin army behind him rushed out, chasing Liu Bang's remaining dozens of men...

In less than ten breaths, he left behind the hundreds of cavalry who were in the way

Liu Bang's hundreds of horsemen were stunned in place and at a loss, with the current rout, they were not the opponents of the Qin army at all

Suddenly!

A rumbling sound sounded, and the cavalry looked to the rear, only to see thousands of cavalry desperately coming in the direction of the pass

When they got closer, they saw that the leader was General Cao Sen, and all the knights were overjoyed, and finally found the backbone

When Cao Shen saw that it was his own cavalry, he stopped for a moment and asked where Liu Bang was, when this cavalry said that the lord was being pursued by the Qin army

The killing intent on Cao Shen's face became stronger and stronger, and he led all the cavalry to speed up and rush forward

Vowed to kill this small group of Qin cavalry!

...

And Li Xin led hundreds of cavalry to catch up with Liu Bang for about a quarter of an hour, and this time he did not directly charge and kill, because the enemy cavalry and the commander are only about fifty horsemen now

Li Xin ordered the Qin cavalry to surround Liu Bang and the dozens of people, and walked to the few people who seemed to be the commander with the reins of the horse

"Do you still want to run? Who is Liu Bang? ”

Liu Bang was already discouraged at this time, and he was very sorry for his life. Unbeknownst to him, this Qin army was like a dog's skin plaster, chasing after him

Looks like it's going to be a disaster today...

"I'm Liu Bang! Who are you? ”

Li Xin looked at the middle-aged man who replied, his expression was surprised, he didn't expect that this Liu Bang was also dignified, quite a gentleman's demeanor

Liu Bang was also surprised: "Xiao He, why are you pretending to be me?" ”

Xiao He couldn't wait to go up and give Liu Bang a few ear scrapers, when was it, and he also recognized his identity: "Lord, you... Why do you have to admit it. Hey..."

Liu Bang smiled dumbly and said, "Xiao He, when you and I raised troops in Dangxian, we were ready for today. We can't get away with it, what's the point of you pretending to be me. ”

The corners of Li Xin's mouth rose: "Your bearing is not bad, you can fight all the way to the Lantian camp, I admire you, Liu Peigong." Hehe. ”

Liu Bang had put life and death aside at this time, and said indifferently: "Who are you?" Who is the commander of the Qin army? Tell me. ”

Li Xin laughed and said: "Pei Gong, Pei Gong, today's situation is what I have set up, I am the chief general of the Qin army, and Li Xin is also." ”

Liu Bang was shocked: "You are Li Xin?" ”

Xiao He also exclaimed: "Could it be Li Xin who participated in the war to destroy Yan and Chu back then?" ”

Li Xin: "It's exactly below. ”

Xiao He laughed helplessly after hearing this, and then turned his head to look at Liu Bang: "Lord, we are not unjustly lost, Li Xin has achieved fame when he was young, and he is a famous general." If we had known that Guanzhong was led by Li Xin, we would never have entered the customs in such a hurry... Hahaha..."
